Programs & Examples On #Exp

The Exponential - aka exp(x) function

How can I use "e" (Euler's number) and power operation in python 2.7

Power is ** and e^ is math.exp:

x.append(1 - math.exp(-0.5 * (value1*value2)**2))

How to represent e^(-t^2) in MATLAB?

All the 3 first ways are identical. You have make sure that if t is a matrix you add . before using multiplication or the power.

for matrix:

t= [1 2 3;2 3 4;3 4 5];
tp=t.*t;
x=exp(-(t.^2));
y=exp(-(t.*t));
z=exp(-(tp));

gives the results:

x =

0.3679    0.0183    0.0001
0.0183    0.0001    0.0000
0.0001    0.0000    0.0000

y =

0.3679    0.0183    0.0001
0.0183    0.0001    0.0000
0.0001    0.0000    0.0000

z=

0.3679    0.0183    0.0001
0.0183    0.0001    0.0000
0.0001    0.0000    0.0000

And using a scalar:

p=3;
pp=p^2;
x=exp(-(p^2));
y=exp(-(p*p));
z=exp(-pp);

gives the results:

x =

1.2341e-004

y =

1.2341e-004

z =

1.2341e-004

What exactly does numpy.exp() do?

exp(x) = e^x where e= 2.718281(approx)

import numpy as np

ar=np.array([1,2,3])
ar=np.exp(ar)
print ar

outputs:

[ 2.71828183  7.3890561  20.08553692]

test if event handler is bound to an element in jQuery

This solution is no more supported since jQuery 1.8 as we can read on the blog here:

$(element).data(“events”): This is now removed in 1.8, but you can still get to the events data for debugging purposes via $._data(element, "events"). Note that this is not a supported public interface; the actual data structures may change incompatibly from version to version.

So, you should unbind/rebind it or simply, use a boolean to determine if your event as been attached or not (which is in my opinion the best solution).

SQL JOIN vs IN performance?

This Thread is pretty old but still mentioned often. For my personal taste it is a bit incomplete, because there is another way to ask the database with the EXISTS keyword which I found to be faster more often than not.

So if you are only interested in values from table a you can use this query:

SELECT  a.*
FROM    a
WHERE   EXISTS (
    SELECT  *
    FROM    b
    WHERE   b.col = a.col
    )

The difference might be huge if col is not indexed, because the db does not have to find all records in b which have the same value in col, it only has to find the very first one. If there is no index on b.col and a lot of records in b a table scan might be the consequence. With IN or a JOIN this would be a full table scan, with EXISTS this would be only a partial table scan (until the first matching record is found).

If there a lots of records in b which have the same col value you will also waste a lot of memory for reading all these records into a temporary space just to find that your condition is satisfied. With exists this can be usually avoided.

I have often found EXISTS faster then IN even if there is an index. It depends on the database system (the optimizer), the data and last not least on the type of index which is used.

You were mixing up two different worlds.

Find all matches in workbook using Excel VBA

Using the Range.Find method, as pointed out above, along with a loop for each worksheet in the workbook, is the fastest way to do this. The following, for example, locates the string "Question?" in each worksheet and replaces it with the string "Answered!".

Sub FindAndExecute()

Dim Sh As Worksheet
Dim Loc As Range

For Each Sh In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
    With Sh.UsedRange
        Set Loc = .Cells.Find(What:="Question?")
        If Not Loc Is Nothing Then
            Do Until Loc Is Nothing
                Loc.Value = "Answered!"
                Set Loc = .FindNext(Loc)
            Loop
        End If
    End With
    Set Loc = Nothing
Next

End Sub

How to change background color in the Notepad++ text editor?

You may need admin access to do it on your system.

  1. Create a folder 'themes' in the Notepad++ installation folder i.e. C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++
  2. Search or visit pages like http://timtrott.co.uk/notepad-colour-schemes/ to download the favourite theme. It will be an SML file.
    • Note: I prefer Neon any day.
  3. Download the themes from the site and drag them to the themes folder.
    • Note: I was unable to copy-paste or create new files in 'themes' folder so I used drag and that worked.
  4. Follow the steps provided by @triforceofcourage to select the new theme in Notepad++ preferences.

How To Auto-Format / Indent XML/HTML in Notepad++

I'm using Notepad 7.6 with "Plugin Admin" and I could not find XML Tools.
I had to install it manually like @some-java-guy did in his answer except that my plugins folder was located here: C:\Users\<my username>\AppData\Local\Notepad++\plugins
In that directory I created a new directory (named XmlTools) and copied XMLTools.dll there. (And I copied all dependencies to the Notepad++ directory in Program files.)

Jenkins Git Plugin: How to build specific tag?

Adding my two cents here since I have not seen an answer that uses the option "Build with parameters" in Jenkins.

Here I am using Jenkins CI browser console for project starwars_api and I was able to build directly with "Build with parameters" with value refs/tags/tag-name

  1. choose the "build with parameters" option.
  2. add value in the box as "refs/tags/tag_142" (tag_name = tag_142 for my example)

How to specify "does not contain" in dplyr filter

Try putting the search condition in a bracket, as shown below. This returns the result of the conditional query inside the bracket. Then test its result to determine if it is negative (i.e. it does not belong to any of the options in the vector), by setting it to FALSE.

SE_CSVLinelist_filtered <- filter(SE_CSVLinelist_clean, 
(where_case_travelled_1 %in% c('Outside Canada','Outside province/territory of residence but within Canada')) == FALSE)

How to sum digits of an integer in java?

You can do it using Recursion

//Sum of digits till single digit is obtained
public int sumOfDigits(int num) 
        {
            int sum = 0;

            while (num > 0)
            {
                sum = sum + num % 10;
                num = num / 10;
            }

            sum = (sum <10) ? sum : sumOfDigits(sum);

            return sum;
        }

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

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

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

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

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

Using UPDATE in stored procedure with optional parameters

UPDATE tbl_ClientNotes 
SET ordering=@ordering, title=@title, content=@content 
WHERE id=@id 
AND @ordering IS NOT NULL
AND @title IS NOT NULL
AND @content IS NOT NULL

Or if you meant you only want to update individual columns you would use the post above mine. I read it as do not update if any values are null

Make file echo displaying "$PATH" string

In the manual for GNU make, they talk about this specific example when describing the value function:

The value function provides a way for you to use the value of a variable without having it expanded. Please note that this does not undo expansions which have already occurred; for example if you create a simply expanded variable its value is expanded during the definition; in that case the value function will return the same result as using the variable directly.

The syntax of the value function is:

 $(value variable)

Note that variable is the name of a variable; not a reference to that variable. Therefore you would not normally use a ‘$’ or parentheses when writing it. (You can, however, use a variable reference in the name if you want the name not to be a constant.)

The result of this function is a string containing the value of variable, without any expansion occurring. For example, in this makefile:

 FOO = $PATH

 all:
         @echo $(FOO)
         @echo $(value FOO)

The first output line would be ATH, since the “$P” would be expanded as a make variable, while the second output line would be the current value of your $PATH environment variable, since the value function avoided the expansion.

Eclipse: The declared package does not match the expected package

I just ran into this problem, and since Mr. Skeet's solution did not work for me, I'll share how I solved this problem.

It turns out that I opened the java file under the 'src' before declaring it a source directory.

After right clicking on the 'src' directory in eclipse, selecting 'build path', and then 'Use as Source Folder'

Close and reopen the already opened java file (F5 refreshing it did not work).

Provided the path to the java file from "prefix1" onwards lines up with the package in the file (example from the requester's question prefix1.prefix.packagename2). This should work

Eclipse should no longer complain about 'src.'

JSF(Primefaces) ajax update of several elements by ID's

If the to-be-updated component is not inside the same NamingContainer component (ui:repeat, h:form, h:dataTable, etc), then you need to specify the "absolute" client ID. Prefix with : (the default NamingContainer separator character) to start from root.

<p:ajax process="@this" update="count :subTotal"/>

To be sure, check the client ID of the subTotal component in the generated HTML for the actual value. If it's inside for example a h:form as well, then it's prefixed with its client ID as well and you would need to fix it accordingly.

<p:ajax process="@this" update="count :formId:subTotal"/>

Space separation of IDs is more recommended as <f:ajax> doesn't support comma separation and starters would otherwise get confused.

ASP.NET MVC How to pass JSON object from View to Controller as Parameter

You say "I am not using a forms to manipulate the data." But you are doing a POST. Therefore, you are, in fact, using a form, even if it's empty.

$.ajax's dataType tells jQuery what type the server will return, not what you are passing. POST can only pass a form. jQuery will convert data to key/value pairs and pass it as a query string. From the docs:

Data to be sent to the server. It is converted to a query string, if not already a string. It's appended to the url for GET-requests. See processData option to prevent this automatic processing. Object must be Key/Value pairs. If value is an Array, jQuery serializes multiple values with same key i.e. {foo:["bar1", "bar2"]} becomes '&foo=bar1&foo=bar2'.

Therefore:

  1. You aren't passing JSON to the server. You're passing JSON to jQuery.
  2. Model binding happens in the same way it happens in any other case.

Why am I getting ImportError: No module named pip ' right after installing pip?

If you wrote

pip install --upgrade pip

and you got

Installing collected packages: pip
  Attempting uninstall: pip
    Found existing installation: pip 20.2.1
    Uninstalling pip-20.2.1:
ERROR: Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError...

then you have uninstalled pip instead install pip. This could be the reason of your problem.

The Gorodeckij Dimitrij's answer works for me.

Is there a "not equal" operator in Python?

There are two operators in Python for the "not equal" condition -

a.) != If values of the two operands are not equal, then the condition becomes true. (a != b) is true.

b.) <> If values of the two operands are not equal, then the condition becomes true. (a <> b) is true. This is similar to the != operator.

Collapsing Sidebar with Bootstrap

Via Angular: using ng-class of Angular, we can hide and show the side bar.

http://jsfiddle.net/DVE4f/359/

<div class="container" style="width:100%" ng-app ng-controller="AppCtrl">
<div class="row">
    <div ng-class="showgraphSidebar ? 'col-xs-3' : 'hidden'" id="colPush" >
        Sidebar
    </div>
    <div ng-class="showgraphSidebar ? 'col-xs-9' : 'col-xs-12'"  id="colMain"  >
        <button  ng-click='toggle()' >Sidebar Toggle</a>
    </div>    
  </div>
</div>

.

function AppCtrl($scope) {
    $scope.showgraphSidebar = false;
    $scope.toggle = function() {
        $scope.showgraphSidebar = !$scope.showgraphSidebar;
    }
}

How do I use $scope.$watch and $scope.$apply in AngularJS?

I found very in-depth videos which cover $watch, $apply, $digest and digest cycles in:

Following are a couple of slides used in those videos to explain the concepts (just in case, if the above links are removed/not working).

Enter image description here

In the above image, "$scope.c" is not being watched as it is not used in any of the data bindings (in markup). The other two ($scope.a and $scope.b) will be watched.

Enter image description here

From the above image: Based on the respective browser event, AngularJS captures the event, performs digest cycle (goes through all the watches for changes), execute watch functions and update the DOM. If not browser events, the digest cycle can be manually triggered using $apply or $digest.

How to automatically import data from uploaded CSV or XLS file into Google Sheets

You can programmatically import data from a csv file in your Drive into an existing Google Sheet using Google Apps Script, replacing/appending data as needed.

Below is some sample code. It assumes that: a) you have a designated folder in your Drive where the CSV file is saved/uploaded to; b) the CSV file is named "report.csv" and the data in it comma-delimited; and c) the CSV data is imported into a designated spreadsheet. See comments in code for further details.

function importData() {
  var fSource = DriveApp.getFolderById(reports_folder_id); // reports_folder_id = id of folder where csv reports are saved
  var fi = fSource.getFilesByName('report.csv'); // latest report file
  var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById(data_sheet_id); // data_sheet_id = id of spreadsheet that holds the data to be updated with new report data

  if ( fi.hasNext() ) { // proceed if "report.csv" file exists in the reports folder
    var file = fi.next();
    var csv = file.getBlob().getDataAsString();
    var csvData = CSVToArray(csv); // see below for CSVToArray function
    var newsheet = ss.insertSheet('NEWDATA'); // create a 'NEWDATA' sheet to store imported data
    // loop through csv data array and insert (append) as rows into 'NEWDATA' sheet
    for ( var i=0, lenCsv=csvData.length; i<lenCsv; i++ ) {
      newsheet.getRange(i+1, 1, 1, csvData[i].length).setValues(new Array(csvData[i]));
    }
    /*
    ** report data is now in 'NEWDATA' sheet in the spreadsheet - process it as needed,
    ** then delete 'NEWDATA' sheet using ss.deleteSheet(newsheet)
    */
    // rename the report.csv file so it is not processed on next scheduled run
    file.setName("report-"+(new Date().toString())+".csv");
  }
};


// http://www.bennadel.com/blog/1504-Ask-Ben-Parsing-CSV-Strings-With-Javascript-Exec-Regular-Expression-Command.htm
// This will parse a delimited string into an array of
// arrays. The default delimiter is the comma, but this
// can be overriden in the second argument.

function CSVToArray( strData, strDelimiter ) {
  // Check to see if the delimiter is defined. If not,
  // then default to COMMA.
  strDelimiter = (strDelimiter || ",");

  // Create a regular expression to parse the CSV values.
  var objPattern = new RegExp(
    (
      // Delimiters.
      "(\\" + strDelimiter + "|\\r?\\n|\\r|^)" +

      // Quoted fields.
      "(?:\"([^\"]*(?:\"\"[^\"]*)*)\"|" +

      // Standard fields.
      "([^\"\\" + strDelimiter + "\\r\\n]*))"
    ),
    "gi"
  );

  // Create an array to hold our data. Give the array
  // a default empty first row.
  var arrData = [[]];

  // Create an array to hold our individual pattern
  // matching groups.
  var arrMatches = null;

  // Keep looping over the regular expression matches
  // until we can no longer find a match.
  while (arrMatches = objPattern.exec( strData )){

    // Get the delimiter that was found.
    var strMatchedDelimiter = arrMatches[ 1 ];

    // Check to see if the given delimiter has a length
    // (is not the start of string) and if it matches
    // field delimiter. If id does not, then we know
    // that this delimiter is a row delimiter.
    if (
      strMatchedDelimiter.length &&
      (strMatchedDelimiter != strDelimiter)
    ){

      // Since we have reached a new row of data,
      // add an empty row to our data array.
      arrData.push( [] );

    }

    // Now that we have our delimiter out of the way,
    // let's check to see which kind of value we
    // captured (quoted or unquoted).
    if (arrMatches[ 2 ]){

      // We found a quoted value. When we capture
      // this value, unescape any double quotes.
      var strMatchedValue = arrMatches[ 2 ].replace(
        new RegExp( "\"\"", "g" ),
        "\""
      );

    } else {

      // We found a non-quoted value.
      var strMatchedValue = arrMatches[ 3 ];

    }

    // Now that we have our value string, let's add
    // it to the data array.
    arrData[ arrData.length - 1 ].push( strMatchedValue );
  }

  // Return the parsed data.
  return( arrData );
};

You can then create time-driven trigger in your script project to run importData() function on a regular basis (e.g. every night at 1AM), so all you have to do is put new report.csv file into the designated Drive folder, and it will be automatically processed on next scheduled run.

If you absolutely MUST work with Excel files instead of CSV, then you can use this code below. For it to work you must enable Drive API in Advanced Google Services in your script and in Developers Console (see How to Enable Advanced Services for details).

How to ignore the first line of data when processing CSV data?

The new 'pandas' package might be more relevant than 'csv'. The code below will read a CSV file, by default interpreting the first line as the column header and find the minimum across columns.

data = pd.read_csv('all16.csv')
data.min()

passing argument to DialogFragment

In my case, none of the code above with bundle-operate works; Here is my decision (I don't know if it is proper code or not, but it works in my case):

public class DialogMessageType extends DialogFragment {
    private static String bodyText;

    public static DialogMessageType addSomeString(String temp){
        DialogMessageType f = new DialogMessageType();
        bodyText = temp;
        return f;
    };

    @Override
    public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        final String[] choiseArray = {"sms", "email"};
        String title = "Send text via:";
        final AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());
        builder.setTitle(title).setItems(choiseArray, itemClickListener);
        builder.setCancelable(true);
        return builder.create();
    }

    DialogInterface.OnClickListener itemClickListener = new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
            switch (which){
                case 0:
                    prepareToSendCoordsViaSMS(bodyText);
                    dialog.dismiss();
                    break;
                case 1:
                    prepareToSendCoordsViaEmail(bodyText);
                    dialog.dismiss();
                    break;
                default:
                    break;
            }
        }
    };
[...]
}

public class SendObjectActivity extends FragmentActivity {

DialogMessageType dialogMessageType = DialogMessageType.addSomeString(stringToSend);

CSS media query to target only iOS devices

Yes, you can.

@supports (-webkit-touch-callout: none) {
  /* CSS specific to iOS devices */ 
}

@supports not (-webkit-touch-callout: none) {
  /* CSS for other than iOS devices */ 
}

YMMV.

It works because only Safari Mobile implements -webkit-touch-callout: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/-webkit-touch-callout

Please note that @supports does not work in IE. IE will skip both of the above @support blocks above. To find out more see https://hacks.mozilla.org/2016/08/using-feature-queries-in-css/. It is recommended to not use @supports not because of this.

What about Chrome or Firefox on iOS? The reality is these are just skins over the WebKit rendering engine. Hence the above works everywhere on iOS as long as iOS policy does not change. See 2.5.6 in App Store Review Guidelines.

Warning: iOS may remove support for this in any new iOS release in the coming years. You SHOULD try a bit harder to not need the above CSS. An earlier version of this answer used -webkit-overflow-scrolling but a new iOS version removed it. As a commenter pointed out, there are other options to choose from: Go to Supported CSS Properties and search for "Safari on iOS".

How do I open phone settings when a button is clicked?

List all the files and folders in a Directory with PHP recursive function

This is a little modification of majicks answer.
I just changed the array structure returned by the function.

From:

array() => {
    [0] => "test/test.txt"
}

To:

array() => {
    'test/test.txt' => "test.txt"
}

/**
 * @param string $dir
 * @param bool   $recursive
 * @param string $basedir
 *
 * @return array
 */
function getFileListAsArray(string $dir, bool $recursive = true, string $basedir = ''): array {
    if ($dir == '') {
        return array();
    } else {
        $results = array();
        $subresults = array();
    }
    if (!is_dir($dir)) {
        $dir = dirname($dir);
    } // so a files path can be sent
    if ($basedir == '') {
        $basedir = realpath($dir) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;
    }

    $files = scandir($dir);
    foreach ($files as $key => $value) {
        if (($value != '.') && ($value != '..')) {
            $path = realpath($dir . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $value);
            if (is_dir($path)) { // do not combine with the next line or..
                if ($recursive) { // ..non-recursive list will include subdirs
                    $subdirresults = self::getFileListAsArray($path, $recursive, $basedir);
                    $results = array_merge($results, $subdirresults);
                }
            } else { // strip basedir and add to subarray to separate file list
                $subresults[str_replace($basedir, '', $path)] = $value;
            }
        }
    }
    // merge the subarray to give the list of files then subdirectory files
    if (count($subresults) > 0) {
        $results = array_merge($subresults, $results);
    }
    return $results;
}

Might help for those having the exact same expected results like me.

jQuery issue - #<an Object> has no method

This usually has to do with a selector not being used properly. Check and make sure that you are using the jQuery selectors like intended. For example I had this problem when creating a click method:

$("[editButton]").click(function () {
    this.css("color", "red");
});

Because I was not using the correct selector method $(this) for jQuery it gave me the same error.

So simply enough, check your selectors!

Run two async tasks in parallel and collect results in .NET 4.5

While your Sleep method is async, Thread.Sleep is not. The whole idea of async is to reuse a single thread, not to start multiple threads. Because you've blocked using a synchronous call to Thread.Sleep, it's not going to work.

I'm assuming that Thread.Sleep is a simplification of what you actually want to do. Can your actual implementation be coded as async methods?

If you do need to run multiple synchronous blocking calls, look elsewhere I think!

How to trigger jQuery change event in code

for me $('#element').val('...').change() is the best way.

How to format background color using twitter bootstrap?

Move your row before <div class="container marketing"> and wrap it with a new container, because current container width is 1170px (not 100%):

<div class='hero'>
  <div class="row">
   ...
  </div>
</div>

CSS:

.hero {
  background-color: #2ba6cb;
  padding: 0 90px;
}

Finding first blank row, then writing to it

I would have done it like this. Short and sweet :)

Sub test()
Dim rngToSearch As Range
Dim FirstBlankCell As Range
Dim firstEmptyRow As Long

Set rngToSearch = Sheet1.Range("A:A")
    'Check first cell isn't empty
    If IsEmpty(rngToSearch.Cells(1, 1)) Then
        firstEmptyRow = rngToSearch.Cells(1, 1).Row
    Else
        Set FirstBlankCell = rngToSearch.FindNext(After:=rngToSearch.Cells(1, 1))
        If Not FirstBlankCell Is Nothing Then
            firstEmptyRow = FirstBlankCell.Row
        Else
            'no empty cell in range searched
        End If
    End If
End Sub

Updated to check if first row is empty.

Edit: Update to include check if entire row is empty

Option Explicit

Sub test()
Dim rngToSearch As Range
Dim firstblankrownumber As Long

    Set rngToSearch = Sheet1.Range("A1:C200")
    firstblankrownumber = FirstBlankRow(rngToSearch)
    Debug.Print firstblankrownumber

End Sub

Function FirstBlankRow(ByVal rngToSearch As Range, Optional activeCell As Range) As Long
Dim FirstBlankCell As Range

    If activeCell Is Nothing Then Set activeCell = rngToSearch.Cells(1, 1)
    'Check first cell isn't empty
    If WorksheetFunction.CountA(rngToSearch.Cells(1, 1).EntireRow) = 0 Then
        FirstBlankRow = rngToSearch.Cells(1, 1).Row
    Else

        Set FirstBlankCell = rngToSearch.FindNext(After:=activeCell)
        If Not FirstBlankCell Is Nothing Then

            If WorksheetFunction.CountA(FirstBlankCell.EntireRow) = 0 Then
                FirstBlankRow = FirstBlankCell.Row
            Else
                Set activeCell = FirstBlankCell
                FirstBlankRow = FirstBlankRow(rngToSearch, activeCell)

            End If
        Else
            'no empty cell in range searched
        End If
    End If

How do I make a JAR from a .java file?

Often you will want to specify a manifest, like so:

jar -cvfm myJar.jar myManifest.txt myApp.class

Which reads: "create verbose jarFilename manifestFilename", followed by the files you want to include. Verbose means print messages about what it's doing.

Note that the name of the manifest file you supply can be anything, as jar will automatically rename it and put it into the right directory within the jar file.

How can I check if an ip is in a network in Python?

I'm not a fan of using modules when they are not needed. This job only requires simple math, so here is my simple function to do the job:

def ipToInt(ip):
    o = map(int, ip.split('.'))
    res = (16777216 * o[0]) + (65536 * o[1]) + (256 * o[2]) + o[3]
    return res

def isIpInSubnet(ip, ipNetwork, maskLength):
    ipInt = ipToInt(ip)#my test ip, in int form

    maskLengthFromRight = 32 - maskLength

    ipNetworkInt = ipToInt(ipNetwork) #convert the ip network into integer form
    binString = "{0:b}".format(ipNetworkInt) #convert that into into binary (string format)

    chopAmount = 0 #find out how much of that int I need to cut off
    for i in range(maskLengthFromRight):
        if i < len(binString):
            chopAmount += int(binString[len(binString)-1-i]) * 2**i

    minVal = ipNetworkInt-chopAmount
    maxVal = minVal+2**maskLengthFromRight -1

    return minVal <= ipInt and ipInt <= maxVal

Then to use it:

>>> print isIpInSubnet('66.151.97.0', '66.151.97.192',24) 
True
>>> print isIpInSubnet('66.151.97.193', '66.151.97.192',29) 
True
>>> print isIpInSubnet('66.151.96.0', '66.151.97.192',24) 
False
>>> print isIpInSubnet('66.151.97.0', '66.151.97.192',29) 

That's it, this is much faster than the solutions above with the included modules.

Is there a way to crack the password on an Excel VBA Project?

VBA Project Passwords on Access, Excel, Powerpoint, or Word documents (2007, 2010, 2013 or 2016 versions with extensions .ACCDB .XLSM .XLTM .DOCM .DOTM .POTM .PPSM) can be easily removed.

It's simply a matter of changing the filename extension to .ZIP, unzipping the file, and using any basic Hex Editor (like XVI32) to "break" the existing password, which "confuses" Office so it prompts for a new password next time the file is opened.

A summary of the steps:

  • rename the file so it has a .ZIP extension.
  • open the ZIP and go to the XL folder.
  • extract vbaProject.bin and open it with a Hex Editor
  • "Search & Replace" to "replace all" changing DPB to DPX.
  • Save changes, place the .bin file back into the zip, return it to it's normal extension and open the file like normal.
  • ALT+F11 to enter the VB Editor and right-click in the Project Explorer to choose VBA Project Properties.
  • On the Protection tab, Set a new password.
  • Click OK, Close the file, Re-open it, hit ALT+F11.
  • Enter the new password that you set.

At this point you can remove the password completely if you choose to.

Complete instructions with a step-by-step video I made "way back when" are on YouTube here.

It's kind of shocking that this workaround has been out there for years, and Microsoft hasn't fixed the issue.


The moral of the story?

Microsoft Office VBA Project passwords are not to be relied upon for security of any sensitive information. If security is important, use third-party encryption software.

The value violated the integrity constraints for the column

You can replace the values "null" from the original file & field/column.

Return value of x = os.system(..)

os.system('command') returns a 16 bit number, which first 8 bits from left(lsb) talks about signal used by os to close the command, Next 8 bits talks about return code of command.

Refer my answer for more detail in What is the return value of os.system() in Python?

How do I pass environment variables to Docker containers?

Use -e or --env value to set environment variables (default []).

An example from a startup script:

 docker run  -e myhost='localhost' -it busybox sh

If you want to use multiple environments from the command line then before every environment variable use the -e flag.

Example:

 sudo docker run -d -t -i -e NAMESPACE='staging' -e PASSWORD='foo' busybox sh

Note: Make sure put the container name after the environment variable, not before that.

If you need to set up many variables, use the --env-file flag

For example,

 $ docker run --env-file ./my_env ubuntu bash

For any other help, look into the Docker help:

 $ docker run --help

What is the difference between single-quoted and double-quoted strings in PHP?

' Single quoted

The simplest way to specify a string is to enclose it in single quotes. Single quote is generally faster, and everything quoted inside treated as plain string.

Example:

echo 'Start with a simple string';
echo 'String\'s apostrophe';
echo 'String with a php variable'.$name;

" Double quoted

Use double quotes in PHP to avoid having to use the period to separate code (Note: Use curly braces {} to include variables if you do not want to use concatenation (.) operator) in string.

Example:

echo "Start with a simple string";
echo "String's apostrophe";
echo "String with a php variable {$name}";

Is there a performance benefit single quote vs double quote in PHP?

Yes. It is slightly faster to use single quotes.

PHP won't use additional processing to interpret what is inside the single quote. when you use double quotes PHP has to parse to check if there are any variables within the string.

ASP.NET MVC Ajax Error handling

Unfortunately, neither of answers are good for me. Surprisingly the solution is much simpler. Return from controller:

    label.show();
    return a.exec();

Error while installing json gem 'mkmf.rb can't find header files for ruby'

Xcode 11 / macOS Catalina

On Xcode 11 / macOS Catalina, the header files are no longer in the old location and the old /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg file is no longer available.

Instead, the headers are now installed to the /usr/include directory of the current SDK path:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/include

Most of this directory can be found by using the output of xcrun --show-sdk-path. And if you add this path to the CPATH environment variable, then build scripts (including those called via bundle) will generally be able to find it.

I resolved this by setting my CPATH in my .zshrc file:

export CPATH="$(xcrun --show-sdk-path)/usr/include"

After opening a new shell (or running source .zshrc), I no longer receive the error message mkmf.rb can't find header files for ruby at /usr/lib/ruby/ruby.h and the rubygems install properly.

Note on Building to Non-macOS Platforms

If you are building to non-macOS platforms, such as iOS/tvOS/watchOS, this change will attempt to include the macOS SDK in those platforms, causing build errors. To resolve, either don't set CPATH environment variable on login, or temporarily set it to blank when running xcodebuild like so:

CPATH="" xcodebuild --some-args

Calling a method every x minutes

Start a timer in the constructor of your class. The interval is in milliseconds so 5*60 seconds = 300 seconds = 300000 milliseconds.

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    System.Timers.Timer timer = new System.Timers.Timer();
    timer.Interval = 300000;
    timer.Elapsed += timer_Elapsed;
    timer.Start();
}

Then call GetData() in the timer_Elapsed event like this:

static void timer_Elapsed(object sender, System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs e)
{
    //YourCode
}

How to get day of the month?

tl;dr

LocalDate           // Represent a date-only, without time-of-day and without time zone.
.now()              // Better to pass a `ZoneId` optional argument to `now` as shown below than rely implicitly on the JVM’s current default time zone.
.getDayOfMonth()    // Interrogate for the day of the month (1-31). 

java.time

The modern approach is the LocalDate class to represent a date-only value.

A time zone is crucial in determine the current date. For any given moment, the date varies around the globe by zone.

ZoneId z = ZoneId.of( "America/Montreal" );
LocalDate ld = LocalDate.now( z ) ;
int dayOfMonth = ld.getDayOfMonth();

You can also get the day-of-week.

DayOfWeek dow = ld.getDayOfWeek();

About java.time

The java.time framework is built into Java 8 and later. These classes supplant the troublesome old legacy date-time classes such as java.util.Date, Calendar, & SimpleDateFormat.

The Joda-Time project, now in maintenance mode, advises migration to the java.time classes.

To learn more, see the Oracle Tutorial. And search Stack Overflow for many examples and explanations. Specification is JSR 310.

Using a JDBC driver compliant with JDBC 4.2 or later, you may exchange java.time objects directly with your database. No need for strings nor java.sql.* classes.

Where to obtain the java.time classes?

The ThreeTen-Extra project extends java.time with additional classes. This project is a proving ground for possible future additions to java.time. You may find some useful classes here such as Interval, YearWeek, YearQuarter, and more.


Joda-Time

UPDATE: The Joda-Time project is now in maintenance mode, and advises migration to the java.time classes. This section left intact for history.

Using the Joda-Time 2.5 library rather than the notoriously troublesome java.util.Date and .Calendar classes.

Time zone is crucial to determining a date. Better to specify the zone rather than rely implicitly on the JVM’s current default time zone being assigned.

DateTimeZone zone = DateTimeZone.forID( "America/Montreal" );
DateTime now = DateTime.now( zone ).withTimeAtStartOfDay();
int dayOfMonth = now.getDayOfMonth();

Or use similar code with the LocalDate class that has no time-of-day portion.

How can I group data with an Angular filter?

If you need that in js code. You can use injected method of angula-filter lib. Like this.

function controller($scope, $http, groupByFilter) {     

   var groupedData = groupByFilter(originalArray, 'groupPropName');

}

PHP - Indirect modification of overloaded property

I agree with VinnyD that what you need to do is add "&" in front of your __get function, as to make it to return the needed result as a reference:

public function &__get ( $propertyname )

But be aware of two things:

1) You should also do

return &$something;

or you might still be returning a value and not a reference...

2) Remember that in any case that __get returns a reference this also means that the corresponding __set will NEVER be called; this is because php resolves this by using the reference returned by __get, which is called instead!

So:

$var = $object->NonExistentArrayProperty; 

means __get is called and, since __get has &__get and return &$something, $var is now, as intended, a reference to the overloaded property...

$object->NonExistentArrayProperty = array(); 

works as expected and __set is called as expected...

But:

$object->NonExistentArrayProperty[] = $value;

or

$object->NonExistentArrayProperty["index"] = $value;

works as expected in the sense that the element will be correctly added or modified in the overloaded array property, BUT __set WILL NOT BE CALLED: __get will be called instead!

These two calls would NOT work if not using &__get and return &$something, but while they do work in this way, they NEVER call __set, but always call __get.

This is why I decided to return a reference

return &$something;

when $something is an array(), or when the overloaded property has no special setter method, and instead return a value

return $something;

when $something is NOT an array or has a special setter function.

In any case, this was quite tricky to understand properly for me! :)

How do I find out which keystore was used to sign an app?

You can use Java 7's Key and Certificate Management Tool keytool to check the signature of a keystore or an APK without extracting any files.

Signature of an APK or AAB

# APK file
keytool -printcert -jarfile app.apk

# AAB file
keytool -printcert -jarfile app.aab

The output will reveal the signature owner/issuer and MD5, SHA1 and SHA256 fingerprints of the APK file app.apk or AAB file app.aab.

(Note that the -jarfile argument was introduced in Java 7; see the documentation for more details.)

Signature of a keystore

keytool -list -v -keystore release.jks

The output will reveal the aliases (entries) in the keystore file release.jks, with the certificate fingerprints (MD5, SHA1 and SHA256).

If the SHA1 fingerprints between the APK and the keystore match, then you can rest assured that that app is signed with the key.

How to DROP multiple columns with a single ALTER TABLE statement in SQL Server?

For SQL Server:

ALTER TABLE TableName
    DROP COLUMN Column1, Column2;

The syntax is

DROP { [ CONSTRAINT ] constraint_name | COLUMN column } [ ,...n ] 

For MySQL:

ALTER TABLE TableName
    DROP COLUMN Column1,
    DROP COLUMN Column2;

or like this1:

ALTER TABLE TableName
    DROP Column1,
    DROP Column2;

1 The word COLUMN is optional and can be omitted, except for RENAME COLUMN (to distinguish a column-renaming operation from the RENAME table-renaming operation). More info here.

Increment a Integer's int value?

Integer objects are immutable. You can't change the value of the integer held by the object itself, but you can just create a new Integer object to hold the result:

Integer start = new Integer(5);
Integer end = start + 5; // end == 10;

How can I combine multiple rows into a comma-delimited list in Oracle?

You can use this as well:

SELECT RTRIM (
          XMLAGG (XMLELEMENT (e, country_name || ',')).EXTRACT ('//text()'),
          ',')
          country_name
  FROM countries;

Reactjs - setting inline styles correctly

You could also try setting style inline without using a variable, like so:

style={{"height" : "100%"}} or,

for multiple attributes: style={{"height" : "100%", "width" : "50%"}}

In c, in bool, true == 1 and false == 0?

More accurately anything that is not 0 is true.

So 1 is true, but so is 2, 3 ... etc.

phpMyAdmin mbstring error

I check phpinfo() and look for this line:

Configuration File (php.ini) Path          C:\Windows

And I copy php.ini from C:\xampp\php to the folder and it works for me.

How to get the last day of the month?

I prefer this way

import datetime
import calendar

date=datetime.datetime.now()
month_end_date=datetime.datetime(date.year,date.month,1) + datetime.timedelta(days=calendar.monthrange(date.year,date.month)[1] - 1)

Replacing objects in array

Thanks to ES6 we can made it with easy way -> for example on util.js module ;))).

  1. Merge 2 array of entity

    export const mergeArrays = (arr1, arr2) => 
       arr1 && arr1.map(obj => arr2 && arr2.find(p => p.id === obj.id) || obj);
    

gets 2 array and merges it.. Arr1 is main array which is priority is high on merge process

  1. Merge array with same type of entity

    export const mergeArrayWithObject = (arr, obj) => arr && arr.map(t => t.id === obj.id ? obj : t);
    

it merges the same kind of array of type with some kind of type for

example: array of person ->

[{id:1, name:"Bir"},{id:2, name: "Iki"},{id:3, name:"Uc"}]   
second param Person {id:3, name: "Name changed"}   

result is

[{id:1, name:"Bir"},{id:2, name: "Iki"},{id:3, name:"Name changed"}]

Apache won't run in xampp

Do you have Bitnami installed? If so it is most likely one of those installations check by opening command prompt as admin or terminal in linux, enter this...

netstat -b

This will give an application name to those processes and ports in use. Look for :80 or :443

How to stop "setInterval"

setInterval returns an id that you can use to cancel the interval with clearInterval()

How to List All Redis Databases?

There is no command to do it (like you would do it with MySQL for instance). The number of Redis databases is fixed, and set in the configuration file. By default, you have 16 databases. Each database is identified by a number (not a name).

You can use the following command to know the number of databases:

CONFIG GET databases
1) "databases"
2) "16"

You can use the following command to list the databases for which some keys are defined:

INFO keyspace
# Keyspace
db0:keys=10,expires=0
db1:keys=1,expires=0
db3:keys=1,expires=0

Please note that you are supposed to use the "redis-cli" client to run these commands, not telnet. If you want to use telnet, then you need to run these commands formatted using the Redis protocol.

For instance:

*2
$4
INFO
$8
keyspace

$79
# Keyspace
db0:keys=10,expires=0
db1:keys=1,expires=0
db3:keys=1,expires=0

You can find the description of the Redis protocol here: http://redis.io/topics/protocol

What is the point of "final class" in Java?

Final classes cannot be extended. So if you want a class to behave a certain way and don't someone to override the methods (with possibly less efficient and more malicious code), you can declare the whole class as final or specific methods which you don't want to be changed.

Since declaring a class does not prevent a class from being instantiated, it does not mean it will stop the class from having the characteristics of an object. It's just that you will have to stick to the methods just the way they are declared in the class.

pip install failing with: OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied on directory

If you need permissions, you cannot use 'pip' with 'sudo'. You can do a trick, so that you can use 'sudo' and install package. Just place 'sudo python -m ...' in front of your pip command.

sudo python -m pip install --user -r package_name

Datetime BETWEEN statement not working in SQL Server

Does the second query return any results from the 17th, or just from the 18th?

The first query will only return results from the 17th, or midnight on the 18th.

Try this instead

select * 
from LOGS 
where check_in >= CONVERT(datetime,'2013-10-17') 
and check_in< CONVERT(datetime,'2013-10-19')

How to quickly clear a JavaScript Object?

You can delete the props, but don't delete variables. delete abc; is invalid in ES5 (and throws with use strict).

You can assign it to null to set it for deletion to the GC (it won't if you have other references to properties)

Setting length property on an object does not change anything. (it only, well, sets the property)

How to truncate float values?

Simple python script -

n = 1.923328437452
n = float(int(n * 1000))
n /=1000

C compile : collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

When compiling your program, you need to include dict.c as well, eg:

gcc -o test1 test1.c dict.c

Plus you have a typo in dict.c definition of CreateDictionary, it says CreateDectionary (e instead of i)

Print the data in ResultSet along with column names

For those who wanted more better version of the resultset printing as util class This was really helpful for printing resultset and does many things from a single util... thanks to Hami Torun!

In this class printResultSet uses ResultSetMetaData in a generic way have a look at it..

How to use readline() method in Java?

This will explain it, I think...

import java.io.*;

class reading

    public static void  main(String args[]) throws IOException
    {
        float number;
        System.out.println("Enter a number");
        try
        {
            InputStreamReader in = new InputStreamReader(System.in);
            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(in);
            String a = br.readLine();
            number = Float.valueOf(a);
            int x = (int)number;

            System.out.println("Your input=" + number);
            System.out.println("Your input in integer terms is = " + x);

How to switch to other branch in Source Tree to commit the code?

Hi I'm also relatively new but I can give you basic help.

  1. To switch to another branch use "Checkout". Just click on your branch and then on the button "checkout" at the top.

UPDATE 12.01.2016:

The bold line is the current branch.

You can also just double click a branch to use checkout.


  1. Your first answer I think depends on the repository you use (like github or bitbucket). Maybe the "Show hosted repository"-Button can help you (Left panel, bottom, right button = database with cog)

And here some helpful links:

Load HTML file into WebView

probably this sample could help:

  lWebView.loadUrl("file:///" + lFile.getAbsolutePath());

The POM for project is missing, no dependency information available

The scope <scope>provided</scope> gives you an opportunity to tell that the jar would be available at runtime, so do not bundle it. It does not mean that you do not need it at compile time, hence maven would try to download that.

Now I think, the below maven artifact do not exist at all. I tries searching google, but not able to find. Hence you are getting this issue.

Change groupId to <groupId>net.sourceforge.ant4x</groupId> to get the latest jar.

<dependency>
  <groupId>net.sourceforge.ant4x</groupId>
  <artifactId>ant4x</artifactId>
  <version>${net.sourceforge.ant4x-version}</version>
  <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

Another solution for this problem is:

  1. Run your own maven repo.
  2. download the jar
  3. Install the jar into the repository.
  4. Add a code in your pom.xml something like:

Where http://localhost/repo is your local repo URL:

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>wmc-central</id>
        <url>http://localhost/repo</url>
    </repository>
    <-- Other repository config ... -->

What is the bower (and npm) version syntax?

Based on semver, you can use

  • Hyphen Ranges X.Y.Z - A.B.C 1.2.3-2.3.4 Indicates >=1.2.3 <=2.3.4

  • X-Ranges 1.2.x 1.X 1.2.*

  • Tilde Ranges ~1.2.3 ~1.2 Indicates allowing patch-level changes or minor version changes.

  • Caret Ranges ^1.2.3 ^0.2.5 ^0.0.4

    Allows changes that do not modify the left-most non-zero digit in the [major, minor, patch] tuple

    • ^1.2.x (means >=1.2.0 <2.0.0)

C++11 reverse range-based for-loop

Actually, in C++14 it can be done with a very few lines of code.

This is a very similar in idea to @Paul's solution. Due to things missing from C++11, that solution is a bit unnecessarily bloated (plus defining in std smells). Thanks to C++14 we can make it a lot more readable.

The key observation is that range-based for-loops work by relying on begin() and end() in order to acquire the range's iterators. Thanks to ADL, one doesn't even need to define their custom begin() and end() in the std:: namespace.

Here is a very simple-sample solution:

// -------------------------------------------------------------------
// --- Reversed iterable

template <typename T>
struct reversion_wrapper { T& iterable; };

template <typename T>
auto begin (reversion_wrapper<T> w) { return std::rbegin(w.iterable); }

template <typename T>
auto end (reversion_wrapper<T> w) { return std::rend(w.iterable); }

template <typename T>
reversion_wrapper<T> reverse (T&& iterable) { return { iterable }; }

This works like a charm, for instance:

template <typename T>
void print_iterable (std::ostream& out, const T& iterable)
{
    for (auto&& element: iterable)
        out << element << ',';
    out << '\n';
}

int main (int, char**)
{
    using namespace std;

    // on prvalues
    print_iterable(cout, reverse(initializer_list<int> { 1, 2, 3, 4, }));

    // on const lvalue references
    const list<int> ints_list { 1, 2, 3, 4, };
    for (auto&& el: reverse(ints_list))
        cout << el << ',';
    cout << '\n';

    // on mutable lvalue references
    vector<int> ints_vec { 0, 0, 0, 0, };
    size_t i = 0;
    for (int& el: reverse(ints_vec))
        el += i++;
    print_iterable(cout, ints_vec);
    print_iterable(cout, reverse(ints_vec));

    return 0;
}

prints as expected

4,3,2,1,
4,3,2,1,
3,2,1,0,
0,1,2,3,

NOTE std::rbegin(), std::rend(), and std::make_reverse_iterator() are not yet implemented in GCC-4.9. I write these examples according to the standard, but they would not compile in stable g++. Nevertheless, adding temporary stubs for these three functions is very easy. Here is a sample implementation, definitely not complete but works well enough for most cases:

// --------------------------------------------------
template <typename I>
reverse_iterator<I> make_reverse_iterator (I i)
{
    return std::reverse_iterator<I> { i };
}

// --------------------------------------------------
template <typename T>
auto rbegin (T& iterable)
{
    return make_reverse_iterator(iterable.end());
}

template <typename T>
auto rend (T& iterable)
{
    return make_reverse_iterator(iterable.begin());
}

// const container variants

template <typename T>
auto rbegin (const T& iterable)
{
    return make_reverse_iterator(iterable.end());
}

template <typename T>
auto rend (const T& iterable)
{
    return make_reverse_iterator(iterable.begin());
}

WampServer: php-win.exe The program can't start because MSVCR110.dll is missing

Windows 10 x64 released August 2015 - same issue arising. MSVCR110.dll is also found in the sysWOW64 folder (which is where I found it, copying to system32 does not help). To resolve:

  1. uninstall the x86 versions of VC 11 vcredist_x64/86.exe for 2012 and 2013
  2. uninstall WAMP Server 2.5
  3. delete (maybe back up first) the WAMP folder
  4. restart windows
  5. reinstall WAMP 2.5

Hopefully like me you have a MySQL database backup handy!

Error related to only_full_group_by when executing a query in MySql

For localhost / wampserver 3 we can set sql-mode = user_mode to remove this error:

click on wamp icon -> MySql -> MySql Setting -> sql-mode -> user_mode

then restart wamp or apache

Huge performance difference when using group by vs distinct

The two queries express the same question. Apparently the query optimizer chooses two different execution plans. My guess would be that the distinct approach is executed like:

  • Copy all business_key values to a temporary table
  • Sort the temporary table
  • Scan the temporary table, returning each item that is different from the one before it

The group by could be executed like:

  • Scan the full table, storing each value of business key in a hashtable
  • Return the keys of the hashtable

The first method optimizes for memory usage: it would still perform reasonably well when part of the temporary table has to be swapped out. The second method optimizes for speed, but potentially requires a large amount of memory if there are a lot of different keys.

Since you either have enough memory or few different keys, the second method outperforms the first. It's not unusual to see performance differences of 10x or even 100x between two execution plans.

node.js require all files in a folder?

I have a folder /fields full of files with a single class each, ex:

fields/Text.js -> Test class
fields/Checkbox.js -> Checkbox class

Drop this in fields/index.js to export each class:

var collectExports, fs, path,
  __hasProp = {}.hasOwnProperty;

fs = require('fs');    
path = require('path');

collectExports = function(file) {
  var func, include, _results;

  if (path.extname(file) === '.js' && file !== 'index.js') {
    include = require('./' + file);
    _results = [];
    for (func in include) {
      if (!__hasProp.call(include, func)) continue;
      _results.push(exports[func] = include[func]);
    }
    return _results;
  }
};

fs.readdirSync('./fields/').forEach(collectExports);

This makes the modules act more like they would in Python:

var text = new Fields.Text()
var checkbox = new Fields.Checkbox()

Updating GUI (WPF) using a different thread

You may use a delegate to solve this issue. Here is an example that is showing how to update a textBox using diffrent thread

    {
        Thread.Sleep(1000);                
        richTextBox1.Dispatcher.Invoke(
            new UpdateTextCallback(this.UpdateText),
            new object[] { i.ToString() }
        );
    }
}
private void UpdateText(string message)
{
    richTextBox1.AppendText(message + "\n");
}

private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
   Thread test = new Thread(new ThreadStart(TestThread));
   test.Start();
}

TestThread method is used by thread named test to update textBox

How to do SELECT MAX in Django?

Django also has the 'latest(field_name = None)' function that finds the latest (max. value) entry. It not only works with date fields but also with strings and integers.

You can give the field name when calling that function:

max_rated_entry = YourModel.objects.latest('rating')
return max_rated_entry.details

Or you can already give that field name in your models meta data:

from django.db import models

class YourModel(models.Model):
    #your class definition
    class Meta:
        get_latest_by = 'rating'

Now you can call 'latest()' without any parameters:

max_rated_entry = YourModel.objects.latest()
return max_rated_entry.details

live output from subprocess command

Why not set stdout directly to sys.stdout? And if you need to output to a log as well, then you can simply override the write method of f.

import sys
import subprocess

class SuperFile(open.__class__):

    def write(self, data):
        sys.stdout.write(data)
        super(SuperFile, self).write(data)

f = SuperFile("log.txt","w+")       
process = subprocess.Popen(command, stdout=f, stderr=f)

changing permission for files and folder recursively using shell command in mac

The issue is that the * is getting interpreted by your shell and is expanding to a file named TEST_FILE that happens to be in your current working directory, so you're telling find to execute the command named TEST_FILE which doesn't exist. I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish with that *, you should just remove it.

Furthermore, you should use the idiom -exec program '{}' \+ instead of -exec program '{}' \; so that find doesn't fork a new process for each file. With ;, a new process is forked for each file, whereas with +, it only forks one process and passes all of the files on a single command line, which for simple programs like chmod is much more efficient.

Lastly, chmod can do recursive changes on its own with the -R flag, so unless you need to search for specific files, just do this:

chmod -R 777 /Users/Test/Desktop/PATH

SQL Server after update trigger

First off, your trigger as you already see is going to update every record in the table. There is no filtering done to accomplish jus the rows changed.

Secondly, you're assuming that only one row changes in the batch which is incorrect as multiple rows could change.

The way to do this properly is to use the virtual inserted and deleted tables: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms191300.aspx

How to create a function in SQL Server

How about this?

CREATE FUNCTION dbo.StripWWWandCom (@input VARCHAR(250))
RETURNS VARCHAR(250)
AS BEGIN
    DECLARE @Work VARCHAR(250)

    SET @Work = @Input

    SET @Work = REPLACE(@Work, 'www.', '')
    SET @Work = REPLACE(@Work, '.com', '')

    RETURN @work
END

and then use:

SELECT ID, dbo.StripWWWandCom (WebsiteName)
FROM dbo.YourTable .....

Of course, this is severely limited in that it will only strip www. at the beginning and .com at the end - nothing else (so it won't work on other host machine names like smtp.yahoo.com and other internet domains such as .org, .edu, .de and etc.)

C# IPAddress from string

Creating an Arraylist of Objects

If you want to allow a user to add a bunch of new MyObjects to the list, you can do it with a for loop: Let's say I'm creating an ArrayList of Rectangle objects, and each Rectangle has two parameters- length and width.

//here I will create my ArrayList:

ArrayList <Rectangle> rectangles= new ArrayList <>(3); 

int length;
int width;

for(int index =0; index <3;index++)
{JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Rectangle " + (index + 1));
 length = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter length");
 width = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter width");

 //Now I will create my Rectangle and add it to my rectangles ArrayList:

 rectangles.add(new Rectangle(length,width));

//This passes the length and width values to the rectangle constructor,
  which will create a new Rectangle and add it to the ArrayList.

Get DateTime.Now with milliseconds precision

As far as I understand the question, you can go for:

DateTime dateTimeInMilliseconds = dateTime.AddTicks(-1 * dateTime.Ticks % 10000); 

This will cut off ticks smaller than 1 millisecond.

C# LINQ find duplicates in List

You can do this:

var list = new[] {1,2,3,1,4,2};
var duplicateItems = list.Duplicates();

With these extension methods:

public static class Extensions
{
    public static IEnumerable<TSource> Duplicates<TSource, TKey>(this IEnumerable<TSource> source, Func<TSource, TKey> selector)
    {
        var grouped = source.GroupBy(selector);
        var moreThan1 = grouped.Where(i => i.IsMultiple());
        return moreThan1.SelectMany(i => i);
    }

    public static IEnumerable<TSource> Duplicates<TSource, TKey>(this IEnumerable<TSource> source)
    {
        return source.Duplicates(i => i);
    }

    public static bool IsMultiple<T>(this IEnumerable<T> source)
    {
        var enumerator = source.GetEnumerator();
        return enumerator.MoveNext() && enumerator.MoveNext();
    }
}

Using IsMultiple() in the Duplicates method is faster than Count() because this does not iterate the whole collection.

PHP/MySQL: How to create a comment section in your website

Create a new table called comments

They should have a column containing the id of the post they are assigned to.

Make a form which adds a new comment to that table.

An example (not tested so may contain lil' syntax errors): I call a page with comments a post

Post.php

<!-- Post content here -->

<!-- Then cmments below -->
<h1>Comments</h1>
<?php
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM comments WHERE postid=0");
//0 should be the current post's id
while($row = mysql_fetch_object($result))
{
?>
<div class="comment">
By: <?php echo $row->author; //Or similar in your table ?>
<p>
<?php echo;$row->body; ?>
</p>
</div>
<?php
}
?>
<h1>Leave a comment:</h1>
<form action="insertcomment.php" method="post">
<!-- Here the shit they must fill out -->
<input type="hidden" name="postid" value="<?php //your posts id ?>" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>

insertcomment.php

<?php
//First check if everything is filled in
if(/*some statements*/)
{
//Do a mysql_real_escape_string() to all fields

//Then insert comment
mysql_query("INSERT INTO comments VALUES ($author,$postid,$body,$etc)");
}
else
{
die("Fill out everything please. Mkay.");
}
?>

How can I change the Bootstrap default font family using font from Google?

First of all, you can't import fonts to CSS that way.

You can add this code in HTML head:

or to import it in CSS file like this:

@import url("http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Oswald:400,300,700");

Then, in your css, you can edit the body's font-family:

body {
  font-family: 'Oswald', sans-serif !important;
}

How to terminate process from Python using pid?

I wanted to do the same thing as, but I wanted to do it in the one file.

So the logic would be:

  • if a script with my name is running, kill it, then exit
  • if a script with my name is not running, do stuff

I modified the answer by Bakuriu and came up with this:

from os import getpid
from sys import argv, exit
import psutil  ## pip install psutil

myname = argv[0]
mypid = getpid()
for process in psutil.process_iter():
    if process.pid != mypid:
        for path in process.cmdline():
            if myname in path:
                print "process found"
                process.terminate()
                exit()

## your program starts here...

Running the script will do whatever the script does. Running another instance of the script will kill any existing instance of the script.

Android: Proper Way to use onBackPressed() with Toast

You don't need a counter for back presses.

Just store a reference to the toast that is shown:

private Toast backtoast;

Then,

public void onBackPressed() {
    if(USER_IS_GOING_TO_EXIT) {
        if(backtoast!=null&&backtoast.getView().getWindowToken()!=null) {
            finish();
        } else {
            backtoast = Toast.makeText(this, "Press back to exit", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT);
            backtoast.show();
        }
    } else {
        //other stuff...
        super.onBackPressed();
    }
}

This will call finish() if you press back while the toast is still visible, and only if the back press would result in exiting the application.

It makes sure that the returned object (which is an RValue at that point) can't be modified. This makes sure the user can't do thinks like this:

myFunc() = Object(...);

That would work nicely if myFunc returned by reference, but is almost certainly a bug when returned by value (and probably won't be caught by the compiler). Of course in C++11 with its rvalues this convention doesn't make as much sense as it did earlier, since a const object can't be moved from, so this can have pretty heavy effects on performance.

How can I make a multipart/form-data POST request using Java?

Use this code to upload images or any other files to the server using post in multipart.

import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;

import org.apache.http.client.ClientProtocolException;
import org.apache.http.client.HttpClient;
import org.apache.http.client.ResponseHandler;
import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpPost;
import org.apache.http.entity.mime.MultipartEntity;
import org.apache.http.entity.mime.content.FileBody;
import org.apache.http.entity.mime.content.StringBody;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.BasicResponseHandler;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient;

public class SimplePostRequestTest {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws UnsupportedEncodingException, IOException {
        HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost("http://192.168.0.102/uploadtest/upload_photo");

        try {
            FileBody bin = new FileBody(new File("/home/ubuntu/cd.png"));
            StringBody id = new StringBody("3");
            MultipartEntity reqEntity = new MultipartEntity();
            reqEntity.addPart("upload_image", bin);
            reqEntity.addPart("id", id);
            reqEntity.addPart("image_title", new StringBody("CoolPic"));

            httppost.setEntity(reqEntity);
            System.out.println("Requesting : " + httppost.getRequestLine());
            ResponseHandler<String> responseHandler = new BasicResponseHandler();
            String responseBody = httpclient.execute(httppost, responseHandler);
            System.out.println("responseBody : " + responseBody);

        } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {

        } finally {
            httpclient.getConnectionManager().shutdown();
        }
    }

}

it requires below files to upload.

libraries are httpclient-4.1.2.jar, httpcore-4.1.2.jar, httpmime-4.1.2.jar, httpclient-cache-4.1.2.jar, commons-codec.jar and commons-logging-1.1.1.jar to be in classpath.

How to serialize/deserialize to `Dictionary<int, string>` from custom XML not using XElement?

You can use ExtendedXmlSerializer. If you have a class:

public class TestClass
{
    public Dictionary<int, string> Dictionary { get; set; }
}

and create instance of this class:

var obj = new TestClass
{
    Dictionary = new Dictionary<int, string>
    {
        {1, "First"},
        {2, "Second"},
        {3, "Other"},
    }
};

You can serialize this object using ExtendedXmlSerializer:

var serializer = new ConfigurationContainer()
    .UseOptimizedNamespaces() //If you want to have all namespaces in root element
    .Create();

var xml = serializer.Serialize(
    new XmlWriterSettings { Indent = true }, //If you want to formated xml
    obj);

Output xml will look like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TestClass xmlns:sys="https://extendedxmlserializer.github.io/system" xmlns:exs="https://extendedxmlserializer.github.io/v2" xmlns="clr-namespace:ExtendedXmlSerializer.Samples;assembly=ExtendedXmlSerializer.Samples">
  <Dictionary>
    <sys:Item>
      <Key>1</Key>
      <Value>First</Value>
    </sys:Item>
    <sys:Item>
      <Key>2</Key>
      <Value>Second</Value>
    </sys:Item>
    <sys:Item>
      <Key>3</Key>
      <Value>Other</Value>
    </sys:Item>
  </Dictionary>
</TestClass>

You can install ExtendedXmlSerializer from nuget or run the following command:

Install-Package ExtendedXmlSerializer

Android. Fragment getActivity() sometimes returns null

I've been battling this kind of problem for a while, and I think I've come up with a reliable solution.

It's pretty difficult to know for sure that this.getActivity() isn't going to return null for a Fragment, especially if you're dealing with any kind of network behaviour which gives your code ample time to withdraw Activity references.

In the solution below, I declare a small management class called the ActivityBuffer. Essentially, this class deals with maintaining a reliable reference to an owning Activity, and promising to execute Runnables within a valid Activity context whenever there's a valid reference available. The Runnables are scheduled for execution on the UI Thread immediately if the Context is available, otherwise execution is deferred until that Context is ready.

/** A class which maintains a list of transactions to occur when Context becomes available. */
public final class ActivityBuffer {

    /** A class which defines operations to execute once there's an available Context. */
    public interface IRunnable {
        /** Executes when there's an available Context. Ideally, will it operate immediately. */
        void run(final Activity pActivity);
    }

    /* Member Variables. */
    private       Activity        mActivity;
    private final List<IRunnable> mRunnables;

    /** Constructor. */
    public ActivityBuffer() {
        // Initialize Member Variables.
        this.mActivity  = null;
        this.mRunnables = new ArrayList<IRunnable>();
    }

    /** Executes the Runnable if there's an available Context. Otherwise, defers execution until it becomes available. */
    public final void safely(final IRunnable pRunnable) {
        // Synchronize along the current instance.
        synchronized(this) {
            // Do we have a context available?
            if(this.isContextAvailable()) {
                // Fetch the Activity.
                final Activity lActivity = this.getActivity();
                // Execute the Runnable along the Activity.
                lActivity.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() { @Override public final void run() { pRunnable.run(lActivity); } });
            }
            else {
                // Buffer the Runnable so that it's ready to receive a valid reference.
                this.getRunnables().add(pRunnable);
            }
        }
    }

    /** Called to inform the ActivityBuffer that there's an available Activity reference. */
    public final void onContextGained(final Activity pActivity) {
        // Synchronize along ourself.
        synchronized(this) {
            // Update the Activity reference.
            this.setActivity(pActivity);
            // Are there any Runnables awaiting execution?
            if(!this.getRunnables().isEmpty()) {
                // Iterate the Runnables.
                for(final IRunnable lRunnable : this.getRunnables()) {
                    // Execute the Runnable on the UI Thread.
                    pActivity.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() { @Override public final void run() {
                        // Execute the Runnable.
                        lRunnable.run(pActivity);
                    } });
                }
                // Empty the Runnables.
                this.getRunnables().clear();
            }
        }
    }

    /** Called to inform the ActivityBuffer that the Context has been lost. */
    public final void onContextLost() {
        // Synchronize along ourself.
        synchronized(this) {
            // Remove the Context reference.
            this.setActivity(null);
        }
    }

    /** Defines whether there's a safe Context available for the ActivityBuffer. */
    public final boolean isContextAvailable() {
        // Synchronize upon ourself.
        synchronized(this) {
            // Return the state of the Activity reference.
            return (this.getActivity() != null);
        }
    }

    /* Getters and Setters. */
    private final void setActivity(final Activity pActivity) {
        this.mActivity = pActivity;
    }

    private final Activity getActivity() {
        return this.mActivity;
    }

    private final List<IRunnable> getRunnables() {
        return this.mRunnables;
    }

}

In terms of its implementation, we must take care to apply the life cycle methods to coincide with the behaviour described above by Pawan M:

public class BaseFragment extends Fragment {

    /* Member Variables. */
    private ActivityBuffer mActivityBuffer;

    public BaseFragment() {
        // Implement the Parent.
        super();
        // Allocate the ActivityBuffer.
        this.mActivityBuffer = new ActivityBuffer();
    }

    @Override
    public final void onAttach(final Context pContext) {
        // Handle as usual.
        super.onAttach(pContext);
        // Is the Context an Activity?
        if(pContext instanceof Activity) {
            // Cast Accordingly.
            final Activity lActivity = (Activity)pContext;
            // Inform the ActivityBuffer.
            this.getActivityBuffer().onContextGained(lActivity);
        }
    }

    @Deprecated @Override
    public final void onAttach(final Activity pActivity) {
        // Handle as usual.
        super.onAttach(pActivity);
        // Inform the ActivityBuffer.
        this.getActivityBuffer().onContextGained(pActivity);
    }

    @Override
    public final void onDetach() {
        // Handle as usual.
        super.onDetach();
        // Inform the ActivityBuffer.
        this.getActivityBuffer().onContextLost();
    }

    /* Getters. */
    public final ActivityBuffer getActivityBuffer() {
        return this.mActivityBuffer;
    }

}

Finally, in any areas within your Fragment that extends BaseFragment that you're untrustworthy about a call to getActivity(), simply make a call to this.getActivityBuffer().safely(...) and declare an ActivityBuffer.IRunnable for the task!

The contents of your void run(final Activity pActivity) are then guaranteed to execute along the UI Thread.

The ActivityBuffer can then be used as follows:

this.getActivityBuffer().safely(
  new ActivityBuffer.IRunnable() {
    @Override public final void run(final Activity pActivity) {
       // Do something with guaranteed Context.
    }
  }
);

Changing the tmp folder of mysql

if you dont have apparmor or selinux issues, but still get errorcode 13's:

mysql must be able to access the full path. I.e. all folders must be mysql accessible, not just the one you intend in pointing to.

example, you try using this in your mysql configuration: tmp = /some/folder/on/disk

# will work, as user root:
mkdir -p /some/folder/on/disk
chown -R mysql:mysql /some

# will not work, also as user root:
mkdir -p /some/folder/on/disk
chown -R mysql:mysql /some/folder/on/disk

Does Visual Studio have code coverage for unit tests?

For anyone that is looking for an easy solution in Visual Studio Community 2019, Fine Code Coverage is simple but it works well.

It cannot give accurate numbers on the precise coverage, but it will tell which lines are being covered with green/red gutters.

Programmatically change input type of the EditText from PASSWORD to NORMAL & vice versa

Another simple example using ImageView to toggle visibility with less code, because of single InputType assign we need only equality operator:

EditText inputPassword = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.loginPassword);
ImageView inputPasswordShow = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imagePasswordShow);
inputPasswordShow.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
     @Override
     public void onClick(View view) {
         if(inputPassword.getInputType() == InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_VISIBLE_PASSWORD) {
              inputPassword.setInputType( InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT |
                                        InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD);
         }else {
              inputPassword.setInputType( InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_VISIBLE_PASSWORD );
         }
         inputPassword.setSelection(inputPassword.getText().length());
    }
});

Replacing :

InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_VISIBLE_PASSWORD

With :

InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT

Will give the same result but shorter word.

What is REST? Slightly confused

REST is an architectural style and a design for network-based software architectures.

REST concepts are referred to as resources. A representation of a resource must be stateless. It is represented via some media type. Some examples of media types include XML, JSON, and RDF. Resources are manipulated by components. Components request and manipulate resources via a standard uniform interface. In the case of HTTP, this interface consists of standard HTTP ops e.g. GET, PUT, POST, DELETE.

REST is typically used over HTTP, primarily due to the simplicity of HTTP and its very natural mapping to RESTful principles. REST however is not tied to any specific protocol.

Fundamental REST Principles

Client-Server Communication

Client-server architectures have a very distinct separation of concerns. All applications built in the RESTful style must also be client-server in principle.

Stateless

Each client request to the server requires that its state be fully represented. The server must be able to completely understand the client request without using any server context or server session state. It follows that all state must be kept on the client. We will discuss stateless representation in more detail later.

Cacheable

Cache constraints may be used, thus enabling response data to to be marked as cacheable or not-cachable. Any data marked as cacheable may be reused as the response to the same subsequent request.

Uniform Interface

All components must interact through a single uniform interface. Because all component interaction occurs via this interface, interaction with different services is very simple. The interface is the same! This also means that implementation changes can be made in isolation. Such changes, will not affect fundamental component interaction because the uniform interface is always unchanged. One disadvantage is that you are stuck with the interface. If an optimization could be provided to a specific service by changing the interface, you are out of luck as REST prohibits this. On the bright side, however, REST is optimized for the web, hence incredible popularity of REST over HTTP!

The above concepts represent defining characteristics of REST and differentiate the REST architecture from other architectures like web services. It is useful to note that a REST service is a web service, but a web service is not necessarily a REST service.

See this blog post on REST Design Principals for more details on REST and the above principles.

How to send a model in jQuery $.ajax() post request to MVC controller method

In ajax call mention-

data:MakeModel(),

use the below function to bind data to model

function MakeModel() {

    var MyModel = {};

    MyModel.value = $('#input element id').val() or your value;

    return JSON.stringify(MyModel);
}

Attach [HttpPost] attribute to your controller action

on POST this data will get available

Webpack how to build production code and how to use it

If you have a lot of duplicate code in your webpack.dev.config and your webpack.prod.config, you could use a boolean isProd to activate certain features only in certain situations and only have a single webpack.config.js file.

const isProd = (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production');

 if (isProd) {
     plugins.push(new AotPlugin({
      "mainPath": "main.ts",
      "hostReplacementPaths": {
        "environments/index.ts": "environments/index.prod.ts"
      },
      "exclude": [],
      "tsConfigPath": "src/tsconfig.app.json"
    }));
    plugins.push(new UglifyJsPlugin({
      "mangle": {
        "screw_ie8": true
      },
      "compress": {
        "screw_ie8": true,
        "warnings": false
      },
      "sourceMap": false
    }));
  }

By the way: The DedupePlugin plugin was removed from Webpack. You should remove it from your configuration.

UPDATE:

In addition to my previous answer:

If you want to hide your code for release, try enclosejs.com. It allows you to:

  • make a release version of your application without sources
  • create a self-extracting archive or installer
  • Make a closed source GUI application
  • Put your assets inside the executable

C# DateTime to UTC Time without changing the time

Use the DateTime.SpecifyKind static method.

Creates a new DateTime object that has the same number of ticks as the specified DateTime, but is designated as either local time, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), or neither, as indicated by the specified DateTimeKind value.

Example:

DateTime dateTime = DateTime.Now;
DateTime other = DateTime.SpecifyKind(dateTime, DateTimeKind.Utc);

Console.WriteLine(dateTime + " " + dateTime.Kind); // 6/1/2011 4:14:54 PM Local
Console.WriteLine(other + " " + other.Kind);       // 6/1/2011 4:14:54 PM Utc

How to convert a date string to different format

I assume I have import datetime before running each of the lines of code below

datetime.datetime.strptime("2013-1-25", '%Y-%m-%d').strftime('%m/%d/%y')

prints "01/25/13".

If you can't live with the leading zero, try this:

dt = datetime.datetime.strptime("2013-1-25", '%Y-%m-%d')
print '{0}/{1}/{2:02}'.format(dt.month, dt.day, dt.year % 100)

This prints "1/25/13".

EDIT: This may not work on every platform:

datetime.datetime.strptime("2013-1-25", '%Y-%m-%d').strftime('%m/%d/%y')

MySQL CONCAT returns NULL if any field contain NULL

you can use if statement like below

select CONCAT(if(affiliate_name is null ,'',affiliate_name),'- ',if(model is null ,'',affiliate_name)) as model from devices

SQL Server: Make all UPPER case to Proper Case/Title Case

I think you will find that the following is more efficient:

IF OBJECT_ID('dbo.ProperCase') IS NOT NULL
    DROP FUNCTION dbo.ProperCase
GO
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.PROPERCASE (
    @str VARCHAR(8000))
RETURNS VARCHAR(8000)
AS
BEGIN
    SET @str = ' ' + @str
    SET @str = REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE( @str, ' a', ' A'), ' b', ' B'), ' c', ' C'), ' d', ' D'), ' e', ' E'), ' f', ' F'), ' g', ' G'), ' h', ' H'), ' i', ' I'), ' j', ' J'), ' k', ' K'), ' l', ' L'), ' m', ' M'), ' n', ' N'), ' o', ' O'), ' p', ' P'), ' q', ' Q'), ' r', ' R'), ' s', ' S'), ' t', ' T'), ' u', ' U'), ' v', ' V'), ' w', ' W'), ' x', ' X'), ' y', ' Y'), ' z', ' Z')
    RETURN RIGHT(@str, LEN(@str) - 1)
END
GO

The replace statement could be cut and pasted directly into a SQL query. It is ultra ugly, however by replacing @str with the column you are interested in, you will not pay a price for an implicit cursor like you will with the udfs thus posted. I find that even using my UDF it is much more efficient.

Oh and instead of generating the replace statement by hand use this:

-- Code Generator for expression
DECLARE @x  INT,
    @c  CHAR(1),
    @sql    VARCHAR(8000)
SET @x = 0
SET @sql = '@str' -- actual variable/column you want to replace
WHILE @x < 26
BEGIN
    SET @c = CHAR(ASCII('a') + @x)
    SET @sql = 'REPLACE(' + @sql + ', '' ' + @c+  ''', '' ' + UPPER(@c) + ''')'
    SET @x = @x + 1
END
PRINT @sql

Anyway it depends on the number of rows. I wish you could just do s/\b([a-z])/uc $1/, but oh well we work with the tools we have.

NOTE you would have to use this as you would have to use it as....SELECT dbo.ProperCase(LOWER(column)) since the column is in uppercase. It actually works pretty fast on my table of 5,000 entries (not even one second) even with the lower.

In response to the flurry of comments regarding internationalization I present the following implementation that handles every ascii character relying only on SQL Server's Implementation of upper and lower. Remember, the variables we are using here are VARCHAR which means that they can only hold ASCII values. In order to use further international alphabets, you have to use NVARCHAR. The logic would be similar but you would need to use UNICODE and NCHAR in place of ASCII AND CHAR and the replace statement would be much more huge....

-- Code Generator for expression
DECLARE @x  INT,
    @c  CHAR(1),
    @sql    VARCHAR(8000),
    @count  INT
SEt @x = 0
SET @count = 0
SET @sql = '@str' -- actual variable you want to replace
WHILE @x < 256
BEGIN
    SET @c = CHAR(@x)
    -- Only generate replacement expression for characters where upper and lowercase differ
    IF @x = ASCII(LOWER(@c)) AND @x != ASCII(UPPER(@c))
    BEGIN
        SET @sql = 'REPLACE(' + @sql + ', '' ' + @c+  ''', '' ' + UPPER(@c) + ''')'
        SET @count = @count + 1
    END
    SET @x = @x + 1
END
PRINT @sql
PRINT 'Total characters substituted: ' + CONVERT(VARCHAR(255), @count)

Basically the premise of the my method is trading pre-computing for efficiency. The full ASCII implementation is as follows:

IF OBJECT_ID('dbo.ProperCase') IS NOT NULL
    DROP FUNCTION dbo.ProperCase
GO
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.PROPERCASE (
    @str VARCHAR(8000))
RETURNS VARCHAR(8000)
AS
BEGIN
    SET @str = ' ' + @str
SET @str =     REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(@str, ' a', ' A'), ' b', ' B'), ' c', ' C'), ' d', ' D'), ' e', ' E'), ' f', ' F'), ' g', ' G'), ' h', ' H'), ' i', ' I'), ' j', ' J'), ' k', ' K'), ' l', ' L'), ' m', ' M'), ' n', ' N'), ' o', ' O'), ' p', ' P'), ' q', ' Q'), ' r', ' R'), ' s', ' S'), ' t', ' T'), ' u', ' U'), ' v', ' V'), ' w', ' W'), ' x', ' X'), ' y', ' Y'), ' z', ' Z'), ' š', ' Š'), ' œ', ' Œ'), ' ž', ' Ž'), ' à', ' À'), ' á', ' Á'), ' â', ' Â'), ' ã', ' Ã'), ' ä', ' Ä'), ' å', ' Å'), ' æ', ' Æ'), ' ç', ' Ç'), ' è', ' È'), ' é', ' É'), ' ê', ' Ê'), ' ë', ' Ë'), ' ì', ' Ì'), ' í', ' Í'), ' î', ' Î'), ' ï', ' Ï'), ' ð', ' Ð'), ' ñ', ' Ñ'), ' ò', ' Ò'), ' ó', ' Ó'), ' ô', ' Ô'), ' õ', ' Õ'), ' ö', ' Ö'), ' ø', ' Ø'), ' ù', ' Ù'), ' ú', ' Ú'), ' û', ' Û'), ' ü', ' Ü'), ' ý', ' Ý'), ' þ', ' Þ'), ' ÿ', ' Ÿ')
    RETURN RIGHT(@str, LEN(@str) - 1)
END

Can I make a phone call from HTML on Android?

Generally on Android, if you simply display the phone number, and the user taps on it, it will pull it up in the dialer. So, you could simply do

For more information, call us at <b>416-555-1234</b>

When the user taps on the bold part, since it's formatted like a phone number, the dialer will pop up, and show 4165551234 in the phone number field. The user then just has to hit the call button.

You might be able to do

For more information, call us at <a href='tel:416-555-1234'>416-555-1234</a>

to cover both devices, but I'm not sure how well this would work. I'll give it a try shortly and let you know.

EDIT: I just gave this a try on my HTC Magic running a rooted Rogers 1.5 with SenseUI:

For more information, call us at <a href='tel:416-555-1234'>416-555-1234</a><br />
<br />
Call at <a href='tel:416-555-1234'>our number</a>
<br />
<br />
<a href='416-555-1234'>Blah</a>
<br />
<br />
For more info, call <b>416-555-1234</b>

The first one, surrounding with the link and printing the phone number, worked perfectly. Pulled up the dialer with the hyphens and all. The second, saying our number with the link, worked exactly the same. This means that using <a href='tel:xxx-xxx-xxxx'> should work across the board, but I wouldn't suggest taking my one test as conclusive.

Linking straight to the number did the expected: Tried to pull up the nonexistent file from the server.

The last one did as I mentioned above, and pulled up the dialer, but without the nice formatting hyphens.

Creation timestamp and last update timestamp with Hibernate and MySQL

You can also use an interceptor to set the values

Create an interface called TimeStamped which your entities implement

public interface TimeStamped {
    public Date getCreatedDate();
    public void setCreatedDate(Date createdDate);
    public Date getLastUpdated();
    public void setLastUpdated(Date lastUpdatedDate);
}

Define the interceptor

public class TimeStampInterceptor extends EmptyInterceptor {

    public boolean onFlushDirty(Object entity, Serializable id, Object[] currentState, 
            Object[] previousState, String[] propertyNames, Type[] types) {
        if (entity instanceof TimeStamped) {
            int indexOf = ArrayUtils.indexOf(propertyNames, "lastUpdated");
            currentState[indexOf] = new Date();
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }

    public boolean onSave(Object entity, Serializable id, Object[] state, 
            String[] propertyNames, Type[] types) {
            if (entity instanceof TimeStamped) {
                int indexOf = ArrayUtils.indexOf(propertyNames, "createdDate");
                state[indexOf] = new Date();
                return true;
            }
            return false;
    }
}

And register it with the session factory

Run a JAR file from the command line and specify classpath

Alternatively, use the manifest to specify the class-path and main-class if you like, so then you don't need to use -cp or specify the main class. In your case it would contain lines like this:

Main-Class: com.test.App
Class-Path: lib/one.jar lib/two.jar

Unfortunately you need to spell out each jar in the manifest (not a biggie as you only do once, and you can use a script to build the file or use a build tool like ANT or Maven or Gradle). And the reference has to be a relative or absolute directory to where you run the java -jar MyJar.jar.

Then execute it with

java -jar MyJar.jar

Copy all the lines to clipboard

You can use "cat" command to open file and use mouse to copy

How to round the minute of a datetime object

A two line intuitive solution to round to a given time unit, here seconds, for a datetime object t:

format_str = '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'
t_rounded = datetime.strptime(datetime.strftime(t, format_str), format_str)

If you wish to round to a different unit simply alter format_str.

This approach does not round to arbitrary time amounts as above methods, but is a nicely Pythonic way to round to a given hour, minute or second.

Query Mongodb on month, day, year... of a datetime

You can find record by month, day, year etc of dates by Date Aggregation Operators, like $dayOfYear, $dayOfWeek, $month, $year etc.

As an example if you want all the orders which are created in April 2016 you can use below query.

db.getCollection('orders').aggregate(
   [
     {
       $project:
         {
           doc: "$$ROOT",
           year: { $year: "$created" },
           month: { $month: "$created" },
           day: { $dayOfMonth: "$created" }
         }
     },
     { $match : { "month" : 4, "year": 2016 } }
   ]
)

Here created is a date type field in documents, and $$ROOT we used to pass all other field to project in next stage, and give us all the detail of documents.

You can optimize above query as per your need, it is just to give an example. To know more about Date Aggregation Operators, visit the link.

Javascript replace all "%20" with a space

Short answer:

str.replace(/%20/g, " ");

EDIT: In this case you could also do the following:

Find the IP address of the client in an SSH session

One thumb up for @Nikhil Katre's answer :

Simplest command to get the last 10 users logged in to the machine is last|head.

To get all the users simply use last command

The one using who or pinky did what is basically asked. But But But they don't give historical sessions info.

Which might also be interesting if you want to know someone who has just logged in and logged out already when you start this checking.

if it is a multiuser system. I recommand add the user account you are looking for:

last | grep $USER | head

EDIT:

In my case, both $SSH_CLIENT and $SSH_CONNECTION do not exist.

Double Iteration in List Comprehension

Order of iterators may seem counter-intuitive.

Take for example: [str(x) for i in range(3) for x in foo(i)]

Let's decompose it:

def foo(i):
    return i, i + 0.5

[str(x)
    for i in range(3)
        for x in foo(i)
]

# is same as
for i in range(3):
    for x in foo(i):
        yield str(x)

Set textbox to readonly and background color to grey in jquery

Why don't you place the account number in a div. Style it as you please and then have a hidden input in the form that also contains the account number. Then when the form gets submitted, the value should come through and not be null.

How to insert a line break in a SQL Server VARCHAR/NVARCHAR string

All of these options work depending on your situation, but you may not see any of them work if you're using SSMS (as mentioned in some comments SSMS hides CR/LFs)

So rather than driving yourself round the bend, Check this setting in

Tools | Options

which will replace the

java : non-static variable cannot be referenced from a static context Error

The simplest change would be something like this:

public static void main (String[] args) throws Exception {
  testconnect obj = new testconnect();
  obj.con2 = DriverManager.getConnection(obj.getConnectionUrl2());
  obj.con2.close();
}

Why does GitHub recommend HTTPS over SSH?

It's possible to argue that using SSHs key to authenticate is less secure because we tend to change our password more periodically than we generate new SSH keys.

Servers that limit the lifespan for which they'll honor given SSH keys can help force users toward the practice of refreshing SSH-keys periodically.

Boxplot in R showing the mean

With ggplot2:

p<-qplot(spray,count,data=InsectSprays,geom='boxplot')
p<-p+stat_summary(fun.y=mean,shape=1,col='red',geom='point')
print(p)

Importing from a relative path in Python

Approch used by me is similar to Gary Beardsley mentioned above with small change.

Filename: Server.py

import os, sys
script_path = os.path.realpath(os.path.dirname(__name__))
os.chdir(script_path)
sys.path.append("..")
# above mentioned steps will make 1 level up module available for import
# here Client, Server and Common all 3 can be imported.

# below mentioned import will be relative to root project
from Common import Common
from Client import Client

"You have mail" message in terminal, os X

Probably it is some message from your system.

Type in terminal:

man mail

, and see how can you get this message from your system.

error LNK2038: mismatch detected for '_MSC_VER': value '1600' doesn't match value '1700' in CppFile1.obj

You are trying to link objects compiled by different versions of the compiler. That's not supported in modern versions of VS, at least not if you are using the C++ standard library. Different versions of the standard library are binary incompatible and so you need all the inputs to the linker to be compiled with the same version. Make sure you re-compile all the objects that are to be linked.

The compiler error names the objects involved so the information the the question already has the answer you are looking for. Specifically it seems that the static library that you are linking needs to be re-compiled.

So the solution is to recompile Projectname1.lib with VS2012.

Difference between clustered and nonclustered index

In general, use an index on a column that's going to be used (a lot) to search the table, such as a primary key (which by default has a clustered index). For example, if you have the query (in pseudocode)

SELECT * FROM FOO WHERE FOO.BAR = 2

You might want to put an index on FOO.BAR. A clustered index should be used on a column that will be used for sorting. A clustered index is used to sort the rows on disk, so you can only have one per table. For example if you have the query

SELECT * FROM FOO ORDER BY FOO.BAR ASCENDING

You might want to consider a clustered index on FOO.BAR.

Probably the most important consideration is how much time your queries are taking. If a query doesn't take much time or isn't used very often, it may not be worth adding indexes. As always, profile first, then optimize. SQL Server Studio can give you suggestions on where to optimize, and MSDN has some information1 that you might find useful

.setAttribute("disabled", false); changes editable attribute to false

A disabled element is, (self-explaining) disabled and thereby logically not editable, so:

set the disabled attribute [...] changes the editable attribute too

Is an intended and well-defined behaviour.

The real problem here seems to be you're trying to set disabled to false via setAttribute() which doesn't do what you're expecting. an element is disabled if the disabled-attribute is set, independent of it's value (so, disabled="true", disabled="disabled" and disabled="false" all do the same: the element gets disabled). you should instead remove the complete attribute:

element.removeAttribute("disabled");

or set that property directly:

element.disabled = false;

Transposing a 1D NumPy array

You can convert an existing vector into a matrix by wrapping it in an extra set of square brackets...

from numpy import *
v=array([5,4]) ## create a numpy vector
array([v]).T ## transpose a vector into a matrix

numpy also has a matrix class (see array vs. matrix)...

matrix(v).T ## transpose a vector into a matrix

How to deal with "data of class uneval" error from ggplot2?

when you add a new data set to a geom you need to use the data= argument. Or put the arguments in the proper order mapping=..., data=.... Take a look at the arguments for ?geom_line.

Thus:

p + geom_line(data=df.last, aes(HrEnd, MWh, group=factor(Date)), color="red") 

Or:

p + geom_line(aes(HrEnd, MWh, group=factor(Date)), df.last, color="red") 

Javascript Array.sort implementation?

There is no draft requirement for JS to use a specific sorting algorthim. As many have mentioned here, Mozilla uses merge sort.However, In Chrome's v8 source code, as of today, it uses QuickSort and InsertionSort, for smaller arrays.

V8 Engine Source

From Lines 807 - 891

  var QuickSort = function QuickSort(a, from, to) {
    var third_index = 0;
    while (true) {

        InsertionSort(a, from, to);
        return;
      }
      if (to - from > 1000) {
        third_index = GetThirdIndex(a, from, to);

What's the best way to limit text length of EditText in Android

Another way you can achieve this is by adding the following definition to the XML file:

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/input"
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:inputType="number"
    android:maxLength="6"
    android:hint="@string/hint_gov"
    android:layout_weight="1"/>

This will limit the maximum length of the EditText widget to 6 characters.

How to enable C++11/C++0x support in Eclipse CDT?

For the latest (Juno) eclipse cdt the following worked for me, no need to declare __GXX_EXPERIMENTAL_CXX0X__ on myself. This works for the the CDT indexer and as parameter for the compiler:

"your project name" -> right click -> properties:

C/C++ General -> Preprocessor Include Paths, Macros etc. -> switch to the tab named "Providers":

  • for "Configuration" select "Release" (and afterwards "debug")

  • switch off all providers and just select "CDT GCC Built-in Compiler Settings"

  • uncheck "Share setting entries between projects (global provider)"

  • in the "Command to get compiler specs:" add "-std=c++11" without the quotes (may work with quotes too)

  • hit apply and close the options

  • rebuild the index

Now all the c++11 related stuff should be resolved correctly by the indexer.

Escape double quotes in a string

Please explain your problem. You say:

But this involves adding character " to the string.

What problem is that? You can't type string foo = "Foo"bar"";, because that'll invoke a compile error. As for the adding part, in string size terms that is not true:

@"""".Length == "\"".Length == 1

Access to file download dialog in Firefox

I had the same problem, I wanted no access of Save Dialogue.

Below code can help:

    FirefoxProfile fp = new FirefoxProfile();
    fp.setPreference("browser.download.folderList",2);
    fp.setPreference("browser.download.manager.showWhenStarting",false);
    fp.setPreference("browser.helperApps.alwaysAsk.force", false);
    // Below you have to set the content-type of downloading file(I have set simple CSV file)
    fp.setPreference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk","text/csv");

According to the file type which is being downloaded, You need to specify content types.

You can specify multiple content-types separated with ' ; '

e.g:

    fp.setPreference("browser.helperApps.neverAsk.saveToDisk","text/csv;application/vnd.ms-excel;application/msword");

Error in setting JAVA_HOME

You are pointing your JAVA_HOME to the JRE which is the Java Runtime Environment. The runtime environment doesn't have a java compiler in its bin folder. You should download the JDK which is the Java Development Kit. Once you've installed that, you can see in your bin folder that there's a file called javac.exe. That's your compiler.

How do I run a simple bit of code in a new thread?

// following declaration of delegate ,,,
public delegate long GetEnergyUsageDelegate(DateTime lastRunTime, 
                                            DateTime procDateTime);

// following inside of some client method
GetEnergyUsageDelegate nrgDel = GetEnergyUsage;
IAsyncResult aR = nrgDel.BeginInvoke(lastRunTime, procDT, null, null);
while (!aR.IsCompleted) Thread.Sleep(500);
int usageCnt = nrgDel.EndInvoke(aR);

Charles your code(above) is not correct. You do not need to spin wait for completion. EndInvoke will block until the WaitHandle is signaled.

If you want to block until completion you simply need to

nrgDel.EndInvoke(nrgDel.BeginInvoke(lastRuntime,procDT,null,null));

or alternatively

ar.AsyncWaitHandle.WaitOne();

But what is the point of issuing anyc calls if you block? You might as well just use a synchronous call. A better bet would be to not block and pass in a lambda for cleanup:

nrgDel.BeginInvoke(lastRuntime,procDT,(ar)=> {ar.EndInvoke(ar);},null);

One thing to keep in mind is that you must call EndInvoke. A lot of people forget this and end up leaking the WaitHandle as most async implementations release the waithandle in EndInvoke.

Java regex to extract text between tags

A generic,simpler and a bit primitive approach to find tag, attribute and value

    Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("<(\\w+)( +.+)*>((.*))</\\1>");
    System.out.println(pattern.matcher("<asd> TEST</asd>").find());
    System.out.println(pattern.matcher("<asd TEST</asd>").find());
    System.out.println(pattern.matcher("<asd attr='3'> TEST</asd>").find());
    System.out.println(pattern.matcher("<asd> <x>TEST<x>asd>").find());
    System.out.println("-------");
    Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher("<as x> TEST</as>");
    if (matcher.find()) {
        for (int i = 0; i <= matcher.groupCount(); i++) {
            System.out.println(i + ":" + matcher.group(i));
        }
    }

convert HTML ( having Javascript ) to PDF using JavaScript

With Docmosis or JODReports you could feed your HTML and Javascript to the document render process which could produce PDF or doc or other formats. The conversion underneath is performed by OpenOffice so results will be dependent on the OpenOffice import filters. You can try manually by saving your web page to a file, then loading with OpenOffice - if that looks good enough, then these tools will be able to give you the same result as a PDF.

jQuery AJAX Character Encoding

I have faced same problem and tried several ways. And i found the solution. If you set request header for "Accept" like below;

$.ajax({
        data: parameters,
        type: "POST",
        url: ajax_url,
        dataType: 'json',
        beforeSend : function(xhr) {
            xhr.setRequestHeader('Accept', "text/html; charset=utf-8");
        },
        success: callback
});

you will see that all the characters seems correct

Folder structure for a Node.js project

There is a discussion on GitHub because of a question similar to this one: https://gist.github.com/1398757

You can use other projects for guidance, search in GitHub for:

  • ThreeNodes.js - in my opinion, seems to have a specific structure not suitable for every project;
  • lighter - an more simple structure, but lacks a bit of organization;

And finally, in a book (http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920025344.do) suggests this structure:

+-- index.html
+-- js/
¦   +-- main.js
¦   +-- models/
¦   +-- views/
¦   +-- collections/
¦   +-- templates/
¦   +-- libs/
¦       +-- backbone/
¦       +-- underscore/
¦       +-- ...
+-- css/
+-- ...

Getting the thread ID from a thread

You can use Thread.GetHashCode, which returns the managed thread ID. If you think about the purpose of GetHashCode, this makes good sense -- it needs to be a unique identifier (e.g. key in a dictionary) for the object (the thread).

The reference source for the Thread class is instructive here. (Granted, a particular .NET implementation may not be based on this source code, but for debugging purposes I'll take my chances.)

GetHashCode "provides this hash code for algorithms that need quick checks of object equality," so it is well-suited for checking Thread equality -- for example to assert that a particular method is executing on the thread you wanted it called from.

              child: ClipRRect(
                borderRadius: BorderRadius.only(
                    topLeft: Radius.circular(25)
                ,bottomLeft: Radius.circular(25)),
                child: Image.asset(
                  'assets/images/pic13.jpeg',
                  fit: BoxFit.cover,
                ),
