Mocking a function to raise an Exception to test an except block

Your mock is raising the exception just fine, but the error.resp.status value is missing. Rather than use return_value, just tell Mock that status is an attribute:

barMock.side_effect = HttpError(mock.Mock(status=404), 'not found')

Additional keyword arguments to Mock() are set as attributes on the resulting object.

I put your foo and bar definitions in a my_tests module, added in the HttpError class so I could use it too, and your test then can be ran to success:

>>> from my_tests import foo, HttpError
>>> import mock
>>> with mock.patch('my_tests.bar') as barMock:
...     barMock.side_effect = HttpError(mock.Mock(status=404), 'not found')
...     result = my_test.foo()
... 
404 - 
>>> result is None
True

You can even see the print '404 - %s' % error.message line run, but I think you wanted to use error.content there instead; that's the attribute HttpError() sets from the second argument, at any rate.

Mocking python function based on input arguments

As indicated at Python Mock object with method called multiple times

A solution is to write my own side_effect

def my_side_effect(*args, **kwargs):
    if args[0] == 42:
        return "Called with 42"
    elif args[0] == 43:
        return "Called with 43"
    elif kwargs['foo'] == 7:
        return "Foo is seven"

mockobj.mockmethod.side_effect = my_side_effect

That does the trick

How can I mock requests and the response?

Just a helpful hint to those that are still struggling, converting from urllib or urllib2/urllib3 to requests AND trying to mock a response- I was getting a slightly confusing error when implementing my mock:

with requests.get(path, auth=HTTPBasicAuth('user', 'pass'), verify=False) as url:

AttributeError: __enter__

Well, of course, if I knew anything about how with works (I didn't), I'd know it was a vestigial, unnecessary context (from PEP 343). Unnecessary when using the requests library because it does basically the same thing for you under the hood. Just remove the with and use bare requests.get(...) and Bob's your uncle.

Mocking a class: Mock() or patch()?

Key points which explain difference and provide guidance upon working with unittest.mock

  1. Use Mock if you want to replace some interface elements(passing args) of the object under test
  2. Use patch if you want to replace internal call to some objects and imported modules of the object under test
  3. Always provide spec from the object you are mocking
    • With patch you can always provide autospec
    • With Mock you can provide spec
    • Instead of Mock, you can use create_autospec, which intended to create Mock objects with specification.

In the question above the right answer would be to use Mock, or to be more precise create_autospec (because it will add spec to the mock methods of the class you are mocking), the defined spec on the mock will be helpful in case of an attempt to call method of the class which doesn't exists ( regardless signature), please see some

from unittest import TestCase
from unittest.mock import Mock, create_autospec, patch


class MyClass:
    
    @staticmethod
    def method(foo, bar):
        print(foo)


def something(some_class: MyClass):
    arg = 1
    # Would fail becuase of wrong parameters passed to methd.
    return some_class.method(arg)


def second(some_class: MyClass):
    arg = 1
    return some_class.unexisted_method(arg)


class TestSomethingTestCase(TestCase):
    def test_something_with_autospec(self):
        mock = create_autospec(MyClass)
        mock.method.return_value = True
        # Fails because of signature misuse.
        result = something(mock)
        self.assertTrue(result)
        self.assertTrue(mock.method.called)
    
    def test_something(self):
        mock = Mock()  # Note that Mock(spec=MyClass) will also pass, because signatures of mock don't have spec.
        mock.method.return_value = True
        
        result = something(mock)
        
        self.assertTrue(result)
        self.assertTrue(mock.method.called)
        
    def test_second_with_patch_autospec(self):
        with patch(f'{__name__}.MyClass', autospec=True) as mock:
            # Fails because of signature misuse.
            result = second(mock)
        self.assertTrue(result)
        self.assertTrue(mock.unexisted_method.called)


class TestSecondTestCase(TestCase):
    def test_second_with_autospec(self):
        mock = Mock(spec=MyClass)
        # Fails because of signature misuse.
        result = second(mock)
        self.assertTrue(result)
        self.assertTrue(mock.unexisted_method.called)
    
    def test_second_with_patch_autospec(self):
        with patch(f'{__name__}.MyClass', autospec=True) as mock:
            # Fails because of signature misuse.
            result = second(mock)
        self.assertTrue(result)
        self.assertTrue(mock.unexisted_method.called)
    
    def test_second(self):
        mock = Mock()
        mock.unexisted_method.return_value = True
        
        result = second(mock)
        
        self.assertTrue(result)
        self.assertTrue(mock.unexisted_method.called)

The test cases with defined spec used fail because methods called from something and second functions aren't complaint with MyClass, which means - they catch bugs, whereas default Mock will display.

As a side note there is one more option: use patch.object to mock just the class method which is called with.

The good use cases for patch would be the case when the class is used as inner part of function:

def something():
    arg = 1
    return MyClass.method(arg)

Then you will want to use patch as a decorator to mock the MyClass.

Python urllib2 Basic Auth Problem

The second parameter must be a URI, not a domain name. i.e.

passman = urllib2.HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm()
passman.add_password(None, "http://api.foursquare.com/", username, password)

Parsing XML in Python using ElementTree example

If I understand your question correctly:

for elem in doc.findall('timeSeries/values/value'):
    print elem.get('dateTime'), elem.text

or if you prefer (and if there is only one occurrence of timeSeries/values:

values = doc.find('timeSeries/values')
for value in values:
    print value.get('dateTime'), elem.text

The findall() method returns a list of all matching elements, whereas find() returns only the first matching element. The first example loops over all the found elements, the second loops over the child elements of the values element, in this case leading to the same result.

I don't see where the problem with not finding timeSeries comes from however. Maybe you just forgot the getroot() call? (note that you don't really need it because you can work from the elementtree itself too, if you change the path expression to for example /timeSeriesResponse/timeSeries/values or //timeSeries/values)

Python urllib2, basic HTTP authentication, and tr.im

This seems to work really well (taken from another thread)

import urllib2, base64

request = urllib2.Request("http://api.foursquare.com/v1/user")
base64string = base64.encodestring('%s:%s' % (username, password)).replace('\n', '')
request.add_header("Authorization", "Basic %s" % base64string)   
result = urllib2.urlopen(request)

How do you use script variables in psql?

I've found this question and the answers extremely useful, but also confusing. I had lots of trouble getting quoted variables to work, so here is the way I got it working:

\set deployment_user username    -- username
\set deployment_pass '\'string_password\''
ALTER USER :deployment_user WITH PASSWORD :deployment_pass;

This way you can define the variable in one statement. When you use it, single quotes will be embedded into the variable.

NOTE! When I put a comment after the quoted variable it got sucked in as part of the variable when I tried some of the methods in other answers. That was really screwing me up for a while. With this method comments appear to be treated as you'd expect.

How to find all tables that have foreign keys that reference particular table.column and have values for those foreign keys?

Here you go:

USE information_schema;
SELECT *
FROM
  KEY_COLUMN_USAGE
WHERE
  REFERENCED_TABLE_NAME = 'X'
  AND REFERENCED_COLUMN_NAME = 'X_id';

If you have multiple databases with similar tables/column names you may also wish to limit your query to a particular database:

SELECT *
FROM
  KEY_COLUMN_USAGE
WHERE
  REFERENCED_TABLE_NAME = 'X'
  AND REFERENCED_COLUMN_NAME = 'X_id'
  AND TABLE_SCHEMA = 'your_database_name';

Read a file line by line assigning the value to a variable

Many people have posted a solution that's over-optimized. I don't think it is incorrect, but I humbly think that a less optimized solution will be desirable to permit everyone to easily understand how is this working. Here is my proposal:

#!/bin/bash
#
# This program reads lines from a file.
#

end_of_file=0
while [[ $end_of_file == 0 ]]; do
  read -r line
  # the last exit status is the 
  # flag of the end of file
  end_of_file=$?
  echo $line
done < "$1"

CSS Inset Borders

You can do this:

.thing {
  border: 2px solid transparent;
}
.thing:hover {
  border: 2px solid green;
}

Circular gradient in android

I always find images helpful when learning a new concept, so this is a supplemental answer.

enter image description here

The %p means a percentage of the parent, that is, a percentage of the narrowest dimension of whatever view we set our drawable on. The images above were generated by changing the gradientRadius in this code

my_gradient_drawable

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <gradient
        android:type="radial"
        android:gradientRadius="10%p"
        android:startColor="#f6ee19"
        android:endColor="#115ede" />
</shape>

Which can be set on a view's background attribute like this

<View
    android:layout_width="200dp"
    android:layout_height="100dp"
    android:background="@drawable/my_gradient_drawable"/>

Center

You can change the center of the radius with

android:centerX="0.2"
android:centerY="0.7"

where the decimals are fractions of the width and height for x and y respectively.

enter image description here

Documentation

Here are some notes from the documentation explaining things a little more.

android:gradientRadius

Radius of the gradient, used only with radial gradient. May be an explicit dimension or a fractional value relative to the shape's minimum dimension.

May be a floating point value, such as "1.2".

May be a dimension value, which is a floating point number appended with a unit such as "14.5sp". Available units are: px (pixels), dp (density-independent pixels), sp (scaled pixels based on preferred font size), in (inches), and mm (millimeters).

May be a fractional value, which is a floating point number appended with either % or %p, such as "14.5%". The % suffix always means a percentage of the base size; the optional %p suffix provides a size relative to some parent container.

Convert Unix timestamp into human readable date using MySQL

Since I found this question not being aware, that mysql always stores time in timestamp fields in UTC but will display (e.g. phpmyadmin) in local time zone I would like to add my findings.

I have an automatically updated last_modified field, defined as:

`last_modified` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP

Looking at it with phpmyadmin, it looks like it is in local time, internally it is UTC

SET time_zone = '+04:00'; // or '+00:00' to display dates in UTC or 'UTC' if time zones are installed.
SELECT last_modified, UNIX_TIMESTAMP(last_modified), from_unixtime(UNIX_TIMESTAMP(last_modified), '%Y-%c-%d %H:%i:%s'), CONVERT_TZ(last_modified,@@session.time_zone,'+00:00') as UTC FROM `table_name`

In any constellation, UNIX_TIMESTAMP and 'as UTC' are always displayed in UTC time.

Run this twice, first without setting the time_zone.

SQL GROUP BY CASE statement with aggregate function

If you are grouping by some other value, then instead of what you have,

write it as

Sum(CASE WHEN col1 > col2 THEN SUM(col3*col4) ELSE 0 END) as SumSomeProduct

If, otoh, you want to group By the internal expression, (col3*col4) then

write the group By to match the expression w/o the SUM...

Select Sum(Case When col1 > col2 Then col3*col4 Else 0 End) as SumSomeProduct
From ...

Group By Case When col1 > col2 Then col3*col4 Else 0 End 

Finally, if you want to group By the actual aggregate

Select SumSomeProduct, Count(*), <other aggregate functions>
From (Select <other columns you are grouping By>, 
      Sum(Case When col1 > col2 
          Then col3*col4 Else 0 End) as SumSomeProduct
      From Table
      Group By <Other Columns> ) As Z
Group by SumSomeProduct

ComboBox SelectedItem vs SelectedValue

The ComboBox control inherits from the ListControl control.

The SelectedItem property is a proper member of the ComboBox control. The event that is fired on change is ComboBox.SelectionChangeCommitted

ComboBox.SelectionChangeCommitted

Occurs when the selected item has changed and that change is displayed in the ComboBox.

The SelectedValue property is inherited from the ListControl control. As such, this property will fire the ListControl.SelectedValueChanged event.

ListControl.SelectedValueChanged

Occurs when the SelectedValue property changes.

That said, they won't fire the INotifyPropertyChanged.PropertyChanged event the same, but they will anyway. The only difference is in the firing event. SelectedValueChanged is fired as soon as a new selection is made from the list part of the ComboBox, and SelectedItemChanged is fired when the item is displayed in the TextBox portion of the ComboBox.

In short, they both represent something in the list part of the ComboBox. So, when binding either property, the result is the same, since the PropertyChanged event is fired in either case. And since they both represent an element from the list, the they are probably treated the same.

Does this help?

EDIT #1

Assuming that the list part of the ComboBox represents a property (as I can't confirm since I didn't write the control), binding either of SelectedItem or SelectedValue affects the same collection inside the control. Then, when this property is changed, the same occurs in the end. The INotifyPropertryPropertyChanged.PropertyChanged event is fired on the same property.

Shell command to tar directory excluding certain files/folders

I had no luck getting tar to exclude a 5 Gigabyte subdirectory a few levels deep. In the end, I just used the unix Zip command. It worked a lot easier for me.

So for this particular example from the original post
(tar --exclude='./folder' --exclude='./upload/folder2' -zcvf /backup/filename.tgz . )

The equivalent would be:

zip -r /backup/filename.zip . -x upload/folder/**\* upload/folder2/**\*

(NOTE: Here is the post I originally used that helped me https://superuser.com/questions/312301/unix-zip-directory-but-excluded-specific-subdirectories-and-everything-within-t)

How do I convert datetime.timedelta to minutes, hours in Python?

I don't think it's a good idea to caculate yourself.

If you just want a pretty output, just covert it into str with str() function or directly print() it.

And if there's further usage of the hours and minutes, you can parse it to datetime object use datetime.strptime()(and extract the time part with datetime.time() mehtod), for example:

import datetime

delta = datetime.timedelta(seconds=10000)
time_obj = datetime.datetime.strptime(str(delta),'%H:%M:%S').time()

Python: SyntaxError: keyword can't be an expression

Using the Elastic search DSL API, you may hit the same error with

You can solve it by doing:

s = Search(using=client, index="my-index") \
    .query({"match": {"category.keyword":"Musician/Band"}})

What does PermGen actually stand for?

Not really related match to the original question, but may be someone will find it useful. PermGen is indeed an area in memory where Java used to keep its classes. So, many of us have came across OOM in PermGen, if there were, for example a lot of classes.

Since Java 8, PermGen area has been replaced by MetaSpace area, which is more efficient and is unlimited by default (or more precisely - limited by amount of native memory, depending on 32 or 64 bit jvm and OS virtual memory availability) . However it is possible to tune it in some ways, by for example specifying a max limit for the area. You can find more useful information in this blog post.

How to use a variable of one method in another method?

You can't. Variables defined inside a method are local to that method.

If you want to share variables between methods, then you'll need to specify them as member variables of the class. Alternatively, you can pass them from one method to another as arguments (this isn't always applicable).


Looks like you're using instance methods instead of static ones.

If you don't want to create an object, you should declare all your methods static, so something like

private static void methodName(Argument args...)

If you want a variable to be accessible by all these methods, you should initialise it outside the methods and to limit its scope, declare it private.

private static int[][] array = new int[3][5];

Global variables are usually looked down upon (especially for situations like your one) because in a large-scale program they can wreak havoc, so making it private will prevent some problems at the least.

Also, I'll say the usual: You should try to keep your code a bit tidy. Use descriptive class, method and variable names and keep your code neat (with proper indentation, linebreaks etc.) and consistent.

Here's a final (shortened) example of what your code should be like:

public class Test3 {
    //Use this array in your methods
    private static int[][] scores = new int[3][5];

    /* Rather than just "Scores" name it so people know what
     * to expect
     */
    private static void createScores() {
        //Code...
    }
    //Other methods...

    /* Since you're now using static methods, you don't 
     * have to initialise an object and call its methods.
     */
    public static void main(String[] args){
        createScores();
        MD();   //Don't know what these do
        sumD(); //so I'll leave them.
    }
}

Ideally, since you're using an array, you would create the array in the main method and pass it as an argument across each method, but explaining how that works is probably a whole new question on its own so I'll leave it at that.

toBe(true) vs toBeTruthy() vs toBeTrue()

There are a lot many good answers out there, i just wanted to add a scenario where the usage of these expectations might be helpful. Using element.all(xxx), if i need to check if all elements are displayed at a single run, i can perform -

expect(element.all(xxx).isDisplayed()).toBeTruthy(); //Expectation passes
expect(element.all(xxx).isDisplayed()).toBe(true); //Expectation fails
expect(element.all(xxx).isDisplayed()).toBeTrue(); //Expectation fails

Reason being .all() returns an array of values and so all kinds of expectations(getText, isPresent, etc...) can be performed with toBeTruthy() when .all() comes into picture. Hope this helps.

Printing PDFs from Windows Command Line

I know this is and old question, but i was faced with the same problem recently and none of the answers worked for me:

  • Couldn't find an old Foxit Reader version
  • As @pilkch said 2Printer adds a report page
  • Adobe Reader opens a gui

After searching a little more i found this: http://www.columbia.edu/~em36/pdftoprinter.html.

It's a simple exe that you call with the filename and it prints to the default printer (or one that you specify). From the site:

PDFtoPrinter is a program for printing PDF files from the Windows command line. The program is designed generally for the Windows command line and also for use with the vDos DOS emulator.

To print a PDF file to the default Windows printer, use this command:

PDFtoPrinter.exe filename.pdf

To print to a specific printer, add the name of the printer in quotation marks:

PDFtoPrinter.exe filename.pdf "Name of Printer"

If you want to print to a network printer, use the name that appears in Windows print dialogs, like this (and be careful to note the two backslashes at the start of the name and the single backslash after the servername):

PDFtoPrinter.exe filename.pdf "\\SERVER\PrinterName"

Working with INTERVAL and CURDATE in MySQL

Angularjs action on click of button

The calculation occurs immediately since the calculation call is bound in the template, which displays its result when quantity changes.

Instead you could try the following approach. Change your markup to the following:

<div ng-controller="myAppController" style="text-align:center">
  <p style="font-size:28px;">Enter Quantity:
      <input type="text" ng-model="quantity"/>
  </p>
  <button ng-click="calculateQuantity()">Calculate</button>
  <h2>Total Cost: Rs.{{quantityResult}}</h2>
</div>

Next, update your controller:

myAppModule.controller('myAppController', function($scope,calculateService) {
  $scope.quantity=1;
  $scope.quantityResult = 0;

  $scope.calculateQuantity = function() {
    $scope.quantityResult = calculateService.calculate($scope.quantity, 10);
  };
});

Here's a JSBin example that demonstrates the above approach.

The problem with this approach is the calculated result remains visible with the old value till the button is clicked. To address this, you could hide the result whenever the quantity changes.

This would involve updating the template to add an ng-change on the input, and an ng-if on the result:

<input type="text" ng-change="hideQuantityResult()" ng-model="quantity"/>

and

<h2 ng-if="showQuantityResult">Total Cost: Rs.{{quantityResult}}</h2>

In the controller add:

$scope.showQuantityResult = false;

$scope.calculateQuantity = function() {
  $scope.quantityResult = calculateService.calculate($scope.quantity, 10);
  $scope.showQuantityResult = true;
};

$scope.hideQuantityResult = function() {
  $scope.showQuantityResult = false;
}; 

These updates can be seen in this JSBin demo.

Reading a huge .csv file

If you are using pandas and have lots of RAM (enough to read the whole file into memory) try using pd.read_csv with low_memory=False, e.g.:

import pandas as pd
data = pd.read_csv('file.csv', low_memory=False)

Passing a Bundle on startActivity()?

You have a few options:

1) Use the Bundle from the Intent:

Intent mIntent = new Intent(this, Example.class);
Bundle extras = mIntent.getExtras();
extras.putString(key, value);  

2) Create a new Bundle

Intent mIntent = new Intent(this, Example.class);
Bundle mBundle = new Bundle();
mBundle.putString(key, value);
mIntent.putExtras(mBundle);

3) Use the putExtra() shortcut method of the Intent

Intent mIntent = new Intent(this, Example.class);
mIntent.putExtra(key, value);


Then, in the launched Activity, you would read them via:

String value = getIntent().getExtras().getString(key)

NOTE: Bundles have "get" and "put" methods for all the primitive types, Parcelables, and Serializables. I just used Strings for demonstrational purposes.

How can I pass request headers with jQuery's getJSON() method?

I agree with sunetos that you'll have to use the $.ajax function in order to pass request headers. In order to do that, you'll have to write a function for the beforeSend event handler, which is one of the $.ajax() options. Here's a quick sample on how to do that:

<html>
  <head>
    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
      $(document).ready(function() {
        $.ajax({
          url: 'service.svc/Request',
          type: 'GET',
          dataType: 'json',
          success: function() { alert('hello!'); },
          error: function() { alert('boo!'); },
          beforeSend: setHeader
        });
      });

      function setHeader(xhr) {
        xhr.setRequestHeader('securityCode', 'Foo');
        xhr.setRequestHeader('passkey', 'Bar');
      }
    </script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Some Text</h1>
  </body>
</html>

If you run the code above and watch the traffic in a tool like Fiddler, you'll see two requests headers passed in:

  • securityCode with a value of Foo
  • passkey with a value of Bar

The setHeader function could also be inline in the $.ajax options, but I wanted to call it out.

Hope this helps!

Git pull till a particular commit

I've found the updated answer from this video, the accepted answer didn't work for me.

First clone the latest repo from git (if haven't) using git clone <HTTPs link of the project> (or using SSH) then go to the desire branch using git checkout <branch name> .

Use the command

git log

to check the latest commits. Copy the shal of the particular commit. Then use the command

git fetch origin <Copy paste the shal here>

After pressing enter key. Now use the command

git checkout FETCH_HEAD

Now the particular commit will be available to your local. Change anything and push the code using git push origin <branch name> . That's all. Check the video for reference.

Clearing _POST array fully

To answer "why" someone might use it, I was tempted to use it since I had the $_POST values stored after the page refresh or while going from one page to another. My sense tells me this is not a good practice, but it works nevertheless.

change background image in body

Just set an onload function on the body:

<body onload="init()">

Then do something like this in javascript:

function init() {
  var someimage = 'changableBackgroudImage';
  document.body.style.background = 'url(img/'+someimage+'.png) no-repeat center center'
}

You can change the 'someimage' variable to whatever you want depending on some conditions, such as the time of day or something, and that image will be set as the background image.

How do I call a dynamically-named method in Javascript?

As Triptych points out, you can call any global scope function by finding it in the host object's contents.

A cleaner method, which pollutes the global namespace much less, is to explicitly put the functions into an array directly like so:

var dyn_functions = [];
dyn_functions['populate_Colours'] = function (arg1, arg2) { 
                // function body
           };
dyn_functions['populate_Shapes'] = function (arg1, arg2) { 
                // function body
           };
// calling one of the functions
var result = dyn_functions['populate_Shapes'](1, 2);
// this works as well due to the similarity between arrays and objects
var result2 = dyn_functions.populate_Shapes(1, 2);

This array could also be a property of some object other than the global host object too meaning that you can effectively create your own namespace as many JS libraries such as jQuery do. This is useful for reducing conflicts if/when you include multiple separate utility libraries in the same page, and (other parts of your design permitting) can make it easier to reuse the code in other pages.

You could also use an object like so, which you might find cleaner:

var dyn_functions = {};
dyn_functions.populate_Colours = function (arg1, arg2) { 
                // function body
           };
dyn_functions['populate_Shapes'] = function (arg1, arg2) { 
                // function body
           };
// calling one of the functions
var result = dyn_functions.populate_Shapes(1, 2);
// this works as well due to the similarity between arrays and objects
var result2 = dyn_functions['populate_Shapes'](1, 2);

Note that with either an array or an object, you can use either method of setting or accessing the functions, and can of course store other objects in there too. You can further reduce the syntax of either method for content that isn't that dynamic by using JS literal notation like so:

var dyn_functions = {
           populate_Colours:function (arg1, arg2) { 
                // function body
           };
         , populate_Shapes:function (arg1, arg2) { 
                // function body
           };
};

Edit: of course for larger blocks of functionality you can expand the above to the very common "module pattern" which is a popular way to encapsulate code features in an organised manner.

How to get datas from List<Object> (Java)?

Thanks All for your responses. Good solution was to use 'brain`s' method:

List<Object> list = getHouseInfo();
for (int i=0; i<list.size; i++){
Object[] row = (Object[]) list.get(i);
System.out.println("Element "+i+Arrays.toString(row));
}

Problem solved. Thanks again.

How do I integrate Ajax with Django applications?

I have tried to use AjaxableResponseMixin in my project, but had ended up with the following error message:

ImproperlyConfigured: No URL to redirect to. Either provide a url or define a get_absolute_url method on the Model.

That is because the CreateView will return a redirect response instead of returning a HttpResponse when you to send JSON request to the browser. So I have made some changes to the AjaxableResponseMixin. If the request is an ajax request, it will not call the super.form_valid method, just call the form.save() directly.

from django.http import JsonResponse
from django import forms
from django.db import models

class AjaxableResponseMixin(object):
    success_return_code = 1
    error_return_code = 0
    """

    Must be used with an object-based FormView (e.g. CreateView)
    """
    def form_invalid(self, form):
        response = super(AjaxableResponseMixin, self).form_invalid(form)
        if self.request.is_ajax():
            form.errors.update({'result': self.error_return_code})
            return JsonResponse(form.errors, status=400)
        else:
            return response

    def form_valid(self, form):
        # We make sure to call the parent's form_valid() method because
        # it might do some processing (in the case of CreateView, it will
        # call form.save() for example).
        if self.request.is_ajax():
            self.object = form.save()
            data = {
                'result': self.success_return_code
            }
            return JsonResponse(data)
        else:

How to efficiently build a tree from a flat structure?

Store IDs of the objects in a hash table mapping to the specific object. Enumerate through all the objects and find their parent if it exists and update its parent pointer accordingly.

class MyObject
{ // The actual object
    public int ParentID { get; set; }
    public int ID { get; set; }
}

class Node
{
    public List<Node> Children = new List<Node>();
    public Node Parent { get; set; }
    public MyObject AssociatedObject { get; set; }
}

IEnumerable<Node> BuildTreeAndGetRoots(List<MyObject> actualObjects)
{
    Dictionary<int, Node> lookup = new Dictionary<int, Node>();
    actualObjects.ForEach(x => lookup.Add(x.ID, new Node { AssociatedObject = x }));
    foreach (var item in lookup.Values) {
        Node proposedParent;
        if (lookup.TryGetValue(item.AssociatedObject.ParentID, out proposedParent)) {
            item.Parent = proposedParent;
            proposedParent.Children.Add(item);

How to determine equality for two JavaScript objects?

Here is a very basic approach to checking an object's "value equality".

var john = {
    occupation: "Web Developer",
    age: 25
};

var bobby = {
    occupation: "Web Developer",
    age: 25
};

function isEquivalent(a, b) {
    // Create arrays of property names

    var aProps = Object.getOwnPropertyNames(a);
    var bProps = Object.getOwnPropertyNames(b);

    // If number of properties is different, objects are not equivalent

    if (aProps.length != bProps.length) {
        return false;
    }

    for (var i = 0; i < aProps.length; i++) {
        var propName = aProps[i];

        // If values of same property are not equal, objects are not equivalent
        if (a[propName] !== b[propName]) {
           return false;
        }
    }

    // If we made it this far, objects are considered equivalent
    return true;
}

// Outputs: true
console.log(isEquivalent(john, bobby));

Demo - JSFiddle

As you can see, to check the objects' "value equality" we essentially have to iterate over every property in the objects to see whether they are equal. And while this simple implementation works for our example, there are a lot of cases that it doesn't handle. For instance:

  • What if one of the property values is itself an object?
  • What if one of the property values is NaN (the only value in JavaScript that is not equal to itself?)
  • What if a has a property with value undefined, while b doesn't have this property (which thus evaluates to undefined?)

For a robust method of checking objects' "value equality" it is better to rely on a well-tested library that covers the various edge cases like Underscore.

var john = {
    occupation: "Web Developer",
    age: 25
};

var bobby = {
    occupation: "Web Developer",
    age: 25
};

// Outputs: true
console.log(_.isEqual(john, bobby));

Change string color with NSAttributedString?

For Swift 5:

var attributes = [NSAttributedString.Key: AnyObject]()
attributes[.foregroundColor] = UIColor.red

let attributedString = NSAttributedString(string: "Very Bad", attributes: attributes)

label.attributedText = attributedString

For Swift 4:

var attributes = [NSAttributedStringKey: AnyObject]()
attributes[.foregroundColor] = UIColor.red

let attributedString = NSAttributedString(string: "Very Bad", attributes: attributes)

label.attributedText = attributedString

For Swift 3:

var attributes = [String: AnyObject]()
attributes[NSForegroundColorAttributeName] = UIColor.red

let attributedString = NSAttributedString(string: "Very Bad", attributes: attributes)

label.attributedText = attributedString

try/catch with InputMismatchException creates infinite loop

@Limp, your answer is right, just use .nextLine() while reading the input. Sample code:

    do {
        try {
            System.out.println("Enter first num: ");
            n1 = Integer.parseInt(input.nextLine());
            System.out.println("Enter second num: ");
            n2 = Integer.parseInt(input.nextLine());
            nQuotient = n1 / n2;
            bError = false;
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("Error!");
        }
    } while (bError);

    System.out.printf("%d/%d = %d", n1, n2, nQuotient);

Read the description of why this problem was caused in the link below. Look for the answer I posted for the detail in this thread. Java Homework user input issue

Ok, I will briefly describe it. When you read input using nextInt(), you just read the number part but the ENDLINE character was still on the stream. That was the main cause. Now look at the code above, all I did is read the whole line and parse it , it still throws the exception and work the way you were expecting it to work. Rest of your code works fine.

Representing EOF in C code?

The EOF character recognized by the command interpreter on Windows (and MSDOS, and CP/M) is 0x1a (decimal 26, aka Ctrl+Z aka SUB)

It can still be be used today for example to mark the end of a human-readable header in a binary file: if the file begins with "Some description\x1a" the user can dump the file content to the console using the TYPE command and the dump will stop at the EOF character, i.e. print Some description and stop, instead of continuing with the garbage that follows.

How to uninstall / completely remove Oracle 11g (client)?

There are some more actions you should consider:

  • Remove Registry Entries for MS Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MSDTC)

    Note: on the Internet I found this step only at a single (private) page. I don't know if it is required/working or if it breaks anything on your PC.

    • Open Regedit
    • Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\MSDTC\MTxOCI
    • Add an x before each string for OracleOciLib, OracleSqlLib, and OracleXaLib
    • Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\MSDTC\MTxOCI
    • Add an x before each string for OracleOciLib, OracleSqlLib, and OracleXaLib

    Otherwise these files, if they exist, will still be in use next time you reboot, and unable to be deleted.

  • Remove environment variable ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_BASE, TNS_ADMIN, NLS_LANG if exist

    Check also Oracle doc to find all Oracle related environment variables, however apart from variables listed above they are very rarely used on Windows Client: Oracle Environment Variables

  • Unregister oci.dll

    • Open a command line window (Start Menu -> Run... -> cmd)
    • Enter regsvr32 /u oci.dll, resp. %windir%\SysWOW64\regsvr32 /u oci.dll

    • In some cases the file %ORACLE_HOME%\bin\oci.dll is locked and you cannot delete it. In such case rename the file (e.g. to oci.dll.x) and reboot the PC, afterwards you can delete it.

  • Remove Oracle .NET assemblies from Global Assembly Cache (GAC). You do this typically with the gacutil utility, if available on your system. Would be like this:

    gacutil /u Policy.10.1.Oracle.DataAccess
    gacutil /u Policy.10.2.Oracle.DataAccess
    gacutil /u Policy.1.102.Oracle.DataAccess
    gacutil /u Policy.1.111.Oracle.DataAccess
    
    gacutil /u Policy.2.102.Oracle.DataAccess
    gacutil /u Policy.2.111.Oracle.DataAccess
    gacutil /u Policy.2.112.Oracle.DataAccess
    gacutil /u Policy.2.121.Oracle.DataAccess
    gacutil /u Policy.2.122.Oracle.DataAccess
    
    gacutil /u Policy.4.112.Oracle.DataAccess
    gacutil /u Policy.4.121.Oracle.DataAccess
    gacutil /u Policy.4.122.Oracle.DataAccess
    
    gacutil /u Oracle.DataAccess
    gacutil /u Oracle.DataAccess.resources
    
    gacutil /u Policy.4.121.Oracle.ManagedDataAccess
    gacutil /u Policy.4.122.Oracle.ManagedDataAccess
    gacutil /u Oracle.ManagedDataAccess
    gacutil /u Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.resources
    gacutil /u Oracle.ManagedDataAccessDTC
    gacutil /u Oracle.ManagedDataAccessIOP
    gacutil /u Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.EntityFramework
    
    • Entry System.Data.OracleClient should not be removed, this one is installed by Microsoft - not an Oracle component!

    • Instead of gacutil /u ... you can also use OraProvCfg /action:ungac /providerpath:... if OraProvCfg is still available on your system. You may find it at %ORACLE_HOME%\odp.net\managed\x64\OraProvCfg.exe.

  • With a text editor, open XML Config file %SYSTEMROOT%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Config\machine.config and delete branch <oracle.manageddataaccess.client>, if existing.

    • Do the same with:

      %SYSTEMROOT%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Config\machine.config
      %SYSTEMROOT%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Config\machine.config
      %SYSTEMROOT%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Config\web.config
      %SYSTEMROOT%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Config\web.config
      

    Instead of editing the XML Config file manually you can also run (if OraProvCfg.exe is still available on your system):

    %ORACLE_HOME%\odp.net\managed\x64\OraProvCfg.exe /action:unconfig /product:odpm /frameworkversion:v4.0.30319 
    %ORACLE_HOME%\odp.net\managed\x86\OraProvCfg.exe /action:unconfig /product:odpm /frameworkversion:v4.0.30319
    %ORACLE_HOME%\odp.net\managed\x64\OraProvCfg.exe /action:unconfig /product:odp /frameworkversion:v4.0.30319 
    %ORACLE_HOME%\odp.net\managed\x86\OraProvCfg.exe /action:unconfig /product:odp /frameworkversion:v4.0.30319
    
  • Check following Registry Keys and delete them if existing

    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v2.0.50727\AssemblyFoldersEx\ODP.Net

How to install Ruby 2.1.4 on Ubuntu 14.04

Use RVM (Ruby Version Manager) to install and manage any versions of Ruby. You can have multiple versions of Ruby installed on the machine and you can easily select the one you want.

To install RVM type into terminal:

\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable

And let it work. After that you will have RVM along with Ruby installed.

How do I include a path to libraries in g++

To specify a directory to search for (binary) libraries, you just use -L:

-L/data[...]/lib

To specify the actual library name, you use -l:

-lfoo  # (links libfoo.a or libfoo.so)

To specify a directory to search for include files (different from libraries!) you use -I:

-I/data[...]/lib

So I think what you want is something like

g++ -g -Wall -I/data[...]/lib testing.cpp fileparameters.cpp main.cpp -o test

These compiler flags (amongst others) can also be found at the GNU GCC Command Options manual:

How do I clear the dropdownlist values on button click event using jQuery?

A shorter alternative to the first solution given by Russ Cam would be:

$('#mySelect').val('');

This assumes you want to retain the list, but make it so that no option is selected.

If you wish to select a particular default value, just pass that value instead of an empty string.

$('#mySelect').val('someDefaultValue');

or to do it by the index of the option, you could do:

$('#mySelect option:eq(0)').attr('selected','selected'); // Select first option

Creating a BAT file for python script

Secure FTP using Windows batch script

First, make sure you understand, if you need to use Secure FTP (=FTPS, as per your text) or SFTP (as per tag you have used).

Neither is supported by Windows command-line ftp.exe. As you have suggested, you can use WinSCP. It supports both FTPS and SFTP.

Using WinSCP, your batch file would look like (for SFTP):

echo open sftp://ftp_user:[email protected] -hostkey="server's hostkey" >> ftpcmd.dat
echo put c:\directory\%1-export-%date%.csv >> ftpcmd.dat
echo exit >> ftpcmd.dat
winscp.com /script=ftpcmd.dat
del ftpcmd.dat

And the batch file:

winscp.com /log=ftpcmd.log /script=ftpcmd.dat /parameter %1 %date%

Though using all capabilities of WinSCP (particularly providing commands directly on command-line and the %TIMESTAMP% syntax), the batch file simplifies to:

winscp.com /log=ftpcmd.log /command ^
    "open sftp://ftp_user:[email protected] -hostkey=""server's hostkey""" ^
    "put c:\directory\%1-export-%%TIMESTAMP#yyyymmdd%%.csv" ^
    "exit"

For the purpose of -hostkey switch, see verifying the host key in script.

Easier than assembling the script/batch file manually is to setup and test the connection settings in WinSCP GUI and then have it generate the script or batch file for you:

Generate batch file

All you need to tweak is the source file name (use the %TIMESTAMP% syntax as shown previously) and the path to the log file.


For FTPS, replace the sftp:// in the open command with ftpes:// (explicit TLS/SSL) or ftps:// (implicit TLS/SSL). Remove the -hostkey switch.

winscp.com /log=ftpcmd.log /command ^
    "open ftps://ftp_user:[email protected] -explicit" ^
    "put c:\directory\%1-export-%%TIMESTAMP#yyyymmdd%%.csv" ^
    "exit"

You may need to add the -certificate switch, if your server's certificate is not issued by a trusted authority.

Again, as with the SFTP, easier is to setup and test the connection settings in WinSCP GUI and then have it generate the script or batch file for you.


See a complete conversion guide from ftp.exe to WinSCP.

You should also read the Guide to automating file transfers to FTP server or SFTP server.


Note to using %TIMESTAMP#yyyymmdd% instead of %date%: A format of %date% variable value is locale-specific. So make sure you test the script on the same locale you are actually going to use the script on. For example on my Czech locale the %date% resolves to ct 06. 11. 2014, what might be problematic when used as a part of a file name.

For this reason WinSCP supports (locale-neutral) timestamp formatting natively. For example %TIMESTAMP#yyyymmdd% resolves to 20170515 on any locale.

How to properly override clone method?

Use serialization to make deep copies. This is not the quickest solution but it does not depend on the type.

Go Back to Previous Page

If your web-server correctly redirects you to a new page after you made a post, the regular "back" button on the browser will work. Or the "history.go(-1)" in javascript. This will produce a filled out form.

However, if the server just returns new content without redirecting - then history.go(-1) is not going to help you. At that point you have lost your form.

If you just want to simply go back to the previous url - just link to it with an A HREF tag. That will show you an empty form.

Subtract minute from DateTime in SQL Server 2005

Use DATEPART to pull apart your interval, and DATEADD to subtract the parts:

select dateadd(
     hh,
    -1 * datepart(hh, cast('1:15' as datetime)),
    dateadd(
        mi,
        -1 * datepart(mi, cast('1:15' as datetime)),
        '2000-01-01 08:30:00'))

or, we can convert to minutes first (though OP would prefer not to):

declare @mins int
select @mins = datepart(mi, cast('1:15' as datetime)) + 60 * datepart(hh, cast('1:15' as datetime)) 
select dateadd(mi, -1 * @mins, '2000-01-01 08:30:00')

How can I be notified when an element is added to the page?

You can use livequery plugin for jQuery. You can provide a selector expression such as:

$("input[type=button].removeItemButton").livequery(function () {
    $("#statusBar").text('You may now remove items.');
});

Every time a button of a removeItemButton class is added a message appears in a status bar.

In terms of efficiency you might want avoid this, but in any case you could leverage the plugin instead of creating your own event handlers.

Revisited answer

The answer above was only meant to detect that an item has been added to the DOM through the plugin.

However, most likely, a jQuery.on() approach would be more appropriate, for example:

$("#myParentContainer").on('click', '.removeItemButton', function(){
          alert($(this).text() + ' has been removed');
});

If you have dynamic content that should respond to clicks for example, it's best to bind events to a parent container using jQuery.on.

Get length of array?

Length of an array:

UBound(columns)-LBound(columns)+1

UBound alone is not the best method for getting the length of every array as arrays in VBA can start at different indexes, e.g Dim arr(2 to 10)

UBound will return correct results only if the array is 1-based (starts indexing at 1 e.g. Dim arr(1 to 10). It will return wrong results in any other circumstance e.g. Dim arr(10)

More on the VBA Array in this VBA Array tutorial.

Difference in make_shared and normal shared_ptr in C++

The shared pointer manages both the object itself, and a small object containing the reference count and other housekeeping data. make_shared can allocate a single block of memory to hold both of these; constructing a shared pointer from a pointer to an already-allocated object will need to allocate a second block to store the reference count.

As well as this efficiency, using make_shared means that you don't need to deal with new and raw pointers at all, giving better exception safety - there is no possibility of throwing an exception after allocating the object but before assigning it to the smart pointer.

Where does SVN client store user authentication data?

Read SVNBook | Client Credentials.

With modern SVN you can just run svn auth to display the list of cached credentials. Don't forget to make sure that you run up-to-date SVN client version because svn auth was introduced in version 1.9. The last line will specify the path to credential store which by default is %APPDATA%\Subversion\auth on Windows and ~/.subversion/auth/ on Unix-like systems.

PS C:\Users\MyUser> svn auth
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Credential kind: svn.simple
Authentication realm: <https://svn.example.local:443> VisualSVN Server
Password cache: wincrypt
Password: [not shown]
Username: user

Credentials cache in 'C:\Users\MyUser\AppData\Roaming\Subversion' contains 5 credentials

Using sed and grep/egrep to search and replace

Use this command:

egrep -lRZ "\.jpg|\.png|\.gif" . \
    | xargs -0 -l sed -i -e 's/\.jpg\|\.gif\|\.png/.bmp/g'
  • egrep: find matching lines using extended regular expressions

    • -l: only list matching filenames

    • -R: search recursively through all given directories

    • -Z: use \0 as record separator

    • "\.jpg|\.png|\.gif": match one of the strings ".jpg", ".gif" or ".png"

    • .: start the search in the current directory

  • xargs: execute a command with the stdin as argument

    • -0: use \0 as record separator. This is important to match the -Z of egrep and to avoid being fooled by spaces and newlines in input filenames.

    • -l: use one line per command as parameter

  • sed: the stream editor

    • -i: replace the input file with the output without making a backup

    • -e: use the following argument as expression

    • 's/\.jpg\|\.gif\|\.png/.bmp/g': replace all occurrences of the strings ".jpg", ".gif" or ".png" with ".bmp"

How to get current foreground activity context in android?

I did the Following in Kotlin

  1. Create Application Class
  2. Edit the Application Class as Follows

    class FTApplication: MultiDexApplication() {
    override fun attachBaseContext(base: Context?) {
        super.attachBaseContext(base)
        MultiDex.install(this)
    }
    
    init {
        instance = this
    }
    
    val mFTActivityLifecycleCallbacks = FTActivityLifecycleCallbacks()
    
    override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()
    
        registerActivityLifecycleCallbacks(mFTActivityLifecycleCallbacks)
    }
    
    companion object {
        private var instance: FTApplication? = null
    
        fun currentActivity(): Activity? {
    
            return instance!!.mFTActivityLifecycleCallbacks.currentActivity
        }
    }
    
     }
    
  3. Create the ActivityLifecycleCallbacks class

    class FTActivityLifecycleCallbacks: Application.ActivityLifecycleCallbacks {
    
    var currentActivity: Activity? = null
    
    override fun onActivityPaused(activity: Activity?) {
        currentActivity = activity
    }
    
    override fun onActivityResumed(activity: Activity?) {
        currentActivity = activity
    }
    
    override fun onActivityStarted(activity: Activity?) {
        currentActivity = activity
    }
    
    override fun onActivityDestroyed(activity: Activity?) {
    }
    
    override fun onActivitySaveInstanceState(activity: Activity?, outState: Bundle?) {
    }
    
    override fun onActivityStopped(activity: Activity?) {
    }
    
    override fun onActivityCreated(activity: Activity?, savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        currentActivity = activity
    }
    
    }
    
  4. you can now use it in any class by calling the following: FTApplication.currentActivity()

Connecting to SQL Server with Visual Studio Express Editions

You should be able to choose the SQL Server Database file option to get the right kind of database (the system.data.SqlClient provider), and then manually correct the connection string to point to your db.

I think the reasoning behind those db choices probably goes something like this:

  • If you're using the Express Edition, and you're not using Visual Web Developer, you're probably building a desktop program.
  • If you're building a desktop program, and you're using the express edition, you're probably a hobbyist or uISV-er working at home rather than doing development for a corporation.
  • If you're not developing for a corporation, your app is probably destined for the end-user and your data store is probably going on their local machine.
  • You really shouldn't be deploying server-class databases to end-user desktops. An in-process db like Sql Server Compact or MS Access is much more appropriate.

However, this logic doesn't quite hold. Even if each of those 4 points is true 90% of the time, by the time you apply all four of them it only applies to ~65% of your audience, which means up to 35% of the express market might legitimately want to talk to a server-class db, and that's a significant group. And so, the simplified (greedy) version:

  • A real db server (and the hardware to run it) costs real money. If you have access to that, you ought to be able to afford at least the standard edition of visual studio.

Skip Git commit hooks

Maybe (from git commit man page):

git commit --no-verify

-n  
--no-verify

This option bypasses the pre-commit and commit-msg hooks. See also githooks(5).

As commented by Blaise, -n can have a different role for certain commands.
For instance, git push -n is actually a dry-run push.
Only git push --no-verify would skip the hook.


Note: Git 2.14.x/2.15 improves the --no-verify behavior:

See commit 680ee55 (14 Aug 2017) by Kevin Willford (``).
(Merged by Junio C Hamano -- gitster -- in commit c3e034f, 23 Aug 2017)

commit: skip discarding the index if there is no pre-commit hook

"git commit" used to discard the index and re-read from the filesystem just in case the pre-commit hook has updated it in the middle; this has been optimized out when we know we do not run the pre-commit hook.


Davi Lima points out in the comments the git cherry-pick does not support --no-verify.
So if a cherry-pick triggers a pre-commit hook, you might, as in this blog post, have to comment/disable somehow that hook in order for your git cherry-pick to proceed.
The same process would be necessary in case of a git rebase --continue, after a merge conflict resolution.

How do I link a JavaScript file to a HTML file?

You can add script tags in your HTML document, ideally inside the which points to your javascript files. Order of the script tags are important. Load the jQuery before your script files if you want to use jQuery from your script.

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="relative/path/to/your/javascript.js"></script>

Then in your javascript file you can refer to jQuery either using $ sign or jQuery. Example:

jQuery.each(arr, function(i) { console.log(i); }); 

How to get the file name from a full path using JavaScript?

What platform does the path come from? Windows paths are different from POSIX paths are different from Mac OS 9 paths are different from RISC OS paths are different...

If it's a web app where the filename can come from different platforms there is no one solution. However a reasonable stab is to use both '\' (Windows) and '/' (Linux/Unix/Mac and also an alternative on Windows) as path separators. Here's a non-RegExp version for extra fun:

var leafname= pathname.split('\\').pop().split('/').pop();

How to position the Button exactly in CSS

Try using absolute positioning, rather than relative positioning

this should get you close - you can adjust by tweaking margins or top/left positions

    top: 50%;
    left: 50%;
}

What do the python file extensions, .pyc .pyd .pyo stand for?

  • .py - Regular script
  • .py3 - (rarely used) Python3 script. Python3 scripts usually end with ".py" not ".py3", but I have seen that a few times
  • .pyc - compiled script (Bytecode)
  • .pyo - optimized pyc file (As of Python3.5, Python will only use pyc rather than pyo and pyc)
  • .pyw - Python script to run in Windowed mode, without a console; executed with pythonw.exe
  • .pyx - Cython src to be converted to C/C++
  • .pyd - Python script made as a Windows DLL
  • .pxd - Cython script which is equivalent to a C/C++ header
  • .pxi - MyPy stub
  • .pyi - Stub file (PEP 484)
  • .pyz - Python script archive (PEP 441); this is a script containing compressed Python scripts (ZIP) in binary form after the standard Python script header
  • .pywz - Python script archive for MS-Windows (PEP 441); this is a script containing compressed Python scripts (ZIP) in binary form after the standard Python script header
  • .py[cod] - wildcard notation in ".gitignore" that means the file may be ".pyc", ".pyo", or ".pyd".
  • .pth - a path configuration file; its contents are additional items (one per line) to be added to sys.path. See site module.

A larger list of additional Python file-extensions (mostly rare and unofficial) can be found at http://dcjtech.info/topic/python-file-extensions/

Difference between webdriver.Dispose(), .Close() and .Quit()

close() is a webdriver command which closes the browser window which is currently in focus. Despite the familiar name for this method, WebDriver does not implement the AutoCloseable interface.

During the automation process, if there are more than one browser window opened, then the close() command will close only the current browser window which is having focus at that time. The remaining browser windows will not be closed. The following code can be used to close the current browser window:

quit() is a webdriver command which calls the driver.dispose method, which in turn closes all the browser windows and terminates the WebDriver session. If we do not use quit() at the end of program, the WebDriver session will not be closed properly and the files will not be cleared off memory. This may result in memory leak errors.

If the Automation process opens only a single browser window, the close() and quit() commands work in the same way. Both will differ in their functionality when there are more than one browser window opened during Automation.

For Above Ref : click here

Dispose Command Dispose() should call Quit(), and it appears it does. However, it also has the same problem in that any subsequent actions are blocked until PhantomJS is manually closed.

converting string to long in python

longcan only take string convertibles which can end in a base 10 numeral. So, the decimal is causing the harm. What you can do is, float the value before calling the long. If your program is on Python 2.x where int and long difference matters, and you are sure you are not using large integers, you could have just been fine with using int to provide the key as well.

So, the answer is long(float('234.89')) or it could just be int(float('234.89')) if you are not using large integers. Also note that this difference does not arise in Python 3, because int is upgraded to long by default. All integers are long in python3 and call to covert is just int

html select scroll bar

Horizontal scrollbars in a HTML Select are not natively supported. However, here's a way to create the appearance of a horizontal scrollbar:

1. First create a css class

<style type="text/css">
 .scrollable{
   overflow: auto;
   width: 70px; /* adjust this width depending to amount of text to display */
   height: 80px; /* adjust height depending on number of options to display */
   border: 1px silver solid;
 }
 .scrollable select{
   border: none;
 }
</style>

2. Wrap the SELECT inside a DIV - also, explicitly set the size to the number of options.

<div class="scrollable">
<select size="6" multiple="multiple">
    <option value="1" selected>option 1 The Long Option</option>
    <option value="2">option 2</option>
    <option value="3">option 3</option>
    <option value="4">option 4</option>
    <option value="5">option 5 Another Longer than the Long Option ;)</option>
    <option value="6">option 6</option>
</select>
</div>

Errno 13 Permission denied Python

The problem here is your user doesn't have proper rights/permissions to open the file this means that you'd need to grant some administrative privileges to your python ide before you run that command.

As you are a windows user you just need to right click on python ide => select option 'Run as Administrator' and then run your command.

And if you are using the command line to run the codes, do the same open the command prompt with admin rights. Hope it helps

Interface naming in Java

In C# it is

public class AdminForumUser : UserBase, IUser

Java would say

public class AdminForumUser extends User implements ForumUserInterface

Because of that, I don't think conventions are nearly as important in java for interfaces, since there is an explicit difference between inheritance and interface implementation. I would say just choose any naming convention you would like, as long as you are consistant and use something to show people that these are interfaces. Haven't done java in a few years, but all interfaces would just be in their own directory, and that was the convention. Never really had any issues with it.

How do I create JavaScript array (JSON format) dynamically?

What I do is something just a little bit different from @Chase answer:

var employees = {};

// ...and then:
employees.accounting = new Array();

for (var i = 0; i < someArray.length; i++) {
    var temp_item = someArray[i];

    // Maybe, here make something like:
    // temp_item.name = 'some value'

    employees.accounting.push({
        "firstName" : temp_item.firstName,
        "lastName"  : temp_item.lastName,
        "age"       : temp_item.age
    });
}

And that work form me!

I hope it could be useful for some body else!

Clearing an input text field in Angular2

There are two additional ways to do it apart from the two methods mentioned in @PradeepJain's answer.

I would suggest not to use this approach and to fall back to this only as a last resort if you are not using [(ngModel)] directive and also not using data binding via [value]. Read this for more info.

Using ElementRef

app.component.html

<div>
      <input type="text" #searchInput placeholder="Search...">
      <button (click)="clearSearchInput()">Clear</button>
</div>

app.component.ts

export class App {
  @ViewChild('searchInput') searchInput: ElementRef;

  clearSearchInput(){
     this.searchInput.nativeElement.value = '';
  }
}

Using FormGroup

app.component.html

<form [formGroup]="form">
    <div *ngIf="first.invalid"> Name is too short. </div>
    <input formControlName="first" placeholder="First name">
    <input formControlName="last" placeholder="Last name">
    <button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
<button (click)="setValue()">Set preset value</button>
<button (click)="clearInputMethod1()">Clear Input Method 1</button>
<button (click)="clearInputMethod2()">Clear Input Method 2</button>

app.component.ts

export class AppComponent {
  form = new FormGroup({
    first: new FormControl('Nancy', Validators.minLength(2)),
    last: new FormControl('Drew'),
  });
  get first(): any { return this.form.get('first'); }
  get last(): any { return this.form.get('last'); }
  clearInputMethod1() { this.first.reset(); this.last.reset(); }
  clearInputMethod2() { this.form.setValue({first: '', last: ''}); }
  setValue() { this.form.setValue({first: 'Nancy', last: 'Drew'}); }
}

Error: Address already in use while binding socket with address but the port number is shown free by `netstat`

I know its been a while since the question was asked but I was able to find a solution:

int sockfd;
int option = 1;
sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
setsockopt(sockfd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, &option, sizeof(option));

This set the socket able to be reused immediately.

I apologize if this is "wrong". I'm not very experienced with sockets

DefaultContextMenu.addDefaultContextMenu(textArea);

Now the textArea will have a context menu when it is right-clicked on.

How to install SQL Server 2005 Express in Windows 8

I had the same problem. But I also had to perform additional steps. Here is what I did.

Perform the following steps (Only 64bit version of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition tested on Windows 8 Pro 64bit)

  1. Extract sqlncli.msi / sqlncli_x64.msi from SP3 or SP4. I did it from SP4
  2. Install sqlncli
  3. Start SQL Server 2005 Setup
  4. During setup I received an error The SQL Server service failed to start. For more information, see the SQL Server Books Online topics, "How to: View SQL Server 2005 Setup Log Files" and "Starting SQL Server Manually."
  5. Don't click cancel yet. From an installation of SQL Server 2005 SP3 or SP4 copy SQLSERVR.EXE and SQLOS.DLL files and put them in your SQL install folder.
  6. Click RETRY

For STEP 5 above: Although I didn't try looking into SP4 / SP3 setup for SQLSERVR.EXE and SQLOS.DLL but if you don't have an existing installation of SQL Server 2005 SP3/SP4 then maybe try looking into the SP3/SP4 EXE (Compressed file). I am not sure if this may help. In any case you can create a VM and install SQL Server 2005 with SP3/Sp4 to copy the files for Windows 8

Seeding the random number generator in Javascript

No, but here's a simple pseudorandom generator, an implementation of Multiply-with-carry I adapted from Wikipedia (has been removed since):

var m_w = 123456789;
var m_z = 987654321;
var mask = 0xffffffff;

// Takes any integer
function seed(i) {
    m_w = (123456789 + i) & mask;
    m_z = (987654321 - i) & mask;
}

// Returns number between 0 (inclusive) and 1.0 (exclusive),
// just like Math.random().
function random()
{
    m_z = (36969 * (m_z & 65535) + (m_z >> 16)) & mask;
    m_w = (18000 * (m_w & 65535) + (m_w >> 16)) & mask;
    var result = ((m_z << 16) + (m_w & 65535)) >>> 0;
    result /= 4294967296;
    return result;
}

EDIT: fixed seed function by making it reset m_z
EDIT2: Serious implementation flaws have been fixed

Creating and throwing new exception

You can throw your own custom errors by extending the Exception class.

class CustomException : Exception {
    [string] $additionalData

    CustomException($Message, $additionalData) : base($Message) {
        $this.additionalData = $additionalData
    }
}

try {
    throw [CustomException]::new('Error message', 'Extra data')
} catch [CustomException] {
    # NOTE: To access your custom exception you must use $_.Exception
    Write-Output $_.Exception.additionalData

    # This will produce the error message: Didn't catch it the second time
    throw [CustomException]::new("Didn't catch it the second time", 'Extra data')
}

Can I use jQuery to check whether at least one checkbox is checked?

$('#frmTest').submit(function(){
    if(!$('#frmTest input[type="checkbox"]').is(':checked')){
      alert("Please check at least one.");
      return false;
    }
});

is(':checked') will return true if at least one or more of the checkboxes are checked.

Delete all local git branches

I had a similar kind of situation and recently found the following command useful.

git branch -D `git branch | awk '{ if ($0 !~ /<Branch_You_Want_to_Keep>/) printf "%s", $0 }'`

If you want to keep multiple branches, then

git branch -D `git branch | awk '{ if ($0 !~ /<Branch_You_Want_to_Keep1>|<Branch_You_Want_to_Keep2>/) printf "%s", $0 }'`

hope this helps someone.

Sum across multiple columns with dplyr

dplyr >= 1.0.0 using across

sum up each row using rowSums (rowwise works for any aggreation, but is slower)

df %>%
   replace(is.na(.), 0) %>%
   mutate(sum = rowSums(across(where(is.numeric))))

sum down each column

df %>%
   summarise(across(everything(), ~ sum(., is.na(.), 0)))

dplyr < 1.0.0

sum up each row

df %>%
   replace(is.na(.), 0) %>%
   mutate(sum = rowSums(.[1:5]))

sum down each column using superseeded summarise_all:

df %>%
   replace(is.na(.), 0) %>%
   summarise_all(funs(sum))

Build query string for System.Net.HttpClient get

Good part of accepted answer, modified to use UriBuilder.Uri.ParseQueryString() instead of HttpUtility.ParseQueryString():

var builder = new UriBuilder("http://example.com");
var query = builder.Uri.ParseQueryString();
query["foo"] = "bar<>&-baz";
query["bar"] = "bazinga";
builder.Query = query.ToString();
string url = builder.ToString();

Deserializing JSON array into strongly typed .NET object

This solution seems to work for me and gets around having to code a bunch of classes with "Data" in them.

public interface IDataResponse<T> where T : class
{
    List<T> Data { get; set; }
}

public class DataResponse<T> : IDataResponse<T> where T : class
{
   [JsonProperty("data")]
   public List<T> Data { get; set; }
}

I should have included this to begin with, here is an example method using the above:

public List<TheUser> GetUser()
{
    var results = GetUserJson();
    var userList = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<DataResponse<TheUser>>(results.ToString());

    return userList.Data.ToList();
} 

How to put labels over geom_bar in R with ggplot2

To plot text on a ggplot you use the geom_text. But I find it helpful to summarise the data first using ddply

dfl <- ddply(df, .(x), summarize, y=length(x))
str(dfl)

Since the data is pre-summarized, you need to remember to change add the stat="identity" parameter to geom_bar:

ggplot(dfl, aes(x, y=y, fill=x)) + geom_bar(stat="identity") +
    geom_text(aes(label=y), vjust=0) +
    opts(axis.text.x=theme_blank(),
        axis.ticks=theme_blank(),
        axis.title.x=theme_blank(),
        legend.title=theme_blank(),
        axis.title.y=theme_blank()
)

Scanf/Printf double variable C

For variable argument functions like printf and scanf, the arguments are promoted, for example, any smaller integer types are promoted to int, float is promoted to double.

scanf takes parameters of pointers, so the promotion rule takes no effect. It must use %f for float* and %lf for double*.

printf will never see a float argument, float is always promoted to double. The format specifier is %f. But C99 also says %lf is the same as %f in printf:

C99 §7.19.6.1 The fprintf function

l (ell) Specifies that a following d, i, o, u, x, or X conversion specifier applies to a long int or unsigned long int argument; that a following n conversion specifier applies to a pointer to a long int argument; that a following c conversion specifier applies to a wint_t argument; that a following s conversion specifier applies to a pointer to a wchar_t argument; or has no effect on a following a, A, e, E, f, F, g, or G conversion specifier.

What's the use of "enum" in Java?

Enum serves as a type of fixed number of constants and can be used at least for two things

constant

public enum Month {
    JANUARY, FEBRUARY, ...
}

This is much better than creating a bunch of integer constants.

creating a singleton

public enum Singleton {
    INSTANCE

   // init
};

You can do quite interesting things with enums, look at here

Also look at the official documentation

Is it safe to shallow clone with --depth 1, create commits, and pull updates again?

See some of the answers to my similar question why-cant-i-push-from-a-shallow-clone and the link to the recent thread on the git list.

Ultimately, the 'depth' measurement isn't consistent between repos, because they measure from their individual HEADs, rather than (a) your Head, or (b) the commit(s) you cloned/fetched, or (c) something else you had in mind.

The hard bit is getting one's Use Case right (i.e. self-consistent), so that distributed, and therefore probably divergent repos will still work happily together.

It does look like the checkout --orphan is the right 'set-up' stage, but still lacks clean (i.e. a simple understandable one line command) guidance on the "clone" step. Rather it looks like you have to init a repo, set up a remote tracking branch (you do want the one branch only?), and then fetch that single branch, which feels long winded with more opportunity for mistakes.

Edit: For the 'clone' step see this answer

Change UITextField and UITextView Cursor / Caret Color

Swift 3:

  UITextField.appearance().tintColor = UIColor.black
  UITextView.appearance().tintColor = UIColor.black

how to File.listFiles in alphabetical order?

The listFiles method, with or without a filter does not guarantee any order.

It does, however, return an array, which you can sort with Arrays.sort().

File[] files = XMLDirectory.listFiles(filter_xml_files);
Arrays.sort(files);
for(File _xml_file : files) {
    ...
}

This works because File is a comparable class, which by default sorts pathnames lexicographically. If you want to sort them differently, you can define your own comparator.

If you prefer using Streams:

A more modern approach is the following. To print the names of all files in a given directory, in alphabetical order, do:

Files.list(Paths.get(dirName)).sorted().forEach(System.out::println)

Replace the System.out::println with whatever you want to do with the file names. If you want only filenames that end with "xml" just do:

Files.list(Paths.get(dirName))
    .filter(s -> s.toString().endsWith(".xml"))
    .sorted()
    .forEach(System.out::println)

Again, replace the printing with whichever processing operation you would like.

Scroll to a specific Element Using html

Yes you use this

<a href="#google"></a>

<div id="google"></div>

But this does not create a smooth scroll just so you know.

You can also add in your CSS

html {
  scroll-behavior: smooth;
}

Detecting input change in jQuery?

With HTML5 and without using jQuery, you can using the input event:

var input = document.querySelector('input');

input.addEventListener('input', function()
{
    console.log('input changed to: ', input.value);
});

This will fire each time the input's text changes.

Supported in IE9+ and other browsers.

How to animate RecyclerView items when they appear

You can add a android:layoutAnimation="@anim/rv_item_animation" attribute to RecyclerView like this:

<android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"                                        
    android:layoutAnimation="@anim/layout_animation_fall_down"
    />

how to use LIKE with column name

You're close.

The LIKE operator works with strings (CHAR, NVARCHAR, etc). so you need to concattenate the '%' symbol to the string...


MS SQL Server:

SELECT * FROM table1,table2 WHERE table1.x LIKE table2.y + '%'


Use of LIKE, however, is often slower than other operations. It's useful, powerful, flexible, but has performance considerations. I'll leave those for another topic though :)


EDIT:

I don't use MySQL, but this may work...

SELECT * FROM table1,table2 WHERE table1.x LIKE CONCAT(table2.y, '%')

How to remove elements/nodes from angular.js array

I liked the solution provided by @madhead

However the problem I had is that it wouldn't work for a sorted list so instead of passing the index to the delete function I passed the item and then got the index via indexof

e.g.:

var index = $scope.items.indexOf(item);
$scope.items.splice(index, 1);

An updated version of madheads example is below: link to example

PHP find difference between two datetimes

I collected many topics to make universal function with many outputs (years, months, days, hours, minutes, seconds) with string or parse to int and direction +- if you need to know what side is direction of the difference.

Use example:



    $date1='2016-05-27 02:00:00';
    $format='Y-m-d H:i:s';

    echo timeDifference($date1, $format, '2017-08-30 00:01:59', $format); 
    #1 years 3 months 2 days 22 hours 1 minutes 59 seconds (string)

    echo timeDifference($date1, $format, '2017-08-30 00:01:59', $format,false, '%a days %h hours');
    #459 days 22 hours (string)

    echo timeDifference('2016-05-27 00:00:00', $format, '2017-08-30 00:01:59', $format,true, '%d days -> %H:%I:%S', true);
    #-3 days -> 00:01:59 (string)

    echo timeDifference($date1, $format, '2016-05-27 00:05:51', $format, false, 'seconds');
    #9 (string)

    echo timeDifference($date1, $format, '2016-05-27 07:00:00', $format, false, 'hours');
    #5 (string)

Should I learn C before learning C++?

There is no need to learn C before learning C++.

They are different languages. It is a common misconception that C++ is in some way dependent on C and not a fully specified language on its own.

Just because C++ shares a lot of the same syntax and a lot of the same semantics, does not mean you need to learn C first.

If you learn C++ you will eventually learn most of C with some differences between the languages that you will learn over time. In fact its a very hard thing to write proper C++ because intermediate C++ programmers tend to write C/C++.That is true whether or not you started with C or started with C++.

If you know C first, then that is good plus to learning C++. You will start with knowing a chunk of the language. If you do not know C first then there is no point focusing on a different language. There are plenty of good books and tutorials available that start you from knowing nothing and will cover anything you would learn from C which applies to C++ as well.

Please see further reasoning in this answer.

How to sort List<Integer>?

Just use Collections.sort(yourListHere) here to sort.

You can read more about Collections from here.

What is the difference between concurrency and parallelism?

I will try to explain with a interesting and easy to understand example. :)

Assume that a organization organizes a chess tournament where 10 players (with equal chess playing skills) will challenge a professional champion chess player. And since chess is 1:1 game thus organizers have to conduct 10 games in time efficient manner so that they can finish the whole event as quickly as possible.

Hopefully following scenarios will easily describe multiple ways of conducting these 10 games:

1) SERIAL - lets say that the professional plays with each person one by one i.e. starts and finishes the game with one person and then starts the next game with next person and so on. In other words, they decided to conduct the games sequentially. So if one game takes 10 mins to complete then 10 games will take 100 mins, also assume that transition from one game to other takes 6 secs then for 10 games it will be 54 secs (approx. 1 min).

so the whole event will approximately complete in 101 mins (WORST APPROACH)

2) CONCURRENT - lets say that professional plays his turn and moves on to next player so all 10 players are playing simultaneously but the professional player is not with two person at a time, he plays his turn and moves on to next person. Now assume professional player takes 6 sec to play his turn and also transition time of professional player b/w two players is 6 sec so total transition time to get back to first player will be 1min (10x6sec). Therefore, by the time he is back to first person with, whom event was started, 2mins have passed (10xtime_per_turn_by_champion + 10xtransition_time=2mins)

Assuming that all player take 45sec to complete their turn so based on 10mins per game from SERIAL event the no. of rounds before a game finishes should 600/(45+6) = 11 rounds (approx)

So the whole event will approximately complete in 11xtime_per_turn_by_player_&_champion + 11xtransition_time_across_10_players = 11x51 + 11x60sec= 561 + 660 = 1221sec = 20.35mins (approximately)

SEE THE IMPROVEMENT from 101 mins to 20.35 mins (BETTER APPROACH)

3) PARALLEL - lets say organizers get some extra funds and thus decided to invite two professional champion player (both equally capable) and divided the set of same 10 players (challengers) in two group of 5 each and assigned them to two champion i.e. one group each. Now the event is progressing in parallel in these two sets i.e. at least two players (one in each group) are playing against the two professional players in their respective group.

However within the group the professional player with take one player at a time (i.e. sequentially) so without any calculation you can easily deduce that whole event will approximately complete in 101/2=50.5mins to complete

SEE THE IMPROVEMENT from 101 mins to 50.5 mins (GOOD APPROACH)

4) CONCURRENT + PARALLEL - In above scenario, lets say that the two champion player will play concurrently (read 2nd point) with the 5 players in their respective groups so now games across groups are running in parallel but within group they are running concurrently.

So the games in one group will approximately complete in 11xtime_per_turn_by_player_&_champion + 11xtransition_time_across_5_players = 11x51 + 11x30 = 600 + 330 = 930sec = 15.5mins (approximately)

So the whole event (involving two such parallel running group) will approximately complete in 15.5mins

SEE THE IMPROVEMENT from 101 mins to 15.5 mins (BEST APPROACH)

NOTE: in above scenario if you replace 10 players with 10 similar jobs and two professional player with a two CPU cores then again the following ordering will remain true:

SERIAL > PARALLEL > CONCURRENT > CONCURRENT+PARALLEL

(NOTE: this order might change for other scenarios as this ordering highly depends on inter-dependency of jobs, communication needs b/w jobs and transition overhead b/w jobs)

Ignore duplicates when producing map using streams

For anyone else getting this issue but without duplicate keys in the map being streamed, make sure your keyMapper function isn't returning null values.

It's very annoying to track this down because the error will say "Duplicate key 1" when 1 is actually the value of the entry instead of the key.

In my case, my keyMapper function tried to look up values in a different map, but due to a typo in the strings was returning null values.

final Map<String, String> doop = new HashMap<>();
doop.put("a", "1");
doop.put("b", "2");

final Map<String, String> lookup = new HashMap<>();
doop.put("c", "e");
doop.put("d", "f");

doop.entrySet().stream().collect(Collectors.toMap(e -> lookup.get(e.getKey()), e -> e.getValue()));

Does it matter what extension is used for SQLite database files?

In distributable software, I dont want my customers mucking about in the database by themselves. The program reads and writes it all by itself. The only reason for a user to touch the DB file is to take a backup copy. Therefore I have named it whatever_records.db

The simple .db extension tells the user that it is a binary data file and that's all they have to know. Calling it .sqlite invites the interested user to open it up and mess something up!

Totally depends on your usage scenario I suppose.

rename the columns name after cbind the data

A way of producing a data.frame and being able to do this in one line is to coerce all matrices/data frames passed to cbind into a data.frame while setting the column names attribute using setNames:

a = matrix(rnorm(10), ncol = 2)
b = matrix(runif(10), ncol = 2)

cbind(setNames(data.frame(a), c('n1', 'n2')), 
      setNames(data.frame(b), c('u1', 'u2')))

which produces:

          n1        n2         u1        u2
1 -0.2731750 0.5030773 0.01538194 0.3775269
2  0.5177542 0.6550924 0.04871646 0.4683186
3 -1.1419802 1.0896945 0.57212043 0.9317578
4  0.6965895 1.6973815 0.36124709 0.2882133
5  0.9062591 1.0625280 0.28034347 0.7517128

Unfortunately, there is no setColNames function analogous to setNames for data frames that returns the matrix after the column names, however, there is nothing to stop you from adapting the code of setNames to produce one:

setColNames <- function (object = nm, nm) {
    colnames(object) <- nm
    object
}

See this answer, the magrittr package contains functions for this.

How do I count the number of occurrences of a char in a String?

I don't like the idea of allocating a new string for this purpose. And as the string already has a char array in the back where it stores it's value, String.charAt() is practically free.

for(int i=0;i<s.length();num+=(s.charAt(i++)==delim?1:0))

does the trick, without additional allocations that need collection, in 1 line or less, with only J2SE.

Changing the highlight color when selecting text in an HTML text input

Here is the rub:

    ::selection {
      background: #ffb7b7; /* WebKit/Blink Browsers /
    }
    ::-moz-selection {
      background: #ffb7b7; / Gecko Browsers */
    }
Within the selection selector, color and background are the only properties that work. What you can do for some extra flair, is change the selection color for different paragraphs or different sections of the page.

All I did was use different selection color for paragraphs with different classes:

    p.red::selection {
      background: #ffb7b7;
    }
    p.red::-moz-selection {
      background: #ffb7b7;
    }
    p.blue::selection {
      background: #a8d1ff;
    }
    p.blue::-moz-selection {
      background: #a8d1ff;
    }
    p.yellow::selection {
      background: #fff2a8;
    }
    p.yellow::-moz-selection {
      background: #fff2a8;
    }
Note how the selectors are not combined, even though >the style block is doing the same thing. It doesn't work if you combine them:

<pre>/* Combining like this WILL NOT WORK */
p.yellow::selection,
p.yellow::-moz-selection {
  background: #fff2a8;
}</pre>

That's because browsers ignore the entire selector if there is a part of it they don't understand or is invalid. There is some exceptions to this (IE 7?) but not in relation to these selectors.

Generics/templates in python?

Because Python is dynamically typed, the types of the objects don't matter in many cases. It's a better idea to accept anything.

To demonstrate what I mean, this tree class will accept anything for its two branches:

class BinaryTree:
    def __init__(self, left, right):
        self.left, self.right = left, right

And it could be used like this:

branch1 = BinaryTree(1,2)
myitem = MyClass()
branch2 = BinaryTree(myitem, None)
tree = BinaryTree(branch1, branch2)

    if (segments[i].length < 1) {
        toDelete.push(i);
    }
}
for (var i = 0; i < toDelete.length; i++) {
    segments.splice(i, 1);
}

'this' is undefined in JavaScript class methods

JavaScript's OOP is a little funky (or a lot) and it takes some getting used to. This first thing you need to keep in mind is that there are no Classes and thinking in terms of classes can trip you up. And in order to use a method attached to a Constructor (the JavaScript equivalent of a Class definition) you need to instantiate your object. For example:

Ninja = function (name) {
    this.name = name;
};
aNinja = new Ninja('foxy');
aNinja.name; //-> 'foxy'

enemyNinja = new Ninja('boggis');
enemyNinja.name; //=> 'boggis'

Note that Ninja instances have the same properties but aNinja cannot access the properties of enemyNinja. (This part should be really easy/straightforward) Things get a bit different when you start adding stuff to the prototype:

Ninja.prototype.jump = function () {
   return this.name + ' jumped!';
};
Ninja.prototype.jump(); //-> Error.
aNinja.jump(); //-> 'foxy jumped!'
enemyNinja.jump(); //-> 'boggis jumped!'

Calling this directly will throw an error because this only points to the correct object (your "Class") when the Constructor is instantiated (otherwise it points to the global object, window in a browser)

Excel compare two columns and highlight duplicates

The easiest way to do it, at least for me, is:

Conditional format-> Add new rule->Set your own formula:

=ISNA(MATCH(A2;$B:$B;0))

Where A2 is the first element in column A to be compared and B is the column where A's element will be searched.

Once you have set the formula and picked the format, apply this rule to all elements in the column.

Hope this helps

Marker content (infoWindow) Google Maps

We've solved this, although we didn't think having the addListener outside of the for would make any difference, it seems to. Here's the answer:

Create a new function with your information for the infoWindow in it:

function addInfoWindow(marker, message) {

            var infoWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
                content: message
            });

            google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function () {
                infoWindow.open(map, marker);
            });
        }

Then call the function with the array ID and the marker you want to create:

addInfoWindow(marker, hotels[i][3]);

            null,    //columns to return
            "user_email=?",        //columns for the WHERE clause
            projection,        //The values for the WHERE clause
            null,       //group the rows
            null,       //filter by row groups
            null);
    //  cursor.moveToFirst();

    if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
        do {

            list.add(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("user_id")));
            list.add(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("user_name")));
            list.add(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("user_email")));
            list.add(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("user_password")));
            // cursor.moveToNext();

        } while (cursor.moveToNext());
    }
    return list;
}

Angular.js: How does $eval work and why is it different from vanilla eval?

$eval and $parse don't evaluate JavaScript; they evaluate AngularJS expressions. The linked documentation explains the differences between expressions and JavaScript.

Q: What exactly is $eval doing? Why does it need its own mini parsing language?

From the docs:

Expressions are JavaScript-like code snippets that are usually placed in bindings such as {{ expression }}. Expressions are processed by $parse service.

It's a JavaScript-like mini-language that limits what you can run (e.g. no control flow statements, excepting the ternary operator) as well as adds some AngularJS goodness (e.g. filters).

Q: Why isn't plain old javascript "eval" being used?

Because it's not actually evaluating JavaScript. As the docs say:

If ... you do want to run arbitrary JavaScript code, you should make it a controller method and call the method. If you want to eval() an angular expression from JavaScript, use the $eval() method.

The docs linked to above have a lot more information.

Javascript to Select Multiple options

This type of thing should be done server-side, so as to limit the amount of resources used on the client for such trivial tasks. That being said, if you were to do it on the front-end, I would encourage you to consider using something like underscore.js to keep the code clean and concise:

var values = ["Red", "Green"],
    colors = document.getElementById("colors");

_.each(colors.options, function (option) {
    option.selected = ~_.indexOf(values, option.text);
});

If you're using jQuery, it could be even more terse:

var values = ["Red", "Green"];

$("#colors option").prop("selected", function () {
    return ~$.inArray(this.text, values);
});

If you were to do this without a tool like underscore.js or jQuery, you would have a bit more to write, and may find it to be a bit more complicated:

var color, i, j,
    values = ["Red", "Green"],
    options = document.getElementById("colors").options;

for ( i = 0; i < values.length; i++ ) {
    for ( j = 0, color = values[i]; j < options.length; j++ ) {
        options[j].selected = options[j].selected || color === options[j].text;
    }
}

}

public static Integer getDateInt(Date date) {
    if (isNull(date)) {
        throw new IllegalArgumentException("Date must not be NULL");
    }

    return parseInt(format(date, DATE_FORMAT_INT));
}

Failed to find target with hash string 'android-25'

In SDK manager - SDK Platform it shows me that Android API 28 is partially installed and no further updates available. so that I updated ANDROID-SDK-BUILD-TOOLS from SDK Tools and after restarting project.

Run automatically program on startup under linux ubuntu

sudo mv /filename /etc/init.d/
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/filename 
sudo update-rc.d filename defaults 

Script should now start on boot. Note that this method also works with both hard links and symbolic links (ln).

Edit

At this point in the boot process PATH isn't set yet, so it is critical that absolute paths are used throughout. BUT, as pointed out in the comments by Steve HHH, explicitly declaring the full file path (/etc/init.d/filename) for the update-rc.d command is not valid in most versions of Linux. Per the manpage for update-rc.d, the second parameter is a script located in /etc/init.d/*. Updated above code to reflect this.

Another Edit

Also as pointed out in the comments (by Charles Brandt), /filename must be an init style script. A good template was also provided - https://github.com/fhd/init-script-template.

Another link to another article just to avoid possible link rot (although it would be saddening if GitHub died) - http://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/442412-managing-linux-daemons-with-init-scripts

yetAnother Edit

As pointed out in the comments (by Russell Yan), This works only on default mode of update-rc.d.

According to manual of update-rc.d, it can run on two modes, "the machines using the legacy mode will have a file /etc/init.d/.legacy-bootordering", in which case you have to pass sequence and runlevel configuration through command line arguments.

The equivalent argument set for the above example is

sudo update-rc.d filename start 20 2 3 4 5 . stop 20 0 1 6 .

Does JSON syntax allow duplicate keys in an object?

In C# if you deserialise to a Dictionary<string, string> it takes the last key value pair:

string json = @"{""a"": ""x"", ""a"": ""y""}";
var d = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Dictionary<string, string>>(json);
// { "a" : "y" }

if you try to deserialise to

class Foo
{
    [JsonProperty("a")]
    public string Bar { get; set; }

    [JsonProperty("a")]
    public string Baz { get; set; }
}

var f = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Foo>(json);

you get a Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializationException exception.

Android open camera from button

For me this worked perfectly fine .

 Intent intent=new Intent(MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
 startActivity(intent);

and add this permission to mainfest file:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA">

It opens the camera,after capturing the image it saves the image to gallery with a new image set.

How to print a dictionary line by line in Python?

I prefer the clean formatting of yaml:

import yaml
print(yaml.dump(cars))

output:

A:
  color: 2
  speed: 70
B:
  color: 3
  speed: 60

File Upload with Angular Material

For Angular 6+:

HTML:

<input #csvInput hidden="true" type="file" onclick="this.value=null" (change)="csvInputChange($event)" accept=".csv"/>
<button mat-flat-button color="primary" (click)="csvInput.click()">Choose Spreadsheet File (CSV)</button>

Component method:

  csvInputChange(fileInputEvent: any) {
    console.log(fileInputEvent.target.files[0]);
  }

Note: This filters to just allow .csv files.

How do I convert NSMutableArray to NSArray?

i was search for the answer in swift 3 and this question was showed as first result in search and i get inspired the answer from it so here is the swift 3 code

let array: [String] = nsMutableArrayObject.copy() as! [String]

Singleton in Android

As @Lazy stated in this answer, you can create a singleton from a template in Android Studio. It is worth noting that there is no need to check if the instance is null because the static ourInstance variable is initialized first. As a result, the singleton class implementation created by Android Studio is as simple as following code:

public class MySingleton {
    private static MySingleton ourInstance = new MySingleton();

    public static MySingleton getInstance() {
        return ourInstance;
    }

    private MySingleton() {
    }
}

Nested rows with bootstrap grid system?

Bootstrap Version 3.x

As always, read Bootstrap's great documentation:

3.x Docs: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/3.3/css/#grid-nesting

Make sure the parent level row is inside of a .container element. Whenever you'd like to nest rows, just open up a new .row inside of your column.

Here's a simple layout to work from:

<div class="container">
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-xs-6">
            <div class="big-box">image</div>
        </div>
        <div class="col-xs-6">
            <div class="row">
                <div class="col-xs-6"><div class="mini-box">1</div></div>
                <div class="col-xs-6"><div class="mini-box">2</div></div>
                <div class="col-xs-6"><div class="mini-box">3</div></div>
                <div class="col-xs-6"><div class="mini-box">4</div></div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Bootstrap Version 4.0

4.0 Docs: http://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/layout/grid/#nesting

Here's an updated version for 4.0, but you should really read the entire docs section on the grid so you understand how to leverage this powerful feature

<div class="container">
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col big-box">
      image
    </div>

    <div class="col">
      <div class="row">
        <div class="col mini-box">1</div>
        <div class="col mini-box">2</div>
      </div>
      <div class="row">
        <div class="col mini-box">3</div>
        <div class="col mini-box">4</div>
      </div>
    </div>

  </div>

Loop through all nested dictionary values?

I am using the following code to print all the values of a nested dictionary, taking into account where the value could be a list containing dictionaries. This was useful to me when parsing a JSON file into a dictionary and needing to quickly check whether any of its values are None.

    d = {
            "user": 10,
            "time": "2017-03-15T14:02:49.301000",
            "metadata": [
                {"foo": "bar"},
                "some_string"
            ]
        }


    def print_nested(d):
        if isinstance(d, dict):
            for k, v in d.items():
                print_nested(v)
        elif hasattr(d, '__iter__') and not isinstance(d, str):
            for item in d:
                print_nested(item)
        elif isinstance(d, str):
            print(d)

        else:
            print(d)

    print_nested(d)

Output:

    10
    2017-03-15T14:02:49.301000
    bar

How to activate a specific worksheet in Excel?

I would recommend you to use worksheet's index instead of using worksheet's name, in this way you can also loop through sheets "dynamically"

for i=1 to thisworkbook.sheets.count
 sheets(i).activate
'You can add more code 
with activesheet
 'Code...
end with
next i

It will also, improve performance.

Convert form data to JavaScript object with jQuery

I recently had the same problem so I developed a function that allows parsing a form's controls to obtain control id/value and convert that to JSON.

It is flexible enough to allow adding more controls. You just need to specify the control type and the attribute that you want to interpreted as value.

You can find the full script here.

The advantage is that it only takes the data you actually need, without dragging the whole object.

The dissadvantage is that if you have nested options, you need to prefix the IDs accordingly so you can use a duplicate option to its specific group.

I hope this helps!

Grab a segment of an array in Java without creating a new array on heap

If you're seeking a pointer style aliasing approach, so that you don't even need to allocate space and copy the data then I believe you're out of luck.

System.arraycopy() will copy from your source to destination, and efficiency is claimed for this utility. You do need to allocate the destination array.

Configuring Hibernate logging using Log4j XML config file?

The answers were useful. After the change, I got duplicate logging of SQL statements, one in the log4j log file and one on the standard console. I changed the persistence.xml file to say show_sql to false to get rid of logging from the standard console. Keeping format_sql true also affects the log4j log file, so I kept that true.

Predict() - Maybe I'm not understanding it

First, you want to use

model <- lm(Total ~ Coupon, data=df)

not model <-lm(df$Total ~ df$Coupon, data=df).

Second, by saying lm(Total ~ Coupon), you are fitting a model that uses Total as the response variable, with Coupon as the predictor. That is, your model is of the form Total = a + b*Coupon, with a and b the coefficients to be estimated. Note that the response goes on the left side of the ~, and the predictor(s) on the right.

Because of this, when you ask R to give you predicted values for the model, you have to provide a set of new predictor values, ie new values of Coupon, not Total.

Third, judging by your specification of newdata, it looks like you're actually after a model to fit Coupon as a function of Total, not the other way around. To do this:

model <- lm(Coupon ~ Total, data=df)
new.df <- data.frame(Total=c(79037022, 83100656, 104299800))
predict(model, new.df)

Bootstrap 3 Carousel fading to new slide instead of sliding to new slide

  -o-transition-property: opacity;
  transition-property: opacity;

  z-index: 1;
}

How do I Geocode 20 addresses without receiving an OVER_QUERY_LIMIT response?

You actually do not have to wait a full second for each request. I found that if I wait 200 miliseconds between each request I am able to avoid the OVER_QUERY_LIMIT response and the user experience is passable. With this solution you can load 20 items in 4 seconds.

$(items).each(function(i, item){

  setTimeout(function(){

    geoLocate("my address", function(myLatlng){
      ...
    });

  }, 200 * i);

}

How to add class active on specific li on user click with jQuery

You specified both jQuery and Javascript in the tags so here's both approaches.

jQuery

var selector = '.nav li';

$(selector).on('click', function(){
    $(selector).removeClass('active');
    $(this).addClass('active');
});

Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/bvf9u/


Pure Javascript:

var selector, elems, makeActive;

selector = '.nav li';

elems = document.querySelectorAll(selector);

makeActive = function () {
    for (var i = 0; i < elems.length; i++)
        elems[i].classList.remove('active');

    this.classList.add('active');
};

for (var i = 0; i < elems.length; i++)
    elems[i].addEventListener('mousedown', makeActive);

Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/rn3nc/1


jQuery with event delegation:

Please note that in approach 1, the handler is directly bound to that element. If you're expecting the DOM to update and new lis to be injected, it's better to use event delegation and delegate to the next element that will remain static, in this case the .nav:

$('.nav').on('click', 'li', function(){
    $('.nav li').removeClass('active');
    $(this).addClass('active');
});

Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/bvf9u/1/

The subtle difference is that the handler is bound to the .nav now, so when you click the li the event bubbles up the DOM to the .nav which invokes the handler if the element clicked matches your selector argument. This means new elements won't need a new handler bound to them, because it's already bound to an ancestor.

It's really quite interesting. Read more about it here: http://api.jquery.com/on/

"PKIX path building failed" and "unable to find valid certification path to requested target"

I was using my own trust store rather than JRE one by passing arg -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=

I was getting this error regardless of certs in truststore. The issue for me was the ordering of of the properties passed on arg line. When i put -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=& -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword= before -Dspring.config.location= & -jar args i was able to successfully invoke my rest call over https.

<ng-container> vs <template>

Edit : Now it is documented

<ng-container> to the rescue

The Angular <ng-container> is a grouping element that doesn't interfere with styles or layout because Angular doesn't put it in the DOM.

(...)

The <ng-container> is a syntax element recognized by the Angular parser. It's not a directive, component, class, or interface. It's more like the curly braces in a JavaScript if-block:

  if (someCondition) {
      statement1; 
      statement2;
      statement3;
     }

Without those braces, JavaScript would only execute the first statement when you intend to conditionally execute all of them as a single block. The <ng-container> satisfies a similar need in Angular templates.

Original answer:

According to this pull request :

<ng-container> is a logical container that can be used to group nodes but is not rendered in the DOM tree as a node.

<ng-container> is rendered as an HTML comment.

so this angular template :

<div>
    <ng-container>foo</ng-container>
<div>

will produce this kind of output :

<div>
    <!--template bindings={}-->foo
<div>

So ng-container is useful when you want to conditionaly append a group of elements (ie using *ngIf="foo") in your application but don't want to wrap them with another element.

<div>
    <ng-container *ngIf="true">
        <h2>Title</h2>
        <div>Content</div>
    </ng-container>
</div>

will then produce :

<div>
    <h2>Title</h2>
    <div>Content</div>
</div>

Can we use JSch for SSH key-based communication?

It is possible. Have a look at JSch.addIdentity(...)

This allows you to use key either as byte array or to read it from file.

import com.jcraft.jsch.Channel;
import com.jcraft.jsch.ChannelSftp;
import com.jcraft.jsch.JSch;

            int port = 10022;
            String privateKey = ".ssh/id_rsa";

            jsch.addIdentity(privateKey);
            System.out.println("identity added ");

            Session session = jsch.getSession(user, host, port);

Loop Through All Subfolders Using VBA

And to complement Rich's recursive answer, a non-recursive method.

Public Sub NonRecursiveMethod()
    Dim fso, oFolder, oSubfolder, oFile, queue As Collection

    Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set queue = New Collection
    queue.Add fso.GetFolder("your folder path variable") 'obviously replace

    Do While queue.Count > 0
        Set oFolder = queue(1)
        queue.Remove 1 'dequeue
        '...insert any folder processing code here...
        For Each oSubfolder In oFolder.SubFolders
            queue.Add oSubfolder 'enqueue
        Next oSubfolder
        For Each oFile In oFolder.Files
            '...insert any file processing code here...
        Next oFile
    Loop

End Sub

You can use a queue for FIFO behaviour (shown above), or you can use a stack for LIFO behaviour which would process in the same order as a recursive approach (replace Set oFolder = queue(1) with Set oFolder = queue(queue.Count) and replace queue.Remove(1) with queue.Remove(queue.Count), and probably rename the variable...)

Run ssh and immediately execute command

ssh -t 'command; bash -l'

will execute the command and then start up a login shell when it completes. For example:

ssh -t [email protected] 'cd /some/path; bash -l'

Generating random integer from a range

int RandU(int nMin, int nMax)
{
    return nMin + (int)((double)rand() / (RAND_MAX+1) * (nMax-nMin+1));
}

This is a mapping of 32768 integers to (nMax-nMin+1) integers. The mapping will be quite good if (nMax-nMin+1) is small (as in your requirement). Note however that if (nMax-nMin+1) is large, the mapping won't work (For example - you can't map 32768 values to 30000 values with equal probability). If such ranges are needed - you should use a 32-bit or 64-bit random source, instead of the 15-bit rand(), or ignore rand() results which are out-of-range.

What is declarative programming?

I'd explain it as DP is a way to express

  • A goal expression, the conditions for - what we are searching for. Is there one, maybe or many?
  • Some known facts
  • Rules that extend the know facts

...and where there is a deduct engine usually working with a unification algorithm to find the goals.

XMLHttpRequest cannot load XXX No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header

As this isn't mentioned in the accepted answer.

  • This is not the case for this exact question, but might help others that search for that problem
  • This is something you can do in your client-code to prevent CORS errors in some cases.

You can make use of Simple Requests.
In order to perform a 'Simple Requests' the request needs to meet several conditions. E.g. only allowing POST, GET and HEAD method, as well as only allowing some given Headers (you can find all conditions here).

If your client code does not explicit set affected Headers (e.g. "Accept") with a fix value in the request it might occur that some clients do set these Headers automatically with some "non-standard" values causing the server to not accept it as Simple Request - which will give you a CORS error.

How to set background color of HTML element using css properties in JavaScript

You can use:

phpMyAdmin says no privilege to create database, despite logged in as root user

login in the terminal as a root and execute this command:

mysql_secure_installation

Type n in order to not change root password and hit enter, then type y to remove anonymous users and hit enter. Type n if you want to disallow root login remotely and hit enter. Now type y to remove test tables and databases and hit enter, then type y again and hit enter.

and you are good to go :)

positional argument follows keyword argument

The grammar of the language specifies that positional arguments appear before keyword or starred arguments in calls:

argument_list        ::=  positional_arguments ["," starred_and_keywords]
                            ["," keywords_arguments]
                          | starred_and_keywords ["," keywords_arguments]
                          | keywords_arguments

Specifically, a keyword argument looks like this: tag='insider trading!' while a positional argument looks like this: ..., exchange, .... The problem lies in that you appear to have copy/pasted the parameter list, and left some of the default values in place, which makes them look like keyword arguments rather than positional ones. This is fine, except that you then go back to using positional arguments, which is a syntax error.

Also, when an argument has a default value, such as price=None, that means you don't have to provide it. If you don't provide it, it will use the default value instead.

To resolve this error, convert your later positional arguments into keyword arguments, or, if they have default values and you don't need to use them, simply don't specify them at all:

order_id = kite.order_place(self, exchange, tradingsymbol,
    transaction_type, quantity)

# Fully positional:
order_id = kite.order_place(self, exchange, tradingsymbol, transaction_type, quantity, price, product, order_type, validity, disclosed_quantity, trigger_price, squareoff_value, stoploss_value, trailing_stoploss, variety, tag)

# Some positional, some keyword (all keywords at end):

order_id = kite.order_place(self, exchange, tradingsymbol,
    transaction_type, quantity, tag='insider trading!')

Is there a Max function in SQL Server that takes two values like Math.Max in .NET?

If you're using SQL Server 2008 (or above), then this is the better solution:

SELECT o.OrderId,
       (SELECT MAX(Price)
        FROM (VALUES (o.NegotiatedPrice),(o.SuggestedPrice)) AS AllPrices(Price))
FROM Order o

All credit and votes should go to Sven's answer to a related question, "SQL MAX of multiple columns?"
I say it's the "best answer" because:

  1. It doesn't require complicating your code with UNION's, PIVOT's, UNPIVOT's, UDF's, and crazy-long CASE statments.
  2. It isn't plagued with the problem of handling nulls, it handles them just fine.
  3. It's easy to swap out the "MAX" with "MIN", "AVG", or "SUM". You can use any aggregate function to find the aggregate over many different columns.
  4. You're not limited to the names I used (i.e. "AllPrices" and "Price"). You can pick your own names to make it easier to read and understand for the next guy.
  5. You can find multiple aggregates using SQL Server 2008's derived_tables like so:
    SELECT MAX(a), MAX(b) FROM (VALUES (1, 2), (3, 4), (5, 6), (7, 8), (9, 10) ) AS MyTable(a, b)

autocomplete ='off' is not working when the input type is password and make the input field above it to enable autocomplete

A different approach is to clean the value of the password field on page load instead of trying to prevent it from auto-filling.

With jQuery simply add something like:

$(function() { $('input[type="password"]').val(''); });

Kill some processes by .exe file name

You can Kill a specific instance of MS Word.

foreach (var process in Process.GetProcessesByName("WINWORD"))
{
    // Temp is a document which you need to kill.
    if (process.MainWindowTitle.Contains("Temp")) 
        process.Kill();
}

Questions every good .NET developer should be able to answer?

I suggest enquiring about blogs that they read on a regular basis and personal programming projects that they have worked on as this will show a willingness to learn and a passion for programming.
