Programs & Examples On #Dotfuscator

Dotfuscator provides application self-protection and obfuscation for any type of .NET app through a combination of binary obfuscation/hardening, detection, defense and alert controls. A lite version (Dotfuscator CE) is included inside Visual Studio.

.NET obfuscation tools/strategy

I've been obfuscating code in the same application since .Net 1, and it's been a major headache from a maintenance perspective. As you've mentioned, the serialization problem can be avoided, but it's really easy to make a mistake and obfuscate something you didn't want obfuscated. It's easy to break the build, or to change the obfuscation pattern and not be able to open old files. Plus it can be difficult to find out what went wrong and where.

Our choice was Xenocode, and were I to make the choice again today I would prefer to not obfuscate the code, or use Dotfuscator.

How to run two jQuery animations simultaneously?

See this brilliant blog post about animating values in objects.. you can then use the values to animate whatever you like, 100% simultaneously!

http://www.josscrowcroft.com/2011/code/jquery-animate-increment-decrement-numeric-text-elements-value/

I've used it like this to slide in/out:

        slide : function(id, prop, from, to) {
            if (from < to) {
                // Sliding out
                var fromvals = { add: from, subtract: 0 };
                var tovals = { add: to, subtract: 0 };
            } else {
                // Sliding back in
                var fromvals = { add: from, subtract: to };
                var tovals = { add: from, subtract: from };
            }

            $(fromvals).animate(tovals, {
                duration: 200,
                easing: 'swing', // can be anything
                step: function () { // called on every step
                    // Slide using the entire -ms-grid-columns setting
                    $(id).css(prop, (this.add - this.subtract) + 'px 1.5fr 0.3fr 8fr 3fr 5fr 0.5fr');
                }
            });
        }

Is a Python list guaranteed to have its elements stay in the order they are inserted in?

You are confusing 'sets' and 'lists'. A set does not guarantee order, but lists do.

Sets are declared using curly brackets: {}. In contrast, lists are declared using square brackets: [].

mySet = {a, b, c, c}

Does not guarantee order, but list does:

myList = [a, b, c]

8080 port already taken issue when trying to redeploy project from Spring Tool Suite IDE

There are two ways to resolve this issue.Try option 1 first, if it doesn't work try option 2, and your problem is solved.

1) On the top right corner of your console, there is a red button, to stop the spring boot application which is already running on this port just click on the red button to terminate.

2) If the red button is not activated you need to right click on the console and select terminate/disconnect all. Hope this helps.

Bonus tip:- If you want to run your server on a different port of your choice, create a file named application.properties in resource folder of your maven project and write server.port=3000 to run your application on port 3000

Freeze the top row for an html table only (Fixed Table Header Scrolling)

According to Pure CSS Scrollable Table with Fixed Header , I wrote a DEMO to easily fix the header by setting overflow:auto to the tbody.

table thead tr{
    display:block;
}

table th,table td{
    width:100px;//fixed width
}


table  tbody{
  display:block;
  height:200px;
  overflow:auto;//set tbody to auto
}

Doctrine findBy 'does not equal'

Based on the answer from Luis, you can do something more like the default findBy method.

First, create a default repository class that is going to be used by all your entities.

/* $config is the entity manager configuration object. */
$config->setDefaultRepositoryClassName( 'MyCompany\Repository' );

Or you can edit this in config.yml

doctrine: orm: default_repository_class: MyCompany\Repository

Then:

<?php

namespace MyCompany;

use Doctrine\ORM\EntityRepository;

class Repository extends EntityRepository {

    public function findByNot( array $criteria, array $orderBy = null, $limit = null, $offset = null )
    {
        $qb = $this->getEntityManager()->createQueryBuilder();
        $expr = $this->getEntityManager()->getExpressionBuilder();

        $qb->select( 'entity' )
            ->from( $this->getEntityName(), 'entity' );

        foreach ( $criteria as $field => $value ) {
            // IF INTEGER neq, IF NOT notLike
            if($this->getEntityManager()->getClassMetadata($this->getEntityName())->getFieldMapping($field)["type"]=="integer") {
                $qb->andWhere( $expr->neq( 'entity.' . $field, $value ) );
            } else {
                $qb->andWhere( $expr->notLike( 'entity.' . $field, $qb->expr()->literal($value) ) );
            }
        }

        if ( $orderBy ) {

            foreach ( $orderBy as $field => $order ) {

                $qb->addOrderBy( 'entity.' . $field, $order );
            }
        }

        if ( $limit )
            $qb->setMaxResults( $limit );

        if ( $offset )
            $qb->setFirstResult( $offset );

        return $qb->getQuery()
            ->getResult();
    }

}

The usage is the same than the findBy method, example:

$entityManager->getRepository( 'MyRepo' )->findByNot(
    array( 'status' => Status::STATUS_DISABLED )
);

How to center a checkbox in a table cell?

My problem was that there was a parent style with position: absolute !important which I was not allowed to edit.

So I gave my specific checkbox position: relative !important and it fixed the vertical misalignment issue.

Undefined reference to pow( ) in C, despite including math.h

You need to link with the math library:

gcc -o sphere sphere.c -lm

The error you are seeing: error: ld returned 1 exit status is from the linker ld (part of gcc that combines the object files) because it is unable to find where the function pow is defined.

Including math.h brings in the declaration of the various functions and not their definition. The def is present in the math library libm.a. You need to link your program with this library so that the calls to functions like pow() are resolved.

Git: How to squash all commits on branch

Another way to squash all your commits is to reset the index to master:

 git checkout yourBranch
 git reset $(git merge-base master yourBranch)
 git add -A
 git commit -m "one commit on yourBranch"

This isn't perfect as it implies you know from which branch "yourBranch" is coming from.
Note: finding that origin branch isn't easy/possible with Git (the visual way is often the easiest, as seen here).


EDIT: you will need to use git push --force


Karlotcha Hoa adds in the comments:

For the reset, you can do

git reset $(git merge-base master $(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)) 

[That] automatically uses the branch you are currently on.
And if you use that, you can also use an alias, as the command doesn't rely on the branch name.

Linq on DataTable: select specific column into datatable, not whole table

Try Access DataTable easiest way which can help you for getting perfect idea for accessing DataTable, DataSet using Linq...

Consider following example, suppose we have DataTable like below.

DataTable ObjDt = new DataTable("List");
ObjDt.Columns.Add("WorkName", typeof(string));
ObjDt.Columns.Add("Price", typeof(decimal));
ObjDt.Columns.Add("Area", typeof(string));
ObjDt.Columns.Add("Quantity",typeof(int));
ObjDt.Columns.Add("Breath",typeof(decimal));
ObjDt.Columns.Add("Length",typeof(decimal));

Here above is the code for DatTable, here we assume that there are some data are available in this DataTable, and we have to bind Grid view of particular by processing some data as shown below.

Area | Quantity | Breath | Length | Price = Quantity * breath *Length

Than we have to fire following query which will give us exact result as we want.

var data = ObjDt.AsEnumerable().Select
            (r => new
            {
                Area = r.Field<string>("Area"),
                Que = r.Field<int>("Quantity"),
                Breath = r.Field<decimal>("Breath"),
                Length = r.Field<decimal>("Length"),
                totLen = r.Field<int>("Quantity") * (r.Field<decimal>("Breath") * r.Field<decimal>("Length"))
            }).ToList();

We just have to assign this data variable as Data Source.

By using this simple Linq query we can get all our accepts, and also we can perform all other LINQ queries with this…

Python: fastest way to create a list of n lists

The list comprehensions actually are implemented more efficiently than explicit looping (see the dis output for example functions) and the map way has to invoke an ophaque callable object on every iteration, which incurs considerable overhead overhead.

Regardless, [[] for _dummy in xrange(n)] is the right way to do it and none of the tiny (if existent at all) speed differences between various other ways should matter. Unless of course you spend most of your time doing this - but in that case, you should work on your algorithms instead. How often do you create these lists?

Is there an easy way to convert Android Application to IPad, IPhone

I think you cannot speak of a "conversion" here. That will be a whole project. To "convert" it i think you have to write it again for the iphone.

Have a look at this question:

Is there a multiplatform framework for developing iPhone / Android applications?

As you can see from the answers there, there is no good way of developing applications for both platforms at the same time (except if you're developing games where flash makes it easy to be portable).

How to get the real and total length of char * (char array)?

You can make a back-tracker character, ex, you could append any special character say "%" to the end of your string and then check the occurrence of that character.
But this is a very risky way as that character can be in other places also in the char*

char* stringVar = new char[4] ; 
stringVar[0] = 'H' ; 
stringVar[1] = 'E' ; 
stringVar[2] = '$' ; // back-tracker character.
int i = 0 ;
while(1)
{
   if (stringVar[i] == '$')
     break ; 
   i++ ; 
}
//  i is the length of the string.
// you need to make sure, that there is no other $ in the char* 

Otherwise define a custom structure to keep track of length and allocate memory.

Can iterators be reset in Python?

There's a bug in using .seek(0) as advocated by Alex Martelli and Wilduck above, namely that the next call to .next() will give you a dictionary of your header row in the form of {key1:key1, key2:key2, ...}. The work around is to follow file.seek(0) with a call to reader.next() to get rid of the header row.

So your code would look something like this:

f_in = open('myfile.csv','r')
reader = csv.DictReader(f_in)

for record in reader:
    if some_condition:
        # reset reader to first row of data on 2nd line of file
        f_in.seek(0)
        reader.next()
        continue
    do_something(record)

Can I install the "app store" in an IOS simulator?

Exception: Serialization of 'Closure' is not allowed

Direct Closure serialisation is not allowed by PHP. But you can use powefull class like PHP Super Closure : https://github.com/jeremeamia/super_closure

This class is really simple to use and is bundled into the laravel framework for the queue manager.

From the github documentation :

$helloWorld = new SerializableClosure(function ($name = 'World') use ($greeting) {
    echo "{$greeting}, {$name}!\n";
});

$serialized = serialize($helloWorld);

SQL to Query text in access with an apostrophe in it

...better is declare the name as varible ,and ask before if thereis a apostrophe in the string:

e.g.:

DIM YourName string

YourName = "Daniel O'Neal"

  If InStr(YourName, "'") Then
      SELECT * FROM tblStudents WHERE [name]  Like """ Your Name """ ;
   else
      SELECT * FROM tblStudents WHERE [name] Like '" Your Name "' ;       
  endif

div hover background-color change?

}

Center a H1 tag inside a DIV

You can add line-height:51px to #AlertDiv h1 if you know it's only ever going to be one line. Also add text-align:center to #AlertDiv.

#AlertDiv {
    top:198px;
    left:365px;
    width:62px;
    height:51px;
    color:white;
    position:absolute;
    text-align:center;
    background-color:black;
}

#AlertDiv h1 {
    margin:auto;
    line-height:51px;
    vertical-align:middle;
}

The demo below also uses negative margins to keep the #AlertDiv centered on both axis, even when the window is resized.

Reading content from URL with Node.js

A slightly modified version of @sidanmor 's code. The main point is, not every webpage is purely ASCII, user should be able to handle the decoding manually (even encode into base64)

function httpGet(url) {
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    const http = require('http'),
      https = require('https');

    let client = http;

    if (url.toString().indexOf("https") === 0) {
      client = https;
    }

    client.get(url, (resp) => {
      let chunks = [];

      // A chunk of data has been recieved.
      resp.on('data', (chunk) => {
        chunks.push(chunk);
      });

      // The whole response has been received. Print out the result.
      resp.on('end', () => {
        resolve(Buffer.concat(chunks));
      });

    }).on("error", (err) => {
      reject(err);
    });
  });
}

(async(url) => {
  var buf = await httpGet(url);
  console.log(buf.toString('utf-8'));
})('https://httpbin.org/headers');

Changing Fonts Size in Matlab Plots

To change the default property for your entire MATLAB session, see the documentation on how default properties are handled.

plot(x,y)
title('hello'); xlabel('x'); ylabel('sin(x)')

How to define a connection string to a SQL Server 2008 database?

Copy/Paste what is below into your code:

SqlConnection cnTrupp = new SqlConnection("Initial Catalog = Database;Data Source = localhost;Persist Security Info=True;Integrated Security = True;");

Keep in mind that this solution uses your windows account to log in.

As John and Adam have said, this has to do with how you are logging in (or not logging in). Look at the link John provided to get a better explanation.

How to call a shell script from python code?

Subprocess module is a good module to launch subprocesses. You can use it to call shell commands as this:

subprocess.call(["ls","-l"]);
#basic syntax
#subprocess.call(args, *)

You can see its documentation here.

If you have your script written in some .sh file or a long string, then you can use os.system module. It is fairly simple and easy to call:

import os
os.system("your command here")
# or
os.system('sh file.sh')

This command will run the script once, to completion, and block until it exits.

InputStream from a URL

Your original code uses FileInputStream, which is for accessing file system hosted files.

The constructor you used will attempt to locate a file named a.txt in the www.somewebsite.com subfolder of the current working directory (the value of system property user.dir). The name you provide is resolved to a file using the File class.

URL objects are the generic way to solve this. You can use URLs to access local files but also network hosted resources. The URL class supports the file:// protocol besides http:// or https:// so you're good to go.

In Bootstrap open Enlarge image in modal

So I have put together a very rough modal in jsfiddle for you to take hints from.

JSFiddle

$("#pop").on("click", function(e) {
  // e.preventDefault() this is stopping the redirect to the image its self
  e.preventDefault();
  // #the-modal is the img tag that I use as the modal.
  $('#the-modal').modal('toggle');
});

The part that you are missing is the hidden modal that you want to display when the link is clicked. In the example I used a second image as the modal and added the Bootstap classes.

Real world use of JMS/message queues?

Distributed (a)synchronous computing.
A real world example could be an application-wide notification framework, which sends mails to the stakeholders at various points during the course of application usage. So the application would act as a Producer by create a Message object, putting it on a particular Queue, and moving forward.
There would be a set of Consumers who would subscribe to the Queue in question, and would take care handling the Message sent across. Note that during the course of this transaction, the Producers are decoupled from the logic of how a given Message would be handled.
Messaging frameworks (ActiveMQ and the likes) act as a backbone to facilitate such Message transactions by providing MessageBrokers.

how to make a countdown timer in java

How to set up Automapper in ASP.NET Core

For AutoMapper 9.0.0:

public static IEnumerable<Type> GetAutoMapperProfilesFromAllAssemblies()
    {
        foreach (var assembly in AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies())
        {
            foreach (var aType in assembly.GetTypes())
            {
                if (aType.IsClass && !aType.IsAbstract && aType.IsSubclassOf(typeof(Profile)))
                    yield return aType;
            }
        }
    }

MapperProfile:

public class OrganizationProfile : Profile
{
  public OrganizationProfile()
  {
    CreateMap<Foo, FooDto>();
    // Use CreateMap... Etc.. here (Profile methods are the same as configuration methods)
  }
}

In your Startup:

services.AddAutoMapper(GetAutoMapperProfilesFromAllAssemblies()
            .ToArray());

In Controller or service: Inject mapper:

private readonly IMapper _mapper;

Usage:

var obj = _mapper.Map<TDest>(sourceObject);

Use sed to replace all backslashes with forward slashes

This might work for you:

sed 'y/\\/\//'

.NET Core vs Mono

In the .NET world there are two types of CLRs, "full" CLRs and Core CLRs, and these are quite different things.

There are two "full" CLR implementations, the Microsoft native .NET CLR (for Windows) and the Mono CLR (which itself has implementations for Windows, linux and unix (Mac OS X and FreeBSD)). A full CLR is exactly that - everything, pretty much, that you need. As such, "full" CLRs tend to be large in size.

Core CLRs are on the other hand are cut down, and much smaller. Because they are only a core implementation, they are unlikely to have everything you need in them, so with Core CLRs you add feature sets to the CLR that your specific software product uses, using NuGet. There are Core CLR implementations for Windows, linux (various) and unix (Mac OS X and FreeBSD) in the mix. Microsoft have or are refactoring the .NET framework libraries for Core CLR too, to make them more portable for the core context. Given mono's presence on *nix OSs it would be a surprise if the Core CLRs for *nix did not include some mono code base, but only the Mono community and Microsoft could tell us that for sure.

Also, I'd concur with Nico in that Core CLRs are new -- it's at RC2 at the moment I think. I wouldn't depend on it for production code yet.

To answer your question you could delivery your site on linux using Core CLR or Mono, and these are two different ways of doing it. If you want a safe bet right now I'd go with mono on linux, then port if you want to later, to Core.

How do I use an INSERT statement's OUTPUT clause to get the identity value?

You can either have the newly inserted ID being output to the SSMS console like this:

INSERT INTO MyTable(Name, Address, PhoneNo)
OUTPUT INSERTED.ID
VALUES ('Yatrix', '1234 Address Stuff', '1112223333')

You can use this also from e.g. C#, when you need to get the ID back to your calling app - just execute the SQL query with .ExecuteScalar() (instead of .ExecuteNonQuery()) to read the resulting ID back.

Or if you need to capture the newly inserted ID inside T-SQL (e.g. for later further processing), you need to create a table variable:

DECLARE @OutputTbl TABLE (ID INT)

INSERT INTO MyTable(Name, Address, PhoneNo)
OUTPUT INSERTED.ID INTO @OutputTbl(ID)
VALUES ('Yatrix', '1234 Address Stuff', '1112223333')

This way, you can put multiple values into @OutputTbl and do further processing on those. You could also use a "regular" temporary table (#temp) or even a "real" persistent table as your "output target" here.

How do you return a JSON object from a Java Servlet

There might be a JSON object for Java coding convenience. But at last the data structure will be serialized to string. Setting a proper MIME type would be nice.

I'd suggest JSON Java from json.org.

Running Java Program from Command Line Linux

What is the package name of your class? If there is no package name, then most likely the solution is:

What are static factory methods?

A static factory method is good when you want to ensure that only one single instance is going to return the concrete class to be used.

For example, in a database connection class, you may want to have only one class create the database connection, so that if you decide to switch from Mysql to Oracle you can just change the logic in one class, and the rest of the application will use the new connection.

If you want to implement database pooling, then that would also be done without affecting the rest of the application.

It protects the rest of the application from changes that you may make to the factory, which is the purpose.

The reason for it to be static is if you want to keep track of some limited resource (number of socket connections or file handles) then this class can keep track of how many have been passed out and returned, so you don't exhaust the limited resource.

Get Row Index on Asp.net Rowcommand event

If you have a built-in command of GridView like insert, update or delete, on row command you can use the following code to get the index:

int index = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument);

In a custom command, you can set the command argument to yourRow.RowIndex.ToString() and then get it back in the RowCommand event handler. Unless, of course, you need the command argument for another purpose.

How can I avoid getting this MySQL error Incorrect column specifier for column COLUMN NAME?

You cannot auto increment the char values. It should be int or long(integers or floating points). Try with this,

CREATE TABLE discussion_topics (
    topic_id int(5) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
    project_id char(36) NOT NULL,
    topic_subject VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
    topic_content TEXT default NULL,
    date_created DATETIME NOT NULL,
    date_last_post DATETIME NOT NULL,
    created_by_user_id char(36) NOT NULL,
    last_post_user_id char(36) NOT NULL,
    posts_count char(36) default NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY (`topic_id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=1;

How to consume a SOAP web service in Java

Here you can find a nice tutorial of how you can create and consume a SOAP service through WSDL. Long story short you need to call wsimport tool from command line (you can find it in your jdk) with parameters like -s (source for .java files) -d (destination for .class files) and the wsdl link.

$ wsimport -s "C:\workspace\soap\src\main\java\com\test\soap\ws" -d "C:\workspace\soap\target\classes\com\test\soap\ws" http://localhost:8855/soap/test?wsdl

After the stubs are created, you can call the webservices very easy something like:

TestHarnessService harnessService = new TestHarnessService();
ITestApi testApi = harnessService.getBasicHttpBindingITestApi();
testApi.resetLogMemoryTarget();

    echo "<table border='1'>\n";
    $ncols = oci_num_fields($stid);
    echo "<tr>";
    for ($i = 1; $i <= $ncols; $i++) {
            $column_name  = oci_field_name($stid, $i);
            echo "<td>$column_name</td>";
    }
    echo "</tr>";


    while ($row = oci_fetch_array($stid, OCI_ASSOC+OCI_RETURN_NULLS)) {
            echo "<tr>\n";
            foreach ($row as $item) {
                    echo "    <td>" . ($item !== null ? htmlentities($item, ENT_QUOTES) : "&nbsp;") . "</td>\n";
            }
            echo "</tr>\n";
    }
    echo "</table>\n";

What is the difference between "expose" and "publish" in Docker?

Short answer:

  • EXPOSE is a way of documenting
  • --publish (or -p) is a way of mapping a host port to a running container port

Notice below that:

  • EXPOSE is related to Dockerfiles ( documenting )
  • --publish is related to docker run ... ( execution / run-time )

Exposing and publishing ports

In Docker networking, there are two different mechanisms that directly involve network ports: exposing and publishing ports. This applies to the default bridge network and user-defined bridge networks.

  • You expose ports using the EXPOSE keyword in the Dockerfile or the --expose flag to docker run. Exposing ports is a way of documenting which ports are used, but does not actually map or open any ports. Exposing ports is optional.

  • You publish ports using the --publish or --publish-all flag to docker run. This tells Docker which ports to open on the container’s network interface. When a port is published, it is mapped to an available high-order port (higher than 30000) on the host machine, unless you specify the port to map to on the host machine at runtime. You cannot specify the port to map to on the host machine when you build the image (in the Dockerfile), because there is no way to guarantee that the port will be available on the host machine where you run the image.

from: Docker container networking

Update October 2019: the above piece of text is no longer in the docs but an archived version is here: docs.docker.com/v17.09/engine/userguide/networking/#exposing-and-publishing-ports

Maybe the current documentation is the below:

Published ports

By default, when you create a container, it does not publish any of its ports to the outside world. To make a port available to services outside of Docker, or to Docker containers which are not connected to the container's network, use the --publish or -p flag. This creates a firewall rule which maps a container port to a port on the Docker host.

and can be found here: docs.docker.com/config/containers/container-networking/#published-ports

Also,

EXPOSE

...The EXPOSE instruction does not actually publish the port. It functions as a type of documentation between the person who builds the image and the person who runs the container, about which ports are intended to be published.

from: Dockerfile reference






Service access when EXPOSE / --publish are not defined:

At @Golo Roden's answer it is stated that::

"If you do not specify any of those, the service in the container will not be accessible from anywhere except from inside the container itself."

Maybe that was the case at the time the answer was being written, but now it seems that even if you do not use EXPOSE or --publish, the host and other containers of the same network will be able to access a service you may start inside that container.

How to test this:

I've used the following Dockerfile. Basically, I start with ubuntu and install a tiny web-server:

FROM ubuntu
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y mini-httpd

I build the image as "testexpose" and run a new container with:

docker run --rm -it testexpose bash

Inside the container, I launch a few instances of mini-httpd:

root@fb8f7dd1322d:/# mini_httpd -p 80
root@fb8f7dd1322d:/# mini_httpd -p 8080
root@fb8f7dd1322d:/# mini_httpd -p 8090

I am then able to use curl from the host or other containers to fetch the home page of mini-httpd.

Is there an "exists" function for jQuery?

The reason all of the previous answers require the .length parameter is that they are mostly using jquery's $() selector which has querySelectorAll behind the curtains (or they are using it directly). This method is rather slow because it needs to parse the entire DOM tree looking for all matches to that selector and populating an array with them.

The ['length'] parameter is not needed or useful and the code will be a lot faster if you directly use document.querySelector(selector) instead, because it returns the first element it matches or null if not found.

function elementIfExists(selector){  //named this way on purpose, see below
    return document.querySelector(selector);
}
/* usage: */
var myelement = elementIfExists("#myid") || myfallbackelement;

However this method leaves us with the actual object being returned; which is fine if it isn't going to be saved as variable and used repeatedly (thus keeping the reference around if we forget).

var myel=elementIfExists("#myid");
// now we are using a reference to the element which will linger after removal
myel.getParentNode.removeChild(myel);
console.log(elementIfExists("#myid")); /* null */
console.log(myel); /* giant table lingering around detached from document */
myel=null; /* now it can be garbage collected */

In some cases this may be desired. It can be used in a for loop like this:

/* locally scoped myel gets garbage collected even with the break; */
for (var myel; myel = elementIfExist(sel); myel.getParentNode.removeChild(myel))
    if (myel == myblacklistedel) break;

If you don't actually need the element and want to get/store just a true/false, just double not it !! It works for shoes that come untied, so why knot here?

function elementExists(selector){
    return !!document.querySelector(selector);
}
/* usage: */
var hastables = elementExists("table");  /* will be true or false */
if (hastables){
    /* insert css style sheet for our pretty tables */
}
setTimeOut(function (){if (hastables && !elementExists("#mytablecss"))
                           alert("bad table layouts");},3000);

Common sources of unterminated string literal

Maybe it's because you have a line break in your PHP code. If you need line breaks in your alert window message, include it as an escaped syntax at the end of each line in your PHP code. I usually do it the following way:

$message = 'line 1.\\n';
$message .= 'line 2.';

What are the ascii values of up down left right?

Really the answer to this question depends on what operating system and programming language you are using. There is no "ASCII code" per se. The operating system detects you hit an arrow key and triggers an event that programs can capture. For example, on modern Windows machines, you would get a WM_KEYUP or WM_KEYDOWN event. It passes a 16-bit value usually to determine which key was pushed.

How do I get the browser scroll position in jQuery?

Since it appears you are using jQuery, here is a jQuery solution.

$(function() {
    $('#Eframe').on("mousewheel", function() {
        alert($(document).scrollTop());
    });
});

Not much to explain here. If you want, here is the jQuery documentation.

Delete duplicate records from a SQL table without a primary key

It is very simple. I tried in SQL Server 2008

DELETE SUB FROM
(SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY EmpId, EmpName, EmpSSN ORDER BY EmpId) cnt
 FROM Employee) SUB
WHERE SUB.cnt > 1

jQuery scroll to ID from different page

Combining answers by Petr and Sarfraz, I arrive at the following.

On page1.html:

<a href="page2.html#elementID">Jump</a>

On page2.html:

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $('html, body').hide();

        if (window.location.hash) {
            setTimeout(function() {
                $('html, body').scrollTop(0).show();
                $('html, body').animate({
                    scrollTop: $(window.location.hash).offset().top
                    }, 1000)
            }, 0);
        }
        else {
            $('html, body').show();
        }
    });
</script>

How to get form input array into PHP array

However, VolkerK's solution is the best to avoid miss couple between email and username. So you have to generate HTML code with PHP like this:

<? foreach ($i = 0; $i < $total_data; $i++) : ?>
    <input type="text" name="name[<?= $i ?>]" />
    <input type="text" name="email[<?= $i ?>]" />
<? endforeach; ?>

Change $total_data to suit your needs. To show it, just like this:

$output = array_map(create_function('$name, $email', 'return "The name is $name and email is $email, thank you.";'), $_POST['name'], $_POST['email']);
echo implode('<br>', $output);

Assuming the data was sent using POST method.

PDO's query vs execute

Gilean's answer is great, but I just wanted to add that sometimes there are rare exceptions to best practices, and you might want to test your environment both ways to see what will work best.

In one case, I found that query worked faster for my purposes because I was bulk transferring trusted data from an Ubuntu Linux box running PHP7 with the poorly supported Microsoft ODBC driver for MS SQL Server.

I arrived at this question because I had a long running script for an ETL that I was trying to squeeze for speed. It seemed intuitive to me that query could be faster than prepare & execute because it was calling only one function instead of two. The parameter binding operation provides excellent protection, but it might be expensive and possibly avoided if unnecessary.

Given a couple rare conditions:

  1. If you can't reuse a prepared statement because it's not supported by the Microsoft ODBC driver.

  2. If you're not worried about sanitizing input and simple escaping is acceptable. This may be the case because binding certain datatypes isn't supported by the Microsoft ODBC driver.

  3. PDO::lastInsertId is not supported by the Microsoft ODBC driver.

Here's a method I used to test my environment, and hopefully you can replicate it or something better in yours:

To start, I've created a basic table in Microsoft SQL Server

CREATE TABLE performancetest (
    sid INT IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY,
    id INT,
    val VARCHAR(100)
);

And now a basic timed test for performance metrics.

$logs = [];

$test = function (String $type, Int $count = 3000) use ($pdo, &$logs) {
    $start = microtime(true);
    $i = 0;
    while ($i < $count) {
        $sql = "INSERT INTO performancetest (id, val) OUTPUT INSERTED.sid VALUES ($i,'value $i')";
        if ($type === 'query') {
            $smt = $pdo->query($sql);
        } else {
            $smt = $pdo->prepare($sql);
            $smt ->execute();
        }
        $sid = $smt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)['sid'];
        $i++;
    }
    $total = (microtime(true) - $start);
    $logs[$type] []= $total;
    echo "$total $type\n";
};

$trials = 15;
$i = 0;
while ($i < $trials) {
    if (random_int(0,1) === 0) {
        $test('query');
    } else {
        $test('prepare');
    }
    $i++;
}

foreach ($logs as $type => $log) {
    $total = 0;
    foreach ($log as $record) {
        $total += $record;
    }
    $count = count($log);
    echo "($count) $type Average: ".$total/$count.PHP_EOL;
}

I've played with multiple different trial and counts in my specific environment, and consistently get between 20-30% faster results with query than prepare/execute

5.8128969669342 prepare
5.8688418865204 prepare
4.2948560714722 query
4.9533629417419 query
5.9051351547241 prepare
4.332102060318 query
5.9672858715057 prepare
5.0667371749878 query
3.8260300159454 query
4.0791549682617 query
4.3775160312653 query
3.6910600662231 query
5.2708210945129 prepare
6.2671611309052 prepare
7.3791449069977 prepare
(7) prepare Average: 6.0673267160143
(8) query Average: 4.3276024162769

I'm curious to see how this test compares in other environments, like MySQL.

jQuery UI Color Picker

That is because you are trying to access the plugin before it's loaded. You should try making a call to it when the DOM is loaded by surrounding it with this:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#colorpicker").colorpicker();
}

Internet Explorer 11 disable "display intranet sites in compatibility view" via meta tag not working

This is an old problem with some good information. But what I just found is that using a FQDN turns off the Compat mode in IE 9 - 11. Example. I have the compat problem with
http://lrmstst01:8080/JavaWeb/login.do
but the problems go away with
http://lrmstst01.mydomain.int:8080/JavaWeb/login.do
NB: The .int is part of our internal domain

Good way of getting the user's location in Android

Looks like we're coding the same application ;-)
Here is my current implementation. I'm still in the beta testing phase of my GPS uploader app, so there might be many possible improvements. but it seems to work pretty well so far.

/**
 * try to get the 'best' location selected from all providers
 */
private Location getBestLocation() {
    Location gpslocation = getLocationByProvider(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
    Location networkLocation =
            getLocationByProvider(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
    // if we have only one location available, the choice is easy
    if (gpslocation == null) {
        Log.d(TAG, "No GPS Location available.");
        return networkLocation;
    }
    if (networkLocation == null) {
        Log.d(TAG, "No Network Location available");
        return gpslocation;
    }
    // a locationupdate is considered 'old' if its older than the configured
    // update interval. this means, we didn't get a
    // update from this provider since the last check
    long old = System.currentTimeMillis() - getGPSCheckMilliSecsFromPrefs();
    boolean gpsIsOld = (gpslocation.getTime() < old);
    boolean networkIsOld = (networkLocation.getTime() < old);
    // gps is current and available, gps is better than network
    if (!gpsIsOld) {
        Log.d(TAG, "Returning current GPS Location");
        return gpslocation;
    }
    // gps is old, we can't trust it. use network location
    if (!networkIsOld) {
        Log.d(TAG, "GPS is old, Network is current, returning network");
        return networkLocation;
    }
    // both are old return the newer of those two
    if (gpslocation.getTime() > networkLocation.getTime()) {
        Log.d(TAG, "Both are old, returning gps(newer)");
        return gpslocation;
    } else {
        Log.d(TAG, "Both are old, returning network(newer)");
        return networkLocation;
    }
}

/**
 * get the last known location from a specific provider (network/gps)
 */
private Location getLocationByProvider(String provider) {
    Location location = null;
    if (!isProviderSupported(provider)) {
        return null;
    }
    LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) getApplicationContext()
            .getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
    try {

            location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider);
        }
    } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
        Log.d(TAG, "Cannot acces Provider " + provider);
    }
    return location;
}

Edit: here is the part that requests the periodic updates from the location providers:

public void startRecording() {
    gpsTimer.cancel();
    gpsTimer = new Timer();
    long checkInterval = getGPSCheckMilliSecsFromPrefs();
    long minDistance = getMinDistanceFromPrefs();
    // receive updates
    LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) getApplicationContext()
            .getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
    for (String s : locationManager.getAllProviders()) {
        locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(s, checkInterval,
                minDistance, new LocationListener() {

                    @Override
                    public void onStatusChanged(String provider,
                            int status, Bundle extras) {}

                    @Override
                    public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {}

                    @Override
                    public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {}

                    @Override
                    public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
                        // if this is a gps location, we can use it
                        if (location.getProvider().equals(
                                LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER)) {
                            doLocationUpdate(location, true);
                        }
                    }
                });
        // //Toast.makeText(this, "GPS Service STARTED",
        // Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        gps_recorder_running = true;
    }
    // start the gps receiver thread
    gpsTimer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask() {

        @Override
        public void run() {
            Location location = getBestLocation();
            doLocationUpdate(location, false);
        }
    }, 0, checkInterval);
}

public void doLocationUpdate(Location l, boolean force) {
    long minDistance = getMinDistanceFromPrefs();
    Log.d(TAG, "update received:" + l);
    if (l == null) {
        Log.d(TAG, "Empty location");
        if (force)
            Toast.makeText(this, "Current location not available",
                    Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        return;
    }
    if (lastLocation != null) {
        float distance = l.distanceTo(lastLocation);
        Log.d(TAG, "Distance to last: " + distance);
        if (l.distanceTo(lastLocation) < minDistance && !force) {
            Log.d(TAG, "Position didn't change");
            return;
        }
        if (l.getAccuracy() >= lastLocation.getAccuracy()
                && l.distanceTo(lastLocation) < l.getAccuracy() && !force) {
            Log.d(TAG,
                    "Accuracy got worse and we are still "
                      + "within the accuracy range.. Not updating");
            return;
        }
        if (l.getTime() <= lastprovidertimestamp && !force) {
            Log.d(TAG, "Timestamp not never than last");
            return;
        }
    }
    // upload/store your location here
}

Things to consider:

  • do not request GPS updates too often, it drains battery power. I currently use 30 min as default for my application.

  • add a 'minimum distance to last known location' check. without this, your points will "jump around" when GPS is not available and the location is being triangulated from the cell towers. or you can check if the new location is outside of the accuracy value from the last known location.

Update Eclipse with Android development tools v. 23

After trying the approaches in other answers without success, I just installed a new bundle from http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/index.html?pkg=adt and that worked fine.

Do the following:

  1. As you don't want to re-download all the platforms again, copy the existing one from /OLD_ANDROID_SDK_PATH/sdk/platforms to /NEW_ANDROID_SDK_PATH/sdk/platforms.
  2. When opening the new Eclipse from the recent downloaded bundle, make sure you reuse the previous 'workspace' folder. That will ensure that all your previous settings will be remembered.
  3. After opening the new Eclipse on the previous workspace, please check if the used Android SDK is pointing to the new one (Eclipse preferences -> Android). It might be pointing to the old one, as you've reused the previews workspace settings.

With these steps, you should't have to reconfigure everything, and you won't need to spend time troubleshooting this BUG on this upgrade from Google Developers.

Good luck! ;-)

How can I sort a dictionary by key?

There is an easy way to sort a dictionary.

According to your question,

The solution is :

c={2:3, 1:89, 4:5, 3:0}
y=sorted(c.items())
print y

(Where c,is the name of your dictionary.)

This program gives the following output:

[(1, 89), (2, 3), (3, 0), (4, 5)]

like u wanted.

Another example is:

d={"John":36,"Lucy":24,"Albert":32,"Peter":18,"Bill":41}
x=sorted(d.keys())
print x

Gives the output:['Albert', 'Bill', 'John', 'Lucy', 'Peter']

y=sorted(d.values())
print y

Gives the output:[18, 24, 32, 36, 41]

z=sorted(d.items())
print z

Gives the output:

[('Albert', 32), ('Bill', 41), ('John', 36), ('Lucy', 24), ('Peter', 18)]

Hence by changing it into keys, values and items , you can print like what u wanted.Hope this helps!

(Excel) Conditional Formatting based on Adjacent Cell Value

I don't know if maybe it's a difference in Excel version but this question is 6 years old and the accepted answer didn't help me so this is what I figured out:

Under Conditional Formatting > Manage Rules:

  1. Make a new rule with "Use a formula to determine which cells to format"
  2. Make your rule, but put a dollar sign only in front of the letter: $A2<$B2
  3. Under "Applies to", Manually select the second column (It would not work for me if I changed the value in the box, it just kept snapping back to what was already there), so it looks like $B$2:$B$100 (assuming you have 100 rows)

This worked for me in Excel 2016.

Get current directory name (without full path) in a Bash script

If you want to see only the current directory in the bash prompt region, you can edit .bashrc file in ~. Change \w to \W in the line:

PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ '

Run source ~/.bashrc and it will only display the directory name in the prompt region.

How do I get the full path to a Perl script that is executing?

There's no need to use external modules, with just one line you can have the file name and relative path. If you are using modules and need to apply a path relative to the script directory, the relative path is enough.

$0 =~ m/(.+)[\/\\](.+)$/;
print "full path: $1, file name: $2\n";

Android button onClickListener

Use OnClicklistener or you can use android:onClick="myMethod" in your button's xml code from which you going to open a new layout. So when that button is clicked your myMethod function will be called automatically. Your myMethod function in class look like this.

public void myMethod(View v) {
Intent intent=new Intent(context,SecondActivty.class);
startActivity(intent);
}

And in that SecondActivity.class set new layout in contentview.

What is the most efficient/elegant way to parse a flat table into a tree?

If nested hash maps or arrays can be created, then I can simply go down the table from the beginning and add each item to the nested array. I must trace each line to the root node in order to know which level in the nested array to insert into. I can employ memoization so that I do not need to look up the same parent over and over again.

Edit: I would read the entire table into an array first, so it will not query the DB repeatedly. Of course this won't be practical if your table is very large.

After the structure is built, I must do a depth first traverse through it and print out the HTML.

There's no better fundamental way to store this information using one table (I could be wrong though ;), and would love to see a better solution ). However, if you create a scheme to employ dynamically created db tables, then you opened up a whole new world at the sacrifice of simplicity, and the risk of SQL hell ;).

How to get a jqGrid cell value when editing

Basically, you have to save the row before you access the cell contents.

If you do, then you get the value for the cell instead of the markup that comes when the cell is in edit mode.

jQuery.each(selectedRows, function(index, foodId) {
            // save the row on the grid in 'client array', I.E. without a server post
            $("#favoritesTable").saveRow(foodId, false, 'clientArray'); 

            // longhand, get grid row based on the id
            var gridRow = $("#favoritesTable").getRowData(foodId);

            // reference the value from the editable cell
            foodData += foodId + ":" + gridRow['ServingsConsumed'] + ',';
        });

If my interface must return Task what is the best way to have a no-operation implementation?

To add to Reed Copsey's answer about using Task.FromResult, you can improve performance even more if you cache the already completed task since all instances of completed tasks are the same:

public static class TaskExtensions
{
    public static readonly Task CompletedTask = Task.FromResult(false);
}

With TaskExtensions.CompletedTask you can use the same instance throughout the entire app domain.


The latest version of the .Net Framework (v4.6) adds just that with the Task.CompletedTask static property

Task completedTask = Task.CompletedTask;

Best way to check for "empty or null value"

In ran into a kind of similar case, were I had to do this . My Table definition look like :

id(bigint)|name (character varying)|results(character varying)
1 | "Peters"| [{"jk1":"jv1"},{"jk1":"jv2"}]
2 | "Russel"| null

To filter out the results column with null or empty in it , what worked was :

SELECT * FROM tablename where results NOT IN  ('null','{}'); 

This returned all rows which are not null on results.

I'm not sure how to fix this query to return the same all rows which are not null on results.

SELECT * FROM tablename where results is not null; 

--- hmm what am I missing,casting ? any inputs?

Can you change what a symlink points to after it is created?

It is not necessary to explicitly unlink the old symlink. You can do this:

ln -s newtarget temp
mv temp mylink

(or use the equivalent symlink and rename calls). This is better than explicitly unlinking because rename is atomic, so you can be assured that the link will always point to either the old or new target. However this will not reuse the original inode.

On some filesystems, the target of the symlink is stored in the inode itself (in place of the block list) if it is short enough; this is determined at the time it is created.

Regarding the assertion that the actual owner and group are immaterial, symlink(7) on Linux says that there is a case where it is significant:

The owner and group of an existing symbolic link can be changed using lchown(2). The only time that the ownership of a symbolic link matters is when the link is being removed or renamed in a directory that has the sticky bit set (see stat(2)).

The last access and last modification timestamps of a symbolic link can be changed using utimensat(2) or lutimes(3).

On Linux, the permissions of a symbolic link are not used in any operations; the permissions are always 0777 (read, write, and execute for all user categories), and can't be changed.

Run PHP Task Asynchronously

If it just a question of providing expensive tasks, in case of php-fpm is supported, why not to use fastcgi_finish_request() function?

This function flushes all response data to the client and finishes the request. This allows for time consuming tasks to be performed without leaving the connection to the client open.

You don't really use asynchronicity in this way:

  1. Make all your main code first.
  2. Execute fastcgi_finish_request().
  3. Make all heavy stuff.

Once again php-fpm is needed.

Prevent double submission of forms in jQuery

Modified Nathan's solution a little for Bootstrap 3. This will set a loading text to the submit button. In addition it will timeout after 30 seconds and allow the form to be resubmitted.

jQuery.fn.preventDoubleSubmission = function() {
  $('input[type="submit"]').data('loading-text', 'Loading...');

  $(this).on('submit',function(e){
    var $form = $(this);

    $('input[type="submit"]', $form).button('loading');

    if ($form.data('submitted') === true) {
      // Previously submitted - don't submit again
      e.preventDefault();
    } else {
      // Mark it so that the next submit can be ignored
      $form.data('submitted', true);
      $form.setFormTimeout();
    }
  });

  // Keep chainability
  return this;
};

jQuery.fn.setFormTimeout = function() {
  var $form = $(this);
  setTimeout(function() {
    $('input[type="submit"]', $form).button('reset');
    alert('Form failed to submit within 30 seconds');
  }, 30000);
};

Where should my npm modules be installed on Mac OS X?

If you want to know the location of you NPM packages, you should:

which npm // locate a program file in the user's path SEE man which
// OUTPUT SAMPLE
/usr/local/bin/npm
la /usr/local/bin/npm // la: aliased to ls -lAh SEE which la THEN man ls
lrwxr-xr-x  1 t04435  admin    46B 18 Sep 10:37 /usr/local/bin/npm -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npm-cli.js

So given that npm is a NODE package itself, it is installed in the same location as other packages(EUREKA). So to confirm you should cd into node_modules and list the directory.

cd /usr/local/lib/node_modules/
ls
#SAMPLE OUTPUT
@angular npm .... all global npm packages installed

OR

npm root -g

React Native android build failed. SDK location not found

Fixing SDK Path Errors on Linux Distributions


Your project is not finding the SDK set in the Project Settings via the path provided, so the project needs to be pointing in the right direction, and you have a couple options to accomplish this, but let's start by finding the correct SDK folder first.


Finding your SDK


From Package Manager


If you are using a package-based JRE install like Java 8 JRE via a the custom PPA in a Debian-based distribution, or used OpenJDK, the directory will most likely be /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle (or whatever version you have chosen). You can find this path set in the JAVA_HOME environment variable:

$ echo $JAVA_HOME
 /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle

Manual Download


If you have installed via the Java JRE/SDK download, it will be wherever you placed the folder, e.g. /home/username/jdk-8u121_1.8.0 (or something similar).

Scripted installs may even add the SDK to /opt/java-8-oracle, but as of this writing, the Java Install instructions leave the folder placement in your hands.


Android Studio 2.2


Lastly if you are using Android Studio, the SDK is placed where you have set it to place the SDK files downloaded through the Studio's SDK Manager. By going to File > Settings > Appearance & Behavior > System Settings > Android SDK, you can find the SDK location setting at the top with the option to change, and the default folder being ~/Android/Sdk.

Android Studio SDK Path

Setting the SDK Path

Now that we know where the SDK is, it is time to let react-native know.


Option 1: Set with local.properties


This method is very simple, and all that is needed is creating the file local.properties in the following folder, where Project_Folder is the base of your React-Native application:

Project_Folder/Android/App

In your local.properties, you want to set the variable sdk.dir to the path of your SDK folder:

sdk.dir=/home/username/Android/Sdk

While this is the easiest way to remedy the issue, it is not the best, especially if you work with multiple projects. For every project, you will have to create this file for every project, and if the folder changes plan on changing this file for each project's local.properties.

Once the file is saved, rerun the react-native run-android command.


Option 2: Settings Folders with Environment Variables


The other option is to set the SDK folders to the local environment variables that React-Native looks for by default. To do so, we will add the ANDROID_HOME path. As a bonus we can also add our android tools in the same place. We need to add this to rather the .bash_profile or .profile files in our home directory, which are loaded last, so we can make sure that nothing else is overriding the settings we make. Since these are in your home directory, there is no need to edit with escalated privileges.

**$ vim ~/.profile**  (use nano or pico if you prefer)

In the file add the following lines replacing the SDK folder with the one you found above. I will be using the Android Studio folder as an example:

export ANDROID_HOME="~/Android/Sdk"
export PATH=$PATH:~/Android/Sdk/tools:~/Android/Sdk/platform-tools

Save the file, then apply the profile settings:

$ source ~/.profile
$ echo $ANDROID_HOME
/home/dbrown/Android/Sdk

If the Sdk folder shows correctly, congratulations! Re-run your react-native command, and watch the app build process continue forward.


If you still have issues


If for some reason you receive the error "> failed to find target with hash string 'android-23' in: your/sdk/folder, you need to make sure that the project's build version and the version of the SDK installed match (React-Native defaults to 23.0.1). You can find the default version in Project_Folder/android/app/build.gradle, and then searching for buildToolsVersion. You can of course change the version from this file, or in Android Studio go to File > Project Structure to change the Project SDK. I would not suggest changing this version unless you absolutely know what you are doing, otherwise install the SDK version the project is looking for.

How to draw polygons on an HTML5 canvas?

//create and fill polygon
CanvasRenderingContext2D.prototype.fillPolygon = function (pointsArray, fillColor,     strokeColor) {
    if (pointsArray.length <= 0) return;
    this.moveTo(pointsArray[0][0], pointsArray[0][1]);
    for (var i = 0; i < pointsArray.length; i++) {
        this.lineTo(pointsArray[i][0], pointsArray[i][1]);
    }
    if (strokeColor != null && strokeColor != undefined)
        this.strokeStyle = strokeColor;

    if (fillColor != null && fillColor != undefined) {
        this.fillStyle = fillColor;
        this.fill();
    }
}
//And you can use this method as 
var polygonPoints = [[10,100],[20,75],[50,100],[100,100],[10,100]];
context.fillPolygon(polygonPoints, '#F00','#000');

pandas GroupBy columns with NaN (missing) values

I answered this already, but some reason the answer was converted to a comment. Nevertheless, this is the most efficient solution:

Not being able to include (and propagate) NaNs in groups is quite aggravating. Citing R is not convincing, as this behavior is not consistent with a lot of other things. Anyway, the dummy hack is also pretty bad. However, the size (includes NaNs) and the count (ignores NaNs) of a group will differ if there are NaNs.

dfgrouped = df.groupby(['b']).a.agg(['sum','size','count'])

dfgrouped['sum'][dfgrouped['size']!=dfgrouped['count']] = None

When these differ, you can set the value back to None for the result of the aggregation function for that group.

Cordova : Requirements check failed for JDK 1.8 or greater

MacOS answer with multiple Java versions installed and no need to uninstall

Show me what versions of Java I have installed :

$ ls -l /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/

To set it to my jdk1.8 version :

$ ln -s /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_261.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/javac /usr/local/bin/javac

To set it to my jdk11 version :

$ ln -s /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-11.0.7.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/javac /usr/local/bin/javac

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note that, despite what the message says, it appears that it means that it wants version 1.8, and throws this message if you have a later version.

What follows is my earlier attempts which lead me to the above answer, which then worked ... You might need to do something different depending on what's installed, so maybe these notes might help :


Set it to my jdk1.8 version

$ export PATH=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-11.0.7.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/javac:$PATH

Set it to my jdk11 version

$ export PATH=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_261.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/javac:$PATH

... but actually that doesn't work because /usr/bin/javac is still what runs first :

$ which javac
/usr/bin/javac

... to see what runs first on the path :

$ cat /etc/paths
/usr/local/bin
/usr/bin
/bin
/usr/sbin
/sbin

That means I can override the /usr/bin/javac ... see the commands at the top of the answer ...
The command to set it to jdk1.8 using ln, at the top of this answer, is what worked for me.

keypress, ctrl+c (or some combo like that)

You cannot use Ctrl+C by jQuery , but you can with another library which is shortcut.js

Live Demo : Abdennour JSFiddle

$(document).ready(function() {
shortcut.add("Ctrl+C", function() {
    $('span').html("?????. ??? ???? ??? ???? : Ctrl+C");
        });
    shortcut.add("Ctrl+V", function() {
    $('span').html("?????. ??? ???? ??? ???? : Ctrl+V");
        });
       shortcut.add("Ctrl+X", function() {
    $('span').html("?????. ??? ???? ??? ???? : Ctrl+X");
        });


});

Jquery change background color

This is how it should be:

Code:

$(function(){
  $("button").mouseover(function(){
    var $p = $("#P44");
    $p.stop()
      .css("background-color","yellow")
      .hide(1500, function() {
          $p.css("background-color","red")
            .show(1500);
      });
  });
});

Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/p7w9W/2/

Explanation:

You have to wait for the callback on the animating functions before you switch background color. You should also not use only numeric ID:s, and if you have an ID of your <p> there you shouldn't include a class in your selector.

I also enhanced your code (caching of the jQuery object, chaining, etc.)

Update: As suggested by VKolev the color is now changing when the item is hidden.

How can I profile C++ code running on Linux?

These are the two methods I use for speeding up my code:

For CPU bound applications:

  1. Use a profiler in DEBUG mode to identify questionable parts of your code
  2. Then switch to RELEASE mode and comment out the questionable sections of your code (stub it with nothing) until you see changes in performance.

For I/O bound applications:

  1. Use a profiler in RELEASE mode to identify questionable parts of your code.

N.B.

If you don't have a profiler, use the poor man's profiler. Hit pause while debugging your application. Most developer suites will break into assembly with commented line numbers. You're statistically likely to land in a region that is eating most of your CPU cycles.

For CPU, the reason for profiling in DEBUG mode is because if your tried profiling in RELEASE mode, the compiler is going to reduce math, vectorize loops, and inline functions which tends to glob your code into an un-mappable mess when it's assembled. An un-mappable mess means your profiler will not be able to clearly identify what is taking so long because the assembly may not correspond to the source code under optimization. If you need the performance (e.g. timing sensitive) of RELEASE mode, disable debugger features as needed to keep a usable performance.

For I/O-bound, the profiler can still identify I/O operations in RELEASE mode because I/O operations are either externally linked to a shared library (most of the time) or in the worst case, will result in a sys-call interrupt vector (which is also easily identifiable by the profiler).

Ajax success function

The answer given above can't solve my problem.So I change async into false to get the alert message.

jQuery.ajax({
            type:"post",
            dataType:"json",
            async: false,
            url: myAjax.ajaxurl,
            data: {action: 'submit_data', info: info},
            success: function(data) {
                alert("Data was succesfully captured");
            },
        });

How can I replace the deprecated set_magic_quotes_runtime in php?

Update this function :

if (version_compare(PHP_VERSION, '5.3.0', '<')) {
  set_magic_quotes_runtime(0);
}
else {
  ini_set('magic_quotes_runtime', 0);
}
$magic_quotes = get_magic_quotes_runtime();
$file_buffer = fread($fd, filesize($path));
$file_buffer = $this->EncodeString($file_buffer, $encoding);
fclose($fd);
if ($magic_quotes) {
  if (version_compare(PHP_VERSION, '5.3.0', '<')) {
    set_magic_quotes_runtime($magic_quotes);
  }
  else {
    ini_set('magic_quotes_runtime', $magic_quotes);
  }
}

return $file_buffer;

How to sign an android apk file

Here is a guide on how to manually sign an APK. It includes info about the new apk-signer introduced in build-tools 24.0.3 (10/2016)

Automated Process:

Use this tool (uses the new apksigner from Google):

https://github.com/patrickfav/uber-apk-signer

Disclaimer: Im the developer :)

Manual Process:

Step 1: Generate Keystore (only once)

You need to generate a keystore once and use it to sign your unsigned apk. Use the keytool provided by the JDK found in %JAVA_HOME%/bin/

keytool -genkey -v -keystore my.keystore -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000 -alias app

Step 2 or 4: Zipalign

zipalign which is a tool provided by the Android SDK found in e.g. %ANDROID_HOME%/sdk/build-tools/24.0.2/ is a mandatory optimzation step if you want to upload the apk to the Play Store.

zipalign -p 4 my.apk my-aligned.apk

Note: when using the old jarsigner you need to zipalign AFTER signing. When using the new apksigner method you do it BEFORE signing (confusing, I know). Invoking zipalign before apksigner works fine because apksigner preserves APK alignment and compression (unlike jarsigner).

You can verify the alignment with

zipalign -c 4 my-aligned.apk

Step 3: Sign & Verify

Using build-tools 24.0.2 and older

Use jarsigner which, like the keytool, comes with the JDK distribution found in %JAVA_HOME%/bin/ and use it like so:

jarsigner -verbose -sigalg SHA1withRSA -digestalg SHA1 -keystore my.keystore my-app.apk my_alias_name

and can be verified with

jarsigner -verify -verbose my_application.apk

Using build-tools 24.0.3 and newer

Android 7.0 introduces APK Signature Scheme v2, a new app-signing scheme that offers faster app install times and more protection against unauthorized alterations to APK files (See here and here for more details). Threfore Google implemented their own apk signer called apksigner (duh!) The script file can be found in %ANDROID_HOME%/sdk/build-tools/24.0.3/ (the .jar is in the /lib subfolder). Use it like this

apksigner sign --ks my.keystore my-app.apk --ks-key-alias alias_name

and can be verified with

apksigner verify my-app.apk

The official documentation can be found here.

What is the best way to find the users home directory in Java?

I would use the algorithm detailed in the bug report using System.getenv(String), and fallback to using the user.dir property if none of the environment variables indicated a valid existing directory. This should work cross-platform.

I think, under Windows, what you are really after is the user's notional "documents" directory.

Excel plot time series frequency with continuous xaxis

You can get good Time Series graphs in Excel, the way you want, but you have to work with a few quirks.

  1. Be sure to select "Scatter Graph" (with a line option). This is needed if you have non-uniform time stamps, and will scale the X-axis accordingly.

  2. In your data, you need to add a column with the mid-point. Here's what I did with your sample data. (This trick ensures that the data gets plotted at the mid-point, like you desire.) enter image description here

  3. You can format the x-axis options with this menu. (Chart->Design->Layout) enter image description here

  4. Select "Axes" and go to Primary Horizontal Axis, and then select "More Primary Horizontal Axis Options"

  5. Set up the options you wish. (Fix the starting and ending points.) enter image description here

  6. And you will get a graph such as the one below. enter image description here

You can then tweak many of the options, label the axes better etc, but this should get you started.

Hope this helps you move forward.

Hibernate - A collection with cascade=”all-delete-orphan” was no longer referenced by the owning entity instance

I had the same issue, but it was when the set was null. Only in the Set collection, in List work fine. You can try to the hibernate annotation @LazyCollection(LazyCollectionOption.FALSE) instead of JPA annotation fetch = FetchType.EAGER.

My solution: This is my configuration and work fine

@OneToMany(mappedBy = "format", cascade = CascadeType.ALL, orphanRemoval = true)
@LazyCollection(LazyCollectionOption.FALSE)
private Set<Barcode> barcodes;

@OneToMany(mappedBy = "format", cascade = CascadeType.ALL, orphanRemoval = true)
@LazyCollection(LazyCollectionOption.FALSE)
private List<FormatAdditional> additionals;

R * not meaningful for factors ERROR

new[,2] is a factor, not a numeric vector. Transform it first

new$MY_NEW_COLUMN <-as.numeric(as.character(new[,2])) * 5

Why does one use dependency injection?

Quite frankly, I believe people use these Dependency Injection libraries/frameworks because they just know how to do things in runtime, as opposed to load time. All this crazy machinery can be substituted by setting your CLASSPATH environment variable (or other language equivalent, like PYTHONPATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH) to point to your alternative implementations (all with the same name) of a particular class. So in the accepted answer you'd just leave your code like

var logger = new Logger() //sane, simple code

And the appropriate logger will be instantiated because the JVM (or whatever other runtime or .so loader you have) would fetch it from the class configured via the environment variable mentioned above.

No need to make everything an interface, no need to have the insanity of spawning broken objects to have stuff injected into them, no need to have insane constructors with every piece of internal machinery exposed to the world. Just use the native functionality of whatever language you're using instead of coming up with dialects that won't work in any other project.

P.S.: This is also true for testing/mocking. You can very well just set your environment to load the appropriate mock class, in load time, and skip the mocking framework madness.

How to manually reload Google Map with JavaScript

Redirecting to authentication dialog - "An error occurred. Please try again later"

I know u may got the answer but this is for those who are still going down the thread for getting the solution.

U can try all the above solutions but just remember that delete the Previous app from the device or simulator before checking another solution.

I tried all solutions but getting no response as i was not deleting the previous app, only cleaning the build does not satisfy the condition.Hope it helps someone. :)

Calling Javascript from a html form

In this bit of code:

getRadioButtonValue(this["whichThing"]))

you're not actually getting a reference to anything. Therefore, your radiobutton in the getradiobuttonvalue function is undefined and throwing an error.

EDIT To get the value out of the radio buttons, grab the JQuery library, and then use this:

  $('input[name=whichThing]:checked').val() 

Edit 2 Due to the desire to reinvent the wheel, here's non-Jquery code:

var t = '';
for (i=0; i<document.myform.whichThing.length; i++) {
     if (document.myform.whichThing[i].checked==true) {
         t = t + document.myform.whichThing[i].value;
     }
}

or, basically, modify the original line of code to read thusly:

getRadioButtonValue(document.myform.whichThing))

Edit 3 Here's your homework:

      function handleClick() {
        alert("Favorite weird creature: " + getRadioButtonValue(document.aye.whichThing));
        //event.preventDefault(); // disable normal form submit behavior
        return false; // prevent further bubbling of event
      }
    </script>
  </head>
<body>
<form name="aye" onSubmit="return handleClick()">
     <input name="Submit"  type="submit" value="Update" />
     Which of the following do you like best?
     <p><input type="radio" name="whichThing" value="slithy toves" />Slithy toves</p>
     <p><input type="radio" name="whichThing" value="borogoves" />Borogoves</p>
     <p><input type="radio" name="whichThing" value="mome raths" />Mome raths</p>
</form>

Notice the following, I've moved the function call to the Form's "onSubmit" event. An alternative would be to change your SUBMIT button to a standard button, and put it in the OnClick event for the button. I also removed the unneeded "JavaScript" in front of the function name, and added an explicit RETURN on the value coming out of the function.

In the function itself, I modified the how the form was being accessed. The structure is: document.[THE FORM NAME].[THE CONTROL NAME] to get at things. Since you renamed your from aye, you had to change the document.myform. to document.aye. Additionally, the document.aye["whichThing"] is just wrong in this context, as it needed to be document.aye.whichThing.

The final bit, was I commented out the event.preventDefault();. that line was not needed for this sample.

EDIT 4 Just to be clear. document.aye["whichThing"] will provide you direct access to the selected value, but document.aye.whichThing gets you access to the collection of radio buttons which you then need to check. Since you're using the "getRadioButtonValue(object)" function to iterate through the collection, you need to use document.aye.whichThing.

See the difference in this method:

function handleClick() {
   alert("Direct Access: " + document.aye["whichThing"]);
   alert("Favorite weird creature: " + getRadioButtonValue(document.aye.whichThing));
   return false; // prevent further bubbling of event
}

Current user in Magento?

You can get current login customer name from session in following way :

$customer = Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getCustomer();

This will return the customer details of current login customer.

Now you can get customer name by using getName()

echo $customer->getName();

SSIS how to set connection string dynamically from a config file

First add a variable to your SSIS package (Package Scope) - I used FileName, OleRootFilePath, OleProperties, OleProvider. The type for each variable is "string". Then I create a Configuration file (Select each variable - value) - populate the values in the configuration file - Eg: for OleProperties - Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0; for OleProperties - Excel 8.0;HDR=, OleRootFilePath - Your Excel file path, FileName - FileName

In the Connection manager - I then set the Properties-> Expressions-> Connection string expression dynamically eg:

"Provider=" + @[User::OleProvider] + "Data Source=" + @[User::OleRootFilePath]
+ @[User::FileName]  + ";Extended Properties=\"" + @[User::OleProperties] + "NO \""+";"

This way once you set the variables values and change it in your configuration file - the connection string will change dynamically - this helps especially in moving from development to production environments.

Creating the Singleton design pattern in PHP5

/**
 * Singleton class
 *
 */
final class UserFactory
{
    /**
     * Call this method to get singleton
     *
     * @return UserFactory
     */
    public static function Instance()
    {
        static $inst = null;
        if ($inst === null) {
            $inst = new UserFactory();
        }
        return $inst;
    }

    /**
     * Private ctor so nobody else can instantiate it
     *
     */
    private function __construct()
    {

    }
}

To use:

$fact = UserFactory::Instance();
$fact2 = UserFactory::Instance();

$fact == $fact2;

But:

$fact = new UserFactory()

Throws an error.

See http://php.net/manual/en/language.variables.scope.php#language.variables.scope.static to understand static variable scopes and why setting static $inst = null; works.

How to check if any Checkbox is checked in Angular

You can do something like:

function ChckbxsCtrl($scope, $filter) {
    $scope.chkbxs = [{
        label: "Led Zeppelin",
        val: false
    }, {
        label: "Electric Light Orchestra",
        val: false
    }, {
        label: "Mark Almond",
        val: false
    }];

    $scope.$watch("chkbxs", function(n, o) {
        var trues = $filter("filter")(n, {
            val: true
        });
        $scope.flag = trues.length;
    }, true);
}

And a template:

<div ng-controller="ChckbxsCtrl">
    <div ng-repeat="chk in chkbxs">
        <input type="checkbox" ng-model="chk.val" />
        <label>{{chk.label}}</label>
    </div>
    <div ng-show="flag">I'm ON when band choosed</div>
</div>

Working: http://jsfiddle.net/cherniv/JBwmA/

UPDATE: Or you can go little bit different way , without using $scope's $watch() method, like:

$scope.bandChoosed = function() {
    var trues = $filter("filter")($scope.chkbxs, {
        val: true
    });
    return trues.length;
}

And in a template do:

<div ng-show="bandChoosed()">I'm ON when band choosed</div>

How to export datagridview to excel using vb.net?

Excel Method

This method is different than many you will see. Others use a loop to write each cell and write the cells with text data type.

This method creates an object array from a DataTable or DataGridView and then writes the array to Excel. This means I can write to Excel without a loop and retain data types.

I extracted this from my library and I think I changed it enough to work with this code only, but more minor tweaking might be necessary. If you get errors just let me know and I'll correct them for you. Normally, I create an instance of my class and call these methods. If you would like to use my library then use this link to download it and if you need help just let me know.

After copying the code to your solution you will use it like this.

In your button code add this and change the names to your controls.

WriteDataGrid("Sheet1", grid)

To open your file after exporting use this line

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("The location and filename of your file")

In the WriteArray method you'll want to change the line that saves the workbook to where you want to save it. Probably makes sense to add this as a parameter.

I actually don't use this method in my Database program because it's a slow method when you have a lot of rows/columns. I instead create a CSV from the DataGridView. Writing to Excel with Excel Automation is only useful if you need to format the data and cells otherwise you should use CSV. You can use the code after the image for CSV export.

Convert HTML to PDF in .NET

If you want user to download the pdf of rendered page in the browser then the easiest solution to the problem is

window.print(); 

on client side it will prompt user to save pdf of current page. You can also customize the appearance of pdf by linking style

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="print.css" media="print">

print.css is applied to the html while printing.

Limitation

You can't store the file on server side. User prompt to print the page than he had to save page manually. Page must to be rendered in a tab.

ng-repeat :filter by single field

If you want filter for one field:

If you want filter for all field:

 label>Any: <input ng-model="search.$"></label> <br>
 <tr ng-repeat="friendObj in friends | filter:search:strict">

and https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/filter/filter good for you

Find running median from a stream of integers

If we want to find the median of the n most recently seen elements, this problem has an exact solution that only needs the n most recently seen elements to be kept in memory. It is fast and scales well.

An indexable skiplist supports O(ln n) insertion, removal, and indexed search of arbitrary elements while maintaining sorted order. When coupled with a FIFO queue that tracks the n-th oldest entry, the solution is simple:

class RunningMedian:
    'Fast running median with O(lg n) updates where n is the window size'

    def __init__(self, n, iterable):
        self.it = iter(iterable)
        self.queue = deque(islice(self.it, n))
        self.skiplist = IndexableSkiplist(n)
        for elem in self.queue:
            self.skiplist.insert(elem)

    def __iter__(self):
        queue = self.queue
        skiplist = self.skiplist
        midpoint = len(queue) // 2
        yield skiplist[midpoint]
        for newelem in self.it:
            oldelem = queue.popleft()
            skiplist.remove(oldelem)
            queue.append(newelem)
            skiplist.insert(newelem)
            yield skiplist[midpoint]

Here are links to complete working code (an easy-to-understand class version and an optimized generator version with the indexable skiplist code inlined):

transparent navigation bar ios

If you want to be able to do this programmatically in swift 4 while staying on the same view,

if change {
        navigationController?.navigationBar.isTranslucent = false
        self.navigationController?.navigationBar.backgroundColor = UIColor(displayP3Red: 255/255, green: 206/255, blue: 24/255, alpha: 1)
        navigationController?.navigationBar.barTintColor = UIColor(displayP3Red: 255/255, green: 206/255, blue: 24/255, alpha: 1)
    } else {
        navigationController?.navigationBar.isTranslucent = true
        navigationController?.navigationBar.setBackgroundImage(backgroundImage, for: .default)
        navigationController?.navigationBar.backgroundColor = .clear
        navigationController?.navigationBar.barTintColor = .clear
    }

One important thing to remember though is to click this button in your storyboard. I had an issue with a jumping display for a long time. Make sureyou set this: enter image description here

Then when you change the translucency of the navigation bar it will not cause the views to jump as the views extend all the way to the top, regardless of the visiblity of the navigation bar.

How to get unique values in an array

If you don't need to worry so much about older browsers, this is exactly what Sets are designed for.

The Set object lets you store unique values of any type, whether primitive values or object references.

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

const set1 = new Set([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1]);
// returns Set(5) {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

Javascript search inside a JSON object

Here is an iterative solution using object-scan. The advantage is that you can easily do other processing in the filter function and specify the paths in a more readable format. There is a trade-off in introducing a dependency though, so it really depends on your use case.

_x000D_
_x000D_
// const objectScan = require('object-scan');

const search = (haystack, k, v) => objectScan([`list[*].${k}`], {
  rtn: 'parent',
  filterFn: ({ value }) => value === v
})(haystack);

const obj = { list: [ { name: 'my Name', id: 12, type: 'car owner' }, { name: 'my Name2', id: 13, type: 'car owner2' }, { name: 'my Name4', id: 14, type: 'car owner3' }, { name: 'my Name4', id: 15, type: 'car owner5' } ] };

console.log(search(obj, 'name', 'my Name'));
// => [ { name: 'my Name', id: 12, type: 'car owner' } ]
_x000D_
.as-console-wrapper {max-height: 100% !important; top: 0}

Char array declaration and initialization in C

That's because your first code snippet is not performing initialization, but assignment:

char myarray[4] = "abc";  // Initialization.

myarray = "abc";          // Assignment.

And arrays are not directly assignable in C.

The name myarray actually resolves to the address of its first element (&myarray[0]), which is not an lvalue, and as such cannot be the target of an assignment.

How to urlencode data for curl command?

If you don't want to depend on Perl you can also use sed. It's a bit messy, as each character has to be escaped individually. Make a file with the following contents and call it urlencode.sed

s/%/%25/g
s/ /%20/g
s/ /%09/g
s/!/%21/g
s/"/%22/g
s/#/%23/g
s/\$/%24/g
s/\&/%26/g
s/'\''/%27/g
s/(/%28/g
s/)/%29/g
s/\*/%2a/g
s/+/%2b/g
s/,/%2c/g
s/-/%2d/g
s/\./%2e/g
s/\//%2f/g
s/:/%3a/g
s/;/%3b/g
s//%3e/g
s/?/%3f/g
s/@/%40/g
s/\[/%5b/g
s/\\/%5c/g
s/\]/%5d/g
s/\^/%5e/g
s/_/%5f/g
s/`/%60/g
s/{/%7b/g
s/|/%7c/g
s/}/%7d/g
s/~/%7e/g
s/      /%09/g

To use it do the following.

STR1=$(echo "https://www.example.com/change&$ ^this to?%checkthe@-functionality" | cut -d\? -f1)
STR2=$(echo "https://www.example.com/change&$ ^this to?%checkthe@-functionality" | cut -d\? -f2)
OUT2=$(echo "$STR2" | sed -f urlencode.sed)
echo "$STR1?$OUT2"

This will split the string into a part that needs encoding, and the part that is fine, encode the part that needs it, then stitches back together.

You can put that into a sh script for convenience, maybe have it take a parameter to encode, put it on your path and then you can just call:

urlencode https://www.exxample.com?isThisFun=HellNo

How do I disable right click on my web page?

A few things to consider:

Browser Plugins like "enable right click" in the chrome store exist for a reason, and you wont be able to get around them. There is LITERALLY NOTHING you can do to stop people from downloading your content as they literally have to download it to even see it in their browser anyway; People try but its always out there.

In general, if content shouldn't be public, don't put it online.

Also, not being able to right click is an accessibility issue and amounts to unlawful discrimination against the blind or disabled or elderly in many cases. Check you local laws, but in the USA its actively against the law in the form of the Federal ADA as the blind or the elderly who may have vision issues are a legally protected class.

So instead of doing this and wasting a lot of time and effort, don't even bother trying to do this. It could just get your company sued or have them fail a compliance audit.

The following example creates a collection with no default collation, then adds an index on the name field with a case insensitive collation. International Components for Unicode

/*
* strength: CollationStrength.Secondary
* Secondary level of comparison. Collation performs comparisons up to secondary * differences, such as diacritics. That is, collation performs comparisons of 
* base characters (primary differences) and diacritics (secondary differences). * Differences between base characters takes precedence over secondary 
* differences.
*/
db.users.createIndex( { name: 1 }, collation: { locale: 'tr', strength: 2 } } )

To use the index, queries must specify the same collation.

db.users.insert( [ { name: "Oguz" },
                            { name: "oguz" },
                            { name: "OGUZ" } ] )

// does not use index, finds one result
db.users.find( { name: "oguz" } )

// uses the index, finds three results
db.users.find( { name: "oguz" } ).collation( { locale: 'tr', strength: 2 } )

// does not use the index, finds three results (different strength)
db.users.find( { name: "oguz" } ).collation( { locale: 'tr', strength: 1 } )

or you can create a collection with default collation:

db.createCollection("users", { collation: { locale: 'tr', strength: 2 } } )
db.users.createIndex( { name : 1 } ) // inherits the default collation

PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class

PHP 5.3 (an I think older versions too) seems to have problem with same name in different cases. So I had this problem when a had the class Login and the interface it implements LogIn. After I renamed LogIn to Log_In the problem got solved.

LaTeX Optional Arguments

All of the above show hard it can be to make a nice, flexible (or forbid an overloaded) function in LaTeX!!! (that TeX code looks like greek to me)

well, just to add my recent (albeit not as flexible) development, here's what I've recently used in my thesis doc, with

\usepackage{ifthen}  % provides conditonals...

Start the command, with the "optional" command set blank by default:

\newcommand {\figHoriz} [4] []  {

I then have the macro set a temporary variable, \temp{}, differently depending on whether or not the optional argument is blank. This could be extended to any passed argument.

\ifthenelse { \equal {#1} {} }  %if short caption not specified, use long caption (no slant)
    { \def\temp {\caption[#4]{\textsl{#4}}} }   % if #1 == blank
    { \def\temp {\caption[#1]{\textsl{#4}}} }   % else (not blank)

Then I run the macro using the \temp{} variable for the two cases. (Here it just sets the short-caption to equal the long caption if it wasn't specified by the user).

\begin{figure}[!]
    \begin{center}
        \includegraphics[width=350 pt]{#3}
        \temp   %see above for caption etc.
        \label{#2}
    \end{center}
\end{figure}
}

In this case I only check for the single, "optional" argument that \newcommand{} provides. If you were to set it up for, say, 3 "optional" args, you'd still have to send the 3 blank args... eg.

\MyCommand {first arg} {} {} {}

which is pretty silly, I know, but that's about as far as I'm going to go with LaTeX - it's just not that sensical once I start looking at TeX code... I do like Mr. Robertson's xparse method though, perhaps I'll try it...

How do you use MySQL's source command to import large files in windows

On Windows this should work (note the forwardslash and that the whole path is not quoted and that spaces are allowed)

how to write procedure to insert data in to the table in phpmyadmin?

This method work for me:

DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS db.test $$
CREATE PROCEDURE db.test(IN id INT(12),IN NAME VARCHAR(255))
 BEGIN
 INSERT INTO USER VALUES(id,NAME);
 END$$
DELIMITER ;

Show tables, describe tables equivalent in redshift

You can use - desc / to see the view/table definition in Redshift. I have been using Workbench/J as a SQL client for Redshift and it gives the definition in the Messages tab adjacent to Result tab.

struct.error: unpack requires a string argument of length 4

By default, on many platforms the short will be aligned to an offset at a multiple of 2, so there will be a padding byte added after the char.

To disable this, use: struct.unpack("=BH", data). This will use standard alignment, which doesn't add padding:

>>> struct.calcsize('=BH')
3

The = character will use native byte ordering. You can also use < or > instead of = to force little-endian or big-endian byte ordering, respectively.

raw vs. html_safe vs. h to unescape html

The difference is between Rails’ html_safe() and raw(). There is an excellent post by Yehuda Katz on this, and it really boils down to this:

def raw(stringish)

  stringish.to_s.html_safe

end

Yes, raw() is a wrapper around html_safe() that forces the input to String and then calls html_safe() on it. It’s also the case that raw() is a helper in a module whereas html_safe() is a method on the String class which makes a new ActiveSupport::SafeBuffer instance — that has a @dirty flag in it.

Refer to "Rails’ html_safe vs. raw".

How do I find the difference between two values without knowing which is larger?

You can try: a=[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9];

[abs(x[1]-x[0]) for x in zip(a[1:],a[:-1])]

Python: URLError: <urlopen error [Errno 10060]

Answer (Basic is advance!):

Error: 10060 Adding a timeout parameter to request solved the issue for me.

Example 1

import urllib
import urllib2
g = "http://www.google.com/"
read = urllib2.urlopen(g, timeout=20)

Example 2

A similar error also occurred while I was making a GET request. Again, passing a timeout parameter solved the 10060 Error.

response = requests.get(param_url, timeout=20)

What is the difference between a .cpp file and a .h file?

.h files, or header files, are used to list the publicly accessible instance variables and and methods in the class declaration. .cpp files, or implementation files, are used to actually implement those methods and use those instance variables.

The reason they are separate is because .h files aren't compiled into binary code while .cpp files are. Take a library, for example. Say you are the author and you don't want it to be open source. So you distribute the compiled binary library and the header files to your customers. That allows them to easily see all the information about your library's classes they can use without being able to see how you implemented those methods. They are more for the people using your code rather than the compiler. As was said before: it's the convention.

Bootstrap modal link

Please remove . from your target it should be a id

<a href="#bannerformmodal" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#bannerformmodal">Load me</a>

Also you have to give your modal id like below

<div class="modal fade bannerformmodal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="bannerformmodal" aria-hidden="true" id="bannerformmodal">

Here is the solution in a fiddle.

break statement in "if else" - java

The issue is that you are trying to have multiple statements in an if without using {}. What you currently have is interpreted like:

if( choice==5 )
{
    System.out.println( ... );
}
break;
else
{
    //...
}

You really want:

if( choice==5 )
{
    System.out.println( ... );
    break;
}
else
{
    //...
}

Also, as Farce has stated, it would be better to use else if for all the conditions instead of if because if choice==1, it will still go through and check if choice==5, which would fail, and it will still go into your else block.

if( choice==1 )
    //...
else if( choice==2 )
    //...
else if( choice==3 )
    //...
else if( choice==4 )
    //...
else if( choice==5 )
{
    //...
}
else
    //...

A more elegant solution would be using a switch statement. However, break only breaks from the most inner "block" unless you use labels. So you want to label your loop and break from that if the case is 5:

LOOP:
for(;;)
{
    System.out.println("---> Your choice: ");
    choice = input.nextInt();
    switch( choice )
    {
        case 1:
            playGame();
            break;
        case 2:
            loadGame();
            break;
        case 2:
            options();
            break;
        case 4:
            credits();
            break;
        case 5:
            System.out.println("End of Game\n Thank you for playing with us!");
            break LOOP;
        default:
            System.out.println( ... );
    }
}

Instead of labeling the loop, you could also use a flag to tell the loop to stop.

bool finished = false;
while( !finished )
{
    switch( choice )
    {
        // ...
        case 5:
            System.out.println( ... )
            finished = true;
            break;
        // ...
    }
}

mysql: SOURCE error 2?

For me it was because the file was located on a shared drive and it could not access, for some reason, to that path. I cut the file and put it on my local drive in a path without spaces and it got resolved.

Static class initializer in PHP

If you don't like public static initializer, reflection can be a workaround.

<?php

class LanguageUtility
{
    public static function initializeClass($class)
    {
        try
        {
            // Get a static method named 'initialize'. If not found,
            // ReflectionMethod() will throw a ReflectionException.
            $ref = new \ReflectionMethod($class, 'initialize');

            // The 'initialize' method is probably 'private'.
            // Make it accessible before calling 'invoke'.
            // Note that 'setAccessible' is not available
            // before PHP version 5.3.2.
            $ref->setAccessible(true);

            // Execute the 'initialize' method.
            $ref->invoke(null);
        }   
        catch (Exception $e)
        {
        }
    }
}

class MyClass
{
    private static function initialize()
    {
    }
}

LanguageUtility::initializeClass('MyClass');

?>

How can I read command line parameters from an R script?

Add this to the top of your script:

args<-commandArgs(TRUE)

Then you can refer to the arguments passed as args[1], args[2] etc.

Then run

Rscript myscript.R arg1 arg2 arg3

If your args are strings with spaces in them, enclose within double quotes.

How to globally replace a forward slash in a JavaScript string?

Use a regex literal with the g modifier, and escape the forward slash with a backslash so it doesn't clash with the delimiters.

var str = 'some // slashes', replacement = '';
var replaced = str.replace(/\//g, replacement);

How to use ng-repeat for dictionaries in AngularJs?

In Angular 7, the following simple example would work (assuming dictionary is in a variable called d):

my.component.ts:

keys: string[] = [];  // declaration of class member 'keys'
// component code ...

this.keys = Object.keys(d);

my.component.html: (will display list of key:value pairs)

<ul *ngFor="let key of keys">
    {{key}}: {{d[key]}}
</ul>

Save current directory in variable using Bash?

Similar to solution of mark with some checking of variables. Also I prefer not to use $variable but rather the same string I saved it under

save your folder/directory using save dir sdir myproject and go back to that folder using goto dir gdir myproject

in addition checkout the workings of native pushd and popd they will save the current folder and this is handy for going back and forth. In this case you can also use popd after gdir myproject and go back again

# Save the current folder using sdir yourhandle to a variable you can later access the same folder fast using gdir yourhandle

function sdir {
    [[ ! -z "$1" ]] && export __d__$1="`pwd`";
}
function gdir {
    [[ ! -z "$1" ]] && cd "${!1}";
}

another handy trick is to combine the two pushd/popd and sdir and gdir wher you replace the cd in the goto dir function in pushd. This enables you to also fly back to your previous folder when making the jump to the saved folder.

# Save the current folder using sdir yourhandle to a variable you can later access the same folder fast using gdir yourhandle

function sdir {
    [[ ! -z "$1" ]] && export __d__$1="`pwd`";
}
function gdir {
    [[ ! -z "$1" ]] && pushd "${!1}";
}

Replace NA with 0 in a data frame column

Since nobody so far felt fit to point out why what you're trying doesn't work:

  1. NA == NA doesn't return TRUE, it returns NA (since comparing to undefined values should yield an undefined result).
  2. You're trying to call apply on an atomic vector. You can't use apply to loop over the elements in a column.
  3. Your subscripts are off - you're trying to give two indices into a$x, which is just the column (an atomic vector).

I'd fix up 3. to get to a$x[is.na(a$x)] <- 0

Python : How to parse the Body from a raw email , given that raw email does not have a "Body" tag or anything

Python 3.6+ provides built-in convenience methods to find and decode the plain text body as in @Todor Minakov's answer. You can use the EMailMessage.get_body() and get_content() methods:

msg = email.message_from_string(s, policy=email.policy.default)
body = msg.get_body(('plain',))
if body:
    body = body.get_content()
print(body)

Note this will give None if there is no (obvious) plain text body part.

If you are reading from e.g. an mbox file, you can give the mailbox constructor an EmailMessage factory:

mbox = mailbox.mbox(mboxfile, factory=lambda f: email.message_from_binary_file(f, policy=email.policy.default), create=False)
for msg in mbox:
    ...

Note you must pass email.policy.default as the policy, since it's not the default...

What's the difference between `raw_input()` and `input()` in Python 3?

If You want to ensure, that your code is running with python2 and python3, use function input () in your script and add this to begin of your script:

from sys import version_info
if version_info.major == 3:
    pass
elif version_info.major == 2:
    try:
        input = raw_input
    except NameError:
        pass
else:
    print ("Unknown python version - input function not safe")

Graphical user interface Tutorial in C

You can also have a look at FLTK (C++ and not plain C though)

FLTK (pronounced "fulltick") is a cross-platform C++ GUI toolkit for UNIX®/Linux® (X11), Microsoft® Windows®, and MacOS® X. FLTK provides modern GUI functionality without the bloat and supports 3D graphics via OpenGL® and its built-in GLUT emulation.

FLTK is designed to be small and modular enough to be statically linked, but works fine as a shared library. FLTK also includes an excellent UI builder called FLUID that can be used to create applications in minutes.

[Happy New Year!]

HTTP POST with URL query parameters -- good idea or not?

Everyone is right: stick with POST for non-idempotent requests.

What about using both an URI query string and request content? Well it's valid HTTP (see note 1), so why not?!

It is also perfectly logical: URLs, including their query string part, are for locating resources. Whereas HTTP method verbs (POST - and its optional request content) are for specifying actions, or what to do with resources. Those should be orthogonal concerns. (But, they are not beautifully orthogonal concerns for the special case of ContentType=application/x-www-form-urlencoded, see note 2 below.)

Note 1: HTTP specification (1.1) does not state that query parameters and content are mutually exclusive for a HTTP server that accepts POST or PUT requests. So any server is free to accept both. I.e. if you write the server there's nothing to stop you choosing to accept both (except maybe an inflexible framework). Generally, the server can interpret query strings according to whatever rules it wants. It can even interpret them with conditional logic that refers to other headers like Content-Type too, which leads to Note 2:

Note 2: if a web browser is the primary way people are accessing your web application, and application/x-www-form-urlencoded is the Content-Type they are posting, then you should follow the rules for that Content-Type. And the rules for application/x-www-form-urlencoded are much more specific (and frankly, unusual): in this case you must interpret the URI as a set of parameters, and not a resource location. [This is the same point of usefulness Powerlord raised; that it may be hard to use web forms to POST content to your server. Just explained a little differently.]

Note 3: what are query strings originally for? RFC 3986 defines HTTP query strings as an URI part that works as a non-hierarchical way of locating a resource.

In case readers asking this question wish to ask what is good RESTful architecture: the RESTful architecture pattern doesn't require URI schemes to work a specific way. RESTful architecture concerns itself with other properties of the system, like cacheability of resources, the design of the resources themselves (their behavior, capabilities, and representations), and whether idempotence is satisfied. Or in other words, achieving a design which is highly compatible with HTTP protocol and its set of HTTP method verbs. :-) (In other words, RESTful architecture is not very presciptive with how the resources are located.)

Final note: sometimes query parameters get used for yet other things, which are neither locating resources nor encoding content. Ever seen a query parameter like 'PUT=true' or 'POST=true'? These are workarounds for browsers that don't allow you to use PUT and POST methods. While such parameters are seen as part of the URL query string (on the wire), I argue that they are not part of the URL's query in spirit.

simple Jquery hover enlarge

If you have more than 1 image on the page that you like to enlarge, name the id's for instance "content1", "content2", "content3", etc. Then extend the script with this, like so:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("[id^=content]").hover(function() {
        $(this).addClass('transition');
    }, function() {
        $(this).removeClass('transition');
    });
});

Edit: Change the "#content" CSS to: img[id^=content] to remain having the transition effects.

    // filter out (!) items in result2_x000D_
    return !result2.some(function(o2){_x000D_
        return o1.id === o2.id;          // assumes unique id_x000D_
    });_x000D_
}).map(function(o){_x000D_
    // use reduce to make objects with only the required properties_x000D_
    // and map to apply this to the filtered array as a whole_x000D_
    return props.reduce(function(newo, name){_x000D_
        newo[name] = o[name];_x000D_
        return newo;_x000D_
    }, {});_x000D_
});_x000D_

How to program a fractal?

If complex numbers give you a headache, there is a broad range of fractals that can be formulated using an L-system. This requires a couple of layers interacting, but each is interesting in it own right.

First you need a turtle. Forward, Back, Left, Right, Pen-up, Pen-down. There are lots of fun shapes to be made with turtle graphics using turtle geometry even without an L-system driving it. Search for "LOGO graphics" or "Turtle graphics". A full LOGO system is in fact a Lisp programming environment using an unparenthesized Cambridge Polish syntax. But you don't have to go nearly that far to get some pretty pictures using the turtle concept.

Then you need a layer to execute an L-system. L-systems are related to Post-systems and Semi-Thue systems, and like virii, they straddle the border of Turing Completeness. The concept is string-rewriting. It can be implemented as a macro-expansion or a procedure set with extra controls to bound the recursion. If using macro-expansion (as in the example below), you will still need a procedure set to map symbols to turtle commands and a procedure to iterate through the string or array to run the encoded turtle program. For a bounded-recursion procedure set (eg.), you embed the turtle commands in the procedures and either add recursion-level checks to each procedure or factor it out to a handler function.

Here's an example of a Pythagoras' Tree in postscript using macro-expansion and a very abbreviated set of turtle commands. For some examples in python and mathematica, see my code golf challenge.

Generating a WSDL from an XSD file

I know this question is old, but it deserves an answer. I personally prefer to create a WSDL by hand and test for compliance using SoapUI. But sometimes (specially for complex WSDLs), you have three ways to generate one out of an XSD:

  1. Generating a WSDL from a schema using Eclipse (probably the most user-friendly)
  2. Generating a WSDL via CXF (my favorite)
  3. Generating a WSDL via conventions using Spring WS (my least favorite)

I prefer the CXF approach since I'm a CLI guy. If it has a CLI, you can automate (that's my motto). And I like the Spring WS approach the least since it uses a lot of framework specific conventions.

There are more people who know CXF (I believe) than Spring WS. So anything that can throw a learning curve for a new engineer (without any clear advantage or ROI) is something I frown upon.

It should also go w/o saying that any generated WSDL should be tested for validity and compliance (and tweaked till it complies), and that your application publishes a static wsdl (as opposed to returning an auto-generated one.)

It's been my experience that you start with a WS-I compliant wsdl and then your application auto-generates (and returns to consumers) a non-compliant one.

In other words, beware of auto magic.

Opening the Settings app from another app

Swift 4

I prefer to open setting in a safer way,

if let settingUrl = URL(string:UIApplicationOpenSettingsURLString) {

    UIApplication.shared.open(settingUrl)
}
else {
    print("Setting URL invalid")
}

Node update a specific package

Most of the time you can just npm update (or yarn upgrade) a module to get the latest non breaking changes (respecting the semver specified in your package.json) (<-- read that last part again).

npm update browser-sync
-------
yarn upgrade browser-sync
  • Use npm|yarn outdated to see which modules have newer versions
  • Use npm update|yarn upgrade (without a package name) to update all modules
  • Include --save-dev|--dev if you want to save the newer version numbers to your package.json. (NOTE: as of npm v5.0 this is only necessary for devDependencies).

Major version upgrades:

In your case, it looks like you want the next major version (v2.x.x), which is likely to have breaking changes and you will need to update your app to accommodate those changes. You can install/save the latest 2.x.x by doing:

npm install browser-sync@2 --save-dev
-------
yarn add browser-sync@2 --dev

...or the latest 2.1.x by doing:

npm install [email protected] --save-dev
-------
yarn add [email protected] --dev

...or the latest and greatest by doing:

npm install browser-sync@latest --save-dev
-------
yarn add browser-sync@latest --dev

Note: the last one is no different than doing this:

npm uninstall browser-sync --save-dev
npm install browser-sync --save-dev
-------
yarn remove browser-sync --dev
yarn add browser-sync --dev

The --save-dev part is important. This will uninstall it, remove the value from your package.json, and then reinstall the latest version and save the new value to your package.json.

Get bytes from std::string in C++

If you just need read-only access, then c_str() will do it:

char const *c = myString.c_str();

If you need read/write access, then you can copy the string into a vector. vectors manage dynamic memory for you. You don't have to mess with allocation/deallocation then:

std::vector<char> bytes(myString.begin(), myString.end());
bytes.push_back('\0');
char *c = &bytes[0];

How to get the index of an element in an IEnumerable?

I'd question the wisdom, but perhaps:

source.TakeWhile(x => x != value).Count();

(using EqualityComparer<T>.Default to emulate != if needed) - but you need to watch to return -1 if not found... so perhaps just do it the long way

public static int IndexOf<T>(this IEnumerable<T> source, T value)
{
    int index = 0;
    var comparer = EqualityComparer<T>.Default; // or pass in as a parameter
    foreach (T item in source)
    {
        if (comparer.Equals(item, value)) return index;
        index++;
    }

How do I recursively delete a directory and its entire contents (files + sub dirs) in PHP?

I use this code ...

 function rmDirectory($dir) {
        foreach(glob($dir . '/*') as $file) {
            if(is_dir($file))
                rrmdir($file);
            else
                unlink($file);
        }
        rmdir($dir);
    }

or this one...

<?php 
public static function delTree($dir) { 
   $files = array_diff(scandir($dir), array('.','..')); 
    foreach ($files as $file) { 
      (is_dir("$dir/$file")) ? delTree("$dir/$file") : unlink("$dir/$file"); 
    } 
    return rmdir($dir); 
  } 
?>

Validate form field only on submit or user input

Erik Aigner,

Please use $dirty(The field has been modified) and $invalid (The field content is not valid).

Please check below examples for angular form validation

1)

Validation example HTML for user enter inputs:

<form  ng-app="myApp"  ng-controller="validateCtrl" name="myForm" novalidate>
  <p>Email:<br>
    <input type="email" name="email" ng-model="email" required>
    <span ng-show="myForm.email.$dirty && myForm.email.$invalid">
      <span ng-show="myForm.email.$error.required">Email is required.</span>
      <span ng-show="myForm.email.$error.email">Invalid email address.</span>
      </span>
  </p>
    </form>

2)

Validation example HTML/Js for user submits :

      <form  ng-app="myApp"  ng-controller="validateCtrl" name="myForm" novalidate form-submit-validation="">
      <p>Email:<br>
        <input type="email" name="email" ng-model="email" required>
        <span ng-show="submitted || myForm.email.$dirty && myForm.email.$invalid">
          <span ng-show="myForm.email.$error.required">Email is required.</span>
          <span ng-show="myForm.email.$error.email">Invalid email address.</span>
          </span>
      </p>
<p>
  <input type="submit">
</p>
</form>

Custom Directive :

app.directive('formSubmitValidation', function () {

        return {
            require: 'form',
            compile: function (tElem, tAttr) {

                tElem.data('augmented', true);

                return function (scope, elem, attr, form) {
                    elem.on('submit', function ($event) {
                        scope.$broadcast('form:submit', form);

                        if (!form.$valid) {
                            $event.preventDefault();
                        }
                        scope.$apply(function () {
                            scope.submitted = true;
                        });


                    });
                }
            }
        };


  })

3)

you don't want use directive use ng-change function like below

  <form  ng-app="myApp"  ng-controller="validateCtrl" name="myForm" novalidate ng-change="submitFun()">
      <p>Email:<br>
        <input type="email" name="email" ng-model="email" required>
        <span ng-show="submitted || myForm.email.$dirty && myForm.email.$invalid">
          <span ng-show="myForm.email.$error.required">Email is required.</span>
          <span ng-show="myForm.email.$error.email">Invalid email address.</span>
          </span>
      </p>
<p>
  <input type="submit">
</p>
</form>

Controller SubmitFun() JS:

 var app = angular.module('example', []);
 app.controller('exampleCntl', function($scope) {
 $scope.submitFun = function($event) {
 $scope.submitted = true;
  if (!$scope.myForm.$valid) 
  {
        $event.preventDefault();
   }
  }

});

How can I build multiple submit buttons django form?

You can use self.data in the clean_email method to access the POST data before validation. It should contain a key called newsletter_sub or newsletter_unsub depending on which button was pressed.

# in the context of a django.forms form

def clean(self):
    if 'newsletter_sub' in self.data:
        # do subscribe
    elif 'newsletter_unsub' in self.data:
        # do unsubscribe

Python - PIP install trouble shooting - PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied

After seeing

You are using pip version 9.0.1, however version 10.0.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'python -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.

I ran

pip install -U pip

and hit this error

PermissionError: [WinError 5]

I tried again and got

pip install -U pip
ERROR: To modify pip, please run the following command:
c:\python36-32\python.exe -m pip install -U pip

After running that exact command, it worked.

For those promoting the use of virtual environments as a solution to this error, pip and virtualenv must be updated in your main install. Simply put, a virtual environment offers no solution to this problem.

Regex using javascript to return just numbers

Using split and regex :

    console.log(str[0]); // fooBar
    console.log(str[1]); // 0123

How do I replace a character in a string in Java?

Just create a string that contains all of the data in question and then use String.replaceAll() like below.

String result = yourString.replaceAll("&", "&amp;");

MySQL - SELECT * INTO OUTFILE LOCAL ?

Since I find myself rather regularly looking for this exact problem (in the hopes I missed something before...), I finally decided to take the time and write up a small gist to export MySQL queries as CSV files, kinda like https://stackoverflow.com/a/28168869 but based on PHP and with a couple of more options. This was important for my use case, because I need to be able to fine-tune the CSV parameters (delimiter, NULL value handling) AND the files need to be actually valid CSV, so that a simple CONCAT is not sufficient since it doesn't generate valid CSV files if the values contain line breaks or the CSV delimiter.

Caution: Requires PHP to be installed on the server! (Can be checked via php -v)

"Install" mysql2csv via

wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/paslandau/37bf787eab1b84fc7ae679d1823cf401/raw/29a48bb0a43f6750858e1ddec054d3552f3cbc45/mysql2csv -O mysql2csv -q && (sha256sum mysql2csv | cmp <(echo "b109535b29733bd596ecc8608e008732e617e97906f119c66dd7cf6ab2865a65  mysql2csv") || (echo "ERROR comparing hash, Found:" ;sha256sum mysql2csv) ) && chmod +x mysql2csv

(download content of the gist, check checksum and make it executable)

Usage example

./mysql2csv --file="/tmp/result.csv" --query='SELECT 1 as foo, 2 as bar;' --user="username" --password="password"

generates file /tmp/result.csv with content

foo,bar
1,2

help for reference

./mysql2csv --help
Helper command to export data for an arbitrary mysql query into a CSV file.
Especially helpful if the use of "SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE" is not an option, e.g.
because the mysql server is running on a remote host.

Usage example:
./mysql2csv --file="/tmp/result.csv" --query='SELECT 1 as foo, 2 as bar;' --user="username" --password="password"

cat /tmp/result.csv

Options:
        -q,--query=name [required]
                The query string to extract data from mysql.
        -h,--host=name
                (Default: 127.0.0.1) The hostname of the mysql server.
        -D,--database=name
                The default database.
        -P,--port=name
                (Default: 3306) The port of the mysql server.
        -u,--user=name
                The username to connect to the mysql server.
        -p,--password=name
                The password to connect to the mysql server.
        -F,--file=name

        -L,--delimiter=name
                (Default: ,) The CSV delimiter.
        -C,--enclosure=name
                (Default: ") The CSV enclosure (that is used to enclose values that contain special characters).
        -E,--escape=name
                (Default: \) The CSV escape character.
        -N,--null=name
                (Default: \N) The value that is used to replace NULL values in the CSV file.

Decompile .smali files on an APK

I second that.

Dex2jar will generate a WORKING jar, which you can add as your project source, with the xmls you got from apktool.

However, JDGUI generates .java files which have ,more often than not, errors.

It has got something to do with code obfuscation I guess.

Should I use px or rem value units in my CSS?

I would like to praise josh3736's answer for providing some excellent historical context. While it's well articulated, the CSS landscape has changed in the almost five years since this question was asked. When this question was asked, px was the correct answer, but that no longer holds true today.


tl;dr: use rem

Unit Overview

Historically px units typically represented one device pixel. With devices having higher and higher pixel density this no longer holds for many devices, such as with Apple's Retina Display.

rem units represent the root em size. It's the font-size of whatever matches :root. In the case of HTML, it's the <html> element; for SVG, it's the <svg> element. The default font-size in every browser* is 16px.

At the time of writing, rem is supported by approximately 98% of users. If you're worried about that other 2%, I'll remind you that media queries are also supported by approximately 98% of users.

On Using px

The majority of CSS examples on the internet use px values because they were the de-facto standard. pt, in and a variety of other units could have been used in theory, but they didn't handle small values well as you'd quickly need to resort to fractions, which were longer to type, and harder to reason about.

If you wanted a thin border, with px you could use 1px, with pt you'd need to use 0.75pt for consistent results, and that's just not very convenient.

On Using rem

rem's default value of 16px isn't a very strong argument for its use. Writing 0.0625rem is worse than writing 0.75pt, so why would anyone use rem?

There are two parts to rem's advantage over other units.

  • User preferences are respected
  • You can change the apparent px value of rem to whatever you'd like

Respecting User Preferences

Browser zoom has changed a lot over the years. Historically many browsers would only scale up font-size, but that changed pretty rapidly when websites realized that their beautiful pixel-perfect designs were breaking any time someone zoomed in or out. At this point, browsers scale the entire page, so font-based zooming is out of the picture.

Respecting a user's wishes is not out of the picture. Just because a browser is set to 16px by default, doesn't mean any user can't change their preferences to 24px or 32px to correct for low vision or poor visibility (e.x. screen glare). If you base your units off of rem, any user at a higher font-size will see a proportionally larger site. Borders will be bigger, padding will be bigger, margins will be bigger, everything will scale up fluidly.

If you base your media queries on rem, you can also make sure that the site your users see fits their screen. A user with font-size set to 32px on a 640px wide browser, will effectively be seeing your site as shown to a user at 16px on a 320px wide browser. There's absolutely no loss for RWD in using rem.

Changing Apparent px Value

Because rem is based on the font-size of the :root node, if you want to change what 1rem represents, all you have to do is change the font-size:

_x000D_
_x000D_
:root {_x000D_
  font-size: 100px;_x000D_
}_x000D_
body {_x000D_
  font-size: 1rem;_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<p>Don't ever actually do this, please</p>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Whatever you do, don't set the :root element's font-size to a px value.

If you set the font-size on html to a px value, you've blown away the user's preferences without a way to get them back.

If you want to change the apparent value of rem, use % units.

The math for this is reasonably straight-forward.

The apparent font-size of :root is 16px, but lets say we want to change it to 20px. All we need to do is multiply 16 by some value to get 20.

Set up your equation:

16 * X = 20

And solve for X:

X = 20 / 16
X = 1.25
X = 125%

_x000D_
_x000D_
:root {_x000D_
  font-size: 125%;_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<p>If you're using the default font-size, I'm 20px tall.</p>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Doing everything in multiples of 20 isn't all that great, but a common suggestion is to make the apparent size of rem equal to 10px. The magic number for that is 10/16 which is 0.625, or 62.5%.

_x000D_
_x000D_
:root {_x000D_
  font-size: 62.5%;_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<p>If you're using the default font-size, I'm 10px tall.</p>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

The problem now is that your default font-size for the rest of the page is set way too small, but there's a simple fix for that: Set a font-size on body using rem:

_x000D_
_x000D_
:root {_x000D_
  font-size: 62.5%;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
body {_x000D_
  font-size: 1.6rem;_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<p>I'm the default font-size</p>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

It's important to note, with this adjustment in place, the apparent value of rem is 10px which means any value you might have written in px can be converted directly to rem by bumping a decimal place.

padding: 20px;

turns into

padding: 2rem;

The apparent font-size you choose is up to you, so if you want there's no reason you can't use:

:root {
  font-size: 6.25%;
}
body {
  font-size: 16rem;
}

and have 1rem equal 1px.

So there you have it, a simple solution to respect user wishes while also avoiding over-complicating your CSS.

Wait, so what's the catch?

I was afraid you might ask that. As much as I'd like to pretend that rem is magic and solves-all-things, there are still some issues of note. Nothing deal-breaking in my opinion, but I'm going to call them out so you can't say I didn't warn you.

Media Queries (use em)

One of the first issues you'll run into with rem involves media queries. Consider the following code:

:root {
  font-size: 1000px;
}
@media (min-width: 1rem) {
  :root {
    font-size: 1px;
  }
}

Here the value of rem changes depending on whether the media-query applies, and the media query depends on the value of rem, so what on earth is going on?

rem in media queries uses the initial value of font-size and should not (see Safari section) take into account any changes that may have happened to the font-size of the :root element. In other words, it's apparent value is always 16px.

This is a bit annoying, because it means that you have to do some fractional calculations, but I have found that most common media queries already use values that are multiples of 16.

|   px | rem |
+------+-----+
|  320 |  20 |
|  480 |  30 |
|  768 |  48 |
| 1024 |  64 |
| 1200 |  75 |
| 1600 | 100 |

Additionally if you're using a CSS preprocessor, you can use mixins or variables to manage your media queries, which will mask the issue entirely.

Safari

Unfortunately there's a known bug with Safari where changes to the :root font-size do actually change the calculated rem values for media query ranges. This can cause some very strange behavior if the font-size of the :root element is changed within a media query. Fortunately the fix is simple: use em units for media queries.

Context Switching

If you switch between projects various different projects, it's quite possible that the apparent font-size of rem will have different values. In one project, you might be using an apparent size of 10px where in another project the apparent size might be 1px. This can be confusing and cause issues.

My only recommendation here is to stick with 62.5% to convert rem to an apparent size of 10px, because that has been more common in my experience.

Shared CSS Libraries

If you're writing CSS that's going to be used on a site that you don't control, such as for an embedded widget, there's really no good way to know what apparent size rem will have. If that's the case, feel free to keep using px.

If you still want to use rem though, consider releasing a Sass or LESS version of the stylesheet with a variable to override the scaling for the apparent size of rem.


* I don't want to spook anyone away from using rem, but I haven't been able to officially confirm that every browser uses 16px by default. You see, there are a lot of browsers and it wouldn't be all that hard for one browser to have diverged ever so slightly to, say 15px or 18px. In testing, however I have not seen a single example where a browser using default settings in a system using default settings had any value other than 16px. If you find such an example, please share it with me.

How to Get True Size of MySQL Database?

If you want to find the size of all MySQL databases, us this command, it will show their respective sizes in megabytes;

SELECT table_schema "database", sum(data_length + index_length)/1024/1024 "size in MB" FROM information_schema.TABLES GROUP BY table_schema;

If you have large databases, you can use the following command to show the result in gigabytes;

SELECT table_schema "database", sum(data_length + index_length)/1024/1024/1024 "size in GB" FROM information_schema.TABLES GROUP BY table_schema;

If you want to show the size of only a specific database, for example YOUR_DATABASE_NAME, you could use the following query;

SELECT table_schema "database", sum(data_length + index_length)/1024/1024/1024 "size in GB" FROM information_schema.TABLES WHERE table_schema='YOUR_DATABASE_NAME' GROUP BY table_schema;

How do I find the absolute position of an element using jQuery?

.offset() will return the offset position of an element as a simple object, eg:

var position = $(element).offset(); // position = { left: 42, top: 567 }

You can use this return value to position other elements at the same spot:

$(anotherElement).css(position)
