Drupal AJAX refers to the AJAX implementation used from Drupal.

Batch script to install MSI

Although it might look out of topic nobody bothered to check the ERRORLEVEL. When I used your suggestions I tried to check for errors straight after the MSI installation. I made it fail on purpose and noticed that on the command line all works beautifully whilst in a batch file msiexec dosn't seem to set errors. Tried different things there like

  • Using start /wait
  • Using !ERRORLEVEL! variable instead of %ERRORLEVEL%
  • Using SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion

Nothing works and what mostly annoys me it's the fact that it works in the command line.

TCPDF Save file to folder?

$pdf->Output() takes a second parameter $dest, which accepts a single character. The default, $dest='I' opens the PDF in the browser.

Use F to save to file

$pdf->Output('/path/to/file.pdf', 'F')

Difference between dates in JavaScript

I have found this and it works fine for me:

Calculating the Difference between Two Known Dates

Unfortunately, calculating a date interval such as days, weeks, or months between two known dates is not as easy because you can't just add Date objects together. In order to use a Date object in any sort of calculation, we must first retrieve the Date's internal millisecond value, which is stored as a large integer. The function to do that is Date.getTime(). Once both Dates have been converted, subtracting the later one from the earlier one returns the difference in milliseconds. The desired interval can then be determined by dividing that number by the corresponding number of milliseconds. For instance, to obtain the number of days for a given number of milliseconds, we would divide by 86,400,000, the number of milliseconds in a day (1000 x 60 seconds x 60 minutes x 24 hours):

Date.daysBetween = function( date1, date2 ) {
  //Get 1 day in milliseconds
  var one_day=1000*60*60*24;

  // Convert both dates to milliseconds
  var date1_ms = date1.getTime();
  var date2_ms = date2.getTime();

  // Calculate the difference in milliseconds
  var difference_ms = date2_ms - date1_ms;

  // Convert back to days and return
  return Math.round(difference_ms/one_day); 
}

//Set the two dates
var y2k  = new Date(2000, 0, 1); 
var Jan1st2010 = new Date(y2k.getFullYear() + 10, y2k.getMonth(), y2k.getDate());
var today= new Date();
//displays 726
console.log( 'Days since ' 
           + Jan1st2010.toLocaleDateString() + ': ' 
           + Date.daysBetween(Jan1st2010, today));

The rounding is optional, depending on whether you want partial days or not.

Datepicker: How to popup datepicker when click on edittext

The selected answer didn't quite work for me as I had to tap the EditText box once, and then tap it again before the OnClickListener would fire. I was able to fix this by replacing OnClickListener with OnTouchListener, just in case anyone has run into a similar issue here is what my code looks like:

Calendar myCalendar = Calendar.getInstance();

DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener date = new 
DatePickerDialog.OnDateSetListener() {

    @Override
    public void onDateSet(DatePicker view, int year, int monthOfYear,
            int dayOfMonth) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        myCalendar.set(Calendar.YEAR, year);
        myCalendar.set(Calendar.MONTH, monthOfYear);
        myCalendar.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, dayOfMonth);
        updateLabel();
    }

};
edittext.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {

    @Override
    public void onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
        if(event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
            new DatePickerDialog(classname.this, date, myCalendar
                    .get(Calendar.YEAR), myCalendar.get(Calendar.MONTH),
                    myCalendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH)).show();
        }
    }
});

private void updateLabel() {

    String myFormat = "MM/dd/yy"; //In which you need put here
    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(myFormat, Locale.US);

    edittext.setText(sdf.format(myCalendar.getTime()));
}

Retrieve version from maven pom.xml in code

There is also the method described in Easy way to display your apps version number using Maven:

Add this to pom.xml

<build>
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
      <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
      <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
      <configuration>
        <archive>
          <manifest>
            <mainClass>test.App</mainClass>
            <addDefaultImplementationEntries>
              true
            </addDefaultImplementationEntries>
          </manifest>
        </archive>
      </configuration>
    </plugin>
  </plugins>
</build>

Then use this:

App.class.getPackage().getImplementationVersion()

I have found this method to be simpler.

Run javascript script (.js file) in mongodb including another file inside js

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined

console.log(typeof json_data !== 'undefined'
    ? json_data.length : 'There is no spoon.');

...or more simply...

console.log(json_data ? json_data.length : 'json_data is null or undefined');

Defining TypeScript callback type

Here is an example - accepting no parameters and returning nothing.

class CallbackTest
{
    public myCallback: {(): void;};

    public doWork(): void
    {
        //doing some work...
        this.myCallback(); //calling callback
    }
}

var test = new CallbackTest();
test.myCallback = () => alert("done");
test.doWork();

If you want to accept a parameter, you can add that too:

public myCallback: {(msg: string): void;};

And if you want to return a value, you can add that also:

public myCallback: {(msg: string): number;};

Javascript Confirm popup Yes, No button instead of OK and Cancel

The only way you can accomplish this in a cross-browser way is to use a framework like jQuery UI and create a custom Dialog:

jquery Dialog

It doesn't work in exactly the same way as the built-in confirm popup but you should be able to make it do what you want.

How to convert Django Model object to dict with its fields and values?

The easier way is to just use pprint, which is in base Python

import pprint
item = MyDjangoModel.objects.get(name = 'foo')
pprint.pprint(item.__dict__, indent = 4)

This gives output that looks similar to json.dumps(..., indent = 4) but it correctly handles the weird data types that might be embedded in your model instance, such as ModelState and UUID, etc.

Adding close button in div to close the box

Here's the updated FIDDLE

Your HTML should look like this (I only added the button):

<a class="fragment" href="google.com">
    <button id="closeButton">close</button>
    <div>
        <img src ="http://placehold.it/116x116" alt="some description"/> 
        <h3>the title will go here</h3>
        <h4> www.myurlwill.com </h4>
        <p class="text">
        this is a short description yada yada peanuts etc this is a short description yada yada peanuts etc this is a short description yada yada peanuts etc this is a short description yada yada peanuts etcthis is a short description yada yada peanuts etc 
        </p>
    </div>
</a>

and you should add the following CSS:

.fragment {
    position: relative;
}
#closeButton {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    right: 0;
}

Then, to make the button actually work, you should add this javascript:

document.getElementById('closeButton').addEventListener('click', function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    this.parentNode.style.display = 'none';
}, false);

We're using e.preventDefault() here to prevent the anchor from following the link.

Indexing vectors and arrays with +:

Description and examples can be found in IEEE Std 1800-2017 § 11.5.1 "Vector bit-select and part-select addressing". First IEEE appearance is IEEE 1364-2001 (Verilog) § 4.2.1 "Vector bit-select and part-select addressing". Here is an direct example from the LRM:

logic [31: 0] a_vect;
logic [0 :31] b_vect;
logic [63: 0] dword;
integer sel;
a_vect[ 0 +: 8] // == a_vect[ 7 : 0]
a_vect[15 -: 8] // == a_vect[15 : 8]
b_vect[ 0 +: 8] // == b_vect[0 : 7]
b_vect[15 -: 8] // == b_vect[8 :15]
dword[8*sel +: 8] // variable part-select with fixed width

If sel is 0 then dword[8*(0) +: 8] == dword[7:0]
If sel is 7 then dword[8*(7) +: 8] == dword[63:56]

The value to the left always the starting index. The number to the right is the width and must be a positive constant. the + and - indicates to select the bits of a higher or lower index value then the starting index.

Assuming address is in little endian ([msb:lsb]) format, then if(address[2*pointer+:2]) is the equivalent of if({address[2*pointer+1],address[2*pointer]})

Mutex lock threads

A process consists of at least one thread (think of the main function). Multi threaded code will just spawn more threads. Mutexes are used to create locks around shared resources to avoid data corruption / unexpected / unwanted behaviour. Basically it provides for sequential execution in an asynchronous setup - the requirement for which stems from non-const non-atomic operations on shared data structures.

A vivid description of what mutexes would be the case of people (threads) queueing up to visit the restroom (shared resource). While one person (thread) is using the bathroom easing him/herself (non-const non-atomic operation), he/she should ensure the door is locked (mutex), otherwise it could lead to being caught in full monty (unwanted behaviour)

Java - Convert integer to string

This will do. Pretty trustworthy. : )

Just to clarify, this works and acceptable to use unless you are looking for micro optimization.

Why is the minidlna database not being refreshed?

MiniDLNA uses inotify, which is a functionality within the Linux kernel, used to discover changes in specific files and directories on the file system. To get it to work, you need inotify support enabled in your kernel.

The notify_interval (notice the lack of a leading 'i'), as far as I can tell, is only used if you have inotify disabled. To use the notify_interval (ie. get the server to 'poll' the file system for changes instead of automatically being notified of them), you have to disable the inotify functionality.

This is how it looks in my /etc/minidlna.conf:

# set this to no to disable inotify monitoring to automatically discover new files
# note: the default is yes
inotify=yes

Make sure that inotify is enabled in your kernel.

If it's not enabled, and you don't want to enable it, a forced rescan is the way to force MiniDLNA to re-scan the drive.

Check if option is selected with jQuery, if not select a default

This question is old and has a lot of views, so I'll just throw some stuff out there that will help some people I'm sure.

To check if a select element has any selected items:

if ($('#mySelect option:selected').length > 0) { alert('has a selected item'); }

or to check if a select has nothing selected:

if ($('#mySelect option:selected').length == 0) { alert('nothing selected'); }

or if you're in a loop of some sort and want to check if the current element is selected:

$('#mySelect option').each(function() {
    if ($(this).is(':selected')) { .. }
});

to check if an element is not selected while in a loop:

$('#mySelect option').each(function() {
    if ($(this).not(':selected')) { .. }
});

These are some of the ways to do this. jQuery has many different ways of accomplishing the same thing, so you usually just choose which one appears to be the most efficient.

How can I get my Twitter Bootstrap buttons to right align?

From Bootstrap V3.3.1 the following CSS style will solve this issue

.modal-open{
    padding-right: 0 !important;
}

Note: I tried all the suggestions in posts above and all addresses older versions and do not provide a fix to newset bootstrap versions.

Correct way to push into state array

You should not be operating the state at all. At least, not directly. If you want to update your array, you'll want to do something like this.

var newStateArray = this.state.myArray.slice();
newStateArray.push('new value');
this.setState(myArray: newStateArray);

Working on the state object directly is not desirable. You can also take a look at React's immutability helpers.

As to the "problem" of what key to press to close it, I (and thousands of others, I'm sure) simply use input("Press Enter to close").

How do I get a platform-dependent new line character?

Avoid appending strings using String + String etc, use StringBuilder instead.

String separator = System.getProperty( "line.separator" );
StringBuilder lines = new StringBuilder( line1 );
lines.append( separator );
lines.append( line2 );
lines.append( separator );
String result = lines.toString( );

Bootstrap 3 only for mobile

You can create a jQuery function to unload Bootstrap CSS files at the size of 768px, and load it back when resized to lower width. This way you can design a mobile website without touching the desktop version, by using col-xs-* only

function resize() {
if ($(window).width() > 767) {
$('link[rel=stylesheet][href~="bootstrap.min.css"]').prop('disabled', true);
$('link[rel=stylesheet][href~="bootstrap-theme.min.css"]').prop('disabled', true);
}   
else {
$('link[rel=stylesheet][href~="bootstrap.min.css"]').prop('disabled', false);
$('link[rel=stylesheet][href~="bootstrap-theme.min.css"]').prop('disabled', false);
}
}

and

$(document).ready(function() {
$(window).resize(resize);
resize();   

if ($(window).width() > 767) {
$('link[rel=stylesheet][href~="bootstrap.min.css"]').prop('disabled', true);
$('link[rel=stylesheet][href~="bootstrap-theme.min.css"]').prop('disabled', true);
}
});

How to remove certain characters from a string in C++?

   string str("(555) 555-5555");

   char chars[] = "()-";

   for (unsigned int i = 0; i < strlen(chars); ++i)
   {
      // you need include <algorithm> to use general algorithms like std::remove()
      str.erase (std::remove(str.begin(), str.end(), chars[i]), str.end());
   }

   // output: 555 5555555
   cout << str << endl;

To use as function:

void removeCharsFromString( string &str, char* charsToRemove ) {
   for ( unsigned int i = 0; i < strlen(charsToRemove); ++i ) {
      str.erase( remove(str.begin(), str.end(), charsToRemove[i]), str.end() );
   }
}
//example of usage:
removeCharsFromString( str, "()-" );

How to get a DOM Element from a JQuery Selector

Edit: seems I was wrong in assuming you could not get the element. As others have posted here, you can get it with:

$('#element').get(0);

I have verified this actually returns the DOM element that was matched.

Content Type text/xml; charset=utf-8 was not supported by service

First Google hit says:

this is usually a mismatch in the client/server bindings, where the message version in the service uses SOAP 1.2 (which expects application/soap+xml) and the version in the client uses SOAP 1.1 (which sends text/xml). WSHttpBinding uses SOAP 1.2, BasicHttpBinding uses SOAP 1.1.

It usually seems to be a wsHttpBinding on one side and a basicHttpBinding on the other.

Is there a function to split a string in PL/SQL?

I like the look of that apex utility. However its also good to know about the standard oracle functions you can use for this: subStr and inStr http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/functions001.htm

SQL Server Pivot Table with multiple column aggregates

The least complicated, most straight-forward way of doing this is by simply wrapping your main query with the pivot in a common table expression, then grouping/aggregating.

WITH PivotCTE AS
(
    select * from  mytransactions
    pivot (sum (totalcount) for country in ([Australia], [Austria])) as pvt
)
SELECT
    numericmonth,
    chardate,
    SUM(totalamount) AS totalamount,
    SUM(ISNULL(Australia, 0)) AS Australia,
    SUM(ISNULL(Austria, 0)) Austria
FROM PivotCTE
GROUP BY numericmonth, chardate

The ISNULL is to stop a NULL value from nullifying the sum (because NULL + any value = NULL)

What is the iOS 5.0 user agent string?

I use the following to detect different mobile devices, viewport and screen. Works quite well for me, might be helpful to others:

var pixelRatio = window.devicePixelRatio || 1;

var viewport = {
    width: window.innerWidth,
    height: window.innerHeight
};

var screen = {
    width: window.screen.availWidth * pixelRatio,
    height: window.screen.availHeight * pixelRatio
};

var iPhone = /iPhone/i.test(navigator.userAgent);
var iPhone4 = (iPhone && pixelRatio == 2);
var iPhone5 = /iPhone OS 5_0/i.test(navigator.userAgent);
var iPad = /iPad/i.test(navigator.userAgent);
var android = /android/i.test(navigator.userAgent);
var webos = /hpwos/i.test(navigator.userAgent);
var iOS = iPhone || iPad;
var mobile = iOS || android || webos;

window.devicePixelRatio is the ratio between physical pixels and device-independent pixels (dips) on the device. window.devicePixelRatio = physical pixels / dips.

How to save password when using Subversion from the console

None of these wonderful answers worked for me on a fresh install of Ubuntu. Instead, a clue from this answer did the trick for me.

I had to allow "simple" password store by setting this empty in ~/.subversion/config:

password-stores =

There was no existing setting, so being empty is significant.

This was in addition to:

store-passwords = yes

in ~/.subversion/servers.

Pass row number as variable in excel sheet

Assuming your row number is in B1, you can use INDIRECT:

=INDIRECT("A" & B1)

This takes a cell reference as a string (in this case, the concatenation of A and the value of B1 - 5), and returns the value at that cell.

How to use FormData in react-native?

Usage of formdata in react-native

I have used react-native-image-picker to select photo. In my case after choosing the photp from mobile. I'm storing it's info in component state. After, I'm sending POST request using fetch like below

const profile_pic = {
  name: this.state.formData.profile_pic.fileName,
  type: this.state.formData.profile_pic.type,
  path: this.state.formData.profile_pic.path,
  uri: this.state.formData.profile_pic.uri,
}
const formData = new FormData()
formData.append('first_name', this.state.formData.first_name);
formData.append('last_name', this.state.formData.last_name);
formData.append('profile_pic', profile_pic);
const Token = 'secret'

fetch('http://10.0.2.2:8000/api/profile/', {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
      Accept: "application/json",
      "Content-Type": "multipart/form-data",
      Authorization: `Token ${Token}`
    },
    body: formData
  })
  .then(response => console.log(response.json()))

How to navigate through textfields (Next / Done Buttons)

In Cocoa for Mac OS X, you have the next responder chain, where you can ask the text field what control should have focus next. This is what makes tabbing between text fields work. But since iOS devices do not have a keyboard, only touch, this concept has not survived the transition to Cocoa Touch.

This can be easily done anyway, with two assumptions:

  1. All "tabbable" UITextFields are on the same parent view.
  2. Their "tab-order" is defined by the tag property.

Assuming this you can override textFieldShouldReturn: as this:

-(BOOL)textFieldShouldReturn:(UITextField*)textField
{
  NSInteger nextTag = textField.tag + 1;
  // Try to find next responder
  UIResponder* nextResponder = [textField.superview viewWithTag:nextTag];
  if (nextResponder) {
    // Found next responder, so set it.
    [nextResponder becomeFirstResponder];
  } else {
    // Not found, so remove keyboard.
    [textField resignFirstResponder];
  }
  return NO; // We do not want UITextField to insert line-breaks.
}

Add some more code, and the assumptions can be ignored as well.

Swift 4.0

 func textFieldShouldReturn(_ textField: UITextField) -> Bool {
    let nextTag = textField.tag + 1
    // Try to find next responder
    let nextResponder = textField.superview?.viewWithTag(nextTag) as UIResponder!

    if nextResponder != nil {
        // Found next responder, so set it
        nextResponder?.becomeFirstResponder()
    } else {
        // Not found, so remove keyboard
        textField.resignFirstResponder()
    }

    return false
}

If the superview of the text field will be a UITableViewCell then next responder will be

let nextResponder = textField.superview?.superview?.superview?.viewWithTag(nextTag) as UIResponder!

How to choose between Hudson and Jenkins?

Use Jenkins.

Jenkins is the recent fork by the core developers of Hudson. To understand why, you need to know the history of the project. It was originally open source and supported by Sun. Like much of what Sun did, it was fairly open, but there was a bit of benign neglect. The source, trackers, website, etc. were hosted by Sun on their relatively closed java.net platform.

Then Oracle bought Sun. For various reasons Oracle has not been shy about leveraging what it perceives as its assets. Those include some control over the logistic platform of Hudson, and particularly control over the Hudson name. Many users and contributors weren't comfortable with that and decided to leave.

So it comes down to what Hudson vs Jenkins offers. Both Oracle's Hudson and Jenkins have the code. Hudson has Oracle and Sonatype's corporate support and the brand. Jenkins has most of the core developers, the community, and (so far) much more actual work.

Read that post I linked up top, then read the rest of these in chronological order. For balance you can read the Hudson/Oracle take on it. It's pretty clear to me who is playing defensive and who has real intentions for the project.

Configure nginx with multiple locations with different root folders on subdomain

Removing object from array in Swift 3

The correct and working one-line solution for deleting a unique object (named "objectToRemove") from an array of these objects (named "array") in Swift 3 is:

if let index = array.enumerated().filter( { $0.element === objectToRemove }).map({ $0.offset }).first {
   array.remove(at: index)
}

What is the best data type to use for money in C#?

Another option (especially if you're rolling you own class) is to use an int or a int64, and designate the lower four digits (or possibly even 2) as "right of the decimal point". So "on the edges" you'll need some "* 10000" on the way in and some "/ 10000" on the way out. This is the storage mechanism used by Microsoft's SQL Server, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-au/library/ms179882.aspx

The nicity of this is that all your summation can be done using (fast) integer arithmetic.

Avoid dropdown menu close on click inside

Detect if a browser in a mobile device (iOS/Android phone/tablet) is used

I believe that a much more reliable way to detect mobile devices is to look at the navigator.userAgent string. For example, on my iPhone the user agent string is:

Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 10_3_2 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/603.2.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/10.0 Mobile/14F89 Safari/602.1

Note that this string contains two telltale keywords: iPhone and Mobile. Other user agent strings for devices that I don't have are provided at:

https://deviceatlas.com/blog/list-of-user-agent-strings

Using this string, I set a JavaScript Boolean variable bMobile on my website to either true or false using the following code:

var bMobile =   // will be true if running on a mobile device
  navigator.userAgent.indexOf( "Mobile" ) !== -1 || 
  navigator.userAgent.indexOf( "iPhone" ) !== -1 || 
  navigator.userAgent.indexOf( "Android" ) !== -1 || 
  navigator.userAgent.indexOf( "Windows Phone" ) !== -1 ;

Can I call a function of a shell script from another shell script?

The problem

The currenly accepted answer works only under important condition. Given...

/foo/bar/first.sh:

function func1 {  
   echo "Hello $1"
}

and

/foo/bar/second.sh:

#!/bin/bash

source ./first.sh
func1 World

this works only if the first.sh is executed from within the same directory where the first.sh is located. Ie. if the current working path of shell is /foo, the attempt to run command

cd /foo
./bar/second.sh

prints error:

/foo/bar/second.sh: line 4: func1: command not found

That's because the source ./first.sh is relative to current working path, not the path of the script. Hence one solution might be to utilize subshell and run

(cd /foo/bar; ./second.sh)

More generic solution

Given...

/foo/bar/first.sh:

function func1 {  
   echo "Hello $1"
}

and

/foo/bar/second.sh:

#!/bin/bash

source $(dirname "$0")/first.sh

func1 World

then

cd /foo
./bar/second.sh

prints

Hello World

How it works

  • $0 returns relative or absolute path to the executed script
  • dirname returns relative path to directory, where the $0 script exists
  • $( dirname "$0" ) the dirname "$0" command returns relative path to directory of executed script, which is then used as argument for source command
  • in "second.sh", /first.sh just appends the name of imported shell script
  • source loads content of specified file into current shell

Android: Center an image

Here are 2 ways you can center an image (or images) both vertically and horizontally in LinearLayout.

(1) Use the android:layout_gravity="center" attribute in ImageView

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"> 
    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/imageView1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:src="@drawable/icon"
        android:layout_gravity="center"/>
</LinearLayout>

How this works: the android:layout_gravity="center" attribute in ImageView centers itself (i.e. the image) vertically and horizontally relative to its parent (LinearLayout).

-- OR --

(2) Alternatively, you can use the android:gravity="center" attribute in LinearLayout and omit the android:layout_gravity="center" attribute in ImageView :

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:gravity="center"> 
    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/imageView1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:src="@drawable/icon"
        android:layout_gravity="center"/>
</LinearLayout>

How this works: the android:gravity="center" attribute in LinearLayout centers its child/children (in this case, it's the image) vertically and horizontally.

How can I parse / create a date time stamp formatted with fractional seconds UTC timezone (ISO 8601, RFC 3339) in Swift?

Swift 4 • iOS 11.2.1 or later

extension ISO8601DateFormatter {
    convenience init(_ formatOptions: Options) {
        self.init()
        self.formatOptions = formatOptions
    }
}

extension Formatter {
    static let iso8601withFractionalSeconds = ISO8601DateFormatter([.withInternetDateTime, .withFractionalSeconds])
}

extension Date {
    var iso8601withFractionalSeconds: String { return Formatter.iso8601withFractionalSeconds.string(from: self) }
}

extension String {
    var iso8601withFractionalSeconds: Date? { return Formatter.iso8601withFractionalSeconds.date(from: self) }
}

Usage:

Date().description(with: .current)  //  Tuesday, February 5, 2019 at 10:35:01 PM Brasilia Summer Time"
let dateString = Date().iso8601withFractionalSeconds   //  "2019-02-06T00:35:01.746Z"

if let date = dateString.iso8601withFractionalSeconds {
    date.description(with: .current) // "Tuesday, February 5, 2019 at 10:35:01 PM Brasilia Summer Time"
    print(date.iso8601withFractionalSeconds)           //  "2019-02-06T00:35:01.746Z\n"
}

iOS 9 • Swift 3 or later

extension Formatter {
    static let iso8601withFractionalSeconds: DateFormatter = {
        let formatter = DateFormatter()
        formatter.calendar = Calendar(identifier: .iso8601)
        formatter.locale = Locale(identifier: "en_US_POSIX")
        formatter.timeZone = TimeZone(secondsFromGMT: 0)
        formatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSXXXXX"
        return formatter
    }()
}

Codable Protocol

If you need to encode and decode this format when working with Codable protocol you can create your own custom date encoding/decoding strategies:

extension JSONDecoder.DateDecodingStrategy {
    static let iso8601withFractionalSeconds = custom {
        let container = try $0.singleValueContainer()
        let string = try container.decode(String.self)
        guard let date = Formatter.iso8601withFractionalSeconds.date(from: string) else {
            throw DecodingError.dataCorruptedError(in: container,
                  debugDescription: "Invalid date: " + string)
        }
        return date
    }
}

and the encoding strategy

extension JSONEncoder.DateEncodingStrategy {
    static let iso8601withFractionalSeconds = custom {
        var container = $1.singleValueContainer()
        try container.encode(Formatter.iso8601withFractionalSeconds.string(from: $0))
    }
}

Playground Testing

let dates = [Date()]   // ["Feb 8, 2019 at 9:48 PM"]

encoding

let encoder = JSONEncoder()
encoder.dateEncodingStrategy = .iso8601withFractionalSeconds
let data = try! encoder.encode(dates)
print(String(data: data, encoding: .utf8)!)

decoding

let decoder = JSONDecoder()
decoder.dateDecodingStrategy = .iso8601withFractionalSeconds
let decodedDates = try! decoder.decode([Date].self, from: data)  // ["Feb 8, 2019 at 9:48 PM"]

Is it possible to make a Tree View with Angular?

When the tree structure is large, Angular (up to 1.4.x) becomes very slow at rendering a recursive template. After trying a number of these suggestions, I ended up creating a simple HTML string and using ng-bind-html to display it. Of course, this is not the way to use Angular features

A bare-bones recursive function is shown here (with minimal HTML):

function menu_tree(menu, prefix) {
    var html = '<div>' + prefix + menu.menu_name + ' - ' + menu.menu_desc + '</div>\n';
    if (!menu.items) return html;
    prefix += menu.menu_name + '/';
    for (var i=0; i<menu.items.length; ++i) {
        var item = menu.items[i];
        html += menu_tree(item, prefix);
    }
    return html;
}
// Generate the tree view and tell Angular to trust this HTML
$scope.html_menu = $sce.trustAsHtml(menu_tree(menu, ''));

In the template, it only needs this one line:

<div ng-bind-html="html_menu"></div>

This bypasses all of Angular's data binding and simply displays the HTML in a fraction of the time of the recursive template methods.

With a menu structure like this (a partial file tree of a Linux file system):

menu = {menu_name: '', menu_desc: 'root', items: [
            {menu_name: 'bin', menu_desc: 'Essential command binaries', items: [
                {menu_name: 'arch', menu_desc: 'print machine architecture'},
                {menu_name: 'bash', menu_desc: 'GNU Bourne-Again SHell'},
                {menu_name: 'cat', menu_desc: 'concatenate and print files'},
                {menu_name: 'date', menu_desc: 'display or set date and time'},
                {menu_name: '...', menu_desc: 'other files'}
            ]},
            {menu_name: 'boot', menu_desc: 'Static files of the boot loader'},
            {menu_name: 'dev', menu_desc: 'Device files'},
            {menu_name: 'etc', menu_desc: 'Host-specific system configuration'},
            {menu_name: 'lib', menu_desc: 'Essential shared libraries and kernel modules'},
            {menu_name: 'media', menu_desc: 'Mount point for removable media'},
            {menu_name: 'mnt', menu_desc: 'Mount point for mounting a filesystem temporarily'},
            {menu_name: 'opt', menu_desc: 'Add-on application software packages'},
            {menu_name: 'sbin', menu_desc: 'Essential system binaries'},
            {menu_name: 'srv', menu_desc: 'Data for services provided by this system'},
            {menu_name: 'tmp', menu_desc: 'Temporary files'},
            {menu_name: 'usr', menu_desc: 'Secondary hierarchy', items: [
                {menu_name: 'bin', menu_desc: 'user utilities and applications'},
                {menu_name: 'include', menu_desc: ''},
                {menu_name: 'local', menu_desc: '', items: [
                    {menu_name: 'bin', menu_desc: 'local user binaries'},
                    {menu_name: 'games', menu_desc: 'local user games'}
                ]},
                {menu_name: 'sbin', menu_desc: ''},
                {menu_name: 'share', menu_desc: ''},
                {menu_name: '...', menu_desc: 'other files'}
            ]},
            {menu_name: 'var', menu_desc: 'Variable data'}
        ]
       }

The output becomes:

- root
/bin - Essential command binaries
/bin/arch - print machine architecture
/bin/bash - GNU Bourne-Again SHell
/bin/cat - concatenate and print files
/bin/date - display or set date and time
/bin/... - other files

/dev - Device files
/etc - Host-specific system configuration
/lib - Essential shared libraries and kernel modules
/media - Mount point for removable media
/mnt - Mount point for mounting a filesystem temporarily
/opt - Add-on application software packages
/sbin - Essential system binaries
/srv - Data for services provided by this system
/tmp - Temporary files
/usr - Secondary hierarchy
/usr/bin - user utilities and applications
/usr/include -

/usr/local/bin - local user binaries
/usr/local/games - local user games
/usr/sbin -

IIS7: Setup Integrated Windows Authentication like in IIS6

So do you want them to get the IE password-challenge box, or should they be directed to your login page and enter their information there? If it's the second option, then you should at least enable Anonymous access to your login page, since the site won't know who they are yet.

If you want the first option, then the login page they're getting forwarded to will need to read the currently logged-in user and act based on that, since they would have had to correctly authenticate to get this far.

"Invalid JSON primitive" in Ajax processing

Using

HTML/JavaScript: Simple form validation on submit

You need to return the validating function. Something like:

onsubmit="return validateForm();"

Then the validating function should return false on errors. If everything is OK return true. Remember that the server has to validate as well.

How to get active user's UserDetails

Starting with Spring Security version 3.2, the custom functionality that has been implemented by some of the older answers, exists out of the box in the form of the @AuthenticationPrincipal annotation that is backed by AuthenticationPrincipalArgumentResolver.

An simple example of it's use is:

@Controller
public class MyController {
   @RequestMapping("/user/current/show")
   public String show(@AuthenticationPrincipal CustomUser customUser) {
        // do something with CustomUser
       return "view";
   }
}

CustomUser needs to be assignable from authentication.getPrincipal()

Here are the corresponding Javadocs of AuthenticationPrincipal and AuthenticationPrincipalArgumentResolver

is not JSON serializable

It's worth noting that the QuerySet.values_list() method doesn't actually return a list, but an object of type django.db.models.query.ValuesListQuerySet, in order to maintain Django's goal of lazy evaluation, i.e. the DB query required to generate the 'list' isn't actually performed until the object is evaluated.

Somewhat irritatingly, though, this object has a custom __repr__ method which makes it look like a list when printed out, so it's not always obvious that the object isn't really a list.

The exception in the question is caused by the fact that custom objects cannot be serialized in JSON, so you'll have to convert it to a list first, with...

my_list = list(self.get_queryset().values_list('code', flat=True))

...then you can convert it to JSON with...

json_data = json.dumps(my_list)

You'll also have to place the resulting JSON data in an HttpResponse object, which, apparently, should have a Content-Type of application/json, with...

response = HttpResponse(json_data, content_type='application/json')

...which you can then return from your function.

Guid.NewGuid() vs. new Guid()

[I understand this is an old thread, just adding some more detail] The two answers by Mark and Jon Hanna sum up the differences, albeit it may interest some that

Guid.NewGuid()

Eventually calls CoCreateGuid (a COM call to Ole32) (reference here) and the actual work is done by UuidCreate.

Guid.Empty is meant to be used to check if a Guid contains all zeroes. This could also be done via comparing the value of the Guid in question with new Guid()

So, if you need a unique identifier, the answer is Guid.NewGuid()

Get type name without full namespace

After the C# 6.0 (including) you can use nameof expression:

using Stuff = Some.Cool.Functionality  
class C {  
    static int Method1 (string x, int y) {}  
    static int Method1 (string x, string y) {}  
    int Method2 (int z) {}  
    string f<T>() => nameof(T);  
}  

var c = new C()  

nameof(C) -> "C"  
nameof(C.Method1) -> "Method1"   
nameof(C.Method2) -> "Method2"  
nameof(c.Method1) -> "Method1"   
nameof(c.Method2) -> "Method2"  
nameof(z) -> "z" // inside of Method2 ok, inside Method1 is a compiler error  
nameof(Stuff) = "Stuff"  
nameof(T) -> "T" // works inside of method but not in attributes on the method  
nameof(f) -> “f”  
nameof(f<T>) -> syntax error  
nameof(f<>) -> syntax error  
nameof(Method2()) -> error “This expression does not have a name”  

Note! nameof not get the underlying object's runtime Type, it is just the compile-time argument. If a method accepts an IEnumerable then nameof simply returns "IEnumerable", whereas the actual object could be "List".

MySQL : ERROR 1215 (HY000): Cannot add foreign key constraint

foreign key (dept_name) references department

This syntax is not valid for MySQL. It should instead be:

foreign key (dept_name) references department(dept_name)

MySQL requires dept_name to be used twice. Once to define the foreign column, and once to define the primary column.

13.1.17.2. Using FOREIGN KEY Constraints

... [the] essential syntax for a foreign key constraint definition in a CREATE TABLE or ALTER TABLE statement looks like this:

What is the use of WPFFontCache Service in WPF? WPFFontCache_v0400.exe taking 100 % CPU all the time this exe is running, why?

From MSDN:

The WPF Font Cache service shares font data between WPF applications. The first WPF application you run starts this service if the service is not already running. If you are using Windows Vista, you can set the "Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) Font Cache 3.0.0.0" service from "Manual" (the default) to "Automatic (Delayed Start)" to reduce the initial start-up time of WPF applications.

There's no harm in disabling it, but WPF apps tend to start faster and load fonts faster with it running.
It is supposed to be a performance optimization. The fact that it is not in your case makes me suspect that perhaps your font cache is corrupted. To clear it, follow these steps:

  1. Stop the WPF Font Cache 4.0 service.
  2. Delete all of the WPFFontCache_v0400* files. In Windows XP, you'll find them in your C:\Documents and Settings\LocalService\Local Settings\Application Data\ folder.
  3. Start the service again.

Remove scrollbar from iframe

This is a last resort, but worth mentioning - you can use the ::-webkit-scrollbar pseudo-element on the iframe's parent to get rid of those famous 90's scroll bars.

::-webkit-scrollbar {
    width: 0px;
    height: 0px;
}

Edit: though it's relatively supported, ::-webkit-scrollbar may not suit all browsers. use with caution :)

How to read pdf file and write it to outputStream

You can use PdfBox from Apache which is simple to use and has good performance.

Here is an example of extracting text from a PDF file (you can read more here) :

import java.io.*;
import org.apache.pdfbox.pdmodel.*;
import org.apache.pdfbox.util.*;

public class PDFTest {

 public static void main(String[] args){
 PDDocument pd;
 BufferedWriter wr;
 try {
         File input = new File("C:\\Invoice.pdf");  // The PDF file from where you would like to extract
         File output = new File("C:\\SampleText.txt"); // The text file where you are going to store the extracted data
         pd = PDDocument.load(input);
         System.out.println(pd.getNumberOfPages());
         System.out.println(pd.isEncrypted());
         pd.save("CopyOfInvoice.pdf"); // Creates a copy called "CopyOfInvoice.pdf"
         PDFTextStripper stripper = new PDFTextStripper();
         wr = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream(output)));
         stripper.writeText(pd, wr);
         if (pd != null) {
             pd.close();
         }
        // I use close() to flush the stream.
        wr.close();
 } catch (Exception e){
         e.printStackTrace();
        } 
     }
}

UPDATE:

You can get the text using PDFTextStripper:

PDFTextStripper reader = new PDFTextStripper();
String pageText = reader.getText(pd); // PDDocument object created

Git submodule update

This GitPro page does summarize the consequence of a git submodule update nicely

When you run git submodule update, it checks out the specific version of the project, but not within a branch. This is called having a detached head — it means the HEAD file points directly to a commit, not to a symbolic reference.
The issue is that you generally don’t want to work in a detached head environment, because it’s easy to lose changes.
If you do an initial submodule update, commit in that submodule directory without creating a branch to work in, and then run git submodule update again from the superproject without committing in the meantime, Git will overwrite your changes without telling you. Technically you won’t lose the work, but you won’t have a branch pointing to it, so it will be somewhat difficult to retrieve.


Note March 2013:

As mentioned in "git submodule tracking latest", a submodule now (git1.8.2) can track a branch.

# add submodule to track master branch
git submodule add -b master [URL to Git repo];

# update your submodule
git submodule update --remote 
# or (with rebase)
git submodule update --rebase --remote

See "git submodule update --remote vs git pull".

MindTooth's answer illustrate a manual update (without local configuration):

git submodule -q foreach git pull -q origin master

In both cases, that will change the submodules references (the gitlink, a special entry in the parent repo index), and you will need to add, commit and push said references from the main repo.
Next time you will clone that parent repo, it will populate the submodules to reflect those new SHA1 references.

The rest of this answer details the classic submodule feature (reference to a fixed commit, which is the all point behind the notion of a submodule).


To avoid this issue, create a branch when you work in a submodule directory with git checkout -b work or something equivalent. When you do the submodule update a second time, it will still revert your work, but at least you have a pointer to get back to.

Switching branches with submodules in them can also be tricky. If you create a new branch, add a submodule there, and then switch back to a branch without that submodule, you still have the submodule directory as an untracked directory:


So, to answer your questions:

can I create branches/modifications and use push/pull just like I would in regular repos, or are there things to be cautious about?

You can create a branch and push modifications.

WARNING (from Git Submodule Tutorial): Always publish (push) the submodule change before publishing (push) the change to the superproject that references it. If you forget to publish the submodule change, others won't be able to clone the repository.

how would I advance the submodule referenced commit from say (tagged) 1.0 to 1.1 (even though the head of the original repo is already at 2.0)

The page "Understanding Submodules" can help

Git submodules are implemented using two moving parts:

  • the .gitmodules file and
  • a special kind of tree object.

These together triangulate a specific revision of a specific repository which is checked out into a specific location in your project.


From the git submodule page

you cannot modify the contents of the submodule from within the main project

100% correct: you cannot modify a submodule, only refer to one of its commits.

This is why, when you do modify a submodule from within the main project, you:

  • need to commit and push within the submodule (to the upstream module), and
  • then go up in your main project, and re-commit (in order for that main project to refer to the new submodule commit you just created and pushed)

A submodule enables you to have a component-based approach development, where the main project only refers to specific commits of other components (here "other Git repositories declared as sub-modules").

A submodule is a marker (commit) to another Git repository which is not bound by the main project development cycle: it (the "other" Git repo) can evolves independently.
It is up to the main project to pick from that other repo whatever commit it needs.

However, should you want to, out of convenience, modify one of those submodules directly from your main project, Git allows you to do that, provided you first publish those submodule modifications to its original Git repo, and then commit your main project refering to a new version of said submodule.

But the main idea remains: referencing specific components which:

  • have their own lifecycle
  • have their own set of tags
  • have their own development

The list of specific commits you are refering to in your main project defines your configuration (this is what Configuration Management is all about, englobing mere Version Control System)

If a component could really be developed at the same time as your main project (because any modification on the main project would involve modifying the sub-directory, and vice-versa), then it would be a "submodule" no more, but a subtree merge (also presented in the question Transferring legacy code base from cvs to distributed repository), linking the history of the two Git repo together.

Does that help understanding the true nature of Git Submodules?

Uncaught syntaxerror: unexpected identifier?

There are errors here :

var formTag = document.getElementsByTagName("form"), // form tag is an array
selectListItem = $('select'),
makeSelect = document.createElement('select'),
makeSelect.setAttribute("id", "groups");

The code must change to:

var formTag = document.getElementsByTagName("form");
var selectListItem = $('select');
var makeSelect = document.createElement('select');
makeSelect.setAttribute("id", "groups");

By the way, there is another error at line 129 :

var createLi.appendChild(createSubList);

Replace it with:

createLi.appendChild(createSubList);

Not connecting to SQL Server over VPN

You may not have the UDP port open/VPN-forwarded, it's port number 1433.

Despite client protocol name of "TCP/IP", mssql uses UDP for bitbanging.

Difference between require, include, require_once and include_once?

I was using function as below:

function doSomething() {
    require_once(xyz.php);
    ....
}

There were constant values declared in xyz.php.

I have to call this doSomething() function from another PHP script file.

But I observed behavior while calling this function in a loop, for first iteration doSomething() was getting constant values within xyz.php, but later every iteration doSomething() was not able to get the constant values declared in xyz.php.

I solved my problem by switching from require_once() to include(), updated doSomething() code is as below:

function doSomething() {
    include(xyz.php);
    ....
}

Now every iteration call to doSomething() gets the constant values defined in xyz.php.

Android "Only the original thread that created a view hierarchy can touch its views."

I had a similar issue, and my solution is ugly, but it works:

void showCode() {
    hideRegisterMessage(); // Hides view 
    final Handler handler = new Handler();
    handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            showRegisterMessage(); // Shows view
        }
    }, 3000); // After 3 seconds
}

Center a column using Twitter Bootstrap 3

Bootstrap version 3 has a .text-center class.

Just add this class:

text-center

It will simply load this style:

.text-center {
    text-align: center;
}

Example:

<div class="container-fluid">
  <div class="row text-center">
     <div class="col-md-12">
          Bootstrap 4 is coming....
      </div>
  </div>
</div>

What are the "standard unambiguous date" formats for string-to-date conversion in R?

Converting the date without specifying the current format can bring this error to you easily.

Here is an example:

sdate <- "2015.10.10"

Convert without specifying the Format:

date <- as.Date(sdate4) # ==> This will generate the same error"""Error in charToDate(x): character string is not in a standard unambiguous format""".

Convert with specified Format:

date <- as.Date(sdate4, format = "%Y.%m.%d") # ==> Error Free Date Conversion.

Rename Files and Directories (Add Prefix)

Here is a simple script that you can use. I like using the non-standard module File::chdir to handle managing cd operations, so to use this script as-is you will need to install it (sudo cpan File::chdir).

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use File::Copy;
use File::chdir; # allows cd-ing by use of $CWD, much easier but needs CPAN module

die "Usage: $0 dir prefix" unless (@ARGV >= 2);
my ($dir, $pre) = @ARGV;

opendir(my $dir_handle, $dir) or die "Cannot open directory $dir";
my @files = readdir($dir_handle);
close($dir_handle);

$CWD = $dir; # cd to the directory, needs File::chdir

foreach my $file (@files) {
  next if ($file =~ /^\.+$/); # avoid folders . and ..
  next if ($0 =~ /$file/); # avoid moving this script if it is in the directory

  move($file, $pre . $file) or warn "Cannot rename file $file: $!";
}

MongoDB running but can't connect using shell

I had same problem. In my case MongoDB server wasn't running.

Try to open this in your web browser:

http://localhost:28017

If you can't, this means that you have to start MongoDB server.

Run mongod in another terminal tab. Then in your main tab run mongo which is is the shell that connects to your MongoDB server.

How to convert date to timestamp?

In case you came here looking for current timestamp

How to use the command update-alternatives --config java

I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. Most of the time, when I change my java version, I also want to use the same javac version.
I use update-alternatives this way, using a java_home alternative instead :

Installation

Install every java version in /opt/java/<version>, for example

~$ ll /opt/java/
total 24
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 jan. 22 21:14 ./
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 feb.  7 13:40 ../
drwxr-xr-x  8 stephanecodes stephanecodes 4096 jan.   8  2019 jdk-11.0.2/
drwxr-xr-x  7 stephanecodes stephanecodes 4096 dec.  15  2018 jdk1.8.0_201/

Configure alternatives

~$ sudo update-alternatives --install /opt/java/current java_home /opt/java/jdk-11.0.2/ 100
~$ sudo update-alternatives --install /opt/java/current java_home /opt/java/jdk1.8.0_201 200

Declare JAVA_HOME (In this case, I use a global initialization script for this)

~$ sudo sh -c 'echo export JAVA_HOME=\"/opt/java/current\" >> environment.sh'

Log Out or restart Ubuntu (this will reload /etc/profile.d/environment.sh)

Usage

Change java version

Choose the version you want to use

~$ sudo update-alternatives --config java_home

There are 2 choices for the alternative java_home (providing /opt/java/current).

  Selection    Path                    Priority   Status
------------------------------------------------------------
  0            /opt/java/jdk-11.0.2     200       auto mode
  1            /opt/java/jdk-11.0.2     200       manual mode
* 2            /opt/java/jdk1.8.0_201   100       manual mode

Press <enter> to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number: 

Check version

~$ java -version
openjdk version "11.0.2" 2019-01-15
OpenJDK Runtime Environment 18.9 (build 11.0.2+9)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 18.9 (build 11.0.2+9, mixed mode)

~$ javac -version
javac 11.0.2

Tip

Add the following line to ~/.bash_aliases file :

alias change-java-version="sudo update-alternatives --config java_home && java -version && javac -version"

Now use the change-java-version command to change java version

What svn command would list all the files modified on a branch?

You can also get a quick list of changed files if thats all you're looking for using the status command with the -u option

svn status -u

This will show you what revision the file is in the current code base versus the latest revision in the repository. I only use diff when I actually want to see differences in the files themselves.

There is a good tutorial on svn command here that explains a lot of these common scenarios: SVN Command Reference

    if(isset($_POST['Submit']))

Why does Maven have such a bad rep?

Maven does not respect the KISS principle. Try to do anything besides mvn clean install and you are in trouble. With ant you can do whatever you want without any pain.

Scaling a System.Drawing.Bitmap to a given size while maintaining aspect ratio

The bitmap constructor has resizing built in.

Bitmap resized = new Bitmap(original,new Size(original.Width/4,original.Height/4));
resized.Save("DSC_0002_thumb.jpg");

       def sum(a,b) { a+b }
    }

    $ cat app.gvy
    import lib.Lib
    Lib.saySomething();
    println new Lib().sum(37,5)

jQuery’s .bind() vs. .on()

From the jQuery documentation:

As of jQuery 1.7, the .on() method is the preferred method for attaching event handlers to a document. For earlier versions, the .bind() method is used for attaching an event handler directly to elements. Handlers are attached to the currently selected elements in the jQuery object, so those elements must exist at the point the call to .bind() occurs. For more flexible event binding, see the discussion of event delegation in .on() or .delegate().

Differences between Oracle JDK and OpenJDK

It is very close - our build process for Oracle JDK releases builds on OpenJDK 7 by adding just a couple of pieces, like the deployment code, which includes Oracle's implementation of the Java Plugin and Java WebStart, as well as some closed source third-party components like a graphics rasterizer, some open-source third party components, like Rhino, and a few bits and pieces here and there, like additional documentation or third-party fonts. Moving forward, we intend to open source all pieces of the Oracle JDK except those that we consider commercial features such as JRockit Mission Control (not yet available in Oracle JDK) and replace encumbered third-party components with open source alternatives to achieve closer parity between the codebases.

· Yes, the garbage collection and other JVM parameters are the same.

· The performance of GC is the same in both.

Efficient thresholding filter of an array with numpy

b = a[a>threshold] this should do

I tested as follows:

import numpy as np, datetime
# array of zeros and ones interleaved
lrg = np.arange(2).reshape((2,-1)).repeat(1000000,-1).flatten()

t0 = datetime.datetime.now()
flt = lrg[lrg==0]
print datetime.datetime.now() - t0

t0 = datetime.datetime.now()
flt = np.array(filter(lambda x:x==0, lrg))
print datetime.datetime.now() - t0

I got

$ python test.py
0:00:00.028000
0:00:02.461000

Tracking Google Analytics Page Views with AngularJS

Just a quick addition. If you're using the new analytics.js, then:

var track = function() {     
 ga('send', 'pageview', {'page': $location.path()});                
};

Additionally one tip is that google analytics will not fire on localhost. So if you are testing on localhost, use the following instead of the default create (full documentation)

ga('create', 'UA-XXXX-Y', {'cookieDomain': 'none'});

How do I sort a dictionary by value?

Try the following approach. Let us define a dictionary called mydict with the following data:

mydict = {'carl':40,
          'alan':2,
          'bob':1,
          'danny':3}

If one wanted to sort the dictionary by keys, one could do something like:

for key in sorted(mydict.iterkeys()):
    print "%s: %s" % (key, mydict[key])

This should return the following output:

alan: 2
bob: 1
carl: 40
danny: 3

On the other hand, if one wanted to sort a dictionary by value (as is asked in the question), one could do the following:

for key, value in sorted(mydict.iteritems(), key=lambda (k,v): (v,k)):
    print "%s: %s" % (key, value)

The result of this command (sorting the dictionary by value) should return the following:

bob: 1
alan: 2
danny: 3
carl: 40

Received an invalid column length from the bcp client for colid 6

I just stumbled upon this and using @b_stil's snippet, I was able to figure the culprit column. And on futher investigation, I figured i needed to trim the column just like @Liji Chandran suggested but I was using IExcelDataReader and I couldn't figure out an easy way to validate and trim each of my 160 columns.

Then I stumbled upon this class, (ValidatingDataReader) class from CSVReader.

Interesting thing about this class is that it gives you the source and destination columns data length, the culprit row and even the column value that's causing the error.

All I did was just trim all (nvarchar, varchar, char and nchar) columns.

I just changed my GetValue method to this:

 object IDataRecord.GetValue(int i)
    {
        object columnValue = reader.GetValue(i);

        if (i > -1 && i < lookup.Length)
        {
            DataRow columnDef = lookup[i];
            if
            (
                (
                    (string)columnDef["DataTypeName"] == "varchar" ||
                    (string)columnDef["DataTypeName"] == "nvarchar" ||
                    (string)columnDef["DataTypeName"] == "char" ||
                    (string)columnDef["DataTypeName"] == "nchar"
                ) &&
                (
                    columnValue != null &&
                    columnValue != DBNull.Value
                )
            )
            {
                string stringValue = columnValue.ToString().Trim();

                columnValue = stringValue;


                if (stringValue.Length > (int)columnDef["ColumnSize"])

                        " with length " + stringValue.Length.ToString("###,##0") +
                        " from source column " + (this as IDataRecord).GetName(i) +

What is the difference between Hibernate and Spring Data JPA

I disagree SpringJPA makes live easy. Yes, it provides some classes and you can make some simple DAO fast, but in fact, it's all you can do. If you want to do something more than findById() or save, you must go through hell:

  • no EntityManager access in org.springframework.data.repository classes (this is basic JPA class!)
  • own transaction management (hibernate transactions disallowed)
  • huge problems with more than one datasources configuration
  • no datasource pooling (HikariCP must be in use as third party library)

Why own transaction management is an disadvantage? Since Java 1.8 allows default methods into interfaces, Spring annotation based transactions, simple doesn't work.

Unfortunately, SpringJPA is based on reflections, and sometimes you need to point a method name or entity package into annotations (!). That's why any refactoring makes big crash. Sadly, @Transactional works for primary DS only :( So, if you have more than one DataSources, remember - transactions works just for primary one :)

What are the main differences between Hibernate and Spring Data JPA?

Hibernate is JPA compatibile, SpringJPA Spring compatibile. Your HibernateJPA DAO can be used with JavaEE or Hibernate Standalone, when SpringJPA can be used within Spring - SpringBoot for example

When should we not use Hibernate or Spring Data JPA? Also, when may Spring JDBC template perform better than Hibernate / Spring Data JPA?

Use Spring JDBC only when you need to use much Joins or when you need to use Spring having multiple datasource connections. Generally, avoid JPA for Joins.

But my general advice, use fresh solution—Daobab (http://www.daobab.io). Daobab is my Java and any JPA engine integrator, and I believe it will help much in your tasks :)

The value of hjust and vjust are only defined between 0 and 1:

  • 0 means left-justified
  • 1 means right-justified

Source: ggplot2, Hadley Wickham, page 196

(Yes, I know that in most cases you can use it beyond this range, but don't expect it to behave in any specific way. This is outside spec.)

hjust controls horizontal justification and vjust controls vertical justification.

An example should make this clear:

td <- expand.grid(
    hjust=c(0, 0.5, 1),
    vjust=c(0, 0.5, 1),
    angle=c(0, 45, 90),
    text="text"
)

ggplot(td, aes(x=hjust, y=vjust)) + 
    geom_point() +
    geom_text(aes(label=text, angle=angle, hjust=hjust, vjust=vjust)) + 
    facet_grid(~angle) +
    scale_x_continuous(breaks=c(0, 0.5, 1), expand=c(0, 0.2)) +
    scale_y_continuous(breaks=c(0, 0.5, 1), expand=c(0, 0.2))

enter image description here


To understand what happens when you change the hjust in axis text, you need to understand that the horizontal alignment for axis text is defined in relation not to the x-axis, but to the entire plot (where this includes the y-axis text). (This is, in my view, unfortunate. It would be much more useful to have the alignment relative to the axis.)

DF <- data.frame(x=LETTERS[1:3],y=1:3)
p <- ggplot(DF, aes(x,y)) + geom_point() + 
    ylab("Very long label for y") +
    theme(axis.title.y=element_text(angle=0))


p1 <- p + theme(axis.title.x=element_text(hjust=0)) + xlab("X-axis at hjust=0")
p2 <- p + theme(axis.title.x=element_text(hjust=0.5)) + xlab("X-axis at hjust=0.5")
p3 <- p + theme(axis.title.x=element_text(hjust=1)) + xlab("X-axis at hjust=1")

library(ggExtra)
align.plots(p1, p2, p3)

enter image description here


To explore what happens with vjust aligment of axis labels:

DF <- data.frame(x=c("a\na","b","cdefghijk","l"),y=1:4)
p <- ggplot(DF, aes(x,y)) + geom_point()

p1 <- p + theme(axis.text.x=element_text(vjust=0, colour="red")) + 
        xlab("X-axis labels aligned with vjust=0")
p2 <- p + theme(axis.text.x=element_text(vjust=0.5, colour="red")) + 
        xlab("X-axis labels aligned with vjust=0.5")
p3 <- p + theme(axis.text.x=element_text(vjust=1, colour="red")) + 
        xlab("X-axis labels aligned with vjust=1")


library(ggExtra)
align.plots(p1, p2, p3)

Jquery set radio button checked, using id and class selectors

"...by a class and a div."

I assume when you say "div" you mean "id"? Try this:

$('#test2.test1').prop('checked', true);

No need to muck about with your [attributename=value] style selectors because id has its own format as does class, and they're easily combined although given that id is supposed to be unique it should be enough on its own unless your meaning is "select that element only if it currently has the specified class".

Or more generally to select an input where you want to specify a multiple attribute selector:

$('input:radio[class=test1][id=test2]').prop('checked', true);

That is, list each attribute with its own square brackets.

Note that unless you have a pretty old version of jQuery you should use .prop() rather than .attr() for this purpose.

Can't install any package with node npm

Following on from LAXIT KUMAR's recommendation, we've found that at times the registry URL can get corrupted, not sure how this is happening, however to cure, just reset it:

npm config set registry https://registry.npmjs.org

The 404 disappeared as it was going to the correct location again.

Android: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: String resource ID #0x5

Just wanted to point out another reason this error can be thrown is if you defined a string resource for one translation of your app but did not provide a default string resource.

Example of the Issue:

As you can see below, I had a string resource for a Spanish string "get_started". It can still be referenced in code, but if the phone is not in Spanish it will have no resource to load and crash when calling getString().

values-es/strings.xml

<string name="get_started">SIGUIENTE</string>

Reference to resource

textView.setText(getString(R.string.get_started)

Solution to the Issue

Preventing this is quite simple, just make sure that you always have a default string resource in values/strings.xml so that if the phone is in another language it will always have a resource to fall back to.

values/strings.xml

<string name="get_started">Get Started</string>

values-en/strings.xml

<string name="get_started">Get Started</string>

values-es/strings.xml

<string name="get_started">Siguiente</string>

values-de/strings.xml

<string name="get_started">Ioslegen</string>

Check if registry key exists using VBScript

See the Scripting Guy! Blog:

How Can I Tell Whether a Value Exists in the Registry?

They discuss doing the check on a remote computer and show that if you read a string value from the key, and if the value is Null (as opposed to Empty), the key does not exist.

With respect to using the RegRead method, if the term "key" refers to the path (or folder) where registry values are kept, and if the leaf items in that key are called "values", using WshShell.RegRead(strKey) to detect key existence (as opposed to value existance) consider the following (as observed on Windows XP):

If strKey name is not the name of an existing registry path, Err.Description reads "Invalid root in registry key"... with an Err.Number of 0x80070002.

If strKey names a registry path that exists but does not include a trailing "\" the RegRead method appears to interpret strKey as a path\value reference rather than as a simple path reference, and returns the same Err.Number but with an Err.Description of "Unable to open registry key". The term "key" in the error message appears to mean "value". This is the same result obtained when strKey references a path\value where the path exists, but the value does not exist.

Programmatically Hide/Show Android Soft Keyboard

Adding this to your code android:focusableInTouchMode="true" will make sure that your keypad doesn't appear on startup for your edittext box. You want to add this line to your linear layout that contains the EditTextBox. You should be able to play with this to solve both your problems. I have tested this. Simple solution.

ie: In your app_list_view.xml file

<LinearLayout 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
    android:orientation="vertical" 
    android:focusableInTouchMode="true">
    <EditText 
        android:id="@+id/filter_edittext"       
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        android:hint="Search" 
        android:inputType="text" 
        android:maxLines="1"/>
    <ListView 
        android:id="@id/android:list" 
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:layout_weight="1.0" 
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
        android:focusable="true" 
        android:descendantFocusability="beforeDescendants"/>
</LinearLayout> 

------------------ EDIT: To Make keyboard appear on startup -----------------------

This is to make they Keyboard appear on the username edittextbox on startup. All I've done is added an empty Scrollview to the bottom of the .xml file, this puts the first edittext into focus and pops up the keyboard. I admit this is a hack, but I am assuming you just want this to work. I've tested it, and it works fine.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 
    android:orientation="vertical" 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    android:paddingLeft="20dip"  
    android:paddingRight="20dip">
    <EditText 
        android:id="@+id/userName" 
        android:singleLine="true" 
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"  
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        android:hint="Username"  
        android:imeOptions="actionDone" 
        android:inputType="text"
        android:maxLines="1"
       />
    <EditText 
        android:id="@+id/password" 
        android:password="true" 
        android:singleLine="true"  
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        android:hint="Password" />
    <ScrollView
        android:id="@+id/ScrollView01"  
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"   
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"> 
    </ScrollView>
</LinearLayout>

If you are looking for a more eloquent solution, I've found this question which might help you out, it is not as simple as the solution above but probably a better solution. I haven't tested it but it apparently works. I think it is similar to the solution you've tried which didn't work for you though.

Hope this is what you are looking for.

Cheers!

How is the default max Java heap size determined?

On Windows, you can use the following command to find out the defaults on the system where your applications runs.

java -XX:+PrintFlagsFinal -version | findstr HeapSize

Look for the options MaxHeapSize (for -Xmx) and InitialHeapSize for -Xms.

On a Unix/Linux system, you can do

java -XX:+PrintFlagsFinal -version | grep HeapSize

I believe the resulting output is in bytes.

How to use apply a custom drawable to RadioButton?

if you want to change the only icon of radio button then you can only add android:button="@drawable/ic_launcher" to your radio button and for making sensitive on click then you have to use the selector

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

<item android:drawable="@drawable/image_what_you_want_on_select_state" android:state_checked="true"/>
<item android:drawable="@drawable/image_what_you_want_on_un_select_state"    android:state_checked="false"/>


 </selector>

and set to your radio android:background="@drawable/name_of_selector"

Checking the form field values before submitting that page

Don't know for sure, but it sounds like it is still submitting. I quick solution would be to change your (guessing at your code here):

<input type="submit" value="Submit" onclick="checkform()">

to a button:

<input type="button" value="Submit" onclick="checkform()">

That way your form still gets submitted (from the else part of your checkform()) and it shouldn't be reloading the page.

There are other, perhaps better, ways of handling it but this works in the mean time.

jQuery get the name of a select option

How do I show a console output/window in a forms application?

Why not just leave it as a Window Forms app, and create a simple form to mimic the Console. The form can be made to look just like the black-screened Console, and have it respond directly to key press. Then, in the program.cs file, you decide whether you need to Run the main form or the ConsoleForm. For example, I use this approach to capture the command line arguments in the program.cs file. I create the ConsoleForm, initially hide it, then pass the command line strings to an AddCommand function in it, which displays the allowed commands. Finally, if the user gave the -h or -? command, I call the .Show on the ConsoleForm and when the user hits any key on it, I shut down the program. If the user doesn't give the -? command, I close the hidden ConsoleForm and Run the main form.

Convert char to int in C#

Principle:

char foo = '2';
int bar = foo & 15;

The binary of the ASCII charecters 0-9 is:

0   -   0011 0000
1   -   0011 0001
2   -   0011 0010
3   -   0011 0011
4   -   0011 0100
5   -   0011 0101
6   -   0011 0110
7   -   0011 0111
8   -   0011 1000
9   -   0011 1001

and if you take in each one of them the first 4 LSB (using bitwise AND with 8'b00001111 that equals to 15) you get the actual number (0000 = 0,0001=1,0010=2,... )

Usage:

public static int CharToInt(char c)
{
    return 0b0000_1111 & (byte) c;
}

What is the difference between using constructor vs getInitialState in React / React Native?

These days we don't have to call the constructor inside the component - we can directly call state={something:""}, otherwise previously first we have do declare constructor with super() to inherit every thing from React.Component class then inside constructor we initialize our state.

If using React.createClass then define initialize state with the getInitialState method.

Swapping two variable value without using third variable

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(void)
{   
 int a,b;
 cout<<"Enter a integer" <<endl;
 cin>>a;
 cout<<"\n Enter b integer"<<endl;
 cin>>b;

  a = a^b;
  b = a^b;
  a = a^b;

  cout<<" a= "<<a <<"   b="<<b<<endl;
  return 0;
}

Update: In this we are taking input of two integers from user. Then we are using the bitwise XOR operation to swap them.

Say we have two integers a=4 and b=9 and then:

a=a^b --> 13=4^9 
b=a^b --> 4=13^9 
a=a^b --> 9=13^9

How to use a client certificate to authenticate and authorize in a Web API

Tracing helped me find what the problem was (Thank you Fabian for that suggestion). I found with further testing that I could get the client certificate to work on another server (Windows Server 2012). I was testing this on my development machine (Window 7) so I could debug this process. So by comparing the trace to an IIS Server that worked and one that did not I was able to pinpoint the relevant lines in the trace log. Here is a portion of a log where the client certificate worked. This is the setup right before the send

System.Net Information: 0 : [17444] InitializeSecurityContext(In-Buffers count=2, Out-Buffer length=0, returned code=CredentialsNeeded).
System.Net Information: 0 : [17444] SecureChannel#54718731 - We have user-provided certificates. The server has not specified any issuers, so try all the certificates.
System.Net Information: 0 : [17444] SecureChannel#54718731 - Selected certificate:

Here is what the trace log looked like on the machine where the client certificate failed.

System.Net Information: 0 : [19616] InitializeSecurityContext(In-Buffers count=2, Out-Buffer length=0, returned code=CredentialsNeeded).
System.Net Information: 0 : [19616] SecureChannel#54718731 - We have user-provided certificates. The server has specified 137 issuer(s). Looking for certificates that match any of the issuers.
System.Net Information: 0 : [19616] SecureChannel#54718731 - Left with 0 client certificates to choose from.
System.Net Information: 0 : [19616] Using the cached credential handle.

Focusing on the line that indicated the server specified 137 issuers I found this Q&A that seemed similar to my issue. The solution for me was not the one marked as an answer since my certificate was in the trusted root. The answer is the one under it where you update the registry. I just added the value to the registry key.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL

Value name: SendTrustedIssuerList Value type: REG_DWORD Value data: 0 (False)

After adding this value to the registry it started to work on my Windows 7 machine. This appears to be a Windows 7 issue.

Pandas left outer join multiple dataframes on multiple columns

Have border wrap around text

Not sure, if that's what you want, but you could make the inner div an inline-element. This way the border should be wrapped only around the text. Even better than that is to use an inline-element for your title.

Solution 1

<div id="page" style="width: 600px;">
    <div id="title" style="display: inline; border...">Title</div>
</div>

Solution 2

<div id="page" style="width: 600px;">
    <span id="title" style="border...">Title</span>
</div>

Edit: Strange, SO doesn't interpret my code-examples correctly as block, so I had to use inline-code-method.

How do I compare two strings in Perl?

print "Matched!\n" if ($str1 eq $str2)

Perl has seperate string comparison and numeric comparison operators to help with the loose typing in the language. You should read perlop for all the different operators.

How do I search a Perl array for a matching string?

It depends on what you want the search to do:

  • if you want to find all matches, use the built-in grep:

    my @matches = grep { /pattern/ } @list_of_strings;
    
  • if you want to find the first match, use first in List::Util:

    use List::Util 'first';  
    my $match = first { /pattern/ } @list_of_strings;
    
  • if you want to find the count of all matches, use true in List::MoreUtils:

    use List::MoreUtils 'true';
    my $count = true { /pattern/ } @list_of_strings;
    
  • if you want to know the index of the first match, use first_index in List::MoreUtils:

    use List::MoreUtils 'first_index'; 
    my $index = first_index { /pattern/ } @list_of_strings;
    
  • if you want to simply know if there was a match, but you don't care which element it was or its value, use any in List::Util:

    use List::Util 1.33 'any';
    my $match_found = any { /pattern/ } @list_of_strings;
    

All these examples do similar things at their core, but their implementations have been heavily optimized to be fast, and will be faster than any pure-perl implementation that you might write yourself with grep, map or a for loop.


Note that the algorithm for doing the looping is a separate issue than performing the individual matches. To match a string case-insensitively, you can simply use the i flag in the pattern: /pattern/i. You should definitely read through perldoc perlre if you have not previously done so.

SQLite DateTime comparison

Right now i am developing using System.Data.SQlite NuGet package (version 1.0.109.2). Which using SQLite version 3.24.0.

And this works for me.

SELECT * FROM tables WHERE datetime 
BETWEEN '2018-10-01 00:00:00' AND '2018-10-10 23:59:59';

I don't net to use the datetime() function. Perhaps they already updated the SQL query on that SQLite version.

When should I use a trailing slash in my URL?

That's not really a question of aesthetics, but indeed a technical difference. The directory thinking of it is totally correct and pretty much explaining everything. Let's work it out:

You are back in the stone age now or only serve static pages

You have a fixed directory structure on your web server and only static files like images, html and so on — no server side scripts or whatsoever.

A browser requests /index.htm, it exists and is delivered to the client. Later you have lots of - let's say - DVD movies reviewed and a html page for each of them in the /dvd/ directory. Now someone requests /dvd/adams_apples.htm and it is delivered because it is there.

At some day, someone just requests /dvd/ - which is a directory and the server is trying to figure out what to deliver. Besides access restrictions and so on there are two possibilities: Show the user the directory content (I bet you already have seen this somewhere) or show a default file (in Apache it is: DirectoryIndex: sets the file that Apache will serve if a directory is requested.)

So far so good, this is the expected case. It already shows the difference in handling, so let's get into it:

At 5:34am you made a mistake uploading your files

(Which is by the way completely understandable.) So, you did something entirely wrong and instead of uploading /dvd/the_big_lebowski.htm you uploaded that file as dvd (with no extension) to /.

Someone bookmarked your /dvd/ directory listing (of course you didn't want to create and always update that nifty index.htm) and is visiting your web-site. Directory content is delivered - all fine.

Someone heard of your list and is typing /dvd. And now it is screwed. Instead of your DVD directory listing the server finds a file with that name and is delivering your Big Lebowski file.

So, you delete that file and tell the guy to reload the page. Your server looks for the /dvd file, but it is gone. Most servers will then notice that there is a directory with that name and tell the client that what it was looking for is indeed somewhere else. The response will most likely be be:

Status Code:301 Moved Permanently with Location: http://[...]/dvd/

So, totally ignoring what you think about directories or files, the server only can handle such stuff and - unless told differently - decides for you about the meaning of "slash or not".

Finally after receiving this response, the client loads /dvd/ and everything is fine.

Is it fine? No.

"Just fine" is not good enough for you

You have some dynamic page where everything is passed to /index.php and gets processed. Everything worked quite good until now, but that entire thing starts to feel slower and you investigate.

Soon, you'll notice that /dvd/list is doing exactly the same: Redirecting to /dvd/list/ which is then internally translated into index.php?controller=dvd&action=list. One additional request - but even worse! customer/login redirects to customer/login/ which in turn redirects to the HTTPS URL of customer/login/. You end up having tons of unnecessary HTTP redirects (= additional requests) that make the user experience slower.

Most likely you have a default directory index here, too: index.php?controller=dvd with no action simply internally loads index.php?controller=dvd&action=list.

Summary:

  • If it ends with / it can never be a file. No server guessing.

  • Slash or no slash are entirely different meanings. There is a technical/resource difference between "slash or no slash", and you should be aware of it and use it accordingly. Just because the server most likely loads /dvd/index.htm - or loads the correct script stuff - when you say /dvd: It does it, but not because you made the right request. Which would have been /dvd/.

  • Omitting the slash even if you indeed mean the slashed version gives you an additional HTTP request penalty. Which is always bad (think of mobile latency) and has more weight than a "pretty URL" - especially since crawlers are not as dumb as SEOs believe or want you to believe ;)

Python URLLib / URLLib2 POST

u = urllib2.urlopen('http://myserver/inout-tracker', data)
h.request('POST', '/inout-tracker/index.php', data, headers)

Using the path /inout-tracker without a trailing / doesn't fetch index.php. Instead the server will issue a 302 redirect to the version with the trailing /.

Doing a 302 will typically cause clients to convert a POST to a GET request.

Pushing from local repository to GitHub hosted remote

This worked for my GIT version 1.8.4:

  1. From the local repository folder, right click and select 'Git Commit Tool'.
  2. There, select the files you want to upload, under 'Unstaged Changes' and click 'Stage Changed' button. (You can initially click on 'Rescan' button to check what files are modified and not uploaded yet.)
  3. Write a Commit Message and click 'Commit' button.
  4. Now right click in the folder again and select 'Git Bash'.
  5. Type: git push origin master and enter your credentials. Done.

Get all rows from SQLite

Using Android's built in method

If you want every column and every row, then just pass in null for the SQLiteDatabase column and selection parameters.

Cursor cursor = db.query(TABLE_NAME, null, null, null, null, null, null, null);

More details

The other answers use rawQuery, but you can use Android's built in SQLiteDatabase. The documentation for query says that you can just pass in null to the selection parameter to get all the rows.

selection Passing null will return all rows for the given table.

And while you can also pass in null for the column parameter to get all of the columns (as in the one-liner above), it is better to only return the columns that you need. The documentation says

columns Passing null will return all columns, which is discouraged to prevent reading data from storage that isn't going to be used.

Example

SQLiteDatabase db = mHelper.getReadableDatabase();
String[] columns = {
        MyDatabaseHelper.COLUMN_1,
        MyDatabaseHelper.COLUMN_2,
        MyDatabaseHelper.COLUMN_3};
String selection = null; // this will select all rows
Cursor cursor = db.query(MyDatabaseHelper.MY_TABLE, columns, selection,
        null, null, null, null, null);

How to join components of a path when you are constructing a URL in Python

How about this: It is Somewhat Efficient & Somewhat Simple. Only need to join '2' parts of url path:

def UrlJoin(a , b):
    a, b = a.strip(), b.strip()
    a = a if a.endswith('/') else a + '/'
    b = b if not b.startswith('/') else b[1:]
    return a + b

OR: More Conventional, but Not as efficient if joining only 2 url parts of a path.

def UrlJoin(*parts):
    return '/'.join([p.strip().strip('/') for p in parts])

Test Cases:

>>> UrlJoin('https://example.com/', '/TestURL_1')
'https://example.com/TestURL_1'

>>> UrlJoin('https://example.com', 'TestURL_2')
'https://example.com/TestURL_2'

Note: I may be splitting hairs here, but it is at least good practice and potentially more readable.

Copy Paste Values only( xlPasteValues )

If you are wanting to just copy the whole column, you can simplify the code a lot by doing something like this:

Sub CopyCol()

    Sheets("Sheet1").Columns(1).Copy

    Sheets("Sheet2").Columns(2).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues

End Sub

Or

Sub CopyCol()

    Sheets("Sheet1").Columns("A").Copy

    Sheets("Sheet2").Columns("B").PasteSpecial xlPasteValues

End Sub

Or if you want to keep the loop

Public Sub CopyrangeA()

    Dim firstrowDB As Long, lastrow As Long
    Dim arr1, arr2, i As Integer

    firstrowDB = 1
    arr1 = Array("BJ", "BK")
    arr2 = Array("A", "B")

    For i = LBound(arr1) To UBound(arr1)

        Sheets("Sheet1").Columns(arr1(i)).Copy

        Sheets("Sheet2").Columns(arr2(i)).PasteSpecial xlPasteValues

    Next
    Application.CutCopyMode = False

End Sub

How to add Button over image using CSS?

You need to give relative or absolute or fixed positioning to your container (#shop) and set its zIndex to say 100.

You also need to give say relative positioning to your elements with the class content and lower zIndex say 97.

Do the above-mentioned with your images too and set their zIndex to 91.

And then position your button higher by setting its position to absolute and zIndex to 95

See the DEMO

PDO error message?

Maybe this post is too old but it may help as a suggestion for someone looking around on this : Instead of using:

 print_r($this->pdo->errorInfo());

Use PHP implode() function:

 echo 'Error occurred:'.implode(":",$this->pdo->errorInfo());

This should print the error code, detailed error information etc. that you would usually get if you were using some SQL User interface.

Hope it helps

nginx: [emerg] "server" directive is not allowed here

Example valid nginx.conf for reverse proxy; In case someone is stuck like me. where 10.x.x.x is the server where you are running the nginx proxy server and to which you are connecting to with the browser, and 10.y.y.y is where your real web server is running

events {
  worker_connections  4096;  ## Default: 1024
}
http {
 server {
   listen 80;
   listen [::]:80;

   server_name 10.x.x.x;
 
   location / {
       proxy_pass http://10.y.y.y:80/;
       proxy_set_header Host $host;
   }
 }
}

Here is the snippet if you want to do SSL pass through. That is if 10.y.y.y is running a HTTPS webserver. Here 10.x.x.x, or where the nignx runs is listening to port 443, and all traffic to 443 is directed to your target web server

events {
  worker_connections  4096;  ## Default: 1024
}

stream {
  server {
    listen     443;
    proxy_pass 10.y.y.y:443;
  }
}

and you can serve it up in docker too

 docker run --name nginx-container --rm --net=host   -v /home/core/nginx/nginx.conf:/etc/nginx/nginx.conf nginx

How can I check if string contains characters & whitespace, not just whitespace?

Instead of checking the entire string to see if there's only whitespace, just check to see if there's at least one character of non whitespace:

if (/\S/.test(myString)) {
    // string is not empty and not just whitespace
}

Rails :include vs. :joins

tl;dr

I contrast them in two ways:

joins - For conditional selection of records.

includes - When using an association on each member of a result set.

Longer version

Joins is meant to filter the result set coming from the database. You use it to do set operations on your table. Think of this as a where clause that performs set theory.

Post.joins(:comments)

is the same as

Post.where('id in (select post_id from comments)')

Except that if there are more than one comment you will get duplicate posts back with the joins. But every post will be a post that has comments. You can correct this with distinct:

Post.joins(:comments).count
=> 10
Post.joins(:comments).distinct.count
=> 2

In contract, the includes method will simply make sure that there are no additional database queries when referencing the relation (so that we don't make n + 1 queries)

Post.includes(:comments).count
=> 4 # includes posts without comments so the count might be higher.

The moral is, use joins when you want to do conditional set operations and use includes when you are going to be using a relation on each member of a collection.

How to sort Counter by value? - python

Use the Counter.most_common() method, it'll sort the items for you:

>>> from collections import Counter
>>> x = Counter({'a':5, 'b':3, 'c':7})
>>> x.most_common()
[('c', 7), ('a', 5), ('b', 3)]

It'll do so in the most efficient manner possible; if you ask for a Top N instead of all values, a heapq is used instead of a straight sort:

>>> x.most_common(1)
[('c', 7)]

Outside of counters, sorting can always be adjusted based on a key function; .sort() and sorted() both take callable that lets you specify a value on which to sort the input sequence; sorted(x, key=x.get, reverse=True) would give you the same sorting as x.most_common(), but only return the keys, for example:

>>> sorted(x, key=x.get, reverse=True)
['c', 'a', 'b']

or you can sort on only the value given (key, value) pairs:

>>> sorted(x.items(), key=lambda pair: pair[1], reverse=True)
[('c', 7), ('a', 5), ('b', 3)]

See the Python sorting howto for more information.

Excel Date to String conversion

Dim cell As range
Dim txt As String
    For Each cell In target
        txt = cell.text
        cell.NumberFormat = "@"
        cell.Value2 = txt
    Next cell

How to store(bitmap image) and retrieve image from sqlite database in android?

If you are working with Android's MediaStore database, here is how to store an image and then display it after it is saved.

on button click write this

 Intent in = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,
                    android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
            in.putExtra("crop", "true");
            in.putExtra("outputX", 100);
            in.putExtra("outputY", 100);
            in.putExtra("scale", true);
            in.putExtra("return-data", true);

            startActivityForResult(in, 1);

then do this in your activity

@Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);

        if (requestCode == 1 && resultCode == RESULT_OK && data != null) {

            Bitmap bmp = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");

            img.setImageBitmap(bmp);
            btnadd.requestFocus();

            ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
            bmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, baos);
            byte[] b = baos.toByteArray();
            String encodedImageString = Base64.encodeToString(b, Base64.DEFAULT);

            byte[] bytarray = Base64.decode(encodedImageString, Base64.DEFAULT);
            Bitmap bmimage = BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(bytarray, 0,
                    bytarray.length);

        }

    }

Simple way to query connected USB devices info in Python?

If you are working on windows, you can use pywin32 (old link: see update below).

I found an example here:

import win32com.client

wmi = win32com.client.GetObject ("winmgmts:")
for usb in wmi.InstancesOf ("Win32_USBHub"):
    print usb.DeviceID

Update Apr 2020:

'pywin32' release versions from 218 and up can be found here at github. Current version 227.

Is there an API to get bank transaction and bank balance?

I use GNU Cash and it uses Open Financial Exchange (ofx) http://www.ofx.net/ to download complete transactions and balances from each account of each bank.

Let me emphasize that again, you get a huge list of transactions with OFX into the GNU Cash. Depending on the account type these transactions can be very detailed description of your transactions (purchases+paycheques), investments, interests, etc.

In my case, even though I have Chase debit card I had to choose Chase Credit to make it work. But Chase wants you to enable this OFX feature by logging into your online banking and enable Quicken/MS Money/etc. somewhere in your profile or preferences. Don't call Chase customer support because they know nothing about it.

This service for OFX and GNU Cash is free. I have heard that they charge $10 a month for other platforms.

OFX can download transactions from 348 banks so far. http://www.ofxhome.com/index.php/home/directory

Actualy, OFX also supports making bill payments, stop a check, intrabank and interbank transfers etc. It is quite extensive. See it here: http://ofx.net/AboutOFX/ServicesSupported.aspx

Setting Authorization Header of HttpClient

I was setting the bearer token

httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", token);

It was working in one endpoint, but not another. The issue was that I had lower case b on "bearer". After change now it works for both api's I'm hitting. Such an easy thing to miss if you aren't even considering it as one of the haystacks to look in for the needle.

Make sure to have "Bearer" - with capital.

Merging multiple PDFs using iTextSharp in c#.net

        PdfDocument pdfDocumentOut = new PdfDocument(pdfWriter);

        PdfReader pdfReader0 = new PdfReader(lststrInputFiles[0]);
        PdfDocument pdfDocument0 = new PdfDocument(pdfReader0);
        int iFirstPdfPageCount0 = pdfDocument0.GetNumberOfPages();
        pdfDocument0.CopyPagesTo(1, iFirstPdfPageCount0, pdfDocumentOut);
        iPageCount = pdfDocumentOut.GetNumberOfPages();

        for (int ii = 1; ii < lststrInputFiles.Count; ii++)
        {
            PdfReader pdfReader1 = new PdfReader(lststrInputFiles[ii]);
            PdfDocument pdfDocument1 = new PdfDocument(pdfReader1);
            int iFirstPdfPageCount1 = pdfDocument1.GetNumberOfPages();

Java - No enclosing instance of type Foo is accessible

Well... so many good answers but i wanna to add more on it. A brief look on Inner class in Java- Java allows us to define a class within another class and Being able to nest classes in this way has certain advantages:

  1. It can hide(It increases encapsulation) the class from other classes - especially relevant if the class is only being used by the class it is contained within. In this case there is no need for the outside world to know about it.

  2. It can make code more maintainable as the classes are logically grouped together around where they are needed.

  3. The inner class has access to the instance variables and methods of its containing class.

We have mainly three types of Inner Classes

  1. Local inner
  2. Static Inner Class
  3. Anonymous Inner Class

Some of the important points to be remember

  • We need class object to access the Local Inner Class in which it exist.
  • Static Inner Class get directly accessed same as like any other static method of the same class in which it is exists.
  • Anonymous Inner Class are not visible to out side world as well as to the other methods or classes of the same class(in which it is exist) and it is used on the point where it is declared.

Let`s try to see the above concepts practically_

public class MyInnerClass {

public static void main(String args[]) throws InterruptedException {
    // direct access to inner class method
    new MyInnerClass.StaticInnerClass().staticInnerClassMethod();

    // static inner class reference object
    StaticInnerClass staticInnerclass = new StaticInnerClass();
    staticInnerclass.staticInnerClassMethod();

    // access local inner class
    LocalInnerClass localInnerClass = new MyInnerClass().new LocalInnerClass();
    localInnerClass.localInnerClassMethod();

    /*
     * Pay attention to the opening curly braces and the fact that there's a
     * semicolon at the very end, once the anonymous class is created:
     */
    /*
     AnonymousClass anonymousClass = new AnonymousClass() {
         // your code goes here...

     };*/
 }

// static inner class
static class StaticInnerClass {
    public void staticInnerClassMethod() {
        System.out.println("Hay... from Static Inner class!");
    }
}

// local inner class
class LocalInnerClass {
    public void localInnerClassMethod() {
        System.out.println("Hay... from local Inner class!");
    }
 }

}

How to check a string for a special character?

Everyone else's method doesn't account for whitespaces. Obviously nobody really considers a whitespace a special character.

Use this method to detect special characters not including whitespaces:

import re

def detect_special_characer(pass_string): 
  regex= re.compile('[@_!#$%^&*()<>?/\|}{~:]') 
  if(regex.search(pass_string) == None): 
    res = False
  else: 
    res = True
  return(res)

syntax error: unexpected token <

When posting via ajax, it's always a good idea to first submit normally to ensure the file that's called is always returning valid data (json) and no errors with html tags or other

<form action="path/to/file.php" id="ajaxformx">

By adding x to id value, jquery will not process it.

Once you are sure everything is fine then remove the x from id="ajaxform" and the empty the action attribute value

This is how I sorted the same error for myself just a few minutes ago :)

how do I get the bullet points of a <ul> to center with the text?

You can do that with list-style-position: inside; on the ul element :

ul {
    list-style-position: inside;
}

RSA encryption and decryption in Python

In order to make it work you need to convert key from str to tuple before decryption(ast.literal_eval function). Here is fixed code:

import Crypto
from Crypto.PublicKey import RSA
from Crypto import Random
import ast

random_generator = Random.new().read
key = RSA.generate(1024, random_generator) #generate pub and priv key

publickey = key.publickey() # pub key export for exchange

encrypted = publickey.encrypt('encrypt this message', 32)
#message to encrypt is in the above line 'encrypt this message'

print 'encrypted message:', encrypted #ciphertext
f = open ('encryption.txt', 'w')
f.write(str(encrypted)) #write ciphertext to file
f.close()

#decrypted code below

f = open('encryption.txt', 'r')
message = f.read()


decrypted = key.decrypt(ast.literal_eval(str(encrypted)))

print 'decrypted', decrypted

f = open ('encryption.txt', 'w')
f.write(str(message))
f.write(str(decrypted))
f.close()

Adding a column to a dataframe in R

That is a pretty standard use case for apply():

R> vec <- 1:10
R> DF <- data.frame(start=c(1,3,5,7), end=c(2,6,7,9))
R> DF$newcol <- apply(DF,1,function(row) mean(vec[ row[1] : row[2] ] ))
R> DF
  start end newcol
1     1   2    1.5
2     3   6    4.5
3     5   7    6.0
4     7   9    8.0

You can also use plyr if you prefer but here is no real need to go beyond functions from base R.

how to import csv data into django models

You can use the django-csv-importer package. http://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-csv-importer/0.1.1

It works like a django model

MyCsvModel(CsvModel):
    field1 = IntegerField()
    field2 = CharField()
    etc

    class Meta:
        delimiter = ";"
        dbModel = Product

And you just have to: CsvModel.import_from_file("my file")

That will automatically create your products.

How to get Django and ReactJS to work together?

I feel your pain as I, too, am starting out to get Django and React.js working together. Did a couple of Django projects, and I think, React.js is a great match for Django. However, it can be intimidating to get started. We are standing on the shoulders of giants here ;)

Here's how I think, it all works together (big picture, please someone correct me if I'm wrong).

  • Django and its database (I prefer Postgres) on one side (backend)
  • Django Rest-framework providing the interface to the outside world (i.e. Mobile Apps and React and such)
  • Reactjs, Nodejs, Webpack, Redux (or maybe MobX?) on the other side (frontend)

Communication between Django and 'the frontend' is done via the Rest framework. Make sure you get your authorization and permissions for the Rest framework in place.

I found a good boiler template for exactly this scenario and it works out of the box. Just follow the readme https://github.com/scottwoodall/django-react-template and once you are done, you have a pretty nice Django Reactjs project running. By no means this is meant for production, but rather as a way for you to dig in and see how things are connected and working!

One tiny change I'd like to suggest is this: Follow the setup instructions BUT before you get to the 2nd step to setup the backend (Django here https://github.com/scottwoodall/django-react-template/blob/master/backend/README.md), change the requirements file for the setup.

You'll find the file in your project at /backend/requirements/common.pip Replace its content with this

appdirs==1.4.0
Django==1.10.5
django-autofixture==0.12.0
django-extensions==1.6.1
django-filter==1.0.1
djangorestframework==3.5.3
psycopg2==2.6.1

this gets you the latest stable version for Django and its Rest framework.

I hope that helps.

ReferenceError: $ is not defined

i was facing the same problem in the wp-admin section of the site. I enqueued the underscore script cdn and it fixed the problem.

function kk_admin_scripts() {
    wp_enqueue_script('underscore', '//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/lodash.js/0.10.0/lodash.min.js' );
}
add_action( 'admin_enqueue_scripts', 'kk_admin_scripts' );

How to trigger event when a variable's value is changed?

Seems to me like you want to create a property.

public int MyProperty
{
    get { return _myProperty; }
    set
    {
        _myProperty = value;
        if (_myProperty == 1)
        {
            // DO SOMETHING HERE
        }
    }
}

private int _myProperty;

This allows you to run some code any time the property value changes. You could raise an event here, if you wanted.

How to have a drop down <select> field in a rails form?

Please have a look here

Either you can use rails tag Or use plain HTML tags

Rails tag

<%= select("Contact", "email_provider", Contact::PROVIDERS, {:include_blank => true}) %>

*above line of code would become HTML code(HTML Tag), find it below *

HTML tag

<select name="Contact[email_provider]">
  <option></option>
  <option>yahoo</option>
  <option>gmail</option>
  <option>msn</option>
</select>

Media Queries: How to target desktop, tablet, and mobile?

It's not a matter of pixels count, it's a matter of actual size (in mm or inches) of characters on the screen, which depends on pixels density. Hence "min-width:" and "max-width:" are useless. A full explanation of this issue is here: what exactly is device pixel ratio?

"@media" queries take into account the pixels count and the device pixel ratio, resulting in a "virtual resolution" which is what you have to actually take into account while designing your page: if your font is 10px fixed-width and the "virtual horizontal resolution" is 300 px, 30 characters will be needed to fill a line.

Crontab Day of the Week syntax

0 and 7 both stand for Sunday, you can use the one you want, so writing 0-6 or 1-7 has the same result.

Also, as suggested by @Henrik, it is possible to replace numbers by shortened name of days, such as MON, THU, etc:

0 - Sun      Sunday
1 - Mon      Monday
2 - Tue      Tuesday
3 - Wed      Wednesday
4 - Thu      Thursday
5 - Fri      Friday
6 - Sat      Saturday
7 - Sun      Sunday

Graphically:

 +---------- minute (0 - 59)
 ¦ +-------- hour (0 - 23)
 ¦ ¦ +------ day of month (1 - 31)
 ¦ ¦ ¦ +---- month (1 - 12)
 ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ +-- day of week (0 - 6 => Sunday - Saturday, or
 ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦                1 - 7 => Monday - Sunday)
 ? ? ? ? ?
 * * * * * command to be executed

Finally, if you want to specify day by day, you can separate days with commas, for example SUN,MON,THU will exectute the command only on sundays, mondays on thursdays.

You can read further details in Wikipedia's article about Cron.

Disable submit button when form invalid with AngularJS

Selected response is correct, but someone like me, may have issues with async validation with sending request to the server-side - button will be not disabled during given request processing, so button will blink, which looks pretty strange for the users.

To void this, you just need to handle $pending state of the form:

<form name="myForm">
  <input name="myText" type="text" ng-model="mytext" required />
  <button ng-disabled="myForm.$invalid || myForm.$pending">Save</button>
</form>

Meaning of end='' in the statement print("\t",end='')?

The default value of end is \n meaning that after the print statement it will print a new line. So simply stated end is what you want to be printed after the print statement has been executed

Eg: - print ("hello",end=" +") will print hello +

Issue pushing new code in Github

I had a similar problem... I resolved it like this (i'm not an git expert so i don't know if it is a right solution, but it worked for me):

git pull origin master --allow-unrelated-histories
git merge origin origin/master
git rm README.md
git commit -m 'removed readme.md'
git push origin master

VBA Macro to compare all cells of two Excel files

A very simple check you can do with Cell formulas:

Sheet 1 (new - old)

=(if(AND(Ref_New<>"";Ref_Old="");Ref_New;"")

Sheet 2 (old - new)

=(if(AND(Ref_Old<>"";Ref_New="");Ref_Old;"")

This formulas should work for an ENGLISH Excel. For other languages they need to be translated. (For German i can assist)

You need to open all three Excel Documents, then copy the first formula into A1 of your sheet 1 and the second into A1 of sheet 2. Now click in A1 of the first cell and mark "Ref_New", now you can select your reference, go to the new file and click in the A1, go back to sheet1 and do the same for "Ref_Old" with the old file. Replace also the other "Ref_New".

Doe the same for Sheet two.

Now copy the formaula form A1 over the complete range where zour data is in the old and the new file.

But two cases are not covered here:

  1. In the compared cell of New and Old is the same data (Resulting Cell will be empty)
  2. In the compared cell of New and Old is diffe data (Resulting Cell will be empty)

To cover this two cases also, you should create your own function, means learn VBA. A very useful Excel page is cpearson.com

OpenCV with Network Cameras

I just do it like this:

CvCapture *capture = cvCreateFileCapture("rtsp://camera-address");

Also make sure this dll is available at runtime else cvCreateFileCapture will return NULL

opencv_ffmpeg200d.dll

The camera needs to allow unauthenticated access too, usually set via its web interface. MJPEG format worked via rtsp but MPEG4 didn't.

How to convert UTF8 string to byte array?

I was using Joni's solution and it worked fine, but this one is much shorter.

This was inspired by the atobUTF16() function of Solution #3 of Mozilla's Base64 Unicode discussion

function convertStringToUTF8ByteArray(str) {
    let binaryArray = new Uint8Array(str.length)
    Array.prototype.forEach.call(binaryArray, function (el, idx, arr) { arr[idx] = str.charCodeAt(idx) })
    return binaryArray
}

html - table row like a link

If you have to use a table, you can put a link into each table cell:

<table>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td><a href="person1.html">John Smith</a></td>
      <td><a href="person1.html">123 Fake St</a></td>
      <td><a href="person1.html">90210</a></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td><a href="person2.html">Peter Nguyen</a></td>
      <td><a href="person2.html">456 Elm Ave</a></td>
      <td><a href="person2.html">90210</a></td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

And make the links fill up the entire cells:

table tbody tr td a {
  display: block;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
}

If you are able to use <div>s instead of a table, your HTML can be a lot simpler, and you won't get "gaps" in the links, between the table cells:

<div class="myTable">
  <a href="person1.html">
    <span>John Smith</span>
    <span>123 Fake St</span>
    <span>90210</span>
  </a>
  <a href="person2.html">
    <span>Peter Nguyen</span>
    <span>456 Elm Ave</span>
    <span>90210</span>
  </a>
</div>

Here is the CSS that goes with the <div> method:

.myTable {
  display: table;
}
.myTable a {
  display: table-row;
}
.myTable a span {
  display: table-cell;
  padding: 2px; /* this line not really needed */
}

PHP errors NOT being displayed in the browser [Ubuntu 10.10]

If you have Local Values overriding master values, you won't change its values in php.ini take a look for those variables in a .htaccess or in the virtual-host config file.

...

        php_admin_value display_errors On
        php_admin_value error_reporting E_ALL
</VirtualHost>

If you edit vhost, restart apache,

$ sudo service apache2 restart

.htaccess edits don't need apache to restart

How do you use https / SSL on localhost?

If you have IIS Express (with Visual Studio):

To enable the SSL within IIS Express, you have to just set “SSL Enabled = true” in the project properties window.

See the steps and pictures at this code project.

IIS Express will generate a certificate for you (you'll be prompted for it, etc.). Note that depending on configuration the site may still automatically start with the URL rather than the SSL URL. You can see the SSL URL - note the port number and replace it in your browser address bar, you should be able to get in and test.

From there you can right click on your project, click property pages, then start options and assign the start URL - put the new https with the new port (usually 44301 - notice the similarity to port 443) and your project will start correctly from then on.

PowerShell: Create Local User Account

As of PowerShell 5.1 there cmdlet New-LocalUser which could create local user account.

Example of usage:

Create a user account

New-LocalUser -Name "User02" -Description "Description of this account." -NoPassword

or Create a user account that has a password

$Password = Read-Host -AsSecureString
New-LocalUser "User03" -Password $Password -FullName "Third User" -Description "Description of this account."

or Create a user account that is connected to a Microsoft account

New-LocalUser -Name "MicrosoftAccount\usr [email protected]" -Description "Description of this account." 

"Undefined reference to" template class constructor

This link explains where you're going wrong:

[35.12] Why can't I separate the definition of my templates class from its declaration and put it inside a .cpp file?

Place the definition of your constructors, destructors methods and whatnot in your header file, and that will correct the problem.

This offers another solution:

How can I avoid linker errors with my template functions?

However this requires you to anticipate how your template will be used and, as a general solution, is counter-intuitive. It does solve the corner case though where you develop a template to be used by some internal mechanism, and you want to police the manner in which it is used.

What is the difference between Sprint and Iteration in Scrum and length of each Sprint?

According to my experience

  1. Sprint is a kind of Iteration and one can have many Iterations within a single Sprint (e.g. one shall startover or iterate a task if it's failed and still having extra estimated time) or across many Sprints (such as performing ongoing tasks).
  2. Normally, the duration for a Sprint can be one or two weeks, It depends on the time required and the priority of tasks (which could be defined by Product Owner or Scrum Master or the team) from the Product Backlog.

step2: In d drive abc folder in all Sql files in queries executed in sql server.

step3: Give your ip, user id and password.

curl -GET and -X GET

By default you use curl without explicitly saying which request method to use. If you just pass in a HTTP URL like curl http://example.com it will use GET. If you use -d or -F curl will use POST, -I will cause a HEAD and -T will make it a PUT.

If for whatever reason you're not happy with these default choices that curl does for you, you can override those request methods by specifying -X [WHATEVER]. This way you can for example send a DELETE by doing curl -X DELETE [URL].

It is thus pointless to do curl -X GET [URL] as GET would be used anyway. In the same vein it is pointless to do curl -X POST -d data [URL]... But you can make a fun and somewhat rare request that sends a request-body in a GET request with something like curl -X GET -d data [URL].

Digging deeper

curl -GET (using a single dash) is just wrong for this purpose. That's the equivalent of specifying the -G, -E and -T options and that will do something completely different.

There's also a curl option called --get to not confuse matters with either. It is the long form of -G, which is used to convert data specified with -d into a GET request instead of a POST.

(I subsequently used my own answer here to populate the curl FAQ to cover this.)

Warnings

Modern versions of curl will inform users about this unnecessary and potentially harmful use of -X when verbose mode is enabled (-v) - to make users aware. Further explained and motivated in this blog post.

-G converts a POST + body to a GET + query

You can ask curl to convert a set of -d options and instead of sending them in the request body with POST, put them at the end of the URL's query string and issue a GET, with the use of `-G. Like this:

curl -d name=daniel -d grumpy=yes -G https://example.com/

Calculate the number of business days between two dates?

Here is the function which we can use to calculate business days between two date. I'm not using holiday list as it can vary accross country/region.

If we want to use it anyway we can take third argument as list of holiday and before incrementing count we should check that list does not contains d

public static int GetBussinessDaysBetweenTwoDates(DateTime StartDate,   DateTime EndDate)
    {
        if (StartDate > EndDate)
            return -1;

        int bd = 0;

        for (DateTime d = StartDate; d < EndDate; d = d.AddDays(1))
        {
            if (d.DayOfWeek != DayOfWeek.Saturday && d.DayOfWeek != DayOfWeek.Sunday)
                bd++;
        }

        return bd;
    }

Find a value in an array of objects in Javascript

New answer

I added the prop as a parameter, to make it more general and reusable

/**
 * Represents a search trough an array.
 * @function search
 * @param {Array} array - The array you wanna search trough
 * @param {string} key - The key to search for
 * @param {string} [prop] - The property name to find it in
 */

function search(array, key, prop){
    // Optional, but fallback to key['name'] if not selected
    prop = (typeof prop === 'undefined') ? 'name' : prop;    

    for (var i=0; i < array.length; i++) {
        if (array[i][prop] === key) {
            return array[i];
        }
    }
}

Usage:

var array = [
    { 
        name:'string 1', 
        value:'this', 
        other: 'that' 
    },
    { 
        name:'string 2', 
        value:'this', 
        other: 'that' 
    }
];

search(array, 'string 1');
// or for other cases where the prop isn't 'name'
// ex: prop name id
search(array, 'string 1', 'id');

Mocha test:

var assert = require('chai').assert;

describe('Search', function() {
    var testArray = [
        { 
            name: 'string 1', 
            value: 'this', 
            other: 'that' 
        },
        { 
            name: 'string 2', 
            value: 'new', 
            other: 'that' 
        }
    ];

    it('should return the object that match the search', function () {
        var name1 = search(testArray, 'string 1');
        var name2 = search(testArray, 'string 2');

        assert.equal(name1, testArray[0]);
        assert.equal(name2, testArray[1]);

        var value1 = search(testArray, 'this', 'value');
        var value2 = search(testArray, 'new', 'value');

        assert.equal(value1, testArray[0]);
        assert.equal(value2, testArray[1]);
    });

    it('should return undefined becuase non of the objects in the array have that value', function () {
        var findNonExistingObj = search(testArray, 'string 3');

        assert.equal(findNonExistingObj, undefined);
    });

    it('should return undefined becuase our array of objects dont have ids', function () {
        var findById = search(testArray, 'string 1', 'id');

        assert.equal(findById, undefined);
    });
});

test results:

Search
    ? should return the object that match the search
    ? should return undefined becuase non of the objects in the array have that value
    ? should return undefined becuase our array of objects dont have ids

Old answer - removed due to bad practices

if you wanna know more why it's bad practice then see this article:

Why is extending native objects a bad practice?

Prototype version of doing an array search:

Array.prototype.search = function(key, prop){
    for (var i=0; i < this.length; i++) {
        if (this[i][prop] === key) {
            return this[i];
        }
    }
}

Usage:

var array = [
    { name:'string 1', value:'this', other: 'that' },
    { name:'string 2', value:'this', other: 'that' }
];

array.search('string 1', 'name');
