Programs & Examples On #Debugging

Debugging is a methodical process of finding and fixing bugs in a computer program. **IMPORTANT NOTE:** This tag is ONLY for questions about debugging techniques or the process of debugging itself, NOT for requesting help debugging your code.

How do you get assembler output from C/C++ source in gcc?

Use the -S switch

g++ -S main.cpp

or also with gcc

gcc -S main.c

Debugging Stored Procedure in SQL Server 2008

  • Yes, although it can be tricky to get debugging working, especially if trying to debug SQL on a remote SQL server from your own development machine.
  • In the first instance I'd recommend getting this working by debugging directly on the server first, if possible.
  • Log to the SQL server using an account that has sysadmin rights, or ask your DBA to to do this.
  • Then, for your own Windows account, create a 'login' in SQL Server, if it isn't already there:

enter image description here

  • Right-click the account > properties - ensure that the login is a member of the 'sysadmin' role:

enter image description here

  • (also ensure that the account is 'owner' of any databases that you want to debug scripts (e.g. stored procs) for:

enter image description here

  • Then, login directly onto the SQL server using your Windows account.
  • Login to SQL server using Windows Authentication (using the account you've just used to log into the server)
  • Now 'Debug' the query in SQL management studio, setting breakpoints as necessary. You can step into stored procs using F11:

Can I use GDB to debug a running process?

Yes. Use the attach command. Check out this link for more information. Typing help attach at a GDB console gives the following:

(gdb) help attach

Attach to a process or file outside of GDB. This command attaches to another target, of the same type as your last "target" command ("info files" will show your target stack). The command may take as argument a process id, a process name (with an optional process-id as a suffix), or a device file. For a process id, you must have permission to send the process a signal, and it must have the same effective uid as the debugger. When using "attach" to an existing process, the debugger finds the program running in the process, looking first in the current working directory, or (if not found there) using the source file search path (see the "directory" command). You can also use the "file" command to specify the program, and to load its symbol table.


NOTE: You may have difficulty attaching to a process due to improved security in the Linux kernel - for example attaching to the child of one shell from another.

You'll likely need to set /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope depending on your requirements. Many systems now default to 1 or higher.

The sysctl settings (writable only with CAP_SYS_PTRACE) are:

0 - classic ptrace permissions: a process can PTRACE_ATTACH to any other
    process running under the same uid, as long as it is dumpable (i.e.
    did not transition uids, start privileged, or have called
    prctl(PR_SET_DUMPABLE...) already). Similarly, PTRACE_TRACEME is
    unchanged.

1 - restricted ptrace: a process must have a predefined relationship
    with the inferior it wants to call PTRACE_ATTACH on. By default,
    this relationship is that of only its descendants when the above
    classic criteria is also met. To change the relationship, an
    inferior can call prctl(PR_SET_PTRACER, debugger, ...) to declare
    an allowed debugger PID to call PTRACE_ATTACH on the inferior.
    Using PTRACE_TRACEME is unchanged.

2 - admin-only attach: only processes with CAP_SYS_PTRACE may use ptrace
    with PTRACE_ATTACH, or through children calling PTRACE_TRACEME.

3 - no attach: no processes may use ptrace with PTRACE_ATTACH nor via
    PTRACE_TRACEME. Once set, this sysctl value cannot be changed.

View array in Visual Studio debugger?

Are you trying to view an array with memory allocated dynamically? If not, you can view an array for C++ and C# by putting it in the watch window in the debugger, with its contents visible when you expand the array on the little (+) in the watch window by a left mouse-click.

If it's a pointer to a dynamically allocated array, to view N contents of the pointer, type "pointer, N" in the watch window of the debugger. Note, N must be an integer or the debugger will give you an error saying it can't access the contents. Then, left click on the little (+) icon that appears to view the contents.

How to run or debug php on Visual Studio Code (VSCode)

To debug php with vscode,you need these things:

  1. vscode with php debuge plugin(XDebug) installed;
  2. php with XDebug.so/XDebug.dll downloaded and configured;
  3. a web server,such as apache/nginx or just nothing(use the php built-in server)

you can gently walk through step 1 and 2,by following the vscode official guide.It is fully recommended to use XDebug installation wizard to verify your XDebug configuration.

If you want to debug without a standalone web server,the php built-in maybe a choice.Start the built-in server by php -S localhost:port -t path/to/your/project command,setting your project dir as document root.You can refer to this post for more details.

Easier way to debug a Windows service

For routine small-stuff programming I've done a very simple trick to easily debug my service:

On start of the service, I check for a command line parameter "/debug". If the service is called with this parameter, I don't do the usual service startup, but instead start all the listeners and just display a messagebox "Debug in progress, press ok to end".

So if my service is started the usual way, it will start as service, if it is started with the command line parameter /debug it will act like a normal program.

In VS I'll just add /debug as debugging parameter and start the service program directly.

This way I can easily debug for most small kind problems. Of course, some stuff still will need to be debugged as service, but for 99% this is good enough.

How do I print debug messages in the Google Chrome JavaScript Console?

You could use console.log() if you have a debugged code in what programming software editor you have and you will see the output mostly likely the best editor for me (Google Chrome). Just press F12 and press the Console tab. You will see the result. Happy coding. :)

How to call JavaScript function instead of href in HTML

If you only have as "click event handler", use a <button> instead. A link has a specific semantic meaning.

E.g.:

<button onclick="ShowOld(2367,146986,2)">
    <img title="next page" alt="next page" src="/themes/me/img/arrn.png">
</button>

Test iOS app on device without apple developer program or jailbreak

Seven years after the inception of the App Store (July 10, 2008), Apple has finally introduced a new feature in Xcode 7 that allows you to deploy and run any number of apps on any of your devices, simply by logging in with your Apple ID. You will no longer need a paid Program membership to deploy apps on your own device (and you certainly no longer have to jailbreak your device if you're not comfortable doing so).

Well, not for the majority of use cases anyway. For obvious reasons, certain capabilities and entitlements that require Program membership such as Game Center and in-app purchases will not be available to apps deployed using this method. From Apple's developer documentation:

Launch Your App on Devices Using Free Provisioning (iOS, watchOS)

If you don’t join the Apple Developer Program, you can still build and run your app on your devices using free provisioning. However, the capabilities available to your app, described in Adding Capabilities, are restricted when you don’t belong to the Apple Developer Program.

The precise steps to getting your app onto your iOS device or Apple Watch follow immediately thus (screenshots omitted for ease of skimming):

  1. In Xcode, add your Apple ID to Accounts preferences, described in Adding Your Apple ID Account in Xcode.

  2. In the project navigator, select the project and your target to display the project editor.

  3. Click General and choose your name from the Team pop-up menu.

  4. Connect the device to your Mac and choose your device from the Scheme toolbar menu.

  5. Below the Team pop-up menu, click Fix Issue.

    Xcode creates a free provisioning profile for you and the warning text under the Team pop-up menu disappears.

  6. Click the Run button.

    Xcode installs the app on the device before launching the app.

Prior to Xcode 7, a Program membership was indeed required in order to sign the provisioning certificates required to deploy apps to devices. The only other alternative was jailbreaking. With Xcode 7, you no longer need to jailbreak your device just to run apps distributed outside the App Store, or to test apps if you cannot afford to join the Program, or to deploy and use apps that you have developed for your own personal use if you do not intend to distribute them through the App Store (in which case you probably don't need the entitlements offered by Program membership anyway).

What is private bytes, virtual bytes, working set?

There is an interesting discussion here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vcgeneral/thread/307d658a-f677-40f2-bdef-e6352b0bfe9e/ My understanding of this thread is that freeing small allocations are not reflected in Private Bytes or Working Set.

Long story short:

if I call

p=malloc(1000);
free(p);

then the Private Bytes reflect only the allocation, not the deallocation.

if I call

p=malloc(>512k);
free(p);

then the Private Bytes correctly reflect the allocation and the deallocation.

How do I print the elements of a C++ vector in GDB?

To view vector std::vector myVector contents, just type in GDB:

(gdb) print myVector

This will produce an output similar to:

$1 = std::vector of length 3, capacity 4 = {10, 20, 30}

To achieve above, you need to have gdb 7 (I tested it on gdb 7.01) and some python pretty-printer. Installation process of these is described on gdb wiki.

What is more, after installing above, this works well with Eclipse C++ debugger GUI (and any other IDE using GDB, as I think).

Is there a built-in function to print all the current properties and values of an object?

You can use the "dir()" function to do this.

>>> import sys
>>> dir(sys)
['__displayhook__', '__doc__', '__excepthook__', '__name__', '__stderr__', '__stdin__', '__stdo
t__', '_current_frames', '_getframe', 'api_version', 'argv', 'builtin_module_names', 'byteorder
, 'call_tracing', 'callstats', 'copyright', 'displayhook', 'dllhandle', 'exc_clear', 'exc_info'
 'exc_type', 'excepthook', 'exec_prefix', 'executable', 'exit', 'getcheckinterval', 'getdefault
ncoding', 'getfilesystemencoding', 'getrecursionlimit', 'getrefcount', 'getwindowsversion', 'he
version', 'maxint', 'maxunicode', 'meta_path', 'modules', 'path', 'path_hooks', 'path_importer_
ache', 'platform', 'prefix', 'ps1', 'ps2', 'setcheckinterval', 'setprofile', 'setrecursionlimit
, 'settrace', 'stderr', 'stdin', 'stdout', 'subversion', 'version', 'version_info', 'warnoption
', 'winver']
>>>

Another useful feature is help.

>>> help(sys)

Eclipse doesn't stop at breakpoints

If cleaning and restart machine do not help, the reason may be the default debug port is used by another app. Changing to another value should work. In my case using IBM RAD:

  1. Open Administration Console
  2. Go to Server/Server Types/WebSphere application servers. Click link [server1] (the default name)
  3. Open Java and Process Management/Process definition
  4. Open Java Virtual Machine
  5. At [Debug arguments], change port number 7777 to the new one
  6. Save and restart Server. Done!

How do I remedy "The breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document." warning?

Check if your .pbd file is missing in your bin/Debug folder. If it is then go to "Properties" of your project, selected "Build" and then "Advanced" at the bottom. Choose "full" under "Debug info" in the new window that appeared. This was my issue and solved it for me.

Showing where to find the setting

Will #if RELEASE work like #if DEBUG does in C#?

"Pop Catalin" got it right. Controlling the definition based on the type of build provides a great deal of flexibility. For example, you can have a "DEBUG", "DEMO", and "RELEASE" configuration all in the same solution. That prevents the need for duplicate programming with two different solutions.

So yes #if RELEASE or #if (RELEASE) works the same as #if DEBUG when the RELEASE Conditional compilation symbol is defined.

The following is taken from "Pop Catalin" post: If you want to define a RELEASE constant for the release configuration go to: * Project Properties -> Build * Select Release Mode * in the Conditional compilation symbols textbox enter: RELEASE

C# if/then directives for debug vs release

It is worth noting here that one of the most significant differences between conditionally executing code based on #if DEBUG versus if(System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached) is that the compiler directive changes the code that is compiled. That is, if you have two different statements in an #if DEBUG/#else/#endif conditional block, only one of them will appear in the compiled code. This is an important distinction because it allows you do do things such as conditionally compile method definitions to be public void mymethod() versus internal void mymethod() depending on build type so that you can, for example, run unit tests on debug builds that will not break access control on production builds, or conditionally compile helper functions in debug builds that will not appear in the final code if they would violate security in some way should they escape into the wild. The IsAttached property, on the other hand, does not affect the compiled code. Both sets of code are in all of the builds - the IsAttached condition will only affect what is executed. This by itself can present a security issue.

How to determine whether code is running in DEBUG / RELEASE build?

Check your project's build settings under 'Apple LLVM - Preprocessing', 'Preprocessor Macros' for debug to ensure that DEBUG is being set - do this by selecting the project and clicking on the build settings tab. Search for DEBUG and look to see if indeed DEBUG is being set.

Pay attention though. You may see DEBUG changed to another variable name such as DEBUG_MODE.

Build Settings tab of my project settings

then conditionally code for DEBUG in your source files

#ifdef DEBUG

// Something to log your sensitive data here

#else

// 

#endif

Is there a C++ gdb GUI for Linux?

Similar comfortable to the eclipse gdb frontend is the emacs frontend, tightly tied to the emacs IDE. If you already work with emacs, you will like it:

How can I debug a .BAT script?

Did you try to reroute the result to a file? Like whatever.bat >log.txt

You have to make sure that in this case every other called script is also logging to the file like >>log.txt

Also if you put a date /T and time /T in the beginning and in the end of that batch file, you will get the times it was at that point and you can map your script running time and order.

Compile throws a "User-defined type not defined" error but does not go to the offending line of code

I had the same error yesterday: I had two classes, cProgress and cProgressEx, in my project, one of which was no longer used, and when I removed cProgress class I was given this same compilation error.

I managed to fix the error as follows:

  • Exported all modules, forms and classes to the hard drive
  • Removed everything from the project
  • Saved the project
  • Reimported all modules, forms and classes, removed cProgress class, and compiled.
  • The error disappeared.

__FILE__, __LINE__, and __FUNCTION__ usage in C++

C++20 std::source_location

C++ has finally added a non-macro option, and it will likely dominate at some point in the future when C++20 becomes widespread:

The documentation says:

constexpr const char* function_name() const noexcept;

6 Returns: If this object represents a position in the body of a function, returns an implementation-defined NTBS that should correspond to the function name. Otherwise, returns an empty string.

where NTBS means "Null Terminated Byte String".

I'll give it a try when support arrives to GCC, GCC 9.1.0 with g++-9 -std=c++2a still doesn't support it.

https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/source_location claims usage will be like:

#include <iostream>
#include <string_view>
#include <source_location>

void log(std::string_view message,
         const std::source_location& location std::source_location::current()
) {
    std::cout << "info:"
              << location.file_name() << ":"
              << location.line() << ":"
              << location.function_name() << " "
              << message << '\n';
}

int main() {
    log("Hello world!");
}

Possible output:

info:main.cpp:16:main Hello world!

How do you use the Immediate Window in Visual Studio?

One nice feature of the Immediate Window in Visual Studio is its ability to evaluate the return value of a method particularly if it is called by your client code but it is not part of a variable assignment. In Debug mode, as mentioned, you can interact with variables and execute expressions in memory which plays an important role in being able to do this.

For example, if you had a static method that returns the sum of two numbers such as:

private static int GetSum(int a, int b)
{
    return a + b;
}

Then in the Immediate Window you can type the following:

? GetSum(2, 4)
6

As you can seen, this works really well for static methods. However, if the method is non-static then you need to interact with a reference to the object the method belongs to.

For example, let’s say this is what your class looks like:

private class Foo
{
    public string GetMessage()
    {
        return "hello";
    }
}

If the object already exists in memory and it’s in scope, then you can call it in the Immediate Window as long as it has been instantiated before your current breakpoint (or, at least, before wherever the code is paused in debug mode):

? foo.GetMessage(); // object ‘foo’ already exists
"hello"

In addition, if you want to interact and test the method directly without relying on an existing instance in memory, then you can instantiate your own instance in the Immediate Window:

? Foo foo = new Foo(); // new instance of ‘Foo’
{temp.Program.Foo}
? foo.GetMessage()
"hello"

You can take it a step further and temporarily assign the method's results to variables if you want to do further evaluations, calculations, etc.:

? string msg = foo.GetMessage();
"hello"
? msg + " there!"
"hello there!"

Furthermore, if you don’t even want to declare a variable name for a new object and just want to run one of its methods/functions then do this:

? new Foo().GetMessage()
"hello" 

A very common way to see the value of a method is to select the method name of a class and do a ‘Add Watch’ so that you can see its current value in the Watch window. However, once again, the object needs to be instantiated and in scope for a valid value to be displayed. This is much less powerful and more restrictive than using the Immediate Window.

Along with inspecting methods, you can do simple math equations:

? 5 * 6
30

or compare values:

? 5==6
false
? 6==6
true

The question mark ('?') is unnecessary if you are in directly in the Immediate Window but it is included here for clarity (to distinguish between the typed in expressions versus the results.) However, if you are in the Command Window and need to do some quick stuff in the Immediate Window then precede your statements with '?' and off you go.

Intellisense works in the Immediate Window, but it sometimes can be a bit inconsistent. In my experience, it seems to be only available in Debug mode, but not in design, non-debug mode.

Unfortunately, another drawback of the Immediate Window is that it does not support loops.

Is it possible to disable the network in iOS Simulator?

Yes. In Xcode, you can go to Xcode menu item -> Open Developer Tools -> More Developer Tools and download "Additional Tools for Xcode", which will have the Network Link Conditioner.

Using this tool, you can simulate different network scenarios (such as 100% loss, 3G, High latency DNS, and more) and you can create your own custom ones as well.

Capturing console output from a .NET application (C#)

This can be quite easily achieved using the ProcessStartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput property. A full sample is contained in the linked MSDN documentation; the only caveat is that you may have to redirect the standard error stream as well to see all output of your application.

Process compiler = new Process();
compiler.StartInfo.FileName = "csc.exe";
compiler.StartInfo.Arguments = "/r:System.dll /out:sample.exe stdstr.cs";
compiler.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
compiler.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
compiler.Start();    

Console.WriteLine(compiler.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd());

compiler.WaitForExit();

How to track down a "double free or corruption" error

Are you using smart pointers such as Boost shared_ptr? If so, check if you are directly using the raw pointer anywhere by calling get(). I've found this to be quite a common problem.

For example, imagine a scenario where a raw pointer is passed (maybe as a callback handler, say) to your code. You might decide to assign this to a smart pointer in order to cope with reference counting etc. Big mistake: your code doesn't own this pointer unless you take a deep copy. When your code is done with the smart pointer it will destroy it and attempt to destroy the memory it points to since it thinks that no-one else needs it, but the calling code will then try to delete it and you'll get a double free problem.

Of course, that might not be your problem here. At it's simplest here's an example which shows how it can happen. The first delete is fine but the compiler senses that it's already deleted that memory and causes a problem. That's why assigning 0 to a pointer immediately after deletion is a good idea.

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    char* ptr = new char[20];

    delete[] ptr;
    ptr = 0;  // Comment me out and watch me crash and burn.
    delete[] ptr;
}

Edit: changed delete to delete[], as ptr is an array of char.

Unable to open debugger port in IntelliJ

How can I debug javascript on Android?

Full Chrome remote debugging of Android native browser on a Galaxy S6 on Android 5.1.1:

  1. Enable USB Debugging on phone (Settings, about, rapidly tap build number, developer settings, USB debugging)
  2. Open "Internet"
  3. Navigate to 'about:debug' (you will see an error)
  4. MORE menu > Settings > Debug > Remote Debugging
  5. Attach phone to computer with USB cable
  6. On the phone, in the Internet web browser, open the site you want to debug
  7. Open Chrome on computer
  8. Navigate to 'chrome://inspect'
  9. Click inspect on the browser tab you want to inspect

The Galaxy S5 devices shows in Chrome but the tabs only show after you restart. After restarting and attempting to attach, the mobile browser crashes.

JavaScript console.log causes error: "Synchronous XMLHttpRequest on the main thread is deprecated..."

To avoid this warning, do not use:

The default is

async: true

jQuery has deprecated synchronous XMLHTTPRequest

Debugging in Maven?

If you are using Maven 2.0.8+, run the mvnDebug command in place of mvn and attach a debugger on port 8000.

For Maven <2.0.8, uncomment the following line in your %M2_HOME%/bin/mvn.bat (and maybe save the modified version as mvnDebug.bat):

@REM set MAVEN_OPTS=-Xdebug -Xnoagent -Djava.compiler=NONE -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=8000

How can I write to the console in PHP?

There is also a great Google Chrome extension, PHP Console, with a PHP library that allows you to:

  • See errors and exceptions in the Chrome JavaScript console and in the notification popups.
  • Dump any type of variable.
  • Execute PHP code remotely.
  • Protect access by password.
  • Group console logs by request.
  • Jump to error file:line in your text editor.
  • Copy error/debug data to the clipboard (for testers).

How do I debug "Error: spawn ENOENT" on node.js?

@laconbass's answer helped me and is probably most correct.

I came here because I was using spawn incorrectly. As a simple example:

this is incorrect:

const s = cp.spawn('npm install -D suman', [], {
    cwd: root
});

this is incorrect:

const s = cp.spawn('npm', ['install -D suman'], {
    cwd: root
});

this is correct:

const s = cp.spawn('npm', ['install','-D','suman'], {
    cwd: root
});

however, I recommend doing it this way:

const s = cp.spawn('bash');
s.stdin.end(`cd "${root}" && npm install -D suman`);
s.once('exit', code => {
   // exit
});

this is because then the cp.on('exit', fn) event will always fire, as long as bash is installed, otherwise, the cp.on('error', fn) event might fire first, if we use it the first way, if we launch 'npm' directly.

_DEBUG vs NDEBUG

Unfortunately DEBUG is overloaded heavily. For instance, it's recommended to always generate and save a pdb file for RELEASE builds. Which means one of the -Zx flags, and -DEBUG linker option. While _DEBUG relates to special debug versions of runtime library such as calls to malloc and free. Then NDEBUG will disable assertions.

How do I print the full value of a long string in gdb?

set print elements 0

From the GDB manual:

set print elements number-of-elements
Set a limit on how many elements of an array GDB will print. If GDB is printing a large array, it stops printing after it has printed the number of elements set by the set print elements command. This limit also applies to the display of strings. When GDB starts, this limit is set to 200. Setting number-of-elements to zero means that the printing is unlimited.

Xcode Debugger: view value of variable

Check this How to view contents of NSDictionary variable in Xcode debugger?

I also use

po variableName
print variableName

in Console.

In your case it is possible to execute

print [myData objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]  

or

po [myData objectAtIndex:indexPath.row]

Chrome: Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input

For the record, for anyone trying to find the various causes for this error. An empty HTML5 data attribute

data-mydata = ''

causes the error too. You should check when the data value is a null string and not include the attribute at all. It goes without saying this is largely relevant to script generated HTML.

Release generating .pdb files, why?

Debug symbols (.pdb) and XML doc (.xml) files make up a large percentage of the total size and should not be part of the regular deployment package. But it should be possible to access them in case they are needed.

One possible approach: at the end of the TFS build process, move them to a separate artifact.

Showing the stack trace from a running Python application

What really helped me here is spiv's tip (which I would vote up and comment on if I had the reputation points) for getting a stack trace out of an unprepared Python process. Except it didn't work until I modified the gdbinit script. So:

  • download http://svn.python.org/projects/python/trunk/Misc/gdbinit and put it in ~/.gdbinit

  • edit it, changing PyEval_EvalFrame to PyEval_EvalFrameEx [edit: no longer needed; the linked file already has this change as of 2010-01-14]

  • Attach gdb: gdb -p PID

  • Get the python stack trace: pystack

What is a thread exit code?

There actually doesn't seem to be a lot of explanation on this subject apparently but the exit codes are supposed to be used to give an indication on how the thread exited, 0 tends to mean that it exited safely whilst anything else tends to mean it didn't exit as expected. But then this exit code can be set in code by yourself to completely overlook this.

The closest link I could find to be useful for more information is this

Quote from above link:

What ever the method of exiting, the integer that you return from your process or thread must be values from 0-255(8bits). A zero value indicates success, while a non zero value indicates failure. Although, you can attempt to return any integer value as an exit code, only the lowest byte of the integer is returned from your process or thread as part of an exit code. The higher order bytes are used by the operating system to convey special information about the process. The exit code is very useful in batch/shell programs which conditionally execute other programs depending on the success or failure of one.


From the Documentation for GetEXitCodeThread

Important The GetExitCodeThread function returns a valid error code defined by the application only after the thread terminates. Therefore, an application should not use STILL_ACTIVE (259) as an error code. If a thread returns STILL_ACTIVE (259) as an error code, applications that test for this value could interpret it to mean that the thread is still running and continue to test for the completion of the thread after the thread has terminated, which could put the application into an infinite loop.


My understanding of all this is that the exit code doesn't matter all that much if you are using threads within your own application for your own application. The exception to this is possibly if you are running a couple of threads at the same time that have a dependency on each other. If there is a requirement for an outside source to read this error code, then you can set it to let other applications know the status of your thread.

How do I view / replay a chrome network debugger har file saved with content?

Edit: Harhar is now open source. I have updated the URL below.

If you use an Avalanche load generator, you can use Harhar to replay a HAR file at very high load: https://acastaner.github.io/harhar/

This tool handles the "content" you use when you "Save as HAR with content."

How to debug on a real device (using Eclipse/ADT)

How to Debug Variables in Smarty like in PHP var_dump()

If you want something prettier I would advise

500 internal server error, how to debug

You can turn on your PHP errors with error_reporting:

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 'on');

Edit: It's possible that even after putting this, errors still don't show up. This can be caused if there is a fatal error in the script. From PHP Runtime Configuration:

Although display_errors may be set at runtime (with ini_set()), it won't have any affect if the script has fatal errors. This is because the desired runtime action does not get executed.

You should set display_errors = 1 in your php.ini file and restart the server.

Spring RestTemplate - how to enable full debugging/logging of requests/responses?

So many responses here require coding changes and customized classes and it really is not necessary. Gte a debugging proxy such as fiddler and set your java environment to use the proxy on the command line (-Dhttp.proxyHost and -Dhttp.proxyPort) then run fiddler and you can see the requests and responses in their entirety. Also comes with many ancillary advantages such as the ability to tinker with the results and responses before and after they are sent to run experiments before committing to modification of the server.

Last bit of an issue that can come up is if you must use HTTPS, you will need to export the SSL cert from fiddler and import it into the java keystore (cacerts) hint: default java keystore password is usually "changeit".

How to debug Ruby scripts

Use Pry (GitHub).

Install via:

$ gem install pry
$ pry

Then add:

require 'pry'; binding.pry

into your program.

As of pry 0.12.2 however, there are no navigation commands such as next, break, etc. Some other gems additionally provide this, see for example pry-byedebug.

What does status=canceled for a resource mean in Chrome Developer Tools?

In my case the code to show e-mail client window caused Chrome to stop loading images:

document.location.href = mailToLink;

moving it to $(window).load(function () {...}) instead of $(function () {...}) helped.

Maven build debug in Eclipse

probleme : unit test result are not the same runing with eclipse and maven due ti order of library used by eclipse and maven. In my case the test was success with maven but i want to debug my unit test using eclipse, so the most easy way to debug unit test class with eclipse and runing maven is :

1) mvn -Dtest=MySuperClassTest -Dmaven.surefire.debug test ==> it will listen to the 5005 port (default port)

2) Go to eclipse, open a debug configuration, add a new java remote application and change the port to 5005 and debug

3) of course you must add break point somewhere in the class that you want to debug

Python debugging tips

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pudb, a full-screen, console-based Python debugger.

Its goal is to provide all the niceties of modern GUI-based debuggers in a more lightweight and keyboard-friendly package. PuDB allows you to debug code right where you write and test it – in a terminal. If you've worked with the excellent (but nowadays ancient) DOS-based Turbo Pascal or C tools, PuDB's UI might look familiar.

pudb screenshot

Nice for debugging standalone scripts, just run

python -m pudb.run my-script.py

Step-by-step debugging with IPython

Developing New Code

Debugging inside IPython

  1. Use Jupyter/IPython cell execution to speed up experiment iterations
  2. Use %%debug for step through

Cell Example:

%%debug
...: for n in range(4):
...:    n>2

Debugging Existing Code

IPython inside debugging

  1. Debugging a broken unit test: pytest ... --pdbcls=IPython.terminal.debugger:TerminalPdb --pdb
  2. Debugging outside of test case: breakpoint(), python -m ipdb, etc.
  3. IPython.embed() for full IPython functionality where needed while in the debugger

Thoughts on Python

I agree with the OP that many things MATLAB does nicely Python still does not have and really should since just about everything in the language favors development speed over production speed. Maybe someday I will contribute more than trivial bug fixes to CPython.

How to quickly and conveniently disable all console.log statements in my code?

I developed a library for this usecase: https://github.com/sunnykgupta/jsLogger

Features:

  1. It safely overrides the console.log.
  2. Takes care if the console is not available (oh yes, you need to factor that too.)
  3. Stores all logs (even if they are suppressed) for later retrieval.
  4. Handles major console functions like log, warn, error, info.

Is open for modifications and will be updated whenever new suggestions come up.

How to display errors on laravel 4?

Maybe not on Laravel 4 this time, but on L5.2* I had similar issue:

I simply changed the ownership of the storage/logs directory to www-data with:

# chown -R www-data:www-data logs

PS: This is on Ubuntu 15 and with apache.

My logs directory now looks like:

drwxrwxr-x  2 www-data   www-data 4096 jaan  23 09:39 logs/

How can I inspect the file system of a failed `docker build`?

Everytime docker successfully executes a RUN command from a Dockerfile, a new layer in the image filesystem is committed. Conveniently you can use those layers ids as images to start a new container.

Take the following Dockerfile:

FROM busybox
RUN echo 'foo' > /tmp/foo.txt
RUN echo 'bar' >> /tmp/foo.txt

and build it:

$ docker build -t so-2622957 .
Sending build context to Docker daemon 47.62 kB
Step 1/3 : FROM busybox
 ---> 00f017a8c2a6
Step 2/3 : RUN echo 'foo' > /tmp/foo.txt
 ---> Running in 4dbd01ebf27f
 ---> 044e1532c690
Removing intermediate container 4dbd01ebf27f
Step 3/3 : RUN echo 'bar' >> /tmp/foo.txt
 ---> Running in 74d81cb9d2b1
 ---> 5bd8172529c1
Removing intermediate container 74d81cb9d2b1
Successfully built 5bd8172529c1

You can now start a new container from 00f017a8c2a6, 044e1532c690 and 5bd8172529c1:

$ docker run --rm 00f017a8c2a6 cat /tmp/foo.txt
cat: /tmp/foo.txt: No such file or directory

$ docker run --rm 044e1532c690 cat /tmp/foo.txt
foo

$ docker run --rm 5bd8172529c1 cat /tmp/foo.txt
foo
bar

of course you might want to start a shell to explore the filesystem and try out commands:

$ docker run --rm -it 044e1532c690 sh      
/ # ls -l /tmp
total 4
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root             4 Mar  9 19:09 foo.txt
/ # cat /tmp/foo.txt 
foo

When one of the Dockerfile command fails, what you need to do is to look for the id of the preceding layer and run a shell in a container created from that id:

docker run --rm -it <id_last_working_layer> bash -il

Once in the container:

  • try the command that failed, and reproduce the issue
  • then fix the command and test it
  • finally update your Dockerfile with the fixed command

If you really need to experiment in the actual layer that failed instead of working from the last working layer, see Drew's answer.

How do I run a Python program?

if you dont want call filename.py you can add .PY to the PATHEXT, that way you will just call filename

Which is the best Linux C/C++ debugger (or front-end to gdb) to help teaching programming?

Perhaps it is indirect to gdb (because it's an IDE), but my recommendations would be KDevelop. Being quite spoiled with Visual Studio's debugger (professionally at work for many years), I've so far felt the most comfortable debugging in KDevelop (as hobby at home, because I could not afford Visual Studio for personal use - until Express Edition came out). It does "look something similar to" Visual Studio compared to other IDE's I've experimented with (including Eclipse CDT) when it comes to debugging step-through, step-in, etc (placing break points is a bit awkward because I don't like to use mouse too much when coding, but it's not difficult).

Error: Cannot access file bin/Debug/... because it is being used by another process

i found Cody Gray 's answer partially helpful, in that it did direct me to the real source of my problem which some of you may also be experiencing: visual studio's test execution stays open by default and maintains a lock on the files.

To stop that predominantly useless behaviour, follow the instructions from https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/771994/vstest-executionengine-x86-exe-32-bit-not-closing-vs2012-11-0-50727-1-rtmrel

Uncheck Test menu -> Test Settings -> "Keep Test Execution Engine Running"

Increment variable value by 1 ( shell programming)

you can use bc as it can also do floats

var=$(echo "1+2"|bc)

Is it possible to modify a string of char in C?

The memory for a & b is not allocated by you. The compiler is free to choose a read-only memory location to store the characters. So if you try to change it may result in seg fault. So I suggest you to create a character array yourself. Something like: char a[10]; strcpy(a, "Hello");

Visual studio equivalent of java System.out

Try: Console.WriteLine (type out for a Visual Studio snippet)

Console.WriteLine(stuff);

Another way is to use System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine:

System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(stuff);

Debug.WriteLine may suit better for Output window in IDE because it will be rendered for both Console and Windows applications. Whereas Console.WriteLine won't be rendered in Output window but only in the Console itself in case of Console Application type.

Another difference is that Debug.WriteLine will not print anything in Release configuration.

Unable to simultaneously satisfy constraints, will attempt to recover by breaking constraint

The problem you're having is the NSAutoresizingMaskLayoutConstraints should not be in there. This is the old system of springs and struts. To get rid of it, run this method on each view that you're wanting to constrain:

[view setTranslatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints:NO];

"Debug only" code that should run only when "turned on"

You could try this if you only need the code to run when you have a debugger attached to the process.

How to step through Python code to help debug issues?

If you want an IDE with integrated debugger, try PyScripter.

What do I do when my program crashes with exception 0xc0000005 at address 0?

Exception code 0xc0000005 is an Access Violation. An AV at fault offset 0x00000000 means that something in your service's code is accessing a nil pointer. You will just have to debug the service while it is running to find out what it is accessing. If you cannot run it inside a debugger, then at least install a third-party exception logger framework, such as EurekaLog or MadExcept, to find out what your service was doing at the time of the AV.

How to have PHP display errors? (I've added ini_set and error_reporting, but just gives 500 on errors)

Syntax errors is not checked easily in external servers, just runtime errors.

What I do? Just like you, I use

ini_set('display_errors', 'On');
error_reporting(E_ALL);

However, before run I check syntax errors in a PHP file using an online PHP syntax checker.

The best, IMHO is PHP Code Checker

I copy all the source code, paste inside the main box and click the Analyze button.

It is not the most practical method, but the 2 procedures are complementary and it solves the problem completely

How to debug a GLSL shader?

If you want to visualize the variations of a value across the screen, you can use a heatmap function similar to this (I wrote it in hlsl, but it is easy to adapt to glsl):

float4 HeatMapColor(float value, float minValue, float maxValue)
{
    #define HEATMAP_COLORS_COUNT 6
    float4 colors[HEATMAP_COLORS_COUNT] =
    {
        float4(0.32, 0.00, 0.32, 1.00),
        float4(0.00, 0.00, 1.00, 1.00),
        float4(0.00, 1.00, 0.00, 1.00),
        float4(1.00, 1.00, 0.00, 1.00),
        float4(1.00, 0.60, 0.00, 1.00),
        float4(1.00, 0.00, 0.00, 1.00),
    };
    float ratio=(HEATMAP_COLORS_COUNT-1.0)*saturate((value-minValue)/(maxValue-minValue));
    float indexMin=floor(ratio);
    float indexMax=min(indexMin+1,HEATMAP_COLORS_COUNT-1);
    return lerp(colors[indexMin], colors[indexMax], ratio-indexMin);
}

Then in your pixel shader you just output something like:

return HeatMapColor(myValue, 0.00, 50.00);

And can get an idea of how it varies across your pixels:

enter image description here

Of course you can use any set of colors you like.

How can I connect to Android with ADB over TCP?

adb can communicate with adb server over tcp socket. you can verify this by telnet.

$ telnet 127.0.0.1 5037
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
000chost:version
OKAY00040020

generally, command has the format %04x%s with <message.length><msg> the following is the ruby command witch sends adb command cmd against tcp socket socket

def send_to_adb(socket, cmd)
  socket.printf("%04x%s", cmd.length, cmd)
end

the first example sends the command host:version which length is 12(000c in hex). you can enjoy more exciting command like framebuffer: which takes screenshot from framebuffer as you can guess from its name.

Editing in the Chrome debugger

Variables not showing while debugging in Eclipse

For me the solution of the problem was to configure xdebug properly. I added in the php.ini this lines of code :

zend_extension = "C:\xampp\php\ext\php_xdebug.dll"

xdebug.remote_enable = 1

xdebug.show_local_vars = 1

The important part I was missing : xdebug.remote_enable = 1

Chrome javascript debugger breakpoints don't do anything?

I'm not sure why your breakpoints aren't hitting, but one sure-fire way to step into your code is to type

debugger;

where you want the code to halt, and then run again with the chrome developer tools window open.


Just one small thing to be aware of, be sure to clean up after you done and remove the debugger lines. If you ever run JavaScript files through YUI compressor, the existence of a debugger; line will cause it to error out.

Visual Studio: How to break on handled exceptions?

With a solution open, go to the Debug - Exceptions (Ctrl+D,E) menu option. From there you can choose to break on Thrown or User-unhandled exceptions.

IIS Express gives Access Denied error when debugging ASP.NET MVC

in the applicationhost.config file located at C:\Users[username]\Documents\IISExpress\config.

filename and line number of Python script

Whether you use currentframe().f_back depends on whether you are using a function or not.

Calling inspect directly:

from inspect import currentframe, getframeinfo

cf = currentframe()
filename = getframeinfo(cf).filename

print "This is line 5, python says line ", cf.f_lineno 
print "The filename is ", filename

Calling a function that does it for you:

from inspect import currentframe

def get_linenumber():
    cf = currentframe()
    return cf.f_back.f_lineno

print "This is line 7, python says line ", get_linenumber()

What is the difference between Step Into and Step Over in a debugger

Consider the following code with your current instruction pointer (the line that will be executed next, indicated by ->) at the f(x) line in g(), having been called by the g(2) line in main():

public class testprog {
    static void f (int x) {
        System.out.println ("num is " + (x+0)); // <- STEP INTO
    }

    static void g (int x) {
->      f(x); //
        f(1); // <----------------------------------- STEP OVER
    }

    public static void main (String args[]) {
        g(2);
        g(3); // <----------------------------------- STEP OUT OF
    }
}

If you were to step into at that point, you will move to the println() line in f(), stepping into the function call.

If you were to step over at that point, you will move to the f(1) line in g(), stepping over the function call.

Another useful feature of debuggers is the step out of or step return. In that case, a step return will basically run you through the current function until you go back up one level. In other words, it will step through f(x) and f(1), then back out to the calling function to end up at g(3) in main().

Logcat not displaying my log calls

Easiest way:

Check in your logcat window - TOP RIGHT corner PAUSE button || (Pause receiving new logcat messages)

Few clicks + eventually restart eclipse (usually works in my case)

Javascript Debugging line by line using Google Chrome

...How can I step through my javascript code line by line using Google Chromes developer tools without it going into javascript libraries?...


For the record: At this time (Feb/2015) both Google Chrome and Firefox have exactly what you (and I) need to avoid going inside libraries and scripts, and go beyond the code that we are interested, It's called Black Boxing:

enter image description here

When you blackbox a source file, the debugger will not jump into that file when stepping through code you're debugging.

How to use conditional breakpoint in Eclipse?

From Eclipsepedia on how to set a conditional breakpoint:

First, set a breakpoint at a given location. Then, use the context menu on the breakpoint in the left editor margin or in the Breakpoints view in the Debug perspective, and select the breakpoint’s properties. In the dialog box, check Enable Condition, and enter an arbitrary Java condition, such as list.size()==0. Now, each time the breakpoint is reached, the expression is evaluated in the context of the breakpoint execution, and the breakpoint is either ignored or honored, depending on the outcome of the expression.

Conditions can also be expressed in terms of other breakpoint attributes, such as hit count.

Remote debugging a Java application

I'd like to emphasize that order of arguments is important.

For me java -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=8000 -jar app.jar command opens debugger port,

but java -jar app.jar -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=8000 command doesn't.

How to get name of calling function/method in PHP?

I just wrote a version of this called "get_caller", I hope it helps. Mine is pretty lazy. You can just run get_caller() from a function, you don't have to specify it like this:

get_caller(__FUNCTION__);

Here's the script in full with a quirky test case:

<?php

/* This function will return the name string of the function that called $function. To return the
    caller of your function, either call get_caller(), or get_caller(__FUNCTION__).
*/
function get_caller($function = NULL, $use_stack = NULL) {
    if ( is_array($use_stack) ) {
        // If a function stack has been provided, used that.
        $stack = $use_stack;
    } else {
        // Otherwise create a fresh one.
        $stack = debug_backtrace();
        echo "\nPrintout of Function Stack: \n\n";
        print_r($stack);
        echo "\n";
    }

    if ($function == NULL) {
        // We need $function to be a function name to retrieve its caller. If it is omitted, then
        // we need to first find what function called get_caller(), and substitute that as the
        // default $function. Remember that invoking get_caller() recursively will add another
        // instance of it to the function stack, so tell get_caller() to use the current stack.
        $function = get_caller(__FUNCTION__, $stack);
    }

    if ( is_string($function) && $function != "" ) {
        // If we are given a function name as a string, go through the function stack and find
        // it's caller.
        for ($i = 0; $i < count($stack); $i++) {
            $curr_function = $stack[$i];
            // Make sure that a caller exists, a function being called within the main script
            // won't have a caller.
            if ( $curr_function["function"] == $function && ($i + 1) < count($stack) ) {
                return $stack[$i + 1]["function"];
            }
        }
    }

    // At this stage, no caller has been found, bummer.
    return "";
}

// TEST CASE

function woman() {
    $caller = get_caller(); // No need for get_caller(__FUNCTION__) here
    if ($caller != "") {
        echo $caller , "() called " , __FUNCTION__ , "(). No surprises there.\n";
    } else {
        echo "no-one called ", __FUNCTION__, "()\n";
    }
}

function man() {
    // Call the woman.
    woman();
}

// Don't keep him waiting
man();

// Try this to see what happens when there is no caller (function called from main script)
//woman();

?>

man() calls woman(), who calls get_caller(). get_caller() doesn't know who called it yet, because the woman() was cautious and didn't tell it, so it recurses to find out. Then it returns who called woman(). And the printout in source-code mode in a browser shows the function stack:

Printout of Function Stack:

man() called woman(). No surprises there.

#if DEBUG vs. Conditional("DEBUG")

Well, it's worth noting that they don't mean the same thing at all.

If the DEBUG symbol isn't defined, then in the first case the SetPrivateValue itself won't be called... whereas in the second case it will exist, but any callers who are compiled without the DEBUG symbol will have those calls omitted.

If the code and all its callers are in the same assembly this difference is less important - but it means that in the first case you also need to have #if DEBUG around the calling code as well.

Personally I'd recommend the second approach - but you do need to keep the difference between them clear in your head.

Debugging iframes with Chrome developer tools

Currently evaluation in the console is performed in the context of the main frame in the page and it adheres to the same cross-origin policy as the main frame itself. This means that you cannot access elements in the iframe unless the main frame can. You can still set breakpoints in and debug your code using Scripts panel though.

How to debug external class library projects in visual studio?

Try disabling Just My Code (JMC).

  • Tools -> Options -> Debugger
  • Uncheck "Enable Just my Code"

By default the debugger tries to restrict the view of the world to code that is only contained within your solution. This is really heplful at times but when you want to debug code which is not in your solution (as is your situation) you need to disable JMC in order to see it. Otherwise the code will be treated as external and largely hidden from your view.

EDIT

When you're broken in your code try the following.

  • Debug -> Windows -> Modules
  • Find the DLL for the project you are interested in
  • Right Click -> Load Symbols -> Select the Path to the .PDB for your other project

Unfortunately MyApp has stopped. How can I solve this?

This popup shows only when you get a fatal exception in your code which stops the execution of the app. It could be any exception NullPointerException, OutOfMemoryException etc.

Best way to check is through Logcat if you are still developing the app in Android studio which is quick way to read stack trace and check the cause of the app.

If your app is already live, then you can not use logcat. So, for that you can implement Crashlytics to provide you bug reports of any exception that occurs.

How do you debug PHP scripts?

PHP DBG

The Interactive Stepthrough PHP Debugger implemented as a SAPI module which can give give you complete control over the environment without impacting the functionality or performance of your code.

Features includes:

  • Stepthrough Debugging
  • Flexible Breakpoints (Class Method, Function, File:Line, Address, Opcode)
  • Easy Access to PHP with built-in eval()
  • Easy Access to Currently Executing Code
  • Userland API
  • SAPI Agnostic - Easily Integrated

PHP Error - Better error reporting for PHP

This is very easy to use library (actually a file) to debug your PHP scripts.

The only thing that you need to do is to include one file as below (at the beginning on your code):

require('php_error.php');
\php_error\reportErrors();

Then all errors will give you info such as backtrace, code context, function arguments, server variables, etc. For example:

PHP Error | Improve Error Reporting for PHP - screenshot of backtrace PHP Error | Improve Error Reporting for PHP - screenshot of backtrace PHP Error | Improve Error Reporting for PHP - screenshot of backtrace

Features include:

  • trivial to use, it's just one file
  • errors displayed in the browser for normal and ajaxy requests
  • AJAX requests are paused, allowing you to automatically re-run them
  • makes errors as strict as possible (encourages code quality, and tends to improve performance)
  • code snippets across the whole stack trace
  • provides more information (such as full function signatures)
  • fixes some error messages which are just plain wrong
  • syntax highlighting
  • looks pretty!
  • customization
  • manually turn it on and off
  • run specific sections without error reporting
  • ignore files allowing you to avoid highlighting code in your stack trace
  • application files; these are prioritized when an error strikes!

DTrace

If your system supports DTrace dynamic tracing (installed by default on OS X) and your PHP is compiled with the DTrace probes enabled (--enable-dtrace) which should be by default, this command can help you to debug PHP script with no time:

sudo dtrace -qn 'php*:::function-entry { printf("%Y: PHP function-entry:\t%s%s%s() in %s:%d\n", walltimestamp, copyinstr(arg3), copyinstr(arg4), copyinstr(arg0), basename(copyinstr(arg1)), (int)arg2); }'

So given the following alias has been added into your rc files (e.g. ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_aliases):

alias trace-php='sudo dtrace -qn "php*:::function-entry { printf(\"%Y: PHP function-entry:\t%s%s%s() in %s:%d\n\", walltimestamp, copyinstr(arg3), copyinstr(arg4), copyinstr(arg0), basename(copyinstr(arg1)), (int)arg2); }"'

you may trace your script with easy to remember alias: trace-php.

Here is more advanced dtrace script, just save it into dtruss-php.d, make it executable (chmod +x dtruss-php.d) and run:

#!/usr/sbin/dtrace -Zs
# See: https://github.com/kenorb/dtruss-lamp/blob/master/dtruss-php.d

#pragma D option quiet

php*:::compile-file-entry
{
    printf("%Y: PHP compile-file-entry:\t%s (%s)\n", walltimestamp, basename(copyinstr(arg0)), copyinstr(arg1));
}

php*:::compile-file-return
{
    printf("%Y: PHP compile-file-return:\t%s (%s)\n", walltimestamp, basename(copyinstr(arg0)), basename(copyinstr(arg1)));
}

php*:::error
{
    printf("%Y: PHP error message:\t%s in %s:%d\n", walltimestamp, copyinstr(arg0), basename(copyinstr(arg1)), (int)arg2);
}

php*:::exception-caught
{
    printf("%Y: PHP exception-caught:\t%s\n", walltimestamp, copyinstr(arg0));
}

php*:::exception-thrown
{
    printf("%Y: PHP exception-thrown:\t%s\n", walltimestamp, copyinstr(arg0));
}

php*:::execute-entry
{
    printf("%Y: PHP execute-entry:\t%s:%d\n", walltimestamp, basename(copyinstr(arg0)), (int)arg1);
}

php*:::execute-return
{
    printf("%Y: PHP execute-return:\t%s:%d\n", walltimestamp, basename(copyinstr(arg0)), (int)arg1);
}

php*:::function-entry
{
    printf("%Y: PHP function-entry:\t%s%s%s() in %s:%d\n", walltimestamp, copyinstr(arg3), copyinstr(arg4), copyinstr(arg0), basename(copyinstr(arg1)), (int)arg2);
}

php*:::function-return
{
    printf("%Y: PHP function-return:\t%s%s%s() in %s:%d\n", walltimestamp, copyinstr(arg3), copyinstr(arg4), copyinstr(arg0), basename(copyinstr(arg1)), (int)arg2);
}

php*:::request-shutdown
{
    printf("%Y: PHP request-shutdown:\t%s at %s via %s\n", walltimestamp, basename(copyinstr(arg0)), copyinstr(arg1), copyinstr(arg2));
}

php*:::request-startup
{
    printf("%Y, PHP request-startup:\t%s at %s via %s\n", walltimestamp, basename(copyinstr(arg0)), copyinstr(arg1), copyinstr(arg2));
}

Here is simple usage:

  1. Run: sudo dtruss-php.d.
  2. On another terminal run: php -r "phpinfo();".

To test that, you can go to any docroot with index.php and run PHP builtin server by:

php -S localhost:8080

After that you can access the site at http://localhost:8080/ (or choose whatever port is convenient for you). From there access some pages to see the trace output.

Note: Dtrace is available on OS X by default, on Linux you probably need dtrace4linux or check for some other alternatives.

See: Using PHP and DTrace at php.net


SystemTap

Alternatively check for SystemTap tracing by installing SystemTap SDT development package (e.g. yum install systemtap-sdt-devel).

Here is example script (all_probes.stp) for tracing all core PHP static probe points throughout the duration of a running PHP script with SystemTap:

probe process("sapi/cli/php").provider("php").mark("compile__file__entry") {
    printf("Probe compile__file__entry\n");
    printf("  compile_file %s\n", user_string($arg1));
    printf("  compile_file_translated %s\n", user_string($arg2));
}
probe process("sapi/cli/php").provider("php").mark("compile__file__return") {
    printf("Probe compile__file__return\n");
    printf("  compile_file %s\n", user_string($arg1));
    printf("  compile_file_translated %s\n", user_string($arg2));
}
probe process("sapi/cli/php").provider("php").mark("error") {
    printf("Probe error\n");
    printf("  errormsg %s\n", user_string($arg1));
    printf("  request_file %s\n", user_string($arg2));
    printf("  lineno %d\n", $arg3);
}
probe process("sapi/cli/php").provider("php").mark("exception__caught") {
    printf("Probe exception__caught\n");
    printf("  classname %s\n", user_string($arg1));
}
probe process("sapi/cli/php").provider("php").mark("exception__thrown") {
    printf("Probe exception__thrown\n");
    printf("  classname %s\n", user_string($arg1));
}
probe process("sapi/cli/php").provider("php").mark("execute__entry") {
    printf("Probe execute__entry\n");

    printf("Probe function__entry\n");
    printf("  function_name %s\n", user_string($arg1));
    printf("  request_file %s\n", user_string($arg2));
    printf("  lineno %d\n", $arg3);
    printf("  classname %s\n", user_string($arg4));
    printf("  scope %s\n", user_string($arg5));
}
probe process("sapi/cli/php").provider("php").mark("function__return") {
    printf("Probe function__return: %s\n", user_string($arg1));
    printf(" function_name %s\n", user_string($arg1));
    printf("  request_file %s\n", user_string($arg2));
    printf("  lineno %d\n", $arg3);
    printf("  classname %s\n", user_string($arg4));
    printf("  scope %s\n", user_string($arg5));
}
probe process("sapi/cli/php").provider("php").mark("request__shutdown") {
    printf("Probe request__shutdown\n");
    printf("  file %s\n", user_string($arg1));
    printf("  request_uri %s\n", user_string($arg2));
    printf("  request_method %s\n", user_string($arg3));
}
probe process("sapi/cli/php").provider("php").mark("request__startup") {

How to terminate script execution when debugging in Google Chrome?

Refering to the answer given by @scottndecker to the following question, chrome now provides a 'disable JavaScript' option under Developer Tools:

  • Vertical ... in upper right
  • Settings
  • And under 'Preferences' go to the 'Debugger' section at the very bottom and select 'Disable JavaScript'

Good thing is you can stop and rerun again just by checking/unchecking it.

JavaScript seconds to time string with format hh:mm:ss

I'd upvote artem's answer, but I am a new poster. I did expand on his solution, though not what the OP asked for as follows

    t=(new Date()).toString().split(" ");
    timestring = (t[2]+t[1]+' <b>'+t[4]+'</b> '+t[6][1]+t[7][0]+t[8][0]);

To get

04Oct 16:31:28 PDT

This works for me...

But if you are starting with just a time quantity, I use two functions; one to format and pad, and one to calculate:

function sec2hms(timect){

  if(timect=== undefined||timect==0||timect === null){return ''};
  //timect is seconds, NOT milliseconds
  var se=timect % 60; //the remainder after div by 60
  timect = Math.floor(timect/60);
  var mi=timect % 60; //the remainder after div by 60
  timect = Math.floor(timect/60);
  var hr = timect % 24; //the remainder after div by 24
  var dy = Math.floor(timect/24);
  return padify (se, mi, hr, dy);
}

function padify (se, mi, hr, dy){
  hr = hr<10?"0"+hr:hr;
  mi = mi<10?"0"+mi:mi;
  se = se<10?"0"+se:se;
  dy = dy>0?dy+"d ":"";
  return dy+hr+":"+mi+":"+se;
}

Android: ScrollView vs NestedScrollView

NestedScrollView is just like ScrollView, but in NestedScrollView we can put other scrolling views as child of it, e.g. RecyclerView.

But if we put RecyclerView inside NestedScrollView, RecyclerView's smooth scrolling is disturbed. So to bring back smooth scrolling there's trick:

ViewCompat.setNestedScrollingEnabled(recyclerView, false);

put above line after setting adapter for recyclerView.

Check if a JavaScript string is a URL

Mathias Bynens has compiled a list of well-known URL regexes with test URLs. There is little reason to write a new regular expression; just pick an existing one that suits you best.

But the comparison table for those regexes also shows that it is next to impossible to do URL validation with a single regular expression. All of the regexes in Bynens' list produce false positives and false negatives.

I suggest that you use an existing URL parser (for example new URL('http://www.example.com/') in JavaScript) and then apply the checks you want to perform against the parsed and normalized form of the URL resp. its components. Using the JavaScript URL interface has the additional benefit that it will only accept such URLs that are really accepted by the browser.

You should also keep in mind that technically incorrect URLs may still work. For example http://w_w_w.example.com/, http://www..example.com/, http://123.example.com/ all have an invalid hostname part but every browser I know will try to open them without complaints, and when you specify IP addresses for those invalid names in /etc/hosts/ such URLs will even work but only on your computer.

The question is, therefore, not so much whether a URL is valid, but rather which URLs work and should be allowed in a particular context.

If you want to do URL validation there are a lot of details and edge cases that are easy to overlook:

  • URLs may contain credentials as in http://user:[email protected]/.
  • Port numbers must be in the range of 0-65535, but you may still want to exclude the wildcard port 0.
  • Port numbers may have leading zeros as in http://www.example.com:000080/.
  • IPv4 addresses are by no means restricted to 4 decimal integers in the range of 0-255. You can use one to four integers, and they can be decimal, octal or hexadecimal. The URLs https://010.010.000010.010/, https://0x8.0x8.0x0008.0x8/, https://8.8.2056/, https://8.526344/, https://134744072/ are all valid and just creative ways of writing https://8.8.8.8/.
  • Allowing loopback addresses (http://127.0.0.1/), private IP addresses (http://192.168.1.1), link-local addresses (http://169.254.100.200) and so on may have an impact on security or privacy. If, for instance, you allow them as the address of user avatars in a forum, you cause the users' browsers to send unsolicited network requests in their local network and in the internet of things such requests may cause funny and not so funny things to happen in your home.
  • For the same reasons, you may want to discard links to not fully qualified hostnames, in other words hostnames without a dot.
  • But hostnames may always have a trailing dot (like in http://www.stackoverflow.com.).
  • The hostname portion of a link may contain angle brackets for IPv6 addresses as in http://[::1].
  • IPv6 addresses also have ranges for private networks or link-local addresses etc.
  • If you block certain IPv4 addresses, keep in mind that for example https://127.0.0.1 and https://[::ffff:127.0.0.1] point to the same resource (if the loopback device of your machine is IPv6 ready).
  • The hostname portion of URLs may now contain Unicode, so that the character range [-0-9a-zA-z] is definitely no longer sufficient.
  • Many registries for top-level domains define specific restrictions, for example on the allowed set of Unicode characters. Or they subdivide their namespace (like co.uk and many others).
  • Top-level domains must not contain decimal digits, and the hyphen is not allowed unless for the IDN A-label prefix "xn--".
  • Unicode top-level domains (and their punycode encoding with "xn--") must still contain only letters but who wants to check that in a regex?

Which of these limitations and rules apply is a question of project requirements and taste.

I have recently written a URL validator for a web app that is suitable for user-supplied URLs in forums, social networks, or the like. Feel free to use it as a base for your own one:

I have also written a blog post The Gory Details of URL Validation with more in-depth information.

Why does Math.Round(2.5) return 2 instead of 3?

The default MidpointRounding.ToEven, or Bankers' rounding (2.5 become 2, 4.5 becomes 4 and so on) has stung me before with writing reports for accounting, so I'll write a few words of what I found out, previously and from looking into it for this post.

Who are these bankers that are rounding down on even numbers (British bankers perhaps!)?

From wikipedia

The origin of the term bankers' rounding remains more obscure. If this rounding method was ever a standard in banking, the evidence has proved extremely difficult to find. To the contrary, section 2 of the European Commission report The Introduction of the Euro and the Rounding of Currency Amounts suggests that there had previously been no standard approach to rounding in banking; and it specifies that "half-way" amounts should be rounded up.

It seems a very strange way of rounding particularly for banking, unless of course banks use to receive lots of deposits of even amounts. Deposit £2.4m, but we'll call it £2m sir.

The IEEE Standard 754 dates back to 1985 and gives both ways of rounding, but with banker's as the recommended by the standard. This wikipedia article has a long list of how languages implement rounding (correct me if any of the below are wrong) and most don't use Bankers' but the rounding you're taught at school:

  • C/C++ round() from math.h rounds away from zero (not banker's rounding)
  • Java Math.Round rounds away from zero (it floors the result, adds 0.5, casts to an integer). There's an alternative in BigDecimal
  • Perl uses a similar way to C
  • Javascript is the same as Java's Math.Round.

Spring Boot - inject map from application.yml

I run into the same problem today, but unfortunately Andy's solution didn't work for me. In Spring Boot 1.2.1.RELEASE it's even easier, but you have to be aware of a few things.

Here is the interesting part from my application.yml:

oauth:
  providers:
    google:
     api: org.scribe.builder.api.Google2Api
     key: api_key
     secret: api_secret
     callback: http://callback.your.host/oauth/google

providers map contains only one map entry, my goal is to provide dynamic configuration for other OAuth providers. I want to inject this map into a service that will initialize services based on the configuration provided in this yaml file. My initial implementation was:

@Service
@ConfigurationProperties(prefix = 'oauth')
class OAuth2ProvidersService implements InitializingBean {

    private Map<String, Map<String, String>> providers = [:]

    @Override
    void afterPropertiesSet() throws Exception {
       initialize()
    }

    private void initialize() {
       //....
    }
}

After starting the application, providers map in OAuth2ProvidersService was not initialized. I tried the solution suggested by Andy, but it didn't work as well. I use Groovy in that application, so I decided to remove private and let Groovy generates getter and setter. So my code looked like this:

@Service
@ConfigurationProperties(prefix = 'oauth')
class OAuth2ProvidersService implements InitializingBean {

    Map<String, Map<String, String>> providers = [:]

    @Override
    void afterPropertiesSet() throws Exception {
       initialize()
    }

    private void initialize() {
       //....
    }
}

After that small change everything worked.

Although there is one thing that might be worth mentioning. After I make it working I decided to make this field private and provide setter with straight argument type in the setter method. Unfortunately it wont work that. It causes org.springframework.beans.NotWritablePropertyException with message:

Invalid property 'providers[google]' of bean class [com.zinvoice.user.service.OAuth2ProvidersService]: Cannot access indexed value in property referenced in indexed property path 'providers[google]'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.NotReadablePropertyException: Invalid property 'providers[google]' of bean class [com.zinvoice.user.service.OAuth2ProvidersService]: Bean property 'providers[google]' is not readable or has an invalid getter method: Does the return type of the getter match the parameter type of the setter?

Keep it in mind if you're using Groovy in your Spring Boot application.

Swift Error: Editor placeholder in source file

Sometimes, XCode does not forget the line which had an "Editor Placeholder" even if you have replaced it with a value. Cut the portion of the code where XCode is complaining and paste the code back to the same place to make the error message go away. This worked for me.

How to set ID using javascript?

Do you mean like this?

var hello1 = document.getElementById('hello1');
hello1.id = btoa(hello1.id);

To further the example, say you wanted to get all elements with the class 'abc'. We can use querySelectorAll() to accomplish this:

HTML

<div class="abc"></div>
<div class="abc"></div>

JS

var abcElements = document.querySelectorAll('.abc');

// Set their ids
for (var i = 0; i < abcElements.length; i++)
    abcElements[i].id = 'abc-' + i;

This will assign the ID 'abc-<index number>' to each element. So it would come out like this:

<div class="abc" id="abc-0"></div>
<div class="abc" id="abc-1"></div>

To create an element and assign an id we can use document.createElement() and then appendChild().

var div = document.createElement('div');
div.id = 'hello1';

var body = document.querySelector('body');
body.appendChild(div);

Update

You can set the id on your element like this if your script is in your HTML file.

<input id="{{str(product["avt"]["fto"])}}" >
<span>New price :</span>
<span class="assign-me">

<script type="text/javascript">
    var s = document.getElementsByClassName('assign-me')[0];
    s.id = btoa({{str(produit["avt"]["fto"])}});
</script>

Your requirements still aren't 100% clear though.

What techniques can be used to speed up C++ compilation times?

Language techniques

Pimpl Idiom

Take a look at the Pimpl idiom here, and here, also known as an opaque pointer or handle classes. Not only does it speed up compilation, it also increases exception safety when combined with a non-throwing swap function. The Pimpl idiom lets you reduce the dependencies between headers and reduces the amount of recompilation that needs to be done.

Forward Declarations

Wherever possible, use forward declarations. If the compiler only needs to know that SomeIdentifier is a struct or a pointer or whatever, don't include the entire definition, forcing the compiler to do more work than it needs to. This can have a cascading effect, making this way slower than they need to be.

The I/O streams are particularly known for slowing down builds. If you need them in a header file, try #including <iosfwd> instead of <iostream> and #include the <iostream> header in the implementation file only. The <iosfwd> header holds forward declarations only. Unfortunately the other standard headers don't have a respective declarations header.

Prefer pass-by-reference to pass-by-value in function signatures. This will eliminate the need to #include the respective type definitions in the header file and you will only need to forward-declare the type. Of course, prefer const references to non-const references to avoid obscure bugs, but this is an issue for another question.

Guard Conditions

Use guard conditions to keep header files from being included more than once in a single translation unit.

#pragma once
#ifndef filename_h
#define filename_h

// Header declarations / definitions

#endif

By using both the pragma and the ifndef, you get the portability of the plain macro solution, as well as the compilation speed optimization that some compilers can do in the presence of the pragma once directive.

Reduce interdependency

The more modular and less interdependent your code design is in general, the less often you will have to recompile everything. You can also end up reducing the amount of work the compiler has to do on any individual block at the same time, by virtue of the fact that it has less to keep track of.

Compiler options

Precompiled Headers

These are used to compile a common section of included headers once for many translation units. The compiler compiles it once, and saves its internal state. That state can then be loaded quickly to get a head start in compiling another file with that same set of headers.

Be careful that you only include rarely changed stuff in the precompiled headers, or you could end up doing full rebuilds more often than necessary. This is a good place for STL headers and other library include files.

ccache is another utility that takes advantage of caching techniques to speed things up.

Use Parallelism

Many compilers / IDEs support using multiple cores/CPUs to do compilation simultaneously. In GNU Make (usually used with GCC), use the -j [N] option. In Visual Studio, there's an option under preferences to allow it to build multiple projects in parallel. You can also use the /MP option for file-level paralellism, instead of just project-level paralellism.

Other parallel utilities:

Use a Lower Optimization Level

The more the compiler tries to optimize, the harder it has to work.

Shared Libraries

Moving your less frequently modified code into libraries can reduce compile time. By using shared libraries (.so or .dll), you can reduce linking time as well.

Get a Faster Computer

More RAM, faster hard drives (including SSDs), and more CPUs/cores will all make a difference in compilation speed.

How do I remove a property from a JavaScript object?

@johnstock, we can also use JavaScript's prototyping concept to add method to objects to delete any passed key available in calling object.

Above answers are appreciated.

_x000D_
_x000D_
var myObject = {
  "ircEvent": "PRIVMSG",
  "method": "newURI",
  "regex": "^http://.*"
};

// 1st and direct way 
delete myObject.regex; // delete myObject["regex"]
console.log(myObject); // { ircEvent: 'PRIVMSG', method: 'newURI' }

// 2 way -  by using the concept of JavaScript's prototyping concept
Object.prototype.removeFromObjectByKey = function(key) {
  // If key exists, remove it and return true
  if (this[key] !== undefined) {
    delete this[key]
    return true;
  }
  // Else return false
  return false;
}

var isRemoved = myObject.removeFromObjectByKey('method')
console.log(myObject) // { ircEvent: 'PRIVMSG' }

// More examples
var obj = {
  a: 45,
  b: 56,
  c: 67
}
console.log(obj) // { a: 45, b: 56, c: 67 }

// Remove key 'a' from obj
isRemoved = obj.removeFromObjectByKey('a')
console.log(isRemoved); //true
console.log(obj); // { b: 56, c: 67 }

// Remove key 'd' from obj which doesn't exist
var isRemoved = obj.removeFromObjectByKey('d')
console.log(isRemoved); // false
console.log(obj); // { b: 56, c: 67 }

        data[,i]=factor(data[,i])
    }
}

jQuery: Return data after ajax call success

Idk if you guys solved it but I recommend another way to do it, and it works :)

    ServiceUtil = ig.Class.extend({
        base_url : 'someurl',

        sendRequest: function(request)
        {
            var url = this.base_url + request;
            var requestVar = new XMLHttpRequest();
            dataGet = false;

            $.ajax({
                url: url,
                async: false,
                type: "get",
                success: function(data){
                    ServiceUtil.objDataReturned = data;
                }
            });
            return ServiceUtil.objDataReturned;                
        }
    })

So the main idea here is that, by adding async: false, then you make everything waits until the data is retrieved. Then you assign it to a static variable of the class, and everything magically works :)

How to overlay images

I just got done doing this exact thing in a project. The HTML side looked a bit like this:

<a href="[fullsize]" class="gallerypic" title="">
  <img src="[thumbnail pic]" height="90" width="140" alt="[Gallery Photo]" class="pic" />
  <span class="zoom-icon">
      <img src="/images/misc/zoom.gif" width="32" height="32" alt="Zoom">
  </span>
</a>

Then using CSS:

a.gallerypic{
  width:140px;
  text-decoration:none;
  position:relative;
  display:block;
  border:1px solid #666;
  padding:3px;
  margin-right:5px;
  float:left;
}

a.gallerypic span.zoom-icon{
  visibility:hidden;
  position:absolute;
  left:40%;
  top:35%;
  filter:alpha(opacity=50);
  -moz-opacity:0.5;
  -khtml-opacity: 0.5;
  opacity: 0.5;
}

a.gallerypic:hover span.zoom-icon{
  visibility:visible;
}

I left a lot of the sample in there on the CSS so you can see how I decided to do the style. Note I lowered the opacity so you could see through the magnifying glass.

Hope this helps.

EDIT: To clarify for your example - you could ignore the visibility:hidden; and kill the :hover execution if you wanted, this was just the way I did it.

How to install a Notepad++ plugin offline?

If the plugin you want to install is not listed in the Plugins Admin, you may still install it manually. The plugin (in the DLL form) should be placed in the plugins subfolder of the Notepad++ Install Folder, under the subfolder with the same name of plugin binary name without file extension.

For example, if the plugin you want to install named myAwesomePlugin.dll, you should install it with the following path:

%PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\Notepad++\plugins\myAwesomePlugin\myAwesomePlugin.dll

or

%PROGRAMFILES%\Notepad++\plugins\myAwesomePlugin\myAwesomePlugin.dll

Once you installed the plugin, you can use (and you may configure) it via the menu “Plugins”.

Restart the Notepad++ after putting the plugin

Filter Java Stream to 1 and only 1 element

Inspired by @skiwi, I solved it the following way:

public static <T> T toSingleton(Stream<T> stream) {
    List<T> list = stream.limit(1).collect(Collectors.toList());
    if (list.isEmpty()) {
        return null;
    } else {
        return list.get(0);
    }
}

And then:

User user = toSingleton(users.stream().filter(...).map(...));

The permissions granted to user ' are insufficient for performing this operation. (rsAccessDenied)"}

Just like Nasser, I know this was a while ago but I wanted to post my solution for anyone who has this problem in the future.

I had my report setup so that it would use a data connection in a Data Connection library hosted on SharePoint. My issue was that I did not have the data connection 'approved' so that it was usable by other users.

Another thing to look for would to make sure that the permissions on that Data Connection library also allows read to the select users.

Hope this helps someone sooner or later!

Check line for unprintable characters while reading text file

Just found out that with the Java NIO (java.nio.file.*) you can easily write:

List<String> lines=Files.readAllLines(Paths.get("/tmp/test.csv"), StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
for(String line:lines){
  System.out.println(line);
}

instead of dealing with FileInputStreams and BufferedReaders...

What does it mean to have an index to scalar variable error? python

In my case, I was getting this error because I had an input named x and I was creating (without realizing it) a local variable called x. I thought I was trying to access an element of the input x (which was an array), while I was actually trying to access an element of the local variable x (which was a scalar).

How to list active connections on PostgreSQL?

SELECT * FROM pg_stat_activity WHERE datname = 'dbname' and state = 'active';

Since pg_stat_activity contains connection statistics of all databases having any state, either idle or active, database name and connection state should be included in the query to get the desired output.

Replace or delete certain characters from filenames of all files in a folder

This batch file can help, but it has some limitations. The filename characters = and % cannot be replaced (going from memory here) and an ^ in the filenames might be a problem too.

In this portion %newname: =_% on every line in the lower block it replaces the character after : with the character after = so as it stands the bunch of characters are going to be replaced with an underscore.

Remove the echo to activate the ren command as it will merely print the commands to the console window until you do.

It will only process the current folder, unless you add /s to the DIR command portion and then it will process all folders under the current one too.

To delete a certain character, remove the character from after the = sign. In %newname:z=% an entry like this would remove all z characters (case insensitive).

@echo off
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir /a:-d /o:n /b') do call :next "%%a"
pause
GOTO:EOF
:next
set "newname=%~nx1"

set "newname=%newname: =_%"
set "newname=%newname:)=_%"
set "newname=%newname:(=_%"
set "newname=%newname:&=_%"
set "newname=%newname:^=_%"
set "newname=%newname:$=_%"
set "newname=%newname:#=_%"
set "newname=%newname:@=_%"
set "newname=%newname:!=_%"
set "newname=%newname:-=_%"
set "newname=%newname:+=_%"
set "newname=%newname:}=_%"
set "newname=%newname:{=_%"
set "newname=%newname:]=_%"
set "newname=%newname:[=_%"
set "newname=%newname:;=_%"
set "newname=%newname:'=_%"
set "newname=%newname:`=_%"
set "newname=%newname:,=_%"

echo ren %1 "%newname%

Python: Select subset from list based on index set

Assuming you only have the list of items and a list of true/required indices, this should be the fastest:

property_asel = [ property_a[index] for index in good_indices ]

This means the property selection will only do as many rounds as there are true/required indices. If you have a lot of property lists that follow the rules of a single tags (true/false) list you can create an indices list using the same list comprehension principles:

good_indices = [ index for index, item in enumerate(good_objects) if item ]

This iterates through each item in good_objects (while remembering its index with enumerate) and returns only the indices where the item is true.


For anyone not getting the list comprehension, here is an English prose version with the code highlighted in bold:

list the index for every group of index, item that exists in an enumeration of good objects, if (where) the item is True

How to get whole and decimal part of a number?

Try it this way... it's easier like this

echo str_replace(".", "", $decimal);

Note.
  where(:user_id => current_user.id, :notetype => p[:note_type]).

  order('date ASC, created_at ASC')

or you can also convert everything into the SQL notation

Note.
  where("user_id = ? AND notetype = ? AND date > ?", current_user.id, p[:note_type], p[:date]).
  order('date ASC, created_at ASC')

CSS @font-face not working with Firefox, but working with Chrome and IE

I was having the same problem. Double check your code for H1, H2 or whatever style you are targeting with the @font-face rule. I found I was missing a coma after font-family: 'custom-font-family' Arial, Helvetica etc It was showing up fine in every browser apart from Firefox. I added the coma and it worked.

WCF timeout exception detailed investigation

Did you check the WCF traces? WCF has a tendency to swallow exceptions and only return the last exception, which is the timeout that you're getting, since the end point didn't return anything meaningful.

How to link to part of the same document in Markdown?

Experimenting, I found a solution using <div…/> but an obvious solution is to place your own anchor point in the page wherever you like, thus:

<a name="abcde">

before and

</a>

after the line you want to "link" to. Then a markdown link like:

[link text](#abcde)

anywhere in the document takes you there.

The <div…/> solution inserts a "dummy" division just to add the id property, and this is potentially disruptive to the page structure, but the <a name="abcde"/> solution ought to be quite innocuous.

(PS: It might be OK to put the anchor in the line you wish to link to, as follows:

## <a name="head1">Heading One</a>

but this depends on how Markdown treats this. I note, for example, the Stack Overflow answer formatter is happy with this!)

Callback when DOM is loaded in react.js

What I have found is that simply wrapping code in the componentDidMount or componentDidUpdate with a setTimeout with a time of 0 milliseconds ensures that the browser DOM has been updated with the React changes before executing the setTimeout function.

Like this:

componentDidMount() {
    setTimeout(() => {
        $("myclass") //  $ is available here
    }, 0)
}

This puts the anonymous function on the JS Event Queue to run immediately after the currently running React stack frame has completed.

How to unsubscribe to a broadcast event in angularJS. How to remove function registered via $on

You need to store the returned function and call it to unsubscribe from the event.

var deregisterListener = $scope.$on("onViewUpdated", callMe);
deregisterListener (); // this will deregister that listener

This is found in the source code :) at least in 1.0.4. I'll just post the full code since it's short

/**
  * @param {string} name Event name to listen on.
  * @param {function(event)} listener Function to call when the event is emitted.
  * @returns {function()} Returns a deregistration function for this listener.
  */
$on: function(name, listener) {
    var namedListeners = this.$$listeners[name];
    if (!namedListeners) {
      this.$$listeners[name] = namedListeners = [];
    }
    namedListeners.push(listener);

    return function() {
      namedListeners[indexOf(namedListeners, listener)] = null;
    };
},

Also, see the docs.

How to clear Route Caching on server: Laravel 5.2.37

you can define a route in web.php

Route::get('/clear/route', 'ConfigController@clearRoute');

and make ConfigController.php like this

   class ConfigController extends Controller
{
    public function clearRoute()
    {
        \Artisan::call('route:clear');
    }
}

and go to that route on server example http://your-domain/clear/route

What is the C# equivalent of friend?

There's no direct equivalent of "friend" - the closest that's available (and it isn't very close) is InternalsVisibleTo. I've only ever used this attribute for testing - where it's very handy!

Example: To be placed in AssemblyInfo.cs

[assembly: InternalsVisibleTo("OtherAssembly")]

How do I insert datetime value into a SQLite database?

The format you need is:

'2007-01-01 10:00:00'

i.e. yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss

If possible, however, use a parameterised query as this frees you from worrying about the formatting details.

Setting the height of a SELECT in IE

Use a UI library, like jquery or yui, that provides an alternative to the native SELECT element, typically as part of the implementation of a combo box.

connecting MySQL server to NetBeans

Fist of all make sure your SQL server is running. Actually I'm working on windows and I have installed a nice tool which is called MySQL workbench (you can find it here for almost any platform ).

you can see the server is running

Thus I just create a new database to test the connection, let's call it stackoverflow, with one table called user.

SET @OLD_UNIQUE_CHECKS=@@UNIQUE_CHECKS, UNIQUE_CHECKS=0;
SET @OLD_FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=@@FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS, FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0;
SET @OLD_SQL_MODE=@@SQL_MODE, SQL_MODE='TRADITIONAL,ALLOW_INVALID_DATES';

DROP SCHEMA IF EXISTS `stackoverflow` ;
CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS `stackoverflow` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci ;
USE `stackoverflow` ;

-- -----------------------------------------------------
-- Table `stackoverflow`.`user`
-- -----------------------------------------------------
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `stackoverflow`.`user` ;

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `stackoverflow`.`user` (
  `iduser` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `name` VARCHAR(75) NOT NULL,
  `email` VARCHAR(150) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`iduser`),
  UNIQUE INDEX `iduser_UNIQUE` (`iduser` ASC),
  UNIQUE INDEX `email_UNIQUE` (`email` ASC))
ENGINE = InnoDB;


SET SQL_MODE=@OLD_SQL_MODE;
SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=@OLD_FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS;
SET UNIQUE_CHECKS=@OLD_UNIQUE_CHECKS;

You can reduce important part to

 CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS `stackoverflow`

 CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `stackoverflow`.`user` (
      `iduser` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
      `name` VARCHAR(75) NOT NULL,
      `email` VARCHAR(150) NOT NULL,
      PRIMARY KEY (`iduser`),
      UNIQUE INDEX `iduser_UNIQUE` (`iduser` ASC),
      UNIQUE INDEX `email_UNIQUE` (`email` ASC))

So now I have my brand new stackoverflow database. Let's connect to it throught Netbeans. Launch netbeans and go to the services panel list of connections available Now right click on databases: new connection.. Choose MySql connector, they already come packed with netbeans. connector Then fill in the gaps the data you need. As shown in the picture add the database name and remove from the connection url the optional parameters as l?zeroDateTimeBehaviour=convertToNull . Use the right user name and password and test the connection. data

As you can see connection is successful.

Click FINISH.

You will have your connection successfully working and available under the services.

finish

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64 on Xcode 6.1

Apparently, your class "Format" is involved in the problem. Check your declaration of this class, especially if you did it inside another class you probably forgot the @implementation or something similar.

Rounding a double to turn it into an int (java)

Rounding double to the "nearest" integer like this:

1.4 -> 1

1.6 -> 2

-2.1 -> -2

-1.3 -> -1

-1.5 -> -2

private int round(double d){
    double dAbs = Math.abs(d);
    int i = (int) dAbs;
    double result = dAbs - (double) i;
    if(result<0.5){
        return d<0 ? -i : i;            
    }else{
        return d<0 ? -(i+1) : i+1;          
    }
}

You can change condition (result<0.5) as you prefer.

Find the last element of an array while using a foreach loop in PHP

to get first and last element from foreach array

foreach($array as $value) {
    if ($value === reset($array)) {
        echo 'FIRST ELEMENT!';
    }

    if ($value === end($array)) {
        echo 'LAST ITEM!';
    }
}

Concatenating date with a string in Excel

You can do it this simple way :

A1 = Mahi
A2 = NULL(blank)

Select A2 Right click on cell --> Format cells --> change to TEXT

Then put the date in A2 (A2 =31/07/1990)

Then concatenate it will work. No need of any formulae.

=CONCATENATE(A1,A2)

mahi31/07/1990

(This works on the empty cells ie.,Before entering the DATE value to cell you need to make it as TEXT).

How to create a vector of user defined size but with no predefined values?

   arr[x] = x;

SSL "Peer Not Authenticated" error with HttpClient 4.1

If the server's certificate is self-signed, then this is working as designed and you will have to import the server's certificate into your keystore.

Assuming the server certificate is signed by a well-known CA, this is happening because the set of CA certificates available to a modern browser is much larger than the limited set that is shipped with the JDK/JRE.

The EasySSL solution given in one of the posts you mention just buries the error, and you won't know if the server has a valid certificate.

You must import the proper Root CA into your keystore to validate the certificate. There's a reason you can't get around this with the stock SSL code, and that's to prevent you from writing programs that behave as if they are secure but are not.

Java Regex to Validate Full Name allow only Spaces and Letters

You could even try this expression ^[a-zA-Z\\s]*$ for checking a string with only letters and spaces (nothing else).

For me it worked. Hope it works for you as well.

Or go through this piece of code once:

    CharSequence inputStr = expression;
    Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(new String ("^[a-zA-Z\\s]*$"));
    Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(inputStr);
    if(matcher.matches())
    {
         //if pattern matches
    }
    else
    {
         //if pattern does not matches
    }

What does "exited with code 9009" mean during this build?

Yet another variant of file not found, because of spaces in the path. In my case in the msbuild script. I needed to use HTML style &quot; strings within the exec command.

Why do I get an UnsupportedOperationException when trying to remove an element from a List?

You can't remove, nor can you add to a fixed-size-list of Arrays.

But you can create your sublist from that list.

list = list.subList(0, list.size() - (list.size() - count));

public static String SelectRandomFromTemplate(String template, int count) {
   String[] split = template.split("\\|");
   List<String> list = Arrays.asList(split);
   Random r = new Random();
   while( list.size() > count ) {
      list = list.subList(0, list.size() - (list.size() - count));
   }
   return StringUtils.join(list, ", ");
}

*Other way is

ArrayList<String> al = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(template));

this will create ArrayList which is not fixed size like Arrays.asList

Sort ArrayList of custom Objects by property

Well if you using Java 8 or older version Here is the Best solution.

Collections.sort(studentList, Comparator.comparing(Student::getCgpa).reversed().thenComparing(Student:: getFname).thenComparing(Student::getId));

In this case, it will first sort with 'getCgpa' first and for the second part it will sort with getFname and getId. Which is field into the pojo class.

What is a StackOverflowError?

Stack overflow means exactly that: a stack overflows. Usually there's a one stack in the program that contains local-scope variables and addresses where to return when execution of a routine ends. That stack tends to be a fixed memory range somewhere in the memory, therefore it's limited how much it can contain values.

If the stack is empty you can't pop, if you do you'll get stack underflow error.

If the stack is full you can't push, if you do you'll get stack overflow error.

So stack overflow appears where you allocate too much into the stack. For instance, in the mentioned recursion.

Some implementations optimize out some forms of recursions. Tail recursion in particular. Tail recursive routines are form of routines where the recursive call appears as a final thing what the routine does. Such routine call gets simply reduced into a jump.

Some implementations go so far as implement their own stacks for recursion, therefore they allow the recursion to continue until the system runs out of memory.

Easiest thing you could try would be to increase your stack size if you can. If you can't do that though, the second best thing would be to look whether there's something that clearly causes the stack overflow. Try it by printing something before and after the call into routine. This helps you to find out the failing routine.

How to rename a table in SQL Server?

To rename a column:

sp_rename 'table_name.old_column_name', 'new_column_name' , 'COLUMN';

To rename a table:

sp_rename 'old_table_name','new_table_name';

Getting assembly name

I use the Assembly to set the form's title as such:

private String BuildFormTitle()
{
    String AppName = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().GetName().Name;
    String FormTitle = String.Format("{0} {1} ({2})", 
                                     AppName, 
                                     Application.ProductName, 
                                     Application.ProductVersion);
    return FormTitle;
}

downloading all the files in a directory with cURL

Oh, I have just the thing you need!

$host = "ftp://example.com/dir/";
$savePath = "downloadedFiles";
if($check = isFtpUp($host)){

    echo $ip." -is alive<br />";

    $check = trim($check);
    $files = explode("\n",$check);

    foreach($files as $n=>$file){
        $file = trim($file);
        if($file !== "." || $file !== ".."){
            if(!saveFtpFile($file, $host.$file, $savePath)){
                // downloading failed. possible reason: $file is a folder name.
                // echo "Error downloading file.<br />";
            }else{
                echo "File: ".$file." - saved!<br />";
            }
        }else{
            // do nothing
        }
    }
}else{
    echo $ip." - is down.<br />";
}

and functions isFtpUp and saveFtpFile are as follows:

function isFtpUp($host){
$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $host);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "anonymous:[email protected]");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FTPLISTONLY, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 3);

$result = curl_exec($ch);

return $result;

}

function saveFtpFile( $targetFile = null, $sourceFile = null, $savePath){

// function settings
set_time_limit(60);
$timeout = 60;
$ftpuser = "anonymous";
$ftppassword = "[email protected]";
$savePath = "downloadedFiles"; // should exist!
$curl = curl_init();
$file = @fopen ($savePath.'/'.$targetFile, 'w');

if(!$file){
    return false;
}

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $sourceFile);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $ftpuser.':'.$ftppassword);

// curl settings

// curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, 1);
// curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, $timeout);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FILE, $file);

$result = curl_exec($curl);


if(!$result){
    return false;
}

curl_close($curl);
fclose($file);

return $result;
}

EDIT:

it's a php script. save it as a .php file, put it on your webserver, change $ip to address(need not be ip) of ftp server you want to download files from, create a directory named downloadedFiles on the same directory as this file.

JQuery: How to get selected radio button value?

I know this is an old question but I find that the answers are not sufficent enough

The cleanest way to do this is to use this code

$(".myRadio").click(function() {
alert($(this).val());   
});

:-)

Your form input data should look like this

<input type="radio" value="40000" name="pay"  class="myRadio" />
<label for="40000">40000</label>

javascript jquery radio button click

this should be good

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('input:radio').change(function() {
       alert('ole');
    });
});

How to recover just deleted rows in mysql?

Unfortunately, no. If you were running the server in default config, go get your backups (you have backups, right?) - generally, a database doesn't keep previous versions of your data, or a revision of changes: only the current state.

(Alternately, if you have deleted the data through a custom frontend, it is quite possible that the frontend doesn't actually issue a DELETE: many tables have a is_deleted field or similar, and this is simply toggled by the frontend. Note that this is a "soft delete" implemented in the frontend app - the data is not actually deleted in such cases; if you actually issued a DELETE, TRUNCATE or a similar SQL command, this is not applicable.)

Using BETWEEN in CASE SQL statement

Take out the MONTHS from your case, and remove the brackets... like this:

CASE 
    WHEN RATE_DATE BETWEEN '2010-01-01' AND '2010-01-31' THEN 'JANUARY'
    ELSE 'NOTHING'
END AS 'MONTHS'

You can think of this as being equivalent to:

CASE TRUE
    WHEN RATE_DATE BETWEEN '2010-01-01' AND '2010-01-31' THEN 'JANUARY'
    ELSE 'NOTHING'
END AS 'MONTHS'

How to find lines containing a string in linux

The grep family of commands (incl egrep, fgrep) is the usual solution for this.

$ grep pattern filename

If you're searching source code, then ack may be a better bet. It'll search subdirectories automatically and avoid files you'd normally not search (objects, SCM directories etc.)

SQL query to get most recent row for each instance of a given key

Try this:

Select u.[username]
      ,u.[ip]
      ,q.[time_stamp]
From [users] As u
Inner Join (
    Select [username]
          ,max(time_stamp) as [time_stamp]
    From [users]
    Group By [username]) As [q]
On u.username = q.username
And u.time_stamp = q.time_stamp

Pinging servers in Python

I needed a faster ping sweep and I didn't want to use any external libraries, so I resolved to using concurrency using built-in asyncio.

This code requires python 3.7+ and is made and tested on Linux only. It won't work on Windows but I am sure you can easily change it to work on Windows.

I ain't an expert with asyncio but I used this great article Speed Up Your Python Program With Concurrency and I came up with these lines of codes. I tried to make it as simple as possible, so most likely you will need to add more code to it to suit your needs.

It doesn't return true or false, I thought it would be more convenient just to make it print the IP that responds to a ping request. I think it is pretty fast, pinging 255 ips in nearly 10 seconds.

#!/usr/bin/python3

import asyncio

async def ping(host):
    """
    Prints the hosts that respond to ping request
    """
    ping_process = await asyncio.create_subprocess_shell("ping -c 1 " + host + " > /dev/null 2>&1")
    await ping_process.wait()

    if ping_process.returncode == 0:
        print(host)
    return 


async def ping_all():
    tasks = []

    for i in range(1,255):
        ip = "192.168.1.{}".format(i)
        task = asyncio.ensure_future(ping(ip))
        tasks.append(task)

    await asyncio.gather(*tasks, return_exceptions = True)

asyncio.run(ping_all())

Sample output:

192.168.1.1
192.168.1.3
192.168.1.102
192.168.1.106
192.168.1.6

Note that the IPs are not in order, as the IP is printed as soon it replies, so the one that responds first gets printed first.

How do I get the information from a meta tag with JavaScript?

Here's a function that will return the content of any meta tag and will memoize the result, avoiding unnecessary querying of the DOM.

var getMetaContent = (function(){
        var metas = {};
        var metaGetter = function(metaName){
            var theMetaContent, wasDOMQueried = true;;
            if (metas[metaName]) {
                theMetaContent = metas[metaName];
                wasDOMQueried = false;
            }
            else {
                 Array.prototype.forEach.call(document.getElementsByTagName("meta"), function(el) {
                    if (el.name === metaName) theMetaContent = el.content;
                    metas[metaName] = theMetaContent;
                });
            }
            console.log("Q:wasDOMQueried? A:" + wasDOMQueried);
            return theMetaContent;
        }
        return metaGetter;
    })();

getMetaContent("description"); /* getMetaContent console.logs the content of the description metatag. If invoked a second time it confirms that the DOM  was only queried once */

And here's an extended version that also queries for open graph tags, and uses Array#some:

var getMetaContent = (function(){
        var metas = {};
        var metaGetter = function(metaName){
            wasDOMQueried = true;
            if (metas[metaName]) {
                wasDOMQueried = false;
            }
            else {
                 Array.prototype.some.call(document.getElementsByTagName("meta"), function(el) {
                        if(el.name === metaName){
                           metas[metaName] = el.content;
                           return true;
                        }
                        if(el.getAttribute("property") === metaName){
                           metas[metaName] = el.content;
                           return true;
                        }
                        else{
                          metas[metaName] = "meta tag not found";
                        }  
                    });
            }
            console.info("Q:wasDOMQueried? A:" + wasDOMQueried);
            console.info(metas);
            return metas[metaName];
        }
        return metaGetter;
    })();

getMetaContent("video"); // "http://video.com/video33353.mp4"

Difference between dates in JavaScript

    // This is for first date
    first = new Date(2010, 03, 08, 15, 30, 10); // Get the first date epoch object
    document.write((first.getTime())/1000); // get the actual epoch values
    second = new Date(2012, 03, 08, 15, 30, 10); // Get the first date epoch object
    document.write((second.getTime())/1000); // get the actual epoch values
    diff= second - first ;
    one_day_epoch = 24*60*60 ;  // calculating one epoch
    if ( diff/ one_day_epoch > 365 ) // check , is it exceei
    {
    alert( 'date is exceeding one year');
    }

Accessing JPEG EXIF rotation data in JavaScript on the client side

You can use the exif-js library in combination with the HTML5 File API: http://jsfiddle.net/xQnMd/1/.

$("input").change(function() {
    var file = this.files[0];  // file
        fr   = new FileReader; // to read file contents

    fr.onloadend = function() {
        // get EXIF data
        var exif = EXIF.readFromBinaryFile(new BinaryFile(this.result));

        // alert a value
        alert(exif.Make);
    };

    fr.readAsBinaryString(file); // read the file
});

TCPDF Save file to folder?

$pdf->Output() takes a second parameter $dest, which accepts a single character. The default, $dest='I' opens the PDF in the browser.

Use F to save to file

$pdf->Output('/path/to/file.pdf', 'F')

Ignoring NaNs with str.contains

In addition to the above answers, I would say for columns having no single word name, you may use:-

df[df['Product ID'].str.contains("foo") == True]

Hope this helps.

1114 (HY000): The table is full

EDIT: First check, if you did not run out of disk-space, before resolving to the configuration-related resolution.

You seem to have a too low maximum size for your innodb_data_file_path in your my.cnf, In this example

innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:10M:autoextend:max:512M

you cannot host more than 512MB of data in all innodb tables combined.

Maybe you should switch to an innodb-per-table scheme using innodb_file_per_table.

How to count digits, letters, spaces for a string in Python?

Here's another option:

s = 'some string'

numbers = sum(c.isdigit() for c in s)
letters = sum(c.isalpha() for c in s)
spaces  = sum(c.isspace() for c in s)
others  = len(s) - numbers - letters - spaces

Box shadow in IE7 and IE8

You could try this

box-shadow:
progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.dropshadow(OffX=0, OffY=10, Color='#19000000'), 
progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.dropshadow(OffX=10, OffY=20, Color='#19000000'), 
progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.dropshadow(OffX=20, OffY=30, Color='#19000000'), 
progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.dropshadow(OffX=30, OffY=40, Color='#19000000');

How to create query parameters in Javascript?

Just like to revisit this almost 10 year old question. In this era of off-the-shelf programming, your best bet is to set your project up using a dependency manager (npm). There is an entire cottage industry of libraries out there that encode query strings and take care of all the edge cases. This is one of the more popular ones -

https://www.npmjs.com/package/query-string

R for loop skip to next iteration ifelse

for(n in 1:5) {
  if(n==3) next # skip 3rd iteration and go to next iteration
  cat(n)
}

if statements matching multiple values

Using Extension Methods:

public static class ObjectExtension
{
    public static bool In(this object obj, params object[] objects)
    {
        if (objects == null || obj == null)
            return false;
        object found = objects.FirstOrDefault(o => o.GetType().Equals(obj.GetType()) && o.Equals(obj));
        return (found != null);
    }
}

Now you can do this:

string role= "Admin";
if (role.In("Admin", "Director"))
{ 
    ...
} 

How to install a previous exact version of a NPM package?

You can use the following command to install a previous version of an npm package:

JSON.stringify doesn't work with normal Javascript array

Alternatively you can use like this

var test = new Array();
test[0]={};
test[0]['a'] = 'test';
test[1]={};
test[1]['b'] = 'test b';
var json = JSON.stringify(test);
alert(json);

Like this you JSON-ing a array.

PHP - check if variable is undefined

To check is variable is set you need to use isset function.

$lorem = 'potato';

if(isset($lorem)){
    echo 'isset true' . '<br />';
}else{
    echo 'isset false' . '<br />';
}

if(isset($ipsum)){
    echo 'isset true' . '<br />';
}else{
    echo 'isset false' . '<br />';
}

this code will print:

isset true
isset false

How to format strings in Java

In addition to String.format, also take a look java.text.MessageFormat. The format less terse and a bit closer to the C# example you've provided and you can use it for parsing as well.

For example:

int someNumber = 42;
String someString = "foobar";
Object[] args = {new Long(someNumber), someString};
MessageFormat fmt = new MessageFormat("String is \"{1}\", number is {0}.");
System.out.println(fmt.format(args));

A nicer example takes advantage of the varargs and autoboxing improvements in Java 1.5 and turns the above into a one-liner:

MessageFormat.format("String is \"{1}\", number is {0}.", 42, "foobar");

MessageFormat is a little bit nicer for doing i18nized plurals with the choice modifier. To specify a message that correctly uses the singular form when a variable is 1 and plural otherwise, you can do something like this:

String formatString = "there were {0} {0,choice,0#objects|1#object|1<objects}";
MessageFormat fmt = new MessageFormat(formatString);
fmt.format(new Object[] { new Long(numberOfObjects) });

How to style the menu items on an Android action bar

How do I remove the non-numeric character from a string in java?

Another regex solution:

string.replace(/\D/g,'');  //remove the non-Numeric

Similarly, you can

string.replace(/\W/g,'');  //remove the non-alphaNumeric

In RegEX, the symbol '\' would make the letter following it a template: \w -- alphanumeric, and \W - Non-AlphaNumeric, negates when you capitalize the letter.

Converting EditText to int? (Android)

I'm very sleepy and tired right now but wouldn't this work?:

EditText et = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText1);
String sTextFromET = et.getText().toString();
int nIntFromET = new Integer(sTextFromET).intValue();

OR

try
{
    int nIntFromET = Integer.parseInt(sTextFromET);
}
catch (NumberFormatException e)
{
    // handle the exception
}

C++ equivalent of StringBuffer/StringBuilder?

Since std::string in C++ is mutable you can use that. It has a += operator and an append function.

If you need to append numerical data use the std::to_string functions.

If you want even more flexibility in the form of being able to serialise any object to a string then use the std::stringstream class. But you'll need to implement your own streaming operator functions for it to work with your own custom classes.

Apache shows PHP code instead of executing it

Posting what worked for me in case in helps someone down the road, though it is an unusual case.

I had set a handler to force my web host to use a higher version of php than their default. There's was 5.1, but I wanted 5.6 so I had this:

<FilesMatch \.php$>
    SetHandler php56-cgi
</FilesMatch>

in my .htaccess file.

When trying to run my site locally, having that in there caused php code to be output to the browser. Removing it solved the problem.

How to get the selected radio button’s value?

If it is possible for you to assign a Id for your form element(), this way can be considered as a safe alternative way (specially when radio group element name is not unique in document):

function findSelection(field) {
    var formInputElements = document.getElementById("yourFormId").getElementsByTagName("input");
    alert(formInputElements);
        for (i=0; i < formInputElements.length; i++) {
        if ((formInputElements[i].type == "radio") && (formInputElements[i].name == field) && (formInputElements[i].checked)) {
            alert(formInputElements[i].value + ' you got a value');     
            return formInputElements[i].value;
        }
    }
}

How to increase the Java stack size?

Other posters have pointed out how to increase memory and that you could memoize calls. I'd suggest that for many applications, you can use Stirling's formula to approximate large n! very quickly with almost no memory footprint.

Take a gander at this post, which has some analysis of the function and code:

How does the class_weight parameter in scikit-learn work?

The first answer is good for understanding how it works. But I wanted to understand how I should be using it in practice.

SUMMARY

  • for moderately imbalanced data WITHOUT noise, there is not much of a difference in applying class weights
  • for moderately imbalanced data WITH noise and strongly imbalanced, it is better to apply class weights
  • param class_weight="balanced" works decent in the absence of you wanting to optimize manually
  • with class_weight="balanced" you capture more true events (higher TRUE recall) but also you are more likely to get false alerts (lower TRUE precision)
    • as a result, the total % TRUE might be higher than actual because of all the false positives
    • AUC might misguide you here if the false alarms are an issue
  • no need to change decision threshold to the imbalance %, even for strong imbalance, ok to keep 0.5 (or somewhere around that depending on what you need)

NB

The result might differ when using RF or GBM. sklearn does not have class_weight="balanced" for GBM but lightgbm has LGBMClassifier(is_unbalance=False)

copy-item With Alternate Credentials

Since PowerShell doesn't support "-Credential" usage via many of the cmdlets (very annoying), and mapping a network drive via WMI proved to be very unreliable in PS, I found pre-caching the user credentials via a net use command to work quite well:

# cache credentials for our network path
net use \\server\C$ $password /USER:$username

Any operation that uses \\server\C$ in the path seems to work using the *-item cmdlets.

You can also delete the share when you're done:

net use \\server\C$ /delete

Mongodb: failed to connect to server on first connect

I tried all the method above.

  • Allowed access from any db,
  • Verified correct credentials of connection string,
  • Created another user,

Nothing of those worked for me.

Finally, I created a new DB and switched to it. everything was fine. Luckily, it wasn't so important DB (for self education purpose) so the damage wasn't so big.

Where can I find "make" program for Mac OS X Lion?

How to replace captured groups only?

A simplier option is to just capture the digits and replace them.

_x000D_
_x000D_
const name = 'preceding_text_0_following_text';_x000D_
const matcher = /(\d+)/;_x000D_
_x000D_
// Replace with whatever you would like_x000D_
const newName = name.replace(matcher, 'NEW_STUFF');_x000D_
console.log("Full replace", newName);_x000D_
_x000D_
// Perform work on the match and replace using a function_x000D_
// In this case increment it using an arrow function_x000D_
const incrementedName = name.replace(matcher, (match) => ++match);_x000D_
console.log("Increment", incrementedName);
_x000D_

How can I get the values of data attributes in JavaScript code?

You could also grab the attributes with the getAttribute() method which will return the value of a specific HTML attribute.

_x000D_
_x000D_
var elem = document.getElementById('the-span');_x000D_
_x000D_
var typeId = elem.getAttribute('data-typeId');_x000D_
var type   = elem.getAttribute('data-type');_x000D_
var points = elem.getAttribute('data-points');_x000D_
var important = elem.getAttribute('data-important');_x000D_
_x000D_
console.log(`typeId: ${typeId} | type: ${type} | points: ${points} | important: ${important}`_x000D_
);
_x000D_
<span data-typeId="123" data-type="topic" data-points="-1" data-important="true" id="the-span"></span>

How to remove the bottom border of a box with CSS

You seem to misunderstand the box model - in CSS you provide points for the top and left and then width and height - these are all that are needed for a box to be placed with exact measurements.

The width property is what your C-D is, but it is also what A-B is. If you omit it, the div will not have a defined width and the width will be defined by its contents.


Update (following the comments on the question:

Add a border-bottom-style: none; to your CSS to remove this style from the bottom only.

How to declare Return Types for Functions in TypeScript

You can read more about function types in the language specification in sections 3.5.3.5 and 3.5.5.

The TypeScript compiler will infer types when it can, and this is done you do not need to specify explicit types. so for the greeter example, greet() returns a string literal, which tells the compiler that the type of the function is a string, and no need to specify a type. so for instance in this sample, I have the greeter class with a greet method that returns a string, and a variable that is assigned to number literal. the compiler will infer both types and you will get an error if you try to assign a string to a number.

class Greeter {
    greet() {
        return "Hello, ";  // type infered to be string
    }
} 

var x = 0; // type infered to be number

// now if you try to do this, you will get an error for incompatable types
x = new Greeter().greet(); 

Similarly, this sample will cause an error as the compiler, given the information, has no way to decide the type, and this will be a place where you have to have an explicit return type.

function foo(){
    if (true)
        return "string"; 
    else 
        return 0;
}

This, however, will work:

function foo() : any{
    if (true)
        return "string"; 
    else 
        return 0;
}

curl: (35) error:1408F10B:SSL routines:ssl3_get_record:wrong version number

Simple answer

If you are behind a proxy server, please set the proxy for curl. The curl is not able to connect to server so it shows wrong version number. Set proxy by opening subl ~/.curlrc or use any other text editor. Then add the following line to file: proxy= proxyserver:proxyport For e.g. proxy = 10.8.0.1:8080

If you are not behind a proxy, make sure that the curlrc file does not contain the proxy settings.

java.lang.RuntimeException: Can't create handler inside thread that has not called Looper.prepare();

I got this error in a JobService from the following code:

    BluetoothLeScanner bluetoothLeScanner = getBluetoothLeScanner();
    if (BluetoothAdapter.STATE_ON == getBluetoothAdapter().getState() && null != bluetoothLeScanner) {
        // ...
    } else {
        Logger.debug(TAG, "BluetoothAdapter isn't on so will attempting to turn on and will retry starting scanning in a few seconds");
        getBluetoothAdapter().enable();
        (new Handler()).postDelayed(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                startScanningBluetooth();
            }
        }, 5000);
    }

The service crashed:

                public void run() {
                    startScanningBluetooth();
                }
            }, 5000);

Now the code doesn't throw the RuntimeException anymore.

How do I remove the blue styling of telephone numbers on iPhone/iOS?

iOS makes phone numbers clickable by defaults (for obvious reasons). Of course, that adds an extra tag which is overriding your styling if your phone number isn’t already a link.

To fix it, try adding this to your stylesheet: a[href^=tel] { color: inherit; text-decoration: none; }

That should keep your phone numbers styled as you expect without adding extra markup.

Return a `struct` from a function in C

yes, it is possible we can pass structure and return structure as well. You were right but you actually did not pass the data type which should be like this struct MyObj b = a.

Actually I also came to know when I was trying to find out a better solution to return more than one values for function without using pointer or global variable.

Now below is the example for the same, which calculate the deviation of a student marks about average.

#include<stdio.h>
struct marks{
    int maths;
    int physics;
    int chem;
};

struct marks deviation(struct marks student1 , struct marks student2 );

int main(){

    struct marks student;
    student.maths= 87;
    student.chem = 67;
    student.physics=96;

    struct marks avg;
    avg.maths= 55;
    avg.chem = 45;
    avg.physics=34;
    //struct marks dev;
    struct marks dev= deviation(student, avg );
    printf("%d %d %d" ,dev.maths,dev.chem,dev.physics);

    return 0;
 }

struct marks deviation(struct marks student , struct marks student2 ){
    struct marks dev;

    dev.maths = student.maths-student2.maths;
    dev.chem = student.chem-student2.chem;
    dev.physics = student.physics-student2.physics; 

    return dev;
}

MySQL error: key specification without a key length

Don't have long values as primary key. That will destroy your performance. See the mysql manual, section 13.6.13 'InnoDB Performance Tuning and Troubleshooting'.

Instead, have a surrogate int key as primary (with auto_increment), and your loong key as a secondary UNIQUE.

Will Google Android ever support .NET?

Yes, it will be possible and it won't be that difficult. All what's needed at this point to start with is some kind of converter that will turn MSIL into Dalvik bytecode. Since both formats are open-sourced and well documented, there won't be any problem with it.

So, writing Android applications in C# or VB.NET will be possible, question is how much of .NET framework standard libraries will be supported. But that's another issue.

Oscar Reyes wrote:

I'm pretty sure if google hand ANY interest in .net, they would've design something while Android was in the first stages, not now when they are in production stages. I don't mean it is not possible, what I'm saying is they're not interested. Maybe in mmm hhhh 10 yrs.

Actually what they've already designed is very compatible with Java and .NET

They can't do everything at once, but if you look into Android SDK, there is a tool called dx. This tool converts Java bytecode into Dalvik bytecode, so in other words, you can run programs written in Java on Android with no effort today. Now the same tool is needed for .NET.

Considering how similar .NET and Java are, it's really a matter of time.

ddimitrov wrote:

The .Net->Java->Dalvik translation can be done even now (http://dev.mainsoft.com/), but I think you underestimate the lack of .Net libraries. Of course somebody can port Mono, but it's definitely a non-trivial effort.

No need to port Mono. Android already has VM and some basic API. All what's needed is CIL->Dalvik converter and tiny .NET wrapper for Android API (and maybe some basic implementation of some standard .NET classes). That's it.

Update: .NET already works on Android - you will need product called Monodroid (http://monodroid.net) as stated above.

print variable and a string in python

Assuming you use Python 2.7 (not 3):

print "I have", card.price (as mentioned above).

print "I have %s" % card.price (using string formatting)

print " ".join(map(str, ["I have", card.price])) (by joining lists)

There are a lot of ways to do the same, actually. I would prefer the second one.

    $(function () {
        $("#header").focus();
    });
</script>

Integrity constraint violation: 1452 Cannot add or update a child row:

Maybe you have some rows in the table that you want to create de FK.

Run the migration with foreign_key_checks OFF Insert only those records that have corresponding id field in contents table.

Multiple inputs on one line

Yes, you can.

From cplusplus.com:

Because these functions are operator overloading functions, the usual way in which they are called is:

   strm >> variable;

Where strm is the identifier of a istream object and variable is an object of any type supported as right parameter. It is also possible to call a succession of extraction operations as:

   strm >> variable1 >> variable2 >> variable3; //...

which is the same as performing successive extractions from the same object strm.

Just replace strm with cin.

How To: Best way to draw table in console app (C#)

There're several open-source libraries which allow console table formatting, ranging from simple (like the code samples in the answers here) to more advanced.

ConsoleTable

Judging by NuGet stats, the most popular library for formatting tables is ConsoleTable. Tables are constructed like this (from the readme file):

var table = new ConsoleTable("one", "two", "three");
table.AddRow(1, 2, 3)
     .AddRow("this line should be longer", "yes it is", "oh");

Tables can be formatted using one of the predefined styles. It'll look like this:

--------------------------------------------------
| one                        | two       | three |
--------------------------------------------------
| 1                          | 2         | 3     |
--------------------------------------------------
| this line should be longer | yes it is | oh    |
--------------------------------------------------

This library expects single-line cells with no formatting.

There're a couple of libraries based on ConsoleTable with slightly extended feature sets, like more line styles.

CsConsoleFormat

If you need more complex formatting, you can use CsConsoleFormat.† Here's a table generated from a process list (from a sample project):

new Grid { Stroke = StrokeHeader, StrokeColor = DarkGray }
    .AddColumns(
        new Column { Width = GridLength.Auto },
        new Column { Width = GridLength.Auto, MaxWidth = 20 },
        new Column { Width = GridLength.Star(1) },
        new Column { Width = GridLength.Auto }
    )
    .AddChildren(
        new Cell { Stroke = StrokeHeader, Color = White }
            .AddChildren("Id"),
        new Cell { Stroke = StrokeHeader, Color = White }
            .AddChildren("Name"),
        new Cell { Stroke = StrokeHeader, Color = White }
            .AddChildren("Main Window Title"),
        new Cell { Stroke = StrokeHeader, Color = White }
            .AddChildren("Private Memory"),
        processes.Select(process => new[] {
            new Cell { Stroke = StrokeRight }
                .AddChildren(process.Id),
            new Cell { Stroke = StrokeRight, Color = Yellow, TextWrap = TextWrapping.NoWrap }
                .AddChildren(process.ProcessName),
            new Cell { Stroke = StrokeRight, Color = White, TextWrap = TextWrapping.NoWrap }
                .AddChildren(process.MainWindowTitle),
            new Cell { Stroke = LineThickness.None, Align = HorizontalAlignment.Right }
                .AddChildren(process.PrivateMemorySize64.ToString("n0")),
        })
    )

The end result will look like this:

It supports any kind of table lines (several included and customizable), multi-line cells with word wrap, colors, columns growing based on content or percentage, text alignment etc.

† CsConsoleFormat was developed by me.

Remove ALL styling/formatting from hyperlinks

You can simply define a style for links, which would override a:hover, a:visited etc.:

a {
  color: blue;
  text-decoration: none; /* no underline */
}

You can also use the inherit value if you want to use attributes from parent styles instead:

body {
  color: blue;
}
a {
  color: inherit; /* blue colors for links too */
  text-decoration: inherit; /* no underline */
}

Setting mime type for excel document

Waking up an old thread here I see, but I felt the urge to add the "new" .xlsx format.

According to http://filext.com/file-extension/XLSX the extension for .xlsx is application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet. It might be a good idea to include it when checking for mime types!

Declare Variable for a Query String

DECLARE @theDate DATETIME
SET @theDate = '2010-01-01'

Then change your query to use this logic:

AND 
(
    tblWO.OrderDate > DATEADD(MILLISECOND, -1, @theDate) 
    AND tblWO.OrderDate < DATEADD(DAY, 1, @theDate)
)

Compare a date string to datetime in SQL Server?

How to get the DATE portion of a DATETIME field in MS SQL Server:

One of the quickest and neatest ways to do this is using

DATEADD(dd, DATEDIFF( dd, 0, @DAY ), 0)

It avoids the CPU busting "convert the date into a string without the time and then converting it back again" logic.

It also does not expose the internal implementation that the "time portion is expressed as a fraction" of the date.

Get the date of the first day of the month

DATEADD(dd, DATEDIFF( dd, -1, GetDate() - DAY(GetDate()) ), 0)

Get the date rfom 1 year ago

DATEADD(m,-12,DATEADD(dd, DATEDIFF( dd, -1, GetDate() - DAY(GetDate()) ), 0))

Where are SQL Server connection attempts logged?

You can enable connection logging. For SQL Server 2008, you can enable Login Auditing. In SQL Server Management Studio, open SQL Server Properties > Security > Login Auditing select "Both failed and successful logins".

Make sure to restart the SQL Server service.

Once you've done that, connection attempts should be logged into SQL's error log. The physical logs location can be determined here.

PreparedStatement with list of parameters in a IN clause

You could use setArray method as mentioned in the javadoc below:

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/sql/PreparedStatement.html#setArray(int, java.sql.Array)

Code:

PreparedStatement statement = connection.prepareStatement("Select * from test where field in (?)");
Array array = statement.getConnection().createArrayOf("VARCHAR", new Object[]{"A1", "B2","C3"});
statement.setArray(1, array);
ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery();

How can I run a php without a web server?

PHP is a normal sripting language similar to bash or python or perl. So a script with shebang works, at least on linux.

Example PHP file:

#!/usr/bin/env php

<?php

echo("Hello World!\n")

?>

How to run it:

$ chmod 755 hello.php  # do this only once
$ ./hello.php

Calling a class method raises a TypeError in Python

You never created an instance.

You've defined average as an instance method, thus, in order to use average you need to create an instance first.

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find

When you make the call to gcc it should say

g++ -Wall -I/home/alwin/Development/Calculator/ -L/opt/lib main.cpp -lcalc -o calculator

not -libcalc.so 

I have a similar problem with auto-generated makes.

You can create a soft link from your compile directory to the library directory. Then the library becomes "local".

cd /compile/directory

ln -s  /path/to/libcalc.so libcalc.so

What is the difference between a 'closure' and a 'lambda'?

It depends on whether a function uses external variable or not to perform operation.

External variables - variables defined outside the scope of a function.

  • Lambda expressions are stateless because It depends on parameters, internal variables or constants to perform operations.

    Function<Integer,Integer> lambda = t -> {
        int n = 2
        return t * n 
    }
    
  • Closures hold state because it uses external variables (i.e. variable defined outside the scope of the function body) along with parameters and constants to perform operations.

    int n = 2
    
    Function<Integer,Integer> closure = t -> {
        return t * n 
    }
    

When Java creates closure, it keeps the variable n with the function so it can be referenced when passed to other functions or used anywhere.

Cast object to interface in TypeScript

Here's another way to force a type-cast even between incompatible types and interfaces where TS compiler normally complains:

export function forceCast<T>(input: any): T {

  // ... do runtime checks here

  // @ts-ignore <-- forces TS compiler to compile this as-is
  return input;
}

Then you can use it to force cast objects to a certain type:

import { forceCast } from './forceCast';

const randomObject: any = {};
const typedObject = forceCast<IToDoDto>(randomObject);

Note that I left out the part you are supposed to do runtime checks before casting for the sake of reducing complexity. What I do in my project is compiling all my .d.ts interface files into JSON schemas and using ajv to validate in runtime.

JSON and escaping characters

This is SUPER late and probably not relevant anymore, but if anyone stumbles upon this answer, I believe I know the cause.

So the JSON encoded string is perfectly valid with the degree symbol in it, as the other answer mentions. The problem is most likely in the character encoding that you are reading/writing with. Depending on how you are using Gson, you are probably passing it a java.io.Reader instance. Any time you are creating a Reader from an InputStream, you need to specify the character encoding, or java.nio.charset.Charset instance (it's usually best to use java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets.UTF_8). If you don't specify a Charset, Java will use your platform default encoding, which on Windows is usually CP-1252.

Saving an Object (Data persistence)

You could use the pickle module in the standard library. Here's an elementary application of it to your example:

import pickle

class Company(object):
    def __init__(self, name, value):
        self.name = name
        self.value = value

with open('company_data.pkl', 'wb') as output:
    company1 = Company('banana', 40)
    pickle.dump(company1, output, pickle.HIGHEST_PROTOCOL)

    company2 = Company('spam', 42)
    pickle.dump(company2, output, pickle.HIGHEST_PROTOCOL)

del company1
del company2

with open('company_data.pkl', 'rb') as input:
    company1 = pickle.load(input)
    print(company1.name)  # -> banana
    print(company1.value)  # -> 40

    company2 = pickle.load(input)
    print(company2.name) # -> spam
    print(company2.value)  # -> 42

You could also define your own simple utility like the following which opens a file and writes a single object to it:

def save_object(obj, filename):
    with open(filename, 'wb') as output:  # Overwrites any existing file.
        pickle.dump(obj, output, pickle.HIGHEST_PROTOCOL)

# sample usage
save_object(company1, 'company1.pkl')

Update

Since this is such a popular answer, I'd like touch on a few slightly advanced usage topics.

cPickle (or _pickle) vs pickle

It's almost always preferable to actually use the cPickle module rather than pickle because the former is written in C and is much faster. There are some subtle differences between them, but in most situations they're equivalent and the C version will provide greatly superior performance. Switching to it couldn't be easier, just change the import statement to this:

import cPickle as pickle

In Python 3, cPickle was renamed _pickle, but doing this is no longer necessary since the pickle module now does it automatically—see What difference between pickle and _pickle in python 3?.

The rundown is you could use something like the following to ensure that your code will always use the C version when it's available in both Python 2 and 3:

try:
    import cPickle as pickle
except ModuleNotFoundError:
    import pickle

Data stream formats (protocols)

pickle can read and write files in several different, Python-specific, formats, called protocols as described in the documentation, "Protocol version 0" is ASCII and therefore "human-readable". Versions > 0 are binary and the highest one available depends on what version of Python is being used. The default also depends on Python version. In Python 2 the default was Protocol version 0, but in Python 3.8.1, it's Protocol version 4. In Python 3.x the module had a pickle.DEFAULT_PROTOCOL added to it, but that doesn't exist in Python 2.

Fortunately there's shorthand for writing pickle.HIGHEST_PROTOCOL in every call (assuming that's what you want, and you usually do), just use the literal number -1 — similar to referencing the last element of a sequence via a negative index. So, instead of writing:

pickle.dump(obj, output, pickle.HIGHEST_PROTOCOL)

You can just write:

pickle.dump(obj, output, -1)

Either way, you'd only have specify the protocol once if you created a Pickler object for use in multiple pickle operations:

pickler = pickle.Pickler(output, -1)
pickler.dump(obj1)
pickler.dump(obj2)
   etc...

Note: If you're in an environment running different versions of Python, then you'll probably want to explicitly use (i.e. hardcode) a specific protocol number that all of them can read (later versions can generally read files produced by earlier ones).

Multiple Objects

While a pickle file can contain any number of pickled objects, as shown in the above samples, when there's an unknown number of them, it's often easier to store them all in some sort of variably-sized container, like a list, tuple, or dict and write them all to the file in a single call:

tech_companies = [
    Company('Apple', 114.18), Company('Google', 908.60), Company('Microsoft', 69.18)
]
save_object(tech_companies, 'tech_companies.pkl')

and restore the list and everything in it later with:

with open('tech_companies.pkl', 'rb') as input:
    tech_companies = pickle.load(input)

The major advantage is you don't need to know how many object instances are saved in order to load them back later (although doing so without that information is possible, it requires some slightly specialized code). See the answers to the related question Saving and loading multiple objects in pickle file? for details on different ways to do this. Personally I like @Lutz Prechelt's answer the best. Here's it adapted to the examples here:

class Company:
    def __init__(self, name, value):
        self.name = name
        self.value = value

def pickled_items(filename):
    """ Unpickle a file of pickled data. """
    with open(filename, "rb") as f:
        while True:
            try:
                yield pickle.load(f)
            except EOFError:
                break

print('Companies in pickle file:')
for company in pickled_items('company_data.pkl'):
    print('  name: {}, value: {}'.format(company.name, company.value))

What is the purpose of shuffling and sorting phase in the reducer in Map Reduce Programming?

Let's revisit key phases of Mapreduce program.

The map phase is done by mappers. Mappers run on unsorted input key/values pairs. Each mapper emits zero, one, or multiple output key/value pairs for each input key/value pairs.

The combine phase is done by combiners. The combiner should combine key/value pairs with the same key. Each combiner may run zero, once, or multiple times.

The shuffle and sort phase is done by the framework. Data from all mappers are grouped by the key, split among reducers and sorted by the key. Each reducer obtains all values associated with the same key. The programmer may supply custom compare functions for sorting and a partitioner for data split.

The partitioner decides which reducer will get a particular key value pair.

The reducer obtains sorted key/[values list] pairs, sorted by the key. The value list contains all values with the same key produced by mappers. Each reducer emits zero, one or multiple output key/value pairs for each input key/value pair.

Current time in microseconds in java

Java support microseconds through TimeUnit enum.

Here is the java doc: Enum TimeUnit

You can get microseconds in java by this way:

long microsenconds = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMicros(System.currentTimeMillis());

You also can convert microseconds back to another time units, for example:

long seconds = TimeUnit.MICROSECONDS.toSeconds(microsenconds);

How to pass variable from jade template file to a script file?

Here's how I addressed this (using a MEAN derivative)

My variables:

{
  NODE_ENV : development,
  ...
  ui_varables {
     var1: one,
     var2: two
  }
}

First I had to make sure that the necessary config variables were being passed. MEAN uses the node nconf package, and by default is set up to limit which variables get passed from the environment. I had to remedy that:

config/config.js:

original:

nconf.argv()
  .env(['PORT', 'NODE_ENV', 'FORCE_DB_SYNC'] ) // Load only these environment variables
  .defaults({
  store: {
    NODE_ENV: 'development'
  }
});

after modifications:

nconf.argv()
  .env('__') // Load ALL environment variables
  // double-underscore replaces : as a way to denote hierarchy
  .defaults({
  store: {
    NODE_ENV: 'development'
  }
});

Now I can set my variables like this:

export ui_varables__var1=first-value
export ui_varables__var2=second-value

Note: I reset the "heirarchy indicator" to "__" (double underscore) because its default was ":", which makes variables more difficult to set from bash. See another post on this thread.

Now the jade part: Next the values need to be rendered, so that javascript can pick them up on the client side. A straightforward way to write these values to the index file. Because this is a one-page app (angular), this page is always loaded first. I think ideally this should be a javascript include file (just to keep things clean), but this is good for a demo.

app/controllers/index.js:

'use strict';
var config = require('../../config/config');

exports.render = function(req, res) {
  res.render('index', {
    user: req.user ? JSON.stringify(req.user) : "null",
    //new lines follow:
    config_defaults : {
       ui_defaults: JSON.stringify(config.configwriter_ui).replace(/<\//g, '<\\/')  //NOTE: the replace is xss prevention
    }
  });
};

app/views/index.jade:

extends layouts/default

block content
  section(ui-view)
    script(type="text/javascript").
    window.user = !{user};
    //new line here
    defaults = !{config_defaults.ui_defaults};

In my rendered html, this gives me a nice little script:

<script type="text/javascript">
 window.user = null;         
 defaults = {"var1":"first-value","var2:"second-value"};
</script>        

From this point it's easy for angular to utilize the code.

Prepend line to beginning of a file

Different Idea:

(1) You save the original file as a variable.

(2) You overwrite the original file with new information.

(3) You append the original file in the data below the new information.

Code:

with open(<filename>,'r') as contents:
      save = contents.read()
with open(<filename>,'w') as contents:
      contents.write(< New Information >)
with open(<filename>,'a') as contents:
      contents.write(save)

3
--> del test
--> print(test)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'test' is not defined

compared to:

--> test = 5
--> other is test  # check that both name refer to the exact same object
True
--> del test       # gets rid of test, but the object is still referenced by other
--> print(other)
5

Static link of shared library function in gcc

In gcc, this isn't supported. In fact, this isn't supported in any existing compiler/linker i'm aware of.

What does from __future__ import absolute_import actually do?

The changelog is sloppily worded. from __future__ import absolute_import does not care about whether something is part of the standard library, and import string will not always give you the standard-library module with absolute imports on.

from __future__ import absolute_import means that if you import string, Python will always look for a top-level string module, rather than current_package.string. However, it does not affect the logic Python uses to decide what file is the string module. When you do

python pkg/script.py

pkg/script.py doesn't look like part of a package to Python. Following the normal procedures, the pkg directory is added to the path, and all .py files in the pkg directory look like top-level modules. import string finds pkg/string.py not because it's doing a relative import, but because pkg/string.py appears to be the top-level module string. The fact that this isn't the standard-library string module doesn't come up.

To run the file as part of the pkg package, you could do

python -m pkg.script

In this case, the pkg directory will not be added to the path. However, the current directory will be added to the path.

You can also add some boilerplate to pkg/script.py to make Python treat it as part of the pkg package even when run as a file:

if __name__ == '__main__' and __package__ is None:
    __package__ = 'pkg'

However, this won't affect sys.path. You'll need some additional handling to remove the pkg directory from the path, and if pkg's parent directory isn't on the path, you'll need to stick that on the path too.

Loop timer in JavaScript

You should try something like this:

 function update(){
    i++;
    document.getElementById('tekst').innerHTML = i;
    setInterval(update(),1000);
    }

This means that you have to create a function in which you do the stuff you need to do, and make sure it will call itself with an interval you like. In your body onload call the function for the first time like this:

<body onload="update()">

Disable scrolling in an iPhone web application?

Change to the touchstart event instead of touchmove. Under One Finger Events it says that no events are sent during a pan, so touchmove may be too late.

How do I read an image file using Python?

The word "read" is vague, but here is an example which reads a jpeg file using the Image class, and prints information about it.

from PIL import Image
jpgfile = Image.open("picture.jpg")

print(jpgfile.bits, jpgfile.size, jpgfile.format)

jQuery prevent change for select

If you simply want to prevent interaction with the select altogether when my_condition is true, you could always just capture the mousedown event and do your event prevent there:

var my_condition = true;

$("#my_select").mousedown(function(e){
  if(my_condition)
  {
     e.preventDefault();
     alert("Because my_condition is true, you cannot make this change.");
  }
});

This will prevent any change event from ever occurring while my_condition is true.

Split string into tokens and save them in an array

You can use strtok()

{
   array[++i] = strtok(NULL,"/");
}

Why does my favicon not show up?

  1. Is it really a .ico, or is it just named ".ico"?
  2. What browser are you testing in?

The absolutely easiest way to have a favicon is to place an icon called "favicon.ico" in the root folder. That just works everywhere, no code needed at all.

If you must have it in a subdirectory, use:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/img/favicon.ico" />

Note the / before img to ensure it is anchored to the root folder.

How to get ERD diagram for an existing database?

pgModeler can generate nice ER diagram from PostgreSQL databases.

It seems there is no manual, but it is easy enough without manual. It's QT application. AFAIK, Fedora and Ubuntu has package. (pgmodeler)

In the latest version of pgModeler (0.9.1) the trial version allows you to create ERD (the design button is not disabled). To do so:

  1. Click Design button to first create an empty 'design model'
  2. Then click on Import and connect to the server and database you want (unless you already set that up in Manage, in which case all your databases will be available to select in step 3)
  3. Import all objects (it will warn that you are importing to the current model, which is fine since it is empty).
  4. Now switch back to the Design tab to see your ERD.

Renaming a directory in C#

There is an error in XML document (1, 41)

Ensure your Message class looks like below:

[Serializable, XmlRoot("Message")]
public class Message
{
    public string FirstName { get; set; }

    public string LastName { get; set; }
}

This works for me fine:

string xml = File.ReadAllText("c:\\Message.xml");
var result = DeserializeFromXml<Message>(xml);

MSDN, XmlRoot.ElementName:

The name of the XML root element that is generated and recognized in an XML-document instance. The default is the name of the serialized class.

So it might be your class name is not Message and this is why deserializer was not able find it using default behaviour.

Python pip install module is not found. How to link python to pip location?

Here is something I learnt after a long time of having issues with pip when I had several versions of Python installed (valid especially for OS X users which are probably using brew to install python blends.)

I assume that most python developers do have at the beginning of their scripts:

#!/bin/env python

You may be surprised to find out that this is not necessarily the same python as the one you run from the command line >python

To be sure you install the package using the correct pip instance for your python interpreter you need to run something like:

>/bin/env python -m pip install --upgrade mymodule

How to get SQL from Hibernate Criteria API (*not* for logging)

For those using NHibernate, this is a port of [ram]'s code

public static string GenerateSQL(ICriteria criteria)
    {
        NHibernate.Impl.CriteriaImpl criteriaImpl = (NHibernate.Impl.CriteriaImpl)criteria;
        NHibernate.Engine.ISessionImplementor session = criteriaImpl.Session;
        NHibernate.Engine.ISessionFactoryImplementor factory = session.Factory;

        NHibernate.Loader.Criteria.CriteriaQueryTranslator translator = 
            new NHibernate.Loader.Criteria.CriteriaQueryTranslator(
                factory, 
                criteriaImpl, 
                criteriaImpl.EntityOrClassName, 
                NHibernate.Loader.Criteria.CriteriaQueryTranslator.RootSqlAlias);

        String[] implementors = factory.GetImplementors(criteriaImpl.EntityOrClassName);

        NHibernate.Loader.Criteria.CriteriaJoinWalker walker = new NHibernate.Loader.Criteria.CriteriaJoinWalker(

A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server

Sql Server fire this error when your application don't have enough rights to access the database. there are several reason about this error . To fix this error you should follow the following instruction.

  1. Try to connect sql server from your server using management studio . if you use windows authentication to connect sql server then set your application pool identity to server administrator .

  2. if you use sql server authentication then check you connection string in web.config of your web application and set user id and password of sql server which allows you to log in .

  3. if your database in other server(access remote database) then first of enable remote access of sql server form sql server property from sql server management studio and enable TCP/IP form sql server configuration manager .

  4. after doing all these stuff and you still can't access the database then check firewall of server form where you are trying to access the database and add one rule in firewall to enable port of sql server(by default sql server use 1433 , to check port of sql server you need to check sql server configuration manager network protocol TCP/IP port).

  5. if your sql server is running on named instance then you need to write port number with sql serer name for example 117.312.21.21/nameofsqlserver,1433.

  6. If you are using cloud hosting like amazon aws or microsoft azure then server or instance will running behind cloud firewall so you need to enable 1433 port in cloud firewall if you have default instance or specific port for sql server for named instance.

  7. If you are using amazon RDS or SQL azure then you need to enable port from security group of that instance.

  8. If you are accessing sql server through sql server authentication mode them make sure you enabled "SQL Server and Windows Authentication Mode" sql server instance property. enter image description here

    1. Restart your sql server instance after making any changes in property as some changes will require restart.

if you further face any difficulty then you need to provide more information about your web site and sql server .

JSON to PHP Array using file_get_contents

You JSON is not a valid string as P. Galbraith has told you above.

and here is the solution for it.

<?php 
$json_url = "http://api.testmagazine.com/test.php?type=menu";
$json = file_get_contents($json_url);
$json=str_replace('},

]',"}

]",$json);
$data = json_decode($json);

echo "<pre>";
print_r($data);
echo "</pre>";
?>

Use this code it will work for you.

How to prevent custom views from losing state across screen orientation changes

The answers here already are great, but don't necessarily work for custom ViewGroups. To get all custom Views to retain their state, you must override onSaveInstanceState() and onRestoreInstanceState(Parcelable state) in each class. You also need to ensure they all have unique ids, whether they're inflated from xml or added programmatically.

What I came up with was remarkably like Kobor42's answer, but the error remained because I was adding the Views to a custom ViewGroup programmatically and not assigning unique ids.

The link shared by mato will work, but it means none of the individual Views manage their own state - the entire state is saved in the ViewGroup methods.

The problem is that when multiple of these ViewGroups are added to a layout, the ids of their elements from the xml are no longer unique (if its defined in xml). At runtime, you can call the static method View.generateViewId() to get a unique id for a View. This is only available from API 17.

Here is my code from the ViewGroup (it is abstract, and mOriginalValue is a type variable):

public abstract class DetailRow<E> extends LinearLayout {

    private static final String SUPER_INSTANCE_STATE = "saved_instance_state_parcelable";
    private static final String STATE_VIEW_IDS = "state_view_ids";
    private static final String STATE_ORIGINAL_VALUE = "state_original_value";

    private E mOriginalValue;
    private int[] mViewIds;

// ...

    @Override
    protected Parcelable onSaveInstanceState() {

        // Create a bundle to put super parcelable in
        Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
        bundle.putParcelable(SUPER_INSTANCE_STATE, super.onSaveInstanceState());
        // Use abstract method to put mOriginalValue in the bundle;
        putValueInTheBundle(mOriginalValue, bundle, STATE_ORIGINAL_VALUE);
        // Store mViewIds in the bundle - initialize if necessary.
        if (mViewIds == null) {
            // We need as many ids as child views
            mViewIds = new int[getChildCount()];
            for (int i = 0; i < mViewIds.length; i++) {
                // generate a unique id for each view
                mViewIds[i] = View.generateViewId();
                // assign the id to the view at the same index
                getChildAt(i).setId(mViewIds[i]);
            }
        }
        bundle.putIntArray(STATE_VIEW_IDS, mViewIds);
        // return the bundle
        return bundle;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onRestoreInstanceState(Parcelable state) {

        // We know state is a Bundle:
        Bundle bundle = (Bundle) state;
        // Get mViewIds out of the bundle
        mViewIds = bundle.getIntArray(STATE_VIEW_IDS);
        // For each id, assign to the view of same index
        if (mViewIds != null) {
            for (int i = 0; i < mViewIds.length; i++) {
                getChildAt(i).setId(mViewIds[i]);
            }
        }
        // Get mOriginalValue out of the bundle
        mOriginalValue = getValueBackOutOfTheBundle(bundle, STATE_ORIGINAL_VALUE);
        // get super parcelable back out of the bundle and pass it to
        // super.onRestoreInstanceState(Parcelable)
        state = bundle.getParcelable(SUPER_INSTANCE_STATE);
        super.onRestoreInstanceState(state);
    } 
}

Permanently hide Navigation Bar in an activity

My solution, to only hide the navigation bar, is:

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    final View decorView = getWindow().getDecorView();
    decorView.setOnSystemUiVisibilityChangeListener (new View.OnSystemUiVisibilityChangeListener() {
        @Override
        public void onSystemUiVisibilityChange(int visibility) {
            if ((visibility & View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_FULLSCREEN) == 0) {
                decorView.setSystemUiVisibility(
                        View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE
                                | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_HIDE_NAVIGATION
                                | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION
                                | View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_IMMERSIVE_STICKY);
            }
        }
    });
}

@Override
protected void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    final int uiOptions = View.SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_HIDE_NAVIGATION;
    final View decorView = getWindow().getDecorView();
    decorView.setSystemUiVisibility(uiOptions);
}

Android: alternate layout xml for landscape mode

You can group your specific layout under the correct folder structure as follows.

layout-land-target_version

ie

layout-land-19 // target KitKat

likewise you can create your layouts.

Hope this will help you

Is it more efficient to copy a vector by reserving and copying, or by creating and swapping?

This is another valid way to make a copy of a vector, just use its constructor:

std::vector<int> newvector(oldvector);

This is even simpler than using std::copy to walk the entire vector from start to finish to std::back_insert them into the new vector.

That being said, your .swap() one is not a copy, instead it swaps the two vectors. You would modify the original to not contain anything anymore! Which is not a copy.

Working Soap client example

Calculator SOAP service test from SoapUI, Online SoapClient Calculator

Generate the SoapMessage object form the input SoapEnvelopeXML and SoapDataXml.

SoapEnvelopeXML

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <tem:Add xmlns:tem="http://tempuri.org/">
         <tem:intA>3</tem:intA>
         <tem:intB>4</tem:intB>
      </tem:Add>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

use the following code to get SoapMessage Object.

MessageFactory messageFactory = MessageFactory.newInstance();
    MimeHeaders headers = new MimeHeaders();
    ByteArrayInputStream xmlByteStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(SoapEnvelopeXML.getBytes());
SOAPMessage soapMsg = messageFactory.createMessage(headers, xmlByteStream);

SoapDataXml

<tem:Add xmlns:tem="http://tempuri.org/">
    <tem:intA>3</tem:intA>
    <tem:intB>4</tem:intB>
</tem:Add>

use below code to get SoapMessage Object.

public static SOAPMessage getSOAPMessagefromDataXML(String saopBodyXML) throws Exception {
    DocumentBuilderFactory dbFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
    dbFactory.setNamespaceAware(true);
    dbFactory.setIgnoringComments(true);
    DocumentBuilder dBuilder = dbFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
    InputSource ips = new org.xml.sax.InputSource(new StringReader(saopBodyXML));
    Document docBody = dBuilder.parse(ips);
    System.out.println("Data Document: "+docBody.getDocumentElement());
    
    MessageFactory messageFactory = MessageFactory.newInstance(SOAPConstants.SOAP_1_2_PROTOCOL);
    SOAPMessage soapMsg = messageFactory.createMessage();
    
    SOAPBody soapBody = soapMsg.getSOAPPart().getEnvelope().getBody();
    soapBody.addDocument(docBody);
    
    return soapMsg;
}

By getting the SoapMessage Object. It is clear that the Soap XML is valid. Then prepare to hit the service to get response. It can be done in many ways.

  1. Using Client Code Generated form WSDL.
java.net.URL endpointURL = new java.net.URL(endPointUrl);
javax.xml.rpc.Service service = new org.apache.axis.client.Service();
((org.apache.axis.client.Service) service).setTypeMappingVersion("1.2");
CalculatorSoap12Stub obj_axis = new CalculatorSoap12Stub(endpointURL, service);
int add = obj_axis.add(10, 20);
System.out.println("Response: "+ add);
  1. Using javax.xml.soap.SOAPConnection.
public static void getSOAPConnection(SOAPMessage soapMsg) throws Exception {
    System.out.println("===== SOAPConnection =====");
    MimeHeaders headers = soapMsg.getMimeHeaders(); // new MimeHeaders();
    headers.addHeader("SoapBinding",   serverDetails.get("SoapBinding") );
    headers.addHeader("MethodName",    serverDetails.get("MethodName") );
    headers.addHeader("SOAPAction",    serverDetails.get("SOAPAction") );
    headers.addHeader("Content-Type",  serverDetails.get("Content-Type"));
    headers.addHeader("Accept-Encoding", serverDetails.get("Accept-Encoding"));
    if (soapMsg.saveRequired()) {
        soapMsg.saveChanges();
    }
    
    SOAPConnectionFactory newInstance = SOAPConnectionFactory.newInstance();
    javax.xml.soap.SOAPConnection connection = newInstance.createConnection();
    SOAPMessage soapMsgResponse = connection.call(soapMsg, getURL( serverDetails.get("SoapServerURI"), 5*1000 ));
    
    getSOAPXMLasString(soapMsgResponse);
}
