How to install and run Typescript locally in npm?

tsc requires a config file or .ts(x) files to compile.

To solve both of your issues, create a file called tsconfig.json with the following contents:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "outFile": "../../built/local/tsc.js"
    },
    "exclude": [
        "node_modules"
    ]
}

Also, modify your npm run with this

tsc --config /path/to/a/tsconfig.json

Why is it common to put CSRF prevention tokens in cookies?

My best guess as to the answer: Consider these 3 options for how to get the CSRF token down from the server to the browser.

  1. In the request body (not an HTTP header).
  2. In a custom HTTP header, not Set-Cookie.
  3. As a cookie, in a Set-Cookie header.

I think the 1st one, request body (while demonstrated by the Express tutorial I linked in the question), is not as portable to a wide variety of situations; not everyone is generating every HTTP response dynamically; where you end up needing to put the token in the generated response might vary widely (in a hidden form input; in a fragment of JS code or a variable accessible by other JS code; maybe even in a URL though that seems generally a bad place to put CSRF tokens). So while workable with some customization, #1 is a hard place to do a one-size-fits-all approach.

The second one, custom header, is attractive but doesn't actually work, because while JS can get the headers for an XHR it invoked, it can't get the headers for the page it loaded from.

That leaves the third one, a cookie carried by a Set-Cookie header, as an approach that is easy to use in all situations (anyone's server will be able to set per-request cookie headers, and it doesn't matter what kind of data is in the request body). So despite its downsides, it was the easiest method for frameworks to implement widely.

Language Books/Tutorials for popular languages

The reference you have listed for Ruby is for Ruby on Rails. While still ruby deep down, it is definitely not a place to start for people wanting to learn Ruby.

For Ruby tutorials, I would suggest Why's (Poignant) Guide to Ruby as a great starting point for anyone interested in the language.

If you would want to get into more detail, I would recommend the book Programming Ruby, which has become the standard for all things Ruby. The third edition is currently being written, highlighting Ruby 1.9 features, so I would hold off for a while if anyone is considering buying this book.

Angular 2 router no base href set

https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/guide/router.html

Add the base element just after the <head> tag. If the app folder is the application root, as it is for our application, set the href value exactly as shown here.

The <base href="/"> tells the Angular router what is the static part of the URL. The router then only modifies the remaining part of the URL.

<head>
  <base href="/">
  ...
</head>

Alternatively add

>= Angular2 RC.6

import {APP_BASE_HREF} from '@angular/common';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [AppComponent],
  imports: [routing /* or RouterModule */], 
  providers: [{provide: APP_BASE_HREF, useValue : '/' }]
]); 

in your bootstrap.

In older versions the imports had to be like

< Angular2 RC.6

import {APP_BASE_HREF} from '@angular/common';
bootstrap(AppComponent, [
  ROUTER_PROVIDERS, 
  {provide: APP_BASE_HREF, useValue : '/' });
]); 

< RC.0

import {provide} from 'angular2/core';
bootstrap(AppComponent, [
  ROUTER_PROVIDERS, 
  provide(APP_BASE_HREF, {useValue : '/' });
]); 

< beta.17

import {APP_BASE_HREF} from 'angular2/router';

>= beta.17

import {APP_BASE_HREF} from 'angular2/platform/common';

Receiving "Attempted import error:" in react app

I guess I am coming late, but this info might be useful to anyone I found out something, which might be simple but important. if you use export on a function directly i.e

export const addPost = (id) =>{
  ...
 }

Note while importing you need to wrap it in curly braces i.e. import {addPost} from '../URL';

But when using export default i.e

const addPost = (id) =>{
  ...
 }

export default addPost,

Then you can import without curly braces i.e. import addPost from '../url';

export default addPost

I hope this helps anyone who got confused as me.

better way to drop nan rows in pandas

To remove rows based on Nan value of particular column:

d= pd.DataFrame([[2,3],[4,None]])   #creating data frame
d
Output:
    0   1
0   2   3.0
1   4   NaN
d = d[np.isfinite(d[1])]  #Select rows where value of 1st column is not nan
d

Output:
    0   1
0   2   3.0

How to import local packages in go?

Well, I figured out the problem. Basically Go starting path for import is $HOME/go/src

So I just needed to add myapp in front of the package names, that is, the import should be:

import (
    "log"
    "net/http"
    "myapp/common"
    "myapp/routers"
)

Embed YouTube video - Refused to display in a frame because it set 'X-Frame-Options' to 'SAMEORIGIN'

In C#, how to check if a TCP port is available?

You're on the wrong end of the Intertube. It is the server that can have only one particular port open. Some code:

  IPAddress ipAddress = Dns.GetHostEntry("localhost").AddressList[0];
  try {
    TcpListener tcpListener = new TcpListener(ipAddress, 666);
    tcpListener.Start();
  }
  catch (SocketException ex) {
    MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "kaboom");
  }

Fails with:

Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted.

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64.encodeBase64String() in Java EE application

That method was introduced in Commons Codec 1.4. This exception indicates that you've an older version of Commons Codec somewhere else in the webapp's runtime classpath which got precedence in classloading. Check all paths covered by the webapp's runtime classpath. This includes among others the Webapp/WEB-INF/lib, YourAppServer/lib, JRE/lib and JRE/lib/ext. Finally remove or upgrade the offending older version.


Update: as per the comments, you can't seem to locate it. I can only suggest to outcomment the code using that newer method and then put the following line in place:

System.out.println(Base64.class.getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation());

That should print the absolute path to the JAR file where it was been loaded from during runtime.


Update 2: this did seem to point to the right file. Sorry, I can't explain your problem anymore right now. All I can suggest is to use a different Base64 method like encodeBase64(byte[]) and then just construct a new String(bytes) yourself. Or you could drop that library and use a different Base64 encoder, for example this one.

Correct way to find max in an Array in Swift

Given:

let numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Swift 3:

numbers.min() // equals 1
numbers.max() // equals 5

Swift 2:

numbers.minElement() // equals 1
numbers.maxElement() // equals 5

How to load CSS Asynchronously

The function below will create and add to the document all the stylesheets that you wish to load asynchronously. (But, thanks to the Event Listener, it will only do so after all the window's other resources have loaded.)

See the following:

function loadAsyncStyleSheets() {

    var asyncStyleSheets = [
    '/stylesheets/async-stylesheet-1.css',
    '/stylesheets/async-stylesheet-2.css'
    ];

    for (var i = 0; i < asyncStyleSheets.length; i++) {
        var link = document.createElement('link');
        link.setAttribute('rel', 'stylesheet');
        link.setAttribute('href', asyncStyleSheets[i]);
        document.head.appendChild(link);
    }
}

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

Which is the preferred way to concatenate a string in Python?

my use case was slight different. I had to construct a query where more then 20 fields were dynamic. I followed this approach of using format method

query = "insert into {0}({1},{2},{3}) values({4}, {5}, {6})"
query.format('users','name','age','dna','suzan',1010,'nda')

this was comparatively simpler for me instead of using + or other ways

How do I split a string so I can access item x?

Well, mine isn't all that simpler, but here is the code I use to split a comma-delimited input variable into individual values, and put it into a table variable. I'm sure you could modify this slightly to split based on a space and then to do a basic SELECT query against that table variable to get your results.

-- Create temporary table to parse the list of accounting cycles.
DECLARE @tblAccountingCycles table
(
    AccountingCycle varchar(10)
)

DECLARE @vchAccountingCycle varchar(10)
DECLARE @intPosition int

SET @vchAccountingCycleIDs = LTRIM(RTRIM(@vchAccountingCycleIDs)) + ','
SET @intPosition = CHARINDEX(',', @vchAccountingCycleIDs, 1)

IF REPLACE(@vchAccountingCycleIDs, ',', '') <> ''
BEGIN
    WHILE @intPosition > 0
    BEGIN
        SET @vchAccountingCycle = LTRIM(RTRIM(LEFT(@vchAccountingCycleIDs, @intPosition - 1)))
        IF @vchAccountingCycle <> ''
        BEGIN
            INSERT INTO @tblAccountingCycles (AccountingCycle) VALUES (@vchAccountingCycle)
        END
        SET @vchAccountingCycleIDs = RIGHT(@vchAccountingCycleIDs, LEN(@vchAccountingCycleIDs) - @intPosition)
        SET @intPosition = CHARINDEX(',', @vchAccountingCycleIDs, 1)
    END
END

The concept is pretty much the same. One other alternative is to leverage the .NET compatibility within SQL Server 2005 itself. You can essentially write yourself a simple method in .NET that would split the string and then expose that as a stored procedure/function.

Event handlers for Twitter Bootstrap dropdowns?

Here is a working example of how you could implement custom functions for your anchors.

http://jsfiddle.net/CH2NZ/43/

You can attach an id to your anchor:

<li><a id="alertMe" href="#">Action</a></li>

And then use jQuery's click event listener to listen for the click action and fire you function:

$('#alertMe').click(function(e) {
    alert('alerted');
    e.preventDefault();// prevent the default anchor functionality
});

Android: Background Image Size (in Pixel) which Support All Devices

GIMP tool is exactly what you need to create the images for different pixel resolution devices.

Follow these steps:

  1. Open the existing image in GIMP tool.
  2. Go to "Image" menu, and select "Scale Image..."
  3. Use below pixel dimension that you need:

    xxxhdpi: 1280x1920 px

    xxhdpi: 960x1600 px

    xhdpi: 640x960 px

    hdpi: 480x800 px

    mdpi: 320x480 px

    ldpi: 240x320 px

  4. Then "Export" the image from "File" menu.

How can I set the form action through JavaScript?

Plain JavaScript:

document.getElementById('form_id').action; //Will retrieve it

document.getElementById('form_id').action = "script.php"; //Will set it

Using jQuery...

$("#form_id").attr("action"); //Will retrieve it

$("#form_id").attr("action", "/script.php"); //Will set it

Python unittest passing arguments

This is my solution:

# your test class
class TestingClass(unittest.TestCase):
    
    # This will only run once for all the tests within this class
    @classmethod
    def setUpClass(cls) -> None:
       if len(sys.argv) > 1:
          cls.email = sys.argv[1]

    def testEmails(self):
        assertEqual(self.email, "[email protected]")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    unittest.main()

you could have a runner.py file with something like this:

# your runner.py
loader = unittest.TestLoader()
tests = loader.discover('.') # note that this will find all your tests, you can also provide the name of the package e.g. `loader.discover('tests')
runner = unittest.TextTestRunner(verbose=3)
result = runner.run(tests


with the above code, you should be to run your tests with runner.py [email protected]

JAVA_HOME and PATH are set but java -version still shows the old one

In Linux Mint 18 Cinnamon be sure to check /etc/profile.d/jdk_home.sh I renamed this file to jdk_home.sh.old and now my path does not keep getting overridden and I can call java -version and see Java 9 as expected. Even though I correctly selected Java 9 in update-aternatives --config java this jdk_home.sh file kept overriding the $PATH on boot-up.

PHP file_get_contents() and setting request headers

You can use this variable to retrieve response headers after file_get_contents() function.

Resetting MySQL Root Password with XAMPP on Localhost

SIMPLE STRAIGHT FORWARD WORKING SOLUTION AND OUT OF THE BOX:

1 - Start the Apache Server and MySQL instances from the XAMPP control panel.

2 - After the server started, open any web browser and give http://localhost/phpmyadmin/. This will open the phpMyAdmin interface. Using this interface we can manage the MySQL server from the web browser.

3 - In the phpMyAdmin window, select SQL tab from the top panel. This will open the SQL tab where we can run the SQL queries.

4 - Now type the following query in the text area and click Go

UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('password') WHERE User='root'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

5 - Now you will see a message saying some thing like: the query has been executed successfully.

6 - If you refresh the page, you will be getting a error message. This is because the phpMyAdmin configuration file is not aware of our newly set root passoword. To do this we have to modify the phpMyAdmin config file.

7 - Open the file [XAMPP Installation Path]/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php in your favorite text editor (e.g: C:\xampp\phpMyAdmin\config.inc.php).

8 - Search for the string

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = '';

and change it to like this,

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = 'password';

Here the ‘password’ is what we set to the root user using the SQL query.

9 - Now all set to go. Save the config.inc.php file and restart the XAMPP apache and mysql servers. It should work!

How can I require at least one checkbox be checked before a form can be submitted?

You can either do this on a PHP level or on a Javascript level. If you use Javascript, and/or JQuery, you can check and validate if all the checkboxes are checked with a selector...

Jquery also offers several validation libraries. Check out: http://jqueryvalidation.org/

The problem with using Javascript to validate is that it may be bypassed so it is wise to check on the server too.

Example using PHP and assuming you are calling a PO

<?php
    if( $_GET["BoxSelect"] )
 {
     //Process your form here
     // Save to database, send email, redirect...
} else {

     // Return an error and do not anything
     echo "Checkbox is missing"; 


     exit();
 }
?>

How to install mcrypt extension in xampp

First, you should download the suitable version for your system from here: https://pecl.php.net/package/mcrypt/1.0.3/windows

Then, you should copy php_mcrypt.dll to ../xampp/php/ext/ and enable the extension by adding extension=mcrypt to your xampp/php/php.ini file.

Check for null variable in Windows batch

Both answers given are correct, but I do mine a little different. You might want to consider a couple things...

Start the batch with:

SetLocal

and end it with

EndLocal

This will keep all your 'SETs" to be only valid during the current session, and will not leave vars left around named like "FileName1" or any other variables you set during the run, that could interfere with the next run of the batch file. So, you can do something like:

IF "%1"=="" SET FileName1=c:\file1.txt

The other trick is if you only provide 1, or 2 parameters, use the SHIFT command to move them, so the one you are looking for is ALWAYS at %1...

For example, process the first parameter, shift them, and then do it again. This way, you are not hard-coding %1, %2, %3, etc...

The Windows batch processor is much more powerful than people give it credit for.. I've done some crazy stuff with it, including calculating yesterday's date, even across month and year boundaries including Leap Year, and localization, etc.

If you really want to get creative, you can call functions in the batch processor... But that's really for a different discussion... :)

Oh, and don't name your batch files .bat either.. They are .cmd's now.. heh..

Hope this helps.

Setting paper size in FPDF

They say it right there in the documentation for the FPDF constructor:

FPDF([string orientation [, string unit [, mixed size]]])

This is the class constructor. It allows to set up the page size, the orientation and the unit of measure used in all methods (except for font sizes). Parameters ...

size

The size used for pages. It can be either one of the following values (case insensitive):

A3 A4 A5 Letter Legal

or an array containing the width and the height (expressed in the unit given by unit).

They even give an example with custom size:

Example with a custom 100x150 mm page size:

$pdf = new FPDF('P','mm',array(100,150));

How long to brute force a salted SHA-512 hash? (salt provided)

I want to know the time to brute force for when the password is a dictionary word and also when it is not a dictionary word.

Dictionary password

Ballpark figure: there are about 1,000,000 English words, and if a hacker can compute about 10,000 SHA-512 hashes a second (update: see comment by CodesInChaos, this estimate is very low), 1,000,000 / 10,000 = 100 seconds. So it would take just over a minute to crack a single-word dictionary password for a single user. If the user concatenates two dictionary words, you're in the area of a few days, but still very possible if the attacker is cares enough. More than that and it starts getting tough.

Random password

If the password is a truly random sequence of alpha-numeric characters, upper and lower case, then the number of possible passwords of length N is 60^N (there are 60 possible characters). We'll do the calculation the other direction this time; we'll ask: What length of password could we crack given a specific length of time? Just use this formula:

N = Log60(t * 10,000) where t is the time spent calculating hashes in seconds (again assuming 10,000 hashes a second).

1 minute:    3.2
5 minute:    3.6
30 minutes:  4.1
2 hours:     4.4
3 days:      5.2

So given a 3 days we'd be able to crack the password if it's 5 characters long.

This is all very ball-park, but you get the idea. Update: see comment below, it's actually possible to crack much longer passwords than this.

What's going on here?

Let's clear up some misconceptions:

  • The salt doesn't make it slower to calculate hashes, it just means they have to crack each user's password individually, and pre-computed hash tables (buzz-word: rainbow tables) are made completely useless. If you don't have a precomputed hash-table, and you're only cracking one password hash, salting doesn't make any difference.

  • SHA-512 isn't designed to be hard to brute-force. Better hashing algorithms like BCrypt, PBKDF2 or SCrypt can be configured to take much longer to compute, and an average computer might only be able to compute 10-20 hashes a second. Read This excellent answer about password hashing if you haven't already.

  • update: As written in the comment by CodesInChaos, even high entropy passwords (around 10 characters) could be bruteforced if using the right hardware to calculate SHA-512 hashes.


Notes on accepted answer:

The accepted answer as of September 2014 is incorrect and dangerously wrong:

In your case, breaking the hash algorithm is equivalent to finding a collision in the hash algorithm. That means you don't need to find the password itself (which would be a preimage attack)... Finding a collision using a birthday attack takes O(2^n/2) time, where n is the output length of the hash function in bits.

The birthday attack is completely irrelevant to cracking a given hash. And this is in fact a perfect example of a preimage attack. That formula and the next couple of paragraphs result in dangerously high and completely meaningless values for an attack time. As demonstrated above it's perfectly possible to crack salted dictionary passwords in minutes.

The low entropy of typical passwords makes it possible that there is a relatively high chance of one of your users using a password from a relatively small database of common passwords...

That's why generally hashing and salting alone is not enough, you need to install other safety mechanisms as well. You should use an artificially slowed down entropy-enducing method such as PBKDF2 described in PKCS#5...

Yes, please use an algorithm that is slow to compute, but what is "entropy-enducing"? Putting a low entropy password through a hash doesn't increase entropy. It should preserve entropy, but you can't make a rubbish password better with a hash, it doesn't work like that. A weak password put through PBKDF2 is still a weak password.

Use and meaning of "in" in an if statement?

Here raw_input is string, so if you wanted to check, if var>3 then you should convert next to double, ie float(next) and do as you would do if float(next)>3:, but in most cases

Create html documentation for C# code

This page might interest you: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/dd722812.aspx

You can generate the XML documentation file using either the command-line compiler or through the Visual Studio interface. If you are compiling with the command-line compiler, use options /doc or /doc+. That will generate an XML file by the same name and in the same path as the assembly. To specify a different file name, use /doc:file.

If you are using the Visual Studio interface, there's a setting that controls whether the XML documentation file is generated. To set it, double-click My Project in Solution Explorer to open the Project Designer. Navigate to the Compile tab. Find "Generate XML documentation file" at the bottom of the window, and make sure it is checked. By default this setting is on. It generates an XML file using the same name and path as the assembly.

Best way to remove the last character from a string built with stringbuilder

I recommend, you change your loop algorithm:

  • Add the comma not AFTER the item, but BEFORE
  • Use a boolean variable, that starts with false, do suppress the first comma
  • Set this boolean variable to true after testing it

The best way to use is white-space: nowrap; This will align the text to one line.

How to AUTO_INCREMENT in db2?

Added a few optional parameters for creating "future safe" sequences.

CREATE SEQUENCE <NAME>
  START WITH 1
  INCREMENT BY 1
  NO MAXVALUE
  NO CYCLE
  CACHE 10;

Most efficient way to increment a Map value in Java

Another way would be creating a mutable integer:

class MutableInt {
  int value = 0;
  public void inc () { ++value; }
  public int get () { return value; }
}
...
Map<String,MutableInt> map = new HashMap<String,MutableInt> ();
MutableInt value = map.get (key);
if (value == null) {
  value = new MutableInt ();
  map.put (key, value);
} else {
  value.inc ();
}

of course this implies creating an additional object but the overhead in comparison to creating an Integer (even with Integer.valueOf) should not be so much.

How do I get the application exit code from a Windows command line?

A pseudo environment variable named errorlevel stores the exit code:

echo Exit Code is %errorlevel%

Also, the if command has a special syntax:

if errorlevel

See if /? for details.

Example

@echo off
my_nify_exe.exe
if errorlevel 1 (
   echo Failure Reason Given is %errorlevel%
   exit /b %errorlevel%
)

Warning: If you set an environment variable name errorlevel, %errorlevel% will return that value and not the exit code. Use (set errorlevel=) to clear the environment variable, allowing access to the true value of errorlevel via the %errorlevel% environment variable.

Are one-line 'if'/'for'-statements good Python style?

This is an example of "if else" with actions.

>>> def fun(num):
    print 'This is %d' % num
>>> fun(10) if 10 > 0 else fun(2)
this is 10
OR
>>> fun(10) if 10 < 0 else 1
1

How can you customize the numbers in an ordered list?

You can also specify your own numbers in the HTML - e.g. if the numbers are being provided by a database:

_x000D_
_x000D_
ol {_x000D_
  list-style: none;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
ol>li:before {_x000D_
  content: attr(seq) ". ";_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<ol>_x000D_
  <li seq="1">Item one</li>_x000D_
  <li seq="20">Item twenty</li>_x000D_
  <li seq="300">Item three hundred</li>_x000D_
</ol>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

The seq attribute is made visible using a method similar to that given in other answers. But instead of using content: counter(foo), we use content: attr(seq).

Have you looked at the poorly obfuscated API?

Nevermind:

HSSF is the POI Project's pure Java implementation of the Excel '97(-2007) file format. It does not support the new Excel 2007 .xlsx OOXML file format, which is not OLE2 based.

You might consider using a JDBC-ODBC bridge instead.

How to use http.client in Node.js if there is basic authorization

var username = "Ali";
var password = "123";
var auth = "Basic " + new Buffer(username + ":" + password).toString("base64");
var request = require('request');
var url = "http://localhost:5647/contact/session/";

request.get( {
    url : url,
    headers : {
        "Authorization" : auth
    }
  }, function(error, response, body) {
      console.log('body : ', body);
  } );

Parse an URL in JavaScript

This should fix a few edge-cases in kobe's answer:

function getQueryParam(url, key) {
  var queryStartPos = url.indexOf('?');
  if (queryStartPos === -1) {
    return;
  }
  var params = url.substring(queryStartPos + 1).split('&');
  for (var i = 0; i < params.length; i++) {
    var pairs = params[i].split('=');
    if (decodeURIComponent(pairs.shift()) == key) {
      return decodeURIComponent(pairs.join('='));
    }
  }
}

getQueryParam('http://example.com/form_image_edit.php?img_id=33', 'img_id');
// outputs "33"

assign value using linq

using Linq would be:

 listOfCompany.Where(c=> c.id == 1).FirstOrDefault().Name = "Whatever Name";

UPDATE

This can be simplified to be...

 listOfCompany.FirstOrDefault(c=> c.id == 1).Name = "Whatever Name";

UPDATE

For multiple items (condition is met by multiple items):

 listOfCompany.Where(c=> c.id == 1).ToList().ForEach(cc => cc.Name = "Whatever Name");

How to make the HTML link activated by clicking on the <li>?

You could try an "onclick" event inside the LI tag, and change the "location.href" as in javascript.

You could also try placing the li tags within the a tags, however this is probably not valid HTML.

Is it possible to capture the stdout from the sh DSL command in the pipeline

You can try to use as well this functions to capture StdErr StdOut and return code.

def runShell(String command){
    def responseCode = sh returnStatus: true, script: "${command} &> tmp.txt" 
    def output =  readFile(file: "tmp.txt")

    if (responseCode != 0){
      println "[ERROR] ${output}"
      throw new Exception("${output}")
    }else{
      return "${output}"
    }
}

Notice:

&>name means 1>name 2>name -- redirect stdout and stderr to the file name

Finding rows that don't contain numeric data in Oracle

After doing some testing, building upon the suggestions in the previous answers, there seem to be two usable solutions.

Method 1 is fastest, but less powerful in terms of matching more complex patterns.
Method 2 is more flexible, but slower.

Method 1 - fastest
I've tested this method on a table with 1 million rows.
It seems to be 3.8 times faster than the regex solutions.
The 0-replacement solves the issue that 0 is mapped to a space, and does not seem to slow down the query.

SELECT *
FROM <table>
WHERE TRANSLATE(replace(<char_column>,'0',''),'0123456789',' ') IS NOT NULL;

Method 2 - slower, but more flexible
I've compared the speed of putting the negation inside or outside the regex statement. Both are equally slower than the translate-solution. As a result, @ciuly's approach seems most sensible when using regex.

SELECT *
FROM <table>
WHERE NOT REGEXP_LIKE(<char_column>, '^[0-9]+$');

Dynamic constant assignment

Because constants in Ruby aren't meant to be changed, Ruby discourages you from assigning to them in parts of code which might get executed more than once, such as inside methods.

Under normal circumstances, you should define the constant inside the class itself:

class MyClass
  MY_CONSTANT = "foo"
end

MyClass::MY_CONSTANT #=> "foo"

If for some reason though you really do need to define a constant inside a method (perhaps for some type of metaprogramming), you can use const_set:

class MyClass
  def my_method
    self.class.const_set(:MY_CONSTANT, "foo")
  end
end

MyClass::MY_CONSTANT
#=> NameError: uninitialized constant MyClass::MY_CONSTANT

MyClass.new.my_method
MyClass::MY_CONSTANT #=> "foo"

Again though, const_set isn't something you should really have to resort to under normal circumstances. If you're not sure whether you really want to be assigning to constants this way, you may want to consider one of the following alternatives:

Class variables

Class variables behave like constants in many ways. They are properties on a class, and they are accessible in subclasses of the class they are defined on.

The difference is that class variables are meant to be modifiable, and can therefore be assigned to inside methods with no issue.

class MyClass
  def self.my_class_variable
    @@my_class_variable
  end
  def my_method
    @@my_class_variable = "foo"
  end
end
class SubClass < MyClass
end

MyClass.my_class_variable
#=> NameError: uninitialized class variable @@my_class_variable in MyClass
SubClass.my_class_variable
#=> NameError: uninitialized class variable @@my_class_variable in MyClass

MyClass.new.my_method
MyClass.my_class_variable #=> "foo"
SubClass.my_class_variable #=> "foo"

Class attributes

Class attributes are a sort of "instance variable on a class". They behave a bit like class variables, except that their values are not shared with subclasses.

class MyClass
  class << self
    attr_accessor :my_class_attribute
  end
  def my_method
    self.class.my_class_attribute = "blah"
  end
end
class SubClass < MyClass
end

MyClass.my_class_attribute #=> nil
SubClass.my_class_attribute #=> nil

MyClass.new.my_method
MyClass.my_class_attribute #=> "blah"
SubClass.my_class_attribute #=> nil

SubClass.new.my_method
SubClass.my_class_attribute #=> "blah"

Instance variables

And just for completeness I should probably mention: if you need to assign a value which can only be determined after your class has been instantiated, there's a good chance you might actually be looking for a plain old instance variable.

class MyClass
  attr_accessor :instance_variable
  def my_method
    @instance_variable = "blah"
  end
end

my_object = MyClass.new
my_object.instance_variable #=> nil
my_object.my_method
my_object.instance_variable #=> "blah"

MyClass.new.instance_variable #=> nil

Setting environment variables in Linux using Bash

The reason people often suggest writing

VAR=value
export VAR

instead of the shorter

export VAR=value

is that the longer form works in more different shells than the short form. If you know you're dealing with bash, either works fine, of course.

Get jQuery version from inspecting the jQuery object

$().jquery will give you its version as a string.

SQL search multiple values in same field

This has been partially answered here: MySQL Like multiple values

I advise against

$search = explode( ' ', $search );

and input them directly into the SQL query as this makes prone to SQL inject via the search bar. You will have to escape the characters first in case they try something funny like: "--; DROP TABLE name;

$search = str_replace('"', "''", search );

But even that is not completely safe. You must try to use SQL prepared statements to be safer. Using the regular expression is much easier to build a function to prepare and create what you want.

function makeSQL_search_pattern($search) {
    search_pattern = false;
    //escape the special regex chars
    $search = str_replace('"', "''", $search);
    $search = str_replace('^', "\\^", $search);
    $search = str_replace('$', "\\$", $search);
    $search = str_replace('.', "\\.", $search);
    $search = str_replace('[', "\\[", $search);
    $search = str_replace(']', "\\]", $search);
    $search = str_replace('|', "\\|", $search);
    $search = str_replace('*', "\\*", $search);
    $search = str_replace('+', "\\+", $search);
    $search = str_replace('{', "\\{", $search);
    $search = str_replace('}', "\\}", $search);
    $search = explode(" ", $search);
    for ($i = 0; $i < count($search); $i++) {
        if ($i > 0 && $i < count($search) ) {
           $search_pattern .= "|";
        }
        $search_pattern .= $search[$i];
    }
    return search_pattern;
}

$search_pattern = makeSQL_search_pattern($search);
$sql_query = "SELECT name FROM Products WHERE name REGEXP :search LIMIT 6"
$stmt = pdo->prepare($sql_query);
$stmt->bindParam(":search", $search_pattern, PDO::PARAM_STR);
$stmt->execute();

I have not tested this code, but this is what I would do in your case. I hope this helps.

How do I fix maven error The JAVA_HOME environment variable is not defined correctly?

I was facing the same issue while using mvn clean package command in Windows OS

C:\eclipse_workspace\my-sparkapp>mvn clean package
The JAVA_HOME environment variable is not defined correctly
This environment variable is needed to run this program
NB: JAVA_HOME should point to a JDK not a JRE

I resolved this issue by deleting JAVA_HOME environment variables from User Variables / System Variables then restart the laptop, then set JAVA_HOME environment variable again.

Hope it will help you.

Pass object to javascript function

The "braces" are making an object literal, i.e. they create an object. It is one argument.

Example:

function someFunc(arg) {
    alert(arg.foo);
    alert(arg.bar);
}

someFunc({foo: "This", bar: "works!"});

the object can be created beforehand as well:

var someObject = {
    foo: "This", 
    bar: "works!"
};

someFunc(someObject);

I recommend to read the MDN JavaScript Guide - Working with Objects.

How to force garbage collector to run?

System.GC.Collect() forces garbage collector to run. This is not recommended but can be used if situations arise.

Changing the URL in react-router v4 without using Redirect or Link

This is how I did a similar thing. I have tiles that are thumbnails to YouTube videos. When I click the tile, it redirects me to a 'player' page that uses the 'video_id' to render the correct video to the page.

<GridTile
  key={video_id}
  title={video_title}
  containerElement={<Link to={`/player/${video_id}`}/>}
 >

ETA: Sorry, just noticed that you didn't want to use the LINK or REDIRECT components for some reason. Maybe my answer will still help in some way. ; )

What is the default lifetime of a session?

The default in the php.ini for the session.gc_maxlifetime directive (the "gc" is for garbage collection) is 1440 seconds or 24 minutes. See the Session Runtime Configuation page in the manual:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/session.configuration.php

You can change this constant in the php.ini or .httpd.conf files if you have access to them, or in the local .htaccess file on your web site. To set the timeout to one hour using the .htaccess method, add this line to the .htaccess file in the root directory of the site:

php_value session.gc_maxlifetime "3600"

Be careful if you are on a shared host or if you host more than one site where you have not changed the default. The default session location is the /tmp directory, and the garbage collection routine will run every 24 minutes for these other sites (and wipe out your sessions in the process, regardless of how long they should be kept). See the note on the manual page or this site for a better explanation.

The answer to this is to move your sessions to another directory using session.save_path. This also helps prevent bad guys from hijacking your visitors' sessions from the default /tmp directory.

Consider defining a bean of type 'package' in your configuration [Spring-Boot]

I faced with familiar problem in my Maven multi-module project with Spring Boot 2. The problem was related to naming of my packages in sub Maven modules.

@SpringBootApplication incapsulate a lots of component like - @ComponentScan, @EnableAutoConfiguration, jpa-repositories, json-serialization and so on. And he places @ComponentScan in com.*******.space package. This part of packages com.*******.space must be common for all modules.

For fixing it:

  1. You should rename all module packages. Other words you had to have in all packages in all Maven modules - the same parent part. For example - com.*******.space
  2. Also you have to move your entry point to this package - com.*******.space

Issue with adding common code as git submodule: "already exists in the index"

How may I sort a list alphabetically using jQuery?

_x000D_
  $list.children().detach().sort(function(a, b) {_x000D_
    return $(a).text().localeCompare($(b).text());_x000D_
  }).appendTo($list);_x000D_
_x000D_
});
_x000D_
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>_x000D_
_x000D_

Note that returning 1 and -1 (or 0 and 1) from the compare function is absolutely wrong.

How do you get a list of the names of all files present in a directory in Node.js?

IMO the most convenient way to do such tasks is to use a glob tool. Here's a glob package for node.js. Install with

npm install glob

Then use wild card to match filenames (example taken from package's website)

var glob = require("glob")

// options is optional
glob("**/*.js", options, function (er, files) {
  // files is an array of filenames.
  // If the `nonull` option is set, and nothing
  // was found, then files is ["**/*.js"]
  // er is an error object or null.
})

How can I change property names when serializing with Json.net?

You could decorate the property you wish controlling its name with the [JsonProperty] attribute which allows you to specify a different name:

public string Foo { get; set; }

How can I pause setInterval() functions?

i wrote a simple ES6 class that may come handy. inspired by https://stackoverflow.com/a/58580918/4907364 answer

export class IntervalTimer {
    private callbackStartTime;
    private remaining= 0;
    private paused= false;
    public timerId = null;
    private readonly _callback;
    private readonly _delay;

    constructor(callback, delay) {
        this._callback = callback;
        this._delay = delay;
    }

    pause() {
        if (!this.paused) {
            this.clear();
            this.remaining = new Date().getTime() - this.callbackStartTime;
            this.paused = true;
        }
    }

    resume() {
        if (this.paused) {
            if (this.remaining) {
                setTimeout(() => {
                    this.run();
                    this.paused = false;
                    this.start();
                }, this.remaining);
            } else {
                this.paused = false;
                this.start();
            }
        }
    }

    clear() {
        clearInterval(this.timerId);
    }

    start() {
        this.clear();
        this.timerId = setInterval(() => {
            this.run();
        }, this._delay);
    }

    private run() {
        this.callbackStartTime = new Date().getTime();
        this._callback();
    }
}

usage is pretty straightforward,

const interval = new IntervalTimer(console.log(aaa), 3000);
interval.start();
interval.pause();
interval.resume();
interval.clear();

Git - What is the difference between push.default "matching" and "simple"

From GIT documentation: Git Docs

Below gives the full information. In short, simple will only push the current working branch and even then only if it also has the same name on the remote. This is a very good setting for beginners and will become the default in GIT 2.0

Whereas matching will push all branches locally that have the same name on the remote. (Without regard to your current working branch ). This means potentially many different branches will be pushed, including those that you might not even want to share.

In my personal usage, I generally use a different option: current which pushes the current working branch, (because I always branch for any changes). But for a beginner I'd suggest simple

push.default
Defines the action git push should take if no refspec is explicitly given. Different values are well-suited for specific workflows; for instance, in a purely central workflow (i.e. the fetch source is equal to the push destination), upstream is probably what you want. Possible values are:

nothing - do not push anything (error out) unless a refspec is explicitly given. This is primarily meant for people who want to avoid mistakes by always being explicit.

current - push the current branch to update a branch with the same name on the receiving end. Works in both central and non-central workflows.

upstream - push the current branch back to the branch whose changes are usually integrated into the current branch (which is called @{upstream}). This mode only makes sense if you are pushing to the same repository you would normally pull from (i.e. central workflow).

simple - in centralized workflow, work like upstream with an added safety to refuse to push if the upstream branch's name is different from the local one.

When pushing to a remote that is different from the remote you normally pull from, work as current. This is the safest option and is suited for beginners.

This mode will become the default in Git 2.0.

matching - push all branches having the same name on both ends. This makes the repository you are pushing to remember the set of branches that will be pushed out (e.g. if you always push maint and master there and no other branches, the repository you push to will have these two branches, and your local maint and master will be pushed there).

To use this mode effectively, you have to make sure all the branches you would push out are ready to be pushed out before running git push, as the whole point of this mode is to allow you to push all of the branches in one go. If you usually finish work on only one branch and push out the result, while other branches are unfinished, this mode is not for you. Also this mode is not suitable for pushing into a shared central repository, as other people may add new branches there, or update the tip of existing branches outside your control.

This is currently the default, but Git 2.0 will change the default to simple.

Determine if an element has a CSS class with jQuery

Use the hasClass method:

jQueryCollection.hasClass(className);

or

$(selector).hasClass(className);

The argument is (obviously) a string representing the class you are checking, and it returns a boolean (so it doesn't support chaining like most jQuery methods).

Note: If you pass a className argument that contains whitespace, it will be matched literally against the collection's elements' className string. So if, for instance, you have an element,

<span class="foo bar" />

then this will return true:

$('span').hasClass('foo bar')

and these will return false:

$('span').hasClass('bar foo')
$('span').hasClass('foo  bar')

Help needed with Median If in Excel

Assuming your categories are in cells A1:A6 and the corresponding values are in B1:B6, you might try typing the formula =MEDIAN(IF($A$1:$A$6="Airline",$B$1:$B$6,"")) in another cell and then pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER.

Using CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER tells Excel to treat the formula as an "array formula". In this example, that means that the IF statement returns an array of 6 values (one of each of the cells in the range $A$1:$A$6) instead of a single value. The MEDIAN function then returns the median of these values. See http://www.cpearson.com/excel/arrayformulas.aspx for a similar example using AVERAGE instead of MEDIAN.

How do I make a splash screen?

In my case I didn't want to create a new Activity only to show a image for 2 seconds. When starting my MainAvtivity, images gets loaded into holders using picasso, I know that this takes about 1 second to load so I decided to do the following inside my MainActivity OnCreate:

splashImage = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.spllll);

    this.getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);

    int secondsDelayed = 1;
    new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            getWindow().clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
            splashImage.setVisibility(View.GONE);

        }
    }, secondsDelayed * 2000);

When starting the application the first thing that happens is the ImageView gets displayed and the statusBar is removed by setting the window flags to full screen. Then I used a Handler to run for 2 seconds, after the 2 seconds I clear the full screen flags and set the visibility of the ImageView to GONE. Easy, simple, effective.

Passing enum or object through an intent (the best solution)

I like simple.

  • The Fred activity has two modes -- HAPPY and SAD.
  • Create a static IntentFactory that creates your Intent for you. Pass it the Mode you want.
  • The IntentFactory uses the name of the Mode class as the name of the extra.
  • The IntentFactory converts the Mode to a String using name()
  • Upon entry into onCreate use this info to convert back to a Mode.
  • You could use ordinal() and Mode.values() as well. I like strings because I can see them in the debugger.

    public class Fred extends Activity {
    
        public static enum Mode {
            HAPPY,
            SAD,
            ;
        }
    
        public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(R.layout.betting);
            Intent intent = getIntent();
            Mode mode = Mode.valueOf(getIntent().getStringExtra(Mode.class.getName()));
            Toast.makeText(this, "mode="+mode.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }
    
        public static Intent IntentFactory(Context context, Mode mode){
            Intent intent = new Intent();
            intent.setClass(context,Fred.class);
            intent.putExtra(Mode.class.getName(),mode.name());
    
            return intent;
        }
    }

Next, open the SQL file using File --> Open option. Select .sql file.

Once it is open, you can execute the file by pressing F5.

How to detect if a browser is Chrome using jQuery?

Sadly due to Opera's latest update !!window.chrome (and other tests on the window object) when testing in Opera returns true.

Conditionizr takes care of this for you and solves the Opera issue:

conditionizr.add('chrome', [], function () {
    return !!window.chrome && !/opera|opr/i.test(navigator.userAgent);
});

I'd highly suggest using it as none of the above are now valid.

This allows you to do:

if (conditionizr.chrome) {...}

Conditionizr takes care of other browser detects and is much faster and reliable than jQuery hacks.

%>% has no builtin meaning but the user (or a package) is free to define operators of the form %whatever% in any way they like. For example, this function will return a string consisting of its left argument followed by a comma and space and then it's right argument.

"%,%" <- function(x, y) paste0(x, ", ", y)

# test run

"Hello" %,% "World"
## [1] "Hello, World"

The base of R provides %*% (matrix mulitiplication), %/% (integer division), %in% (is lhs a component of the rhs?), %o% (outer product) and %x% (kronecker product). It is not clear whether %% falls in this category or not but it represents modulo.

expm The R package, expm, defines a matrix power operator %^%. For an example see Matrix power in R .

operators The operators R package has defined a large number of such operators such as %!in% (for not %in%). See http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/operators/operators.pdf

igraph This package defines %--% , %->% and %<-% to select edges.

lubridate This package defines %m+% and %m-% to add and subtract months and %--% to define an interval. igraph also defines %--% .

Pipes

magrittr In the case of %>% the magrittr R package has defined it as discussed in the magrittr vignette. See http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/magrittr/vignettes/magrittr.html

magittr has also defined a number of other such operators too. See the Additional Pipe Operators section of the prior link which discusses %T>%, %<>% and %$% and http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/magrittr/magrittr.pdf for even more details.

dplyr The dplyr R package used to define a %.% operator which is similar; however, it has been deprecated and dplyr now recommends that users use %>% which dplyr imports from magrittr and makes available to the dplyr user. As David Arenburg has mentioned in the comments this SO question discusses the differences between it and magrittr's %>% : Differences between %.% (dplyr) and %>% (magrittr)

pipeR The R package, pipeR, defines a %>>% operator that is similar to magrittr's %>% and can be used as an alternative to it. See http://renkun.me/pipeR-tutorial/

The pipeR package also has defined a number of other such operators too. See: http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/pipeR/pipeR.pdf

postlogic The postlogic package defined %if% and %unless% operators.

wrapr The R package, wrapr, defines a dot pipe %.>% that is an explicit version of %>% in that it does not do implicit insertion of arguments but only substitutes explicit uses of dot on the right hand side. This can be considered as another alternative to %>%. See https://winvector.github.io/wrapr/articles/dot_pipe.html

Bizarro pipe. This is not really a pipe but rather some clever base syntax to work in a way similar to pipes without actually using pipes. It is discussed in http://www.win-vector.com/blog/2017/01/using-the-bizarro-pipe-to-debug-magrittr-pipelines-in-r/ The idea is that instead of writing:

1:8 %>% sum %>% sqrt
## [1] 6

one writes the following. In this case we explicitly use dot rather than eliding the dot argument and end each component of the pipeline with an assignment to the variable whose name is dot (.) . We follow that with a semicolon.

1:8 ->.; sum(.) ->.; sqrt(.)
## [1] 6

Update Added info on expm package and simplified example at top. Added postlogic package.

For div to extend full height

This might be of some help: http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum83/200.htm

A relevant quote:

Most attempts to accomplish this were made by assigning the property and value: div{height:100%} - this alone will not work. The reason is that without a parent defined height, the div{height:100%;} has nothing to factor 100% percent of, and will default to a value of div{height:auto;} - auto is an "as needed value" which is governed by the actual content, so that the div{height:100%} will a=only extend as far as the content demands.

The solution to the problem is found by assigning a height value to the parent container, in this case, the body element. Writing your body stlye to include height 100% supplies the needed value.

html, body { 
  margin:0; 
  padding:0; 
  height:100%; 
}

Selecting Folder Destination in Java?

try something like this

JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
chooser.setCurrentDirectory(new java.io.File("."));
chooser.setDialogTitle("select folder");
chooser.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.DIRECTORIES_ONLY);
chooser.setAcceptAllFileFilterUsed(false);

alternative to "!is.null()" in R

I have also seen:

if(length(obj)) {
  # do this if object has length
  # NULL has no length
}

I don't think it's great though. Because some vectors can be of length 0. character(0), logical(0), integer(0) and that might be treated as a NULL instead of an error.

ReactJS: setTimeout() not working?

There's a 3 ways to access the scope inside of the 'setTimeout' function

First,

const self = this
setTimeout(function() {
  self.setState({position:1})
}, 3000)

Second is to use ES6 arrow function, cause arrow function didn't have itself scope(this)

setTimeout(()=> {
   this.setState({position:1})
}, 3000)

Third one is to bind the scope inside of the function

setTimeout(function(){
   this.setState({position:1})
}.bind(this), 3000)

TSQL CASE with if comparison in SELECT statement

Please select the same in the outer select. You can't access the alias name in the same query.

SELECT *, (CASE
        WHEN articleNumber < 2 THEN 'Ama'
        WHEN articleNumber < 5 THEN 'SemiAma' 
        WHEN articleNumber < 7 THEN 'Good'  
        WHEN articleNumber < 9 THEN 'Better' 
        WHEN articleNumber < 12 THEN 'Best'
        ELSE 'Outstanding'
        END) AS ranking 
FROM(
    SELECT registrationDate, (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Articles WHERE Articles.userId = Users.userId) as articleNumber, 
    hobbies, etc...
    FROM USERS
)x

Create a shortcut on Desktop

With additional options such as hotkey, description etc.

At first, Project > Add Reference > COM > Windows Script Host Object Model.

using IWshRuntimeLibrary;

private void CreateShortcut()
{
  object shDesktop = (object)"Desktop";
  WshShell shell = new WshShell();
  string shortcutAddress = (string)shell.SpecialFolders.Item(ref shDesktop) + @"\Notepad.lnk";
  IWshShortcut shortcut = (IWshShortcut)shell.CreateShortcut(shortcutAddress);
  shortcut.Description = "New shortcut for a Notepad";
  shortcut.Hotkey = "Ctrl+Shift+N";
  shortcut.TargetPath = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.System) + @"\notepad.exe";

Where to find "Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting" missing dll?

The DLL you're looking for that contains that namespace is

Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.UnitTestFramework.dll

Note that unit testing cannot be used in Visual Studio Express.

Rendering React Components from Array of Objects

this.data presumably contains all the data, so you would need to do something like this:

var stations = [];
var stationData = this.data.stations;

for (var i = 0; i < stationData.length; i++) {
    stations.push(
        <div key={stationData[i].call} className="station">
            Call: {stationData[i].call}, Freq: {stationData[i].frequency}
        </div>
    )
}

render() {
  return (
    <div className="stations">{stations}</div>
  )
}

Or you can use map and arrow functions if you're using ES6:

const stations = this.data.stations.map(station =>
    <div key={station.call} className="station">
      Call: {station.call}, Freq: {station.frequency}
    </div>
);

How to save/restore serializable object to/from file?

**1. Convert the json string to base64string and Write or append it to binary file. 2. Read base64string from binary file and deserialize using BsonReader. **

 public static class BinaryJson
{
    public static string SerializeToBase64String(this object obj)
    {
        JsonSerializer jsonSerializer = new JsonSerializer();
        MemoryStream objBsonMemoryStream = new MemoryStream();
        using (BsonWriter bsonWriterObject = new BsonWriter(objBsonMemoryStream))
        {
            jsonSerializer.Serialize(bsonWriterObject, obj);
            return Convert.ToBase64String(objBsonMemoryStream.ToArray());
        }           
        //return Encoding.ASCII.GetString(objBsonMemoryStream.ToArray());
    }
    public static T DeserializeToObject<T>(this string base64String)
    {
        byte[] data = Convert.FromBase64String(base64String);
        MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(data);
        using (BsonReader reader = new BsonReader(ms))
        {
            JsonSerializer serializer = new JsonSerializer();
            return serializer.Deserialize<T>(reader);
        }
    }
}

The openssl extension is required for SSL/TLS protection

LabelEncoder: TypeError: '>' not supported between instances of 'float' and 'str'

As string data types have variable length, it is by default stored as object type. I faced this problem after treating missing values too. Converting all those columns to type 'category' before label encoding worked in my case.

df[cat]=df[cat].astype('category')

And then check df.dtypes and perform label encoding.

Change a Git remote HEAD to point to something besides master

For gitolite people, gitolite supports a command called -- wait for it -- symbolic-ref. It allows you to run that command remotely if you have W (write) permission to the repo.

Updating and committing only a file's permissions using git version control

By default, git will update execute file permissions if you change them. It will not change or track any other permissions.

If you don't see any changes when modifying execute permission, you probably have a configuration in git which ignore file mode.

Look into your project, in the .git folder for the config file and you should see something like this:

[core]
    filemode = false

You can either change it to true in your favorite text editor, or run:

git config core.filemode true

Then, you should be able to commit normally your files. It will only commit the permission changes.

Team Build Error: The Path ... is already mapped to workspace

We had the same problem but deleting the workspace's from the TFS server did not work. (I should mention that I grabbed my colleagues VM that was already set up with his credentials.)

For me this worked: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/buckh/archive/2006/09/12/path-is-already-mapped-in-workspace.aspx

I just went into the : ...\Local Settings\Application Data\ made a search for VersionControl.config, opened up the folder that contained this file and deleted all of it's contents.

Previous to that I tried manually editing the file but it continued with the same error message.

I hope this helps.

What is the Swift equivalent to Objective-C's "@synchronized"?

dispatch_barrier_async is the better way, while not blocking current thread.

Error - replacement has [x] rows, data has [y]

You could use cut

 df$valueBin <- cut(df$value, c(-Inf, 250, 500, 1000, 2000, Inf), 
    labels=c('<=250', '250-500', '500-1,000', '1,000-2,000', '>2,000'))

data

What is the best way to create a string array in python?

In python, you wouldn't normally do what you are trying to do. But, the below code will do it:

strs = ["" for x in range(size)]

Getter and Setter declaration in .NET

Just to clarify, in your 3rd example _myProperty isn't actually a property. It's a field with get and set methods (and as has already been mentioned the get and set methods should specify return types).

In C# the 3rd method should be avoided in most situations. You'd only really use it if the type you wanted to return was an array, or if the get method did a lot of work rather than just returning a value. The latter isn't really necessary but for the purpose of clarity a property's get method that does a lot of work is misleading.

The localhost page isn’t working localhost is currently unable to handle this request. HTTP ERROR 500

I was using CakePHP and I was seeing this error:

This page isn’t working
localhost is currently unable to handle this request.
HTTP ERROR 500

I went to see the CakePHP Debug Level defined at app\config\core.php:

/**
 * CakePHP Debug Level:
 *
 * Production Mode:
 *  0: No error messages, errors, or warnings shown. Flash messages redirect.
 *
 * Development Mode:
 *  1: Errors and warnings shown, model caches refreshed, flash messages halted.
 *  2: As in 1, but also with full debug messages and SQL output.
 *  3: As in 2, but also with full controller dump.
 *
 * In production mode, flash messages redirect after a time interval.
 * In development mode, you need to click the flash message to continue.
 */
Configure::write('debug', 0);

I chanted the value from 0 to 1:

Configure::write('debug', 1);

After this change, when trying to reload the page again, I saw the corresponding error:

Fatal error: Uncaught Exception: Facebook needs the CURL PHP extension.

Conclusion: The solution in my case to see the errors was to change the CakePHP Debug Level from 0 to 1 in order to show errors and warnings.

Sql error on update : The UPDATE statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint

In MySQL

set foreign_key_checks=0;

UPDATE patient INNER JOIN patient_address 
ON patient.id_no=patient_address.id_no 
SET patient.id_no='8008255601088', 
patient_address.id_no=patient.id_no 
WHERE patient.id_no='7008255601088';

Note that foreign_key_checks only temporarily set foreign key checking false. So it need to execute every time before update statement. We set it 0 as if we update parent first then that will not be allowed as child may have already that value. And if we update child first then that will also be not allowed as parent may not have that value from which we are updating. So we need to set foreign key check. Another thing is that if you are using command line tool to use this query then put care to mention spaces in place where i put new line or ENTER in code. As command line take it in one line, so it may happen that two words stick as patient_addressON which create syntax error.

What is N-Tier architecture?

It's my understanding that N-Tier separates business logic, client access and data from each other using separate physical machines. The theory is that one of them can be updated independently of the others.

how to get the value of a textarea in jquery?

You can directly use

Regular expression replace in C#

You can do it this with two replace's

//let stw be "John Smith $100,000.00 M"

sb_trim = Regex.Replace(stw, @"\s+\$|\s+(?=\w+$)", ",");
//sb_trim becomes "John Smith,100,000.00,M"

sb_trim = Regex.Replace(sb_trim, @"(?<=\d),(?=\d)|[.]0+(?=,)", "");
//sb_trim becomes "John Smith,100000,M"

sw.WriteLine(sb_trim);

Change route params without reloading in Angular 2

In my case I needed to remove a query param of the url to prevent user to see it.

I found replaceState safer than location.go because the path with the old query params disappeared of the stack and user can be redo the query related with this query. So, I prefer it to do it:

this.location.replaceState(this.router.url.split('?')[0]);

Whit location.go, go to back with the browser will return to your old path with the query params and will keep it in the navigation stack.

this.location.go(this.router.url.split('?')[0]);

Difference between session affinity and sticky session?

They are the same.

Both mean that when coming in to the load balancer, the request will be directed to the server that served the first request (and has the session).

When to use margin vs padding in CSS

One thing to note is when auto collapsing margins annoy you (and you are not using background colours on your elements), something it's just easier to use padding.

What is an opaque response, and what purpose does it serve?

Opaque responses can't be accessed by JavaScript, but you can still cache them with the Cache API and respond with them in the fetch event handler in a service worker. So they're useful for making your app offline, also for resources that you can't control (e.g. resources on a CDN that doesn't set the CORS headers).

javascript date to string

Maybe it is easier to convert the Date into the actual integer 20110506105524 and then convert this into a string:

function printDate() {
    var temp = new Date();
    var dateInt =
        ((((temp.getFullYear() * 100 + 
            temp.getMonth() + 1) * 100 + 
           temp.getDate()) * 100 +
          temp.getHours()) * 100 + 
         temp.getMinutes()) * 100 + 
        temp.getSeconds();

    debug ( '' + dateInt );  // convert to String
}

When temp.getFullYear() < 1000 the result will be one (or more) digits shorter.

Caution: this wont work with millisecond precision (i.e. 17 digits) since Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER is 9007199254740991 which is only 16 digits.

Hash table runtime complexity (insert, search and delete)

Perhaps you were looking at the space complexity? That is O(n). The other complexities are as expected on the hash table entry. The search complexity approaches O(1) as the number of buckets increases. If at the worst case you have only one bucket in the hash table, then the search complexity is O(n).

Edit in response to comment I don't think it is correct to say O(1) is the average case. It really is (as the wikipedia page says) O(1+n/k) where K is the hash table size. If K is large enough, then the result is effectively O(1). But suppose K is 10 and N is 100. In that case each bucket will have on average 10 entries, so the search time is definitely not O(1); it is a linear search through up to 10 entries.

How to send an email with Gmail as provider using Python?

Seems like problem of the old smtplib. In python2.7 everything works fine.

Update: Yep, server.ehlo() also could help.

Dynamically add properties to a existing object

If you can't use the dynamic type with ExpandoObject, then you could use a 'Property Bag' mechanism, where, using a dictionary (or some other key / value collection type) you store string key's that name the properties and values of the required type.

See here for an example implementation.

Why is my locally-created script not allowed to run under the RemoteSigned execution policy?

PHP - iterate on string characters

Step 1: convert the string to an array using the str_split function

$array = str_split($your_string);

Step 2: loop through the newly created array

foreach ($array as $char) {
 echo $char;
}

You can check the PHP docs for more information: str_split

Get Element value with minidom with Python

you can use something like this.It worked out for me

doc = parse('C:\\eve.xml')
my_node_list = doc.getElementsByTagName("name")
my_n_node = my_node_list[0]
my_child = my_n_node.firstChild
my_text = my_child.data 
print my_text

PHP - Getting the index of a element from a array

an array does not contain index when elements are associative. An array in php can contain mixed values like this:

$var = array("apple", "banana", "foo" => "grape", "carrot", "bar" => "donkey");   
print_r($var);

Gives you:

Array
(
    [0] => apple
    [1] => banana
    [foo] => grape
    [2] => carrot
    [bar] => donkey
)

What are you trying to achieve since you need the index value in an associative array?

How to pass multiple parameter to @Directives (@Components) in Angular with TypeScript?

From the Documentation

As with components, you can add as many directive property bindings as you need by stringing them along in the template.

Add an input property to HighlightDirective called defaultColor:

@Input() defaultColor: string;

Markup

<p [myHighlight]="color" defaultColor="violet">
  Highlight me too!
</p>

Angular knows that the defaultColor binding belongs to the HighlightDirective because you made it public with the @Input decorator.

Either way, the @Input decorator tells Angular that this property is public and available for binding by a parent component. Without @Input, Angular refuses to bind to the property.

For your example

With many parameters

Add properties into the Directive class with @Input() decorator

@Directive({
    selector: '[selectable]'
})
export class SelectableDirective{
    private el: HTMLElement;

    @Input('selectable') option:any;   
    @Input('first') f;
    @Input('second') s;

    ...
}

And in the template pass bound properties to your li element

<li *ngFor = 'let opt of currentQuestion.options' 
    [selectable] = 'opt' 
    [first]='YourParameterHere'
    [second]='YourParameterHere'
    (selectedOption) = 'onOptionSelection($event)'>
    {{opt.option}}
</li>

Here on the li element we have a directive with name selectable. In the selectable we have two @Input()'s, f with name first and s with name second. We have applied these two on the li properties with name [first] and [second]. And our directive will find these properties on that li element, which are set for him with @Input() decorator. So selectable, [first] and [second] will be bound to every directive on li, which has property with these names.

With single parameter

@Directive({
    selector: '[selectable]'
})
export class SelectableDirective{
    private el: HTMLElement;

    @Input('selectable') option:any;   
    @Input('params') params;

    ...
}

Markup

<li *ngFor = 'let opt of currentQuestion.options' 
    [selectable] = 'opt' 
    [params]='{firstParam: 1, seconParam: 2, thirdParam: 3}'
    (selectedOption) = 'onOptionSelection($event)'>
    {{opt.option}}
</li>

Difference between shared objects (.so), static libraries (.a), and DLL's (.so)?

You are correct in that static files are copied to the application at link-time, and that shared files are just verified at link time and loaded at runtime.

The dlopen call is not only for shared objects, if the application wishes to do so at runtime on its behalf, otherwise the shared objects are loaded automatically when the application starts. DLLS and .so are the same thing. the dlopen exists to add even more fine-grained dynamic loading abilities for processes. You dont have to use dlopen yourself to open/use the DLLs, that happens too at application startup.

Exec : display stdout "live"

Don't use exec. Use spawn which is an EventEmmiter object. Then you can listen to stdout/stderr events (spawn.stdout.on('data',callback..)) as they happen.

From NodeJS documentation:

var spawn = require('child_process').spawn,
    ls    = spawn('ls', ['-lh', '/usr']);

ls.stdout.on('data', function (data) {
  console.log('stdout: ' + data.toString());
});

ls.stderr.on('data', function (data) {
  console.log('stderr: ' + data.toString());
});

ls.on('exit', function (code) {
  console.log('child process exited with code ' + code.toString());
});

exec buffers the output and usually returns it when the command has finished executing.

Set The Window Position of an application via command line

You can use nircmd project here: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html

Example code:

nircmd win move ititle "cmd.exe" 5 5 10 10
nircmd win setsize ititle "cmd.exe" 30 30 100 200
nircmd cmdwait 1000 win setsize ititle "cmd.exe" 30 30 1000 600

Open popup and refresh parent page on close popup

Try this

        self.opener.location.reload(); 

Open the parent of a current window and reload the location.

How to print variables without spaces between values

Don't use print ..., if you don't want spaces. Use string concatenation or formatting.

Concatenation:

print 'Value is "' + str(value) + '"'

Formatting:

print 'Value is "{}"'.format(value)

The latter is far more flexible, see the str.format() method documentation and the Formatting String Syntax section.

You'll also come across the older % formatting style:

print 'Value is "%d"' % value
print 'Value is "%d", but math.pi is %.2f' % (value, math.pi)

but this isn't as flexible as the newer str.format() method.

Good examples using java.util.logging

I'd use minlog, personally. It's extremely simple, as the logging class is a few hundred lines of code.

What is the best open XML parser for C++?

How about RapidXML? RapidXML is a very fast and small XML DOM parser written in C++. It is aimed primarily at embedded environments, computer games, or any other applications where available memory or CPU processing power comes at a premium. RapidXML is licensed under Boost Software License and its source code is freely available.

Features

  • Parsing speed (including DOM tree building) approaching speed of strlen function executed on the same data.
  • On a modern CPU (as of 2008) the parser throughput is about 1 billion characters per second. See Performance section in the Online Manual.
  • Small memory footprint of the code and created DOM trees.
  • A headers-only implementation, simplifying the integration process.
  • Simple license that allows use for almost any purpose, both commercial and non-commercial, without any obligations.
  • Supports UTF-8 and partially UTF-16, UTF-32 encodings.
  • Portable source code with no dependencies other than a very small subset of C++ Standard Library.
  • This subset is so small that it can be easily emulated manually if use of standard library is undesired.

Limitations

  • The parser ignores DOCTYPE declarations.
  • There is no support for XML namespaces.
  • The parser does not check for character validity.
  • The interface of the parser does not conform to DOM specification.
  • The parser does not check for attribute uniqueness.

Depending on you use, you may use an XML Data Binding? CodeSynthesis XSD is an XML Data Binding compiler for C++ developed by Code Synthesis and dual-licensed under the GNU GPL and a proprietary license. Given an XML instance specification (XML Schema), it generates C++ classes that represent the given vocabulary as well as parsing and serialization code.

One of the unique features of CodeSynthesis XSD is its support for two different XML Schema to C++ mappings: in-memory C++/Tree and stream-oriented C++/Parser. The C++/Tree mapping is a traditional mapping with a tree-like, in-memory data structure. C++/Parser is a new, SAX-like mapping which represents the information stored in XML instance documents as a hierarchy of vocabulary-specific parsing events. In comparison to C++/Tree, the C++/Parser mapping allows one to handle large XML documents that would not fit in memory, perform stream-oriented processing, or use an existing in-memory representation.

Create a day-of-week column in a Pandas dataframe using Python

Pandas 0.23+

Use pandas.Series.dt.day_name(), since pandas.Timestamp.weekday_name has been deprecated:

import pandas as pd


df = pd.DataFrame({'my_dates':['2015-01-01','2015-01-02','2015-01-03'],'myvals':[1,2,3]})
df['my_dates'] = pd.to_datetime(df['my_dates'])

df['day_of_week'] = df['my_dates'].dt.day_name()

Output:

    my_dates  myvals day_of_week
0 2015-01-01       1    Thursday
1 2015-01-02       2      Friday
2 2015-01-03       3    Saturday

Pandas 0.18.1+

As user jezrael points out below, dt.weekday_name was added in version 0.18.1 Pandas Docs

import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({'my_dates':['2015-01-01','2015-01-02','2015-01-03'],'myvals':[1,2,3]})
df['my_dates'] = pd.to_datetime(df['my_dates'])
df['day_of_week'] = df['my_dates'].dt.weekday_name

Output:

    my_dates  myvals day_of_week
0 2015-01-01       1    Thursday
1 2015-01-02       2      Friday
2 2015-01-03       3    Saturday

Original Answer:

Use this:

http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/generated/pandas.Series.dt.dayofweek.html

See this:

Get weekday/day-of-week for Datetime column of DataFrame

If you want a string instead of an integer do something like this:

import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({'my_dates':['2015-01-01','2015-01-02','2015-01-03'],'myvals':[1,2,3]})
df['my_dates'] = pd.to_datetime(df['my_dates'])
df['day_of_week'] = df['my_dates'].dt.dayofweek

days = {0:'Mon',1:'Tues',2:'Weds',3:'Thurs',4:'Fri',5:'Sat',6:'Sun'}

df['day_of_week'] = df['day_of_week'].apply(lambda x: days[x])

Output:

    my_dates  myvals day_of_week
0 2015-01-01       1       Thurs
1 2015-01-02       2         Fri
2 2015-01-01       3       Thurs

Reload activity in Android

I don't think that's a good idea... it'd be better to implement a cleaner method. For instance, if your activity holds a form, the cleaner method could just clear each widget in the form and delete all temporary data. I guess that's what you want: restore the activity to its initial state.

CURRENT_DATE/CURDATE() not working as default DATE value

I have the current latest version of MySQL: 8.0.20

So my table name is visit, my column name is curdate.

alter table visit modify curdate date not null default (current_date);

This writes the default date value with no timestamp.

Why doesn't height: 100% work to expand divs to the screen height?

This may not be ideal but you can allways do it with javascript. Or in my case jQuery

<script>
var newheight = $('.innerdiv').css('height');
$('.mainwrapper').css('height', newheight);
</script>

What is the purpose of backbone.js?

A web application involving lot of user interaction with many AJAX requests, which needs to be changed from time to time, and which runs in real time (such as Facebook or StackOverflow) ought to use an MVC framework such as Backbone.js. It's the best way to build good code.

If the application is only small though, then Backbone.js is overkill, especially for first time users.

Backbone gives you client side MVC, and all the advantages implied by this.

How to do an INNER JOIN on multiple columns

something like....

SELECT f.*

ON f.fairport = a1. code
INNER JOIN airports a2
ON f.tairport = a2. code

How many files can I put in a directory?

I respect this doesn't totally answer your question as to how many is too many, but an idea for solving the long term problem is that in addition to storing the original file metadata, also store which folder on disk it is stored in - normalize out that piece of metadata. Once a folder grows beyond some limit you are comfortable with for performance, aesthetic or whatever reason, you just create a second folder and start dropping files there...

How to specify new GCC path for CMake

This not only works with cmake, but also with ./configure and make:

./configure CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc CXX=/usr/local/bin/g++

Which is resulting in:

checking for gcc... /usr/local/bin/gcc
checking whether the C compiler works... yes

What’s the best RESTful method to return total number of items in an object?

Alternative when you don't need actual items

Franci Penov's answer is certainly the best way to go so you always return items along with all additional metadata about your entities being requested. That's the way it should be done.

but sometimes returning all data doesn't make sense, because you may not need them at all. Maybe all you need is that metadata about your requested resource. Like total count or number of pages or something else. In such case you can always have URL query tell your service not to return items but rather just metadata like:

/api/members?metaonly=true
/api/members?includeitems=0

or something similar...

How to yum install Node.JS on Amazon Linux

I just came across this. I tried a few of the more popular answers, but in the end, what worked for me was Amazon's quick setup guide.

Tutorial: Setting Up Node.js on an Amazon EC2 Instance

The gist of the tutorial is:

  1. Make sure you are ssh'd onto the instance.
  2. Grab nvm: curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.32.0/install.sh | bash
  3. Active . ~/.nvm/nvm.sh
  4. Install node using nvm nvm install 4.4.5 (NOTE: You can choose a different version. Check out the remote versions first by running $ nvm ls-remote)
  5. Finally, test that you have installed node Node correctly by running $ node -e "console.log('Running Node.js' + process.version)"

Hopefully this helps the next person.

Is background-color:none valid CSS?

So, I would like to explain the scenario where I had to make use of this solution. Basically, I wanted to undo the background-color attribute set by another CSS. The expected end result was to make it look as though the original CSS had never applied the background-color attribute . Setting background-color:transparent; made that effective.

gradlew command not found?

Gradle wrapper needs to be built. Try running gradle wrapper --gradle-version 2.13 Remember to change 2.13 to your gradle version number. After running this command, you should see new scripts added to your project folder. You should be able to run the wrapper with ./gradlew build to build your code. Please refer to this guid for more information https://spring.io/guides/gs/gradle/.

Difference between chr(13) and chr(10)

Chr(10) is the Line Feed character and Chr(13) is the Carriage Return character.

You probably won't notice a difference if you use only one or the other, but you might find yourself in a situation where the output doesn't show properly with only one or the other. So it's safer to include both.


Historically, Line Feed would move down a line but not return to column 1:

This  
    is  
        a  
            test.

Similarly Carriage Return would return to column 1 but not move down a line:

This  
is  
a  
test.

Paste this into a text editor and then choose to "show all characters", and you'll see both characters present at the end of each line. Better safe than sorry.

Simple VBA selection: Selecting 5 cells to the right of the active cell

This example selects a new Range of Cells defined by the current cell to a cell 5 to the right.

Note that .Offset takes arguments of Offset(row, columns) and can be quite useful.

    Range(ActiveCell, ActiveCell.Offset(0, 5)).Copy
End Sub

Splitting comma separated string in a PL/SQL stored proc

As for the connect by use case, this approach should work for you:

The 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header contains multiple values

I added

config.EnableCors(new EnableCorsAttribute(Properties.Settings.Default.Cors, "", ""))

as well as

app.UseCors(CorsOptions.AllowAll);

on the server. This results in two header entries. Just use the latter one and it works.

How can I run a program from a batch file without leaving the console open after the program starts?

Here is my preferred solution. It is taken from an answer to a similar question.

Use a VBS Script to call the batch file:

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run chr(34) & "C:\path\to\your\batchfile.bat" & Chr(34), 0
Set WshShell = Nothing

Copy the lines above to an editor and save the file with .VBS extension.

CURL to pass SSL certifcate and password

Merging two CSV files using Python

When I'm working with csv files, I often use the pandas library. It makes things like this very easy. For example:

import pandas as pd

a = pd.read_csv("filea.csv")
b = pd.read_csv("fileb.csv")
b = b.dropna(axis=1)
merged = a.merge(b, on='title')
merged.to_csv("output.csv", index=False)

Some explanation follows. First, we read in the csv files:

>>> a = pd.read_csv("filea.csv")
>>> b = pd.read_csv("fileb.csv")
>>> a
   title  stage    jan    feb
0   darn  3.001  0.421  0.532
1     ok  2.829  1.036  0.751
2  three  1.115  1.146  2.921
>>> b
   title    mar    apr    may       jun  Unnamed: 5
0   darn  0.631  1.321  0.951    1.7510         NaN
1     ok  1.001  0.247  2.456    0.3216         NaN
2  three  0.285  1.283  0.924  956.0000         NaN

and we see there's an extra column of data (note that the first line of fileb.csv -- title,mar,apr,may,jun, -- has an extra comma at the end). We can get rid of that easily enough:

>>> b = b.dropna(axis=1)
>>> b
   title    mar    apr    may       jun
0   darn  0.631  1.321  0.951    1.7510
1     ok  1.001  0.247  2.456    0.3216
2  three  0.285  1.283  0.924  956.0000

Now we can merge a and b on the title column:

>>> merged = a.merge(b, on='title')
>>> merged
   title  stage    jan    feb    mar    apr    may       jun
0   darn  3.001  0.421  0.532  0.631  1.321  0.951    1.7510
1     ok  2.829  1.036  0.751  1.001  0.247  2.456    0.3216
2  three  1.115  1.146  2.921  0.285  1.283  0.924  956.0000

and finally write this out:

>>> merged.to_csv("output.csv", index=False)

producing:

title,stage,jan,feb,mar,apr,may,jun
darn,3.001,0.421,0.532,0.631,1.321,0.951,1.751
ok,2.829,1.036,0.751,1.001,0.247,2.456,0.3216
three,1.115,1.146,2.921,0.285,1.283,0.924,956.0

how to set textbox value in jquery

add new element in laravel collection object

I have solved this if you are using array called for 2 tables. Example you have, $tableA['yellow'] and $tableA['blue'] . You are getting these 2 values and you want to add another element inside them to separate them by their type.

foreach ($tableA['yellow'] as $value) {
    $value->type = 'YELLOW';  //you are adding new element named 'type'
}

foreach ($tableA['blue'] as $value) {
    $value->type = 'BLUE';  //you are adding new element named 'type'
}

So, both of the tables value will have new element called type.

How to check if a map contains a key in Go?

Short Answer

_, exists := timeZone[tz]    // Just checks for key existence
val, exists := timeZone[tz]  // Checks for key existence and retrieves the value

Example

Here's an example at the Go Playground.

Longer Answer

Per the Maps section of Effective Go:

An attempt to fetch a map value with a key that is not present in the map will return the zero value for the type of the entries in the map. For instance, if the map contains integers, looking up a non-existent key will return 0.

Sometimes you need to distinguish a missing entry from a zero value. Is there an entry for "UTC" or is that the empty string because it's not in the map at all? You can discriminate with a form of multiple assignment.

var seconds int
var ok bool
seconds, ok = timeZone[tz]

For obvious reasons this is called the “comma ok” idiom. In this example, if tz is present, seconds will be set appropriately and ok will be true; if not, seconds will be set to zero and ok will be false. Here's a function that puts it together with a nice error report:

func offset(tz string) int {
    if seconds, ok := timeZone[tz]; ok {
        return seconds
    }
    log.Println("unknown time zone:", tz)
    return 0
}

To test for presence in the map without worrying about the actual value, you can use the blank identifier (_) in place of the usual variable for the value.

_, present := timeZone[tz]

Easiest way to read from and write to files

FileStream fs = new FileStream(txtSourcePath.Text,FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
using(StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(fs))
{
   using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(Destination))
   {
            sw.writeline("Your text");
    }
}

cannot call member function without object

If you want to call them like that, you should declare them static.

Creating multiple objects with different names in a loop to store in an array list

ArrayList<Customer> custArr = new ArrayList<Customer>();
while(youWantToContinue) {
    //get a customerName
    //get an amount
    custArr.add(new Customer(customerName, amount);
}

For this to work... you'll have to fix your constructor...


Assuming your Customer class has variables called name and sale, your constructor should look like this:

public Customer(String customerName, double amount) {
    name = customerName;
    sale = amount;
}

Change your Store class to something more like this:

public class Store {

    private ArrayList<Customer> custArr;

    public new Store() {
        custArr = new ArrayList<Customer>();
    }

    public void addSale(String customerName, double amount) {
        custArr.add(new Customer(customerName, amount));
    }

    public Customer getSaleAtIndex(int index) {
        return custArr.get(index);
    }

    //or if you want the entire ArrayList:
    public ArrayList getCustArr() {
        return custArr;
    }
}

Add new row to excel Table (VBA)

Ran into this issue today (Excel crashes on adding rows using .ListRows.Add). After reading this post and checking my table, I realized the calculations of the formula's in some of the cells in the row depend on a value in other cells. In my case of cells in a higher column AND even cells with a formula!

The solution was to fill the new added row from back to front, so calculations would not go wrong.

Excel normally can deal with formula's in different cells, but it seems adding a row in a table kicks of a recalculation in order of the columns (A,B,C,etc..).

Hope this helps clearing issues with .ListRows.Add

Importing packages in Java

What is the largest Safe UDP Packet Size on the Internet

It is true that a typical IPv4 header is 20 bytes, and the UDP header is 8 bytes. However it is possible to include IP options which can increase the size of the IP header to as much as 60 bytes. In addition, sometimes it is necessary for intermediate nodes to encapsulate datagrams inside of another protocol such as IPsec (used for VPNs and the like) in order to route the packet to its destination. So if you do not know the MTU on your particular network path, it is best to leave a reasonable margin for other header information that you may not have anticipated. A 512-byte UDP payload is generally considered to do that, although even that does not leave quite enough space for a maximum size IP header.

Using Javamail to connect to Gmail smtp server ignores specified port and tries to use 25

Maybe useful for anyone else running into this issue: When setting the port on the properties:

props.put("mail.smtp.port", smtpPort);

..make sure to use a string object. Using a numeric (ie Long) object will cause this statement to seemingly have no effect.

Convert list or numpy array of single element to float in python

You may want to use the ndarray.item method, as in a.item(). This is also equivalent to (the now deprecated) np.asscalar(a). This has the benefit of working in situations with views and superfluous axes, while the above solutions will currently break. For example,

>>> a = np.asarray(1).view()
>>> a.item()  # correct
1

>>> a[0]  # breaks
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
IndexError: too many indices for array


>>> a = np.asarray([[2]])
>>> a.item()  # correct
2

>>> a[0]  # bad result
array([2])

This also has the benefit of throwing an exception if the array is not a singleton, while the a[0] approach will silently proceed (which may lead to bugs sneaking through undetected).

>>> a = np.asarray([1, 2])
>>> a[0]  # silently proceeds
1
>>> a.item()  # detects incorrect size
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: can only convert an array of size 1 to a Python scalar

Is it possible to clone html element objects in JavaScript / JQuery?

Using your code you can do something like this in plain JavaScript using the cloneNode() method:

// Create a clone of element with id ddl_1:
let clone = document.querySelector('#ddl_1').cloneNode( true );

// Change the id attribute of the newly created element:
clone.setAttribute( 'id', newId );

// Append the newly created element on element p 
document.querySelector('p').appendChild( clone );

Or using jQuery clone() method (not the most efficient):

$('#ddl_1').clone().attr('id', newId).appendTo('p'); // append to where you want

how to get the 30 days before date from Todays Date

ERROR: Sonar server 'http://localhost:9000' can not be reached

For others who ran into this issue in a project that is not using a sonar-runners.property file, you may find (as I did) that you need to tweak your pom.xml file, adding a sonar.host.url property.

For example, I needed to add the following line under the 'properties' element:

<sonar.host.url>https://sonar.my-internal-company-domain.net</sonar.host.url>

Where the url points to our internal sonar deployment.

Python: How to convert datetime format?

>>> import datetime
>>> d = datetime.datetime.strptime('2011-06-09', '%Y-%m-%d')
>>> d.strftime('%b %d,%Y')
'Jun 09,2011'

In pre-2.5 Python, you can replace datetime.strptime with time.strptime, like so (untested): datetime.datetime(*(time.strptime('2011-06-09', '%Y-%m-%d')[0:6]))

How to convert a column of DataTable to a List

Try this:

    };
    dt.Rows.Add("Lennon", "John");
    dt.Rows.Add("McCartney", "Paul");
    dt.Rows.Add("Harrison", "George");
    dt.Rows.Add("Starr", "Ringo");

    List<string> s = dt.AsEnumerable().Select(x => x[0].ToString()).ToList();

    foreach(string e in s)
        Console.WriteLine(e);

    Console.ReadLine();
}

Can you use CSS to mirror/flip text?

There's also the rotateY for a real mirror one:

transform: rotateY(180deg);

Which, perhaps, is even more clear and understandable.

EDIT: Doesn't seem to work on Opera though… sadly. But it works fine on Firefox. I guess it might required to implicitly say that we are doing some kind of translate3d perhaps? Or something like that.

Attach parameter to button.addTarget action in Swift

You cannot pass custom parameters in addTarget:.One alternative is set the tag property of button and do work based on the tag.

button.tag = 5
button.addTarget(self, action: "buttonClicked:", 
    forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside)

Or for Swift 2.2 and greater:

button.tag = 5
button.addTarget(self,action:#selector(buttonClicked),
    forControlEvents:.TouchUpInside)

Now do logic based on tag property

@objc func buttonClicked(sender:UIButton)
{
    if(sender.tag == 5){

        var abc = "argOne" //Do something for tag 5
    }
    print("hello")
}

NodeJS: How to decode base64 encoded string back to binary?

As of Node.js v6.0.0 using the constructor method has been deprecated and the following method should instead be used to construct a new buffer from a base64 encoded string:

var b64string = /* whatever */;
var buf = Buffer.from(b64string, 'base64'); // Ta-da

For Node.js v5.11.1 and below

Construct a new Buffer and pass 'base64' as the second argument:

var b64string = /* whatever */;
var buf = new Buffer(b64string, 'base64'); // Ta-da

If you want to be clean, you can check whether from exists :

if (typeof Buffer.from === "function") {
    // Node 5.10+
    buf = Buffer.from(b64string, 'base64'); // Ta-da
} else {
    // older Node versions, now deprecated
    buf = new Buffer(b64string, 'base64'); // Ta-da
}

CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.pdpd_DynamicCall 
AS
DECLARE @SQLString_2 NVARCHAR(4000)
SET NOCOUNT ON
Begin
    --- Create global temp table
    CREATE TABLE ##T1 ( column_1 varchar(10) , column_2 varchar(100) )

    SELECT @SQLString_2 = 'INSERT INTO ##T1( column_1, column_2) SELECT column_1 = "123", column_2 = "MUHAMMAD IMRON"'
    SELECT @SQLString_2 = REPLACE(@SQLString_2, '"', '''')

    EXEC SP_EXECUTESQL @SQLString_2

    --- Test Display records
    SELECT * FROM ##T1

    --- Drop global temp table 
    IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..##T1','u') IS NOT NULL

Angular JS: Full example of GET/POST/DELETE/PUT client for a REST/CRUD backend?

You can implement this way

$resource('http://localhost\\:3000/realmen/:entryId', {entryId: '@entryId'}, {
        UPDATE: {method: 'PUT', url: 'http://localhost\\:3000/realmen/:entryId' },
        ACTION: {method: 'PUT', url: 'http://localhost\\:3000/realmen/:entryId/action' }
    })

RealMen.query() //GET  /realmen/
RealMen.save({entryId: 1},{post data}) // POST /realmen/1
RealMen.delete({entryId: 1}) //DELETE /realmen/1

//any optional method
RealMen.UPDATE({entryId:1}, {post data}) // PUT /realmen/1

//query string
RealMen.query({name:'john'}) //GET /realmen?name=john

What is causing ImportError: No module named pkg_resources after upgrade of Python on os X?

On my system (OSX 10.6) that package is at

/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Extras/lib/python/pkg_resources.py

I hope that helps you figure out if it's missing or just not on your path.

Extract names of objects from list

You can just use:

> names(LIST)
[1] "A" "B"

Obviously the names of the first element is just

> names(LIST)[1]
[1] "A"

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

Can be done in one line:

-- the following expression calculates ==> max(@val1, @val2)
SELECT 0.5 * ((@val1 + @val2) + ABS(@val1 - @val2)) 

Edit: If you're dealing with very large numbers you'll have to convert the value variables into bigint in order to avoid an integer overflow.

Unable to locate an executable at "/usr/bin/java/bin/java" (-1)

JAVA_HOME is not the name of the java executable. But of the directory, java was installed in. The executable should be $JAVA_HOME/bin/java.

The which command is not helpful for you there. It will not give you the java home, but most likely this is just a wrapper or symlink to java installed in a very different directory.

Get name of current class?

import sys

def class_meta(frame):
    class_context = '__module__' in frame.f_locals
    assert class_context, 'Frame is not a class context'

    module_name = frame.f_locals['__module__']
    class_name = frame.f_code.co_name
    return module_name, class_name

def print_class_path():
    print('%s.%s' % class_meta(sys._getframe(1)))

class MyClass(object):
    print_class_path()

Could not find default endpoint element

This error can arise if you are calling the service in a class library and calling the class library from another project.

MS SQL compare dates?

SELECT CASE WHEN CAST(date1 AS DATE) <= CAST(date2 AS DATE) ...

Should do what you need.

Test Case

WITH dates(date1, date2, date3, date4)
     AS (SELECT CAST('20101231 15:13:48.593' AS DATETIME),
                CAST('20101231 00:00:00.000' AS DATETIME),
                CAST('20101231 15:13:48.593' AS DATETIME),
                CAST('20101231 00:00:00.000' AS DATETIME))
SELECT CASE
         WHEN CAST(date1 AS DATE) <= CAST(date2 AS DATE) THEN 'Y'
         ELSE 'N'
       END AS COMPARISON_WITH_CAST,
       CASE
         WHEN date3 <= date4 THEN 'Y'
         ELSE 'N'
       END AS COMPARISON_WITHOUT_CAST
FROM   dates 

Returns

COMPARISON_WITH_CAST   |  COMPARISON_WITHOUT_CAST
Y                         N

Programmatically check Play Store for app updates

You can try following code using Jsoup

String latestVersion = doc.getElementsContainingOwnText("Current Version").parents().first().getAllElements().last().text();

Error in model.frame.default: variable lengths differ

Joran suggested to first remove the NAs before running the model. Thus, I removed the NAs, run the model and obtained the residuals. When I updated model2 by inclusion of the lagged residuals, the error message did not appear again.

Remove NAs

df2<-df1[complete.cases(df1),]

Run the main model

model2<-gam(death ~ pm10 + s(trend,k=14*7)+ s(temp,k=5), data=df2, family=poisson)

Obtain residuals

resid2 <- residuals(model2,type="deviance")

Update model2 by including the lag 1 residuals

model2_1 <- update(model2,.~.+ Lag(resid2,1),  na.action=na.omit)

Read SQL Table into C# DataTable

var table = new DataTable();    
using (var da = new SqlDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM mytable", "connection string"))
{      
    da.Fill(table);
}

Find nearest latitude/longitude with an SQL query

It sounds like you want to do a nearest neighbour search with some bound on the distance. SQL does not support anything like this as far as I am aware and you would need to use an alternative data structure such as an R-tree or kd-tree.

Django: TemplateSyntaxError: Could not parse the remainder

In templates/admin/includes_grappelli/header.html, line 12, you forgot to put admin:password_change between '.

The url Django tag syntax should always be like:

{% url 'your_url_name' %}

Entity Framework Queryable async

There is a massive difference in the example you have posted, the first version:

var urls = await context.Urls.ToListAsync();

This is bad, it basically does select * from table, returns all results into memory and then applies the where against that in memory collection rather than doing select * from table where... against the database.

The second method will not actually hit the database until a query is applied to the IQueryable (probably via a linq .Where().Select() style operation which will only return the db values which match the query.

If your examples were comparable, the async version will usually be slightly slower per request as there is more overhead in the state machine which the compiler generates to allow the async functionality.

However the major difference (and benefit) is that the async version allows more concurrent requests as it doesn't block the processing thread whilst it is waiting for IO to complete (db query, file access, web request etc).

How to assign a heredoc value to a variable in Bash?

VAR=<<END
abc
END

doesn't work because you are redirecting stdin to something that doesn't care about it, namely the assignment

export A=`cat <<END
sdfsdf
sdfsdf
sdfsfds
END
` ; echo $A

works, but there's a back-tic in there that may stop you from using this. Also, you should really avoid using backticks, it's better to use the command substitution notation $(..).

export A=$(cat <<END
sdfsdf
sdfsdf
sdfsfds
END
) ; echo $A

How can I exclude a directory from Visual Studio Code "Explore" tab?

In newer versions of VS Code, you navigate to settings (Ctrl+,), and make sure to select Workspace Settings at the top right.

enter image description here

Then add a files.exclude option to specify patterns to exclude.

You can also add search.exclude if you only want to exclude a file from search results, and not from the folder explorer.

Smart cast to 'Type' is impossible, because 'variable' is a mutable property that could have been changed by this time

1) Also you can use lateinit If you sure do your initialization later on onCreate() or elsewhere.

Use this

lateinit var left: Node

Instead of this

var left: Node? = null

2) And there is other way that use !! end of variable when you use it like this

queue.add(left!!) // add !!

Date Comparison using Java

If for some reason you're intent on using Date objects for your solution, you'll need to do something like this:


    // Convert user input into year, month, and day integers
    Date toDate = new Date(year - 1900, month - 1, day + 1);
    Date currentDate = new Date();
    boolean runThatReport = toDate.after(currentDate);

Shifting the toDate ahead to midnight of the next day will take care of the bug I've whined about in the comments to other answers. But, note that this approach uses a deprecated constructor; any approach relying on Date will use one deprecated method or another, and depending on how you do it may lead to race conditions as well (if you base toDate off of new Date() and then fiddle around with the year, month, and day, for instance). Use Calendar, as described elsewhere.

Hibernate Criteria for Dates

try this,

    String dateStr = "17-April-2011 19:20:23.707000000 ";
    Date dateForm = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMMM-yyyy HH:mm:ss").parse(dateStr);
    SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");  

    String newDate = format.format(dateForm);  

    Calendar today = Calendar.getInstance();
    Date fromDate = format.parse(newDate);
    today.setTime(fromDate);
    today.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR, 1);
    Date toDate= new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy").parse(format.format(today.getTime()));

    Criteria crit = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().createCriteria(Model.class);
    crit.add(Restrictions.ge("dateFieldName", fromDate));
    crit.add(Restrictions.le("dateFieldName", toDate));
    return crit.list();
