Programs & Examples On #Elixir

Elixir is an open-source, dynamic, compiled, general purpose functional programming language. It was designed to be fully compatible with the Erlang platform and is well suited to writing fault-tolerant, distributed applications with soft real-time guarantees and the ability for hot-code-swapping.

Regular Expression for password validation

Thanks Nicholas Carey. I was going to use regex first but what you wrote changed my mind. It is so much easier to maintain this way.

//You can set these from your custom service methods
int minLen = 8;
int minDigit 2;
int minSpChar 2;

Boolean ErrorFlag = false;
//Check for password length
if (model.NewPassword.Length < minLen)
{
    ErrorFlag = true;
    ModelState.AddModelError("NewPassword", "Password must be at least " + minLen + " characters long.");
}

//Check for Digits and Special Characters
int digitCount = 0;
int splCharCount = 0;
foreach (char c in model.NewPassword)
{
    if (char.IsDigit(c)) digitCount++;
    if (Regex.IsMatch(c.ToString(), @"[!#$%&'()*+,-.:;<=>?@[\\\]{}^_`|~]")) splCharCount++;
}

if (digitCount < minDigit)
{
    ErrorFlag = true;
    ModelState.AddModelError("NewPassword", "Password must have at least " + minDigit + " digit(s).");
}
if (splCharCount < minSpChar)
{
    ErrorFlag = true;
    ModelState.AddModelError("NewPassword", "Password must have at least " + minSpChar + " special character(s).");
}

if (ErrorFlag)
    return View(model);

const char* concatenation

You can use strstream. It's formally deprecated, but it's still a great tool if you need to work with C strings, i think.

char result[100]; // max size 100
std::ostrstream s(result, sizeof result - 1);

s << one << two << std::ends;
result[99] = '\0';

This will write one and then two into the stream, and append a terminating \0 using std::ends. In case both strings could end up writing exactly 99 characters - so no space would be left writing \0 - we write one manually at the last position.

How to extract .war files in java? ZIP vs JAR

You can use a turn-around and just deploy the application into tomcat server: just copy/paste under the webapps folder. Once tomcat is started, it will create a folder with the app name and you can access the contents directly

Oracle SQL Developer: Failure - Test failed: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection?

its work fine.

Is there a way to remove unused imports and declarations from Angular 2+?

To be able to detect unused imports, code or variables, make sure you have this options in tsconfig.json file

"compilerOptions": {
    "noUnusedLocals": true,
    "noUnusedParameters": true
}

have the typescript compiler installed, ifnot install it with:

npm install -g typescript

and the tslint extension installed in Vcode, this worked for me, but after enabling I notice an increase amount of CPU usage, specially on big projects.

I would also recomend using typescript hero extension for organizing your imports.

Different CURRENT_TIMESTAMP and SYSDATE in oracle

  • SYSDATE provides date and time of a server.
  • CURRENT_DATE provides date and time of client.(i.e., your system)
  • CURRENT_TIMESTAMP provides data and timestamp of a clinet.

How do you configure an OpenFileDialog to select folders?

Try this one from Codeproject (credit to Nitron):

I think it's the same dialog you're talking about - maybe it would help if you add a screenshot?

bool GetFolder(std::string& folderpath, const char* szCaption=NULL, HWND hOwner=NULL)
{
    bool retVal = false;

    // The BROWSEINFO struct tells the shell how it should display the dialog.
    BROWSEINFO bi;
    memset(&bi, 0, sizeof(bi));

    bi.ulFlags   = BIF_USENEWUI;
    bi.hwndOwner = hOwner;
    bi.lpszTitle = szCaption;

    // must call this if using BIF_USENEWUI
    ::OleInitialize(NULL);

    // Show the dialog and get the itemIDList for the selected folder.
    LPITEMIDLIST pIDL = ::SHBrowseForFolder(&bi);

    if(pIDL != NULL)
    {
        // Create a buffer to store the path, then get the path.
        char buffer[_MAX_PATH] = {'\0'};
        if(::SHGetPathFromIDList(pIDL, buffer) != 0)
        {
            // Set the string value.
            folderpath = buffer;
            retVal = true;
        }       

        // free the item id list
        CoTaskMemFree(pIDL);
    }

    ::OleUninitialize();

    return retVal;
}

How to get Locale from its String representation in Java?

Method that returns locale from string exists in commons-lang library: LocaleUtils.toLocale(localeAsString)

Typescript: How to extend two classes?

There are so many good answers here already, but i just want to show with an example that you can add additional functionality to the class being extended;

function applyMixins(derivedCtor: any, baseCtors: any[]) {
    baseCtors.forEach(baseCtor => {
        Object.getOwnPropertyNames(baseCtor.prototype).forEach(name => {
            if (name !== 'constructor') {
                derivedCtor.prototype[name] = baseCtor.prototype[name];
            }
        });
    });
}

class Class1 {
    doWork() {
        console.log('Working');
    }
}

class Class2 {
    sleep() {
        console.log('Sleeping');
    }
}

class FatClass implements Class1, Class2 {
    doWork: () => void = () => { };
    sleep: () => void = () => { };


    x: number = 23;
    private _z: number = 80;

    get z(): number {
        return this._z;
    }

    set z(newZ) {
        this._z = newZ;
    }

    saySomething(y: string) {
        console.log(`Just saying ${y}...`);
    }
}
applyMixins(FatClass, [Class1, Class2]);


let fatClass = new FatClass();

fatClass.doWork();
fatClass.saySomething("nothing");
console.log(fatClass.x);

How to trigger a build only if changes happen on particular set of files

I answered this question in another post:

How to get list of changed files since last build in Jenkins/Hudson

#!/bin/bash

set -e

job_name="whatever"
JOB_URL="http://myserver:8080/job/${job_name}/"
FILTER_PATH="path/to/folder/to/monitor"

python_func="import json, sys
obj = json.loads(sys.stdin.read())
ch_list = obj['changeSet']['items']
_list = [ j['affectedPaths'] for j in ch_list ]
for outer in _list:
  for inner in outer:
    print inner
"

_affected_files=`curl --silent ${JOB_URL}${BUILD_NUMBER}'/api/json' | python -c "$python_func"`

if [ -z "`echo \"$_affected_files\" | grep \"${FILTER_PATH}\"`" ]; then
  echo "[INFO] no changes detected in ${FILTER_PATH}"
  exit 0
else
  echo "[INFO] changed files detected: "
  for a_file in `echo "$_affected_files" | grep "${FILTER_PATH}"`; do
    echo "    $a_file"
  done;
fi;

You can add the check directly to the top of the job's exec shell, and it will exit 0 if no changes are detected... Hence, you can always poll the top level for check-in's to trigger a build.

Excel - programm cells to change colour based on another cell

Use conditional formatting.

You can enter a condition using any cell you like and a format to apply if the formula is true.

How to use a calculated column to calculate another column in the same view

You could use a nested query:

Select
  ColumnA,
  ColumnB,
  calccolumn1,
  calccolumn1 / ColumnC as calccolumn2
From (
  Select
    ColumnA,
    ColumnB,
    ColumnC,
    ColumnA + ColumnB As calccolumn1
  from t42
);

With a row with values 3, 4, 5 that gives:

   COLUMNA    COLUMNB CALCCOLUMN1 CALCCOLUMN2
---------- ---------- ----------- -----------
         3          4           7         1.4

You can also just repeat the first calculation, unless it's really doing something expensive (via a function call, say):

Select
  ColumnA,
  ColumnB,
  ColumnA + ColumnB As calccolumn1,
  (ColumnA + ColumnB) / ColumnC As calccolumn2
from t42; 

   COLUMNA    COLUMNB CALCCOLUMN1 CALCCOLUMN2
---------- ---------- ----------- -----------
         3          4           7         1.4 

gcc: undefined reference to

Are you mixing C and C++? One issue that can occur is that the declarations in the .h file for a .c file need to be surrounded by:

#if defined(__cplusplus)
  extern "C" {                 // Make sure we have C-declarations in C++ programs
#endif

and:

#if defined(__cplusplus)
  }
#endif

Note: if unable / unwilling to modify the .h file(s) in question, you can surround their inclusion with extern "C":

extern "C" {
#include <abc.h>
} //extern

Joining 2 SQL SELECT result sets into one

Use a FULL OUTER JOIN:

select 
   a.col_a,
   a.col_b,
   b.col_c
from
   (select col_a,col_bfrom tab1) a
join 
   (select col_a,col_cfrom tab2) b 
on a.col_a= b.col_a

Printing newlines with print() in R

An alternative to cat() is writeLines():

> writeLines("File not supplied.\nUsage: ./program F=filename")
File not supplied.
Usage: ./program F=filename
>

An advantage is that you don't have to remember to append a "\n" to the string passed to cat() to get a newline after your message. E.g. compare the above to the same cat() output:

> cat("File not supplied.\nUsage: ./program F=filename")
File not supplied.
Usage: ./program F=filename>

and

> cat("File not supplied.\nUsage: ./program F=filename","\n")
File not supplied.
Usage: ./program F=filename
>

The reason print() doesn't do what you want is that print() shows you a version of the object from the R level - in this case it is a character string. You need to use other functions like cat() and writeLines() to display the string. I say "a version" because precision may be reduced in printed numerics, and the printed object may be augmented with extra information, for example.

Replace CRLF using powershell

This is a state-of-the-union answer as of Windows PowerShell v5.1 / PowerShell Core v6.2.0:

  • Andrew Savinykh's ill-fated answer, despite being the accepted one, is, as of this writing, fundamentally flawed (I do hope it gets fixed - there's enough information in the comments - and in the edit history - to do so).

  • Ansgar Wiecher's helpful answer works well, but requires direct use of the .NET Framework (and reads the entire file into memory, though that could be changed). Direct use of the .NET Framework is not a problem per se, but is harder to master for novices and hard to remember in general.

  • A future version of PowerShell Core will have a
    Convert-TextFile cmdlet with a -LineEnding parameter to allow in-place updating of text files with a specific newline style, as being discussed on GitHub.

In PSv5+, PowerShell-native solutions are now possible, because Set-Content now supports the -NoNewline switch, which prevents undesired appending of a platform-native newline[1] :

# Convert CRLFs to LFs only.
# Note:
#  * (...) around Get-Content ensures that $file is read *in full*
#    up front, so that it is possible to write back the transformed content
#    to the same file.
#  * + "`n" ensures that the file has a *trailing LF*, which Unix platforms
#     expect.
((Get-Content $file) -join "`n") + "`n" | Set-Content -NoNewline $file

The above relies on Get-Content's ability to read a text file that uses any combination of CR-only, CRLF, and LF-only newlines line by line.

Caveats:

  • You need to specify the output encoding to match the input file's in order to recreate it with the same encoding. The command above does NOT specify an output encoding; to do so, use -Encoding; without -Encoding:

    • In Windows PowerShell, you'll get "ANSI" encoding, your system's single-byte, 8-bit legacy encoding, such as Windows-1252 on US-English systems.
    • In PowerShell Core, you'll get UTF-8 encoding without a BOM.
  • The input file's content as well as its transformed copy must fit into memory as a whole, which can be problematic with large input files.

  • There's a risk of file corruption, if the process of writing back to the input file gets interrupted.


[1] In fact, if there are multiple strings to write, -NoNewline also doesn't place a newline between them; in the case at hand, however, this is irrelevant, because only one string is written.

Make index.html default, but allow index.php to be visited if typed in

Hi,

Well, I have tried the methods mentioned above! it's working yes, but not exactly the way I wanted. I wanted to redirect the default page extension to the main domain with our further action.

Here how I do that...

# Accesible Index Page
<IfModule dir_module>
 DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
 RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index\.(html|htm|php|php3|php5|shtml|phtml) [NC]
 RewriteRule ^index\.html|htm|php|php3|php5|shtml|phtml$ / [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

The above code simply captures any index.* and redirect it to the main domain.

Thank you

operator << must take exactly one argument

I ran into this problem with templated classes. Here's a more general solution I had to use:

template class <T>
class myClass
{
    int myField;

    // Helper function accessing my fields
    void toString(std::ostream&) const;

    // Friend means operator<< can use private variables
    // It needs to be declared as a template, but T is taken
    template <class U>
    friend std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream&, const myClass<U> &);
}

// Operator is a non-member and global, so it's not myClass<U>::operator<<()
// Because of how C++ implements templates the function must be
// fully declared in the header for the linker to resolve it :(
template <class U>
std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& os, const myClass<U> & obj)
{
  obj.toString(os);
  return os;
}

Now: * My toString() function can't be inline if it is going to be tucked away in cpp. * You're stuck with some code in the header, I couldn't get rid of it. * The operator will call the toString() method, it's not inlined.

The body of operator<< can be declared in the friend clause or outside the class. Both options are ugly. :(

Maybe I'm misunderstanding or missing something, but just forward-declaring the operator template doesn't link in gcc.

This works too:

template class <T>
class myClass
{
    int myField;

    // Helper function accessing my fields
    void toString(std::ostream&) const;

    // For some reason this requires using T, and not U as above
    friend std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream&, const myClass<T> &)
    {
        obj.toString(os);
        return os;
    }
}

I think you can also avoid the templating issues forcing declarations in headers, if you use a parent class that is not templated to implement operator<<, and use a virtual toString() method.

Move to another EditText when Soft Keyboard Next is clicked on Android

Inside Edittext just arrange like this

    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:imeOptions="actionNext" //now its going to rightside/next field automatically

What is the difference between decodeURIComponent and decodeURI?

js> s = "http://www.example.com/string with + and ? and & and spaces";
http://www.example.com/string with + and ? and & and spaces
js> encodeURI(s)
http://www.example.com/string%20with%20+%20and%20?%20and%20&%20and%20spaces
js> encodeURIComponent(s)
http%3A%2F%2Fwww.example.com%2Fstring%20with%20%2B%20and%20%3F%20and%20%26%20and%20spaces

Looks like encodeURI produces a "safe" URI by encoding spaces and some other (e.g. nonprintable) characters, whereas encodeURIComponent additionally encodes the colon and slash and plus characters, and is meant to be used in query strings. The encoding of + and ? and & is of particular importance here, as these are special chars in query strings.

use Lodash to sort array of object by value

You can use lodash sortBy (https://lodash.com/docs/4.17.4#sortBy).

Your code could be like:

const myArray = [  
   {  
      "id":25,
      "name":"Anakin Skywalker",
      "createdAt":"2017-04-12T12:48:55.000Z",
      "updatedAt":"2017-04-12T12:48:55.000Z"
   },
   {  
      "id":1,
      "name":"Luke Skywalker",
      "createdAt":"2017-04-12T11:25:03.000Z",
      "updatedAt":"2017-04-12T11:25:03.000Z"
   }
]

const myOrderedArray = _.sortBy(myArray, o => o.name)

Change NULL values in Datetime format to empty string

If date is NULL then display ' ' (BLANK) else display the date.

How to include a font .ttf using CSS?

Only providing .ttf file for webfont won't be good enough for cross-browser support. The best possible combination at present is using the combination as :

@font-face {
  font-family: 'MyWebFont';
  src: url('webfont.eot'); /* IE9 Compat Modes */
  src: url('webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), /* IE6-IE8 */
       url('webfont.woff') format('woff'), /* Modern Browsers */
       url('webfont.ttf')  format('truetype'), /* Safari, Android, iOS */
       url('webfont.svg#svgFontName') format('svg'); /* Legacy iOS */
}

This code assumes you have .eot , .woff , .ttf and svg format for you webfont. To automate all this process , you can use : Transfonter.org.

Also , modern browsers are shifting towards .woff font , so you can probably do this too : :

@font-face {
  font-family: 'MyWebFont';
  src: url('myfont.woff') format('woff'), /* Chrome 6+, Firefox 3.6+, IE 9+, Safari 5.1+ */
   url('myfont.ttf') format('truetype'); /* Chrome 4+, Firefox 3.5, Opera 10+, Safari 3—5 */
}

Why am I getting a FileNotFoundError?

If the user does not pass the full path to the file (on Unix type systems this means a path that starts with a slash), the path is interpreted relatively to the current working directory. The current working directory usually is the directory in which you started the program. In your case, the file test.rtf must be in the same directory in which you execute the program.

You are obviously performing programming tasks in Python under Mac OS. There, I recommend to work in the terminal (on the command line), i.e. start the terminal, cd to the directory where your input file is located and start the Python script there using the command

$ python script.py

In order to make this work, the directory containing the python executable must be in the PATH, a so-called environment variable that contains directories that are automatically used for searching executables when you enter a command. You should make use of this, because it simplifies daily work greatly. That way, you can simply cd to the directory containing your Python script file and run it.

In any case, if your Python script file and your data input file are not in the same directory, you always have to specify either a relative path between them or you have to use an absolute path for one of them.

SQL Column definition : default value and not null redundant?

My SQL teacher said that if you specify both a DEFAULT value and NOT NULLor NULL, DEFAULT should always be expressed before NOT NULL or NULL.

How can one run multiple versions of PHP 5.x on a development LAMP server?

With CentOS, you can do it using a combination of fastcgi for one version of PHP, and php-fpm for the other, as described here:

https://web.archive.org/web/20130707085630/http://linuxplayer.org/2011/05/intall-multiple-version-of-php-on-one-server

Based on CentOS 5.6, for Apache only

1. Enable rpmforge and epel yum repository

wget http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm
wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/x86_64/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
sudo rpm -ivh rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm
sudo rpm -ivh epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm

2. Install php-5.1

CentOS/RHEL 5.x series have php-5.1 in box, simply install it with yum, eg:

sudo yum install php php-mysql php-mbstring php-mcrypt

3. Compile and install php 5.2 and 5.3 from source

For php 5.2 and 5.3, we can find many rpm packages on the Internet. However, they all conflict with the php which comes with CentOS, so, we’d better build and install them from soure, this is not difficult, the point is to install php at different location.

However, when install php as an apache module, we can only use one version of php at the same time. If we need to run different version of php on the same server, at the same time, for example, different virtual host may need different version of php. Fortunately, the cool FastCGI and PHP-FPM can help.

Build and install php-5.2 with fastcgi enabled

1) Install required dev packages

yum install gcc libxml2-devel bzip2-devel zlib-devel \
    curl-devel libmcrypt-devel libjpeg-devel \
    libpng-devel gd-devel mysql-devel

2) Compile and install

wget http://cn.php.net/get/php-5.2.17.tar.bz2/from/this/mirror
tar -xjf php-5.2.17.tar.bz2
cd php-5.2.17

sudo chmod a+x /etc/init.d/php-fpm
sudo /sbin/chkconfig --add php-fpm
sudo /sbin/chkconfig php-fpm on

sudo cp sapi/fpm/php-fpm.conf /etc/php53/

Configue php-fpm

Edit /etc/php53/php-fpm.conf, change some settings. This step is mainly to uncomment some settings, you can adjust the value if you like.

pid = run/php-fpm.pid
listen = 127.0.0.1:9000
pm.start_servers = 10
pm.min_spare_servers = 5
pm.max_spare_servers = 20

Then, start fpm

sudo /etc/init.d/php-fpm start

Install and setup mod_fastcgi, mod_fcgid

sudo yum install libtool httpd-devel apr-devel
wget http://www.fastcgi.com/dist/mod_fastcgi-current.tar.gz
tar -xzf mod_fastcgi-current.tar.gz
cd mod_fastcgi-2.4.6
cp Makefile.AP2 Makefile
sudo make top_dir=/usr/lib64/httpd/ install
sudo sh -c "echo 'LoadModule fastcgi_module modules/mod_fastcgi.so' > /etc/httpd/conf.d/mod_fastcgi.conf"
yum install mod_fcgid

Setup and test virtual hosts

1) Add the following line to /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 web1.example.com web2.example.com web3.example.com

2) Create web document root and drop an index.php under it to show phpinfo switch to user root, run

mkdir /var/www/fcgi-bin
for i in {1..3}; do
    web_root=/var/www/web$i
    mkdir $web_root
    echo "<?php phpinfo(); ?>" > $web_root/index.php
done

Note: The empty /var/www/fcgi-bin directory is required, DO NOT REMOVE IT LATER

3) Create Apache config file(append to httpd.conf)

NameVirtualHost *:80

How to detect online/offline event cross-browser?

Here is my solution.

Tested with IE, Opera, Chrome, FireFox, Safari, as Phonegap WebApp on IOS 8 and as Phonegap WebApp on Android 4.4.2

This solution isn't working with FireFox on localhost.

Why can't I change my input value in React even with the onChange listener

You can do shortcut via inline function if you want to simply change the state variable without declaring a new function at top:

<input type="text" onChange={e => this.setState({ text: e.target.value })}/>

javax.persistence.PersistenceException: No Persistence provider for EntityManager named customerManager

I had the same problem today. My persistence.xml was in the wrong location. I had to put it in the following path:

project/src/main/resources/META-INF/persistence.xml

COALESCE with Hive SQL

Hive supports bigint literal since 0.8 version. So, additional "L" is enough:

COALESCE(column, 0L)

"android.view.WindowManager$BadTokenException: Unable to add window" on buider.show()

with this globals variables idea, I saved MainActivity instance in onCreate(); Android global variable

public class ApplicationController extends Application {

    public static MainActivity this_MainActivity;
}

and Open dialog like this. it worked.

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    // Global Var
    globals = (ApplicationController) this.getApplication();
    globals.this_MainActivity = this;
}

and in a thread, I open dialog like this.

AlertDialog.Builder alert = new AlertDialog.Builder(globals.this_MainActivity);
  1. Open MainActivity
  2. Start a thread.
  3. Open dialog from thread -> work.
  4. Click "Back button" ( onCreate will be called and remove first MainActivity)
  5. New MainActivity will start. ( and save it's instance to globals )
  6. Open dialog from first thread --> it will open and work.

Sending an Intent to browser to open specific URL

From XML

In case if you have the web-address/URL displayed on your view and you want it to make it clikable and direct user to particular website You can use:

android:autoLink="web"

In same way you can use different attributes of autoLink(email, phone, map, all) to accomplish your task...

Dealing with timestamps in R

You want the (standard) POSIXt type from base R that can be had in 'compact form' as a POSIXct (which is essentially a double representing fractional seconds since the epoch) or as long form in POSIXlt (which contains sub-elements). The cool thing is that arithmetic etc are defined on this -- see help(DateTimeClasses)

Quick example:

R> now <- Sys.time()
R> now
[1] "2009-12-25 18:39:11 CST"
R> as.numeric(now)
[1] 1.262e+09
R> now + 10  # adds 10 seconds
[1] "2009-12-25 18:39:21 CST"
R> as.POSIXlt(now)
[1] "2009-12-25 18:39:11 CST"
R> str(as.POSIXlt(now))
 POSIXlt[1:9], format: "2009-12-25 18:39:11"
R> unclass(as.POSIXlt(now))
$sec
[1] 11.79

$min
[1] 39

$hour
[1] 18

$mday
[1] 25

$mon
[1] 11

$year
[1] 109

$wday
[1] 5

$yday
[1] 358

$isdst
[1] 0

attr(,"tzone")
[1] "America/Chicago" "CST"             "CDT"            
R> 

As for reading them in, see help(strptime)

As for difference, easy too:

R> Jan1 <- strptime("2009-01-01 00:00:00", "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
R> difftime(now, Jan1, unit="week")
Time difference of 51.25 weeks
R> 

Lastly, the zoo package is an extremely versatile and well-documented container for matrix with associated date/time indices.

Failed to load resource 404 (Not Found) - file location error?

Looks like the path you gave doesn't have any bootstrap files in them.

href="~/lib/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css"

Make sure the files exist over there , else point the files to the correct path, which should be in your case

href="~/node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css"

Vagrant error : Failed to mount folders in Linux guest

by now the mounting works on some machines (ubuntu) and some doesn't (centos 7) but installing the plugin solves it

without having to do anything else on top of that, just

vagrant reload

How can I detect Internet Explorer (IE) and Microsoft Edge using JavaScript?

For me better this:

var uA = window.navigator.userAgent,
    onlyIEorEdge = /msie\s|trident\/|edge\//i.test(uA) && !!( document.uniqueID || window.MSInputMethodContext),
    checkVersion = (onlyIEorEdge && +(/(edge\/|rv:|msie\s)([\d.]+)/i.exec(uA)[2])) || NaN;

Android Studio is slow (how to speed up)?

Tips to make android studio fast:

Enable Offline Work:

  1. Click File -> Settings. Search for "gradle" and click in Offline work box.
  2. Go to Compiler (in same settings dialog just below Gradle) and add --offline to Command-line Options text box.

Improve Gradle Performance

gradle can be optimized too. The easy way is to modify the settings in global gradle.properties (create it if not exists in the following folders: Windows - C:\users\your_name\.gradle\; Linux- /home/<username>/.gradle/; Mac- /Users/<username>/.gradle/; ) and in that file, add these two lines:

org.gradle.daemon=true
org.gradle.parallel=true

How do I change a PictureBox's image?

If you have an image imported as a resource in your project there is also this:

picPreview.Image = Properties.Resources.ImageName;

Where picPreview is the name of the picture box and ImageName is the name of the file you want to display.

*Resources are located by going to: Project --> Properties --> Resources

How is TeamViewer so fast?

A bit late answer, but I suggest you have a look at a not well known project on codeplex called ConferenceXP

ConferenceXP is an open source research platform that provides simple, flexible, and extensible conferencing and collaboration using high-bandwidth networks and the advanced multimedia capabilities of Microsoft Windows. ConferenceXP helps researchers and educators develop innovative applications and solutions that feature broadcast-quality audio and video in support of real-time distributed collaboration and distance learning environments.

Full source (it's huge!) is provided. It implements the RTP protocol.

Visual Studio 2012 Web Publish doesn't copy files

Follow these steps to resolve:

Build > Publish > Profile > New

Create a new profile and configure it with the same settings as your existing profile.

The project will now publish correctly. This often occurs as a result of a source-controlled publish profile from another machine that was created in a newer version of Visual Studio.

How to add noise (Gaussian/salt and pepper etc) to image in Python with OpenCV

The Function adds gaussian , salt-pepper , poisson and speckle noise in an image

Parameters
----------
image : ndarray
    Input image data. Will be converted to float.
mode : str
    One of the following strings, selecting the type of noise to add:

    'gauss'     Gaussian-distributed additive noise.
    'poisson'   Poisson-distributed noise generated from the data.
    's&p'       Replaces random pixels with 0 or 1.
    'speckle'   Multiplicative noise using out = image + n*image,where
                n is uniform noise with specified mean & variance.


import numpy as np
import os
import cv2
def noisy(noise_typ,image):
   if noise_typ == "gauss":
      row,col,ch= image.shape
      mean = 0
      var = 0.1
      sigma = var**0.5
      gauss = np.random.normal(mean,sigma,(row,col,ch))
      gauss = gauss.reshape(row,col,ch)
      noisy = image + gauss
      return noisy
   elif noise_typ == "s&p":
      row,col,ch = image.shape
      s_vs_p = 0.5
      amount = 0.004
      out = np.copy(image)
      # Salt mode
      num_salt = np.ceil(amount * image.size * s_vs_p)
      coords = [np.random.randint(0, i - 1, int(num_salt))
              for i in image.shape]
      out[coords] = 1

      # Pepper mode
      num_pepper = np.ceil(amount* image.size * (1. - s_vs_p))
      coords = [np.random.randint(0, i - 1, int(num_pepper))
              for i in image.shape]
      out[coords] = 0
      return out
  elif noise_typ == "poisson":
      vals = len(np.unique(image))
      vals = 2 ** np.ceil(np.log2(vals))
      noisy = np.random.poisson(image * vals) / float(vals)
      return noisy
  elif noise_typ =="speckle":
      row,col,ch = image.shape
      gauss = np.random.randn(row,col,ch)
      gauss = gauss.reshape(row,col,ch)        
      noisy = image + image * gauss
      return noisy

returning a Void object

There is no generic type which will tell the compiler that a method returns nothing.

I believe the convention is to use Object when inheriting as a type parameter

OR

Propagate the type parameter up and then let users of your class instantiate using Object and assigning the object to a variable typed using a type-wildcard ?:

interface B<E>{ E method(); }

class A<T> implements B<T>{

    public T method(){
        // do something
        return null;
    }
}

A<?> a = new A<Object>();

Calculating Distance between two Latitude and Longitude GeoCoordinates

Calculating Distance between Latitude and Longitude points...

        double Lat1 = Convert.ToDouble(latitude);
        double Long1 = Convert.ToDouble(longitude);

        double Lat2 = 30.678;
        double Long2 = 45.786;
        double circumference = 40000.0; // Earth's circumference at the equator in km
        double distance = 0.0;
        double latitude1Rad = DegreesToRadians(Lat1);
        double latititude2Rad = DegreesToRadians(Lat2);
        double longitude1Rad = DegreesToRadians(Long1);
        double longitude2Rad = DegreesToRadians(Long2);
        double logitudeDiff = Math.Abs(longitude1Rad - longitude2Rad);
        if (logitudeDiff > Math.PI)
        {
            logitudeDiff = 2.0 * Math.PI - logitudeDiff;
        }
        double angleCalculation =
            Math.Acos(
              Math.Sin(latititude2Rad) * Math.Sin(latitude1Rad) +
              Math.Cos(latititude2Rad) * Math.Cos(latitude1Rad) * Math.Cos(logitudeDiff));
        distance = circumference * angleCalculation / (2.0 * Math.PI);
        return distance;

Getting a timestamp for today at midnight?

$midnight = strtotime('midnight'); is valid
You can also try out strtotime('12am') or strtotime('[input any time you wish to here. e.g noon, 6pm, 3pm, 8pm, etc]'). I skipped adding today before midnight because the default is today.

javascript if number greater than number

You're comparing strings. JavaScript compares the ASCII code for each character of the string.

To see why you get false, look at the charCodes:

"1300".charCodeAt(0);
49
"999".charCodeAt(0);
57

The comparison is false because, when comparing the strings, the character codes for 1 is not greater than that of 9.

The fix is to treat the strings as numbers. You can use a number of methods:

parseInt(string, radix)
parseInt("1300", 10);
> 1300 - notice the lack of quotes


+"1300"
> 1300


Number("1300")
> 1300

Can't perform a React state update on an unmounted component

Functional component approach (Minimal Demo, Full Demo):

export default function TestComponent(props) {
  const [text, setText] = useState("");

  useAsyncEffect(
    function* () {

Calling a Javascript Function from Console

If it's inside a closure, i'm pretty sure you can't.

Otherwise you just do functionName(); and hit return.

How can I upload fresh code at github?

1 ) git clone repository
ask for user name and password.
2) got to respositiory directory.
3) git add project name.
4) git commit -m ' messgage '.
5) git push origin master.
- user name ,password

Update new Change code into Github

->Goto Directory That your github up code
->git commit ProjectName -m 'Message'
->git push origin master.

@viewChild not working - cannot read property nativeElement of undefined

Sometimes, this error occurs when you're trying to target an element that is wrapped in a condition, for example: <div *ngIf="canShow"> <p #target>Targeted Element</p></div>

In this code, if canShow is false on render, Angular won't be able to get that element as it won't be rendered, hence the error that comes up.

One of the solutions is to use a display: hidden on the element instead of the *ngIf so the element gets rendered but is hidden until your condition is fulfilled.

What value could I insert into a bit type column?

If you're using SQL Server, you can set the value of bit fields with 0 and 1

or

'true' and 'false' (yes, using strings)

...your_bit_field='false'... => equivalent to 0

CASE .. WHEN expression in Oracle SQL

SELECT
  STATUS,
  CASE
    WHEN STATUS IN('a1','a2','a3') 
     THEN 'Active'
    WHEN STATUS = 'i' 
     THEN 'Inactive'
    WHEN STATUS = 't'
     THEN 'Terminated'  ELSE null
  END AS STATUSTEXT

Getting the object's property name

To get the property of the object or the "array key" or "array index" depending on what your native language is..... Use the Object.keys() method.

Important, this is only compatible with "Modern browsers":

So if your object is called, myObject...

var c = 0;
for(c in myObject) {
    console.log(Object.keys(myObject[c]));
}

Walla! This will definitely work in the latest firefox and ie11 and chrome...

Here is some documentation at MDN https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Object/keys

Why is it not advisable to have the database and web server on the same machine?

It depends on the application and the purpose. When high availability and performance is not critical, it's not bad to not to separate the DB and web server. Especially considering the performance gains - if the appliation makes a large amount of database queries, a considerable amount of network load can be removed by keeping it all on the same system, keeping the response times low.

How do I use $rootScope in Angular to store variables?

If it is just "access in other controller" then you can use angular constants for that, the benefit is; you can add some global settings or other things that you want to access throughout application

app.constant(‘appGlobals’, {
    defaultTemplatePath: '/assets/html/template/',
    appName: 'My Awesome App'
});

and then access it like:

app.controller(‘SomeController’, [‘appGlobals’, function SomeController(config) {
    console.log(appGlobals);
    console.log(‘default path’, appGlobals.defaultTemplatePath);
}]);

(didn't test)

iPad WebApp Full Screen in Safari

Looks like most of the answers on this thread have not kept up. iOS Safari on iPads have fullscreen support now and it's very easy to implement using javascript.

Here's my full article on how to implement fullscreen capability on your web app.

How to remove duplicates from a list?

Two suggestions:

  • Use a HashSet instead of an ArrayList. This will speed up the contains() checks considerably if you have a long list

  • Make sure Customer.equals() and Customer.hashCode() are implemented properly, i.e. they should be based on the combined values of the underlying fields in the customer object.

What is the official "preferred" way to install pip and virtualenv systemwide?

There is no preferred method - everything depends on your needs. Often you need to have different Python interpreters on the system for whatever reason. In this case you need to install the stuff individually for each interpreter. Apart from that: I prefer installing stuff myself instead of depending of pre-packaged stuff sometimes causing issues - but that's only one possible opionion.

JPA: JOIN in JPQL

Join on one-to-many relation in JPQL looks as follows:

select b.fname, b.lname from Users b JOIN b.groups c where c.groupName = :groupName 

When several properties are specified in select clause, result is returned as Object[]:

Object[] temp = (Object[]) em.createNamedQuery("...")
    .setParameter("groupName", groupName)
    .getSingleResult(); 
String fname = (String) temp[0];
String lname = (String) temp[1];

By the way, why your entities are named in plural form, it's confusing. If you want to have table names in plural, you may use @Table to specify the table name for the entity explicitly, so it doesn't interfere with reserved words:

@Entity @Table(name = "Users")     
public class User implements Serializable { ... } 

Resize on div element

DIV does not fire a resize event, so you won't be able to do exactly what you've coded, but you could look into monitoring DOM properties.

If you are actually working with something like resizables, and that is the only way for a div to change in size, then your resize plugin will probably be implementing a callback of its own.

SQL Server 2008 Connection Error "No process is on the other end of the pipe"

perhaps this comes too late, but still it could be nice to "document it" for others out there.

I received the same error after experimenting and testing with Remote Desktop Services on a MS Server 2012 with MS SQL Server 2012.

During the Remote Desktop Services install one is asked to create a (local) certificate, and so I did. After finishing the test/experiments I removed the Remote Desktop Services. That's when this error appeared (I cannot say whether the error occured during the test with RDS, I don't remember if I used/tried the SQL Connection during the RDS test).

I am not sure how to solve this since the default certificate does not work for me, but the "RDS" certificate does.

BTW, the certificates are found in App: "SQL Server Configuration Manager" -> "SQL Server Network Configuration" -> Right click: "Protocols for " -> Select "Properties" -> Tab "Certificate"

My default SQL Certificate is named: ConfigMgr SQL Server Identification Certificate, has expiration date: 2114-06-09.

Hope this can give a hint to others.

Hash string in c#

The fastest way, to get a hash string for password store purposes, is a following code:

    internal static string GetStringSha256Hash(string text)
    {
        if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(text))
            return String.Empty;

        using (var sha = new System.Security.Cryptography.SHA256Managed())
        {
            byte[] textData = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(text);
            byte[] hash = sha.ComputeHash(textData);
            return BitConverter.ToString(hash).Replace("-", String.Empty);
        }
    }

Remarks:

  • if the method is invoked often, the creation of sha variable should be refactored into a class field;
  • output is presented as encoded hex string;

How to make <a href=""> link look like a button?

Yes you can do that.

Here is an example:

a{
    background:IMAGE-URL;
    display:block;
    height:IMAGE-HEIGHT;
    width:IMAGE-WIDTH;
}

Of course you can modify the above example to your need. The important thing is to make it appear as a block (display:block) or an inline block (display:inline-block).

Pipe subprocess standard output to a variable

To get the output of ls, use stdout=subprocess.PIPE.

>>> proc = subprocess.Popen('ls', stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
>>> output = proc.stdout.read()
>>> print output
bar
baz
foo

The command cdrecord --help outputs to stderr, so you need to pipe that indstead. You should also break up the command into a list of tokens as I've done below, or the alternative is to pass the shell=True argument but this fires up a fully-blown shell which can be dangerous if you don't control the contents of the command string.

>>> proc = subprocess.Popen(['cdrecord', '--help'], stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
>>> output = proc.stderr.read()
>>> print output
Usage: wodim [options] track1...trackn
Options:
    -version    print version information and exit
    dev=target  SCSI target to use as CD/DVD-Recorder
    gracetime=# set the grace time before starting to write to #.
...

If you have a command that outputs to both stdout and stderr and you want to merge them, you can do that by piping stderr to stdout and then catching stdout.

subprocess.Popen(cmd, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.STDOUT)

As mentioned by Chris Morgan, you should be using proc.communicate() instead of proc.read().

>>> proc = subprocess.Popen(['cdrecord', '--help'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
>>> out, err = proc.communicate()
>>> print 'stdout:', out
stdout: 
>>> print 'stderr:', err
stderr:Usage: wodim [options] track1...trackn
Options:
    -version    print version information and exit
    dev=target  SCSI target to use as CD/DVD-Recorder
    gracetime=# set the grace time before starting to write to #.
...

Combine two or more columns in a dataframe into a new column with a new name

We can use paste0:

df$combField <- paste0(df$x, df$y)

If you do not want any padding space introduced in the concatenated field. This is more useful if you are planning to use the combined field as a unique id that represents combinations of two fields.

Root element is missing

  1. Check the trees.config file which located in config folder... sometimes (I don't know why) this file became to be empty like someone delete the content inside... keep backup up of this file in your local pc then when this error appear - replace the server file with your local file. This is what i do when this error happened.

  2. check the available space on the server. sometimes this is the problem.

Good luck.

Which comment style should I use in batch files?

This answer attempts a pragmatic summary of the many great answers on this page:

jeb's great answer deserves special mention, because it really goes in-depth and covers many edge cases.
Notably, he points out that a misconstructed variable/parameter reference such as %~ can break any of the solutions below - including REM lines.


Whole-line comments - the only directly supported style:

  • REM (or case variations thereof) is the only official comment construct, and is the safest choice - see Joey's helpful answer.

  • :: is a (widely used) hack, which has pros and cons:

    • Pros:

    • Cons:

      • Inside (...) blocks, :: can break the command, and the rules for safe use are restrictive and not easy to remember - see below.

If you do want to use ::, you have these choices:

  • Either: To be safe, make an exception inside (...) blocks and use REM there, or do not place comments inside (...) altogether.
  • Or: Memorize the painfully restrictive rules for safe use of :: inside (...), which are summarized in the following snippet:
@echo off

for %%i in ("dummy loop") do (

  :: This works: ONE comment line only, followed by a DIFFERENT, NONBLANK line.
  date /t

  REM If you followed a :: line directly with another one, the *2nd* one
  REM would generate a spurious "The system cannot find the drive specified."
  REM error message and potentially execute commands inside the comment.
  REM In the following - commented-out - example, file "out.txt" would be
  REM created (as an empty file), and the ECHO command would execute.
  REM   :: 1st line
  REM   :: 2nd line > out.txt & echo HERE

  REM NOTE: If :: were used in the 2 cases explained below, the FOR statement
  REM would *break altogether*, reporting:
  REM  1st case: "The syntax of the command is incorrect."
  REM  2nd case: ") was unexpected at this time."

  REM Because the next line is *blank*, :: would NOT work here.

  REM Because this is the *last line* in the block, :: would NOT work here.
)

Emulation of other comment styles - inline and multi-line:

Note that none of these styles are directly supported by the batch language, but can be emulated.


Inline comments:

* The code snippets below use ver as a stand-in for an arbitrary command, so as to facilitate experimentation.
* To make SET commands work correctly with inline comments, double-quote the name=value part; e.g., SET "foo=bar".[1]

In this context we can distinguish two subtypes:

  • EOL comments ([to-the-]end-of-line), which can be placed after a command, and invariably extend to the end of the line (again, courtesy of jeb's answer):

    • ver & REM <comment> takes advantage of the fact that REM is a valid command and & can be used to place an additional command after an existing one.
    • ver & :: <comment> works too, but is really only usable outside of (...) blocks, because its safe use there is even more limited than using :: standalone.
  • Intra-line comments, which be placed between multiple commands on a line or ideally even inside of a given command.
    Intra-line comments are the most flexible (single-line) form and can by definition also be used as EOL comments.

    • ver & REM^. ^<comment^> & ver allows inserting a comment between commands (again, courtesy of jeb's answer), but note how < and > needed to be ^-escaped, because the following chars. cannot be used as-is: < > | (whereas unescaped & or && or || start the next command).

    • %= <comment> =%, as detailed in dbenham's great answer, is the most flexible form, because it can be placed inside a command (among the arguments).
      It takes advantage of variable-expansion syntax in a way that ensures that the expression always expands to the empty string - as long as the comment text contains neither % nor :
      Like REM, %= <comment> =% works well both outside and inside (...) blocks, but it is more visually distinctive; the only down-sides are that it is harder to type, easier to get wrong syntactically, and not widely known, which can hinder understanding of source code that uses the technique.


Multi-line (whole-line block) comments:

  • James K's answer shows how to use a goto statement and a label to delimit a multi-line comment of arbitrary length and content (which in his case he uses to store usage information).

  • Zee's answer shows how to use a "null label" to create a multi-line comment, although care must be taken to terminate all interior lines with ^.

  • Rob van der Woude's blog post mentions another somewhat obscure option that allows you to end a file with an arbitrary number of comment lines: An opening ( only causes everything that comes after to be ignored, as long as it doesn't contain a ( non-^-escaped) ), i.e., as long as the block is not closed.


[1] Using SET "foo=bar" to define variables - i.e., putting double quotes around the name and = and the value combined - is necessary in commands such as SET "foo=bar" & REM Set foo to bar., so as to ensure that what follows the intended variable value (up to the next command, in this case a single space) doesn't accidentally become part of it.
(As an aside: SET foo="bar" would not only not avoid the problem, it would make the double quotes part of the value).
Note that this problem is inherent to SET and even applies to accidental trailing whitespace following the value, so it is advisable to always use the SET "foo=bar" approach.

Convert xlsx to csv in Linux with command line

Setting up MySQL and importing dump within Dockerfile

Each RUN instruction in a Dockerfile is executed in a different layer (as explained in the documentation of RUN).

In your Dockerfile, you have three RUN instructions. The problem is that MySQL server is only started in the first. In the others, no MySQL are running, that is why you get your connection error with mysql client.

To solve this problem you have 2 solutions.

Solution 1: use a one-line RUN

RUN /bin/bash -c "/usr/bin/mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &" && \
  sleep 5 && \
  mysql -u root -e "CREATE DATABASE mydb" && \
  mysql -u root mydb < /tmp/dump.sql

Solution 2: use a script

Create an executable script init_db.sh:

#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &
sleep 5
mysql -u root -e "CREATE DATABASE mydb"
mysql -u root mydb < /tmp/dump.sql

Add these lines to your Dockerfile:

ADD init_db.sh /tmp/init_db.sh
RUN /tmp/init_db.sh

Maven error: Not authorized, ReasonPhrase:Unauthorized

The problem here was a typo error in the password used, which was not easily identified due to the characters / letters used in the password.

TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for -: 'str' and 'int'

For future reference Python is strongly typed. Unlike other dynamic languages, it will not automagically cast objects from one type or the other (say from str to int) so you must do this yourself. You'll like that in the long-run, trust me!

How do I run Selenium in Xvfb?

How do multiple clients connect simultaneously to one port, say 80, on a server?

Multiple clients can connect to the same port (say 80) on the server because on the server side, after creating a socket and binding (setting local IP and port) listen is called on the socket which tells the OS to accept incoming connections.

When a client tries to connect to server on port 80, the accept call is invoked on the server socket. This creates a new socket for the client trying to connect and similarly new sockets will be created for subsequent clients using same port 80.

Words in italics are system calls.

Does PHP have threading?

Here is an example of what Wilco suggested:

$cmd = 'nohup nice -n 10 /usr/bin/php -c /path/to/php.ini -f /path/to/php/file.php action=generate var1_id=23 var2_id=35 gen_id=535 > /path/to/log/file.log & echo $!';
$pid = shell_exec($cmd);

Basically this executes the PHP script at the command line, but immediately returns the PID and then runs in the background. (The echo $! ensures nothing else is returned other than the PID.) This allows your PHP script to continue or quit if you want. When I have used this, I have redirected the user to another page, where every 5 to 60 seconds an AJAX call is made to check if the report is still running. (I have a table to store the gen_id and the user it's related to.) The check script runs the following:

exec('ps ' . $pid , $processState);
if (count($processState) < 2) {
     // less than 2 rows in the ps, therefore report is complete
}

There is a short post on this technique here: http://nsaunders.wordpress.com/2007/01/12/running-a-background-process-in-php/

PHP Include for HTML?

Here is the step by step process to include php code in html file ( Tested )

If PHP is working there is only one step left to use PHP scripts in files with *.html or *.htm extensions as well. The magic word is ".htaccess". Please see the Wikipedia definition of .htaccess to learn more about it. According to Wikipedia it is "a directory-level configuration file that allows for decentralized management of web server configuration."

You can probably use such a .htaccess configuration file for your purpose. In our case you want the webserver to parse HTML files like PHP files.

First, create a blank text file and name it ".htaccess". You might ask yourself why the file name starts with a dot. On Unix-like systems this means it is a dot-file is a hidden file. (Note: If your operating system does not allow file names starting with a dot just name the file "xyz.htaccess" temporarily. As soon as you have uploaded it to your webserver in a later step you can rename the file online to ".htaccess") Next, open the file with a simple text editor like the "Editor" in MS Windows. Paste the following line into the file: AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm If this does not work, please remove the line above from your file and paste this alternative line into it, for PHP5: AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .html .htm Now upload the .htaccess file to the root directory of your webserver. Make sure that the name of the file is ".htaccess". Your webserver should now parse *.htm and *.html files like PHP files.

You can try if it works by creating a HTML-File like the following. Name it "php-in-html-test.htm", paste the following code into it and upload it to the root directory of your webserver:

    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
     <HTML>
 <HEAD>
 <TITLE>Use PHP in HTML files</TITLE>
 </HEAD>

   <BODY>
    <h1>
    <?php echo "It works!"; ?>
    </h1>
  </BODY>
 </HTML>

Try to open the file in your browser by typing in: http://www.your-domain.com/php-in-html-test.htm (once again, please replace your-domain.com by your own domain...) If your browser shows the phrase "It works!" everything works fine and you can use PHP in .*html and *.htm files from now on. However, if not, please try to use the alternative line in the .htaccess file as we showed above. If is still does not work please contact your hosting provider.

Codesign wants to access key "access" in your keychain, I put in my login password but keeps asking me

Just click on the certificate in the keychain access and change the access permission if you want to avoid entering password at all, else select Always allow and it will prompt probably 4-5 times and it will be done.

ASP.NET Web Site or ASP.NET Web Application?

It depends on what you are developing.

A content-oriented website will have its content changing frequently and a Website is better for that.

An application tends to have its data stored in a database and its pages and code change rarely. In this case it's better to have a Web application where deployment of assemblies is much more controlled and has better support for unit testing.

Spring not autowiring in unit tests with JUnit

You need to add annotations to the Junit class, telling it to use the SpringJunitRunner. The ones you want are:

@ContextConfiguration("/test-context.xml")
@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)

This tells Junit to use the test-context.xml file in same directory as your test. This file should be similar to the real context.xml you're using for spring, but pointing to test resources, naturally.

I think I got it. I have to use org.w3c.dom.Element explicitly. I had a different Element field too.

jQuery: load txt file and insert into div

The .load("file.txt") is much easier. Which works but even if testing, you won't get results from a localdrive, you'll need an actual http server. The invisible error is an XMLHttpRequest error.

How can I center <ul> <li> into div

To center a block object (e.g. the ul) you need to set a width on it and then you can set that objects left and right margins to auto.

To center the inline content of block object (e.g. the inline content of li) you can set the css property text-align: center;.

Changing the default title of confirm() in JavaScript?

YES YOU CAN do it!! It's a little tricky way ; ) (it almost works on ios)

var iframe = document.createElement("IFRAME");
iframe.setAttribute("src", 'data:text/plain,');
document.documentElement.appendChild(iframe);
if(window.frames[0].window.confirm("Are you sure?")){
    // what to do if answer "YES"
}else{
    // what to do if answer "NO"
}

replace \n and \r\n with <br /> in java

It works for me.

public class Program
{
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String str = "This is a string.\nThis is a long string.";
        str = str.replaceAll("(\r\n|\n)", "<br />");
        System.out.println(str);
    }
}

Result:

This is a string.<br />This is a long string.

VBA Object doesn't support this property or method

Object doesn't support this property or method.

Think of it like if anything after the dot is called on an object. It's like a chain.

An object is a class instance. A class instance supports some properties defined in that class type definition. It exposes whatever intelli-sense in VBE tells you (there are some hidden members but it's not related to this). So after each dot . you get intelli-sense (that white dropdown) trying to help you pick the correct action.

(you can start either way - front to back or back to front, once you understand how this works you'll be able to identify where the problem occurs)

Type this much anywhere in your code area

Dim a As Worksheets
a.

you get help from VBE, it's a little dropdown called Intelli-sense

enter image description here

It lists all available actions that particular object exposes to any user. You can't see the .Selection member of the Worksheets() class. That's what the error tells you exactly.

Object doesn't support this property or method.

If you look at the example on MSDN

Worksheets("GRA").Activate
iAreaCount = Selection.Areas.Count

It activates the sheet first then calls the Selection... it's not connected together because Selection is not a member of Worksheets() class. Simply, you can't prefix the Selection

What about

Sub DisplayColumnCount()
    Dim iAreaCount As Integer
    Dim i As Integer

    Worksheets("GRA").Activate
    iAreaCount = Selection.Areas.Count

    If iAreaCount <= 1 Then
        MsgBox "The selection contains " & Selection.Columns.Count & " columns."
    Else
        For i = 1 To iAreaCount
        MsgBox "Area " & i & " of the selection contains " & _
        Selection.Areas(i).Columns.Count & " columns."
        Next i
    End If
End Sub

How to compare character ignoring case in primitive types

Generic methods to compare a char at a position between 2 strings with ignore case.

public static boolean isEqualIngoreCase(char one, char two){
    return Character.toLowerCase(one)==Character .toLowerCase(two);
}

public static boolean isEqualStringCharIgnoreCase(String one, String two, int position){
    char oneChar = one.charAt(position);
    char twoChar = two.charAt(position);
    return isEqualIngoreCase(oneChar, twoChar);
}

Function call

boolean isFirstCharEqual = isEqualStringCharIgnoreCase("abc", "ABC", 0)

Equals(=) vs. LIKE

One difference - apart from the possibility to use wildcards with LIKE - is in trailing spaces: The = operator ignores trailing space, but LIKE does not.

Insert variable values in the middle of a string

I would use a StringBuilder class for doing string manipulation as it will more efficient (being mutable)

string flights = "Flight A, B,C,D";
StringBuilder message = new StringBuilder();
message.Append("Hi We have these flights for you: ");
message.Append(flights);
message.Append(" . Which one do you want?");

Reset Windows Activation/Remove license key

  1. Open a command prompt as an Administrator.

  2. Enter slmgr /upk and wait for this to complete. This will uninstall the current product key from Windows and put it into an unlicensed state.

  3. Enter slmgr /cpky and wait for this to complete. This will remove the product key from the registry if it's still there.

  4. Enter slmgr /rearm and wait for this to complete. This is to reset the Windows activation timers so the new users will be prompted to activate Windows when they put in the key.

This should put the system back to a pre-key state.

Hope this helps you out!

Setting a JPA timestamp column to be generated by the database?

I realize this is a bit late, but I've had success with annotating a timestamp column with

@Column(name="timestamp", columnDefinition="TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP")

This should also work with CURRENT_DATE and CURRENT_TIME. I'm using JPA/Hibernate with Oracle, so YMMV.

SQL Server Insert Example

I hope this will help you

insert into users (id,first_name,last_name) values(1,'Abhishek','Anand');

Query to select data between two dates with the format m/d/yyyy

you have to split the datetime and then store it with your desired format like dd/MM/yyyy. then you can use this query with between but i have objection using this becasue it will search every single data on your database,so i suggest you can use datediff.

        Dim start = txtstartdate.Text.Trim()
        Dim endday = txtenddate.Text.Trim()
        Dim arr()
        arr = Split(start, "/")
        Dim dt As New DateTime
        dt = New Date(Val(arr(2).ToString), Val(arr(1).ToString), Val(arr(0).ToString))
        Dim arry()
        arry = Split(endday, "/")
        Dim dt2 As New DateTime
        dt2 = New Date(Val(arry(2).ToString), Val(arry(1).ToString), Val(arry(0).ToString))

        qry = "SELECT * FROM [calender] WHERE datediff(day,'" & dt & "',[date])>=0 and datediff(day,'" & dt2 & "',[date])<=0 "

here i have used dd/MM/yyyy format.

CS0234: Mvc does not exist in the System.Web namespace

I had the same problem and I had solved it with:

1.Right click to solution and click 'Clean Solution'

2.Click 'References' folder in solution explorer and select the problem reference (in your case it seems System.Web.Mvc) and then right click and click 'Properties'.

3.In the properties window, make sure that the 'Copy Local' property is set to 'True'

This worked for me. Hope it works for someone else

Helpful Note: As it has mentioned in comments by @Vlad:

If it is already set to True:

  1. Set it False
  2. Set it True again
  3. Rebuild

How do I pass an object to HttpClient.PostAsync and serialize as a JSON body?

You need to pass your data in the request body as a raw string rather than FormUrlEncodedContent. One way to do so is to serialize it into a JSON string:

var json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(data); // or JsonSerializer.Serialize if using System.Text.Json

Now all you need to do is pass the string to the post method.

var stringContent = new StringContent(json, UnicodeEncoding.UTF8, "application/json"); // use MediaTypeNames.Application.Json in Core 3.0+ and Standard 2.1+

var client = new HttpClient();
var response = await client.PostAsync(uri, stringContent);

How to export SQL Server database to MySQL?

I had some data I had to get from mssql into mysql, had difficulty finding a solution. So what I did in the end (a bit of a long winded way to do it, but as a last resort it works) was:

  • Open the mssql database in sql server management studio express (I used 2005)
  • Open each table in turn and
  • Click the top left corner box to select whole table:

  • Copy data to clipboard (ctrl + v)

  • Open ms excel
  • Paste data from clipboard
  • Save excel file as .csv
  • Repeat the above for each table
  • You should now be able to import the data into mysql

Hope this helps

jQuery Ajax requests are getting cancelled without being sent

I had a similar issue. Using chrome://net-internals/#events I was able to see that my issue was due to some silent redirect. My get request was being fired in an onload script. The url was of the form, "http://example.com/inner-path" and the 301 was permanently redirecting to "/inner-path". To fix the issue I just changed the url to "/inner-path" and that fixed the issue. I still don't know why a script that worked a week ago was suddenly giving me issue... Hope this helps someone

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '?' in helpers.php 233

If I had to guess, I'd say you installed the PPA 7.1.8 as CLI only (php7-cli). You're getting your version info from that, but your libapache2-mod-php package is still 14.04 main which is 5.6. Check your phpinfo in your browser to confirm the version. You might also consider migrating to Ubuntu 16.04 to get PHP 7.0 in main.

SQL Server SELECT INTO @variable?

It looks like your syntax is slightly out. This has some good examples

SELECT 
    CustomerId, 
    FirstName, 
    LastName,

FROM 
    Customer
WHERE 
    CustomerId = @CustomerId

Then later

SELECT CustomerId FROM @TempCustomer

How to upgrade docker-compose to latest version

If you tried sudo apt-get remove docker-compose and get E: Unable to locate package docker-compose, try this method :

This command must return a result, in order to check it is installed here :

ls -l /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

Remove the old version :

sudo rm -rf docker-compose

Download the last version (check official repo : docker/compose/releases) :

sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.24.0/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

(replace 1.24.0 if needed)

Finally, apply executable permissions to the binary:

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

Check version :

docker-compose -v

How can I dynamically add a directive in AngularJS?

You have a lot of pointless jQuery in there, but the $compile service is actually super simple in this case:

.directive( 'test', function ( $compile ) {
  return {
    restrict: 'E',
    scope: { text: '@' },
    template: '<p ng-click="add()">{{text}}</p>',
    controller: function ( $scope, $element ) {
      $scope.add = function () {
        var el = $compile( "<test text='n'></test>" )( $scope );
        $element.parent().append( el );
      };
    }
  };
});

You'll notice I refactored your directive too in order to follow some best practices. Let me know if you have questions about any of those.

Is it possible to change a UIButtons background color?

Another possibility:

  1. Create a UIButton in Interface builder.
  2. Give it a type 'Custom'
  3. Now, in IB it is possible to change the background color

However, the button is square, and that is not what we want. Create an IBOutlet with a reference to this button and add the following to the viewDidLoad method:

[buttonOutlet.layer setCornerRadius:7.0f];
[buttonOutlet.layer setClipToBounds:YES];

Don't forget to import QuartzCore.h

Display string as html in asp.net mvc view

I had a similar problem with HTML input fields in MVC. The web paged only showed the first keyword of the field. Example: input field: "The quick brown fox" Displayed value: "The"

UndefinedMetricWarning: F-score is ill-defined and being set to 0.0 in labels with no predicted samples

According to @Shovalt's answer, but in short:

Alternatively you could use the following lines of code

    from sklearn.metrics import f1_score
    metrics.f1_score(y_test, y_pred, labels=np.unique(y_pred))

This should remove your warning and give you the result you wanted, because it no longer considers the difference between the sets, by using the unique mode.

Lightweight workflow engine for Java

This really depends on your requirements. First, see if you really need a workflow engine (this or other sources). Unless you really need it, probably you should avoid it.

If you really need what provides a workflow engine, I would pick one that is already built. People who works with jbpm or activiti have much more experience than you in building workflow engines, so it is probably already tunned to improve performance.

How to find sitemap.xml path on websites?

According to protocol documentation there are at least three options website designers can use to inform sitemap.xml location to search engines:

  • Informing each search engine of the location through their provided interface
  • Adding url to the robots.txt file
  • Submiting url to search engines through http

So, unless they have chosen to publish the sitemap location on their robots.txt file, you cannot really know where they have put their sitemap.xml files.

tempItem1 = (TreeViewItem)tempItem.Items.GetItemAt(0);      // Selecting the first child of the first first level node
SelectedCategoryHeaderString = tempItem.Header.ToString();  // gets the header for the first top level node
SelectedCategoryHeaderString = tempItem1.Header.ToString(); // gets the header for the first child node of the first top level node
tempItem.IsExpanded = true;         //  will expand the first node

Function for C++ struct

Yes, a struct is identical to a class except for the default access level (member-wise and inheritance-wise). (and the extra meaning class carries when used with a template)

Every functionality supported by a class is consequently supported by a struct. You'd use methods the same as you'd use them for a class.

struct foo {
  int bar;
  foo() : bar(3) {}   //look, a constructor
  int getBar() 
  { 
    return bar; 
  }
};

foo f;
int y = f.getBar(); // y is 3

Is there a method for String conversion to Title Case?

This is the simplest solution

    static void title(String a,String b){
    String ra = Character.toString(Character.toUpperCase(a.charAt(0)));
    String rb = Character.toString(Character.toUpperCase(b.charAt(0)));
    for(int i=1;i<a.length();i++){
        ra+=a.charAt(i);
    }
    for(int i=1;i<b.length();i++){
        rb+=b.charAt(i);
    }
    System.out.println(ra+" "+rb);

Why do you create a View in a database?

Views can be a godsend when when doing reporting on legacy databases. In particular, you can use sensical table names instead of cryptic 5 letter names (where 2 of those are a common prefix!), or column names full of abbreviations that I'm sure made sense at the time.

How to run a shell script at startup

Just have a line added to your crontab..

Make sure the file is executable:

chmod +x /path_to_you_file/your_file

To edit crontab file:

crontab -e

Line you have to add:

@reboot  /path_to_you_file/your_file

That simple!

C# DateTime.ParseExact

Your format string is wrong. Change it to

insert = DateTime.ParseExact(line[i], "M/d/yyyy hh:mm", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

Difference between a class and a module

Basically, the module cannot be instantiated. When a class includes a module, a proxy superclass is generated that provides access to all the module methods as well as the class methods.

A module can be included by multiple classes. Modules cannot be inherited, but this "mixin" model provides a useful type of "multiple inheritrance". OO purists will disagree with that statement, but don't let purity get in the way of getting the job done.

Regular expression to stop at first match

You need to make your regular expression non-greedy, because by default, "(.*)" will match all of "file path/level1/level2" xxx some="xxx".

Instead you can make your dot-star non-greedy, which will make it match as few characters as possible:

/location="(.*?)"/

Adding a ? on a quantifier (?, * or +) makes it non-greedy.

Python conversion between coordinates

If you can't find it in numpy or scipy, here are a couple of quick functions and a point class:

import math

def rect(r, theta):
    """theta in degrees

    returns tuple; (float, float); (x,y)
    """
    x = r * math.cos(math.radians(theta))
    y = r * math.sin(math.radians(theta))
    return x,y

def polar(x, y):
    """returns r, theta(degrees)
    """
    r = (x ** 2 + y ** 2) ** .5
    theta = math.degrees(math.atan2(y,x))
    return r, theta

class Point(object):

Laravel migration default value

You can simple put the default value using default(). See the example

 $table->enum('is_approved', array('0','1'))->default('0');

I have used enum here and the default value is 0.

Check if string ends with certain pattern

Of course you can use the StringTokenizer class to split the String with '.' or '/', and check if the last word is "work".

iOS: Multi-line UILabel in Auto Layout

Source: http://www.objc.io/issue-3/advanced-auto-layout-toolbox.html

Intrinsic Content Size of Multi-Line Text

The intrinsic content size of UILabel and NSTextField is ambiguous for multi-line text. The height of the text depends on the width of the lines, which is yet to be determined when solving the constraints. In order to solve this problem, both classes have a new property called preferredMaxLayoutWidth, which specifies the maximum line width for calculating the intrinsic content size.

Since we usually don’t know this value in advance, we need to take a two-step approach to get this right. First we let Auto Layout do its work, and then we use the resulting frame in the layout pass to update the preferred maximum width and trigger layout again.

- (void)layoutSubviews
{
    [super layoutSubviews];
    myLabel.preferredMaxLayoutWidth = myLabel.frame.size.width;
    [super layoutSubviews];
}

The first call to [super layoutSubviews] is necessary for the label to get its frame set, while the second call is necessary to update the layout after the change. If we omit the second call we get a NSInternalInconsistencyException error, because we’ve made changes in the layout pass which require updating the constraints, but we didn’t trigger layout again.

We can also do this in a label subclass itself:

@implementation MyLabel
- (void)layoutSubviews
{
    self.preferredMaxLayoutWidth = self.frame.size.width;
    [super layoutSubviews];
}
@end

In this case, we don’t need to call [super layoutSubviews] first, because when layoutSubviews gets called, we already have a frame on the label itself.

To make this adjustment from the view controller level, we hook into viewDidLayoutSubviews. At this point the frames of the first Auto Layout pass are already set and we can use them to set the preferred maximum width.

- (void)viewDidLayoutSubviews
{
    [super viewDidLayoutSubviews];
    myLabel.preferredMaxLayoutWidth = myLabel.frame.size.width;
    [self.view layoutIfNeeded];
}

Lastly, make sure that you don’t have an explicit height constraint on the label that has a higher priority than the label’s content compression resistance priority. Otherwise it will trump the calculated height of the content. Make sure to check all the constraints that can affect label's height.

Can I set background image and opacity in the same property?

I came across this post as I had the same issue then I thought why mess about with css, adjusting values and hitting refresh when you can easily adjust the opacity in Photoshop? Copy the image, paste it as a new layer then move the opacity slider.

Replace Line Breaks in a String C#

If your code is supposed to run in different environments, I would consider using the Environment.NewLine constant, since it is specifically the newline used in the specific environment.

line = line.Replace(Environment.NewLine, "newLineReplacement");

However, if you get the text from a file originating on another system, this might not be the correct answer, and you should replace with whatever newline constant is used on the other system. It will typically be \n or \r\n.

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

For example summer :

lblSummer.foreColor = color.Yellow;

TypeError: 'bool' object is not callable

Actually you can fix it with following steps -

  1. Do cls.__dict__
  2. This will give you dictionary format output which will contain {'isFilled':True} or {'isFilled':False} depending upon what you have set.
  3. Delete this entry - del cls.__dict__['isFilled']
  4. You will be able to call the method now.

In this case, we delete the entry which overrides the method as mentioned by BrenBarn.

How to Get True Size of MySQL Database?

None of the answers include the overhead size and the metadata sizes of tables.

Here is a more accurate estimation of the "disk space" allocated by a database.

SELECT ROUND((SUM(data_length+index_length+data_free) + (COUNT(*) * 300 * 1024))/1048576+150, 2) AS MegaBytes FROM information_schema.TABLES WHERE table_schema = 'DATABASE-NAME'

Why are static variables considered evil?

Static variables are not good nor evil. They represent attributes that describe the whole class and not a particular instance. If you need to have a counter for all the instances of a certain class, a static variable would be the right place to hold the value.

Problems appear when you try to use static variables for holding instance related values.

Calculating powers of integers

Well you can simply use Math.pow(a,b) as you have used earlier and just convert its value by using (int) before it. Below could be used as an example to it.

int x = (int) Math.pow(a,b);

where a and b could be double or int values as you want. This will simply convert its output to an integer value as you required.

How do I add PHP code/file to HTML(.html) files?

In order to use php in .html files, you must associate them with your PHP processor in your HTTP server's config file. In Apache, that looks like this:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .html

Parenthesis/Brackets Matching using Stack algorithm

Brackets Matching program without using stack

Here i used string for replacement of stack implementations like push and pop operations.

`package java_prac; import java.util.*; public class BracketsChecker {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("- - - Brackets Checker [ without stack ] - - -\n\n");

        System.out.print("Input : " );
        String s = scan.nextLine();
        scan.close();
        System.out.println("\n...working...\n");
        String o="([{";
        String c=")]}";
        String x=" ";
        int check =0;
        for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++) {
            if(o.contains(String.valueOf(s.charAt(i)))){

How do I exit a while loop in Java?

You can use "break" to break the loop, which will not allow the loop to process more conditions

Synchronous Requests in Node.js

You can use retus to make cross-platform synchronous HTTP requests:

That's it!

Get MIME type from filename extension

Most of the solutions are working but why take so efforts while we also can get mime type very easily. In System.Web assembly, there is method for getting the mime type from file name. eg:

string mimeType = MimeMapping.GetMimeMapping(filename);

Create view with primary key?

You cannot create a primary key on a view. In SQL Server you can create an index on a view but that is different to creating a primary key.

If you give us more information as to why you want a key on your view, perhaps we can help with that.

How to upload file to server with HTTP POST multipart/form-data?

I've been playing around a little bit and came up with a simplified, more generic solution:

private static string sendHttpRequest(string url, NameValueCollection values, NameValueCollection files = null)
{
    string boundary = "----------------------------" + DateTime.Now.Ticks.ToString("x");
    // The first boundary
    byte[] boundaryBytes = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("\r\n--" + boundary + "\r\n");
    // The last boundary
    byte[] trailer = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("\r\n--" + boundary + "--\r\n");
    // The first time it itereates, we need to make sure it doesn't put too many new paragraphs down or it completely messes up poor webbrick
    byte[] boundaryBytesF = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("--" + boundary + "\r\n");

    // Create the request and set parameters
    HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest) WebRequest.Create(url);
    request.ContentType = "multipart/form-data; boundary=" + boundary;
    request.Method = "POST";
    request.KeepAlive = true;
    request.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

    // Get request stream
    Stream requestStream = request.GetRequestStream();

    foreach (string key in values.Keys)
    {
        // Write item to stream
        byte[] formItemBytes = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(string.Format("Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"{0}\";\r\n\r\n{1}", key, values[key]));
        requestStream.Write(boundaryBytes, 0, boundaryBytes.Length);
        requestStream.Write(formItemBytes, 0, formItemBytes.Length);
    }

    if (files != null)
    { 
        foreach(string key in files.Keys)
        {
            if(File.Exists(files[key]))
            {
                int bytesRead = 0;
                byte[] buffer = new byte[2048];
                byte[] formItemBytes = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(string.Format("Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"{0}\"; filename=\"{1}\"\r\nContent-Type: application/octet-stream\r\n\r\n", key, files[key]));
                requestStream.Write(boundaryBytes, 0, boundaryBytes.Length);
                requestStream.Write(formItemBytes, 0, formItemBytes.Length);

                using (FileStream fileStream = new FileStream(files[key], FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
                {
                    while ((bytesRead = fileStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) != 0)
                    {
                        // Write file content to stream, byte by byte
                        requestStream.Write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
                    }

                    fileStream.Close();
                }
            }
        }
    }

    // Write trailer and close stream
    requestStream.Write(trailer, 0, trailer.Length);
    requestStream.Close();

    using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(request.GetResponse().GetResponseStream()))
    {
        return reader.ReadToEnd();
    };
}

You can use it like this:

string fileLocation = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments) + Path.DirectorySeparatorChar + "somefile.jpg";
NameValueCollection values = new NameValueCollection();
NameValueCollection files = new NameValueCollection();
values.Add("firstName", "Alan");
files.Add("profilePicture", fileLocation);
sendHttpRequest("http://example.com/handler.php", values, files);

And in the PHP script you could handle data like this:

echo $_POST['firstName'];
$name = $_POST['firstName'];
$image = $_FILES['profilePicture'];
$ds = DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;
move_uploaded_file($image['tmp_name'], realpath(dirname(__FILE__)) . $ds . "uploads" . $ds . $image['name']);

Put spacing between divs in a horizontal row?

Put all the divs in a individual table cells and set the table style to padding: 5px;.

Error: «Could not load type MvcApplication»

I've seen this many times over the last decade and just had it again. There are many problems that result in the same error.

One cause is a renaming of files. If you're working with .cshtml files, check all namespaces within those files and within the Views\web.config file. For web forms, rename Default.aspx (related .cs and designer files are automatically renamed). The codebehind changes but the Inherits line in the markup doesn't. Change it manually. Double check the designer page. Sometimes (VS2005-8?) the designer page doesn't reflect a change in the namespace. Haven't seen this in 2010+.

Another issue is when it all works in VS or on your local PC but not when you deploy. This could be because the deployment environment isn't structured the same. For example, the error occurs if you place your code in a virtual directory under an application folder, but it doesn't occur if you create a new application folder and place all of your files in there. I don't understand this one, as I've had the new child/virtual folder set with the same permissions (or so I think) and (I believe) the application pool should work the same for everything in a given application folder.

In my case I've also had a bin folder with assemblies that are updated from other assemblies on the IIS server. Again, ensuring that these are run in a separate application folder resulted in success.

How to do select from where x is equal to multiple values?

You can try using parentheses around the OR expressions to make sure your query is interpreted correctly, or more concisely, use IN:

SELECT ads.*, location.county 
FROM ads
LEFT JOIN location ON location.county = ads.county_id
WHERE ads.published = 1 
AND ads.type = 13
AND ads.county_id IN (2,5,7,9)

Checking whether a String contains a number value in Java

Using a loop -

public static boolean containsDigit(final String aString)
{
    if (aString != null && !aString.isEmpty())
    {
        for (char c : aString.toCharArray())
        {
            if (Character.isDigit(c))
            {
                return true;
            }
        }
    }

    return false;
}

Using a stream -

public static boolean containsDigit(final String aString)
{
    return aString != null && !aString.isEmpty() &&
            aString.chars().anyMatch(Character::isDigit);
}

How can I return the current action in an ASP.NET MVC view?

Extending Dale Ragan's answer, his example for reuse, create an ApplicationController class which derives from Controller, and in turn have all your other controllers derive from that ApplicationController class rather than Controller.

Example:

public class MyCustomApplicationController : Controller {}

public class HomeController : MyCustomApplicationController {}

On your new ApplicationController create a property named ExecutingAction with this signature:

protected ActionDescriptor ExecutingAction { get; set; }

And then in the OnActionExecuting method (from Dale Ragan's answer), simply assign the ActionDescriptor to this property and you can access it whenever you need it in any of your controllers.

string currentActionName = this.ExecutingAction.ActionName;

Python in Xcode 4+?

Another way, which I've been using for awhile in XCode3:

See steps 1-15 above.

  1. Choose /bin/bash as your executable
  2. For the "Debugger" field, select "None".
  3. In the "Arguments" tab, click the "Base Expansions On" field and select the target you created earlier.
  4. Click the "+" icon under "Arguments Passed On Launch". You may have to expand that section by clicking on the triangle pointing to the right.
  5. Type in "-l". This will tell bash to use your login environment (PYTHONPATH, etc..)
  6. Do step #19 again.
  7. Type in "-c '$(SOURCE_ROOT)/.py'"
  8. Click "OK".
  9. Start coding.

The nice thing about this way is it will use the same environment to develop in that you would use to run in outside of XCode (as setup from your bash .profile).

It's also generic enough to let you develop/run any type of file, not just python.

How to find Port number of IP address?

Quite an old question, but might be helpful to somebody in need.

If you know the url, 1. open the chrome browser, 2. open developer tools in chrome , 3. Put the url in search bar and hit enter 4. look in network tab, you will see the ip and port both

Ternary operator (?:) in Bash

ternary operator ? : is just short form of if/else

case "$b" in
 5) a=$c ;;
 *) a=$d ;;
esac

Or

 [[ $b = 5 ]] && a="$c" || a="$d"

Subprocess changing directory

To run your_command as a subprocess in a different directory, pass cwd parameter, as suggested in @wim's answer:

import subprocess

subprocess.check_call(['your_command', 'arg 1', 'arg 2'], cwd=working_dir)

A child process can't change its parent's working directory (normally). Running cd .. in a child shell process using subprocess won't change your parent Python script's working directory i.e., the code example in @glglgl's answer is wrong. cd is a shell builtin (not a separate executable), it can change the directory only in the same process.

Angularjs - ng-cloak/ng-show elements blink

I tried the ng-cloak solution above but it still has intermittent issues with Firefox. The only workaround that worked for me is to delay the loading of the form until Angular is fully loaded.

I simply added ng-init in the app and use ng-if at the form side to check if the variable I set is already loaded.

<div ng-app="myApp" ng-init="loaded='yes'"> 
   <form ng-if="loaded.length > 0">
      <!--all my elements here-->
   </form>
</div>

Android fade in and fade out with ImageView

you can do it by two simple point and change in your code

1.In your xml in anim folder of your project, Set the fade in and fade out duration time not equal

2.In you java class before the start of fade out animation, set second imageView visibility Gone then after fade out animation started set second imageView visibility which you want to fade in visible

fadeout.xml

<alpha
    android:duration="4000"
    android:fromAlpha="1.0"
    android:interpolator="@android:anim/accelerate_interpolator"
    android:toAlpha="0.0" />

fadein.xml

<alpha
    android:duration="6000"
    android:fromAlpha="0.0"
    android:interpolator="@android:anim/accelerate_interpolator"
    android:toAlpha="1.0" />

In you java class

Animation animFadeOut = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.fade_out);
    ImageView iv = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView1);
    ImageView iv2 = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView2);
    iv.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
    iv2.setVisibility(View.GONE);
    animFadeOut.reset();
    iv.clearAnimation();
    iv.startAnimation(animFadeOut);

    Animation animFadeIn = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(this, R.anim.fade_in);
    iv2.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
    animFadeIn.reset();
    iv2.clearAnimation();
    iv2.startAnimation(animFadeIn);

How to get image size (height & width) using JavaScript?

var imgSrc, imgW, imgH;
function myFunction(image){

    img.src = image;
    img.onload = function() {   
        return {
            src:image,
            width:this.width,
            height:this.height};
        }
    return img;
}
var x = myFunction('http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif');
    //Waiting for the image loaded. Otherwise, system returned 0 as both width and height.
x.addEventListener('load',function(){
    imgSrc = x.src;
    imgW = x.width;
    imgH = x.height;
});
x.addEventListener('load',function(){
    console.log(imgW+'x'+imgH);//276x110
});
console.log(imgW);//undefined.
console.log(imgH);//undefined.
console.log(imgSrc);//undefined.

This is my method, hope this helpful. :)

How to install Java 8 on Mac

I'm having the same problem to solve, because I need to install JDK8 to run Android SDK Manager (because it seems that don't work well with JDK9). However, I tell you how I solve all problems on a Mac (Sierra).

First, you need brew with cask and jenv.

  1. You can find an useful guide here,Homebrew Cask Installation Guide. Remember to tap 'caskroom/versions' running in the terminal: brew tap caskroom/versions
  2. After that, install jenv with: brew install jenv
  3. Install whatever version you want with cask brew cask install java8 (or java7 or java if you want to install the latest version, jdk9)
  4. The last step is to configure which version to run (and let jenv to manage your JAVA_HOME) jenv versions to list all versions installed on your machine and then activate the one you want with jenv global [JDK_NAME_OF_LIST]

You could find other useful informations here on this Github Gist brew-java-and-jenv.md, on this blog Install multiple JDK on a Mac and on Jenv Website

How to simulate "Press any key to continue?"

Another option is using threads with function pointers:

void WaitForKey() 
{
  while (stopWaitingFlag == false)
  {
    std::cout<<"Display from the thread function"<<std::endl;
    delayms(1000);
  }
}

 

int main()
{
  std::thread threadObj(&WaitForKey);

  char userInput = '\0';
  while (userInput != 'y')
  {
    std::cout << "\e[1;31mWaiting for a key, Enter 'y' for yes\e[0m" << std::endl;

Efficiently updating database using SQLAlchemy ORM

There are several ways to UPDATE using sqlalchemy

1) for c in session.query(Stuff).all():
       c.foo += 1
   session.commit()

2) session.query().\
       update({"foo": (Stuff.foo + 1)})
   session.commit()

3) conn = engine.connect()
   stmt = Stuff.update().\
       values(Stuff.foo = (Stuff.foo + 1))
   conn.execute(stmt)

Ping a site in Python?

Here's a short snippet using subprocess. The check_call method either returns 0 for success, or raises an exception. This way, I don't have to parse the output of ping. I'm using shlex to split the command line arguments.

  import subprocess
  import shlex

  command_line = "ping -c 1 www.google.comsldjkflksj"
  args = shlex.split(command_line)
  try:
      subprocess.check_call(args,stdout=subprocess.PIPE,stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
      print "Website is there."
  except subprocess.CalledProcessError:
      print "Couldn't get a ping."

How to pass a file path which is in assets folder to File(String path)?

AFAIK, you can't create a File from an assets file because these are stored in the apk, that means there is no path to an assets folder.

But, you can try to create that File using a buffer and the AssetManager (it provides access to an application's raw asset files).

Try to do something like:

AssetManager am = getAssets();
InputStream inputStream = am.open("myfoldername/myfilename");
File file = createFileFromInputStream(inputStream);

private File createFileFromInputStream(InputStream inputStream) {

   try{
      File f = new File(my_file_name);
      OutputStream outputStream = new FileOutputStream(f);
      byte buffer[] = new byte[1024];
      int length = 0;

      while((length=inputStream.read(buffer)) > 0) {
        outputStream.write(buffer,0,length);
      }

Using WGET to run a cronjob PHP

You could tell wget to not download the contents in a couple of different ways:

wget --spider http://www.example.com/cronit.php

which will just perform a HEAD request but probably do what you want

wget -O /dev/null http://www.example.com/cronit.php

which will save the output to /dev/null (a black hole)

You might want to look at wget's -q switch too which prevents it from creating output

I think that the best option would probably be:

wget -q --spider http://www.example.com/cronit.php

that's unless you have some special logic checking the HTTP method used to request the page

AngularJS - Any way for $http.post to send request parameters instead of JSON?

From AngularJS documentation:

params – {Object.} – Map of strings or objects which will be turned to ?key1=value1&key2=value2 after the url. If the value is not a string, it will be JSONified.

So, provide string as parameters. If you don't want that, then use transformations. Again, from the documentation:

To override these transformation locally, specify transform functions as transformRequest and/or transformResponse properties of the config object. To globally override the default transforms, override the $httpProvider.defaults.transformRequest and $httpProvider.defaults.transformResponse properties of the $httpProvider.

Refer to documentation for more details.

URL Encoding using C#

I think people here got sidetracked by the UrlEncode message. URLEncoding is not what you want -- you want to encode stuff that won't work as a filename on the target system.

Assuming that you want some generality -- feel free to find the illegal characters on several systems (MacOS, Windows, Linux and Unix), union them to form a set of characters to escape.

As for the escape, a HexEscape should be fine (Replacing the characters with %XX). Convert each character to UTF-8 bytes and encode everything >128 if you want to support systems that don't do unicode. But there are other ways, such as using back slashes "\" or HTML encoding """. You can create your own. All any system has to do is 'encode' the uncompatible character away. The above systems allow you to recreate the original name -- but something like replacing the bad chars with spaces works also.

On the same tangent as above, the only one to use is

Uri.EscapeDataString

-- It encodes everything that is needed for OAuth, it doesn't encode the things that OAuth forbids encoding, and encodes the space as %20 and not + (Also in the OATH Spec) See: RFC 3986. AFAIK, this is the latest URI spec.

How do I make a matrix from a list of vectors in R?

t(sapply(a, '[', 1:max(sapply(a, length))))

where 'a' is a list. Would work for unequal row size

Parsing JSON array with PHP foreach

You maybe wanted to do the following:

foreach($user->data as $mydata)

    {
         echo $mydata->name . "\n";
         foreach($mydata->values as $values)
         {
              echo $values->value . "\n";
         }
    }        

How to do while loops with multiple conditions

I am not sure it would read better but you could do the following:

while any((not condition1, not condition2, val == -1)):
    val,something1,something2 = getstuff()

    if something1==10:
        condition1 = True

    if something2==20:
        condition2 = True

Sorting multiple keys with Unix sort

Take care though:

If you want to sort the file primarily by field 3, and secondarily by field 2 you want this:

sort -k 3,3 -k 2,2 < inputfile

Not this: sort -k 3 -k 2 < inputfile which sorts the file by the string from the beginning of field 3 to the end of line (which is potentially unique).

-k, --key=POS1[,POS2]     start a key at POS1 (origin 1), end it at POS2
                          (default end of line)

What is the difference between cssSelector & Xpath and which is better with respect to performance for cross browser testing?

The debate between cssSelector vs XPath would remain as one of the most subjective debate in the Selenium Community. What we already know so far can be summarized as:

  • People in favor of cssSelector say that it is more readable and faster (especially when running against Internet Explorer).
  • While those in favor of XPath tout it's ability to transverse the page (while cssSelector cannot).
  • Traversing the DOM in older browsers like IE8 does not work with cssSelector but is fine with XPath.
  • XPath can walk up the DOM (e.g. from child to parent), whereas cssSelector can only traverse down the DOM (e.g. from parent to child)
  • However not being able to traverse the DOM with cssSelector in older browsers isn't necessarily a bad thing as it is more of an indicator that your page has poor design and could benefit from some helpful markup.
  • Ben Burton mentions you should use cssSelector because that's how applications are built. This makes the tests easier to write, talk about, and have others help maintain.
  • Adam Goucher says to adopt a more hybrid approach -- focusing first on IDs, then cssSelector, and leveraging XPath only when you need it (e.g. walking up the DOM) and that XPath will always be more powerful for advanced locators.

Dave Haeffner carried out a test on a page with two HTML data tables, one table is written without helpful attributes (ID and Class), and the other with them. I have analyzed the test procedure and the outcome of this experiment in details in the discussion Why should I ever use cssSelector selectors as opposed to XPath for automated testing?. While this experiment demonstrated that each Locator Strategy is reasonably equivalent across browsers, it didn't adequately paint the whole picture for us. Dave Haeffner in the other discussion Css Vs. X Path, Under a Microscope mentioned, in an an end-to-end test there were a lot of other variables at play Sauce startup, Browser start up, and latency to and from the application under test. The unfortunate takeaway from that experiment could be that one driver may be faster than the other (e.g. IE vs Firefox), when in fact, that's wasn't the case at all. To get a real taste of what the performance difference is between cssSelector and XPath, we needed to dig deeper. We did that by running everything from a local machine while using a performance benchmarking utility. We also focused on a specific Selenium action rather than the entire test run, and run things numerous times. I have analyzed the specific test procedure and the outcome of this experiment in details in the discussion cssSelector vs XPath for selenium. But the tests were still missing one aspect i.e. more browser coverage (e.g., Internet Explorer 9 and 10) and testing against a larger and deeper page.

Dave Haeffner in another discussion Css Vs. X Path, Under a Microscope (Part 2) mentions, in order to make sure the required benchmarks are covered in the best possible way we need to consider an example that demonstrates a large and deep page.


Test SetUp

To demonstrate this detailed example, a Windows XP virtual machine was setup and Ruby (1.9.3) was installed. All the available browsers and their equivalent browser drivers for Selenium was also installed. For benchmarking, Ruby's standard lib benchmark was used.

Results

NOTE: The output is in seconds, and the results are for the total run time of 100 executions.

In Table Form:

css_xpath_under_microscopev2

In Chart Form:

  • Chrome:

chart-chrome

  • Firefox:

chart-firefox

  • Internet Explorer 8:

chart-ie8

  • Internet Explorer 9:

chart-ie9

  • Internet Explorer 10:

chart-ie10

  • Opera:

chart-opera


Analyzing the Results

  • Chrome and Firefox are clearly tuned for faster cssSelector performance.
  • Internet Explorer 8 is a grab bag of cssSelector that won't work, an out of control XPath traversal that takes ~65 seconds, and a 38 second table traversal with no cssSelector result to compare it against.
  • In IE 9 and 10, XPath is faster overall. In Safari, it's a toss up, except for a couple of slower traversal runs with XPath. And across almost all browsers, the nested sibling traversal and table cell traversal done with XPath are an expensive operation.
  • These shouldn't be that surprising since the locators are brittle and inefficient and we need to avoid them.

Summary

  • Overall there are two circumstances where XPath is markedly slower than cssSelector. But they are easily avoidable.
  • The performance difference is slightly in favor of for non-IE browsers and slightly in favor of for IE browsers.

Trivia

You can perform the bench-marking on your own, using this library where Dave Haeffner wrapped up all the code.

Run PostgreSQL queries from the command line

I have no doubt on @Grant answer. But I face few issues sometimes such as if the column name is similar to any reserved keyword of postgresql such as natural in this case similar SQL is difficult to run from the command line as "\natural\" will be needed in Query field. So my approach is to write the SQL in separate file and run the SQL file from command line. This has another advantage too. If you have to change the query for a large script you do not need to touch the script file or command. Only change the SQL file like this

psql -h localhost -d database -U postgres -p 5432 -a -q -f /path/to/the/file.sql
