how to check the version of jar file?

Basically you should use the java.lang.Package class which use the classloader to give you informations about your classes.

example:

String.class.getPackage().getImplementationVersion();
Package.getPackage(this).getImplementationVersion();
Package.getPackage("java.lang.String").getImplementationVersion();

I think logback is known to use this feature to trace the JAR name/version of each class in its produced stacktraces.

How to make an executable JAR file?

In Eclipse you can do it simply as follows :

Right click on your Java Project and select Export.

Select Java -> Runnable JAR file -> Next.

Select the Launch Configuration and choose project file as your Main class

Select the Destination folder where you would like to save it and click Finish.

Running JAR file on Windows

In Windows XP ^* you need just 2 shell commands:

   C:\>ftype myjarfile="C:\JRE1.6\bin\javaw.exe" -jar "%1" %* 
   C:\>assoc .jar=myjarfile

obviously using the correct path for the JRE and any name you want instead of myjarfile.

To just check the current settings:

   C:\>assoc .jar  
   C:\>ftype jarfile

this time using the value returned by the first command, if any, instead of jarfile.

^* not tested with Windows 7

How do I tell Spring Boot which main class to use for the executable jar?

I had renamed my project and it was still finding the old Application class on the build path. I removed it in the 'build' folder and all was fine.

"Invalid signature file" when attempting to run a .jar

Assuming you build your jar file with ant, you can just instruct ant to leave out the META-INF dir. This is a simplified version of my ant target:

<jar destfile="app.jar" basedir="${classes.dir}">
    <zipfileset excludes="META-INF/**/*" src="${lib.dir}/bcprov-jdk16-145.jar"></zipfileset>
    <manifest>
        <attribute name="Main-Class" value="app.Main"/>
    </manifest>
</jar>

Running JAR file on Windows 10

How do I run an executable JAR file? If you have a jar file called Example.jar, follow these rules:

Open a notepad.exe.
Write : java -jar Example.jar.
Save it with the extension .bat.
Copy it to the directory which has the .jar file.
Double click it to run your .jar file.

How to get the path of a running JAR file?

Best solution for me:

String path = Test.class.getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation().getPath();
String decodedPath = URLDecoder.decode(path, "UTF-8");

This should solve the problem with spaces and special characters.

How to run a class from Jar which is not the Main-Class in its Manifest file

This answer is for Spring-boot users:

If your JAR was from a Spring-boot project and created using the command mvn package spring-boot:repackage, the above "-cp" method won't work. You will get:

Error: Could not find or load main class your.alternative.class.path

even if you can see the class in the JAR by jar tvf yours.jar.

In this case, run your alternative class by the following command:

java -cp yours.jar -Dloader.main=your.alternative.class.path org.springframework.boot.loader.PropertiesLauncher

As I understood, the Spring-boot's org.springframework.boot.loader.PropertiesLauncher class serves as a dispatching entrance class, and the -Dloader.main parameter tells it what to run.

How can I create an executable JAR with dependencies using Maven?

This blog post shows another approach with combining the maven-jar and maven-assembly plugins. With the assembly configuration xml from the blog post it can also be controlled if dependencies will be expanded or just be collected in a folder and referenced by a classpath entry in the manifest:

The ideal solution is to include the jars in a lib folder and the manifest.mf file of the main jar include all the jars in classpath.

And exactly that one is described here: https://caffebig.wordpress.com/2013/04/05/executable-jar-file-with-dependent-jars-using-maven/

Building executable jar with maven?

The answer of Pascal Thivent helped me out, too. But if you manage your plugins within the <pluginManagement>element, you have to define the assembly again outside of the plugin management, or else the dependencies are not packed in the jar if you run mvn install.

NoClassDefFoundError while trying to run my jar with java.exe -jar...what's wrong?

i had the same problem with my jar the solution

Create the MANIFEST.MF file:

Manifest-Version: 1.0

Sealed: true

Class-Path: . lib/jarX1.jar lib/jarX2.jar lib/jarX3.jar

Main-Class: com.MainClass

Right click on project, Select Export.

select export all outpout folders for checked project

select using existing manifest from workspace and select the MANIFEST.MF file

This worked for me :)

Run java jar file on a server as background process

Run in background and add logs to log file using the following:

nohup java -jar /web/server.jar > log.log 2>&1 &

Execute another jar in a Java program

.jar isn't executable. Instantiate classes or make call to any static method.

EDIT: Add Main-Class entry while creating a JAR.

>p.mf (content of p.mf)

Main-Class: pk.Test

>Test.java

package pk;
public class Test{
  public static void main(String []args){
    System.out.println("Hello from Test");
  }
}

Use Process class and it's methods,

public class Exec
{
   public static void main(String []args) throws Exception
    {
        Process ps=Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{"java","-jar","A.jar"});
        ps.waitFor();
        java.io.InputStream is=ps.getInputStream();
        byte b[]=new byte[is.available()];
        is.read(b,0,b.length);
        System.out.println(new String(b));
    }
}

What causes "Unable to access jarfile" error?

Maybe you have specified the wrong version of your jar.

"Could not find the main class" error when running jar exported by Eclipse

I ran into the same issues the other day and it took me days to make it work. The error message was "Could not find the main class", but I can run the executable jar exported from Eclipse in other Windows machines without any problem.

The solution was to install both x64 and x86 version of the same version of JRE. The path environment variable was pointed to the x64 version. No idea why, but it worked for me.

how to run or install a *.jar file in windows?

The UnsupportedClassVersionError means that you are probably using (installed) an older version of Java as used to create the JAR.
Go to java.sun.com page, download and install a newer JRE (Java Runtime Environment).
if you want/need to develop with Java, you will need the JDK which includes the JRE.

How do I clear the content of a div using JavaScript?

Just Javascript (as requested)

Add this function somewhere on your page (preferably in the <head>)

function clearBox(elementID)
{
    document.getElementById(elementID).innerHTML = "";
}

Then add the button on click event:

<button onclick="clearBox('cart_item')" />

In JQuery (for reference)

If you prefer JQuery you could do:

$("#cart_item").html("");

Why use a READ UNCOMMITTED isolation level?

When is it ok to use READ UNCOMMITTED?

Rule of thumb

Good: Big aggregate reports showing constantly changing totals.

Risky: Nearly everything else.

The good news is that the majority of read-only reports fall in that Good category.

More detail...

Ok to use it:

Nearly all user-facing aggregate reports for current, non-static data e.g. Year to date sales. It risks a margin of error (maybe < 0.1%) which is much lower than other uncertainty factors such as inputting error or just the randomness of when exactly data gets recorded minute to minute.

That covers probably the majority of what an Business Intelligence department would do in, say, SSRS. The exception of course, is anything with $ signs in front of it. Many people account for money with much more zeal than applied to the related core metrics required to service the customer and generate that money. (I blame accountants).

When risky

Any report that goes down to the detail level. If that detail is required it usually implies that every row will be relevant to a decision. In fact, if you can't pull a small subset without blocking it might be for the good reason that it's being currently edited.
Historical data. It rarely makes a practical difference but whereas users understand constantly changing data can't be perfect, they don't feel the same about static data. Dirty reads won't hurt here but double reads can occasionally be. Seeing as you shouldn't have blocks on static data anyway, why risk it?
Nearly anything that feeds an application which also has write capabilities.

When even the OK scenario is not OK.

Are any applications or update processes making use of big single transactions? Ones which remove then re-insert a lot of records you're reporting on? In that case you really can't use NOLOCK on those tables for anything.

Split / Explode a column of dictionaries into separate columns with pandas

I've concatenated those steps in a method, you have to pass only the dataframe and the column which contains the dict to expand:

def expand_dataframe(dw: pd.DataFrame, column_to_expand: str) -> pd.DataFrame:
    """
    dw: DataFrame with some column which contain a dict to expand
        in columns
    column_to_expand: String with column name of dw
    """
    import pandas as pd

    def convert_to_dict(sequence: str) -> Dict:
        import json
        s = sequence
        json_acceptable_string = s.replace("'", "\"")
        d = json.loads(json_acceptable_string)
        return d    

    expanded_dataframe = pd.concat([dw.drop([column_to_expand], axis=1),
                                    dw[column_to_expand]
                                    .apply(convert_to_dict)
                                    .apply(pd.Series)],
                                    axis=1)
    return expanded_dataframe

Apache and Node.js on the Same Server

This question belongs more on Server Fault but FWIW I'd say running Apache in front of Node.js is not a good approach in most cases.

Apache's ProxyPass is awesome for lots of things (like exposing Tomcat based services as part of a site) and if your Node.js app is just doing a specific, small role or is an internal tool that's only likely to have a limited number of users then it might be easier just to use it so you can get it working and move on, but that doesn't sound like the case here.

If you want to take advantage of the performance and scale you'll get from using Node.js - and especially if you want to use something that involves maintaining a persistent connection like web sockets - you are better off running both Apache and your Node.js on other ports (e.g. Apache on localhost:8080, Node.js on localhost:3000) and then running something like nginx, Varnish or HA proxy in front - and routing traffic that way.

With something like varnish or nginx you can route traffic based on path and/or host. They both use much less system resources and is much more scalable that using Apache to do the same thing.

return in for loop or outside loop

Now someone told me that this is not very good programming because I use the return statement inside a loop and this would cause garbage collection to malfunction.

That's incorrect, and suggests you should treat other advice from that person with a degree of skepticism.

The mantra of "only have one return statement" (or more generally, only one exit point) is important in languages where you have to manage all resources yourself - that way you can make sure you put all your cleanup code in one place.

It's much less useful in Java: as soon as you know that you should return (and what the return value should be), just return. That way it's simpler to read - you don't have to take in any of the rest of the method to work out what else is going to happen (other than finally blocks).

ngOnInit not being called when Injectable class is Instantiated

Adding to answer by @Sasxa,

In Injectables you can use class normally that is putting initial code in constructor instead of using ngOnInit(), it works fine.

How do I use PHP namespaces with autoload?

I do something like this: See this GitHub Example

spl_autoload_register('AutoLoader');

function AutoLoader($className)
{
    $file = str_replace('\\',DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR,$className);

    require_once 'classes' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $file . '.php'; 
    //Make your own path, Might need to use Magics like ___DIR___
}

Reading an Excel file in PHP

I'm using below excel file url: https://github.com/inventorbala/Sample-Excel-files/blob/master/sample-excel-files.xlsx

Output:

insert datetime value in sql database with c#

It's more standard to use the format yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss (IE: 2009-06-23 19:30:20)

Using that you won't have to worry about the format of the date (MM/DD/YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY). It will work with all of them.

is there something like isset of php in javascript/jQuery?

Some parts of each of these answers work. I compiled them all down into a function "isset" just like the question was asking and works like it does in PHP.

// isset helper function 
var isset = function(variable){
    return typeof(variable) !== "undefined" && variable !== null && variable !== '';
}

Here is a usage example of how to use it:

var example = 'this is an example';
if(isset(example)){
    console.log('the example variable has a value set');
}

It depends on the situation you need it for but let me break down what each part does:

typeof(variable) !== "undefined" checks if the variable is defined at all
variable !== null checks if the variable is null (some people explicitly set null and don't think if it is set to null that that is correct, in that case, remove this part)
variable !== '' checks if the variable is set to an empty string, you can remove this if an empty string counts as set for your use case

Hope this helps someone :)

Using BufferedReader to read Text File

You read line through while loop and through the loop you read the next line ,so just read it in while loop

 String s;

  }

Fragment MyFragment not attached to Activity

I had a similar error message "Fragment MyFragment not attached to Context" in Xamarine Android.

this error messege getting because of this resource calling

if (Context != null && IsAdded){ 
    button.Text = Resources.GetString(Resource.String.please_wait);
}

Laravel password validation rule

I have had a similar scenario in Laravel and solved it in the following way.

The password contains characters from at least three of the following five categories:

English uppercase characters (A – Z)
English lowercase characters (a – z)
Base 10 digits (0 – 9)
Non-alphanumeric (For example: !, $, #, or %)
Unicode characters

First, we need to create a regular expression and validate it.

Your regular expression would look like this:

^.*(?=.{3,})(?=.*[a-zA-Z])(?=.*[0-9])(?=.*[\d\x])(?=.*[!$#%]).*$

I have tested and validated it on this site. Yet, perform your own in your own manner and adjust accordingly. This is only an example of regex, you can manipluated the way you want.

So your final Laravel code should be like this:

'password' => 'required|
               min:6|
               regex:/^.*(?=.{3,})(?=.*[a-zA-Z])(?=.*[0-9])(?=.*[\d\x])(?=.*[!$#%]).*$/|
               confirmed',

Update As @NikK in the comment mentions, in Laravel 5.5 and newer the the password value should encapsulated in array Square brackets like

'password' => ['required', 
               'min:6', 
               'regex:/^.*(?=.{3,})(?=.*[a-zA-Z])(?=.*[0-9])(?=.*[\d\x])(?=.*[!$#%]).*$/', 
               'confirmed']

I have not testing it on Laravel 5.5 so I am trusting @NikK hence I have moved to working with c#/.net these days and have no much time for Laravel.

Note:

I have tested and validated it on both the regular expression site and a Laravel 5 test environment and it works.
I have used min:6, this is optional but it is always a good practice to have a security policy that reflects different aspects, one of which is minimum password length.
I suggest you to use password confirmed to ensure user typing correct password.
Within the 6 characters our regex should contain at least 3 of a-z or A-Z and number and special character.
Always test your code in a test environment before moving to production.
Update: What I have done in this answer is just example of regex password

SQL Server : check if variable is Empty or NULL for WHERE clause

If you can use some dynamic query, you can use LEN . It will give false on both empty and null string. By this way you can implement the option parameter.

ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[psProducts] 
(@SearchType varchar(50))
AS
BEGIN
    SET NOCOUNT ON;

DECLARE @Query nvarchar(max) = N'
    SELECT 
        P.[ProductId],
        P.[ProductName],
        P.[ProductPrice],
        P.[Type]
    FROM [Product] P'
    -- if @Searchtype is not null then use the where clause
    SET @Query = CASE WHEN LEN(@SearchType) > 0 THEN @Query + ' WHERE p.[Type] = ' + ''''+ @SearchType + '''' ELSE @Query END   

    EXECUTE sp_executesql @Query
    PRINT @Query

C#/Linq: Apply a mapping function to each element in an IEnumerable?

You can just use the Select() extension method:

IEnumerable<int> integers = new List<int>() { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
IEnumerable<string> strings = integers.Select(i => i.ToString());

Or in LINQ syntax:

IEnumerable<int> integers = new List<int>() { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };

var strings = from i in integers
              select i.ToString();

How to get correlation of two vectors in python

The docs indicate that numpy.correlate is not what you are looking for:

numpy.correlate(a, v, mode='valid', old_behavior=False)[source]
  Cross-correlation of two 1-dimensional sequences.
  This function computes the correlation as generally defined in signal processing texts:
     z[k] = sum_n a[n] * conj(v[n+k])
  with a and v sequences being zero-padded where necessary and conj being the conjugate.

Instead, as the other comments suggested, you are looking for a Pearson correlation coefficient. To do this with scipy try:

from scipy.stats.stats import pearsonr   
a = [1,4,6]
b = [1,2,3]   
print pearsonr(a,b)

This gives

(0.99339926779878274, 0.073186395040328034)

You can also use numpy.corrcoef:

import numpy
print numpy.corrcoef(a,b)

This gives:

[[ 1.          0.99339927]
 [ 0.99339927  1.        ]]

Razor View Without Layout

You (and KMulligan) are misunderstanding _ViewStart pages.

_ViewStart will always execute, before your page starts.
It is intended to be used to initialize properties (such as Layout); it generally should not contain markup. (Since there is no way to override it).

The correct pattern is to make a separate layout page which calls RenderBody, and set the Layout property to point to this page in _ViewStart.

You can then change Layout in your content pages, and the changes will take effect.

How to permanently export a variable in Linux?

You have to edit three files to set a permanent environment variable as follow:

~/.bashrc

When you open any terminal window this file will be run. Therefore, if you wish to have a permanent environment variable in all of your terminal windows you have to add the following line at the end of this file:
```
export DISPLAY=0
```
~/.profile

Same as bashrc you have to put the mentioned command line at the end of this file to have your environment variable in every login of your OS.
/etc/environment

If you want your environment variable in every window or application (not just terminal window) you have to edit this file. Add the following command at the end of this file:
```
DISPLAY=0
```
Note that in this file you do not have to write export command

Normally you have to restart your computer to apply these changes. But you can apply changes in bashrc and profile by these commands:

$ source ~/.bashrc
$ source ~/.profile

But for /etc/environment you have no choice but restarting (as far as I know)

A Simple Solution

I've written a simple script for these procedures to do all those work. You just have to set the name and value of your environment variable.

#!/bin/bash
echo "Enter variable name: "
read variable_name
echo "Enter variable value: "
read variable_value
echo "adding " $variable_name " to environment variables: " $variable_value
echo "export "$variable_name"="$variable_value>>~/.bashrc
echo $variable_name"="$variable_value>>~/.profile
echo $variable_name"="$variable_value>>/etc/environment
source ~/.bashrc
source ~/.profile
echo "do you want to restart your computer to apply changes in /etc/environment file? yes(y)no(n)"
read restart
case $restart in
    y) sudo shutdown -r 0;;
    n) echo "don't forget to restart your computer manually";;
esac
exit

Save these lines in a shfile then make it executable and just run it!

Why does a base64 encoded string have an = sign at the end

1: No.

2: As a short answer: The 65th character ("=" sign) is used only as a complement in the final process of encoding a message.

You will not have a '=' sign if your string has a multiple of 3 characters number, because Base64 encoding takes each three bytes (8 bits) and represents them as four printable characters in the ASCII standard.

Details:

(a) If you want to encode

ABCDEFG <=> [ABC] [DEF] [G

Base64 will deal with the first block (producing 4 characters) and the second (as they are complete). But for the third it will add a double == in the output in order to complete the 4 needed characters. Thus, the result will be QUJD REVG Rw== (without spaces).

(b) If you want to encode

ABCDEFGH <=> [ABC] [DEF] [GH

similarly, it will add just a single = in the end of the output to get 4 characters.

The result will be QUJD REVG R0g= (without spaces).

On https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/SubtleCrypto/digest I found this snippet that uses internal js module:

async function sha256(message) {
    // encode as UTF-8
    const msgBuffer = new TextEncoder().encode(message);                    

    // hash the message
    const hashBuffer = await crypto.subtle.digest('SHA-256', msgBuffer);

    // convert ArrayBuffer to Array
    const hashArray = Array.from(new Uint8Array(hashBuffer));

    // convert bytes to hex string                  
    const hashHex = hashArray.map(b => ('00' + b.toString(16)).slice(-2)).join('');
    return hashHex;
}

Note that crypto.subtle in only available on https or localhost - for example for your local development with python3 -m http.server you need to add this line to your /etc/hosts: 0.0.0.0 localhost

Reboot - and you can open localhost:8000 with working crypto.subtle.

How to enable Logger.debug() in Log4j

Here's a quick one-line hack that I occasionally use to temporarily turn on log4j debug logging in a JUnit test:

Logger.getRootLogger().setLevel(Level.DEBUG);

or if you want to avoid adding imports:

org.apache.log4j.Logger.getRootLogger().setLevel(
      org.apache.log4j.Level.DEBUG);

Note: this hack doesn't work in log4j2 because setLevel has been removed from the API, and there doesn't appear to be equivalent functionality.

jQuery object equality

First order your object based on key using this function

function sortObject(o) {
    return Object.keys(o).sort().reduce((r, k) => (r[k] = o[k], r), {});
}

Then, compare the stringified version of your object, using this funtion

function isEqualObject(a,b){
    return JSON.stringify(sortObject(a)) == JSON.stringify(sortObject(b));
}

Here is an example

Assuming objects keys are ordered differently and are of the same values

var obj1 = {"hello":"hi","world":"earth"}
var obj2 = {"world":"earth","hello":"hi"}

isEqualObject(obj1,obj2);//returns true

Difference between applicationContext.xml and spring-servlet.xml in Spring Framework

One more point I want to add. In spring-servlet.xml we include component scan for Controller package. In following example we include filter annotation for controller package.

<!-- Scans for annotated @Controllers in the classpath -->
<context:component-scan base-package="org.test.web" use-default-filters="false">
    <context:include-filter type="annotation" expression="org.springframework.stereotype.Controller"/>
</context:component-scan>

In applicationcontext.xml we add filter for remaining package excluding controller.

<context:component-scan base-package="org.test">
        <context:exclude-filter type="annotation" expression="org.springframework.stereotype.Controller"/>
    </context:component-scan>

How to disable the resize grabber of <textarea>?

Just use resize: none

textarea {

textarea { resize: vertical; }

textarea { resize: horizontal; }

Finally, resize: both enables the resize grabber.

How to stop PHP code execution?

Please see the following information from user Pekka ?

According to the manual, destructors are executed even if the script gets terminated using die() or exit():

The destructor will be called even if script execution is stopped using exit(). Calling exit() in a destructor will prevent the remaining shutdown routines from executing.

According to this PHP: destructor vs register_shutdown_function, the destructor does not get executed when PHP's execution time limit is reached (Confirmed on Apache 2, PHP 5.2 on Windows 7).

The destructor also does not get executed when the script terminates because the memory limit was reached. (Just tested)

The destructor does get executed on fatal errors (Just tested) Update: The OP can't confirm this - there seem to be fatal errors where things are different

It does not get executed on parse errors (because the whole script won't be interpreted)

The destructor will certainly not be executed if the server process crashes or some other exception out of PHP's control occurs.

Referenced in this question Are there any instances when the destructor in PHP is NOT called?

What is the backslash character (\\)?

\ is used as for escape sequence in many programming languages, including Java.

for tab use \t
likewise to print a \ or " which are special in string literal you have to escape it with another \ which gives us \\ and \"

password for postgres

Set the default password in the .pgpass file. If the server does not save the password, it is because it is not set in the .pgpass file, or the permissions are open and the file is therefore ignored.

Why declare unicode by string in python?

As others have said, # coding: specifies the encoding the source file is saved in. Here are some examples to illustrate this:

A file saved on disk as cp437 (my console encoding), but no encoding declared

b = 'über'
u = u'über'
print b,repr(b)
print u,repr(u)

Output:

  File "C:\ex.py", line 1
SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\x81' in file C:\ex.py on line 1, but no
encoding declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details

Output of file with # coding: cp437 added:

über '\x81ber'
über u'\xfcber'

At first, Python didn't know the encoding and complained about the non-ASCII character. Once it knew the encoding, the byte string got the bytes that were actually on disk. For the Unicode string, Python read \x81, knew that in cp437 that was a ü, and decoded it into the Unicode codepoint for ü which is U+00FC. When the byte string was printed, Python sent the hex value 81 to the console directly. When the Unicode string was printed, Python correctly detected my console encoding as cp437 and translated Unicode ü to the cp437 value for ü.

Here's what happens with a file declared and saved in UTF-8:

++ber '\xc3\xbcber'
über u'\xfcber'

In UTF-8, ü is encoded as the hex bytes C3 BC, so the byte string contains those bytes, but the Unicode string is identical to the first example. Python read the two bytes and decoded it correctly. Python printed the byte string incorrectly, because it sent the two UTF-8 bytes representing ü directly to my cp437 console.

Here the file is declared cp437, but saved in UTF-8:

++ber '\xc3\xbcber'
++ber u'\u251c\u255dber'

The byte string still got the bytes on disk (UTF-8 hex bytes C3 BC), but interpreted them as two cp437 characters instead of a single UTF-8-encoded character. Those two characters where translated to Unicode code points, and everything prints incorrectly.

How to get current user who's accessing an ASP.NET application?

How do I make an HTML button not reload the page

I can't comment yet, so I'm posting this as an answer. Best way to avoid reload is how @user2868288 said: using the onsubmit on the form tag.

From all the other possibilities mentioned here, it's the only way which allows the new HTML5 browser data input validation to be triggered (<button> won't do it nor the jQuery/JS handlers) and allows your jQuery/AJAX dynamic info to be appended on the page. For example:

<form id="frmData" onsubmit="return false">
 <input type="email" id="txtEmail" name="input_email" required="" placeholder="Enter a valid e-mail" spellcheck="false"/>
 <input type="tel" id="txtTel" name="input_tel" required="" placeholder="Enter your telephone number" spellcheck="false"/>
 <input type="submit" id="btnSubmit" value="Send Info"/>
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
  $(document).ready(function(){
    $('#btnSubmit').click(function() {
        var tel = $("#txtTel").val();
        var email = $("#txtEmail").val();
        $.post("scripts/contact.php", {
            tel1: tel,
            email1: email
        })
        .done(function(data) {
            $('#lblEstatus').append(data); // Appends status
            if (data == "Received") {
                $("#btnSubmit").attr('disabled', 'disabled'); // Disable doubleclickers.
            }
        })
        .fail(function(xhr, textStatus, errorThrown) { 
            $('#lblEstatus').append("Error. Try later."); 
        });
     });
   }); 
</script>

How to initialize a variable of date type in java?

To initialize to current date, you could do something like:

Date firstDate = new Date();

To get it from String, you could use SimpleDateFormat like:

String dateInString = "10-Jan-2016";
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yyyy");
try {
    Date date = formatter.parse(dateInString);
    System.out.println(date);
    System.out.println(formatter.format(date));
} catch (ParseException e) {
    //handle exception if date is not in "dd-MMM-yyyy" format
}

Split a large pandas dataframe

I also experienced np.array_split not working with Pandas DataFrame my solution was to only split the index of the DataFrame and then introduce a new column with the "group" label:

indexes = np.array_split(df.index,N, axis=0)
for i,index in enumerate(indexes):
   df.loc[index,'group'] = i

This makes grouby operations very convenient for instance calculation of mean value of each group:

df.groupby(by='group').mean()

How to create a function in a cshtml template?

If you want to access your page's global variables, you can do so:

@{
    ViewData["Title"] = "Home Page";

    var LoadingButtons = Model.ToDictionary(person => person, person => false);

    string GetLoadingState (string person) => LoadingButtons[person] ? "is-loading" : string.Empty;
}

only integers, slices (`:`), ellipsis (`...`), numpy.newaxis (`None`) and integer or boolean arrays are valid indices

I believe your problem is this: in your while loop, n is divided by 2, but never cast as an integer again, so it becomes a float at some point. It is then added onto y, which is then a float too, and that gives you the warning.

Parallel foreach with asynchronous lambda

The following is set to work with IAsyncEnumerable but can be modified to use IEnumerable by just changing the type and removing the "await" on the foreach. It's far more appropriate for large sets of data than creating countless parallel tasks and then awaiting them all.

    public static async Task ForEachAsyncConcurrent<T>(this IAsyncEnumerable<T> enumerable, Func<T, Task> action, int maxDegreeOfParallelism, int? boundedCapacity = null)
    {
        ActionBlock<T> block = new ActionBlock<T>(
           action, 
           new ExecutionDataflowBlockOptions 
           { 
             MaxDegreeOfParallelism = maxDegreeOfParallelism, 
             BoundedCapacity = boundedCapacity ?? maxDegreeOfParallelism * 3 
           });

        await foreach (T item in enumerable)
        {
           await block.SendAsync(item).ConfigureAwait(false);
        }

        block.Complete();
        await block.Completion;
    }

Pass variables by reference in JavaScript

JavaScript not being strong type. It allows you to resolve problems in many different ways, as it seem in this question.

However, for a maintainability point of view, I would have to agree with Bart Hofland. A function should get arguments to do something with and return the result. Making them easily reusable.

If you feel that variables need to be passed by reference, you may be better served building them into objects, IMHO.

How can I convert JSON to CSV?

Use `json_normalize` from `pandas`:

Given the sample data from the OP, in a file named test.json.
encoding='utf-8' may not be necessary.
The following code takes advantage of the pathlib library.
- .open is a method of pathlib.
- Works with non-Windows paths too.
Use pandas.to_csv(...) to save the data to a csv file.

import pandas as pd
# As of Pandas 1.01, json_normalize as pandas.io.json.json_normalize is deprecated and is now exposed in the top-level namespace.
# from pandas.io.json import json_normalize
from pathlib import Path
import json

# set path to file
p = Path(r'c:\some_path_to_file\test.json')

# read json
with p.open('r', encoding='utf-8') as f:
    data = json.loads(f.read())

# create dataframe
df = pd.json_normalize(data)

# dataframe view
 pk            model  fields.codename           fields.name  fields.content_type
 22  auth.permission     add_logentry     Can add log entry                    8
 23  auth.permission  change_logentry  Can change log entry                    8
 24  auth.permission  delete_logentry  Can delete log entry                    8
  4  auth.permission        add_group         Can add group                    2
 10  auth.permission      add_message       Can add message                    4

# save to csv
df.to_csv('test.csv', index=False, encoding='utf-8')

CSV Output:

pk,model,fields.codename,fields.name,fields.content_type
22,auth.permission,add_logentry,Can add log entry,8
23,auth.permission,change_logentry,Can change log entry,8

How to have the cp command create any necessary folders for copying a file to a destination

cp -Rvn /source/path/* /destination/path/
cp: /destination/path/any.zip: No such file or directory

It will create no existing paths in destination, if path have a source file inside. This dont create empty directories.

A moment ago i've seen xxxxxxxx: No such file or directory, because i run out of free space. without error message.

with ditto:

ditto -V /source/path/* /destination/path
ditto: /destination/path/any.zip: No space left on device

once freed space cp -Rvn /source/path/* /destination/path/ works as expected

lodash multi-column sortBy descending

It's worth noting that if you want to sort particular properties descending, you don't want to simply append .reverse() at the end, as this will make all of the sorts descending.

To make particular sorts descending, chain your sorts from least significant to most significant, calling .reverse() after each sort that you want to be descending.

var data = _(data).chain()
    .sort("date")
    .reverse()    // sort by date descending
    .sort("name") // sort by name ascending
    .result()

Since _'s sort is a stable sort, you can safely chain and reverse sorts because if two items have the same value for a property, their order is preserved.

private static int defaultCharBufferSize = 8192;

If you do want to send data before the buffer is full, you do have control. Just Flush It. Calls to writer.flush() say, "send whatever's in the buffer, now!

Bit is not safe for now. I changed to tinyint(1) and worked perfectly. I mean that you only need a value to diferentiate if it's 1 or 0 and tinyint(1) it's ok for that

How to check whether a Button is clicked by using JavaScript

All the answers here discuss about onclick method, however you can also use addEventListener().

Syntax of addEventListener()

document.getElementById('button').addEventListener("click",{function defination});

The function defination above is known as anonymous function.

If you don't want to use anonymous functions you can also use function refrence.

function functionName(){
//function defination
}



document.getElementById('button').addEventListener("click",functionName);

You can check the detail differences between onclick() and addEventListener() in this answer here.

Why won't bundler install JSON gem?

if you are in MacOS Sierra and your ruby version is 2.4.0.The ruby version is not compatible with json 1.8.3.

You can try add this line in your Gemfile:

gem 'json', github: 'flori/json', branch: 'v1.8'

This works for me!

Static Block in Java

It's a block of code which is executed when the class gets loaded by a classloader. It is meant to do initialization of static members of the class.

It is also possible to write non-static initializers, which look even stranger:

public class Foo {
    {
        // This code will be executed before every constructor
        // but after the call to super()
    }

    Foo() {

    }
}

Set line spacing

Yup, as everyone's saying, line-height is the thing. Any font you are using, a mid-height character (such as a or ¦, not going through the upper or lower) should go with the same height-length at line-height: 0.6 to 0.65.

Python vs Bash - In which kind of tasks each one outruns the other performance-wise?

Performance wise both can do equally the same, so the question becomes which saves more development time?

Bash relies on calling other commands, and piping them for creating new ones. This has the advantage that you can quickly create new programs just with the code borrowed from other people, no matter what programming language they used.

This also has the side effect of resisting change in sub-commands pretty well, as the interface between them is just plain text.

Additionally Bash is very permissive on how you can write on it. This means it will work well for a wider variety of context, but it also relies on the programmer having the intention of coding in a clean safe manner. Otherwise Bash won't stop you from building a mess.

Python is more structured on style, so a messy programmer won't be as messy. It will also work on operating systems outside Linux, making it instantly more appropriate if you need that kind of portability.

But it isn't as simple for calling other commands. So if your operating system is Unix most likely you will find that developing on Bash is the fastest way to develop.

When to use Bash:

It's a non graphical program, or the engine of a graphical one.
It's only for Unix.

When to use Python:

It's a graphical program.
It shall work on Windows.

TypeError: can only concatenate list (not "str") to list

That's not how to add an item to a string. This:

newinv=inventory+str(add)

Means you're trying to concatenate a list and a string. To add an item to a list, use the list.append() method.

inventory.append(add) #adds a new item to inventory
print(inventory) #prints the new inventory

Hope this helps!

How to conditional format based on multiple specific text in Excel

You can use MATCH for instance.

Select the column from the first cell, for example cell A2 to cell A100 and insert a conditional formatting, using 'New Rule...' and the option to conditional format based on a formula.
In the entry box, put:
```
=MATCH(A2, 'Sheet2'!A:A, 0)
```
Pick the desired formatting (change the font to red or fill the cell background, etc) and click OK.

MATCH takes the value A2 from your data table, looks into 'Sheet2'!A:A and if there's an exact match (that's why there's a 0 at the end), then it'll return the row number.

Note: Conditional formatting based on conditions from other sheets is available only on Excel 2010 onwards. If you're working on an earlier version, you might want to get the list of 'Don't check' in the same sheet.

EDIT: As per new information, you will have to use some reverse matching. Instead of the above formula, try:

=SUM(IFERROR(SEARCH('Sheet2'!$A$1:$A$44, A2),0))

Difference between save and saveAndFlush in Spring data jpa

Depending on the hibernate flush mode that you are using (AUTO is the default) save may or may not write your changes to the DB straight away. When you call saveAndFlush you are enforcing the synchronization of your model state with the DB.

If you use flush mode AUTO and you are using your application to first save and then select the data again, you will not see a difference in bahvior between save() and saveAndFlush() because the select triggers a flush first. See the documention.

Send JavaScript variable to PHP variable

As Jordan already said you have to post back the javascript variable to your server before the server can handle the value. To do this you can either program a javascript function that submits a form - or you can use ajax / jquery. jQuery.post

Maybe the most easiest approach for you is something like this

function myJavascriptFunction() { 
  var javascriptVariable = "John";
  window.location.href = "myphpfile.php?name=" + javascriptVariable; 
}

On your myphpfile.php you can use $_GET['name'] after your javascript was executed.

What CSS selector can be used to select the first div within another div

If we can assume that the H1 is always going to be there, then

div h1+div {...}

but don't be afraid to specify the id of the content div:

#content h1+div {...}

That's about as good as you can get cross-browser right now without resorting to a JavaScript library like jQuery. Using h1+div ensures that only the first div after the H1 gets the style. There are alternatives, but they rely on CSS3 selectors, and thus won't work on most IE installs.

Understanding SQL Server LOCKS on SELECT queries

select with no lock - will select records which may / may not going to be inserted. you will read a dirty data.

for example - lets say a transaction insert 1000 rows and then fails.

when you select - you will get the 1000 rows.

Using custom std::set comparator

You can use a function comparator without wrapping it like so:

bool comparator(const MyType &lhs, const MyType &rhs)
{
    return [...];
}

std::set<MyType, bool(*)(const MyType&, const MyType&)> mySet(&comparator);

which is irritating to type out every time you need a set of that type, and can cause issues if you don't create all sets with the same comparator.

EDIT 2017-05-09: Shorter method added

I developed a shorter method to get the same result, so I couldn't resist to post it here. The two for commands used to separate time parts and the three if commands used to insert leading zeros in the result are replaced by two long arithmetic expressions, that could even be combined into a single longer line.

The method consists in directly convert a variable with a time in "HH:MM:SS.CC" format into the formula needed to convert the time to centiseconds, accordingly to the mapping scheme given below:

       HH        :      MM        :      SS        .       CC

(((10  HH  %%100)*60+1  MM  %%100)*60+1  SS  %%100)*100+1  CC  %%100

That is, insert (((10 at beginning, replace the colons by %%100)*60+1, replace the point by %%100)*100+1 and insert %%100 at end; finally, evaluate the resulting string as an arithmetic expression. In the time variable there are two different substrings that needs to be replaced, so the conversion must be completed in two lines. To get an elapsed time, use (endTime)-(startTime) expression and replace both time strings in the same line.

How can I get a list of all classes within current module in Python?

If you want to have all the classes, that belong to the current module, you could use this :

import sys, inspect
def print_classes():
    is_class_member = lambda member: inspect.isclass(member) and member.__module__ == __name__
    clsmembers = inspect.getmembers(sys.modules[__name__], is_class_member)

If you use Nadia's answer and you were importing other classes on your module, that classes will be being imported too.

So that's why member.__module__ == __name__ is being added to the predicate used on is_class_member. This statement checks that the class really belongs to the module.

A predicate is a function (callable), that returns a boolean value.

How to check if an object is a list or tuple (but not string)?

In "duck typing" manner, how about

try:
    lst = lst + []
except TypeError:
    #it's not a list

try:
    lst = lst + ()
except TypeError:
    #it's not a tuple

respectively. This avoids the isinstance / hasattr introspection stuff.

You could also check vice versa:

try:
    lst = lst + ''
except TypeError:
    #it's not (base)string

All variants do not actually change the content of the variable, but imply a reassignment. I'm unsure whether this might be undesirable under some circumstances.

Interestingly, with the "in place" assignment += no TypeError would be raised in any case if lst is a list (not a tuple). That's why the assignment is done this way. Maybe someone can shed light on why that is.

How to create a drop shadow only on one side of an element?

How about just using a containing div which has overflow set to hidden and some padding at the bottom? This seems like much the simplest solution.

Sorry to say I didn't think of this myself but saw it somewhere else.

Using an element to wrap the element getting the box-shadow and a overflow: hidden on the wrapper you could make the extra box-shadow disappear and still have a usable border. This also fixes the problem where the element is smaller as it seems, because of the spread.

Like this:
#wrapper { padding-bottom: 10px; overflow: hidden; }
#elem { box-shadow: 0 0 10px black; }
Content goes here

Still a clever solution when it has to be done in pure CSS!

How to create our own Listener interface in android?

In the year of 2018, there's no need for listeners interfaces. You've got Android LiveData to take care of passing the desired result back to the UI components.

If I'll take Rupesh's answer and adjust it to use LiveData, it will like so:

public class Event {

    public LiveData<EventResult> doEvent() {
         /*
          * code code code
          */

         // and in the end

         LiveData<EventResult> result = new MutableLiveData<>();
         result.setValue(eventResult);
         return result;
    }
}

and now in your driver class MyTestDriver:

public class MyTestDriver {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Event e = new Event();
        e.doEvent().observe(this, new  Observer<EventResult>() {
            @Override
            public void onChanged(final EventResult er) {
                // do your work.
            }
        });
    }
}

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property 'value' of null

The problem may where the code is being executed. If you are in the head of a document executing JavaScript, even when you have an element with id="u" in your web page, the code gets executed before the DOM is finished loading, and so none of the HTML really exists yet... You can fix this by moving your code to the end of the page just above the closing html tag. This is one good reason to use jQuery.

How to give color to each class in scatter plot in R?

One way is to use the lattice package and xyplot():

R> DF <- data.frame(x=1:10, y=rnorm(10)+5, 
+>                  z=sample(letters[1:3], 10, replace=TRUE))
R> DF
    x       y z
1   1 3.91191 c
2   2 4.57506 a
3   3 3.16771 b
4   4 5.37539 c
5   5 4.99113 c
6   6 5.41421 a
7   7 6.68071 b
8   8 5.58991 c
9   9 5.03851 a
10 10 4.59293 b
R> with(DF, xyplot(y ~ x, group=z))

By giving explicit grouping information via variable z, you obtain different colors. You can specify colors etc, see the lattice documentation.

Because z here is a factor variable for which we obtain the levels (== numeric indices), you can also do

R> with(DF, plot(x, y, col=z))

but that is less transparent (to me, at least :) then xyplot() et al.

What is the (function() { } )() construct in JavaScript?

That is a self-invoking anonymous function.

Check out the W3Schools explanation of a self-invoking function.

Function expressions can be made "self-invoking".

A self-invoking expression is invoked (started) automatically, without being called.

Function expressions will execute automatically if the expression is followed by ().

You cannot self-invoke a function declaration.

Best way to store date/time in mongodb

The best way is to store native JavaScript Date objects, which map onto BSON native Date objects.

> db.test.insert({date: ISODate()})
> db.test.insert({date: new Date()})
> db.test.find()
{ "_id" : ObjectId("..."), "date" : ISODate("2014-02-10T10:50:42.389Z") }
{ "_id" : ObjectId("..."), "date" : ISODate("2014-02-10T10:50:57.240Z") }

The native type supports a whole range of useful methods out of the box, which you can use in your map-reduce jobs, for example.

If you need to, you can easily convert Date objects to and from Unix timestamps¹⁾, using the getTime() method and Date(milliseconds) constructor, respectively.

¹⁾ Strictly speaking, the Unix timestamp is measured in seconds. The JavaScript Date object measures in milliseconds since the Unix epoch.

Changing SQL Server collation to case insensitive from case sensitive?

You can do that but the changes will affect for new data that is inserted on the database. On the long run follow as suggested above.

Also there are certain tricks you can override the collation, such as parameters for stored procedures or functions, alias data types, and variables are assigned the default collation of the database. To change the collation of an alias type, you must drop the alias and re-create it.

You can override the default collation of a literal string by using the COLLATE clause. If you do not specify a collation, the literal is assigned the database default collation. You can use DATABASEPROPERTYEX to find the current collation of the database.

You can override the server, database, or column collation by specifying a collation in the ORDER BY clause of a SELECT statement.

How to add AUTO_INCREMENT to an existing column?

I think you want to MODIFY the column as described for the ALTER TABLE command. It might be something like this:

ALTER TABLE users MODIFY id INTEGER NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT;

Before running above ensure that id column has a Primary index.

How do I convert from a money datatype in SQL server?

I had this issue as well, and was tripped up for a while on it. I wanted to display 0.00 as 0 and otherwise keep the decimal point. The following didn't work:

CASE WHEN Amount= 0 THEN CONVERT(VARCHAR(30), Amount, 1) ELSE Amount END

Because the resulting column was forced to be a MONEY column. To resolve it, the following worked

CASE WHEN Amount= 0 THEN CONVERT(VARCHAR(30), '0', 1) ELSE CONVERT (VARCHAR(30), Amount, 1) END

This mattered because my final destination column was a VARCHAR(30), and the consumers of that column would error out if an amount was '0.00' instead of '0'.

How to vertically align text inside a flexbox?

RESULT

HTML

<ul class="list">
  <li>This is the text</li>
  <li>This is another text</li>
  <li>This is another another text</li>
</ul>

Use align-items instead of align-self and I also added flex-direction to column.

CSS

* {
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

html,
body {
  height: 100%;
}

.list {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  flex-direction: column;  /* <--- I added this */
  align-items: center;   /* <--- Change here */

Quicksort with Python

There is another concise and beautiful version

def qsort(arr): 
    if len(arr) <= 1:
        return arr
    else:
        return qsort([x for x in arr[1:] if x < arr[0]]) + \
               [arr[0]] + \
               qsort([x for x in arr[1:] if x >= arr[0]])

# this comment is just to improve readability due to horizontal scroll!!!

Let me explain the above codes for details

pick the first element of array arr[0] as pivot

[arr[0]]
qsort those elements of array which are less than pivot with List Comprehension

qsort([x for x in arr[1:] if x < arr[0]])
qsort those elements of array which are larger than pivot with List Comprehension

qsort([x for x in arr[1:] if x >= arr[0]])

How to copy Outlook mail message into excel using VBA or Macros

New introduction 2

In the previous version of macro "SaveEmailDetails" I used this statement to find Inbox:

Set FolderTgt = CreateObject("Outlook.Application"). _
              GetNamespace("MAPI").GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)

I have since installed a newer version of Outlook and I have discovered that it does not use the default Inbox. For each of my email accounts, it created a separate store (named for the email address) each with its own Inbox. None of those Inboxes is the default.

This macro, outputs the name of the store holding the default Inbox to the Immediate Window:

Sub DsplUsernameOfDefaultStore()

  Dim NS As Outlook.NameSpace
  Dim DefaultInboxFldr As MAPIFolder

  Set NS = CreateObject("Outlook.Application").GetNamespace("MAPI")
  Set DefaultInboxFldr = NS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)

  Debug.Print DefaultInboxFldr.Parent.Name

End Sub

On my installation, this outputs: "Outlook Data File".

I have added an extra statement to macro "SaveEmailDetails" that shows how to access the Inbox of any store.

New introduction 1

A number of people have picked up the macro below, found it useful and have contacted me directly for further advice. Following these contacts I have made a few improvements to the macro so I have posted the revised version below. I have also added a pair of macros which together will return the MAPIFolder object for any folder with the Outlook hierarchy. These are useful if you wish to access other than a default folder.

The original text referenced one question by date which linked to an earlier question. The first question has been deleted so the link has been lost. That link was to Update excel sheet based on outlook mail (closed)

Original text

There are a surprising number of variations of the question: "How do I extract data from Outlook emails to Excel workbooks?" For example, two questions up on [outlook-vba] the same question was asked on 13 August. That question references a variation from December that I attempted to answer.

For the December question, I went overboard with a two part answer. The first part was a series of teaching macros that explored the Outlook folder structure and wrote data to text files or Excel workbooks. The second part discussed how to design the extraction process. For this question Siddarth has provided an excellent, succinct answer and then a follow-up to help with the next stage.

What the questioner of every variation appears unable to understand is that showing us what the data looks like on the screen does not tell us what the text or html body looks like. This answer is an attempt to get past that problem.

The macro below is more complicated than Siddarth’s but a lot simpler that those I included in my December answer. There is more that could be added but I think this is enough to start with.

The macro creates a new Excel workbook and outputs selected properties of every email in Inbox to create this worksheet:

Example of worksheet created by macro

Near the top of the macro there is a comment containing eight hashes (#). The statement below that comment must be changed because it identifies the folder in which the Excel workbook will be created.

All other comments containing hashes suggest amendments to adapt the macro to your requirements.

How are the emails from which data is to be extracted identified? Is it the sender, the subject, a string within the body or all of these? The comments provide some help in eliminating uninteresting emails. If I understand the question correctly, an interesting email will have Subject = "Task Completed".

The comments provide no help in extracting data from interesting emails but the worksheet shows both the text and html versions of the email body if they are present. My idea is that you can see what the macro will see and start designing the extraction process.

This is not shown in the screen image above but the macro outputs two versions on the text body. The first version is unchanged which means tab, carriage return, line feed are obeyed and any non-break spaces look like spaces. In the second version, I have replaced these codes with the strings [TB], [CR], [LF] and [NBSP] so they are visible. If my understanding is correct, I would expect to see the following within the second text body:

Activity[TAB]Count[CR][LF]Open[TAB]35[CR][LF]HCQA[TAB]42[CR][LF]HCQC[TAB]60[CR][LF]HAbst[TAB]50 45 5 2 2 1[CR][LF] and so on

Extracting the values from the original of this string should not be difficult.

I would try amending my macro to output the extracted values in addition to the email’s properties. Only when I have successfully achieved this change would I attempt to write the extracted data to an existing workbook. I would also move processed emails to a different folder. I have shown where these changes must be made but give no further help. I will respond to a supplementary question if you get to the point where you need this information.

Good luck.

How to get HTML 5 input type="date" working in Firefox and/or IE 10

Thank Alexander, I found a way how to modify format for en lang. (Didn't know which lang uses such format)

 $.webshims.formcfg = {
        en: {
            dFormat: '/',
            dateSigns: '/',
            patterns: {
                d: "yy/mm/dd"
            }
        }
     };

Laravel Eloquent ORM Transactions

If you don't like anonymous functions:

try {

    // database queries here
    DB::connection()->pdo->commit();
} catch (\PDOException $e) {
    // Woopsy
    DB::connection()->pdo->rollBack();
}

Update: For laravel 4, the pdo object isn't public anymore so:

try {
    DB::beginTransaction();
    // database queries here
    DB::commit();
} catch (\PDOException $e) {
    // Woopsy
    DB::rollBack();
}

Eclipse error: R cannot be resolved to a variable

The R file can't be generated if your layout contains errors. If your res folder is empty, then it's safe to assume that there's no res/layout folder with any layouts in it, but your activity is probably calling setContentView and not finding anything -- that qualifies as a problem with your layout.

How to implement a custom AlertDialog View

The simplest lines of code that works for me are are follows:

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
builder.setView(R.layout.layout_resource_id);
builder.show();

Whatever the type of layout(LinearLayout, FrameLayout, RelativeLayout) will work by setView and will just differ in the appearance and behavior.

applying css to specific li class

That's because of the <a> in there and not using the id which you do use a bit further to the top

Change it to:

#sub-navigation-home li.sub-navigation-home-news a 
{
 color: #C1C1C1;
 font-family: arial;
 font-size: 13.5px;
 text-align: center;
 text-transform:uppercase;
 padding: 0px 90px 0px 0px; 
}

and it will probably work

How to find a value in an excel column by vba code Cells.Find

Just for sake of completeness, you can also use the same technique above with excel tables.

In the example below, I'm looking of a text in any cell of a Excel Table named "tblConfig", place in the sheet named Config that normally is set to be hidden. I'm accepting the defaults of the Find method.

Dim list As ListObject
Dim config As Worksheet
Dim cell as Range


Set config = Sheets("Config")
Set list = config.ListObjects("tblConfig")

'search in any cell of the data range of excel table
Set cell = list.DataBodyRange.Find(searchTerm)

If cell Is Nothing Then
    'when information is not found
Else
    'when information is found
End If

How to access Spring MVC model object in javascript file?

Here is an example of how i made a list object available for javascript:

var listForJavascript = [];
<c:forEach items="${MyListFromJava}" var="listItem">
  var arr = [];

  arr.push("<c:out value="${listItem.param1}" />");
  arr.push("<c:out value="${listItem.param2}" />");

  listForJavascript.push(arr);
</c:forEach>

Java program to get the current date without timestamp

You could use

// Format a string containing a date.
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.GregorianCalendar;
import static java.util.Calendar.*;

Calendar c = GregorianCalendar.getInstance();
String s = String.format("Duke's Birthday: %1$tm %1$te,%1$tY", c);
// -> s == "Duke's Birthday: May 23, 1995"

Have a look at the Formatter API documentation.

How to escape special characters in building a JSON string?

The answer the direct question:
To be safe, replace the required character with \u+4-digit-hex-value

Example: If you want to escape the apostrophe ' replace with \u0027
D'Amico becomes D\u0027Amico

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

There isn't a single answer to this question as there are too many variables, but SHA2 is not yet really cracked (see: Lifetimes of cryptographic hash functions) so it is still a good algorithm to use to store passwords in. The use of salt is good because it prevents attack from dictionary attacks or rainbow tables. Importance of a salt is that it should be unique for each password. You can use a format like [128-bit salt][512-bit password hash] when storing the hashed passwords.

The only viable way to attack is to actually calculate hashes for different possibilities of password and eventually find the right one by matching the hashes.

To give an idea about how many hashes can be done in a second, I think Bitcoin is a decent example. Bitcoin uses SHA256 and to cut it short, the more hashes you generate, the more bitcoins you get (which you can trade for real money) and as such people are motivated to use GPUs for this purpose. You can see in the hardware overview that an average graphic card that costs only $150 can calculate more than 200 million hashes/s. The longer and more complex your password is, the longer time it will take. Calculating at 200M/s, to try all possibilities for an 8 character alphanumberic (capital, lower, numbers) will take around 300 hours. The real time will most likely less if the password is something eligible or a common english word.

As such with anything security you need to look at in context. What is the attacker's motivation? What is the kind of application? Having a hash with random salt for each gives pretty good protection against cases where something like thousands of passwords are compromised.

One thing you can do is also add additional brute force protection by slowing down the hashing procedure. As you only hash passwords once, and the attacker has to do it many times, this works in your favor. The typical way to do is to take a value, hash it, take the output, hash it again and so forth for a fixed amount of iterations. You can try something like 1,000 or 10,000 iterations for example. This will make it that many times times slower for the attacker to find each password.

scrollbars in JTextArea

As Fredrik mentions in his answer, the simple way to achieve this is to place the JTextArea in a JScrollPane. This will allow scrolling of the view area of the JTextArea.

Just for the sake of completeness, the following is how it could be achieved:

JTextArea ta = new JTextArea();
JScrollPane sp = new JScrollPane(ta);   // JTextArea is placed in a JScrollPane.

Once the JTextArea is included in the JScrollPane, the JScrollPane should be added to where the text area should be. In the following example, the text area with the scroll bars is added to a JFrame:

JFrame f = new JFrame();
f.getContentPane().add(sp);

Thank you kd304 for mentioning in the comments that one should add the JScrollPane to the container rather than the JTextArea -- I feel it's a common error to add the text area itself to the destination container rather than the scroll pane with text area.

How to "wait" a Thread in Android

You need the sleep method of the Thread class.

public static void sleep (long time)

Causes the thread which sent this message to sleep for the given interval of time (given in milliseconds). The precision is not guaranteed - the Thread may sleep more or less than requested.

Parameters

time The time to sleep in milliseconds.

How can I resolve the error: "The command [...] exited with code 1"?

Check your paths: If you are using a separate build server for TFS (most likely), make sure that all your paths in the .csproj file match the TFS server paths. I got the above error when checking in the *.csproj file when it had references to my development machine paths and not the TFS server paths.

Remove multi-line commands: Also, try and remove multi-line commands into single-line commands in xml as a precaution. I had the following xml in the *.proj that caused issues in TFS:

<Exec Condition="bl.." 
Command=" Blah...
..." </Exec>

Changing the above xml to this worked:

  <Exec Condition="bl.." Command=" Blah..." </Exec>

Get changes from master into branch in Git

EDIT:

My answer below documents a way to merge master into aq, where if you view the details of the merge it lists the changes made on aq prior to the merge, not the changes made on master. I've realised that that probably isn't what you want, even if you think it is!

Just:

git checkout aq
git merge master

is fine.

Yes, this simple merge will show that the changes from master were made to aq at that point, not the other way round; but that is okay – since that is what did happen! Later on, when you finally merge your branch into master, that is when a merge will finally show all your changes as made to master (which is exactly what you want, and is the commit where people are going to expect to find that info anyway).

I've checked and the approach below also shows exactly the same changes (all the changes made on aq since the original split between aq and master) as the normal approach above, when you finally merge everything back to master. So I think its only real disadvantage (apart from being over-complex and non-standard... :-/ ) is that if you wind back n recent changes with git reset --hard HEAD~<n> and this goes past the merge, then the version below rolls back down the 'wrong' branch, which you have to fix up by hand (e.g. with git reflog & git reset --hard [sha]).

[So, what I previously thought was that:]

There is a problem with:

git checkout aq
git merge master

because the changes shown in the merge commit (e.g. if you look now or later in Github, Bitbucket or your favourite local git history viewer) are the changes made on master, which may well not be what you want.

On the other hand

git checkout master
git merge aq

shows the changes made in aq, which probably is what you want. (Or, at least, it's often what I want!) But the merge showing the right changes is on the wrong branch!

How to cope?!

The full process, ending up with a merge commit showing the changes made on aq (as per the second merge above), but with the merge affecting the aq branch, is:

git checkout master
git merge aq
git checkout aq
git merge master
git checkout master
git reset --hard HEAD~1
git checkout aq

This: merges aq onto master, fast-forwards that same merge onto aq, undoes it on master, and puts you back on aq again!

I feel like I'm missing something - this seems to be something you'd obviously want, and something that's hard to do.

Also, rebase is NOT equivalent. It loses the timestamps and identity of the commits made on aq, which is also not what I want.

How to do a less than or equal to filter in Django queryset?

Less than or equal:

User.objects.filter(userprofile__level__lte=0)

Greater than or equal:

User.objects.filter(userprofile__level__gte=0)

Likewise, lt for less than and gt for greater than. You can find them all in the documentation.

Split string in C every white space

Something going wrong is get_words() always returning one less than the actual word count, so eventually you attempt to:

char *newbuff[words]; /* Words is one less than the actual number,
so this is declared to be too small. */

newbuff[count2] = (char *)malloc(strlen(buffer))

count2, eventually, is always one more than the number of elements you've declared for newbuff[]. Why malloc() isn't returning a valid ptr, though, I don't know.

Created Button Click Event c#

You need an event handler which will fire when the button is clicked. Here is a quick way -

  var button = new Button();
  button.Text = "my button";

  this.Controls.Add(button);

  button.Click += (sender, args) =>
                       {
                           MessageBox.Show("Some stuff");
                           Close();
                       };

But it would be better to understand a bit more about buttons, events, etc.

If you use the visual studio UI to create a button and double click the button in design mode, this will create your event and hook it up for you. You can then go to the designer code (the default will be Form1.Designer.cs) where you will find the event:

 this.button1.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.button1_Click);

You will also see a LOT of other information setup for the button, such as location, etc. - which will help you create one the way you want and will improve your understanding of creating UI elements. E.g. a default button gives this on my 2012 machine:

        this.button1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(128, 214);
        this.button1.Name = "button1";
        this.button1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(75, 23);
        this.button1.TabIndex = 1;
        this.button1.Text = "button1";
        this.button1.UseVisualStyleBackColor = true;

As for closing the Form, it is as easy as putting Close(); within your event handler:

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
       MessageBox.Show("some text");
       Close();
    }

How to make a <div> always full screen?

This is the trick I use. Good for responsive designs. Works perfectly when user tries to mess with browser resizing.

<head>
    <title></title>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
    <style type="text/css">
        #container {
            position: absolute;
            width: 100%;
            min-height: 100%;
            left: 0;
            top: 0;
        }
    </style>
</head>

<body>
    <div id="container">some content</div>
</body>

How to iterate over the keys and values with ng-repeat in AngularJS?

I don't think there's a builtin function in angular for doing this, but you can do this by creating a separate scope property containing all the header names, and you can fill this property automatically like this:

var data = {
  foo: 'a',
  bar: 'b'
};

$scope.objectHeaders = [];

for ( property in data ) {
  $scope.objectHeaders.push(property); 
}

// Output: [ 'foo', 'bar' ]

How do I use WebRequest to access an SSL encrypted site using https?

You're doing it the correct way but users may be providing urls to sites that have invalid SSL certs installed. You can ignore those cert problems if you put this line in before you make the actual web request:

ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = new System.Net.Security.RemoteCertificateValidationCallback(AcceptAllCertifications);

where AcceptAllCertifications is defined as

public bool AcceptAllCertifications(object sender, System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate certification, System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Chain chain, System.Net.Security.SslPolicyErrors sslPolicyErrors)
{
    return true;
}

Accessing attributes from an AngularJS directive

Although using '@' is more appropriate than using '=' for your particular scenario, sometimes I use '=' so that I don't have to remember to use attrs.$observe():

<su-label tooltip="field.su_documentation">{{field.su_name}}</su-label>

Directive:

myApp.directive('suLabel', function() {
    return {
        restrict: 'E',
        replace: true,
        transclude: true,
        scope: {
            title: '=tooltip'
        },
        template: '<label><a href="#" rel="tooltip" title="{{title}}" data-placement="right" ng-transclude></a></label>',
        link: function(scope, element, attrs) {
            if (scope.title) {
                element.addClass('tooltip-title');
            }
        },
    }
});

Fiddle.

With '=' we get two-way databinding, so care must be taken to ensure scope.title is not accidentally modified in the directive. The advantage is that during the linking phase, the local scope property (scope.title) is defined.

ImportError: No module named BeautifulSoup

I had the same problem with eclipse on windows 10.

I installed it like recommende over the windows command window (cmd) with:

C:\Users\NAMEOFUSER\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\beautifulsoup4-4.8.2\setup.py install

BeautifulSoup was install like this in my python directory:

C:\Users\NAMEOFUSE\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\Lib\site-packages\beautifulsoup4-4.8.2-py3.8.egg

After manually coping the bs4 and EGG-INFO folders into the site-packages folder everything started to work, also the example:

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup


html = """
    <html>
        <body>
            <p> Ich bin ein Absatz!</p>
        </body>

"""
print(html)


soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'html.parser')

print(soup.find_all("p"))

View content of H2 or HSQLDB in-memory database

In H2, what works for me is:

I code, starting the server like:

server = Server.createTcpServer().start();

That starts the server on localhost port 9092.

Then, in code, establish a DB connection on the following JDBC URL:

jdbc:h2:tcp://localhost:9092/mem:test;DB_CLOSE_DELAY=-1;MODE=MySQL

While debugging, as a client to inspect the DB I use the one provided by H2, which is good enough, to launch it you just need to launch the following java main separately

org.h2.tools.Console

This will start a web server with an app on 8082, launch a browser on localhost:8082

And then you can enter the previous URL to see the DB

How to get text of an input text box during onKeyPress?

Try to concatenate the event charCode to the value you get. Here is a sample of my code:

<input type="text" name="price" onkeypress="return (cnum(event,this))" maxlength="10">
<p id="demo"></p>

js:

function cnum(event, str) {
    var a = event.charCode;
    var ab = str.value + String.fromCharCode(a);
    document.getElementById('demo').innerHTML = ab;
}

The value in ab will get the latest value in the input field.

How to stop event bubbling on checkbox click

In angularjs this should works:

event.preventDefault(); 
event.stopPropagation();

R: += (plus equals) and ++ (plus plus) equivalent from c++/c#/java, etc.?

Following @GregaKešpret you can make an infix operator:

`%+=%` = function(e1,e2) eval.parent(substitute(e1 <- e1 + e2))
x = 1
x %+=% 2 ; x

What is the difference between a stored procedure and a view?

@Patrick is correct with what he said, but to answer your other questions a View will create itself in Memory, and depending on the type of Joins, Data and if there is any aggregation done, it could be a quite memory hungry View.

Stored procedures do all their processing either using Temp Hash Table e.g #tmpTable1 or in memory using @tmpTable1. Depending on what you want to tell it to do.

A Stored Procedure is like a Function, but is called Directly by its name. instead of Functions which are actually used inside a query itself.

Obviously most of the time Memory tables are faster, if you are not retrieveing alot of data.

Javascript loading CSV file into an array

This is what I used to use a csv file into an array. Couldn't get the above answers to work, but this worked for me.

$(document).ready(function() {
   "use strict";
    $.ajax({
        type: "GET",
        url: "../files/icd10List.csv",
        dataType: "text",
        success: function(data) {processData(data);}

});

function processData(icd10Codes) {
    "use strict";
    var input = $.csv.toArrays(icd10Codes);
    $("#test").append(input);
}

Used the jQuery-CSV Plug-in linked above.

How do you set the title color for the new Toolbar?

Setting app:titleTextColor on my android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar works for me on Android 4.4 and on 6.0 too with com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.0:

<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
    android:id="@+id/toolbar"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
    android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
    app:titleTextColor="@android:color/white" />

Gradient of n colors ranging from color 1 and color 2

Just to expand on the previous answer colorRampPalettecan handle more than two colors.

So for a more expanded "heat map" type look you can....

colfunc<-colorRampPalette(c("red","yellow","springgreen","royalblue"))
plot(rep(1,50),col=(colfunc(50)), pch=19,cex=2)

The resulting image:

Alternative to header("Content-type: text/xml");

Now I see what you are doing. You cannot send output to the screen then change the headers. If you are trying to create an XML file of map marker and download them to display, they should be in separate files.

Take this

<?php
require("database.php");
function parseToXML($htmlStr)
{
$xmlStr=str_replace('<','&lt;',$htmlStr);
$xmlStr=str_replace('>','&gt;',$xmlStr);
$xmlStr=str_replace('"','&quot;',$xmlStr);
$xmlStr=str_replace("'",'&#39;',$xmlStr);
$xmlStr=str_replace("&",'&amp;',$xmlStr);
return $xmlStr;
}
// Opens a connection to a MySQL server
$connection=mysql_connect (localhost, $username, $password);
if (!$connection) {
  die('Not connected : ' . mysql_error());
}
// Set the active MySQL database
$db_selected = mysql_select_db($database, $connection);
if (!$db_selected) {
  die ('Can\'t use db : ' . mysql_error());
}
// Select all the rows in the markers table
$query = "SELECT * FROM markers WHERE 1";
$result = mysql_query($query);
if (!$result) {
  die('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error());
}
header("Content-type: text/xml");
// Start XML file, echo parent node
echo '<markers>';
// Iterate through the rows, printing XML nodes for each
while ($row = @mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
  // ADD TO XML DOCUMENT NODE
  echo '<marker ';
  echo 'name="' . parseToXML($row['name']) . '" ';
  echo 'address="' . parseToXML($row['address']) . '" ';
  echo 'lat="' . $row['lat'] . '" ';
  echo 'lng="' . $row['lng'] . '" ';
  echo 'type="' . $row['type'] . '" ';
  echo '/>';
}
// End XML file
echo '</markers>';
?>

and place it in phpsqlajax_genxml.php so your javascript can download the XML file. You are trying to do too many things in the same file.

How to make Unicode charset in cmd.exe by default?

Save the following into a file with ".reg" suffix:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console\%SystemRoot%_system32_cmd.exe]
"CodePage"=dword:0000fde9

Double click this file, and regedit will import it.

It basically sets the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console\%SystemRoot%_system32_cmd.exe\CodePage to 0xfde9 (65001 in decimal system).

Readably print out a python dict() sorted by key

Actually pprint seems to sort the keys for you under python2.5

>>> from pprint import pprint
>>> mydict = {'a':1, 'b':2, 'c':3}
>>> pprint(mydict)
{'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3}
>>> mydict = {'a':1, 'b':2, 'c':3, 'd':4, 'e':5}
>>> pprint(mydict)
{'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3, 'd': 4, 'e': 5}
>>> d = dict(zip("kjihgfedcba",range(11)))
>>> pprint(d)
{'a': 10,
 'b': 9,
 'c': 8,
 'd': 7,
 'e': 6,
 'f': 5,
 'g': 4,
 'h': 3,
 'i': 2,
 'j': 1,
 'k': 0}

But not always under python 2.4

>>> from pprint import pprint
>>> mydict = {'a':1, 'b':2, 'c':3, 'd':4, 'e':5}
>>> pprint(mydict)
{'a': 1, 'c': 3, 'b': 2, 'e': 5, 'd': 4}
>>> d = dict(zip("kjihgfedcba",range(11)))
>>> pprint(d)
{'a': 10,
 'b': 9,
 'c': 8,
 'd': 7,
 'e': 6,
 'f': 5,
 'g': 4,
 'h': 3,
 'i': 2,
 'j': 1,
 'k': 0}
>>>

Reading the source code of pprint.py (2.5) it does sort the dictionary using

items = object.items()
items.sort()

for multiline or this for single line

for k, v in sorted(object.items()):

before it attempts to print anything, so if your dictionary sorts properly like that then it should pprint properly. In 2.4 the second sorted() is missing (didn't exist then) so objects printed on a single line won't be sorted.

So the answer appears to be use python2.5, though this doesn't quite explain your output in the question.

Python3 Update

Pretty print by sorted keys (lambda x: x[0]):

for key, value in sorted(dict_example.items(), key=lambda x: x[0]): 
    print("{} : {}".format(key, value))

Pretty print by sorted values (lambda x: x[1]):

for key, value in sorted(dict_example.items(), key=lambda x: x[1]): 
    print("{} : {}".format(key, value))

PostgreSQL function for last inserted ID

You can use RETURNING id after insert query.

INSERT INTO distributors (id, name) VALUES (DEFAULT, 'ALI') RETURNING id;

and result:

 id 
----
  1

In the above example id is auto-increment filed.

Difference between MongoDB and Mongoose

Mongodb and Mongoose are two different drivers to interact with MongoDB database.

Mongoose : object data modeling (ODM) library that provides a rigorous modeling environment for your data. Used to interact with MongoDB, it makes life easier by providing convenience in managing data.

Mongodb: native driver in Node.js to interact with MongoDB.

Initializing IEnumerable<string> In C#

IEnumerable<T> is an interface. You need to initiate with a concrete type (that implements IEnumerable<T>). Example:

IEnumerable<string> m_oEnum = new List<string>() { "1", "2", "3"};

Regular Expression for alphanumeric and underscores

For those of you looking for unicode alphanumeric matching, you might want to do something like:

"Uncaught Error: [$injector:unpr]" with angular after deployment

I had the same problem but the issue was a different one, I was trying to create a service and pass $scope to it as a parameter.
That's another way to get this error as the documentation of that link says:

Attempting to inject a scope object into anything that's not a controller or a directive, for example a service, will also throw an Unknown provider: $scopeProvider <- $scope error. This might happen if one mistakenly registers a controller as a service, ex.:

angular.module('myModule', [])
       .service('MyController', ['$scope', function($scope) {
        // This controller throws an unknown provider error because
        // a scope object cannot be injected into a service.
}]);

Disable and later enable all table indexes in Oracle

You can disable constraints in Oracle but not indexes. There's a command to make an index ununsable but you have to rebuild the index anyway, so I'd probably just write a script to drop and rebuild the indexes. You can use the user_indexes and user_ind_columns to get all the indexes for a schema or use dbms_metadata:

select dbms_metadata.get_ddl('INDEX', u.index_name) from user_indexes u;

Connecting to remote URL which requires authentication using Java

You can set the default authenticator for http requests like this:

Authenticator.setDefault (new Authenticator() {
    protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
        return new PasswordAuthentication ("username", "password".toCharArray());
    }
});

Also, if you require more flexibility, you can check out the Apache HttpClient, which will give you more authentication options (as well as session support, etc.)

How can I loop through all rows of a table? (MySQL)

CURSORS are an option here, but generally frowned upon as they often do not make best use of the query engine. Consider investigating 'SET Based Queries' to see if you can achieve what it is you want to do without using a CURSOR.

Difference between map and collect in Ruby?

~~I've been told~~ they are the same.

Actually they are documented in the same place under ruby-doc.org:

http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/classes/Array.html#M000249

ary.collect {|item| block } ? new_ary

ary.map {|item| block } ? new_ary

ary.collect ? an_enumerator

ary.map ? an_enumerator

Invokes block once for each element of self. Creates a new array containing the values returned by the block. See also Enumerable#collect.
If no block is given, an enumerator is returned instead.
a = [ "a", "b", "c", "d" ]
a.collect {|x| x + "!" }   #=> ["a!", "b!", "c!", "d!"]
a                          #=> ["a", "b", "c", "d"]

Better way to convert file sizes in Python

Here are some easy-to-copy one liners to use if you already know what unit size you want. If you're looking for in a more generic function with a few nice options, see my FEB 2021 update further on...

Bytes

print ('{:,.0f}'.format(os.path.getsize(filepath))+" B")

Kilobits

print ('{:,.0f}'.format(os.path.getsize(filepath)/float(1<<7))+" kb")

Kilobytes

print ('{:,.0f}'.format(os.path.getsize(filepath)/float(1<<10))+" KB")

Megabits

print ('{:,.0f}'.format(os.path.getsize(filepath)/float(1<<17))+" mb")

Megabytes

print ('{:,.0f}'.format(os.path.getsize(filepath)/float(1<<20))+" MB")

Gigabits

print ('{:,.0f}'.format(os.path.getsize(filepath)/float(1<<27))+" gb")

Gigabytes

print ('{:,.0f}'.format(os.path.getsize(filepath)/float(1<<30))+" GB")

Terabytes

print ('{:,.0f}'.format(os.path.getsize(filepath)/float(1<<40))+" TB")

UPDATE FEB 2021 Here are my updated and fleshed-out functions to a) get file/folder size, b) convert into desired units:

from pathlib import Path

def get_path_size(path = Path('.'), recursive=False):

How to shut down the computer from C#

Taken from: a Geekpedia post

This method uses WMI to shutdown windows.

You'll need to add a reference to System.Management to your project to use this.

using System.Management;

void Shutdown()
{
    ManagementBaseObject mboShutdown = null;
    ManagementClass mcWin32 = new ManagementClass("Win32_OperatingSystem");
    mcWin32.Get();

    // You can't shutdown without security privileges
    mcWin32.Scope.Options.EnablePrivileges = true;
    ManagementBaseObject mboShutdownParams =
             mcWin32.GetMethodParameters("Win32Shutdown");

     // Flag 1 means we want to shut down the system. Use "2" to reboot.
    mboShutdownParams["Flags"] = "1";
    mboShutdownParams["Reserved"] = "0";
    foreach (ManagementObject manObj in mcWin32.GetInstances())
    {
        mboShutdown = manObj.InvokeMethod("Win32Shutdown", 
                                       mboShutdownParams, null);
    }
}

How to search a list of tuples in Python

You can use a list comprehension:

>>> [x[0] for x in a]
[1, 22, 53, 44]
>>> [x[0] for x in a].index(53)

How to ISO 8601 format a Date with Timezone Offset in JavaScript?

No moment.js needed: Here's a full round trip answer, from an input type of "datetime-local" which outputs an ISOLocal string to UTCseconds at GMT and back:

<input type="datetime-local" value="2020-02-16T19:30">

isoLocal="2020-02-16T19:30"
utcSeconds=new Date(isoLocal).getTime()/1000

//here you have 1581899400 for utcSeconds

let isoLocal=new Date(utcSeconds*1000-new Date().getTimezoneOffset()*60000).toISOString().substring(0,16)
2020-02-16T19:30

Best way to serialize/unserialize objects in JavaScript?

I wrote serialijse because I faced the same problem as you.

you can find it at https://github.com/erossignon/serialijse

It can be used in nodejs or in a browser and can serve to serialize and deserialize a complex set of objects from one context (nodejs) to the other (browser) or vice-versa.

var s = require("serialijse");


var assert = require("assert");

    var o = {
        date: new Date(),

    // JSON will fail as JSON doesn't preserve dates
    try {
        var jstr = JSON.stringify(o);
        var jo = JSON.parse(jstr);
        console.log(jo.name, jo.date.toISOString());
    } catch (err) {
        console.log(" JSON has failed to preserve Date during stringify/parse ");
        console.log("  and has generated the following error message", err.message);
    }
    console.log("");



    var str = s.serialize(o);
    var so = s.deserialize(str);
    console.log(" However Serialijse knows how to preserve date during serialization/deserialization :");
    console.log(so.name, so.date.toISOString());

    };


    // testing serialization using  JSON.stringify/JSON.parse

Regex to get NUMBER only from String

The answers above are great. If you are in need of parsing all numbers out of a string that are nonconsecutive then the following may be of some help:

string input = "1-205-330-2342";
string result = Regex.Replace(input, @"[^\d]", "");
Console.WriteLine(result); // >> 12053302342

JSON.Net Self referencing loop detected

I just had the same problem with Parent/Child collections and found that post which has solved my case. I Only wanted to show the List of parent collection items and didn't need any of the child data, therefore i used the following and it worked fine:

JsonConvert.SerializeObject(ResultGroups, Formatting.None,
                        new JsonSerializerSettings()
                        { 
                            ReferenceLoopHandling = ReferenceLoopHandling.Ignore
                        });

it also referes to the Json.NET codeplex page at:

What does the 'u' symbol mean in front of string values?

The 'u' in front of the string values means the string is a Unicode string. Unicode is a way to represent more characters than normal ASCII can manage. The fact that you're seeing the u means you're on Python 2 - strings are Unicode by default on Python 3, but on Python 2, the u in front distinguishes Unicode strings. The rest of this answer will focus on Python 2.

You can create a Unicode string multiple ways:

>>> u'foo'
u'foo'
>>> unicode('foo') # Python 2 only
u'foo'

But the real reason is to represent something like this (translation here):

>>> val = u'???????????? ? ?????????????'
>>> val
u'\u041e\u0437\u043d\u0430\u043a\u043e\u043c\u044c\u0442\u0435\u0441\u044c \u0441 \u0434\u043e\u043a\u0443\u043c\u0435\u043d\u0442\u0430\u0446\u0438\u0435\u0439'
>>> print val
???????????? ? ?????????????

For the most part, Unicode and non-Unicode strings are interoperable on Python 2.

There are other symbols you will see, such as the "raw" symbol r for telling a string not to interpret backslashes. This is extremely useful for writing regular expressions.

>>> 'foo\"'
'foo"'
>>> r'foo\"'
'foo\\"'

Unicode and non-Unicode strings can be equal on Python 2:

>>> bird1 = unicode('unladen swallow')
>>> bird2 = 'unladen swallow'
>>> bird1 == bird2
True

but not on Python 3:

>>> x = u'asdf' # Python 3
>>> y = b'asdf' # b indicates bytestring
>>> x == y
False

HTML5 Canvas background image

Make sure that in case your image is not in the dom, and you get it from local directory or server, you should wait for the image to load and just after that to draw it on the canvas.

something like that:

function drawBgImg() {
    let bgImg = new Image();
    bgImg.src = '/images/1.jpg';
    bgImg.onload = () => {
        gCtx.drawImage(bgImg, 0, 0, gElCanvas.width, gElCanvas.height);
    }
}
