Gradle to execute Java class (without modifying build.gradle)

You just need to use the Gradle Application plugin:

apply plugin:'application'
mainClassName = "org.gradle.sample.Main"

And then simply gradle run.

As Teresa points out, you can also configure mainClassName as a system property and run with a command line argument.

Get all variables sent with POST?

So, something like the $_POST array?

You can use http_build_query($_POST) to get them in a var=xxx&var2=yyy string again. Or just print_r($_POST) to see what's there.

System.MissingMethodException: Method not found?

also.. try to "clean" your projects or solution and rebuild again!

Bootstrap modal - close modal when "call to action" button is clicked

I tried closing a modal window with a bootstrap CSS loaded. The close () method does not really close the modal window. So I added the display style to "none".

    function closeDialog() {
        let d = document.getElementById('d')
        d.style.display = "none"
        d.close()
    }

The HTML code includes a button into the dialog window.

<input type="submit" value="Confirm" onclick="closeDialog()"/>

How to save Excel Workbook to Desktop regardless of user?

I think this is the most reliable way to get the desktop path which isn't always the same as the username.

How to select the first, second, or third element with a given class name?

use nth-child(item number) EX

<div class="parent_class">
    <div class="myclass">my text1</div>
    some other code+containers...

    <div class="myclass">my text2</div>
    some other code+containers...

    <div class="myclass">my text3</div>
    some other code+containers...
</div>
.parent_class:nth-child(1) { };
.parent_class:nth-child(2) { };
.parent_class:nth-child(3) { };

OR

:nth-of-type(item number) same your code

.myclass:nth-of-type(1) { };
.myclass:nth-of-type(2) { };
.myclass:nth-of-type(3) { };

How to dynamically change header based on AngularJS partial view?

Declaring ng-app on the html element provides root scope for both the head and body.

Therefore in your controller inject $rootScope and set a header property on this:

function Test1Ctrl($rootScope, $scope, $http) { $rootScope.header = "Test 1"; }

function Test2Ctrl($rootScope, $scope, $http) { $rootScope.header = "Test 2"; }

and in your page:

<title ng-bind="header"></title>

Install Visual Studio 2013 on Windows 7

Fake IE10 to install Visual Studio 2013

Visual Studio 2013 requires Internet Explorer 10. If you try to install it on Windows 7 with IE8 you get the following error This version of Visual Studio requires Internet Explorer 10”. The value that the VS 2013 installer checks is svcVersion in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorerkey on 32-bit Windows and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer on 64-bit Windows. Any value >= 10.0.0.0 makes the installer happy.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer]
"svcVersion"="10.0.0.0"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Internet Explorer]
"svcVersion"="10.0.0.0"

Eclipse won't compile/run java file

This worked for me:

  1. Create a new project
  2. Create a class in it
  3. Add erroneous code, let error come
  4. Now go to your project
  5. Go to Problems window
  6. Double click on a error

It starts showing compilation errors in the code.

css padding is not working in outlook

After doing many tests in Litmus, i could not find a way to have perfect rendering in all emails readers, but here is the better solution i found :

<table  width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="background-color:#333;color:#fff;border-radius:3px;border-spacing:0;" >
    <tr>
        <td style="width:12px;" >&nbsp;</td>
        <td valign="middle" style="padding-top:6px;padding-bottom:6px;padding-right:0;padding-left:0;" >
            <span style="color:#fff;" ><strong>Your text here</strong> and here</span></a>
        </td>
        <td style="width:12px;" >&nbsp;</td>
    </tr>
</table>

In this piece of code, i aimed to emulate padding : 6px 12px;

There are 2 "12px table columns" that handles the right and left padding.

And I'm using "padding: 6px 0;" on my td content, to manage top and bottom padding : Outlook 2010 and 2013 will ignore this and will use their own padding.

The text won't be perfectly aligned in Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013 (slightly too far from top) but it works with all other email readers i tried : Apple Mail, Gmail, Outlook 2011 (yes..), Hotmail, Yahoo and many more.

Preview image : Outlook 2010 and 2013 preview

Why is Maven downloading the maven-metadata.xml every time?

I haven't studied yet, when Maven does which look-up, but to get stable and reproducible builds, I strongly recommend not to access Maven Respositories directly but to use a Maven Repository Manager such as Nexus.

CSS: How to align vertically a "label" and "input" inside a "div"?

This works cross-browser, provides more accessibility and comes with less markup. ditch the div. Wrap the label

label{
     display: block; 
     height: 35px; 
     line-height: 35px; 
     border: 1px solid #000; 
}

input{margin-top:15px; height:20px}

<label for="name">Name: <input type="text" id="name" /></label>

exclude @Component from @ComponentScan

The configuration seem alright, except that you should use excludeFilters instead of excludes:

@ComponentScan(basePackages = {"com.example"}, excludeFilters={
  @ComponentScan.Filter(type=FilterType.ASSIGNABLE_TYPE, value=Foo.class)})
public class MySpringConfiguration {}

how to parse JSONArray in android

getJSONArray(attrname) will get you an array from the object of that given attribute name in your case what is happening is that for

{"abridged_cast":["name": blah...]}
^ its trying to search for a value "characters"

but you need to get into the array and then do a search for "characters"

try this

String json="{'abridged_cast':[{'name':'JeffBridges','id':'162655890','characters':['JackPrescott']},{'name':'CharlesGrodin','id':'162662571','characters':['FredWilson']},{'name':'JessicaLange','id':'162653068','characters':['Dwan']},{'name':'JohnRandolph','id':'162691889','characters':['Capt.Ross']},{'name':'ReneAuberjonois','id':'162718328','characters':['Bagley']}]}";

    JSONObject jsonResponse;
    try {
        ArrayList<String> temp = new ArrayList<String>();
        jsonResponse = new JSONObject(json);
        JSONArray movies = jsonResponse.getJSONArray("abridged_cast");
        for(int i=0;i<movies.length();i++){
            JSONObject movie = movies.getJSONObject(i);
            JSONArray characters = movie.getJSONArray("characters");
            for(int j=0;j<characters.length();j++){
                temp.add(characters.getString(j));
            }
        }
        Toast.makeText(this, "Json: "+temp, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    } catch (JSONException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

checked it :)

What is a C++ delegate?

Windows Runtime equivalent of a function object in standard C++. One can use the whole function as a parameter (actually that is a function pointer). It is mostly used in conjunction with events. The delegate represents a contract that event handlers much fulfill. It facilitate how a function pointer can work for.

How to export SQL Server 2005 query to CSV

I had to do one more thing than what Sijin said to get it to add quotes properly in SQL Server Management Studio 2005. Go to

Tools->Options->Query Results->Sql Server->Results To Grid

Put a check next to this option:

Quote strings containing list separators when saving .csv results

Note: the above method will not work for SSMS 2005 Express! As far as I know there's no way to quote the fields when exporting results to .csv using SSMS 2005 Express.

How to cast a double to an int in Java by rounding it down?

To cast a double to an int and have it be rounded to the nearest integer (i.e. unlike the typical (int)(1.8) and (int)(1.2), which will both "round down" towards 0 and return 1), simply add 0.5 to the double that you will typecast to an int.

For example, if we have

double a = 1.2;
double b = 1.8;

Then the following typecasting expressions for x and y and will return the rounded-down values (x = 1 and y = 1):

int x = (int)(a);   // This equals (int)(1.2) --> 1
int y = (int)(b);   // This equals (int)(1.8) --> 1

But by adding 0.5 to each, we will obtain the rounded-to-closest-integer result that we may desire in some cases (x = 1 and y = 2):

int x = (int)(a + 0.5);   // This equals (int)(1.8) --> 1
int y = (int)(b + 0.5);   // This equals (int)(2.3) --> 2

As a small note, this method also allows you to control the threshold at which the double is rounded up or down upon (int) typecasting.

(int)(a + 0.8);

to typecast. This will only round up to (int)a + 1 whenever the decimal values are greater than or equal to 0.2. That is, by adding 0.8 to the double immediately before typecasting, 10.15 and 10.03 will be rounded down to 10 upon (int) typecasting, but 10.23 and 10.7 will be rounded up to 11.

Change the spacing of tick marks on the axis of a plot?

There are at least two ways for achieving this in base graph (my examples are for the x-axis, but work the same for the y-axis):

  1. Use par(xaxp = c(x1, x2, n)) or plot(..., xaxp = c(x1, x2, n)) to define the position (x1 & x2) of the extreme tick marks and the number of intervals between the tick marks (n). Accordingly, n+1 is the number of tick marks drawn. (This works only if you use no logarithmic scale, for the behavior with logarithmic scales see ?par.)

  2. You can suppress the drawing of the axis altogether and add the tick marks later with axis().
    To suppress the drawing of the axis use plot(... , xaxt = "n").
    Then call axis() with side, at, and labels: axis(side = 1, at = v1, labels = v2). With side referring to the side of the axis (1 = x-axis, 2 = y-axis), v1 being a vector containing the position of the ticks (e.g., c(1, 3, 5) if your axis ranges from 0 to 6 and you want three marks), and v2 a vector containing the labels for the specified tick marks (must be of same length as v1, e.g., c("group a", "group b", "group c")). See ?axis and my updated answer to a post on stats.stackexchange for an example of this method.

How can I run Tensorboard on a remote server?

Another option if you can't get it working for some reason is to simply mount a logdir directory on your filesystem with sshfs:

How to Programmatically Add Views to Views

Calling addView is the correct answer, but you need to do a little more than that to get it to work.

If you create a View via a constructor (e.g., Button myButton = new Button();), you'll need to call setLayoutParams on the newly constructed view, passing in an instance of the parent view's LayoutParams inner class, before you add your newly constructed child to the parent view.

For example, you might have the following code in your onCreate() function assuming your LinearLayout has id R.id.main:

LinearLayout myLayout = findViewById(R.id.main);

Button myButton = new Button(this);
myButton.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(
                                     LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
                                     LinearLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT));

myLayout.addView(myButton);

Making sure to set the LayoutParams is important. Every view needs at least a layout_width and a layout_height parameter. Also getting the right inner class is important. I struggled with getting Views added to a TableRow to display properly until I figured out that I wasn't passing an instance of TableRow.LayoutParams to the child view's setLayoutParams.

Converting string to number in javascript/jQuery

You should just use "+" before $(this). That's going to convert the string to number, so:

var votevalue = +$(this).data('votevalue');

Oh and I recommend to use closest() method just in case :)

var votevalue = +$(this).closest('.btn-group').data('votevalue');

How to fix an UnsatisfiedLinkError (Can't find dependent libraries) in a JNI project

I'm pretty sure the classpath and the shared library search path have little to do with each other. According to The JNI Book (which admittedly is old), on Windows if you do not use the java.library.path system property, the DLL needs to be in the current working directory or in a directory listed in the Windows PATH environment variable.


Update:

Looks like Oracle has removed the PDF from its website. I've updated the link above to point to an instance of the PDF living at University of Texas - Arlington.

Also, you can also read Oracle's HTML version of the JNI Specification. That lives in the Java 8 section of the Java website and so hopefully will be around for a while.


Update 2:

At least in Java 8 (I haven't checked earlier versions) you can do:

java -XshowSettings:properties -version

to find the shared library search path. Look for the value of the java.library.path property in that output.

ImportError: No module named _ssl

How to define a connection string to a SQL Server 2008 database?

Instead of writing it in your code directly I suggest you make use of the dedicated <connectionStrings> element in the .config file and retrieve it from there.

Also make use of the using statement so that after usage your connection automatically gets closed and disposed of.

A great reference for finding connection strings: connectionstrings.com/sql-server-2008.

Change the Textbox height?

I know this is a kind of old post, but I found myself in this same issue, and by investigating a bit I found out that the Height of a WinForms TextBox is actually calculated depending on the size of the font it contains, it's just not quite equal to it.

This guy explains how the calculation is done, and how you can set it on your TextBox to get the desired Height.

Cheers!

Add new column in Pandas DataFrame Python

You just do an opposite comparison. if Col2 <= 1. This will return a boolean Series with False values for those greater than 1 and True values for the other. If you convert it to an int64 dtype, True becomes 1 and False become 0,

df['Col3'] = (df['Col2'] <= 1).astype(int)

If you want a more general solution, where you can assign any number to Col3 depending on the value of Col2 you should do something like:

df['Col3'] = df['Col2'].map(lambda x: 42 if x > 1 else 55)

Or:

df['Col3'] = 0
condition = df['Col2'] > 1
df.loc[condition, 'Col3'] = 42
df.loc[~condition, 'Col3'] = 55

Find the line number where a specific word appears with "grep"

You can call tail +[line number] [file] and pipe it to grep -n which shows the line number:

tail +[line number] [file] | grep -n /regex/

The only problem with this method is the line numbers reported by grep -n will be [line number] - 1 less than the actual line number in [file].

Cross-browser custom styling for file upload button

I just came across this problem and have written a solution for those of you who are using Angular. You can write a custom directive composed of a container, a button, and an input element with type file. With CSS you then place the input over the custom button but with opacity 0. You set the containers height and width to exactly the offset width and height of the button and the input's height and width to 100% of the container.

the directive

angular.module('myCoolApp')
  .directive('fileButton', function () {
    return {
      templateUrl: 'components/directives/fileButton/fileButton.html',
      restrict: 'E',
      link: function (scope, element, attributes) {

        var container = angular.element('.file-upload-container');
        var button = angular.element('.file-upload-button');

        container.css({
            position: 'relative',
            overflow: 'hidden',
            width: button.offsetWidth,
            height: button.offsetHeight
        })

      }

    };
  });

a jade template if you are using jade

div(class="file-upload-container") 
    button(class="file-upload-button") +
    input#file-upload(class="file-upload-input", type='file', onchange="doSomethingWhenFileIsSelected()")  

the same template in html if you are using html

<div class="file-upload-container">
   <button class="file-upload-button"></button>
   <input class="file-upload-input" id="file-upload" type="file" onchange="doSomethingWhenFileIsSelected()" /> 
</div>

the css

.file-upload-button {
    margin-top: 40px;
    padding: 30px;
    border: 1px solid black;
    height: 100px;
    width: 100px;
    background: transparent;
    font-size: 66px;
    padding-top: 0px;
    border-radius: 5px;
    border: 2px solid rgb(255, 228, 0); 
    color: rgb(255, 228, 0);
}

.file-upload-input {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    z-index: 2;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    opacity: 0;
    cursor: pointer;
}

Convert from enum ordinal to enum type

If I'm going to be using values() a lot:

enum Suit {
   Hearts, Diamonds, Spades, Clubs;
   public static final Suit values[] = values();
}

Meanwhile wherever.java:

Suit suit = Suit.values[ordinal];

If you want the array to be private, be my guest:

private static final Suit values[] = values();
public static Suit get(int ordinal) { return values[ordinal]; }

...

Suit suit = Suit.get(ordinal);

Mind your array bounds.

how to put image in a bundle and pass it to another activity

So you can do it like this, but the limitation with the Parcelables is that the payload between activities has to be less than 1MB total. It's usually better to save the Bitmap to a file and pass the URI to the image to the next activity.

 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {     setContentView(R.layout.my_layout);     Bitmap bitmap = getIntent().getParcelableExtra("image");     ImageView imageView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageview);     imageView.setImageBitmap(bitmap);  }

ECMAScript 6 + jQuery, 85 bytes

$({jQueryCode:(url)=>location.replace(url)}).attr("jQueryCode")("http://example.com")

Please don't kill me, this is a joke. It's a joke. This is a joke.

This did "provide an answer to the question", in the sense that it asked for a solution "using jQuery" which in this case entails forcing it into the equation somehow.

Ferrybig apparently needs the joke explained (still joking, I'm sure there are limited options on the review form), so without further ado:

Other answers are using jQuery's attr() on the location or window objects unnecessarily.

This answer also abuses it, but in a more ridiculous way. Instead of using it to set the location, this uses attr() to retrieve a function that sets the location.

The function is named jQueryCode even though there's nothing jQuery about it, and calling a function somethingCode is just horrible, especially when the something is not even a language.

The "85 bytes" is a reference to Code Golf. Golfing is obviously not something you should do outside of code golf, and furthermore this answer is clearly not actually golfed.

Basically, cringe.

How do I get length of list of lists in Java?

How to use setArguments() and getArguments() methods in Fragments?

in Frag1:

Bundle b = new Bundle();

b.putStringArray("arrayname that use to retrive in frag2",StringArrayObject);

Frag2.setArguments(b);

in Frag2:

Bundle b = getArguments();

String[] stringArray = b.getStringArray("arrayname that passed in frag1");

It's that simple.

Python vs Cpython

implementation means what language was used to implement Python and not how python Code would be implemented. The advantage of using CPython is the availability of C Run-time as well as easy integration with C/C++.

So CPython was originally implemented using C. There were other forks to the original implementation which enabled Python to lever-edge Java (JYthon) or .NET Runtime (IronPython).

Based on which Implementation you use, library availability might vary, for example Ctypes is not available in Jython, so any library which uses ctypes would not work in Jython. Similarly, if you want to use a Java Class, you cannot directly do so from CPython. You either need a glue (JEPP) or need to use Jython (The Java Implementation of Python)

Adding a module (Specifically pymorph) to Spyder (Python IDE)

I faced the same problem when trying to add the seaborn module in Spyder. I installed seaborn into my anaconda directory in ubuntu 14.04. The seaborn module would load if I added the entire anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ directory which contained the 'seaborn' and seaborn-0.5.1-py2.7.egg-info folders. The problem was this anaconda site-packages folder also contained many other modules which Spyder did not like.

My solution: I created a new directory in my personal Home folder that I named 'spyderlibs' where I placed seaborn and seaborn-0.5.1-py2.7.egg-info folders. Adding my new spyderlib directory in Spyder's PYTHONPATH manager worked!

How to remove &quot; from my Json in javascript?

Presumably you have it in a variable and are using JSON.parse(data);. In which case, use:

JSON.parse(data.replace(/&quot;/g,'"'));

You might want to fix your JSON-writing script though, because &quot; is not valid in a JSON object.

single line comment in HTML

Let's keep it simple. Loved @digitaldreamer 's answer but it might leave the beginners confused. So, I am going to try and simplify it.

The only HTML comment is <!-- --> It can be used as a single line comment or double, it is really up to the developer.

So, an HTML comment starts with <!-- and ends with -->. It is really that simple. You should not use any other format, to avoid any compatibility issue even if the comment format is legit or not.

Sitemap: http://www.example.com/sitemap.xml

How do I measure the execution time of JavaScript code with callbacks?

You could also try exectimer. It gives you feedback like:

var t = require("exectimer");

var myFunction() {
   var tick = new t.tick("myFunction");
   tick.start();
   // do some processing and end this tick
   tick.stop();
}

// Display the results
console.log(t.timers.myFunction.duration()); // total duration of all ticks
console.log(t.timers.myFunction.min()); // minimal tick duration
console.log(t.timers.myFunction.max()); // maximal tick duration
console.log(t.timers.myFunction.mean()); // mean tick duration
console.log(t.timers.myFunction.median()); // median tick duration

[edit] There is an even simpler way now to use exectime. Your code could be wrapped like this:

var t = require('exectimer'),
Tick = t.Tick;

for(var i = 1; i < LIMIT; i++){
    Tick.wrap(function saveUsers(done) {
        db.users.save({id : i, name : "MongoUser [" + i + "]"}, function(err, saved) {
            if( err || !saved ) console.log("Error");
            else console.log("Saved");
            done();
        });
    });
}

// Display the results
console.log(t.timers.myFunction.duration()); // total duration of all ticks
console.log(t.timers.saveUsers.min()); // minimal tick duration
console.log(t.timers.saveUsers.max()); // maximal tick duration
console.log(t.timers.saveUsers.mean()); // mean tick duration
console.log(t.timers.saveUsers.median()); // median tick duration

Multiple arguments to function called by pthread_create()?

Because you say

struct arg_struct *args = (struct arg_struct *)args;

instead of

struct arg_struct *args = arguments;

SSH Key: “Permissions 0644 for 'id_rsa.pub' are too open.” on mac

debug1: identity file /Users/tudouya/.ssh/vm/vm_id_rsa.pub type 1

It appears that you're trying to use the wrong key file. The file with the ".pub" extension contains the public portion of the key. The corresponding file without the ".pub" extension contains the private part of the key. When you run an ssh client to connect to a remote server, you have to provide the private key file to the ssh client.

You probably have a line in the your .ssh/config file (or /etc/ssh_config) which looks like this:

What is the recommended way to make a numeric TextField in JavaFX?

This is what I use:

private TextField textField;
textField.textProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener<String>() {
    @Override
    public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends String> observable, String oldValue, String newValue) {
        if(!newValue.matches("[0-9]*")){
            textField.setText(oldValue);
        }

    }
});

The same in lambda notation would be:

private TextField textField;
textField.textProperty().addListener((observable, oldValue, newValue) -> {
    if(!newValue.matches("[0-9]*")){
        textField.setText(oldValue);
    }
});

How can I merge two commits into one if I already started rebase?

$ git rebase --abort

Run this code at any time if you want to undo the git rebase

$ git rebase -i HEAD~2

To reapply last two commits. The above command will open a code editor

  • [ The latest commit will be at the bottom ]. Change the last commit to squash(s). Since squash will meld with previous commit.
  • Then press esc key and type :wq to save and close

After :wq you will be in active rebase mode

Note: You'll get another editor if no warning/error messages, If there is an error or warning another editor will not show, you may abort by runnning $ git rebase --abort if you see an error or warning else just continue by running $ git rebase --continue

You will see your 2 commit message. Choose one or write your own commit message, save and quit [:wq]

Note 2: You may need to force push your changes to the remote repo if you run rebase command

$ git push -f

$ git push -f origin master

How to programmatically set the ForeColor of a label to its default?

What is the volatile keyword useful for?

In my opinion, two important scenarios other than stopping thread in which volatile keyword is used are:

  1. Double-checked locking mechanism. Used often in Singleton design pattern. In this the singleton object needs to be declared volatile.
  2. Spurious Wakeups. Thread may sometimes wake up from wait call even if no notify call has been issued. This behavior is called spurious wakeup. This can be countered by using a conditional variable (boolean flag). Put the wait() call in a while loop as long as the flag is true. So if thread wakes up from wait call due to any reasons other than Notify/NotifyAll then it encounters flag is still true and hence calls wait again. Prior to calling notify set this flag to true. In this case the boolean flag is declared as volatile.

How to install ia32-libs in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)

Simply install the 32-bit version of the program, instead of the 64-bit version.

This is much safer than installing packages that are not intended for the distribution at hand.

I got this suggestion from the Google Earth installation instructions for Ubuntu 14.04. Google Earth used to employ ia32-libs under 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04.

Quoting webupd8.org:

The ia32-libs package is no longer available in Ubuntu, starting with Ubuntu 13.10. The package was superseded by multiarch support so you don't need it any more, but some 64bit packages (which are actually 32bit applications) still depend on this package and because of this, they can't be installed in Ubuntu 14.04 or 13.10, 64bit. [...]

The "fix" or more specifically the correct way of installing these apps which depend on ia32-libs is to simply install the 32bit package on Ubuntu 64bit. Of course, that will install quite a few 32bit packages, but that's how multiarch works.

The problem with some programs (like Google Earth) is that the 32-bit package does not support multiarch. Consequently, some 32-bit dependencies need to be installed manually to make the 32-bit version of the program run on Ubuntu 64-bit.

How to solve Object reference not set to an instance of an object.?

Python Requests - No connection adapters

You need to include the protocol scheme:

'http://192.168.1.61:8080/api/call'

Without the http:// part, requests has no idea how to connect to the remote server.

Note that the protocol scheme must be all lowercase; if your URL starts with HTTP:// for example, it won’t find the http:// connection adapter either.

How do I prevent DIV tag starting a new line?

A better way to do a break line is using span with CSS style parameter white-space: nowrap;

span.nobreak {
  white-space: nowrap;
}

or
span.nobreak {
  overflow: hidden;
  text-overflow: ellipsis;
  white-space: nowrap;
}

Example directly in your HTML

<span style='overflow:hidden; white-space: nowrap;'> YOUR EXTENSIVE TEXT THAT YOU CAN´T BREAK LINE ....</span>

How do I configure modprobe to find my module?

You can make a symbolic link of your module to the standard path, so depmod will see it and you'll be able load it as any other module.

sudo ln -s /path/to/module.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`
sudo depmod -a
sudo modprobe module

If you add the module name to /etc/modules it will be loaded any time you boot.

Anyway I think that the proper configuration is to copy the module to the standard paths.

Styling HTML5 input type number

HTML5 number input doesn't have styles attributes like width or size, but you can style it easily with CSS.

input[type="number"] {
   width:50px;
}

Find the unique values in a column and then sort them

You can also use the drop_duplicates() instead of unique()

df = pd.DataFrame({'A':[1,1,3,2,6,2,8]})
a = df['A'].drop_duplicates()
a.sort()
print a

How to import an Excel file into SQL Server?

There are many articles about writing code to import an excel file, but this is a manual/shortcut version:

If you don't need to import your Excel file programmatically using code you can do it very quickly using the menu in SQL Management Studio.

The quickest way to get your Excel file into SQL is by using the import wizard:

  1. Open SSMS (Sql Server Management Studio) and connect to the database where you want to import your file into.
  2. Import Data: in SSMS in Object Explorer under 'Databases' right-click the destination database, select Tasks, Import Data. An import wizard will pop up (you can usually just click 'Next' on the first screen).

enter image description here

  1. The next window is 'Choose a Data Source', select Excel:

    • In the 'Data Source' dropdown list select Microsoft Excel (this option should appear automatically if you have excel installed).

    • Click the 'Browse' button to select the path to the Excel file you want to import.

    • Select the version of the excel file (97-2003 is usually fine for files with a .XLS extension, or use 2007 for newer files with a .XLSX extension)
    • Tick the 'First Row has headers' checkbox if your excel file contains headers.
    • Click next.

enter image description here

  1. On the 'Choose a Destination' screen, select destination database:
    • Select the 'Server name', Authentication (typically your sql username & password) and select a Database as destination. Click Next.

enter image description here

  1. On the 'Specify Table Copy or Query' window:

    • For simplicity just select 'Copy data from one or more tables or views', click Next.
  2. 'Select Source Tables:' choose the worksheet(s) from your Excel file and specify a destination table for each worksheet. If you don't have a table yet the wizard will very kindly create a new table that matches all the columns from your spreadsheet. Click Next.

enter image description here

  1. Click Finish.

Visibility of global variables in imported modules

This post is just an observation for Python behaviour I encountered. Maybe the advices you read above don't work for you if you made the same thing I did below.

Namely, I have a module which contains global/shared variables (as suggested above):

#sharedstuff.py

globaltimes_randomnode=[]
globalist_randomnode=[]

Then I had the main module which imports the shared stuff with:

import sharedstuff as shared

and some other modules that actually populated these arrays. These are called by the main module. When exiting these other modules I can clearly see that the arrays are populated. But when reading them back in the main module, they were empty. This was rather strange for me (well, I am new to Python). However, when I change the way I import the sharedstuff.py in the main module to:

from globals import *

it worked (the arrays were populated).

Class constructor type in typescript?

Solution from typescript interfaces reference:

interface ClockConstructor {
    new (hour: number, minute: number): ClockInterface;
}
interface ClockInterface {
    tick();
}

function createClock(ctor: ClockConstructor, hour: number, minute: number): ClockInterface {
    return new ctor(hour, minute);
}

class DigitalClock implements ClockInterface {
    constructor(h: number, m: number) { }
    tick() {
        console.log("beep beep");
    }
}
class AnalogClock implements ClockInterface {
    constructor(h: number, m: number) { }
    tick() {
        console.log("tick tock");
    }
}

let digital = createClock(DigitalClock, 12, 17);
let analog = createClock(AnalogClock, 7, 32);

So the previous example becomes:

interface AnimalConstructor {
    new (): Animal;
}

class Animal {
    constructor() {
        console.log("Animal");
    }
}

class Penguin extends Animal {
    constructor() {
        super();
        console.log("Penguin");
    }
}

class Lion extends Animal {
    constructor() {
        super();
        console.log("Lion");
    }
}

class Zoo {
    AnimalClass: AnimalConstructor // AnimalClass can be 'Lion' or 'Penguin'

    constructor(AnimalClass: AnimalConstructor) {
        this.AnimalClass = AnimalClass
        let Hector = new AnimalClass();
    }
}

Which Architecture patterns are used on Android?

All these patterns, MVC, MVVM, MVP, and Presentation Model, can be applied to Android apps, but without a third-party framework, it is not easy to get well-organized structure and clean code.

MVVM is originated from PresentationModel. When we apply MVC, MVVM, and Presentation Model to an Android app, what we really want is to have a clear structured project and more importantly easier for unit tests.

At the moment, without an third-party framework, you usually have lots of code (like addXXListener(), findViewById(), etc.), which does not add any business value. What's more, you have to run Android unit tests instead of normal JUnit tests, which take ages to run and make unit tests somewhat impractical.

For these reasons, some years ago we started an open source project, RoboBinding - A data-binding Presentation Model framework for the Android platform. RoboBinding helps you write UI code that is easier to read, test, and maintain. RoboBinding removes the need of unnecessary code like addXXListener or so, and shifts UI logic to the Presentation Model, which is a POJO and can be tested via normal JUnit tests. RoboBinding itself comes with more than 300 JUnit tests to ensure its quality.

Android Open External Storage directory(sdcard) for storing file

The internal storage is referred to as "external storage" in the API.

As mentioned in the Environment documentation

Note: don't be confused by the word "external" here. This directory can better be thought as media/shared storage. It is a filesystem that can hold a relatively large amount of data and that is shared across all applications (does not enforce permissions). Traditionally this is an SD card, but it may also be implemented as built-in storage in a device that is distinct from the protected internal storage and can be mounted as a filesystem on a computer.

To distinguish whether "Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()" actually returned physically internal or external storage, call Environment.isExternalStorageEmulated(). If it's emulated, than it's internal. On newer devices that have internal storage and sdcard slot Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() will always return the internal storage. While on older devices that have only sdcard as a media storage option it will always return the sdcard.

There is no way to retrieve all storages using current Android API.

I've created a helper based on Vitaliy Polchuk's method in the answer below

        return volume.isReadOnly() || Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT;

How to move an element into another element?

my solution:

MOVE:

jQuery("#NodesToMove").detach().appendTo('#DestinationContainerNode')

COPY:

jQuery("#NodesToMove").appendTo('#DestinationContainerNode')

Note the usage of .detach(). When copying, be careful that you are not duplicating IDs.

.NET console application as Windows service

You can use

reg add HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run /v ServiceName /d "c:\path\to\service\file\exe"

And it will appear int the service list. I do not know, whether that works correctly though. A service usually has to listen to several events.

There are several service wrapper though, that can run any application as a real service. For Example Microsofts SrvAny from the Win2003 Resource Kit

Call a python function from jinja2

If you are doing it with Django, you can just pass the function with the context:

context = {
    'title':'My title',
    'str': str,
}
...
return render(request, 'index.html', context)

Now you will be able to use the str function in jinja2 template

Android: Pass data(extras) to a fragment

I prefer Serializable = no boilerplate code. For passing data to other Fragments or Activities the speed difference to a Parcelable does not matter.

I would also always provide a helper method for a Fragment or Activity, this way you always know, what data has to be passed. Here an example for your ListMusicFragment:

private static final String EXTRA_MUSIC_LIST = "music_list";

public static ListMusicFragment createInstance(List<Music> music) {
    ListMusicFragment fragment = new ListMusicFragment();
    Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
    bundle.putSerializable(EXTRA_MUSIC_LIST, music);
    fragment.setArguments(bundle);
    return fragment;
}

@Override
public View onCreateView(...) { 
    ...
    Bundle bundle = intent.getArguments();
    List<Music> musicList = (List<Music>)bundle.getSerializable(EXTRA_MUSIC_LIST);
    ...
}

Foreach loop, determine which is the last iteration of the loop

Another way, which I didn't see posted, is to use a Queue. It's analogous to a way to implement a SkipLast() method without iterating more than necessary. This way will also allow you to do this on any number of last items.

public static void ForEachAndKnowIfLast<T>(
    this IEnumerable<T> source,
    Action<T, bool> a,
    int numLastItems = 1)
{
    int bufferMax = numLastItems + 1;
    var buffer = new Queue<T>(bufferMax);
    foreach (T x in source)
    {
        buffer.Enqueue(x);
        if (buffer.Count < bufferMax)
            continue; //Until the buffer is full, just add to it.
        a(buffer.Dequeue(), false);
    }
    foreach (T item in buffer)
        a(item, true);
}

To call this you'd do the following:

Model.Results.ForEachAndKnowIfLast(
    (result, isLast) =>
    {
        //your logic goes here, using isLast to do things differently for last item(s).
    });

Read input stream twice

How about:

if (stream.markSupported() == false) {

        // lets replace the stream object
        ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        IOUtils.copy(stream, baos);
        stream.close();
        stream = new ByteArrayInputStream(baos.toByteArray());
        // now the stream should support 'mark' and 'reset'

The differences between initialize, define, declare a variable

Declaration

Declaration, generally, refers to the introduction of a new name in the program. For example, you can declare a new function by describing it's "signature":

void xyz();

or declare an incomplete type:

class klass;
struct ztruct;

and last but not least, to declare an object:

int x;

It is described, in the C++ standard, at §3.1/1 as:

A declaration (Clause 7) may introduce one or more names into a translation unit or redeclare names introduced by previous declarations.

Definition

A definition is a definition of a previously declared name (or it can be both definition and declaration). For example:

int x;
void xyz() {...}
class klass {...};
struct ztruct {...};
enum { x, y, z };

Specifically the C++ standard defines it, at §3.1/1, as:

A declaration is a definition unless it declares a function without specifying the function’s body (8.4), it contains the extern specifier (7.1.1) or a linkage-specification25 (7.5) and neither an initializer nor a function- body, it declares a static data member in a class definition (9.2, 9.4), it is a class name declaration (9.1), it is an opaque-enum-declaration (7.2), it is a template-parameter (14.1), it is a parameter-declaration (8.3.5) in a function declarator that is not the declarator of a function-definition, or it is a typedef declaration (7.1.3), an alias-declaration (7.1.3), a using-declaration (7.3.3), a static_assert-declaration (Clause 7), an attribute- declaration (Clause 7), an empty-declaration (Clause 7), or a using-directive (7.3.4).

Initialization

Initialization refers to the "assignment" of a value, at construction time. For a generic object of type T, it's often in the form:

T x = i;

but in C++ it can be:

T x(i);

or even:

T x {i};

with C++11.

Conclusion

So does it mean definition equals declaration plus initialization?

It depends. On what you are talking about. If you are talking about an object, for example:

int x;

This is a definition without initialization. The following, instead, is a definition with initialization:

int x = 0;

In certain context, it doesn't make sense to talk about "initialization", "definition" and "declaration". If you are talking about a function, for example, initialization does not mean much.

So, the answer is no: definition does not automatically mean declaration plus initialization.

HTTP 1.0 vs 1.1

HTTP 1.1 comes with the host header in its specification while the HTTP 1.0 doesn't officially have a host header, but it doesn't refuse to add one.

The host header is useful because it allows the client to route a message throughout the proxy server, and the major difference between 1.0 and 1.1 versions HTTP are:

  1. HTTP 1.1 comes with persistent connections which define that we can have more than one request or response on the same HTTP connection.
  2. while in HTTP 1.0 you have to open a new connection for each request and response
  3. In HTTP 1.0 it has a pragma while in HTTP 1.1 it has Cache-Control this is similar to pragma

print arraylist element?

Do you want to print the entire list or you want to iterate through each element of the list? Either way to print anything meaningful your Dog class need to override the toString() method (as mentioned in other answers) from the Object class to return a valid result.

public class Print {
    public static void main(final String[] args) {
        List<Dog> list = new ArrayList<Dog>();
        Dog e = new Dog("Tommy");
        list.add(e);
        list.add(new Dog("tiger"));
        System.out.println(list);
        for(Dog d:list) {
            System.out.println(d);
            // prints [Tommy, tiger]
        }
    }

    private static class Dog {
        private final String name;
        public Dog(final String name) {
            this.name = name;
        }

        @Override
        public String toString() {
            return name;
        }
    }
}

The output of this code is:

[Tommy, tiger]  
Tommy  
tiger

How to start a background process in Python?

While jkp's solution works, the newer way of doing things (and the way the documentation recommends) is to use the subprocess module. For simple commands its equivalent, but it offers more options if you want to do something complicated.

Example for your case:

import subprocess
subprocess.Popen(["rm","-r","some.file"])

This will run rm -r some.file in the background. Note that calling .communicate() on the object returned from Popen will block until it completes, so don't do that if you want it to run in the background:

import subprocess
ls_output=subprocess.Popen(["sleep", "30"])
ls_output.communicate()  # Will block for 30 seconds

See the documentation here.

Also, a point of clarification: "Background" as you use it here is purely a shell concept; technically, what you mean is that you want to spawn a process without blocking while you wait for it to complete. However, I've used "background" here to refer to shell-background-like behavior.

What are .dex files in Android?

About the .dex File :

One of the most remarkable features of the Dalvik Virtual Machine (the workhorse under the Android system) is that it does not use Java bytecode. Instead, a homegrown format called DEX was introduced and not even the bytecode instructions are the same as Java bytecode instructions.

Compiled Android application code file.

Android programs are compiled into .dex (Dalvik Executable) files, which are in turn zipped into a single .apk file on the device. .dex files can be created by automatically translating compiled applications written in the Java programming language.

Dex file format:

 1. File Header
 2. String Table
 3. Class List
 4. Field Table
 5. Method Table
 6. Class Definition Table
 7. Field List
 8. Method List
 9. Code Header
10. Local Variable List

Android has documentation on the Dalvik Executable Format (.dex files). You can find out more over at the official docs: Dex File Format

.dex files are similar to java class files, but they were run under the Dalkvik Virtual Machine (DVM) on older Android versions, and compiled at install time on the device to native code with ART on newer Android versions.

You can decompile .dex using the dexdump tool which is provided in android-sdk.

There are also some Reverse Engineering Techniques to make a jar file or java class file from a .dex file.

Custom events in jQuery?

The link provided in the accepted answer shows a nice way to implement the pub/sub system using jQuery, but I found the code somewhat difficult to read, so here is my simplified version of the code:

http://jsfiddle.net/tFw89/5/

$(document).on('testEvent', function(e, eventInfo) { 
  subscribers = $('.subscribers-testEvent');
  subscribers.trigger('testEventHandler', [eventInfo]);
});

$('#myButton').on('click', function() {
  $(document).trigger('testEvent', [1011]);
});

$('#notifier1').on('testEventHandler', function(e, eventInfo) { 
  alert('(notifier1)The value of eventInfo is: ' + eventInfo);
});

$('#notifier2').on('testEventHandler', function(e, eventInfo) { 
  alert('(notifier2)The value of eventInfo is: ' + eventInfo);
});

Can a java file have more than one class?

If you want to implement a public class, you must implement it in a file with the same name as that class. A single file can contain one public and optionally some private classes. This is useful if the classes are only used internally by the public class. Additionally the public class can also contain inner classes.

Although it is fine to have one or more private classes in a single source file, I would say that is more readable to use inner and anonymous classes instead. For example one can use an anonymous class to define a Comparator class inside a public class:

  public static Comparator MyComparator = new Comparator() {
    public int compare(Object obj, Object anotherObj) {

    }
  };

The Comparator class will normally require a separate file in order to be public. This way it is bundled with the class that uses it.

Adding a custom header to HTTP request using angular.js

I took what you had, and added another X-Testing header

var config = {headers:  {
        'Authorization': 'Basic d2VudHdvcnRobWFuOkNoYW5nZV9tZQ==',
        'Accept': 'application/json;odata=verbose',
        "X-Testing" : "testing"
    }
};

$http.get("/test", config);

And in the Chrome network tab, I see them being sent.

GET /test HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:3000

How to parse JSON Array (Not Json Object) in Android

Create a class to hold the objects.

public class Person{
   private String name;
   private String url;
   //Get & Set methods for each field
}

Then deserialize as follows:

Gson gson = new Gson();
Person[] person = gson.fromJson(input, Person[].class); //input is your String

Is < faster than <=?

Historically (we're talking the 1980s and early 1990s), there were some architectures in which this was true. The root issue is that integer comparison is inherently implemented via integer subtractions. This gives rise to the following cases.

Comparison     Subtraction
----------     -----------
A < B      --> A - B < 0
A = B      --> A - B = 0
A > B      --> A - B > 0

Now, when A < B the subtraction has to borrow a high-bit for the subtraction to be correct, just like you carry and borrow when adding and subtracting by hand. This "borrowed" bit was usually referred to as the carry bit and would be testable by a branch instruction. A second bit called the zero bit would be set if the subtraction were identically zero which implied equality.

There were usually at least two conditional branch instructions, one to branch on the carry bit and one on the zero bit.

Now, to get at the heart of the matter, let's expand the previous table to include the carry and zero bit results.

Comparison     Subtraction  Carry Bit  Zero Bit
----------     -----------  ---------  --------
A < B      --> A - B < 0    0          0
A = B      --> A - B = 0    1          1
A > B      --> A - B > 0    1          0

So, implementing a branch for A < B can be done in one instruction, because the carry bit is clear only in this case, , that is,

;; Implementation of "if (A < B) goto address;"
cmp  A, B          ;; compare A to B
bcz  address       ;; Branch if Carry is Zero to the new address

But, if we want to do a less-than-or-equal comparison, we need to do an additional check of the zero flag to catch the case of equality.

;; Implementation of "if (A <= B) goto address;"
cmp A, B           ;; compare A to B
bcz address        ;; branch if A < B
bzs address        ;; also, Branch if the Zero bit is Set

So, on some machines, using a "less than" comparison might save one machine instruction. This was relevant in the era of sub-megahertz processor speed and 1:1 CPU-to-memory speed ratios, but it is almost totally irrelevant today.

Differences between "java -cp" and "java -jar"?

I prefer the first version to start a java application just because it has less pitfalls ("welcome to classpath hell"). The second one requires an executable jar file and the classpath for that application has to be defined inside the jar's manifest (all other classpath declaration will be silently ignored...). So with the second version you'd have to look into the jar, read the manifest and try to find out if the classpath entries are valid from where the jar is stored... That's avoidable.

I don't expect any performance advantages or disadvantages for either version. It's just telling the jvm which class to use for the main thread and where it can find the libraries.

Cannot deserialize instance of object out of START_ARRAY token in Spring Webservice

Taking for granted that the JSON you posted is actually what you are seeing in the browser, then the problem is the JSON itself.

The JSON snippet you have posted is malformed.

You have posted:

[{
        "name" : "shopqwe",
        "mobiles" : [],
        "address" : {
            "town" : "city",
            "street" : "streetqwe",
            "streetNumber" : "59",
            "cordX" : 2.229997,
            "cordY" : 1.002539
        },
        "shoe"[{
                "shoeName" : "addidas",
                "number" : "631744030",
                "producent" : "nike",
                "price" : 999.0,
                "sizes" : [30.0, 35.0, 38.0]
            }]

while the correct JSON would be:

[{
        "name" : "shopqwe",
        "mobiles" : [],
        "address" : {
            "town" : "city",
            "street" : "streetqwe",
            "streetNumber" : "59",
            "cordX" : 2.229997,
            "cordY" : 1.002539
        },
        "shoe" : [{
                "shoeName" : "addidas",
                "number" : "631744030",
                "producent" : "nike",
                "price" : 999.0,
                "sizes" : [30.0, 35.0, 38.0]
            }
        ]
    }
]

What is a "callable"?

__call__ makes any object be callable as a function.

This example will output 8:

class Adder(object):
  def __init__(self, val):
    self.val = val

  def __call__(self, val):
    return self.val + val

func = Adder(5)
print func(3)

Ansible: Store command's stdout in new variable?

There's no need to set a fact.

    - shell: echo "I cat hello"
      when: cat_contents.stdout == "hello"

How to close IPython Notebook properly?

The best way now is to use the "Quit" button that is just to the left of the "Logout" button. I have to admit that I do not understand the utility of the Logout button. However, I am glad that they have added the exceedingly useful Quit button.

'LIKE ('%this%' OR '%that%') and something=else' not working

     AND something = else

How can I set up an editor to work with Git on Windows?

This is the one symptom of greater issues. Notably that you have something setting TERM=dumb. Other things that don't work properly are the less command which says you don't have a fully functional terminal.

It seems like this is most commonly caused by having TERM set to something in your global Windows environment variables. For me, the issue came up when I installed Strawberry Perl some information about this is on the msysgit bug for this problem as well as several solutions.

The first solution is to fix it in your ~/.bashrc by adding:

export TERM=msys

You can do this from the Git Bash prompt like so:

echo "export TERM=msys" >> ~/.bashrc

The other solution, which ultimately is what I did because I don't care about Strawberry Perl's reasons for adding TERM=dumb to my environment settings, is to go and remove the TERM=dumb as directed in this comment on the msysgit bug report.

Control Panel/System/Advanced/Environment Variables... (or similar, depending on your version of Windows) is where sticky environment variables are set on Windows. By default, TERM is not set. If TERM is set in there, then you (or one of the programs you have installed - e.g. Strawberry Perl) has set it. Delete that setting, and you should be fine.

Similarly if you use Strawberry Perl and care about the CPAN client or something like that, you can leave the TERM=dumb alone and use unset TERM in your ~/.bashrc file which will have a similar effect to setting an explicit term as above.

Of course, all the other solutions are correct in that you can use git config --global core.editor $MYFAVORITEEDITOR to make sure that Git uses your favorite editor when it needs to launch one for you.

Easy interview question got harder: given numbers 1..100, find the missing number(s) given exactly k are missing

May be this algorithm can work for question 1:

  1. Precompute xor of first 100 integers(val=1^2^3^4....100)
  2. xor the elements as they keep coming from input stream ( val1=val1^next_input)
  3. final answer=val^val1

Or even better:

def GetValue(A)
  val=0
  for i=1 to 100
    do
      val=val^i
    done
  for value in A:
    do
      val=val^value 
    done
  return val

This algorithm can in fact be expanded for two missing numbers. The first step remains the same. When we call GetValue with two missing numbers the result will be a a1^a2 are the two missing numbers. Lets say

val = a1^a2

Now to sieve out a1 and a2 from val we take any set bit in val. Lets say the ith bit is set in val. That means that a1 and a2 have different parity at ith bit position. Now we do another iteration on the original array and keep two xor values. One for the numbers which have the ith bit set and other which doesn't have the ith bit set. We now have two buckets of numbers, and its guranteed that a1 and a2 will lie in different buckets. Now repeat the same what we did for finding one missing element on each of the bucket.

how to check for special characters php

<?php

$string = 'foo';

if (preg_match('/[\'^£$%&*()}{@#~?><>,|=_+¬-]/', $string))
{
    // one or more of the 'special characters' found in $string
}

How to escape the equals sign in properties files

The best way to avoid this kind of issues it to build properties programmatically and then store them. For example, using code like this:

java.util.Properties props = new java.util.Properties();
props.setProperty("table.whereclause", "where id=100");
props.store(System.out, null);

This would output to System.out the properly escaped version.

In my case the output was:

#Mon Aug 12 13:50:56 EEST 2013
table.whereclause=where id\=100

As you can see, this is an easy way to generate content of .properties files that's guaranteed to be correct. And you can put as many properties as you want.

Difference between os.getenv and os.environ.get

One difference observed (Python27):

os.environ raises an exception if the environmental variable does not exist. os.getenv does not raise an exception, but returns None

ggplot2 plot without axes, legends, etc

Late to the party, but might be of interest...

I find a combination of labs and guides specification useful in many cases:

You want nothing but a grid and a background:

ggplot(diamonds, mapping = aes(x = clarity)) + 
  geom_bar(aes(fill = cut)) + 
  labs(x = NULL, y = NULL) + 
  guides(x = "none", y = "none")

enter image description here

You want to only suppress the tick-mark label of one or both axes:

ggplot(diamonds, mapping = aes(x = clarity)) + 
  geom_bar(aes(fill = cut)) + 
  guides(x = "none", y = "none")

enter image description here

How can I strip first X characters from string using sed?

It is sometimes useful to not use quotes... because this can highlight issues in the code generating the query... For example:

Is a SQL syntax error... a little lazy but can be useful...

How can I change Mac OS's default Java VM returned from /usr/libexec/java_home

A bit late but as this is an ongoing issue with Mac OSX...

The simplest solution I found was to simply remove the OpenJDK stuff that Apple installs. Every time an update of Mac OSX arrives it gets installed and you'll need to remove it again.

This works really well if you develop apps for Google App Engine on your mac using Java. The OpenJDK does not work well and the Java version that comes with the Mac OSX Yosemite upgrade will make the Eclipse Plug-in for App Engine crash on every deployment with the helpful error: "Read timed out".

How to make a div center align in HTML

it depends if your div is in position: absolute / fixed or relative / static

for position: absolute & fixed

<div style="position: absolute; /*or fixed*/;
width: 50%;
height: 300px;
left: 50%;
top:100px;
margin: 0 0 0 -25%">blblablbalba</div>

The trick here is to have a negative margin half the width of the object

for position: relative & static

<div style="position: relative; /*or static*/;
width: 50%;
height: 300px;
margin: 0 auto">blblablbalba</div>

for both techniques, it is imperative to set the width.

Pandas convert dataframe to array of tuples

Motivation
Many data sets are large enough that we need to concern ourselves with speed/efficiency. So I offer this solution in that spirit. It happens to also be succinct.

For the sake of comparison, let's drop the index column

df = data_set.drop('index', 1)

Solution
I'll propose the use of zip and map

list(zip(*map(df.get, df)))

[('2012-02-17', 24.75, 25.03),
 ('2012-02-16', 25.0, 25.07),
 ('2012-02-15', 24.99, 25.15),
 ('2012-02-14', 24.68, 25.05),
 ('2012-02-13', 24.62, 24.77),
 ('2012-02-10', 24.38, 24.61)]

It happens to also be flexible if we wanted to deal with a specific subset of columns. We'll assume the columns we've already displayed are the subset we want.

list(zip(*map(df.get, ['data_date', 'data_1', 'data_2'])))

[('2012-02-17', 24.75, 25.03),
 ('2012-02-16', 25.0, 25.07),
 ('2012-02-15', 24.99, 25.15),
 ('2012-02-14', 24.68, 25.05),
 ('2012-02-13', 24.62, 24.77),
 ('2012-02-10', 24.38, 24.61)]

What is Quicker?

Turn's out records is quickest followed by asymptotically converging zipmap and iter_tuples

I'll use a library simple_benchmarks that I got from this post

from simple_benchmark import BenchmarkBuilder
b = BenchmarkBuilder()

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

def tuple_comp(df): return [tuple(x) for x in df.to_numpy()]
def iter_namedtuples(df): return list(df.itertuples(index=False))
def iter_tuples(df): return list(df.itertuples(index=False, name=None))
def records(df): return df.to_records(index=False).tolist()
def zipmap(df): return list(zip(*map(df.get, df)))

funcs = [tuple_comp, iter_namedtuples, iter_tuples, records, zipmap]
for func in funcs:
    b.add_function()(func)

def creator(n):
    return pd.DataFrame({"A": random.randint(n, size=n), "B": random.randint(n, size=n)})

@b.add_arguments('Rows in DataFrame')
def argument_provider():
    for n in (10 ** (np.arange(4, 11) / 2)).astype(int):
        yield n, creator(n)

r = b.run()

StringBuilder vs String concatenation in toString() in Java

In most cases, you won't see an actual difference between the two approaches, but it's easy to construct a worst case scenario like this one:

public class Main
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        long now = System.currentTimeMillis();
        slow();
        System.out.println("slow elapsed " + (System.currentTimeMillis() - now) + " ms");

        now = System.currentTimeMillis();
        fast();
        System.out.println("fast elapsed " + (System.currentTimeMillis() - now) + " ms");
    }

    private static void fast()
    {
        StringBuilder s = new StringBuilder();
        for(int i=0;i<100000;i++)
            s.append("*");      
    }

    private static void slow()
    {
        String s = "";
        for(int i=0;i<100000;i++)
            s+="*";
    }
}

The output is:

slow elapsed 11741 ms
fast elapsed 7 ms

The problem is that to += append to a string reconstructs a new string, so it costs something linear to the length of your strings (sum of both).

So - to your question:

The second approach would be faster, but it's less readable and harder to maintain. As I said, in your specific case you would probably not see the difference.

Also use the json.stringify() function to double check your JSON syntax.

How is a CRC32 checksum calculated?

The polynomial for CRC32 is:

x32 + x26 + x23 + x22 + x16 + x12 + x11 + x10 + x8 + x7 + x5 + x4 + x2 + x + 1

Or in hex and binary:

0x 01 04 C1 1D B7
1 0000 0100 1100 0001 0001 1101 1011 0111

The highest term (x32) is usually not explicitly written, so it can instead be represented in hex just as

0x 04 C1 1D B7

Feel free to count the 1s and 0s, but you'll find they match up with the polynomial, where 1 is bit 0 (or the first bit) and x is bit 1 (or the second bit).

Why this polynomial? Because there needs to be a standard given polynomial and the standard was set by IEEE 802.3. Also it is extremely difficult to find a polynomial that detects different bit errors effectively.

You can think of the CRC-32 as a series of "Binary Arithmetic with No Carries", or basically "XOR and shift operations". This is technically called Polynomial Arithmetic.

To better understand it, think of this multiplication:

(x^3 + x^2 + x^0)(x^3 + x^1 + x^0)
= (x^6 + x^4 + x^3
 + x^5 + x^3 + x^2
 + x^3 + x^1 + x^0)
= x^6 + x^5 + x^4 + 3*x^3 + x^2 + x^1 + x^0

If we assume x is base 2 then we get:

x^7 + x^3 + x^2 + x^1 + x^0

Why? Because 3x^3 is 11x^11 (but we need only 1 or 0 pre digit) so we carry over:

=1x^110 + 1x^101 + 1x^100          + 11x^11 + 1x^10 + 1x^1 + x^0
=1x^110 + 1x^101 + 1x^100 + 1x^100 + 1x^11 + 1x^10 + 1x^1 + x^0
=1x^110 + 1x^101 + 1x^101          + 1x^11 + 1x^10 + 1x^1 + x^0
=1x^110 + 1x^110                   + 1x^11 + 1x^10 + 1x^1 + x^0
=1x^111                            + 1x^11 + 1x^10 + 1x^1 + x^0

But mathematicians changed the rules so that it is mod 2. So basically any binary polynomial mod 2 is just addition without carry or XORs. So our original equation looks like:

=( 1x^110 + 1x^101 + 1x^100 + 11x^11 + 1x^10 + 1x^1 + x^0 ) MOD 2
=( 1x^110 + 1x^101 + 1x^100 +  1x^11 + 1x^10 + 1x^1 + x^0 )
= x^6 + x^5 + x^4 + 3*x^3 + x^2 + x^1 + x^0 (or that original number we had)

I know this is a leap of faith but this is beyond my capability as a line-programmer. If you are a hard-core CS-student or engineer I challenge to break this down. Everyone will benefit from this analysis.

So to work out a full example:

   Original message                : 1101011011
   Polynomial of (W)idth 4         :      10011
   Message after appending W zeros : 11010110110000

Now we divide the augmented Message by the Poly using CRC arithmetic. This is the same division as before:

            1100001010 = Quotient (nobody cares about the quotient)
       _______________
10011 ) 11010110110000 = Augmented message (1101011011 + 0000)
=Poly   10011,,.,,....

                10100.
                10011.
                -----.
                 01110
                 00000
                 -----
                  1110 = Remainder = THE CHECKSUM!!!!

The division yields a quotient, which we throw away, and a remainder, which is the calculated checksum. This ends the calculation. Usually, the checksum is then appended to the message and the result transmitted. In this case the transmission would be: 11010110111110.

Only use a 32-bit number as your divisor and use your entire stream as your dividend. Throw out the quotient and keep the remainder. Tack the remainder on the end of your message and you have a CRC32.

Average guy review:

         QUOTIENT
        ----------
DIVISOR ) DIVIDEND
                 = REMAINDER
  1. Take the first 32 bits.
  2. Shift bits
  3. If 32 bits are less than DIVISOR, go to step 2.
  4. XOR 32 bits by DIVISOR. Go to step 2.

(Note that the stream has to be dividable by 32 bits or it should be padded. For example, an 8-bit ANSI stream would have to be padded. Also at the end of the stream, the division is halted.)

How do I combine 2 javascript variables into a string

if you want to concatenate the string representation of the values of two variables, use the + sign :

var var1 = 1;
var var2 = "bob";
var var3 = var2 + var1;//=bob1

But if you want to keep the two in only one variable, but still be able to access them later, you could make an object container:

function Container(){
   this.variables = [];
}
Container.prototype.addVar = function(var){
   this.variables.push(var);
}
Container.prototype.toString = function(){
   var result = '';
   for(var i in this.variables)
       result += this.variables[i];
   return result;
}

var var1 = 1;
var var2 = "bob";
var container = new Container();
container.addVar(var2);
container.addVar(var1);
container.toString();// = bob1

the advantage is that you can get the string representation of the two variables, bit you can modify them later :

container.variables[0] = 3;
container.variables[1] = "tom";
container.toString();// = tom3

R apply function with multiple parameters

To further generalize @Alexander's example, outer is relevant in cases where a function must compute itself on each pair of vector values:

vars2<-c(10,20,30)
mult_one<-function(var1,var2)
{
   var1*var2
}
outer(vars1,vars2,mult_one)

gives:

> outer(vars1, vars2, mult_one)
     [,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,]   10   20   30
[2,]   20   40   60

How does OAuth 2 protect against things like replay attacks using the Security Token?

Based on what I've read, this is how it all works:

The general flow outlined in the question is correct. In step 2, User X is authenticated, and is also authorizing Site A's access to User X's information on Site B. In step 4, the site passes its Secret back to Site B, authenticating itself, as well as the Authorization Code, indicating what it's asking for (User X's access token).

Overall, OAuth 2 actually is a very simple security model, and encryption never comes directly into play. Instead, both the Secret and the Security Token are essentially passwords, and the whole thing is secured only by the security of the https connection.

OAuth 2 has no protection against replay attacks of the Security Token or the Secret. Instead, it relies entirely on Site B being responsible with these items and not letting them get out, and on them being sent over https while in transit (https will protect URL parameters).

The purpose of the Authorization Code step is simply convenience, and the Authorization Code is not especially sensitive on its own. It provides a common identifier for User X's access token for Site A when asking Site B for User X's access token. Just User X's user id on Site B would not have worked, because there could be many outstanding access tokens waiting to be handed out to different sites at the same time.

inject bean reference into a Quartz job in Spring?

A simple way to do it would be to just annotate the Quartz Jobs with @Component annotation, and then Spring will do all the DI magic for you, as it is now recognized as a Spring bean. I had to do something similar for an AspectJ aspect - it was not a Spring bean until I annotated it with the Spring @Component stereotype.

How to increase Neo4j's maximum file open limit (ulimit) in Ubuntu?

I am using Debian but this solution should work fine with Ubuntu.
You have to add a line in the neo4j-service script.
Here is what I have done :

nano /etc/init.d/neo4j-service
Add « ulimit –n 40000 » just before the start-stop-daemon line in the do_start section

Note that I am using version 2.0 Enterprise edition. Hope this will help you.

How to implement linear interpolation?

As I understand your question, you want to write some function y = interpolate(x_values, y_values, x), which will give you the y value at some x? The basic idea then follows these steps:

  1. Find the indices of the values in x_values which define an interval containing x. For instance, for x=3 with your example lists, the containing interval would be [x1,x2]=[2.5,3.4], and the indices would be i1=1, i2=2
  2. Calculate the slope on this interval by (y_values[i2]-y_values[i1])/(x_values[i2]-x_values[i1]) (ie dy/dx).
  3. The value at x is now the value at x1 plus the slope multiplied by the distance from x1.

You will additionally need to decide what happens if x is outside the interval of x_values, either it's an error, or you could interpolate "backwards", assuming the slope is the same as the first/last interval.

Did this help, or did you need more specific advice?

Live search through table rows

I took yckart's answer and:

  • spaced it out for readability
  • case insensitive search
  • there was a bug in the comparison that was fixed by adding .trim()

(If you put your scripts at the bottom of your page below the jQuery include you shouldn't need document ready)

jQuery:

 <script>
    $(".card-table-search").keyup(function() {
        var value = this.value.toLowerCase().trim();

        $(".card-table").find("tr").each(function(index) {
            var id = $(this).find("td").first().text().toLowerCase().trim();
            $(this).toggle(id.indexOf(value) !== -1);
        });
    });
 </script>

If you want to extend this have it iterate over each 'td' and do this comparison.

Magento - Retrieve products with a specific attribute value

This is a follow up to my original question to help out others with the same problem. If you need to filter by an attribute, rather than manually looking up the id you can use the following code to retrieve all the id, value pairs for an attribute. The data is returned as an array with the attribute name as the key.

function getAttributeOptions($attributeName) {
    $product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product');
    $collection = Mage::getResourceModel('eav/entity_attribute_collection')
              ->setEntityTypeFilter($product->getResource()->getTypeId())
              ->addFieldToFilter('attribute_code', $attributeName);

    $_attribute = $collection->getFirstItem()->setEntity($product->getResource());
    $attribute_options  = $_attribute->getSource()->getAllOptions(false);
    foreach($attribute_options as $val) {
        $attrList[$val['label']] = $val['value'];
    }   

    return $attrList;
}

Here is a function you can use to get products by their attribute set id. Retrieved using the previous function.

function getProductsByAttributeSetId($attributeSetId) {
   $products = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->getCollection();
   $products->addAttributeToFilter('attribute_set_id',$attributeSetId);

   $products->addAttributeToSelect('*');

   $products->load();
   foreach($products as $val) {
     $productsArray[] = $val->getData();
  }

  return $productsArray;
}

How to get a password from a shell script without echoing

First of all, if anyone is going to store any password in a file, I would make sure it's hashed. It's not the best security, but at least it will not be in plain text.

  1. First, create the password and hash it:

    echo "password123" | md5sum  | cut -d '-' -f 1 > /tmp/secret
    
  2. Now, create your program to use the hash. In this case, this little program receives user input for a password without echoing, and then converts it to hash to be compared with the stored hash. If it matches the stored hash, then access is granted:

    #!/bin/bash
    
    PASSWORD_FILE="/tmp/secret"
    MD5_HASH=$(cat /tmp/secret)
    PASSWORD_WRONG=1
    
    
    while [ $PASSWORD_WRONG -eq 1 ]
     do
        echo "Enter your password:"
        read -s ENTERED_PASSWORD
        if [ "$MD5_HASH" != "$(echo $ENTERED_PASSWORD | md5sum | cut -d '-' -f 1)" ]; then
            echo "Access Deniend: Incorrenct password!. Try again"
        else
            echo "Access Granted"
            PASSWORD_WRONG=0
        fi
    done

addClass and removeClass in jQuery - not removing class

I actually just resolved an issue I was having by swapping around the order that I was altering the properties in. For example I was changing the attribute first but I actually had to remove the class and add the new class before modifying the attributes. I'm not sure why it worked but it did. So something to try would be to change from $("XXXX").attr('something').removeClass( "class" ).addClass( "newClass" ) to $("XXXX").removeClass( "class" ).addClass( "newClass" ).attr('something').

Cannot refer to a non-final variable inside an inner class defined in a different method

The main concern is whether a variable inside the anonymous class instance can be resolved at run-time. It is not a must to make a variable final as long as it is guaranteed that the variable is inside the run-time scope. For example, please see the two variables _statusMessage and _statusTextView inside updateStatus() method.

public class WorkerService extends Service {

Worker _worker;
ExecutorService _executorService;
ScheduledExecutorService _scheduledStopService;

TextView _statusTextView;


@Override
public void onCreate() {
    _worker = new Worker(this);
    _worker.monitorGpsInBackground();

    // To get a thread pool service containing merely one thread
    _executorService = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor();

    // schedule something to run in the future
    _scheduledStopService = Executors.newSingleThreadScheduledExecutor();
}

@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {

    ServiceRunnable runnable = new ServiceRunnable(this, startId);
    _executorService.execute(runnable);

    // the return value tells what the OS should
    // do if this service is killed for resource reasons
    // 1. START_STICKY: the OS restarts the service when resources become
    // available by passing a null intent to onStartCommand
    // 2. START_REDELIVER_INTENT: the OS restarts the service when resources
    // become available by passing the last intent that was passed to the
    // service before it was killed to onStartCommand
    // 3. START_NOT_STICKY: just wait for next call to startService, no
    // auto-restart
    return Service.START_NOT_STICKY;
}

@Override
public void onDestroy() {
    _worker.stopGpsMonitoring();
}

@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
    return null;
}

class ServiceRunnable implements Runnable {

    WorkerService _theService;
    int _startId;
    String _statusMessage;

    public ServiceRunnable(WorkerService theService, int startId) {
        _theService = theService;
        _startId = startId;
    }

    @Override
    public void run() {

        _statusTextView = MyActivity.getActivityStatusView();

        // get most recently available location as a latitude /
        // longtitude
        Location location = _worker.getLocation();
        updateStatus("Starting");

        // convert lat/lng to a human-readable address
        String address = _worker.reverseGeocode(location);
        updateStatus("Reverse geocoding");

        // Write the location and address out to a file
        _worker.save(location, address, "ResponsiveUx.out");
        updateStatus("Done");

        DelayedStopRequest stopRequest = new DelayedStopRequest(_theService, _startId);

        // schedule a stopRequest after 10 seconds
        _theService._scheduledStopService.schedule(stopRequest, 10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
    }

    void updateStatus(String message) {
        _statusMessage = message;

        if (_statusTextView != null) {
            _statusTextView.post(new Runnable() {

                @Override
                public void run() {
                    _statusTextView.setText(_statusMessage);

                }

            });
        }
    }

Spring-Security-Oauth2: Full authentication is required to access this resource

This is incredible but real.

csrf filter is enabled by default and it actually blocks any POST, PUT or DELETE requests which do not include de csrf token.

Try using a GET instead of POST to confirm that this is it.

If this is so then allow any HTTP method:

@Throws(Exception::class)
override fun configure(http: HttpSecurity) {

    /**
     * Allow POST, PUT or DELETE request
     *
     * NOTE: csrf filter is enabled by default and it actually blocks any POST, PUT or DELETE requests
     * which do not include de csrf token.
     */
    http.csrf().disable()

}

If you are obtaining a 401 the most intuitive thing is to think that in the request you have No Auth or you are missing something in the headers regarding authorization.

But apparently there is an internal function that is filtering the HTTP methods that use POST and returns a 401. After fixing it I thought it was a cache issue with the status code but apparently not.

  1. Why is this happening?

    The entire ext/mysql PHP extension, which provides all functions named with the prefix mysql_, was officially deprecated in PHP v5.5.0 and removed in PHP v7.

    It was originally introduced in PHP v2.0 (November 1997) for MySQL v3.20, and no new features have been added since 2006. Coupled with the lack of new features are difficulties in maintaining such old code amidst complex security vulnerabilities.

    The manual has contained warnings against its use in new code since June 2011.

  2. How can I fix it?

    As the error message suggests, there are two other MySQL extensions that you can consider: MySQLi and PDO_MySQL, either of which can be used instead of ext/mysql. Both have been in PHP core since v5.0, so if you're using a version that is throwing these deprecation errors then you can almost certainly just start using them right away—i.e. without any installation effort.

    They differ slightly, but offer a number of advantages over the old extension including API support for transactions, stored procedures and prepared statements (thereby providing the best way to defeat SQL injection attacks). PHP developer Ulf Wendel has written a thorough comparison of the features.

    Hashphp.org has an excellent tutorial on migrating from ext/mysql to PDO.

  3. I understand that it's possible to suppress deprecation errors by setting error_reporting in php.ini to exclude E_DEPRECATED:

    error_reporting = E_ALL ^ E_DEPRECATED
    

    What will happen if I do that?

    Yes, it is possible to suppress such error messages and continue using the old ext/mysql extension for the time being. But you really shouldn't do this—this is a final warning from the developers that the extension may not be bundled with future versions of PHP (indeed, as already mentioned, it has been removed from PHP v7). Instead, you should take this opportunity to migrate your application now, before it's too late.

    Note also that this technique will suppress all E_DEPRECATED messages, not just those to do with the ext/mysql extension: therefore you may be unaware of other upcoming changes to PHP that would affect your application code. It is, of course, possible to only suppress errors that arise on the expression at issue by using PHP's error control operator—i.e. prepending the relevant line with @—however this will suppress all errors raised by that expression, not just E_DEPRECATED ones.


What should you do?

  • You are starting a new project.

    There is absolutely no reason to use ext/mysql—choose one of the other, more modern, extensions instead and reap the rewards of the benefits they offer.

  • You have (your own) legacy codebase that currently depends upon ext/mysql.

    It would be wise to perform regression testing: you really shouldn't be changing anything (especially upgrading PHP) until you have identified all of the potential areas of impact, planned around each of them and then thoroughly tested your solution in a staging environment.

    • Following good coding practice, your application was developed in a loosely integrated/modular fashion and the database access methods are all self-contained in one place that can easily be swapped out for one of the new extensions.

      Spend half an hour rewriting this module to use one of the other, more modern, extensions; test thoroughly. You can later introduce further refinements to reap the rewards of the benefits they offer.

    • The database access methods are scattered all over the place and cannot easily be swapped out for one of the new extensions.

      Consider whether you really need to upgrade to PHP v5.5 at this time.

      You should begin planning to replace ext/mysql with one of the other, more modern, extensions in order that you can reap the rewards of the benefits they offer; you might also use it as an opportunity to refactor your database access methods into a more modular structure.

      However, if you have an urgent need to upgrade PHP right away, you might consider suppressing deprecation errors for the time being: but first be sure to identify any other deprecation errors that are also being thrown.

  • You are using a third party project that depends upon ext/mysql.

    Consider whether you really need to upgrade to PHP v5.5 at this time.

    Check whether the developer has released any fixes, workarounds or guidance in relation to this specific issue; or, if not, pressure them to do so by bringing this matter to their attention. If you have an urgent need to upgrade PHP right away, you might consider suppressing deprecation errors for the time being: but first be sure to identify any other deprecation errors that are also being thrown.

    It is absolutely essential to perform regression testing.

How to set up datasource with Spring for HikariCP?

I have recently migrated from C3P0 to HikariCP in a Spring and Hibernate based project and it was not as easy as I had imagined and here I am sharing my findings.

For Spring Boot see my answer here

I have the following setup

  • Spring 4.3.8+
  • Hiberante 4.3.8+
  • Gradle 2.x
  • PostgreSQL 9.5

Some of the below configs are similar to some of the answers above but, there are differences.

Gradle stuff

In order to pull in the right jars, I needed to pull in the following jars

//latest driver because *brettw* see https://github.com/pgjdbc/pgjdbc/pull/849
compile 'org.postgresql:postgresql:42.2.0'
compile('com.zaxxer:HikariCP:2.7.6') {
    //they are pulled in separately elsewhere
    exclude group: 'org.hibernate', module: 'hibernate-core'
}

// Recommended to use HikariCPConnectionProvider by Hibernate in 4.3.6+    
compile('org.hibernate:hibernate-hikaricp:4.3.8.Final') {
        //they are pulled in separately elsewhere, to avoid version conflicts
        exclude group: 'org.hibernate', module: 'hibernate-core'
        exclude group: 'com.zaxxer', module: 'HikariCP'
}

// Needed for HikariCP logging if you use log4j
compile('org.slf4j:slf4j-simple:1.7.25')  
compile('org.slf4j:slf4j-log4j12:1.7.25') {
    //log4j pulled in separately, exclude to avoid version conflict
    exclude group: 'log4j', module: 'log4j'
}

Spring/Hibernate based configs

In order to get Spring & Hibernate to make use of Hikari Connection pool, you need to define the HikariDataSource and feed it into sessionFactory bean as shown below.

<!-- HikariCP Database bean -->
<bean id="dataSource" class="com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariDataSource" destroy-method="close">
    <constructor-arg ref="hikariConfig" />
</bean>

<!-- HikariConfig config that is fed to above dataSource -->
<bean id="hikariConfig" class="com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariConfig">
        <property name="poolName" value="SpringHikariPool" />
        <property name="dataSourceClassName" value="org.postgresql.ds.PGSimpleDataSource" />
        <property name="maximumPoolSize" value="20" />
        <property name="idleTimeout" value="30000" />

        <property name="dataSourceProperties">
            <props>
                <prop key="serverName">localhost</prop>
                <prop key="portNumber">5432</prop>
                <prop key="databaseName">dbname</prop>
                <prop key="user">dbuser</prop>
                <prop key="password">dbpassword</prop>
            </props>
        </property>
</bean>

<bean class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.LocalSessionFactoryBean" id="sessionFactory">
        <!-- Your Hikari dataSource below -->
        <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource"/>
        <!-- your other configs go here -->
        <property name="hibernateProperties">
            <props>
                <prop key="hibernate.connection.provider_class">org.hibernate.hikaricp.internal.HikariCPConnectionProvider</prop>
                <!-- Remaining props goes here -->
            </props>
        </property>
 </bean>

Once the above are setup then, you need to add an entry to your log4j or logback and set the level to DEBUG to see Hikari Connection Pool start up.

Log4j1.2

<!-- Keep additivity=false to avoid duplicate lines -->
<logger additivity="false" name="com.zaxxer.hikari">
    <level value="debug"/>
    <!-- Your appenders goes here -->
</logger>

Logback

Via application.properties in Spring Boot

debug=true
logging.level.com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariConfig=DEBUG 

Using logback.xml

<logger name="com.zaxxer.hikari" level="DEBUG" additivity="false">
    <appender-ref ref="STDOUT" />
</logger>

With the above you should be all good to go! Obviously you need to customize the HikariCP pool configs in order to get the performance that it promises.

Gaussian fit for Python

There is another way of performing the fit, which is by using the 'lmfit' package. It basically uses the cuve_fit but is much better in fitting and offers complex fitting as well. Detailed step by step instructions are given in the below link. http://cars9.uchicago.edu/software/python/lmfit/model.html#model.best_fit

More elegant "ps aux | grep -v grep"

You could use preg_split instead of explode and split on [ ]+ (one or more spaces). But I think in this case you could go with preg_match_all and capturing:

preg_match_all('/[ ]php[ ]+\S+[ ]+(\S+)/', $input, $matches);
$result = $matches[1];

The pattern matches a space, php, more spaces, a string of non-spaces (the path), more spaces, and then captures the next string of non-spaces. The first space is mostly to ensure that you don't match php as part of a user name but really only as a command.

An alternative to capturing is the "keep" feature of PCRE. If you use \K in the pattern, everything before it is discarded in the match:

preg_match_all('/[ ]php[ ]+\S+[ ]+\K\S+/', $input, $matches);
$result = $matches[0];

I would use preg_match(). I do something similar for many of my system management scripts. Here is an example:

$test = "user     12052  0.2  0.1 137184 13056 ?        Ss   10:00   0:00 php /home/user/public_html/utilities/runProcFile.php cust1 cron

user     12055  0.6  0.1 137844 14220 ?        Ss   10:00   0:00 php /home/user/public_html/utilities/runProcFile.php cust4 cron
user     12057  0.2  0.1 137184 13052 ?        Ss   10:00   0:00 php /home/user/public_html/utilities/runProcFile.php cust89 cron

user     12059  0.3  0.1 135112 13000 ?        Ss   10:00   0:00 php /home/user/public_html/utilities/runProcFile.php cust16 cron
root     12068  0.0  0.0 106088  1164 pts/1    S+   10:00   0:00 sh -c ps aux | grep utilities > /home/user/public_html/logs/dashboard/currentlyPosting.txt
root     12070  0.0  0.0 103240   828 pts/1    R+   10:00   0:00 grep utilities";

$lines = explode("\n", $test);

foreach($lines as $line){
        if(preg_match("/.php[\s+](cust[\d]+)[\s+]cron/i", $line, $matches)){
                print_r($matches);
        }

}

The above prints:

Array
(
    [0] => .php cust1 cron
    [1] => cust1
)
Array
(
    [0] => .php cust3 cron
    [1] => cust3
)
Array
(
    [0] => .php cust4 cron
    [1] => cust4
)
Array
(
    [0] => .php cust89 cron
    [1] => cust89
)
Array
(
    [0] => .php cust435 cron
    [1] => cust435
)
Array
(
    [0] => .php cust16 cron
    [1] => cust16
)

You can set $test to equal the output from exec. the values you are looking for would be in the if statement under the foreach. $matches[1] will have the custx value.

Get my phone number in android

PHP Converting Integer to Date, reverse of strtotime

Can you try this,

echo date("Y-m-d H:i:s", 1388516401);

As noted by theGame,

This means that you pass in a string value for the time, and optionally a value for the current time, which is a UNIX timestamp. The value that is returned is an integer which is a UNIX timestamp.

echo strtotime("2014-01-01 00:00:01");

This will return into the value 1388516401, which is the UNIX timestamp for the date 2014-01-01. This can be confirmed using the date() function as like below:

echo date('Y-m-d', 1198148400); // echos 2014-01-01

Scroll to bottom of Div on page load (jQuery)

You can check scrollHeight and clientHeight with scrollTop to scroll to bottom of div like code below.

_x000D_
_x000D_
$('#div').scroll(function (event) {_x000D_
  if ((parseInt($('#div')[0].scrollHeight) - parseInt(this.clientHeight)) == parseInt($('#div').scrollTop())) _x000D_
  {_x000D_
    console.log("this is scroll bottom of div");_x000D_

Can I read the hash portion of the URL on my server-side application (PHP, Ruby, Python, etc.)?

Simple test, accessing http://localhost:8000/hello?foo=bar#this-is-not-sent-to-server

python -c "import SimpleHTTPServer;SimpleHTTPServer.test()"
Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000 ...
localhost - - [02/Jun/2009 12:48:47] code 404, message File not found
localhost - - [02/Jun/2009 12:48:47] "GET /hello?foo=bar HTTP/1.1" 404 -

The server receives the request without the #appendage - anything after the hash tag is simply an anchor lookup on the client.

You can find the anchor name used within the URL via javascript using, as an example:

<script>alert(window.location.hash);</script>

The parse_url() function in PHP can work if you already have the needed URL string including the fragment (http://codepad.org/BDqjtXix):

<?
echo parse_url("http://foo?bar#fizzbuzz",PHP_URL_FRAGMENT);
?>

Output: fizzbuzz

But I don't think PHP receives the fragment information because it's client-only.

How to get images in Bootstrap's card to be the same height/width?

.card-img-top {

How to iterate over a column vector in Matlab?

If you just want to apply a function to each element and put the results in an output array, you can use arrayfun.

As others have pointed out, for most operations, it's best to avoid loops in MATLAB and vectorise your code instead.

Python: import module from another directory at the same level in project hierarchy

If I move CreateUser.py to the main user_management directory, I can easily use: import Modules.LDAPManager to import LDAPManager.py --- this works.

Please, don't. In this way the LDAPManager module used by CreateUser will not be the same as the one imported via other imports. This can create problems when you have some global state in the module or during pickling/unpickling. Avoid imports that work only because the module happens to be in the same directory.

When you have a package structure you should either:

  • Use relative imports, i.e if the CreateUser.py is in Scripts/:

     from ..Modules import LDAPManager
    

    Note that this was (note the past tense) discouraged by PEP 8 only because old versions of python didn't support them very well, but this problem was solved years ago. The current version of PEP 8 does suggest them as an acceptable alternative to absolute imports. I actually like them inside packages.

  • Use absolute imports using the whole package name(CreateUser.py in Scripts/):

     from user_management.Modules import LDAPManager
    

In order for the second one to work the package user_management should be installed inside the PYTHONPATH. During development you can configure the IDE so that this happens, without having to manually add calls to sys.path.append anywhere.

Also I find it odd that Scripts/ is a subpackage. Because in a real installation the user_management module would be installed under the site-packages found in the lib/ directory (whichever directory is used to install libraries in your OS), while the scripts should be installed under a bin/ directory (whichever contains executables for your OS).

In fact I believe Script/ shouldn't even be under user_management. It should be at the same level of user_management. In this way you do not have to use -m, but you simply have to make sure the package can be found (this again is a matter of configuring the IDE, installing the package correctly or using PYTHONPATH=. python Scripts/CreateUser.py to launch the scripts with the correct path).


In summary, the hierarchy I would use is:

user_management  (package)
        |
        |------- __init__.py
        |
        |------- Modules/
        |           |
        |           |----- __init__.py
        |           |----- LDAPManager.py
        |           |----- PasswordManager.py
        |

 Scripts/  (*not* a package)
        |  
        |----- CreateUser.py
        |----- FindUser.py

Then the code of CreateUser.py and FindUser.py should use absolute imports to import the modules:

from user_management.Modules import LDAPManager

During installation you make sure that user_management ends up somewhere in the PYTHONPATH, and the scripts inside the directory for executables so that they are able to find the modules. During development you either rely on IDE configuration, or you launch CreateUser.py adding the Scripts/ parent directory to the PYTHONPATH (I mean the directory that contains both user_management and Scripts):

PYTHONPATH=/the/parent/directory python Scripts/CreateUser.py

Or you can modify the PYTHONPATH globally so that you don't have to specify this each time. On unix OSes (linux, Mac OS X etc.) you can modify one of the shell scripts to define the PYTHONPATH external variable, on Windows you have to change the environmental variables settings.


Addendum I believe, if you are using python2, it's better to make sure to avoid implicit relative imports by putting:

from __future__ import absolute_import

at the top of your modules. In this way import X always means to import the toplevel module X and will never try to import the X.py file that's in the same directory (if that directory isn't in the PYTHONPATH). In this way the only way to do a relative import is to use the explicit syntax (the from . import X), which is better (explicit is better than implicit).

This will make sure you never happen to use the "bogus" implicit relative imports, since these would raise an ImportError clearly signalling that something is wrong. Otherwise you could use a module that's not what you think it is.

Best way to find if an item is in a JavaScript array?

A robust way to check if an object is an array in javascript is detailed here:

Here are two functions from the xa.js framework which I attach to a utils = {} ‘container’. These should help you properly detect arrays.

var utils = {};

/**
 * utils.isArray
 *
 * Best guess if object is an array.
 */
utils.isArray = function(obj) {
     // do an instanceof check first
     if (obj instanceof Array) {
         return true;
     }
     // then check for obvious falses
     if (typeof obj !== 'object') {
         return false;
     }
     if (utils.type(obj) === 'array') {
         return true;
     }
     return false;
 };

/**
 * utils.type
 *
 * Attempt to ascertain actual object type.
 */
utils.type = function(obj) {
    if (obj === null || typeof obj === 'undefined') {
        return String (obj);
    }
    return Object.prototype.toString.call(obj)
        .replace(/\[object ([a-zA-Z]+)\]/, '$1').toLowerCase();
};

If you then want to check if an object is in an array, I would also include this code:

/**
 * Adding hasOwnProperty method if needed.
 */
if (typeof Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty !== 'function') {
    Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty = function (prop) {
        var type = utils.type(this);
        type = type.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + type.substr(1);
        return this[prop] !== undefined
            && this[prop] !== window[type].prototype[prop];
    };
}

And finally this in_array function:

function in_array (needle, haystack, strict) {
    var key;

    if (strict) {
        for (key in haystack) {
            if (!haystack.hasOwnProperty[key]) continue;

            if (haystack[key] === needle) {
                return true;
            }
        }
    } else {
        for (key in haystack) {
            if (!haystack.hasOwnProperty[key]) continue;

            if (haystack[key] == needle) {
                return true;
            }
        }
    }

    return false;
}

  1. Open the standlone.conf file which under JBoss_or_wildfly\bin folder
  2. Within this file find for #JAVA_HOME text.
  3. Remove the # character and set your installed JDK path as JAVA_HOME="C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_65" Hope this will solve your problem Thanks

MongoDB: Combine data from multiple collections into one..how?

Yes you can: Take this utility function that I have written today:

function shangMergeCol() {
  tcol= db.getCollection(arguments[0]);
  for (var i=1; i<arguments.length; i++){
    scol= db.getCollection(arguments[i]);
    scol.find().forEach(
        function (d) {
            tcol.insert(d);
        }
    )
  }
}

You can pass to this function any number of collections, the first one is going to be the target one. All the rest collections are sources to be transferred to the target one.

Using ListView : How to add a header view?

You simply can't use View as a Header of ListView.

Because the view which is being passed in has to be inflated.

Look at my answer at Android ListView addHeaderView() nullPointerException for predefined Views for more info.

EDIT:

Look at this tutorial Android ListView and ListActivity - Tutorial .

EDIT 2: This link is broken Android ListActivity with a header or footer

SQL get the last date time record

Exact syntax will of course depend upon database, but something like:

SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE (filename, Dates) IN (SELECT filename, Max(Dates) FROM my_table GROUP BY filename)

This will give you results exactly what you are asking for and displaying above. Fiddle: http://www.sqlfiddle.com/#!2/3af8a/1/0

how to wait for first command to finish?

Make sure that st_new.sh does something at the end what you can recognize (like touch /tmp/st_new.tmp when you remove the file first and always start one instance of st_new.sh).
Then make a polling loop. First sleep the normal time you think you should wait, and wait short time in every loop. This will result in something like

max_retry=20
retry=0
sleep 10 # Minimum time for st_new.sh to finish
while [ ${retry} -lt ${max_retry} ]; do
   if [ -f /tmp/st_new.tmp ]; then
      break # call results.sh outside loop
   else
      (( retry = retry + 1 ))
      sleep 1
   fi
done
if [ -f /tmp/st_new.tmp ]; then
   source ../../results.sh 
   rm -f /tmp/st_new.tmp
else
   echo Something wrong with st_new.sh
fi

PostgreSQL: ERROR: operator does not exist: integer = character varying

I think it is telling you exactly what is wrong. You cannot compare an integer with a varchar. PostgreSQL is strict and does not do any magic typecasting for you. I'm guessing SQLServer does typecasting automagically (which is a bad thing).

If you want to compare these two different beasts, you will have to cast one to the other using the casting syntax ::.

Something along these lines:

create view view1
as 
select table1.col1,table2.col1,table3.col3
from table1 
inner join
table2 
inner join 
table3
on 
table1.col4::varchar = table2.col5
/* Here col4 of table1 is of "integer" type and col5 of table2 is of type "varchar" */
/* ERROR: operator does not exist: integer = character varying */
....;

Notice the varchar typecasting on the table1.col4.

Also note that typecasting might possibly render your index on that column unusable and has a performance penalty, which is pretty bad. An even better solution would be to see if you can permanently change one of the two column types to match the other one. Literately change your database design.

Or you could create a index on the casted values by using a custom, immutable function which casts the values on the column. But this too may prove suboptimal (but better than live casting).

How to convert a string to lower case in Bash?

The are various ways:

POSIX standard

tr

$ echo "$a" | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]'
hi all

AWK

$ echo "$a" | awk '{print tolower($0)}'
hi all

Non-POSIX

You may run into portability issues with the following examples:

Bash 4.0

$ echo "${a,,}"
hi all

sed

$ echo "$a" | sed -e 's/\(.*\)/\L\1/'
hi all
# this also works:
$ sed -e 's/\(.*\)/\L\1/' <<< "$a"
hi all

Perl

$ echo "$a" | perl -ne 'print lc'
hi all

Bash

lc(){
    case "$1" in
        [A-Z])
        n=$(printf "%d" "'$1")
        n=$((n+32))
        printf \\$(printf "%o" "$n")
        ;;
        *)
        printf "%s" "$1"
        ;;
    esac
}
word="I Love Bash"
for((i=0;i<${#word};i++))
do
    ch="${word:$i:1}"
    lc "$ch"
done

Note: YMMV on this one. Doesn't work for me (GNU bash version 4.2.46 and 4.0.33 (and same behaviour 2.05b.0 but nocasematch is not implemented)) even with using shopt -u nocasematch;. Unsetting that nocasematch causes [[ "fooBaR" == "FOObar" ]] to match OK BUT inside case weirdly [b-z] are incorrectly matched by [A-Z]. Bash is confused by the double-negative ("unsetting nocasematch")! :-)

How to split a string and assign it to variables

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "strings"
)

func main() {
    strs := strings.Split("127.0.0.1:5432", ":")
    ip := strs[0]
    port := strs[1]
    fmt.Println(ip, port)
}

Here is the definition for strings.Split

// Split slices s into all substrings separated by sep and returns a slice of
// the substrings between those separators.
//
// If s does not contain sep and sep is not empty, Split returns a
// slice of length 1 whose only element is s.
//
// If sep is empty, Split splits after each UTF-8 sequence. If both s
// and sep are empty, Split returns an empty slice.
//
// It is equivalent to SplitN with a count of -1.
func Split(s, sep string) []string { return genSplit(s, sep, 0, -1) }

Test or check if sheet exists

Compact wsExists function (without reliance on Error Handling!)

Here's a short & simple function that doesn't rely on error handling to determine whether a worksheet exists (and is properly declared to work in any situation!)

Function wsExists(wsName As String) As Boolean
    Dim ws: For Each ws In Sheets
    wsExists = (wsName = ws.Name): If wsExists Then Exit Function
    Next ws
End Function

Example Usage:

The following example adds a new worksheet named myNewSheet, if it doesn't already exist:

If Not wsExists("myNewSheet") Then Sheets.Add.Name = "myNewSheet"

Generate an HTML Response in a Java Servlet

You normally forward the request to a JSP for display. JSP is a view technology which provides a template to write plain vanilla HTML/CSS/JS in and provides ability to interact with backend Java code/variables with help of taglibs and EL. You can control the page flow with taglibs like JSTL. You can set any backend data as an attribute in any of the request, session or application scope and use EL (the ${} things) in JSP to access/display them. You can put JSP files in /WEB-INF folder to prevent users from directly accessing them without invoking the preprocessing servlet.

Kickoff example:

@WebServlet("/hello")
public class HelloWorldServlet extends HttpServlet {

    @Override
    protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
        String message = "Hello World";
        request.setAttribute("message", message); // This will be available as ${message}
        request.getRequestDispatcher("/WEB-INF/hello.jsp").forward(request, response);
    }

}

And /WEB-INF/hello.jsp look like:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <title>SO question 2370960</title>
    </head>
    <body>
         <p>Message: ${message}</p>
    </body>
</html>

When opening http://localhost:8080/contextpath/hello this will show

Message: Hello World

in the browser.

This keeps the Java code free from HTML clutter and greatly improves maintainability. To learn and practice more with servlets, continue with below links.

How to split string using delimiter char using T-SQL?

For your specific data, you can use

Select col1, col2, LTRIM(RTRIM(SUBSTRING(
    STUFF(col3, CHARINDEX('|', col3,
    PATINDEX('%|Client Name =%', col3) + 14), 1000, ''),
    PATINDEX('%|Client Name =%', col3) + 14, 1000))) col3
from Table01

EDIT - charindex vs patindex

Test

select col3='Clent ID = 4356hy|Client Name = B B BOB|Client Phone = 667-444-2626|Client Fax = 666-666-0151|Info = INF8888877 -MAC333330554/444400800'
into t1m
from master..spt_values a
cross join master..spt_values b
where a.number < 100
-- (711704 row(s) affected)

set statistics time on

dbcc dropcleanbuffers
dbcc freeproccache
select a=CHARINDEX('|Client Name =', col3) into #tmp1 from t1m
drop table #tmp1

dbcc dropcleanbuffers
dbcc freeproccache
select a=PATINDEX('%|Client Name =%', col3) into #tmp2 from t1m
drop table #tmp2

set statistics time off

Timings

CHARINDEX:

 SQL Server Execution Times (1):
   CPU time = 5656 ms,  elapsed time = 6418 ms.
 SQL Server Execution Times (2):
   CPU time = 5813 ms,  elapsed time = 6114 ms.
 SQL Server Execution Times (3):
   CPU time = 5672 ms,  elapsed time = 6108 ms.

PATINDEX:

 SQL Server Execution Times (1):
   CPU time = 5906 ms,  elapsed time = 6296 ms.
 SQL Server Execution Times (2):
   CPU time = 5860 ms,  elapsed time = 6404 ms.
 SQL Server Execution Times (3):
   CPU time = 6109 ms,  elapsed time = 6301 ms.

Conclusion

The timings for CharIndex and PatIndex for 700k calls are within 3.5% of each other, so I don't think it would matter whichever is used. I use them interchangeably when both can work.

How line ending conversions work with git core.autocrlf between different operating systems

No, the @jmlane answer is wrong.

For Checkin (git add, git commit):

  1. if text property is Set, Set value to 'auto', the conversion happens enen the file has been committed with 'CRLF'
  2. if text property is Unset:nothing happens, enen for Checkout
  3. if text property is Unspecified, conversion depends on core.autocrlf
    1. if autocrlf = input or autocrlf = true, the conversion only happens when the file in the repository is 'LF', if it has been 'CRLF', nothing will happens.
    2. if autocrlf = false, nothing happens

For Checkout:

  1. if text property is Unset: nothing happens.
  2. if text property is Set, Set value to 'auto: it depends on core.autocrlf, core.eol.
    1. core.autocrlf = input : nothing happens
    2. core.autocrlf = true : the conversion only happens when the file in the repository is 'LF', 'LF' -> 'CRLF'
    3. core.autocrlf = false : the conversion only happens when the file in the repository is 'LF', 'LF' -> core.eol
  3. if text property is Unspecified, it depends on core.autocrlf.
    1. the same as 2.1
    2. the same as 2.2
    3. None, nothing happens, core.eol is not effective when text property is Unspecified

Default behavior

So the Default behavior is text property is Unspecified and core.autocrlf = false:

  1. for checkin, nothing happens
  2. for checkout, nothing happens

Conclusions

  1. if text property is set, checkin behavior is depends on itself, not on autocrlf
  2. autocrlf or core.eol is for checkout behavior, and autocrlf > core.eol

In android how to set navigation drawer header image and name programmatically in class file?

It's and old post, but it's new for me. So, it is straight forward! In this part of the code:

 public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(MenuItem item) {

} , I bound an ImageView to the LinearLayout, which contains the ImageView from the example, listed below. Mind: it's the same code you get when you start a new project, and choose the template "Navigation Drawer Activity":

<ImageView
android:id="@+id/imageView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/nav_header_vertical_spacing"
android:src="@android:drawable/sym_def_app_icon" />

I gave the LinearLayout and ID, inside nav_header_main.xml (in my case I chose 'navigation_header_container' , so it went this way:

LinearLayout lV = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.navigation_header_container);

    ivCloseDrawer = (ImageView) lV.findViewById(R.id.imageView);
    ivCloseDrawer.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
    {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v)
        {
            drawer.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
        }
    });

Note: I have a private ImageView ivCloseDrawer declared at the top, before onCreate (MainActivity).

It worked fine! Hope it helps, Best Regards.

Why can't Python parse this JSON data?

There are two types in this parsing.

  1. Parsing data from a file from a system path
  2. Parsing JSON from remote URL.

From a file, you can use the following

import json
json = json.loads(open('/path/to/file.json').read())
value = json['key']
print json['value']

This arcticle explains the full parsing and getting values using two scenarios.Parsing JSON using Python

     "print_401275"  using 1:2 title "Flow 5", \
     "print_401276"  using 1:2 title "Flow 6"

The error arises because gnuplot is trying to interpret the word "plot" as the filename to plot, but you haven't assigned any strings to a variable named "plot" (which is good – that would be super confusing).

How to modify a specified commit?

If you haven't already pushed the commits then you can go back to a previous commit using git reset HEAD^[1,2,3,4...]

For example

git commit <file1> -m "Updated files 1 and 2"
git commit <file3> -m "Updated file 3"

Oops, forgot to add file2 to the first commit...

git reset HEAD^1 // because I only need to go back 1 commit

git add <file2>

This will add file2 to the first commit.
