Programs & Examples On #Design by contract

Design by Contract (DbC) or Programming by Contract is an approach to designing computer software. It prescribes that software designers should define formal, precise and verifiable interface specifications for software components, which extend the ordinary definition of abstract data types with preconditions, postconditions and invariants. These specifications are referred to as "contracts", in accordance with a conceptual metaphor with the conditions and

How to save public key from a certificate in .pem format

if it is a RSA key

openssl rsa  -pubout -in my_rsa_key.pem

if you need it in a format for openssh , please see Use RSA private key to generate public key?

Note that public key is generated from the private key and ssh uses the identity file (private key file) to generate and send public key to server and un-encrypt the encrypted token from the server via the private key in identity file.

Padding is invalid and cannot be removed?

Rijndael/AES is a block cypher. It encrypts data in 128 bit (16 character) blocks. Cryptographic padding is used to make sure that the last block of the message is always the correct size.

Your decryption method is expecting whatever its default padding is, and is not finding it. As @NetSquirrel says, you need to explicitly set the padding for both encryption and decryption. Unless you have a reason to do otherwise, use PKCS#7 padding.

Android WebView style background-color:transparent ignored on android 2.2

This worked for me,

mWebView.setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);

Embedding JavaScript engine into .NET

It's Possible now with ASP.Net MVC4 Razor View engine. the code will be this:

// c# class
public class A
{
    public string Hello(string msg)
    {
        return msg + " whatewer";
    }
}

// js snippet
<script type="text/javascript">
var a = new A();
console.log('@a.Hello('Call me')'); // i have a console.log implemented, don't worry, it's not a client-side code :)
</script>

and Razor isn't just for MVC4 or another web applications and you can use it in offline desktop applications.

How to measure time taken by a function to execute

Here's a decorator for timing functions

let timed = (f) => (...args)=>{
    let start = performance.now();
    let ret = f(...args);
    console.log(`function ${f.name} took ${(performance.now()-start).toFixed(3)}ms`)
    return ret;   
}

Usage:

let test = ()=>{/*does something*/}
test = timed(test)   // turns the function into a timed function in one line
test()               // run your code as normal, logs 'function test took 1001.900ms' 

If you're using async functions you can make timed async and add an await before f(...args), and that should work for those. It gets more complicated if you want one decorator to handle both sync and async functions.

PHPExcel - creating multiple sheets by iteration

You can write different sheets as follows

$objPHPExcel = new PHPExcel();
$objPHPExcel->getProperties()->setCreator("creater");
$objPHPExcel->getProperties()->setLastModifiedBy("Middle field");
$objPHPExcel->getProperties()->setSubject("Subject");
$objWorkSheet = $objPHPExcel->createSheet();
$work_sheet_count=3;//number of sheets you want to create
$work_sheet=0;
while($work_sheet<=$work_sheet_count){ 
     if($work_sheet==0){
         $objWorkSheet->setTitle("Worksheet$work_sheet");
         $objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex($work_sheet)->setCellValue('A1', 'SR No. In sheet 1')->getStyle('A1')->getFont()->setBold(true);
         $objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex($work_sheet)->setCellValueByColumnAndRow($col++, $row++, $i++);//setting value by column and row indexes if needed
     }
     if($work_sheet==1){
         $objWorkSheet->setTitle("Worksheet$work_sheet");
         $objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex($work_sheet)->setCellValue('A1', 'SR No. In sheet 2')->getStyle('A1')->getFont()->setBold(true);
         $objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex($work_sheet)->setCellValueByColumnAndRow($col++, $row++, $i++);//setting value by column and row indexes if needed
     }
     if($work_sheet==2){
         $objWorkSheet = $objPHPExcel->createSheet($work_sheet_count);
         $objWorkSheet->setTitle("Worksheet$work_sheet");
         $objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex($work_sheet)->setCellValue('A1', 'SR No. In sheet 3')->getStyle('A1')->getFont()->setBold(true);
         $objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex($work_sheet)->setCellValueByColumnAndRow($col++, $row++, $i++);//setting value by column and row indexes if needed
     }
     $work_sheet++;
}

$filename='file-name'.'.xls'; //save our workbook as this file name

angular-cli server - how to specify default port

For @angular/cli v6.2.1

The project configuration file angular.json is able to handle multiple projects (workspaces) which can be individually served.

ng config projects.my-test-project.targets.serve.options.port 4201

Where the my-test-project part is the project name what you set with the ng new command just like here:

$ ng new my-test-project
$ cd my-test-project
$ ng config projects.my-test-project.targets.serve.options.port 4201
$ ng serve
** Angular Live Development Server is listening on localhost:4201, open your browser on http://localhost:4201/ **

Legacy:

I usually use the ng set command to change the Angular CLI settings for project level.

ng set defaults.serve.port=4201

It changes change your .angular.cli.json and adds the port settings as it mentioned earlier.

After this change you can use simply ng serve and it going to use the prefered port without the need of specifying it every time.

Where is the <conio.h> header file on Linux? Why can't I find <conio.h>?

That is because is does not exist, since it is bounded to Windows.

Use the standard functions from <stdio.h> instead, such as getc

The suggested ncurses library is good if you want to write console-based GUIs, but I don't think it is what you want.

Vuejs: v-model array in multiple input

You're thinking too DOM, it's a hard as hell habit to break. Vue recommends you approach it data first.

It's kind of hard to tell in your exact situation but I'd probably use a v-for and make an array of finds to push to as I need more.

Here's how I'd set up my instance:

new Vue({
  el: '#app',
  data: {
    finds: []
  },
  methods: {
    addFind: function () {
      this.finds.push({ value: '' });
    }
  }
});

And here's how I'd set up my template:

<div id="app">
  <h1>Finds</h1>
  <div v-for="(find, index) in finds">
    <input v-model="find.value" :key="index">
  </div>
  <button @click="addFind">
    New Find
  </button>
</div>

Although, I'd try to use something besides an index for the key.

Here's a demo of the above: https://jsfiddle.net/crswll/24txy506/9/

How to remove the default arrow icon from a dropdown list (select element)?

Works for all browsers and all versions:

How to send parameters from a notification-click to an activity?

I had the similar problem my application displays message notifications. When there are multiple notifications and clicking each notification it displays that notification detail in a view message activity. I solved the problem of same extra parameters is being received in view message intent.

Here is the code which fixed this. Code for creating the notification Intent.

 Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), viewmessage.class);
    notificationIntent.putExtra("NotificationMessage", notificationMessage);
    notificationIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
    PendingIntent pendingNotificationIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(getApplicationContext(),notificationIndex,notificationIntent,PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
    notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
    notification.setLatestEventInfo(getApplicationContext(), notificationTitle, notificationMessage, pendingNotificationIntent);

Code for view Message Activity.

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    onNewIntent(getIntent());
}

@Override
public void onNewIntent(Intent intent){
    Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
    if(extras != null){
        if(extras.containsKey("NotificationMessage"))
        {
            setContentView(R.layout.viewmain);
            // extract the extra-data in the Notification
            String msg = extras.getString("NotificationMessage");
            txtView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txtMessage);
            txtView.setText(msg);
        }
    }

UPDATE

If you're reading this after June 2017, ix has been deprecated in pandas 0.20.2, so don't use it. Use loc or iloc instead. See comments and other answers to this question.

Unpivot with column name

Your query is very close. You should be able to use the following which includes the subject in the final select list:

select u.name, u.subject, u.marks
from student s
unpivot
(
  marks
  for subject in (Maths, Science, English)
) u;

Why use $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] instead of ""

Using an empty string is perfectly fine and actually much safer than simply using $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].

When using $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] it is very easy to inject malicious data by simply appending /<script>... after the whatever.php part of the URL so you should not use this method and stop using any PHP tutorial that suggests it.

Concat all strings inside a List<string> using LINQ

I have done this using LINQ:

var oCSP = (from P in db.Products select new { P.ProductName });

string joinedString = string.Join(",", oCSP.Select(p => p.ProductName));

socket connect() vs bind()

bind tells the running process to claim a port. i.e, it should bind itself to port 80 and listen for incomming requests. with bind, your process becomes a server. when you use connect, you tell your process to connect to a port that is ALREADY in use. your process becomes a client. the difference is important: bind wants a port that is not in use (so that it can claim it and become a server), and connect wants a port that is already in use (so it can connect to it and talk to the server)

How to Specify Eclipse Proxy Authentication Credentials?

I struggle with this constantly, as it seems it is a different solution every time a new version of Eclipse is released. Here is a solution that doesn't involve displaying your password in the .ini file.

In Eclipse go to Window > Preferences > General > security Secure Storage

In the Password tab click on the "Change Password" button Fill in the security questions. Don't make them to hard. Finish

Now go to Window > Preferences > General > Network connections. Choose "Manual" from drop down. Double click "HTTP" option and enter the Host, Port, Username and Password. Finish

Now go to Window > Preferences > General > security Secure Storage

In the Password tab click on the "Recover Password" button Fill in the security questions. Finish

Eclipse now stores your username and password

How to remove specific element from an array using python

There is an alternative solution to this problem which also deals with duplicate matches.

We start with 2 lists of equal length: emails, otherarray. The objective is to remove items from both lists for each index i where emails[i] == '[email protected]'.

This can be achieved using a list comprehension and then splitting via zip:

emails = ['[email protected]', '[email protected]', '[email protected]']
otherarray = ['some', 'other', 'details']

from operator import itemgetter

res = [(i, j) for i, j in zip(emails, otherarray) if i!= '[email protected]']
emails, otherarray = map(list, map(itemgetter(0, 1), zip(*res)))

print(emails)      # ['[email protected]', '[email protected]']
print(otherarray)  # ['some', 'details']

How to round float numbers in javascript?

Number((6.688689).toFixed(1)); // 6.7

var number = 6.688689;
var roundedNumber = Math.round(number * 10) / 10;

Use toFixed() function.

(6.688689).toFixed(); // equal to "7"
(6.688689).toFixed(1); // equal to "6.7"
(6.688689).toFixed(2); // equal to "6.69"

Customizing Bootstrap CSS template

I think the officially preferred way is now to use Less, and either dynamically override the bootstrap.css (using less.js), or recompile bootstrap.css (using Node or the Less compiler).

From the Bootstrap docs, here's how to override bootstrap.css styles dynamically:

Download the latest Less.js and include the path to it (and Bootstrap) in the <head>.

 <link rel="stylesheet/less" href="/path/to/bootstrap.less">
    <script src="/path/to/less.js"></script>

To recompile the .less files, just save them and reload your page. Less.js compiles them and stores them in local storage.

Or if you prefer to statically compile a new bootstrap.css with your custom styles (for production environments):

Install the LESS command line tool via Node and run the following command:

$ lessc ./less/bootstrap.less > bootstrap.css

How can I retrieve the remote git address of a repo?

The long boring solution, which is not involved with CLI, you can manually navigate to:

your local repo folder ? .git folder (hidden) ? config file

then choose your text editor to open it and look for url located under the [remote "origin"] section.

"Content is not allowed in prolog" when parsing perfectly valid XML on GAE

In my xml file, the header looked like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"? />

In a test file, I was reading the file bytes and decoding the data as UTF-8 (not realizing the header in this file was utf-16) to create a string.

byte[] data = Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get(path));
String dataString = new String(data, "UTF-8");

When I tried to deserialize this string into an object, I was seeing the same error:

javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamException: ParseError at [row,col]:[1,1]
Message: Content is not allowed in prolog.

When I updated the second line to

String dataString = new String(data, "UTF-16");

I was able to deserialize the object just fine. So as Romain had noted above, the encodings need to match.

What does "exec sp_reset_connection" mean in Sql Server Profiler?

Like the other answers said, sp_reset_connection indicates that connection pool is being reused. Be aware of one particular consequence!

Jimmy Mays' MSDN Blog said:

sp_reset_connection does NOT reset the transaction isolation level to the server default from the previous connection's setting.

UPDATE: Starting with SQL 2014, for client drivers with TDS version 7.3 or higher, the transaction isolation levels will be reset back to the default.

ref: SQL Server: Isolation level leaks across pooled connections

Here is some additional information:

What does sp_reset_connection do?

Data access API's layers like ODBC, OLE-DB and System.Data.SqlClient all call the (internal) stored procedure sp_reset_connection when re-using a connection from a connection pool. It does this to reset the state of the connection before it gets re-used, however nowhere is documented what things get reset. This article tries to document the parts of the connection that get reset.

sp_reset_connection resets the following aspects of a connection:

  • All error states and numbers (like @@error)

  • Stops all EC's (execution contexts) that are child threads of a parent EC executing a parallel query

  • Waits for any outstanding I/O operations that is outstanding

  • Frees any held buffers on the server by the connection

  • Unlocks any buffer resources that are used by the connection

  • Releases all allocated memory owned by the connection

  • Clears any work or temporary tables that are created by the connection

  • Kills all global cursors owned by the connection

  • Closes any open SQL-XML handles that are open

  • Deletes any open SQL-XML related work tables

  • Closes all system tables

  • Closes all user tables

  • Drops all temporary objects

  • Aborts open transactions

  • Defects from a distributed transaction when enlisted

  • Decrements the reference count for users in current database which releases shared database locks

  • Frees acquired locks

  • Releases any acquired handles

  • Resets all SET options to the default values

  • Resets the @@rowcount value

  • Resets the @@identity value

  • Resets any session level trace options using dbcc traceon()

  • Resets CONTEXT_INFO to NULL in SQL Server 2005 and newer [ not part of the original article ]

sp_reset_connection will NOT reset:

  • Security context, which is why connection pooling matches connections based on the exact connection string

  • Application roles entered using sp_setapprole, since application roles could not be reverted at all prior to SQL Server 2005. Starting in SQL Server 2005, app roles can be reverted, but only with additional information that is not part of the session. Before closing the connection, application roles need to be manually reverted via sp_unsetapprole using a "cookie" value that is captured when sp_setapprole is executed.

Note: I am including the list here as I do not want it to be lost in the ever transient web.

Rubymine: How to make Git ignore .idea files created by Rubymine

Try git rm -r --cached .idea in your terminal. It disables the change tracking.

Run JavaScript in Visual Studio Code

This is the quickest way for you in my opinion;

  • Open integrated terminal on visual studio code (View > Integrated Terminal)
  • type 'node filename.js'
  • press enter

note: node setup required. (if you have a homebrew just type 'brew install node' on terminal)

note 2: homebrew and node highly recommended if you don't have already.

How to show SVG file on React Native?

I've tried all the above solutions and other solutions outside of the stack and none of working for me. finally, after long research, I've found one solution for my expo project.

If you need it to work in expo, one workaround might be to use https://react-svgr.com/playground/ and move the spreading of props to a G element instead of the SVG root like this:

import * as React from 'react';
import Svg, { G, Path } from 'react-native-svg';

function SvgComponent(props) {
  return (

JUnit: how to avoid "no runnable methods" in test utils classes

Is there a pure CSS way to make an input transparent?

In case you just need the existence of it you could also throw it off the screen with display: fixed; right: -1000px;. It is useful when you need an input for copying to clipboard. :)

Passing parameters in Javascript onClick event

Another simple way ( might not be the best practice) but works like charm. Build the HTML tag of your element(hyperLink or Button) dynamically with javascript, and can pass multiple parameters as well.

// variable to hold the HTML Tags 
var ProductButtonsHTML  ="";

//Run your loop
for (var i = 0; i < ProductsJson.length; i++){
// Build the <input> Tag with the required parameters for Onclick call. Use double quotes.

ProductButtonsHTML += " <input type='button' value='" + ProductsJson[i].DisplayName + "'  
onclick = \"BuildCartById('" + ProductsJson[i].SKU+ "'," + ProductsJson[i].Id + ")\"></input> ";

}

// Add the Tags to the Div's innerHTML.
document.getElementById("divProductsMenuStrip").innerHTML = ProductButtonsHTML;

What is the best (and safest) way to merge a Git branch into master?

I would first make the to-be-merged branch as clean as possible. Run your tests, make sure the state is as you want it. Clean up the new commits by git squash.

Besides KingCrunches answer, I suggest to use

git checkout master
git pull origin master
git merge --squash test
git commit
git push origin master

You might have made many commits in the other branch, which should only be one commit in the master branch. To keep the commit history as clean as possible, you might want to squash all your commits from the test branch into one commit in the master branch (see also: Git: To squash or not to squash?). Then you can also rewrite the commit message to something very expressive. Something that is easy to read and understand, without digging into the code.

edit: You might be interested in

So on GitHub, I end up doing the following for a feature branch mybranch:

Get the latest from origin

$ git checkout master
$ git pull origin master

Find the merge base hash:

$ git merge-base mybranch master
c193ea5e11f5699ae1f58b5b7029d1097395196f

$ git checkout mybranch
$ git rebase -i c193ea5e11f5699ae1f58b5b7029d1097395196f

Now make sure only the first is pick, the rest is s:

pick 00f1e76 Add first draft of the Pflichtenheft
s d1c84b6 Update to two class problem
s 7486cd8 Explain steps better

Next choose a very good commit message and push to GitHub. Make the pull request then.

After the merge of the pull request, you can delete it locally:

$ git branch -d mybranch

and on GitHub

$ git push origin :mybranch

Formatting DataBinder.Eval data

After some searching on the Internet I found that it is in fact very much possible to call a custom method passing the DataBinder.Eval value.

The custom method can be written in the code behind file, but has to be declared public or protected. In my question above, I had mentioned that I tried to write the custom method in the code behind but was getting a run time error. The reason for this was that I had declared the method to be private.

So, in summary the following is a good way to use DataBinder.Eval value to get your desired output:

default.aspx

<asp:Label ID="lblNewsDate" runat="server" Text='<%# GetDateInHomepageFormat(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "publishedDate")) )%>'></asp:Label>

default.aspx.cs code:

public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{

    protected string GetDateInHomepageFormat(DateTime d)
    {

        string retValue = "";

        // Do all processing required and return value

        return retValue;
    }
}

Hope this helps others as well.

Is true == 1 and false == 0 in JavaScript?

Try the strict equality comparison:

if(1 === true)
    document.write("oh!!! that's true");  //**this is not displayed**

The == operator does conversion from one type to another, the === operator doesn't.

How to drop all tables from a database with one SQL query?

I'd just make a small change to @NoDisplayName's answer and use QUOTENAME() on the TABLE_NAME column and also include the TABLE_SCHEMA column encase the tables aren't in the dbo schema.

DECLARE @sql nvarchar(max) = '';

SELECT @sql += 'DROP TABLE ' + QUOTENAME([TABLE_SCHEMA]) + '.' + QUOTENAME([TABLE_NAME]) + ';'
FROM [INFORMATION_SCHEMA].[TABLES]
WHERE [TABLE_TYPE] = 'BASE TABLE';

EXEC SP_EXECUTESQL @sql;

Or using sys schema views (as per @swasheck's comment):

DECLARE @sql nvarchar(max) = '';

SELECT @sql += 'DROP TABLE ' + QUOTENAME([S].[name]) + '.' + QUOTENAME([T].[name]) + ';'
FROM [sys].[tables] AS [T]
INNER JOIN [sys].[schemas] AS [S] ON ([T].[schema_id] = [S].[schema_id])
WHERE [T].[type] = 'U' AND [T].[is_ms_shipped] = 0;

EXEC SP_EXECUTESQL @sql;

C# Error "The type initializer for ... threw an exception

A Type Initializer exception indicates that the type couldn't be created. This would occur typically right before your call to your method when you simply reference that class.

Is the code you have here the complete text of your type? I would be looking for something like an assignment to fail. I see this a lot with getting app settings and things of that nature.

static class RHelper
{
     //If this line of code failed, you'd get this error
     static string mySetting = Settings.MySetting;
} 

You can also see this with static constructors for types.

javascript setTimeout() not working

Two things.

  1. Remove the parenthesis in setTimeout(startTimer(),startInterval);. Keeping the parentheses invokes the function immediately.

  2. Your startTimer function will overwrite the page content with your use of document.write (without the above fix), and wipes out the script and HTML in the process.

PostgreSQL next value of the sequences?

To answer your question literally, here's how to get the next value of a sequence without incrementing it:

SELECT
 CASE WHEN is_called THEN
   last_value + 1
 ELSE
   last_value
 END
FROM sequence_name

Obviously, it is not a good idea to use this code in practice. There is no guarantee that the next row will really have this ID. However, for debugging purposes it might be interesting to know the value of a sequence without incrementing it, and this is how you can do it.

What are carriage return, linefeed, and form feed?

On old paper-printer terminals, advancing to the next line involved two actions: moving the print head back to the beginning of the horizontal scan range (carriage return) and advancing the roll of paper being printed on (line feed).

Since we no longer use paper-printer terminals, those actions aren't really relevant anymore, but the characters used to signal them have stuck around in various incarnations.

Protractor : How to wait for page complete after click a button?

Depending on what you want to do, you can try:

browser.waitForAngular();

or

btnLoginEl.click().then(function() {
  // do some stuff 
}); 

to solve the promise. It would be better if you can do that in the beforeEach.

NB: I noticed that the expect() waits for the promise inside (i.e. getCurrentUrl) to be solved before comparing.

Setting values on a copy of a slice from a DataFrame

This warning comes because your dataframe x is a copy of a slice. This is not easy to know why, but it has something to do with how you have come to the current state of it.

You can either create a proper dataframe out of x by doing

x = x.copy()

This will remove the warning, but it is not the proper way

You should be using the DataFrame.loc method, as the warning suggests, like this:

x.loc[:,'Mass32s'] = pandas.rolling_mean(x.Mass32, 5).shift(-2)

Error: the entity type requires a primary key

The entity type 'DisplayFormatAttribute' requires a primary key to be defined.

In my case I figured out the problem was that I used properties like this:

public string LastName { get; set; }  //OK
public string Address { get; set; }   //OK 
public string State { get; set; }     //OK
public int? Zip { get; set; }         //OK
public EmailAddressAttribute Email { get; set; } // NOT OK
public PhoneAttribute PhoneNumber { get; set; }  // NOT OK

Not sure if there is a better way to solve it but I changed the Email and PhoneNumber attribute to a string. Problem solved.

Are iframes considered 'bad practice'?

I have seen IFRAMEs applied very successfully as an easy way to make dynamic context menus, but the target audience of that web-app was only Internet Explorer users.

I would say that it all depends on your requirements. If you wish to make sure your page works equally well on every browser, avoid IFRAMEs. If you are targeting a narrow and well-known audience (eg. on the local Intranet) and you see a benefit in using IFRAMEs then I would say it's OK to do so.

installing python packages without internet and using source code as .tar.gz and .whl

How to check if object has been disposed in C#

If you're not sure whether the object has been disposed or not, you should call the Dispose method itself rather than methods such as Close. While the framework doesn't guarantee that the Dispose method must run without exceptions even if the object had previously been disposed, it's a common pattern and to my knowledge implemented on all disposable objects in the framework.

The typical pattern for Dispose, as per Microsoft:

public void Dispose() 
{
    Dispose(true);

    // Use SupressFinalize in case a subclass
    // of this type implements a finalizer.
    GC.SuppressFinalize(this);      
}

protected virtual void Dispose(bool disposing)
{
    // If you need thread safety, use a lock around these 
    // operations, as well as in your methods that use the resource.
    if (!_disposed)
    {
        if (disposing) {
            if (_resource != null)
                _resource.Dispose();
                Console.WriteLine("Object disposed.");
        }

        // Indicate that the instance has been disposed.
        _resource = null;
        _disposed = true;   
    }
}

Notice the check on _disposed. If you were to call a Dispose method implementing this pattern, you could call Dispose as many times as you wanted without hitting exceptions.

Parse strings to double with comma and point

You want to treat dot (.) like comma (,). So, replace

if (double.TryParse(values[i, j], out tmp))

with

if (double.TryParse(values[i, j].Replace('.', ','), out tmp))

How to change an element's title attribute using jQuery

Before we write any code, let's discuss the difference between attributes and properties. Attributes are the settings you apply to elements in your HTML markup; the browser then parses the markup and creates DOM objects of various types that contain properties initialized with the values of the attributes. On DOM objects, such as a simple HTMLElement, you almost always want to be working with its properties, not its attributes collection.

The current best practice is to avoid working with attributes unless they are custom or there is no equivalent property to supplement it. Since title does indeed exist as a read/write property on many HTMLElements, we should take advantage of it.

You can read more about the difference between attributes and properties here or here.

With this in mind, let's manipulate that title...

Get or Set an element's title property without jQuery

Since title is a public property, you can set it on any DOM element that supports it with plain JavaScript:

document.getElementById('yourElementId').title = 'your new title';

Retrieval is almost identical; nothing special here:

var elementTitle = document.getElementById('yourElementId').title;

This will be the fastest way of changing the title if you're an optimization nut, but since you wanted jQuery involved:

Get or Set an element's title property with jQuery (v1.6+)

jQuery introduced a new method in v1.6 to get and set properties. To set the title property on an element, use:

$('#yourElementId').prop('title', 'your new title');

If you'd like to retrieve the title, omit the second parameter and capture the return value:

var elementTitle = $('#yourElementId').prop('title');

Check out the prop() API documentation for jQuery.

If you really don't want to use properties, or you're using a version of jQuery prior to v1.6, then you should read on:

Get or Set an element's title attribute with jQuery (versions <1.6)

You can change the title attribute with the following code:

$('#yourElementId').attr('title', 'your new title');

Or retrieve it with:

var elementTitle = $('#yourElementId').attr('title');

Check out the attr() API documentation for jQuery.

Relative instead of Absolute paths in Excel VBA

Just to clarify what yalestar said, this will give you the relative path:

Workbooks.Open FileName:= ThisWorkbook.Path & "\TRICATEndurance Summary.html"

Linux command to print directory structure in the form of a tree

To add Hassou's solution to your .bashrc, try:

alias lst='ls -R | grep ":$" | sed -e '"'"'s/:$//'"'"' -e '"'"'s/[^-][^\/]*\//--/g'"'"' -e '"'"'s/^/   /'"'"' -e '"'"'s/-/|/'"'"

In Javascript, how do I check if an array has duplicate values?

If you have an ES2015 environment (as of this writing: io.js, IE11, Chrome, Firefox, WebKit nightly), then the following will work, and will be fast (viz. O(n)):

function hasDuplicates(array) {
    return (new Set(array)).size !== array.length;
}

If you only need string values in the array, the following will work:

function hasDuplicates(array) {
    var valuesSoFar = Object.create(null);
    for (var i = 0; i < array.length; ++i) {
        var value = array[i];
        if (value in valuesSoFar) {
            return true;
        }
        valuesSoFar[value] = true;
    }
    return false;
}

We use a "hash table" valuesSoFar whose keys are the values we've seen in the array so far. We do a lookup using in to see if that value has been spotted already; if so, we bail out of the loop and return true.


If you need a function that works for more than just string values, the following will work, but isn't as performant; it's O(n2) instead of O(n).

function hasDuplicates(array) {
    var valuesSoFar = [];
    for (var i = 0; i < array.length; ++i) {
        var value = array[i];
        if (valuesSoFar.indexOf(value) !== -1) {
            return true;
        }
        valuesSoFar.push(value);
    }
    return false;
}

The difference is simply that we use an array instead of a hash table for valuesSoFar, since JavaScript "hash tables" (i.e. objects) only have string keys. This means we lose the O(1) lookup time of in, instead getting an O(n) lookup time of indexOf.

How to set auto increment primary key in PostgreSQL?

If you want to use numbers in a sequence, define a new sequence with something like

CREATE SEQUENCE public.your_sequence
    INCREMENT 1
    START 1
    MINVALUE 1
;

and then alter the table to use the sequence for the id:

ALTER TABLE ONLY table ALTER COLUMN id SET DEFAULT nextval('your_sequence'::regclass);

Python: Writing to and Reading from serial port

ser.read(64) should be ser.read(size=64); ser.read uses keyword arguments, not positional.

Also, you're reading from the port twice; what you probably want to do is this:

i=0
for modem in PortList:
    for port in modem:
        try:
            ser = serial.Serial(port, 9600, timeout=1)
            ser.close()
            ser.open()
            ser.write("ati")
            time.sleep(3)
            read_val = ser.read(size=64)
            print read_val
            if read_val is not '':
                print port
        except serial.SerialException:
            continue
        i+=1

Is there a way to pass jvm args via command line to maven?

I think MAVEN_OPTS would be most appropriate for you. See here: http://maven.apache.org/configure.html

In Unix:

Add the MAVEN_OPTS environment variable to specify JVM properties, e.g. export MAVEN_OPTS="-Xms256m -Xmx512m". This environment variable can be used to supply extra options to Maven.

In Win, you need to set environment variable via the dialogue box

Add ... environment variable by opening up the system properties (WinKey + Pause),... In the same dialog, add the MAVEN_OPTS environment variable in the user variables to specify JVM properties, e.g. the value -Xms256m -Xmx512m. This environment variable can be used to supply extra options to Maven.

How can I set the default value for an HTML <select> element?

I would just simply make the first select option value the default and just hide that value in the dropdown with HTML5's new "hidden" feature. Like this:

   <select name="" id="">
     <option hidden value="default">Select An Option</option>
     <option value="1">One</option>
     <option value="2">Two</option>
     <option value="3">Three</option>
     <option value="4">Four</option>
   </select>

In Android, how do I set margins in dp programmatically?

You should use LayoutParams to set your button margins:

LayoutParams params = new LayoutParams(
        LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,      
        LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT
);
params.setMargins(left, top, right, bottom);
yourbutton.setLayoutParams(params);

Depending on what layout you're using you should use RelativeLayout.LayoutParams or LinearLayout.LayoutParams.

And to convert your dp measure to pixel, try this:

Resources r = mContext.getResources();
int px = (int) TypedValue.applyDimension(
        TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP,
        yourdpmeasure, 
        r.getDisplayMetrics()
);

Resetting remote to a certain commit

Use the other answers if you don't mind losing local changes. This method can still wreck your remote if you choose the wrong commit hash to go back to.

If you just want to make the remote match a commit that's anywhere in your local repo:

  1. Do not do any resetting.
  2. Use git log to find the commit you want to the remote to be at. git log -p to see changes, or git log --graph --all --oneline --decorate to see a compact tree.
  3. Copy the commit's hash or its tag, or the name of its branch if it's the tip.
  4. Run a command like:

    git push --force <remote> <commit-ish>:<the remote branch>
    

    e.g.

    git push --force origin 606fdfaa33af1844c86f4267a136d4666e576cdc:master
    

    or

    git push --force staging v2.4.0b2:releases
    

I use convenient alias (git go) for viewing history as in step 2, which can be added like so:

    git config --global alias.go 'log --graph --all --decorate --oneline'`

How to pass parameters or arguments into a gradle task

I think you probably want to view the minification of each set of css as a separate task

task minifyBrandACss(type: com.eriwen.gradle.css.tasks.MinifyCssTask) {
     source = "src/main/webapp/css/brandA/styles.css"
     dest = "${buildDir}/brandA/styles.css"
}

etc etc

BTW executing your minify tasks in an action of the war task seems odd to me - wouldn't it make more sense to make them a dependency of the war task?

Regular expression for 10 digit number without any special characters

An example of how to implement it:

public bool ValidateSocialSecNumber(string socialSecNumber)
{
    //Accepts only 10 digits, no more no less. (Like Mike's answer)
    Regex pattern = new Regex(@"(?<!\d)\d{10}(?!\d)");

    if(pattern.isMatch(socialSecNumber))
    {
        //Do something
        return true;
    }
    else
    {
        return false;
    }
}

You could've also done it in another way by e.g. using Match and then wrapping a try-catch block around the pattern matching. However, if a wrong input is given quite often, it's quite expensive to throw an exception. Thus, I prefer the above way, in simple cases at least.

How to change heatmap.2 color range in R?

I got the color range to be asymmetric simply by changing the symkey argument to FALSE

symm=F,symkey=F,symbreaks=T, scale="none"

Solved the color issue with colorRampPalette with the breaks argument to specify the range of each color, e.g.

colors = c(seq(-3,-2,length=100),seq(-2,0.5,length=100),seq(0.5,6,length=100))

my_palette <- colorRampPalette(c("red", "black", "green"))(n = 299)

Altogether

heatmap.2(as.matrix(SeqCountTable), col=my_palette, 
    breaks=colors, density.info="none", trace="none", 
        dendrogram=c("row"), symm=F,symkey=F,symbreaks=T, scale="none")

programmatically add column & rows to WPF Datagrid

edit: sorry, I no longer have the code mentioned below. It was a neat solution, although complex.


I posted a sample project describing how to use PropertyDescriptor and lambda delegates with dynamic ObservableCollection and DynamicObject to populate a grid with strongly-typed column definitions.

Columns can be added/removed at runtime dynamically. If your data is not a object with known type, you could create a data structure that would enable access by any number of columns and specify a PropertyDescriptor for each "column".

For example:

IList<string> ColumnNames { get; set; }
//dict.key is column name, dict.value is value
Dictionary<string, string> Rows { get; set; }

You can define columns this way:

var descriptors= new List<PropertyDescriptor>();
//retrieve column name from preprepared list or retrieve from one of the items in dictionary
foreach(var columnName in ColumnNames)
    descriptors.Add(new DynamicPropertyDescriptor<Dictionary, string>(ColumnName, x => x[columnName]))
MyItemsCollection = new DynamicDataGridSource(Rows, descriptors) 

Or even better, in case of some real objects

public class User 
{
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
    public string LastName{ get; set; }
    ...
}

You can specify columns strongly typed (related to your data model):

var propertyDescriptors = new List<PropertyDescriptor>
{
    new DynamicPropertyDescriptor<User, string>("First name", x => x.FirstName ),
    new DynamicPropertyDescriptor<User, string>("Last name", x => x.LastName ),
    ...
}

var users = retrieve some users

Users = new DynamicDataGridSource<User>(users, propertyDescriptors, PropertyChangedListeningMode.Handler);

Then you just bind to Users collections and columns are autogenerated as you speficy them. Strings passed to property descriptors are names for column headers. At runtime you can add more PropertyDescriptors to 'Users' add another column to the grid.

jquery - Check for file extension before uploading

The following code allows to upload gif, png, jpg, jpeg and bmp files.

var extension = $('#your_file_id').val().split('.').pop().toLowerCase();

    alert('Sorry, invalid extension.');
    return false;
}

Formatting a double to two decimal places

Since you are working in currency why not simply do this:

Console.Writeline("Earnings this week: {0:c}", answer);

This will format answer as currency, so on my machine (UK) it will come out as:

Earnings this week: £209.00

Table cell widths - fixing width, wrapping/truncating long words

If you want to the long text wrapped properly in new lines then in your table id call use a css property table-layout:fixed; otherwise simply css can't break the long text in new lines.

How I can get and use the header file <graphics.h> in my C++ program?

<graphics.h> is not a standard header. Most commonly it refers to the header for Borland's BGI API for DOS and is antiquated at best.

However it is nicely simple; there is a Win32 implementation of the BGI interface called WinBGIm. It is implemented using Win32 GDI calls - the lowest level Windows graphics interface. As it is provided as source code, it is perhaps a simple way of understanding how GDI works.

WinBGIm however is by no means cross-platform. If all you want are simple graphics primitives, most of the higher level GUI libraries such as wxWidgets and Qt support that too. There are simpler libraries suggested in the possible duplicate answers mentioned in the comments.

Change the spacing of tick marks on the axis of a plot?

There are at least two ways for achieving this in base graph (my examples are for the x-axis, but work the same for the y-axis):

  1. Use par(xaxp = c(x1, x2, n)) or plot(..., xaxp = c(x1, x2, n)) to define the position (x1 & x2) of the extreme tick marks and the number of intervals between the tick marks (n). Accordingly, n+1 is the number of tick marks drawn. (This works only if you use no logarithmic scale, for the behavior with logarithmic scales see ?par.)

  2. You can suppress the drawing of the axis altogether and add the tick marks later with axis().
    To suppress the drawing of the axis use plot(... , xaxt = "n").
    Then call axis() with side, at, and labels: axis(side = 1, at = v1, labels = v2). With side referring to the side of the axis (1 = x-axis, 2 = y-axis), v1 being a vector containing the position of the ticks (e.g., c(1, 3, 5) if your axis ranges from 0 to 6 and you want three marks), and v2 a vector containing the labels for the specified tick marks (must be of same length as v1, e.g., c("group a", "group b", "group c")). See ?axis and my updated answer to a post on stats.stackexchange for an example of this method.

How to instantiate a File object in JavaScript?

According to the W3C File API specification, the File constructor requires 2 (or 3) parameters.

So to create a empty file do:

var f = new File([""], "filename");
  • The first argument is the data provided as an array of lines of text;
  • The second argument is the filename ;
  • The third argument looks like:

    var f = new File([""], "filename.txt", {type: "text/plain", lastModified: date})
    

It works in FireFox, Chrome and Opera, but not in Safari or IE/Edge.

Android - How to download a file from a webserver

Mr.Iam4fun your code answer here..You will use thread...

   findViewById(R.id.download).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {

            new Thread(new Runnable() {
                public void run() {
                    DownloadFiles();
                }
            }).start();

And,then..

 public void DownloadFiles(){

        try {
            URL u = new URL("http://www.qwikisoft.com/demo/ashade/20001.kml");
            InputStream is = u.openStream();

            DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(is);

            byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
            int length;

            FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/" + "data/test.kml"));
            while ((length = dis.read(buffer))>0) {
              fos.write(buffer, 0, length);
            }

          } catch (MalformedURLException mue) {
            Log.e("SYNC getUpdate", "malformed url error", mue);
          } catch (IOException ioe) {
            Log.e("SYNC getUpdate", "io error", ioe);
          } catch (SecurityException se) {
            Log.e("SYNC getUpdate", "security error", se);
          }
}
}

Sure, it will be working..

Which versions of SSL/TLS does System.Net.WebRequest support?

This is an important question. The SSL 3 protocol (1996) is irreparably broken by the Poodle attack published 2014. The IETF have published "SSLv3 MUST NOT be used". Web browsers are ditching it. Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome have already done so.

Two excellent tools for checking protocol support in browsers are SSL Lab's client test and https://www.howsmyssl.com/ . The latter does not require Javascript, so you can try it from .NET's HttpClient:

// set proxy if you need to
// WebRequest.DefaultWebProxy = new WebProxy("http://localhost:3128");

File.WriteAllText("howsmyssl-httpclient.html", new HttpClient().GetStringAsync("https://www.howsmyssl.com").Result);

// alternative using WebClient for older framework versions
// new WebClient().DownloadFile("https://www.howsmyssl.com/", "howsmyssl-webclient.html");

The result is damning:

Your client is using TLS 1.0, which is very old, possibly susceptible to the BEAST attack, and doesn't have the best cipher suites available on it. Additions like AES-GCM, and SHA256 to replace MD5-SHA-1 are unavailable to a TLS 1.0 client as well as many more modern cipher suites.

That's concerning. It's comparable to 2006's Internet Explorer 7.

To list exactly which protocols a HTTP client supports, you can try the version-specific test servers below:

var test_servers = new Dictionary<string, string>();
test_servers["SSL 2"] = "https://www.ssllabs.com:10200";
test_servers["SSL 3"] = "https://www.ssllabs.com:10300";
test_servers["TLS 1.0"] = "https://www.ssllabs.com:10301";
test_servers["TLS 1.1"] = "https://www.ssllabs.com:10302";
test_servers["TLS 1.2"] = "https://www.ssllabs.com:10303";

var supported = new Func<string, bool>(url =>
{
    try { return new HttpClient().GetAsync(url).Result.IsSuccessStatusCode; }
    catch { return false; }
});

var supported_protocols = test_servers.Where(server => supported(server.Value));
Console.WriteLine(string.Join(", ", supported_protocols.Select(x => x.Key)));

I'm using .NET Framework 4.6.2. I found HttpClient supports only SSL 3 and TLS 1.0. That's concerning. This is comparable to 2006's Internet Explorer 7.


Update: It turns HttpClient does support TLS 1.1 and 1.2, but you have to turn them on manually at System.Net.ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol. See https://stackoverflow.com/a/26392698/284795

I don't know why it uses bad protocols out-the-box. That seems a poor setup choice, tantamount to a major security bug (I bet plenty of applications don't change the default). How can we report it?

Splitting on last delimiter in Python string?

Use .rsplit() or .rpartition() instead:

s.rsplit(',', 1)
s.rpartition(',')

str.rsplit() lets you specify how many times to split, while str.rpartition() only splits once but always returns a fixed number of elements (prefix, delimiter & postfix) and is faster for the single split case.

Demo:

>>> s = "a,b,c,d"
>>> s.rsplit(',', 1)
['a,b,c', 'd']
>>> s.rsplit(',', 2)
['a,b', 'c', 'd']
>>> s.rpartition(',')
('a,b,c', ',', 'd')

Both methods start splitting from the right-hand-side of the string; by giving str.rsplit() a maximum as the second argument, you get to split just the right-hand-most occurrences.

Add some word to all or some rows in Excel?

Insert a column, for instance a new A column. Then use this function;

           3333 30-JUL-10           Y

6 rows selected.

An inline view with an analytic LAG() function provides the right answer:

SQL> select Gc_Staff_Number
  2             , start_date
  3             , prev_end_date
  4  from   (
  5      select Gc_Staff_Number
  6             , start_date
  7             , lag (end_date) over (partition by Gc_Staff_Number
  8                                    order by start_date )
  9                  as prev_end_date
 10             , current_flag
 11      from employment_history
 12  )
 13  where current_flag = 'Y'
 14  /

GC_STAFF_NUMBER START_DAT PREV_END_

           3333 30-JUL-10 21-MAR-09

SQL>

The inline view is crucial to getting the right result. Otherwise the filter on CURRENT_FLAG removes the previous rows.

How should a model be structured in MVC?

More oftenly most of the applications will have data,display and processing part and we just put all those in the letters M,V and C.

Model(M)-->Has the attributes that holds state of application and it dont know any thing about V and C.

View(V)-->Has displaying format for the application and and only knows about how-to-digest model on it and does not bother about C.

Controller(C)---->Has processing part of application and acts as wiring between M and V and it depends on both M,V unlike M and V.

Altogether there is separation of concern between each. In future any change or enhancements can be added very easily.

change Oracle user account status from EXPIRE(GRACE) to OPEN

No, you cannot directly change an account status from EXPIRE(GRACE) to OPEN without resetting the password.

The documentation says:

If you cause a database user's password to expire with PASSWORD EXPIRE, then the user (or the DBA) must change the password before attempting to log into the database following the expiration.


However, you can indirectly change the status to OPEN by resetting the user's password hash to the existing value. Unfortunately, setting the password hash to itself has the following complications, and almost every other solution misses at least one of these issues:

  1. Different versions of Oracle use different types of hashes.
  2. The user's profile may prevent re-using passwords.
  3. Profile limits can be changed, but we have to change the values back at the end.
  4. Profile values are not trivial because if the value is DEFAULT, that is a pointer to the DEFAULT profile's value. We may need to recursively check the profile.

The following, ridiculously large PL/SQL block, should handle all of those cases. It should reset any account to OPEN, with the same password hash, regardless of Oracle version or profile settings. And the profile will be changed back to the original limits.

--Purpose: Change a user from EXPIRED to OPEN by setting a user's password to the same value.
--This PL/SQL block requires elevated privileges and should be run as SYS.
--This task is difficult because we need to temporarily change profiles to avoid
--  errors like "ORA-28007: the password cannot be reused".
--
--How to use: Run as SYS in SQL*Plus and enter the username when prompted.

C# Wait until condition is true

After digging a lot of stuff, finally, I came up with a good solution that doesn't hang the CI :) Suit it to your needs!

{
    var tcs = new TaskCompletionSource<int>();
    using(var cancellationTokenSource = new CancellationTokenSource(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(seconds)))
    {
        cancellationTokenSource.Token.Register(() =>
        {
            tcs.SetException(
                new TimeoutException($"Waiting predicate {predicate} for {elem.GetType()} timed out!"));
            tcs.TrySetCanceled();
        });

        while(!cancellationTokenSource.IsCancellationRequested)
        {
            try
            {
                if (!predicate(elem))
                {
                    continue;
                }

How can I split a delimited string into an array in PHP?

Python how to write to a binary file?

Use struct.pack to convert the integer values into binary bytes, then write the bytes. E.g.

newFile.write(struct.pack('5B', *newFileBytes))

However I would never give a binary file a .txt extension.

The benefit of this method is that it works for other types as well, for example if any of the values were greater than 255 you could use '5i' for the format instead to get full 32-bit integers.

Parsing CSV / tab-delimited txt file with Python

If the file is large, you may not want to load it entirely into memory at once. This approach avoids that. (Of course, making a dict out of it could still take up some RAM, but it's guaranteed to be smaller than the original file.)

my_dict = {}
for i, line in enumerate(file):
    if (i - 8) % 7:
        continue
    k, v = line.split("\t")[:3:2]
    my_dict[k] = v

Edit: Not sure where I got extend from before. I meant update

Convert Json string to Json object in Swift 4

Using JSONSerialization always felt unSwifty and unwieldy, but it is even more so with the arrival of Codable in Swift 4. If you wield a [String:Any] in front of a simple struct it will ... hurt. Check out this in a Playground:

import Cocoa

let data = "[{\"form_id\":3465,\"canonical_name\":\"df_SAWERQ\",\"form_name\":\"Activity 4 with Images\",\"form_desc\":null}]".data(using: .utf8)!

struct Form: Codable {
    let id: Int
    let name: String
    let description: String?

    private enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
        case id = "form_id"
        case name = "form_name"
        case description = "form_desc"
    }
}

do {
    let f = try JSONDecoder().decode([Form].self, from: data)
    print(f)
    print(f[0])
} catch {
    print(error)
}

With minimal effort handling this will feel a whole lot more comfortable. And you are given a lot more information if your JSON does not parse properly.

IN vs ANY operator in PostgreSQL

There are two obvious points, as well as the points in the other answer:

  • They are exactly equivalent when using sub queries:

    SELECT * FROM table
    WHERE column IN(subquery);
    
    SELECT * FROM table
    WHERE column = ANY(subquery);
    

On the other hand:

  • Only the IN operator allows a simple list:

    SELECT * FROM table
    WHERE column IN(… , … , …);
    

Presuming they are exactly the same has caught me out several times when forgetting that ANY doesn’t work with lists.

How to get the difference between two arrays in JavaScript?

It feels easier to process this as partial functions to me. Quite surprised not to see a functional programming solution, here is mine in ES6:

}

const contains = (needle) => (array) => {
  for (let i=0; i < array.length; i++) {
    if (array[i] == needle) return true;
  }

  return false;
}

const diff = (compare) => {
    return (array) => array.filter((elem) => !contains(elem)(compare))
}

Getting list of Facebook friends with latest API

Just a heads up for anyone stumbling across this question using v2.0 of the Graph API: This will not work anymore. In v2.0, calling /me/friends only returns a list the person's friends who also use the app:

  • A user access token with user_friends permission is required to view the current person's friends.
  • This will only return any friends who have used (via Facebook Login) the app making the request.
  • If a friend of the person declines the user_friends permission, that friend will not show up in the friend list for this person.

Spool Command: Do not output SQL statement to file

You can directly export the query result with export option in the result grig. This export has various options to export. I think this will work.

I think that once you've imported it, the behaviour is the same (in the place your variable will be used outside source file).

The only difference would be if you try to reassign it before the end of this very file.

How to Troubleshoot Intermittent SQL Timeout Errors

Performance problems boil down to CPU, IO, or Lock contention. It sounds like you have ruled out IO. I would guess CPU is not a problem since this is a database, not a number cruncher. So, that leaves lock contention.

If you can execute a sp_who2 while the queries are timing out, you can use the BlkBy column to trace back to the holding the lock that everyone else is waiting on. Since this is only happening a few times a day, you may have trouble catching enough data if you are running this manually, so I suggest you rig up an automated system to dump this output on a regular basis, or maybe to be triggered by the application timeout exceptions. You can also use the Activity Monitor to watch the degradation of query responsiveness in real-time, as suggested by peer.

Once you find the long-running query and the application that executes it, you can immediately resolve the domino of timeouts by reducing the timeout for that single application below all the others (right now, it must be longer). Then, you should inspect the code to determine a better solution. You could reduce the time the lock is held by committing the transaction sooner within a sproc, or reduce the lock required by the reading query with hints such as NOLOCK or UPDLOCK.

Here's some more reading on sp_who2: http://sqlserverplanet.com/dba/using-sp_who2/

And query hints: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms181714.aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187373.aspx

REST response code for invalid data

I would recommend 422. It's not part of the main HTTP spec, but it is defined by a public standard (WebDAV) and it should be treated by browsers the same as any other 4xx status code.

From RFC 4918:

The 422 (Unprocessable Entity) status code means the server understands the content type of the request entity (hence a 415(Unsupported Media Type) status code is inappropriate), and the syntax of the request entity is correct (thus a 400 (Bad Request) status code is inappropriate) but was unable to process the contained instructions. For example, this error condition may occur if an XML request body contains well-formed (i.e., syntactically correct), but semantically erroneous, XML instructions.

Can I run multiple programs in a Docker container?

You can run 2 processes in foreground by using wait. Just make a bash script with the following content. Eg start.sh:

# runs 2 commands simultaneously:

P1=$!
python script.py & # your second application
P2=$!
wait $P1 $P2

In your Dockerfile, start it with

CMD bash start.sh

Google Maps API v3: InfoWindow not sizing correctly

Importing xsd into wsdl

import vs. include

The primary purpose of an import is to import a namespace. A more common use of the XSD import statement is to import a namespace which appears in another file. You might be gathering the namespace information from the file, but don't forget that it's the namespace that you're importing, not the file (don't confuse an import statement with an include statement).

Another area of confusion is how to specify the location or path of the included .xsd file: An XSD import statement has an optional attribute named schemaLocation but it is not necessary if the namespace of the import statement is at the same location (in the same file) as the import statement itself.

When you do chose to use an external .xsd file for your WSDL, the schemaLocation attribute becomes necessary. Be very sure that the namespace you use in the import statement is the same as the targetNamespace of the schema you are importing. That is, all 3 occurrences must be identical:

WSDL:

xs:import namespace="urn:listing3" schemaLocation="listing3.xsd"/>

XSD:

<xsd:schema targetNamespace="urn:listing3"
            xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> 

Another approach to letting know the WSDL about the XSD is through Maven's pom.xml:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
  <artifactId>xmlbeans-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <id>generate-sources-xmlbeans</id>
      <phase>generate-sources</phase>
      <goals>
    <goal>xmlbeans</goal>
      </goals>
    </execution>
  </executions>
  <version>2.3.3</version>
  <inherited>true</inherited>
  <configuration>
    <schemaDirectory>${basedir}/src/main/xsd</schemaDirectory>
  </configuration>
</plugin>

You can read more on this in this great IBM article. It has typos such as xsd:import instead of xs:import but otherwise it's fine.

What can <f:metadata>, <f:viewParam> and <f:viewAction> be used for?

Process GET parameters

The <f:viewParam> manages the setting, conversion and validation of GET parameters. It's like the <h:inputText>, but then for GET parameters.

The following example

<f:metadata>
    <f:viewParam name="id" value="#{bean.id}" />
</f:metadata>

does basically the following:

  • Get the request parameter value by name id.
  • Convert and validate it if necessary (you can use required, validator and converter attributes and nest a <f:converter> and <f:validator> in it like as with <h:inputText>)
  • If conversion and validation succeeds, then set it as a bean property represented by #{bean.id} value, or if the value attribute is absent, then set it as request attribtue on name id so that it's available by #{id} in the view.

So when you open the page as foo.xhtml?id=10 then the parameter value 10 get set in the bean this way, right before the view is rendered.

As to validation, the following example sets the param to required="true" and allows only values between 10 and 20. Any validation failure will result in a message being displayed.

<f:metadata>
    <f:viewParam id="id" name="id" value="#{bean.id}" required="true">
        <f:validateLongRange minimum="10" maximum="20" />
    </f:viewParam>
</f:metadata>
<h:message for="id" />

Performing business action on GET parameters

You can use the <f:viewAction> for this.

<f:metadata>
    <f:viewParam id="id" name="id" value="#{bean.id}" required="true">
        <f:validateLongRange minimum="10" maximum="20" />
    </f:viewParam>
    <f:viewAction action="#{bean.onload}" />
</f:metadata>
<h:message for="id" />

with

public void onload() {
    // ...
}

The <f:viewAction> is however new since JSF 2.2 (the <f:viewParam> already exists since JSF 2.0). If you can't upgrade, then your best bet is using <f:event> instead.

<f:event type="preRenderView" listener="#{bean.onload}" />

This is however invoked on every request. You need to explicitly check if the request isn't a postback:

public void onload() {
    if (!FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().isPostback()) {
        // ...
    }
}

When you would like to skip "Conversion/Validation failed" cases as well, then do as follows:

public void onload() {
    FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    if (!facesContext.isPostback() && !facesContext.isValidationFailed()) {
        // ...
    }
}

Using <f:event> this way is in essence a workaround/hack, that's exactly why the <f:viewAction> was introduced in JSF 2.2.


Pass view parameters to next view

You can "pass-through" the view parameters in navigation links by setting includeViewParams attribute to true or by adding includeViewParams=true request parameter.

<h:link outcome="next" includeViewParams="true">
<!-- Or -->
<h:link outcome="next?includeViewParams=true">

which generates with the above <f:metadata> example basically the following link

<a href="next.xhtml?id=10">

with the original parameter value.

This approach only requires that next.xhtml has also a <f:viewParam> on the very same parameter, otherwise it won't be passed through.


Use GET forms in JSF

The <f:viewParam> can also be used in combination with "plain HTML" GET forms.

<f:metadata>
    <f:viewParam id="query" name="query" value="#{bean.query}" />
    <f:viewAction action="#{bean.search}" />
</f:metadata>
...
<form>
    <label for="query">Query</label>
    <input type="text" name="query" value="#{empty bean.query ? param.query : bean.query}" />
    <input type="submit" value="Search" />
    <h:message for="query" />
</form>
...
<h:dataTable value="#{bean.results}" var="result" rendered="#{not empty bean.results}">
     ...
</h:dataTable>

With basically this @RequestScoped bean:

private String query;
private List<Result> results;

public void search() {
    results = service.search(query);
}

Note that the <h:message> is for the <f:viewParam>, not the plain HTML <input type="text">! Also note that the input value displays #{param.query} when #{bean.query} is empty, because the submitted value would otherwise not show up at all when there's a validation or conversion error. Please note that this construct is invalid for JSF input components (it is doing that "under the covers" already).

How can I get browser to prompt to save password?

This work much better for me, because it's 100% ajaxed and the browser detects the login.

<form id="loginform" action="javascript:login(this);" >
 <label for="username">Username</label>
 <input name="username" type="text" value="" required="required" />
 <label for="password">Password</label>
 <input name="password" type="password" value="" required="required" />
 <a href="#" onclick="document.getElementById("loginform").submit();"  >Login</a>
</form>

Stripping non printable characters from a string in python

As far as I know, the most pythonic/efficient method would be:

import string

filtered_string = filter(lambda x: x in string.printable, myStr)

Align two inline-blocks left and right on same line

New ways to align items right:

Grid:

.header {
        display:grid;
        grid-template-columns: 1fr auto;
    }

Demo

Bootstrap 4. Align right:

<div class="row">
      <div class="col">left</div>
      <div class="col">
          <div class="float-right">element needs to be right aligned</div>
      </div>

Rotating a Div Element in jQuery

Cross-browser rotate for any element. Works in IE7 and IE8. In IE7 it looks like not working in JSFiddle but in my project worked also in IE7

http://jsfiddle.net/RgX86/24/

var elementToRotate = $('#rotateMe');
var degreeOfRotation = 33;

var deg = degreeOfRotation;
var deg2radians = Math.PI * 2 / 360;
var rad = deg * deg2radians ;
var costheta = Math.cos(rad);
var sintheta = Math.sin(rad);

var m11 = costheta;
var m12 = -sintheta;
var m21 = sintheta;
var m22 = costheta;
var matrixValues = 'M11=' + m11 + ', M12='+ m12 +', M21='+ m21 +', M22='+ m22;

elementToRotate.css('-webkit-transform','rotate('+deg+'deg)')
    .css('-moz-transform','rotate('+deg+'deg)')
    .css('-ms-transform','rotate('+deg+'deg)')
    .css('transform','rotate('+deg+'deg)')
    .css('filter', 'progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Matrix(sizingMethod=\'auto expand\','+matrixValues+')')
    .css('-ms-filter', 'progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Matrix(SizingMethod=\'auto expand\','+matrixValues+')');

Edit 13/09/13 15:00 Wrapped in a nice and easy, chainable, jquery plugin.

Example of use

$.fn.rotateElement = function(angle) {
    var elementToRotate = this,
        deg = angle,
        deg2radians = Math.PI * 2 / 360,
        rad = deg * deg2radians ,
        costheta = Math.cos(rad),
        sintheta = Math.sin(rad),

        m11 = costheta,
        m12 = -sintheta,
        m21 = sintheta,
        m22 = costheta,
        matrixValues = 'M11=' + m11 + ', M12='+ m12 +', M21='+ m21 +', M22='+ m22;

    elementToRotate.css('-webkit-transform','rotate('+deg+'deg)')

Is it possible to install both 32bit and 64bit Java on Windows 7?

As stated by pnt you can have multiple versions of both 32bit and 64bit Java installed at the same time on the same machine.

Taking it further from there: Here's how it might be possible to set any runtime parameters for each of those installations:

You can run javacpl.exe or javacpl.cpl of the respective Java-version itself (bin-folder). The specific control panel opens fine. Adding parameters there is possible.

What is a database transaction?

I think a transaction is an atomic action in terms of DBMS.

that means it cannot be seperated. yes, in a transction, there may be several instructions for the system to execute. but they are binded together to finished a single basic task.

for example. you need to walk through a bridge (let's treat this as a transction), and to do this, say, you need 100 steps. overall, these steps cannot be seperated. when you've done half of them, there is only two choice for you: continue to finish them all, and go back to the start point. it's just like the to result of a transaction: success( committed ) and fail( rollback )

How to find good looking font color if background color is known?

I have implemented something similar for a different reason - that was code to tell the end user whether the foreground and background colors that they selected would result in unreadable text. To do this, rather than examining the RGB values, I converted the color value to HSL/HSV and then determined by experimentation what my cutoff point was for readability when comparing the fg and bg values. This is something you may want/need to consider.

What is the correct way to read a serial port using .NET framework?

    using System;
    using System.IO.Ports;
    using System.Threading;

    namespace SerialReadTest
    {
        class SerialRead
        {
            static void Main(string[] args)
            {
        Console.WriteLine("Serial read init");
        SerialPort port = new SerialPort("COM6", 115200, Parity.None, 8, StopBits.One);
        port.Open();
        while(true){
          Console.WriteLine(port.ReadLine());
        }

    }
}
}

How can I strip first X characters from string using sed?

The following should work:

var="pid: 1234"
var=${var:5}

Are you sure bash is the shell executing your script?

Even the POSIX-compliant

var=${var#?????}

would be preferable to using an external process, although this requires you to hard-code the 5 in the form of a fixed-length pattern.

Capture Signature using HTML5 and iPad

Perhaps the best two browser techs for this are Canvas, with Flash as a back up.

We tried VML on IE as backup for Canvas, but it was much slower than Flash. SVG was slower then all the rest.

With jSignature ( http://willowsystems.github.com/jSignature/ ) we used Canvas as primary, with fallback to Flash-based Canvas emulator (FlashCanvas) for IE8 and less. Id' say worked very well for us.

How can I customize the tab-to-space conversion factor?

If you use the prettier extension in Visual Studio Code, try adding this to the settings.json file:

"editor.insertSpaces": false,
"editor.tabSize": 4,
"editor.detectIndentation": false,

"prettier.tabWidth": 4,
"prettier.useTabs": true  // This made it finally work for me

Table and Index size in SQL Server

To see a single table's (and its indexes) storage data:

exec sp_spaceused MyTable

git still shows files as modified after adding to .gitignore

Your .gitignore is working, but it still tracks the files because they were already in the index.

To stop this you have to do : git rm -r --cached .idea/

When you commit the .idea/ directory will be removed from your git repository and the following commits will ignore the .idea/ directory.

PS: You could use .idea/ instead of .idea/* to ignore a directory. You can find more info about the patterns on the .gitignore man page.


Helpful quote from the git-rm man page

--cached
    Use this option to unstage and remove paths only from the index. 
    Working tree files, whether modified or not, will be left alone.

What are ABAP and SAP?

  • SAP SE is a German multinational that makes enterprise software. It is best known for SAP ERP and its predecessors (SAP R/2 & SAP R/3). As the name suggests, SAP ERP is an ERP system, which basically means that it supports a wide range of business processes from warehouse management and sales to HR, business intelligence, etc.

    Although SAP ERP isn't the only software sold by SAP, people are typically refering to SAP ERP when they say "they're using SAP at work". It's important to note, though, that SAP is the name of the company and no software is sold or licensed as just "SAP".

  • ABAP is a 4GL programming language created by SAP, and commonly compared with OpenEdge ABL or COBOL. Much of SAP's software is written in ABAP. SAP provides an ABAP Workbench, which is a collection of tools that allows third party developers to develop, test and run custom ABAP programs within the SAP ERP system. The ABAP Workbench is typically used only when business logic cannot be implemented in SAP ERP by means of mere configuration.

How to redirect the output of print to a TXT file

Usinge the file argument in the print function, you can have different files per print:

How does one represent the empty char?

There is no such thing as the "empty character" ''.

If you need a space character, that can be represented as a space: c[i] = ' ' or as its ASCII octal equivalent: c[i] = '\040'. If you need a NUL character that's c[i] = '\0'.

Finding the Eclipse Version Number

Based on Neeme Praks' answer, the below code should give you the version of eclipse ide you're running within.

In my case, I was running in an eclipse-derived product, so Neeme's answer just gave me the version of that product. The OP asked how to find the Eclipse version, whih is what I was after. Therefore I needed to make a couple of changes, leading me to this:

    /**
     * Attempts to get the version of the eclipse ide we're running in.
     * @return the version, or null if it couldn't be detected.
     */
    static Version getEclipseVersion() {
        String product = "org.eclipse.platform.ide";
        IExtensionRegistry registry = Platform.getExtensionRegistry();
        IExtensionPoint point = registry.getExtensionPoint("org.eclipse.core.runtime.products");
        if (point != null) {
            IExtension[] extensions = point.getExtensions();
            for (IExtension ext : extensions) {
                if (product.equals(ext.getUniqueIdentifier())) {
                    IContributor contributor = ext.getContributor();
                    if (contributor != null) {
                        Bundle bundle = Platform.getBundle(contributor.getName());
                        if (bundle != null) {
                            return bundle.getVersion();
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        return null;
    }

This will return you a convenient Version, which can be compared thus:

    private static final Version DESIRED_MINIMUM_VERSION = new Version("4.9"); //other constructors are available
    boolean haveAtLeastMinimumDesiredVersion()
        Version thisVersion = getEclipseVersion();
        if (thisVersion == null) {
            //we might have a problem
        }
        //returns a positive number if thisVersion is greater than the given parameter (desiredVersion)
        return thisVersion.compareTo(DESIRED_MINIMUM_VERSION) >= 0;
    }

How do I copy SQL Azure database to my local development server?

Copy Azure database data to local database: Now you can use the SQL Server Management Studio to do this as below:

  • Connect to the SQL Azure database.
  • Right click the database in Object Explorer.
  • Choose the option "Tasks" / "Deploy Database to SQL Azure".
  • In the step named "Deployment Settings", connect local SQL Server and create New database.

HTTP POST and GET using cURL in Linux

I think Amith Koujalgi is correct but also, in cases where the webservice responses are in JSON then it might be more useful to see the results in a clean JSON format instead of a very long string. Just add | grep }| python -mjson.tool to the end of curl commands here is two examples:

GET approach with JSON result

curl -i -H "Accept: application/json" http://someHostName/someEndpoint | grep }| python -mjson.tool 

POST approach with JSON result

curl -X POST  -H "Accept: Application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://someHostName/someEndpoint -d '{"id":"IDVALUE","name":"Mike"}' | grep }| python -mjson.tool

Python Prime number checker

This example is use reduce(), but slow it:

def makepnl(pnl, n):
    for p in pnl:
        if n % p == 0:
            return pnl
    pnl.append(n)
    return pnl

def isprime(n):
    return True if n == reduce(makepnl, range(3, n + 1, 2), [2])[-1] else False

for i in range(20):
    print i, isprime(i)

    if limit > 3:
        yield 3

    import math
    is_prime = [False] * (limit + 1)

                is_prime[n] = not is_prime[n]
            n = 3*x**2+y**2
            if n<= limit and n%12==7:
                # print "Second if"                                                                                                                 
                is_prime[n] = not is_prime[n]
            n = 3*x**2 - y**2
            if x>y and n<=limit and n%12==11:

Android Layout Right Align

If you want to use LinearLayout, you can do alignment with layout_weight with Space element.

E.g. following layout places textView and textView2 next to each other and textView3 will be right-aligned

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

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
        android:text="Medium Text"
        android:id="@+id/textView" />

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
        android:text="Medium Text"
        android:id="@+id/textView2" />

    <Space
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:layout_height="20dp" />

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
        android:text="Medium Text"
        android:id="@+id/textView3" />
</LinearLayout>

you can achieve the same effect without Space if you would set layout_weight to textView2. It's just that I like things more separated, plus to demonstrate Space element.

    <TextView
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"
        android:text="Medium Text"
        android:id="@+id/textView2" />

Note that you should (not must though) set layout_width explicitly as it will be recalculated according to it's weight anyway (same way you should set height in elements of vertical LinearLayout). For other layout performance tips see Android Layout Tricks series.

Convert UTC date time to local date time

function getUTC(str) {
    var arr = str.split(/[- :]/);
    var utc = new Date(arr[0], arr[1]-1, arr[2], arr[3], arr[4], arr[5]);
    utc.setTime(utc.getTime() - utc.getTimezoneOffset()*60*1000)
    return utc;
}

For others who visit - use this function to get a Local date object from a UTC string, should take care of DST and will work on IE, IPhone etc.

We split the string (Since JS Date parsing is not supported on some browsers) We get difference from UTC and subtract it from the UTC time, which gives us local time. Since offset returned is calculated with DST (correct me if I am wrong), so it will set that time back in the variable "utc". Finally return the date object.

The POM for project is missing, no dependency information available

The scope <scope>provided</scope> gives you an opportunity to tell that the jar would be available at runtime, so do not bundle it. It does not mean that you do not need it at compile time, hence maven would try to download that.

Now I think, the below maven artifact do not exist at all. I tries searching google, but not able to find. Hence you are getting this issue.

Change groupId to <groupId>net.sourceforge.ant4x</groupId> to get the latest jar.

<dependency>
  <groupId>net.sourceforge.ant4x</groupId>
  <artifactId>ant4x</artifactId>
  <version>${net.sourceforge.ant4x-version}</version>
  <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

Another solution for this problem is:

  1. Run your own maven repo.
  2. download the jar
  3. Install the jar into the repository.
  4. Add a code in your pom.xml something like:

Where http://localhost/repo is your local repo URL:

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>wmc-central</id>
        <url>http://localhost/repo</url>
    </repository>
    <-- Other repository config ... -->

Webpack how to build production code and how to use it

You can add the plugins as suggested by @Vikramaditya. Then to generate the production build. You have to run the the command

NODE_ENV=production webpack --config ./webpack.production.config.js

If using babel, you will also need to prefix BABEL_ENV=node to the above command.

Display html text in uitextview

For Swift3

    let theString = "<h1>H1 title</h1><b>Logo</b><img src='http://www.aver.com/Images/Shared/logo-color.png'><br>~end~"

    let theAttributedString = try! NSAttributedString(data: theString.dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding, allowLossyConversion: false)!,
        options: [NSDocumentTypeDocumentAttribute: NSHTMLTextDocumentType],
        documentAttributes: nil)

    UITextView_Message.attributedText = theAttributedString

How to delete a folder with files using Java

One more choice is to use Spring's org.springframework.util.FileSystemUtils relevant method which will recursively delete all content of the directory.

File directoryToDelete = new File(<your_directory_path_to_delete>);
FileSystemUtils.deleteRecursively(directoryToDelete);

That will do the job!

How to get resources directory path programmatically

import org.springframework.core.io.ClassPathResource;

...

File folder = new ClassPathResource("sql").getFile();
File[] listOfFiles = folder.listFiles();

It is worth noting that this will limit your deployment options, ClassPathResource.getFile() only works if the container has exploded (unzipped) your war file.

How do I (or can I) SELECT DISTINCT on multiple columns?

If you put together the answers so far, clean up and improve, you would arrive at this superior query:

UPDATE sales
SET    status = 'ACTIVE'
WHERE  (saleprice, saledate) IN (
    SELECT saleprice, saledate
    FROM   sales
    GROUP  BY saleprice, saledate
    HAVING count(*) = 1 
    );

Which is much faster than either of them. Nukes the performance of the currently accepted answer by factor 10 - 15 (in my tests on PostgreSQL 8.4 and 9.1).

But this is still far from optimal. Use a NOT EXISTS (anti-)semi-join for even better performance. EXISTS is standard SQL, has been around forever (at least since PostgreSQL 7.2, long before this question was asked) and fits the presented requirements perfectly:

UPDATE sales s
SET    status = 'ACTIVE'
WHERE  NOT EXISTS (
   SELECT FROM sales s1                     -- SELECT list can be empty for EXISTS
   WHERE  s.saleprice = s1.saleprice
   AND    s.saledate  = s1.saledate
   AND    s.id <> s1.id                     -- except for row itself
   )
AND    s.status IS DISTINCT FROM 'ACTIVE';  -- avoid empty updates. see below

Old SQL Fiddle

Unique key to identify row

If you don't have a primary or unique key for the table (id in the example), you can substitute with the system column ctid for the purpose of this query (but not for some other purposes):

   AND    s1.ctid <> s.ctid

Every table should have a primary key. Add one if you didn't have one, yet. I suggest a serial or an IDENTITY column in Postgres 10+.

How is this faster?

The subquery in the EXISTS anti-semi-join can stop evaluating as soon as the first dupe is found (no point in looking further). For a base table with few duplicates this is only mildly more efficient. With lots of duplicates this becomes way more efficient.

Exclude empty updates

For rows that already have status = 'ACTIVE' this update would not change anything, but still insert a new row version at full cost (minor exceptions apply). Normally, you do not want this. Add another WHERE condition like demonstrated above to avoid this and make it even faster:

If status is defined NOT NULL, you can simplify to:

AND status <> 'ACTIVE';

The data type of the column must support the <> operator. Some types like json don't. See:

Subtle difference in NULL handling

This query (unlike the currently accepted answer by Joel) does not treat NULL values as equal. The following two rows for (saleprice, saledate) would qualify as "distinct" (though looking identical to the human eye):

(123, NULL)
(123, NULL)

Also passes in a unique index and almost anywhere else, since NULL values do not compare equal according to the SQL standard. See:

OTOH, GROUP BY, DISTINCT or DISTINCT ON () treat NULL values as equal. Use an appropriate query style depending on what you want to achieve. You can still use this faster query with IS NOT DISTINCT FROM instead of = for any or all comparisons to make NULL compare equal. More:

If all columns being compared are defined NOT NULL, there is no room for disagreement.

jQuery: enabling/disabling datepicker

   $("#datepicker").datepicker({
     dateFormat:'dd/M/yy',
     minDate: 'now',
     changeMonth:true,
     changeYear:true,
     showOn: "focus",
    // buttonImage: "YourImage",
     buttonImageOnly: true, 
     yearRange: "-100:+0",  
  }); 

  $( "#datepicker" ).datepicker( "option", "disabled", true ); //missing ID selector

Python: get key of index in dictionary

You could do something like this:

i={'foo':'bar', 'baz':'huh?'}
keys=i.keys()  #in python 3, you'll need `list(i.keys())`
values=i.values()
print keys[values.index("bar")]  #'foo'

However, any time you change your dictionary, you'll need to update your keys,values because dictionaries are not ordered in versions of Python prior to 3.7. In these versions, any time you insert a new key/value pair, the order you thought you had goes away and is replaced by a new (more or less random) order. Therefore, asking for the index in a dictionary doesn't make sense.

As of Python 3.6, for the CPython implementation of Python, dictionaries remember the order of items inserted. As of Python 3.7+ dictionaries are ordered by order of insertion.

Also note that what you're asking is probably not what you actually want. There is no guarantee that the inverse mapping in a dictionary is unique. In other words, you could have the following dictionary:

d={'i':1, 'j':1}

In that case, it is impossible to know whether you want i or j and in fact no answer here will be able to tell you which ('i' or 'j') will be picked (again, because dictionaries are unordered). What do you want to happen in that situation? You could get a list of acceptable keys ... but I'm guessing your fundamental understanding of dictionaries isn't quite right.

Double decimal formatting in Java

Use String.format:

String.format("%.2f", 4.52135);

As per docs:

The locale always used is the one returned by Locale.getDefault().

Display Yes and No buttons instead of OK and Cancel in Confirm box?

If you switch to the jQuery UI Dialog box, you can initialize the buttons array with the appropriate names like:

$("#id").dialog({
  buttons: {
    "Yes": function() {},
    "No": function() {}
  }
});

Getting Access Denied when calling the PutObject operation with bucket-level permission

I was just banging my head against a wall just trying to get S3 uploads to work with large files. Initially my error was:

An error occurred (AccessDenied) when calling the CreateMultipartUpload operation: Access Denied

Then I tried copying a smaller file and got:

An error occurred (AccessDenied) when calling the PutObject operation: Access Denied

I could list objects fine but I couldn't do anything else even though I had s3:* permissions in my Role policy. I ended up reworking the policy to this:

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "s3:PutObject",
                "s3:GetObject",
                "s3:DeleteObject"
            ],
            "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::my-bucket/*"
        },
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "s3:ListBucketMultipartUploads",
                "s3:AbortMultipartUpload",
                "s3:ListMultipartUploadParts"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:s3:::my-bucket",
                "arn:aws:s3:::my-bucket/*"
            ]
        },
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": "s3:ListBucket",
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
}

Now I'm able to upload any file. Replace my-bucket with your bucket name. I hope this helps somebody else that's going thru this.

How can query string parameters be forwarded through a proxy_pass with nginx?

you have to use rewrite to pass params using proxy_pass here is example I did for angularjs app deployment to s3

S3 Static Website Hosting Route All Paths to Index.html

adopted to your needs would be something like

location /service/ {
    rewrite ^\/service\/(.*) /$1 break;
    proxy_pass http://apache;
}

if you want to end up in http://127.0.0.1:8080/query/params/

if you want to end up in http://127.0.0.1:8080/service/query/params/ you'll need something like

location /service/ {
    rewrite ^\/(.*) /$1 break;
    proxy_pass http://apache;
}

replacing NA's with 0's in R dataframe

What Tyler Rinker says is correct:

AQ2 <- airquality
AQ2[is.na(AQ2)] <- 0

will do just this.

What you are originally doing is that you are taking from airquality all those rows (cases) that are complete. So, all the cases that do not have any NA's in them, and keep only those.

Recommended Fonts for Programming?

I have been using Proggy Clean TT with Visual Studio for a couple of years now. I like the ability to choose a zero slashed font so when management decides to program instead of manage they don't confuse 0101 with 0101(zeros).

Using :after to clear floating elements

No, you don't it's enough to do something like this:

<ul class="clearfix">
  <li>one</li>
  <li>two></li>
</ul>

And the following CSS:

ul li {float: left;}


.clearfix:after {
  content: ".";
  display: block;
  clear: both;
  visibility: hidden;
  line-height: 0;
  height: 0;
}

.clearfix {
  display: inline-block;
}

html[xmlns] .clearfix {
   display: block;
}

* html .clearfix {
   height: 1%;

Does Java read integers in little endian or big endian?

There are no unsigned integers in Java. All integers are signed and in big endian.

On the C side the each byte has tne LSB at the start is on the left and the MSB at the end.

It sounds like you are using LSB as Least significant bit, are you? LSB usually stands for least significant byte. Endianness is not bit based but byte based.

To convert from unsigned byte to a Java integer:

int i = (int) b & 0xFF;

To convert from unsigned 32-bit little-endian in byte[] to Java long (from the top of my head, not tested):

long l = (long)b[0] & 0xFF;
l += ((long)b[1] & 0xFF) << 8;
l += ((long)b[2] & 0xFF) << 16;
l += ((long)b[3] & 0xFF) << 24;
