How to read a file from jar in Java?

Just for completeness, there has recently been a question on the Jython mailinglist where one of the answers referred to this thread.

The question was how to call a Python script that is contained in a .jar file from within Jython, the suggested answer is as follows (with "InputStream" as explained in one of the answers above:

PythonInterpreter.execfile(InputStream)

Add support library to Android Studio project

In Android Studio 1.0, this worked for me :-
Open the build.gradle (Module : app) file and paste this (at the end) :-

dependencies {
    compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.+"
}

Note that this dependencies is different from the dependencies inside buildscript in build.gradle (Project)
When you edit the gradle file, a message shows that you must sync the file. Press "Sync now"

How to spawn a process and capture its STDOUT in .NET?

Here's code that I've verified to work. I use it for spawning MSBuild and listening to its output:

process.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
process.OutputDataReceived += (sender, args) => Console.WriteLine("received output: {0}", args.Data);
process.Start();
process.BeginOutputReadLine();

How do I update zsh to the latest version?

If you have Homebrew installed, you can do this.

# check the zsh info
brew info zsh

# install zsh
brew install --without-etcdir zsh

# add shell path
sudo vim /etc/shells

# add the following line into the very end of the file(/etc/shells)

Hope it helps, thanks.

Is there a way to get a list of column names in sqlite?

It is very easy.
First create a connection , lets name it, con. Then run the following code.

get_column_names=con.execute("select * from table_name limit 1")
col_name=[i[0] for i in get_column_names.description]
print(col_name)

You will get column name as a list

Import Excel Spreadsheet Data to an EXISTING sql table?

You can use import data with wizard and there you can choose destination table.

Run the wizard. In selecting source tables and views window you see two parts. Source and Destination.

Click on the field under Destination part to open the drop down and select you destination table and edit its mappings if needed.

EDIT

Merely typing the name of the table does not work. It appears that the name of the table must include the schema (dbo) and possibly brackets. Note the dropdown on the right hand side of the text field.

What is the difference between Digest and Basic Authentication?

Basic Authentication use base 64 Encoding for generating cryptographic string which contains the information of username and password.

Digest Access Authentication uses the hashing methodologies to generate the cryptographic result

Python initializing a list of lists

The problem is that they're all the same exact list in memory. When you use the [x]*n syntax, what you get is a list of n many x objects, but they're all references to the same object. They're not distinct instances, rather, just n references to the same instance.

To make a list of 3 different lists, do this:

x = [[] for i in range(3)]

This gives you 3 separate instances of [], which is what you want

[[]]*n is similar to

l = []
x = []
for i in range(n):
    x.append(l)

While [[] for i in range(3)] is similar to:

x = []
for i in range(n):
    x.append([])   # appending a new list!

In [20]: x = [[]] * 4

In [21]: [id(i) for i in x]
Out[21]: [164363948, 164363948, 164363948, 164363948] # same id()'s for each list,i.e same object


In [22]: x=[[] for i in range(4)]

In [23]: [id(i) for i in x]
Out[23]: [164382060, 164364140, 164363628, 164381292] #different id(), i.e unique objects this time

Get all files modified in last 30 days in a directory

A couple of issues

  • You're not limiting it to files, so when it finds a matching directory it will list every file within it.
  • You can't use > in -exec without something like bash -c '... > ...'. Though the > will overwrite the file, so you want to redirect the entire find anyway rather than each -exec.
  • +30 is older than 30 days, -30 would be modified in last 30 days.
  • -exec really isn't needed, you could list everything with various -printf options.

Something like below should work

find . -type f -mtime -30 -exec ls -l {} \; > last30days.txt

Example with -printf

find . -type f -mtime -30 -printf "%M %u %g %TR %TD %p\n" > last30days.txt

This will list files in format "permissions owner group time date filename". -printf is generally preferable to -exec in cases where you don't have to do anything complicated. This is because it will run faster as a result of not having to execute subshells for each -exec. Depending on the version of find, you may also be able to use -ls, which has a similar format to above.

Regex to get NUMBER only from String

Either [0-9] or \d1 should suffice if you only need a single digit. Append + if you need more.

How to get HQ youtube thumbnails?

Depending on the resolution you need, you can use a different URL:

Default Thumbnail

http://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/default.jpg

High Quality Thumbnail

http://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/hqdefault.jpg

Medium Quality

http://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/mqdefault.jpg

Standard Definition

http://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/sddefault.jpg

Maximum Resolution

http://img.youtube.com/vi/<insert-youtube-video-id-here>/maxresdefault.jpg

Note: it's a work-around if you don't want to use the YouTube Data API. Furthermore not all videos have the thumbnail images set, so the above method doesn’t work.

Get user info via Google API

If you only want to fetch the Google user id, name and picture for a visitor of your web app - here is my pure PHP service side solution for the year 2020 with no external libraries used -

If you read the Using OAuth 2.0 for Web Server Applications guide by Google (and beware, Google likes to change links to its own documentation), then you have to perform only 2 steps:

  1. Present the visitor a web page asking for the consent to share her name with your web app
  2. Then take the "code" passed by the above web page to your web app and fetch a token (actually 2) from Google.

One of the returned tokens is called "id_token" and contains the user id, name and photo of the visitor.

Here is the PHP code of a web game by me. Initially I was using Javascript SDK, but then I have noticed that fake user data could be passed to my web game, when using client side SDK only (especially the user id, which is important for my game), so I have switched to using PHP on the server side:

<?php

const APP_ID       = '1234567890-abcdefghijklmnop.apps.googleusercontent.com';
const APP_SECRET   = 'abcdefghijklmnopq';

const REDIRECT_URI = 'https://the/url/of/this/PHP/script/';
const LOCATION     = 'Location: https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth?';
const TOKEN_URL    = 'https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token';
const ERROR        = 'error';
const CODE         = 'code';
const STATE        = 'state';
const ID_TOKEN     = 'id_token';

# use a "random" string based on the current date as protection against CSRF
$CSRF_PROTECTION   = md5(date('m.d.y'));

if (isset($_REQUEST[ERROR]) && $_REQUEST[ERROR]) {
    exit($_REQUEST[ERROR]);
}

if (isset($_REQUEST[CODE]) && $_REQUEST[CODE] && $CSRF_PROTECTION == $_REQUEST[STATE]) {
    $tokenRequest = [
        'code'          => $_REQUEST[CODE],
        'client_id'     => APP_ID,
        'client_secret' => APP_SECRET,
        'redirect_uri'  => REDIRECT_URI,
        'grant_type'    => 'authorization_code',
    ];

    $postContext = stream_context_create([
        'http' => [
            'header'  => "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n",
            'method'  => 'POST',
            'content' => http_build_query($tokenRequest)
        ]
    ]);

    # Step #2: send POST request to token URL and decode the returned JWT id_token
    $tokenResult = json_decode(file_get_contents(TOKEN_URL, false, $postContext), true);
    error_log(print_r($tokenResult, true));
    $id_token    = $tokenResult[ID_TOKEN];
    # Beware - the following code does not verify the JWT signature! 
    $userResult  = json_decode(base64_decode(str_replace('_', '/', str_replace('-', '+', explode('.', $id_token)[1]))), true);

    $user_id     = $userResult['sub'];
    $given_name  = $userResult['given_name'];
    $family_name = $userResult['family_name'];
    $photo       = $userResult['picture'];

    if ($user_id != NULL && $given_name != NULL) {
        # print your web app or game here, based on $user_id etc.
        exit();
    }
}

$userConsent = [
    'client_id'     => APP_ID,
    'redirect_uri'  => REDIRECT_URI,
    'response_type' => 'code',
    'scope'         => 'profile',
    'state'         => $CSRF_PROTECTION,
];

# Step #1: redirect user to a the Google page asking for user consent
header(LOCATION . http_build_query($userConsent));

?>

You could use a PHP library to add additional security by verifying the JWT signature. For my purposes it was unnecessary, because I trust that Google will not betray my little web game by sending fake visitor data.

Also, if you want to get more personal data of the visitor, then you need a third step:

const USER_INFO    = 'https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/userinfo?access_token=';
const ACCESS_TOKEN = 'access_token'; 

# Step #3: send GET request to user info URL
$access_token = $tokenResult[ACCESS_TOKEN];
$userResult = json_decode(file_get_contents(USER_INFO . $access_token), true);

Or you could get more permissions on behalf of the user - see the long list at the OAuth 2.0 Scopes for Google APIs doc.

Finally, the APP_ID and APP_SECRET constants used in my code - you get it from the Google API console:

Java Replacing multiple different substring in a string at once (or in the most efficient way)

The below is based on Todd Owen's answer. That solution has the problem that if the replacements contain characters that have special meaning in regular expressions, you can get unexpected results. I also wanted to be able to optionally do a case-insensitive search. Here is what I came up with:

/**
 * Performs simultaneous search/replace of multiple strings. Case Sensitive!
 */
public String replaceMultiple(String target, Map<String, String> replacements) {
  return replaceMultiple(target, replacements, true);
}

/**
 * Performs simultaneous search/replace of multiple strings.
 * 
 * @param target        string to perform replacements on.
 * @param replacements  map where key represents value to search for, and value represents replacem
 * @param caseSensitive whether or not the search is case-sensitive.
 * @return replaced string
 */
public String replaceMultiple(String target, Map<String, String> replacements, boolean caseSensitive) {
  if(target == null || "".equals(target) || replacements == null || replacements.size() == 0)
    return target;

  //if we are doing case-insensitive replacements, we need to make the map case-insensitive--make a new map with all-lower-case keys
  if(!caseSensitive) {
    Map<String, String> altReplacements = new HashMap<String, String>(replacements.size());
    for(String key : replacements.keySet())
      altReplacements.put(key.toLowerCase(), replacements.get(key));

    replacements = altReplacements;
  }

  StringBuilder patternString = new StringBuilder();
  if(!caseSensitive)
    patternString.append("(?i)");

  patternString.append('(');
  boolean first = true;
  for(String key : replacements.keySet()) {
    if(first)
      first = false;
    else
      patternString.append('|');

    patternString.append(Pattern.quote(key));
  }
  patternString.append(')');

  Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(patternString.toString());
  Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(target);

  StringBuffer res = new StringBuffer();
  while(matcher.find()) {
    String match = matcher.group(1);
    if(!caseSensitive)
      match = match.toLowerCase();
    matcher.appendReplacement(res, replacements.get(match));
  }
  matcher.appendTail(res);

  return res.toString();
}

Here are my unit test cases:

@Test
public void replaceMultipleTest() {
  assertNull(ExtStringUtils.replaceMultiple(null, null));
  assertNull(ExtStringUtils.replaceMultiple(null, Collections.<String, String>emptyMap()));
  assertEquals("", ExtStringUtils.replaceMultiple("", null));
  assertEquals("", ExtStringUtils.replaceMultiple("", Collections.<String, String>emptyMap()));

  assertEquals("folks, we are not sane anymore. with me, i promise you, we will burn in flames", ExtStringUtils.replaceMultiple("folks, we are not winning anymore. with me, i promise you, we will win big league", makeMap("win big league", "burn in flames", "winning", "sane")));

  assertEquals("bcaacbbcaacb", ExtStringUtils.replaceMultiple("abccbaabccba", makeMap("a", "b", "b", "c", "c", "a")));
  assertEquals("bcaCBAbcCCBb", ExtStringUtils.replaceMultiple("abcCBAabCCBa", makeMap("a", "b", "b", "c", "c", "a")));
  assertEquals("bcaacbbcaacb", ExtStringUtils.replaceMultiple("abcCBAabCCBa", makeMap("a", "b", "b", "c", "c", "a"), false));

  assertEquals("c colon  backslash temp backslash  star  dot  star ", ExtStringUtils.replaceMultiple("c:\\temp\\*.*", makeMap(".", " dot ", ":", " colon ", "\\", " backslash ", "*", " star "), false));
}

private Map<String, String> makeMap(String ... vals) {
  Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>(vals.length / 2);
  for(int i = 1; i < vals.length; i+= 2)
    map.put(vals[i-1], vals[i]);
  return map;
}

How to create a GUID in Excel?

The formula for French Excel:

=CONCATENER(
DECHEX(ALEA.ENTRE.BORNES(0;4294967295);8);"-";
DECHEX(ALEA.ENTRE.BORNES(0;42949);4);"-";
DECHEX(ALEA.ENTRE.BORNES(0;42949);4);"-";
DECHEX(ALEA.ENTRE.BORNES(0;42949);4);"-";
DECHEX(ALEA.ENTRE.BORNES(0;4294967295);8);
DECHEX(ALEA.ENTRE.BORNES(0;42949);4))

As noted by Josh M, this does not provide a compliant GUID however, but this works well for my current need.

SOAP PHP fault parsing WSDL: failed to load external entity?

If anyone has the same problem, one possible solution is to set the bindto stream context configuration parameter (assuming you're connecting from 11.22.33.44 to 55.66.77.88):

$context = [
    'socket' => [
        'bindto' => '55.66.77.88'
    ]
];

$options = [
    'soapVersion' => SOAP_1_1,
    'stream_context' => stream_context_create($context)
];

$client = new Client('11.22.33.44', $options);

JavaScript string and number conversion

Below is a very irritating example of how JavaScript can get you into trouble:

If you just try to use parseInt() to convert to number and then add another number to the result it will concatenate two strings.

However, you can solve the problem by placing the sum expression in parentheses as shown in the example below.

Result: Their age sum is: 98; Their age sum is NOT: 5048

_x000D_
<!DOCTYPE html>_x000D_
<html>_x000D_
<body>_x000D_
_x000D_
<p id="demo"></p>_x000D_
_x000D_
<script>_x000D_
function Person(first, last, age, eye) {_x000D_
    this.firstName = first;_x000D_
    this.lastName = last;_x000D_
    this.age = age;_x000D_

Using "If cell contains" in VBA excel

Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)

If Not Intersect(Target, Range("C6:ZZ6")) Is Nothing Then

    If InStr(UCase(Target.Value), "TOTAL") > 0 Then
        Target.Offset(1, 0) = "-"
    End If

End If

End Sub

This will allow you to add columns dynamically and automatically insert a dash underneath any columns in the C row after 6 containing case insensitive "Total". Note: If you go past ZZ6, you will need to change the code, but this should get you where you need to go.

Downloading a picture via urllib and python

    opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy_support)
    urllib2.install_opener(opener)
    urlReader = urllib2.urlopen( myUrl ).read() 
    with open( fullJpegPathAndName, "w" ) as f:
      f.write( urlReader )

Passing an array as an argument to a function in C

Passing a multidimensional array as argument to a function. Passing an one dim array as argument is more or less trivial. Let's take a look on more interesting case of passing a 2 dim array. In C you can't use a pointer to pointer construct (int **) instead of 2 dim array. Let's make an example:

void assignZeros(int(*arr)[5], const int rows) {
    for (int i = 0; i < rows; i++) {
        for (int j = 0; j < 5; j++) {
            *(*(arr + i) + j) = 0;
            // or equivalent assignment
            arr[i][j] = 0;
        }
    }

Here I have specified a function that takes as first argument a pointer to an array of 5 integers. I can pass as argument any 2 dim array that has 5 columns:

int arr1[1][5]
int arr1[2][5]
...
int arr1[20][5]
...

You may come to an idea to define a more general function that can accept any 2 dim array and change the function signature as follows:

void assignZeros(int ** arr, const int rows, const int cols) {
    for (int i = 0; i < rows; i++) {
        for (int j = 0; j < cols; j++) {
            *(*(arr + i) + j) = 0;
        }
    }
}

This code would compile but you will get a runtime error when trying to assign the values in the same way as in the first function. So in C a multidimensional arrays are not the same as pointers to pointers ... to pointers. An int(*arr)[5] is a pointer to array of 5 elements, an int(*arr)[6] is a pointer to array of 6 elements, and they are a pointers to different types!

Well, how to define functions arguments for higher dimensions? Simple, we just follow the pattern! Here is the same function adjusted to take an array of 3 dimensions:

void assignZeros2(int(*arr)[4][5], const int dim1, const int dim2, const int dim3) {
    for (int i = 0; i < dim1; i++) {
        for (int j = 0; j < dim2; j++) {
            for (int k = 0; k < dim3; k++) {
                *(*(*(arr + i) + j) + k) = 0;
                // or equivalent assignment
                arr[i][j][k] = 0;
            }
        }
    }
}

How you would expect, it can take as argument any 3 dim arrays that have in the second dimensions 4 elements and in the third dimension 5 elements. Anything like this would be OK:

arr[1][4][5]
arr[2][4][5]
...
arr[10][4][5]
...

But we have to specify all dimensions sizes up to the first one.

What does API level mean?

This actually sums it up pretty nicely.

API Levels generally mean that as a programmer, you can communicate with the devices' built in functions and functionality. As the API level increases, functionality adds up (although some of it can get deprecated).

Choosing an API level for an application development should take at least two thing into account:

  1. Current distribution - How many devices can actually support my application, if it was developed for API level 9, it cannot run on API level 8 and below, then "only" around 60% of devices can run it (true to the date this post was made).
  2. Choosing a lower API level may support more devices but gain less functionality for your app. you may also work harder to achieve features you could've easily gained if you chose higher API level.

Android API levels can be divided to five main groups (not scientific, but what the heck):

  1. Android 1.5 - 2.3 (Cupcake to Gingerbread) - (API levels 3-10) - Android made specifically for smartphones.

Regular Expression - 2 letters and 2 numbers in C#

You're missing an ending anchor.

if(Regex.IsMatch(myString, "^[A-Za-z]{2}[0-9]{2}\z")) {
    // ...
}

Here's a demo.


EDIT: If you can have anything between an initial 2 letters and a final 2 numbers:

if(Regex.IsMatch(myString, @"^[A-Za-z]{2}.*\d{2}\z")) {
    // ...
}

Here's a demo.

How to install XCODE in windows 7 platform?

X-code is primarily made for OS-X or iPhone development on Mac systems. Versions for Windows are not available. However this might help!

There is no way to get Xcode on Windows; however you can use a different SDK like Corona instead although it will not use Objective-C (I believe it uses Lua). I have however heard that it is horrible to use.

What is the best way to add options to a select from a JavaScript object with jQuery?

Actually, for getting the improved performance, it's better to make option list separately and append to select id.

var options = [];
$.each(selectValues, function(key, value) {
    options.push ($('<option>', { value : key })
          .text(value));
});
 $('#mySelect').append(options);

Laravel redirect back to original destination after login

For Laravel 5.2 (previous versions I did not use)

Paste the code into the file app\Http\Controllers\Auth\AurhController.php

   /**
 * Overrides method in class 'AuthenticatesUsers'
 *
 * @return \Illuminate\Contracts\View\Factory|\Illuminate\View\View
 */
public function showLoginForm()
{
    $view = property_exists($this, 'loginView')
        ? $this->loginView : 'auth.authenticate';
    if (view()->exists($view)) {
        return view($view);
    }
    /**
     * seve the previous page in the session
     */
    $previous_url = Session::get('_previous.url');
    $ref = isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']) ? $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] : '';
    $ref = rtrim($ref, '/');
    if ($previous_url != url('login')) {
        Session::put('referrer', $ref);
        if ($previous_url == $ref) {
            Session::put('url.intended', $ref);
        }
    }
    /**
     * seve the previous page in the session
     * end
     */
    return view('auth.login');
}
/**
 * Overrides method in class 'AuthenticatesUsers'
 *
 * @param Request $request
 * @param $throttles
 *
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse
 */
protected function handleUserWasAuthenticated(Request $request, $throttles)
{
    if ($throttles) {
        $this->clearLoginAttempts($request);
    }
    if (method_exists($this, 'authenticated')) {
        return $this->authenticated($request, Auth::guard($this->getGuard())->user());
    }
    /*return to the previous page*/
    return redirect()->intended(Session::pull('referrer'));
    /*return redirect()->intended($this->redirectPath()); /*Larevel default*/
}

And import namespace: use Session;

If you have not made any changes to the file app\Http\Controllers\Auth\AurhController.php, you can just replace it with the file from the GitHub

TSQL DATETIME ISO 8601

If you just need to output the date in ISO8601 format including the trailing Z and you are on at least SQL Server 2012, then you may use FORMAT:

SELECT FORMAT(GetUtcDate(),'yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ')

This will give you something like:

2016-02-18T21:34:14Z

Just as @Pxtl points out in a comment FORMAT may have performance implications, a cost that has to be considered compared to any flexibility it brings.

Return outside function error in Python

As already explained by the other contributers, you could print out the counter and then replace the return with a break statement.

N = int(input("enter a positive integer:"))
counter = 1
while (N > 0):
    counter = counter * N
    N = N - 1
    print(counter)
    break

bash string compare to multiple correct values

As @Renich suggests (but with an important typo that has not been fixed unfortunately), you can also use extended globbing for pattern matching. So you can use the same patterns you use to match files in command arguments (e.g. ls *.pdf) inside of bash comparisons.

For your particular case you can do the following.

if [[ "${cms}" != @(wordpress|magento|typo3) ]]

The @ means "Matches one of the given patterns". So this is basically saying cms is not equal to 'wordpress' OR 'magento' OR 'typo3'. In normal regular expression syntax @ is similar to just ^(wordpress|magento|typo3)$.

Mitch Frazier has two good articles in the Linux Journal on this Pattern Matching In Bash and Bash Extended Globbing.

For more background on extended globbing see Pattern Matching (Bash Reference Manual).

How can a query multiply 2 cell for each row MySQL?

PHP session lost after redirect

First, carry out these usual checks:

  1. Make sure session_start(); is called before any sessions are being called. So a safe bet would be to put it at the beginning of your page, immediately after the opening <?php declaration before anything else. Also ensure there are no whitespaces/tabs before the opening <?php declaration.
  2. After the header redirect, end the current script using exit(); (Others have also suggested session_write_close(); and session_regenerate_id(true), you can try those as well, but I'd use exit();)
  3. Make sure cookies are enabled in the browser you are using to test it on.
  4. Ensure register_globals is off, you can check this on the php.ini file and also using phpinfo(). Refer to this as to how to turn it off.
  5. Make sure you didn't delete or empty the session
  6. Make sure the key in your $_SESSION superglobal array is not overwritten anywhere
  7. Make sure you redirect to the same domain. So redirecting from a www.yourdomain.com to yourdomain.com doesn't carry the session forward.
  8. Make sure your file extension is .php (it happens!)

Now, these are the most common mistakes, but if they didn't do the trick, the problem is most likely to do with your hosting company. If everything works on localhost but not on your remote/testing server, then this is most likely the culprit. So check the knowledge base of your hosting provider (also try their forums etc). For companies like FatCow and iPage, they require you to specify session_save_path. So like this:

session_save_path('"your home directory path"/cgi-bin/tmp');
session_start();

(replace "your home directory path" with your actual home directory path. This is usually within your control panel (or equivalent), but you can also create a test.php file on your root directory and type:

<?php echo $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']; ?>

The bit before 'test.php' is your home directory path. And of course, make sure that the folder actually exists within your root directory. (Some programs do not upload empty folders when synchronizing)

Basic example of using .ajax() with JSONP?

There is even easier way how to work with JSONP using jQuery

$.getJSON("http://example.com/something.json?callback=?", function(result){
   //response data are now in the result variable
   alert(result);
});

The ? on the end of the URL tells jQuery that it is a JSONP request instead of JSON. jQuery registers and calls the callback function automatically.

For more detail refer to the jQuery.getJSON documentation.

TSQL Default Minimum DateTime

"Perhaps I should leave it null"

Don't use magic numbers - it's bad practice - if you don't have a value leave it null

Otherwise if you really want a default date - use one of the other techniques posted to set a default date

SQL Server reports 'Invalid column name', but the column is present and the query works through management studio

I eventually shut-down and restarted Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio; and that fixed it for me. But at other times, just starting a new query window was enough.

Python: Assign Value if None Exists

You should initialize variables to None and then check it:

var1 = None
if var1 is None:
    var1 = 4

Which can be written in one line as:

var1 = 4 if var1 is None else var1

or using shortcut (but checking against None is recommended)

var1 = var1 or 4

alternatively if you will not have anything assigned to variable that variable name doesn't exist and hence using that later will raise NameError, and you can also use that knowledge to do something like this

try:
    var1
except NameError:
    var1 = 4

but I would advise against that.

Git list of staged files

You can Try using :- git ls-files -s

Is 'bool' a basic datatype in C++?

Yes, bool is a built-in type.

WIN32 is C code, not C++, and C does not have a bool, so they provide their own typedef BOOL.

.keyCode vs. .which

In Firefox, the keyCode property does not work on the onkeypress event (will only return 0). For a cross-browser solution, use the which property together with keyCode, e.g:

var x = event.which || event.keyCode;  // Use either which or keyCode, depending on browser support

what is an illegal reflective access

Just look at setAccessible() method used to access private fields and methods:

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/reflect/AccessibleObject.html#setAccessible-boolean-

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/docs/api/java/lang/reflect/AccessibleObject.html#setAccessible-boolean-

Now there is a lot more conditions required for this method to work. The only reason it doesn't break almost all of older software is that modules autogenerated from plain JARs are very permissive (open and export everything for everyone).

How to display a list of images in a ListView in Android?

File name should match the layout id which in this example is : items_list_item.xml in the layout folder of your application

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    >  

<ImageView android:id="@+id/R.id.list_item_image"
  android:layout_width="100dip"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content" />  
</LinearLayout>

Remove all newlines from inside a string

strip() returns the string after removing leading and trailing whitespace. see doc

In your case, you may want to try replace():

Pandas groupby: How to get a union of strings

In [4]: df = read_csv(StringIO(data),sep='\s+')

In [5]: df
Out[5]: 
   A         B       C
0  1  0.749065    This
1  2  0.301084      is
2  3  0.463468       a
3  4  0.643961  random
4  1  0.866521  string
5  2  0.120737       !

In [6]: df.dtypes
Out[6]: 
A      int64
B    float64
C     object
dtype: object

When you apply your own function, there is not automatic exclusions of non-numeric columns. This is slower, though, than the application of .sum() to the groupby

In [8]: df.groupby('A').apply(lambda x: x.sum())
Out[8]: 
   A         B           C
A

3  3  0.463468           a
4  4  0.643961      random

sum by default concatenates

In [9]: df.groupby('A')['C'].apply(lambda x: x.sum())
Out[9]: 
A
1    Thisstring
2           is!
3             a
4        random

You can do pretty much what you want

In [11]: df.groupby('A')['C'].apply(lambda x: "{%s}" % ', '.join(x))
Out[11]: 
A
1    {This, string}
2           {is, !}
3               {a}
4          {random}
dtype: object

Doing this on a whole frame, one group at a time. Key is to return a Series

def f(x):
     return Series(dict(A = x['A'].sum(), 
                        B = x['B'].sum(), 
                        C = "{%s}" % ', '.join(x['C'])))

In [14]: df.groupby('A').apply(f)
Out[14]: 
   A         B               C

How to copy from CSV file to PostgreSQL table with headers in CSV file?

I have been using this function for a while with no problems. You just need to provide the number columns there are in the csv file, and it will take the header names from the first row and create the table for you:

create or replace function data.load_csv_file
    (
        target_table  text, -- name of the table that will be created
        csv_file_path text,
        col_count     integer
    )

    returns void

as $$

declare
    iter      integer; -- dummy integer to iterate columns with
    col       text; -- to keep column names in each iteration
    col_first text; -- first column name, e.g., top left corner on a csv file or spreadsheet

begin
    set schema 'data';

    create table temp_table ();

    -- add just enough number of columns
    for iter in 1..col_count
    loop
        execute format ('alter table temp_table add column col_%s text;', iter);
    end loop;

    -- copy the data from csv file
    execute format ('copy temp_table from %L with delimiter '','' quote ''"'' csv ', csv_file_path);

    iter := 1;
    col_first := (select col_1
                  from temp_table
                  limit 1);

    -- update the column names based on the first row which has the column names
    for col in execute format ('select unnest(string_to_array(trim(temp_table::text, ''()''), '','')) from temp_table where col_1 = %L', col_first)
    loop
        execute format ('alter table temp_table rename column col_%s to %s', iter, col);
        iter := iter + 1;
    end loop;

    -- delete the columns row // using quote_ident or %I does not work here!?
    execute format ('delete from temp_table where %s = %L', col_first, col_first);

    -- change the temp table name to the name given as parameter, if not blank
    if length (target_table) > 0 then
        execute format ('alter table temp_table rename to %I', target_table);
    end if;
end;

Check if Internet Connection Exists with jQuery?

The best option for your specific case might be:

Right before your close </body> tag:

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>window.jQuery || document.write('<script src="js/vendor/jquery-1.10.2.min.js"><\/script>')</script>

This is probably the easiest way given that your issue is centered around jQuery.

If you wanted a more robust solution you could try:

var online = navigator.onLine;

Read more about the W3C's spec on offline web apps, however be aware that this will work best in modern web browsers, doing so with older web browsers may not work as expected, or at all.

Alternatively, an XHR request to your own server isn't that bad of a method for testing your connectivity. Considering one of the other answers state that there are too many points of failure for an XHR, if your XHR is flawed when establishing it's connection then it'll also be flawed during routine use anyhow. If your site is unreachable for any reason, then your other services running on the same servers will likely be unreachable also. That decision is up to you.

I wouldn't recommend making an XHR request to someone else's service, even google.com for that matter. Make the request to your server, or not at all.

What does it mean to be "online"?

There seems to be some confusion around what being "online" means. Consider that the internet is a bunch of networks, however sometimes you're on a VPN, without access to the internet "at-large" or the world wide web. Often companies have their own networks which have limited connectivity to other external networks, therefore you could be considered "online". Being online only entails that you are connected to a network, not the availability nor reachability of the services you are trying to connect to.

To determine if a host is reachable from your network, you could do this:

function hostReachable() {

  // Handle IE and more capable browsers
  var xhr = new ( window.ActiveXObject || XMLHttpRequest )( "Microsoft.XMLHTTP" );

  // Open new request as a HEAD to the root hostname with a random param to bust the cache
  xhr.open( "HEAD", "//" + window.location.hostname + "/?rand=" + Math.floor((1 + Math.random()) * 0x10000), false );

  // Issue request and handle response
  try {
    xhr.send();
    return ( xhr.status >= 200 && (xhr.status < 300 || xhr.status === 304) );
  } catch (error) {
    return false;
  }

}

You can also find the Gist for that here: https://gist.github.com/jpsilvashy/5725579

Details on local implementation

Some people have commented, "I'm always being returned false". That's because you're probably testing it out on your local server. Whatever server you're making the request to, you'll need to be able to respond to the HEAD request, that of course can be changed to a GET if you want.

How to get mouse position in jQuery without mouse-events?

You can't read mouse position in jQuery without using an event. Note firstly that the event.pageX and event.pageY properties exists on any event, so you could do:

$('#myEl').click(function(e) {
    console.log(e.pageX);
});

Your other option is to use a closure to give your whole code access to a variable that is updated by a mousemove handler:

var mouseX, mouseY;
$(document).mousemove(function(e) {
    mouseX = e.pageX;
    mouseY = e.pageY;
}).mouseover(); // call the handler immediately

// do something with mouseX and mouseY

PHP Warning: POST Content-Length of 8978294 bytes exceeds the limit of 8388608 bytes in Unknown on line 0

Apply CSS style attribute dynamically in Angular JS

On a generic note, you can use a combination of ng-if and ng-style incorporate conditional changes with change in background image.

<span ng-if="selectedItem==item.id"
      ng-style="{'background-image':'url(../images/'+'{{item.id}}'+'_active.png)',
                'background-size':'52px 57px',
                'padding-top':'70px',
                'background-repeat':'no-repeat',
                'background-position': 'center'}">
 </span>
 <span ng-if="selectedItem!=item.id"
       ng-style="{'background-image':'url(../images/'+'{{item.id}}'+'_deactivated.png)',
                'background-size':'52px 57px',
                'padding-top':'70px',
                'background-repeat':'no-repeat',
                'background-position': 'center'}">
 </span>

How do a send an HTTPS request through a proxy in Java?

HTTPS proxy doesn't make sense because you can't terminate your HTTP connection at the proxy for security reasons. With your trust policy, it might work if the proxy server has a HTTPS port. Your error is caused by connecting to HTTP proxy port with HTTPS.

You can connect through a proxy using SSL tunneling (many people call that proxy) using proxy CONNECT command. However, Java doesn't support newer version of proxy tunneling. In that case, you need to handle the tunneling yourself. You can find sample code here,

http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/javatips/jw-javatip111.html

EDIT: If you want defeat all the security measures in JSSE, you still need your own TrustManager. Something like this,

 public SSLTunnelSocketFactory(String proxyhost, String proxyport){
      tunnelHost = proxyhost;
      tunnelPort = Integer.parseInt(proxyport);
      dfactory = (SSLSocketFactory)sslContext.getSocketFactory();
 }

 ...

 connection.setSSLSocketFactory( new SSLTunnelSocketFactory( proxyHost, proxyPort ) );
 connection.setDefaultHostnameVerifier( new HostnameVerifier()
 {
    public boolean verify( String arg0, SSLSession arg1 )
    {
        return true;
    }
 }  );

EDIT 2: I just tried my program I wrote a few years ago using SSLTunnelSocketFactory and it doesn't work either. Apparently, Sun introduced a new bug sometime in Java 5. See this bug report,

http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=6614957

The good news is that the SSL tunneling bug is fixed so you can just use the default factory. I just tried with a proxy and everything works as expected. See my code,

public class SSLContextTest {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        System.setProperty("https.proxyHost", "proxy.xxx.com");
        System.setProperty("https.proxyPort", "8888");

        try {

            SSLContext sslContext = SSLContext.getInstance("SSL");

            // set up a TrustManager that trusts everything
            sslContext.init(null, new TrustManager[] { new X509TrustManager() {
                public X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers() {
                    System.out.println("getAcceptedIssuers =============");
                    return null;
                }

                public void checkClientTrusted(X509Certificate[] certs,
                        String authType) {
                    System.out.println("checkClientTrusted =============");
                }

                public void checkServerTrusted(X509Certificate[] certs,
                        String authType) {
                    System.out.println("checkServerTrusted =============");
                }
            } }, new SecureRandom());

            HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultSSLSocketFactory(
                    sslContext.getSocketFactory());

            HttpsURLConnection
                    .setDefaultHostnameVerifier(new HostnameVerifier() {
                        public boolean verify(String arg0, SSLSession arg1) {
                            System.out.println("hostnameVerifier =============");
                            return true;
                        }
                    });

            URL url = new URL("https://www.verisign.net");
            URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
            BufferedReader reader = 
                new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
            String line;
            while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
                System.out.println(line);
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } 
    }
}

This is what I get when I run the program,

checkServerTrusted =============
hostnameVerifier =============
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
......

As you can see, both SSLContext and hostnameVerifier are getting called. HostnameVerifier is only involved when the hostname doesn't match the cert. I used "www.verisign.net" to trigger this.

Does JavaScript guarantee object property order?

Just found this out the hard way.

Using React with Redux, the state container of which's keys I want to traverse in order to generate children is refreshed everytime the store is changed (as per Redux's immutability concepts).

Thus, in order to take Object.keys(valueFromStore) I used Object.keys(valueFromStore).sort(), so that I at least now have an alphabetical order for the keys.

Should Jquery code go in header or footer?

Most jquery code executes on document ready, which doesn't happen until the end of the page anyway. Furthermore, page rendering can be delayed by javascript parsing/execution, so it's best practice to put all javascript at the bottom of the page.

Collections sort(List<T>,Comparator<? super T>) method example

This might be simplest way -

Collections.sort(listOfStudent,new Comparator<Student>(){
                     public int compare(Student s1,Student s2){
                           // Write your logic here.
                     }});

Using Java 8(lambda expression) -

listOfStudent.sort((s1, s2) -> s1.age - s2.age); 

Hiding elements in responsive layout?

For Bootstrap 4.0 beta (and I assume this will stay for final) there is a change - be aware that the hidden classes were removed.

See the docs: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/utilities/display/

In order to hide the content on mobile and display on the bigger devices you have to use the following classes:

d-none d-sm-block

The first class set display none all across devices and the second one display it for devices "sm" up (you could use md, lg, etc. instead of sm if you want to show on different devices.

I suggest to read about that before migration:

https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/migration/#responsive-utilities

PDO support for multiple queries (PDO_MYSQL, PDO_MYSQLND)

As I know, PDO_MYSQLND replaced PDO_MYSQL in PHP 5.3. Confusing part is that name is still PDO_MYSQL. So now ND is default driver for MySQL+PDO.

Overall, to execute multiple queries at once you need:

  • PHP 5.3+
  • mysqlnd
  • Emulated prepared statements. Make sure PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES is set to 1 (default). Alternatively you can avoid using prepared statements and use $pdo->exec directly.

Using exec

$db = new PDO("mysql:host=localhost;dbname=test", 'root', '');

// works regardless of statements emulation
$db->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES, 0);

$sql = "
DELETE FROM car; 
INSERT INTO car(name, type) VALUES ('car1', 'coupe'); 
INSERT INTO car(name, type) VALUES ('car2', 'coupe');
";

$db->exec($sql);

Using statements

$db = new PDO("mysql:host=localhost;dbname=test", 'root', '');

// works not with the following set to 0. You can comment this line as 1 is default
$db->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES, 1);

$sql = "
DELETE FROM car; 
INSERT INTO car(name, type) VALUES ('car1', 'coupe'); 
INSERT INTO car(name, type) VALUES ('car2', 'coupe');
";

$stmt = $db->prepare($sql);
$stmt->execute();

A note:

When using emulated prepared statements, make sure you have set proper encoding (that reflects actual data encoding) in DSN (available since 5.3.6). Otherwise there can be a slight possibility for SQL injection if some odd encoding is used.

initialize a const array in a class initializer in C++

Like the others said, ISO C++ doesn't support that. But you can workaround it. Just use std::vector instead.

int* a = new int[N];
// fill a

class C {
  const std::vector<int> v;
public:
  C():v(a, a+N) {}
};

Alternative for frames in html5 using iframes

Frames have been deprecated because they caused trouble for url navigation and hyperlinking, because the url would just take to you the index page (with the frameset) and there was no way to specify what was in each of the frame windows. Today, webpages are often generated by server-side technologies such as PHP, ASP.NET, Ruby etc. So instead of using frames, pages can simply be generated by merging a template with content like this:

Template File

<html>
<head>
<title>{insert script variable for title}</title>
</head>

<body>
  <div class="menu">
   {menu items inserted here by server-side scripting}
  </div>
  <div class="main-content">
   {main content inserted here by server-side scripting}
  </div>
</body>
</html>

If you don't have full support for a server-side scripting language, you could also use server-side includes (SSI). This will allow you to do the same thing--i.e. generate a single web page from multiple source documents.

But if you really just want to have a section of your webpage be a separate "window" into which you can load other webpages that are not necessarily located on your own server, you will have to use an iframe.

You could emulate your example like this:

Frames Example

<html>
<head>
  <title>Frames Test</title>
  <style>
   .menu {
      float:left;
      width:20%;
      height:80%;
    }
    .mainContent {
      float:left;
      width:75%;
      height:80%;
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <iframe class="menu" src="menu.html"></iframe>
  <iframe class="mainContent" src="events.html"></iframe>
</body>
</html>

There are probably better ways to achieve the layout. I've used the CSS float attribute, but you could use tables or other methods as well.

What is the difference between statically typed and dynamically typed languages?

Sweet and simple definitions, but fitting the need: Statically typed languages binds the type to a variable for its entire scope (Seg: SCALA) Dynamically typed languages bind the type to the actual value referenced by a variable.

Change the borderColor of the TextBox

This is an ultimate solution to set the border color of a TextBox:

public class BorderedTextBox : UserControl
{
    TextBox textBox;

    public BorderedTextBox()
    {
        textBox = new TextBox()
        {
            BorderStyle = BorderStyle.FixedSingle,
            Location = new Point(-1, -1),
            Anchor = AnchorStyles.Top | AnchorStyles.Bottom |
                     AnchorStyles.Left | AnchorStyles.Right
        };
        Control container = new ContainerControl()
        {
            Dock = DockStyle.Fill,
            Padding = new Padding(-1)
        };
        container.Controls.Add(textBox);
        this.Controls.Add(container);

        DefaultBorderColor = SystemColors.ControlDark;
        FocusedBorderColor = Color.Red;
        BackColor = DefaultBorderColor;
        Padding = new Padding(1);
        Size = textBox.Size;
    }

    public Color DefaultBorderColor { get; set; }
    public Color FocusedBorderColor { get; set; }

    public override string Text
    {
        get { return textBox.Text; }
        set { textBox.Text = value; }
    }

    protected override void OnEnter(EventArgs e)
    {
        BackColor = FocusedBorderColor;
        base.OnEnter(e);
    }

    protected override void OnLeave(EventArgs e)
    {
        BackColor = DefaultBorderColor;
        base.OnLeave(e);
    }

    protected override void SetBoundsCore(int x, int y,
        int width, int height, BoundsSpecified specified)
    {
        base.SetBoundsCore(x, y, width, textBox.PreferredHeight, specified);
    }
}

File path issues in R using Windows ("Hex digits in character string" error)

Please do not mark this response as correct as smitec has already answered correctly. I'm including a convenience function I keep in my .First library that makes converting a windows path to the format that works in R (the methods described by Sacha Epskamp). Simply copy the path to your clipboard (ctrl + c) and then run the function as pathPrep(). No need for an argument. The path is printed to your console correctly and written to your clipboard for easy pasting to a script. Hope this is helpful.

pathPrep <- function(path = "clipboard") {
    y <- if (path == "clipboard") {
        readClipboard()
    } else {
        cat("Please enter the path:\n\n")
        readline()
    }
    x <- chartr("\\", "/", y)
    writeClipboard(x)
    return(x)
}

What's the key difference between HTML 4 and HTML 5?

HTML5 introduces a number of APIs that help in creating Web applications. These can be used together with the new elements introduced for applications:

  • An API for playing of video and audio which can be used with the new video and audio elements.
  • An API that enables offline Web applications.
  • An API that allows a Web application to register itself for certain protocols or media types.
  • An editing API in combination with a new global contenteditable attribute.
  • A drag & drop API in combination with a draggable attribute.
  • An API that exposes the history and allows pages to add to it to prevent breaking the back button.

SQL Server 2005 Using CHARINDEX() To split a string

Here's a little function that will do "NATO encoding" for you:

CREATE FUNCTION dbo.NATOEncode (

   L4 (N) AS (SELECT 1 FROM L3, L3 B),
   L5 (N) AS (SELECT 1 FROM L4, L4 C),
   L6 (N) AS (SELECT 1 FROM L5, L5 C),
   Nums (Num) AS (SELECT Row_Number() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT 1)) FROM L6)
   SELECT
      NATOString = Substring((
         SELECT
            Convert(varchar(max), ' ' + D.Word)
         FROM
            Nums N
            INNER JOIN (VALUES
               ('A', 'Alpha'),
               ('B', 'Beta'),
               ('C', 'Charlie'),
               ('D', 'Delta'),

               ('F', 'Foxtrot'),
               ('G', 'Golf'),
               ('H', 'Hotel'),

               ('N', 'November'),
               ('O', 'Oscar'),
               ('P', 'Papa'),
               ('Q', 'Quebec'),
               ('R', 'Romeo'),
               ('S', 'Sierra'),
               ('T', 'Tango'),
               ('U', 'Uniform'),
               ('V', 'Victor'),
               ('W', 'Whiskey'),
               ('X', 'X-Ray'),
               ('Y', 'Yankee'),
               ('Z', 'Zulu'),
               ('0', 'Zero'),
               ('1', 'One'),
               ('2', 'Two'),

            ) D (Digit, Word)
               ON Substring(@String, N.Num, 1) = D.Digit
         WHERE
            N.Num <= Len(@String)
         FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE
      ).value('.[1]', 'varchar(max)'), 2, 2147483647)
);

This function will work on even very long strings, and performs pretty well (I ran it against a 100,000-character string and it returned in 589 ms). Here's an example of how to use it:

SELECT NATOString FROM dbo.NATOEncode('LD-23DSP-1430');
-- Output: Lima Delta Two Three Delta Sierra Papa One Four Three Zero

I intentionally made it a table-valued function so it could be inlined into a query if you run it against many rows at once, just use CROSS APPLY or wrap the above example in parentheses to use it as a value in the SELECT clause (you can put a column name in the function parameter position).

Jboss server error : Failed to start service jboss.deployment.unit."jbpm-console.war"

I had a similar issue, my error was:

Caused by: org.jboss.as.server.deployment.DeploymentUnitProcessingException: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:org.glassfish.jersey.servlet.ServletContainer from [Module "deployment.RESTful_Services_CRUD.war:main" from Service Module Loader]

I use jboss and glassfish so I changed the web.xml to the following:

<servlet-class>org.apache.catalina.servlets.DefaultServlet</servlet-class>

Instead of:

<servlet-class>org.glassfish.jersey.servlet.ServletContainer</servlet-class>

Hope this work for you.

Setting a timeout for socket operations

You could use the following solution:

SocketAddress sockaddr = new InetSocketAddress(ip, port);
// Create your socket
Socket socket = new Socket();
// Connect with 10 s timeout
socket.connect(sockaddr, 10000);

Hope it helps!

Make Frequency Histogram for Factor Variables

The reason you are getting the unexpected result is that hist(...) calculates the distribution from a numeric vector. In your code, table(animalFactor) behaves like a numeric vector with three elements: 1, 3, 7. So hist(...) plots the number of 1's (1), the number of 3's (1), and the number of 7's (1). @Roland's solution is the simplest.

Here's a way to do this using ggplot:

library(ggplot2)
ggp <- ggplot(data.frame(animals),aes(x=animals))
# counts
ggp + geom_histogram(fill="lightgreen")
# proportion
ggp + geom_histogram(fill="lightblue",aes(y=..count../sum(..count..)))

You would get precisely the same result using animalFactor instead of animals in the code above.

Create a function with optional call variables

I don't think your question is very clear, this code assumes that if you're going to include the -domain parameter, it's always 'named' (i.e. dostuff computername arg2 -domain domain); this also makes the computername parameter mandatory.

Function DoStuff(){
    param(
        [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][string]$computername,
        [Parameter(Mandatory=$false)][string]$arg2,
        [Parameter(Mandatory=$false)][string]$domain
    )
    if(!($domain)){
        $domain = 'domain1'
    }
    write-host $domain
    if($arg2){
        write-host "arg2 present... executing script block"
    }
    else{
        write-host "arg2 missing... exiting or whatever"
    }
}

Convert a Unicode string to a string in Python (containing extra symbols)

You can use encode to ASCII if you don't need to translate the non-ASCII characters:

>>> type(a)

>>> a.encode('ascii','ignore')
'aaa'
>>> a.encode('ascii','replace')
'aaa???????'
>>>

and Save then Drag and drop TotalCount this field in header/footer. After you open the "count" bracket you can drop your column there from the above section.See the example in the Pictureenter image description here

C# Parsing JSON array of objects

Use NewtonSoft JSON.Net library.

dynamic obj = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(jsonString);

Hope this helps.

Reading file input from a multipart/form-data POST

Another way would be to use .Net parser for HttpRequest. To do that you need to use a bit of reflection and simple class for WorkerRequest.

First create class that derives from HttpWorkerRequest (for simplicity you can use SimpleWorkerRequest):

public class MyWorkerRequest : SimpleWorkerRequest
{
    private readonly string _size;
    private readonly Stream _data;
    private string _contentType;

    public MyWorkerRequest(Stream data, string size, string contentType)
        : base("/app", @"c:\", "aa", "", null)
    {
        _size = size ?? data.Length.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
        _data = data;
        _contentType = contentType;
    }

    public override string GetKnownRequestHeader(int index)
    {
        switch (index)
        {
            case (int)HttpRequestHeader.ContentLength:
                return _size;
            case (int)HttpRequestHeader.ContentType:
                return _contentType;
        }
        return base.GetKnownRequestHeader(index);
    }

    public override int ReadEntityBody(byte[] buffer, int offset, int size)
    {
        return _data.Read(buffer, offset, size);
    }

    public override int ReadEntityBody(byte[] buffer, int size)
    {
        return ReadEntityBody(buffer, 0, size);
    }
}

Then wherever you have you message stream create and instance of this class. I'm doing it like that in WCF Service:

[WebInvoke(Method = "POST",
               ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json,
               BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Bare)]
    public string Upload(Stream data)
    {
        HttpWorkerRequest workerRequest =
            new MyWorkerRequest(data,
                                WebOperationContext.Current.IncomingRequest.ContentLength.
                                    ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture),
                                WebOperationContext.Current.IncomingRequest.ContentType
                );

And then create HttpRequest using activator and non public constructor

var r = (HttpRequest)Activator.CreateInstance(
            typeof(HttpRequest),
            BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic,
            null,
            new object[]
                {
                    workerRequest,
                    new HttpContext(workerRequest)
                },
            null);

var runtimeField = typeof (HttpRuntime).GetField("_theRuntime", BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
if (runtimeField == null)
{
    return;
}

var runtime = (HttpRuntime) runtimeField.GetValue(null);
if (runtime == null)
{
    return;
}

var codeGenDirField = typeof(HttpRuntime).GetField("_codegenDir", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
if (codeGenDirField == null)
{
    return;
}

codeGenDirField.SetValue(runtime, @"C:\MultipartTemp");

After that in r.Files you will have files from your stream.

Microsoft.WebApplication.targets was not found, on the build server. What's your solution?

If you are using MSBuild, as in the case of a build server, what worked for me is:

Change the following:

<Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v9.0\WebApplications\Microsoft.WebApplication.targets" />
<Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v9.0\WebApplications\Microsoft.WebApplication.targets" Condition="false" />

to:

<Import Project="$(MSBuildBinPath)\Microsoft.VisualBasic.targets" />
<Import Project="$(VSToolsPath)\WebApplications\Microsoft.WebApplication.targets" Condition="'$(VSToolsPath)' != ''" />

My Msbuild command is: *"C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\Bin\MSBuild.exe" solution.sln /p:Configuration=Debug /p:Platform="Any CPU"*

Clearing my form inputs after submission

I used the following with jQuery $("#submitForm").val("");

where submitForm is the id for the input element in the html. I ran it AFTER my function to extract the value from the input field. That extractValue function below:

function extractValue() { var value = $("#submitForm").val().trim(); console.log(value); };

Also don't forget to include preventDefault(); method to stop the submit type form from refreshing your page!

java.lang.ClassCastException

It's because you're casting to the wrong thing - you're trying to convert to a particular type, and the object that your express refers to is incompatible with that type. For example:

golang why don't we have a set datastructure

Partly, because Go doesn't have generics (so you would need one set-type for every type, or fall back on reflection, which is rather inefficient).

Partly, because if all you need is "add/remove individual elements to a set" and "relatively space-efficient", you can get a fair bit of that simply by using a map[yourtype]bool (and set the value to true for any element in the set) or, for more space efficiency, you can use an empty struct as the value and use _, present = the_setoid[key] to check for presence.

How to crop an image using PIL?

(left, upper, right, lower) means two points,

  1. (left, upper)
  2. (right, lower)

with an 800x600 pixel image, the image's left upper point is (0, 0), the right lower point is (800, 600).

So, for cutting the image half:

from PIL import Image
img = Image.open("ImageName.jpg")

img_left_area = (0, 0, 400, 600)
img_right_area = (400, 0, 800, 600)

img_left = img.crop(img_left_area)
img_right = img.crop(img_right_area)

img_left.show()
img_right.show()

enter image description here

Coordinate System

The Python Imaging Library uses a Cartesian pixel coordinate system, with (0,0) in the upper left corner. Note that the coordinates refer to the implied pixel corners; the centre of a pixel addressed as (0, 0) actually lies at (0.5, 0.5).

Coordinates are usually passed to the library as 2-tuples (x, y). Rectangles are represented as 4-tuples, with the upper left corner given first. For example, a rectangle covering all of an 800x600 pixel image is written as (0, 0, 800, 600).

Simple way to unzip a .zip file using zlib

zlib handles the deflate compression/decompression algorithm, but there is more than that in a ZIP file.

You can try libzip. It is free, portable and easy to use.

UPDATE: Here I attach quick'n'dirty example of libzip, with all the error controls ommited:

#include <zip.h>

int main()
{
    //Open the ZIP archive
    int err = 0;
    zip *z = zip_open("foo.zip", 0, &err);

    //Search for the file of given name
    const char *name = "file.txt";
    struct zip_stat st;
    zip_stat_init(&st);
    zip_stat(z, name, 0, &st);

    //Alloc memory for its uncompressed contents
    char *contents = new char[st.size];

    //Read the compressed file
    zip_file *f = zip_fopen(z, name, 0);
    zip_fread(f, contents, st.size);
    zip_fclose(f);

    //And close the archive
    zip_close(z);

    //Do something with the contents
    //delete allocated memory
    delete[] contents;
}

JavaScript to get rows count of a HTML table

Given a

<table id="tableId">
    <thead>
        <tr><th>Header</th></tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
        <tr><td>Row 1</td></tr>
        <tr><td>Row 2</td></tr>
        <tr><td>Row 3</td></tr>
    </tbody>
    <tfoot>
        <tr><td>Footer</td></tr>
    </tfoot>
</table>

and a

var table = document.getElementById("tableId");

there are two ways to count the rows:

var totalRowCount = table.rows.length; // 5
var tbodyRowCount = table.tBodies[0].rows.length; // 3

The table.rows.length returns the amount of ALL <tr> elements within the table. So for the above table it will return 5 while most people would really expect 3. The table.tBodies returns an array of all <tbody> elements of which we grab only the first one (our table has only one). When we count the rows on it, then we get the expected value of 3.

How to pass optional arguments to a method in C++?

Here is an example of passing mode as optional parameter

void myfunc(int blah, int mode = 0)
{
    if (mode == 0)
        do_something();
     else
        do_something_else();
}

you can call myfunc in both ways and both are valid

myfunc(10);     // Mode will be set to default 0
myfunc(10, 1);  // Mode will be set to 1

Ways to implement data versioning in MongoDB

I worked through this solution that accommodates a published, draft and historical versions of the data:

      document: {}
    },
    ...
  }
}

SQlite - Android - Foreign key syntax

Since I cannot comment, adding this note in addition to @jethro answer.

I found out that you also need to do the FOREIGN KEY line as the last part of create the table statement, otherwise you will get a syntax error when installing your app. What I mean is, you cannot do something like this:

private static final String TASK_TABLE_CREATE = "create table "
    + TASK_TABLE + " (" + TASK_ID
    + " integer primary key autoincrement, " + TASK_TITLE
    + " text not null, " + TASK_NOTES + " text not null, "
+ TASK_CAT + " integer,"
+ " FOREIGN KEY ("+TASK_CAT+") REFERENCES "+CAT_TABLE+" ("+CAT_ID+"), "
+ TASK_DATE_TIME + " text not null);";

Where I put the TASK_DATE_TIME after the foreign key line.

Docker - a way to give access to a host USB or serial device?

With current versions of Docker, you can use the --device flag to achieve what you want, without needing to give access to all USB devices.

For example, if you wanted to make only /dev/ttyUSB0 accessible within your Docker container, you could do something like:

docker run -t -i --device=/dev/ttyUSB0 ubuntu bash

How to generate an openSSL key using a passphrase from the command line?

genrsa has been replaced by genpkey & when run manually in a terminal it will prompt for a password:

openssl genpkey -aes-256-cbc -algorithm RSA -out /etc/ssl/private/key.pem -pkeyopt rsa_keygen_bits:4096

However when run from a script the command will not ask for a password so to avoid the password being viewable as a process use a function in a shell script:

get_passwd() {
    local passwd=
    echo -ne "Enter passwd for private key: ? "; read -s passwd
    openssl genpkey -aes-256-cbc -pass pass:$passwd -algorithm RSA -out $PRIV_KEY -pkeyopt rsa_keygen_bits:$PRIV_KEYSIZE
}

How to compare LocalDate instances Java 8

MVC 4 - Return error message from Controller - Show in View

The Return View(model) returns you error because you don't fill the model with the values in your post method and the model data for the dropdown is empty. Please provide the Get method to explain further how to manage displaying the error. In order to the error to be shown you should use this:

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult form_edit(FormModels model)
{          
   if(ModelState.IsValid())
   {
      --- operations 
      return Redirect("OtherAction", "SomeController");
   }

   // here you can use a little trick
   //fill the model property that holds the information for the dropdown with the data 

   // you haven't provided the get method but it should look something like this
   model.Countries = ... some data goes here;
   model.dd_value = ... some other data;
   model.dd_text = ... other data;

   ModelState.AddModelError("", "adfdghdghgdhgdhdgda");
   return View(model);
}

and then in the view just use :

@model mvc_cs.Models.FormModels
@using ctrlr = mvc_cs.Controllers.FormController


@using (Html.BeginForm("form_edit", "Form", FormMethod.Post))
{

    <table>
    <tr>
    <td>       
    @Html.ValidationSummary(true)             
    </td>
    </tr>
<tr>
    <th>
        @Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.content_name)
        @Html.DropDownListFor(x => x.selectedvalue, new SelectList(Model.Countries, Model.dd_value, Model.dd_text), "-- Select Product--")

    </th>
</tr>
</table>

<table>
<tr>
    <td>
        <input  type="submit" value="Submit" />
    </td>
</tr>
</table>
}

This should work okay.

If you just use RedirectToAction it will redirect you to the get method --> you will have no error but the view will be just reloaded and no error would be shown.

other way around is that you can pass the error not by ModelState.AddError, but with ViewData["error"] like this:

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult form_edit(FormModels model)
{          
   TempData["error"] = "someErrorMessage";
   return RedirectToAction("form_Post", "Form");
}

[HttpGet]
public ActionResult form_edit()
{
    do stuff here ----
    ViewData["error"] = TempData["error"];
    return View();
}

@model mvc_cs.Models.FormModels
@using ctrlr = mvc_cs.Controllers.FormController


@using (Html.BeginForm("form_edit", "Form", FormMethod.Post))
{

    <table>
    <tr>
    <td>       
    <div>@ViewData["error"]</div>             
    </td>
    </tr>
<tr>
    <th>
        @Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.content_name)
        @Html.DropDownListFor(x => x.selectedvalue, new SelectList(Model.Countries, Model.dd_value, Model.dd_text), "-- Select Product--")

    </th>
</tr>
</table>

<table>
<tr>
    <td>
        <input  type="submit" value="Submit" />
    </td>
</tr>
</table>
}

How to determine if Javascript array contains an object with an attribute that equals a given value?

My approach to solving this problem is to use ES6 and creating a function that does the check for us. The benefit of this function is that it can be reusable through out your project to check any array of objects given the key and the value to check.

ENOUGH TALK, LET'S SEE THE CODE

Array

const ceos = [
  {
    name: "Jeff Bezos",
    company: "Amazon"
  }, 
  {
    name: "Mark Zuckerberg",
    company: "Facebook"
  }, 
  {
    name: "Tim Cook",
    company: "Apple"
  }
];

Function

const arrayIncludesInObj = (arr, key, valueToCheck) => {
  return arr.some(value => value[key] === valueToCheck);
}

Call/Usage

const found = arrayIncludesInObj(ceos, "name", "Tim Cook"); // true

const found = arrayIncludesInObj(ceos, "name", "Tim Bezos"); // false

Clear terminal in Python

A simple and cross-platform solution would be to use either the cls command on Windows, or clear on Unix systems. Used with os.system, this makes a nice one-liner:

import os
os.system('cls' if os.name == 'nt' else 'clear')

How do I collapse a table row in Bootstrap?

You are using collapse on the div inside of your table row (tr). So when you collapse the div, the row is still there. You need to change it to where your id and class are on the tr instead of the div.

Change this:

<tr><td><div class="collapse out" id="collapseme">Should be collapsed</div></td></tr>

to this:

<tr class="collapse out" id="collapseme"><td><div>Should be collapsed</div></td></tr>

EDIT: If you are unable to upgrade to 3.0.0, I found a JQuery workaround in 2.3.2:

Remove your data-toggle and data-target and add this JQuery to your button.

$(".btn").click(function() {
    if($("#collapseme").hasClass("out")) {
        $("#collapseme").addClass("in");
        $("#collapseme").removeClass("out");
    } else {
        $("#collapseme").addClass("out");
        $("#collapseme").removeClass("in");
    }
});

What is the difference between 'classic' and 'integrated' pipeline mode in IIS7?

Integrated application pool mode

When an application pool is in Integrated mode, you can take advantage of the integrated request-processing architecture of IIS and ASP.NET. When a worker process in an application pool receives a request, the request passes through an ordered list of events. Each event calls the necessary native and managed modules to process portions of the request and to generate the response.

There are several benefits to running application pools in Integrated mode. First the request-processing models of IIS and ASP.NET are integrated into a unified process model. This model eliminates steps that were previously duplicated in IIS and ASP.NET, such as authentication. Additionally, Integrated mode enables the availability of managed features to all content types.

Classic application pool mode

When an application pool is in Classic mode, IIS 7.0 handles requests as in IIS 6.0 worker process isolation mode. ASP.NET requests first go through native processing steps in IIS and are then routed to Aspnet_isapi.dll for processing of managed code in the managed runtime. Finally, the request is routed back through IIS to send the response.

This separation of the IIS and ASP.NET request-processing models results in duplication of some processing steps, such as authentication and authorization. Additionally, managed code features, such as forms authentication, are only available to ASP.NET applications or applications for which you have script mapped all requests to be handled by aspnet_isapi.dll.

Be sure to test your existing applications for compatibility in Integrated mode before upgrading a production environment to IIS 7.0 and assigning applications to application pools in Integrated mode. You should only add an application to an application pool in Classic mode if the application fails to work in Integrated mode. For example, your application might rely on an authentication token passed from IIS to the managed runtime, and, due to the new architecture in IIS 7.0, the process breaks your application.

Taken from: What is the difference between DefaultAppPool and Classic .NET AppPool in IIS7?

How to convert the following json string to java object?

Gson gson = new Gson();
JsonParser parser = new JsonParser();
JsonObject object = (JsonObject) parser.parse(response);// response will be the json String
YourPojo emp = gson.fromJson(object, YourPojo.class); 

Getting JSONObject from JSONArray

start from

JSONArray deletedtrs_array = sync_reponse.getJSONArray("deletedtrs");

you can iterate through JSONArray and use values directly or create Objects of your own type
which will handle data fields inside of each deletedtrs_array member

Iterating

for(int i = 0; i < deletedtrs_array.length(); i++){
    JSONObject obj = deletedtrs_array.getJSONObject(i);
    Log.d("Item no."+i, obj.toString());

    // create object of type DeletedTrsWrapper like this
    DeletedTrsWrapper dtw = new DeletedTrsWrapper(obj);

    // String company_id = obj.getString("companyid");
    // String username = obj.getString("username");
    // String date = obj.getString("date");
    // int report_id = obj.getInt("reportid");
}

Own object type

class DeletedTrsWrapper {

    public String company_id;
    public String username;
    public String date;
    public int report_id;

    public DeletedTrsWrapper(JSONObject obj){
        company_id = obj.getString("companyid");
        username = obj.getString("username");
        date = obj.getString("date");
        report_id = obj.getInt("reportid");
    }
}

Sort array of objects by string property value

Way 1 :

You can use Underscore.js. Import underscore first.

 import * as _ from 'underscore';
 let SortedObjs = _.sortBy(objs, 'last_nom');

Way 2 : Use compare function.

function compare(first, second) {
     if (first.last_nom < second.last_nom)
         return -1;
     if (first.last_nom > second.last_nom)
       return 1;
    return 0;
 }

objs.sort(compare);

How do I test axios in Jest?

Without using any other libraries:

import * as axios from "axios";

// Mock out all top level functions, such as get, put, delete and post:
jest.mock("axios");

// ...

test("good response", () => {
  axios.get.mockImplementation(() => Promise.resolve({ data: {...} }));
  // ...
});

test("bad response", () => {
  axios.get.mockImplementation(() => Promise.reject({ ... }));
  // ...
});

It is possible to specify the response code:

axios.get.mockImplementation(() => Promise.resolve({ status: 200, data: {...} }));

It is possible to change the mock based on the parameters:

axios.get.mockImplementation((url) => {
    if (url === 'www.example.com') {
        return Promise.resolve({ data: {...} });
    } else {
        //...
    }
});

Jest v23 introduced some syntactic sugar for mocking Promises:

axios.get.mockImplementation(() => Promise.resolve({ data: {...} }));

It can be simplified to

axios.get.mockResolvedValue({ data: {...} });

There is also an equivalent for rejected promises: mockRejectedValue.

Git pushing to remote branch

git push --set-upstream origin <branch_name>_test

--set-upstream sets the association between your local branch and the remote. You only have to do it the first time. On subsequent pushes you can just do:

git push

If you don't have origin set yet, use:

git remote add origin <repository_url> then retry the above command.

jQuery UI Dialog OnBeforeUnload

For ASP.NET MVC if you want to make an exception for leaving the page via submitting a particular form:

Set a form id:

@using (Html.BeginForm("Create", "MgtJob", FormMethod.Post, new { id = "createjob" }))
{
  // Your code
}



<script type="text/javascript">

  // Without submit form
   $(window).bind('beforeunload', function () {
        if ($('input').val() !== '') {
            return "It looks like you have input you haven't submitted."
        }
    });

    // this will call before submit; and it will unbind beforeunload
    $(function () {
        $("#createjob").submit(function (event) {
            $(window).unbind("beforeunload");
        });
    });

</script>

Maximum number of rows in an MS Access database engine table?

When working with 4 large Db2 tables I have not only found the limit but it caused me to look really bad to a boss who thought that I could append all four tables (each with over 900,000 rows) to one large table. the real life result was that regardless of how many times I tried the Table (which had exactly 34 columns - 30 text and 3 integer) would spit out some cryptic message "Cannot open database unrecognized format or the file may be corrupted". Bottom Line is Less than 1,500,000 records and just a bit more than 1,252,000 with 34 rows.

How to change the date format of a DateTimePicker in vb.net

Try this code it works:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim CustomeDate As String = ("#" & DOE.Value.Date.ToString("d/MM/yyyy") & "#")
    MsgBox(CustomeDate.ToString)

    con.Open()

    dadap = New System.Data.OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM QRY_Tran where FORMAT(qry_tran.doe,'d/mm/yyyy') = " & CustomeDate & "", con)

    ds = New System.Data.DataSet
    dadap.Fill(ds)
    Dgview.DataSource = ds.Tables(0)
    con.Close()

Note : if u use dd for date representation it will return nothing while selecting 1 to 9 so use d for selection

'Date time format
'MMM     Three-letter month.
'ddd     Three-letter day of the week.
'd       Day of the month.
'HH      Two-digit hours on 24-hour scale.
'mm      Two-digit minutes.
'yyyy    Four-digit year.

The documentation contains a full list of the date formats.

Unable to find valid certification path to requested target - error even after cert imported

In my case I was facing the problem because in my tomcat process specific keystore was given using

-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/pathtosomeselfsignedstore/truststore.jks

Wheras I was importing the certificate to the cacert of JRE/lib/security and the changes were not reflecting. Then I did below command where /tmp/cert1.test contains the certificate of the target server

keytool -import -trustcacerts -keystore /pathtosomeselfsignedstore/truststore.jks -storepass password123 -noprompt -alias rapidssl-myserver -file /tmp/cert1.test

We can double check if the certificate import is successful

keytool -list -v -keystore /pathtosomeselfsignedstore/truststore.jks

and see if your taget server is found against alias rapidssl-myserver

How do I verify that an Android apk is signed with a release certificate?

How to duplicate a git repository? (without forking)

If you just want to create a new repository using all or most of the files from an existing one (i.e., as a kind of template), I find the easiest approach is to make a new repo with the desired name etc, clone it to your desktop, then just add the files and folders you want in it.

You don't get all the history etc, but you probably don't want that in this case.

What is the recommended way to delete a large number of items from DynamoDB?

According to the DynamoDB documentation you could just delete the full table.

See below:

"Deleting an entire table is significantly more efficient than removing items one-by-one, which essentially doubles the write throughput as you do as many delete operations as put operations"

If you wish to delete only a subset of your data, then you could make separate tables for each month, year or similar. This way you could remove "last month" and keep the rest of your data intact.

This is how you delete a table in Java using the AWS SDK:

DeleteTableRequest deleteTableRequest = new DeleteTableRequest()
  .withTableName(tableName);
DeleteTableResult result = client.deleteTable(deleteTableRequest);

How do I specify different layouts for portrait and landscape orientations?

Or use this:

<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
            android:scrollbars="vertical" 
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
            android:layout_width="fill_parent">

  <LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="fill_parent">

     <!-- Add your UI elements inside the inner most linear layout -->

  </LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>

How to add a button to UINavigationBar?

In Swift 2, you would do:

let rightButton: UIBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Done", style: UIBarButtonItemStyle.Done, target: nil, action: nil)
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = rightButton

(Not a major change) In Swift 4/5, it will be:

let rightButton: UIBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Done", style: UIBarButtonItem.Style.done, target: nil, action: nil)
self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = rightButton

Encrypt and decrypt a String in java

I had a doubt that whether the encrypted text will be same for single text when encryption done by multiple times on a same text??

This depends strongly on the crypto algorithm you use:

  • One goal of some/most (mature) algorithms is that the encrypted text is different when encryption done twice. One reason to do this is, that an attacker how known the plain and the encrypted text is not able to calculate the key.
  • Other algorithm (mainly one way crypto hashes) like MD5 or SHA based on the fact, that the hashed text is the same for each encryption/hash.

How to find index position of an element in a list when contains returns true

Use List.indexOf(). This will give you the first match when there are multiple duplicates.

How to return a file using Web API?

Better to return HttpResponseMessage with StreamContent inside of it.

Here is example:

public HttpResponseMessage GetFile(string id)
{
    if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(id))
        return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest);

    string fileName;
    string localFilePath;
    int fileSize;

    localFilePath = getFileFromID(id, out fileName, out fileSize);

    HttpResponseMessage response = new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.OK);
    response.Content = new StreamContent(new FileStream(localFilePath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read));
    response.Content.Headers.ContentDisposition = new System.Net.Http.Headers.ContentDispositionHeaderValue("attachment");
    response.Content.Headers.ContentDisposition.FileName = fileName;
    response.Content.Headers.ContentType = new MediaTypeHeaderValue("application/pdf");

    return response;
}

UPD from comment by patridge: Should anyone else get here looking to send out a response from a byte array instead of an actual file, you're going to want to use new ByteArrayContent(someData) instead of StreamContent (see here).

Clear a terminal screen for real

My favorite human friendly command for this is:

reset

Tested on xterm and VT100. It also helps after an abnormal program termination. Keeps the command buffer, so up-arrow will cycle through previous commands.

How to display a Yes/No dialog box on Android?

you can implement a generic solution for decisions and use in another case not just for yes/no and custom the alert with animations or layout:

Something like this; first create your class for transfer datas:

public class AlertDecision {

    private String question = "";
    private String strNegative = "";
    private String strPositive = "";

    public AlertDecision question(@NonNull String question) {
        this.question = question;
        return this;
    }

    public AlertDecision ansPositive(@NonNull String strPositive) {
        this.strPositive = strPositive;
        return this;
    }

    public AlertDecision ansNegative(@NonNull String strNegative) {
        this.strNegative = strNegative;
        return this;
    }

    public String getQuestion() {
        return question;
    }

    public String getAnswerNegative() {
        return strNegative;
    }

    public String getAnswerPositive() {
        return strPositive;
    }
}

after a interface for return the result

public interface OnAlertDecisionClickListener {

    /**
     * Interface definition for a callback to be invoked when a view is clicked.
     *
     * @param dialog the dialog that was clicked
     * @param object The object in the position of the view
     */
    void onPositiveDecisionClick(DialogInterface dialog, Object object);
    void onNegativeDecisionClick(DialogInterface dialog, Object object);
}

Now you can create an utils for access easily (in this class you can implement different animation or custom layout for the alert):

public class AlertViewUtils {

    public static void showAlertDecision(Context context,
                                         @NonNull AlertDecision decision,
                                         final OnAlertDecisionClickListener listener,
                                         final Object object) {

        AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(context);
        builder.setMessage(decision.getQuestion());
        builder.setPositiveButton(decision.getAnswerPositive(),
                new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                        listener.onPositiveDecisionClick(dialog, object);
                    }
                });

        builder.setNegativeButton(decision.getAnswerNegative(),
                new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                    public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                        listener.onNegativeDecisionClick(dialog, object);
                    }
                });

        android.support.v7.app.AlertDialog dialog = builder.create();
        dialog.show();
    }
}

and the last call in activity or fragment; you can use this in you case or for other task:

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

@Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity);
        initResources();
    }

    public void initResources() {
        Button doSomething = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn);
        doSomething.setOnClickListener(getDecisionListener());
    }

    private View.OnClickListener getDecisionListener() {
        return new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                AlertDecision decision = new AlertDecision()
                        .question("question ...")
                        .ansNegative("negative action...")
                        .ansPositive("positive action... ");
                AlertViewUtils.showAlertDecision(MainActivity.this,
                        decision, getOnDecisionListener(), v);
            }
        };
    }

    private OnAlertDecisionClickListener getOnDecisionListener() {
        return new OnAlertDecisionClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onPositiveDecisionClick(DialogInterface dialog, Object object) {

                //do something like create, show views, etc...
            }

            @Override
            public void onNegativeDecisionClick(DialogInterface dialog, Object object) {
                //do something like delete, close session, etc ...
            }
        };
    }
} 

Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1 Incorrect syntax near ' '

For the OP's command:

select compid,2, convert(datetime, '01/01/' + CONVERT(char(4),cal_yr) ,101) ,0,  Update_dt, th1, th2, th3_pc , Update_id, Update_dt,1
from  #tmp_CTF** 

I get this error:

Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 2
Incorrect syntax near '*'.

when debugging something like this split the long line up so you'll get a better row number:

select compid
,2
, convert(datetime
, '01/01/' 
+ CONVERT(char(4)
,cal_yr) 
,101) 
,0
,  Update_dt
, th1
, th2
, th3_pc 
, Update_id
, Update_dt
,1
from  #tmp_CTF** 

this now results in:

Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 16
Incorrect syntax near '*'.

which is probably just from the OP not putting the entire command in the question, or use [ ] braces to signify the table name:

from [#tmp_CTF**]

if that is the table name.

Invalid attempt to read when no data is present

Best timing method in C?

High resolution is relative... I was looking at the examples and they mostly cater for milliseconds. However for me it is important to measure microseconds. I have not seen a platform independant solution for microseconds and thought something like the code below will be usefull. I was timing on windows only for the time being and will most likely add a gettimeofday() implementation when doing the same on AIX/Linux.

    #ifdef WIN32
      #ifndef PERFTIME
        #include <windows.h>
        #include <winbase.h>
        #define PERFTIME_INIT unsigned __int64 freq;  QueryPerformanceFrequency((LARGE_INTEGER*)&freq); double timerFrequency = (1.0/freq);  unsigned __int64 startTime;  unsigned __int64 endTime;  double timeDifferenceInMilliseconds;
        #define PERFTIME_START QueryPerformanceCounter((LARGE_INTEGER *)&startTime);
        #define PERFTIME_END QueryPerformanceCounter((LARGE_INTEGER *)&endTime); timeDifferenceInMilliseconds = ((endTime-startTime) * timerFrequency);  printf("Timing %fms\n",timeDifferenceInMilliseconds);
    #define PERFTIME(funct) {unsigned __int64 freq;  QueryPerformanceFrequency((LARGE_INTEGER*)&freq);  double timerFrequency = (1.0/freq);  unsigned __int64 startTime;  QueryPerformanceCounter((LARGE_INTEGER *)&startTime);  unsigned __int64 endTime;  funct; QueryPerformanceCounter((LARGE_INTEGER *)&endTime);  double timeDifferenceInMilliseconds = ((endTime-startTime) * timerFrequency);  printf("Timing %fms\n",timeDifferenceInMilliseconds);}
      #endif
    #else
      //AIX/Linux gettimeofday() implementation here
    #endif

Usage:

PERFTIME(ProcessIntenseFunction());

or

PERFTIME_INIT
PERFTIME_START
ProcessIntenseFunction()
PERFTIME_END

Regex to accept alphanumeric and some special character in Javascript?

I forgot to mention. This should also accept whitespace.

You could use:

/^[-@.\/#&+\w\s]*$/

Note how this makes use of the character classes \w and \s.

EDIT:- Added \ to escape /

Effective swapping of elements of an array in Java

Incredibly late to the party (my apologies) but a more generic solution than those provided here can be implemented (will work with primitives and non-primitives alike):

public static void swap(final Object array, final int i, final int j) {
    final Object atI = Array.get(array, i);
    Array.set(array, i, Array.get(array, j));
    Array.set(array, j, atI);
}

You lose compile-time safety, but it should do the trick.

Note I: You'll get a NullPointerException if the given array is null, an IllegalArgumentException if the given array is not an array, and an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException if either of the indices aren't valid for the given array.

Note II: Having separate methods for this for every array type (Object[] and all primitive types) would be more performant (using the other approaches given here) since this requires some boxing/unboxing. But it'd also be a whole lot more code to write/maintain.

Error: ANDROID_HOME is not set and "android" command not in your PATH. You must fulfill at least one of these conditions.

By the way, one other possibility is that you do have a too old version of cordova android platform.

Error: Android SDK not found. Make sure that it is installed. If it is not at the default location, set the ANDROID_HOME environment variable.

Then:

How can I set the color of a selected row in DataGrid

The default IsSelected trigger changes 3 properties, Background, Foreground & BorderBrush. If you want to change the border as well as the background, just include this in your style trigger.

<Style TargetType="{x:Type dg:DataGridCell}">
    <Style.Triggers>
        <Trigger Property="dg:DataGridCell.IsSelected" Value="True">
            <Setter Property="Background" Value="#CCDAFF" />
            <Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="Black" />
        </Trigger>
    </Style.Triggers>
</Style>

How to center a Window in Java?

The following doesn't work for JDK 1.7.0.07:

frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);

It puts the top left corner at the center - not the same as centering the window. The other one doesn't work either, involving frame.getSize() and dimension.getSize():

Dimension dimension = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
int x = (int) ((dimension.getWidth() - frame.getWidth()) / 2);
int y = (int) ((dimension.getHeight() - frame.getHeight()) / 2);
frame.setLocation(x, y);

The getSize() method is inherited from the Component class, and therefore frame.getSize returns the size of the window as well. Thus subtracting half the vertical and horizontal dimensions from the vertical and horizontal dimensions, to find the x,y coordinates of where to place the top-left corner, gives you the location of the center point, which ends up centering the window as well. However, the first line of the above code is useful, "Dimension...". Just do this to center it:

Dimension dimension = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
JLabel emptyLabel = new JLabel("");
emptyLabel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension( (int)dimension.getWidth() / 2, (int)dimension.getHeight()/2 ));
frame.getContentPane().add(emptyLabel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
frame.setLocation((int)dimension.getWidth()/4, (int)dimension.getHeight()/4);

The JLabel sets the screen-size. It's in FrameDemo.java available on the java tutorials at the Oracle/Sun site. I set it to half the screen size's height/width. Then, I centered it by placing the top left at 1/4 of the screen size's dimension from the left, and 1/4 of the screen size's dimension from the top. You can use a similar concept.

C# Remove object from list of objects

Simplest solution without using LINQ:

    Chunk toRemove = null;
    foreach (Chunk i in ChunkList)
    {
        if (i.UniqueID == ChunkID)
        {
            toRemove = i;
            break;
        }
    }
    if (toRemove != null) {
        ChunkList.Remove(toRemove);
    }

(If Chunk is a struct, then you can use Nullable<Chunk> to achieve this.)

react-router (v4) how to go back?

Here is the cleanest and simplest way you can handle this problem, which also nullifies the probable pitfalls of the this keyword. Use functional components:

import { withRouter } from "react-router-dom"; wrap your component or better App.js with the withRouter() HOC this makes history to be available "app-wide". wrapping your component only makes history available for that specific component``` your choice.

So you have:

  1. export default withRouter(App);

  2. In a Redux environment export default withRouter( connect(mapStateToProps, { <!-- your action creators -->})(App), ); you should even be able to user history from your action creators this way.

in your component do the following:

import {useHistory} from "react-router-dom";

const history = useHistory(); // do this inside the component

goBack = () => history.goBack();

<btn btn-sm btn-primary onclick={goBack}>Go Back</btn>

export default DemoComponent;

Gottcha useHistory is only exported from the latest v5.1 react-router-dom so be sure to update the package. However, you should not have to worry. about the many snags of the this keyword.

You can also make this a reusable component to use across your app.


function BackButton({ children }) {
  let history = useHistory()
  return (
    <button type="button" onClick={() => history.goBack()}>
      {children}
    </button>
  )
}```
Cheers.

TypeError: p.easing[this.easing] is not a function

I got this error today whilst trying to initiate a slide effect on a div. Thanks to the answer from 'I Hate Lazy' above (which I've upvoted), I went looking for a custom jQuery UI script, and you can in fact build your own file directly on the jQuery ui website http://jqueryui.com/download/. All you have to do is mark the effect(s) that you're looking for and then download.

I was looking for the slide effect. So I first unchecked all the checkboxes, then clicked on the 'slide effect' checkbox and the page automatically then checks those other components necessary to make the slide effect work. Very simple.

easeOutBounce is an easing effect, for which you'll need to check the 'Effects Core' checkbox.

 Dictionary<string, string> dict = new Dictionary<string, string>();
 dict.Add("UserID", "test");
 string userIDFromDictionaryByKey = dict["UserID"];

If you look at the tip suggestion:

HTML tag inside JavaScript

If you write HTML into javascript anywhere, it will think the HTML is written in javascript. The best way to include HTML in JavaScript is to write the HTML code on the page. The browser can't display HTML tags, so the browser will recognize the HTML and write this code in HTML.

document.write("<p>Hello World!</p>");

Though if you would like to write HTML on a function, GetElementById is the best:

function functionName() {
   document.getElementById(" the id of the HTML element to be written in ").innerHTML = "whatever you want to say"
}

Hope this helps!

.NET DateTime to SqlDateTime Conversion

-To compare only the date part, you can do:

var result = db.query($"SELECT * FROM table WHERE date >= '{fromDate.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd")}' and date <= '{toDate.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd"}'");

How to get the azure account tenant Id?

In the Azure CLI (I use GNU/Linux):

$ azure login  # add "-e AzureChinaCloud" if you're using Azure China

This will ask you to login via https://aka.ms/devicelogin or https://aka.ms/deviceloginchina

$ azure account show
info:    Executing command account show
data:    Name                        : BizSpark Plus
data:    ID                          : aZZZZZZZ-YYYY-HHHH-GGGG-abcdef569123
data:    State                       : Enabled
data:    Tenant ID                   : 0XXXXXXX-YYYY-HHHH-GGGG-123456789123
data:    Is Default                  : true
data:    Environment                 : AzureCloud
data:    Has Certificate             : No
data:    Has Access Token            : Yes
data:    User name                   : [email protected]
data:    
info:    account show command OK

or simply:

azure account show --json | jq -r '.[0].tenantId'

or the new az:

az account show --subscription a... | jq -r '.tenantId'
az account list | jq -r '.[].tenantId'

I hope it helps

how to redirect to home page

window.location = '/';

Should usually do the trick, but it depends on your sites directories. This will work for your example

Is it possible to select the last n items with nth-child?

Because of the definition of the semantics of nth-child, I don't see how this is possible without including the length of the list of elements involved. The point of the semantics is to allow segregation of a bunch of child elements into repeating groups (edit - thanks BoltClock) or into a first part of some fixed length, followed by "the rest". You sort-of want the opposite of that, which is what nth-last-child gives you.

How to create query parameters in Javascript?

I have improved the function of shog9`s to handle array values

function encodeQueryData(data) {
    const ret = [];
    for (let d in data) {
        if (typeof data[d] === 'object' || typeof data[d] === 'array') {
            for (let arrD in data[d]) {
                ret.push(`${encodeURIComponent(d)}[]=${encodeURIComponent(data[d][arrD])}`)
            }
        } else if (typeof data[d] === 'null' || typeof data[d] === 'undefined') {
            ret.push(encodeURIComponent(d))
        } else {
            ret.push(`${encodeURIComponent(d)}=${encodeURIComponent(data[d])}`)
        }

    }
    return ret.join('&');
}

Example

let data = {
  user: 'Mark'
  fruits: ['apple', 'banana']
}

encodeQueryData(data) // user=Mark&fruits[]=apple&fruits[]=banana

How to remove items from a list while iterating?

I needed to do something similar and in my case the problem was memory - I needed to merge multiple dataset objects within a list, after doing some stuff with them, as a new object, and needed to get rid of each entry I was merging to avoid duplicating all of them and blowing up memory. In my case having the objects in a dictionary instead of a list worked fine:

```

k = range(5)
v = ['a','b','c','d','e']
d = {key:val for key,val in zip(k, v)}

print d
for i in range(5):
    print d[i]
    d.pop(i)
print d

```

Python csv string to array

Per the documentation:

And while the module doesn’t directly support parsing strings, it can easily be done:

import csv
for row in csv.reader(['one,two,three']):
    print row

Just turn your string into a single element list.

Importing StringIO seems a bit excessive to me when this example is explicitly in the docs.

Unable to get provider com.google.firebase.provider.FirebaseInitProvider

I've got this error just on devices with API lower that 21. In my case, I have had to work with a project where multiDexEnabled option in build.gradle was already set to true. I checked dex file from APK and referenced methods number was less than 64k, so project doesn't need to be a multidex one, therefore I set multiDexEnabled to false. This solution worked for me.

Reading CSV files using C#

To complete the previous answers, one may need a collection of objects from his CSV File, either parsed by the TextFieldParser or the string.Split method, and then each line converted to an object via Reflection. You obviously first need to define a class that matches the lines of the CSV file.

I used the simple CSV Serializer from Michael Kropat found here: Generic class to CSV (all properties) and reused his methods to get the fields and properties of the wished class.

I deserialize my CSV file with the following method:

public static IEnumerable<T> ReadCsvFileTextFieldParser<T>(string fileFullPath, string delimiter = ";") where T : new()
{
    if (!File.Exists(fileFullPath))
    {
        return null;
    }

    var list = new List<T>();
    var csvFields = GetAllFieldOfClass<T>();
    var fieldDict = new Dictionary<int, MemberInfo>();

    using (TextFieldParser parser = new TextFieldParser(fileFullPath))
    {
        parser.SetDelimiters(delimiter);

        bool headerParsed = false;

        while (!parser.EndOfData)
        {
            //Processing row
            string[] rowFields = parser.ReadFields();
            if (!headerParsed)
            {
                for (int i = 0; i < rowFields.Length; i++)
                {
                    // First row shall be the header!
                    var csvField = csvFields.Where(f => f.Name == rowFields[i]).FirstOrDefault();
                    if (csvField != null)
                    {
                        fieldDict.Add(i, csvField);
                    }
                }
                headerParsed = true;
            }
            else
            {
                T newObj = new T();
                for (int i = 0; i < rowFields.Length; i++)
                {
                    var csvFied = fieldDict[i];
                    var record = rowFields[i];

                    if (csvFied is FieldInfo)
                    {
                        ((FieldInfo)csvFied).SetValue(newObj, record);
                    }
                    else if (csvFied is PropertyInfo)
                    {
                        var pi = (PropertyInfo)csvFied;
                        pi.SetValue(newObj, Convert.ChangeType(record, pi.PropertyType), null);
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        throw new Exception("Unhandled case.");
                    }
                }
                if (newObj != null)
                {
                    list.Add(newObj);
                }
            }
        }
    }
    return list;
}

public static IEnumerable<MemberInfo> GetAllFieldOfClass<T>()
{
    return
        from mi in typeof(T).GetMembers(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Static)
        where new[] { MemberTypes.Field, MemberTypes.Property }.Contains(mi.MemberType)
        let orderAttr = (ColumnOrderAttribute)Attribute.GetCustomAttribute(mi, typeof(ColumnOrderAttribute))
        orderby orderAttr == null ? int.MaxValue : orderAttr.Order, mi.Name

How do I prevent CSS inheritance?

Copy/duplicate database without using mysqldump

I don't really know what you mean by "local access". But for that solution you need to be able to access over ssh the server to copy the files where is database is stored.

I cannot use mysqldump, because my database is big (7Go, mysqldump fail) If the version of the 2 mysql database is too different it might not work, you can check your mysql version using mysql -V.

1) Copy the data from your remote server to your local computer (vps is the alias to your remote server, can be replaced by [email protected])

ssh vps:/etc/init.d/mysql stop
scp -rC vps:/var/lib/mysql/ /tmp/var_lib_mysql
ssh vps:/etc/init.d/apache2 start

2) Import the data copied on your local computer

/etc/init.d/mysql stop
sudo chown -R mysql:mysql /tmp/var_lib_mysql
sudo nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf
-> [mysqld]
-> datadir=/tmp/var_lib_mysql
/etc/init.d/mysql start

If you have a different version, you may need to run

/etc/init.d/mysql stop
mysql_upgrade -u root -pPASSWORD --force #that step took almost 1hrs
/etc/init.d/mysql start

How to make a list of n numbers in Python and randomly select any number?

You can create the enumeration of the elements by something like this:

mylist = list(xrange(10))

Then you can use the random.choice function to select your items:

import random
...
random.choice(mylist)

As Asim Ihsan correctly stated, my answer did not address the full problem of the OP. To remove the values from the list, simply list.remove() can be called:

import random
...
value = random.choice(mylist)
mylist.remove(value)

As takataka pointed out, the xrange builtin function was renamed to range in Python 3.

Determine .NET Framework version for dll

I quickly wrote this C# console app to do this:

https://github.com/stuartjsmith/binarydetailer

Simply pass a directory as a parameter and it will do its best to tell you the net framework for each dll and exe in there

iOS 7: UITableView shows under status bar

I think the approach to using UITableViewController might be a little bit different from what you have done before. It has worked for me, but you might not be a fan of it. What I have done is have a view controller with a container view that points to my UItableViewController. This way I am able to use the TopLayoutGuide provided to my in storyboard. Just add the constraint to the container view and you should be taken care of for both iOS7 and iOS6.

What's the best way to get the last element of an array without deleting it?

Nowadays, I'd prefer always having this helper, as suggested at an php.net/end answer.

<?php
function endc($array) {
    return end($array);
}

$items = array('one','two','three');
$lastItem = endc($items); // three
$current = current($items); // one
?>

This will always keeps the pointer as it is and we will never have to worry about parenthesis, strict standards or whatever.

Inserting a tab character into text using C#

var text = "Ann@26"

Use xml.etree.ElementTree to print nicely formatted xml files

You can use the function toprettyxml() from xml.dom.minidom in order to do that:

def prettify(elem):
    """Return a pretty-printed XML string for the Element.
    """
    rough_string = ElementTree.tostring(elem, 'utf-8')
    reparsed = minidom.parseString(rough_string)
    return reparsed.toprettyxml(indent="\t")

The idea is to print your Element in a string, parse it using minidom and convert it again in XML using the toprettyxml function.

Where could I buy a valid SSL certificate?

The value of the certificate comes mostly from the trust of the internet users in the issuer of the certificate. To that end, Verisign is tough to beat. A certificate says to the client that you are who you say you are, and the issuer has verified that to be true.

You can get a free SSL certificate signed, for example, by StartSSL. This is an improvement on self-signed certificates, because your end-users would stop getting warning pop-ups informing them of a suspicious certificate on your end. However, the browser bar is not going to turn green when communicating with your site over https, so this solution is not ideal.

The cheapest SSL certificate that turns the bar green will cost you a few hundred dollars, and you would need to go through a process of proving the identity of your company to the issuer of the certificate by submitting relevant documents.

Why extend the Android Application class?

The use of extending application just make your application sure for any kind of operation that you want throughout your application running period. Now it may be any kind of variables and suppose if you want to fetch some data from server then you can put your asynctask in application so it will fetch each time and continuously, so that you will get a updated data automatically.. Use this link for more knowledge....

String replace method is not replacing characters

You should re-assign the result of the replacement, like this:

 sentence = sentence.replace("and", " ");

Be aware that the String class is immutable, meaning that all of its methods return a new string and never modify the original string in-place, so the result of invoking a method in an instance of String must be assigned to a variable or used immediately for the change to take effect.

Check if Variable is Empty - Angular 2

user:Array[]=[1,2,3];
if(this.user.length)
{
    console.log("user has contents");
}
else{
    console.log("user is empty");
}

Batch file FOR /f tokens

for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%f in (myfile) do

This reads a file line-by-line, removing leading spaces (thanks, jeb).

set line=%%f

sets then the line variable to the line just read and

call :procesToken

calls a subroutine that does something with the line

:processToken

is the start of the subroutine mentioned above.

for /f "tokens=1* delims=/" %%a in ("%line%") do

will then split the line at /, but stopping tokenization after the first token.

echo Got one token: %%a

will output that first token and

set line=%%b

will set the line variable to the rest of the line.

if not "%line%" == "" goto :processToken

And if line isn't yet empty (i.e. all tokens processed), it returns to the start, continuing with the rest of the line.

How to pass multiple arguments in processStartInfo?

startInfo.Arguments = "/c \"netsh http add sslcert ipport=127.0.0.1:8085 certhash=0000000000003ed9cd0c315bbb6dc1c08da5e6 appid={00112233-4455-6677-8899-AABBCCDDEEFF} clientcertnegotiation=enable\"";

and...

startInfo.Arguments = "/c \"makecert -sk server -sky exchange -pe -n CN=localhost -ir LocalMachine -is Root -ic MyCA.cer -sr LocalMachine -ss My MyAdHocTestCert.cer\"";

The /c tells cmd to quit once the command has completed. Everything after /c is the command you want to run (within cmd), including all of the arguments.

Chrome & Safari Error::Not allowed to load local resource: file:///D:/CSS/Style.css

You wont be able to access a local resource from your aspx page (web server). Have you tried a relative path from your aspx page to your css file like so...

<link rel="stylesheet" media="all" href="/CSS/Style.css" type="text/css" />

The above assumes that you have a folder called CSS in the root of your website like this:

http://www.website.com/CSS/Style.css

how to pass list as parameter in function

You can pass it as a List<DateTime>

public void somefunction(List<DateTime> dates)
{
}

However, it's better to use the most generic (as in general, base) interface possible, so I would use

public void somefunction(IEnumerable<DateTime> dates)
{
}

or

public void somefunction(ICollection<DateTime> dates)
{
}

You might also want to call .AsReadOnly() before passing the list to the method if you don't want the method to modify the list - add or remove elements.

Changing the JFrame title

How can I force Python's file.write() to use the same newline format in Windows as in Linux ("\r\n" vs. "\n")?

You can still use the textmode and force the linefeed-newline with the keyword argument newline

f = open("./foo",'w',newline='\n')

Tested with Python 3.4.2.

Edit: This does not work in Python 2.7.

How can I compare strings in C using a `switch` statement?

If it is a 2 byte string you can do something like in this concrete example where I switch on ISO639-2 language codes.

    LANIDX_TYPE LanCodeToIdx(const char* Lan)

The provided solution here is correct. However, the same error can also occur from a user error, where your endpoint request method is NOT matching the method your using when making the request.

How to adjust the size of y axis labels only in R?

ucfagls is right, providing you use the plot() command. If not, please give us more detail.

In any case, you can control every axis seperately by using the axis() command and the xaxt/yaxt options in plot(). Using the data of ucfagls, this becomes :

plot(Y ~ X, data=foo,yaxt="n")
axis(2,cex.axis=2)

the option yaxt="n" is necessary to avoid that the plot command plots the y-axis without changing. For the x-axis, this works exactly the same :

plot(Y ~ X, data=foo,xaxt="n")
axis(1,cex.axis=2)

See also the help files ?par and ?axis


Edit : as it is for a barplot, look at the options cex.axis and cex.names :

tN <- table(sample(letters[1:5],100,replace=T,p=c(0.2,0.1,0.3,0.2,0.2)))

op <- par(mfrow=c(1,2))
barplot(tN, col=rainbow(5),cex.axis=0.5) # for the Y-axis
barplot(tN, col=rainbow(5),cex.names=0.5) # for the X-axis
par(op)
