Java generics - why is "extends T" allowed but not "implements T"?

We are used to

class ClassTypeA implements InterfaceTypeA {}
class ClassTypeB extends ClassTypeA {}

and any slight deviation from these rules greatly confuses us.

The syntax of a type bound is defined as

TypeBound:
    extends TypeVariable 
    extends ClassOrInterfaceType {AdditionalBound}

^{(JLS 12 > 4.4. Type Variables > TypeBound)}

If we were to change it, we would surely add the implements case

TypeBound:
    extends TypeVariable 
    extends ClassType {AdditionalBound}
    implements InterfaceType {AdditionalBound}

and end up with two identically processed clauses

ClassOrInterfaceType:
    ClassType 
    InterfaceType

^{(JLS 12 > 4.3. Reference Types and Values > ClassOrInterfaceType)}

except we would also need to take care of implements, which would complicate things further.

I believe it's the main reason why extends ClassOrInterfaceType is used instead of extends ClassType and implements InterfaceType - to keep things simple within the complicated concept. The problem is we don't have the right word to cover both extends and implements and we definitely don't want to introduce one.

~~<T is ClassTypeA>~~
~~<T is InterfaceTypeA>~~

Although extends brings some mess when it goes along with an interface, it's a broader term and it can be used to describe both cases. Try to tune your mind to the concept of extending a type (not ~~extending a class~~, not ~~implementing an interface~~). You restrict a type parameter by another type and it doesn't matter what that type actually is. It only matters that it's its upper bound and it's its supertype.

Show Console in Windows Application?

Easiest way is to start a WinForms application, go to settings and change the type to a console application.

Difference between Spring MVC and Spring Boot

Think this way:

Spring MVC is a web based framework to implement the MVC architecture.

Spring Boot is a tool oriented to the programmer. Programmer must focus on programming and tool must focus on configurations. So we don't need to wast our time configuring a bunch of xml to make a simple 'Hello world'.

"Error 404 Not Found" in Magento Admin Login Page

I have just copied and moved a Magento site to a local area so I could work on it offline and had the same problem.

But in the end I found out Magento was forcing a redirect from http to https and I didn't have a SSL setup. So this solved my problem http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/recover/ssl_access_with_phpmyadmin

It pretty much says set web/secure/use_in_adminhtml value from 1 to 0 in the core_config_data to allow non-secure access to the admin area

Returning value from Thread

From Java 8 onwards we have CompletableFuture. On your case, you may use the method supplyAsync to get the result after execution.

Please find some reference here.

    CompletableFuture<Integer> completableFuture
      = CompletableFuture.supplyAsync(() -> yourMethod());

   completableFuture.get() //gives you the value

Using HTML5 file uploads with AJAX and jQuery

It's not too hard. Firstly, take a look at FileReader Interface.

So, when the form is submitted, catch the submission process and

var file = document.getElementById('fileBox').files[0]; //Files[0] = 1st file
var reader = new FileReader();
reader.readAsText(file, 'UTF-8');
reader.onload = shipOff;
//reader.onloadstart = ...
//reader.onprogress = ... <-- Allows you to update a progress bar.
//reader.onabort = ...
//reader.onerror = ...
//reader.onloadend = ...


function shipOff(event) {
    var result = event.target.result;
    var fileName = document.getElementById('fileBox').files[0].name; //Should be 'picture.jpg'
    $.post('/myscript.php', { data: result, name: fileName }, continueSubmission);
}

Then, on the server side (i.e. myscript.php):

$data = $_POST['data'];
$fileName = $_POST['name'];
$serverFile = time().$fileName;
$fp = fopen('/uploads/'.$serverFile,'w'); //Prepends timestamp to prevent overwriting
fwrite($fp, $data);
fclose($fp);
$returnData = array( "serverFile" => $serverFile );
echo json_encode($returnData);

Or something like it. I may be mistaken (and if I am, please, correct me), but this should store the file as something like 1287916771myPicture.jpg in /uploads/ on your server, and respond with a JSON variable (to a continueSubmission() function) containing the fileName on the server.

Check out fwrite() and jQuery.post().

On the above page it details how to use readAsBinaryString(), readAsDataUrl(), and readAsArrayBuffer() for your other needs (e.g. images, videos, etc).

Assign multiple values to array in C

typedef struct{
  char array[4];
}my_array;

my_array array = { .array = {1,1,1,1} }; // initialisation

void assign(my_array a)
{
  array.array[0] = a.array[0];
  array.array[1] = a.array[1];
  array.array[2] = a.array[2];
  array.array[3] = a.array[3]; 
}

char num = 5;
char ber = 6;

int main(void)
{
  printf("%d\n", array.array[0]);
// ...

  // this works even after initialisation
  assign((my_array){ .array = {num,ber,num,ber} });

  printf("%d\n", array.array[0]);
// ....
  return 0;
}

How to update the value stored in Dictionary in C#?

How to find sum of multiple columns in a table in SQL Server 2005?

Easy:

SELECT 
   Val1,
   Val2,
   Val3,
   (Val1 + Val2 + Val3) as 'Total'
FROM Emp

or if you just want one row:

SELECT 
   SUM(Val1) as 'Val1',
   SUM(Val2) as 'Val2',
   SUM(Val3) as 'Val3',
   (SUM(Val1) + SUM(Val2) + SUM(Val3)) as 'Total'
FROM Emp

Reading JSON POST using PHP

You have empty $_POST. If your web-server wants see data in json-format you need to read the raw input and then parse it with JSON decode.

You need something like that:

$json = file_get_contents('php://input');
$obj = json_decode($json);

Also you have wrong code for testing JSON-communication...

CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS tells curl to encode your parameters as application/x-www-form-urlencoded. You need JSON-string here.

UPDATE

Your php code for test page should be like that:

$data_string = json_encode($data);

$ch = curl_init('http://webservice.local/');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data_string);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
        'Content-Type: application/json',
        'Content-Length: ' . strlen($data_string))
);

$result = curl_exec($ch);
$result = json_decode($result);
var_dump($result);

Also on your web-service page you should remove one of the lines header('Content-type: application/json');. It must be called only once.

How to make a jquery function call after "X" seconds

You can just use the normal setTimeout method in JavaScript.

ie...

setTimeout( function(){ 
    // Do something after 1 second 
  }  , 1000 );

In your example, you might want to use showStickySuccessToast directly.

What is the difference between a deep copy and a shallow copy?

The copy constructor is used to initialize the new object with the previously created object of the same class. By default compiler wrote a shallow copy. Shallow copy works fine when dynamic memory allocation is not involved because when dynamic memory allocation is involved then both objects will points towards the same memory location in a heap, Therefore to remove this problem we wrote deep copy so both objects have their own copy of attributes in a memory. In order to read the details with complete examples and explanations you could see the article C++ constructors.

convert xml to java object using jaxb (unmarshal)

Tests

On the Tests class we will add an @XmlRootElement annotation. Doing this will let your JAXB implementation know that when a document starts with this element that it should instantiate this class. JAXB is configuration by exception, this means you only need to add annotations where your mapping differs from the default. Since the testData property differs from the default mapping we will use the @XmlElement annotation. You may find the following tutorial helpful: http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/Examples/MOXy/GettingStarted

package forum11221136;

import javax.xml.bind.annotation.*;

@XmlRootElement
public class Tests {

    TestData testData;

    @XmlElement(name="test-data")
    public TestData getTestData() {
        return testData;
    }

    public void setTestData(TestData testData) {
        this.testData = testData;
    }

}

TestData

On this class I used the @XmlType annotation to specify the order in which the elements should be ordered in. I added a testData property that appeared to be missing. I also used an @XmlElement annotation for the same reason as in the Tests class.

package forum11221136;

import java.util.List;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.*;

@XmlType(propOrder={"title", "book", "count", "testData"})
public class TestData {
    String title;
    String book;
    String count;
    List<TestData> testData;

    public String getTitle() {
        return title;
    }
    public void setTitle(String title) {
        this.title = title;
    }
    public String getBook() {
        return book;
    }
    public void setBook(String book) {
        this.book = book;
    }
    public String getCount() {
        return count;
    }
    public void setCount(String count) {
        this.count = count;
    }
    @XmlElement(name="test-data")
    public List<TestData> getTestData() {
        return testData;
    }
    public void setTestData(List<TestData> testData) {
        this.testData = testData;
    }
}

Demo

Below is an example of how to use the JAXB APIs to read (unmarshal) the XML and populate your domain model and then write (marshal) the result back to XML.

package forum11221136;

import java.io.File;
import javax.xml.bind.*;

public class Demo {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        JAXBContext jc = JAXBContext.newInstance(Tests.class);

        Unmarshaller unmarshaller = jc.createUnmarshaller();
        File xml = new File("src/forum11221136/input.xml");
        Tests tests = (Tests) unmarshaller.unmarshal(xml);

        Marshaller marshaller = jc.createMarshaller();
        marshaller.setProperty(Marshaller.JAXB_FORMATTED_OUTPUT, true);
        marshaller.marshal(tests, System.out);
    }

}

PHP get domain name

Similar question has been asked in stackoverflow before.

See here: PHP $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] vs. $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'], am I understanding the man pages correctly?

Also see this article: http://shiflett.org/blog/2006/mar/server-name-versus-http-host

Recommended using HTTP_HOST, and falling back on SERVER_NAME only if HTTP_HOST was not set. He said that SERVER_NAME could be unreliable on the server for a variety of reasons, including:

no DNS support

misconfigured

behind load balancing software

How to get JavaScript variable value in PHP

PHP runs on the server. It outputs some text. Then it stops running.

The text is sent to the client (a browser). The browser then interprets the text as HTML and JavaScript.

If you want to get data from JavaScript to PHP then you need to make a new HTTP request and run a new (or the same) PHP script.

You can make an HTTP request from JavaScript by using a form or Ajax.

JavaScript - Use variable in string match

xxx.match(yyy, 'g').length

Difference between Visibility.Collapsed and Visibility.Hidden

Even though a bit old thread, for those who still looking for the differences:

Aside from layout (space) taken in Hidden and not taken in Collapsed, there is another difference.

If we have custom controls inside this 'Collapsed' main control, the next time we set it to Visible, it will "load" all custom controls. It will not pre-load when window is started.

As for 'Hidden', it will load all custom controls + main control which we set as hidden when the "window" is started.

Error message "Strict standards: Only variables should be passed by reference"

The cause of the error is the use of the internal PHP programming data structures function, array_shift() [php.net/end].

The function takes an array as a parameter. Although an ampersand is indicated in the prototype of array_shift() in the manual", there isn't any cautionary documentation following in the extended definition of that function, nor is there any apparent explanation that the parameter is in fact passed by reference.

Perhaps this is /understood/. I did not understand, however, so it was difficult for me to detect the cause of the error.

Reproduce code:

function get_arr()
{
    return array(1, 2);
}
$array = get_arr();
$el = array_shift($array);

Arrays.asList() of an array

Let's consider the following simplified example:

public class Example {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int[] factors = {1, 2, 3};
        ArrayList<Integer> f = new ArrayList(Arrays.asList(factors));
        System.out.println(f);
    }
}

At the println line this prints something like "[[I@190d11]" which means that you have actually constructed an ArrayList that contains int arrays.

Your IDE and compiler should warn about unchecked assignments in that code. You should always use new ArrayList<Integer>() or new ArrayList<>() instead of new ArrayList(). If you had used it, there would have been a compile error because of trying to pass List<int[]> to the constructor.

There is no autoboxing from int[] to Integer[], and anyways autoboxing is only syntactic sugar in the compiler, so in this case you need to do the array copy manually:

public static int getTheNumber(int[] factors) {
    List<Integer> f = new ArrayList<Integer>();
    for (int factor : factors) {
        f.add(factor); // after autoboxing the same as: f.add(Integer.valueOf(factor));
    }
    Collections.sort(f);
    return f.get(0) * f.get(f.size() - 1);
}

How can I put CSS and HTML code in the same file?

Displaying a vector of strings in C++

You ask two questions; your title says "Displaying a vector of strings", but you're not actually doing that, you actually build a single string composed of all the strings and output that.

Your question body asks "Why doesn't this work".

It doesn't work because your for loop is constrained by "userString.size()" which is 0, and you test your loop variable for being "userString.size() - 1". The condition of a for() loop is tested before permitting execution of the first iteration.

int n = 1;
for (int i = 1; i < n; ++i) {
    std::cout << i << endl;
}

will print exactly nothing.

So your loop executes exactly no iterations, leaving userString and sentence empty.

Lastly, your code has absolutely zero reason to use a vector. The fact that you used "decltype(userString.size())" instead of "size_t" or "auto", while claiming to be a rookie, suggests you're either reading a book from back to front or you are setting yourself up to fail a class.

So to answer your question at the end of your post: It doesn't work because you didn't step through it with a debugger and inspect the values as it went. While I say it tongue-in-cheek, I'm going to leave it out there.

End of File (EOF) in C

That's a lot of questions.

Why EOF is -1: usually -1 in POSIX system calls is returned on error, so i guess the idea is "EOF is kind of error"
any boolean operation (including !=) returns 1 in case it's TRUE, and 0 in case it's FALSE, so getchar() != EOF is 0 when it's FALSE, meaning getchar() returned EOF.
in order to emulate EOF when reading from stdin press Ctrl+D

(Excel) Conditional Formatting based on Adjacent Cell Value

You need to take out the $ signs before the row numbers in the formula....and the row number used in the formula should correspond to the first row of data, so if you are applying this to the ("applies to") range $B$2:$B$5 it must be this formula

=$B2>$C2

by using that "relative" version rather than your "absolute" one Excel (implicitly) adjusts the formula for each row in the range, as if you were copying the formula down

Is it possible to get a history of queries made in postgres

There's no history in the database itself, if you're using psql you can use "\s" to see your command history there.

You can get future queries or other types of operations into the log files by setting log_statement in the postgresql.conf file. What you probably want instead is log_min_duration_statement, which if you set it to 0 will log all queries and their durations in the logs. That can be helpful once your apps goes live, if you set that to a higher value you'll only see the long running queries which can be helpful for optimization (you can run EXPLAIN ANALYZE on the queries you find there to figure out why they're slow).

Another handy thing to know in this area is that if you run psql and tell it "\timing", it will show how long every statement after that takes. So if you have a sql file that looks like this:

\timing
select 1;

You can run it with the right flags and see each statement interleaved with how long it took. Here's how and what the result looks like:

$ psql -ef test.sql 
Timing is on.
select 1;
 ?column? 
----------
        1
(1 row)

Time: 1.196 ms

This is handy because you don't need to be database superuser to use it, unlike changing the config file, and it's easier to use if you're developing new code and want to test it out.

Setting Elastic search limit to "unlimited"

From the docs, "Note that from + size can not be more than the index.max_result_window index setting which defaults to 10,000". So my admittedly very ad-hoc solution is to just pass size: 10000 or 10,000 minus from if I use the from argument.

Note that following Matt's comment below, the proper way to do this if you have a larger amount of documents is to use the scroll api. I have used this successfully, but only with the python interface.

Eclipse jump to closing brace

Place the cursor next to an opening or closing brace and punch Ctrl + Shift + P to find the matching brace. If Eclipse can't find one you'll get a "No matching bracket found" message.

edit: as mentioned by Romaintaz below, you can also get Eclipse to auto-select all of the code between two curly braces simply by double-clicking to the immediate right of a opening brace.

map vs. hash_map in C++

I don't know what gives, but, hash_map takes more than 20 seconds to clear() 150K unsigned integer keys and float values. I am just running and reading someone else's code.

This is how it includes hash_map.

#include <hash_map>

I read this here https://bytes.com/topic/c/answers/570079-perfomance-clear-vs-swap

saying that clear() is order of O(N). That to me, is very strange, but, that's the way it is.

Redirecting from cshtml page

Would be safer to do this.

@{ Response.Redirect("~/Account/LogIn?returnUrl=Products");}

So the controller for that action runs as well, to populate any model the view needs.

Redirect from a view to another view

Although as @Satpal mentioned, I do recommend you do the redirecting on your controller.

jQuery Data vs Attr?

If you are passing data to a DOM element from the server, you should set the data on the element:

<a id="foo" data-foo="bar" href="#">foo!</a>

The data can then be accessed using .data() in jQuery:

console.log( $('#foo').data('foo') );
//outputs "bar"

However when you store data on a DOM node in jQuery using data, the variables are stored on the node object. This is to accommodate complex objects and references as storing the data on the node element as an attribute will only accommodate string values.

_{Continuing my example from above:}

$('#foo').data('foo', 'baz');

console.log( $('#foo').attr('data-foo') );
//outputs "bar" as the attribute was never changed

console.log( $('#foo').data('foo') );
//outputs "baz" as the value has been updated on the object

Also, the naming convention for data attributes has a bit of a hidden "gotcha":

_HTML:

<a id="bar" data-foo-bar-baz="fizz-buzz" href="#">fizz buzz!</a>

_JS:

console.log( $('#bar').data('fooBarBaz') );
//outputs "fizz-buzz" as hyphens are automatically camelCase'd

The hyphenated key will still work:

_HTML:

<a id="bar" data-foo-bar-baz="fizz-buzz" href="#">fizz buzz!</a>

_JS:

console.log( $('#bar').data('foo-bar-baz') );
//still outputs "fizz-buzz"

However the object returned by .data() will not have the hyphenated key set:

$('#bar').data().fooBarBaz; //works
$('#bar').data()['fooBarBaz']; //works
$('#bar').data()['foo-bar-baz']; //does not work

It's for this reason I suggest avoiding the hyphenated key in javascript.

For HTML, keep using the hyphenated form. HTML attributes are supposed to get ASCII-lowercased automatically, so <div data-foobar></div>, <DIV DATA-FOOBAR></DIV>, and <dIv DaTa-FoObAr></DiV> are supposed to be treated as identical, but for the best compatibility the lower case form should be preferred.

The .data() method will also perform some basic auto-casting if the value matches a recognized pattern:

_HTML:

<a id="foo"
    href="#"
    data-str="bar"
    data-bool="true"
    data-num="15"
    data-json='{"fizz":["buzz"]}'>foo!</a>

_JS:

$('#foo').data('str');  //`"bar"`
$('#foo').data('bool'); //`true`
$('#foo').data('num');  //`15`
$('#foo').data('json'); //`{fizz:['buzz']}`

This auto-casting ability is very convenient for instantiating widgets & plugins:

$('.widget').each(function () {
    $(this).widget($(this).data());
    //-or-
    $(this).widget($(this).data('widget'));
});

If you absolutely must have the original value as a string, then you'll need to use .attr():

_HTML:

<a id="foo" href="#" data-color="ABC123"></a>
<a id="bar" href="#" data-color="654321"></a>

_JS:

$('#foo').data('color').length; //6
$('#bar').data('color').length; //undefined, length isn't a property of numbers

$('#foo').attr('data-color').length; //6
$('#bar').attr('data-color').length; //6

_{This was a contrived example. For storing color values, I used to use numeric hex notation (i.e. 0xABC123), but it's worth noting that hex was parsed incorrectly in jQuery versions before 1.7.2, and is no longer parsed into a Number as of jQuery 1.8 rc 1.}

jQuery 1.8 rc 1 changed the behavior of auto-casting. Before, any format that was a valid representation of a Number would be cast to Number. Now, values that are numeric are only auto-cast if their representation stays the same. This is best illustrated with an example.

_HTML:

<a id="foo"
    href="#"
    data-int="1000"
    data-decimal="1000.00"
    data-scientific="1e3"
    data-hex="0x03e8">foo!</a>

_JS:

                              // pre 1.8    post 1.8
$('#foo').data('int');        //    1000        1000
$('#foo').data('decimal');    //    1000   "1000.00"
$('#foo').data('scientific'); //    1000       "1e3"
$('#foo').data('hex');        //    1000     "0x03e8"

If you plan on using alternative numeric syntaxes to access numeric values, be sure to cast the value to a Number first, such as with a unary + operator.

_{JS (cont.):}

+$('#foo').data('hex'); // 1000

Text size of android design TabLayout tabs

Do as following.

1. Add the Style to the XML

    <style name="MyTabLayoutTextAppearance" parent="TextAppearance.Design.Tab">
        <item name="android:textSize">14sp</item>
    </style>

2. Apply Style

Find the Layout containing the TabLayout and add the style. The added line is bold.

    <android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
        android:id="@+id/tabs"
        app:tabTextAppearance="@style/MyTabLayoutTextAppearance" 
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

How to create an empty array in Swift?

Initiating an array with a predefined count:

Array(repeating: 0, count: 10)

let myObjects: [MyObject] = Array(repeating: 0, count: 10).map { _ in return MyObject() }

How to change theme for AlertDialog

Better way to do this use custom dialog and customize according your needs here is custom dialog example.....

enter image description here

public class CustomDialogUI {
Dialog dialog;
Vibrator vib;
RelativeLayout rl;

@SuppressWarnings("static-access")
public void dialog(final Context context, String title, String message,
        final Runnable task) {
    dialog = new Dialog(context);
    dialog.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
    dialog.setContentView(R.layout.custom);
    dialog.setCancelable(false);
    TextView m = (TextView) dialog.findViewById(R.id.message);
    TextView t = (TextView) dialog.findViewById(R.id.title);
    final Button n = (Button) dialog.findViewById(R.id.button2);
    final Button p = (Button) dialog.findViewById(R.id.next_button);
    rl = (RelativeLayout) dialog.findViewById(R.id.rlmain);
    t.setText(bold(title));
    m.setText(message);
    dialog.show();
    n.setText(bold("Close"));
    p.setText(bold("Ok"));
    // color(context,rl);
    vib = (Vibrator) context.getSystemService(context.VIBRATOR_SERVICE);
    n.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View arg0) {
            vib.vibrate(15);
            dialog.dismiss();
        }
    });
    p.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View arg0) {
            vib.vibrate(20);
            dialog.dismiss();
            task.run();
        }
    });
}
 //customize text style bold italic....
public SpannableString bold(String s) {
    SpannableString spanString = new SpannableString(s);
    spanString.setSpan(new StyleSpan(Typeface.BOLD), 0,
            spanString.length(), 0);
    spanString.setSpan(new UnderlineSpan(), 0, spanString.length(), 0);
    // spanString.setSpan(new StyleSpan(Typeface.ITALIC), 0,
    // spanString.length(), 0);
    return spanString;
}

Validate select box

I don't know how was the plugin the time the question was asked (2009), but I faced the same problem today and solved it this way:

Give your select tag a name attribute. For example in this case

<select name="myselect">
Instead of working with the attribute value="default" in the tag option, disable the default option as suggested by Jeremy Visser or set value=""

<option disabled="disabled">Choose...</option>

or

<option value="">Choose...</option>
Set the plugin validation rule

$( "#YOUR_FORM_ID" ).validate({ rules: { myselect: { required: true } } });

or

<select name="myselect" class="required">

Obs: redsquare's solution works only if you have just one select in your form. If you want his solution to work with more than one select add a name attribute to your select.

Hope it helps! :)

Hibernate Annotations - Which is better, field or property access?

I prefer using field access for the following reasons:

The property access can lead to very nasty bugs when implementing equals/hashCode and referencing fields directly (as opposed through their getters). This is because the proxy is only initialized when the getters are accessed, and a direct-field access would simply return null.
The property access requires you to annotate all utility methods (e.g. addChild/removeChild) as @Transient.
With field access we can hide the @Version field by not exposing a getter at all. A getter can also lead to adding a setter as well, and the version field should never be set manually (which can lead to very nasty issues). All version incrementation should be triggered through OPTIMISTIC_FORCE_INCREMENT or PESSIMISTIC_FORCE_INCREMENT explicit locking.

XML to CSV Using XSLT

Found an XML transform stylesheet here (wayback machine link, site itself is in german)

The stylesheet added here could be helpful:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="text" encoding="iso-8859-1"/>

<xsl:strip-space elements="*" />

<xsl:template match="/*/child::*">
<xsl:for-each select="child::*">
<xsl:if test="position() != last()">"<xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(.)"/>",    </xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="position()  = last()">"<xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(.)"/>"<xsl:text>&#xD;</xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Perhaps you want to remove the quotes inside the xsl:if tags so it doesn't put your values into quotes, depending on where you want to use the CSV file.

how to check the dtype of a column in python pandas

You can access the data-type of a column with dtype:

for y in agg.columns:
    if(agg[y].dtype == np.float64 or agg[y].dtype == np.int64):
          treat_numeric(agg[y])
    else:
          treat_str(agg[y])

How to resize datagridview control when form resizes

In your form constructor you could create an event handler like this:

this.SizeChanged(frm_sizeChanged);

Then create an event handler that resizes the grid appropriately, example:

private void frm_sizeChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
     dataGrid.Size = new Size(100, 200);
}

Replacing those numbers with whatever you'd like.

Use placeholders in yaml

With Yglu Structural Templating, your example can be written:

foo: !()
  !? $.propname: 
     type: number 
     default: !? $.default

bar:
  !apply .foo: 
    propname: "some_prop"
    default: "some default"

How do I put an image into my picturebox using ImageLocation?

Setting the image using picture.ImageLocation() works fine, but you are using a relative path. Check your path against the location of the .exe after it is built.

For example, if your .exe is located at:

<project folder>/bin/Debug/app.exe

The image would have to be at:

<project folder>/bin/Image/1.jpg

Of course, you could just set the image at design-time (the Image property on the PictureBox property sheet).

If you must set it at run-time, one way to make sure you know the location of the image is to add the image file to your project. For example, add a new folder to your project, name it Image. Right-click the folder, choose "Add existing item" and browse to your image (be sure the file filter is set to show image files). After adding the image, in the property sheet set the Copy to Output Directory to Copy if newer.

At this point the image file will be copied when you build the application and you can use

picture.ImageLocation = @"Image\1.jpg";

Is there an easy way to reload css without reloading the page?

A shorter version in Vanilla JS and in one line:

for (var link of document.querySelectorAll("link[rel=stylesheet]")) link.href = link.href.replace(/\?.*|$/, "?" + Date.now())

Or expanded:

for (var link of document.querySelectorAll("link[rel=stylesheet]")) {
  link.href = link.href.replace(/\?.*|$/, "?" + Date.now())
}

How to save username and password with Mercurial?

NOBODY above explained/clarified terms to a novice user. They get confused by the terms

.hg/hgrc -- this file is used for Repository, at local/workspace location / in actual repository's .hg folder.

~/.hgrc -- this file is different than the below one. this file resides at ~ or home directory.

myremote.xxxx=..... bb.xxxx=......

This is one of the lines under [auth] section/directive, while using mercurial keyring extension. Make sure the server name you put there, matches with what you use while doing "hg clone" otherwise keyring will say, user not found. bb or myremote in the line below, are "alias name" that you MUST give while doing "hg clone http:/.../../repo1 bb or myremote" otherwise, it wont work or you have to make sure your local repository's .hg/hgrc file contain same alias, ie (what you gave while doing hg clone .. as last parameter).

PS the following links for clear details, sorry for quickly written grammar.

ex: If inside ~/.hgrc (user's home directory in Linux/Unix) or mercurial.ini in Windows at user's home directory, contains, the following line and if you do

`"hg clone http://.../.../reponame myremote"`

, then you'll never be prompted for user credentials more than once per http repo link. In ~/.hgrc under [extensions] a line for "mercurial_keyring = " or "hgext.mercurial_keyring = /path/to/your/mercurial_keyring.py" .. one of these lines should be there.

[auth]
myremote.schemes = http https
myremote.prefix = thsusncdnvm99/hg
myremote.username = c123456

I'm trying to find out how to set the PREFIX property so that user can clone or perform any Hg operations without username/password prompts and without worrying about what he mentioned in the http://..../... for servername while using the Hg repo link. It can be IP, servername or server's FQDN

How do I check if a string is valid JSON in Python?

I would say parsing it is the only way you can really entirely tell. Exception will be raised by python's json.loads() function (almost certainly) if not the correct format. However, the the purposes of your example you can probably just check the first couple of non-whitespace characters...

I'm not familiar with the JSON that facebook sends back, but most JSON strings from web apps will start with a open square [ or curly { bracket. No images formats I know of start with those characters.

Conversely if you know what image formats might show up, you can check the start of the string for their signatures to identify images, and assume you have JSON if it's not an image.

Another simple hack to identify a graphic, rather than a text string, in the case you're looking for a graphic, is just to test for non-ASCII characters in the first couple of dozen characters of the string (assuming the JSON is ASCII).

What is private bytes, virtual bytes, working set?

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

Long story short:

if I call

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

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

if I call

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

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

Creating an array of objects in Java

This is correct. You can also do :

A[] a = new A[] { new A("args"), new A("other args"), .. };

This syntax can also be used to create and initialize an array anywhere, such as in a method argument:

someMethod( new A[] { new A("args"), new A("other args"), . . } )

How do I "commit" changes in a git submodule?

Note that if you have committed a bunch of changes in various submodules, you can (or will be soon able to) push everything in one go (ie one push from the parent repo), with:

git push --recurse-submodules=on-demand

git1.7.11 ([ANNOUNCE] Git 1.7.11.rc1) mentions:

"git push --recurse-submodules" learned to optionally look into the histories of submodules bound to the superproject and push them out.

Probably done after this patch and the --on-demand option:

--recurse-submodules=<check|on-demand|no>::

Make sure all submodule commits used by the revisions to be pushed are available on a remote tracking branch.

If check is used, it will be checked that all submodule commits that changed in the revisions to be pushed are available on a remote.
Otherwise the push will be aborted and exit with non-zero status.

If on-demand is used, all submodules that changed in the revisions to be pushed will be pushed.
If on-demand was not able to push all necessary revisions it will also be aborted and exit with non-zero status.

This option only works for one level of nesting. Changes to the submodule inside of another submodule will not be pushed.

Using env variable in Spring Boot's application.properties

Here is a snippet code through a chain of environments properties files are being loaded for different environments.

Properties file under your application resources ( src/main/resources ):-

 1. application.properties
 2. application-dev.properties
 3. application-uat.properties
 4. application-prod.properties

Ideally, application.properties contains all common properties which are accessible for all environments and environment related properties only works on specifies environment. therefore the order of loading these properties files will be in such way -

 application.properties -> application.{spring.profiles.active}.properties.

Code snippet here :-

    import org.springframework.context.support.PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer;
    import org.springframework.core.io.ClassPathResource;
    import org.springframework.core.io.Resource;

    public class PropertiesUtils {

        public static final String SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE = "spring.profiles.active";

        public static void initProperties() {
            String activeProfile = System.getProperty(SPRING_PROFILES_ACTIVE);
            if (activeProfile == null) {
                activeProfile = "dev";
            }
            PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer propertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer
                    = new PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer();
            Resource[] resources = new ClassPathResource[]
                    {new ClassPathResource("application.properties"),
                            new ClassPathResource("application-" + activeProfile + ".properties")};
            propertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer.setLocations(resources);

        }
    }

How to do while loops with multiple conditions

while not condition1 or not condition2 or val == -1:

But there was nothing wrong with your original of using an if inside of a while True.

Get name of currently executing test in JUnit 4

You can achieve this using Slf4j and TestWatcher

private static Logger _log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(SampleTest.class.getName());

@Rule

    public void starting(final Description method) {
        _log.info("being run..." + method.getMethodName());
    }
};

How to check if a string contains an element from a list in Python

It is better to parse the URL properly - this way you can handle http://.../file.doc?foo and http://.../foo.doc/file.exe correctly.

from urlparse import urlparse
import os
path = urlparse(url_string).path
ext = os.path.splitext(path)[1]
if ext in extensionsToCheck:
  print(url_string)

Ant is using wrong java version

JAVACMD is an Ant specific environment variable. Ant doc says:

JAVACMD—full path of the Java executable. Use this to invoke a different JVM than JAVA_HOME/bin/java(.exe).

So, if your java.exe full path is: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_211\bin\java.exe, create a new environment variable called JAVACMD and set its value to the mentioned path (including \java.exe). Note that you need to close and reopen your terminal (cmd, Powershell, etc) so the new environment variable takes effect.

What does 'corrupted double-linked list' mean

For anyone who is looking for solutions here, I had a similar issue with C++: malloc(): smallbin double linked list corrupted:

This was due to a function not returning a value it was supposed to.

std::vector<Object> generateStuff(std::vector<Object>& target> {
  std::vector<Object> returnValue;
  editStuff(target);
  // RETURN MISSING
}

Don't know why this was able to compile after all. Probably there was a warning about it.

What generates the "text file busy" message in Unix?

It's a while since I've seen that message, but it used to be prevalent in System V R3 or thereabouts a good couple of decades ago. Back then, it meant that you could not change a program executable while it was running.

For example, I was building a make workalike called rmk, and after a while it was self-maintaining. I would run the development version and have it build a new version. To get it to work, it was necessary to use the workaround:

gcc -g -Wall -o rmk1 main.o -L. -lrmk -L/Users/jleffler/lib/64 -ljl
if [ -f rmk ] ; then mv rmk rmk2 ; else true; fi ; mv rmk1 rmk

So, to avoid problems with the 'text file busy', the build created a new file rmk1, then moved the old rmk to rmk2 (rename wasn't a problem; unlink was), and then moved the newly built rmk1 to rmk.

I haven't seen the error on a modern system in quite a while...but I don't all that often have programs rebuilding themselves.

How to create password input field in django

How do I set the selected item in a comboBox to match my string using C#?

Have you tried the Text property? It works for me.

ComboBox1.Text = "test1";

The SelectedText property is for the selected portion of the editable text in the textbox part of the combo box.

How do I extract Month and Year in a MySQL date and compare them?

There should also be a YEAR().

As for comparing, you could compare dates that are the first days of those years and months, or you could convert the year/month pair into a number suitable for comparison (i.e. bigger = later). (Exercise left to the reader. For hints, read about the ISO date format.)

Or you could use multiple comparisons (i.e. years first, then months).

Get full path of the files in PowerShell

I used this line command to search ".xlm" files in "C:\Temp" and the result print fullname path in file "result.txt":

(Get-ChildItem "C:\Temp" -Recurse | where {$_.extension -eq ".xml"} ).fullname > result.txt

In my tests, this syntax works beautiful for me.

MySQL Workbench Edit Table Data is read only

Guided by Manitoba's post, I found another solution. As a summary, the solutions are:

With a USE command
```
USE mydb;
SELECT * FROM mytable
```
With an explicit schema prefix:
```
SELECT * FROM mydb.mytable
```
GUI

On Object Browser "SCHEMAS" pane, all database icons are initially not highlighted if you have the same issue. So you can right click on the database icon you wanted to be the default, select "Set as default schema".

Visual Studio opens the default browser instead of Internet Explorer

Quick note if you don't have an .aspx in your project (i.e. its XBAP) but you still need to debug using IE, just add a htm page to your project and right click on that to set the default. It's hacky, but it works :P

How to parse JSON in Java

Almost all the answers given requires a full deserialization of the JSON into a Java object before accessing the value in the property of interest. Another alternative, which does not go this route is to use JsonPATH which is like XPath for JSON and allows traversing of JSON objects.

It is a specification and the good folks at JayWay have created a Java implementation for the specification which you can find here: https://github.com/jayway/JsonPath

So basically to use it, add it to your project, eg:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.jayway.jsonpath</groupId>
    <artifactId>json-path</artifactId>
    <version>${version}</version>
</dependency>

and to use:

String pageName = JsonPath.read(yourJsonString, "$.pageInfo.pageName");
String pagePic = JsonPath.read(yourJsonString, "$.pageInfo.pagePic");
String post_id = JsonPath.read(yourJsonString, "$.pagePosts[0].post_id");

etc...

Check the JsonPath specification page for more information on the other ways to transverse JSON.

Tool for sending multipart/form-data request

The usual error is one tries to put Content-Type: {multipart/form-data} into the header of the post request. That will fail, it is best to let Postman do it for you. For example:

Reloading a ViewController

For UIViewController just load your view again -

func rightButtonAction() {
        if isEditProfile {
           print("Submit Clicked, Call Update profile API")
            isEditProfile = false
            self.viewWillAppear(true)
        } else {
            print("Edit Clicked, Call Edit profile API")
            isEditProfile = true
            self.viewWillAppear(true)
        }
    }

I am loading my view controller on profile edit and view profile. According to the Bool value isEditProfile updating the view in viewWillAppear method.

Add new item in existing array in c#.net

 Array.Resize(ref youur_array_name, your_array_name.Length + 1);
 your_array_name[your_array_name.Length - 1] = "new item";

The breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document in a Silverlight application

I had the same issue and after googling I found two typical solutions for this:

Make sure the Silverlight debugger is activated in the .Web project. Open up the project properties and select the Silverlight debugger under the "Web" tab.
Restart Visual Studio and delete all bin and obj folders.

But none of these worked for me. Then someone mentioned far down a thread to try using IE as the browser instead. This made debugging and breakpoints work again!

Edit:

Later I have struggled with IE9 not working, because it attaches to the wrong process. Instead of manually attaching to the correct IE process every time, I found a neat trick:

Right-click one of the generated pages in the .Web project (.html or .aspx)
Click "Browse with..."
Set IE as default browser (will only affect Visual Studio's choice of browser)

Now, Visual Studio will launch IE when running the .Web project and attach to the correct process. That should do it.

string decode utf-8

the core functions are getBytes(String charset) and new String(byte[] data). you can use these functions to do UTF-8 decoding.

UTF-8 decoding actually is a string to string conversion, the intermediate buffer is a byte array. since the target is an UTF-8 string, so the only parameter for new String() is the byte array, which calling is equal to new String(bytes, "UTF-8")

Then the key is the parameter for input encoded string to get internal byte array, which you should know beforehand. If you don't, guess the most possible one, "ISO-8859-1" is a good guess for English user.

The decoding sentence should be

String decoded = new String(encoded.getBytes("ISO-8859-1"));

SharePoint : How can I programmatically add items to a custom list instance

This is how it was on the Microsoft site, with me just tweaking the SPSite and SPWeb since these might vary from environment to environment and it helps not to have to hard-code these:

using (SPSite oSiteCollection = new SPSite(SPContext.Current.Site.Url))
{
    using (SPWeb oWeb = oSiteCollection.OpenWeb(SPContext.Current.Web))
    {
        SPList oList = oWeb.Lists["Announcements"];
        // You may also use 
        // SPList oList = oWeb.GetList("/Lists/Announcements");
        // to avoid querying all of the sites' lists
        SPListItem oListItem = oList.Items.Add();
        oListItem["Title"] = "My Item";
        oListItem["Created"] = new DateTime(2004, 1, 23);
        oListItem["Modified"] = new DateTime(2005, 10, 1);
        oListItem["Author"] = 3;
        oListItem["Editor"] = 3;
        oListItem.Update();
    }
}

Remove leading comma from a string

To turn a string into an array I usually use split()

> var s = ",'first string','more','even more'"
> s.split("','")
[",'first string", "more", "even more'"]

This is almost what you want. Now you just have to strip the first two and the last character:

> s.slice(2, s.length-1)
"first string','more','even more"

> s.slice(2, s.length-2).split("','");
["first string", "more", "even more"]

To extract a substring from a string I usually use slice() but substr() and substring() also do the job.

Preventing iframe caching in browser

I found this problem in the latest Chrome as well as the latest Safari on the Mac OS X as of Mar 17, 2016. None of the fixes above worked for me, including assigning src to empty and then back to some site, or adding in some randomly-named "name" parameter, or adding in a random number on the end of the URL after the hash, or assigning the content window href to the src after assigning the src.

In my case, it was because I was using Javascript to update the IFRAME, and only switching the hash in the URL.

The workaround in my case was that I created an interim URL that had a 0 second meta redirect to that other page. It happens so fast that I hardly notice the screen flash. Plus, I made the background color of the interim page the same as the other page, and so you notice it even less.

Node.js: printing to console without a trailing newline?

Also, if you want to overwrite messages in the same line, for instance in a countdown, you could add '\r' at the end of the string.

process.stdout.write("Downloading " + data.length + " bytes\r");

Using a Python subprocess call to invoke a Python script

First, check if somescript.py is executable and starts with something along the lines of #!/usr/bin/python. If this is done, then you can use subprocess.call('./somescript.py').

Or as another answer points out, you could do subprocess.call(['python', 'somescript.py']).

php.ini: which one?

Generally speaking, the cli/php.ini file is used when the PHP binary is called from the command-line.
You can check that running php --ini from the command-line.

fpm/php.ini will be used when PHP is run as FPM -- which is the case with an nginx installation.
And you can check that calling phpinfo() from a php page served by your webserver.

cgi/php.ini, in your situation, will most likely not be used.

Using two distinct php.ini files (one for CLI, and the other one to serve pages from your webserver) is done quite often, and has one main advantages : it allows you to have different configuration values in each case.

Typically, in the php.ini file that's used by the web-server, you'll specify a rather short max_execution_time : web pages should be served fast, and if a page needs more than a few dozen seconds (30 seconds, by default), it's probably because of a bug -- and the page's generation should be stopped.
On the other hand, you can have pretty long scripts launched from your crontab (or by hand), which means the php.ini file that will be used is the one in cli/. For those scripts, you'll specify a much longer max_execution_time in cli/php.ini than you did in fpm/php.ini.

max_execution_time is a common example ; you could do the same with several other configuration directives, of course.

How can we programmatically detect which iOS version is device running on?

Reading and displaying data from a .txt file

In Java 8, you can read a whole file, simply with:

public String read(String file) throws IOException {
  return new String(Files.readAllBytes(Paths.get(file)));
}

or if its a Resource:

public String read(String file) throws IOException {
  URL url = Resources.getResource(file);
  return Resources.toString(url, Charsets.UTF_8);
}

converting a base 64 string to an image and saving it

In a similar scenario what worked for me was the following:

byte[] bytes = Convert.FromBase64String(Base64String);    
ImageTagId.ImageUrl = "data:image/jpeg;base64," + Convert.ToBase64String(bytes);

ImageTagId is the ID of the ASP image tag.

Is SQL syntax case sensitive?

In Sql Server it is an option. Turning it on sucks.

How to convert a structure to a byte array in C#?

@Abdel Olakara answer donese not work in .net 3.5, should be modified as below:

    public static void ByteArrayToStructure<T>(byte[] bytearray, ref T obj)
    {
        int len = Marshal.SizeOf(obj);
        IntPtr i = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(len);
        Marshal.Copy(bytearray, 0, i, len);
        obj = (T)Marshal.PtrToStructure(i, typeof(T));
        Marshal.FreeHGlobal(i);
    }

Python unicode equal comparison failed

You may use the == operator to compare unicode objects for equality.

>>> s1 = u'Hello'
>>> s2 = unicode("Hello")
>>> type(s1), type(s2)
(<type 'unicode'>, <type 'unicode'>)
>>> s1==s2
True
>>> 
>>> s3='Hello'.decode('utf-8')
>>> type(s3)
<type 'unicode'>
>>> s1==s3
True
>>>

But, your error message indicates that you aren't comparing unicode objects. You are probably comparing a unicode object to a str object, like so:

>>> u'Hello' == 'Hello'
True
>>> u'Hello' == '\x81\x01'
__main__:1: UnicodeWarning: Unicode equal comparison failed to convert both arguments to Unicode - interpreting them as being unequal
False

See how I have attempted to compare a unicode object against a string which does not represent a valid UTF8 encoding.

Your program, I suppose, is comparing unicode objects with str objects, and the contents of a str object is not a valid UTF8 encoding. This seems likely the result of you (the programmer) not knowing which variable holds unicide, which variable holds UTF8 and which variable holds the bytes read in from a file.

I recommend http://nedbatchelder.com/text/unipain.html, especially the advice to create a "Unicode Sandwich."

How to create a Custom Dialog box in android?

Simplest way to change the background color and text style is to make custom theme for android alert dialog as below :-

: Just put below code to styles.xml :

    <style name="AlertDialogCustom" parent="@android:style/Theme.Dialog">
    <item name="android:textColor">#999999</item>
    <item name="android:windowIsFloating">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowContentOverlay">@null</item>
    <item name="android:windowTitleStyle">@null</item>
    <item name="android:typeface">monospace</item>
    <item name="android:backgroundDimEnabled">false</item>
    <item name="android:textSize">@dimen/abc_text_size_medium_material</item>
    <item name="android:background">#80ff00ff</item>
</style>

: Now customization thing is done , now just apply to your alertBuilder object :

    AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivity.this,R.style.AlertDialogCustom);

Hope , this will help you !

How to resolve Nodejs: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory

Comparing two integer arrays in Java

For the sake of completeness, you should have a method which can check all arrays:

    public static <E> boolean compareArrays(E[] array1, E[] array2) {
      boolean b = true;
      for (int i = 0; i < array2.length; i++) {
        if (array2[i].equals(array1[i]) ) {// For String Compare
           System.out.println("true");
        } else {
           b = false;
           System.out.println("False");
        }
      } 
      return b;
    }

How to match a line not containing a word

This should work:

/^((?!PART).)*$/

If you only wanted to exclude it from the beginning of the line (I know you don't, but just FYI), you could use this:

/^(?!PART)/

Edit (by request): Why this pattern works

The (?!...) syntax is a negative lookahead, which I've always found tough to explain. Basically, it means "whatever follows this point must not match the regular expression /PART/." The site I've linked explains this far better than I can, but I'll try to break this down:

^         #Start matching from the beginning of the string.    
(?!PART)  #This position must not be followed by the string "PART".
.         #Matches any character except line breaks (it will include those in single-line mode).
$         #Match all the way until the end of the string.

The ((?!xxx).)* idiom is probably hardest to understand. As we saw, (?!PART) looks at the string ahead and says that whatever comes next can't match the subpattern /PART/. So what we're doing with ((?!xxx).)* is going through the string letter by letter and applying the rule to all of them. Each character can be anything, but if you take that character and the next few characters after it, you'd better not get the word PART.

The ^ and $ anchors are there to demand that the rule be applied to the entire string, from beginning to end. Without those anchors, any piece of the string that didn't begin with PART would be a match. Even PART itself would have matches in it, because (for example) the letter A isn't followed by the exact string PART.

Since we do have ^ and $, if PART were anywhere in the string, one of the characters would match (?=PART). and the overall match would fail. Hope that's clear enough to be helpful.

Using CSS :before and :after pseudo-elements with inline CSS?

as mentioned above: its not possible to call a css pseudo-class / -element inline. what i now did, is: give your element a unique identifier, f.ex. an id or a unique class. and write a fitting <style> element

<style>#id29:before { content: "*";}</style>
<article id="id29">
  <!-- something -->

git push rejected: error: failed to push some refs

git push -f if you have permission, but that will screw up anyone else who pulls from that repo, so be careful.

If that is denied, and you have access to the server, as canzar says below, you can allow this on the server with

git config receive.denyNonFastForwards false

GUI Tool for PostgreSQL

There is a comprehensive list of tools on the PostgreSQL Wiki:

https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/PostgreSQL_Clients

And of course PostgreSQL itself comes with pgAdmin, a GUI tool for accessing Postgres databases.

C# guid and SQL uniqueidentifier

SQL is expecting the GUID as a string. The following in C# returns a string Sql is expecting.

"'" + Guid.NewGuid().ToString() + "'"

Something like

INSERT INTO TABLE (GuidID) VALUE ('4b5e95a7-745a-462f-ae53-709a8583700a')

is what it should look like in SQL.

jQuery CSS Opacity

Try this:

jQuery('#main').css('opacity', '0.6');

jQuery('#main').css({'filter':'alpha(opacity=60)', 'zoom':'1', 'opacity':'0.6'});

if you want to support IE7, IE8 and so on.

HTML Agility pack - parsing tables

How about something like: Using HTML Agility Pack

HtmlDocument doc = new HtmlDocument();
doc.LoadHtml(@"<html><body><p><table id=""foo""><tr><th>hello</th></tr><tr><td>world</td></tr></table></body></html>");
foreach (HtmlNode table in doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//table")) {
    Console.WriteLine("Found: " + table.Id);
    foreach (HtmlNode row in table.SelectNodes("tr")) {
        Console.WriteLine("row");
        foreach (HtmlNode cell in row.SelectNodes("th|td")) {
            Console.WriteLine("cell: " + cell.InnerText);
        }
    }
}

Note that you can make it prettier with LINQ-to-Objects if you want:

var query = from table in doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//table").Cast<HtmlNode>()
            from row in table.SelectNodes("tr").Cast<HtmlNode>()
            from cell in row.SelectNodes("th|td").Cast<HtmlNode>()
            select new {Table = table.Id, CellText = cell.InnerText};

foreach(var cell in query) {
    Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", cell.Table, cell.CellText);
}

what is the differences between sql server authentication and windows authentication..?

SQL Authentication

SQL Authentication is the typical authentication used for various database systems, composed of a username and a password. Obviously, an instance of SQL Server can have multiple such user accounts (using SQL authentication) with different usernames and passwords. In shared servers where different users should have access to different databases, SQL authentication should be used. Also, when a client (remote computer) connects to an instance of SQL Server on other computer than the one on which the client is running, SQL Server authentication is needed. Even if you don't define any SQL Server user accounts, at the time of installation a root account - sa - is added with the password you provided. Just like any SQL Server account, this can be used to log-in localy or remotely, however if an application is the one that does the log in, and it should have access to only one database, it's strongly recommended that you don't use the sa account, but create a new one with limited access. Overall, SQL authentication is the main authentication method to be used while the one we review below - Windows Authentication - is more of a convenience.

Windows Authentication

When you are accessing SQL Server from the same computer it is installed on, you shouldn't be prompted to type in an username and password. And you are not, if you're using Windows Authentication. With Windows Authentication, the SQL Server service already knows that someone is logged in into the operating system with the correct credentials, and it uses these credentials to allow the user into its databases. Of course, this works as long as the client resides on the same computer as the SQL Server, or as long as the connecting client matches the Windows credentials of the server. Windows Authentication is often used as a more convenient way to log-in into a SQL Server instance without typing a username and a password, however when more users are envolved, or remote connections are being established with the SQL Server, SQL authentication should be used.

How to output something in PowerShell

I think the following is a good exhibit of Echo vs. Write-Host. Notice how test() actually returns an array of ints, not a single int as one could easily be led to believe.

function test {
    Write-Host 123
    echo 456 # AKA 'Write-Output'
    return 789
}

$x = test

Write-Host "x of type '$($x.GetType().name)' = $x"

Write-Host "`$x[0] = $($x[0])"
Write-Host "`$x[1] = $($x[1])"

Terminal output of the above:

123
x of type 'Object[]' = 456 789
$x[0] = 456
$x[1] = 789

How to start an application without waiting in a batch file?

If start can't find what it's looking for, it does what you describe.

Since what you're doing should work, it's very likely you're leaving out some quotes (or putting extras in).

How do I compare two strings in Perl?

And if you'd like to extract the differences between the two strings, you can use String::Diff.

How to enable assembly bind failure logging (Fusion) in .NET

If you have the Windows SDK installed on your machine, you'll find the "Fusion Log Viewer" under Microsoft SDK\Tools (just type "Fusion" in the start menu on Vista or Windows 7/8). Launch it, click the Settings button, and select "Log bind failure" or "Log all binds".

If these buttons are disabled, go back to the start menu, right-click the Log Viewer, and select "Run as Administrator".

powershell is missing the terminator: "

This can also occur when the path ends in a '' followed by the closing quotation mark. e.g. The following line is passed as one of the arguments and this is not right:

"c:\users\abc\"

instead pass that argument as shown below so that the last backslash is escaped instead of escaping the quotation mark.

"c:\users\abc\\"

Mongoose limit/offset and count query

Instead of using 2 separate queries, you can use aggregate() in a single query:

Aggregate "$facet" can be fetch more quickly, the Total Count and the Data with skip & limit

    db.collection.aggregate([

      //{$sort: {...}}

      //{$match:{...}}

      {$facet:{

        "stage1" : [ {"$group": {_id:null, count:{$sum:1}}} ],

        "stage2" : [ { "$skip": 0}, {"$limit": 2} ]
  
      }},
     
     {$unwind: "$stage1"},
  
      //output projection
     {$project:{
        count: "$stage1.count",
        data: "$stage2"
     }}

 ]);

output as follows:-

[{
     count: 50,
     data: [
        {...},
        {...}
      ]
 }]

Also, have a look at https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/operator/aggregation/facet/

What is the difference between the kernel space and the user space?

The kernel space means a memory space can only be touched by kernel. On 32bit linux it is 1G(from 0xC0000000 to 0xffffffff as virtual memory address).Every process created by kernel is also a kernel thread, So for one process, there are two stacks: one stack in user space for this process and another in kernel space for kernel thread.

the kernel stack occupied 2 pages(8k in 32bit linux), include a task_struct(about 1k) and the real stack(about 7k). The latter is used to store some auto variables or function call params or function address in kernel functions. Here is the code(Processor.h (linux\include\asm-i386)):

#define THREAD_SIZE (2*PAGE_SIZE)
#define alloc_task_struct() ((struct task_struct *) __get_free_pages(GFP_KERNEL,1))
#define free_task_struct(p) free_pages((unsigned long) (p), 1)

__get_free_pages(GFP_KERNEL,1)) means alloc memory as 2^1=2 pages.

But the process stack is another thing, its address is just bellow 0xC0000000(32bit linux), the size of it can be quite bigger, used for the user space function calls.

So here is a question come for system call, it is running in kernel space but was called by process in user space, how does it work? Will linux put its params and function address in kernel stack or process stack? Linux's solution: all system call are triggered by software interruption INT 0x80. Defined in entry.S (linux\arch\i386\kernel), here is some lines for example:

ENTRY(sys_call_table)
.long SYMBOL_NAME(sys_ni_syscall)   /* 0  -  old "setup()" system call*/
.long SYMBOL_NAME(sys_exit)
.long SYMBOL_NAME(sys_fork)
.long SYMBOL_NAME(sys_read)
.long SYMBOL_NAME(sys_write)
.long SYMBOL_NAME(sys_open)     /* 5 */
.long SYMBOL_NAME(sys_close)

How to find minimum value from vector?

You have an error in your code. This line:

for(int i=0;i<v[n];i++)

should be

for(int i=0;i<n;i++)

because you want to search n places in your vector, not v[n] places (which wouldn't mean anything)

What is the difference between GitHub and gist?

You can access Gist by visiting the following url gist.github.com. Alternatively you can access it from within your Github account (after logging in) as shown in the picture below:

Github: A hosting service that houses a web-based git repository. It includes all the fucntionality of git with additional features added in.

Gist: Is an additional feature added to github to allow the sharing of code snippets, notes, to do lists and more. You can save your Gists as secret or public. Secret Gists are hidden from search engines but visible to anyone you share the url with.

For example. If you wanted to write a private to-do list. You could write one using Github Markdown as follows:

NB: It is important to preserve the whitespace as shown above between the dash and brackets. It is also important that you save the file with the extension .md because we want the markdown to format properly. Remember to save this Gist as secret if you do not want others to see it.

The end result looks like the image below. The checkboxes are clickable because we saved this Gist with the extension .md

Adding link a href to an element using css

You don't need CSS for this.

     <img src="abc"/>

now with link:

     <a href="#myLink"><img src="abc"/></a>

Or with jquery, later on, you can use the wrap property, see these questions answer:

How to run crontab job every week on Sunday

To have a cron executed on Sunday you can use either of these:

5 8 * * 0
5 8 * * 7
5 8 * * Sun

Where 5 8 stands for the time of the day when this will happen: 8:05.

In general, if you want to execute something on Sunday, just make sure the 5th column contains either of 0, 7 or Sun. You had 6, so it was running on Saturday.

The format for cronjobs is:

 +---------------- minute (0 - 59)
 |  +------------- hour (0 - 23)
 |  |  +---------- day of month (1 - 31)
 |  |  |  +------- month (1 - 12)
 |  |  |  |  +---- day of week (0 - 6) (Sunday=0 or 7)
 |  |  |  |  |
 *  *  *  *  *  command to be executed

You can always use crontab.guru as a editor to check your cron expressions.

Intent.putExtra List

Assuming that your List is a list of strings make data an ArrayList<String> and use intent.putStringArrayListExtra("data", data)

Here is a skeleton of the code you need:

Declare List
```
private List<String> test;
```
Init List at appropriate place
```
test = new ArrayList<String>();
```
and add data as appropriate to test.

Pass to intent as follows:

Intent intent = getIntent();  
intent.putStringArrayListExtra("test", (ArrayList<String>) test);

Retrieve data as follows:

ArrayList<String> test = getIntent().getStringArrayListExtra("test");

Hope that helps.

Gradle sync failed: failed to find Build Tools revision 24.0.0 rc1

I ran into this problem after a fresh install of Android Studio (in GNU/Linux). I also used the installation wizard for Android SDK, and the Build Tools 28.0.3 were installed, although Android Studio tried to use 28.0.2 instead.

But the problem was not the build tools version but the license. I had not accepted the Android SDK license (the wizard does not ask for it), and Android Studio refused to use the build tools; the error message just is wrong.

In order to solve the problem, I manually accepted the license. In a terminal, I launched $ANDROID_SDK/tools/bin/sdkmanager --licenses and answered "Yes" for the SDK license. The other ones can be refused.

Making RGB color in Xcode

The values are determined by the bit of the image. 8 bit 0 to 255

16 bit...some ridiculous number..0 to 65,000 approx.

32 bit are 0 to 1

I use .004 with 32 bit images...this gives 1.02 as a result when multiplied by 255

Git Bash: Could not open a connection to your authentication agent

On Windows, you can use Run with one of the below commands.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\cmd\start-ssh-agent.cmd"

For-64 Bit:

"C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\start-ssh-agent.cmd"

Add button to a layout programmatically

If you just have included a layout file at the beginning of onCreate() inside setContentView and want to get this layout to add new elements programmatically try this:

ViewGroup linearLayout = (ViewGroup) findViewById(R.id.linearLayoutID);

then you can create a new Button for example and just add it:

Button bt = new Button(this);
bt.setText("A Button");
bt.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, 
                                    LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
linerLayout.addView(bt);

Update value of a nested dictionary of varying depth

If you want a one-liner:

{**dictionary1, **{'level1':{**dictionary1['level1'], **{'level2':{**dictionary1['level1']['level2'], **{'levelB':10}}}}}}

Add st, nd, rd and th (ordinal) suffix to a number

An alternative version of the ordinal function could be as follows:

function toCardinal(num) {
    var ones = num % 10;
    var tens = num % 100;

    if (tens < 11 || tens > 13) {
        switch (ones) {
            case 1:
                return num + "st";
            case 2:
                return num + "nd";
            case 3:
                return num + "rd";
        }
    }

    return num + "th";
}

The variables are named more explicitly, uses camel case convention, and might be faster.

Why do we use Base64?

It is more that the media validates the string encoding, so we want to ensure that the data is acceptable by a handling application (and doesn't contain a binary sequence representing EOL for example)

Imagine you want to send binary data in an email with encoding UTF-8 -- The email may not display correctly if the stream of ones and zeros creates a sequence which isn't valid Unicode in UTF-8 encoding.

The same type of thing happens in URLs when we want to encode characters not valid for a URL in the URL itself:

http://www.foo.com/hello my friend -> http://www.foo.com/hello%20my%20friend

This is because we want to send a space over a system that will think the space is smelly.

All we are doing is ensuring there is a 1-to-1 mapping between a known good, acceptable and non-detrimental sequence of bits to another literal sequence of bits, and that the handling application doesn't distinguish the encoding.

In your example, man may be valid ASCII in first form; but often you may want to transmit values that are random binary (ie sending an image in an email):

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Description: "Base64 encode of a.gif"
Content-Type: image/gif; name="a.gif"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: Base64
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="a.gif"

Here we see that a GIF image is encoded in base64 as a chunk of an email. The email client reads the headers and decodes it. Because of the encoding, we can be sure the GIF doesn't contain anything that may be interpreted as protocol and we avoid inserting data that SMTP or POP may find significant.

Why can't I initialize non-const static member or static array in class?

static variables are specific to a class . Constructors initialize attributes ESPECIALY for an instance.

Check folder size in Bash

If it helps, You can also create an alias in your .bashrc or .bash_profile.

function dsize()
{
    dir=$(pwd)
    if [ "$1" != "" ]; then
            dir=$1
    fi
    echo $(du -hs $dir)
}

This prints the size of the current directory or the directory you have passed as an argument.

How to specify names of columns for x and y when joining in dplyr?

This feature has been added in dplyr v0.3. You can now pass a named character vector to the by argument in left_join (and other joining functions) to specify which columns to join on in each data frame. With the example given in the original question, the code would be:

left_join(test_data, kantrowitz, by = c("first_name" = "name"))

How do I address unchecked cast warnings?

Just typecheck it before you cast it.

Object someObject = session.getAttribute("attributeKey");
if(someObject instanceof HashMap)
HashMap<String, String> theHash = (HashMap<String, String>)someObject;

And for anyone asking, it's quite common to receive objects where you aren't sure of the type. Plenty of legacy "SOA" implementations pass around various objects that you shouldn't always trust. (The horrors!)

EDIT Changed the example code once to match the poster's updates, and following some comments I see that instanceof doesn't play nicely with generics. However changing the check to validate the outer object seems to play well with the commandline compiler. Revised example now posted.

Java Class.cast() vs. cast operator

C++ and Java are different languages.

The Java C-style cast operator is much more restricted than the C/C++ version. Effectively the Java cast is like the C++ dynamic_cast if the object you have cannot be cast to the new class you will get a run time (or if there is enough information in the code a compile time) exception. Thus the C++ idea of not using C type casts is not a good idea in Java

MongoDB inserts float when trying to insert integer

If the value type is already double, then update the value with $set command can not change the value type double to int when using NumberInt() or NumberLong() function. So, to Change the value type, it must update the whole record.

re['value']=NumberInt(0)
db.data.update({"name": "zero"}, re)

How to check if a std::string is set or not?

How do I convert from stringstream to string in C++?

std::stringstream::str() is the method you are looking for.

With std::stringstream:

template <class T>
std::string YourClass::NumericToString(const T & NumericValue)
{
    std::stringstream ss;
    ss << NumericValue;
    return ss.str();
}

std::stringstream is a more generic tool. You can use the more specialized class std::ostringstream for this specific job.

template <class T>
std::string YourClass::NumericToString(const T & NumericValue)
{
    std::ostringstream oss;
    oss << NumericValue;
    return oss.str();
}

If you are working with std::wstring type of strings, you must prefer std::wstringstream or std::wostringstream instead.

template <class T>
std::wstring YourClass::NumericToString(const T & NumericValue)
{
    std::wostringstream woss;
    woss << NumericValue;
    return woss.str();
}

if you want the character type of your string could be run-time selectable, you should also make it a template variable.

template <class CharType, class NumType>
std::basic_string<CharType> YourClass::NumericToString(const NumType & NumericValue)
{
    std::basic_ostringstream<CharType> oss;
    oss << NumericValue;
    return oss.str();
}

For all the methods above, you must include the following two header files.

#include <string>
#include <sstream>

Note that, the argument NumericValue in the examples above can also be passed as std::string or std::wstring to be used with the std::ostringstream and std::wostringstream instances respectively. It is not necessary for the NumericValue to be a numeric value.

Convert System.Drawing.Color to RGB and Hex Value

I'm failing to see the problem here. The code looks good to me.

The only thing I can think of is that the try/catch blocks are redundant -- Color is a struct and R, G, and B are bytes, so c can't be null and c.R.ToString(), c.G.ToString(), and c.B.ToString() can't actually fail (the only way I can see them failing is with a NullReferenceException, and none of them can actually be null).

You could clean the whole thing up using the following:

private static String HexConverter(System.Drawing.Color c)
{
    return "#" + c.R.ToString("X2") + c.G.ToString("X2") + c.B.ToString("X2");
}

private static String RGBConverter(System.Drawing.Color c)
{
    return "RGB(" + c.R.ToString() + "," + c.G.ToString() + "," + c.B.ToString() + ")";
}

            echo "<td>$data[$c]</td>";
        }
        echo "</tr><tr>";
}

How do I POST JSON data with cURL?

Here is another way to do it, if you have dynamic data to be included.

#!/bin/bash

version=$1
text=$2
branch=$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)
repo_full_name=$(git config --get remote.origin.url | sed 's/.*:\/\/github.com\///;s/.git$//')
token=$(git config --global github.token)

generate_post_data()
{
  cat <<EOF
{
  "tag_name": "$version",
  "target_commitish": "$branch",
  "name": "$version",
  "body": "$text",
  "draft": false,
  "prerelease": false
}
EOF
}

echo "Create release $version for repo: $repo_full_name branch: $branch"
curl --data "$(generate_post_data)" "https://api.github.com/repos/$repo_full_name/releases?access_token=$token"

Best practice for instantiating a new Android Fragment

There is also another way:

Fragment.instantiate(context, MyFragment.class.getName(), myBundle)

How can I upload files asynchronously?

Simple Ajax Uploader is another option:

https://github.com/LPology/Simple-Ajax-Uploader

Cross-browser -- works in IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera
Supports multiple, concurrent uploads -- even in non-HTML5 browsers
No flash or external CSS -- just one 5Kb Javascript file
Optional, built-in support for fully cross-browser progress bars (using PHP's APC extension)
Flexible and highly customizable -- use any element as upload button, style your own progress indicators
No forms required, just provide an element that will serve as upload button
MIT license -- free to use in commercial project

Example usage:

var uploader = new ss.SimpleUpload({
    button: $('#uploadBtn'), // upload button
    url: '/uploadhandler', // URL of server-side upload handler
    name: 'userfile', // parameter name of the uploaded file
    onSubmit: function() {
        this.setProgressBar( $('#progressBar') ); // designate elem as our progress bar
    },
    onComplete: function(file, response) {
        // do whatever after upload is finished
    }
});

Limit text length to n lines using CSS

The solution from this thread is to use the jquery plugin dotdotdot. Not a CSS solution, but it gives you a lot of options for "read more" links, dynamic resizing etc.

JUnit Testing Exceptions

@Test(expected = Exception.class)

Tells Junit that exception is the expected result so test will be passed (marked as green) when exception is thrown.

For

@Test

Junit will consider test as failed if exception is thrown, provided it's an unchecked exception. If the exception is checked it won't compile and you will need to use other methods. This link might help.

Expected response code 220 but got code "", with message "" in Laravel

This problem can generally occur when you do not enable two step verification for the gmail account (which can be done here) you are using to send an email. So first, enable two step verification, you can find plenty of resources for enabling two step verification. After you enable it, then you have to create an app password. And use the app password in your .env file. When you are done with it, your .env file will look something like.

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=<<your email address>>
MAIL_PASSWORD=<<app password>>
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls

and your mail.php

<?php

return [
    'driver' => env('MAIL_DRIVER', 'smtp'),
    'host' => env('MAIL_HOST', 'smtp.gmail.com'),
    'port' => env('MAIL_PORT', 587),
    'from' => ['address' => '<<your email>>', 'name' => '<<any name>>'],
    'encryption' => env('MAIL_ENCRYPTION', 'tls'),
    'username' => env('MAIL_USERNAME'),
    'password' => env('MAIL_PASSWORD'),
    'sendmail' => '/usr/sbin/sendmail -bs',
    'pretend' => false,

];

After doing so, run php artisan config:cache and php artisan config:clear, then check, email should work.

calculate the mean for each column of a matrix in R

For diversity: Another way is to converts a vector function to one that works with data frames by using plyr::colwise()

set.seed(1)
m <- data.frame(matrix(sample(100, 20, replace = TRUE), ncol = 4))

plyr::colwise(mean)(m)


#   X1   X2   X3   X4
# 1 47 64.4 44.8 67.8

$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] missing

From the documentation:

The address of the page (if any) which referred the user agent to the current page. This is set by the user agent. Not all user agents will set this, and some provide the ability to modify HTTP_REFERER as a feature. In short, it cannot really be trusted.

How do I create and read a value from cookie?

An improved version of the readCookie:

function readCookie( name )
{
    var cookieParts = document.cookie.split( ';' )
    ,   i           = 0
    ,   part
    ,   part_data
    ,   value
    ;

    while( part = cookieParts[ i++ ] )
    {
        part_data = part.split( '=' );

        if ( part_data.shift().replace(/\s/, '' ) === name )
        {
            value = part_data.shift();
            break;
        }

    }
    return value;
}

This should break as soon as you have found your cookie value and return its value. In my opinion very elegant with the double split.

The replace on the if-condition is a white space trim, to make sure it matches correctly

In ASP.NET MVC: All possible ways to call Controller Action Method from a Razor View

Method 1 : Using jQuery Ajax Get call (partial page update).

Suitable for when you need to retrieve jSon data from database.

Controller's Action Method

[HttpGet]
public ActionResult Foo(string id)
{
    var person = Something.GetPersonByID(id);
    return Json(person, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}

Jquery GET

function getPerson(id) {
    $.ajax({
        url: '@Url.Action("Foo", "SomeController")',
        type: 'GET',
        dataType: 'json',
        // we set cache: false because GET requests are often cached by browsers
        // IE is particularly aggressive in that respect
        cache: false,
        data: { id: id },
        success: function(person) {
            $('#FirstName').val(person.FirstName);
            $('#LastName').val(person.LastName);
        }
    });
}

Person class

public class Person
{
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
    public string LastName { get; set; }
}

Method 2 : Using jQuery Ajax Post call (partial page update).

Suitable for when you need to do partial page post data into database.

Post method is also same like above just replace [HttpPost] on Action method and type as post for jquery method.

For more information check Posting JSON Data to MVC Controllers Here

Method 3 : As a Form post scenario (full page update).

Suitable for when you need to save or update data into database.

View

@using (Html.BeginForm("SaveData","ControllerName", FormMethod.Post))
{        
    @Html.TextBoxFor(model => m.Text)
    
    <input type="submit" value="Save" />
}

Action Method

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult SaveData(FormCollection form)
    {
        // Get movie to update
        return View();
   }

Method 4 : As a Form Get scenario (full page update).

Suitable for when you need to Get data from database

Get method also same like above just replace [HttpGet] on Action method and FormMethod.Get for View's form method.

I hope this will help to you.

How do I convert a column of text URLs into active hyperlinks in Excel?

OK, here's a hokey solution, but I just can't figure out how to get Excel to evaluate a column of URLs as hyperlinks in bulk.

Create a formula, ="=hyperlink(""" & A1 & """)"
Drag down
Copy new formula column
Paste Special Values-only over the original column
Highlight column, click Ctrl-H (to replace), finding and replacing = with = (somehow forces re-evaluation of cells).
Cells should now be clickable as hyperlinks. If you want the blue/underline style, then just highlight all cells and choose the Hyperlink style.

The hyperlink style alone won't convert to clickable links, and the "Insert Hyperlink" dialog can't seem to use the text as the address for a bunch of cells in bulk. Aside from that, F2 and Enter through all cells would do it, but that's tedious for a lot of cells.

How to check a not-defined variable in JavaScript

You can also use the ternary conditional-operator:

_x000D_

var a = "hallo world";_x000D_
var a = !a ? document.write("i dont know 'a'") : document.write("a = " + a);

_x000D_

//var a = "hallo world";_x000D_
var a = !a ? document.write("i dont know 'a'") : document.write("a = " + a);

_x000D_

sending email via php mail function goes to spam

One thing that I have observed is likely the email address you're providing is not a valid email address at the domain. like [email protected]. The email should be existing at Google Domain. I had alot of issues before figuring that out myself... Hope it helps.

Virtual Serial Port for Linux

Complementing the @slonik's answer.

You can test socat to create Virtual Serial Port doing the following procedure (tested on Ubuntu 12.04):

Open a terminal (let's call it Terminal 0) and execute it:

socat -d -d pty,raw,echo=0 pty,raw,echo=0

The code above returns:

2013/11/01 13:47:27 socat[2506] N PTY is /dev/pts/2
2013/11/01 13:47:27 socat[2506] N PTY is /dev/pts/3
2013/11/01 13:47:27 socat[2506] N starting data transfer loop with FDs [3,3] and [5,5]

Open another terminal and write (Terminal 1):

cat < /dev/pts/2

this command's port name can be changed according to the pc. it's depends on the previous output.

2013/11/01 13:47:27 socat[2506] N PTY is /dev/pts/**2**
2013/11/01 13:47:27 socat[2506] N PTY is /dev/pts/**3**
2013/11/01 13:47:27 socat[2506] N starting data transfer loop with FDs

you should use the number available on highlighted area.

Open another terminal and write (Terminal 2):

echo "Test" > /dev/pts/3

Now back to Terminal 1 and you'll see the string "Test".

How do I mount a host directory as a volume in docker compose

It was two things:

I added the volume in docker-compose.yml:

node:
  volumes:
    - ./node:/app

I moved the npm install && nodemon app.js pieces into a CMD because RUN adds things to the Union File System, and my volume isn't part of UFS.

# Set the base image to Ubuntu
FROM    node:boron

# File Author / Maintainer
MAINTAINER Amin Shah Gilani <[email protected]>

# Install nodemon
RUN npm install -g nodemon

# Add a /app volume
VOLUME ["/app"]

# Define working directory
WORKDIR /app

# Expose port
EXPOSE  8080

# Run npm install
CMD npm install && nodemon app.js

Call to undefined function curl_init().?

If you're on Windows:

Go to your php.ini file and remove the ; mark from the beginning of the following line:

;extension=php_curl.dll

After you have saved the file you must restart your HTTP server software (e.g. Apache) before this can take effect.

For Ubuntu 13.0 and above, simply use the debundled package. In a terminal type the following to install it and do not forgot to restart server.

sudo apt-get install php-curl

Or if you're using the old PHP5

sudo apt-get install php5-curl

sudo apt-get install php5.6-curl

Then restart apache to activate the package with

sudo service apache2 restart

Android: Bitmaps loaded from gallery are rotated in ImageView

Have you looked at the EXIF data of the images? It may know the orientation of the camera when the picture was taken.

for each loop in groovy

you can use below groovy code for maps with foreachloop

def map=[key1:'value1',key2:'value2']

for(item in map)
{
log.info item.value // this will print value1 value2
log.info item // this will print key1=value1 key2=value2
}

How to rollback everything to previous commit

If you have pushed the commits upstream...

Select the commit you would like to roll back to and reverse the changes by clicking Reverse File, Reverse Hunk or Reverse Selected Lines. Do this for all the commits after the commit you would like to roll back to also.

reverse stuff reverse commit

If you have not pushed the commits upstream...

Right click on the commit and click on Reset current branch to this commit.

How to understand nil vs. empty vs. blank in Ruby

Just a little note about the any? recommendation: He's right that it's generally equivalent to !empty?. However, any? will return true to a string of just whitespace (ala " ").

And of course, see the 1.9 comment above, too.

How do I rename all folders and files to lowercase on Linux?

If you use Arch Linux, you can install rename) package from AUR that provides the renamexm command as /usr/bin/renamexm executable and a manual page along with it.

It is a really powerful tool to quickly rename files and directories.

Convert to lowercase

rename -l Developers.mp3 # or --lowcase

Convert to UPPER case

rename -u developers.mp3 # or --upcase, long option

Other options

-R --recursive # directory and its children

-t --test # Dry run, output but don't rename

-o --owner # Change file owner as well to user specified

-v --verbose # Output what file is renamed and its new name

-s/str/str2 # Substitute string on pattern

--yes # Confirm all actions

You can fetch the sample Developers.mp3 file from here, if needed ;)

LINQ equivalent of foreach for IEnumerable<T>

There is an experimental release by Microsoft of Interactive Extensions to LINQ (also on NuGet, see RxTeams's profile for more links). The Channel 9 video explains it well.

Its docs are only provided in XML format. I have run this documentation in Sandcastle to allow it to be in a more readable format. Unzip the docs archive and look for index.html.

Among many other goodies, it provides the expected ForEach implementation. It allows you to write code like this:

int[] numbers = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 };

numbers.ForEach(x => Console.WriteLine(x*x));

How to return JSon object

You only have one row to serialize. Try something like this :

List<results> resultRows = new List<results>

resultRows.Add(new results{id = 1, value="ABC", info="ABC"});
resultRows.Add(new results{id = 2, value="XYZ", info="XYZ"});

string json = JavaScriptSerializer.Serialize(new { results = resultRows});

Edit to match OP's original json output

** Edit 2 : sorry, but I missed that he was using JSON.NET. Using the JavaScriptSerializer the above code produces this result :

{"results":[{"id":1,"value":"ABC","info":"ABC"},{"id":2,"value":"XYZ","info":"XYZ"}]}

How do I attach events to dynamic HTML elements with jQuery?

You can bind a single click event to a page for all elements, no matter if they are already on that page or if they will arrive at some future time, like that:

$(document).bind('click', function (e) {
   var target = $(e.target);
   if (target.is('.myclass')) {
      e.preventDefault(); // if you want to cancel the event flow
      // do something
   } else if (target.is('.myotherclass')) {
      e.preventDefault();
      // do something else
   }
});

Been using it for a while. Works like a charm.

In jQuery 1.7 and later, it is recommended to use .on() in place of bind or any other event delegation method, but .bind() still works.

What exactly is "exit" in PowerShell?

It's a reserved keyword (like return, filter, function, break).

Reference

Also, as per Section 7.6.4 of Bruce Payette's Powershell in Action:

But what happens when you want a script to exit from within a function defined in that script? ... To make this easier, Powershell has the exit keyword.

Of course, as other have pointed out, it's not hard to do what you want by wrapping exit in a function:

PS C:\> function ex{exit}
PS C:\> new-alias ^D ex

REST response code for invalid data

It is amusing to return 418 I'm a teapot to requests that are obviously crafted or malicious and "can't happen", such as failing CSRF check or missing request properties.

2.3.2 418 I'm a teapot

Any attempt to brew coffee with a teapot should result in the error code "418 I'm a teapot". The resulting entity body MAY be short and stout.

To keep it reasonably serious, I restrict usage of funny error codes to RESTful endpoints that are not directly exposed to the user.

check if file exists on remote host with ssh

You can specify the shell to be used by the remote host locally.

echo 'echo "Bash version: ${BASH_VERSION}"' | ssh -q localhost bash

And be careful to (single-)quote the variables you wish to be expanded by the remote host; otherwise variable expansion will be done by your local shell!

# example for local / remote variable expansion
{
echo "[[ $- == *i* ]] && echo 'Interactive' || echo 'Not interactive'" | 
    ssh -q localhost bash
echo '[[ $- == *i* ]] && echo "Interactive" || echo "Not interactive"' | 
    ssh -q localhost bash
}

So, to check if a certain file exists on the remote host you can do the following:

host='localhost'  # localhost as test case
file='~/.bash_history'
if `echo 'test -f '"${file}"' && exit 0 || exit 1' | ssh -q "${host}" sh`; then
#if `echo '[[ -f '"${file}"' ]] && exit 0 || exit 1' | ssh -q "${host}" bash`; then
   echo exists
else
   echo does not exist
fi

404 Not Found The requested URL was not found on this server

Just solved this problem! I know the question is quite old, but I just had this same problem and none of the answers above helped to solve it.

Assuming the actual domain name you want to use is specified in your c:\windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts and your configurations in apache\conf\httpd.conf and apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhots.conf are right, your problem might be the same as mine:

In Apache's htdocs directory I had a shortcut linking to the actual project I wanted to see in the browser. It turns out, Apache doesn't understand shortcuts. My solution was to create a proper symlink:

In windows, and within the httdocs directory, I ran this command in the terminal:

mklink /d ple <your project directory with index.html>

This created a proper symlink in the httpdocs directory. After restarting the Apache service and then reloading the page, I was able to see my website up :)

Alphanumeric, dash and underscore but no spaces regular expression check JavaScript

try this one, it is working fine for me.

"^([a-zA-Z])[a-zA-Z0-9-_]*$"

Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding. The statement has been terminated

Also you need to check if individual record is not getting updated in the logic because with update trigger in the place causes time out error too.

So, the solution is to make sure you perform bulk update after the loop/cursor instead of one record at a time in the loop.

Android: Storing username and password?

You should use the Android AccountManager. It's purpose-built for this scenario. It's a little bit cumbersome but one of the things it does is invalidate the local credentials if the SIM card changes, so if somebody swipes your phone and throws a new SIM in it, your credentials won't be compromised.

This also gives the user a quick and easy way to access (and potentially delete) the stored credentials for any account they have on the device, all from one place.

SampleSyncAdapter (like @Miguel mentioned) is an example that makes use of stored account credentials.

Output of git branch in tree like fashion

It's not quite what you asked for, but

git log --graph --simplify-by-decoration --pretty=format:'%d' --all

does a pretty good job. It shows tags and remote branches as well. This may not be desirable for everyone, but I find it useful. --simplifiy-by-decoration is the big trick here for limiting the refs shown.

I use a similar command to view my log. I've been able to completely replace my gitk usage with it:

git log --graph --oneline --decorate --all

I use it by including these aliases in my ~/.gitconfig file:

[alias]
    l = log --graph --oneline --decorate
    ll = log --graph --oneline --decorate --branches --tags
    lll = log --graph --oneline --decorate --all

Edit: Updated suggested log command/aliases to use simpler option flags.

Difference between document.addEventListener and window.addEventListener?

You'll find that in javascript, there are usually many different ways to do the same thing or find the same information. In your example, you are looking for some element that is guaranteed to always exist. window and document both fit the bill (with just a few differences).

From mozilla dev network:

addEventListener() registers a single event listener on a single target. The event target may be a single element in a document, the document itself, a window, or an XMLHttpRequest.

So as long as you can count on your "target" always being there, the only difference is what events you're listening for, so just use your favorite.

find vs find_by vs where

Edit: This answer is very old and other, better answers have come up since this post was made. I'd advise looking at the one posted below by @Hossam Khamis for more details.

Use whichever one you feel suits your needs best.

The find method is usually used to retrieve a row by ID:

Model.find(1)

It's worth noting that find will throw an exception if the item is not found by the attribute that you supply. Use where (as described below, which will return an empty array if the attribute is not found) to avoid an exception being thrown.

Other uses of find are usually replaced with things like this:

Model.all
Model.first

find_by is used as a helper when you're searching for information within a column, and it maps to such with naming conventions. For instance, if you have a column named name in your database, you'd use the following syntax:

Model.find_by(name: "Bob")

.where is more of a catch all that lets you use a bit more complex logic for when the conventional helpers won't do, and it returns an array of items that match your conditions (or an empty array otherwise).

Difference between Role and GrantedAuthority in Spring Security

Another way to understand the relationship between these concepts is to interpret a ROLE as a container of Authorities.

Authorities are fine-grained permissions targeting a specific action coupled sometimes with specific data scope or context. For instance, Read, Write, Manage, can represent various levels of permissions to a given scope of information.

Also, authorities are enforced deep in the processing flow of a request while ROLE are filtered by request filter way before reaching the Controller. Best practices prescribe implementing the authorities enforcement past the Controller in the business layer.

On the other hand, ROLES are coarse grained representation of an set of permissions. A ROLE_READER would only have Read or View authority while a ROLE_EDITOR would have both Read and Write. Roles are mainly used for a first screening at the outskirt of the request processing such as http. ... .antMatcher(...).hasRole(ROLE_MANAGER)

The Authorities being enforced deep in the request's process flow allows a finer grained application of the permission. For instance, a user may have Read Write permission to first level a resource but only Read to a sub-resource. Having a ROLE_READER would restrain his right to edit the first level resource as he needs the Write permission to edit this resource but a @PreAuthorize interceptor could block his tentative to edit the sub-resource.

htaccess redirect to https://www

If you are on CloudFlare, make sure you use something like this.

# BEGIN SSL Redirect
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} =http
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
</IfModule>
# END SSL Redirect

This will save you from the redirect loop and will redirect your site to SSL safely.

P.S. It is a good idea to if check the mod_rewrite.c!

How to check "hasRole" in Java Code with Spring Security?

Giving a border to an HTML table row, <tr>

You can set border properties on a tr element, but according to the CSS 2.1 specification, such properties have no effect in the separated borders model, which tends to be the default in browsers. Ref.: 17.6.1 The separated borders model. (The initial value of border-collapse is separate according to CSS 2.1, and some browsers also set it as default value for table. The net effect anyway is that you get separated border on almost all browsers unless you explicitly specifi collapse.)

Thus, you need to use collapsing borders. Example:

<style>
table { border-collapse: collapse; }
tr:nth-child(3) { border: solid thin; }
</style>

Swift: Testing optionals for nil

In Xcode Beta 5, they no longer let you do:

var xyz : NSString?

if xyz {
  // Do something using `xyz`.
}

This produces an error:

does not conform to protocol 'BooleanType.Protocol'

You have to use one of these forms:

if xyz != nil {
   // Do something using `xyz`.
}

if let xy = xyz {
   // Do something using `xy`.
}

Rearrange columns using cut

using just the shell,

while read -r col1 col2
do
  echo $col2 $col1
done <"file"

Making macOS Installer Packages which are Developer ID ready

There is one very interesting application by Stéphane Sudre which does all of this for you, is scriptable / supports building from the command line, has a super nice GUI and is FREE. Sad thing is: it's called "Packages" which makes it impossible to find in google.

http://s.sudre.free.fr/Software/Packages/about.html

I wished I had known about it before I started handcrafting my own scripts.

js 'types' can only be used in a .ts file - Visual Studio Code using @ts-check

Just default the variable to the expected type:

(number=1) => ...
(number=1.0) => ...
(string='str') ...

Why should I prefer to use member initialization lists?

Syntax:

  class Sample
  {
     public:
         int Sam_x;
         int Sam_y;

     Sample(): Sam_x(1), Sam_y(2)     /* Classname: Initialization List */
     {
           // Constructor body
     }
  };

Need of Initialization list:

 class Sample
 {
     public:
         int Sam_x;
         int Sam_y;

     Sample()     */* Object and variables are created - i.e.:declaration of variables */*
     { // Constructor body starts 

         Sam_x = 1;      */* Defining a value to the variable */* 
         Sam_y = 2;

     } // Constructor body ends
  };

in the above program, When the class’s constructor is executed, Sam_x and Sam_y are created. Then in constructor body, those member data variables are defined.

Use cases:

Const and Reference variables in a Class

In C, variables must be defined during creation. the same way in C++, we must initialize the Const and Reference variable during object creation by using Initialization list. if we do initialization after object creation (Inside constructor body), we will get compile time error.

Member objects of Sample1 (base) class which do not have default constructor

 class Sample1 
 {
     int i;
     public:
     Sample1 (int temp)
     {
        i = temp;
     }
 };

  // Class Sample2 contains object of Sample1 
 class Sample2
 {
  Sample1  a;
  public:
  Sample2 (int x): a(x)      /* Initializer list must be used */
  {

  }
 };

While creating object for derived class which will internally calls derived class constructor and calls base class constructor (default). if base class does not have default constructor, user will get compile time error. To avoid, we must have either

 1. Default constructor of Sample1 class
 2. Initialization list in Sample2 class which will call the parametric constructor of Sample1 class (as per above program)

Class constructor’s parameter name and Data member of a Class are same:

 class Sample3 {
    int i;         /* Member variable name : i */  
    public:
    Sample3 (int i)    /* Local variable name : i */ 
    {
        i = i;
        print(i);   /* Local variable: Prints the correct value which we passed in constructor */
    }
    int getI() const 
    { 
         print(i);    /*global variable: Garbage value is assigned to i. the expected value should be which we passed in constructor*/
         return i; 
    }
 };

As we all know, local variable having highest priority then global variable if both variables are having same name. In this case, the program consider "i" value {both left and right side variable. i.e: i = i} as local variable in Sample3() constructor and Class member variable(i) got override. To avoid, we must use either

  1. Initialization list 
  2. this operator.

The 3 GB free RAM is not really true. There is a large chunk of RAM that ZFS caches use, but I don't have root access to check how much exactly

Pandas left outer join multiple dataframes on multiple columns

One can also do this with a compact version of @TomAugspurger's answer, like so:

df = df1.merge(df2, how='left', on=['Year', 'Week', 'Colour']).merge(df3[['Week', 'Colour', 'Val3']], how='left', on=['Week', 'Colour'])
