Programs & Examples On #Deferred

Deferred objects simplify callback management in an asynchronous environment, mitigating the "Pyramid of Doom" that results from too many levels of nested callbacks.

What are the differences between Deferred, Promise and Future in JavaScript?

A Promise represents a proxy for a value not necessarily known when the promise is created. It allows you to associate handlers to an asynchronous action's eventual success value or failure reason. This lets asynchronous methods return values like synchronous methods: instead of the final value, the asynchronous method returns a promise of having a value at some point in the future.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise

The deferred.promise() method allows an asynchronous function to prevent other code from interfering with the progress or status of its internal request. The Promise exposes only the Deferred methods needed to attach additional handlers or determine the state (then, done, fail, always, pipe, progress, state and promise), but not ones that change the state (resolve, reject, notify, resolveWith, rejectWith, and notifyWith).

If target is provided, deferred.promise() will attach the methods onto it and then return this object rather than create a new one. This can be useful to attach the Promise behavior to an object that already exists.

If you are creating a Deferred, keep a reference to the Deferred so that it can be resolved or rejected at some point. Return only the Promise object via deferred.promise() so other code can register callbacks or inspect the current state.

Simply we can say that a Promise represents a value that is not yet known where as a Deferred represents work that is not yet finished.

How does numpy.newaxis work and when to use it?

You started with a one-dimensional list of numbers. Once you used numpy.newaxis, you turned it into a two-dimensional matrix, consisting of four rows of one column each.

You could then use that matrix for matrix multiplication, or involve it in the construction of a larger 4 x n matrix.

Removing header column from pandas dataframe

How to get rid of a header(first row) and an index(first column).

To write to CSV file:

df = pandas.DataFrame(your_array)
df.to_csv('your_array.csv', header=False, index=False)

To read from CSV file:

df = pandas.read_csv('your_array.csv')
a = df.values

If you want to read a CSV file that doesn't contain a header, pass additional parameter header:

df = pandas.read_csv('your_array.csv', header=None)

Python loop that also accesses previous and next values

Solutions until now only deal with lists, and most are copying the list. In my experience a lot of times that isn't possible.

Also, they don't deal with the fact that you can have repeated elements in the list.

The title of your question says "Previous and next values inside a loop", but if you run most answers here inside a loop, you'll end up iterating over the entire list again on each element to find it.

So I've just created a function that. using the itertools module, splits and slices the iterable, and generates tuples with the previous and next elements together. Not exactly what your code does, but it is worth taking a look, because it can probably solve your problem.

from itertools import tee, islice, chain, izip

def previous_and_next(some_iterable):
    prevs, items, nexts = tee(some_iterable, 3)
    prevs = chain([None], prevs)
    nexts = chain(islice(nexts, 1, None), [None])
    return izip(prevs, items, nexts)

Then use it in a loop, and you'll have previous and next items in it:

mylist = ['banana', 'orange', 'apple', 'kiwi', 'tomato']

for previous, item, nxt in previous_and_next(mylist):
    print "Item is now", item, "next is", nxt, "previous is", previous

The results:

Item is now banana next is orange previous is None
Item is now orange next is apple previous is banana
Item is now apple next is kiwi previous is orange
Item is now kiwi next is tomato previous is apple
Item is now tomato next is None previous is kiwi

It'll work with any size list (because it doesn't copy the list), and with any iterable (files, sets, etc). This way you can just iterate over the sequence, and have the previous and next items available inside the loop. No need to search again for the item in the sequence.

A short explanation of the code:

  • tee is used to efficiently create 3 independent iterators over the input sequence
  • chain links two sequences into one; it's used here to append a single-element sequence [None] to prevs
  • islice is used to make a sequence of all elements except the first, then chain is used to append a None to its end
  • There are now 3 independent sequences based on some_iterable that look like:
    • prevs: None, A, B, C, D, E
    • items: A, B, C, D, E
    • nexts: B, C, D, E, None
  • finally izip is used to change 3 sequences into one sequence of triplets.

Note that izip stops when any input sequence gets exhausted, so the last element of prevs will be ignored, which is correct - there's no such element that the last element would be its prev. We could try to strip off the last elements from prevs but izip's behaviour makes that redundant

Also note that tee, izip, islice and chain come from the itertools module; they operate on their input sequences on-the-fly (lazily), which makes them efficient and doesn't introduce the need of having the whole sequence in memory at once at any time.

In python 3, it will show an error while importing izip,you can use zip instead of izip. No need to import zip, it is predefined in python 3 - source

AngularJS Multiple ng-app within a page

To run multiple applications in an HTML document you must manually bootstrap them using angular.bootstrap()

HTML

<!-- Automatic Initialization -->
<div ng-app="myFirstModule">
    ...
</div>
<!-- Need To Manually Bootstrap All Other Modules -->
<div id="module2">
    ...
</div>

JS

angular.
  bootstrap(document.getElementById("module2"), ['mySecondModule']);

The reason for this is that only one AngularJS application can be automatically bootstrapped per HTML document. The first ng-app found in the document will be used to define the root element to auto-bootstrap as an application.

In other words, while it is technically possible to have several applications per page, only one ng-app directive will be automatically instantiated and initialized by the Angular framework.

Put buttons at bottom of screen with LinearLayout?

You need to ensure four things:

  • Your outside LinearLayout has layout_height="match_parent"
  • Your inside LinearLayout has layout_weight="1" and layout_height="0dp"
  • Your TextView has layout_weight="0"
  • You've set the gravity properly on your inner LinearLayout: android:gravity="center|bottom"

Notice that fill_parent does not mean "take up all available space". However, if you use layout_height="0dp" with layout_weight="1", then a view will take up all available space (Can't get proper layout with "fill_parent").

Here is some code I quickly wrote up that uses two LinearLayouts in a similar fashion to your code.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/db1_root"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView1"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:text="@string/cow"
        android:layout_weight="0"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="0dip"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:gravity="center|bottom"
        android:orientation="vertical" >

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/button1"
            style="?android:attr/buttonStyleSmall"
            android:layout_width="145dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal|center"
            android:text="1" />

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/button2"
            style="?android:attr/buttonStyleSmall"
            android:layout_width="145dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal|center"
            android:text="2" />

        <Button
            android:id="@+id/button3"
            style="?android:attr/buttonStyleSmall"
            android:layout_width="145dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal|center"
            android:text="3" />
    </LinearLayout>

</LinearLayout>

The result looks like similar to this:

Can anyone confirm that phpMyAdmin AllowNoPassword works with MySQL databases?

You might have made the same silly mistake that I did, by not removing the // making it a comment.

The line should be like this, but not as a comment.

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowNoPassword'] = TRUE;

javascript if number greater than number

You're comparing strings. JavaScript compares the ASCII code for each character of the string.

To see why you get false, look at the charCodes:

"1300".charCodeAt(0);
49
"999".charCodeAt(0);
57

The comparison is false because, when comparing the strings, the character codes for 1 is not greater than that of 9.

The fix is to treat the strings as numbers. You can use a number of methods:

parseInt(string, radix)
parseInt("1300", 10);
> 1300 - notice the lack of quotes


+"1300"
> 1300


Number("1300")
> 1300

python: unhashable type error

As Jim Garrison said in the comment, no obvious reason why you'd make a one-element list out of drug.upper() (which implies drug is a string).

But that's not your error, as your function medications_minimum3() doesn't even use the second argument (something you should fix).

TypeError: unhashable type: 'list' usually means that you are trying to use a list as a hash argument (like for accessing a dictionary). I'd look for the error in counter[row[11]]+=1 -- are you sure that row[11] is of the right type? Sounds to me it might be a list.

How do I create a local database inside of Microsoft SQL Server 2014?

Warning! SQL Server 14 Express, SQL Server Management Studio, and SQL 2014 LocalDB are separate downloads, make sure you actually installed SQL Server and not just the Management Studio! SQL Server 14 express with LocalDB download link

Youtube video about entire process.
Writeup with pictures about installing SQL Server

How to select a local server:

When you are asked to connect to a 'database server' right when you open up SQL Server Management Studio do this:

1) Make sure you have Server Type: Database

2) Make sure you have Authentication: Windows Authentication (no username & password)

3) For the server name field look to the right and select the drop down arrow, click 'browse for more'

4) New window pops up 'Browse for Servers', make sure to pick 'Local Servers' tab and under 'Database Engine' you will have the local server you set up during installation of SQL Server 14

How do I create a local database inside of Microsoft SQL Server 2014?

1) After you have connected to a server, bring up the Object Explorer toolbar under 'View' (Should open by default)

2) Now simply right click on 'Databases' and then 'Create new Database' to be taken through the database creation tools!

Switch on ranges of integers in JavaScript

This does not require a switch statement. It is clearer, more concise, faster, and optimises better, to use if else statements...

var d = this.dealer;
if (1 <= d && d <= 11) { // making sure in range 1..11
    if (d <= 4) {
        alert("1 to 4");
    } else if (d <= 8) {
        alert("5 to 8");
    } else {
        alert("9 to 11");
    }
} else {
    alert("not in range");
}

Speed test

I was curious about the overhead of using a switch instead of the simpler if...else..., so I put together a jsFiddle to examine it... http://jsfiddle.net/17x9w1eL/

  • Chrome: switch was around 70% slower than if else

  • Firefox: switch was around 5% slower than if else

  • IE: switch was around 5% slower than if else

  • Safari: switch was around 95% slower than if else

Notes:

Assigning to the local variable is optional, especially if your code is going to be automatically optimised later.

For numeric ranges, I like to use this kind of construction...

if (1 <= d && d <= 11) {...}

... because to me it reads closer to the way you would express a range in maths (1 <= d <= 11), and when I'm reading the code, I can read that as "if d is between 1 and 11".

Clearer

A few people don't think this is clearer. I'd say it is not less clear as the structure is close to identical to the switch option. The main reason it is clearer is that every part of it is readable and makes simple intuitive sense.

My concern, with "switch (true)", is that it can appear to be a meaningless line of code. Many coders, reading that will not know what to make of it.

For my own code, I'm more willing to use obscure structures from time to time, but if anyone else will look at it, I try to use clearer constructs. I think it is better to use the constructs for what they are intended.

Optimisation

In a modern environment, code is often going to be minified for production, so you can write clear concise code, with readable variable names and helpful comments. There's no clear reason to use switch in this way.

I also tried putting both constructs through a minifier. The if/else structure compresses well, becoming a single short expression using nested ternary operators. The switch statement when minified remains a switch, complete with "switch", "case" and "break" tokens, and as a result is considerably longer in code.

How switch(true) works

I think "switch(true) is obscure, but it seems some people just want to use it, so here's an explanation of why it works...

A switch/case statement works by matching the part in the switch with each case, and then executing the code on the first match. In most use cases, we have a variable or non-constant expression in the switch, and then match it.

With "switch(true), we will find the first expression in the case statements that is true. If you read "switch (true)" as "find the first expression that is true", the code feels more readable.

Rails: Missing host to link to! Please provide :host parameter or set default_url_options[:host]

I had this same error. I had everything written in correctly, including the Listing 10.13 from the tutorial.

Rails.application.configure do
.
.
.
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true
config.action_mailer.delevery_method :test
host = 'example.com'
config.action_mailer.default_url_options = { host: host }
.
.
.
end

obviously with "example.com" replaced with my server url.

What I had glossed over in the tutorial was this line:

After restarting the development server to activate the configuration...

So the answer for me was to turn the server off and back on again.

Force uninstall of Visual Studio

If you don't have media, doing a dir /s vs_ultimate.exe from the root prompt will find it. Mine was in C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\{[guid]}. Once I navigated there and ran vs_ultimate.exe with the /uninstall and /force flags, the uninstaller ran

I opened the program "Command Prompt" with as administrator and search run "dir /s vs_ultimate.exe" in ProgramData folder and find path to vs_ultimate.exe file.

Then I changed my working directory to that path and ran vs_ultimate.exe /uninstall /force.

Finally its done.

React - Display loading screen while DOM is rendering?

I had to deal with that problem recently and came up with a solution, which works just fine for me. However, I've tried @Ori Drori solution above and unfortunately it didn't work just right (had some delays + I don't like the usage of setTimeout function there).

This is what I came up with:

index.html file

Inside head tag - styles for the indicator:

<style media="screen" type="text/css">

.loading {
  -webkit-animation: sk-scaleout 1.0s infinite ease-in-out;
  animation: sk-scaleout 1.0s infinite ease-in-out;
  background-color: black;
  border-radius: 100%;
  height: 6em;
  width: 6em;
}

.container {
  align-items: center;
  background-color: white;
  display: flex;
  height: 100vh;
  justify-content: center;
  width: 100vw;
}

@keyframes sk-scaleout {
  0% {
    -webkit-transform: scale(0);
    transform: scale(0);
  }
  100% {
    -webkit-transform: scale(1.0);
    opacity: 0;
    transform: scale(1.0);
  }
}

</style>

Now the body tag:

<div id="spinner" class="container">
  <div class="loading"></div>
</div>

<div id="app"></div>

And then comes a very simple logic, inside app.js file (in the render function):

const spinner = document.getElementById('spinner');

if (spinner && !spinner.hasAttribute('hidden')) {
  spinner.setAttribute('hidden', 'true');
}

How does it work?

When the first component (in my app it's app.js aswell in most cases) mounts correctly, the spinner is being hidden with applying hidden attribute to it.

What's more important to add - !spinner.hasAttribute('hidden') condition prevents to add hidden attribute to the spinner with every component mount, so actually it will be added only one time, when whole app loads.

Java: How to access methods from another class

You need to somehow give class Alpha a reference to cBeta. There are three ways of doing this.

1) Give Alphas a Beta in the constructor. In class Alpha write:

public class Alpha {
   private Beta beta;
   public Alpha(Beta beta) {
     this.beta = beta; 
   }

and call cAlpha = new Alpha(cBeta) from main()

2) give Alphas a mutator that gives them a beta. In class Alpha write:

public class Alpha {
   private Beta beta;
   public void setBeta (Beta newBeta) {
     this.beta = beta;
   }

and call cAlpha = new Alpha(); cAlpha.setBeta(beta); from main(), or

3) have a beta as an argument to doSomethingAlpha. in class Alpha write:

public void DoSomethingAlpha(Beta cBeta) {
      cbeta.DoSomethingBeta()
}

Which strategy you use depends on a few things. If you want every single Alpha to have a Beta, use number 1. If you want only some Alphas to have a Beta, but you want them to hold onto their Betas indefinitely, use number 2. If you want Alphas to deal with Betas only while you're calling doSomethingAlpha, use number 3. Variable scope is complicated at first, but it gets easier when you get the hang of it. Let me know if you have any more questions!

TypeError: method() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

It occurs when you don't specify the no of parameters the __init__() or any other method looking for.

For example:

class Dog:
    def __init__(self):
        print("IN INIT METHOD")

    def __unicode__(self,):
        print("IN UNICODE METHOD")

    def __str__(self):
        print("IN STR METHOD")

obj=Dog("JIMMY",1,2,3,"WOOF")

When you run the above programme, it gives you an error like that:

TypeError: __init__() takes 1 positional argument but 6 were given

How we can get rid of this thing?

Just pass the parameters, what __init__() method looking for

class Dog:
    def __init__(self, dogname, dob_d, dob_m, dob_y, dogSpeakText):
        self.name_of_dog = dogname
        self.date_of_birth = dob_d
        self.month_of_birth = dob_m
        self.year_of_birth = dob_y
        self.sound_it_make = dogSpeakText

    def __unicode__(self, ):
        print("IN UNICODE METHOD")

    def __str__(self):
        print("IN STR METHOD")


obj = Dog("JIMMY", 1, 2, 3, "WOOF")
print(id(obj))

How to get the PID of a process by giving the process name in Mac OS X ?

This solution matches the process name more strictly:

ps -Ac -o pid,comm | awk '/^ *[0-9]+ Dropbox$/ {print $1}'

This solution has the following advantages:

  • it ignores command line arguments like tail -f ~/Dropbox
  • it ignores processes inside a directory like ~/Dropbox/foo.sh
  • it ignores processes with names like ~/DropboxUID.sh

    int month = calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH);
    int day = calendar.get(Calendar.DATE);
    calendar.setTimeInMillis(0);
    calendar.set(year, month, day, 0, 0, 0);
    return calendar.getTime();
    }

private Date getEndOfDay(Date date) {
    Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
    int year = calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR);
    int month = calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH);
    int day = calendar.get(Calendar.DATE);
    calendar.setTimeInMillis(0);
    calendar.set(year, month, day, 23, 59, 59);
    return calendar.getTime();
    }

calendar.setTimeInMillis(0); gives you accuracy upto milliseconds

How to open/run .jar file (double-click not working)?

Checking letter case (Upper/Lower) within a string in Java

A loop like this one:

else if (!(Character.isLowerCase(ch)))
            {
                for (int i=1; i<password.length(); i++)
                {
                   ch = password.charAt(i);

                    if (!Character.isLowerCase(ch))
                       {  
                        System.out.println("Invalid password - Must have a Lower Case character.");
                        password = "";
                       }
                     // end if
                } //end for
            }

Has an obvious logical flaw: You enter it if the first character is not lowercase, then test if the second character is not lower case. At that point you throw an error.

Instead, you should do something like this (not full code, just an example):

boolean hasLower = false, hasUpper = false, hasNumber = false, hasSpecial = false; // etc - all the rules
for ( ii = 0; ii < password.length(); ii++ ) {
  ch = password.charAt(ii);
  // check each rule in turn, with code like this:
  if Character.isLowerCase(ch) hasLower = true;
  if Character.isUpperCase(ch) hasUpper = true;
  // ... etc for all the tests you want to do
}

if(hasLower && hasUpper && ...) {
  // password is good
} 
else {
  // password is bad
}

Of course the code snippet you provided, besides the faulty logic, did not have code to test for the other conditions that your "help" option printed out. As was pointed out in one of the other answers, you could consider using regular expressions to help you speed up the process of finding each of these things. For example,

hasNumber  : use regex pattern "\d+" for "find at least one digit"
hasSpecial : use regex pattern "[!@#$%^&*]+" for "find at least one of these characters"

In code:

hasNumber  = password.matches(".*\\d.*");  // "a digit with anything before or after"
hasSpecial = password.matches(".*[!@#$%^&*].*");
hasNoNOT   = !password.matches(".*NOT.*");
hasNoAND   = !password.matches(".*AND.*");

It is possible to combine these things in clever ways - but especially when you are a novice regex user, it is much better to be a little bit "slow and tedious", and get code that works first time (plus you will be able to figure out what you did six months from now).

Android: TextView: Remove spacing and padding on top and bottom

This annoyed me too, and the answer I found was that there is actually additional space in the font itself, not the TextView. It is rather irritating, coming from a document publishing background, the limited amount of control you have with Android over typographic elements. I'd recommend using a custom typeface (such as Bitstream Vera Sans, which is licensed for redistribution) that may not have this issue. I'm not sure specifically whether or not it does, though.

How long to brute force a salted SHA-512 hash? (salt provided)

There isn't a single answer to this question as there are too many variables, but SHA2 is not yet really cracked (see: Lifetimes of cryptographic hash functions) so it is still a good algorithm to use to store passwords in. The use of salt is good because it prevents attack from dictionary attacks or rainbow tables. Importance of a salt is that it should be unique for each password. You can use a format like [128-bit salt][512-bit password hash] when storing the hashed passwords.

The only viable way to attack is to actually calculate hashes for different possibilities of password and eventually find the right one by matching the hashes.

To give an idea about how many hashes can be done in a second, I think Bitcoin is a decent example. Bitcoin uses SHA256 and to cut it short, the more hashes you generate, the more bitcoins you get (which you can trade for real money) and as such people are motivated to use GPUs for this purpose. You can see in the hardware overview that an average graphic card that costs only $150 can calculate more than 200 million hashes/s. The longer and more complex your password is, the longer time it will take. Calculating at 200M/s, to try all possibilities for an 8 character alphanumberic (capital, lower, numbers) will take around 300 hours. The real time will most likely less if the password is something eligible or a common english word.

As such with anything security you need to look at in context. What is the attacker's motivation? What is the kind of application? Having a hash with random salt for each gives pretty good protection against cases where something like thousands of passwords are compromised.

One thing you can do is also add additional brute force protection by slowing down the hashing procedure. As you only hash passwords once, and the attacker has to do it many times, this works in your favor. The typical way to do is to take a value, hash it, take the output, hash it again and so forth for a fixed amount of iterations. You can try something like 1,000 or 10,000 iterations for example. This will make it that many times times slower for the attacker to find each password.

How to do multiline shell script in Ansible

What exactly is Spring Framework for?

Spring is great for gluing instances of classes together. You know that your Hibernate classes are always going to need a datasource, Spring wires them together (and has an implementation of the datasource too).

Your data access objects will always need Hibernate access, Spring wires the Hibernate classes into your DAOs for you.

Additionally, Spring basically gives you solid configurations of a bunch of libraries, and in that, gives you guidance in what libs you should use.

Spring is really a great tool. (I wasn't talking about Spring MVC, just the base framework).

Convert php array to Javascript

I'm going to assume that the two arrays you've given for PHP and JS are not related, and they're just examples of how arrays look in the two languages. Clearly you're not going to be able to convert those sequences of letters and numbers into those city names.

PHP provides a function to convert PHP arrays into Javascript code: json_encode(). (technically, it's JSON format; JSON stands for JavaScript Object Notation)

Use it like this:

<script type='text/javascript'>
<?php
$php_array = array('abc','def','ghi');
$js_array = json_encode($php_array);
echo "var javascript_array = ". $js_array . ";\n";
?>
</script>

See also the manual page I linked above for more information.

Note that json_encode() is only available in PHP 5.2 and up, so if you're using an older version, you'll need to use an existing one -- the PHP manual page also includes comments with functions written by people who needed it. (but that said, if you're using anything older than PHP 5.2 you should upgrade ASAP)

Install a JDK.

It's possible to get Eclipse to run with a JRE, or at least it used to be, but why bother? Eclipse is much happier with a JDK.

Remember that the JRE that is used to run Eclipse does not have to be the JRE that Eclipse uses to run an application.

PS. I'm assuming here that the original poster's problem was getting Eclipse to start, and not (as some other Answers seem to address) getting Eclipse to start an application.

Maximum concurrent connections to MySQL

As per the MySQL docs: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/server-system-variables.html#sysvar_max_user_connections

 maximum range: 4,294,967,295  (e.g. 2**32 - 1)

You'd probably run out of memory, file handles, and network sockets, on your server long before you got anywhere close to that limit.

How can I use the MS JDBC driver with MS SQL Server 2008 Express?

The latest JDBC MSSQL connectivity driver can be found on JDBC 4.0

The class file should be in the classpath. If you are using eclipse you can easily do the same by doing the following -->

Right Click Project Name --> Properties --> Java Build Path --> Libraries --> Add External Jars

Also as already been pointed out by @Cheeso the correct way to access is jdbc:sqlserver://server:port;DatabaseName=dbname

Meanwhile please find a sample class for accessing MSSQL DB (2008 in my case).

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.Statement;

public class ConnectMSSQLServer
{
   public void dbConnect(String db_connect_string,
            String db_userid,
            String db_password)
   {
      try {
         Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver");
         Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(db_connect_string,
                  db_userid, db_password);
         System.out.println("connected");
         Statement statement = conn.createStatement();
         String queryString = "select * from SampleTable";
         ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery(queryString);
         while (rs.next()) {
            System.out.println(rs.getString(1));
         }
         conn.close();
      } catch (Exception e) {
         e.printStackTrace();

      connServer.dbConnect("jdbc:sqlserver://xx.xx.xx.xxxx:1433;databaseName=MyDBName", "DB_USER","DB_PASSWORD");
   }
}

Get value from input (AngularJS)

If you want to get values in Javascript on frontend, you can use the native way to do it by using :

document.getElementsByName("movie")[0].value;

Where "movie" is the name of your input <input type="text" name="movie">

If you want to get it on angular.js controller, you can use;

$scope.movie

Finding local maxima/minima with Numpy in a 1D numpy array

Another approach (more words, less code) that may help:

The locations of local maxima and minima are also the locations of the zero crossings of the first derivative. It is generally much easier to find zero crossings than it is to directly find local maxima and minima.

Unfortunately, the first derivative tends to "amplify" noise, so when significant noise is present in the original data, the first derivative is best used only after the original data has had some degree of smoothing applied.

Since smoothing is, in the simplest sense, a low pass filter, the smoothing is often best (well, most easily) done by using a convolution kernel, and "shaping" that kernel can provide a surprising amount of feature-preserving/enhancing capability. The process of finding an optimal kernel can be automated using a variety of means, but the best may be simple brute force (plenty fast for finding small kernels). A good kernel will (as intended) massively distort the original data, but it will NOT affect the location of the peaks/valleys of interest.

Fortunately, quite often a suitable kernel can be created via a simple SWAG ("educated guess"). The width of the smoothing kernel should be a little wider than the widest expected "interesting" peak in the original data, and its shape will resemble that peak (a single-scaled wavelet). For mean-preserving kernels (what any good smoothing filter should be) the sum of the kernel elements should be precisely equal to 1.00, and the kernel should be symmetric about its center (meaning it will have an odd number of elements.

Given an optimal smoothing kernel (or a small number of kernels optimized for different data content), the degree of smoothing becomes a scaling factor for (the "gain" of) the convolution kernel.

Determining the "correct" (optimal) degree of smoothing (convolution kernel gain) can even be automated: Compare the standard deviation of the first derivative data with the standard deviation of the smoothed data. How the ratio of the two standard deviations changes with changes in the degree of smoothing cam be used to predict effective smoothing values. A few manual data runs (that are truly representative) should be all that's needed.

All the prior solutions posted above compute the first derivative, but they don't treat it as a statistical measure, nor do the above solutions attempt to performing feature preserving/enhancing smoothing (to help subtle peaks "leap above" the noise).

Finally, the bad news: Finding "real" peaks becomes a royal pain when the noise also has features that look like real peaks (overlapping bandwidth). The next more-complex solution is generally to use a longer convolution kernel (a "wider kernel aperture") that takes into account the relationship between adjacent "real" peaks (such as minimum or maximum rates for peak occurrence), or to use multiple convolution passes using kernels having different widths (but only if it is faster: it is a fundamental mathematical truth that linear convolutions performed in sequence can always be convolved together into a single convolution). But it is often far easier to first find a sequence of useful kernels (of varying widths) and convolve them together than it is to directly find the final kernel in a single step.

Hopefully this provides enough info to let Google (and perhaps a good stats text) fill in the gaps. I really wish I had the time to provide a worked example, or a link to one. If anyone comes across one online, please post it here!

How to write dynamic variable in Ansible playbook

I am sure there is a smarter way for doing what you want but this should work:

- name         : Test var
  hosts        : all
  gather_facts : no
  vars:
    myvariable : false
  tasks:
    - name: param1
      set_fact:
        myvariable: "{{param1}}"
      when: param1 is defined

    - name: param2
      set_fact:
        myvariable: "{{ param2 if not myvariable else myvariable + ',' + param2 }}"
      when: param2 is defined

    - name: param3
      set_fact:
        myvariable: "{{ param3 if not myvariable else myvariable + ',' + param3 }}"
      when: param3 is defined

    - name: default
      set_fact:
        myvariable: "default"
      when: not myvariable

    - debug:
       var=myvariable

Hope that helps. I am not sure if you can construct variables dynamically and do this in an iterator. But you could also write a small python code or any other language and plug it into ansible

How to know if a DateTime is between a DateRange in C#

Following on from Sergey's answer, I think this more generic version is more in line with Fowler's Range idea, and resolves some of the issues with that answer such as being able to have the Includes methods within a generic class by constraining T as IComparable<T>. It's also immutable like what you would expect with types that extend the functionality of other value types like DateTime.

public struct Range<T> where T : IComparable<T>
{
    public Range(T start, T end)
    {
        Start = start;
        End = end;
    }

    public T Start { get; }

    public T End { get; }

    public bool Includes(T value) => Start.CompareTo(value) <= 0 && End.CompareTo(value) >= 0;

    public bool Includes(Range<T> range) => Start.CompareTo(range.Start) <= 0 && End.CompareTo(range.End) >= 0;
}

Display special characters when using print statement

Do you merely want to print the string that way, or do you want that to be the internal representation of the string? If the latter, create it as a raw string by prefixing it with r: r"Hello\tWorld\nHello World".

>>> a = r"Hello\tWorld\nHello World"
>>> a # in the interpreter, this calls repr()
'Hello\\tWorld\\nHello World'
>>> print a
Hello\tWorld\nHello World

Also, \s is not an escape character, except in regular expressions, and then it still has a much different meaning than what you're using it for.

How to get complete month name from DateTime

If you want the current month you can use DateTime.Now.ToString("MMMM") to get the full month or DateTime.Now.ToString("MMM") to get an abbreviated month.

If you have some other date that you want to get the month string for, after it is loaded into a DateTime object, you can use the same functions off of that object:
dt.ToString("MMMM") to get the full month or dt.ToString("MMM") to get an abbreviated month.

Reference: Custom Date and Time Format Strings

Alternatively, if you need culture specific month names, then you could try these: DateTimeFormatInfo.GetAbbreviatedMonthName Method
DateTimeFormatInfo.GetMonthName Method

How to compile C program on command line using MinGW?

I once had this kind of problem installing MinGW to work in Windows, even after I added the right System PATH in my Environment Variables.

After days of misery, I finally stumbled on a thread that recommended uninstalling the original MinGW compiler and deleting the C:\MinGW folder and installing TDM-GCC MinGW compiler which can be found here.

You have options of choosing a 64/32-bit installer from the download page, and it creates the environment path variables for you too.

How can I run Tensorboard on a remote server?

While running the tensorboard give one more option --host=ip of your system and then you can access it from other system using http://ip of your host system:6006

Drop data frame columns by name

Beyond select(-one_of(drop_col_names)) demonstrated in earlier answers, there are a couple other dplyr options for dropping columns using select() that do not involve defining all the specific column names (using the dplyr starwars sample data for some variety in column names):

library(dplyr)
starwars %>% 
  select(-(name:mass)) %>%        # the range of columns from 'name' to 'mass'
  select(-contains('color')) %>%  # any column name that contains 'color'
  select(-starts_with('bi')) %>%  # any column name that starts with 'bi'
  select(-ends_with('er')) %>%    # any column name that ends with 'er'
  select(-matches('^f.+s$')) %>%  # any column name matching the regex pattern
  select_if(~!is.list(.)) %>%     # not by column name but by data type
  head(2)

# A tibble: 2 x 2
homeworld species
  <chr>     <chr>  
1 Tatooine  Human  
2 Tatooine  Droid 

If you need to drop a column that may or may not exist in the data frame, here's a slight twist using select_if() that unlike using one_of() will not throw an Unknown columns: warning if the column name does not exist. In this example 'bad_column' is not a column in the data frame:

starwars %>% 
  select_if(!names(.) %in% c('height', 'mass', 'bad_column'))

How to get the last characters in a String in Java, regardless of String size

String inputstr = "abcd: efg: 1006746"
int startindex = inputstr.length() - 10;
String outputtendigitstr = inputstr.substring(startindex);

Make sure you check string length is more than 10.

The program can't start because cygwin1.dll is missing... in Eclipse CDT

You can compile with either Cygwin's g++ or MinGW (via stand-alone or using Cygwin package). However, in order to run it, you need to add the Cygwin1.dll (and others) PATH to the system Windows PATH, before any cygwin style paths.

Thus add: ;C:\cygwin64\bin to the end of your Windows system PATH variable.

Also, to compile for use in CMD or PowerShell, you may need to use:

x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++.exe -static -std=c++11 prog_name.cc -o prog_name.exe

(This invokes the cross-compiler, if installed.)

How can I add a class to a DOM element in JavaScript?

var newItem = document.createElement('div');
newItem.style = ('background-color:red'); 
newItem.className = ('new_class');
newItem.innerHTML = ('<img src="./profitly_files/TimCover1_bigger.jpg" width=50 height=50> some long text with ticker $DDSSD');
var list = document.getElementById('x-auto-1');
list.insertBefore(newItem, list.childNodes[0]);

How do I use StringUtils in Java?

The mostly used StringUtils class is the Apache Commons Lang StringUtils (org.apache.commons.lang3.StringUtils). To use this class you first have to download the Apache Commons Lang3 package then you have to add it to your project libraries.

You can go to this link to get more details: http://examples.javacodegeeks.com/core-java/apache/commons/lang3/stringutils/org-apache-commons-lang3-stringutils-example/

angular ng-repeat in reverse

Useful tip:

You can reverse you're array with vanilla Js: yourarray .reverse()

Caution: reverse is destructive, so it will change youre array, not only the variable.

In Git, how do I figure out what my current revision is?

below will work with any previously pushed revision, not only HEAD

for abbreviated revision hash:

git log -1 --pretty=format:%h

for long revision hash:

git log -1 --pretty=format:%H

How to generate and validate a software license key?

You can use a free third party solution to handle this for you such as Quantum-Key.Net It's free and handles payments via paypal through a web sales page it creates for you, key issuing via email and locks key use to a specific computer to prevent piracy.

Your should also take care to obfuscate/encrypt your code or it can easily be reverse engineered using software such as De4dot and .NetReflector. A good free code obfuscator is ConfuserEx wich is fast and simple to use and more effective than expensive alternatives.

You should run your finished software through De4Dot and .NetReflector to reverse-engineer it and see what a cracker would see if they did the same thing and to make sure you have not left any important code exposed or undisguised.

Your software will still be crackable but for the casual cracker it may well be enough to put them off and these simple steps will also prevent your code being extracted and re-used.

How To Set A JS object property name from a variable

Use a variable as an object key

let key = 'myKey';

let data = {[key] : 'name1'; }

See How to iterete on your object here

the getSource() and getActionCommand()

The getActionCommand() method returns an String associated with that Component set through the setActionCommand() , whereas the getSource() method returns an Object of the Object class specifying the source of the event.

Assert that a WebElement is not present using Selenium WebDriver with java

Not an answer to the very question but perhaps an idea for the underlying task:

When your site logic should not show a certain element, you could insert an invisible "flag" element that you check for.

    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    QLabel label("<img src='image.jpg' />");
    label.show();
    return a.exec();

How to call another controller Action From a controller in Mvc

Dleh's answer is correct and explain how to get an instance of another controller without missing dependencies set up for IoC

However, we now need to call the method from this other controller.
Full answer would be :

var controller = DependencyResolver.Current.GetService<ControllerB>();
controller.ControllerContext = new ControllerContext(this.Request.RequestContext, controller);

//Call your method
ActionInvoker.InvokeAction(controller.ControllerContext, "MethodNameFromControllerB_ToCall");

How to get current user who's accessing an ASP.NET application?

You can simply use a property of the page. And the interesting thing is that you can access that property anywhere in your code.

Use this:

HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name

Can you put two conditions in an xslt test attribute?

It does have to be wrapped in an <xsl:choose> since it's a when. And lowercase the "and".

<xsl:choose>
   <xsl:when test="4 &lt; 5 and 1 &lt; 2" >
   <!-- do something -->
   </xsl:when>
   <xsl:otherwise>
   <!-- do something else -->
   </xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

Django: multiple models in one template using forms

I very recently had the some problem and just figured out how to do this. Assuming you have three classes, Primary, B, C and that B,C have a foreign key to primary

    class PrimaryForm(ModelForm):
        class Meta:
            model = Primary

    class BForm(ModelForm):
        class Meta:
            model = B
            exclude = ('primary',)

    class CForm(ModelForm):
         class Meta:
            model = C
            exclude = ('primary',)

    def generateView(request):
        if request.method == 'POST': # If the form has been submitted...
            primary_form = PrimaryForm(request.POST, prefix = "primary")
            b_form = BForm(request.POST, prefix = "b")
            c_form = CForm(request.POST, prefix = "c")
            if primary_form.is_valid() and b_form.is_valid() and c_form.is_valid(): # All validation rules pass
                    print "all validation passed"
                    primary = primary_form.save()
                    b_form.cleaned_data["primary"] = primary
                    b = b_form.save()
                    c_form.cleaned_data["primary"] = primary
                    c = c_form.save()
                    return HttpResponseRedirect("/viewer/%s/" % (primary.name))
            else:
                    print "failed"

        else:
            primary_form = PrimaryForm(prefix = "primary")
            b_form = BForm(prefix = "b")
            c_form = Form(prefix = "c")
     return render_to_response('multi_model.html', {
     'primary_form': primary_form,
     'b_form': b_form,
     'c_form': c_form,
      })

This method should allow you to do whatever validation you require, as well as generating all three objects on the same page. I have also used javascript and hidden fields to allow the generation of multiple B,C objects on the same page.

Assert an object is a specific type

Solution for JUnit 5

The documentation says:

However, JUnit Jupiter’s org.junit.jupiter.Assertions class does not provide an assertThat() method like the one found in JUnit 4’s org.junit.Assert class which accepts a Hamcrest Matcher. Instead, developers are encouraged to use the built-in support for matchers provided by third-party assertion libraries.

Example for Hamcrest:

import static org.hamcrest.CoreMatchers.instanceOf;
import static org.hamcrest.MatcherAssert.assertThat;

import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;

class HamcrestAssertionDemo {

    @Test
    void assertWithHamcrestMatcher() {
        SubClass subClass = new SubClass();
        assertThat(subClass, instanceOf(BaseClass.class));
    }

}

Example for AssertJ:

import static org.assertj.core.api.Assertions.assertThat;

import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;

class AssertJDemo {

    @Test
    void assertWithAssertJ() {
        SubClass subClass = new SubClass();
        assertThat(subClass).isInstanceOf(BaseClass.class);
    }

}

Note that this assumes you want to test behaviors similar to instanceof (which accepts subclasses). If you want exact equal type, I don’t see a better way than asserting the two class to be equal like you mentioned in the question.

Change route params without reloading in Angular 2

I use this way to get it:

const queryParamsObj = {foo: 1, bar: 2, andThis: 'text'};

this.location.replaceState(
  this.router.createUrlTree(
    [this.locationStrategy.path().split('?')[0]], // Get uri
    {queryParams: queryParamsObj} // Pass all parameters inside queryParamsObj
  ).toString()
);

-- EDIT --

I think that I should add some more informations for this.

If you use this.location.replaceState() router of your application is not updated, so if you use router information later it's not equal for this in your browser. For example if you use localizeService to change language, after switch language your application back to last URL where you was before change it with this.location.replaceState().

If you don't want this behaviour you can chose different method for update URL, like:

this.router.navigate(
  [this.locationStrategy.path().split('?')[0]],
  {queryParams: queryParamsObj}
);

In this option your browser also doesn't refresh but your URL change is also injected into Router of your application, so when you switch language you don't have problem like in this.location.replaceState().

Of course you can choose method for your needs. The first is more lighter because you don't engage your application more than change URL in browser.

how to insert a new line character in a string to PrintStream then use a scanner to re-read the file

The linefeed character \n is not the line separator in certain operating systems (such as windows, where it's "\r\n") - my suggestion is that you use \r\n instead, then it'll both see the line-break with only \n and \r\n, I've never had any problems using it.

Also, you should look into using a StringBuilder instead of concatenating the String in the while-loop at BookCatalog.toString(), it is a lot more effective. For instance:

public String toString() {
        BookNode current = front;
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        while (current!=null){

How to calculate the IP range when the IP address and the netmask is given?

I would recommend the use of IPNetwork Library https://github.com/lduchosal/ipnetwork. As of version 2, it supports IPv4 and IPv6 as well.

IPv4

  IPNetwork ipnetwork = IPNetwork.Parse("192.168.0.1/25");

  Console.WriteLine("Network : {0}", ipnetwork.Network);
  Console.WriteLine("Netmask : {0}", ipnetwork.Netmask);
  Console.WriteLine("Broadcast : {0}", ipnetwork.Broadcast);
  Console.WriteLine("FirstUsable : {0}", ipnetwork.FirstUsable);
  Console.WriteLine("LastUsable : {0}", ipnetwork.LastUsable);
  Console.WriteLine("Usable : {0}", ipnetwork.Usable);
  Console.WriteLine("Cidr : {0}", ipnetwork.Cidr);

Output

  Network : 192.168.0.0
  Netmask : 255.255.255.128
  Broadcast : 192.168.0.127
  FirstUsable : 192.168.0.1
  LastUsable : 192.168.0.126
  Usable : 126
  Cidr : 25

How can I remove the top and right axis in matplotlib?

If you don't need ticks and such (e.g. for plotting qualitative illustrations) you could also use this quick workaround:

Make the axis invisible (e.g. with plt.gca().axison = False) and then draw them manually with plt.arrow.

Can I send a ctrl-C (SIGINT) to an application on Windows?

        void SendSIGINT( HANDLE hProcess )
        {
            DWORD pid = GetProcessId(hProcess);
            FreeConsole();
            if (AttachConsole(pid))
            {
                // Disable Ctrl-C handling for our program
                SetConsoleCtrlHandler(NULL, true);

                GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent(CTRL_C_EVENT, 0); // SIGINT

                //Re-enable Ctrl-C handling or any subsequently started
                //programs will inherit the disabled state.
                SetConsoleCtrlHandler(NULL, false);

                WaitForSingleObject(hProcess, 10000);
            }
        }

HTML: Image won't display?

I confess to not having read the whole thread. However when I faced a similar issue I found that checking carefully the case of the file name and correcting that in the HTML reference fixed a similar issue. So local preview on Windows worked but when I published to my server (hosted Linux) I had to make sure "mugshot.jpg" was changed to "mugshot.JPG". Part of the problem is the defaults in Windows hiding full file names behind file type indications.

Delete multiple objects in django

You can delete any QuerySet you'd like. For example, to delete all blog posts with some Post model

Post.objects.all().delete()

and to delete any Post with a future publication date

Post.objects.filter(pub_date__gt=datetime.now()).delete()

You do, however, need to come up with a way to narrow down your QuerySet. If you just want a view to delete a particular object, look into the delete generic view.

EDIT:

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I think the answer is somewhere between. To implement your own, combine ModelForms and generic views. Otherwise, look into 3rd party apps that provide similar functionality. In a related question, the recommendation was django-filter.

Pointer to class data member "::*"

Here's a real-world example I am working on right now, from signal processing / control systems:

Suppose you have some structure that represents the data you are collecting:

struct Sample {
    time_t time;
    double value1;
    double value2;
    double value3;
};

Now suppose that you stuff them into a vector:

std::vector<Sample> samples;
... fill the vector ...

Now suppose that you want to calculate some function (say the mean) of one of the variables over a range of samples, and you want to factor this mean calculation into a function. The pointer-to-member makes it easy:

double Mean(std::vector<Sample>::const_iterator begin, 
    std::vector<Sample>::const_iterator end,
    double Sample::* var)
{
    float mean = 0;
    int samples = 0;
    for(; begin != end; begin++) {
        const Sample& s = *begin;
        mean += s.*var;
        samples++;
    }
    mean /= samples;
    return mean;
}

...
double mean = Mean(samples.begin(), samples.end(), &Sample::value2);

Note Edited 2016/08/05 for a more concise template-function approach

And, of course, you can template it to compute a mean for any forward-iterator and any value type that supports addition with itself and division by size_t:

template<typename Titer, typename S>
S mean(Titer begin, const Titer& end, S std::iterator_traits<Titer>::value_type::* var) {
    using T = typename std::iterator_traits<Titer>::value_type;
    S sum = 0;
    size_t samples = 0;
    for( ; begin != end ; ++begin ) {
        const T& s = *begin;
        sum += s.*var;
        samples++;
    }
    return sum / samples;
}

struct Sample {
    double x;
}

std::vector<Sample> samples { {1.0}, {2.0}, {3.0} };
double m = mean(samples.begin(), samples.end(), &Sample::x);

EDIT - The above code has performance implications

You should note, as I soon discovered, that the code above has some serious performance implications. The summary is that if you're calculating a summary statistic on a time series, or calculating an FFT etc, then you should store the values for each variable contiguously in memory. Otherwise, iterating over the series will cause a cache miss for every value retrieved.

Consider the performance of this code:

struct Sample {
  float w, x, y, z;
};

std::vector<Sample> series = ...;

float sum = 0;
int samples = 0;
for(auto it = series.begin(); it != series.end(); it++) {
  sum += *it.x;
  samples++;
}
float mean = sum / samples;

On many architectures, one instance of Sample will fill a cache line. So on each iteration of the loop, one sample will be pulled from memory into the cache. 4 bytes from the cache line will be used and the rest thrown away, and the next iteration will result in another cache miss, memory access and so on.

Much better to do this:

struct Samples {
  std::vector<float> w, x, y, z;
};

Samples series = ...;

float sum = 0;
float samples = 0;
for(auto it = series.x.begin(); it != series.x.end(); it++) {
  sum += *it;
  samples++;
}
float mean = sum / samples;

Now when the first x value is loaded from memory, the next three will also be loaded into the cache (supposing suitable alignment), meaning you don't need any values loaded for the next three iterations.

The above algorithm can be improved somewhat further through the use of SIMD instructions on eg SSE2 architectures. However, these work much better if the values are all contiguous in memory and you can use a single instruction to load four samples together (more in later SSE versions).

YMMV - design your data structures to suit your algorithm.

How to scroll to an element inside a div?

You need to get the top offset of the element you'd like to scroll into view, relative to its parent (the scrolling div container):

var myElement = document.getElementById('element_within_div');
var topPos = myElement.offsetTop;

The variable topPos is now set to the distance between the top of the scrolling div and the element you wish to have visible (in pixels).

Now we tell the div to scroll to that position using scrollTop:

document.getElementById('scrolling_div').scrollTop = topPos;

If you're using the prototype JS framework, you'd do the same thing like this:

var posArray = $('element_within_div').positionedOffset();
$('scrolling_div').scrollTop = posArray[1];

Again, this will scroll the div so that the element you wish to see is exactly at the top (or if that's not possible, scrolled as far down as it can so it's visible).

Ansible Ignore errors in tasks and fail at end of the playbook if any tasks had errors

Fail module works great! Thanks.

I had to define my fact before checking it, otherwise I'd get an undefined variable error.

And I had issues when doing setting the fact with quotes and without spaces.

This worked:

set_fact: flag="failed"

This threw errors:

Using css transform property in jQuery

I started using the 'prefix-free' Script available at http://leaverou.github.io/prefixfree so I don't have to take care about the vendor prefixes. It neatly takes care of setting the correct vendor prefix behind the scenes for you. Plus a jQuery Plugin is available as well so one can still use jQuery's .css() method without code changes, so the suggested line in combination with prefix-free would be all you need:

$('.user-text').css('transform', 'scale(' + ui.value + ')');

Read XML file into XmlDocument

Hope you dont mind Xml.Linq and .net3.5+

XElement ele = XElement.Load("text.xml");
String aXmlString = ele.toString(SaveOptions.DisableFormatting);

Depending on what you are interested in, you can probably skip the whole 'string' var part and just use XLinq objects

Android Emulator Error Message: "PANIC: Missing emulator engine program for 'x86' CPUS."

Had the same issue on Windows7 64bit. The reason why it didn't was missing emulator-x86.exe file under sdk/tools. Fixed it by deleting Android SDK Tools using Android SDK Manager and installing it again. The file now exists and emulator works as expected.

@HostBinding and @HostListener: what do they do and what are they for?

A quick tip that helps me remember what they do -

HostBinding('value') myValue; is exactly the same as [value]="myValue"

And

HostListener('click') myClick(){ } is exactly the same as (click)="myClick()"


HostBinding and HostListener are written in directives and the other ones (...) and [..] are written inside templates (of components).

What is the JUnit XML format specification that Hudson supports?

I just grabbed the junit-4.xsd that others have linked to and used a tool named XMLSpear to convert the schema to a blank XML file with the options shown below. This is the (slightly cleaned up) result:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<testsuites disabled="" errors="" failures="" name="" tests="" time="">
    <testsuite disabled="" errors="" failures="" hostname="" id=""
               name="" package="" skipped="" tests="" time="" timestamp="">
        <properties>
            <property name="" value=""/>
        </properties>
        <testcase assertions="" classname="" name="" status="" time="">
            <skipped/>
            <error message="" type=""/>
            <failure message="" type=""/>
            <system-out/>
            <system-err/>
        </testcase>
        <system-out/>
        <system-err/>
    </testsuite>
</testsuites>

Some of these items can occur multiple times:

  • There can only be one testsuites element, since that’s how XML works, but there can be multiple testsuite elements within the testsuites element.
  • Each properties element can have multiple property children.
  • Each testsuite element can have multiple testcase children.
  • Each testcase element can have multiple error, failure, system-out, or system-err children.

How do I position a div at the bottom center of the screen

If you aren't comfortable with using negative margins, check this out.

div {
  position: fixed;
  left: 50%;
  bottom: 20px;
  transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
  margin: 0 auto;
}
<div>
  Your Text
</div>

Especially useful when you don't know the width of the div.


align="center" has no effect.

Since you have position:absolute, I would recommend positioning it 50% from the left and then subtracting half of its width from its left margin.

#manipulate {
    position:absolute;
    width:300px;
    height:300px;
    background:#063;
    bottom:0px;
    right:25%;
    left:50%;
    margin-left:-150px;
}

Check if a path represents a file or a folder

Please stick to the nio API to perform these checks

import java.nio.file.*;

static Boolean isDir(Path path) {
  if (path == null || !Files.exists(path)) return false;
  else return Files.isDirectory(path);
}

java.lang.RuntimeException: com.android.builder.dexing.DexArchiveMergerException: Unable to merge dex in Android Studio 3.0

I am using Android Studio 3.0 and was facing the same problem. I add this to my gradle:

multiDexEnabled true

And it worked!

Example

android {
    compileSdkVersion 27
    buildToolsVersion '27.0.1'
    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.xx.xxx"
        minSdkVersion 15
        targetSdkVersion 27
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
        multiDexEnabled true //Add this
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            shrinkResources true
            minifyEnabled true
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

And clean the project.

Get scroll position using jquery

Older IE and Firefox browsers attach the scrollbar to the documentElement, or what would be the <html> tag in HTML.

All other browsers attach the scrollbar to document.body, or what would be the <body> tag in HTML.

The correct solution would be to check which one to use, depending on browser

var doc = document.documentElement.clientHeight ? document.documentElement : document.body;
var s   = $(doc).scrollTop();

jQuery does make this a little easier, when passing in either window or document jQuery's scrollTop does a similar check and figures it out, so either of these should work cross-browser

var s = $(document).scrollTop();

or

var s = $(window).scrollTop();

jQuery scrollTop() docs

Description: Get the current vertical position of the scroll bar for the first element in the set of matched elements or set the vertical position of the scroll bar for every matched element.


...nothing that works for my div, just the full page

If it's for a DIV, you'd have to target the element that has the scrollbar attached, to get the scrolled amount

$('div').scrollTop();

If you need to get the elements distance from the top of the document, you can also do

$('div').offset().top

JavaScript equivalent of PHP’s die

You can simply use the return; example

$(document).ready(function () {
        alert(1);
        return;
        alert(2);
        alert(3);
        alert(4);
});

The return will return to the main caller function test1(); and continue from there to test3();

How to restart counting from 1 after erasing table in MS Access?

I always use below approach. I've created one table in database as Table1 with only one column i.e. Row_Id Number (Long Integer) and its value is 0

enter image description here

INSERT INTO <TABLE_NAME_TO_RESET>
SELECT Row_Id AS <COLUMN_NAME_TO_RESET>
FROM Table1;

This will insert one row with 0 value in AutoNumber column, later delete that row.

How to convert IPython notebooks to PDF and HTML?

I've been searching for a way to save notebooks as html, since whenever I try to download as html with my new Jupyter installation, I always get a 500 : Internal Server Error The error was: nbconvert failed: validate() got an unexpected keyword argument 'relax_add_props' error. Oddly enough, I've found that downloading as html is as simple as:

  1. Left click in the notebook
  2. Click 'Save As...' in the dropdown menu
  3. Save accordingly

No print preview, no print, no nbconvert. Using Jupyter Version: 1.0.0. Just a suggestion to try (obviously not all setups are the same).

Convert NSArray to NSString in Objective-C

I think Sanjay's answer was almost there but i used it this way

NSArray *myArray = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:@"Hello",@"World", nil];
NSString *greeting = [myArray componentsJoinedByString:@" "];
NSLog(@"%@",greeting);

Output :

2015-01-25 08:47:14.830 StringTest[11639:394302] Hello World

As Sanjay had hinted - I used method componentsJoinedByString from NSArray that does joining and gives you back NSString

BTW NSString has reverse method componentsSeparatedByString that does the splitting and gives you NSArray back .

Checking Bash exit status of several commands efficiently

I have a set of scripting functions that I use extensively on my Red Hat system. They use the system functions from /etc/init.d/functions to print green [ OK ] and red [FAILED] status indicators.

You can optionally set the $LOG_STEPS variable to a log file name if you want to log which commands fail.

Usage

step "Installing XFS filesystem tools:"
try rpm -i xfsprogs-*.rpm
next

step "Configuring udev:"
try cp *.rules /etc/udev/rules.d
try udevtrigger
next

step "Adding rc.postsysinit hook:"
try cp rc.postsysinit /etc/rc.d/
try ln -s rc.d/rc.postsysinit /etc/rc.postsysinit
try echo $'\nexec /etc/rc.postsysinit' >> /etc/rc.sysinit
next

Output

Installing XFS filesystem tools:        [  OK  ]

How to get character array from a string?

The spread Syntax

You can use the spread syntax, an Array Initializer introduced in ECMAScript 2015 (ES6) standard:

var arr = [...str];

Examples

_x000D_
_x000D_
function a() {_x000D_
    return arguments;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
var str = 'Hello World';_x000D_
_x000D_
var arr1 = [...str],_x000D_
    arr2 = [...'Hello World'],_x000D_
    arr3 = new Array(...str),_x000D_
    arr4 = a(...str);_x000D_
_x000D_
console.log(arr1, arr2, arr3, arr4);
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

The first three result in:

["H", "e", "l", "l", "o", " ", "W", "o", "r", "l", "d"]

The last one results in

{0: "H", 1: "e", 2: "l", 3: "l", 4: "o", 5: " ", 6: "W", 7: "o", 8: "r", 9: "l", 10: "d"}

Browser Support

C# switch on type

Update: This got fixed in C# 7.0 with pattern matching

switch (MyObj)
    case Type1 t1: 
    case Type2 t2:
    case Type3 t3:

Old answer:

It is a hole in C#'s game, no silver bullet yet.

You should google on the 'visitor pattern' but it might be a little heavy for you but still something you should know about.

Here's another take on the matter using Linq: http://community.bartdesmet.net/blogs/bart/archive/2008/03/30/a-functional-c-type-switch.aspx

Otherwise something along these lines could help

// nasty..
switch(MyObj.GetType.ToString()){
  case "Type1": etc
}

// clumsy...
if myObj  is Type1 then
if myObj is Type2 then

etc.

HTML favicon won't show on google chrome

A common issue where the favicon will not show up when expected is cache, if your .htaccess for example reads: ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access plus 1 month"

Then simply add a random value to your favicon reference: <link rel="shortcut icon" href="https://example.com/favicon.ico?r=31241" type="image/x-icon" />

Works every time for me even with heavy caching.

How do you convert a byte array to a hexadecimal string, and vice versa?

Another way is by using stackalloc to reduce GC memory pressure:

static string ByteToHexBitFiddle(byte[] bytes)
{
        var c = stackalloc char[bytes.Length * 2 + 1];
        int b; 
        for (int i = 0; i < bytes.Length; ++i)
        {
            b = bytes[i] >> 4;
            c[i * 2] = (char)(55 + b + (((b - 10) >> 31) & -7));
            b = bytes[i] & 0xF;
            c[i * 2 + 1] = (char)(55 + b + (((b - 10) >> 31) & -7));
        }
        c[bytes.Length * 2 ] = '\0';
        return new string(c);
}

How to get the real path of Java application at runtime?

It is better to save files into a sub-directory of user.home than wherever the app. might reside.

Sun went to considerable effort to ensure that applets and apps. launched using Java Web Start cannot determine the apps. real path. This change broke many apps. I would not be surprised if the changes are extended to other apps.

How can I get the "network" time, (from the "Automatic" setting called "Use network-provided values"), NOT the time on the phone?

Try this snippet of code:

String timeSettings = android.provider.Settings.System.getString(
                this.getContentResolver(),
                android.provider.Settings.System.AUTO_TIME);
        if (timeSettings.contentEquals("0")) {
            android.provider.Settings.System.putString(
                    this.getContentResolver(),
                    android.provider.Settings.System.AUTO_TIME, "1");
        }
        Date now = new Date(System.currentTimeMillis());
        Log.d("Date", now.toString());

Make sure to add permission in Manifest

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

Howto? Parameters and LIKE statement SQL

You may have to concatenate the % signs with your parameter, e.g.:

LIKE '%' || @query || '%'

Edit: Actually, that may not make any sense at all. I think I may have misunderstood your problem.

disable all form elements inside div

I'm using the function below at various points. Works in a div or button elements in a table as long as the right selector is used. Just ":button" would not re-enable for me.

function ToggleMenuButtons(bActivate) {
    if (bActivate == true) {
        $("#SelectorId :input[type='button']").prop("disabled", true);
    } else {
        $("#SelectorId :input[type='button']").removeProp("disabled");
    }

How to Publish Web with msbuild?

I don't know TeamCity so I hope this can work for you.

The best way I've found to do this is with MSDeploy.exe. This is part of the WebDeploy project run by Microsoft. You can download the bits here.

With WebDeploy, you run the command line

msdeploy.exe -verb:sync -source:contentPath=c:\webApp -dest:contentPath=c:\DeployedWebApp

This does the same thing as the VS Publish command, copying only the necessary bits to the deployment folder.

Nginx sites-enabled, sites-available: Cannot create soft-link between config files in Ubuntu 12.04

You need to start by understanding that the target of a symlink is a pathname. And it can be absolute or relative to the directory which contains the symlink

Assuming you have foo.conf in sites-available

Try

cd sites-enabled
sudo ln -s ../sites-available/foo.conf .
ls -l

Now you will have a symlink in sites-enabled called foo.conf which has a target ../sites-available/foo.conf

Just to be clear, the normal configuration for Apache is that the config files for potential sites live in sites-available and the symlinks for the enabled sites live in sites-enabled, pointing at targets in sites-available. That doesn't quite seem to be the case the way you describe your setup, but that is not your primary problem.

If you want a symlink to ALWAYS point at the same file, regardless of the where the symlink is located, then the target should be the full path.

ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/foo.conf mysimlink-whatever.conf

Here is (line 1 of) the output of my ls -l /etc/apache2/sites-enabled:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  26 Jun 24 21:06 000-default -> ../sites-available/default

See how the target of the symlink is relative to the directory that contains the symlink (it starts with ".." meaning go up one directory).

Hardlinks are totally different because the target of a hardlink is not a directory entry but a filing system Inode.

Get querystring from URL using jQuery

From: http://jquery-howto.blogspot.com/2009/09/get-url-parameters-values-with-jquery.html

This is what you need :)

The following code will return a JavaScript Object containing the URL parameters:

// Read a page's GET URL variables and return them as an associative array.
function getUrlVars()
{
    var vars = [], hash;
    var hashes = window.location.href.slice(window.location.href.indexOf('?') + 1).split('&');
    for(var i = 0; i < hashes.length; i++)
    {
        hash = hashes[i].split('=');
        vars.push(hash[0]);
        vars[hash[0]] = hash[1];
    }
    return vars;
}

For example, if you have the URL:

http://www.example.com/?me=myValue&name2=SomeOtherValue

This code will return:

{
    "me"    : "myValue",
    "name2" : "SomeOtherValue"
}

and you can do:

var me = getUrlVars()["me"];
var name2 = getUrlVars()["name2"];

wampserver doesn't go green - stays orange

I have had this issue before and it turned out that Skype was interferring with port 80. So you may have to look at your system to see if you have another application utilizing this port.

Anyway under Skype, to change this setting it was: Tools->Options->Advanced->Connection->Use port 80 and 443 as alternatives for incoming connections. Untick this, restart Skype, restart wamp.

Convert array to JSON string in swift

Swift 5

Make sure your object confirm Codable.

Swift's default variable types like Int, String, Double and ..., all are Codable that means we can convert theme to Data and vice versa.

For example, let's convert array of Int to String Base64

let array = [1, 2, 3]
let data = try? JSONEncoder().encode(array)
nsManagedObject.array = data?.base64EncodedString()

Make sure your NSManaged variable type is String in core data schema editor and custom class if your using custom class for core data objects.

let's convert back base64 string to array:

var getArray: [Int] {
    guard let array = array else { return [] }
    guard let data = Data(base64Encoded: array) else { return [] }
    guard let val = try? JSONDecoder().decode([Int].self, from: data) else { return [] }
    return val
}

Do not convert your own object to Base64 and store as String in CoreData and vice versa because we have something that named Relation in CoreData (databases).

jQuery : select all element with custom attribute

What is the difference between dynamic and static polymorphism in Java?

Polymorphism

1. Static binding/Compile-Time binding/Early binding/Method overloading.(in same class)

2. Dynamic binding/Run-Time binding/Late binding/Method overriding.(in different classes)

overloading example:

class Calculation {  
  void sum(int a,int b){System.out.println(a+b);}  
  void sum(int a,int b,int c){System.out.println(a+b+c);}  

  public static void main(String args[]) {  
    Calculation obj=new Calculation();  
    obj.sum(10,10,10);  // 30
    obj.sum(20,20);     //40 
  }  
}  

overriding example:

class Animal {    
   public void move(){
      System.out.println("Animals can move");
   }
}

class Dog extends Animal {

   public void move() {
      System.out.println("Dogs can walk and run");
   }
}

public class TestDog {

   public static void main(String args[]) {
      Animal a = new Animal(); // Animal reference and object
      Animal b = new Dog(); // Animal reference but Dog object

      a.move();//output: Animals can move

      b.move();//output:Dogs can walk and run
   }
}

Concatenate two string literals

You should always pay attention to types.

Although they all seem like strings, "Hello" and ",world" are literals.

And in your example, exclam is a std::string object.

C++ has an operator overload that takes a std::string object and adds another string to it. When you concatenate a std::string object with a literal it will make the appropriate casting for the literal.

But if you try to concatenate two literals, the compiler won't be able to find an operator that takes two literals.

The best way to calculate the height in a binary search tree? (balancing an AVL-tree)

What is [Serializable] and when should I use it?

Serialization

Serialization is the process of converting an object or a set of objects graph into a stream, it is a byte array in the case of binary serialization

Uses of Serialization

  1. To save the state of an object into a file, database etc. and use it latter.
  2. To send an object from one process to another (App Domain) on the same machine and also send it over wire to a process running on another machine.
  3. To create a clone of the original object as a backup while working on the main object.
  4. A set of objects can easily be copied to the system’s clipboard and then pasted into the same or another application

Below are some useful custom attributes that are used during serialization of an object

[Serializable] -> It is used when we mark an object’s serializable [NonSerialized] -> It is used when we do not want to serialize an object’s field. [OnSerializing] -> It is used when we want to perform some action while serializing an object [OnSerialized] -> It is used when we want to perform some action after serialized an object into stream.

Below is the example of serialization

[Serializable]
    internal class DemoForSerializable
    {
        internal string Fname = string.Empty;
        internal string Lname = string.Empty;

        internal Stream SerializeToMS(DemoForSerializable demo)
        {
            DemoForSerializable objSer = new DemoForSerializable();
            MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
            BinaryFormatter bf = new BinaryFormatter();
            bf.Serialize(ms, objSer);
            return ms;
        }

        [OnSerializing]
        private void OnSerializing(StreamingContext context) {
            Fname = "sheo";
            Lname = "Dayal";
        }
        [OnSerialized]
        private void OnSerialized(StreamingContext context)
        {
       // Do some work after serialized object
        }

    }

Here is the calling code

class Program
    {
        string fname = string.Empty;
        string Lname = string.Empty; 

       static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            DemoForSerializable demo = new DemoForSerializable();

            Stream ms = demo.SerializeToMS(demo);
            ms.Position = 0;

            DemoForSerializable demo1 = new BinaryFormatter().Deserialize(ms) as DemoForSerializable;

            Console.WriteLine(demo1.Fname);
            Console.WriteLine(demo1.Lname);
            Console.ReadLine();
        }

    }

How to remove specific elements in a numpy array

Not being a numpy person, I took a shot with:

>>> import numpy as np
>>> import itertools
>>> 
>>> a = np.array([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9])
>>> index=[2,3,6]
>>> a = np.array(list(itertools.compress(a, [i not in index for i in range(len(a))])))
>>> a
array([1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 9])

According to my tests, this outperforms numpy.delete(). I don't know why that would be the case, maybe due to the small size of the initial array?

python -m timeit -s "import numpy as np" -s "import itertools" -s "a = np.array([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9])" -s "index=[2,3,6]" "a = np.array(list(itertools.compress(a, [i not in index for i in range(len(a))])))"
100000 loops, best of 3: 12.9 usec per loop

python -m timeit -s "import numpy as np" -s "a = np.array([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9])" -s "index=[2,3,6]" "np.delete(a, index)"
10000 loops, best of 3: 108 usec per loop

That's a pretty significant difference (in the opposite direction to what I was expecting), anyone have any idea why this would be the case?

Even more weirdly, passing numpy.delete() a list performs worse than looping through the list and giving it single indices.

python -m timeit -s "import numpy as np" -s "a = np.array([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9])" -s "index=[2,3,6]" "for i in index:" "    np.delete(a, i)"
10000 loops, best of 3: 33.8 usec per loop

Edit: It does appear to be to do with the size of the array. With large arrays, numpy.delete() is significantly faster.

python -m timeit -s "import numpy as np" -s "import itertools" -s "a = np.array(list(range(10000)))" -s "index=[i for i in range(10000) if i % 2 == 0]" "a = np.array(list(itertools.compress(a, [i not in index for i in range(len(a))])))"
10 loops, best of 3: 200 msec per loop

python -m timeit -s "import numpy as np" -s "a = np.array(list(range(10000)))" -s "index=[i for i in range(10000) if i % 2 == 0]" "np.delete(a, index)"
1000 loops, best of 3: 1.68 msec per loop

Obviously, this is all pretty irrelevant, as you should always go for clarity and avoid reinventing the wheel, but I found it a little interesting, so I thought I'd leave it here.

I post the below solution here because after some searching this is where I landed, so other may too. I was trying to use EF 6 to call a stored procedure, but had a similar error because the stored procedure had a linked server being utilized.

The operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider _ for linked server _ was unable to begin a distributed transaction

The partner transaction manager has disabled its support for remote/network transactions*

Jumping over to SQL Client did fix my issue, which also confirmed for me that it was an EF thing.

EF model generated method based attempt:

db.SomeStoredProcedure();

ExecuteSqlCommand based attempt:

db.Database.ExecuteSqlCommand("exec [SomeDB].[dbo].[SomeStoredProcedure]");

With:

var connectionString = db.Database.Connection.ConnectionString;
var connection = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(connectionString);    
var cmd = connection.CreateCommand();
cmd.CommandText = "exec [SomeDB].[dbo].[SomeStoredProcedure]";

connection.Open();
var result = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();

That code can be shortened, but I think that version is slightly more convenient for debugging and stepping through.

I don't believe that Sql Client is necessarily a preferred choice, but I felt this was at least worth sharing if anyone else having similar problems gets landed here by google.

The above Code is C#, but the concept of trying to switch over to Sql Client still applies. At the very least it will be diagnostic to attempt to do so.

How to fix a locale setting warning from Perl

sudo nano /etc/locale.gen

Uncomment the locales you want to use (e.g. en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8):

Then run:

sudo /usr/sbin/locale-gen

Count character occurrences in a string in C++

You can find out occurrence of '_' in source string by using string functions. find() function takes 2 arguments , first - string whose occurrences we want to find out and second argument takes starting position.While loop is use to find out occurrence till the end of source string.

example:

string str2 = "_";
string strData = "bla_bla_blabla_bla_";

size_t pos = 0,pos2;

while ((pos = strData.find(str2, pos)) < strData.length()) 
{
    printf("\n%d", pos);
    pos += str2.length();
}

How to convert unsigned long to string

The standard approach is to use sprintf(buffer, "%lu", value); to write a string rep of value to buffer. However, overflow is a potential problem, as sprintf will happily (and unknowingly) write over the end of your buffer.

This is actually a big weakness of sprintf, partially fixed in C++ by using streams rather than buffers. The usual "answer" is to allocate a very generous buffer unlikely to overflow, let sprintf output to that, and then use strlen to determine the actual string length produced, calloc a buffer of (that size + 1) and copy the string to that.

This site discusses this and related problems at some length.

Some libraries offer snprintf as an alternative which lets you specify a maximum buffer size.

How do I configure Maven for offline development?

If you're using IntelliJ, you can simply go to Preferences -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Build Tools -> Maven and check/uncheck Work offline.

What causes and what are the differences between NoClassDefFoundError and ClassNotFoundException?

I remind myself the following again and again when I need to refresh

ClassNotFoundException

Class Hierarchy

ClassNotFoundException extends ReflectiveOperationException extends Exception extends Throwable

While debugging

  1. Required jar, class is missing from the classpath.
  2. Verify all the required jars are in classpath of jvm.

NoClassDefFoundError

Class Hierarchy

NoClassDefFoundError extends LinkageError  extends Error extends Throwable

While debugging

  1. Problem with loading a class dynamically, which was compiled properly
  2. Problem with static blocks, constructors, init() methods of dependent class and the actual error is wrapped by multiple layers [especially when you use spring, hibernate the actual exception is wrapped and you will get NoClassDefError]
  3. When you face "ClassNotFoundException" under a static block of dependent class
  4. Problem with versions of class. This happens when you have two versions v1, v2 of same class under different jar/packages, which was compiled successfully using v1 and v2 is loaded at the runtime which doesn't has the relevant methods/vars& you will see this exception. [I once resolved this issue by removing the duplicate of log4j related class under multiple jars that appeared in the classpath]

    ... do  something

How to remove decimal values from a value of type 'double' in Java

String truncatedValue = String.format("%f", percentageValue).split("\\.")[0]; solves the purpose

The problem is two fold-

  1. To retain the integral (mathematical integer) part of the double. Hence can't typecast (int) percentageValue
  2. Truncate (and not round) the decimal part. Hence can't use String.format("%.0f", percentageValue) or new java.text.DecimalFormat("#").format(percentageValue) as both of these round the decimal part.

Cannot resolve method 'getSupportFragmentManager ( )' inside Fragment

Replace getSupportFragmentManager() with getFragmentManager() if you are working in api 21. OR If your app supports versions of Android older than 3.0, be sure you've set up your Android project with the support library as described in Setting Up a Project to Use a Library and use getSupportFragmentManager() this time.

CSS media query to target iPad and iPad only?

These days you can use a Media Queries Level 4 feature to check if the device has the ability to 'hover' over elements.

@media (hover: hover) { ... }

Since the ipad has no 'hover' state you can effectively target touch devices like the ipad.

Update some specific field of an entity in android Room

If you need to update user information for a specific user ID "x",

  1. you need to create a dbManager class that will initialise the database in its constructor and acts as a mediator between your viewModel and DAO, and also .
  2. The ViewModel will initialize an instance of dbManager to access the database. The code should look like this:

       @Entity
        class User{
        @PrimaryKey
        String userId;
        String username;
        }
    
        Interface UserDao{
        //forUpdate
        @Update
        void updateUser(User user)
        }
    
        Class DbManager{
        //AppDatabase gets the static object o roomDatabase.
        AppDatabase appDatabase;
        UserDao userDao;
        public DbManager(Application application ){
        appDatabase = AppDatabase.getInstance(application);
    
        //getUserDao is and abstract method of type UserDao declared in AppDatabase //class
        userDao = appDatabase.getUserDao();
        } 
    
        public void updateUser(User user, boolean isUpdate){
        new InsertUpdateUserAsyncTask(userDao,isUpdate).execute(user);
        }
    
    
    
        public static class InsertUpdateUserAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<User, Void, Void> {
    
    
         private UserDao userDAO;
         private boolean isInsert;
    
         public InsertUpdateBrandAsyncTask(BrandDAO userDAO, boolean isInsert) {
           this. userDAO = userDAO;
           this.isInsert = isInsert;
         }
    
         @Override
         protected Void doInBackground(User... users) {
           if (isInsert)
        userDAO.insertBrand(brandEntities[0]);
           else
        //for update
        userDAO.updateBrand(users[0]);
        //try {
        //  Thread.sleep(1000);
        //} catch (InterruptedException e) {
        //  e.printStackTrace();
        //}
           return null;
         }
          }
        }
    
         Class UserViewModel{
         DbManager dbManager;
         public UserViewModel(Application application){
         dbmanager = new DbMnager(application);
         }
    
         public void updateUser(User user, boolean isUpdate){
         dbmanager.updateUser(user,isUpdate);
         }
    
         }
    
    
    
    
    Now in your activity or fragment initialise your UserViewModel like this:
    
    UserViewModel userViewModel = ViewModelProviders.of(this).get(UserViewModel.class);
    

    Then just update your user item this way, suppose your userId is 1122 and userName is "xyz" which has to be changed to "zyx".

    Get an userItem of id 1122 User object

User user = new user();
 if(user.getUserId() == 1122){
   user.setuserName("zyx");
   userViewModel.updateUser(user);
 }

This is a raw code, hope it helps you.

Happy coding

Why should I use core.autocrlf=true in Git?

The only specific reasons to set autocrlf to true are:

  • avoid git status showing all your files as modified because of the automatic EOL conversion done when cloning a Unix-based EOL Git repo to a Windows one (see issue 83 for instance)
  • and your coding tools somehow depends on a native EOL style being present in your file:

Unless you can see specific treatment which must deal with native EOL, you are better off leaving autocrlf to false (git config --global core.autocrlf false).

Note that this config would be a local one (because config isn't pushed from repo to repo)

If you want the same config for all users cloning that repo, check out "What's the best CRLF handling strategy with git?", using the text attribute in the .gitattributes file.

Example:

*.vcproj    text eol=crlf
*.sh        text eol=lf

Note: starting git 2.8 (March 2016), merge markers will no longer introduce mixed line ending (LF) in a CRLF file.
See "Make Git use CRLF on its “<<<<<<< HEAD” merge lines"

What is the purpose of global.asax in asp.net

The root directory of a web application has a special significance and certain content can be present on in that folder. It can have a special file called as “Global.asax”. ASP.Net framework uses the content in the global.asax and creates a class at runtime which is inherited from HttpApplication. During the lifetime of an application, ASP.NET maintains a pool of Global.asax derived HttpApplication instances. When an application receives an http request, the ASP.Net page framework assigns one of these instances to process that request. That instance is responsible for managing the entire lifetime of the request it is assigned to and the instance can only be reused after the request has been completed when it is returned to the pool. The instance members in Global.asax cannot be used for sharing data across requests but static member can be. Global.asax can contain the event handlers of HttpApplication object and some other important methods which would execute at various points in a web application

Invoking a jQuery function after .each() has completed

Command line: search and replace in all filenames matched by grep

Do you mean search and replace a string in all files matched by grep?

perl -p -i -e 's/oldstring/newstring/g' `grep -ril searchpattern *`

Edit

Since this seems to be a fairly popular question thought I'd update.

Nowadays I mostly use ack-grep as it's more user-friendly. So the above command would be:

perl -p -i -e 's/old/new/g' `ack -l searchpattern`

To handle whitespace in file names you can run:

ack --print0 -l searchpattern | xargs -0 perl -p -i -e 's/old/new/g'

you can do more with ack-grep. Say you want to restrict the search to HTML files only:

ack --print0 --html -l searchpattern | xargs -0 perl -p -i -e 's/old/new/g'

And if white space is not an issue it's even shorter:

perl -p -i -e 's/old/new/g' `ack -l --html searchpattern`
perl -p -i -e 's/old/new/g' `ack -f --html` # will match all html files

How to convert string to Date in Angular2 \ Typescript?

You can use date filter to convert in date and display in specific format.

In .ts file (typescript):

let dateString = '1968-11-16T00:00:00' 
let newDate = new Date(dateString);

In HTML:

{{dateString |  date:'MM/dd/yyyy'}}

Below are some formats which you can implement :

Backend:

public todayDate = new Date();

HTML :

<select>
<option value=""></option>
<option value="MM/dd/yyyy">[{{todayDate | date:'MM/dd/yyyy'}}]</option>
<option value="EEEE, MMMM d, yyyy">[{{todayDate | date:'EEEE, MMMM d, yyyy'}}]</option>
<option value="EEEE, MMMM d, yyyy h:mm a">[{{todayDate | date:'EEEE, MMMM d, yyyy h:mm a'}}]</option>
<option value="EEEE, MMMM d, yyyy h:mm:ss a">[{{todayDate | date:'EEEE, MMMM d, yyyy h:mm:ss a'}}]</option>
<option value="MM/dd/yyyy h:mm a">[{{todayDate | date:'MM/dd/yyyy h:mm a'}}]</option>
<option value="MM/dd/yyyy h:mm:ss a">[{{todayDate | date:'MM/dd/yyyy h:mm:ss a'}}]</option>
<option value="MMMM d">[{{todayDate | date:'MMMM d'}}]</option>   
<option value="yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss">[{{todayDate | date:'yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss'}}]</option>
<option value="h:mm a">[{{todayDate | date:'h:mm a'}}]</option>
<option value="h:mm:ss a">[{{todayDate | date:'h:mm:ss a'}}]</option>      
<option value="EEEE, MMMM d, yyyy hh:mm:ss a">[{{todayDate | date:'EEEE, MMMM d, yyyy hh:mm:ss a'}}]</option>
<option value="MMMM yyyy">[{{todayDate | date:'MMMM yyyy'}}]</option> 
</select>

XmlWriter to Write to a String Instead of to a File

Well I think the simplest and fastest solution here would be just to:

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

using (var writer = XmlWriter.Create(sb, settings))
{
    ... // Whatever code you have/need :)

    sb = sb.Replace("encoding=\"utf-16\"", "encoding=\"utf-8\""); //Or whatever uft you want/use.
    //Before you finally save it:
    File.WriteAllText("path\\dataName.xml", sb.ToString());
}

Automating running command on Linux from Windows using PuTTY

You can create a putty session, and auto load the script on the server, when starting the session:

At remote command, point to the remote script.

JavaFX and OpenJDK

According to Oracle integration of OpenJDK & javaFX will be on Q1-2014 ( see roadmap : http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javafx/overview/roadmap-1446331.html ). So, for the 1st question the answer is that you have to wait until then. For the 2nd question there is no other way. So, for now go with java swing or start javaFX and wait

docker mounting volumes on host

Basically VOLUME and -v option are almost equal. These mean 'mount specific directory on your container'. For example, VOLUME /data and -v /data is exactly same meaning. If you run the image that have VOLUME /data or with -v /data option, /data directory is mounted your container. This directory doesn't belong to your container.

Imagine that You add some files to /data on the container, then commit the container into new image. There isn't any files on data directory because mounted /data directory is belong to original container.

$ docker run -it -v /data --name volume ubuntu:14.04 bash
root@2b5e0f2d37cd:/# cd /data
root@2b5e0f2d37cd:/data# touch 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
root@2b5e0f2d37cd:/data# cd /tmp
root@2b5e0f2d37cd:/tmp# touch 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
root@2b5e0f2d37cd:/tmp# exit
exit

$ docker commit volume nacyot/volume  
835cfe3d8d159622507ba3256bb1c0b0d6e7c1419ae32751ad0f925c40378945
nacyot $ docker run -it nacyot/volume
root@dbe335c7e64d:/# cd /data
root@dbe335c7e64d:/data# ls
root@dbe335c7e64d:/data# cd /tmp
root@dbe335c7e64d:/tmp# ls
1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9
root@dbe335c7e64d:/tmp# 
root@dbe335c7e64d:/tmp# 

This mounted directory like /data is used to store data that is not belong to your application. And you can predefine the data directory that is not belong to the container by using VOLUME.

A difference between Volume and -v option is that you can use -v option dynamically on starting container. It mean you can mount some directory dynamically. And another difference is that you can mount your host directory on your container by using -v

ArrayList of String Arrays

Multiple modals overlay

I created a Bootstrap plugin that incorporates a lot of the ideas posted here.

Demo on Bootply: http://www.bootply.com/cObcYInvpq

Github: https://github.com/jhaygt/bootstrap-multimodal

It also addresses the issue with successive modals causing the backdrop to become darker and darker. This ensures that only one backdrop is visible at any given time:

if(modalIndex > 0)
    $('.modal-backdrop').not(':first').addClass('hidden');

The z-index of the visible backdrop is updated on both the show.bs.modal and hidden.bs.modal events:

$('.modal-backdrop:first').css('z-index', MultiModal.BASE_ZINDEX + (modalIndex * 20));

Convert Rtf to HTML

If you don't mind getting your hands dirty, it isn't that difficult to write an RTF to HTML converter.

Writing a general purpose RTF->HTML converter would be somewhat complicated because you would need to deal with hundreds of RTF verbs. However, in your case you are only dealing with those verbs used specifically by Crystal Reports. I'll bet the standard RTF coding generated by Crystal doesn't vary much from report to report.

I wrote an RTF to HTML converter in C++, but it only deals with basic formatting like fonts, paragraph alignments, etc. My translator basically strips out any specialized formatting that it isn't prepared to deal with. It took about 400 lines of C++. It basically scans the text for RTF tags and replaces them with equivalent HTML tags. RTF tags that aren't in my list are simply stripped out. A regex function is really helpful when writing such a converter.

Formatting code snippets for blogging on Blogger

I rolled my own in F# (see this question), but it still isn't perfect (I just do regexps, so I don't recognise classes or method names etc.).

Basically, from what I can tell, the blogger editor will sometimes eat your angle brackets if you switch between Compose and HTML mode. So you have to paste into HTML mode then save directly. (I may be wrong on this, just tried now and it seems to work - browser dependent?)

It's horrible when you have generics!

POST JSON to API using Rails and HTTParty

The :query_string_normalizer option is also available, which will override the default normalizer HashConversions.to_params(query)

Why does Date.parse give incorrect results?

Both are correct, but they are being interpreted as dates with two different timezones. So you compared apples and oranges:

// local dates
new Date("Jul 8, 2005").toISOString()            // "2005-07-08T07:00:00.000Z"
new Date("2005-07-08T00:00-07:00").toISOString() // "2005-07-08T07:00:00.000Z"
// UTC dates
new Date("Jul 8, 2005 UTC").toISOString()        // "2005-07-08T00:00:00.000Z"
new Date("2005-07-08").toISOString()             // "2005-07-08T00:00:00.000Z"

I removed the Date.parse() call since it's used automatically on a string argument. I also compared the dates using ISO8601 format so you could visually compare the dates between your local dates and the UTC dates. The times are 7 hours apart, which is the timezone difference and why your tests showed two different dates.

The other way of creating these same local/UTC dates would be:

new Date(2005, 7-1, 8)           // "2005-07-08T07:00:00.000Z"
new Date(Date.UTC(2005, 7-1, 8)) // "2005-07-08T00:00:00.000Z"

But I still strongly recommend Moment.js which is as simple yet powerful:

// parse string
moment("2005-07-08").format()       // "2005-07-08T00:00:00+02:00"
moment.utc("2005-07-08").format()   // "2005-07-08T00:00:00Z"
// year, month, day, etc.
moment([2005, 7-1, 8]).format()     // "2005-07-08T00:00:00+02:00"
moment.utc([2005, 7-1, 8]).format() // "2005-07-08T00:00:00Z"

How to select all instances of a variable and edit variable name in Sublime

Despite much effort, I have not found a built-in or plugin-assisted way to do what you're trying to do. I completely agree that it should be possible, as the program can distinguish foo from buffoon when you first highlight it, but no one seems to know a way of doing it.


However, here are some useful key combos for selecting words in Sublime Text 2:

Ctrl?G - selects all occurrences of the current word (AltF3 on Windows/Linux)

?D - selects the next instance of the current word (CtrlD)

  • ?K,?D - skips the current instance and goes on to select the next one (CtrlK,CtrlD)
  • ?U - "soft undo", moves back to the previous selection (CtrlU)

?E, ?H - uses the current selection as the "Find" field in Find and Replace (CtrlE,CtrlH)

Android ImageButton with a selected state?

ToggleImageButton which implements Checkable interface and supports OnCheckedChangeListener and android:checked xml attribute:

public class ToggleImageButton extends ImageButton implements Checkable {
    private OnCheckedChangeListener onCheckedChangeListener;

    public ToggleImageButton(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    public ToggleImageButton(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
        setChecked(attrs);
    }

    public ToggleImageButton(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
        setChecked(attrs);
    }

    private void setChecked(AttributeSet attrs) {
        TypedArray a = getContext().obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, R.styleable.ToggleImageButton);
        setChecked(a.getBoolean(R.styleable.ToggleImageButton_android_checked, false));
        a.recycle();
    }

    @Override
    public boolean isChecked() {
        return isSelected();
    }

    @Override
    public void setChecked(boolean checked) {
        setSelected(checked);

        if (onCheckedChangeListener != null) {
            onCheckedChangeListener.onCheckedChanged(this, checked);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void toggle() {
        setChecked(!isChecked());
    }

    @Override
    public boolean performClick() {
        toggle();
        return super.performClick();
    }

    public OnCheckedChangeListener getOnCheckedChangeListener() {
        return onCheckedChangeListener;
    }

    public void setOnCheckedChangeListener(OnCheckedChangeListener onCheckedChangeListener) {
        this.onCheckedChangeListener = onCheckedChangeListener;
    }

    public static interface OnCheckedChangeListener {
        public void onCheckedChanged(ToggleImageButton buttonView, boolean isChecked);
    }
}

res/values/attrs.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <declare-styleable name="ToggleImageButton">
        <attr name="android:checked" />
    </declare-styleable>

Android Min SDK Version vs. Target SDK Version

The comment posted by the OP to the question (basically stating that the targetSDK doesn't affect the compiling of an app) is entirely wrong! Sorry to be blunt.

In short, here is the purpose to declaring a different targetSDK from the minSDK: It means you are using features from a higher level SDK than your minimum, but you have ensured backwards compatibility. In other words, imagine that you want to use a feature that was only recently introduced, but that isn't critical to your application. You would then set the targetSDK to the version where this new feature was introduced and the minimum to something lower so that everyone could still use your app.

To give an example, let's say you're writing an app that makes extensive use of gesture detection. However, every command that can be recognised by a gesture can also be done by a button or from the menu. In this case, gestures are a 'cool extra' but aren't required. Therefore you would set the target sdk to 7 ("Eclair" when the GestureDetection library was introduced), and the minimumSDK to level 3 ("Cupcake") so that even people with really old phones could use your app. All you'd have to do is make sure that your app checked the version of Android it was running on before trying to use the gesture library, to avoid trying to use it if it didn't exist. (Admittedly this is a dated example since hardly anyone still has a v1.5 phone, but there was a time when maintaining compatibility with v1.5 was really important.)

To give another example, you could use this if you wanted to use a feature from Gingerbread or Honeycomb. Some people will get the updates soon, but many others, particularly with older hardware, might stay stuck with Eclair until they buy a new device. This would let you use some of the cool new features, but without excluding part of your possible market.

There is a really good article from the Android developer's blog about how to use this feature, and in particular, how to design the "check the feature exists before using it" code I mentioned above.

To the OP: I've written this mainly for the benefit of anyone who happens to stumble upon this question in the future, as I realise your question was asked a long time ago.

Sending websocket ping/pong frame from browser

a possible solution in js

In case the WebSocket server initiative disconnects the ws link after a few minutes there no messages sent between the server and client.

  1. client sends a custom ping message, to keep alive by using the keepAlive function

  2. server ignore the ping message and response a custom pong message

var timerID = 0; 
function keepAlive() { 
    var timeout = 20000;  
    if (webSocket.readyState == webSocket.OPEN) {  
        webSocket.send('');  
    }  
    timerId = setTimeout(keepAlive, timeout);  
}  
function cancelKeepAlive() {  
    if (timerId) {  
        clearTimeout(timerId);  
    }  
}

How to enable relation view in phpmyadmin

relation view

If it's too late at night and your table is already innoDB and you still don't see the link, maybe is due to the fact that now it's placed above the structure of the table, like in the picture is shown

How to include Javascript file in Asp.Net page

Probably the file is not in the path specified. '../../../' will move 3 step up to the directory in which the page is located and look for the js file in a folder named JS.

Also the language attribute is Deprecated.

See Scripts:

18.2.1 The SCRIPT element

language = cdata [CI]

Deprecated. This attribute specifies the scripting language of the contents of this element. Its value is an identifier for the language, but since these identifiers are not standard, this attribute has been deprecated in favor of type.

Edit

Try changing

<script src="../../../JS/Registration.js" language="javascript" type="text/javascript" /> 

to

<script src="../../../JS/Registration.js" language="javascript" type="text/javascript"></script>

ASP.NET MVC - Getting QueryString values

You can always use Request.QueryString collection like Web forms, but you can also make MVC handle them and pass them as parameters. This is the suggested way as it's easier and it will validate input data type automatically.
