Programs & Examples On #Effect

This tag is deprecated. Use a tag with the specific effect instead (e.g. spiral-effect).

Fade Effect on Link Hover?

Try this in your css:

.a {
    transition: color 0.3s ease-in-out;
}
.a {
    color:turquoise;
}
.a:hover {
    color: #454545;
}

Need to remove href values when printing in Chrome

For normal users. Open the inspect window of current page. And type in:

l = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
for (var i =0; i<l.length; i++) {
    l[i].href = "";
}

Then you shall not see the url links in print preview.

Where does PHP store the error log? (php5, apache, fastcgi, cpanel)

  1. you can go in File Manager check logs folder.
  2. check Log file in public_html folder.
  3. check "php phpinfo()" file where log store.

Rails create or update magic?

Add this to your model:

def self.update_or_create_by(args, attributes)
  obj = self.find_or_create_by(args)
  obj.update(attributes)
  return obj
end

With that, you can:

User.update_or_create_by({name: 'Joe'}, attributes)

Git: Cannot see new remote branch

What ended up finally working for me was to add the remote repository name to the git fetch command, like this:

git fetch core

Now you can see all of them like this:

git branch --all

How to force composer to reinstall a library?

You can use the --prefer-source flag for composer to checkout external packages with the VCS information (if any available). You can simply revert to the original state. Also if you issue the composer update command composer will detect any changes you made locally and ask if you want to discard them.

Your .gitignore file is related to your root project (ZF2 skeleton) and it prevents the vendor dir (where your third party libs are) from committing to your own VCS. The ignore file is unrelated to the git repo's of your vendors.

How do I print the full value of a long string in gdb?

set print elements 0

From the GDB manual:

set print elements number-of-elements
Set a limit on how many elements of an array GDB will print. If GDB is printing a large array, it stops printing after it has printed the number of elements set by the set print elements command. This limit also applies to the display of strings. When GDB starts, this limit is set to 200. Setting number-of-elements to zero means that the printing is unlimited.

No serializer found for class org.hibernate.proxy.pojo.javassist.Javassist?

I think that the problem is the way that you retrieve the entity.

Maybe you are doing something like this:

Person p = (Person) session.load(Person.class, new Integer(id));

Try using the method get instead of load

Person p = (Person) session.get(Person.class, new Integer(id));

The problem is that with load method you get just a proxy but not the real object. The proxy object doesn't have the properties already loaded so when the serialization happens there are no properties to be serialized. With the get method you actually get the real object, this object could in fact be serialized.

Extract images from PDF without resampling, in python?

After some searching I found the following script which works really well with my PDF's. It does only tackle JPG, but it worked perfectly with my unprotected files. Also is does not require any outside libraries.

Not to take any credit, the script originates from Ned Batchelder, and not me. Python3 code: extract jpg's from pdf's. Quick and dirty

import sys

with open(sys.argv[1],"rb") as file:
    file.seek(0)
    pdf = file.read()

startmark = b"\xff\xd8"
startfix = 0
endmark = b"\xff\xd9"
endfix = 2
i = 0

njpg = 0
while True:
    istream = pdf.find(b"stream", i)
    if istream < 0:
        break
    istart = pdf.find(startmark, istream, istream + 20)
    if istart < 0:
        i = istream + 20
        continue
    iend = pdf.find(b"endstream", istart)
    if iend < 0:
        raise Exception("Didn't find end of stream!")
    iend = pdf.find(endmark, iend - 20)
    if iend < 0:
        raise Exception("Didn't find end of JPG!")

    istart += startfix
    iend += endfix
    print("JPG %d from %d to %d" % (njpg, istart, iend))
    jpg = pdf[istart:iend]
    with open("jpg%d.jpg" % njpg, "wb") as jpgfile:
        jpgfile.write(jpg)

    njpg += 1
    i = iend

Getting the text that follows after the regex match

if Matcher is initialized with str, after the match, you can get the part after the match with

str.substring(matcher.end())

Sample Code:

final String str = "Some lame sentence that is awesome";
final Matcher matcher = Pattern.compile("sentence").matcher(str);
if(matcher.find()){
    System.out.println(str.substring(matcher.end()).trim());
}

Output:

that is awesome

Table overflowing outside of div

I tried all the solutions mentioned above, then did not work. I have 3 tables one below the other. The last one over flowed. I fixed it using:

/* Grid Definition */
table {
    word-break: break-word;
}

For IE11 in edge mode, you need to set this to word-break:break-all

Spring: return @ResponseBody "ResponseEntity<List<JSONObject>>"

Now I return Object. I don't know better solution, but it works.

@RequestMapping(value="", method=RequestMethod.GET, produces=MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)
public @ResponseBody ResponseEntity<Object> getAll() {
    List<Entity> entityList = entityManager.findAll();

    List<JSONObject> entities = new ArrayList<JSONObject>();
    for (Entity n : entityList) {
        JSONObject Entity = new JSONObject();
        entity.put("id", n.getId());
        entity.put("address", n.getAddress());
        entities.add(entity);
    }
    return new ResponseEntity<Object>(entities, HttpStatus.OK);
}

How to create an Explorer-like folder browser control?

Microsoft provides a walkthrough for creating a Windows Explorer style interface in C#.

There are also several examples on Code Project and other sites. Immediate examples are Explorer Tree, My Explorer, File Browser and Advanced File Explorer but there are others. Explorer Tree seems to look the best from the brief glance I took.

I used the search term windows explorer tree view C# in Google to find these links.

Inline for loop

your list comphresnion will, work but will return list of None because append return None:

demo:

>>> a=[]
>>> [ a.append(x) for x in range(10) ]
[None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None]
>>> a
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

better way to use it like this:

>>> a= [ x for x in range(10) ]
>>> a
[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

Password Protect a SQLite DB. Is it possible?

Why do you need to encrypt the database? The user could easily disassemble your program and figure out the key. If you're encrypting it for network transfer, then consider using PGP instead of squeezing an encryption layer into a database layer.

XAMPP permissions on Mac OS X?

Tried the above but the option to amend the permission was not available for the htdocs folder,

My solution was:

  1. Open applications folder
  2. Locate XAMPP folder
  3. Right click, get info (as described above)
  4. In pop-up window locate the 'sharing & permission' section
  5. Click the 'locked' padlock symbol
  6. Enter admin password
  7. Change 'Everyone' permissions to read & write
  8. In the get info window still, select the 'cog' icon' drop down option at the very bottom and select 'Apply to enclosed items' this will adjust the permission across all sub-folders as well.
  9. Re-lock the padlock symbol
  10. Close the 'Get Info' window.

Task complete, this will now allow you to populate sub-folders within the htdocs folder as needed to populate your website(s).

Writing an Excel file in EPPlus

It's best if you worked with DataSets and/or DataTables. Once you have that, ideally straight from your stored procedure with proper column names for headers, you can use the following method:

ws.Cells.LoadFromDataTable(<DATATABLE HERE>, true, OfficeOpenXml.Table.TableStyles.Light8);

.. which will produce a beautiful excelsheet with a nice table!

Now to serve your file, assuming you have an ExcelPackage object as in your code above called pck..

Response.Clear();

Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet";
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=" + sFilename);

Response.BinaryWrite(pck.GetAsByteArray());
Response.End();

laravel throwing MethodNotAllowedHttpException

My problem was not that my routes were set up incorrectly, but that I was referencing the wrong Form method (which I had copied from a different form). I was doing...

{!! Form::model([ ... ]) !!}

(with no model specified). But I should have been using the regular open method...

{!! Form::open([ ... ]) !!}

Because the first parameter to model expect an actual model, it was not getting any of my options I was specifying. Hope this helps someone who knows their routes are correct, but something else is amiss.

How can I convert a string to a float in mysql?

This will convert to a numeric value without the need to cast or specify length or digits:

STRING_COL+0.0

If your column is an INT, can leave off the .0 to avoid decimals:

STRING_COL+0

Get the string within brackets in Python

How about:

import re

s = "alpha.Customer[cus_Y4o9qMEZAugtnW] ..."
m = re.search(r"\[([A-Za-z0-9_]+)\]", s)
print m.group(1)

For me this prints:

cus_Y4o9qMEZAugtnW

Note that the call to re.search(...) finds the first match to the regular expression, so it doesn't find the [card] unless you repeat the search a second time.

Edit: The regular expression here is a python raw string literal, which basically means the backslashes are not treated as special characters and are passed through to the re.search() method unchanged. The parts of the regular expression are:

  1. \[ matches a literal [ character
  2. ( begins a new group
  3. [A-Za-z0-9_] is a character set matching any letter (capital or lower case), digit or underscore
  4. + matches the preceding element (the character set) one or more times.
  5. ) ends the group
  6. \] matches a literal ] character

Edit: As D K has pointed out, the regular expression could be simplified to:

m = re.search(r"\[(\w+)\]", s)

since the \w is a special sequence which means the same thing as [a-zA-Z0-9_] depending on the re.LOCALE and re.UNICODE settings.

move a virtual machine from one vCenter to another vCenter

A much simpler way to do this is to use vCenter Converter Standalone Client and do a P2V but in this case a V2V. It is much faster than copying the entire VM files onto some storage somewhere and copy it onto your new vCenter. It takes a long time to copy or exporting it to an OVF template and then import it. You can set your vCenter Converter Standalone Client to V2V in one step and synchronize and then have it power up the VM on the new Vcenter and shut off on the old vCenter. Simple.

For me using this method I was able to move a VM from one vCenter to another vCenter in about 30 minutes as compared to copying or exporting which took over 2hrs. Your results may vary.


This process below, from another responder, would work even better if you can present that datastore to ESXi servers on the vCenter and then follow step 2. Eliminating having to copy all the VMs then follow rest of the process.

  1. Copy all of the cloned VM's files from its directory, and place it on its destination datastore.
  2. In the VI client connected to the destination vCenter, go to the Inventory->Datastores view.
  3. Open the datastore browser for the datastore where you placed the VM's files.
  4. Find the .vmx file that you copied over and right-click it.
  5. Choose 'Register Virtual Machine', and follow whatever prompts ensue. (Depending on your version of vCenter, this may be 'Add to Inventory' or some other variant)

MySQL date formats - difficulty Inserting a date

Looks like you've not encapsulated your string properly. Try this:

INSERT INTO custorder VALUES ('Kevin','yes'), STR_TO_DATE('1-01-2012', '%d-%m-%Y');

Alternatively, you can do the following but it is not recommended. Make sure that you use STR_TO-DATE it is because when you are developing web applications you have to explicitly convert String to Date which is annoying. Use first One.

INSERT INTO custorder VALUES ('Kevin','yes'), '2012-01-01';

I'm not confident that the above SQL is valid, however, and you may want to move the date part into the brackets. If you can provide the exact error you're getting, I might be able to more directly help with the issue.

Http post and get request in angular 6

You can do a post/get using a library which allows you to use HttpClient with strongly-typed callbacks.

The data and the error are available directly via these callbacks.

The library is called angular-extended-http-client.

angular-extended-http-client library on GitHub

angular-extended-http-client library on NPM

Very easy to use.

Traditional approach

In the traditional approach you return Observable<HttpResponse<T>> from Service API. This is tied to HttpResponse.

With this approach you have to use .subscribe(x => ...) in the rest of your code.

This creates a tight coupling between the http layer and the rest of your code.

Strongly-typed callback approach

You only deal with your Models in these strongly-typed callbacks.

Hence, The rest of your code only knows about your Models.

Sample usage

The strongly-typed callbacks are

Success:

  • IObservable<T>
  • IObservableHttpResponse
  • IObservableHttpCustomResponse<T>

Failure:

  • IObservableError<TError>
  • IObservableHttpError
  • IObservableHttpCustomError<TError>

Add package to your project and in your app module

import { HttpClientExtModule } from 'angular-extended-http-client';

and in the @NgModule imports

  imports: [
    .
    .
    .
    HttpClientExtModule
  ],

Your Models


export class SearchModel {
    code: string;
}

//Normal response returned by the API.
export class RacingResponse {
    result: RacingItem[];
}

//Custom exception thrown by the API.
export class APIException {
    className: string;
}

Your Service

In your Service, you just create params with these callback types.

Then, pass them on to the HttpClientExt's get method.

import { Injectable, Inject } from '@angular/core'
import { SearchModel, RacingResponse, APIException } from '../models/models'
import { HttpClientExt, IObservable, IObservableError, ResponseType, ErrorType } from 'angular-extended-http-client';
.
.

@Injectable()
export class RacingService {

    //Inject HttpClientExt component.
    constructor(private client: HttpClientExt, @Inject(APP_CONFIG) private config: AppConfig) {

    }

    //Declare params of type IObservable<T> and IObservableError<TError>.
    //These are the success and failure callbacks.
    //The success callback will return the response objects returned by the underlying HttpClient call.
    //The failure callback will return the error objects returned by the underlying HttpClient call.
    searchRaceInfo(model: SearchModel, success: IObservable<RacingResponse>, failure?: IObservableError<APIException>) {
        let url = this.config.apiEndpoint;

        this.client.post<SearchModel, RacingResponse>(url, model, 
                                                      ResponseType.IObservable, success, 
                                                      ErrorType.IObservableError, failure);
    }
}

Your Component

In your Component, your Service is injected and the searchRaceInfo API called as shown below.

  search() {    


    this.service.searchRaceInfo(this.searchModel, response => this.result = response.result,
                                                  error => this.errorMsg = error.className);

  }

Both, response and error returned in the callbacks are strongly typed. Eg. response is type RacingResponse and error is APIException.

Redis: How to access Redis log file

You can also login to the redis-cli and use the MONITOR command to see what queries are happening against Redis.

Python spacing and aligning strings

@IronMensan's format method answer is the way to go. But in the interest of answering your question about ljust:

>>> def printit():
...     print 'Location: 10-10-10-10'.ljust(40) + 'Revision: 1'
...     print 'District: Tower'.ljust(40) + 'Date: May 16, 2012'
...     print 'User: LOD'.ljust(40) + 'Time: 10:15'
...
>>> printit()
Location: 10-10-10-10                   Revision: 1
District: Tower                         Date: May 16, 2012
User: LOD                               Time: 10:15

Edit to note this method doesn't require you to know how long your strings are. .format() may also, but I'm not familiar enough with it to say.

>>> uname='LOD'
>>> 'User: {}'.format(uname).ljust(40) + 'Time: 10:15'
'User: LOD                               Time: 10:15'
>>> uname='Tiddlywinks'
>>> 'User: {}'.format(uname).ljust(40) + 'Time: 10:15'
'User: Tiddlywinks                       Time: 10:15'

Oracle SQL Where clause to find date records older than 30 days

Use:

SELECT *
  FROM YOUR_TABLE
 WHERE creation_date <= TRUNC(SYSDATE) - 30

SYSDATE returns the date & time; TRUNC resets the date to being as of midnight so you can omit it if you want the creation_date that is 30 days previous including the current time.

Depending on your needs, you could also look at using ADD_MONTHS:

SELECT *
  FROM YOUR_TABLE
 WHERE creation_date <= ADD_MONTHS(TRUNC(SYSDATE), -1)

Maven project version inheritance - do I have to specify the parent version?

As Yanflea mentioned, there is a way to go around this.

In Maven 3.5.0 you can use the following way of transferring the version down from the parent project:

Parent POM.xml

<project ...>
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <groupId>com.mydomain</groupId>
    <artifactId>myprojectparent</artifactId>
    <packaging>pom</packaging>
    <version>${myversion}</version>
    <name>MyProjectParent</name>

    <properties>
        <myversion>0.1-SNAPSHOT</myversion>
    </properties>

    <modules>
        <module>modulefolder</module>
    </modules>
    ...
</project>

Module POM.xml

<project ...>
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

    <parent>
        <groupId>com.mydomain</groupId>
        <artifactId>myprojectmodule</artifactId>
        <version>${myversion}</version> <!-- This still needs to be set, but you can use properties from parent -->
    </parent>

    <groupId>se.car_o_liner</groupId>
    <artifactId>vinno</artifactId>
    <packaging>war</packaging>
    <name>Vinno</name>
    <!-- Note that there's no version specified; it's inherited from parent -->
    ...
</project>

You are free to change myversion to whatever you want that isn't a reserved property.

Tri-state Check box in HTML?

Building on the answers above using the indeterminate state, I've come up with a little bit that handles individual checkboxes and makes them tri-state.

MVC razor uses 2 inputs per checkbox anyway (the checkbox and a hidden with the same name to always force a value in the submit). MVC uses things like "true" as the checkbox value and "false" as the hidden of the same name; makes it amenable to boolean use in api calls. This snippet uses an third hidden to persist the last request values across submits.

Checkboxes initialized with the below will start indeterminate. Checking once turns on the checkbox. Checking twice turns off the checkbox (returning the hidden value of the same name). Checking a third time returns it to indeterminate (and clears out the hidden so a submit will produce a blank).

The page also populates another hidden (e.g. triBox2Orig) with whatever value was on the query string to start, so the 3 states can be initialized and persisted between submits.

$(document).ready(function () {
    var initCheckbox = function (chkBox)
    {
        var hidden = $('[name="' + $(chkBox).prop("name") + '"][type="hidden"]');
        var hiddenOrig = $('[name="' + $(chkBox).prop("name") + 'Orig"][type="hidden"]').prop("value");
        hidden.prop("origValue", hidden.prop("value"));
        if (!chkBox.prop("checked") && !hiddenOrig) chkBox.prop("indeterminate", true);
        if (chkBox.prop("indeterminate")) hidden.prop("value", null);
        chkBox.change(checkBoxToggleFun);
    }

    var checkBoxToggleFun = function ()
    {
        var isChecked = $(this).prop('checked');
        var hidden = $('[name="' + $(this).prop("name") + '"][type="hidden"]');
        var thirdState = isChecked && hidden.prop("value") === hidden.prop("origValue");
        if (thirdState) {   // on 3rd click of a checkbox, set it back to indeterminate
            $(this).prop("indeterminate", true);
            $(this).prop('checked', false);
        }
        hidden.prop("value", thirdState ? null : hidden.prop("origValue"));
    };

    var chkBox = $('#triBox1');
    initCheckbox(chkBox);

    chkBox = $('#triBox2');
    initCheckbox(chkBox);
});

Using gradle to find dependency tree

I also found useful to run this:

./gradlew dI --dependency <your library>

This shows how are being dependencies resolved (dependencyInsight) and help you debugging into where do you need to force or exclude libraries in your build.gradle

See: https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/tutorial_gradle_command_line.html

How to automatically crop and center an image

Example with img tag but without background-image

This solution retains the img tag so that we do not lose the ability to drag or right-click to save the image but without background-image just center and crop with css.

Maintain the aspect ratio fine except in very hight images. (check the link)

(view in action)

Markup

<div class="center-cropped">
    <img src="http://placehold.it/200x150" alt="" />
</div>

? CSS

div.center-cropped {
  width: 100px;
  height: 100px;
  overflow:hidden;
}
div.center-cropped img {
  height: 100%;
  min-width: 100%;
  left: 50%;
  position: relative;
  transform: translateX(-50%);
}

How to select top n rows from a datatable/dataview in ASP.NET

Data view is good Feature of data table . We can filter the data table as per our requirements using data view . Below Functions is After binding data table to list box data source then filter by text box control . ( this condition you can change as per your needs .Contains(txtSearch.Text.Trim()) )

Private Sub BindClients()

   okcl = 0

    sql = "Select * from Client Order By cname"        
    Dim dacli As New SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter
    Dim cmd As New SqlClient.SqlCommand()
    cmd.CommandText = sql
    cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text
    dacli.SelectCommand = cmd
    dacli.SelectCommand.Connection = Me.sqlcn
    Dim dtcli As New DataTable
    dacli.Fill(dtcli)
    dacli.Fill(dataTableClients)
    lstboxc.DataSource = dataTableClients
    lstboxc.DisplayMember = "cname"
    lstboxc.ValueMember = "ccode"
    okcl = 1

    If dtcli.Rows.Count > 0 Then
        ccode = dtcli.Rows(0)("ccode")
        Call ClientDispData1()
    End If
End Sub

Private Sub FilterClients()        

    Dim query As EnumerableRowCollection(Of DataRow) = From dataTableClients In 
    dataTableClients.AsEnumerable() Where dataTableClients.Field(Of String) 
    ("cname").Contains(txtSearch.Text.Trim()) Order By dataTableClients.Field(Of 
    String)("cname") Select dataTableClients

    Dim dataView As DataView = query.AsDataView()
    lstboxc.DataSource = dataView
    lstboxc.DisplayMember = "cname"
    lstboxc.ValueMember = "ccode"
    okcl = 1
    If dataTableClients.Rows.Count > 0 Then
        ccode = dataTableClients.Rows(0)("ccode")
        Call ClientDispData1()
    End If
End Sub

Select first and last row from grouped data

using which.min and which.max :

library(dplyr, warn.conflicts = F)
df %>% 
  group_by(id) %>% 
  slice(c(which.min(stopSequence), which.max(stopSequence)))

#> # A tibble: 6 x 3
#> # Groups:   id [3]
#>      id stopId stopSequence
#>   <dbl> <fct>         <dbl>
#> 1     1 a                 1
#> 2     1 c                 3
#> 3     2 b                 1
#> 4     2 c                 4
#> 5     3 b                 1
#> 6     3 a                 3

benchmark

It is also much faster than the current accepted answer because we find the min and max value by group, instead of sorting the whole stopSequence column.

# create a 100k times longer data frame
df2 <- bind_rows(replicate(1e5, df, F)) 
bench::mark(
  mm =df2 %>% 
    group_by(id) %>% 
    slice(c(which.min(stopSequence), which.max(stopSequence))),
  jeremy = df2 %>%
    group_by(id) %>%
    arrange(stopSequence) %>%
    filter(row_number()==1 | row_number()==n()))

Use "ENTER" key on softkeyboard instead of clicking button

add an attribute to the EditText like android:imeOptions="actionSearch"

this is the best way to do the function

and the imeOptions also have some other values like "go" ?"next"?"done" etc.

What exactly do "u" and "r" string flags do, and what are raw string literals?

There are two types of string in python: the traditional str type and the newer unicode type. If you type a string literal without the u in front you get the old str type which stores 8-bit characters, and with the u in front you get the newer unicode type that can store any Unicode character.

The r doesn't change the type at all, it just changes how the string literal is interpreted. Without the r, backslashes are treated as escape characters. With the r, backslashes are treated as literal. Either way, the type is the same.

ur is of course a Unicode string where backslashes are literal backslashes, not part of escape codes.

You can try to convert a Unicode string to an old string using the str() function, but if there are any unicode characters that cannot be represented in the old string, you will get an exception. You could replace them with question marks first if you wish, but of course this would cause those characters to be unreadable. It is not recommended to use the str type if you want to correctly handle unicode characters.

"401 Unauthorized" on a directory

You do not have permision to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.

This happened despite the fact the user is already authenticated via Active Directory.

There can be many causes to Access Denied error, but if you think you’ve already configured everything correctly from your web application, there might be a little detail that’s forgotten. Make sure you give the proper permission to Authenticated Users to access your web application directory.

Here are the steps I took to solve this issue.

  1. Right-click on the directory where the web application is stored and select Properties and click on Security tab.

  2. Click on Click on Edit…, then Add… button. Type in Authenticated Users in the Enter the object names to select., then Add button. Type in Authenticated Users in the Enter the object names to select.

  3. Click OK and you should see Authenticated Users as one of the user names. Give proper permissions on the Permissions for Authenticated Users box on the lower end if they’re not checked already.

  4. Click OK twice to close the dialog box. It should take effect immediately, but if you want to be sure, you can restart IIS for your web application.

Refresh your browser and it should display the web page now.

Hope this helps!

How to add constraints programmatically using Swift

This is one way to adding constraints programmatically

override func viewDidLoad() {
            super.viewDidLoad()


let myLabel = UILabel()
        myLabel.labelFrameUpdate(label: myLabel, text: "Welcome User", font: UIFont(name: "times new roman", size: 40)!, textColor: UIColor.red, textAlignment: .center, numberOfLines: 0, borderWidth: 2.0, BorderColor: UIColor.red.cgColor)
        self.view.addSubview(myLabel)


         let myLabelhorizontalConstraint = NSLayoutConstraint(item: myLabel, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.centerX, relatedBy: NSLayoutRelation.equal, toItem: self.view, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.centerX, multiplier: 1, constant: 0)
        let myLabelverticalConstraint = NSLayoutConstraint(item: myLabel, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.centerY, relatedBy: NSLayoutRelation.equal, toItem: self.view, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.centerY, multiplier: 1, constant: 0)
        let mylabelLeading = NSLayoutConstraint(item: myLabel, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.leading, relatedBy: NSLayoutRelation.equal, toItem: self.view, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.leading, multiplier: 1, constant: 10)
        let mylabelTrailing = NSLayoutConstraint(item: myLabel, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.trailing, relatedBy: NSLayoutRelation.equal, toItem: self.view, attribute: NSLayoutAttribute.trailing, multiplier: 1, constant: -10)

Google maps API V3 method fitBounds()

LatLngBounds must be defined with points in (south-west, north-east) order. Your points are not in that order.

The general fix, especially if you don't know the points will definitely be in that order, is to extend an empty bounds:

var bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds();
bounds.extend(myPlace);
bounds.extend(Item_1);
map.fitBounds(bounds);

The API will sort out the bounds.

How to write a multidimensional array to a text file?

There exist special libraries to do just that. (Plus wrappers for python)

hope this helps

Using str_replace so that it only acts on the first match?

The easiest way would be to use regular expression.

The other way is to find the position of the string with strpos() and then an substr_replace()

But i would really go for the RegExp.

How to implement Rate It feature in Android App

Make sure the below is implemented For in-app reviews:

implementation 'com.google.android.play:core:1.8.0'

OnCreate

public void RateApp(Context mContext) {
    try {
        ReviewManager manager = ReviewManagerFactory.create(mContext);

The #include<iostream> exists, but I get an error: identifier "cout" is undefined. Why?

The problem is the std namespace you are missing. cout is in the std namespace.
Add using namespace std; after the #include

Git submodule head 'reference is not a tree' error

This error can mean that a commit is missing in the submodule. That is, the repository (A) has a submodule (B). A wants to load B so that it is pointing to a certain commit (in B). If that commit is somehow missing, you'll get that error. Once possible cause: the reference to the commit was pushed in A, but the actual commit was not pushed from B. So I'd start there.

Less likely, there's a permissions problem, and the commit cannot be pulled (possible if you're using git+ssh).

Make sure the submodule paths look ok in .git/config and .gitmodules.

One last thing to try - inside the submodule directory: git reset HEAD --hard

C# Connecting Through Proxy

Try this code. Call it before making any http requests. The code will use the proxy from your Internet Explorer Settings - one thing though, I use proxy.Credentials = .... because my proxy server is an NTLM authenticated Internet Acceleration Server. Give it a whizz.

static void setProxy()
{
    WebProxy proxy = (WebProxy)WebProxy.GetDefaultProxy();
    if(proxy.Address != null)
    {
        proxy.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;
        WebRequest.DefaultWebProxy = new System.Net.WebProxy(proxy.Address, proxy.BypassProxyOnLocal, proxy.BypassList, proxy.Credentials);

Client to send SOAP request and receive response

So this is my final code after googling for 2 days on how to add a namespace and make soap request along with the SOAP envelope without adding proxy/Service Reference

How to set a border for an HTML div tag

Try being explicit about all the border properties. For example:

border:1px solid black;

See Border shorthand property. Although the other bits are optional some browsers don't set the width or colour to a default you'd expect. In your case I'd bet that it's the width that's zero unless specified.

Python method for reading keypress?

See the MSDN getch docs. Specifically:

The _getch and_getwch functions read a single character from the console without echoing the character. None of these functions can be used to read CTRL+C. When reading a function key or an arrow key, each function must be called twice; the first call returns 0 or 0xE0, and the second call returns the actual key code.

The Python function returns a character. you can use ord() to get an integer value you can test, for example keycode = ord(msvcrt.getch()).

So if you read an 0x00 or 0xE0, read it a second time to get the key code for an arrow or function key. From experimentation, 0x00 precedes F1-F10 (0x3B-0x44) and 0xE0 precedes arrow keys and Ins/Del/Home/End/PageUp/PageDown.

As an alternative, Bintray provides free hosting of maven repositories. That's probably a good alternative to Sonatype OSS and Maven Central if you absolutely don't want to rename the groupId. But please, at least make an effort to get your changes integrated upstream or rename and publish to Central. It makes it much easier for others to use your fork.

Postgres where clause compare timestamp

Assuming you actually mean timestamp because there is no datetime in Postgres

Cast the timestamp column to a date, that will remove the time part:

select *
from the_table
where the_timestamp_column::date = date '2015-07-15';

This will return all rows from July, 15th.

Note that the above will not use an index on the_timestamp_column. If performance is critical, you need to either create an index on that expression or use a range condition:

select *
from the_table
where the_timestamp_column >= timestamp '2015-07-15 00:00:00'
  and the_timestamp_column < timestamp '2015-07-16 00:00:00';

Get file version in PowerShell

Nowadays you can get the FileVersionInfo from Get-Item or Get-ChildItem, but it will show the original FileVersion from the shipped product, and not the updated version. For instance:

(Get-Item C:\Windows\System32\Lsasrv.dll).VersionInfo.FileVersion

Interestingly, you can get the updated (patched) ProductVersion by using this:

(Get-Command C:\Windows\System32\Lsasrv.dll).Version

The distinction I'm making between "original" and "patched" is basically due to the way the FileVersion is calculated (see the docs here). Basically ever since Vista, the Windows API GetFileVersionInfo is querying part of the version information from the language neutral file (exe/dll) and the non-fixed part from a language-specific mui file (which isn't updated every time the files change).

So with a file like lsasrv (which got replaced due to security problems in SSL/TLS/RDS in November 2014) the versions reported by these two commands (at least for a while after that date) were different, and the second one is the more "correct" version.

However, although it's correct in LSASrv, it's possible for the ProductVersion and FileVersion to be different (it's common, in fact). So the only way to get the updated Fileversion straight from the assembly file is to build it up yourself from the parts, something like this:

Get-Item C:\Windows\System32\Lsasrv.dll | ft FileName, File*Part

Or by pulling the data from this:

[System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo]::GetVersionInfo($this.FullName)

You can easily add this to all FileInfo objects by updating the TypeData in PowerShell:

Update-TypeData -TypeName System.IO.FileInfo -MemberName FileVersion -MemberType ScriptProperty -Value {
   [System.Diagnostics.FileVersionInfo]::GetVersionInfo($this.FullName) | % {
      [Version](($_.FileMajorPart, $_.FileMinorPart, $_.FileBuildPart, $_.FilePrivatePart)-join".") 
   }
}

Now every time you do Get-ChildItem or Get-Item you'll have a FileVersion property that shows the updated FileVersion ...

How to include Javascript file in Asp.Net page

Use Fiddler to see what is happening. Then change the path accordingly. You will probably find you get a 404 error and the path is wrong.

use jQuery's find() on JSON object

This works for me on [{"id":"data"},{"id":"data"}]

function getObjects(obj, key, val) 
{
    var newObj = false; 
    $.each(obj, function()
    {
        var testObject = this; 
        $.each(testObject, function(k,v)
        {
            //alert(k);
            if(val == v && k == key)
            {
                newObj = testObject;
            }
        });
    });

    return newObj;

CSS: Position loading indicator in the center of the screen

use position:fixed instead of position:absolute

php var_dump() vs print_r()

var_dump displays structured information about the object / variable. This includes type and values. Like print_r arrays are recursed through and indented.

print_r displays human readable information about the values with a format presenting keys and elements for arrays and objects.

The most important thing to notice is var_dump will output type as well as values while print_r does not.

Java: convert seconds to minutes, hours and days

You can use the Java enum TimeUnit to perform your math and avoid any hard coded values. Then we can use String.format(String, Object...) and a pair of StringBuilder(s) as well as a DecimalFormat to build the requested output. Something like,

Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Please enter a number of seconds:");
String str = scanner.nextLine().replace("\\,", "").trim();
long secondsIn = Long.parseLong(str);
long dayCount = TimeUnit.SECONDS.toDays(secondsIn);
long secondsCount = secondsIn - TimeUnit.DAYS.toSeconds(dayCount);
long hourCount = TimeUnit.SECONDS.toHours(secondsCount);
secondsCount -= TimeUnit.HOURS.toSeconds(hourCount);
long minutesCount = TimeUnit.SECONDS.toMinutes(secondsCount);
secondsCount -= TimeUnit.MINUTES.toSeconds(minutesCount);
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.append(String.format("%d %s, ", dayCount, (dayCount == 1) ? "day"
        : "days"));
StringBuilder sb2 = new StringBuilder();
sb2.append(sb.toString());
sb2.append(String.format("%02d:%02d:%02d %s", hourCount, minutesCount,
        secondsCount, (hourCount == 1) ? "hour" : "hours"));
sb.append(String.format("%d %s, ", hourCount, (hourCount == 1) ? "hour"
        : "hours"));
sb.append(String.format("%d %s and ", minutesCount,
        (minutesCount == 1) ? "minute" : "minutes"));
sb.append(String.format("%d %s.", secondsCount,
        (secondsCount == 1) ? "second" : "seconds"));
System.out.printf("You entered %s seconds, which is %s (%s)%n",
        new DecimalFormat("#,###").format(secondsIn), sb, sb2);

Which, when I enter 500000 outputs the requested (manual line break added for post) -

You entered 500,000 seconds, which is 5 days, 18 hours, 
53 minutes and 20 seconds. (5 days, 18:53:20 hours)

log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger in web.xml

I had log4j.properties in the correct place in the classpath and still got this warning with anything that used it directly. Code using log4j through commons-logging seemed to be fine for some reason.

If you have:

log4j.rootLogger=WARN

Change it to:

log4j.rootLogger=WARN, console
log4j.appender.console=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.console.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.console.layout.conversionPattern=%5p [%t] (%F:%L) - %m%n

According to http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/manual.html:

The root logger is anonymous but can be accessed with the Logger.getRootLogger() method. There is no default appender attached to root.

What this means is that you need to specify some appender, any appender, to the root logger to get logging to happen.

Adding that console appender to the rootLogger gets this complaint to disappear.

What is the result of % in Python?

The % (modulo) operator yields the remainder from the division of the first argument by the second. The numeric arguments are first converted to a common type.

3 + 2 + 1 - 5 + 4 % 2 - 1 / 4 + 6 = 7

This is based on operator precedence.

Best way to implement keyboard shortcuts in a Windows Forms application?

The best way is to use menu mnemonics, i.e. to have menu entries in your main form that get assigned the keyboard shortcut you want. Then everything else is handled internally and all you have to do is to implement the appropriate action that gets executed in the Click event handler of that menu entry.

Keyboard shortcuts in WPF

Special case: your shortcut doesn't trigger if the focus is on an element that "isn't native". In my case for example, a focus on a WpfCurrencyTextbox won't trigger shortcuts defined in your XAML (defined like in oliwa's answer).

I fixed this issue by making my shortcut global with the NHotkey package.

In short, for XAML, all you need to do is to replace

<KeyBinding Gesture="Ctrl+Alt+Add" Command="{Binding IncrementCommand}" />

by

<KeyBinding Gesture="Ctrl+Alt+Add" Command="{Binding IncrementCommand}"
            HotkeyManager.RegisterGlobalHotkey="True" />

jQuery 'input' event

I think 'input' simply works here the same way 'oninput' does in the DOM Level O Event Model.

Incidentally:

Just as silkfire commented it, I too googled for 'jQuery input event'. Thus I was led to here and astounded to learn that 'input' is an acceptable parameter to jquery's bind() command. In jQuery in Action (p. 102, 2008 ed.) 'input' is not mentionned as a possible event (against 20 others, from 'blur' to 'unload'). It is true that, on p. 92, the contrary could be surmised from rereading (i.e. from a reference to different string identifiers between Level 0 and Level 2 models). That is quite misleading.

Why can't I use background image and color together?

Gecko has a weird bug where setting the background-color for the html selector will cover up the background-image of the body element even though the body element in effect has a greater z-index and you should be able to see the body's background-image along with the html background-color based purely on simple logic.

Gecko Bug

Avoid the following...

html {background-color: #fff;}
body {background-image: url(example.png);}

Work Around

body {background-color: #fff; background-image: url(example.png);}

What exactly is the function of Application.CutCopyMode property in Excel

Normally, When you copy a cell you will find the below statement written down in the status bar (in the bottom of your sheet)

"Select destination and Press Enter or Choose Paste"

Then you press whether Enter or choose paste to paste the value of the cell.

If you didn't press Esc afterwards you will be able to paste the value of the cell several times

Application.CutCopyMode = False does the same like the Esc button, if you removed it from your code you will find that you are able to paste the cell value several times again.

And if you closed the Excel without pressing Esc you will get the warning 'There is a large amount of information on the Clipboard....'

How do I get the n-th level parent of an element in jQuery?

A faster way is to use javascript directly, eg.

var parent = $(innerdiv.get(0).parentNode.parentNode.parentNode);

This runs significantly faster on my browser than chaining jQuery .parent() calls.

See: http://jsperf.com/jquery-get-3rd-level-parent

NSURLErrorDomain error codes description

I received the error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1011 when using Parse, and providing the wrong clientKey. As soon as I corrected that, it began working.

Vagrant shared and synced folders

shared folders VS synced folders

Basically shared folders are renamed to synced folder from v1 to v2 (docs), under the bonnet it is still using vboxsf between host and guest (there is known performance issues if there are large numbers of files/directories).

Vagrantfile directory mounted as /vagrant in guest

Vagrant is mounting the current working directory (where Vagrantfile resides) as /vagrant in the guest, this is the default behaviour.

See docs

NOTE: By default, Vagrant will share your project directory (the directory with the Vagrantfile) to /vagrant.

You can disable this behaviour by adding cfg.vm.synced_folder ".", "/vagrant", disabled: true in your Vagrantfile.

Why synced folder is not working

Based on the output /tmp on host was NOT mounted during up time.

Use VAGRANT_INFO=debug vagrant up or VAGRANT_INFO=debug vagrant reload to start the VM for more output regarding why the synced folder is not mounted. Could be a permission issue (mode bits of /tmp on host should be drwxrwxrwt).

I did a test quick test using the following and it worked (I used opscode bento raring vagrant base box)

config.vm.synced_folder "/tmp", "/tmp/src"

output

$ vagrant reload

How to import popper.js?

You can download and import all of Bootstrap, and Popper, with a single command using Fetch Injection:

fetchInject([
  'https://npmcdn.com/[email protected]/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js',
  'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/popper.js/1.0.0-beta.3/popper.min.js'
], fetchInject([
  'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/jquery/3.1.1/jquery.slim.min.js',
  'https://npmcdn.com/[email protected]/dist/js/tether.min.js'
]));

Add CSS files if you need those too. Adjust versions and external sources to meet your needs and consider using sub-resource integrity checking if you're not hosting the files on your own domain or don't trust the source.

How to break a while loop from an if condition inside the while loop?

while(something.hasnext())
do something...
   if(contains something to process){
      do something...
      break;
   }
}

Just use the break statement;

For eg:this just prints "Breaking..."

while (true) {
     if (true) {
         System.out.println("Breaking...");
         break;
     }
     System.out.println("Did this print?");
}

Preserve line breaks in angularjs

Based on @pilau s answer - but with an improvement that even the accepted answer does not have.

<div class="angular-with-newlines" ng-repeat="item in items">
   {{item.description}}
</div>

/* in the css file or in a style block */
.angular-with-newlines {
    white-space: pre-line;
}

This will use newlines and whitespace as given, but also break content at the content boundaries. More information about the white-space property can be found here:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/white-space

If you want to break on newlines, but also not collapse multiple spaces or white space preceeding the text (to render code or something), you can use:

white-space: pre-wrap;

Nice comparison of the different rendering modes: http://meyerweb.com/eric/css/tests/white-space.html

How do I get list of methods in a Python class?

You can list all methods in a python class by using the following code

dir(className)

This will return a list of all the names of the methods in the class

Notice: Trying to get property of non-object error

The response is an array.

var_dump($pjs[0]->{'player_name'});

execJs: 'Could not find a JavaScript runtime' but execjs AND therubyracer are in Gemfile

I had this occur to me on my Windows machine, turns out the problem was quite different. I had accidentally removed some paths from my %PATH% variable. Simply restarting the command prompt solved it. It seems as though there was a JS runtime in one of those missing paths.

Find and extract a number from a string

\d+ is the regex for an integer number. So

//System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex
resultString = Regex.Match(subjectString, @"\d+").Value;

returns a string containing the first occurrence of a number in subjectString.

Int32.Parse(resultString) will then give you the number.

How to select a CRAN mirror in R

I had, on macOS, the exact thing that you say: A 'please select' prompt and then nothing more.

After I opened (and updated; don't know if that was relevant) X-Quartz, and then restarted R and tried again, I got an X-window list of mirrors to choose from after a few seconds. It was faster the third time onwards.

How to change the author and committer name and e-mail of multiple commits in Git?

As docgnome mentioned, rewriting history is dangerous and will break other people's repositories.

But if you really want to do that and you are in a bash environment (no problem in Linux, on Windows, you can use git bash, that is provided with the installation of git), use git filter-branch:

git filter-branch --env-filter '
  if [ $GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL = bad@email ];
    then GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL=correct@email;
  fi;
export GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL'

To speed things up, you can specify a range of revisions you want to rewrite:

git filter-branch --env-filter '
  if [ $GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL = bad@email ];
    then GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL=correct@email;
  fi;
export GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL' HEAD~20..HEAD

Vue.js dynamic images not working

I got this working by following code

  getImgUrl(pet) {
    var images = require.context('../assets/', false, /\.png$/)
    return images('./' + pet + ".png")
  }

and in HTML:

<div class="col-lg-2" v-for="pic in pics">
   <img :src="getImgUrl(pic)" v-bind:alt="pic">
</div>

But not sure why my earlier approach did not work.

How to Deserialize XML document

How about a generic class to deserialize an XML document

//++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
// Generic class to load any xml into a class
// used like this ...
// YourClassTypeHere InfoList = LoadXMLFileIntoClass<YourClassTypeHere>(xmlFile);

using System.IO;
using System.Xml.Serialization;

public static T LoadXMLFileIntoClass<T>(string xmlFile)
{
    T returnThis;
    XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));
    if (!FileAndIO.FileExists(xmlFile))
    {
        Console.WriteLine("FileDoesNotExistError {0}", xmlFile);
    }
    returnThis = (T)serializer.Deserialize(new StreamReader(xmlFile));
    return (T)returnThis;
}

This part may, or may not be necessary. Open the XML document in Visual Studio, right click on the XML, choose properties. Then choose your schema file.

Java Try Catch Finally blocks without Catch

The inner finally is executed prior to throwing the exception to the outer block.

public class TryCatchFinally {

  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

    try{
        System.out.println('A');
        try{
            System.out.println('B');
            throw new Exception("threw exception in B");
        }
        finally
        {
            System.out.println('X');
        }
        //any code here in the first try block 
        //is unreachable if an exception occurs in the second try block
    }
    catch(Exception e)
    {
        System.out.println('Y');
    }
    finally
    {
        System.out.println('Z');
    }
  }
}

Results in

A
B
X
Y
Z

Batch command date and time in file name

So you want to generate date in format YYYYMMDD_hhmmss. As %date% and %time% formats are locale dependant you might need more robust ways to get a formatted date.

Here's one option:

@if (@X)==(@Y) @end /*
    @cscript //E:JScript //nologo "%~f0"
    @exit /b %errorlevel%
@end*/
var todayDate = new Date();
todayDate = "" + 
    todayDate.getFullYear() + 
    ("0" + (todayDate.getMonth() + 1)).slice(-2) +
    ("0" + todayDate.getDate()).slice(-2) + 
    "_" + 
    ("0" + todayDate.getHours()).slice(-2) +
    ("0" + todayDate.getMinutes()).slice(-2) +
    ("0" + todayDate.getSeconds()).slice(-2) ;
WScript.Echo(todayDate);

and if you save the script as jsdate.bat you can assign it as a value :

for /f %%a in ('jsdate.bat') do @set "fdate=%%a"
echo %fdate%

or directly from command prompt:

for /f %a in ('jsdate.bat') do @set "fdate=%a"

Or you can use powershell which probably is the way that requires the less code:

for /f %%# in ('powershell Get-Date -Format "yyyyMMdd_HHmmss"') do set "fdate=%%#"

How do you strip a character out of a column in SQL Server?

Use the "REPLACE" string function on the column in question:

UPDATE (yourTable)
SET YourColumn = REPLACE(YourColumn, '*', '')
WHERE (your conditions)

Replace the "*" with the character you want to strip out and specify your WHERE clause to match the rows you want to apply the update to.

Of course, the REPLACE function can also be used - as other answerer have shown - in a SELECT statement - from your question, I assumed you were trying to update a table.

How to call Stored Procedure in a View?

I was able to call stored procedure in a view (SQL Server 2005).

CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[dimMeasure] 
   RETURNS  TABLE  AS

    (
     SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('SQLNCLI', 'Server=localhost; Trusted_Connection=yes;', 'exec ceaw.dbo.sp_dimMeasure2')
    )
RETURN
GO

Inside stored procedure we need to set:

set nocount on
SET FMTONLY OFF
CREATE VIEW [dbo].[dimMeasure]
AS

SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET('SQLNCLI', 'Server=localhost;Trusted_Connection=yes;', 'exec ceaw.dbo.sp_dimMeasure2')

Excel VBA - How to Redim a 2D array?

This isn't exactly intuitive, but you cannot Redim(VB6 Ref) an array if you dimmed it with dimensions. Exact quote from linked page is:

The ReDim statement is used to size or resize a dynamic array that has already been formally declared using a Private, Public, or Dim statement with empty parentheses (without dimension subscripts).

In other words, instead of dim invoices(10,0)

You should use

Dim invoices()
Redim invoices(10,0)

Then when you ReDim, you'll need to use Redim Preserve (10,row)

Warning: When Redimensioning multi-dimensional arrays, if you want to preserve your values, you can only increase the last dimension. I.E. Redim Preserve (11,row) or even (11,0) would fail.

How to set up default schema name in JPA configuration?

In order to avoid hardcoding schema in JPA Entity Java Classes we used orm.xml mapping file in Java EE application deployed in OracleApplicationServer10 (OC4J,Orion). It lays in model.jar/META-INF/ as well as persistence.xml. Mapping file orm.xml is referenced from peresistence.xml with tag

...
  <persistence-unit name="MySchemaPU"  transaction-type="JTA">

How to escape single quotes within single quoted strings

shell_escape () {
    printf '%s' "'${1//\'/\'\\\'\'}'"
}

Implementation explanation:

  • double quotes so we can easily output wrapping single quotes and use the ${...} syntax

  • bash's search and replace looks like: ${varname//search/replacement}

  • we're replacing ' with '\''

  • '\'' encodes a single ' like so:

    1. ' ends the single quoting

    2. \' encodes a ' (the backslash is needed because we're not inside quotes)

    3. ' starts up single quoting again

    4. bash automatically concatenates strings with no white space between

  • there's a \ before every \ and ' because that's the escaping rules for ${...//.../...} .

string="That's "'#@$*&^`(@#'
echo "original: $string"
echo "encoded:  $(shell_escape "$string")"
echo "expanded: $(bash -c "echo $(shell_escape "$string")")"

P.S. Always encode to single quoted strings because they are way simpler than double quoted strings.

What is difference between functional and imperative programming languages?

Definition: An imperative language uses a sequence of statements to determine how to reach a certain goal. These statements are said to change the state of the program as each one is executed in turn.

Examples: Java is an imperative language. For example, a program can be created to add a series of numbers:

 int total = 0;
 int number1 = 5;
 int number2 = 10;
 int number3 = 15;
 total = number1 + number2 + number3; 

Each statement changes the state of the program, from assigning values to each variable to the final addition of those values. Using a sequence of five statements the program is explicitly told how to add the numbers 5, 10 and 15 together.

Functional languages: The functional programming paradigm was explicitly created to support a pure functional approach to problem solving. Functional programming is a form of declarative programming.

Advantages of Pure Functions: The primary reason to implement functional transformations as pure functions is that pure functions are composable: that is, self-contained and stateless. These characteristics bring a number of benefits, including the following: Increased readability and maintainability. This is because each function is designed to accomplish a specific task given its arguments. The function does not rely on any external state.

Easier reiterative development. Because the code is easier to refactor, changes to design are often easier to implement. For example, suppose you write a complicated transformation, and then realize that some code is repeated several times in the transformation. If you refactor through a pure method, you can call your pure method at will without worrying about side effects.

Easier testing and debugging. Because pure functions can more easily be tested in isolation, you can write test code that calls the pure function with typical values, valid edge cases, and invalid edge cases.

For OOP People or Imperative languages:

Object-oriented languages are good when you have a fixed set of operations on things and as your code evolves, you primarily add new things. This can be accomplished by adding new classes which implement existing methods and the existing classes are left alone.

Functional languages are good when you have a fixed set of things and as your code evolves, you primarily add new operations on existing things. This can be accomplished by adding new functions which compute with existing data types and the existing functions are left alone.

Cons:

It depends on the user requirements to choose the way of programming, so there is harm only when users don’t choose the proper way.

When evolution goes the wrong way, you have problems:

  • Adding a new operation to an object-oriented program may require editing many class definitions to add a new method
  • Adding a new kind of thing to a functional program may require editing many function definitions to add a new case.

How do you determine a processing time in Python?

For some further information on how to determine the processing time, and a comparison of a few methods (some mentioned already in the answers of this post) - specifically, the difference between:

start = time.time()

versus the now obsolete (as of 3.3, time.clock() is deprecated)

start = time.clock()

see this other article on Stackoverflow here:

Python - time.clock() vs. time.time() - accuracy?

If nothing else, this will work good:

start = time.time()

... do something

elapsed = (time.time() - start)

See :hover state in Chrome Developer Tools

I don't think there is a way to do this. I submitted a feature request. If there is a way, the developers at Google will surly point it out and I will edit my answer. If not, we will have to wait and watch. (you can star the issue to vote for it)


Comment 1 by Chrome project member: In 10.0.620.0, the Styles panel shows the :hover styles for the selected element but not :active.


(as of this post) Current Stable channel version is 8.0.552.224.

You can replace your Stable channel installation of Google Chrome with the Beta channel or the Dev channel (See Early Access Release Channels).

You can also install a secondary installation of chrome that is even more up to date than the Dev channel.

... The Canary build is updated even more frequently than the Dev channel and is not tested before being released. Because the Canary build may at times be unusable, it cannot be set as your default browser and may be installed in addition to any of the above channels of Google Chrome. ...

Javascript Error Null is not an Object

I think the error because the elements are undefined ,so you need to add window.onload event which this event will defined your elements when the window is loaded.

window.addEventListener('load',Loaded,false);


    function Loaded(){
    var myButton = document.getElementById("myButton");
    var myTextfield = document.getElementById("myTextfield");

    function greetUser(userName) {
    var greeting = "Hello " + userName + "!";
    document.getElementsByTagName ("h2")[0].innerHTML = greeting;
    }

    myButton.onclick = function() {
    var userName = myTextfield.value;
    greetUser(userName);

    return false;
    }
    }

AngularJS: How do I manually set input to $valid in controller?

It is very simple. For example : in you JS controller use this:

$scope.inputngmodel.$valid = false;

or

$scope.inputngmodel.$invalid = true;

or

$scope.formname.inputngmodel.$valid = false;

or

$scope.formname.inputngmodel.$invalid = true;

All works for me for different requirement. Hit up if this solve your problem.

Android ListView Text Color

You have to define the text color in the layout *simple_list_item_1* that defines the layout of each of your items.

You set the background color of the LinearLayout and not of the ListView. The background color of the child items of the LinearLayout are transparent by default (in most cases).

And you set the black text color for the TextView that is not part of your ListView. It is an own item (child item of the LinearLayout) here.

How to avoid Sql Query Timeout

Although there is clearly some kind of network instability or something interfering with your connection (15 minutes is possible that you could be crossing a NAT boundary or something in your network is dropping the session), I would think you want such a simple?) query to return well within any anticipated timeoue (like 1s).

I would talk to your DBA and get an index created on the underlying tables on MemberType, Status. If there isn't a single underlying table or these are more complex and created by the view or UDF, and you are running SQL Server 2005 or above, have him consider indexing the view (basically materializing the view in an indexed fashion).

Node.js fs.readdir recursive directory search

Using async/await, this should work:

const FS = require('fs');
const readDir = promisify(FS.readdir);
const fileStat = promisify(FS.stat);

async function getFiles(dir) {
    let files = await readDir(dir);

    let result = files.map(file => {
        let path = Path.join(dir,file);
        return fileStat(path).then(stat => stat.isDirectory() ? getFiles(path) : path);
    });

    return flatten(await Promise.all(result));
}

function flatten(arr) {
    return Array.prototype.concat(...arr);
}

You can use bluebird.Promisify or this:

/**
 * Returns a function that will wrap the given `nodeFunction`. Instead of taking a callback, the returned function will return a promise whose fate is decided by the callback behavior of the given node function. The node function should conform to node.js convention of accepting a callback as last argument and calling that callback with error as the first argument and success value on the second argument.
 *
 * @param {Function} nodeFunction
 * @returns {Function}
 */
module.exports = function promisify(nodeFunction) {
    return function(...args) {
        return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
            nodeFunction.call(this, ...args, (err, data) => {
                if(err) {
                    reject(err);
                } else {
                    resolve(data);
                }
            })
        });
    };
};

It's not an exact duplicate (so far as I can find), but this is a common problem.

display:block is what you need. but you should read the spec to understand why.

jQuery onclick toggle class name

you can use toggleClass() to toggle class it is really handy.

case:1

<div id='mydiv' class="class1"></div>

$('#mydiv').toggleClass('class1 class2');

output: <div id='mydiv' class="class2"></div>

case:2

<div id='mydiv' class="class2"></div>

$('#mydiv').toggleClass('class1 class2');

output: <div id='mydiv' class="class1"></div>

case:3

<div id='mydiv' class="class1 class2 class3"></div>

output: <div id='mydiv' class="class3"></div>

How to read integer value from the standard input in Java

Check this one:

public static void main(String[] args) {
    String input = null;
    int number = 0;
    try {
        BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
        input = bufferedReader.readLine();
        number = Integer.parseInt(input);
    } catch (NumberFormatException ex) {
       System.out.println("Not a number !");

How to uninstall Golang?

On linux we can do like this to remove go completely:

rm -rf "/usr/local/.go/"
rm -rf "/usr/local/go/"

These two command remove go and hidden .go files. Now we also have to update entries in shell profile.

Open your basic file. Mostly I open like this sudo gedit ~/.bashrc and remove all go mentions.

You can also do by sed command in ubuntu

sed -i '/# GoLang/d' .bashrc
sed -i '/export GOROOT/d' .bashrc
sed -i '/:$GOROOT/d' .bashrc
sed -i '/export GOPATH/d' .bashrc
sed -i '/:$GOPATH/d' .bashrc

It will remove Golang from everywhere. Also run this after running these command

source ~/.bash_profile

Tested on linux 18.04 also. That's All.

.gitignore exclude folder but include specific subfolder

Add an additional answer:

!/.vs/              <== include this folder to source control, folder only, nothing else

QtCreator: No valid kits found

I had a similar problems after installing Qt in Windows.

This could be because only the Qt creator was installed and not any of the Qt libraries during initial installation. When installing from scratch use the online installer and select the following to install:

  1. For starting, select at least one version of Qt libs (ex Qt 5.15.1) and the c++ compiler of choice (ex MinGW 8.1.0 64-bit).

  2. Select Developer and Designer Tools. I kept the selected defaults.

Note: The choice of the Qt libs and Tools can also be changed post initial installation using MaintenanceTool.exe under Qt installation dir C:\Qt. See here.

How to get my Android device Internal Download Folder path

if a device has an SD card, you use:

Environment.getExternalStorageState() 

if you don't have an SD card, you use:

Environment.getDataDirectory()

if there is no SD card, you can create your own directory on the device locally.

    //if there is no SD card, create new directory objects to make directory on device
        if (Environment.getExternalStorageState() == null) {
                        //create new file directory object
            directory = new File(Environment.getDataDirectory()
                    + "/RobotiumTestLog/");

Is there a way to have printf() properly print out an array (of floats, say)?

To be Honest All Are good but it will be easy if or more efficient if someone use n time numbers and show them in out put.so prefer this will be a good option. Do not predefined array variable let user define and show the result. Like this..

int main()
{
    int i,j,n,t;
int arry[100];
    scanf("%d",&n);
   for (i=0;i<n;i++)
   { scanf("%d",&t);
       arry[i]=t;
   }
for(j=0;j<n;j++)
    printf("%d",arry[j]);

return 0;
}

What is the perfect counterpart in Python for "while not EOF"

While there are suggestions above for "doing it the python way", if one wants to really have a logic based on EOF, then I suppose using exception handling is the way to do it --

try:
    line = raw_input()
    ... whatever needs to be done incase of no EOF ...
except EOFError:
    ... whatever needs to be done incase of EOF ...

Example:

$ echo test | python -c "while True: print raw_input()"
test
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module> 
EOFError: EOF when reading a line

Or press Ctrl-Z at a raw_input() prompt (Windows, Ctrl-Z Linux)

How to convert BigDecimal to Double in Java?

Use doubleValue method present in BigDecimal class :

double doubleValue()

Converts this BigDecimal to a double.

Serializing a list to JSON

There are two common ways of doing that with built-in JSON serializers:

  1. JavaScriptSerializer

    var serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
    return serializer.Serialize(TheList);
    
  2. DataContractJsonSerializer

    var serializer = new DataContractJsonSerializer(TheList.GetType());
    using (var stream = new MemoryStream())
    {
        serializer.WriteObject(stream, TheList);
        using (var sr = new StreamReader(stream))
        {
            return sr.ReadToEnd();
        }
    }
    

    Note, that this option requires definition of a data contract for your class:

    [DataContract]
    public class MyObjectInJson
    {
       [DataMember]
       public long ObjectID {get;set;}
       [DataMember]
       public string ObjectInJson {get;set;}
    }
    

How to initialize a vector with fixed length in R

?vector

X <- vector(mode="character", length=10)

This will give you empty strings which get printed as two adjacent double quotes, but be aware that there are no double-quote characters in the values themselves. That's just a side-effect of how print.default displays the values. They can be indexed by location. The number of characters will not be restricted, so if you were expecting to get 10 character element you will be disappointed.

>  X[5] <- "character element in 5th position"

>  X
 [1] ""                                  ""                                 
 [3] ""                                  ""                                 
 [5] "character element in 5th position" ""                                 
 [7] ""                                  ""                                 
 [9] ""                                  "" 
>  nchar(X)
 [1]  0  0  0  0 33  0  0  0  0  0

> length(X)

Angular2 Error: There is no directive with "exportAs" set to "ngForm"

I had the same problem which was resolved by adding the FormsModule to the .spec.ts:

  TestBed.configureTestingModule({
    imports: [ FormsModule ],
    declarations: [ YourComponent ]
  })
.compileComponents();
}));

Using VBA to get extended file attributes

Lucky discovery

if objFolderItem is Nothing when you call

objFolder.GetDetailsOf(objFolderItem, i)

the string returned is the name of the property, rather than its (undefined) value e.g. when i=3 it returns "Date modified"

Doing it for all 288 values of I makes it clear why most cause it to return blank for most filetypes e.g i=175 is "Horizontal resolution"

Create a custom callback in JavaScript

Actually, your code will pretty much work as is, just declare your callback as an argument and you can call it directly using the argument name.

The basics

function doSomething(callback) {
    // ...

    // Call the callback
    callback('stuff', 'goes', 'here');
}

function foo(a, b, c) {
    // I'm the callback
    alert(a + " " + b + " " + c);
}

doSomething(foo);

That will call doSomething, which will call foo, which will alert "stuff goes here".

Note that it's very important to pass the function reference (foo), rather than calling the function and passing its result (foo()). In your question, you do it properly, but it's just worth pointing out because it's a common error.

More advanced stuff

Sometimes you want to call the callback so it sees a specific value for this. You can easily do that with the JavaScript call function:

function Thing(name) {
    this.name = name;
}
Thing.prototype.doSomething = function(callback) {
    // Call our callback, but using our own instance as the context
    callback.call(this);
}

function foo() {
    alert(this.name);
}

var t = new Thing('Joe');
t.doSomething(foo);  // Alerts "Joe" via `foo`

You can also pass arguments:

function Thing(name) {
    this.name = name;
}
Thing.prototype.doSomething = function(callback, salutation) {
    // Call our callback, but using our own instance as the context
    callback.call(this, salutation);
}

function foo(salutation) {
    alert(salutation + " " + this.name);
}

var t = new Thing('Joe');
t.doSomething(foo, 'Hi');  // Alerts "Hi Joe" via `foo`

Sometimes it's useful to pass the arguments you want to give the callback as an array, rather than individually. You can use apply to do that:

function Thing(name) {
    this.name = name;
}
Thing.prototype.doSomething = function(callback) {
    // Call our callback, but using our own instance as the context
    callback.apply(this, ['Hi', 3, 2, 1]);
}

function foo(salutation, three, two, one) {
    alert(salutation + " " + this.name + " - " + three + " " + two + " " + one);
}

var t = new Thing('Joe');
t.doSomething(foo);  // Alerts "Hi Joe - 3 2 1" via `foo`

How do I add multiple "NOT LIKE '%?%' in the WHERE clause of sqlite3?

If you use Sqlite's REGEXP support ( see the answer at Problem with regexp python and sqlite for how to do that ) , then you can do it easily in one clause:

SELECT word FROM table WHERE word NOT REGEXP '[abc]';

Typescript Type 'string' is not assignable to type

All the above answers are valid, however, there are some cases that the String Literal Type is part of another complex type. Consider the following example:

  // in foo.ts
  export type ToolbarTheme = {
    size: 'large' | 'small',
  };

  // in bar.ts
  import { ToolbarTheme } from './foo.ts';
  function useToolbarTheme(theme: ToolbarTheme) {/* ... */}

  // Here you will get the following error: 
  // Type 'string' is not assignable to type '"small" | "large"'.ts(2322)
  ['large', 'small'].forEach(size => (
    useToolbarTheme({ size })
  ));

You have multiple solutions to fix this. Each solution is valid and has its own use cases.

1) The first solution is to define a type for the size and export it from the foo.ts. This is good if when you need to work with the size parameter by its own. For example, you have a function that accepts or returns a parameter of type size and you want to type it.

  // in foo.ts
  export type ToolbarThemeSize = 'large' | 'small';
  export type ToolbarTheme = {
    size: ToolbarThemeSize
  };

  // in bar.ts
  import { ToolbarTheme, ToolbarThemeSize } from './foo.ts';
  function useToolbarTheme(theme: ToolbarTheme) {/* ... */}
  function getToolbarSize(): ToolbarThemeSize  {/* ... */}

  ['large', 'small'].forEach(size => (
    useToolbarTheme({ size: size as ToolbarThemeSize })
  ));

2) The second option is to just cast it to the type ToolbarTheme. In this case, you don't need to expose the internal of ToolbarTheme if you don't need.

  // in foo.ts
  export type ToolbarTheme = {
    size: 'large' | 'small'
  };

  // in bar.ts
  import { ToolbarTheme } from './foo.ts';
  function useToolbarTheme(theme: ToolbarTheme) {/* ... */}

  ['large', 'small'].forEach(size => (
    useToolbarTheme({ size } as ToolbarTheme)
  ));

Read file from line 2 or skip header row

If you want to read multiple CSV files starting from line 2, this works like a charm

for files in csv_file_list:
        with open(files, 'r') as r: 
            next(r)                  #skip headers             
            rr = csv.reader(r)
            for row in rr:
                #do something

Trying to embed newline in a variable in bash

There are three levels at which a newline could be inserted in a variable.
Well ..., technically four, but the first two are just two ways to write the newline in code.

1.1. At creation.

The most basic is to create the variable with the newlines already.
We write the variable value in code with the newlines already inserted.

$ var="a
> b
> c"
$ echo "$var"
a
b
c

Or, inside an script code:

var="a
b
c"

Yes, that means writing Enter where needed in the code.

1.2. Create using shell quoting.

The sequence $' is an special shell expansion in bash and zsh.

var=$'a\nb\nc'

The line is parsed by the shell and expanded to « var="anewlinebnewlinec" », which is exactly what we want the variable var to be.
That will not work on older shells.

2. Using shell expansions.

It is basically a command expansion with several commands:

  1. echo -e

    var="$( echo -e "a\nb\nc" )"
    
  2. The bash and zsh printf '%b'

    var="$( printf '%b' "a\nb\nc" )"
    
  3. The bash printf -v

    printf -v var '%b' "a\nb\nc"
    
  4. Plain simple printf (works on most shells):

    var="$( printf 'a\nb\nc' )"
    

3. Using shell execution.

All the commands listed in the second option could be used to expand the value of a var, if that var contains special characters.
So, all we need to do is get those values inside the var and execute some command to show:

var="a\nb\nc"                 # var will contain the characters \n not a newline.

echo -e "$var"                # use echo.
printf "%b" "$var"            # use bash %b in printf.
printf "$var"                 # use plain printf.

Note that printf is somewhat unsafe if var value is controlled by an attacker.

What is the difference between <%, <%=, <%# and -%> in ERB in Rails?

I've added the <%% literal tag delimiter as an answer to this because of its obscurity. This will tell erb not to interpret the <% part of the tag which is necessary for js apps like displaying chart.js tooltips etc.

Update (Fixed broken link)

Everything about ERB can now be found here: https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/5.3/lang_template_erb.html#tags

In the nav go View => Layout => Columns:2 (alt+shift+2) and open your file again in the other pane (i.e. click the other pane and use ctrl+p filename.py)

It appears you can also reopen the file using the command File -> New View into File which will open the current file in a new tab

Merge PDF files

The pdfrw library can do this quite easily, assuming you don't need to preserve bookmarks and annotations, and your PDFs aren't encrypted. cat.py is an example concatenation script, and subset.py is an example page subsetting script.

The relevant part of the concatenation script -- assumes inputs is a list of input filenames, and outfn is an output file name:

from pdfrw import PdfReader, PdfWriter

writer = PdfWriter()
for inpfn in inputs:
    writer.addpages(PdfReader(inpfn).pages)
writer.write(outfn)

As you can see from this, it would be pretty easy to leave out the last page, e.g. something like:

    writer.addpages(PdfReader(inpfn).pages[:-1])

Disclaimer: I am the primary pdfrw author.

Xcode 4 - "Archive" is greyed out?

I fixed this today...sort of. Although the archives still don't show up anywhere. But I got the Archive option back by going into Build Settings for the project and re-assigning my certs under "Code Signing Identity" for each build. They seemed to have gotten reset to something else when imported my 3.X project to 4.

I also used the instructions found here:

http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/ToolsLanguages/Conceptual/Xcode4UserGuide/DistApps/DistApps.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40010215-CH11-DontLinkElementID_69

But I still can't get the actual archives to show up in Organizer (even though the files exist)

How to use terminal commands with Github?

git add myfile.h
git commit -m "your commit message"
git push -u origin master

if you don't remember all the files you need to update, use

git status

What is "origin" in Git?

Origin is the shortname that acts like an alias for the url of the remote repository.

Let me explain with an example.

Suppose you have a remote repository called amazing-project and then you clone that remote repository to your local machine so that you have a local repository. Then you would have something like what you can see in the diagram below:

enter image description here

Because you cloned the repository. The remote repository and the local repository are linked.

If you run the command git remote -v it will list all the remote repositories that are linked to your local repository. There you will see that in order to push or fetch code from your remote repository you will use the shortname 'origin'. enter image description here

Now, this may be a bit confusing because in GitHub (or the remote server) the project is called 'amazing-project'. So why does it seem like there are two names for the remote repository?

enter image description here

Well one of the names that we have for our repository is the name it has on GitHub or a remote server somewhere. This can be kind of thought like a project name. And in our case that is 'amazing-project'.

The other name that we have for our repository is the shortname that it has in our local repository that is related to the URL of the repository. It is the shortname we are going to use whenever we want to push or fetch code from that remote repository. And this shortname kind of acts like an alias for the url, it's a way for us to avoid having to use that entire long url in order to push or fetch code. And in our example above it is called origin.

So, what is origin?

Basically origin is the default shortname that Git uses for a remote repository when you clone that remote repository. So it's just the default.

In many cases you will have links to multiple remote repositories in your local repository and each of those will have a different shortname.

So final question, why don't we just use the same name?

I will answer that question with another example. Suppose we have a friend who forks our remote repository so they can help us on our project. And let's assume we want to be able to fetch code from their remote repository. We can use the command git remote add <shortname> <url> in order to add a link to their remote repository in our local repository.

enter image description here

In the above image you can see that I used the shortname friend to refer to my friend's remote repository. You can also see that both of the remote repositories have the same project name amazing-project and that gives us one reason why the remote repository names in the remote server and the shortnames in our local repositories should not be the same!

There is a really helpful video that explains all of this that can be found here.

How to write to a JSON file in the correct format

Require the JSON library, and use to_json.

require 'json'
tempHash = {
    "key_a" => "val_a",
    "key_b" => "val_b"
}
File.open("public/temp.json","w") do |f|
  f.write(tempHash.to_json)
end

Your temp.json file now looks like:

{"key_a":"val_a","key_b":"val_b"}

Rotating a point about another point (2D)

First subtract the pivot point (cx,cy), then rotate it, then add the point again.

Untested:

POINT rotate_point(float cx,float cy,float angle,POINT p)
{
  float s = sin(angle);
  float c = cos(angle);

  // translate point back to origin:
  p.x -= cx;
  p.y -= cy;

  // rotate point
  float xnew = p.x * c - p.y * s;
  float ynew = p.x * s + p.y * c;

  // translate point back:
  p.x = xnew + cx;
  p.y = ynew + cy;
  return p;
}

How to create a custom attribute in C#

Utilizing/Copying Darin Dimitrov's great response, this is how to access a custom attribute on a property and not a class:

The decorated property [of class Foo]:

[MyCustomAttribute(SomeProperty = "This is a custom property")]
public string MyProperty { get; set; }

Fetching it:

PropertyInfo propertyInfo = typeof(Foo).GetProperty(propertyToCheck);
object[] attribute = propertyInfo.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(MyCustomAttribute), true);
if (attribute.Length > 0)
{
    MyCustomAttribute myAttribute = (MyCustomAttribute)attribute[0];
    string propertyValue = myAttribute.SomeProperty;
}

You can throw this in a loop and use reflection to access this custom attribute on each property of class Foo, as well:

foreach (PropertyInfo propertyInfo in Foo.GetType().GetProperties())
{
    string propertyName = propertyInfo.Name;

    object[] attribute = propertyInfo.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(MyCustomAttribute), true);
    // Just in case you have a property without this annotation
    if (attribute.Length > 0)
    {
        MyCustomAttribute myAttribute = (MyCustomAttribute)attribute[0];
        string propertyValue = myAttribute.SomeProperty;
        // TODO: whatever you need with this propertyValue
    }
}

Major thanks to you, Darin!!

set date in input type date

Datetimepicker always needs input format YYYY-MM-DD, it doesn't care about display format of your model, or about you local system datetime. But the output format of datetime picker is the your wanted (your local system). There is simple example in my post.

getString Outside of a Context or Activity

Somehow didn't like the hacky solutions of storing static values so came up with a bit longer but a clean version which can be tested as well.

Found 2 possible ways to do it-

  1. Pass context.resources as a parameter to your class where you want the string resource. Fairly simple. If passing as param is not possible, use the setter.

e.g.

data class MyModel(val resources: Resources) {
    fun getNameString(): String {
        resources.getString(R.string.someString)
    }
}
  1. Use the data-binding (requires fragment/activity though)

Before you read: This version uses Data binding

XML-

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<layout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">

<data>
    <variable
        name="someStringFetchedFromRes"
        type="String" />
</data>

<TextView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@{someStringFetchedFromRes}" />
</layout>

Activity/Fragment-

val binding = NameOfYourBinding.inflate(inflater)
binding.someStringFetchedFromRes = resources.getString(R.string.someStringFetchedFromRes)

Sometimes, you need to change the text based on a field in a model. So you would data-bind that model as well and since your activity/fragment knows about the model, you can very well fetch the value and then data-bind the string based on that.

Does "\d" in regex mean a digit?

In Python-style regex, \d matches any individual digit. If you're seeing something that doesn't seem to do that, please provide the full regex you're using, as opposed to just describing that one particular symbol.

>>> import re
>>> re.match(r'\d', '3')
<_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x02155B80>
>>> re.match(r'\d', '2')
<_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x02155BB8>
>>> re.match(r'\d', '1')
<_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x02155B80>

What is the behavior difference between return-path, reply-to and from?

Let's start with a simple example. Let's say you have an email list, that is going to send out the following RFC2822 content.

From: <[email protected]>
To: <[email protected]>
Subject: Super simple email
Reply-To: <[email protected]>

This is a very simple body.

Now, let's say you are going to send it from a mailing list, that implements VERP (or some other bounce tracking mechanism that uses a different return-path). Lets say it will have a return-path of [email protected]. The SMTP session might look like:

{S}220 workstation1 Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service
{C}HELO workstation1
{S}250 workstation1 Hello [127.0.0.1]
{C}MAIL FROM:<[email protected]>
{S}250 2.1.0 [email protected] OK
{C}RCPT TO:<[email protected]>
{S}250 2.1.5 [email protected] 
{C}DATA
{S}354 Start mail input; end with <CRLF>.<CRLF>
{C}From: <[email protected]>
To: <[email protected]>
Subject: Super simple email
Reply-To: <[email protected]>

This is a very simple body.
.

{S}250 Queued mail for delivery
{C}QUIT
{S}221 Service closing transmission channel

Where {C} and {S} represent Client and Server commands, respectively.

The recipient's mail would look like:

Return-Path: [email protected]
From: <[email protected]>
To: <[email protected]>
Subject: Super simple email
Reply-To: <[email protected]>

This is a very simple body.

Now, let's describe the different "FROM"s.

  1. The return path (sometimes called the reverse path, envelope sender, or envelope from — all of these terms can be used interchangeably) is the value used in the SMTP session in the MAIL FROM command. As you can see, this does not need to be the same value that is found in the message headers. Only the recipient's mail server is supposed to add a Return-Path header to the top of the email. This records the actual Return-Path sender during the SMTP session. If a Return-Path header already exists in the message, then that header is removed and replaced by the recipient's mail server.

All bounces that occur during the SMTP session should go back to the Return-Path address. Some servers may accept all email, and then queue it locally, until it has a free thread to deliver it to the recipient's mailbox. If the recipient doesn't exist, it should bounce it back to the recorded Return-Path value.

Note, not all mail servers obey this rule; Some mail servers will bounce it back to the FROM address.

  1. The FROM address is the value found in the FROM header. This is supposed to be who the message is FROM. This is what you see as the "FROM" in most mail clients. If an email does not have a Reply-To header, then all human (mail client) replies should go back to the FROM address.

  2. The Reply-To header is added by the sender (or the sender's software). It is where all human replies should be addressed too. Basically, when the user clicks "reply", the Reply-To value should be the value used as the recipient of the newly composed email. The Reply-To value should not be used by any server. It is meant for client-side (MUA) use only.

However, as you can tell, not all mail servers obey the RFC standards or recommendations.

Hopefully this should help clear things up. However, if I missed anything, let me know, and I'll try to answer.

JIRA JQL searching by date - is there a way of getting Today() (Date) instead of Now() (DateTime)

Just for the sake of keeping the information up-to-date, with at least JIRA 7.3.0 (maybe older as well) you can explicitly specify the date in multiple formats:

  • 'yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm';
  • 'yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm';
  • 'yyyy/MM/dd';
  • 'yyyy-MM-dd';
  • period format, e.g. '-5d', '4w 2d'.

Example:

updatedDate > '2018/06/09 0:00' and updatedDate < '2018/06/10 15:00'

C# Test if user has write access to a folder

Most of the answers here does not check for write access. It just check if the user/group can 'Read Permission' (Read the ACE list of the file/directory).

Also iterating through ACE and checking if it matches the Security Identifier does not work because the user can be a member of a group from which he might get/lose privilege. Worse than that is nested groups.

I know this is an old thread but there is a better way for any one looking now.

Provided the user has Read Permission privilege is, one can use the Authz API to check Effective access.

How to store JSON object in SQLite database

There is no data types for that.. You need to store it as VARCHAR or TEXT only.. jsonObject.toString();

How can I sanitize user input with PHP?

Never trust user data.

function clean_input($data) {
  $data = trim($data);
  $data = stripslashes($data);
  $data = htmlspecialchars($data);
  return $data;
}

The trim() function removes whitespace and other predefined characters from both sides of a string.

The stripslashes() function removes backslashes

The htmlspecialchars() function converts some predefined characters to HTML entities.

The predefined characters are:

& (ampersand) becomes &amp;
" (double quote) becomes &quot;
' (single quote) becomes &#039;
< (less than) becomes &lt;
> (greater than) becomes &gt;

Synchronization vs Lock

The main difference is fairness, in other words are requests handled FIFO or can there be barging? Method level synchronization ensures fair or FIFO allocation of the lock. Using

synchronized(foo) {
}

or

lock.acquire(); .....lock.release();

does not assure fairness.

If you have lots of contention for the lock you can easily encounter barging where newer requests get the lock and older requests get stuck. I've seen cases where 200 threads arrive in short order for a lock and the 2nd one to arrive got processed last. This is ok for some applications but for others it's deadly.

See Brian Goetz's "Java Concurrency In Practice" book, section 13.3 for a full discussion of this topic.

Why do people say that Ruby is slow?

Obviously, talking about speed Ruby loses. Even though benchmark tests suggest that Ruby is not so much slower than PHP. But in return, you are getting easy-to-maintain DRY code, the best out of all frameworks in various languages.

For a small project, you wont feel any slowness (I mean until like <50K users) given that no complex calculations are used in the code, just the mainstream stuff.

For a bigger project, paying for resources pays off and is cheaper than developer wages. In addition, writing code on RoR turns out to be much faster than any other.

In 2014 this magnitude of speed difference you're talking about is for most websites insignificant.

'RESTless' is a term not often used.

You can define 'RESTless' as any system that is not RESTful. For that it is enough to not have one characteristic that is required for a RESTful system.

Most systems are RESTless by this definition because they don't implement HATEOAS.

Create Directory When Writing To File In Node.js

Since I cannot comment yet, I'm posting an enhanced answer based on @tiago-peres-frança fantastic solution (thanks!). His code does not make directory in a case where only the last directory is missing in the path, e.g. the input is "C:/test/abc" and "C:/test" already exists. Here is a snippet that works:

function mkdirp(filepath) {
    var dirname = path.dirname(filepath);

    if (!fs.existsSync(dirname)) {
        mkdirp(dirname);
    }

    fs.mkdirSync(filepath);
}

This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol

This might not be relevant to your specific problem, but the error message you mentioned has many causes, one of them is using a return type for an [OperationContract] that is either abstract, interface, or not known to the WCF client code.

What exactly does an #if 0 ..... #endif block do?

Not only does it not get executed, it doesn't even get compiled.

#if is a preprocessor command, which gets evaluated before the actual compilation step. The code inside that block doesn't appear in the compiled binary.

It's often used for temporarily removing segments of code with the intention of turning them back on later.

JSON and XML comparison

Processing speed may not be the only relevant matter, however, as that's the question, here are some numbers in a benchmark: JSON vs. XML: Some hard numbers about verbosity. For the speed, in this simple benchmark, XML presents a 21% overhead over JSON.

An important note about the verbosity, which is as the article says, the most common complain: this is not so much relevant in practice (neither XML nor JSON data are typically handled by humans, but by machines), even if for the matter of speed, it requires some reasonable more time to compress.

Also, in this benchmark, a big amount of data was processed, and a typical web application won't transmit data chunks of such sizes, as big as 90MB, and compression may not be beneficial (for small enough data chunks, a compressed chunk will be bigger than the uncompressed chunk), so not applicable.

Still, if no compression is involved, JSON, as obviously terser, will weight less over the transmission channel, especially if transmitted through a WebSocket connection, where the absence of the classic HTTP overhead may make the difference at the advantage of JSON, even more significant.

After transmission, data is to be consumed, and this count in the overall processing time. If big or complex enough data are to be transmitted, the lack of a schema automatically checked for by a validating XML parser, may require more check on JSON data; these checks would have to be executed in JavaScript, which is not known to be particularly fast, and so it may present an additional overhead over XML in such cases.

Anyway, only testing will provides the answer for your particular use-case (if speed is really the only matter, and not standard nor safety nor integrity…).

Update 1: worth to mention, is EXI, the binary XML format, which offers compression at less cost than using Gzip, and save processing otherwise needed to decompress compressed XML. EXI is to XML, what BSON is to JSON. Have a quick overview here, with some reference to efficiency in both space and time: EXI: The last binary standard?.

Update 2: there also exists a binary XML performance reports, conducted by the W3C, as efficiency and low memory and CPU footprint, is also a matter for the XML area too: Efficient XML Interchange Evaluation.

Update 2015-03-01

Worth to be noticed in this context, as HTTP overhead was raised as an issue: the IANA has registered the EXI encoding (the efficient binary XML mentioned above), as a a Content Coding for the HTTP protocol (alongside with compress, deflate and gzip). This means EXI is an option which can be expected to be understood by browsers among possibly other HTTP clients. See Hypertext Transfer Protocol Parameters (iana.org).

How to configure log4j.properties for SpringJUnit4ClassRunner?

I have the log4j.properties configured properly. That's not the problem. After a while I discovered that the problem was in Eclipse IDE which had an old build in "cache" and didn't create a new one (Maven dependecy problem). I had to build the project manually and now it works.

syntaxerror: unexpected character after line continuation character in python

You need to quote that filename:

f = open("D\\python\\HW\\2_1 - Copy.cp", "r")

Otherwise the bare backslash after the D is interpreted as a line-continuation character, and should be followed by a newline. This is used to extend long expressions over multiple lines, for readability:

print "This is a long",\
      "line of text",\
      "that I'm printing."

Also, you shouldn't have semicolons (;) at the end of your statements in Python.

List attributes of an object

What do you want this for? It may be hard to get you the best answer without knowing your exact intent.

  • It is almost always better to do this manually if you want to display an instance of your class in a specific way. This will include exactly what you want and not include what you don't want, and the order will be predictable.

    If you are looking for a way to display the content of a class, manually format the attributes you care about and provide this as the __str__ or __repr__ method for your class.

  • If you want to learn about what methods and such exist for an object to understand how it works, use help. help(a) will show you a formatted output about the object's class based on its docstrings.

  • dir exists for programatically getting all the attributes of an object. (Accessing __dict__ does something I would group as the same but that I wouldn't use myself.) However, this may not include things you want and it may include things you do not want. It is unreliable and people think they want it a lot more often than they do.

  • On a somewhat orthogonal note, there is very little support for Python 3 at the current time. If you are interested in writing real software you are going to want third-party stuff like numpy, lxml, Twisted, PIL, or any number of web frameworks that do not yet support Python 3 and do not have plans to any time too soon. The differences between 2.6 and the 3.x branch are small, but the difference in library support is huge.

Select from one table where not in another

So there's loads of posts on the web that show how to do this, I've found 3 ways, same as pointed out by Johan & Sjoerd. I couldn't get any of these queries to work, well obviously they work fine it's my database that's not working correctly and those queries all ran slow.

So I worked out another way that someone else may find useful:

The basic jist of it is to create a temporary table and fill it with all the information, then remove all the rows that ARE in the other table.

So I did these 3 queries, and it ran quickly (in a couple moments).

CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE

`database1`.`newRows`

SELECT

`t1`.`id` AS `columnID`

FROM

`database2`.`table` AS `t1`

.

CREATE INDEX `columnID` ON `database1`.`newRows`(`columnID`)

.

DELETE FROM `database1`.`newRows`

WHERE

EXISTS(
    SELECT `columnID` FROM `database1`.`product_details` WHERE `columnID`=`database1`.`newRows`.`columnID`
)

Django optional url parameters

You can use nested routes

Django <1.8

urlpatterns = patterns(''
    url(r'^project_config/', include(patterns('',
        url(r'^$', ProjectConfigView.as_view(), name="project_config")
        url(r'^(?P<product>\w+)$', include(patterns('',
            url(r'^$', ProductView.as_view(), name="product"),
            url(r'^(?P<project_id>\w+)$', ProjectDetailView.as_view(), name="project_detail")
        ))),
    ))),
)

Django >=1.8

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^project_config/', include([
        url(r'^$', ProjectConfigView.as_view(), name="project_config")
        url(r'^(?P<product>\w+)$', include([
            url(r'^$', ProductView.as_view(), name="product"),
            url(r'^(?P<project_id>\w+)$', ProjectDetailView.as_view(), name="project_detail")
        ])),
    ])),
]

This is a lot more DRY (Say you wanted to rename the product kwarg to product_id, you only have to change line 4, and it will affect the below URLs.

Edited for Django 1.8 and above

How to Display blob (.pdf) in an AngularJS app

First of all you need to set the responseType to arraybuffer. This is required if you want to create a blob of your data. See Sending_and_Receiving_Binary_Data. So your code will look like this:

$http.post('/postUrlHere',{myParams}, {responseType:'arraybuffer'})
  .success(function (response) {
       var file = new Blob([response], {type: 'application/pdf'});
       var fileURL = URL.createObjectURL(file);
});

The next part is, you need to use the $sce service to make angular trust your url. This can be done in this way:

$scope.content = $sce.trustAsResourceUrl(fileURL);

Do not forget to inject the $sce service.

If this is all done you can now embed your pdf:

<embed ng-src="{{content}}" style="width:200px;height:200px;"></embed>

How do I download a file with Angular2 or greater

This answer suggests that you cannot download files directly with AJAX, primarily for security reasons. So I'll describe what I do in this situation,

01. Add href attribute in your anchor tag inside the component.html file,
eg:-

<div>
       <a [href]="fileUrl" mat-raised-button (click)='getGenaratedLetterTemplate(element)'> GENARATE </a>
</div>

02. Do all following steps in your component.ts to bypass the security level and bring the save as popup dialog,
eg:-

import { environment } from 'environments/environment';
import { DomSanitizer } from '@angular/platform-browser';
export class ViewHrApprovalComponent implements OnInit {
private apiUrl = environment.apiUrl;
  fileUrl
 constructor(
    private sanitizer: DomSanitizer,
    private letterService: LetterService) {}
getGenaratedLetterTemplate(letter) {

    this.data.getGenaratedLetterTemplate(letter.letterId).subscribe(
      // cannot download files directly with AJAX, primarily for security reasons);
    console.log(this.apiUrl + 'getGeneratedLetter/' + letter.letterId);
    this.fileUrl = this.sanitizer.bypassSecurityTrustResourceUrl(this.apiUrl + 'getGeneratedLetter/' + letter.letterId);
  }

Note: This answer will work if you are getting an error "OK" with status code 200

Regular expression to match balanced parentheses

I didn't use regex since it is difficult to deal with nested code. So this snippet should be able to allow you to grab sections of code with balanced brackets:

def extract_code(data):
    """ returns an array of code snippets from a string (data)"""
    start_pos = None
    end_pos = None
    count_open = 0
    count_close = 0
    code_snippets = []
    for i,v in enumerate(data):
        if v =='{':
            count_open+=1
            if not start_pos:
                start_pos= i
        if v=='}':
            count_close +=1
            if count_open == count_close and not end_pos:
                end_pos = i+1
        if start_pos and end_pos:
            code_snippets.append((start_pos,end_pos))
            start_pos = None
            end_pos = None

    return code_snippets

I used this to extract code snippets from a text file.

Concatenating variables and strings in React

You're almost correct, just misplaced a few quotes. Wrapping the whole thing in regular quotes will literally give you the string #demo + {this.state.id} - you need to indicate which are variables and which are string literals. Since anything inside {} is an inline JSX expression, you can do:

href={"#demo" + this.state.id}

This will use the string literal #demo and concatenate it to the value of this.state.id. This can then be applied to all strings. Consider this:

var text = "world";

And this:

{"Hello " + text + " Andrew"}

This will yield:

Hello world Andrew 

You can also use ES6 string interpolation/template literals with ` (backticks) and ${expr} (interpolated expression), which is closer to what you seem to be trying to do:

href={`#demo${this.state.id}`}

This will basically substitute the value of this.state.id, concatenating it to #demo. It is equivalent to doing: "#demo" + this.state.id.

Build the full path filename in Python

If you are fortunate enough to be running Python 3.4+, you can use pathlib:

>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> dirname = '/home/reports'
>>> filename = 'daily'
>>> suffix = '.pdf'
>>> Path(dirname, filename).with_suffix(suffix)
PosixPath('/home/reports/daily.pdf')

All combinations of a list of lists

One can use base python for this. The code needs a function to flatten lists of lists:

def flatten(B):    # function needed for code below;
    A = []
    for i in B:
        if type(i) == list: A.extend(i)
        else: A.append(i)
    return A

Then one can run:

L = [[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9,10]]

outlist =[]; templist =[[]]
for sublist in L:
    outlist = templist; templist = [[]]
    for sitem in sublist:
        for oitem in outlist:
            newitem = [oitem]
            if newitem == [[]]: newitem = [sitem]
            else: newitem = [newitem[0], sitem]
            templist.append(flatten(newitem))

outlist = list(filter(lambda x: len(x)==len(L), templist))  # remove some partial lists that also creep in;
print(outlist)

Output:

[[1, 4, 7], [2, 4, 7], [3, 4, 7], 
[1, 5, 7], [2, 5, 7], [3, 5, 7], 
[1, 6, 7], [2, 6, 7], [3, 6, 7], 
[1, 4, 8], [2, 4, 8], [3, 4, 8], 
[1, 5, 8], [2, 5, 8], [3, 5, 8], 
[1, 6, 8], [2, 6, 8], [3, 6, 8], 
[1, 4, 9], [2, 4, 9], [3, 4, 9], 
[1, 5, 9], [2, 5, 9], [3, 5, 9], 
[1, 6, 9], [2, 6, 9], [3, 6, 9], 
[1, 4, 10], [2, 4, 10], [3, 4, 10], 
[1, 5, 10], [2, 5, 10], [3, 5, 10], 
[1, 6, 10], [2, 6, 10], [3, 6, 10]]

Angular no provider for NameService

In Angular v2 and up it is now:

@Component({ selector:'my-app', providers: [NameService], template: ... })

Set cookies for cross origin requests

Note for Chrome Browser released in 2020.

A future release of Chrome will only deliver cookies with cross-site requests if they are set with SameSite=None and Secure.

So if your backend server does not set SameSite=None, Chrome will use SameSite=Lax by default and will not use this cookie with { withCredentials: true } requests.

More info https://www.chromium.org/updates/same-site.

Firefox and Edge developers also want to release this feature in the future.

Spec found here: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-west-cookie-incrementalism-01#page-8
