WARNING: Exception encountered during context initialization - cancelling refresh attempt

This was my stupidity, but a stupidity that was not easy to identify :).

Problem:

  1. My code is compiled on Jdk 1.8.
  2. My eclipse, had JDK 1.8 as the compiler.
  3. My tomcat in eclipse was using Java 1.7 for its container, hence it was not able to understand the .class files which were compiled using 1.8.
  4. To avoid the problem, ensure in your eclipse, double click on your server -> Open Launch configuration -> Classpath -> JRE System Library -> Give the JDK/JRE of the compiled version of java class, in my case, it had to be JDK 1.8
    1. Post this, clean the server, build and redeploy, start the tomcat.

If you are deploying manually into your server, ensure your JAVA_HOME, JDK_HOME points to the correct JDK which you used to compile the project and build the war.

If you do not like to change JAVA_HOME, JDK_HOME, you can always change the JAVA_HOME and JDK_HOME in catalina.bat(for tomcat server) and that'll enable your life to be easy!

No found for dependency: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate for this dependency. Dependency annotations:

Look at the exception:

No qualifying bean of type [edu.java.spring.ws.dao.UserDao] found for dependency

This means that there's no bean available to fulfill that dependency. Yes, you have an implementation of the interface, but you haven't created a bean for that implementation. You have two options:

  • Annotate UserDaoImpl with @Component or @Repository, and let the component scan do the work for you, exactly as you have done with UserService.
  • Add the bean manually to your xml file, the same you have done with UserBoImpl.

Remember that if you create the bean explicitly you need to put the definition before the component scan. In this case the order is important.

Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener

If you are sure you haven't messed the jar, then please clean the project and perform mvn clean install. This should solve the problem.

Could not resolve placeholder in string value

In my case I had the same issue on running from eclipse. Just did the following to resolve it: Right Click the Project --> Mavan --> Update Project.

And it worked!

BeanFactory not initialized or already closed - call 'refresh' before

The issue here is that the version of spring-web that you're using (3.1.1-RELEASE) is not compatible with the version of spring-beans that you're using (3.0.2-RELEASE). At the top of the stack you can see the NoSuchMethodError which in turn triggers the BeanFactory not initialized... exception.

The NoSuchMethodError is caused because the method invocation XmlWebApplicationContext.loadBeanDefinitions() in spring-web is trying to call XmlBeanDefinitionReader.setEnvironment() in spring-beans which doesn't exist in 3.0.2-RELEASE. It does however exist in 3.1.1-RELEASE - as setEnvironment is inherited from the parent AbstractBeanDefinitionReader.

To resolve, you'd probably be best to upgrade the spring-beans jar to 3.1.1-RELEASE. The version for this jar appears to be parameterized in your pom.xml and is controlled by the property org.springframework.version further down in the file.

org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No bean named 'customerService' is defined

Please make sure that your applicationContext.xml file is loaded by specifying it in your web.xml file:

    <context-param>
        <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
        <param-value>/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml</param-value>
    </context-param>

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name

According to the stack trace, your issue is that your app cannot find org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource, as per this line:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource

I see that you have commons-dbcp in your list of jars, but for whatever reason, your app is not finding the BasicDataSource class in it.

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener

I ran into this a couple times a quarter. This time I had a minimal change summary in my git diff and tracked the problem to a reset classpath (missing my WEB-INF/lib dependency) in eclipse. This seems to occur any time I pull in or pull out parent/sibling maven projects.

There are mentions of adding your spring jars to the tomcat web container lib - this is ok and is the way most EE servers run. However be aware that by placing spring higher in the classloader tree on tomcat you will be running higher than the classloader level of your war context. I recommend you leave the libs in a per/war lower level classloader.

We see the following after a truncated .classpath after a structural project change in eclipse.

Dec 18, 2016 11:13:39 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext listenerStart
SEVERE: Error configuring application listener of class org.springframework.web.context.request.RequestContextListener
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.web.context.request.RequestContextListener

My classpath was reset and the WEB-INF/lib dependency was removed.

<classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.m2e.MAVEN2_CLASSPATH_CONTAINER">
    <attributes>
        <attribute name="maven.pomderived" value="true"/>
        <attribute name="org.eclipse.jst.component.dependency" value="/WEB-INF/lib"/>
    </attributes>
</classpathentry>

put back

<attribute name="org.eclipse.jst.component.dependency" value="/WEB-INF/lib"/>

and you will be OK.

thank you /michael

Could not resolve Spring property placeholder

I still believe its to do with the props file not being located by spring. Do a quick test by passing the params as jvm params. i.e -Didm.url=....

Error : java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.objectweb.asm.ClassWriter.<init>(I)V

You have an incompatibility between the version of ASM required by Hibernate (asm-1.5.3.jar) and the one required by Spring. But, actually, I wonder why you have asm-2.2.3.jar on your classpath (ASM is bundled in spring.jar and spring-core.jar to avoid such problems AFAIK). See HHH-2222.

org.springframework.beans.factory.CannotLoadBeanClassException: Cannot find class

I have the same problem. I checked my /WEB-INF/classes based on Stephen's recommendation:

the class is not in your webapp's /WEB-INF/classes directory tree or a JAR file in the /WEB-INF/lib directory.

I discovered I have an outdated jar file. Replacing it with the latest jar file solved the issue.

How to move/rename a file using an Ansible task on a remote system

Another Option that has worked well for me is using the synchronize module . Then remove the original directory using the file module.

Here is an example from the docs:

- synchronize:
    src: /first/absolute/path
    dest: /second/absolute/path
    archive: yes
  delegate_to: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"

How to change working directory in Jupyter Notebook?

First you need to create the config file, using cmd : jupyter notebook --generate-config Then, search for C:\Users\your_username\.jupyter folder (Search for that folder), and right click edit the jupyter_notebook_config.py.

Then, Ctrl+F: #c.NotebookApp.notebook_dir ='' . Note that the quotes are single quotes. Select your directory you want to have as home for your jupyter, and copy it with Ctrl+C, for example: C:\Users\username\Python Projects.

Then on that line, paste it like this : c.NotebookApp.notebook_dir = 'C:\\Users\\username\\Python Projects'

Make sure to remove #, as it is as comment.

Make sure to double slash \\ on each name of your path. Ctrl+S to save the config.py file !!!

Go back to your cmd and run jupyter notebook. It should be in your directory of choice. Test it by making a folder and watch your directory from your computer.

Retrofit 2.0 how to get deserialised error response.body

try{

Get AVG ignoring Null or Zero values

NULL is already ignored so you can use NULLIF to turn 0 to NULL. Also you don't need DISTINCT and your WHERE on ActualTime is not sargable.

SELECT AVG(cast(NULLIF(a.SecurityW, 0) AS BIGINT)) AS Average1,
       AVG(cast(NULLIF(a.TransferW, 0) AS BIGINT)) AS Average2,
       AVG(cast(NULLIF(a.StaffW, 0) AS BIGINT))    AS Average3
FROM   Table1 a
WHERE  a.ActualTime >= '20130401'
       AND a.ActualTime < '20130501' 

PS I have no idea what Table2 b is in the original query for as there is no join condition for it so have omitted it from my answer.

Understanding CUDA grid dimensions, block dimensions and threads organization (simple explanation)

Suppose a 9800GT GPU:

  • it has 14 multiprocessors (SM)
  • each SM has 8 thread-processors (AKA stream-processors, SP or cores)
  • allows up to 512 threads per block
  • warpsize is 32 (which means each of the 14x8=112 thread-processors can schedule up to 32 threads)

https://www.tutorialspoint.com/cuda/cuda_threads.htm

A block cannot have more active threads than 512 therefore __syncthreads can only synchronize limited number of threads. i.e. If you execute the following with 600 threads:

func1();
__syncthreads();
func2();
__syncthreads();

then the kernel must run twice and the order of execution will be:

  1. func1 is executed for the first 512 threads
  2. func2 is executed for the first 512 threads
  3. func1 is executed for the remaining threads
  4. func2 is executed for the remaining threads

Note:

The main point is __syncthreads is a block-wide operation and it does not synchronize all threads.


I'm not sure about the exact number of threads that __syncthreads can synchronize, since you can create a block with more than 512 threads and let the warp handle the scheduling. To my understanding it's more accurate to say: func1 is executed at least for the first 512 threads.

Before I edited this answer (back in 2010) I measured 14x8x32 threads were synchronized using __syncthreads.

I would greatly appreciate if someone test this again for a more accurate piece of information.

How to make UIButton's text alignment center? Using IB

How to use HTTP.GET in AngularJS correctly? In specific, for an external API call?

Try this

myApp.config(['$httpProvider', function($httpProvider) {
        $httpProvider.defaults.useXDomain = true;
        delete $httpProvider.defaults.headers.common['X-Requested-With'];
    }
]);

Just setting useXDomain = true is not enough. AJAX request are also send with the X-Requested-With header, which indicate them as being AJAX. Removing the header is necessary, so the server is not rejecting the incoming request.

H2 database error: Database may be already in use: "Locked by another process"

I'm using h2db with a test T24 tafj application, I had the same problem but I managed to resolve it by identifying the application that is running h2 (launched when I attempted to setup a database connection).

ps aux|grep java

will give output as:

sysadmin 22755  3.2  0.1 5189724 64008 pts/3   Sl   08:28   0:00 /usr/java/default/bin/java -server -Xmx2048M -XX:MaxPermSize=256M -cp h2-1.3.175.jar:/r14tafj/TAFJ/dbscripts/h2/TAFJFunctions.jar org.h2.tools.Server -tcp -tcpAllowOthers -baseDir /r14tafj/t24/data

now kill this with its process id:

kill -9 22755

and at last remove the lock file:

rm -f dbname.lock.db

Why is using onClick() in HTML a bad practice?

If you are using jQuery then:

HTML:

 <a id="openMap" href="/map/">link</a>

JS:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#openMap").click(function(){
        popup('/map/', 300, 300, 'map');
        return false;
    });
});

This has the benefit of still working without JS, or if the user middle clicks the link.

It also means that I could handle generic popups by rewriting again to:

HTML:

 <a class="popup" href="/map/">link</a>

JS:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $(".popup").click(function(){
        popup($(this).attr("href"), 300, 300, 'map');
        return false;
    });
});

This would let you add a popup to any link by just giving it the popup class.

This idea could be extended even further like so:

HTML:

 <a class="popup" data-width="300" data-height="300" href="/map/">link</a>

JS:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $(".popup").click(function(){
        popup($(this).attr("href"), $(this).data('width'), $(this).data('height'), 'map');
        return false;
    });
});

I can now use the same bit of code for lots of popups on my whole site without having to write loads of onclick stuff! Yay for reusability!

It also means that if later on I decide that popups are bad practice, (which they are!) and that I want to replace them with a lightbox style modal window, I can change:

popup($(this).attr("href"), $(this).data('width'), $(this).data('height'), 'map');

to

myAmazingModalWindow($(this).attr("href"), $(this).data('width'), $(this).data('height'), 'map');

and all my popups on my whole site are now working totally differently. I could even do feature detection to decide what to do on a popup, or store a users preference to allow them or not. With the inline onclick, this requires a huge copy and pasting effort.

Stopping Excel Macro executution when pressing Esc won't work

I forgot to comment out a line with a MsgBox before executing my macro. Meaning I'd have to click OK over a hundred thousand times. The ESC key was just escaping the message box but not stopping the execution of the macro. Holding the ESC key continuously for a few seconds helped me stop the execution of the code.

Dynamically Fill Jenkins Choice Parameter With Git Branches In a Specified Repo

You can accomplish the same using the extended choice parameter plugin before mentioned by malenkiy_scot and a simple php script as follows(assuming you have somewhere a server to deploy php scripts that you can hit from the Jenkins machine)

<?php
chdir('/path/to/repo');
exec('git branch -r', $output);
print('branches='.str_replace('  origin/','',implode(',', $output)));
?>

or

<?php
exec('git ls-remote -h http://user:[email protected]', $output);
print('branches='.preg_replace('/[a-z0-9]*\trefs\/heads\//','',implode(',', $output)));
?>

With the first option you would need to clone the repo. With the second one you don't, but in both cases you need git installed in the server hosting your php script. Whit any of this options it gets fully dynamic, you don't need to build a list file. Simply put the URL to your script in the extended choice parameter "property file" field.

Modify property value of the objects in list using Java 8 streams

You can do it using streams map function like below, get result in new stream for further processing.

Stream<Fruit> newFruits = fruits.stream().map(fruit -> {fruit.name+="s"; return fruit;});
        newFruits.forEach(fruit->{
            System.out.println(fruit.name);
        });

How do I tell if a regular file does not exist in Bash?

To test file existence, the parameter can be any one of the following:

-e: Returns true if file exists (regular file, directory, or symlink)
-f: Returns true if file exists and is a regular file
-d: Returns true if file exists and is a directory
-h: Returns true if file exists and is a symlink

All the tests below apply to regular files, directories, and symlinks:

-r: Returns true if file exists and is readable
-w: Returns true if file exists and is writable
-x: Returns true if file exists and is executable
-s: Returns true if file exists and has a size > 0

Example script:

#!/bin/bash
FILE=$1

if [ -f "$FILE" ]; then
   echo "File $FILE exists"
else
   echo "File $FILE does not exist"
fi

NullInjectorError: No provider for AngularFirestore

Open: ./src/app/app.module.ts
And import Firebase Modules at the top:

import { environment } from '../environments/environment';
import { AngularFireModule } from 'angularfire2';
import { AngularFirestoreModule } from 'angularfire2/firestore';

And VERY IMPORTANT:
Remember to update 'imports' in NgModule:

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent,
    OtherComponent // Add other components here
    ...
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    AngularFireModule.initializeApp(environment.firebase, 'your-APP-name-here'),
    AngularFirestoreModule
  ],
  ...
})

Give it a try, it shall now work.
For detailed information follow the angularfire2 documentation:

Good luck!

tar: add all files and directories in current directory INCLUDING .svn and so on

There are a couple of steps to take:

  1. Replace * by . to include hidden files as well.
  2. To create the archive in the same directory a --exclude=workspace.tar.gz can be used to exclude the archive itself.
  3. To prevent the tar: .: file changed as we read it error when the archive is not yet created, make sure it exists (e.g. using touch), so the --exclude matches with the archive filename. (It does not match it the file does not exists)

Combined this results in the following script:

touch workspace.tar.gz
tar -czf workspace.tar.gz --exclude=workspace.tar.gz .

jQuery checkbox event handling

$('#myform :checkbox').change(function() {
    // this will contain a reference to the checkbox   
    if (this.checked) {
        // the checkbox is now checked 
    } else {
        // the checkbox is now no longer checked
    }
});

Difference between exit() and sys.exit() in Python

exit is a helper for the interactive shell - sys.exit is intended for use in programs.

The site module (which is imported automatically during startup, except if the -S command-line option is given) adds several constants to the built-in namespace (e.g. exit). They are useful for the interactive interpreter shell and should not be used in programs.


Technically, they do mostly the same: raising SystemExit. sys.exit does so in sysmodule.c:

static PyObject *
sys_exit(PyObject *self, PyObject *args)
{
    PyObject *exit_code = 0;
    if (!PyArg_UnpackTuple(args, "exit", 0, 1, &exit_code))
        return NULL;
    /* Raise SystemExit so callers may catch it or clean up. */
    PyErr_SetObject(PyExc_SystemExit, exit_code);
   return NULL;
}

While exit is defined in site.py and _sitebuiltins.py, respectively.

class Quitter(object):
    def __init__(self, name):
        self.name = name
    def __repr__(self):
        return 'Use %s() or %s to exit' % (self.name, eof)
    def __call__(self, code=None):
        # Shells like IDLE catch the SystemExit, but listen when their
        # stdin wrapper is closed.
        try:
            sys.stdin.close()
        except:
            pass
        raise SystemExit(code)
__builtin__.quit = Quitter('quit')
__builtin__.exit = Quitter('exit')

Note that there is a third exit option, namely os._exit, which exits without calling cleanup handlers, flushing stdio buffers, etc. (and which should normally only be used in the child process after a fork()).

numpy: most efficient frequency counts for unique values in an array

As of Numpy 1.9, the easiest and fastest method is to simply use numpy.unique, which now has a return_counts keyword argument:

import numpy as np

x = np.array([1,1,1,2,2,2,5,25,1,1])
unique, counts = np.unique(x, return_counts=True)

print np.asarray((unique, counts)).T

Which gives:

 [[ 1  5]
  [ 2  3]
  [ 5  1]
  [25  1]]

A quick comparison with scipy.stats.itemfreq:

In [4]: x = np.random.random_integers(0,100,1e6)

In [5]: %timeit unique, counts = np.unique(x, return_counts=True)
10 loops, best of 3: 31.5 ms per loop

In [6]: %timeit scipy.stats.itemfreq(x)
10 loops, best of 3: 170 ms per loop

Python 3 TypeError: must be str, not bytes with sys.stdout.write()

Python 3 handles strings a bit different. Originally there was just one type for strings: str. When unicode gained traction in the '90s the new unicode type was added to handle Unicode without breaking pre-existing code1. This is effectively the same as str but with multibyte support.

In Python 3 there are two different types:

  • The bytes type. This is just a sequence of bytes, Python doesn't know anything about how to interpret this as characters.
  • The str type. This is also a sequence of bytes, but Python knows how to interpret those bytes as characters.
  • The separate unicode type was dropped. str now supports unicode.

In Python 2 implicitly assuming an encoding could cause a lot of problems; you could end up using the wrong encoding, or the data may not have an encoding at all (e.g. it’s a PNG image).
Explicitly telling Python which encoding to use (or explicitly telling it to guess) is often a lot better and much more in line with the "Python philosophy" of "explicit is better than implicit".

This change is incompatible with Python 2 as many return values have changed, leading to subtle problems like this one; it's probably the main reason why Python 3 adoption has been so slow. Since Python doesn't have static typing2 it's impossible to change this automatically with a script (such as the bundled 2to3).

  • You can convert str to bytes with bytes('h€llo', 'utf-8'); this should produce b'H\xe2\x82\xacllo'. Note how one character was converted to three bytes.
  • You can convert bytes to str with b'H\xe2\x82\xacllo'.decode('utf-8').

Of course, UTF-8 may not be the correct character set in your case, so be sure to use the correct one.

In your specific piece of code, nextline is of type bytes, not str, reading stdout and stdin from subprocess changed in Python 3 from str to bytes. This is because Python can't be sure which encoding this uses. It probably uses the same as sys.stdin.encoding (the encoding of your system), but it can't be sure.

You need to replace:

sys.stdout.write(nextline)

with:

sys.stdout.write(nextline.decode('utf-8'))

or maybe:

sys.stdout.write(nextline.decode(sys.stdout.encoding))

You will also need to modify if nextline == '' to if nextline == b'' since:

>>> '' == b''
False

Also see the Python 3 ChangeLog, PEP 358, and PEP 3112.


1 There are some neat tricks you can do with ASCII that you can't do with multibyte character sets; the most famous example is the "xor with space to switch case" (e.g. chr(ord('a') ^ ord(' ')) == 'A') and "set 6th bit to make a control character" (e.g. ord('\t') + ord('@') == ord('I')). ASCII was designed in a time when manipulating individual bits was an operation with a non-negligible performance impact.

2 Yes, you can use function annotations, but it's a comparatively new feature and little used.

How to read from a file or STDIN in Bash?

The following solution reads from a file if the script is called with a file name as the first parameter $1 otherwise from standard input.

while read line
do
  echo "$line"
done < "${1:-/dev/stdin}"

The substitution ${1:-...} takes $1 if defined otherwise the file name of the standard input of the own process is used.

How can I sanitize user input with PHP?

To address the XSS issue, take a look at HTML Purifier. It is fairly configurable and has a decent track record.

As for the SQL injection attacks, make sure you check the user input, and then run it though mysql_real_escape_string(). The function won't defeat all injection attacks, though, so it is important that you check the data before dumping it into your query string.

A better solution is to use prepared statements. The PDO library and mysqli extension support these.

Error on line 2 at column 1: Extra content at the end of the document

You might have output (maybe error/debug output) that precedes your call to

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

Therefore, the content being delivered to the browser is not "xml"... that's what the error message is trying to tell you (at least that was the case for me and I had the same error message as you've described).

Change the maximum upload file size

I also had this issue, and fixed it by setting this setting in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

client_max_body_size 0;

0, as in unlimited.

And also, if you have a reverse proxy running with nginx, that server should also have this setting (This is what threw me off here)

how to detect search engine bots with php?

Because any client can set the user-agent to what they want, looking for 'Googlebot', 'bingbot' etc is only half the job.

The 2nd part is verifying the client's IP. In the old days this required maintaining IP lists. All the lists you find online are outdated. The top search engines officially support verification through DNS, as explained by Google https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/80553 and Bing http://www.bing.com/webmaster/help/how-to-verify-bingbot-3905dc26

At first perform a reverse DNS lookup of the client IP. For Google this brings a host name under googlebot.com, for Bing it's under search.msn.com. Then, because someone could set such a reverse DNS on his IP, you need to verify with a forward DNS lookup on that hostname. If the resulting IP is the same as the one of the site's visitor, you're sure it's a crawler from that search engine.

I've written a library in Java that performs these checks for you. Feel free to port it to PHP. It's on GitHub: https://github.com/optimaize/webcrawler-verifier

How to redirect verbose garbage collection output to a file?

To add to the above answers, there's a good article: Useful JVM Flags – Part 8 (GC Logging) by Patrick Peschlow.

A brief excerpt:

The flag -XX:+PrintGC (or the alias -verbose:gc) activates the “simple” GC logging mode

By default the GC log is written to stdout. With -Xloggc:<file> we may instead specify an output file. Note that this flag implicitly sets -XX:+PrintGC and -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps as well.

If we use -XX:+PrintGCDetails instead of -XX:+PrintGC, we activate the “detailed” GC logging mode which differs depending on the GC algorithm used.

With -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps a timestamp reflecting the real time passed in seconds since JVM start is added to every line.

If we specify -XX:+PrintGCDateStamps each line starts with the absolute date and time.

I got error "The DELETE statement conflicted with the REFERENCE constraint"

To DELETE, without changing the references, you should first delete or otherwise alter (in a manner suitable for your purposes) all relevant rows in other tables.

To TRUNCATE you must remove the references. TRUNCATE is a DDL statement (comparable to CREATE and DROP) not a DML statement (like INSERT and DELETE) and doesn't cause triggers, whether explicit or those associated with references and other constraints, to be fired. Because of this, the database could be put into an inconsistent state if TRUNCATE was allowed on tables with references. This was a rule when TRUNCATE was an extension to the standard used by some systems, and is mandated by the the standard, now that it has been added.

Reloading submodules in IPython

Module named importlib allow to access to import internals. Especially, it provide function importlib.reload():

import importlib
importlib.reload(my_module)

In contrary of %autoreload, importlib.reload() also reset global variables set in module. In most cases, it is what you want.

importlib is only available since Python 3.1. For older version, you have to use module imp.

RAW POST using cURL in PHP

I just found the solution, kind of answering to my own question in case anyone else stumbles upon it.

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,            "http://url/url/url" );
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1 );
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST,           1 );
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,     "body goes here" ); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,     array('Content-Type: text/plain')); 

$result=curl_exec ($ch);

Bad Request, Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand

I got Bad Request, Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand when I tried to download a file to the target machine using curl.
I solved it by instead using scp to copy the file from the source machine to the target machine.

Is generator.next() visible in Python 3?

If your code must run under Python2 and Python3, use the 2to3 six library like this:

How to use Comparator in Java to sort

For the sake of completeness, here's a simple one-liner compare method:

Collections.sort(people, new Comparator<Person>() {
    @Override
    public int compare(Person lhs, Person rhs) {  
        return Integer.signum(lhs.getId() - rhs.getId());  
    }
});

Android - How to download a file from a webserver

I would recommend using Android DownloadManager

DownloadManager downloadmanager = (DownloadManager) getSystemService(Context.DOWNLOAD_SERVICE);
Uri uri = Uri.parse("http://www.example.com/myfile.mp3");

DownloadManager.Request request = new DownloadManager.Request(uri);
request.setTitle("My File");
request.setDescription("Downloading");
request.setNotificationVisibility(DownloadManager.Request.VISIBILITY_VISIBLE_NOTIFY_COMPLETED);
request.setVisibleInDownloadsUi(false);
request.setDestinationUri(Uri.parse("file://" + folderName + "/myfile.mp3"));

downloadmanager.enqueue(request);

String replacement in Objective-C

It also posible string replacement with stringByReplacingCharactersInRange:withString:

for (int i = 0; i < card.length - 4; i++) {

    if (![[card substringWithRange:NSMakeRange(i, 1)] isEqual:@" "]) {

        NSRange range = NSMakeRange(i, 1);
        card = [card stringByReplacingCharactersInRange:range withString:@"*"];

    }

} //out: **** **** **** 1234

How to get everything after a certain character?

The strpos() finds the offset of the underscore, then substr grabs everything from that index plus 1, onwards.

$data = "123_String";    
$whatIWant = substr($data, strpos($data, "_") + 1);    
echo $whatIWant;

If you also want to check if the underscore character (_) exists in your string before trying to get it, you can use the following:

if (($pos = strpos($data, "_")) !== FALSE) { 
    $whatIWant = substr($data, $pos+1); 
}

Using querySelectorAll to retrieve direct children

I Use This:

You can avoid typing "myDiv" twice AND using the arrow.
There are of course always more possibilities.
A modern browser is probably required.


<!-- Sample Code -->

    <div class="foo">foo 1</div>
    <div class="foo">foo 2
        <div class="bar">bar</div>
    </div>
    <div class="foo">foo 3</div>
</div>

// Return HTMLCollection (Matches 3 Elements)

var allMyChildren = document.querySelector("#myDiv").children;

// Return NodeList (Matches 7 Nodes)

var allMyChildren = document.querySelector("#myDiv").childNodes;

// Match All Children With Class Of Foo (Matches 3 Elements)

var myFooChildren = document.querySelector("#myDiv").querySelectorAll(".foo");

// Match Second Child With Class Of Foo (Matches 1 Element)

var mySecondChild = document.querySelector("#myDiv").querySelectorAll(".foo")[1];

// Match All Children With Class Of Bar (Matches 1 Element)

var myBarChild = document.querySelector("#myDiv").querySelector(".bar");

// Match All Elements In "myDiv" (Matches 4 Elements)

var myDescendants = document.querySelector("#myDiv").querySelectorAll("*");

How can I backup a Docker-container with its data-volumes?

If you just need a simple backup to an archive, you can try my little utility: https://github.com/loomchild/volume-backup

Example

Backup:

docker run -v some_volume:/volume -v /tmp:/backup --rm loomchild/volume-backup backup archive1

will archive volume named some_volume to /tmp/archive1.tar.bz2 archive file

Restore:

docker run -v some_volume:/volume -v /tmp:/backup --rm loomchild/volume-backup restore archive1

will wipe and restore volume named some_volume from /tmp/archive1.tar.bz2 archive file.

Error: [$injector:unpr] Unknown provider: $routeProvider

It looks like you forgot to include the ngRoute module in your dependency for myApp.

In Angular 1.2, they've made ngRoute optional (so you can use third-party route providers, etc.) and you have to explicitly depend on it in modules, along with including the separate file.

'use strict';

angular.module('myApp', ['ngRoute']).
    config(['$routeProvider', function($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider.otherwise({redirectTo: '/home'});
}]);

Where does Java's String constant pool live, the heap or the stack?

String pooling

String pooling (sometimes also called as string canonicalisation) is a process of replacing several String objects with equal value but different identity with a single shared String object. You can achieve this goal by keeping your own Map (with possibly soft or weak references depending on your requirements) and using map values as canonicalised values. Or you can use String.intern() method which is provided to you by JDK.

At times of Java 6 using String.intern() was forbidden by many standards due to a high possibility to get an OutOfMemoryException if pooling went out of control. Oracle Java 7 implementation of string pooling was changed considerably. You can look for details in http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=6962931 and http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=6962930.

String.intern() in Java 6

In those good old days all interned strings were stored in the PermGen – the fixed size part of heap mainly used for storing loaded classes and string pool. Besides explicitly interned strings, PermGen string pool also contained all literal strings earlier used in your program (the important word here is used – if a class or method was never loaded/called, any constants defined in it will not be loaded).

The biggest issue with such string pool in Java 6 was its location – the PermGen. PermGen has a fixed size and can not be expanded at runtime. You can set it using -XX:MaxPermSize=96m option. As far as I know, the default PermGen size varies between 32M and 96M depending on the platform. You can increase its size, but its size will still be fixed. Such limitation required very careful usage of String.intern – you’d better not intern any uncontrolled user input using this method. That’s why string pooling at times of Java 6 was mostly implemented in the manually managed maps.

String.intern() in Java 7

Oracle engineers made an extremely important change to the string pooling logic in Java 7 – the string pool was relocated to the heap. It means that you are no longer limited by a separate fixed size memory area. All strings are now located in the heap, as most of other ordinary objects, which allows you to manage only the heap size while tuning your application. Technically, this alone could be a sufficient reason to reconsider using String.intern() in your Java 7 programs. But there are other reasons.

String pool values are garbage collected

Yes, all strings in the JVM string pool are eligible for garbage collection if there are no references to them from your program roots. It applies to all discussed versions of Java. It means that if your interned string went out of scope and there are no other references to it – it will be garbage collected from the JVM string pool.

Being eligible for garbage collection and residing in the heap, a JVM string pool seems to be a right place for all your strings, isn’t it? In theory it is true – non-used strings will be garbage collected from the pool, used strings will allow you to save memory in case then you get an equal string from the input. Seems to be a perfect memory saving strategy? Nearly so. You must know how the string pool is implemented before making any decisions.

Refresh DataGridView when updating data source

The cleanest, most efficient and paradigm-friendly solution in this case is to use a System.Windows.Forms.BindingSource as a proxy between your list of items (datasource) and your DataGridView:

var itemStates = new List<ItemState>();
var bindingSource1 = new System.Windows.Forms.BindingSource { DataSource = itemStates };
dataGridView1.DataSource = bindingSource1;

Then, when adding items, use Add() method of BindingSource instead of your list's Add() method:

for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
    bindingSource1.Add(new ItemState { Id = i.ToString() });
    System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(500);
}

This way you adding items to your list and notifying DataGridView about those additions with the same line of code. No need to reset DataGridView's DataSource every time you make a change to the list.

It also worth mentioning that you can drop a BindingSource onto your form directly in Visual Studio's Forms Designer and attach it as a data source to your DataGridView there as well, which saves you a line of code in the above example where I'm doing it manually.

  1. this is just simple here i'm appending html table into a div at the end
  2. we can achieve this or any thing with a simple concept of calling a JavaScript function when we want (here on drop.)
  3. In this example you can drag & drop any number of tables, new table will be added below the last table exists in the div other wise it will be the first table in the div.
  4. here we can add text between tables or we can say the section where we drop tables is editable we can type text between tables. enter image description here

How do I completely remove root password

Did you try passwd -d root? Most likely, this will do what you want.


You can also manually edit /etc/shadow: (Create a backup copy. Be sure that you can log even if you mess up, for example from a rescue system.) Search for "root". Typically, the root entry looks similar to

root:$X$SK5xfLB1ZW:0:0...

There, delete the second field (everything between the first and second colon):

root::0:0...

Some systems will make you put an asterisk (*) in the password field instead of blank, where a blank field would allow no password (CentOS 8 for example)

root:*:0:0...

Save the file, and try logging in as root. It should skip the password prompt. (Like passwd -d, this is a "no password" solution. If you are really looking for a "blank password", that is "ask for a password, but accept if the user just presses Enter", look at the manpage of mkpasswd, and use mkpasswd to create the second field for the /etc/shadow.)

How to find all links / pages on a website

If you have the developer console (JavaScript) in your browser, you can type this code in:

n=$$('a');for(u in n)console.log(n[u].href)

Can we have functions inside functions in C++?

No, it's not allowed. Neither C nor C++ support this feature by default, however TonyK points out (in the comments) that there are extensions to the GNU C compiler that enable this behavior in C.

Get Application Name/ Label via ADB Shell or Terminal

A shell script to accomplish this:

        cat | tr -d '[:space:]'
    else
        echo "${1}" | tr -d '[:space:]'
    fi
}

for pkg in $(adb shell pm list packages -3 | cut -d':' -f2); do
    apk_loc="$(adb shell pm path $(remWS $pkg) | cut -d':' -f2 | remWS)"
    apk_name="$(adb shell aapt dump badging $apk_loc | pcregrep -o1 $'application-label:\'(.+)\'' | remWS)"
    apk_info="$(adb shell aapt dump badging $apk_loc | pcregrep -o1 '\b(package: .+)')"

    echo "$apk_name v$(echo $apk_info | pcregrep -io1 -e $'\\bversionName=\'(.+?)\'')"

What are the minimum margins most printers can handle?

The margins vary depending on the printer. In Windows GDI, you call the following functions to get the built-in margins, the "no-print zone":

GetDeviceCaps(hdc, PHYSICALWIDTH);
GetDeviceCaps(hdc, PHYSICALHEIGHT);
GetDeviceCaps(hdc, PHYSICALOFFSETX);
GetDeviceCaps(hdc, PHYSICALOFFSETY);

Printing right to the edge is called a "bleed" in the printing industry. The only laser printer I ever knew to print right to the edge was the Xerox 9700: 120 ppm, $500K in 1980.

The ScriptManager must appear before any controls that need it

The script manager must be put onto the page before it is used. This would be directly on the page itself, or alternatively, if you are using them, on the Master Page.

The markup would be;

 <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" LoadScriptsBeforeUI="true"
            EnablePartialRendering="true" />

ORA-29283: invalid file operation ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_FILE", line 536

I had been facing this problem for two days and I found that the directory you create in Oracle also needs to created first on your physical disk.

I didn't find this point mentioned anywhere i tried to look up the solution to this.

Example

If you created a directory, let's say, 'DB_DIR'.

CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY DB_DIR AS 'E:\DB_WORKS';

Then you need to ensure that DB_WORKS exists in your E:\ drive and also file system level Read/Write permissions are available to the Oracle process.

My understanding of UTL_FILE from my experiences is given below for this kind of operation.

UTL_FILE is an object under SYS user. GRANT EXECUTE ON SYS.UTL_FILE TO PUBLIC; needs to given while logged in as SYS. Otherwise, it will give declaration error in procedure. Anyone can create a directory as shown:- CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY DB_DIR AS 'E:\DBWORKS'; But CREATE DIRECTORY permission should be in place. This can be granted as shown:- GRANT CREATE ALL DIRECTORY TO user; while logged in as SYS user. However, if this needs to be used by another user, grants need to be given to that user otherwise it will throw error. GRANT READ, WRITE, EXECUTE ON DB_DIR TO user; while loggedin as the user who created the directory. Then, compile your package. Before executing the procedure, ensure that the Directory exists physically on your Disk. Otherwise it will throw 'Invalid File Operation' error. (V. IMPORTANT) Ensure that Filesystem level Read/Write permissions are in place for the Oracle process. This is separate from the DB level permissions granted.(V. IMPORTANT) Execute procedure. File should get populated with the result set of your query.

Convert an integer to an array of digits

You can just do:

char[] digits = string.toCharArray();

And then you can evaluate the chars as integers.

For example:

char[] digits = "12345".toCharArray();
int digit = Character.getNumericValue(digits[0]);
System.out.println(digit); // Prints 1

Compare two Lists for differences

This approach from Microsoft works very well and provides the option to compare one list to another and switch them to get the difference in each. If you are comparing classes simply add your objects to two separate lists and then run the comparison.

Global Angular CLI version greater than local version

Just do these things

npm install --save-dev @angular/cli@latest
npm audit fix
npm audit fix --force

Int division: Why is the result of 1/3 == 0?

The conversion in JAVA is quite simple but need some understanding. As explain in the JLS for integer operations:

If an integer operator other than a shift operator has at least one operand of type long, then the operation is carried out using 64-bit precision, and the result of the numerical operator is of type long. If the other operand is not long, it is first widened (§5.1.5) to type long by numeric promotion (§5.6).

And an example is always the best way to translate the JLS ;)

int + long -> long
int(1) + long(2) + int(3) -> long(1+2) + long(3)

Otherwise, the operation is carried out using 32-bit precision, and the result of the numerical operator is of type int. If either operand is not an int, it is first widened to type int by numeric promotion.

short + int -> int + int -> int

A small example using Eclipse to show that even an addition of two shorts will not be that easy :

short s = 1;
s = s + s; <- Compiling error

//possible loss of precision
//  required: short
//  found:    int

This will required a casting with a possible loss of precision.

The same is true for the floating point operators

If at least one of the operands to a numerical operator is of type double, then the operation is carried out using 64-bit floating-point arithmetic, and the result of the numerical operator is a value of type double. If the other operand is not a double, it is first widened (§5.1.5) to type double by numeric promotion (§5.6).

So the promotion is done on the float into double.

And the mix of both integer and floating value result in floating values as said

If at least one of the operands to a binary operator is of floating-point type, then the operation is a floating-point operation, even if the other is integral.

This is true for binary operators but not for "Assignment Operators" like +=

A simple working example is enough to prove this

int i = 1;
i += 1.5f;

The reason is that there is an implicit cast done here, this will be execute like

i = (int) i + 1.5f
i = (int) 2.5f
i = 2

Convert Month Number to Month Name Function in SQL

Just subtract the current month from today's date, then add back your month number. Then use the datename function to give the full name all in 1 line.

print datename(month,dateadd(month,-month(getdate()) + 9,getdate()))

error: expected class-name before ‘{’ token

If you forward-declare Flight and Landing in Event.h, then you should be fixed.

Remember to #include "Flight.h" and #include "Landing.h" in your implementation file for Event.

The general rule of thumb is: if you derive from it, or compose from it, or use it by value, the compiler must know its full definition at the time of declaration. If you compose from a pointer-to-it, the compiler will know how big a pointer is. Similarly, if you pass a reference to it, the compiler will know how big the reference is, too.

Apply global variable to Vuejs

If the global variable should not be written to by anything, including Vuejs, you can use Object.freeze to freeze your object. Adding it to Vue's viewmodel won't unfreeze it. Another option is to provide Vuejs with a frozen copy of the object, if the object is intended to be written globally but just not by Vue: var frozenCopy = Object.freeze(Object.assign({}, globalObject))

RESTful call in Java

Most Easy Solution will be using Apache http client library. refer following sample code.. this code uses basic security for authenticating.

Add following Dependency.

<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.httpcomponents</groupId>
<artifactId>httpclient</artifactId>
<version>4.4</version>
</dependency>
CredentialsProvider credentialsProvider = new BasicCredentialsProvider();
Credentials credentials = new UsernamePasswordCredentials("username", "password");
credentialsProvider.setCredentials(AuthScope.ANY, credentials);
HttpClient client = HttpClientBuilder.create().setDefaultCredentialsProvider(credentialsProvider).build();
HttpPost request = new HttpPost("https://api.plivo.com/v1/Account/MAYNJ3OT/Message/");HttpResponse response = client.execute(request);
    // Get the response
    BufferedReader rd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(response.getEntity().getContent()));
    String line = "";
    while ((line = rd.readLine()) != null) {    
    textView = textView + line;
    }
    System.out.println(textView);

WebSocket connection failed: Error during WebSocket handshake: Unexpected response code: 400

}

What is a MIME type?

I couldn't possibly explain it better than wikipedia does: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIME_type

In addition to e-mail applications, Web browsers also support various MIME types. This enables the browser to display or output files that are not in HTML format.

IOW, it helps the browser (or content consumer, because it may not just be a browser) determine what content they are about to consume; this means a browser may be able to make a decision on the correct plugin to use to display content, or a media player may be able to load up the correct codec or plugin.

Call a Vue.js component method from outside the component

You can use Vue event system

vm.$broadcast('event-name', args)

and

 vm.$on('event-name', function())

What does value & 0xff do in Java?

It sets result to the (unsigned) value resulting from putting the 8 bits of value in the lowest 8 bits of result.

The reason something like this is necessary is that byte is a signed type in Java. If you just wrote:

int result = value;

then result would end up with the value ff ff ff fe instead of 00 00 00 fe. A further subtlety is that the & is defined to operate only on int values1, so what happens is:

  1. value is promoted to an int (ff ff ff fe).
  2. 0xff is an int literal (00 00 00 ff).
  3. The & is applied to yield the desired value for result.

(The point is that conversion to int happens before the & operator is applied.)

1Well, not quite. The & operator works on long values as well, if either operand is a long. But not on byte. See the Java Language Specification, sections 15.22.1 and 5.6.2.

Best way to return a value from a python script

If you want your script to return values, just do return [1,2,3] from a function wrapping your code but then you'd have to import your script from another script to even have any use for that information:

Return values (from a wrapping-function)

(again, this would have to be run by a separate Python script and be imported in order to even do any good):

import ...
def main():
    # calculate stuff
    return [1,2,3]

Exit codes as indicators

(This is generally just good for when you want to indicate to a governor what went wrong or simply the number of bugs/rows counted or w/e. Normally 0 is a good exit and >=1 is a bad exit but you could inter-prate them in any way you want to get data out of it)

import sys
# calculate and stuff
sys.exit(100)

And exit with a specific exit code depending on what you want that to tell your governor. I used exit codes when running script by a scheduling and monitoring environment to indicate what has happened.

(os._exit(100) also works, and is a bit more forceful)

Stdout as your relay

If not you'd have to use stdout to communicate with the outside world (like you've described). But that's generally a bad idea unless it's a parser executing your script and can catch whatever it is you're reporting to.

import sys
# calculate stuff
sys.stdout.write('Bugs: 5|Other: 10\n')
sys.stdout.flush()
sys.exit(0)

Are you running your script in a controlled scheduling environment then exit codes are the best way to go.

Files as conveyors

There's also the option to simply write information to a file, and store the result there.

# calculate
with open('finish.txt', 'wb') as fh:
    fh.write(str(5)+'\n')

And pick up the value/result from there. You could even do it in a CSV format for others to read simplistically.

Sockets as conveyors

If none of the above work, you can also use network sockets locally *(unix sockets is a great way on nix systems). These are a bit more intricate and deserve their own post/answer. But editing to add it here as it's a good option to communicate between processes. Especially if they should run multiple tasks and return values.

How to completely remove a dialog on close

You can do use

$(dialogElement).empty();    
$(dialogElement).remove();

How to add property to a class dynamically?

Not sure if I completely understand the question, but you can modify instance properties at runtime with the built-in __dict__ of your class:

class C(object):
    def __init__(self, ks, vs):
        self.__dict__ = dict(zip(ks, vs))


if __name__ == "__main__":
    ks = ['ab', 'cd']
    vs = [12, 34]
    c = C(ks, vs)
    print(c.ab) # 12

Express.js Response Timeout

In case you would like to use timeout middleware and exclude a specific route:

var timeout = require('connect-timeout');
app.use(timeout('5s')); //set 5s timeout for all requests

app.use('/my_route', function(req, res, next) {
    req.clearTimeout(); // clear request timeout
    req.setTimeout(20000); //set a 20s timeout for this request
    next();
}).get('/my_route', function(req, res) {
    //do something that takes a long time
});

Bootstrap 3 Flush footer to bottom. not fixed

There is a simplified solution from bootstrap here (where you don't need to create a new class): http://getbootstrap.com/examples/sticky-footer-navbar/

When you open that page, right click on a browser and "View Source" and open the sticky-footer-navbar.css file (http://getbootstrap.com/examples/sticky-footer-navbar/sticky-footer-navbar.css)

you can see that you only need this CSS

/* Sticky footer styles
-------------------------------------------------- */
html {
  position: relative;
  min-height: 100%;
}
body {
  /* Margin bottom by footer height */
  margin-bottom: 60px;
}
.footer {
  position: absolute;
  bottom: 0;
  width: 100%;
  /* Set the fixed height of the footer here */
  height: 60px;
  background-color: #f5f5f5;
}

for this HTML

<html>
    ...
    <body>
        <!-- Begin page content -->
        <div class="container">
        </div>
        ...

        <footer class="footer">
        </footer>
    </body>
</html>

Can I convert long to int?

A possible way is to use the modulo operator to only let the values stay in the int32 range, and then cast it to int.

var intValue= (int)(longValue % Int32.MaxValue);

Failed to open the HAX device! HAX is not working and emulator runs in emulation mode emulator

The solution of Rohan will fix the problem as the error message will not be shown but the emulator will not use the hardware acceleration and thus be again very slow.

I recommend instead to install the Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager as described here:

How to specify the current directory as path in VBA?

I thought I had misunderstood but I was right. In this scenario, it will be ActiveWorkbook.Path

But the main issue was not here. The problem was with these 2 lines of code

strFile = Dir(strPath & "*.csv")

Which should have written as

strFile = Dir(strPath & "\*.csv")

and

With .QueryTables.Add(Connection:="TEXT;" & strPath & strFile, _

Which should have written as

With .QueryTables.Add(Connection:="TEXT;" & strPath & "\" & strFile, _

upstream sent too big header while reading response header from upstream

This is still the highest SO-question on Google when searching for this error, so let's bump it.

When getting this error and not wanting to deep-dive into the NGINX settings immediately, you might want to check your outputs to the debug console. In my case I was outputting loads of text to the FirePHP / Chromelogger console, and since this is all sent as a header, it was causing the overflow.

It might not be needed to change the webserver settings if this error is caused by just sending insane amounts of log messages.

Set equal width of columns in table layout in Android

Change android:stretchColumns value to *.

Value 0 means stretch the first column. Value 1 means stretch the second column and so on.

Value * means stretch all the columns.

Find text in string with C#

Except for @Prashant's answer, the above answers have been answered incorrectly. Where is the "replace" feature of the answer? The OP asked, "After that, I'd like to create a new string between that and something else".

Based on @Oscar's excellent response, I have expanded his function to be a "Search And Replace" function in one.

I think @Prashant's answer should have been the accepted answer by the OP, as it does a replace.

Anyway, I've called my variant - ReplaceBetween().

public static string ReplaceBetween(string strSource, string strStart, string strEnd, string strReplace)
{
    int Start, End;
    if (strSource.Contains(strStart) && strSource.Contains(strEnd))
    {
        Start = strSource.IndexOf(strStart, 0) + strStart.Length;
        End = strSource.IndexOf(strEnd, Start);
        string strToReplace = strSource.Substring(Start, End - Start);
        string newString = strSource.Concat(Start,strReplace,End - Start);
        return newString;
    }
    else
    {
        return string.Empty;
    }
}

Does swift have a trim method on String?

You can also send characters that you want to be trimed

    func trim() -> String {

        return self.trimmingCharacters(in: .whitespacesAndNewlines)

    }

    func trim(characterSet:CharacterSet) -> String {

        return self.trimmingCharacters(in: characterSet)

    }
}

validationMessage = validationMessage.trim(characterSet: CharacterSet(charactersIn: ","))

How to round a number to significant figures in Python

%g in string formatting will format a float rounded to some number of significant figures. It will sometimes use 'e' scientific notation, so convert the rounded string back to a float then through %s string formatting.

>>> '%s' % float('%.1g' % 1234)
'1000'
>>> '%s' % float('%.1g' % 0.12)
'0.1'
>>> '%s' % float('%.1g' % 0.012)
'0.01'
>>> '%s' % float('%.1g' % 0.062)
'0.06'
>>> '%s' % float('%.1g' % 6253)
'6000.0'
>>> '%s' % float('%.1g' % 1999)
'2000.0'

How to change the length of a column in a SQL Server table via T-SQL

So, let's say you have this table:

CREATE TABLE YourTable(Col1 VARCHAR(10))

And you want to change Col1 to VARCHAR(20). What you need to do is this:

ALTER TABLE YourTable
ALTER COLUMN Col1 VARCHAR(20)

That'll work without problems since the length of the column got bigger. If you wanted to change it to VARCHAR(5), then you'll first gonna need to make sure that there are not values with more chars on your column, otherwise that ALTER TABLE will fail.

Binding a Button's visibility to a bool value in ViewModel

There's a third way that doesn't require a converter or a change to your view model: use a style:

<Style TargetType="Button">
   <Setter Property="Visibility" Value="Collapsed"/>
   <Style.Triggers>
      <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding IsVisible}" Value="True">
         <Setter Property="Visibility" Value="Visible"/>
      </DataTrigger>
   </Style.Triggers>
</Style>

I tend to prefer this technique because I use it in a lot of cases where what I'm binding to is not boolean - e.g. displaying an element only if its DataContext is not null, or implementing multi-state displays where different layouts appear based on the setting of an enum in the view model.

Rounding integer division (instead of truncating)

If you're dividing positive integers you can shift it up, do the division and then check the bit to the right of the real b0. In other words, 100/8 is 12.5 but would return 12. If you do (100<<1)/8, you can check b0 and then round up after you shift the result back down.

Format telephone and credit card numbers in AngularJS

I solved this problem with a custom Angular filter as well, but mine takes advantage of regex capturing groups and so the code is really short. I pair it with a separate stripNonNumeric filter to sanitize the input:

app.filter('stripNonNumeric', function() {
    return function(input) {
        return (input == null) ? null : input.toString().replace(/\D/g, '');
    }
});

The phoneFormat filter properly formats a phone number with or without the area code. (I did not need international number support.)

app.filter('phoneFormat', function() {
    //this establishes 3 capture groups: the first has 3 digits, the second has 3 digits, the third has 4 digits. Strings which are not 7 or 10 digits numeric will fail.
    var phoneFormat = /^(\d{3})?(\d{3})(\d{4})$/;

    return function(input) {
        var parsed = phoneFormat.exec(input);

        //if input isn't either 7 or 10 characters numeric, just return input
        return (!parsed) ? input : ((parsed[1]) ? '(' + parsed[1] + ') ' : '') + parsed[2] + '-' + parsed[3];
    }
});

Use them simply:

<p>{{customer.phone | stripNonNumeric | phoneFormat}}</p>

The regex for the stripNonNumeric filter came from here.

Convert Json string to Json object in Swift 4

Using JSONSerialization always felt unSwifty and unwieldy, but it is even more so with the arrival of Codable in Swift 4. If you wield a [String:Any] in front of a simple struct it will ... hurt. Check out this in a Playground:

import Cocoa

let data = "[{\"form_id\":3465,\"canonical_name\":\"df_SAWERQ\",\"form_name\":\"Activity 4 with Images\",\"form_desc\":null}]".data(using: .utf8)!

struct Form: Codable {
    let id: Int
    let name: String
    let description: String?

    private enum CodingKeys: String, CodingKey {
        case id = "form_id"
        case name = "form_name"
        case description = "form_desc"
    }
}

do {
    let f = try JSONDecoder().decode([Form].self, from: data)
    print(f)
    print(f[0])
} catch {
    print(error)
}

With minimal effort handling this will feel a whole lot more comfortable. And you are given a lot more information if your JSON does not parse properly.

How to enable relation view in phpmyadmin

Enabling Relation View in phpMyAdmin / MAMP

If you’re using MAMP for your database driven projects you’ll probably be using phpMyAdmin to administer your MySQL database if you’ve decided to go down that route. If you’re creating a database you might be wondering how to create relationships and foriegn keys for your tables.

Firstly you need to check that you have access to the Relation view. To do this open phpMyAdmin and select a database. You need to make sure your tables’ storage engine is set to use InnoDB. Click on a table within your database and choose the Operations tab. Make sure that the storage engine is set to use InnoDB and save your changes.

Now, go back to your table view and click the Structure tab. Depending on your version of phpMyAdmin you should see a link titled Relation view below the table structure. If you can see it you’re good to go. If you can’t you’ll need to follow the steps below to set phpMyAdmin to enable Relations view.

  1. Find /Applications/MAMP/bin/phpMyAdmin/scripts/create_tables.sql
  2. I left this file default but you can change the table name to anything you want. I left mine phpMyAdmin
  3. Open phpMyAdmin and go to the Import tab.
  4. Click the browse button and find the create_tables.sql file and then click Go.
  5. The tables required for Relation view will be added to the database you specified.
  6. Open /Applications/MAMP/bin/phpMyAdmin/config.inc.php
  7. Find the Server(s) configuration code block and replace/uncomment the following code and fill in the values. If you left everything default in the create_tables.sql file then you should just cut and paste the lines below.

    $cfg['Servers'][$i]['pmadb'] = 'phpmyadmin';
    $cfg['Servers'][$i]['bookmarktable'] = 'pma_bookmark';
    $cfg['Servers'][$i]['relation'] = 'pma_relation';
    $cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_info'] = 'pma_table_info';
    $cfg['Servers'][$i]['table_coords'] = 'pma_table_coords';
    $cfg['Servers'][$i]['pdf_pages'] = 'pma_pdf_pages';
    $cfg['Servers'][$i]['column_info'] = 'pma_column_info';
    $cfg['Servers'][$i]['history'] = 'pma_history';
    
  8. Save the file and restart MAMP and refresh your phpMyAdmin console.

  9. Go to your database and view one of your tables in Structure mode. You should now see the Relation view link.

Adding external library in Android studio

I had the same problem. This happened because of core library dependency. I was using javax.* . This is what i did to fix

In File->Project Structure->Dependencies I added this as as provided file, not a compile. Then re build the project.

This problem started after upgrade of android studio. But I think it happens when you try to edit you build files manually.

How to change border color of textarea on :focus

Probably a more appropriate way of changing outline color is using the outline-color CSS rule.

textarea {
  outline-color: #719ECE;
}

or for input

input {
  outline-color: #719ECE;
}

box-shadow isn't quite the same thing and it may look different than the outline, especially if you apply custom styling to your element.

How do I correctly use "Not Equal" in MS Access?

Like this

SELECT DISTINCT Table1.Column1
FROM Table1
WHERE NOT EXISTS( SELECT * FROM Table2
    WHERE Table1.Column1 = Table2.Column1  )

You want NOT EXISTS, not "Not Equal"


By the way, you rarely want to write a FROM clause like this:

FROM Table1, Table2

as this means "FROM all combinations of every row in Table1 with every row in Table2..." Usually that's a lot more result rows than you ever want to see. And in the rare case that you really do want to do that, the more accepted syntax is:

FROM Table1 CROSS JOIN Table2

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find

You need to add -L/opt/lib to tell ld to look there for shared objects.

How do I make a checkbox required on an ASP.NET form?

I typically perform the validation on the client side:

<asp:checkbox id="chkTerms" text=" I agree to the terms" ValidationGroup="vg" runat="Server"  />
<asp:CustomValidator id="vTerms"
                ClientValidationFunction="validateTerms" 
                ErrorMessage="<br/>Terms and Conditions are required." 
                ForeColor="Red"
                Display="Static"
                EnableClientScript="true"
                ValidationGroup="vg"
                runat="server"/>

<asp:Button ID="btnSubmit" OnClick="btnSubmit_Click" CausesValidation="true" Text="Submit" ValidationGroup="vg" runat="server" />

<script>
    function validateTerms(source, arguments) {
        var $c = $('#<%= chkTerms.ClientID %>');
        if($c.prop("checked")){
            arguments.IsValid = true;
        } else {
            arguments.IsValid = false;
        }
    }
</script>       

'printf' vs. 'cout' in C++

I would like say that extensibility lack of printf is not entirely true:
In C, it is true. But in C, there are no real classes.
In C++, it is possible to overload cast operator, so, overloading a char* operator and using printf like this:

Foo bar;
...;
printf("%s",bar);

can be possible, if Foo overload the good operator. Or if you made a good method. In short, printf is as extensible as cout for me.

Technical argument I can see for C++ streams (in general... not only cout.) are:

  • Typesafety. (And, by the way, if I want to print a single '\n' I use putchar('\n')... I will not use a nuke-bomb to kill an insect.).

  • Simpler to learn. (no "complicated" parameters to learn, just to use << and >> operators)

  • Work natively with std::string (for printf there is std::string::c_str(), but for scanf?)

For printf I see:

  • Easier, or at least shorter (in term of characters written) complex formatting. Far more readable, for me (matter of taste I guess).

  • Better control of what the function made (Return how many characters where written and there is the %n formatter: "Nothing printed. The argument must be a pointer to a signed int, where the number of characters written so far is stored." (from printf - C++ Reference)

  • Better debugging possibilities. For same reason as last argument.

My personal preferences go to printf (and scanf) functions, mainly because I love short lines, and because I don't think type problems on printing text are really hard to avoid. The only thing I deplore with C-style functions is that std::string is not supported. We have to go through a char* before giving it to printf (with the std::string::c_str() if we want to read, but how to write?)

How do I get the "id" after INSERT into MySQL database with Python?

This might be just a requirement of PyMySql in Python, but I found that I had to name the exact table that I wanted the ID for:

In:

cnx = pymysql.connect(host='host',
                            database='db',
                            user='user',
                            password='pass')
cursor = cnx.cursor()
update_batch = """insert into batch set type = "%s" , records = %i, started = NOW(); """
second_query = (update_batch % ( "Batch 1", 22  ))
cursor.execute(second_query)
cnx.commit()
batch_id = cursor.execute('select last_insert_id() from batch')
cursor.close()

batch_id

Out: 5
... or whatever the correct Batch_ID value actually is

For files in directory, only echo filename (no path)

Another approach is to use ls when reading the file list within a directory so as to give you what you want, i.e. "just the file name/s". As opposed to reading the full file path and then extracting the "file name" component in the body of the for loop.

Example below that follows your original:

for filename in $(ls /home/user/)
do
  echo $filename
done;

If you are running the script in the same directory as the files, then it simply becomes:

for filename in $(ls)
do
  echo $filename
done;

SQL Server : Transpose rows to columns

SQL Server has a PIVOT command that might be what you are looking for.

select * from Tag
pivot (MAX(Value) for TagID in ([A1],[A2],[A3],[A4])) as TagTime;

If the columns are not constant, you'll have to combine this with some dynamic SQL.

DECLARE @columns AS VARCHAR(MAX);
DECLARE @sql AS VARCHAR(MAX);

select @columns = substring((Select DISTINCT ',' + QUOTENAME(TagID) FROM Tag FOR XML PATH ('')),2, 1000);

SELECT @sql =

'SELECT *
FROM TAG
PIVOT 
(
  MAX(Value) 
  FOR TagID IN( ' + @columns + ' )) as TagTime;';

 execute(@sql);

Access to Image from origin 'null' has been blocked by CORS policy

In this case the CORS problem has been caused by using the wrong source constructor in OpenLayers. ol.source.OSM is intended for accessing the default OpenStreetMap tiles from the web and for that reason defaults to crossOrigin:'anonymous'. If you are using a local source URL you should use the generic ol.source.XYZ constructor which doesn't default the crossOrigin setting (which is why setting crossOrigin:null above happened to work). And it is perfectly legitimate want to use file protocol for maps, for example on an SD card of a mobile device.

jQuery: Best practice to populate drop down?

List of foreign keys and the tables they reference in Oracle DB

I used below code and it served my purpose-

SELECT fk.owner, fk.table_name, col.column_name
FROM dba_constraints pk, dba_constraints fk, dba_cons_columns col
WHERE pk.constraint_name = fk.r_constraint_name
AND fk.constraint_name = col.constraint_name
AND pk.owner = col.owner
AND pk.owner = fk.owner
AND fk.constraint_type = 'R'   
AND pk.owner = sys_context('USERENV', 'CURRENT_SCHEMA') 
AND pk.table_name = :my_table
AND pk.constraint_type = 'P';

Add item to array in VBScript

Slight change to the FastArray from above:

'pushtest.vbs
imax = 10000000
value = "Testvalue"
s = imax & " of """ & value & """" 

t0 = timer 'Fast array
a = array()
ub = UBound(a)
For i = 0 To imax
 If i>ub Then 
    ReDim Preserve a(Int((ub+10)*1.1))
    ub = UBound(a)
 End If
 a(i) = value
Next
ReDim Preserve a(i-1)
s = s & "[FastArr " & FormatNumber(timer - t0, 3, -1) & "]"

MsgBox s

There is no point in checking UBound(a) in every cycle of the for if we know exactly when it changes.

I've changed it so that it checks does UBound(a) just before the for starts and then only every time the ReDim is called

On my computer the old method took 7.52 seconds for an imax of 10 millions.

The new method took 5.29 seconds for an imax of also 10 millions, which signifies a performance increase of over 20% (for 10 millions tries, obviously this percentage has a direct relationship to the number of tries)

Comprehensive beginner's virtualenv tutorial?

Here's another good one: http://www.saltycrane.com/blog/2009/05/notes-using-pip-and-virtualenv-django/

Button inside of anchor link works in Firefox but not in Internet Explorer?

The problem here is that the link sits behind the button, even when changing the z-index. This markup is also invalid (read the spec). So the reason the links dont work is because you are actually clicking the button and not the link. The solution is to change your markup around.

<button type="button"><a href="yourlink">Link</a></button>

Then style as needed. A demo is here.

Apache HttpClient 4.0.3 - how do I set cookie with sessionID for POST request?

HttpContext localContext = new BasicHttpContext();
localContext.setAttribute(HttpClientContext.COOKIE_STORE, cookieStore);
response = client.execute(httppost, localContext);

doesn't work in 4.5 version without

cookie.setDomain(".domain.com");
cookie.setAttribute(ClientCookie.DOMAIN_ATTR, "true");

ValueError: could not convert string to float: id

Your data may not be what you expect -- it seems you're expecting, but not getting, floats.

A simple solution to figuring out where this occurs would be to add a try/except to the for-loop:

for i in range(0,N):
    w=f[i].split()
    l1=w[1:8]
    l2=w[8:15]
    try:
      list1=[float(x) for x in l1]
      list2=[float(x) for x in l2]
    except ValueError, e:
      # report the error in some way that is helpful -- maybe print out i
    result=stats.ttest_ind(list1,list2)
    print result[1]

What is the !! (not not) operator in JavaScript?

It seems that the !! operator results in a double negation.

var foo = "Hello World!";

!foo // Result: false
!!foo // Result: true

How to know Hive and Hadoop versions from command prompt?

From your SSH connection to edge node, you can simply type

hive --version

Hive 1.2.1000.x.x.x.x-xx

This returns the Hive version for your distribution of Hadoop. Another approach is if you enter into beeline, you can find the version straight away.

beeline
Beeline version 1.2.1000.x.x.x.x-xx by Apache Hive

How do I alias commands in git?

This will create an alias st for status:

git config --add alias.st status

Global variables in Javascript across multiple files

The variable can be declared in the .js file and simply referenced in the HTML file. My version of helpers.js:

var myFunctionWasCalled = false;

function doFoo()
{
    if (!myFunctionWasCalled) {
        alert("doFoo called for the very first time!");
        myFunctionWasCalled = true;
    }
    else {
        alert("doFoo called again");
    }
}

And a page to test it:

<html>
<head>
<title>Test Page</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
<script type="text/javascript" src="helpers.js"></script>
</head>

<body>


<p>myFunctionWasCalled is
<script type="text/javascript">document.write(myFunctionWasCalled);</script>
</p>

<script type="text/javascript">doFoo();</script>

<p>Some stuff in between</p>

<script type="text/javascript">doFoo();</script>

<p>myFunctionWasCalled is
<script type="text/javascript">document.write(myFunctionWasCalled);</script>
</p>

</body>
</html>

You'll see the test alert() will display two different things, and the value written to the page will be different the second time.

How do you access the value of an SQL count () query in a Java program

It's similar to above but you can try like

public Integer count(String tableName) throws CrateException {
        String query = String.format("Select count(*) as size from %s", tableName);
        try (Statement s = connection.createStatement()) {
            try (ResultSet resultSet = queryExecutor.executeQuery(s, query)) {
                Preconditions.checkArgument(resultSet.next(), "Result set is empty");
                return resultSet.getInt("size");
            }
        } catch (SQLException e) {
            throw new CrateException(e);
        }
    }
}

How do you get AngularJS to bind to the title attribute of an A tag?

Look at the fiddle here for a quick answer

data-ng-attr-title="{{d.age > 5 ? 'My age is greater than threshold': ''}}"

Displays Title over elements conditionally using Angular JS

nodejs send html file to client

you can render the page in express more easily


 var app   = require('express')();    
    app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views'));
    app.set('view engine', 'jade');
 
    app.get('/signup',function(req,res){      
    res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname,'/signup.html'));
    });

so if u request like http://127.0.0.1:8080/signup that it will render signup.html page under views folder.

WAMP won't turn green. And the VCRUNTIME140.dll error

As Oriol said, you need the following redistributables before installing WAMP.

From the readme.txt

BEFORE proceeding with the installation of Wampserver, you must ensure that certain elements are installed on your system, otherwise Wampserver will absolutely not run, and in addition, the installation will be faulty and you need to remove Wampserver BEFORE installing the elements that were missing.

Make sure you are "up to date" in the redistributable packages VC9, VC10, VC11, VC13 and VC14 Even if you think you are up to date, install each package as administrator and if message "Already installed", validate Repair.

The following packages (VC9, VC10, VC11) are imperatively required to Wampserver 2.4, 2.5 and 3.0, even if you use only Apache and PHP versions VC11 and VC14 is required for PHP 7 and Apache 2.4.17

Docker: How to delete all local Docker images

Adding to techtabu's accepted answer, If you're using docker on windows, you can use the following command

for /F "delims=" %A in ('docker ps -a -q') do docker rm %A

here, the command docker ps -a -q lists all the images and this list is passed to docker rm one by one

see this for more details on how this type of command format works in windows cmd.

Floating divs in Bootstrap layout

From all I have read you cannot do exactly what you want without javascript. If you float left before text

<div style="float:left;">widget</div> here is some CONTENT, etc.

Your content wraps as expected. But your widget is in the top left. If you instead put the float after the content

here is some CONTENT, etc. <div style="float:left;">widget</div>

Then your content will wrap the last line to the right of the widget if the last line of content can fit to the right of the widget, otherwise no wrapping is done. To make borders and backgrounds actually include the floated area in the previous example, most people add:

here is some CONTENT, etc. <div style="float:left;">widget</div><div style="clear:both;"></div>

In your question you are using bootstrap which just adds row-fluid::after { content: ""} which resolves the border/background issue.

Moving your content up will give you the one line wrap : http://jsfiddle.net/jJNPY/34/

  <div class="container-fluid">
  <div class="row-fluid">
    <div class="offset1 span8 pull-right">
    ... Widget 1...
    </div>
    .... a lot of content ....
    <div class="span8" style="margin-left: 0;">
    ... Widget 2...
    </div>


  </div>

import java.sql.DriverManager;

public class TestJdbc {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        //db name:testdb_version001
        //useSSL=false (get rid of MySQL SSL warnings)

        String jdbcUrl = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/testdb_version001?useSSL=false";
        String username="testdb";
        String password ="testdb";

        try{

            System.out.println("Connecting to database :" +jdbcUrl);
            Connection myConn =
                    DriverManager.getConnection(jdbcUrl,username,password);

            System.out.println("Connection Successful...!");


        }catch (Exception e){
            e.printStackTrace();
            //e.printStackTrace();
        }

    }

Drop shadow for PNG image in CSS

There's a proposed feature which you could use for arbitrarily shaped drop shadows. You could see it here, courtesy of Lea Verou:

Browser support is minimal, though.

I want to multiply two columns in a pandas DataFrame and add the result into a new column

To make things neat, I take Hayden's solution but make a small function out of it.

def create_value(row):
    if row['Action'] == 'Sell':
        return row['Prices'] * row['Amount']
    else:
        return -row['Prices']*row['Amount']

so that when we want to apply the function to our dataframe, we can do..

df['Value'] = df.apply(lambda row: create_value(row), axis=1)

...and any modifications only need to occur in the small function itself.

Concise, Readable, and Neat!

Mocking a method to throw an exception (moq), but otherwise act like the mocked object?

I think this is what you want, I already tested this code and works

The tools used are: (all these tools can be downloaded as Nuget packages)

http://fluentassertions.codeplex.com/

http://autofixture.codeplex.com/

http://code.google.com/p/moq/

https://nuget.org/packages/AutoFixture.AutoMoq

var fixture = new Fixture().Customize(new AutoMoqCustomization());
var myInterface = fixture.Freeze<Mock<IFileConnection>>();

var sut = fixture.CreateAnonymous<Transfer>();

myInterface.Setup(x => x.Get(It.IsAny<string>(), It.IsAny<string>()))
        .Throws<System.IO.IOException>();

sut.Invoking(x => 
        x.TransferFiles(
            myInterface.Object, 
            It.IsAny<string>(), 
            It.IsAny<string>()
        ))
        .ShouldThrow<System.IO.IOException>();

Edited:

Let me explain:

When you write a test, you must know exactly what you want to test, this is called: "subject under test (SUT)", if my understanding is correctly, in this case your SUT is: Transfer

So with this in mind, you should not mock your SUT, if you substitute your SUT, then you wouldn't be actually testing the real code

When your SUT has external dependencies (very common) then you need to substitute them in order to test in isolation your SUT. When I say substitute I'm referring to use a mock, dummy, mock, etc depending on your needs

In this case your external dependency is IFileConnection so you need to create mock for this dependency and configure it to throw the exception, then just call your SUT real method and assert your method handles the exception as expected

  • var fixture = new Fixture().Customize(new AutoMoqCustomization());: This linie initializes a new Fixture object (Autofixture library), this object is used to create SUT's without having to explicitly have to worry about the constructor parameters, since they are created automatically or mocked, in this case using Moq

  • var myInterface = fixture.Freeze<Mock<IFileConnection>>();: This freezes the IFileConnection dependency. Freeze means that Autofixture will use always this dependency when asked, like a singleton for simplicity. But the interesting part is that we are creating a Mock of this dependency, you can use all the Moq methods, since this is a simple Moq object

  • var sut = fixture.CreateAnonymous<Transfer>();: Here AutoFixture is creating the SUT for us

  • myInterface.Setup(x => x.Get(It.IsAny<string>(), It.IsAny<string>())).Throws<System.IO.IOException>(); Here you are configuring the dependency to throw an exception whenever the Get method is called, the rest of the methods from this interface are not being configured, therefore if you try to access them you will get an unexpected exception

  • sut.Invoking(x => x.TransferFiles(myInterface.Object, It.IsAny<string>(), It.IsAny<string>())).ShouldThrow<System.IO.IOException>();: And finally, the time to test your SUT, this line uses the FluenAssertions library, and it just calls the TransferFiles real method from the SUT and as parameters it receives the mocked IFileConnection so whenever you call the IFileConnection.Get in the normal flow of your SUT TransferFiles method, the mocked object will be invoking throwing the configured exception and this is the time to assert that your SUT is handling correctly the exception, in this case, I am just assuring that the exception was thrown by using the ShouldThrow<System.IO.IOException>() (from the FluentAssertions library)

Axios having CORS issue

May help to someone:

I'm sending data from react application to golang server.

Once I change this, w.Header().Set("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*"). Error has fixed.

React form submit function:

async handleSubmit(e) {
    e.preventDefault();

    const headers = {
        'Content-Type': 'text/plain'
    };

    await axios.post(
        'http://localhost:3001/login',
        {
            user_name: this.state.user_name,
            password: this.state.password,
        },
        {headers}
        ).then(response => {
            console.log("Success ========>", response);
        })
        .catch(error => {
            console.log("Error ========>", error);
        }
    )
}

Go server got Router,

func main()  {
    router := mux.NewRouter()

    router.HandleFunc("/login", Login.Login).Methods("POST")

    log.Fatal(http.ListenAndServe(":3001", router))
}

Login.go,

func Login(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request)  {

    var user = Models.User{}
    data, err := ioutil.ReadAll(r.Body)

    if err == nil {
        err := json.Unmarshal(data, &user)
        if err == nil {
            user = Postgres.GetUser(user.UserName, user.Password)
            w.Header().Set("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*")
            json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(user)
        }
    }
}

Primefaces valueChangeListener or <p:ajax listener not firing for p:selectOneMenu

Another solution is to mix valueChangeListener, ajax and process:

<p:selectManyCheckbox id="employees" value="#{employees}" columns="1" layout="grid" valueChangeListener="#{mybean.fireSelection}"   >
    <f:selectItems var="employee" value="#{employeesSI}" />
    <p:ajax event="valueChange" immediate="true" process="@this"/>
</p:selectManyCheckbox>

Method in mybean is just :

public void fireSelection(ValueChangeEvent event) {
    log.debug("New: "+event.getNewValue()+", Old: "+event.getOldValue());
}

Like this, valueChangeEvent is very light !

PS: Works fine with PrimeFaces 5.0

Notify ObservableCollection when Item changes

The ObservableCollection and its derivatives raises its property changes internally. The code in your setter should only be triggered if you assign a new TrulyObservableCollection<MyType> to the MyItemsSource property. That is, it should only happen once, from the constructor.

From that point forward, you'll get property change notifications from the collection, not from the setter in your viewmodel.

Error while sending QUERY packet

You can solve this problem by following few steps:

1) open your terminal window

2) please write following command in your terminal

ssh root@yourIP port

3) Enter root password

4) Now edit your server my.cnf file using below command

nano /etc/my.cnf  

if command is not recognized do this first or try vi then repeat: yum install nano.

OR

  vi /etc/my.cnf 

5) Add the line under the [MYSQLD] section. :

max_allowed_packet=524288000 (obviously adjust size for whatever you need) 
wait_timeout = 100

6) Control + O (save) then ENTER (confirm) then Control + X (exit file)

7) Then restart your mysql server by following command

/etc/init.d/mysql stop
/etc/init.d/mysql start

8) You can verify by going into PHPMyAdmin or opening a SQL command window and executing:

SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'max_allowed_packet'

This works for me. I hope it should work for you.

Rock, Paper, Scissors Game Java

Why not check for what the user entered and then ask the user to enter correct input again?

eg:

//Get player's play from input-- note that this is 
// stored as a string 
System.out.println("Enter your play: "); 
response = scan.next();
if(response=="R"||response=="P"||response=="S"){
  personPlay = response;
}else{
  System.out.println("Invaild Input")
}

for the other modifications, please check my total code at pastebin

Remove new lines from string and replace with one empty space

maybe this works:

Calling a stored procedure in Oracle with IN and OUT parameters

I had the same problem. I used a trigger and in that trigger I called a procedure which computed some values into 2 OUT variables. When I tried to print the result in the trigger body, nothing showed on screen. But then I solved this problem by making 2 local variables in a function, computed what I need with them and finally, copied those variables in your OUT procedure variables. I hope it'll be useful and successful!

Get value of multiselect box using jQuery or pure JS

According to the widget's page, it should be:

}).get();

It works for me :)

java Arrays.sort 2d array

for decreasing order for integer array of 2 dimension you can use

Arrays.sort(contests, (a, b) -> Integer.compare(b[0],a[0]));//decreasing order

Arrays.sort(contests, (a, b) -> Integer.compare(a[0],b[0]);//decreasing order

Can not deserialize instance of java.lang.String out of START_ARRAY token

The error is:

Can not deserialize instance of java.lang.String out of START_ARRAY token at [Source: line: 1, column: 1095] (through reference chain: JsonGen["platforms"])

In JSON, platforms look like this:

"platforms": [
    {
        "platform": "iphone"
    },
    {
        "platform": "ipad"
    },
    {
        "platform": "android_phone"
    },
    {
        "platform": "android_tablet"
    }
]

So try change your pojo to something like this:

private List platforms;

public List getPlatforms(){
    return this.platforms;
}

public void setPlatforms(List platforms){
    this.platforms = platforms;
}

EDIT: you will need change mobile_networks too. Will look like this:

private List mobile_networks;

public List getMobile_networks() {
    return mobile_networks;
}

public void setMobile_networks(List mobile_networks) {
    this.mobile_networks = mobile_networks;
}

Transfer data from one HTML file to another

The old fashioned way of setting a global variable that persist between pages is to set the data in a Cookie. The modern way is to use Local Storage, which has a good browser support (IE8+, Firefox 3.5+, Chrome 4+, Android 2+, iPhone 2+). Using localStorage is as easy as using an array:

localStorage["key"] = value;

... in another page ...
value = localStorage["key"];

You can also attach event handlers to listen for changes, though the event API is slightly different between browsers. More on the topic.

Where do I find the line number in the Xcode editor?

To save $4.99 for a one time use and no dealing with HomeBrew and no counting empty lines.

  1. Open Terminal
  2. cd to your Xcode project
  3. Execute the following when inside your target project:

find . -name "*.swift" -print0 | xargs -0 wc -l

If you want to exclude pods:

find . -path ./Pods -prune -o -name "*.swift" -print0 ! -name "/Pods" | xargs -0 wc -l

If your project has objective c and swift:

find . -type d \( -path ./Pods -o -path ./Vendor \) -prune -o \( -iname \*.m -o -iname \*.mm -o -iname \*.h -o -iname \*.swift \) -print0 | xargs -0 wc -l

What's the pythonic way to use getters and setters?

You can use accessors/mutators (i.e. @attr.setter and @property) or not, but the most important thing is to be consistent!

If you're using @property to simply access an attribute, e.g.

class myClass:
    def __init__(a):
        self._a = a

    @property
    def a(self):
        return self._a

use it to access every* attribute! It would be a bad practice to access some attributes using @property and leave some other properties public (i.e. name without an underscore) without an accessor, e.g. do not do

class myClass:
    def __init__(a, b):
        self.a = a
        self.b = b

    @property
    def a(self):
        return self.a

Note that self.b does not have an explicit accessor here even though it's public.

Similarly with setters (or mutators), feel free to use @attribute.setter but be consistent! When you do e.g.

class myClass:
    def __init__(a, b):
        self.a = a
        self.b = b 

    @a.setter
    def a(self, value):
        return self.a = value

It's hard for me to guess your intention. On one hand you're saying that both a and b are public (no leading underscore in their names) so I should theoretically be allowed to access/mutate (get/set) both. But then you specify an explicit mutator only for a, which tells me that maybe I should not be able to set b. Since you've provided an explicit mutator I am not sure if the lack of explicit accessor (@property) means I should not be able to access either of those variables or you were simply being frugal in using @property.

*The exception is when you explicitly want to make some variables accessible or mutable but not both or you want to perform some additional logic when accessing or mutating an attribute. This is when I am personally using @property and @attribute.setter (otherwise no explicit acessors/mutators for public attributes).

Lastly, PEP8 and Google Style Guide suggestions:

PEP8, Designing for Inheritance says:

For simple public data attributes, it is best to expose just the attribute name, without complicated accessor/mutator methods. Keep in mind that Python provides an easy path to future enhancement, should you find that a simple data attribute needs to grow functional behavior. In that case, use properties to hide functional implementation behind simple data attribute access syntax.

On the other hand, according to Google Style Guide Python Language Rules/Properties the recommendation is to:

Use properties in new code to access or set data where you would normally have used simple, lightweight accessor or setter methods. Properties should be created with the @property decorator.

The pros of this approach:

Readability is increased by eliminating explicit get and set method calls for simple attribute access. Allows calculations to be lazy. Considered the Pythonic way to maintain the interface of a class. In terms of performance, allowing properties bypasses needing trivial accessor methods when a direct variable access is reasonable. This also allows accessor methods to be added in the future without breaking the interface.

and cons:

Must inherit from object in Python 2. Can hide side-effects much like operator overloading. Can be confusing for subclasses.

How can I use Async with ForEach?

Starting with C# 8.0, you can create and consume streams asynchronously.

    private async void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        IAsyncEnumerable<int> enumerable = GenerateSequence();

        await foreach (var i in enumerable)
        {
            Debug.WriteLine(i);
        }
    }

    public static async IAsyncEnumerable<int> GenerateSequence()
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++)
        {
            await Task.Delay(100);
            yield return i;
        }
    }

Simulating Button click in javascript

Since you are using jQuery you can use this onClick handler which calls click:

This is the same as $("#datepicker").trigger("click").

How to efficiently build a tree from a flat structure?

It's not exactly the same as what the asker looked for, but I had difficulty wrapping my head around the ambiguously phrased answers provided here, and I still think this answer fits under the title.

My answer is for mapping a flat structure to a directly-on-object tree where all you have is a ParentID on each object. ParentID is null or 0 if it is a root. Opposite of the asker, I assume all valid ParentID's point to something else in the list:

var rootNodes = new List<DTIntranetMenuItem>();
var dictIntranetMenuItems = new Dictionary<long, DTIntranetMenuItem>();

//Convert the flat database items to the DTO's,
//that has a list of children instead of a ParentID.
foreach (var efIntranetMenuItem in flatIntranetMenuItems) //List<tblIntranetMenuItem>
{
    //Automapper (nuget)
    DTIntranetMenuItem intranetMenuItem =
                                   Mapper.Map<DTIntranetMenuItem>(efIntranetMenuItem);
    intranetMenuItem.Children = new List<DTIntranetMenuItem>();
    dictIntranetMenuItems.Add(efIntranetMenuItem.ID, intranetMenuItem);
}

foreach (var efIntranetMenuItem in flatIntranetMenuItems)
{
    //Getting the equivalent object of the converted ones
    DTIntranetMenuItem intranetMenuItem = dictIntranetMenuItems[efIntranetMenuItem.ID];

    if (efIntranetMenuItem.ParentID == null || efIntranetMenuItem.ParentID <= 0)
    {
        rootNodes.Add(intranetMenuItem);
    }
    else
    {
        var parent = dictIntranetMenuItems[efIntranetMenuItem.ParentID.Value];
        parent.Children.Add(intranetMenuItem);
        //intranetMenuItem.Parent = parent;
    }
}
return rootNodes;

Bootstrap 3: Keep selected tab on page refresh

Using html5 I cooked up this one:

Some where on the page:

<h2 id="heading" data-activetab="@ViewBag.activetab">Some random text</h2>

The viewbag should just contain the id for the page/element eg.: "testing"

I created a site.js and added the scrip on the page:

/// <reference path="../jquery-2.1.0.js" />
$(document).ready(
  function() {
    var setactive = $("#heading").data("activetab");
    var a = $('#' + setactive).addClass("active");
  }
)

Now all you have to do is to add your id's to your navbar. Eg.:

<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
  <li **id="testing" **>
    @Html.ActionLink("Lalala", "MyAction", "MyController")
  </li>
</ul>

Signtool error: No certificates were found that met all given criteria with a Windows Store App?

The criteria include account name (whose private key it is associated with), domain, company, expiration date, intended purposes, among other things.

There are many different possible reasons for this error to occur, some have been listed already. Here is another tip: When importing a certificate, be sure you work with the original file received from the certificate authority (CA), or else some of the properties might be lost.

Example: recently I tried to import a certificate exported from a different account on the same machine. The certificate became visible to my account but was not associated with my account, and as a result signtool refused to recognize it without explicitly providing the file name and a password. Which, when done as part of the build process and written out explicitly in a batch file or source file, may not be sufficiently secure. (Importing the original CA-issued certificate solved it.)

How do I paste multi-line bash codes into terminal and run it all at once?

If you press C-x C-e command that will open your default editor which defined .bashrc, after that you can use all powerful features of your editor. When you save and exit, the lines will wait your enter.

If you want to define your editor, just write for Ex. EDITOR=emacs -nw or EDITOR=vi inside of ~/.bashrc

How to call Stored Procedures with EntityFramework?

Based up the OP's original request to be able to called a stored proc like this...

using (Entities context = new Entities())
{
    context.MyStoreadProcedure(Parameters); 
}

Mindless passenger has a project that allows you to call a stored proc from entity frame work like this....

using (testentities te = new testentities())
{
    //-------------------------------------------------------------
    // Simple stored proc
    //-------------------------------------------------------------
    var parms1 = new testone() { inparm = "abcd" };
    var results1 = te.CallStoredProc<testone>(te.testoneproc, parms1);
    var r1 = results1.ToList<TestOneResultSet>();
}

... and I am working on a stored procedure framework (here) which you can call like in one of my test methods shown below...

[TestClass]
public class TenantDataBasedTests : BaseIntegrationTest
{
    [TestMethod]
    public void GetTenantForName_ReturnsOneRecord()
    {
        // ARRANGE
        const int expectedCount = 1;
        const string expectedName = "Me";

        // Build the paraemeters object
        var parameters = new GetTenantForTenantNameParameters
        {
            TenantName = expectedName
        };

        // get an instance of the stored procedure passing the parameters
        var procedure = new GetTenantForTenantNameProcedure(parameters);

        // Initialise the procedure name and schema from procedure attributes
        procedure.InitializeFromAttributes();

        // Add some tenants to context so we have something for the procedure to return!
        AddTenentsToContext(Context);

        // ACT
        // Get the results by calling the stored procedure from the context extention method 
        var results = Context.ExecuteStoredProcedure(procedure);

        // ASSERT
        Assert.AreEqual(expectedCount, results.Count);
    }
}

internal class GetTenantForTenantNameParameters
{
    [Name("TenantName")]
    [Size(100)]
    [ParameterDbType(SqlDbType.VarChar)]
    public string TenantName { get; set; }
}

[Schema("app")]
[Name("Tenant_GetForTenantName")]
internal class GetTenantForTenantNameProcedure
    : StoredProcedureBase<TenantResultRow, GetTenantForTenantNameParameters>
{
    public GetTenantForTenantNameProcedure(
        GetTenantForTenantNameParameters parameters)
        : base(parameters)
    {
    }
}

If either of those two approaches are any good?

React native ERROR Packager can't listen on port 8081

That picture indeed shows that your 8081 is not in use. If suggestions above haven't helped, and your mobile device is connected to your computer via usb (and you have Android 5.0 (Lollipop) or above) you could try:

$ adb reconnect

This is not necessary in most cases, but just in case, let's reset your connection with your mobile and restart adb server. Finally:

$ adb reverse tcp:8081 tcp:8081

So, whenever your mobile device tries to access any port 8081 on itself it will be routed to the 8081 port on your PC.

Or, one could try

$ killall node

Can Json.NET serialize / deserialize to / from a stream?

The current version of Json.net does not allow you to use the accepted answer code. A current alternative is:

public static object DeserializeFromStream(Stream stream)
{
    var serializer = new JsonSerializer();

    using (var sr = new StreamReader(stream))
    using (var jsonTextReader = new JsonTextReader(sr))
    {
        return serializer.Deserialize(jsonTextReader);
    }
}

JUnit assertEquals(double expected, double actual, double epsilon)

Epsilon is your "fuzz factor," since doubles may not be exactly equal. Epsilon lets you describe how close they have to be.

If you were expecting 3.14159 but would take anywhere from 3.14059 to 3.14259 (that is, within 0.001), then you should write something like

double myPi = 22.0d / 7.0d; //Don't use this in real life!
assertEquals(3.14159, myPi, 0.001);

(By the way, 22/7 comes out to 3.1428+, and would fail the assertion. This is a good thing.)

Get attribute name value of <input>

You need to write a selector which selects the correct <input> first. Ideally you use the element's ID $('#element_id'), failing that the ID of it's container $('#container_id input'), or the element's class $('input.class_name').

Your element has none of these and no context, so it's hard to tell you how to select it.

Once you have figured out the proper selector, you'd use the attr method to access the element's attributes. To get the name, you'd use $(selector).attr('name') which would return (in your example) 'xxxxx'.

ruby LoadError: cannot load such file

The directory where st.rb lives is most likely not on your load path.

Assuming that st.rb is located in a directory called lib relative to where you invoke irb, you can add that lib directory to the list of directories that ruby uses to load classes or modules with this:

$: << 'lib'

For example, in order to call the module called 'foobar' (foobar.rb) that lives in the lib directory, I would need to first add the lib directory to the list of load path. Here, I am just appending the lib directory to my load path:

irb(main):001:0> require 'foobar'
LoadError: no such file to load -- foobar
        from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `gem_original_require'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in `require'
        from (irb):1
irb(main):002:0> $:
=> ["/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/spoon-0.0.1/lib", "/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/interactive_editor-0.0.10/lib", "/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8", "/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i386-cygwin", "/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby", "/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8", "/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/i386-cygwin", "/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby", "/usr/lib/ruby/1.8", "/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-cygwin", "."]

=> ["/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/spoon-0.0.1/lib", "/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/interactive_editor-0.0.10/lib", "/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8", "/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/i386-cygwin", "/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby", "/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8", "/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby/1.8/i386-cygwin", "/usr/lib/ruby/vendor_ruby", "/usr/lib/ruby/1.8", "/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/i386-cygwin", ".", "lib"]
irb(main):005:0> require 'foobar'
=> true

EDIT Sorry, I completely missed the fact that you are using ruby 1.9.x. All accounts report that your current working directory has been removed from LOAD_PATH for security reasons, so you will have to do something like in irb:

Pass mouse events through absolutely-positioned element

If all you need is mousedown, you may be able to make do with the document.elementFromPoint method, by:

  2. passing the x and y coordinates from the event to the document.elementFromPoint method to get the element underneath, and then
  3. restoring the top layer.

What is a unix command for deleting the first N characters of a line?

You can use cut:

cut -c N- file.txt > new_file.txt

-c: characters

file.txt: input file

new_file.txt: output file

N-: Characters from N to end to be cut and output to the new file.

Can also have other args like: 'N' , 'N-M', '-M' meaning nth character, nth to mth character, first to mth character respectively.

This will perform the operation to each line of the input file.

Java: how do I initialize an array size if it's unknown?

I agree that a data structure like a List is the best way to go:

List<Integer> values = new ArrayList<Integer>();
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
int value;
int numValues = 0;
do {
    value = in.nextInt();
    values.add(value);
} while (value >= 1) && (value <= 100);

Or you can just allocate an array of a max size and load values into it:

int maxValues = 100;
int [] values = new int[maxValues];
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
int value;
int numValues = 0;
do {
    value = in.nextInt();
    values[numValues++] = value;
} while (value >= 1) && (value <= 100) && (numValues < maxValues);

Array or List in Java. Which is faster?

Arrays recommended everywhere you may use them instead of list, especially in case if you know items count and size would not be changing.

See Oracle Java best practice: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/A97688_16/generic.903/bp/java.htm#1007056

Of course, if you need add and remove objects from collection many times easy use lists.

How to get the number of columns in a matrix?

While size(A,2) is correct, I find it's much more readable to first define

rows = @(x) size(x,1); 
cols = @(x) size(x,2);

and then use, for example, like this:

howManyColumns_in_A = cols(A)
howManyRows_in_A    = rows(A)

It might appear as a small saving, but size(.., 1) and size(.., 2) must be some of the most commonly used functions, and they are not optimally readable as-is.

EntityType 'IdentityUserLogin' has no key defined. Define the key for this EntityType

My issue was similar - I had a new table i was creating that ahd to tie in to the identity users. After reading the above answers, realized it had to do with IsdentityUser and the inherited properites. I already had Identity set up as its own Context, so to avoid inherently tying the two together, rather than using the related user table as a true EF property, I set up a non-mapped property with the query to get the related entities. (DataManager is set up to retrieve the current context in which OtherEntity exists.)

    [Table("UserOtherEntity")]
        public partial class UserOtherEntity
        {
            public Guid UserOtherEntityId { get; set; }
            [Required]
            [StringLength(128)]
            public string UserId { get; set; }
            [Required]
            public Guid OtherEntityId { get; set; }
            public virtual OtherEntity OtherEntity { get; set; }
        }

    public partial class UserOtherEntity : DataManager
        {
            public static IEnumerable<OtherEntity> GetOtherEntitiesByUserId(string userId)
            {
                return Connect2Context.UserOtherEntities.Where(ue => ue.UserId == userId).Select(ue => ue.OtherEntity);
            }
        }

public partial class ApplicationUser : IdentityUser
    {
        public async Task<ClaimsIdentity> GenerateUserIdentityAsync(UserManager<ApplicationUser> manager)
        {
            // Note the authenticationType must match the one defined in CookieAuthenticationOptions.AuthenticationType
            var userIdentity = await manager.CreateIdentityAsync(this, DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ApplicationCookie);
            // Add custom user claims here
            return userIdentity;
        }

        [NotMapped]
        public IEnumerable<OtherEntity> OtherEntities
        {
            get
            {
                return UserOtherEntities.GetOtherEntitiesByUserId(this.Id);
            }
        }
    }

Python and SQLite: insert into table

Not a direct answer, but here is a function to insert a row with column-value pairs into sqlite table:

def sqlite_insert(conn, table, row):
    cols = ', '.join('"{}"'.format(col) for col in row.keys())
    vals = ', '.join(':{}'.format(col) for col in row.keys())
    sql = 'INSERT INTO "{0}" ({1}) VALUES ({2})'.format(table, cols, vals)
    conn.cursor().execute(sql, row)
    conn.commit()

Example of use:

sqlite_insert(conn, 'stocks', {
        'created_at': '2016-04-17',
        'type': 'BUY',
        'amount': 500,
        'price': 45.00})

Note, that table name and column names should be validated beforehand.

    tmp = Foo.objects.get(pk=1)
    tmp.pk = None
    tmp.id = None
    instance = tmp

How do I convert NSInteger to NSString datatype?

NSIntegers are not objects, you cast them to long, in order to match the current 64-bit architectures' definition:

NSString *inStr = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"%ld", (long)month];

Exposing a port on a live Docker container

In case no answer is working for someone - check if your target container is already running in docker network:

CONTAINER=my-target-container
docker inspect $CONTAINER | grep NetworkMode
        "NetworkMode": "my-network-name",

Save it for later in the variable $NET_NAME:

NET_NAME=$(docker inspect --format '{{.HostConfig.NetworkMode}}' $CONTAINER)

If yes, you should run the proxy container in the same network.

Next look up the alias for the container:

docker inspect $CONTAINER | grep -A2 Aliases
                "Aliases": [
                    "my-alias",
                    "23ea4ea42e34a"

Save it for later in the variable $ALIAS:

ALIAS=$(docker inspect --format '{{index .NetworkSettings.Networks "'$NET_NAME'" "Aliases" 0}}' $CONTAINER)

Now run socat in a container in the network $NET_NAME to bridge to the $ALIASed container's exposed (but not published) port:

docker run \
    --detach --name my-new-proxy \
    --net $NET_NAME \
    --publish 8080:1234 \
    alpine/socat TCP-LISTEN:1234,fork TCP-CONNECT:$ALIAS:80

Handling a Menu Item Click Event - Android

Add Following Code

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    switch (item.getItemId()) {
    case R.id.new_item:
        Intent i = new Intent(this,SecondActivity.class);
            this.startActivity(i);
            return true;
    default:
        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }
}

Example use of "continue" statement in Python?

Some people have commented about readability, saying "Oh it doesn't help readability that much, who cares?"

Suppose you need a check before the main code:

if precondition_fails(message): continue

''' main code here '''

Note you can do this after the main code was written without changing that code in anyway. If you diff the code, only the added line with "continue" will be highlighted since there are no spacing changes to the main code.

Imagine if you have to do a breakfix of production code, which turns out to simply be adding a line with continue. It's easy to see that's the only change when you review the code. If you start wrapping the main code in if/else, diff will highlight the newly indented code, unless you ignore spacing changes, which is dangerous particularly in Python. I think unless you've been in the situation where you have to roll out code on short notice, you might not fully appreciate this.

Numpy - add row to array

I use 'np.vstack' which is faster, EX:

import numpy as np

input_array=np.array([1,2,3])
new_row= np.array([4,5,6])

new_array=np.vstack([input_array, new_row])

Creating a search form in PHP to search a database?

Are you sure, that specified database and table exists? Did you try to look at your database using any database client? For example command-line MySQL client bundled with MySQL server. Or if you a developer newbie, there are dozens of a GUI and web interface clients (HeidiSQL, MySQL Workbench, phpMyAdmin and many more). So first check, if your table creation script was successful and had created what it have to.

BTW why do you have a script for creating the database structure? It's usualy a nonrecurring operation, so write the script to do this is unneeded. It's useful only in case of need of repeatedly creating and manipulating the database structure on the fly.
