Disable scrolling when touch moving certain element

try overflow hidden on the thing you don't want to scroll while touch event is happening. e.g set overflow hidden on Start and set it back to auto on end.

Did you try it ? I'd be interested to know if this would work.

document.addEventListener('ontouchstart', function(e) {
    document.body.style.overflow = "hidden";
}, false);

document.addEventListener('ontouchmove', function(e) {
    document.body.style.overflow = "auto";
}, false);

Best approach to remove time part of datetime in SQL Server

Strip time on inserts/updates in the first place. As for on-the-fly conversion, nothing can beat a user-defined function maintanability-wise:

select date_only(dd)

The implementation of date_only can be anything you like - now it's abstracted away and calling code is much much cleaner.

Using Rsync include and exclude options to include directory and file by pattern

The problem is that --exclude="*" says to exclude (for example) the 1260000000/ directory, so rsync never examines the contents of that directory, so never notices that the directory contains files that would have been matched by your --include.

I think the closest thing to what you want is this:

rsync -nrv --include="*/" --include="file_11*.jpg" --exclude="*" /Storage/uploads/ /website/uploads/

(which will include all directories, and all files matching file_11*.jpg, but no other files), or maybe this:

rsync -nrv --include="/[0-9][0-9][0-9]0000000/" --include="file_11*.jpg" --exclude="*" /Storage/uploads/ /website/uploads/

(same concept, but much pickier about the directories it will include).

iPhone hide Navigation Bar only on first page

In case anyone still having trouble with the fast backswipe cancelled bug as @fabb commented in the accepted answer.

I manage to fix this by overriding viewDidLayoutSubviews, in addition to viewWillAppear/viewWillDisappear as shown below:

override func viewWillAppear(animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillAppear(animated)
    self.navigationController?.setNavigationBarHidden(false, animated: animated)
}

override func viewWillDisappear(animated: Bool) {
    super.viewWillDisappear(animated)
    self.navigationController?.setNavigationBarHidden(true, animated: animated)
}

//*** This is required to fix navigation bar forever disappear on fast backswipe bug.
override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
    super.viewDidLayoutSubviews()
    self.navigationController?.setNavigationBarHidden(false, animated: false)
}

In my case, I notice that it is because the root view controller (where nav is hidden) and the pushed view controller (nav is shown) has different status bar styles (e.g. dark and light). The moment you start the backswipe to pop the view controller, there will be additional status bar colour animation. If you release your finger in order to cancel the interactive pop, while the status bar animation is not finished, the navigation bar is forever gone!

However, this bug doesn't occur if status bar styles of both view controllers are the same.

Changing CSS style from ASP.NET code

C#, because I don't want to typo the VB syntax.

Markup:

<div runat="server" id="divControl">...</div>

Class of the Page:

protected System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl divControl;

OnLoad/Other function:

divControl.Style.Add("height", number / anotherNumer);

Xcode 9 error: "iPhone has denied the launch request"

I attentively read all answers but they don't help me. My solution:

  1. Go to Xcode preferences, select accounts (? + ,)
  2. Select your Apple ID, choose team and click Manage Certificates
  3. In Pop up menu in bottom left corner click + button and select iOS Development, then click done and close popup
  4. Try to relaunch application, now it's should fine.

What is the difference between T(n) and O(n)?

Rather than provide a theoretical definition, which are beautifully summarized here already, I'll give a simple example:

Assume the run time of f(i) is O(1). Below is a code fragment whose asymptotic runtime is T(n). It always calls the function f(...) n times. Both the lower and the upper bound is n.

for(int i=0; i<n; i++){
    f(i);
}

The second code fragment below has the asymptotic runtime of O(n). It calls the function f(...) at most n times. The upper bound is n, but the lower bound could be O(1) or O(log(n)), depending on what happens inside f2(i).

for(int i=0; i<n; i++){
    if( f2(i) ) break;
    f(i);
}

Axios handling errors

call the request function from anywhere without having to use catch().

First, while handling most errors in one place is a good Idea, it's not that easy with requests. Some errors (e.g. 400 validation errors like: "username taken" or "invalid email") should be passed on.

So we now use a Promise based function:

const baseRequest = async (method: string, url: string, data: ?{}) =>
  new Promise<{ data: any }>((resolve, reject) => {
    const requestConfig: any = {
      method,
      data,
      timeout: 10000,
      url,
      headers: {},
    };

    try {
      const response = await axios(requestConfig);
      // Request Succeeded!
      resolve(response);
    } catch (error) {
      // Request Failed!

      if (error.response) {
        // Request made and server responded
        reject(response);
      } else if (error.request) {
        // The request was made but no response was received
        reject(response);
      } else {
        // Something happened in setting up the request that triggered an Error
        reject(response);
      }
    }
  };

you can then use the request like

try {
  response = await baseRequest('GET', 'https://myApi.com/path/to/endpoint')
} catch (error) {
  // either handle errors or don't
}

exclude @Component from @ComponentScan

I had an issue when using @Configuration, @EnableAutoConfiguration and @ComponentScan while trying to exclude specific configuration classes, the thing is it didn't work!

Eventually I solved the problem by using @SpringBootApplication, which according to Spring documentation does the same functionality as the three above in one annotation.

Another Tip is to try first without refining your package scan (without the basePackages filter).

@SpringBootApplication(exclude= {Foo.class})
public class MySpringConfiguration {}

Apache SSL Configuration Error (SSL Connection Error)

I was getting the same error in chrome (and different one in Firefox, IE). Also in error.log i was getting [error] [client cli.ent.ip.add] Invalid method in request \x16\x03 Following the instructions form this site I changed my configuration FROM:

<VirtualHost subdomain.domain.com:443>

   ServerAdmin [email protected]
   ServerName subdomain.domain.com

   SSLEngine On
   SSLCertificateFile conf/ssl/ssl.crt
   SSLCertificateKeyFile conf/ssl/ssl.key
</VirtualHost>

TO:

<VirtualHost _default_:443>

   ServerAdmin [email protected]
   ServerName subdomain.domain.com

   SSLEngine On
   SSLCertificateFile conf/ssl/ssl.crt
   SSLCertificateKeyFile conf/ssl/ssl.key
</VirtualHost>

Now it's working fine :)

Correct way of looping through C++ arrays

If you have a very short list of elements you would like to handle, you could use the std::initializer_list introduced in C++11 together with auto:

#include <iostream>

int main(int, char*[])
{
    for(const auto& ext : { ".slice", ".socket", ".service", ".target" })
        std::cout << "Handling *" << ext << " systemd files" << std::endl;

    return 0;
}

Spring profiles and testing

@EnableConfigurationProperties needs to be there (you also can annotate your test class), the application-localtest.yml from test/resources will be loaded. A sample with jUnit5

@ExtendWith(SpringExtension.class)
@EnableConfigurationProperties
@ContextConfiguration(classes = {YourClasses}, initializers = ConfigFileApplicationContextInitializer.class)
@ActiveProfiles(profiles = "localtest")
class TestActiveProfile {

    @Test
    void testActiveProfile(){

    }
}

Unsupported major.minor version 52.0 when rendering in Android Studio

How to have multiple conditions for one if statement in python

Might be a bit odd or bad practice but this is one way of going about it.

(arg1, arg2, arg3) = (1, 2, 3)

if (arg1 == 1)*(arg2 == 2)*(arg3 == 3):
    print('Example.')

Anything multiplied by 0 == 0. If any of these conditions fail then it evaluates to false.

Android: java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: start Intent

Make sure that the component has the "exported" flag set to true. Also the component defining the permission should be installed before the component that uses it.

Cannot read property 'getContext' of null, using canvas

You should put javascript tag in your html file. because browser load your webpage according to html flow, you should put your javascript file<script src="javascript/game.js"> after the <canvas>element tag. otherwise,if you put your javascript in the header of html.Browser load script first but it doesn't find the canvas. So your canvas doesn't work.

How to convert JSON string into List of Java object?

StudentList studentList = mapper.readValue(jsonString,StudentList.class);

How to delete $_POST variable upon pressing 'Refresh' button on browser with PHP?

Simple PHP solution to this:

if (isset($_POST['aaa'])){
echo '
<script type="text/javascript">
location.reload();

}

As the page is reloaded it will update on screen the new data and clear the $_POST ;)

Change status bar color with AppCompat ActionBarActivity

There are various ways of changing the status bar color.

1) Using the styles.xml. You can use the android:statusBarColor attribute to do this the easy but static way.

Note: You can also use this attribute with the Material theme.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <style name="AppTheme" parent="AppTheme.Base">
        <item name="android:statusBarColor">@android:color/transparent</item>
    </style>
</resources>

2) You can get it done dynamically using the setStatusBarColor(int) method in the Window class. But remember that this method is only available for API 21 or higher. So be sure to check that, or your app will surely crash in lower devices.

Here is a working example of this method.

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 21) {
            Window window = getWindow();
            window.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DRAWS_SYSTEM_BAR_BACKGROUNDS);
            window.clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TRANSLUCENT_STATUS);
            window.setStatusBarColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.primaryDark));
}

where primaryDark is the 700 tint of the primary color I am using in my app. You can define this color in the colors.xml file.

Do give it a try and let me know if you have any questions. Hope it helps.

angular-cli where is webpack.config.js file - new angular6 does not support ng eject

There's a nice way to eject webpack.config.js from angular-cli. Just run:

$ ng eject

This will generate webpack.config.js in the root folder of your project, and you're free to configure it the way you want. The downside of this is that build/start scripts in your package.json will be replaced with the new commands and instead of

$ ng serve

you would have to do something like

$ npm run build & npm run start

This method should work in all the recent versions of angular-cli (I personally tried a few, with the oldest being 1.0.0-beta.21, and the latest 1.0.0-beta.32.3)

How can I create an error 404 in PHP?

The up-to-date answer (as of PHP 5.4 or newer) for generating 404 pages is to use http_response_code:

<?php
http_response_code(404);
include('my_404.php'); // provide your own HTML for the error page
die();

die() is not strictly necessary, but it makes sure that you don't continue the normal execution.

getDate with Jquery Datepicker

Padding between ActionBar's home icon and title

Im using a custom image instead of the default title text to the right of my apps logo. This is set up programatically like

    actionBar.setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);
    actionBar.setDisplayUseLogoEnabled(true);
    actionBar.setCustomView(R.layout.include_ab_txt_logo);
    actionBar.setDisplayShowCustomEnabled(true);

The issues with the above answers for me are @Cliffus's suggestion does not work for me due to the issues others have outlined in the comments and while @dushyanth programatic padding setting may have worked in the past I would think that the fact that the spacing is now set using android:layout_marginEnd="8dip" since API 17 manually setting the padding should have no effect. See the link he posted to git to verify its current state.

A simple solution for me is to set a negative margin on my custom view in the actionBar, like so android:layout_marginLeft="-14dp". A quick test shows it works for me on 2.3.3 and 4.3 using ActionBarCompat

Hope this helps someone!

VB.net Need Text Box to Only Accept Numbers

How to run certain task every day at a particular time using ScheduledExecutorService?

Just to add up on Victor's answer.

I would recommend to add a check to see, if the variable (in his case the long midnight) is higher than 1440. If it is, I would omit the .plusDays(1), otherwise the task will only run the day after tomorrow.

I did it simply like this:

Long time;

final Long tempTime = LocalDateTime.now().until(LocalDate.now().plusDays(1).atTime(7, 0), ChronoUnit.MINUTES);
if (tempTime > 1440) {
    time = LocalDateTime.now().until(LocalDate.now().atTime(7, 0), ChronoUnit.MINUTES);
} else {
    time = tempTime;
}

How do I temporarily disable triggers in PostgreSQL?

SET session_replication_role = replica; 

It doesn't work with PostgreSQL 9.4 on my Linux machine if i change a table through table editor in pgAdmin and works if i change table through ordinary query. Manual changes in pg_trigger table also don't work without server restart but dynamic query like on postgresql.nabble.com ENABLE / DISABLE ALL TRIGGERS IN DATABASE works. It could be useful when you need some tuning.

For example if you have tables in a particular namespace it could be:

create or replace function disable_triggers(a boolean, nsp character varying) returns void as
$$
declare 
act character varying;
r record;
begin
    if(a is true) then
        act = 'disable';
    else
        act = 'enable';
    end if;

    for r in select c.relname from pg_namespace n
        join pg_class c on c.relnamespace = n.oid and c.relhastriggers = true
        where n.nspname = nsp
    loop
        execute format('alter table %I %s trigger all', r.relname, act); 
    end loop;
end;
$$
language plpgsql;

If you want to disable all triggers with certain trigger function it could be:

create or replace function disable_trigger_func(a boolean, f character varying) returns void as
$$
declare 
act character varying;
r record;
begin
    if(a is true) then
        act = 'disable';
    else
        act = 'enable';
    end if;

    for r in select c.relname from pg_proc p 
        join pg_trigger t on t.tgfoid = p.oid
        join pg_class c on c.oid = t.tgrelid
        where p.proname = f
    loop
        execute format('alter table %I %s trigger all', r.relname, act); 
    end loop;
end;
$$
language plpgsql;

How to close <img> tag properly?

The best use of tags you should use:

<img src="" alt=""/>

Also you can use in HTML5:

<img src="" alt="">

These two are completely valid in HTML5 Pick one of them and stick with that.

How to change the default collation of a table?

To change the default character set and collation of a table including those of existing columns (note the convert to clause):

alter table <some_table> convert to character set utf8mb4 collate utf8mb4_unicode_ci;

Edited the answer, thanks to the prompting of some comments:

Should avoid recommending utf8. It's almost never what you want, and often leads to unexpected messes. The utf8 character set is not fully compatible with UTF-8. The utf8mb4 character set is what you want if you want UTF-8. – Rich Remer Mar 28 '18 at 23:41

and

That seems quite important, glad I read the comments and thanks @RichRemer . Nikki , I think you should edit that in your answer considering how many views this gets. See here https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/charset-unicode-utf8.html and here What is the difference between utf8mb4 and utf8 charsets in MySQL? – Paulpro Mar 12 at 17:46

Correct owner/group/permissions for Apache 2 site files/folders under Mac OS X?

Catalina Update / Desktop Permissions

I come across this once a year on macOS. I usually use apache2 for hosting a folder on my desktop.

If you are trying to give access to the desktop folder you need to follow this to allow httpd to have access to all folders: https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/373139/353465

setTimeout or setInterval?

They essentially try to do the same thing, but the setInterval approach will be more accurate than the setTimeout approach, since setTimeout waits 1000ms, runs the function and then sets another timeout. So the wait period is actually a bit more than 1000ms (or a lot more if your function takes a long time to execute).

Although one might think that setInterval will execute exactly every 1000ms, it is important to note that setInterval will also delay, since JavaScript isn't a multi-threaded language, which means that - if there are other parts of the script running - the interval will have to wait for that to finish.

In this Fiddle, you can clearly see that the timeout will fall behind, while the interval is almost all the time at almost 1 call/second (which the script is trying to do). If you change the speed variable at the top to something small like 20 (meaning it will try to run 50 times per second), the interval will never quite reach an average of 50 iterations per second.

The delay is almost always negligible, but if you're programming something really precise, you should go for a self-adjusting timer (which essentially is a timeout-based timer that constantly adjusts itself for the delay it's created)

how to pass variable from shell script to sqlplus

You appear to have a heredoc containing a single SQL*Plus command, though it doesn't look right as noted in the comments. You can either pass a value in the heredoc:

sqlplus -S user/pass@localhost << EOF
@/opt/D2RQ/file.sql BUILDING
exit;
EOF

or if BUILDING is $2 in your script:

sqlplus -S user/pass@localhost << EOF
@/opt/D2RQ/file.sql $2
exit;
EOF

If your file.sql had an exit at the end then it would be even simpler as you wouldn't need the heredoc:

sqlplus -S user/pass@localhost @/opt/D2RQ/file.sql $2

In your SQL you can then refer to the position parameters using substitution variables:

...
}',SEM_Models('&1'),NULL,
...

The &1 will be replaced with the first value passed to the SQL script, BUILDING; because that is a string it still needs to be enclosed in quotes. You might want to set verify off to stop if showing you the substitutions in the output.


You can pass multiple values, and refer to them sequentially just as you would positional parameters in a shell script - the first passed parameter is &1, the second is &2, etc. You can use substitution variables anywhere in the SQL script, so they can be used as column aliases with no problem - you just have to be careful adding an extra parameter that you either add it to the end of the list (which makes the numbering out of order in the script, potentially) or adjust everything to match:

sqlplus -S user/pass@localhost << EOF
@/opt/D2RQ/file.sql total_count BUILDING
exit;
EOF

or:

sqlplus -S user/pass@localhost << EOF
@/opt/D2RQ/file.sql total_count $2
exit;
EOF

If total_count is being passed to your shell script then just use its positional parameter, $4 or whatever. And your SQL would then be:

SELECT COUNT(*) as &1
FROM TABLE(SEM_MATCH(
'{
        ?s rdf:type :ProcessSpec .
        ?s ?p ?o
}',SEM_Models('&2'),NULL,
SEM_ALIASES(SEM_ALIAS('','http://VISION/DataSource/SEMANTIC_CACHE#')),NULL));

If you pass a lot of values you may find it clearer to use the positional parameters to define named parameters, so any ordering issues are all dealt with at the start of the script, where they are easier to maintain:

define MY_ALIAS = &1
define MY_MODEL = &2

SELECT COUNT(*) as &MY_ALIAS
FROM TABLE(SEM_MATCH(
'{
        ?s rdf:type :ProcessSpec .
        ?s ?p ?o
}',SEM_Models('&MY_MODEL'),NULL,
SEM_ALIASES(SEM_ALIAS('','http://VISION/DataSource/SEMANTIC_CACHE#')),NULL));

From your separate question, maybe you just wanted:

SELECT COUNT(*) as &1
FROM TABLE(SEM_MATCH(
'{
        ?s rdf:type :ProcessSpec .
        ?s ?p ?o
}',SEM_Models('&1'),NULL,
SEM_ALIASES(SEM_ALIAS('','http://VISION/DataSource/SEMANTIC_CACHE#')),NULL));

... so the alias will be the same value you're querying on (the value in $2, or BUILDING in the original part of the answer). You can refer to a substitution variable as many times as you want.

That might not be easy to use if you're running it multiple times, as it will appear as a header above the count value in each bit of output. Maybe this would be more parsable later:

select '&1' as QUERIED_VALUE, COUNT(*) as TOTAL_COUNT

If you set pages 0 and set heading off, your repeated calls might appear in a neat list. You might also need to set tab off and possibly use rpad('&1', 20) or similar to make that column always the same width. Or get the results as CSV with:

select '&1' ||','|| COUNT(*)

Depends what you're using the results for...

Why is an OPTIONS request sent and can I disable it?

It can be solved in case of use of a proxy that intercept the request and write the appropriate headers. In the particular case of Varnish these would be the rules:

if (req.http.host == "CUSTOM_URL" ) {
set resp.http.Access-Control-Allow-Origin = "*";
if (req.method == "OPTIONS") {
   set resp.http.Access-Control-Max-Age = "1728000";
   set resp.http.Access-Control-Allow-Methods = "GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH, OPTIONS";
   set resp.http.Access-Control-Allow-Headers = "Authorization,Content-Type,Accept,Origin,User-Agent,DNT,Cache-Control,X-Mx-ReqToken,Keep-Alive,X-Requested-With,If-Modified-Since";
   set resp.http.Content-Length = "0";
   set resp.http.Content-Type = "text/plain charset=UTF-8";
   set resp.status = 204;
}

}

Does MS Access support "CASE WHEN" clause if connect with ODBC?

I have had to use a multiple IIF statement to create a similar result in ACCESS SQL.

IIf([refi type] Like "FHA ST*","F",IIf([refi type]="VA IRRL","V"))

All remaining will stay Null.

How can I make a clickable link in an NSAttributedString?

I too had a similar requirement, initially I used UILabel and then I realized that UITextView is better. I made UITextView behave like UILabel by disabling interaction and scrolling and made a category method for NSMutableAttributedString to set link to text same as what Karl had done (+1 for that) this is my obj c version

-(void)setTextAsLink:(NSString*) textToFind withLinkURL:(NSString*) url
{
    NSRange range = [self.mutableString rangeOfString:textToFind options:NSCaseInsensitiveSearch];

    if (range.location != NSNotFound) {

        [self addAttribute:NSLinkAttributeName value:url range:range];
        [self addAttribute:NSForegroundColorAttributeName value:[UIColor URLColor] range:range];
    }
}

you can use the below delegate then to handle the action

- (BOOL)textView:(UITextView *)textView shouldInteractWithURL:(NSURL *)url inRange:(NSRange)characterRange
{
    // do the task
    return YES;
}

In Android EditText, how to force writing uppercase?

It is not possible to force a capslock only via the XML. Also 3rd party libraries do not help. You could do a toUpper() on the text on the receiving side, but there's no way to prevent it on the keyboard side

You can use XML to set the keyboard to caps lock.

Java

You can set the input_type to TYPE_CLASS_TEXT| TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_CAP_CHARACTERS. The keyboard should honor that.

Kotlin

android:inputType="textCapCharacters"

 # Here you define the absolute path of your script

 scriptPath="/home/user/pathScript/"

 # Name of your script

 scriptName="myscript.sh"

 # Here you execute your script

 $scriptPath/$scriptName

 # Result of script execution

 result=$?

Intersection and union of ArrayLists in Java

This post is fairly old, but nevertheless it was the first one popping up on google when looking for that topic.

I want to give an update using Java 8 streams doing (basically) the same thing in a single line:

List<T> intersect = list1.stream()
    .filter(list2::contains)
    .collect(Collectors.toList());

List<T> union = Stream.concat(list1.stream(), list2.stream())
    .distinct()
    .collect(Collectors.toList());

If anyone has a better/faster solution let me know, but this solution is a nice one liner that can be easily included in a method without adding a unnecessary helper class/method and still keep the readability.

There is already an open DataReader associated with this Command which must be closed first

In my case, I had to set the MultipleActiveResultSets to True in the connection string.
Then it appeared another error (the real one) about not being able to run 2 (SQL) commands at the same time over the same data context! (EF Core, Code first)
So the solution for me was to look for any other asynchronous command execution and turn them to synchronous, as I had just one DbContext for both commands.

I hope it helps you

What are the differences in die() and exit() in PHP?

Something I have noticed in my scripts at least is that exit() will stop the currently executing script and pass control back to any calling script, while die will stop php in its tracks. I would say that is quite a big difference?

How To Include CSS and jQuery in my WordPress plugin?

Just to append to @pixeline's answer (tried to add a simple comment but the site said I needed 50 reputation).

If you are writing your plugin for the admin section then you should use:

add_action('admin_enqueue_scripts', "add_my_css_and_my_js_files");

The admin_enqueueu_scripts is the correct hook for the admin section, use wp_enqueue_scripts for the front end.

Is it possible to delete an object's property in PHP?

This also works specially if you are looping over an object.

unset($object[$key])

Update

Newer versions of PHP throw fatal error Fatal error: Cannot use object of type Object as array as mentioned by @CXJ . In that case you can use brackets instead

unset($object->{$key})

iterating quickly through list of tuples

I wonder whether the below method is what you want.

You can use defaultdict.

>>> from collections import defaultdict
>>> s = [('red',1), ('blue',2), ('red',3), ('blue',4), ('red',1), ('blue',4)]
>>> d = defaultdict(list)
>>> for k, v in s:
       d[k].append(v)    
>>> sorted(d.items())
[('blue', [2, 4, 4]), ('red', [1, 3, 1])]

Android: Bitmaps loaded from gallery are rotated in ImageView

I improved upon the answer by Teo Inke. It no longer rotates the image unless it is actually necessary. It is also easier to read, and should run faster.

// Load Image
Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(filePath);

// Rotate Image if Needed
try
{
    // Determine Orientation
    ExifInterface exif = new ExifInterface(filePath);
    int orientation = exif.getAttributeInt(ExifInterface.TAG_ORIENTATION, 1);

    // Determine Rotation
    int rotation = 0;
    if      (orientation == 6)      rotation = 90;
    else if (orientation == 3)      rotation = 180;
    else if (orientation == 8)      rotation = 270;

    // Rotate Image if Necessary
    if (rotation != 0)
    {
        // Create Matrix
        Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
        matrix.postRotate(rotation);

        // Rotate Bitmap
        Bitmap rotated = Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight(), matrix, true); 

        // Pretend none of this ever happened!
        bitmap.recycle();
        bitmap = rotated;
        rotated = null;
     }
}
catch (Exception e)
{
    // TODO: Log Error Messages Here
}

// TODO: Use Result Here
xxx.setBitmap(bitmap);

Tomcat starts but home page cannot open with url http://localhost:8080

1) Using Terminal (On Linux), go to the apache-tomcat-directory/bin folder.

2) Type ./catalina.sh start

3) To stop Tomcat, type ./catalina.sh stop from the bin folder. For some reason ./startup.sh doesn't work sometimes.

How to find the installed pandas version

Check pandas.__version__:

In [76]: import pandas as pd

In [77]: pd.__version__
Out[77]: '0.12.0-933-g281dc4e'

Pandas also provides a utility function, pd.show_versions(), which reports the version of its dependencies as well:

In [53]: pd.show_versions(as_json=False)

Algorithm to generate all possible permutations of a list?

Recursive always takes some mental effort to maintain. And for big numbers, factorial is easily huge and stack overflow will easily be a problem.

For small numbers (3 or 4, which is mostly encountered), multiple loops are quite simple and straight forward. It is unfortunate answers with loops didn't get voted up.

Let's start with enumeration (rather than permutation). Simply read the code as pseudo perl code.

$foreach $i1 in @list
    $foreach $i2 in @list 
        $foreach $i3 in @list
            print "$i1, $i2, $i3\n"

Enumeration is more often encountered than permutation, but if permutation is needed, just add the conditions:

$foreach $i1 in @list
    $foreach $i2 in @list 
        $if $i2==$i1
            next
        $foreach $i3 in @list
            $if $i3==$i1 or $i3==$i2
                next
            print "$i1, $i2, $i3\n"

Now if you really need general method potentially for big lists, we can use radix method. First, consider the enumeration problem:

$n=@list
my @radix
$for $i=0:$n
    $radix[$i]=0
$while 1
    my @temp
    $for $i=0:$n
        push @temp, $list[$radix[$i]]
    print join(", ", @temp), "\n"
    $call radix_increment

subcode: radix_increment
    $i=0
    $while 1
        $radix[$i]++
        $if $radix[$i]==$n
            $radix[$i]=0
            $i++
        $else
            last
    $if $i>=$n
        last

Radix increment is essentially number counting (in the base of number of list elements).

Now if you need permutaion, just add the checks inside the loop:

subcode: check_permutation
    my @check
    my $flag_dup=0
    $for $i=0:$n
        $check[$radix[$i]]++
        $if $check[$radix[$i]]>1
            $flag_dup=1
            last
    $if $flag_dup
        next

Edit: The above code should work, but for permutation, radix_increment could be wasteful. So if time is a practical concern, we have to change radix_increment into permute_inc:

subcode: permute_init
    $for $i=0:$n
        $radix[$i]=$i

subcode: permute_inc                                       
    $max=-1                                                
    $for $i=$n:0                                           
        $if $max<$radix[$i]                                
            $max=$radix[$i]                                
        $else                                              
            $for $j=$n:0                                   
                $if $radix[$j]>$radix[$i]                  
                    $call swap, $radix[$i], $radix[$j]     
                    break                                  
            $j=$i+1                                        
            $k=$n-1                                        
            $while $j<$k                                   
                $call swap, $radix[$j], $radix[$k]         
                $j++                                       
                $k--                                       
            break                                          
    $if $i<0                                               
        break                                              

Of course now this code is logically more complex, I'll leave for reader's exercise.

Angular HTML binding

_x000D_
_x000D_
 <div [innerHTML]="HtmlPrint"></div><br>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

The innerHtml is a property of HTML-Elements, which allows you to set it’s html-content programatically. There is also a innerText property which defines the content as plain text.

The [attributeName]="value" box bracket , surrounding the attribute defines an Angular input-binding. That means, that the value of the property (in your case innerHtml) is bound to the given expression, when the expression-result changes, the property value changes too.

So basically [innerHtml] allows you to bind and dynamically change the html-conent of the given HTML-Element.

Python match a string with regex

You do not need regular expressions to check if a substring exists in a string.

line = 'This,is,a,sample,string'
result = bool('sample' in line) # returns True

If you want to know if a string contains a pattern then you should use re.search

line = 'This,is,a,sample,string'
result = re.search(r'sample', line) # finds 'sample'

This is best used with pattern matching, for example:

line = 'my name is bob'
result = re.search(r'my name is (\S+)', line) # finds 'bob'

Can PHP cURL retrieve response headers AND body in a single request?

Just in case you can't / don't use CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION or other solutions;

$nextCheck = function($body) {
    return ($body && strpos($body, 'HTTP/') === 0);
};

[$headers, $body] = explode("\r\n\r\n", $result, 2);
if ($nextCheck($body)) {
    do {
        [$headers, $body] = explode("\r\n\r\n", $body, 2);
    } while ($nextCheck($body));
}

How do I convert this list of dictionaries to a csv file?

this is when you have one dictionary list:

    writer.writeheader()
    writer.writerow({'first_name': 'Baked', 'last_name': 'Beans'})

How to obtain the location of cacerts of the default java installation?

In MacOS Mojave, the location is:

/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_192.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/lib/security/cacerts 

If using sdkman to manage java versions, the cacerts is in

~/.sdkman/candidates/java/current/jre/lib/security

Div Height in Percentage

It doesn't take the 50% of the whole page is because the "whole page" is only how tall your contents are. Change the enclosing html and body to 100% height and it will work.

html, body{
    height: 100%;
}
div{
    height: 50%;
}

http://jsfiddle.net/DerekL/5YukJ/1/

enter image description here

^ Your document is only 20px high. 50% of 20px is 10px, and it is not what you expected.

enter image description here

^ Now if you change the height of the document to the height of the whole page (150px), 50% of 150px is 75px, then it will work.

How to convert a command-line argument to int?

The approach with istringstream can be improved in order to check that no other characters have been inserted after the expected argument:

#include <sstream>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    if (argc >= 2)
    {
        std::istringstream iss( argv[1] );
        int val;

        if ((iss >> val) && iss.eof()) // Check eofbit
        {
            // Conversion successful
        }
    }

    return 0;
}

Case insensitive std::string.find()

Also make sense to provide Boost version: This will modify original strings.

#include <boost/algorithm/string.hpp>

string str1 = "hello world!!!";
string str2 = "HELLO";
boost::algorithm::to_lower(str1)
boost::algorithm::to_lower(str2)

if (str1.find(str2) != std::string::npos)
{
    // str1 contains str2
}

or using perfect boost xpression library

#include <boost/xpressive/xpressive.hpp>
using namespace boost::xpressive;
....
std::string long_string( "very LonG string" );
std::string word("long");
smatch what;
sregex re = sregex::compile(word, boost::xpressive::icase);
if( regex_match( long_string, what, re ) )
{
    cout << word << " found!" << endl;
}

In this example you should pay attention that your search word don't have any regex special characters.

Jquery insert new row into table at a certain index

You can use .eq() and .after() like this:

$('#my_table > tbody > tr').eq(i-1).after(html);

The indexes are 0 based, so to be the 4th row, you need i-1, since .eq(3) would be the 4th row, you need to go back to the 3rd row (2) and insert .after() that.

Best C++ Code Formatter/Beautifier

AStyle can be customized in great detail for C++ and Java (and others too)

This is a source code formatting tool.


clang-format is a powerful command line tool bundled with the clang compiler which handles even the most obscure language constructs in a coherent way.

It can be integrated with Visual Studio, Emacs, Vim (and others) and can format just the selected lines (or with git/svn to format some diff).

It can be configured with a variety of options listed here.

When using config files (named .clang-format) styles can be per directory - the closest such file in parent directories shall be used for a particular file.

Styles can be inherited from a preset (say LLVM or Google) and can later override different options

It is used by Google and others and is production ready.


Also look at the project UniversalIndentGUI. You can experiment with several indenters using it: AStyle, Uncrustify, GreatCode, ... and select the best for you. Any of them can be run later from a command line.


Uncrustify has a lot of configurable options. You'll probably need Universal Indent GUI (in Konstantin's reply) as well to configure it.

Change the selected value of a drop-down list with jQuery

If we have a dropdown with a title of "Data Classification":

<select title="Data Classification">
    <option value="Top Secret">Top Secret</option>
    <option value="Secret">Secret</option>
    <option value="Confidential">Confidential</option>
</select>

We can get it into a variable:

var dataClsField = $('select[title="Data Classification"]');

Then put into another variable the value we want the dropdown to have:

var myValue = "Top Secret";  // this would have been "2" in your example

Then we can use the field we put into dataClsField, do a find for myValue and make it selected using .prop():

dataClsField.find('option[value="'+ myValue +'"]').prop('selected', 'selected');

Or, you could just use .val(), but your selector of . can only be used if it matches a class on the dropdown, and you should use quotes on the value inside the parenthesis, or just use the variable we set earlier:

dataClsField.val(myValue);

Fastest way to check if string contains only digits

Try this code:

bool isDigitsOnly(string str)
{
   try
   {
      int number = Convert.ToInt32(str);
      return true;
   }
   catch (Exception)
   {
      return false;
   }
}

Could not load file or assembly 'System.Data.SQLite'

System.Data.SQLite has a dependency on System.Data.SQLite.interop make sure both packages are the same version and are both x86.

This is an old question, but I tried all the above. I was working on a strictly x86 project, so there was not two folders /x86, /x64. But for some reason, the System.Data.SQLite was a different version to System.Data.SQLite.interop, once I pulled down matching dlls the problem was fixed.

Setting up redirect in web.config file

  1. Open web.config in the directory where the old pages reside
  2. Then add code for the old location path and new destination as follows:

    <configuration>
      <location path="services.htm">
        <system.webServer>
          <httpRedirect enabled="true" destination="http://domain.com/services" httpResponseStatus="Permanent" />
        </system.webServer>
      </location>

Put content in HttpResponseMessage object?

For a string specifically, the quickest way is to use the StringContent constructor

response.Content = new StringContent("Your response text");

There are a number of additional HttpContent class descendants for other common scenarios.

Testing javascript with Mocha - how can I use console.log to debug a test?

I had an issue with node.exe programs like test output with mocha.

In my case, I solved it by removing some default "node.exe" alias.

I'm using Git Bash for Windows(2.29.2) and some default aliases are set from /etc/profile.d/aliases.sh,

  # show me alias related to 'node'
  $ alias|grep node
  alias node='winpty node.exe'`

To remove the alias, update aliases.sh or simply do

unalias node

I don't know why winpty has this side effect on console.info buffered output but with a direct node.exe use, I've no more stdout issue.

How do I perform a JAVA callback between classes?

IMO, you should have a look at the Observer Pattern, and this is how most of the listeners work

com.sun.jdi.InvocationException occurred invoking method

The root cause is that when debugging the java debug interface will call the toString() of your class to show the class information in the pop up box, so if the toString method is not defined correctly, this may happen.

What is the difference between a var and val definition in Scala?

In simple terms:

var = variable

val = variable + final

How to add to an NSDictionary

A mutable dictionary can be changed, i.e. you can add and remove objects. An immutable is fixed once it is created.

create and add:

NSMutableDictionary *dict = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc]initWithCapacity:10];
[dict setObject:[NSNumber numberWithInt:42] forKey:@"A cool number"];

and retrieve:

int myNumber = [[dict objectForKey:@"A cool number"] intValue];

ASP.NET document.getElementById('<%=Control.ClientID%>'); returns null

Is Button1 visible? I mean, from the server side. Make sure Button1.Visible is true.

Controls that aren't Visible won't be rendered in HTML, so although they are assigned a ClientID, they don't actually exist on the client side.

How to handle an IF STATEMENT in a Mustache template?

In general, you use the # syntax:

{{#a_boolean}}
  I only show up if the boolean was true.
{{/a_boolean}}

The goal is to move as much logic as possible out of the template (which makes sense).

Python 'If not' syntax

Yes, if bar is not None is more explicit, and thus better, assuming it is indeed what you want. That's not always the case, there are subtle differences: if not bar: will execute if bar is any kind of zero or empty container, or False. Many people do use not bar where they really do mean bar is not None.

How to remove a TFS Workspace Mapping?

From VS:

  1. Open Team Explorer
  2. Click Source Control Explorer
  3. In the nav bar of the tool window there is a drop down labeled "Workspaces".
  4. Extend it and click on the "Workspaces..." option (yeah, a bit un-intuitive)
  5. The "Manage Workspaces" window comes up. Click edit and you can add / remove / edit your workspace

source control explorer

From VS on a different machine

You don't need VS to be on the same machine as the enlistment as you can edit remote enlistments! In the dialog that comes up when you press the "Workspaces..." item there is a check box stating "Show Remote Workspaces" - just tick that and you'll get a list of all your enlistments:

show remote workspaces

From the command line

Call "tf workspace" from a developer command prompt. It will bring up the "Manage Workspaces" directly!

what is the difference between OLE DB and ODBC data sources?

Both are data providers (API that your code will use to talk to a data source). Oledb which was introduced in 1998 was meant to be a replacement for ODBC (introduced in 1992)

How to calculate sum of a formula field in crystal Reports?

python's re: return True if string contains regex pattern

Here's a function that does what you want:

import re

def is_match(regex, text):
    pattern = re.compile(regex, text)
    return pattern.search(text) is not None

The regular expression search method returns an object on success and None if the pattern is not found in the string. With that in mind, we return True as long as the search gives us something back.

Examples:

>>> is_match('ba[rzd]', 'foobar')
True
>>> is_match('ba[zrd]', 'foobaz')
True
>>> is_match('ba[zrd]', 'foobad')
True
>>> is_match('ba[zrd]', 'foobam')
False

How to convert const char* to char* in C?

A const to a pointer indicates a "read-only" memory location. Whereas the ones without const are a read-write memory areas. So, you "cannot" convert a const(read-only location) to a normal(read-write) location.

The alternate is to copy the data to a different read-write location and pass this pointer to the required function. You may use strdup() to perform this action.

Unable to launch the IIS Express Web server, Failed to register URL, Access is denied

My issue turned out to be that I had SSL Enabled on the project settings. I simply disabled this because I did not require SSL for running the project locally.

In Visual Studio 2015:

  • Select the project in the Solution Explorer.
  • In the Properties window set SSL Enabled to False.
  • I was able to run the project.

In my situation I was getting an error about port 443 in use because this was the port set on the SSL URL for the project.

window.close() doesn't work - Scripts may close only the windows that were opened by it

Can I set the cookies to be used by a WKWebView?

My version of nteiss's answer. Tested on iOS 11, 12, 13. Looks like you don't have to use DispatchGroup on iOS 13 anymore.

I use non-static function includeCustomCookies on WKWebViewConfiguration, so that I can update cookies every time I create new WKWebViewConfiguration.

extension WKWebViewConfiguration {
    func includeCustomCookies(cookies: [HTTPCookie], completion: @escaping  () -> Void) {
        let dataStore = WKWebsiteDataStore.nonPersistent()
        let waitGroup = DispatchGroup()

        for cookie in cookies {
            waitGroup.enter()
            dataStore.httpCookieStore.setCookie(cookie) { waitGroup.leave() }
        }

        waitGroup.notify(queue: DispatchQueue.main) {
            self.websiteDataStore = dataStore
            completion()
        }
    }
}

Then I use it like this:

let customUserAgent: String = "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_14_5) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/12.1.1 Safari/605.1.15"

let customCookies: [HTTPCookie] = {
    let cookie1 = HTTPCookie(properties: [
        .domain: "yourdomain.com",
        .path: "/",
        .name: "auth_token",
        .value: APIManager.authToken
    ])!

    let cookie2 = HTTPCookie(properties: [
        .domain: "yourdomain.com",
        .path: "/",
        .name: "i18next",
        .value: "ru"
    ])!

    return [cookie1, cookie2]
}()

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    activityIndicatorView.startAnimating()

    let webConfiguration = WKWebViewConfiguration()
    webConfiguration.includeCustomCookies(cookies: customCookies, completion: { [weak self] in
        guard let strongSelf = self else { return }
        strongSelf.webView = WKWebView(frame: strongSelf.view.bounds, configuration: webConfiguration)
        strongSelf.webView.customUserAgent = strongSelf.customUserAgent
        strongSelf.webView.navigationDelegate = strongSelf
        strongSelf.webView.autoresizingMask = [.flexibleWidth, .flexibleHeight]
        strongSelf.view.addSubview(strongSelf.webView)
        strongSelf.view.bringSubviewToFront(strongSelf.activityIndicatorView)
        strongSelf.webView.load(strongSelf.request)
    })
}

How do browser cookie domains work?

The previous answers are a little outdated.

RFC 6265 was published in 2011, based on the browser consensus at that time. Since then, there has been some complication with public suffix domains. I've written an article explaining the current situation - http://bayou.io/draft/cookie.domain.html

To summarize, rules to follow regarding cookie domain:

  • The origin domain of a cookie is the domain of the originating request.

  • If the origin domain is an IP, the cookie's domain attribute must not be set.

  • If a cookie's domain attribute is not set, the cookie is only applicable to its origin domain.

  • If a cookie's domain attribute is set,

    • the cookie is applicable to that domain and all its subdomains;
    • the cookie's domain must be the same as, or a parent of, the origin domain
    • the cookie's domain must not be a TLD, a public suffix, or a parent of a public suffix.

It can be derived that a cookie is always applicable to its origin domain.

The cookie domain should not have a leading dot, as in .foo.com - simply use foo.com

As an example,

  • x.y.z.com can set a cookie domain to itself or parents - x.y.z.com, y.z.com, z.com. But not com, which is a public suffix.
  • a cookie with domain=y.z.com is applicable to y.z.com, x.y.z.com, a.x.y.z.com etc.

Examples of public suffixes - com, edu, uk, co.uk, blogspot.com, compute.amazonaws.com

programming a servo thru a barometer

You could define a mapping of air pressure to servo angle, for example:

def calc_angle(pressure, min_p=1000, max_p=1200):     return 360 * ((pressure - min_p) / float(max_p - min_p))  angle = calc_angle(pressure) 

This will linearly convert pressure values between min_p and max_p to angles between 0 and 360 (you could include min_a and max_a to constrain the angle, too).

To pick a data structure, I wouldn't use a list but you could look up values in a dictionary:

d = {1000:0, 1001: 1.8, ...}  angle = d[pressure] 

but this would be rather time-consuming to type out!

String contains - ignore case

An optimized Imran Tariq's version

Pattern.compile(strptrn, Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE + Pattern.LITERAL).matcher(str1).find();

Pattern.quote(strptrn) always returns "\Q" + s + "\E" even if there is nothing to quote, concatination spoils performance.

Why would a JavaScript variable start with a dollar sign?

Since _ at the beginning of a variable name is often used to indicate a private variable (or at least one intended to remain private), I find $ convenient for adding in front of my own brief aliases to generic code libraries.

For example, when using jQuery, I prefer to use the variable $J (instead of just $) and use $P when using php.js, etc.

The prefix makes it visually distinct from other variables such as my own static variables, cluing me into the fact that the code is part of some library or other, and is less likely to conflict or confuse others once they know the convention.

It also doesn't clutter the code (or require extra typing) as does a fully specified name repeated for each library call.

I like to think of it as being similar to what modifier keys do for expanding the possibilities of single keys.

But this is just my own convention.

print(p)

Add Keypair to existing EC2 instance

You can't apply a keypair to a running instance. You can only use the new keypair to launch a new instance.

For recovery, if it's an EBS boot AMI, you can stop it, make a snapshot of the volume. Create a new volume based on it. And be able to use it back to start the old instance, create a new image, or recover data.

Though data at ephemeral storage will be lost.


Due to the popularity of this question and answer, I wanted to capture the information in the link that Rodney posted on his comment.

Credit goes to Eric Hammond for this information.

Fixing Files on the Root EBS Volume of an EC2 Instance

You can examine and edit files on the root EBS volume on an EC2 instance even if you are in what you considered a disastrous situation like:

  • You lost your ssh key or forgot your password
  • You made a mistake editing the /etc/sudoers file and can no longer gain root access with sudo to fix it
  • Your long running instance is hung for some reason, cannot be contacted, and fails to boot properly
  • You need to recover files off of the instance but cannot get to it

On a physical computer sitting at your desk, you could simply boot the system with a CD or USB stick, mount the hard drive, check out and fix the files, then reboot the computer to be back in business.

A remote EC2 instance, however, seems distant and inaccessible when you are in one of these situations. Fortunately, AWS provides us with the power and flexibility to be able to recover a system like this, provided that we are running EBS boot instances and not instance-store.

The approach on EC2 is somewhat similar to the physical solution, but we’re going to move and mount the faulty “hard drive” (root EBS volume) to a different instance, fix it, then move it back.

In some situations, it might simply be easier to start a new EC2 instance and throw away the bad one, but if you really want to fix your files, here is the approach that has worked for many:

Setup

Identify the original instance (A) and volume that contains the broken root EBS volume with the files you want to view and edit.

instance_a=i-XXXXXXXX

volume=$(ec2-describe-instances $instance_a |
  egrep '^BLOCKDEVICE./dev/sda1' | cut -f3)

Identify the second EC2 instance (B) that you will use to fix the files on the original EBS volume. This instance must be running in the same availability zone as instance A so that it can have the EBS volume attached to it. If you don’t have an instance already running, start a temporary one.

instance_b=i-YYYYYYYY

Stop the broken instance A (waiting for it to come to a complete stop), detach the root EBS volume from the instance (waiting for it to be detached), then attach the volume to instance B on an unused device.

ec2-stop-instances $instance_a
ec2-detach-volume $volume
ec2-attach-volume --instance $instance_b --device /dev/sdj $volume

ssh to instance B and mount the volume so that you can access its file system.

ssh ...instance b...

sudo mkdir -p 000 /vol-a
sudo mount /dev/sdj /vol-a

Fix It

At this point your entire root file system from instance A is available for viewing and editing under /vol-a on instance B. For example, you may want to:

  • Put the correct ssh keys in /vol-a/home/ubuntu/.ssh/authorized_keys
  • Edit and fix /vol-a/etc/sudoers
  • Look for error messages in /vol-a/var/log/syslog
  • Copy important files out of /vol-a/…

Note: The uids on the two instances may not be identical, so take care if you are creating, editing, or copying files that belong to non-root users. For example, your mysql user on instance A may have the same UID as your postfix user on instance B which could cause problems if you chown files with one name and then move the volume back to A.

Wrap Up

After you are done and you are happy with the files under /vol-a, unmount the file system (still on instance-B):

sudo umount /vol-a
sudo rmdir /vol-a

Now, back on your system with ec2-api-tools, continue moving the EBS volume back to it’s home on the original instance A and start the instance again:

ec2-detach-volume $volume
ec2-attach-volume --instance $instance_a --device /dev/sda1 $volume
ec2-start-instances $instance_a

Hopefully, you fixed the problem, instance A comes up just fine, and you can accomplish what you originally set out to do. If not, you may need to continue repeating these steps until you have it working.

Note: If you had an Elastic IP address assigned to instance A when you stopped it, you’ll need to reassociate it after starting it up again.

Remember! If your instance B was temporarily started just for this process, don’t forget to terminate it now.

Bootstrap 3 Navbar Collapse

The nabvar will collapse on small devices. The point of collapsing is defined by @grid-float-breakpoint in variables. By default this will by before 768px. For screens below the 768 pixels screen width, the navbar will look like:

enter image description here

It's possible to change the @grid-float-breakpoint in variables.less and recompile Bootstrap. When doing this you also will have to change @screen-xs-max in navbar.less. You will have to set this value to your new @grid-float-breakpoint -1. See also: https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/pull/10465. This is needed to change navbar forms and dropdowns at the @grid-float-breakpoint to their mobile version too.

How to convert text to binary code in JavaScript?

Provided you're working in node or a browser with BigInt support, this version cuts costs by saving the expensive string construction for the very end:

const zero = 0n
const shift = 8n

function asciiToBinary (str) {
  const len = str.length
  let n = zero
  for (let i = 0; i < len; i++) {
    n = (n << shift) + BigInt(str.charCodeAt(i))
  }
  return n.toString(2).padStart(len * 8, 0)
}

It's about twice as fast as the other solutions mentioned here including this simple es6+ implementation:

const toBinary = s => [...s]
  .map(x => x
    .codePointAt()
    .toString(2)
    .padStart(8,0)
  )
  .join('')

If you need to handle unicode characters, here's this guy:

const zero = 0n
const shift = 8n
const bigShift = 16n
const byte = 255n

function unicodeToBinary (str) {
  const len = str.length
  let n = zero
  for (let i = 0; i < len; i++) {
    const bits = BigInt(str.codePointAt(i))
    n = (n << (bits > byte ? bigShift : shift)) + bits
  }
  const bin = n.toString(2)
  return bin.padStart(8 * Math.ceil(bin.length / 8), 0)
}

What is the list of supported languages/locales on Android?

I found a list, which might be the full list of supported locales by a given Android version (API level): go to Android-sdk\platforms\android-[XX]\data\res\values\ where XX means the API level, and open locale_config.xml with any text editor. It's human readable and can be easily processed if needed.

How to include vars file in a vars file with ansible?

I know it's an old post but I had the same issue today, what I did is simple : changing my script that send my playbook from my local host to the server, before sending it with maven command, I did this :

cat common_vars.yml > vars.yml
cat snapshot_vars.yml >> vars.yml
# or 
#cat release_vars.yml >> vars.yml
mvn ....

Call async/await functions in parallel

    // A generic test function that can be configured 
    // with an arbitrary delay and to either resolve or reject
    const test = (delay, resolveSuccessfully) => new Promise((resolve, reject) => setTimeout(() => {
        console.log(`Done ${ delay }`);
        resolveSuccessfully ? resolve(`Resolved ${ delay }`) : reject(`Reject ${ delay }`)
    }, delay));

    // Our async handler function
    const handler = async () => {
        // Promise 1 runs first, but resolves last
        const p1 = test(10000, true);
        // Promise 2 run second, and also resolves
        const p2 = test(5000, true);
        // Promise 3 runs last, but completes first (with a rejection) 
        // Note the catch to trap the error immediately
        const p3 = test(1000, false).catch(e => console.log(e));
        // Await all in parallel
        const r = await Promise.all([p1, p2, p3]);
        // Display the results
        console.log(r);
    };

    // Run the handler
    handler();
    /*
    Done 1000
    Reject 1000
    Done 5000
    Done 10000
    */

Whilst setting p1, p2 and p3 is not strictly running them in parallel, they do not hold up any execution and you can trap contextual errors with a catch.

Exception thrown in catch and finally clause

I think you just have to walk the finally blocks:

  1. Print "1".
  2. finally in q print "3".
  3. finally in main print "2".

How to limit the number of dropzone.js files uploaded?

Alternative solution that worked really well for me:

init: function() {
    this.on("addedfile", function(event) {
        while (this.files.length > this.options.maxFiles) {
            this.removeFile(this.files[0]);
        }
    });
}

How can I get zoom functionality for images?

UPDATE

I've just given TouchImageView a new update. It now includes Double Tap Zoom and Fling in addition to Panning and Pinch Zoom. The code below is very dated. You can check out the github project to get the latest code.

USAGE

Place TouchImageView.java in your project. It can then be used the same as ImageView. Example:

TouchImageView img = (TouchImageView) findViewById(R.id.img);

If you are using TouchImageView in xml, then you must provide the full package name, because it is a custom view. Example:

<com.example.touch.TouchImageView
    android:id="@+id/img”
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" />

Note: I've removed my prior answer, which included some very old code and now link straight to the most updated code on github.

ViewPager

If you are interested in putting TouchImageView in a ViewPager, refer to this answer.

Why does the JFrame setSize() method not set the size correctly?

So I would advise you to use JPanel embedded in a JFrame and you draw on that JPanel. This would minimize your problem.

JFrame jf = new JFrame();
JPanel jp = new JPanel();
jp.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(400,800));// changed it to preferredSize, Thanks!
jf.getContentPane().add( jp );// adding to content pane will work here. Please read the comment bellow.
jf.pack();

I am reading this from Javadoc

The JFrame class is slightly incompatible with Frame. Like all other JFC/Swing top-level containers, a JFrame contains a JRootPane as its only child. The content pane provided by the root pane should, as a rule, contain all the non-menu components displayed by the JFrame. This is different from the AWT Frame case. For example, to add a child to an AWT frame you'd write:

frame.add(child);

However using JFrame you need to add the child to the JFrame's content pane instead:

frame.getContentPane().add(child);

How do I collapse a table row in Bootstrap?

You are using collapse on the div inside of your table row (tr). So when you collapse the div, the row is still there. You need to change it to where your id and class are on the tr instead of the div.

Change this:

<tr><td><div class="collapse out" id="collapseme">Should be collapsed</div></td></tr>

to this:

<tr class="collapse out" id="collapseme"><td><div>Should be collapsed</div></td></tr>

EDIT: If you are unable to upgrade to 3.0.0, I found a JQuery workaround in 2.3.2:

Remove your data-toggle and data-target and add this JQuery to your button.

$(".btn").click(function() {
    if($("#collapseme").hasClass("out")) {
        $("#collapseme").addClass("in");
        $("#collapseme").removeClass("out");
    } else {
        $("#collapseme").addClass("out");
        $("#collapseme").removeClass("in");
    }
});

Convert integer to hexadecimal and back again

int valInt = 12;
Console.WriteLine(valInt.ToString("X"));  // C  ~ possibly single-digit output 
Console.WriteLine(valInt.ToString("X2")); // 0C ~ always double-digit output

How can I check if a scrollbar is visible?

A No Framework JavaScript Approach, checks for both vertical and horizontal

 /*
 * hasScrollBars
 * 
 * Checks to see if an element has scrollbars
 * 
 * @returns {object}
 */
Element.prototype.hasScrollBars = function() {
    return {"vertical": this.scrollHeight > this.style.height, "horizontal": this.scrollWidth > this.style.width};
}

Use it like this

if(document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0].hasScrollBars().vertical){
            alert("vertical");
}

        if(document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0].hasScrollBars().horizontal){
            alert("horizontal");
}

Converting float to char*

typedef union{
    float a;
    char b[4];
} my_union_t;

You can access to float data value byte by byte and send it through 8-bit output buffer (e.g. USART) without casting.

Test for array of string type in TypeScript

You cannot test for string[] in the general case but you can test for Array quite easily the same as in JavaScript https://stackoverflow.com/a/767492/390330

If you specifically want for string array you can do something like:

if (Array.isArray(value)) {
   var somethingIsNotString = false;
   value.forEach(function(item){
      if(typeof item !== 'string'){
         somethingIsNotString = true;
      }
   })
   if(!somethingIsNotString && value.length > 0){
      console.log('string[]!');
   }
}

Examples of good gotos in C or C++

The classic need for GOTO in C is as follows

final:

There is no straightforward way to break out of nested loops without a goto.

*ngIf else if in template

To avoid nesting and ngSwitch, there is also this possibility, which leverages the way logical operators work in Javascript:

  <ng-template #first>First</ng-template>
  <ng-template #second>Second</ng-template>
  <ng-template #third>Third</ng-template>

What is the difference between char s[] and char *s?

In the light of comments here it should be obvious that : char * s = "hello" ; Is a bad idea, and should be used in very narrow scope.

This might be a good opportunity to point out that "const correctness" is a "good thing". Whenever and wherever You can, use the "const" keyword to protect your code, from "relaxed" callers or programmers, which are usually most "relaxed" when pointers come into play.

Enough melodrama, here is what one can achieve when adorning pointers with "const". (Note: One has to read pointer declarations right-to-left.) Here are the 3 different ways to protect yourself when playing with pointers :

const DBJ* p means "p points to a DBJ that is const" 

— that is, the DBJ object can't be changed via p.

DBJ* const p means "p is a const pointer to a DBJ" 

— that is, you can change the DBJ object via p, but you can't change the pointer p itself.

const DBJ* const p means "p is a const pointer to a const DBJ" 

— that is, you can't change the pointer p itself, nor can you change the DBJ object via p.

The errors related to attempted const-ant mutations are caught at compile time. There is no runtime space or speed penalty for const.

(Assumption is you are using C++ compiler, of course ?)

How to list all tags along with the full message in git?

git tag -n99

Short and sweet. This will list up to 99 lines from each tag annotation/commit message. Here is a link to the official documentation for git tag.

I now think the limitation of only showing up to 99 lines per tag is actually a good thing as most of the time, if there were really more than 99 lines for a single tag, you wouldn't really want to see all the rest of the lines would you? If you did want to see more than 99 lines per tag, you could always increase this to a larger number.

I mean, I guess there could be a specific situation or reason to want to see massive tag messages, but at what point do you not want to see the whole message? When it has more than 999 lines? 10,000? 1,000,000? My point is, it typically makes sense to have a cap on how many lines you would see, and this number allows you to set that.

Since I am making an argument for what you generally want to see when looking at your tags, it probably makes sense to set something like this as an alias (from Iulian Onofrei's comment below):

git config --global alias.tags 'tag -n99'

I mean, you don't really want to have to type in git tag -n99 every time you just want to see your tags do you? Once that alias is configured, whenever you want to see your tags, you would just type git tags into your terminal. Personally, I prefer to take things a step further than this and create even more abbreviated bash aliases for all my commonly used commands. For that purpose, you could add something like this to your .bashrc file (works on Linux and similar environments):

alias gtag='git tag -n99'

Then whenever you want to see your tags, you just type gtag. Another advantage of going down the alias path (either git aliases or bash aliases or whatever) is you now have a spot already in place where you can add further customizations to how you personally, generally want to have your tags shown to you (like sorting them in certain ways as in my comment below, etc). Once you get over the hurtle of creating your first alias, you will now realize how easy it is to create more of them for other things you like to work in a customized way, like git log, but let's save that one for a different question/answer.

UICollectionView Self Sizing Cells with Auto Layout

The solution comprises 3 simple steps:

  1. Enabling dynamic cell sizing

flowLayout.estimatedItemSize = UICollectionViewFlowLayout.automaticSize

  1. Set the containerView.widthAnchor.constraint from collectionView(:cellForItemAt:)to limit the width of contentView to width of collectionView.
class ViewController: UIViewController, UICollectionViewDataSource {
    ...

    func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, cellForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UICollectionViewCell {
        let cell = collectionView.dequeueReusableCell(withReuseIdentifier: "cellId", for: indexPath) as! MultiLineCell
        cell.textView.text = dummyTextMessages[indexPath.row]
        cell.maxWidth = collectionView.frame.width
        return cell
    }

    ...
}

class MultiLineCell: UICollectionViewCell{
    ....

    var maxWidth: CGFloat? {
        didSet {
            guard let maxWidth = maxWidth else {
                return
            }
            containerViewWidthAnchor.constant = maxWidth
            containerViewWidthAnchor.isActive = true
        }
    }

    ....
}

Since you want to enable self-sizing of UITextView, it has an additional step to;

3. Calculate and set the heightAnchor.constant of UITextView.

So, whenever the width of contentView is set we'll adjust height of UITextView along in didSet of maxWidth.

Inside UICollectionViewCell:

var maxWidth: CGFloat? {
    didSet {
        guard let maxWidth = maxWidth else {
            return
        }
        containerViewWidthAnchor.constant = maxWidth
        containerViewWidthAnchor.isActive = true
        
        let sizeToFitIn = CGSize(width: maxWidth, height: CGFloat(MAXFLOAT))
        let newSize = self.textView.sizeThatFits(sizeToFitIn)
        self.textViewHeightContraint.constant = newSize.height
    }
}

These steps will get you the desired result.

add allow_url_fopen to my php.ini using .htaccess

Try this, but I don't think it will work because you're not supposed to be able to change this

Put this line in an htaccess file in the directory you want the setting to be enabled:

php_value allow_url_fopen On

Note that this setting will only apply to PHP file's in the same directory as the htaccess file.

As an alternative to using url_fopen, try using curl.

How can I detect the encoding/codepage of a text file

If you're looking to detect non-UTF encodings (i.e. no BOM), you're basically down to heuristics and statistical analysis of the text. You might want to take a look at the Mozilla paper on universal charset detection (same link, with better formatting via Wayback Machine).

Can dplyr package be used for conditional mutating?

Use ifelse

df %>%
  mutate(g = ifelse(a == 2 | a == 5 | a == 7 | (a == 1 & b == 4), 2,
               ifelse(a == 0 | a == 1 | a == 4 | a == 3 |  c == 4, 3, NA)))

Added - if_else: Note that in dplyr 0.5 there is an if_else function defined so an alternative would be to replace ifelse with if_else; however, note that since if_else is stricter than ifelse (both legs of the condition must have the same type) so the NA in that case would have to be replaced with NA_real_ .

df %>%
  mutate(g = if_else(a == 2 | a == 5 | a == 7 | (a == 1 & b == 4), 2,
               if_else(a == 0 | a == 1 | a == 4 | a == 3 |  c == 4, 3, NA_real_)))

Added - case_when Since this question was posted dplyr has added case_when so another alternative would be:

df %>% mutate(g = case_when(a == 2 | a == 5 | a == 7 | (a == 1 & b == 4) ~ 2,
                            a == 0 | a == 1 | a == 4 | a == 3 |  c == 4 ~ 3,
                            TRUE ~ NA_real_))

Added - arithmetic/na_if If the values are numeric and the conditions (except for the default value of NA at the end) are mutually exclusive, as is the case in the question, then we can use an arithmetic expression such that each term is multiplied by the desired result using na_if at the end to replace 0 with NA.

df %>%
  mutate(g = 2 * (a == 2 | a == 5 | a == 7 | (a == 1 & b == 4)) +
             3 * (a == 0 | a == 1 | a == 4 | a == 3 |  c == 4),
         g = na_if(g, 0))

Create file path from variables

You can also use an object-oriented path with pathlib (available as a standard library as of Python 3.4):

from pathlib import Path

start_path = Path('/my/root/directory')
final_path = start_path / 'in' / 'here'

Forward request headers from nginx proxy server

If you want to pass the variable to your proxy backend, you have to set it with the proxy module.

location / {
    proxy_pass                      http://example.com;
    proxy_set_header                Host example.com;
    proxy_set_header                HTTP_Country-Code $geoip_country_code;
    proxy_pass_request_headers      on;
}

And now it's passed to the proxy backend.

jQuery UI " $("#datepicker").datepicker is not a function"

If you think that there is a conflict you can use jQuery.noConflict() in your code. Details are in the docs.

REFERENCING MAGIC - SHORTCUTS FOR JQUERY

If you don't like typing the full "jQuery" all the time, there are some alternative shortcuts:

Reassign jQuery to another shortcut var $j = jQuery; (This might be the best approach if you wish to use different libraries) Use the following technique, which allows you to use $ inside of a block of code without permanently overwriting $:

(function($) { /* some code that uses $ */ })(jQuery)

Note: If you use this technique, you will not be able to use Prototype methods inside this capsuled function that expect $ to be Prototype's $, so you're making a choice to use only jQuery in that block. Use the argument to the DOM ready event:

jQuery(function($) { /*some code that uses $ */ });

Note: Again, inside that block you can't use Prototype methods

Thats from the end of the docs and might be useful to you

What is the difference between square brackets and parentheses in a regex?

The first 2 examples act very differently if you are REPLACING them by something. If you match on this:

str = str.replace(/^(7|8|9)/ig,''); 

you would replace 7 or 8 or 9 by the empty string.

If you match on this

str = str.replace(/^[7|8|9]/ig,''); 

you will replace 7 or 8 or 9 OR THE VERTICAL BAR!!!! by the empty string.

I just found this out the hard way.

Correct set of dependencies for using Jackson mapper

Apart from fixing the imports, do a fresh maven clean compile -U. Note the -U option, that brings in new dependencies which sometimes the editor has hard time with. Let the compilation fail due to un-imported classes, but at least you have an option to import them after the maven command.

Just doing Maven->Reimport from Intellij did not work for me.

How do I deal with "signed/unsigned mismatch" warnings (C4018)?

I would just do

int pnSize = primeNumber.size();
for (int i = 0; i < pnSize; i++)
    cout << primeNumber[i] << ' ';

PowerShell: Run command from script's directory

Do you mean you want the script's own path so you can reference a file next to the script? Try this:

$scriptpath = $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path
$dir = Split-Path $scriptpath
Write-host "My directory is $dir"

You can get a lot of info from $MyInvocation and its properties.

If you want to reference a file in the current working directory, you can use Resolve-Path or Get-ChildItem:

$filepath = Resolve-Path "somefile.txt"

EDIT (based on comment from OP):

# temporarily change to the correct folder
Push-Location $folder

# do stuff, call ant, etc

# now back to previous directory
Pop-Location

There's probably other ways of achieving something similar using Invoke-Command as well.

Click a button programmatically - JS

Though this question is rather old, here's a answer :)

What you are asking for can be achieved by using jQuery's .click() event method and .on() event method

So this could be the code:

// Set the global variables
var userImage = $("#img-giLkojRpuK");
var hangoutButton = $("#hangout-giLkojRpuK");

$(document).ready(function() {
    // When the document is ready/loaded, execute function

    // Hide hangoutButton
    hangoutButton.hide();

    // Assign "click"-event-method to userImage
    userImage.on("click", function() {
        console.log("in onclick");
        hangoutButton.click();
    });
});

How to specify more spaces for the delimiter using cut?

Actually awk is exactly the tool you should be looking into:

ps axu | grep '[j]boss' | awk '{print $5}'

or you can ditch the grep altogether since awk knows about regular expressions:

ps axu | awk '/[j]boss/ {print $5}'

But if, for some bizarre reason, you really can't use awk, there are other simpler things you can do, like collapse all whitespace to a single space first:

ps axu | grep '[j]boss' | sed 's/\s\s*/ /g' | cut -d' ' -f5

That grep trick, by the way, is a neat way to only get the jboss processes and not the grep jboss one (ditto for the awk variant as well).

The grep process will have a literal grep [j]boss in its process command so will not be caught by the grep itself, which is looking for the character class [j] followed by boss.

This is a nifty way to avoid the | grep xyz | grep -v grep paradigm that some people use.

How to prevent Google Colab from disconnecting?

Edit: Apparently the solution is very easy, and doesn't need any JavaScript. Just create a new cell at the bottom having the following line:

How to generate and manually insert a uniqueidentifier in sql server?

Kindly check Column ApplicationId datatype in Table aspnet_Users , ApplicationId column datatype should be uniqueidentifier .

*Your parameter order is passed wrongly , Parameter @id should be passed as first argument, but in your script it is placed in second argument..*

So error is raised..

Please refere sample script:

DECLARE @id uniqueidentifier
SET @id = NEWID()
Create Table #temp1(AppId uniqueidentifier)

insert into #temp1 values(@id)

Select * from #temp1

Drop Table #temp1

String.strip() in Python

In this case, you might get some differences. Consider a line like:

"foo\tbar "

In this case, if you strip, then you'll get {"foo":"bar"} as the dictionary entry. If you don't strip, you'll get {"foo":"bar "} (note the extra space at the end)

Note that if you use line.split() instead of line.split('\t'), you'll split on every whitespace character and the "striping" will be done during splitting automatically. In other words:

line.strip().split()

is always identical to:

line.split()

but:

line.strip().split(delimiter)

Is not necessarily equivalent to:

line.split(delimiter)

EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION (code=EXC_I386_INVOP, subcode=0x0) on dispatch_semaphore_dispose

I landed here because of an XCTestCase, in which I'd disabled most of the tests by prefixing them with 'no_' as in no_testBackgroundAdding. Once I noticed that most of the answers had something to do with locks and threading, I realized the test contained a few instances of XCTestExpectation with corresponding waitForExpectations. They were all in the disabled tests, but apparently Xcode was still evaluating them at some level.

In the end I found an XCTestExpectation that was defined as @property but lacked the @synthesize. Once I added the synthesize directive, the EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION disappeared.

BAT file to map to network drive without running as admin

I tried to create a mapped network driver via 'net use' with admin privilege but failed, it does not show. And if I add it through UI, it disappeared after reboot, now I made that through powershell. So, I think you can run powershell scripts from a .bat file, and the script is

New-PSDrive -Name "P" -PSProvider "FileSystem" -Root "\\Server01\Public"

add -persist at the end, you will create a persisted mapped network drive

New-PSDrive -Name "P" -PSProvider "FileSystem" -Root "\\Server01\Scripts" -Persist

for more details, refer New-PSDrive - Microsoft Docs

What is this Javascript "require"?

Necromancing.
IMHO, the existing answers leave much to be desired.

It's very simple:
Require is simply a (non-standard) function defined at global scope.
(window in browser, global in NodeJS).

Now, as such, to answer the question "what is require", we "simply" need to know what this function does.
This is perhaps best explained with code.

Here's a simple implementation by Michele Nasti, the code you can find on his github page.

Basically, let's call our minimalisc require function myRequire:

function myRequire(name) 
{
    console.log(`Evaluating file ${name}`);
    if (!(name in myRequire.cache)) {
        console.log(`${name} is not in cache; reading from disk`);
        let code = fs.readFileSync(name, 'utf8');
        let module = { exports: {} };
        myRequire.cache[name] = module;
        let wrapper = Function("require, exports, module", code);
        wrapper(myRequire, module.exports, module);
    }
    console.log(`${name} is in cache. Returning it...`);
    return myRequire.cache[name].exports;
}
myRequire.cache = Object.create(null);
window.require = myRequire;
const stuff = window.require('./main.js');
console.log(stuff);

Now you notice, the object "fs" is used here.
For simplicity's sake, Michele just imported the NodeJS fs module:

const fs = require('fs');

Which wouldn't be necessary.
So in the browser, you could make a simple implementation of require with a SYNCHRONOUS XmlHttpRequest:

const fs = {
    file: `
    // module.exports = \"Hello World\";
        
    module.exports = function(){ return 5*3;};
    
    `
    , getFile(fileName: string, encoding: string): string
    {
        // https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/XMLHttpRequest/Synchronous_and_Asynchronous_Requests
        let client = new XMLHttpRequest();
        // client.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/plain;charset=UTF-8");

        // open(method, url, async)
        client.open("GET", fileName, false);
        client.send();
        if (client.status === 200)
            return client.responseText;

        return null;
    }


    , readFileSync: function (fileName: string, encoding: string): string
    {
        // this.getFile(fileName, encoding);
        return this.file; // Example, getFile would fetch this file 
    }
};

Basically, what require thus does, is download a JavaScript-file, eval it in an anonymous namespace (aka Function), with the global parameters "require", "exports" and "module", and return the exports, meaning an object's public functions and properties.

Note that this evaluation is recursive: you require files, which themselfs can require files.

This way, all "global" variables used in your module are variables in the require-wrapper-function namespace, and don't pollute the global scope with unwanted variables.

Also, this way, you can reuse code without depending on namespaces, so you get "modularity" in JavaScript. "modularity" in quotes, because this is not exactly true, though, because you can still write window.bla, and hence still pollute the global scope... Also, this establishes a separation between private and public functions, the public functions being the exports.

Now instead of saying

module.exports = function(){ return 5*3;};

You can also say:

function privateSomething()
{
    return 42:
}


function privateSomething2()
{
    return 21:
}


module.exports = {
      getRandomNumber: privateSomething
     ,getHalfRandomNumber: privateSomething2
};

and return an object.

Also, because your modules get evaluated in a function with parameters "require", "exports" and "module", your modules can use the undeclared variables "require", "exports" and "module", which might be startling at first. The require parameter there is of course a ByVal pointer to the require function saved into a variable.
Cool, right ?
Seen this way, require looses its magic, and becomes simple.
Now, the real require-function will do a few more checks and quirks, of course, but this is the essence of what that boils down to.

Also, in 2020, you should use the ECMA implementations instead of require:

import defaultExport from "module-name";
import * as name from "module-name";
import { export1 } from "module-name";
import { export1 as alias1 } from "module-name";
import { export1 , export2 } from "module-name";
import { foo , bar } from "module-name/path/to/specific/un-exported/file";
import { export1 , export2 as alias2 , [...] } from "module-name";
import defaultExport, { export1 [ , [...] ] } from "module-name";
import defaultExport, * as name from "module-name";
import "module-name";

And if you need a dynamic non-static import (e.g. load a polyfill based on browser-type), there is the ECMA-import function/keyword:

var promise = import("module-name");

note that import is not synchronous like require.
Instead, import is a promise, so

var something = require("something");

becomes

var something = await import("something");

because import returns a promise (asynchronous).

So basically, unlike require, import replaces fs.readFileSync with fs.readFileAsync.

async readFileAsync(fileName, encoding) 
{
    const textDecoder = new TextDecoder(encoding);
    // textDecoder.ignoreBOM = true;
    const response = await fetch(fileName);
    console.log(response.ok);
    console.log(response.status);
    console.log(response.statusText);
    // let json = await response.json();
    // let txt = await response.text();
    // let blo:Blob = response.blob();
    // let ab:ArrayBuffer = await response.arrayBuffer();
    // let fd = await response.formData()
    // Read file almost by line
    // https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/ReadableStreamDefaultReader/read#Example_2_-_handling_text_line_by_line
    let buffer = await response.arrayBuffer();
    let file = textDecoder.decode(buffer);
    return file;
} // End Function readFileAsync

This of course requires the import-function to be async as well.

"use strict";
async function myRequireAsync(name) {
    console.log(`Evaluating file ${name}`);
    if (!(name in myRequireAsync.cache)) {
        console.log(`${name} is not in cache; reading from disk`);
        let code = await fs.readFileAsync(name, 'utf8');
        let module = { exports: {} };
        myRequireAsync.cache[name] = module;
        let wrapper = Function("asyncRequire, exports, module", code);
        await wrapper(myRequireAsync, module.exports, module);
    }
    console.log(`${name} is in cache. Returning it...`);
    return myRequireAsync.cache[name].exports;
}
myRequireAsync.cache = Object.create(null);
window.asyncRequire = myRequireAsync;
async () => {
    const asyncStuff = await window.asyncRequire('./main.js');
    console.log(asyncStuff);
};

Even better, right ?
Well yea, except that there is no ECMA-way to dynamically import synchronously (without promise).

Now, to understand the repercussions, you absolutely might want to read up on promises/async-await here, if you don't know what that is.

But very simply put, if a function returns a promise, it can be "awaited":

function sleep (fn, par) 
{
  return new Promise((resolve) => {
    // wait 3s before calling fn(par)
    setTimeout(() => resolve(fn(par)), 3000)
  })
}


var fileList = await sleep(listFiles, nextPageToken)

Which is nice way to make asynchronous code look synchronous.
Note that if you want to use async await in a function, that function must be declared async.

async function doSomethingAsync()
{
    var fileList = await sleep(listFiles, nextPageToken)
}

And also please note that in JavaScript, there is no way to call an async function (blockingly) from a synchronous one (the ones you know). So if you want to use await (aka ECMA-import), all your code needs to be async, which most likely is a problem, if everything isn't already async...

An example of where this simplified implementation of require fails, is when you require a file that is not valid JavaScript, e.g. when you require css, html, txt, svg and images or other binary files.
And it's easy to see why:
If you e.g. put HTML into a JavaScript function body, you of course rightfully get

SyntaxError: Unexpected token '<'

because of Function("bla", "<doctype...")

Now, if you wanted to extend this to for example include non-modules, you could just check the downloaded file-contents with for code.indexOf("module.exports") == -1, and then e.g. eval("jquery content") instead of Func (which works fine as long as you're in the browser). Since downloads with Fetch/XmlHttpRequests are subject to the same-origin-policy, and integrity is ensured by SSL/TLS, the use of eval here is rather harmless, provided you checked the JS files before you added them to your site, but that much should be standard-operating-procedure.

Note that there are several implementations of require-like functionality:

IIS7 Permissions Overview - ApplicationPoolIdentity

ApplicationPoolIdentity is actually the best practice to use in IIS7+. It is a dynamically created, unprivileged account. To add file system security for a particular application pool see IIS.net's "Application Pool Identities". The quick version:

If the application pool is named "DefaultAppPool" (just replace this text below if it is named differently)

  1. Open Windows Explorer
  2. Select a file or directory.
  3. Right click the file and select "Properties"
  4. Select the "Security" tab
  5. Click the "Edit" and then "Add" button
  6. Click the "Locations" button and make sure you select the local machine. (Not the Windows domain if the server belongs to one.)
  7. Enter "IIS AppPool\DefaultAppPool" in the "Enter the object names to select:" text box. (Don't forget to change "DefaultAppPool" here to whatever you named your application pool.)
  8. Click the "Check Names" button and click "OK".

Is there a label/goto in Python?

A working version has been made: http://entrian.com/goto/.

Note: It was offered as an April Fool's joke. (working though)

# Example 1: Breaking out from a deeply nested loop:
from goto import goto, label

for i in range(1, 10):
    for j in range(1, 20):
        for k in range(1, 30):
            print i, j, k
            if k == 3:
                goto .end
label .end
print "Finished\n"

Needless to say. Yes its funny, but DONT use it.

Add a duration to a moment (moment.js)

I think you missed a key point in the documentation for .add()

Mutates the original moment by adding time.

You appear to be treating it as a function that returns the immutable result. Easy mistake to make. :)

If you use the return value, it is the same actual object as the one you started with. It's just returned as a convenience for method chaining.

You can work around this behavior by cloning the moment, as described here.

Also, you cannot just use == to test. You could format each moment to the same output and compare those, or you could just use the .isSame() method.

Your code is now:

var timestring1 = "2013-05-09T00:00:00Z";
var timestring2 = "2013-05-09T02:00:00Z";
var startdate = moment(timestring1);
var expected_enddate = moment(timestring2);
var returned_endate = moment(startdate).add(2, 'hours');  // see the cloning?
returned_endate.isSame(expected_enddate)  // true

How can I catch an error caused by mail()?

This is about the best you can do:

if (!mail(...)) {
   // Reschedule for later try or panic appropriately!
}

http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

mail() returns TRUE if the mail was successfully accepted for delivery, FALSE otherwise.

It is important to note that just because the mail was accepted for delivery, it does NOT mean the mail will actually reach the intended destination.

If you need to suppress warnings, you can use:

if (!@mail(...))

Be careful though about using the @ operator without appropriate checks as to whether something succeed or not.


If mail() errors are not suppressible (weird, but can't test it right now), you could:

a) turn off errors temporarily:

$errLevel = error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);  // suppress NOTICEs
mail(...);
error_reporting($errLevel);  // restore old error levels

b) use a different mailer, as suggested by fire and Mike.

If mail() turns out to be too flaky and inflexible, I'd look into b). Turning off errors is making debugging harder and is generally ungood.

Check to see if cURL is installed locally?

cURL is disabled for most hosting control panels for security reasons, but it's required for a lot of php applications. It's not unusual for a client to request it. Since the risk of enabling cURL is minimal, you are probably better off enabling it than losing a customer. It's simply a utility that helps php scripts fetch things using standard Internet URLs.

To enable cURL, you will remove curl_exec from the "disabled list" in the control panel php advanced settings. You will also find a disabled list in the various php.ini files; look in /etc/php.ini and other paths that might exist for your control panel. You will need to restart Apache to make the change take effect.

service httpd restart

To confirm whether cURL is enabled or disabled, create a file somewhere in your system and paste the following contents.

<?php
echo '<pre>';
var_dump(curl_version());
echo '</pre>';
?>

Save the file as testcurl.php and then run it as a php script.

php testcurl.php

If cURL is disabled you will see this error.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_version() in testcurl.php on line 2

If cURL is enabled you will see a long list of attributes, like this.

How to add multiple values to a dictionary key in python?

Make the value a list, e.g.

a["abc"] = [1, 2, "bob"]

UPDATE:

There are a couple of ways to add values to key, and to create a list if one isn't already there. I'll show one such method in little steps.

key = "somekey"
a.setdefault(key, [])
a[key].append(1)

Results:

>>> a
{'somekey': [1]}

Next, try:

key = "somekey"
a.setdefault(key, [])
a[key].append(2)

Results:

>>> a
{'somekey': [1, 2]}

The magic of setdefault is that it initializes the value for that key if that key is not defined, otherwise it does nothing. Now, noting that setdefault returns the key you can combine these into a single line:

a.setdefault("somekey",[]).append("bob")

Results:

>>> a
{'somekey': [1, 2, 'bob']}

You should look at the dict methods, in particular the get() method, and do some experiments to get comfortable with this.

How to insert a data table into SQL Server database table?

From my understanding of the question,this can use a fairly straight forward solution.Anyway below is the method i propose ,this method takes in a data table and then using SQL statements to insert into a table in the database.Please mind that my solution is using MySQLConnection and MySqlCommand replace it with SqlConnection and SqlCommand.

public void InsertTableIntoDB_CreditLimitSimple(System.Data.DataTable tblFormat)
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < tblFormat.Rows.Count; i++)
        {

            String InsertQuery = string.Empty;

            InsertQuery = "INSERT INTO customercredit " +
                          "(ACCOUNT_CODE,NAME,CURRENCY,CREDIT_LIMIT) " +
                          "VALUES ('" + tblFormat.Rows[i]["AccountCode"].ToString() + "','" + tblFormat.Rows[i]["Name"].ToString() + "','" + tblFormat.Rows[i]["Currency"].ToString() + "','" + tblFormat.Rows[i]["CreditLimit"].ToString() + "')";



            using (MySqlConnection destinationConnection = new MySqlConnection(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnectionString"].ToString()))
            using (var dbcm = new MySqlCommand(InsertQuery, destinationConnection))
            {
                destinationConnection.Open();
                dbcm.ExecuteNonQuery();
            }
        }
    }//CreditLimit

Load properties file in JAR?

The problem is that you are using getSystemResourceAsStream. Use simply getResourceAsStream. System resources load from the system classloader, which is almost certainly not the class loader that your jar is loaded into when run as a webapp.

It works in Eclipse because when launching an application, the system classloader is configured with your jar as part of its classpath. (E.g. java -jar my.jar will load my.jar in the system class loader.) This is not the case with web applications - application servers use complex class loading to isolate webapplications from each other and from the internals of the application server. For example, see the tomcat classloader how-to, and the diagram of the classloader hierarchy used.

EDIT: Normally, you would call getClass().getResourceAsStream() to retrieve a resource in the classpath, but as you are fetching the resource in a static initializer, you will need to explicitly name a class that is in the classloader you want to load from. The simplest approach is to use the class containing the static initializer, e.g.

[public] class MyClass {
  static
  {
    ...
    props.load(MyClass.class.getResourceAsStream("/someProps.properties"));
  }
}

TypeScript and array reduce function

list.push(new Person("Toddler", 2));
list.push(new Person("Teen", 14));
list.push(new Person("Adult", 25));

var oldest_person = list.reduce( (a, b) => a.Age > b.Age ? a : b );
alert(oldest_person.Name);

Should I put input elements inside a label element?

I prefer

<label>
  Firstname
  <input name="firstname" />
</label>

<label>
  Lastname
  <input name="lastname" />
</label>

over

<label for="firstname">Firstname</label>
<input name="firstname" id="firstname" />

<label for="lastname">Lastname</label>
<input name="lastname" id="lastname" />

Mainly because it makes the HTML more readable. And I actually think my first example is easier to style with CSS, as CSS works very well with nested elements.

But it's a matter of taste I suppose.


If you need more styling options, add a span tag.

<label>
  <span>Firstname</span>
  <input name="firstname" />
</label>

<label>
  <span>Lastname</span>
  <input name="lastname" />
</label>

Code still looks better in my opinion.

How to determine whether a Pandas Column contains a particular value

I did a few simple tests:

In [10]: x = pd.Series(range(1000000))

In [13]: timeit 999999 in x.values
567 µs ± 25.6 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000 loops each)

In [15]: timeit x.isin([999999]).any()
9.54 ms ± 291 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 100 loops each)

In [16]: timeit (x == 999999).any()
6.86 ms ± 107 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 100 loops each)

In [17]: timeit 999999 in set(x)
79.8 ms ± 1.98 ms per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10 loops each)

In [21]: timeit x.eq(999999).any()
7.03 ms ± 33.7 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 100 loops each)

In [22]: timeit x.eq(9).any()
7.04 ms ± 60 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 100 loops each)

In [24]: timeit 9 in x.values
666 µs ± 15.7 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000 loops each)

Interestingly it doesn't matter if you look up 9 or 999999, it seems like it takes about the same amount of time using the in syntax (must be using binary search)

In [24]: timeit 9 in x.values
666 µs ± 15.7 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000 loops each)

In [25]: timeit 9999 in x.values
647 µs ± 5.21 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000 loops each)

In [26]: timeit 999999 in x.values
642 µs ± 2.11 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000 loops each)

In [27]: timeit 99199 in x.values
644 µs ± 5.31 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000 loops each)

In [28]: timeit 1 in x.values
667 µs ± 20.8 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000 loops each)

Seems like using x.values is the fastest, but maybe there is a more elegant way in pandas?

Not sure why you'd be having trouble, though I am testing this on 5.1.41

How to suppress scientific notation when printing float values?

Using the newer version ''.format (also remember to specify how many digit after the . you wish to display, this depends on how small is the floating number). See this example:

>>> a = -7.1855143557448603e-17
>>> '{:f}'.format(a)
'-0.000000'

as shown above, default is 6 digits! This is not helpful for our case example, so instead we could use something like this:

>>> '{:.20f}'.format(a)
'-0.00000000000000007186'

Update

Starting in Python 3.6, this can be simplified with the new formatted string literal, as follows:

>>> f'{a:.20f}'
'-0.00000000000000007186'

Insert a line at specific line number with sed or awk

sed -i '8i8 This is Line 8' FILE

inserts at line 8

8 This is Line 8

into file FILE

-i does the modification directly to file FILE, no output to stdout, as mentioned in the comments by glenn jackman.

How do I create and access the global variables in Groovy?

Just declare the variable at class or script scope, then access it from inside your methods or closures. Without an example, it's hard to be more specific for your particular problem though.

However, global variables are generally considered bad form.

Why not return the variable from one function, then pass it into the next?

Is it good practice to make the constructor throw an exception?

As mentioned in another answer here, in Guideline 7-3 of the Java Secure Coding Guidelines, throwing an exception in the constructor of a non-final class opens a potential attack vector:

Guideline 7-3 / OBJECT-3: Defend against partially initialized instances of non-final classes When a constructor in a non-final class throws an exception, attackers can attempt to gain access to partially initialized instances of that class. Ensure that a non-final class remains totally unusable until its constructor completes successfully.

From JDK 6 on, construction of a subclassable class can be prevented by throwing an exception before the Object constructor completes. To do this, perform the checks in an expression that is evaluated in a call to this() or super().

    // non-final java.lang.ClassLoader
    public abstract class ClassLoader {
        protected ClassLoader() {
            this(securityManagerCheck());
        }
        private ClassLoader(Void ignored) {
            // ... continue initialization ...
        }
        private static Void securityManagerCheck() {
            SecurityManager security = System.getSecurityManager();
            if (security != null) {
                security.checkCreateClassLoader();
            }
            return null;
        }
    }

For compatibility with older releases, a potential solution involves the use of an initialized flag. Set the flag as the last operation in a constructor before returning successfully. All methods providing a gateway to sensitive operations must first consult the flag before proceeding:

    public abstract class ClassLoader {

        private volatile boolean initialized;

        protected ClassLoader() {
            // permission needed to create ClassLoader
            securityManagerCheck();
            init();

            // Last action of constructor.
            this.initialized = true;
        }
        protected final Class defineClass(...) {
            checkInitialized();

            // regular logic follows
            ...
        }

        private void checkInitialized() {
            if (!initialized) {
                throw new SecurityException(
                    "NonFinal not initialized"
                );
            }
        }
    }

Furthermore, any security-sensitive uses of such classes should check the state of the initialization flag. In the case of ClassLoader construction, it should check that its parent class loader is initialized.

Partially initialized instances of a non-final class can be accessed via a finalizer attack. The attacker overrides the protected finalize method in a subclass and attempts to create a new instance of that subclass. This attempt fails (in the above example, the SecurityManager check in ClassLoader's constructor throws a security exception), but the attacker simply ignores any exception and waits for the virtual machine to perform finalization on the partially initialized object. When that occurs the malicious finalize method implementation is invoked, giving the attacker access to this, a reference to the object being finalized. Although the object is only partially initialized, the attacker can still invoke methods on it, thereby circumventing the SecurityManager check. While the initialized flag does not prevent access to the partially initialized object, it does prevent methods on that object from doing anything useful for the attacker.

Use of an initialized flag, while secure, can be cumbersome. Simply ensuring that all fields in a public non-final class contain a safe value (such as null) until object initialization completes successfully can represent a reasonable alternative in classes that are not security-sensitive.

A more robust, but also more verbose, approach is to use a "pointer to implementation" (or "pimpl"). The core of the class is moved into a non-public class with the interface class forwarding method calls. Any attempts to use the class before it is fully initialized will result in a NullPointerException. This approach is also good for dealing with clone and deserialization attacks.

    public abstract class ClassLoader {

        private final ClassLoaderImpl impl;

        protected ClassLoader() {
            this.impl = new ClassLoaderImpl();
        }
        protected final Class defineClass(...) {
            return impl.defineClass(...);
        }
    }

    /* pp */ class ClassLoaderImpl {
        /* pp */ ClassLoaderImpl() {
            // permission needed to create ClassLoader
            securityManagerCheck();
            init();
        }

        /* pp */ Class defineClass(...) {
            // regular logic follows
            ...
        }
    }

Abstract methods in Python

You can use six and abc to construct a class for both python2 and python3 efficiently as follows:

import six
import abc

@six.add_metaclass(abc.ABCMeta)
class MyClass(object):
    """
    documentation
    """

    @abc.abstractmethod
    def initialize(self, para=None):
        """
        documentation
        """
        raise NotImplementedError

This is an awesome document of it.

JQuery: dynamic height() with window resize()

To see the window height while (or after) it is resized, try it:

$(window).resize(function() {

Linq where clause compare only date value without time value

EDIT

To avoid this error : The specified type member 'Date' is not supported in LINQ to Entities. Only initializers, entity members, and entity navigation properties are supported.

var _My_ResetSet_Array = _DB
                .tbl_MyTable
                .Where(x => x.Active == true)
                         .Select(x => x).ToList();

 var filterdata = _My_ResetSet_Array
        .Where(x=>DateTime.Compare(x.DateTimeValueColumn.Date, DateTime.Now.Date)  <= 0 );

The second line is required because LINQ to Entity is not able to convert date property to sql query. So its better to first fetch the data and then apply the date filter.

EDIT

If you just want to compare the date value of the date time than make use of

DateTime.Date Property - Gets the date component of this instance.

Code for you

var _My_ResetSet_Array = _DB
                .tbl_MyTable
                .Where(x => x.Active == true
     && DateTime.Compare(x.DateTimeValueColumn.Date, DateTime.Now.Date)  <= 0 )
                         .Select(x => x);

If its like that then use

DateTime.Compare Method - Compares two instances of DateTime and returns an integer that indicates whether the first instance is earlier than, the same as, or later than the second instance.

Code for you

var _My_ResetSet_Array = _DB
                .tbl_MyTable
                .Where(x => x.Active == true
                  && DateTime.Compare(x.DateTimeValueColumn, DateTime.Now)  <= 0 )
                         .Select(x => x);

Example

DateTime date1 = new DateTime(2009, 8, 1, 0, 0, 0);
DateTime date2 = new DateTime(2009, 8, 1, 12, 0, 0);
int result = DateTime.Compare(date1, date2);
string relationship;

if (result < 0)
   relationship = "is earlier than";
else if (result == 0)
   relationship = "is the same time as";         
else
   relationship = "is later than";

How to set python variables to true or false?

First to answer your question, you set a variable to true or false by assigning True or False to it:

myFirstVar = True
myOtherVar = False

If you have a condition that is basically like this though:

if <condition>:
    var = True
else:
    var = False

then it is much easier to simply assign the result of the condition directly:

var = <condition>

In your case:

match_var = a == b

Script parameters in Bash

Use the variables "$1", "$2", "$3" and so on to access arguments. To access all of them you can use "$@", or to get the count of arguments $# (might be useful to check for too few or too many arguments).

What is the difference between typeof and instanceof and when should one be used vs. the other?

I would recommend using prototype's callback.isFunction().

They've figured out the difference and you can count on their reason.

I guess other JS frameworks have such things, too.

instanceOf wouldn't work on functions defined in other windows, I believe. Their Function is different than your window.Function.

Animate a custom Dialog

I've been struggling with Dialog animation today, finally got it working using styles, so here is an example.

To start with, the most important thing — I probably had it working 5 different ways today but couldn't tell because... If your devices animation settings are set to "No Animations" (Settings ? Display ? Animation) then the dialogs won't be animated no matter what you do!

The following is a stripped down version of my styles.xml. Hopefully it is self-explanatory. This should be located in res/values.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <style name="PauseDialog" parent="@android:style/Theme.Dialog">
        <item name="android:windowAnimationStyle">@style/PauseDialogAnimation</item>
    </style>

    <style name="PauseDialogAnimation">
        <item name="android:windowEnterAnimation">@anim/spin_in</item>
        <item name="android:windowExitAnimation">@android:anim/slide_out_right</item>
    </style>
</resources>

The windowEnterAnimation is one of my animations and is located in res\anim. The windowExitAnimation is one of the animations that is part of the Android SDK.

Then when I create the Dialog in my activities onCreateDialog(int id) method I do the following.

Dialog dialog = new Dialog(this, R.style.PauseDialog);

// Setting the title and layout for the dialog
dialog.setTitle(R.string.pause_menu_label);
dialog.setContentView(R.layout.pause_menu);

Alternatively you could set the animations the following way instead of using the Dialog constructor that takes a theme.

Dialog dialog = new Dialog(this);
dialog.getWindow().getAttributes().windowAnimations = R.style.PauseDialogAnimation;

SFTP Libraries for .NET

Check this out: http://www.tamirgal.com/home/dev.aspx?Item=sharpSsh

SharpSSH is a pure .NET implementation of the SSH2 client protocol suite. It provides an API for communication with SSH servers and can be integrated into any .NET application.

The library is a C# port of the JSch project from JCraft Inc. and is released under BSD style license.

SharpSSH allows you to read/write data and transfer files over SSH channels using an API similar to JSch's API. In addition, it provides some additional wrapper classes which offer even simpler abstraction for SSH communication.
