Programs & Examples On #Elapsed

Measuring elapsed time with the Time module

time.time() will do the job.

import time

start = time.time()
# run your code
end = time.time()

elapsed = end - start

You may want to look at this question, but I don't think it will be necessary.

Why use Ruby's attr_accessor, attr_reader and attr_writer?

All of the answers above are correct; attr_reader and attr_writer are more convenient to write than manually typing the methods they are shorthands for. Apart from that they offer much better performance than writing the method definition yourself. For more info see slide 152 onwards from this talk (PDF) by Aaron Patterson.

How to move Jenkins from one PC to another

Sometimes we may not have access to a Jenkins machine to copy a folder directly into another Jenkins instance. So I wrote a menu driven utility which uses Jenkins REST API calls to install plugins and jobs from one Jenkins instance to another.

For plugin migration:

  1. GET request: {SOURCE_JENKINS_SERVER}/pluginManager/api/json?depth=1 will get you the list of plugins installed with their version.
  2. You can send a POST request with the following parameters to install these plugins.

    final_url=`{DESTINATION_JENKINS_SERVER}/pluginManager/installNecessaryPlugins`
    
    data=`<jenkins><install plugin="{PLUGIN_NAME}@latest"/></jenkins>` (where, latest will fetch the latest version of the plugin_name)
    
    auth=`(destination_jenkins_username, destination_jenkins_password)`
    
    header=`{crumb_field:crumb_value,"Content-Type":"application/xml”}` (where crumb_field=Jenkins-Crumb and get crumb value using API call {DESTINATION_JENKINS_SERVER}/crumbIssuer/api/json
    

For job migration:

  1. You can get the list of jobs installed on {SOURCE_JENKINS_URL} using a REST call, {SOURCE_JENKINS_URL}/view/All/api/json
  2. Then you can get each job config.xml file from the jobs on {SOURCE_JENKINS_URL} using the job URL {SOURCE_JENKINS_URL}/job/{JOB_NAME}.
  3. Use this config.xml file to POST the content of the XML file on {DESTINATION_JENKINS_URL} and that will create a job on {DESTINATION_JENKINS_URL}.

I have created a menu-driven utility in Python which asks the user to start plugin or Jenkins migration and uses Jenkins REST API calls to do it.

You can refer the JenkinsMigration.docx from this URL

Replace "\\" with "\" in a string in C#

Try -

var newstring = @"a\\b".Replace(@"\\",@"\");

Emulating a do-while loop in Bash

Place the body of your loop after the while and before the test. The actual body of the while loop should be a no-op.

while 
    check_if_file_present
    #do other stuff
    (( current_time <= cutoff ))
do
    :
done

Instead of the colon, you can use continue if you find that more readable. You can also insert a command that will only run between iterations (not before first or after last), such as echo "Retrying in five seconds"; sleep 5. Or print delimiters between values:

i=1; while printf '%d' "$((i++))"; (( i <= 4)); do printf ','; done; printf '\n'

I changed the test to use double parentheses since you appear to be comparing integers. Inside double square brackets, comparison operators such as <= are lexical and will give the wrong result when comparing 2 and 10, for example. Those operators don't work inside single square brackets.

A simple jQuery form validation script

You can simply use the jQuery Validate plugin as follows.

jQuery:

$(document).ready(function () {

    $('#myform').validate({ // initialize the plugin
        rules: {
            field1: {
                required: true,
                email: true
            },
            field2: {
                required: true,
                minlength: 5
            }
        }
    });

});

HTML:

<form id="myform">
    <input type="text" name="field1" />
    <input type="text" name="field2" />
    <input type="submit" />
</form>

How do I programmatically click on an element in JavaScript?

For firefox links appear to be "special". The only way I was able to get this working was to use the createEvent described here on MDN and call the initMouseEvent function. Even that didn't work completely, I had to manually tell the browser to open a link...

var theEvent = document.createEvent("MouseEvent");
theEvent.initMouseEvent("click", true, true, window, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, false, false, false, false, 0, null);
var element = document.getElementById('link');
element.dispatchEvent(theEvent);

while (element)
{
    if (element.tagName == "A" && element.href != "")
    {
        if (element.target == "_blank") { window.open(element.href, element.target); }
        else { document.location = element.href; }
        element = null;
    }
    else
    {
        element = element.parentElement;
    }
}

Understanding checked vs unchecked exceptions in Java

1) No, a NumberFormatException is an unchecked Exception. Even though you caught it (you aren't required to) because it's unchecked. This is because it is a subclass of IllegalArgumentException which is a subclass of RuntimeException.

2) RuntimeException is the root of all unchecked Exceptions. Every subclass of RuntimeException is unchecked. All other Exceptions and Throwable are checked except for Errors ( Which comes under Throwable).

3/4) You could alert the user that they picked a non-existent file and ask for a new one. Or just quit informing the user that they entered something invalid.

5) Throwing and catching 'Exception' is bad practice. But more generally, you might throw other exceptions so the caller can decide how to deal with it. For example, if you wrote a library to handle reading some file input and your method was passed a non-existent file, you have no idea how to handle that. Does the caller want to ask again or quit? So you throw the Exception up the chain back to the caller.

In many cases, an unchecked Exception occurs because the programmer did not verify inputs (in the case of NumberFormatException in your first question). That's why its optional to catch them, because there are more elegant ways to avoid generating those exceptions.

How to get the first item from an associative PHP array?

Just so that we have some other options: reset($arr); good enough if you're not trying to keep the array pointer in place, and with very large arrays it incurs an minimal amount of overhead. That said, there are some problems with it:

$arr = array(1,2);
current($arr); // 1
next($arr);    // 2
current($arr); // 2
reset($arr);   // 1
current($arr); // 1 !This was 2 before! We've changed the array's pointer.

The way to do this without changing the pointer:

$arr[reset(array_keys($arr))]; // OR
reset(array_values($arr));

The benefit of $arr[reset(array_keys($arr))]; is that it raises an warning if the array is actually empty.

PHP foreach loop through multidimensional array

$last = count($arr_nav) - 1;

foreach ($arr_nav as $i => $row)
{
    $isFirst = ($i == 0);
    $isLast = ($i == $last);

    echo ... $row['name'] ... $row['url'] ...;
}

jQuery limit to 2 decimal places

You could use a variable to make the calculation and use toFixed when you set the #diskamountUnit element value:

var amount = $("#disk").slider("value") * 1.60;
$("#diskamountUnit").val('$' + amount.toFixed(2));

You can also do that in one step, in the val method call but IMO the first way is more readable:

$("#diskamountUnit").val('$' + ($("#disk").slider("value") * 1.60).toFixed(2));

Array of structs example

You've started right - now you just need to fill the each student structure in the array:

struct student
{
    public int s_id;
    public String s_name, c_name, dob;
}
class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        student[] arr = new student[4];

        for(int i = 0; i < 4; i++)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Please enter StudentId, StudentName, CourseName, Date-Of-Birth");


            arr[i].s_id = Int32.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
            arr[i].s_name = Console.ReadLine();
            arr[i].c_name = Console.ReadLine();
            arr[i].s_dob = Console.ReadLine();
       }
    }
}

Now, just iterate once again and write these information to the console. I will let you do that, and I will let you try to make program to take any number of students, and not just 4.

Load RSA public key from file

Below code works absolutely fine to me and working. This code will read RSA private and public key though java code. You can refer to http://snipplr.com/view/18368/

    import java.security.spec.InvalidKeySpecException;
    import java.security.spec.PKCS8EncodedKeySpec;
    import java.security.spec.X509EncodedKeySpec;

    public class Demo {

        public static final String PRIVATE_KEY="/home/user/private.der";
        public static final String PUBLIC_KEY="/home/user/public.der";

        public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, NoSuchAlgorithmException, InvalidKeySpecException {
            //get the private key
            File file = new File(PRIVATE_KEY);
            FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file);
            DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(fis);

            byte[] keyBytes = new byte[(int) file.length()];
            dis.readFully(keyBytes);
            dis.close();

            PKCS8EncodedKeySpec spec = new PKCS8EncodedKeySpec(keyBytes);
            KeyFactory kf = KeyFactory.getInstance("RSA");
            RSAPrivateKey privKey = (RSAPrivateKey) kf.generatePrivate(spec);
            System.out.println("Exponent :" + privKey.getPrivateExponent());
            System.out.println("Modulus" + privKey.getModulus());

            //get the public key
            File file1 = new File(PUBLIC_KEY);
            FileInputStream fis1 = new FileInputStream(file1);

            RSAPublicKey pubKey = (RSAPublicKey) kf1.generatePublic(spec1);

            System.out.println("Exponent :" + pubKey.getPublicExponent());
            System.out.println("Modulus" + pubKey.getModulus());
        }

How should I escape commas and speech marks in CSV files so they work in Excel?

According to Yashu's instructions, I wrote the following function (it's PL/SQL code, but it should be easily adaptable to any other language).

FUNCTION field(str IN VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
    C_NEWLINE CONSTANT CHAR(1) := '
'; -- newline is intentional

    v_aux VARCHAR2(32000);
    v_has_double_quotes BOOLEAN;

    v_has_newline BOOLEAN;
BEGIN
    v_has_double_quotes := instr(str, '"') > 0;
    v_has_comma := instr(str,',') > 0;
    v_has_newline := instr(str, C_NEWLINE) > 0;

    IF v_has_double_quotes OR v_has_comma OR v_has_newline THEN
        IF v_has_double_quotes THEN
            v_aux := replace(str,'"','""');
        ELSE
            v_aux := str;
        END IF;
        return '"'||v_aux||'"';
    ELSE

END;

ERROR in ./node_modules/css-loader?

Try to run

getting the ng-object selected with ng-change

Instead of setting the ng-model to item.size.code, how about setting it to size:

<select ng-options="size as size.name for size in sizes" 
   ng-model="item" ng-change="update()"></select>

Then in your update() method, $scope.item will be set to the currently selected item.

And whatever code needed item.size.code, can get that property via $scope.item.code.

Fiddle.

Update based on more info in comments:

Use some other $scope property for your select ng-model then:

<select ng-options="size as size.name for size in sizes" 
   ng-model="selectedItem" ng-change="update()"></select>

Controller:

$scope.update = function() {
   $scope.item.size.code = $scope.selectedItem.code
   // use $scope.selectedItem.code and $scope.selectedItem.name here
   // for other stuff ...
}

AngularJS not detecting Access-Control-Allow-Origin header?

Display date/time in user's locale format and time offset

The best solution I've come across is to create [time display="llll" datetime="UTC TIME" /] Tags, and use javascript (jquery) to parse and display it relative to the user's time.

http://momentjs.com/ Moment.js

will display the time nicely.

Get Element value with minidom with Python

I know this question is pretty old now, but I thought you might have an easier time with ElementTree

from xml.etree import ElementTree as ET
import datetime

f = ET.XML(data)

for element in f:
    if element.tag == "currentTime":
        # Handle time data was pulled
        currentTime = datetime.datetime.strptime(element.text, "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
    if element.tag == "cachedUntil":
        # Handle time until next allowed update
        cachedUntil = datetime.datetime.strptime(element.text, "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
    if element.tag == "result":
        # Process list of skills
        pass

I know that's not super specific, but I just discovered it, and so far it's a lot easier to get my head around than the minidom (since so many nodes are essentially white space).

For instance, you have the tag name and the actual text together, just as you'd probably expect:

>>> element[0]
<Element currentTime at 40984d0>
>>> element[0].tag
'currentTime'
>>> element[0].text
'2010-04-12 02:45:45'e

How to make clang compile to llvm IR

If you have multiple source files, you probably actually want to use link-time-optimization to output one bitcode file for the entire program. The other answers given will cause you to end up with a bitcode file for every source file.

Instead, you want to compile with link-time-optimization

clang -flto -c program1.c -o program1.o
clang -flto -c program2.c -o program2.o

and for the final linking step, add the argument -Wl,-plugin-opt=also-emit-llvm

clang -flto -Wl,-plugin-opt=also-emit-llvm program1.o program2.o -o program

This gives you both a compiled program and the bitcode corresponding to it (program.bc). You can then modify program.bc in any way you like, and recompile the modified program at any time by doing

clang program.bc -o program

although be aware that you need to include any necessary linker flags (for external libraries, etc) at this step again.

Note that you need to be using the gold linker for this to work. If you want to force clang to use a specific linker, create a symlink to that linker named "ld" in a special directory called "fakebin" somewhere on your computer, and add the option

-B/home/jeremy/fakebin

to any linking steps above.

Usage of sys.stdout.flush() method

You can see the differences b/w these two

import sys

for i in range(1,10 ):
    sys.stdout.write(str(i))
    sys.stdout.flush()

for i in range(1,10 ):
    print i

Specify system property to Maven project

If your test and webapp are in the same Maven project, you can use a property in the project POM. Then you can filter certain files which will allow Maven to set the property in those files. There are different ways to filter, but the most common is during the resources phase - http://books.sonatype.com/mvnref-book/reference/resource-filtering-sect-description.html

If the test and webapp are in different Maven projects, you can put the property in settings.xml, which is in your maven repository folder (C:\Documents and Settings\username.m2) on Windows. You will still need to use filtering or some other method to read the property into your test and webapp.

How would I extract a single file (or changes to a file) from a git stash?

$ git checkout stash@{0} -- <filename>

Notes:

  1. Make sure you put space after the "--" and the file name parameter

  2. Replace zero(0) with your specific stash number. To get stash list, use:

    git stash list

Jquery Chosen plugin - dynamically populate list by Ajax

The solution of @Ashivad mostly fixed my problem, but I needed to make this one-line addition to prevent the input to be erased after the results dropdown is displayed:

in success callback of the autocomplete added this line after triggering chosen:updated:

$combosearchChosen.find('input').val(request.term);

Complete listing:

var $combosearch = $('[data-combosearch]');
if (!$combosearch.length) {
  return;
}

var options = $combosearch.data('options');
console.log('combosearch', $combosearch, options);

$combosearch.chosen({
  no_results_text: "Oops, nothing found!",
  width: "60%"
});

// actual chosen container
var $combosearchChosen = $combosearch.next();

$combosearchChosen.find('input').autocomplete({
  source: function( request, response ) {
    $.ajax({
      url: options.remote_source + "&query=" + request.term,
      dataType: "json",
      beforeSend: function(){
        $('ul.chosen-results').empty();
      },
      success: function( data ) {
        response( $.map( data, function( item, index ) {
          $combosearch.append('<option value="' + item.id + '">' + item.label + '</option>');
        }));
        $combosearch.trigger('chosen:updated');
        $combosearchChosen.find('input').val(request.term);
      }
    });
  }
});

How to manually set an authenticated user in Spring Security / SpringMVC

Turn on debug logging to get a better picture of what is going on.

You can tell if the session cookies are being set by using a browser-side debugger to look at the headers returned in HTTP responses. (There are other ways too.)

One possibility is that SpringSecurity is setting secure session cookies, and your next page requested has an "http" URL instead of an "https" URL. (The browser won't send a secure cookie for an "http" URL.)

How to split a string between letters and digits (or between digits and letters)?

Use two different patterns: [0-9]* and [a-zA-Z]* and split twice by each of them.

What is the difference between resource and endpoint?

The terms resource and endpoint are often used synonymously. But in fact they do not mean the same thing.

The term endpoint is focused on the URL that is used to make a request.
The term resource is focused on the data set that is returned by a request.

Now, the same resource can often be accessed by multiple different endpoints.
Also the same endpoint can return different resources, depending on a query string.

Let us see some examples:

Different endpoints accessing the same resource

Have a look at the following examples of different endpoints:

/api/companies/5/employees/3
/api/v2/companies/5/employees/3
/api/employees/3

They obviously could all access the very same resource in a given API.

Also an existing API could be changed completely. This could lead to new endpoints that would access the same old resources using totally new and different URLs:

/api/employees/3
/new_api/staff/3

One endpoint accessing different resources

If your endpoint returns a collection, you could implement searching/filtering/sorting using query strings. As a result the following URLs all use the same endpoint (/api/companies), but they can return different resources (or resource collections, which by definition are resources in themselves):

/api/companies
/api/companies?sort=name_asc
/api/companies?location=germany
/api/companies?search=siemens

Load external css file like scripts in jquery which is compatible in ie also

Quick function based on responses.

loadCSS = function(href) {

  var cssLink = $("<link>");
  $("head").append(cssLink); //IE hack: append before setting href

  cssLink.attr({
    rel:  "stylesheet",
    type: "text/css",
    href: href
  });

};

Usage:

loadCSS("/css/file.css");

Getting Keyboard Input

If you have Java 6 (You should have, btw) or higher, then simply do this :

 Console console = System.console();
 String str = console.readLine("Please enter the xxxx : ");

Please remember to do :

 import java.io.Console;

Thats it!

What is dynamic programming?

Memoization is the when you store previous results of a function call (a real function always returns the same thing, given the same inputs). It doesn't make a difference for algorithmic complexity before the results are stored.

Recursion is the method of a function calling itself, usually with a smaller dataset. Since most recursive functions can be converted to similar iterative functions, this doesn't make a difference for algorithmic complexity either.

Dynamic programming is the process of solving easier-to-solve sub-problems and building up the answer from that. Most DP algorithms will be in the running times between a Greedy algorithm (if one exists) and an exponential (enumerate all possibilities and find the best one) algorithm.

  • DP algorithms could be implemented with recursion, but they don't have to be.
  • DP algorithms can't be sped up by memoization, since each sub-problem is only ever solved (or the "solve" function called) once.

Apache HttpClient Interim Error: NoHttpResponseException

Nowadays, most HTTP connections are considered persistent unless declared otherwise. However, to save server ressources the connection is rarely kept open forever, the default connection timeout for many servers is rather short, for example 5 seconds for the Apache httpd 2.2 and above.

The org.apache.http.NoHttpResponseException error comes most likely from one persistent connection that was closed by the server.

It's possible to set the maximum time to keep unused connections open in the Apache Http client pool, in milliseconds.

With Spring Boot, one way to achieve this:

public class RestTemplateCustomizers {
    static public class MaxConnectionTimeCustomizer implements RestTemplateCustomizer {

        @Override
        public void customize(RestTemplate restTemplate) {
            HttpClient httpClient = HttpClientBuilder
                .create()
                .setConnectionTimeToLive(1000, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
                .build();

            restTemplate.setRequestFactory(
                new HttpComponentsClientHttpRequestFactory(httpClient));
        }
    }
}

// In your service that uses a RestTemplate
public MyRestService(RestTemplateBuilder builder ) {
    restTemplate = builder
         .customizers(new RestTemplateCustomizers.MaxConnectionTimeCustomizer())
         .build();
}

How do I ZIP a file in C#, using no 3rd-party APIs?

How can I programatically (C#) ZIP a file (in Windows) without using any third party libraries?

If using the 4.5+ Framework, there is now the ZipArchive and ZipFile classes.

using (ZipArchive zip = ZipFile.Open("test.zip", ZipArchiveMode.Create))
{
    zip.CreateEntryFromFile(@"c:\something.txt", "data/path/something.txt");
}

You need to add references to:

  • System.IO.Compression
  • System.IO.Compression.FileSystem

For .NET Core targeting net46, you need to add dependencies for

  • System.IO.Compression
  • System.IO.Compression.ZipFile

Example project.json:

"dependencies": {
  "System.IO.Compression": "4.1.0",
  "System.IO.Compression.ZipFile": "4.0.1"
},

"frameworks": {
  "net46": {}
}

For .NET Core 2.0, just adding a simple using statement is all that is needed:

  • using System.IO.Compression;

Intel HAXM installation error - This computer does not support Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x)

I already tried all of the possible solutions on stackoverflow and didn't work What I tried:

  1. Disable Hyper-V in windows feature
  2. Disable Hyper-V with command
  3. Disable Device Guard
  4. etc etc Above solution still give me information about Hyper-V in System Information and the HAXM still failed to install.

But finally I found the solution, you have to disable Hyper-V from System Configuration:

  1. Open System Configuration
  2. Click Service tab
  3. Uncheck all of Hyper-V related

Check System Information then Hyper-V is off now

Bash checking if string does not contain other string

Bash allow u to use =~ to test if the substring is contained. Ergo, the use of negate will allow to test the opposite.

fullstring="123asdf123"
substringA=asdf
substringB=gdsaf
# test for contains asdf, gdsaf and for NOT CONTAINS gdsaf 
[[ $fullstring =~ $substring ]] && echo "found substring $substring in $fullstring"
[[ $fullstring =~ $substringB ]] && echo "found substring $substringB in $fullstring" || echo "failed to find"
[[ ! $fullstring =~ $substringB ]] && echo "did not find substring $substringB in $fullstring"

How do you close/hide the Android soft keyboard using Java?

you can create Extension function for any View

fun View.hideKeyboard() = this.let {
    val imm = context.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE) as InputMethodManager
    imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(windowToken, 0)
}

Example use with Activity

window.decorView.hideKeyboard();

Example use with View

etUsername.hideKeyboard();

React onClick and preventDefault() link refresh/redirect?

React events are actually Synthetic Events, not Native Events. As it is written here:

Event delegation: React doesn't actually attach event handlers to the nodes themselves. When React starts up, it starts listening for all events at the top level using a single event listener. When a component is mounted or unmounted, the event handlers are simply added or removed from an internal mapping. When an event occurs, React knows how to dispatch it using this mapping. When there are no event handlers left in the mapping, React's event handlers are simple no-ops.

Try to use Use Event.stopImmediatePropagation:

upvote: (e) ->
  e.stopPropagation();
  e.nativeEvent.stopImmediatePropagation();

What's the difference between HEAD, working tree and index, in Git?

The difference between HEAD (current branch or last committed state on current branch), index (aka. staging area) and working tree (the state of files in checkout) is described in "The Three States" section of the "1.3 Git Basics" chapter of Pro Git book by Scott Chacon (Creative Commons licensed).

Here is the image illustrating it from this chapter:

Local Operations - working directory vs. staging area (index) vs git repository (HEAD)

In the above image "working directory" is the same as "working tree", the "staging area" is an alternate name for git "index", and HEAD points to currently checked out branch, which tip points to last commit in the "git directory (repository)"

Note that git commit -a would stage changes and commit in one step.

How do I include a Perl module that's in a different directory?

use <your lib>;

What is String pool in Java?

When the JVM loads classes, or otherwise sees a literal string, or some code interns a string, it adds the string to a mostly-hidden lookup table that has one copy of each such string. If another copy is added, the runtime arranges it so that all the literals refer to the same string object. This is called "interning". If you say something like

String s = "test";
return (s == "test");

it'll return true, because the first and second "test" are actually the same object. Comparing interned strings this way can be much, much faster than String.equals, as there's a single reference comparison rather than a bunch of char comparisons.

You can add a string to the pool by calling String.intern(), which will give you back the pooled version of the string (which could be the same string you're interning, but you'd be crazy to rely on that -- you often can't be sure exactly what code has been loaded and run up til now and interned the same string). The pooled version (the string returned from intern) will be equal to any identical literal. For example:

String s1 = "test";
String s2 = new String("test");  // "new String" guarantees a different object

System.out.println(s1 == s2);  // should print "false"

s2 = s2.intern();
System.out.println(s1 == s2);  // should print "true"

Round a divided number in Bash

Good Solution is to get Nearest Round Number is

var=2.5
echo $var | awk '{print int($1+0.5)}'

Logic is simple if the var decimal value is less then .5 then closest value taken is integer value. Well if decimal value is more than .5 then next integer value gets added and since awk then takes only integer part. Issue solved

Can I dynamically add HTML within a div tag from C# on load event?

You could reference controls inside the master page this way:

void Page_Load()
{
    ContentPlaceHolder cph;
    Literal lit;

    cph = (ContentPlaceHolder)Master.FindControl("ContentPlaceHolder1");

    if (cph != null) {
        lit = (Literal) cph.FindControl("Literal1");
        if (lit != null) {
            lit.Text = "Some <b>HTML</b>";
        }
    }

}

In this example you have to put a Literal control in your ContentPlaceholder.

Mysql: Select rows from a table that are not in another

A standard LEFT JOIN could resolve the problem and, if the fields on join are indexed,
should also be faster

SELECT *
FROM Table1 as t1 LEFT JOIN Table2 as t2 
ON t1.FirstName = t2.FirstName AND t1.LastName=t2.LastName
WHERE t2.BirthDate Is Null

ValueError: could not broadcast input array from shape (224,224,3) into shape (224,224)

This method does not need to modify dtype or ravel your numpy array.

The core idea is: 1.initialize with one extra row. 2.change the list(which has one more row) to array 3.delete the extra row in the result array e.g.

>>> a = [np.zeros((10,224)), np.zeros((10,))]
>>> np.array(a)
# this will raise error,
ValueError: could not broadcast input array from shape (10,224) into shape (10)

# but below method works
>>> a = [np.zeros((11,224)), np.zeros((10,))]
>>> b = np.array(a)
>>> b[0] = np.delete(b[0],0,0)
>>> print(b.shape,b[0].shape,b[1].shape)
# print result:(2,) (10,224) (10,)

Indeed, it's not necessarily to add one more row, as long as you can escape from the gap stated in @aravk33 and @user707650 's answer and delete the extra item later, it will be fine.

Can I Set "android:layout_below" at Runtime Programmatically?

How to change the default GCC compiler in Ubuntu?

Here's a complete example of jHackTheRipper's answer for the TL;DR crowd. :-) In this case, I wanted to run g++-4.5 on an Ubuntu system that defaults to 4.6. As root:

apt-get install g++-4.5
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-4.6 100
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-4.5 50
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.6 100
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.5 50
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/cpp cpp-bin /usr/bin/cpp-4.6 100
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/cpp cpp-bin /usr/bin/cpp-4.5 50
update-alternatives --set g++ /usr/bin/g++-4.5
update-alternatives --set gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.5
update-alternatives --set cpp-bin /usr/bin/cpp-4.5

Here, 4.6 is still the default (aka "auto mode"), but I explicitly switch to 4.5 temporarily (manual mode). To go back to 4.6:

update-alternatives --auto g++
update-alternatives --auto gcc
update-alternatives --auto cpp-bin

(Note the use of cpp-bin instead of just cpp. Ubuntu already has a cpp alternative with a master link of /lib/cpp. Renaming that link would remove the /lib/cpp link, which could break scripts.)

What is the difference between .yaml and .yml extension?

File extensions do not have any bearing or impact on the content of the file. You can hold YAML content in files with any extension: .yml, .yaml or indeed anything else.

The (rather sparse) YAML FAQ recommends that you use .yaml in preference to .yml, but for historic reasons many Windows programmers are still scared of using extensions with more than three characters and so opt to use .yml instead.

So, what really matters is what is inside the file, rather than what its extension is.

java.util.Date format conversion yyyy-mm-dd to mm-dd-yyyy

Please change small "mm" month to capital "MM" it will work.for reference below is the sample code.

        Date myDate = new Date();
        SimpleDateFormat sm = new SimpleDateFormat("MM-dd-yyyy");
       
        String strDate = sm.format(myDate);
        
        Date dt = sm.parse(strDate);
        System.out.println(strDate);

Method to Add new or update existing item in Dictionary

Could there be any problem if i replace Method-1 by Method-2?

No, just use map[key] = value. The two options are equivalent.


Regarding Dictionary<> vs. Hashtable: When you start Reflector, you see that the indexer setters of both classes call this.Insert(key, value, add: false); and the add parameter is responsible for throwing an exception, when inserting a duplicate key. So the behavior is the same for both classes.

SQL join on multiple columns in same tables

You want to join on condition 1 AND condition 2, so simply use the AND keyword as below

ON a.userid = b.sourceid AND a.listid = b.destinationid;

What is managed or unmanaged code in programming?

In as few words as possible:

  • managed code = .NET programs
  • unmanaged code = "normal" programs

Not an enclosing class error Android Studio

Intent myIntent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, Katra_home.class);
startActivity(myIntent);

This Should the perfect one :)

How can you strip non-ASCII characters from a string? (in C#)

I found the following slightly altered range useful for parsing comment blocks out of a database, this means that you won't have to contend with tab and escape characters which would cause a CSV field to become upset.

parsememo = Regex.Replace(parsememo, @"[^\u001F-\u007F]", string.Empty);

If you want to avoid other special characters or particular punctuation check the ascii table

Should you choose the MONEY or DECIMAL(x,y) datatypes in SQL Server?

Well, I like MONEY! It's a byte cheaper than DECIMAL, and the computations perform quicker because (under the covers) addition and subtraction operations are essentially integer operations. @SQLMenace's example—which is a great warning for the unaware—could equally be applied to INTegers, where the result would be zero. But that's no reason not to use integers—where appropriate.

So, it's perfectly 'safe' and appropriate to use MONEY when what you are dealing with is MONEY and use it according to mathematical rules that it follows (same as INTeger).

Would it have been better if SQL Server promoted division and multiplication of MONEY's into DECIMALs (or FLOATs?)—possibly, but they didn't choose to do this; nor did they choose to promote INTegers to FLOATs when dividing them.

MONEY has no precision issue; that DECIMALs get to have a larger intermediate type used during calculations is just a 'feature' of using that type (and I'm not actually sure how far that 'feature' extends).

To answer the specific question, a "compelling reason"? Well, if you want absolute maximum performance in a SUM(x) where x could be either DECIMAL or MONEY, then MONEY will have an edge.

Also, don't forget it's smaller cousin, SMALLMONEY—just 4 bytes, but it does max out at 214,748.3647 - which is pretty small for money—and so is not often a good fit.

To prove the point around using larger intermediate types, if you assign the intermediate explicitly to a variable, DECIMAL suffers the same problem:

declare @a decimal(19,4)
declare @b decimal(19,4)
declare @c decimal(19,4)
declare @d decimal(19,4)

select @a = 100, @b = 339, @c = 10000

set @d = @a/@b

set @d = @d*@c

select @d

Produces 2950.0000 (okay, so at least DECIMAL rounded rather than MONEY truncated—same as an integer would.)

Is using 'var' to declare variables optional?

Consider this question asked at StackOverflow today:

Simple Javascript question

A good test and a practical example is what happens in the above scenario...
The developer used the name of the JavaScript function in one of his variables.

What's the problem with the code?
The code only works the first time the user clicks the button.

What's the solution?
Add the var keyword before the variable name.

How do I configure HikariCP in my Spring Boot app in my application.properties files?

I'm using Spring Boot 2.0.4.RELEASE. Hikari is default connection pool and .hikari is no longer necessary.

application.properties

spring.datasource.driverClassName=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
spring.datasource.jdbcUrl=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/myDB...
spring.datasource.username=xxx
spring.datasource.password=xxx
spring.datasource.poolname=myPool

application.yml

spring:
    datasource:
        driverClassName: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
        jdbcUrl: jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/myDB...
        username: xxx
        password: xxx
        poolName: myPool

And configuration does not need to extend HikariConfig, and DataSourceBuilder can be used as it was before.

@Configuration
public class DataSourceConfiguration {

    @Bean(name="myDataSource")
    @ConfigurationProperties("spring.datasource")
    public DataSource myDataSource() {
        return DataSourceBuilder.create().build();
    }
}

Use YAML with variables

Rails / ruby frameworks are able to do some templating ... it's frequently used to load env variables ...

# fooz.yml
  foo:
    bar: <%= $ENV[:some_var] %>

No idea if this works for javascript frameworks as I think that YML format is superset of json and it depends on what reads the yml file for you.

If you can use the template like that or the << >> or the {{ }} styles depending on your reader, after that you just ...

In another yml file ...

# boo.yml

development:
  fooz: foo

Which allows you to basically insert a variable as your reference that original file each time which is dynamically set. When reading I was also seeing you can create or open YML files as objects on the fly for several languages which allows you to create a file & chain write a series of YML files or just have them all statically pointing to the dynamically created one.

Convert IQueryable<> type object to List<T> type?

Then just Select:

var list = source.Select(s=>new { ID = s.ID, Name = s.Name }).ToList();

(edit) Actually - the names could be inferred in this case, so you could use:

var list = source.Select(s=>new { s.ID, s.Name }).ToList();

which saves a few electrons...

How can I find the latitude and longitude from address?

This is how you can find the latitude and longitude of where we have click on map.

public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event, MapView mapView) 
{   
    //---when user lifts his finger---
    if (event.getAction() == 1) 
    {                
        GeoPoint p = mapView.getProjection().fromPixels(
            (int) event.getX(),
            (int) event.getY());

        Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), 
             p.getLatitudeE6() / 1E6 + "," + 
             p.getLongitudeE6() /1E6 , 
             Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }                            
    return false;
} 

it works well.

To get the location's address we can use geocoder class.

Split string with string as delimiter

I recently discovered an interesting trick that allows to "Split String With String As Delimiter", so I couldn't resist the temptation to post it here as a new answer. Note that "obviously the question wasn't accurate. Firstly, both string1 and string2 can contain spaces. Secondly, both string1 and string2 can contain ampersands ('&')". This method correctly works with the new specifications (posted as a comment below Stephan's answer).

@echo off
setlocal

set "str=string1&with spaces by string2&with spaces.txt"

set "string1=%str: by =" & set "string2=%"
set "string2=%string2:.txt=%"

echo "%string1%"
echo "%string2%"

For further details on the split method, see this post.

SQL grouping by month and year

SQL Server 2012 above, I prefer use format() function, more simplify.

SELECT format(date,'MM.yyyy') AS Mjesec, SUM(marketingExpense) AS SumaMarketing, SUM(revenue) AS SumaZarada 
FROM [Order]
WHERE (idCustomer = 1) AND (date BETWEEN '2001-11-3' AND '2011-11-3')
GROUP BY format(date,'MM.yyyy')

The following sections have been defined but have not been rendered for the layout page "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml": "Scripts"

It occurs basically when _Layout.cshtml is without:

@RenderSection("scripts", required: false)

or with

@RenderSection("scripts")  

WITHOUT

required: false

So, Just add @RenderSection("scripts", required: false) in _Layout.cshtml and it works specially for those developers who works with Kendoui genarated projects.

Check if a value is in an array or not with Excel VBA

This Question was asked here: VBA Arrays - Check strict (not approximative) match

Sub test()
    vars1 = Array("Examples")
    vars2 = Array("Example")
    If IsInArray(Range("A1").value, vars1) Then
        x = 1
    End If

    If IsInArray(Range("A1").value, vars2) Then
        x = 1
    End If
End Sub

Function IsInArray(stringToBeFound As String, arr As Variant) As Boolean
    IsInArray = Not IsError(Application.Match(stringToBeFound, arr, 0))
End Function

*ngIf else if in template

This seems to be the cleanest way to do

if (foo === 1) {

} else if (bar === 99) {

} else if (foo === 2) {

} else {

}

in the template:

<ng-container *ngIf="foo === 1; else elseif1">foo === 1</ng-container>
<ng-template #elseif1>
    <ng-container *ngIf="bar === 99; else elseif2">bar === 99</ng-container>
</ng-template>
<ng-template #elseif2>
    <ng-container *ngIf="foo === 2; else else1">foo === 2</ng-container>
</ng-template>
<ng-template #else1>else</ng-template>

Notice that it works like a proper else if statement should when the conditions involve different variables (only 1 case is true at a time). Some of the other answers don't work right in such a case.

aside: gosh angular, that's some really ugly else if template code...

How to remove gaps between subplots in matplotlib?

You can use gridspec to control the spacing between axes. There's more information here.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.gridspec as gridspec

plt.figure(figsize = (4,4))
gs1 = gridspec.GridSpec(4, 4)
gs1.update(wspace=0.025, hspace=0.05) # set the spacing between axes. 

for i in range(16):
   # i = i + 1 # grid spec indexes from 0
    ax1 = plt.subplot(gs1[i])
    plt.axis('on')
    ax1.set_xticklabels([])
    ax1.set_yticklabels([])
    ax1.set_aspect('equal')

plt.show()

axes very close together

Extracting double-digit months and days from a Python date

you can use a string formatter to pad any integer with zeros. It acts just like C's printf.

>>> d = datetime.date.today()
>>> '%02d' % d.month
'03'

Updated for py36: Use f-strings! For general ints you can use the d formatter and explicitly tell it to pad with zeros:

 >>> d = datetime.date.today()
 >>> f"{d.month:02d}"
 '07'

But datetimes are special and come with special formatters that are already zero padded:

 >>> f"{d:%d}"  # the day
 '01'
 >>> f"{d:%m}"  # the month
 '07'

Check if Internet Connection Exists with jQuery?

You can try by sending XHR Requests a few times, and then if you get errors it means there's a problem with the internet connection.

Edit: I found this JQuery script which is doing what you are asking for, I didn't test it though.

How can I capture the result of var_dump to a string?

From http://htmlexplorer.com/2015/01/assign-output-var_dump-print_r-php-variable.html:

var_dump and print_r functions can only output directly to browser. So the output of these functions can only retrieved by using output control functions of php. Below method may be useful to save the output.

function assignVarDumpValueToString($object) {
    ob_start();
    var_dump($object);
    $result = ob_get_clean();
    return $result;
}

ob_get_clean() can only clear last data entered to internal buffer. So ob_get_contents method will be useful if you have multiple entries.

From the same source as above:

function varDumpToErrorLog( $var=null ){
    ob_start();                    // start reading the internal buffer
    var_dump( $var);          
    $grabbed_information = ob_get_contents(); // assigning the internal buffer contents to variable
    ob_end_clean();                // clearing the internal buffer.
    error_log( $grabbed_information);        // saving the information to error_log
}

How do I generate sourcemaps when using babel and webpack?

Even same issue I faced, in browser it was showing compiled code. I have made below changes in webpack config file and it is working fine now.

 devtool: '#inline-source-map',
 debug: true,

and in loaders I kept babel-loader as first option

loaders: [
  {
    loader: "babel-loader",
    include: [path.resolve(__dirname, "src")]
  },
  { test: /\.js$/, exclude: [/app\/lib/, /node_modules/], loader: 'ng-annotate!babel' },
  { test: /\.html$/, loader: 'raw' },
  {
    test: /\.(jpe?g|png|gif|svg)$/i,
    loaders: [
      'file?hash=sha512&digest=hex&name=[hash].[ext]',
      'image-webpack?bypassOnDebug&optimizationLevel=7&interlaced=false'
    ]
  },
  {test: /\.less$/, loader: "style!css!less"},
  { test: /\.styl$/, loader: 'style!css!stylus' },
  { test: /\.css$/, loader: 'style!css' }
]

Remove char at specific index - python

Another option, using list comprehension and join:

''.join([_str[i] for i in xrange(len(_str)) if i  != 4])

Why does git perform fast-forward merges by default?

Let me expand a bit on a VonC's very comprehensive answer:


First, if I remember it correctly, the fact that Git by default doesn't create merge commits in the fast-forward case has come from considering single-branch "equal repositories", where mutual pull is used to sync those two repositories (a workflow you can find as first example in most user's documentation, including "The Git User's Manual" and "Version Control by Example"). In this case you don't use pull to merge fully realized branch, you use it to keep up with other work. You don't want to have ephemeral and unimportant fact when you happen to do a sync saved and stored in repository, saved for the future.

Note that usefulness of feature branches and of having multiple branches in single repository came only later, with more widespread usage of VCS with good merging support, and with trying various merge-based workflows. That is why for example Mercurial originally supported only one branch per repository (plus anonymous tips for tracking remote branches), as seen in older revisions of "Mercurial: The Definitive Guide".


Second, when following best practices of using feature branches, namely that feature branches should all start from stable version (usually from last release), to be able to cherry-pick and select which features to include by selecting which feature branches to merge, you are usually not in fast-forward situation... which makes this issue moot. You need to worry about creating a true merge and not fast-forward when merging a very first branch (assuming that you don't put single-commit changes directly on 'master'); all other later merges are of course in non fast-forward situation.

How to serve all existing static files directly with NGINX, but proxy the rest to a backend server.

Use try_files and named location block ('@apachesite'). This will remove unnecessary regex match and if block. More efficient.

location / {
    root /path/to/root/of/static/files;
    try_files $uri $uri/ @apachesite;

    expires max;
    access_log off;
}

location @apachesite {
    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP  $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
}

Update: The assumption of this config is that there doesn't exist any php script under /path/to/root/of/static/files. This is common in most modern php frameworks. In case your legacy php projects have both php scripts and static files mixed in the same folder, you may have to whitelist all of the file types you want nginx to serve.

How to change Android usb connect mode to charge only?

I have been searching for this for ages on my CM 11 android phone, running kitkat.

Well.. finally I found it. It's hidden in a totally unintuitive location:

  1. Go to settings
  2. Go to storage
  3. Open the menu and choose USB computer connection

Here you can choose between Media Device (MTP), Camera (PTP) and Mass storage (UMS). Turn them all off to get it to charge only.

Sadly, if the option is not there, it is not supported by the phone. This seems to be the case for my HTC One (M7).

Add a properties file to IntelliJ's classpath

I had a similar problem with a log4j.xml file for a unit test, did all of the above. But figured out it was because I was only re-running a failed test....if I re-run the entire test class the correct file is picked up. This is under Intelli-j 9.0.4

Linux Command History with date and time

HISTTIMEFORMAT="%d/%m/%y %H:%M "

For any commands typed prior to this, it will not help since they will just get a default time of when you turned history on, but it will log the time of any further commands after this.

If you want it to log history for permanent, you should put the following line in your ~/.bashrc

export HISTTIMEFORMAT="%d/%m/%y %H:%M "

Python: Best way to add to sys.path relative to the current running script

This is what I use:

sys.path.append(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "lib"))

Converting Integer to Long

Convert an integer directly to long by adding 'L' to the end of Integer.

Long i = 1234L;

How to split an integer into an array of digits?

While list(map(int, str(x))) is the Pythonic approach, you can formulate logic to derive digits without any type conversion:

from math import log10

def digitize(x):
    n = int(log10(x))
    for i in range(n, -1, -1):
        factor = 10**i
        k = x // factor
        yield k
        x -= k * factor

res = list(digitize(5243))

[5, 2, 4, 3]

One benefit of a generator is you can feed seamlessly to set, tuple, next, etc, without any additional logic.

Import file size limit in PHPMyAdmin

The first things to check (or ask your host provider to check) are the values of max_execution_time, upload_max_filesize, memory_limit and post_max_size in the php.ini configuration file. All of these three settings limit the maximum size of data that can be submitted and handled by PHP.

Please note that post_max_size needs to be larger than upload_max_filesize.

How to print a string multiple times?

If you want to print something = '@' 2 times in a line, you can write this:

print(something * 2)

If you want to print 4 lines of something, you can use a for loop:

for i in range(4):
     print(something)

Generating a SHA-256 hash from the Linux command line

echo produces a trailing newline character which is hashed too. Try:

wildcard * in CSS for classes

What you need is called attribute selector. An example, using your html structure, is the following:

div[class^="tocolor-"], div[class*=" tocolor-"] {
    color:red 
}

In the place of div you can add any element or remove it altogether, and in the place of class you can add any attribute of the specified element.

[class^="tocolor-"] — starts with "tocolor-".
[class*=" tocolor-"] — contains the substring "tocolor-" occurring directly after a space character.

Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/K3693/1/

More information on CSS attribute selectors, you can find here and here. And from MDN Docs MDN Docs

ArrayList of String Arrays

Use a second ArrayList for the 3 strings, not a primitive array. Ie.
private List<List<String>> addresses = new ArrayList<List<String>>();

Then you can have:

ArrayList<String> singleAddress = new ArrayList<String>();
singleAddress.add("17 Fake Street");
singleAddress.add("Phoney town");
singleAddress.add("Makebelieveland");

addresses.add(singleAddress);

(I think some strange things can happen with type erasure here, but I don't think it should matter here)

If you're dead set on using a primitive array, only a minor change is required to get your example to work. As explained in other answers, the size of the array can not be included in the declaration. So changing:

private ArrayList<String[]> addresses = new ArrayList<String[3]>();

to

private ArrayList<String[]> addresses = new ArrayList<String[]>();

will work.

Setting a WebRequest's body data

The answers in this topic are all great. However i'd like to propose another one. Most likely you have been given an api and want that into your c# project. Using Postman, you can setup and test the api call there and once it runs properly, you can simply click 'Code' and the request that you have been working on, is written to a c# snippet. like this:

var client = new RestClient("https://api.XXXXX.nl/oauth/token");
client.Timeout = -1;
var request = new RestRequest(Method.POST);
request.AddHeader("Authorization", "Basic   N2I1YTM4************************************jI0YzJhNDg=");
request.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
request.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
request.AddParameter("grant_type", "password");
request.AddParameter("username", "[email protected]");
request.AddParameter("password", "XXXXXXXXXXXXX");
IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);
Console.WriteLine(response.Content);

The code above depends on the nuget package RestSharp, which you can easily install.

Multiple values in single-value context

Here's a generic helper function with assumption checking:

func assumeNoError(value interface{}, err error) interface{} {
    if err != nil {
        panic("error encountered when none assumed:" + err.Error())
    }
    return value
}

Since this returns as an interface{}, you'll generally need to cast it back to your function's return type.

For example, the OP's example called Get(1), which returns (Item, error).

item := assumeNoError(Get(1)).(Item)

The trick that makes this possible: Multi-values returned from one function call can be passed in as multi-variable arguments to another function.

As a special case, if the return values of a function or method g are equal in number and individually assignable to the parameters of another function or method f, then the call f(g(parameters_of_g)) will invoke f after binding the return values of g to the parameters of f in order.


This answer borrows heavily from existing answers, but none had provided a simple, generic solution of this form.

Adding timestamp to a filename with mv in BASH

The few lines you posted from your script look okay to me. It's probably something a bit deeper.

You need to find which line is giving you this error. Add set -xv to the top of your script. This will print out the line number and the command that's being executed to STDERR. This will help you identify where in your script you're getting this particular error.

BTW, do you have a shebang at the top of your script? When I see something like this, I normally expect its an issue with the Shebang. For example, if you had #! /bin/bash on top, but your bash interpreter is located in /usr/bin/bash, you'll see this error.

EDIT

New question: How can I save the file correctly in the first place, to avoid having to perform this fix every time I resend the file?

Two ways:

  1. Select the Edit->EOL Conversion->Unix Format menu item when you edit a file. Once it has the correct line endings, Notepad++ will keep them.
  2. To make sure all new files have the correct line endings, go to the Settings->Preferences menu item, and pull up the Preferences dialog box. Select the New Document/Default Directory tab. Under New Document and Format, select the Unix radio button. Click the Close button.

setState() inside of componentDidUpdate()

You can use setStateinside componentDidUpdate. The problem is that somehow you are creating an infinite loop because there's no break condition.

Based on the fact that you need values that are provided by the browser once the component is rendered, I think your approach about using componentDidUpdate is correct, it just needs better handling of the condition that triggers the setState.

What's the difference between a 302 and a 307 redirect?

Originally there was just 302

Response What browsers should do
302 Found Redo request with new url

The idea is that:

  • if you were doing a GET at some location, you would redo your GET to the new URL
  • if you were doing a POST at some location, you would redo your POST to the new URL
  • if you were doing a PUT at some location, you would redo your PUT to the new URL
  • if you were doing a DELETE at some location, you would redo your DELETE to the new URL
  • etc

Unfortunately every browser did it wrong. When getting a 302, they would always switch to GET at the new URL, rather than retrying the request with the same verb (e.g., POST):

  • Mosaic did it wrong
  • Netscape copied the bugs in Mosaic; so they got it wrong
  • Internet Explorer copied the bugs in Netscape; so they got it wrong

It became de-facto wrong.

All browsers got 302 wrong. So 303 and 307 were created.

Response What browsers should do What browsers actually do
302 Found Redo request with new url GET with new url
303 See Other GET with new url GET with new url
307 Temporary Redirect Redo request with new url Redo request with new url

Is it possible to use vh minus pixels in a CSS calc()?

It does work indeed. Issue was with my less compiler. It was compiled in to:

.container {
  min-height: calc(-51vh);
}

Fixed with the following code in less file:

.container {
  min-height: calc(~"100vh - 150px");
}

Thanks to this link: Less Aggressive Compilation with CSS3 calc

What is the best way to auto-generate INSERT statements for a SQL Server table?

I made a simple to use utility, hope you enjoy.

  • It doesn't need to create any objects on the database (easy to use on production environment).
  • You don't need to install anything. It's just a regular script.
  • You don't need special permissions. Just regular read access is enough.
  • Let you copy all the lines of a table, or specify WHERE conditions so only the lines you want will be generated.
  • Let you specify a single or multiple tables and different condition statements to be generated.

If the generated INSERT statements are being truncated, check the limit text length of the results on the Management Studio Options: Tools > Options, Query Results > SQL Server > Results to Grid, "Non XML data" value under "Maximum Characters Retrieved".

Nginx sites-enabled, sites-available: Cannot create soft-link between config files in Ubuntu 12.04

You need to start by understanding that the target of a symlink is a pathname. And it can be absolute or relative to the directory which contains the symlink

Assuming you have foo.conf in sites-available

Try

cd sites-enabled
sudo ln -s ../sites-available/foo.conf .
ls -l

Now you will have a symlink in sites-enabled called foo.conf which has a target ../sites-available/foo.conf

Just to be clear, the normal configuration for Apache is that the config files for potential sites live in sites-available and the symlinks for the enabled sites live in sites-enabled, pointing at targets in sites-available. That doesn't quite seem to be the case the way you describe your setup, but that is not your primary problem.

If you want a symlink to ALWAYS point at the same file, regardless of the where the symlink is located, then the target should be the full path.

ln -s /etc/apache2/sites-available/foo.conf mysimlink-whatever.conf

Here is (line 1 of) the output of my ls -l /etc/apache2/sites-enabled:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  26 Jun 24 21:06 000-default -> ../sites-available/default

See how the target of the symlink is relative to the directory that contains the symlink (it starts with ".." meaning go up one directory).

Hardlinks are totally different because the target of a hardlink is not a directory entry but a filing system Inode.

To show only file name without the entire directory path

you could add an sed script to your commandline:

ls /home/user/new/*.txt | sed -r 's/^.+\///'

How do you set a default value for a MySQL Datetime column?

I think it simple in mysql since mysql the inbuilt function called now() which gives current time(time of that insert).

So your query should look like similarly

CREATE TABLE defaultforTime(
    `creation_time`     DATETIME DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
    `modification_time` DATETIME default now()
);

Thank you.

In which conda environment is Jupyter executing?

You can also switch environments in Anaconda Navigator, install Jupiter and run it. Anaconda Navigator

Updating address bar with new URL without hash or reloading the page

Changing only what's after hash - old browsers

document.location.hash = 'lookAtMeNow';

Changing full URL. Chrome, Firefox, IE10+

history.pushState('data to be passed', 'Title of the page', '/test');

The above will add a new entry to the history so you can press Back button to go to the previous state. To change the URL in place without adding a new entry to history use

history.replaceState('data to be passed', 'Title of the page', '/test');

Try running these in the console now!

SQL Server: use CASE with LIKE

Add an END at last before alias name.

CASE WHEN countries LIKE '%'+@selCountry+'%' 
     THEN 'national' ELSE 'regional' 
END AS validity

For example:

SELECT CASE WHEN countries LIKE '%'+@selCountry+'%' 
       THEN 'national' ELSE 'regional' 
       END AS validity
FROM TableName

Converting java.util.Properties to HashMap<String,String>

If you know that your Properties object only contains <String, String> entries, you can resort to a raw type:

Properties properties = new Properties();
Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>((Map) properties);

C++ deprecated conversion from string constant to 'char*'

As answer no. 2 by fnieto - Fernando Nieto clearly and correctly describes that this warning is given because somewhere in your code you are doing (not in the code you posted) something like:

void foo(char* str);
foo("hello");

However, if you want to keep your code warning-free as well then just make respective change in your code:

void foo(char* str);
foo((char *)"hello");

That is, simply cast the string constant to (char *).

Find the closest ancestor element that has a specific class

Use element.closest()

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/closest

See this example DOM:

<article>
  <div id="div-01">Here is div-01
    <div id="div-02">Here is div-02
      <div id="div-03">Here is div-03</div>
    </div>
  </div>
</article>

This is how you would use element.closest:

var el = document.getElementById('div-03');

var r1 = el.closest("#div-02");  
// returns the element with the id=div-02

var r2 = el.closest("div div");  
// returns the closest ancestor which is a div in div, here is div-03 itself

var r3 = el.closest("article > div");  
// returns the closest ancestor which is a div and has a parent article, here is div-01

var r4 = el.closest(":not(div)");
// returns the closest ancestor which is not a div, here is the outmost article

angularjs ng-style: background-image isn't working

IF you have data you're waiting for the server to return (item.id) and have a construct like this:

ng-style="{'background-image':'url(https://www.myImageplusitsid/{{item.id}})'}"

Make sure you add something like ng-if="item.id"

Otherwise you'll either have two requests or one faulty.

how to make jni.h be found?

Use the following code:

make -I/usr/lib/jvm/jdk*/include

where jdk* is the directory name of your jdk installation (e.g. jdk1.7.0).

And there wouldn't be a system-wide solution since the directory name would be different with different builds of JDK downloaded and installed. If you desire an automated solution, please include all commands in a single script and run the said script in Terminal.

PHP mailer multiple address

You need to call the AddAddress method once for every recipient. Like so:

$mail->AddAddress('[email protected]', 'Person One');
$mail->AddAddress('[email protected]', 'Person Two');
// ..

Better yet, add them as Carbon Copy recipients.

$mail->AddCC('[email protected]', 'Person One');
$mail->AddCC('[email protected]', 'Person Two');
// ..

To make things easy, you should loop through an array to do this.

$recipients = array(
   '[email protected]' => 'Person One',
   '[email protected]' => 'Person Two',
   // ..
);
foreach($recipients as $email => $name)
{
   $mail->AddCC($email, $name);
}

Import existing Gradle Git project into Eclipse

As of the time of answering this, Eclipse Version: 2020-06 (4.16.0) has a File --> Import --> Gradle --> Existing gradle project menu option.You can use this option to import gradle project into Eclipse directly.

Difference between if () { } and if () : endif;

Personally I prefer making it in two seperate sections but within the same PHP like:

<?php 
    if (question1) { $variable_1 = somehtml; }
    else { $variable_1 = someotherhtml; } 

    if (question2) {
        $variable_2 = somehtml2;
    }

    else { 
        $variable_2 = someotherhtml2;
    }         

etc.
$output=<<<HERE
htmlhtmlhtml$variable1htmlhtmlhtml$varianble2htmletcetcetc
HERE;
echo $output;

?>

But maybe it is slower?

How do I kill a VMware virtual machine that won't die?

Similar, but using WMIC command line to obtain the process ID and path:

WMIC /OUTPUT:C:\ProcessList.txt PROCESS get Caption,Commandline,Processid

This will create a text file with each process and its parameters. You can search in the file for your VM File Path, and get the correct Process ID to end task with.

Thanks to http://windowsxp.mvps.org/listproc.htm for the correct command line parameters.

MySQL root access from all hosts

There's two steps in that process:

a) Grant privileges. As root user execute with this substituting 'password' with your current root password :

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

b) bind to all addresses:

The easiest way is to comment out the line in your my.cnf file:

#bind-address = 127.0.0.1 

and restart mysql

service mysql restart

By default it binds only to localhost, but if you comment the line it binds to all interfaces it finds. Commenting out the line is equivalent to bind-address=*.

To check where mysql service has binded execute as root:

netstat -tupan | grep mysql

How to position three divs in html horizontally?

You add a

float: left;

to the style of the 3 elements and make sure the parent container has

overflow: hidden; position: relative;

this makes sure the floats take up actual space.

<html>
    <head>
        <title>Website Title </title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div id="the-whole-thing" style="position: relative; overflow: hidden;">
            <div id="leftThing" style="position: relative; width: 25%; background-color: blue; float: left;">
                Left Side Menu
            </div>
            <div id="content" style="position: relative; width: 50%; background-color: green; float: left;">
                Random Content
            </div>
            <div id="rightThing" style="position: relative; width: 25%; background-color: yellow; float: left;">
                Right Side Menu
            </div>
        </div>
    </body>
</html>

Also please note that the width: 100% and height: 100% need to be removed from the container, otherwise the 3rd block will wrap to a 2nd line.

Why is JsonRequestBehavior needed?

By default Jsonresult "Deny get"

Suppose if we have method like below

  [HttpPost]
 public JsonResult amc(){}

By default it "Deny Get".

In the below method

public JsonResult amc(){}

When you need to allowget or use get ,we have to use JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet.

public JsonResult amc()
{
 return Json(new Modle.JsonResponseData { Status = flag, Message = msg, Html = html }, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}

Enter key press behaves like a Tab in Javascript

Changing this behaviour actually creates a far better user experience than the default behaviour implemented natively. Consider that the behaviour of the enter key is already inconsistent from the user's point of view, because in a single line input, enter tends to submit a form, while in a multi-line textarea, it simply adds a newline to the contents of the field.

I recently did it like this (uses jQuery):

$('input.enterastab, select.enterastab, textarea.enterastab').live('keydown', function(e) {
 if (e.keyCode==13) {
  var focusable = $('input,a,select,button,textarea').filter(':visible');
  focusable.eq(focusable.index(this)+1).focus();
  return false;
 }
});

This is not terribly efficient, but works well enough and is reliable - just add the 'enterastab' class to any input element that should behave in this way.

Remove HTML Tags in Javascript with Regex

The way I do it is practically a one-liner.

The function creates a Range object and then creates a DocumentFragment in the Range with the string as the child content.

Then it grabs the text of the fragment, removes any "invisible"/zero-width characters, and trims it of any leading/trailing white space.

I realize this question is old, I just thought my solution was unique and wanted to share. :)

function getTextFromString(htmlString) {
    return document
        .createRange()
        // Creates a fragment and turns the supplied string into HTML nodes
        .createContextualFragment(htmlString)
        // Gets the text from the fragment
        .textContent
        // Removes the Zero-Width Space, Zero-Width Joiner, Zero-Width No-Break Space, Left-To-Right Mark, and Right-To-Left Mark characters
        .replace(/[\u200B-\u200D\uFEFF\u200E\u200F]/g, '')
        // Trims off any extra space on either end of the string
        .trim();
}

var cleanString = getTextFromString('<p>Hello world! I <em>love</em> <strong>JavaScript</strong>!!!</p>');

alert(cleanString);

Java int to String - Integer.toString(i) vs new Integer(i).toString()

Although I like fhucho's recommendation of

String.valueOf(i)

The irony is that this method actually calls

Integer.toString(i)

Thus, use String.valueOf(i) if you like how it reads and you don't need radix, but also knowing that it is less efficient than Integer.toString(i).

How do you create a Marker with a custom icon for google maps API v3?

Symbol You Want on Color You Want!

I was looking for this answer for days and here it is the right and easy way to create a custom marker:

'http://chart.googleapis.com/chart?chst=d_map_pin_letter&chld=xxx%7c5680FC%7c000000&.png' where xxx is the text and 5680fc is the hexadecimal color code of the background and 000000 is the hexadecimal color code of the text.

Theses markers are totally dynamic and you can create whatever balloon icon you want. Just change the URL.

Adding whitespace in Java

Use the StringUtils class, it also includes null check

StringUtils.leftPad(String str, int size)
StringUtils.rightPad(String str, int size)

What are alternatives to ExtJS?

Nothing compares to in terms of community size and presence on StackOverflow. Despite previous controversy, Ext JS now has a GPLv3 open source license. Its learning curve is long, but it can be quite rewarding once learned. Ext JS lacks a Material Design theme, and the team has repeatedly refused to release the source code on GitHub. For mobile, one must use the separate Sencha Touch library.

Have in mind also that,

large JavaScript libraries, such as YUI, have been receiving less attention from the community. Many developers today look at large JavaScript libraries as walled gardens they don’t want to be locked into.

-- Announcement of YUI development being ceased

That said, below are a number of Ext JS alternatives currently available.

Leading client widget libraries

  1. Blueprint is a React-based UI toolkit developed by big data analytics company Palantir in TypeScript, and "optimized for building complex data-dense interfaces for desktop applications". Actively developed on GitHub as of May 2019, with comprehensive documentation. Components range from simple (chips, toast, icons) to complex (tree, data table, tag input with autocomplete, date range picker. No accordion or resizer.

    Blueprint targets modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, IE 11, and Microsoft Edge) and is licensed under a modified Apache license.

    Sandbox / demoGitHubDocs

  2. Webix - an advanced, easy to learn, mobile-friendly, responsive and rich free&open source JavaScript UI components library. Webix spun off from DHTMLX Touch (a project with 8 years of development behind it - see below) and went on to become a standalone UI components framework. The GPL3 edition allows commercial use and lets non-GPL applications using Webix keep their license, e.g. MIT, via a license exemption for FLOSS. Webix has 55 UI widgets, including trees, grids, treegrids and charts. Funding comes from a commercial edition with some advanced widgets (Pivot, Scheduler, Kanban, org chart etc.). Webix has an extensive list of free and commercial widgets, and integrates with most popular frameworks (React, Vue, Meteor, etc) and UI components.

    Webix

    Skins look modern, and include a Material Design theme. The Touch theme also looks quite Material Design-ish. See also the Skin Builder.

    Minimal GitHub presence, but includes the library code, and the documentation (which still needs major improvements). Webix suffers from a having a small team and a lack of marketing. However, they have been responsive to user feedback, both on GitHub and on their forum.

    The library was lean (128Kb gzip+minified for all 55 widgets as of ~2015), faster than ExtJS, dojo and others, and the design is pleasant-looking. The current version of Webix (v6, as of Nov 2018) got heavier (400 - 676kB minified but NOT gzipped).

    The demos on Webix.com look and function great. The developer, XB Software, uses Webix in solutions they build for paying customers, so there's likely a good, funded future ahead of it.

    Webix aims for backwards compatibility down to IE8, and as a result carries some technical debt.

  3. react-md - MIT-licensed Material Design UI components library for React. Responsive, accessible. Implements components from simple (buttons, cards) to complex (sortable tables, autocomplete, tags input, calendars). One lead author, ~1900 GitHub stars.

  4. - jQuery-based UI toolkit with 40+ basic open-source widgets, plus commercial professional widgets (grids, trees, charts etc.). Responsive&mobile support. Works with Bootstrap and AngularJS. Modern, with Material Design themes. The documentation is available on GitHub, which has enabled numerous contributions from users (4500+ commits, 500+ PRs as of Jan 2015).

    enter image description here

    Well-supported commercially, claiming millions of developers, and part of a large family of developer tools. Telerik has received many accolades, is a multi-national company (Bulgaria, US), was acquired by Progress Software, and is a thought leader.

    A Kendo UI Professional developer license costs $700 and posting access to most forums is conditioned upon having a license or being in the trial period.

  5. OpenUI5 - jQuery-based UI framework with 180 widgets, Apache 2.0-licensed and fully-open sourced and funded by German software giant SAP SE.

    OpenUI5

    The community is much larger than that of Webix, SAP is hiring developers to grow OpenUI5, and they presented OpenUI5 at OSCON 2014.

    The desktop themes are rather lackluster, but the Fiori design for web and mobile looks clean and neat.

    WikipediaGitHubMobile-first controls demosDesktop controls demosSO

  6. DHTMLX - JavaScript library for building rich Web and Mobile apps. Looks most like ExtJS - check the demos. Has been developed since 2005 but still looks modern. All components except TreeGrid are available under GPLv2 but advanced features for many components are only available in the commercial PRO edition - see for example the tree. Claims to be used by many Fortune 500 companies.

    DHTMLX

    Minimal presence on GitHub (the main library code is missing) and StackOverflow but active forum. The documentation is not available on GitHub, which makes it difficult to improve by the community.

  7. Polymer, a Web Components polyfill, plus Polymer Paper, Google's implementation of the Material design. Aimed at web and mobile apps. Doesn't have advanced widgets like trees or even grids but the controls it provides are mobile-first and responsive. Used by many big players, e.g. IBM or USA Today.

    Polymer Paper Elements

  8. Ant Design claims it is "a design language for background applications", influenced by "nature" and helping designers "create low-entropy atmosphere for developer team". That's probably a poor translation from Chinese for "UI components for enterprise web applications". It's a React UI library written in TypeScript, with many components, from simple (buttons, cards) to advanced (autocomplete, calendar, tag input, table).

    The project was born in China, is popular with Chinese companies, and parts of the documentation are available only in Chinese. Quite popular on GitHub, yet it makes the mistake of splitting the community into Chinese and English chat rooms. The design looks Material-ish, but fonts are small and the information looks lost in a see of whitespace.

  9. PrimeUI - collection of 45+ rich widgets based on jQuery UI. Apache 2.0 license. Small GitHub community. 35 premium themes available.

  10. qooxdoo - "a universal JavaScript framework with a coherent set of individual components", developed and funded by German hosting provider 1&1 (see the contributors, one of the world's largest hosting companies. GPL/EPL (a business-friendly license).

    Mobile themes look modern but desktop themes look old (gradients).

  11. jQuery UI - easy to pick up; looks a bit dated; lacks advanced widgets. Of course, you can combine it with independent widgets for particular needs, e.g. trees or other UI components, but the same can be said for any other framework.

  12. + Angular UI. While Angular is backed by Google, it's being radically revamped in the upcoming 2.0 version, and "users will need to get to grips with a new kind of architecture. It's also been confirmed that there will be no migration path from Angular 1.X to 2.0". Moreover, the consensus seems to be that Angular 2 won't really be ready for use until a year or two from now. Angular UI has relatively few widgets (no trees, for example).

  13. DojoToolkit and their powerful Dijit set of widgets. Completely open-sourced and actively developed on GitHub, but development is now (Nov 2018) focused on the new dojo.io framework, which has very few basic widgets. BSD/AFL license. Development started in 2004 and the Dojo Foundation is being sponsored by IBM, Google, and others - see Wikipedia. 7500 questions here on SO.

    Dojo Dijit

    Themes look desktop-oriented and dated - see the theme tester in dijit. The official theme previewer is broken and only shows "Claro". A Bootstrap theme exists, which looks a lot like Bootstrap, but doesn't use Bootstrap classes. In Jan 2015, I started a thread on building a Material Design theme for Dojo, which got quite popular within the first hours. However, there are questions regarding building that theme for the current Dojo 1.10 vs. the next Dojo 2.0. The response to that thread shows an active and wide community, covering many time zones.

    Unfortunately, Dojo has fallen out of popularity and fewer companies appear to use it, despite having (had?) a strong foothold in the enterprise world. In 2009-2012, its learning curve was steep and the documentation needed improvements; while the documentation has substantially improved, it's unclear how easy it is to pick up Dojo nowadays.

    With a Material Design theme, Dojo (2.0?) might be the killer UI components framework.

  14. Enyo - front-end library aimed at mobile and TV apps (e.g. large touch-friendly controls). Developed by LG Electronix and Apache-licensed on GitHub.

  15. The radical Cappuccino - Objective-J (a superset of JavaScript) instead of HTML+CSS+DOM

  16. Mochaui, MooTools UI Library User Interface Library. <300 GitHub stars.

  17. CrossUI - cross-browser JS framework to develop and package the exactly same code and UI into Web Apps, Native Desktop Apps (Windows, OS X, Linux) and Mobile Apps (iOS, Android, Windows Phone, BlackBerry). Open sourced LGPL3. Featured RAD tool (form builder etc.). The UI looks desktop-, not web-oriented. Actively developed, small community. No presence on GitHub.

  18. ZinoUI - simple widgets. The DataTable, for instance, doesn't even support sorting.

  19. Wijmo - good-looking commercial widgets, with old (jQuery UI) widgets open-sourced on GitHub (their development stopped in 2013). Developed by ComponentOne, a division of GrapeCity. See Wijmo Complete vs. Open.

  20. CxJS - commercial JS framework based on React, Babel and webpack offering form elements, form validation, advanced grid control, navigational elements, tooltips, overlays, charts, routing, layout support, themes, culture dependent formatting and more.

  2. Foundation for Apps - responsive front-end framework on top of AngularJS; more of a grid/layout/navigation library

  3. UI Kit - similar to Bootstrap, with fewer widgets, but with official off-canvas.

Libraries using HTML Canvas

Using the canvas elements allows for complete control over the UI, and great cross-browser compatibility, but comes at the cost of missing native browser functionality, e.g. page search via Ctrl/Cmd+F.

Authenticated HTTP proxy with Java

You're almost there, you just have to append:

-Dhttp.proxyUser=someUserName
-Dhttp.proxyPassword=somePassword

What's the strangest corner case you've seen in C# or .NET?

Public Class Item
   Public ID As Guid
   Public Text As String

   Public Sub New(ByVal id As Guid, ByVal name As String)
      Me.ID = id
      Me.Text = name
   End Sub
End Class

Public Sub Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
   Dim box As New ComboBox
   Me.Controls.Add(box)          'Sorry I forgot this line the first time.'
   Dim h As IntPtr = box.Handle  'Im not sure you need this but you might.'
   Try
      box.Items.Add(New Item(Guid.Empty, Nothing))
   Catch ex As Exception
      MsgBox(ex.ToString())
   End Try
End Sub

The output is "Attempted to read protected memory. This is an indication that other memory is corrupt."

Powershell Invoke-WebRequest Fails with SSL/TLS Secure Channel

If, like me, none of the above quite works, it might be worth also specifically trying a lower TLS version alone. I had tried both of the following, but didn't seem to solve my problem:

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = "tls12, tls11, tls"
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12 -bor [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls11 -bor [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls

In the end, it was only when I targetted TLS 1.0 (specifically remove 1.1 and 1.2 in the code) that it worked:

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls

The local server (that this was being attempted on) is fine with TLS 1.2, although the remote server (which was previously "confirmed" as fine for TLS 1.2 by a 3rd party) seems not to be.

Hope this helps someone.

remove borders around html input

Error handling with PHPMailer

Just had to fix this myself. The above answers don't seem to take into account the $mail->SMTPDebug = 0; option. It may not have been available when the question was first asked.

If you got your code from the PHPMail site, the default will be $mail->SMTPDebug = 2; // enables SMTP debug information (for testing)

https://github.com/Synchro/PHPMailer/blob/master/examples/test_smtp_gmail_advanced.php

Set the value to 0 to suppress the errors and edit the 'catch' part of your code as explained above.

AngularJs event to call after content is loaded

According to documentation of $viewContentLoaded, it supposed to work

Emitted every time the ngView content is reloaded.

$viewContentLoaded event is emitted that means to receive this event you need a parent controller like

<div ng-controller="MainCtrl">
  <div ng-view></div>
</div>

From MainCtrl you can listen the event

  $scope.$on('$viewContentLoaded', function(){
    //Here your view content is fully loaded !!
  });

Android ImageView Fixing Image Size

Try this

ImageView img
    Bitmap bmp;
    int width=100;
    int height=100;
    img=(ImageView)findViewById(R.id.imgView);
    bmp=BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),R.drawable.image);//image is your image                                                            
    bmp=Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bmp, width,height, true);
    img.setImageBitmap(bmp);

Or If you want to load complete image size in memory then you can use

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/img"
    android:layout_width="100dp"
    android:layout_height="100dp"
    android:src="@drawable/image" 
    android:scaleType="fitXY"/>

RESTful API methods; HEAD & OPTIONS

As per: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec9.html

9.2 OPTIONS

The OPTIONS method represents a request for information about the communication options available on the request/response chain identified by the Request-URI. This method allows the client to determine the options and/or requirements associated with a resource, or the capabilities of a server, without implying a resource action or initiating a resource retrieval.

Responses to this method are not cacheable.

If the OPTIONS request includes an entity-body (as indicated by the presence of Content-Length or Transfer-Encoding), then the media type MUST be indicated by a Content-Type field. Although this specification does not define any use for such a body, future extensions to HTTP might use the OPTIONS body to make more detailed queries on the server. A server that does not support such an extension MAY discard the request body.

If the Request-URI is an asterisk ("*"), the OPTIONS request is intended to apply to the server in general rather than to a specific resource. Since a server's communication options typically depend on the resource, the "*" request is only useful as a "ping" or "no-op" type of method; it does nothing beyond allowing the client to test the capabilities of the server. For example, this can be used to test a proxy for HTTP/1.1 compliance (or lack thereof).

If the Request-URI is not an asterisk, the OPTIONS request applies only to the options that are available when communicating with that resource.

A 200 response SHOULD include any header fields that indicate optional features implemented by the server and applicable to that resource (e.g., Allow), possibly including extensions not defined by this specification. The response body, if any, SHOULD also include information about the communication options. The format for such a body is not defined by this specification, but might be defined by future extensions to HTTP. Content negotiation MAY be used to select the appropriate response format. If no response body is included, the response MUST include a Content-Length field with a field-value of "0".

The Max-Forwards request-header field MAY be used to target a specific proxy in the request chain. When a proxy receives an OPTIONS request on an absoluteURI for which request forwarding is permitted, the proxy MUST check for a Max-Forwards field. If the Max-Forwards field-value is zero ("0"), the proxy MUST NOT forward the message; instead, the proxy SHOULD respond with its own communication options. If the Max-Forwards field-value is an integer greater than zero, the proxy MUST decrement the field-value when it forwards the request. If no Max-Forwards field is present in the request, then the forwarded request MUST NOT include a Max-Forwards field.

9.4 HEAD

The HEAD method is identical to GET except that the server MUST NOT return a message-body in the response. The metainformation contained in the HTTP headers in response to a HEAD request SHOULD be identical to the information sent in response to a GET request. This method can be used for obtaining metainformation about the entity implied by the request without transferring the entity-body itself. This method is often used for testing hypertext links for validity, accessibility, and recent modification.

The response to a HEAD request MAY be cacheable in the sense that the information contained in the response MAY be used to update a previously cached entity from that resource. If the new field values indicate that the cached entity differs from the current entity (as would be indicated by a change in Content-Length, Content-MD5, ETag or Last-Modified), then the cache MUST treat the cache entry as stale.

How to load GIF image in Swift?

A solution could be to use adapter functions like these to start using mysqli instead of mysql over your entire application:

if (!function_exists('mysql_connect')) {
    function mysql_connect($host = '', $user = '', $password = '', $database = '', $port = 0, $socket = '') {
        return mysqli_connect($host, $user, $password, $database, $port, $socket);
    }
}


if (!function_exists('mysql_select_db')) {
    function mysql_select_db($link, $dbname) {
        mysqli_select_db($link, $dbname);
    }

How to make python Requests work via socks proxy

I could do this on Linux.

Get generic type of class at runtime

I think there is another elegant solution.

What you want to do is (safely) "pass" the type of the generic type parameter up from the concerete class to the superclass.

If you allow yourself to think of the class type as "metadata" on the class, that suggests the Java method for encoding metadata in at runtime: annotations.

First define a custom annotation along these lines:

import java.lang.annotation.*;

@Target(ElementType.TYPE)
@Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
public @interface EntityAnnotation {
    Class entityClass();
}

You can then have to add the annotation to your subclass.

@EntityAnnotation(entityClass =  PassedGenericType.class)
public class Subclass<PassedGenericType> {...}

Then you can use this code to get the class type in your base class:

import org.springframework.core.annotation.AnnotationUtils;
.
.
.

private Class getGenericParameterType() {
    final Class aClass = this.getClass();
    EntityAnnotation ne = 
         AnnotationUtils.findAnnotation(aClass, EntityAnnotation.class);

    return ne.entityClass();
}

Some limitations of this approach are:

  1. You specify the generic type (PassedGenericType) in TWO places rather than one which is non-DRY.
  2. This is only possible if you can modify the concrete subclasses.

Check whether values in one data frame column exist in a second data frame

Use %in% as follows

A$C %in% B$C

Which will tell you which values of column C of A are in B.

What is returned is a logical vector. In the specific case of your example, you get:

A$C %in% B$C
# [1]  TRUE FALSE  TRUE  TRUE

Which you can use as an index to the rows of A or as an index to A$C to get the actual values:

# as a row index
A[A$C %in% B$C,  ]  # note the comma to indicate we are indexing rows

# as an index to A$C
A$C[A$C %in% B$C]
[1] 1 3 4  # returns all values of A$C that are in B$C

We can negate it too:

A$C[!A$C %in% B$C]
[1] 2   # returns all values of A$C that are NOT in B$C



If you want to know if a specific value is in B$C, use the same function:

  2 %in% B$C   # "is the value 2 in B$C ?"  
  # FALSE

  A$C[2] %in% B$C  # "is the 2nd element of A$C in B$C ?"  
  # FALSE

CSS: Position text in the middle of the page

Even though you've accepted an answer, I want to post this method. I use jQuery to center it vertically instead of css (although both of these methods work). Here is a fiddle, and I'll post the code here anyways.

HTML:

<h1>Hello world!</h1>

Javascript (jQuery):

$(document).ready(function(){
  $('h1').css({ 'width':'100%', 'text-align':'center' });
  var h1 = $('h1').height();
  var h = h1/2;
  var w1 = $(window).height();
  var w = w1/2;
  var m = w - h
  $('h1').css("margin-top",m + "px")
});

This takes the height of the viewport, divides it by two, subtracts half the height of the h1, and sets that number to the margin-top of the h1. The beauty of this method is that it works on multiple-line h1s.

EDIT: I modified it so that it centered it every time the window is resized.

Asserting successive calls to a mock method

assert_has_calls is another approach to this problem.

From the docs:

assert_has_calls (calls, any_order=False)

assert the mock has been called with the specified calls. The mock_calls list is checked for the calls.

If any_order is False (the default) then the calls must be sequential. There can be extra calls before or after the specified calls.

If any_order is True then the calls can be in any order, but they must all appear in mock_calls.

Example:

>>> from unittest.mock import call, Mock
>>> mock = Mock(return_value=None)
>>> mock(1)
>>> mock(2)

How can I convert String to Int?

You can write your own extension method

public static class IntegerExtensions
{
    public static int ParseInt(this string value, int defaultValue = 0)
    {
        int parsedValue;
        if (int.TryParse(value, out parsedValue))
        {
            return parsedValue;
        }

        return defaultValue;
    }

    public static int? ParseNullableInt(this string value)
    {
        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(value))
        {
            return null;
        }

        return value.ParseInt();
    }
}

And wherever in code just call

int myNumber = someString.ParseInt(); // Returns value or 0
int age = someString.ParseInt(18); // With default value 18
int? userId = someString.ParseNullableInt(); // Returns value or null

In this concrete case

int yourValue = TextBoxD1.Text.ParseInt();

Is it possible to import a whole directory in sass using @import?

You might want to retain source order then you can just use this.

@import
  'foo',
  'bar';

I prefer this.

How to get value by class name in JavaScript or jquery?

If you get the the text inside the element use

Text()

$(".element-classname").text();

In your code:

$('.HOEnZb').text();

if you want get all the data including html Tags use:

html()

 $(".element-classname").html();

In your code:

$('.HOEnZb').html();

Hope it helps:)

Inserting a value into all possible locations in a list

Use insert() to insert an element before a given position.

For instance, with

arr = ['A','B','C']
arr.insert(0,'D')

arr becomes ['D','A','B','C'] because D is inserted before the element at index 0.

Now, for

arr = ['A','B','C']
arr.insert(4,'D')

arr becomes ['A','B','C','D'] because D is inserted before the element at index 4 (which is 1 beyond the end of the array).

However, if you are looking to generate all permutations of an array, there are ways to do this already built into Python. The itertools package has a permutation generator.

Here's some example code:

import itertools
arr = ['A','B','C']
perms = itertools.permutations(arr)
for perm in perms:
    print perm

will print out

('A', 'B', 'C')
('A', 'C', 'B')
('B', 'A', 'C')
('B', 'C', 'A')
('C', 'A', 'B')
('C', 'B', 'A')

How to check date of last change in stored procedure or function in SQL server

SELECT name, create_date, modify_date 
FROM sys.objects
WHERE type = 'P'
ORDER BY modify_date DESC

The type for a function is FN rather than P for procedure. Or you can filter on the name column.

Convert date to day name e.g. Mon, Tue, Wed

$date = new \DateTime("now", new \DateTimeZone('Asia/Calcutta') );
         $day = $date->format('D');
         $weekendnaame = weekedName();
         $weekid =$weekendnaame[$day];
          $dayname = 0;
        $weekiarray = weekendArray($weekid);
        foreach ($weekiarray as $key => $value) {
            if (in_array($value, $request->get('week_id')))
          {
            $dayname = $key+1;
            break;
          }
        }


weeknDate($dayname),

function weeked(){
  $week = array("1"=>"Sunday", "2"=>"Monday", "3"=>"Tuesday", "4"=>"Wednesday", "5"=>"Thursday", "6"=>"Friday", "7"=>"Saturday");
  return $week;
}
function weekendArray($day){
        $favcolor = $day;

switch ($favcolor) {
  case 1:
    $array = array(2,3,4,5,6,7,1);
    break;
  case 2:
    $array = array(3,4,5,6,7,1,2);
    break;
  case 3:
    $array = array(4,5,6,7,1,2,3);
    break;
    case 4:
    $array = array(5,6,7,1,2,3,4);
    break;
    case 5:
    $array = array(6,7,1,2,3,4,5);
    break;
    case 6:
    $array = array(7,1,2,3,4,5,6);
    break;
     case 7:
    $array = array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7);
    break;
  default:
    $array = array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7);
}
return  $array;
}
function weekedName(){
  $week = array("Sun"=>0,"Mun"=>1,"Tue"=>3,"Wed"=>4,"Thu"=>5,"Fri"=>6,"Sat"=>7);
  return $week;
}

(How) can I count the items in an enum?

For C++, there are various type-safe enum techniques available, and some of those (such as the proposed-but-never-submitted Boost.Enum) include support for getting the size of a enum.

The simplest approach, which works in C as well as C++, is to adopt a convention of declaring a ...MAX value for each of your enum types:

enum Folders { FA, FB, FC, Folders_MAX = FC };
ContainerClass *m_containers[Folders_MAX + 1];
....
m_containers[FA] = ...; // etc.

Edit: Regarding { FA, FB, FC, Folders_MAX = FC} versus {FA, FB, FC, Folders_MAX]: I prefer setting the ...MAX value to the last legal value of the enum for a few reasons:

  1. The constant's name is technically more accurate (since Folders_MAX gives the maximum possible enum value).
  2. Personally, I feel like Folders_MAX = FC stands out from other entries out a bit more (making it a bit harder to accidentally add enum values without updating the max value, a problem Martin York referenced).
  3. GCC includes helpful warnings like "enumeration value not included in switch" for code such as the following. Letting Folders_MAX == FC + 1 breaks those warnings, since you end up with a bunch of ...MAX enumeration values that should never be included in switch.
switch (folder) 
{
  case FA: ...;
  case FB: ...;
  // Oops, forgot FC!
}

R command for setting working directory to source file location in Rstudio

dirname(parent.frame(2)$ofile)  

doesn't work for me either, but the following (as suggested in https://stackoverflow.com/a/35842176/992088) works for me in ubuntu 14.04

dirname(rstudioapi::getActiveDocumentContext()$path)

How do you get the process ID of a program in Unix or Linux using Python?

If you are not limiting yourself to the standard library, I like psutil for this.

For instance to find all "python" processes:

>>> import psutil
>>> [p.info for p in psutil.process_iter(attrs=['pid', 'name']) if 'python' in p.info['name']]
[{'name': 'python3', 'pid': 21947},
 {'name': 'python', 'pid': 23835}]

How to use select/option/NgFor on an array of objects in Angular2

I don't know what things were like in the alpha, but I'm using beta 12 right now and this works fine. If you have an array of objects, create a select like this:

<select [(ngModel)]="simpleValue"> // value is a string or number
    <option *ngFor="let obj of objArray" [value]="obj.value">{{obj.name}}</option>
</select>

If you want to match on the actual object, I'd do it like this:

<select [(ngModel)]="objValue"> // value is an object
    <option *ngFor="let obj of objArray" [ngValue]="obj">{{obj.name}}</option>
</select>

Print string to text file

If you are using Python3.

then you can use Print Function :

your_data = {"Purchase Amount": 'TotalAmount'}
print(your_data,  file=open('D:\log.txt', 'w'))

For python2

this is the example of Python Print String To Text File

def my_func():
    """
    this function return some value
    :return:
    """
    return 25.256


def write_file(data):
    """
    this function write data to file
    :param data:
    :return:
    """
    file_name = r'D:\log.txt'
    with open(file_name, 'w') as x_file:
        x_file.write('{} TotalAmount'.format(data))


def run():
    data = my_func()
    write_file(data)


run()

What is the purpose of "pip install --user ..."?

On macOS, the reason for using the --user flag is to make sure we don't corrupt the libraries the OS relies on. A conservative approach for many macOS users is to avoid installing or updating pip with a command that requires sudo. Thus, this includes installing to /usr/local/bin...

Ref: Installing python for Neovim (https://github.com/zchee/deoplete-jedi/wiki/Setting-up-Python-for-Neovim)

I'm not all clear why installing into /usr/local/bin is a risk on a Mac given the fact that the system only relies on python binaries in /Library/Frameworks/ and /usr/bin. I suspect it's because as noted above, installing into /usr/local/bin requires sudo which opens the door to making a costly mistake with the system libraries. Thus, installing into ~/.local/bin is a sure fire way to avoid this risk.

Ref: Using python on a Mac (https://docs.python.org/2/using/mac.html)

Finally, to the degree there is a benefit of installing packages into the /usr/local/bin, I wonder if it makes sense to change the owner of the directory from root to user? This would avoid having to use sudo while still protecting against making system-dependent changes.* Is this a security default a relic of how Unix systems were more often used in the past (as servers)? Or at minimum, just a good way to go for Mac users not hosting a server?

*Note: Mac's System Integrity Protection (SIP) feature also seems to protect the user from changing the system-dependent libraries.

Finding the mode of a list

You can use the Counter supplied in the collections package which has a mode-esque function

from collections import Counter
data = Counter(your_list_in_here)
data.most_common()   # Returns all unique items and their counts
data.most_common(1)  # Returns the highest occurring item

Note: Counter is new in python 2.7 and is not available in earlier versions.

Understanding repr( ) function in Python

1) The result of repr('foo') is the string 'foo'. In your Python shell, the result of the expression is expressed as a representation too, so you're essentially seeing repr(repr('foo')).

2) eval calculates the result of an expression. The result is always a value (such as a number, a string, or an object). Multiple variables can refer to the same value, as in:

x = 'foo'
y = x

x and y now refer to the same value.

3) I have no idea what you meant here. Can you post an example, and what you'd like to see?

C# DataTable.Select() - How do I format the filter criteria to include null?

try this:

var result = from r in myDataTable.AsEnumerable()  
            where r.Field<string>("Name") != "n/a" &&  
                  r.Field<string>("Name") != "" select r;  
DataTable dtResult = result.CopyToDataTable();  

"ImportError: No module named" when trying to run Python script

If you are running it from command line, sometimes python interpreter is not aware of the path where to look for modules.

Below is the directory structure of my project:

/project/apps/..
/project/tests/..

I was running below command:

>> cd project

>> python tests/my_test.py

After running above command i got below error

no module named lib

lib was imported in my_test.py

i printed sys.path and figured out that path of project i am working on is not available in sys.path list

i added below code at the start of my script my_test.py .

import sys
import os

module_path = os.path.abspath(os.getcwd())    

if module_path not in sys.path:       

    sys.path.append(module_path)

I am not sure if it is a good way of solving it but yeah it did work for me.

How to show full column content in a Spark Dataframe?

The following answer applies to a Spark Streaming application.

By setting the "truncate" option to false, you can tell the output sink to display the full column.

val query = out.writeStream
          .outputMode(OutputMode.Update())
          .format("console")
          .option("truncate", false)
          .trigger(Trigger.ProcessingTime("5 seconds"))
          .start()

How to add a browser tab icon (favicon) for a website?

Best Practice for Forcing Garbage Collection in C#

I've learned to not try to outsmart the garbage collection. With that said, I just stick to using using keyword when dealing with unmanaged resources like file I/O or database connections.

How to add a new row to an empty numpy array

In this case you might want to use the functions np.hstack and np.vstack

arr = np.array([])
arr = np.hstack((arr, np.array([1,2,3])))
# arr is now [1,2,3]

arr = np.vstack((arr, np.array([4,5,6])))
# arr is now [[1,2,3],[4,5,6]]

You also can use the np.concatenate function.

Is it possible to pass parameters programmatically in a Microsoft Access update query?

I just tested this and it works in Access 2010.

Say you have a SELECT query with parameters:

PARAMETERS startID Long, endID Long;
SELECT Members.*
FROM Members
WHERE (((Members.memberID) Between [startID] And [endID]));

You run that query interactively and it prompts you for [startID] and [endID]. That works, so you save that query as [MemberSubset].

Now you create an UPDATE query based on that query:

UPDATE Members SET Members.age = [age]+1
WHERE (((Members.memberID) In (SELECT memberID FROM [MemberSubset])));

You run that query interactively and again you are prompted for [startID] and [endID] and it works well, so you save it as [MemberSubsetUpdate].

You can run [MemberSubsetUpdate] from VBA code by specifying [startID] and [endID] values as parameters to [MemberSubsetUpdate], even though they are actually parameters of [MemberSubset]. Those parameter values "trickle down" to where they are needed, and the query does work without human intervention:

Sub paramTest()
    Dim qdf As DAO.QueryDef
    Set qdf = CurrentDb.QueryDefs("MemberSubsetUpdate")
    qdf!startID = 1  ' specify
    qdf!endID = 2    '     parameters
    qdf.Execute
    Set qdf = Nothing
End Sub
