How to change the font size on a matplotlib plot

If you want to change the fontsize for just a specific plot that has already been created, try this:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

ax = plt.subplot(111, xlabel='x', ylabel='y', title='title')
for item in ([ax.title, ax.xaxis.label, ax.yaxis.label] +
             ax.get_xticklabels() + ax.get_yticklabels()):
    item.set_fontsize(20)

how to set font size based on container size?

I had a similar issue but I had to consider other issues that @apaul34208 example did not tackle. In my case;

  • I have a container that changed size depending on the viewport using media queries
  • Text inside is dynamically generated
  • I want to scale up as well as down

Not the most elegant of examples but it does the trick for me. Consider using throttling the window resize (https://lodash.com/)

Responsive font size in CSS

There are several ways to achieve this.

Use a media query, but it requires font sizes for several breakpoints:

body
{
    font-size: 22px;
}

h1
{
    font-size: 44px;
}

@media (min-width: 768)
{
    body
    {
        font-size: 17px;
    }
    h1
    {
        font-size: 24px;
    }
}

Use dimensions in % or em. Just change the base font size, and everything will change. Unlike the previous one, you could just change the body font and not h1 every time or let the base font size be the default of the device and the rest all in em:

  1. “Ems” (em): The “em” is a scalable unit. An em is equal to the current font-size, for instance, if the font-size of the document is 12 pt, 1 em is equal to 12 pt. Ems are scalable in nature, so 2 em would equal 24 pt, .5 em would equal 6 pt, etc..
  2. Percent (%): The percent unit is much like the “em” unit, save for a few fundamental differences. First and foremost, the current font-size is equal to 100% (i.e. 12 pt = 100%). While using the percent unit, your text remains fully scalable for mobile devices and for accessibility.

See kyleschaeffer.com/....

CSS 3 supports new dimensions that are relative to the view port. But this doesn't work on Android:

  1. 3.2vw = 3.2% of width of viewport
  2. 3.2vh = 3.2% of height of viewport
  3. 3.2vmin = Smaller of 3.2vw or 3.2vh
  4. 3.2vmax = Bigger of 3.2vw or 3.2vh

    body
    {
        font-size: 3.2vw;
    }
    

See CSS-Tricks ... and also look at Can I Use...

Is there such a thing as min-font-size and max-font-size?

I got some smooth results with these. It flows smoothly between the 3 width ranges, like a continuous piecewise function.

@media screen and (min-width: 581px) and (max-width: 1760px){
    #expandingHeader {
        line-height:5.2vw;
        font-size: 5.99vw;
    }
    #tagLine {
        letter-spacing: .15vw;
        font-size: 1.7vw;
        line-height:1.0vw;
    }
}

@media screen and (min-width: 1761px){
    #expandingHeader {
        line-height:.9em;
        font-size: 7.03em;

    }
    #tagLine {
        letter-spacing: .15vw;
        font-size: 1.7vw;
        line-height:1.0vw;
    }
}

@media screen and (max-width: 580px){
    #expandingHeader {
        line-height:.9em;
        font-size: 2.3em;
    }
    #tagLine {
        letter-spacing: .1em;
        font-size: .65em;
        line-height: .10em;
    }
}

How to change FontSize By JavaScript?

JavaScript is case sensitive.

So, if you want to change the font size, you have to go:

span.style.fontSize = "25px";

How can I change the font-size of a select option?

try this

http://jsfiddle.net/VggvD/2/

CSS add your code

.select_join option{
    font-size:13px;
}

Set UIButton title UILabel font size programmatically

You can also set the font size, and the font style using something like this. It's a little more than what you're asking for but hey, what the heck...

[myButton.titleLabel setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"Helvetica-Bold" size:13.0]];

And… if you're feeling frisky a list of available fonts can be found by implementing this code and then checking the output in your xCode debugger.

Code:

NSArray *familyNames = [[NSArray alloc] initWithArray:[UIFont familyNames]];
NSArray *fontNames;
NSInteger indFamily, indFont;
for (indFamily=0; indFamily<[familyNames count]; ++indFamily)
{
    NSLog(@"Family name: %@", [familyNames objectAtIndex:indFamily]);
    fontNames = [[NSArray alloc] initWithArray:
            [UIFont fontNamesForFamilyName:
            [familyNames objectAtIndex:indFamily]]];
    for (indFont=0; indFont<[fontNames count]; ++indFont)
    {
        NSLog(@"    Font name: %@", [fontNames objectAtIndex:indFont]);
    }
}

Shortcut for changing font size

I am using Visual Studio 2017 , I found below can change font size

enter image description here

UILabel font size?

In C# These ways you can Solve the problem, In UIkit these methods are available.

Label.Font = Label.Font.WithSize(5.0f);
       Or
Label.Font = UIFont.FromName("Copperplate", 10.0f);  
       Or
Label.Font = UIFont.WithSize(5.0f);

How to convert <font size="10"> to px?

the font size to em mapping is only accurate if there is no font-size defined and changes when your container is set to different sizes.

The following works best for me but it does not account for size=7 and anything above 7 only renders as 7.

font size=1 = font-size:x-small
font size=2 = font-size:small
font size=3 = font-size:medium
font size=4 = font-size:large
font size=5 = font-size:x-large
font size=6 = font-size:xx-large

enter image description here

Specifying Font and Size in HTML table

The font tag has been deprecated for some time now.

That being said, the reason why both of your tables display with the same font size is that the 'size' attribute only accepts values ranging from 1 - 7. The smallest size is 1. The largest size is 7. The default size is 3. Any values larger than 7 will just display the same as if you had used 7, because 7 is the maximum value allowed.

And as @Alex H said, you should be using CSS for this.

Auto-fit TextView for Android

Below is avalancha TextView with added functionality for custom Font.

Usage:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:foo="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" >

                <de.meinprospekt.androidhd.view.AutoFitText
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="10dp"
                android:text="Small Text"
                android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
                android:textSize="100sp"
                foo:customFont="fonts/Roboto-Light.ttf" />

</FrameLayout>

Don't forget to add: xmlns:foo="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto". Font should be in assets firectory

Font scaling based on width of container

I just created a demo how to do it. It uses transform:scale() to achieve that with some JS that watches element resizing. Works nicely for my needs.

CSS: 100% font size - 100% of what?

The browser default which is something like 16pt for Firefox, You can check by going into Firefox options, clicking the Content tab, and checking the font size. You can do the same for other browsers as well.

I personally like to control the default font size of my websites, so in a CSS file that is included in every page I will set the BODY default, like so:

body {
    font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
    font-size: 14px
}

Now the font-size of all my HTML tags will inherit a font-size of 14px.

Say that I want a all divs to have a font size 10% bigger than body, I simply do:

div {
    font-size: 110%
}

Now any browser that view my pages will autmoatically make all divs 10% bigger than that of the body, which should be something like 15.4px.

If I want the font-size of all div's to be 10% smaller, I do:

div {
    font-size: 90%
}

This will make all divs have a font-size of 12.6px.

Also you should know that since font-size is inherited, that each nested div will decrease in font size by 10%, so:

<div>Outer DIV.
    <div>Inner DIV</div>
</div>

The inner div will have a font-size of 11.34px (90% of 12.6px), which may not have been intended.

This can help in the explanation: http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/REC-CSS2-20110607/syndata.html#value-def-percentage

How to adjust text font size to fit textview

You can now do this without a third party library or a widget. It's built into TextView in API level 26. Add android:autoSizeTextType="uniform" to your TextView and set height to it. That's all. Use app:autoSizeTextType="uniform" for backward compatibility

https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/look-and-feel/autosizing-textview.html

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="200dp"
    android:autoSizeTextType="uniform" />

You can also use TextViewCompat for compatibility.

How to change Bootstrap's global default font size?

The recommended way to do this from the current v4 docs is:

$font-size-base: 0.8rem;
$line-height-base: 1;

Be sure to define the variables above the bootstrap css include and they will override the bootstrap.

No need for anything else and this is the cleanest way

It's described quite clearly in the docs https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.1/content/typography/#global-settings

Create a File object in memory from a string in Java

Usually when a method accepts a file, there's another method nearby that accepts a stream. If this isn't the case, the API is badly coded. Otherwise, you can use temporary files, where permission is usually granted in many cases. If it's applet, you can request write permission.

An example:

try {
    // Create temp file.
    File temp = File.createTempFile("pattern", ".suffix");

    // Delete temp file when program exits.
    temp.deleteOnExit();

    // Write to temp file
    BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(temp));
    out.write("aString");
    out.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
}

"Primary Filegroup is Full" in SQL Server 2008 Standard for no apparent reason

I just ran into the same problem. The reason was that the virtual memory file "pagefile.sys" was located on the same drive as our data files for our databases (D: drive). It had doubled in size and filled the disk but windows wasn't picking it up, i.e. it looked like we had 80 GB free when we actually didn't.

Restarting SQL server didn't help, perhaps defragment would give the OS time to free up the pagefile, but we just rebooted the server and voila, the pagefile had shrunk and everything worked fine.

What is interesting is that during the 30 min we were investigating, windows didn't calculate the size of the pagefile.sys at all (80gb). After restart windows did find the pagefile and included it's size in the total disk usage (now 40gb - which is still too big).

Batch script: how to check for admin rights

A collection of the four seemingly most compatible methods from this page. The first one's really quite genius. Tested from XP up. Confusing though that there is no standard command available to check for admin rights. I guess they're simply focusing on PowerShell now, which is really useless for most of my own work.

I called the batch 'exit-if-not-admin.cmd' which can be called from other batches to make sure they don't continue execution if the required admin rights are not given.

What is the difference between an int and a long in C++?

The C++ Standard says it like this :

3.9.1, §2 :

There are five signed integer types : "signed char", "short int", "int", "long int", and "long long int". In this list, each type provides at least as much storage as those preceding it in the list. Plain ints have the natural size suggested by the architecture of the execution environment (44); the other signed integer types are provided to meet special needs.

(44) that is, large enough to contain any value in the range of INT_MIN and INT_MAX, as defined in the header <climits>.

The conclusion : it depends on which architecture you're working on. Any other assumption is false.

You can then add this to the cron

Python: Find a substring in a string and returning the index of the substring

There's a builtin method find on string objects.

s = "Happy Birthday"
s2 = "py"

print(s.find(s2))

Python is a "batteries included language" there's code written to do most of what you want already (whatever you want).. unless this is homework :)

find returns -1 if the string cannot be found.

CSS "and" and "or"

&& works by stringing-together multiple selectors like-so:

<div class="class1 class2"></div>

div.class1.class2
{
  /* foo */
}

Another example:

<input type="radio" class="class1" />

input[type="radio"].class1
{
  /* foo */
}

|| works by separating multiple selectors with commas like-so:

<div class="class1"></div>
<div class="class2"></div>

div.class1,
div.class2
{
  /* foo */
}

How can I use custom fonts on a website?

Yes, there is a way. Its called custom fonts in CSS.Your CSS needs to be modified, and you need to upload those fonts to your website.

Why are iframes considered dangerous and a security risk?

The IFRAME element may be a security risk if your site is embedded inside an IFRAME on hostile site. Google "clickjacking" for more details. Note that it does not matter if you use <iframe> or not. The only real protection from this attack is to add HTTP header X-Frame-Options: DENY and hope that the browser knows its job.

In addition, IFRAME element may be a security risk if any page on your site contains an XSS vulnerability which can be exploited. In that case the attacker can expand the XSS attack to any page within the same domain that can be persuaded to load within an <iframe> on the page with XSS vulnerability. This is because content from the same origin (same domain) is allowed to access the parent content DOM (practically execute JavaScript in the "host" document). The only real protection methods from this attack is to add HTTP header X-Frame-Options: DENY and/or always correctly encode all user submitted data (that is, never have an XSS vulnerability on your site - easier said than done).

That's the technical side of the issue. In addition, there's the issue of user interface. If you teach your users to trust that URL bar is supposed to not change when they click links (e.g. your site uses a big iframe with all the actual content), then the users will not notice anything in the future either in case of actual security vulnerability. For example, you could have an XSS vulnerability within your site that allows the attacker to load content from hostile source within your iframe. Nobody could tell the difference because the URL bar still looks identical to previous behavior (never changes) and the content "looks" valid even though it's from hostile domain requesting user credentials.

If somebody claims that using an <iframe> element on your site is dangerous and causes a security risk, he does not understand what <iframe> element does, or he is speaking about possibility of <iframe> related vulnerabilities in browsers. Security of <iframe src="..."> tag is equal to <img src="..." or <a href="..."> as long there are no vulnerabilities in the browser. And if there's a suitable vulnerability, it might be possible to trigger it even without using <iframe>, <img> or <a> element, so it's not worth considering for this issue.

However, be warned that content from <iframe> can initiate top level navigation by default. That is, content within the <iframe> is allowed to automatically open a link over current page location (the new location will be visible in the address bar). The only way to avoid that is to add sandbox attribute without value allow-top-navigation. For example, <iframe sandbox="allow-forms allow-scripts" ...>. Unfortunately, sandbox also disables all plugins, always. For example, Youtube content cannot be sandboxed because Flash player is still required to view all Youtube content. No browser supports using plugins and disallowing top level navigation at the same time.

Note that X-Frame-Options: DENY also protects from rendering performance side-channel attack that can read content cross-origin (also known as "Pixel perfect Timing Attacks").

Spring Boot - How to log all requests and responses with exceptions in single place?

Don't write any Interceptors, Filters, Components, Aspects, etc., this is a very common problem and has been solved many times over.

Spring Boot has a modules called Actuator, which provides HTTP request logging out of the box. There's an endpoint mapped to /trace (SB1.x) or /actuator/httptrace (SB2.0+) which will show you last 100 HTTP requests. You can customize it to log each request, or write to a DB.

To get the endpoints you want, you'll need the spring-boot-starter-actuator dependency, and also to "whitelist" the endpoints you're looking for, and possibly setup or disable security for it.

Also, where will this application run? Will you be using a PaaS? Hosting providers, Heroku for example, provide request logging as part of their service and you don't need to do any coding whatsoever then.

Unix - copy contents of one directory to another

Quite simple, with a * wildcard.

cp -r Folder1/* Folder2/

But according to your example recursion is not needed so the following will suffice:

cp Folder1/* Folder2/

EDIT:

Or skip the mkdir Folder2 part and just run:

cp -r Folder1 Folder2

Is it possible to declare a variable in Gradle usable in Java?

rciovati's answer is entirely correct I just wanted to add one more tidbit that you can also create variables for every build type within the default config portion of your build.gradle. This would look like this:

android {
    defaultConfig {
        buildConfigField "String", "APP_NAME", "\"APP_NAME\""
    }
}

This will allow you to have access to through

BuildConfig.App_NAME

Just wanted to make a note of this scenario as well if you want a common config.

What is Dependency Injection?

Dependency Injection is passing dependency to other objects or framework( dependency injector).

Dependency injection makes testing easier. The injection can be done through constructor.

SomeClass() has its constructor as following:

public SomeClass() {
    myObject = Factory.getObject();
}

Problem: If myObject involves complex tasks such as disk access or network access, it is hard to do unit test on SomeClass(). Programmers have to mock myObject and might intercept the factory call.

Alternative solution:

  • Passing myObject in as an argument to the constructor
public SomeClass (MyClass myObject) {
    this.myObject = myObject;
}

myObject can be passed directly which makes testing easier.

  • One common alternative is defining a do-nothing constructor. Dependency injection can be done through setters. (h/t @MikeVella).
  • Martin Fowler documents a third alternative (h/t @MarcDix), where classes explicitly implement an interface for the dependencies programmers wish injected.

It is harder to isolate components in unit testing without dependency injection.

In 2013, when I wrote this answer, this was a major theme on the Google Testing Blog. It remains the biggest advantage to me, as programmers not always need the extra flexibility in their run-time design (for instance, for service locator or similar patterns). Programmers often need to isolate the classes during testing.

Get all messages from Whatsapp

Edit

As WhatsApp put some effort into improving their encryption system, getting the data is not that easy anymore. With newer versions of WhatsApp it is no longer possible to use adb backup. Apps can deny backups and the WhatsApp client does that. If you happen to have a rooted phone, you can use a root shell to get the unencrypted database file.

If you do not have root, you can still decrypt the data if you have an old WhatsApp APK. Find a version that still allows backups. Then you can make a backup of the app's data folder, which will contain an encryption key named, well, key.

Now you'll need the encrypted database. Use a file explorer of your choice or, if you like the command line more, use adb:

adb pull /sdcard/WhatsApp/Databases/msgstore.db.crypt12

Using the two files, you could now use https://gitlab.com/digitalinternals/whatsapp-crypt12 to get the plain text database. It is no longer possible to use Linux board tools like openssl because WhatsApp seems to use a modified version of the Spongy Castle API for cryptography that openssl does not understand.

Original Answer (only for the old crypt7)

As whatsapp is now using the crypt7 format, it is not that easy to get and decrypt the database anymore. There is a working approach using ADB and USB debugging.

You can either get the encryption keys via ADB and decrypt the message database stored on /sdcard, or you just get the plain version of the database via ADB backup, what seems to be the easier option.

To get the database, do the following:

Connect your Android phone to your computer. Now run

adb backup -f whatsapp_backup.ab -noapk com.whatsapp

to backup all files WhatsApp has created in its private folder.
You will get a zlib compressed file using tar format with some ADB headers. We need to get rid of those headers first as they confuse the decompression command:

dd if=whatsapp_backup.ab ibs=1 skip=24 of=whatsapp_backup.ab.nohdr

The file can now be decompressed:

cat whatsapp_backup.ab.nohdr | python -c "import zlib,sys;sys.stdout.write(zlib.decompress(sys.stdin.read()))" 1> whatsapp_backup.tar

This command runs Python and decompresses the file using zlib to whatsapp_backup.tar
Now we can unTAR the file:

tar xf whatsapp_backup.tar

The archive is now extracted to your current working directory and you can find the databases (msgstore.db and wa.db) in apps/com.whatsapp/db/

Is there a "standard" format for command line/shell help text?

Microsoft has their own Command Line Standard specification:

This document is focused at developers of command line utilities. Collectively, our goal is to present a consistent, composable command line user experience. Achieving that allows a user to learn a core set of concepts (syntax, naming, behaviors, etc) and then be able to translate that knowledge into working with a large set of commands. Those commands should be able to output standardized streams of data in a standardized format to allow easy composition without the burden of parsing streams of output text. This document is written to be independent of any specific implementation of a shell, set of utilities or command creation technologies; however, Appendix J - Using Windows Powershell to implement the Microsoft Command Line Standard shows how using Windows PowerShell will provide implementation of many of these guidelines for free.

Android - java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: starting Intent

Add android:exported="true" in your 'com.example.lib.MainActivity' activity tag.

From the android:exported documentation,

android:exported Whether or not the activity can be launched by components of other applications — "true" if it can be, and "false" if not. If "false", the activity can be launched only by components of the same application or applications with the same user ID.

From your logcat output, clearly a mismatch in uid is causing the issue. So adding the android:exported="true" should do the trick.

Use find command but exclude files in two directories

Use

find \( -path "./tmp" -o -path "./scripts" \) -prune -o  -name "*_peaks.bed" -print

or

find \( -path "./tmp" -o -path "./scripts" \) -prune -false -o  -name "*_peaks.bed"

or

find \( -path "./tmp" -path "./scripts" \) ! -prune -o  -name "*_peaks.bed"

The order is important. It evaluates from left to right. Always begin with the path exclusion.

Explanation

Do not use -not (or !) to exclude whole directory. Use -prune. As explained in the manual:

-prune    The primary shall always evaluate as  true;  it
          shall  cause  find  not  to descend the current
          pathname if it is a directory.  If  the  -depth
          primary  is specified, the -prune primary shall
          have no effect.

and in the GNU find manual:

-path pattern
              [...]
              To ignore  a  whole
              directory  tree,  use  -prune rather than checking
              every file in the tree.

Indeed, if you use -not -path "./pathname", find will evaluate the expression for each node under "./pathname".

find expressions are just condition evaluation.

  • \( \) - groups operation (you can use -path "./tmp" -prune -o -path "./scripts" -prune -o, but it is more verbose).
  • -path "./script" -prune - if -path returns true and is a directory, return true for that directory and do not descend into it.
  • -path "./script" ! -prune - it evaluates as (-path "./script") AND (! -prune). It revert the "always true" of prune to always false. It avoids printing "./script" as a match.
  • -path "./script" -prune -false - since -prune always returns true, you can follow it with -false to do the same than !.
  • -o - OR operator. If no operator is specified between two expressions, it defaults to AND operator.

Hence, \( -path "./tmp" -o -path "./scripts" \) -prune -o -name "*_peaks.bed" -print is expanded to:

[ (-path "./tmp" OR -path "./script") AND -prune ] OR ( -name "*_peaks.bed" AND print )

The print is important here because without it is expanded to:

{ [ (-path "./tmp" OR -path "./script" )  AND -prune ]  OR (-name "*_peaks.bed" ) } AND print

-print is added by find - that is why most of the time, you do not need to add it in you expression. And since -prune returns true, it will print "./script" and "./tmp".

It is not necessary in the others because we switched -prune to always return false.

Hint: You can use find -D opt expr 2>&1 1>/dev/null to see how it is optimized and expanded,
find -D search expr 2>&1 1>/dev/null to see which path is checked.

Also worth noting window.scrollBy(dx,dy) (ref)

HTTP POST using JSON in Java

I found this question looking for solution about how to send post request from java client to Google Endpoints. Above answers, very likely correct, but not work in case of Google Endpoints.

Solution for Google Endpoints.

  1. Request body must contains only JSON string, not name=value pair.
  2. Content type header must be set to "application/json".

    post("http://localhost:8888/_ah/api/langapi/v1/createLanguage",
                       "{\"language\":\"russian\", \"description\":\"dsfsdfsdfsdfsd\"}");
    
    
    
    public static void post(String url, String json ) throws Exception{
      String charset = "UTF-8"; 
      URLConnection connection = new URL(url).openConnection();
      connection.setDoOutput(true); // Triggers POST.
      connection.setRequestProperty("Accept-Charset", charset);
      connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json;charset=" + charset);
    
      try (OutputStream output = connection.getOutputStream()) {
        output.write(json.getBytes(charset));
      }
    
      InputStream response = connection.getInputStream();
    }
    

    It sure can be done using HttpClient as well.

How can you integrate a custom file browser/uploader with CKEditor?

I spent a while trying to figure this one out and here is what I did. I've broken it down very simply as that is what I needed.

Directly below your ckeditor text area, enter the upload file like this >>>>

<form action="welcomeeditupload.asp" method="post" name="deletechecked">
    <div align="center">
        <br />
        <br />
        <label></label>
        <textarea class="ckeditor" cols="80" id="editor1" name="editor1" rows="10"><%=(rslegschedule.Fields.Item("welcomevar").Value)%></textarea>
        <script type="text/javascript">
        //<![CDATA[
            CKEDITOR.replace( 'editor1',
            {
                filebrowserUploadUrl : 'updateimagedone.asp'
            });
        //]]>
        </script>
        <br />
        <br />
        <br />
        <input type="submit" value="Update">
    </div>
</form>

'and then add your upload file, here is mine which is written in ASP. If you're using PHP, etc. simply replace the ASP with your upload script but make sure the page outputs the same thing.

<%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="65001"%>
<%
    if Request("CKEditorFuncNum")=1 then
        Set Upload = Server.CreateObject("Persits.Upload")
        Upload.OverwriteFiles = False
        Upload.SetMaxSize 5000000, True
        Upload.CodePage = 65001

        On Error Resume Next
        Upload.Save "d:\hosting\belaullach\senate\legislation"

        Dim picture
        For Each File in Upload.Files
            Ext = UCase(Right(File.Path, 3))
            If Ext <> "JPG" Then
                    If Ext <> "BMP" Then
                    Response.Write "File " & File.Path & " is not a .jpg or .bmp file." & "<BR>"
                    Response.write "You can only upload .jpg or .bmp files." & "<BR>" & "<BR>"
                    End if
            Else
                File.SaveAs Server.MapPath(("/senate/legislation") & "/" & File.fileName)
                f1=File.fileName
            End If
        Next
    End if

    fnm="/senate/legislation/"&f1
    imgop = "<html><body><script type=""text/javascript"">window.parent.CKEDITOR.tools.callFunction('1','"&fnm&"');</script></body></html>;"
    'imgop="callFunction('1','"&fnm&"',"");"
    Response.write imgop

SimpleDateFormat and locale based format string

This will display the date according to user's current locale:

To return date and time:

import java.text.DateFormat;    
import java.util.Date;

Date date = new Date();
DateFormat df = DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance();
String myDate = df.format(date);

Dec 31, 1969 7:00:02 PM

To return date only, use:

DateFormat.getDateInstance() 

Dec 31, 1969

break/exit script

You could use the stopifnot() function if you want the program to produce an error:

foo <- function(x) {
    stopifnot(x > 500)
    # rest of program
}

How to change UINavigationBar background color from the AppDelegate

Swift:

How to get datetime in JavaScript?

Semantically, you're probably looking for the one-liner

new Date().toLocaleString()

which formats the date in the locale of the user.

If you're really looking for a specific way to format dates, I recommend the moment.js library.

TypeScript sorting an array

Numbers

When sorting numbers, you can use the compact comparison:

var numericArray: number[] = [2, 3, 4, 1, 5, 8, 11];

var sortedArray: number[] = numericArray.sort((n1,n2) => n1 - n2);

i.e. - rather than <.

Other Types

If you are comparing anything else, you'll need to convert the comparison into a number.

var stringArray: string[] = ['AB', 'Z', 'A', 'AC'];

var sortedArray: string[] = stringArray.sort((n1,n2) => {
    if (n1 > n2) {
        return 1;
    }

    if (n1 < n2) {
        return -1;
    }

    return 0;
});

Objects

For objects, you can sort based on a property, bear in mind the above information about being able to short-hand number types. The below example works irrespective of the type.

var objectArray: { age: number; }[] = [{ age: 10}, { age: 1 }, {age: 5}];

var sortedArray: { age: number; }[] = objectArray.sort((n1,n2) => {
    if (n1.age > n2.age) {
        return 1;
    }

    if (n1.age < n2.age) {
        return -1;
    }

    return 0;
});

Copy and paste content from one file to another file in vi

  1. Make sure you have the Vim version compiled with clipboard support
    • :echo has('clipboard') should return 1
    • if it returns 0 (for example Mac OS X, at least v10.11 (El Capitan), v10.9 (Mavericks) and v10.8 (Mountain Lion) - comes with a Vim version lacking clipboard support), you have to install a Vim version with clipboard support, say via brew install vim (don't forget to relaunch your terminal(s) after the installation)
  2. Enter a visual mode (V - multiline, v - plain, or Ctrlv - block-visual)
  3. Select line(s) you wish to copy
  4. "*y - to copy selected
  5. "*p - to paste copied

P.S:

  • you can replace steps 2-5 with the instructions from the answer by JayG, if you need to copy and paste a single line
  • to ease selecting lines, you can add set mouse+=a to your .vimrc - it will allow you to select lines in Vim using the mouse, while not selecting extraneous elements (like line numbers, etc.) NOTICE: it will block the ability to copy mouse-selected text to the system clipboard from Vim.

Getting URL hash location, and using it in jQuery

location.hash is not safe for IE , in case of IE ( including IE9 ) , if your page contains iframe , then after manual refresh inside iframe content get location.hash value is old( value for first page load ). while manual retrieved value is different than location.hash so always retrieve it through document.URL

var hash = document.URL.substr(document.URL.indexOf('#')+1) 

How to process POST data in Node.js?

There are multiple ways to do it. However, the quickest way I know is to use the Express.js library with body-parser.

var express = require("express");
var bodyParser = require("body-parser");
var app = express();

app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({extended : true}));

app.post("/pathpostdataissentto", function(request, response) {
  console.log(request.body);
  //Or
  console.log(request.body.fieldName);
});

app.listen(8080);

That can work for strings, but I would change bodyParser.urlencoded to bodyParser.json instead if the POST data contains a JSON array.

Viewing my IIS hosted site on other machines on my network

After installing antivirus I faced this issue and I noticed that my firewall automatically set as on, Now I just set firewall off and it solved my issue. Hope it will help someone :)

How to start rails server?

I also faced the same issue, but my fault was that I was running "rails s" outside of my application directory. After opening the cmd, just go inside your application and run the commands from their, it worked for me.

JavaScript Extending Class

For Autodidacts:

function BaseClass(toBePrivate){
    var morePrivates;
    this.isNotPrivate = 'I know';
    // add your stuff
}
var o = BaseClass.prototype;
// add your prototype stuff
o.stuff_is_never_private = 'whatever_except_getter_and_setter';


// MiddleClass extends BaseClass
function MiddleClass(toBePrivate){
    BaseClass.call(this);
    // add your stuff
    var morePrivates;
    this.isNotPrivate = 'I know';
}
var o = MiddleClass.prototype = Object.create(BaseClass.prototype);
MiddleClass.prototype.constructor = MiddleClass;
// add your prototype stuff
o.stuff_is_never_private = 'whatever_except_getter_and_setter';



// TopClass extends MiddleClass
function TopClass(toBePrivate){
    MiddleClass.call(this);
    // add your stuff
    var morePrivates;
    this.isNotPrivate = 'I know';
}
var o = TopClass.prototype = Object.create(MiddleClass.prototype);
TopClass.prototype.constructor = TopClass;
// add your prototype stuff
o.stuff_is_never_private = 'whatever_except_getter_and_setter';


// to be continued...

Create "instance" with getter and setter:

function doNotExtendMe(toBePrivate){
    var morePrivates;
    return {
        // add getters, setters and any stuff you want
    }
}

How do I get the current username in .NET using C#?

In case it's helpful to others, when I upgraded an app from c#.net 3.5 app to Visual Studio 2017 this line of code User.Identity.Name.Substring(4); threw this error "startIndex cannot be larger than length of string" (it didn't baulk before).

It was happy when I changed it to System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent().Name however I ended up using Environment.UserName; to get the logged in Windows user and without the domain portion.

How to hide collapsible Bootstrap 4 navbar on click

add below code in your < a > TAG

data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse.show"

as shows below in every TAG

<li class="nav-item">
   <a class="nav-link" href="#about-us" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse.show">About</a>
</li>

Thread Safe C# Singleton Pattern

The reason is performance. If instance != null (which will always be the case except the very first time), there is no need to do a costly lock: Two threads accessing the initialized singleton simultaneously would be synchronized unneccessarily.

Git push hangs when pushing to Github?

For the sake of completeness (sometimes problems like this are not as complicated as they might seem):

Having a non-existing remote repository configured can also result in this behavior - I recently found out by accidentally changing my origin's URL to githu.com.

Space between border and content? / Border distance from content?

You usually use padding to add distance between a border and a content.However, background are spread on padding.

You can still do it with nested element.

html :

<div id="outter">
    <div id="inner">
        test
    </div>
</div>

outter div :

border-style: ridge;
border-color: #567498;
border-spacing:10px;
min-width: 100px;
min-height: 100px;
float:left;

inner div :

width: 100px;
min-height: 100px;
margin: 10px;
background-image: -webkit-gradient(
    linear,
    left bottom,
    left top,
    color-stop(0, rgb(39,54,73)),
    color-stop(1, rgb(30,42,54))
);
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(
    center bottom,
    rgb(39,54,73) 0%,
    rgb(30,42,54) 100%
        );}

How to set the size of button in HTML

This cannot be done with pure HTML/JS, you will need CSS

CSS:

Substitute 100% with required size

This can be done in many ways

Spring Boot application can't resolve the org.springframework.boot package

If the below step not work:

Replaced my Spring Boot 1.4.2.RELEASE to 1.5.10.RELEASE

  • Right click on project and -> Maven-> Download Resources
  • right click on project -> Maven-> Update project

The reason for this error might be multiple version of the same is downloaded into your maven local repository folder.

So follow below steps to clear all existing repository jars and download all from beginning based on dependencies defined in your POM.xml..

  1. Go to build path . Check Maven Repository in the libraries added section.
  2. Choose any jar and mousehover .. it will show the local repository location. generally it is : user/.m2/repository/....
  3. Go to the location . and remove the repository folder contains.
  4. Now right click on your project .. do Maven --> maven update.
    This will solve your dependencies problem . as Maven will try to download all the items again from repository and build the project.

How to set MimeBodyPart ContentType to "text/html"?

Don't know why (the method is not documented), but by looking at the source code, this line should do it :

mime_body_part.setHeader("Content-Type", "text/html");

Visualizing branch topology in Git

Gitx is also a fantastic visualization tool if you happen to be on OS X.

Convert row names into first column

Or you can use dplyr's add_rownames which does the same thing as David's answer:

library(dplyr)
df <- tibble::rownames_to_column(df, "VALUE")

UPDATE (mid-2016): (incorporated to the above)

old function called add_rownames() has been deprecated and is being replaced by tibble::rownames_to_column() (same functions, but Hadley refactored dplyr a bit).

Modulo operator with negative values

From ISO14882:2011(e) 5.6-4:

The binary / operator yields the quotient, and the binary % operator yields the remainder from the division of the first expression by the second. If the second operand of / or % is zero the behavior is undefined. For integral operands the / operator yields the algebraic quotient with any fractional part discarded; if the quotient a/b is representable in the type of the result, (a/b)*b + a%b is equal to a.

The rest is basic math:

(-7/3) => -2
-2 * 3 => -6
so a%b => -1

(7/-3) => -2
-2 * -3 => 6
so a%b => 1

Note that

If both operands are nonnegative then the remainder is nonnegative; if not, the sign of the remainder is implementation-defined.

from ISO14882:2003(e) is no longer present in ISO14882:2011(e)

Difference between scaling horizontally and vertically for databases

You have a company and there is only 1 worker but you got 1 new project at that time you hire new candidate -- this is horizontal scaling. where new candidate is new machines and project is new traffic/calls to your api's.

Where as 1 project with an IIT/NIT guy handling all request to your api/traffic. If any time more request to your api's then fire him and replacing him with a high IQ NIT/IIT guy -- this is vertical scaling.

Select method in List<t> Collection

Try this:

using System.Data.Linq;
var result = from i in list
             where i.age > 45
             select i;

Using lambda expression please use this Statement:

var result = list.where(i => i.age > 45);

ssh remote host identification has changed

Remove that the entry from known_hosts using:

ssh-keygen -R *ip_address_or_hostname*

This will remove the problematic IP or hostname from known_hosts file and try to connect again.

From the man pages:

-R hostname
Removes all keys belonging to hostname from a known_hosts file. This option is useful to delete hashed hosts (see the -H option above).

display HTML page after loading complete

Hide the body initially, and then show it with jQuery after it has loaded.

body {
    display: none;
}

$(function () {
    $('body').show();
}); // end ready

Also, it would be best to have $('body').show(); as the last line in your last and main .js file.

Accessing a property in a parent Component

I had the same problem but I solved it differently. I don't know if it's a good way of doing it, but it works great for what I need.

I used @Inject on the constructor of the child component, like this:

import { Component, OnInit, Inject } from '@angular/core';
import { ParentComponent } from '../views/parent/parent.component';

export class ChildComponent{
    constructor(@Inject(ParentComponent) private parent: ParentComponent){

    }

    someMethod(){
        this.parent.aPublicProperty = 2;
    }
}

This worked for me, you only need to declare the method or property you want to call as public.

In my case, the AppComponent handles the routing, and I'm using badges in the menu items to alert the user that new unread messages are available. So everytime a user reads a message, I want that counter to refresh, so I call the refresh method so that the number at the menu nav gets updated with the new value. This is probably not the best way but I like it for its simplicity.

Setting timestamps to false means you are going to lose both created_at and updated_at whereas you could set both of the keys in your model.

Case 1:

You have created_at column but not update_at you could simply set updated_at to false in your model

class ABC extends Model {

const UPDATED_AT = null;

Case 2:

You have both created_at and updated_at columns but with different column names

You could simply do:

class ABC extends Model {

const CREATED_AT = 'name_of_created_at_column';
const UPDATED_AT = 'name_of_updated_at_column';

Finally ignoring timestamps completely:

class ABC extends Model {

public $timestamps = false;

set dropdown value by text using jquery

This is a method that works based on the text of the option, not the index. Just tested.

var theText = "GOOGLE";
$("#HowYouKnow option:contains(" + theText + ")").attr('selected', 'selected');

Or, if there are similar values (thanks shanabus):

$("#HowYouKnow option").each(function() {
  if($(this).text() == theText) {
    $(this).attr('selected', 'selected');            
  }                        
});

How do I set the value property in AngularJS' ng-options?

This was best suited for all scenarios according to me:

<select ng-model="mySelection.value">
   <option ng-repeat="r in myList" value="{{r.Id}}" ng-selected="mySelection.value == r.Id">{{r.Name}}
   </option>
</select>

where you can use your model to bind the data. You will get the value as the object will contain and the default selection based on your scenario.

SQL join: selecting the last records in a one-to-many relationship

This is an example of the greatest-n-per-group problem that has appeared regularly on StackOverflow.

Here's how I usually recommend solving it:

SELECT c.*, p1.*
FROM customer c
JOIN purchase p1 ON (c.id = p1.customer_id)
LEFT OUTER JOIN purchase p2 ON (c.id = p2.customer_id AND 
    (p1.date < p2.date OR (p1.date = p2.date AND p1.id < p2.id)))
WHERE p2.id IS NULL;

Explanation: given a row p1, there should be no row p2 with the same customer and a later date (or in the case of ties, a later id). When we find that to be true, then p1 is the most recent purchase for that customer.

Regarding indexes, I'd create a compound index in purchase over the columns (customer_id, date, id). That may allow the outer join to be done using a covering index. Be sure to test on your platform, because optimization is implementation-dependent. Use the features of your RDBMS to analyze the optimization plan. E.g. EXPLAIN on MySQL.


Some people use subqueries instead of the solution I show above, but I find my solution makes it easier to resolve ties.

Execute a stored procedure in another stored procedure in SQL server

Yes , Its easy to way we call the function inside the store procedure.

for e.g. create user define Age function and use in select query.

select dbo.GetRegAge(R.DateOfBirth, r.RegistrationDate) as Age,R.DateOfBirth,r.RegistrationDate from T_Registration R

What is the equivalent to getLastInsertId() in Cakephp?

This is interesting, I also stumbled upon this issue. What you asked perhaps how to get the last ID of a certain model regardless of it's state, whether it's just been inserted or not. To further understand what getInsertID does, we need to take a look at the source:

Link 1: http://api20.cakephp.org/view_source/model#line-3375

public function getInsertID() {
  return $this->_insertID
}

Yup, that's the only piece of code inside that function. It means that cakephp caches any last inserted ID, instead of retrieve it from the database. That's why you get nothing if you use that function when you haven't done any record creation on the model.

I made a small function to get the last ID of a certain table, but please note that this should not be used as a replacement of getLastID() or getLastInsertID(), since it has an entirely different purpose.

Add the function lastID() to the AppModel as shown below so that it can be used system wide. It has it's limit, which can't be used on model with composite primary key.

class AppModel extends Model {
  public function lastID() {
    $data = $this->find('first', 
      array(
        'order' => array($this->primaryKey . ' DESC'),
        'fields' => array($this->primaryKey)
      )
    );

    return $data[$this->name][$this->primaryKey];
  }
}

How do I properly force a Git push?

This was our solution for replacing master on a corporate gitHub repository while maintaining history.

push -f to master on corporate repositories is often disabled to maintain branch history. This solution worked for us.

git fetch desiredOrigin
git checkout -b master desiredOrigin/master // get origin master

git checkout currentBranch  // move to target branch
git merge -s ours master  // merge using ours over master
// vim will open for the commit message
git checkout master  // move to master
git merge currentBranch  // merge resolved changes into master

push your branch to desiredOrigin and create a PR

How to make blinking/flashing text with CSS 3

Alternatively if you do not want a gradual transition between show and hide (e.g. a blinking text cursor) you could use something like:

/* Also use prefixes with @keyframes and animation to support current browsers */
@keyframes blinker {  
  from { visibility: visible }
  to { visibility: hidden }

  /* Alternatively you can do this:  
  0% { visibility: visible; }
  50% { visibility: hidden; }
  100% { visibility: visible; }
  if you don't want to use `alternate` */
}
.cursor {
  animation: blinker steps(1) 500ms infinite alternate;
}

Every 1s .cursor will go from visible to hidden.

If CSS animation is not supported (e.g. in some versions of Safari) you can fallback to this simple JS interval:

(function(){
  var show = 'visible'; // state var toggled by interval
  var time = 500; // milliseconds between each interval

  setInterval(function() {
    // Toggle our visible state on each interval
    show = (show === 'hidden') ? 'visible' : 'hidden';

    // Get the cursor elements
    var cursors = document.getElementsByClassName('cursor');
    // We could do this outside the interval callback,
    // but then it wouldn't be kept in sync with the DOM

    // Loop through the cursor elements and update them to the current state
    for (var i = 0; i < cursors.length; i++) {
      cursors[i].style.visibility = show;
    }
  }, time);
})()

This simple JavaScript is actually very fast and in many cases may even be a better default than the CSS. It's worth noting that it is lots of DOM calls that make JS animations slow (e.g. JQuery's $.animate()).

It also has the second advantage that if you add .cursor elements later, they will still animate at exactly the same time as other .cursors since the state is shared, this is impossible with CSS as far as I am aware.

How to change node.js's console font color?

2017:

Simple way, adding time color to the message, you don't need to change your code, use keep your console.log('msg') or console.err('error')

var clc = require("cli-color");
var mapping = {
  log: clc.blue,
  warn: clc.yellow,
  error: clc.red
};

["log", "warn", "error"].forEach(function(method) {
  var oldMethod = console[method].bind(console);
  console[method] = function() {
    oldMethod.apply(
      console,
      [mapping[method](new Date().toISOString())]
      .concat(arguments)
    );
  };
});

Parsing JSON Array within JSON Object

Your code is fine, just replace the following line:

with this line:

JSONArray jsonMainArr = mainJSON.getJSONArray("source");

jQuery change event on dropdown

Please change your javascript function as like below....

$(function () {
        $("#projectKey").change(function () {
            alert($('option:selected').text());
        });
    });

You do not need to use $(this) in alert.

Accessing member of base class

You are incorrectly using the super and this keyword. Here is an example of how they work:

class Animal {
    public name: string;
    constructor(name: string) { 
        this.name = name;
    }
    move(meters: number) {
        console.log(this.name + " moved " + meters + "m.");
    }
}

class Horse extends Animal {
    move() {
        console.log(super.name + " is Galloping...");
        console.log(this.name + " is Galloping...");
        super.move(45);
    }
}

var tom: Animal = new Horse("Tommy the Palomino");

Animal.prototype.name = 'horseee'; 

tom.move(34);
// Outputs:

// horseee is Galloping...
// Tommy the Palomino is Galloping...
// Tommy the Palomino moved 45m.

Explanation:

  1. The first log outputs super.name, this refers to the prototype chain of the object tom, not the object tom self. Because we have added a name property on the Animal.prototype, horseee will be outputted.
  2. The second log outputs this.name, the this keyword refers to the the tom object itself.
  3. The third log is logged using the move method of the Animal base class. This method is called from Horse class move method with the syntax super.move(45);. Using the super keyword in this context will look for a move method on the prototype chain which is found on the Animal prototype.

Remember TS still uses prototypes under the hood and the class and extends keywords are just syntactic sugar over prototypical inheritance.

Best practice to run Linux service as a different user

On Debian we use the start-stop-daemon utility, which handles pid-files, changing the user, putting the daemon into background and much more.

I'm not familiar with RedHat, but the daemon utility that you are already using (which is defined in /etc/init.d/functions, btw.) is mentioned everywhere as the equivalent to start-stop-daemon, so either it can also change the uid of your program, or the way you do it is already the correct one.

If you look around the net, there are several ready-made wrappers that you can use. Some may even be already packaged in RedHat. Have a look at daemonize, for example.

Laravel Rule Validation for Numbers

Also, there was just a typo in your original post.

'min:2|max5' should have been 'min:2|max:5'.
Notice the ":" for the "max" rule.

What does `unsigned` in MySQL mean and when to use it?

MySQL says:

All integer types can have an optional (nonstandard) attribute UNSIGNED. Unsigned type can be used to permit only nonnegative numbers in a column or when you need a larger upper numeric range for the column. For example, if an INT column is UNSIGNED, the size of the column's range is the same but its endpoints shift from -2147483648 and 2147483647 up to 0 and 4294967295.

When do I use it ?

Ask yourself this question: Will this field ever contain a negative value?
If the answer is no, then you want an UNSIGNED data type.

A common mistake is to use a primary key that is an auto-increment INT starting at zero, yet the type is SIGNED, in that case you’ll never touch any of the negative numbers and you are reducing the range of possible id's to half.

How can I insert data into Database Laravel?

The error MethodNotAllowedHttpException means the route exists, but the HTTP method (GET) is wrong. You have to change it to POST:

Route::post('test/register', array('uses'=>'TestController@create'));

Also, you need to hash your passwords:

public function create()
{
    $user = new User;

    $user->username = Input::get('username');
    $user->email = Input::get('email');
    $user->password = Hash::make(Input::get('password'));
    $user->save();

    return Redirect::back();
}

And I removed the line:

$user= Input::all();

Because in the next command you replace its contents with

$user = new User;

To debug your Input, you can, in the first line of your controller:

dd( Input::all() );

It will display all fields in the input.

using mailto to send email with an attachment

If you are using c# on the desktop, you can use SimpleMapi. That way it will be sent using the default mail client, and the user has the option of reviewing the message before sending, just like mailto:.

To use it you add the Simple-MAPI.NET package (it's 13Kb), and run:

var mapi = new SimpleMapi();
mapi.AddRecipient(null, address, false);
mapi.Attach(path);
//mapi.Logon(ParentForm.Handle);    //not really necessary
mapi.Send(subject, body, true);

How do Python functions handle the types of the parameters that you pass in?

Python doesn't care what you pass in to its functions. When you call my_func(a,b), the param1 and param2 variables will then hold the values of a and b. Python doesn't know that you are calling the function with the proper types, and expects the programmer to take care of that. If your function will be called with different types of parameters, you can wrap code accessing them with try/except blocks and evaluate the parameters in whatever way you want.

JSON Java 8 LocalDateTime format in Spring Boot

How to set selected index JComboBox by value

You should use model

comboBox.getModel().setSelectedItem(object);

Two decimal places using printf( )

Use: "%.2f" or variations on that.

See the POSIX spec for an authoritative specification of the printf() format strings. Note that it separates POSIX extras from the core C99 specification. There are some C++ sites which show up in a Google search, but some at least have a dubious reputation, judging from comments seen elsewhere on SO.

Since you're coding in C++, you should probably be avoiding printf() and its relatives.

How to force a checkbox and text on the same line?

It wont break if you wrap each item in a div. Check out my fiddle with the link below. I made the width of the fieldset 125px and made each item 50px wide. You'll see the label and checkbox remain side by side on a new line and don't break.

<fieldset>
<div class="item">
    <input type="checkbox" id="a">
    <label for="a">a</label>
</div>
<div class="item">
   <input type="checkbox" id="b">
<!-- depending on width, a linebreak can occur here. -->
    <label for="b">bgf bh fhg fdg hg dg gfh dfgh</label>
</div>
<div class="item">
    <input type="checkbox" id="c">
    <label for="c">c</label>

Calculating powers of integers

Guava's math libraries offer two methods that are useful when calculating exact integer powers:

pow(int b, int k) calculates b to the kth the power, and wraps on overflow

checkedPow(int b, int k) is identical except that it throws ArithmeticException on overflow

Personally checkedPow() meets most of my needs for integer exponentiation and is cleaner and safter than using the double versions and rounding, etc. In almost all the places I want a power function, overflow is an error (or impossible, but I want to be told if the impossible ever becomes possible).

If you want get a long result, you can just use the corresponding LongMath methods and pass int arguments.

How to change Maven local repository in eclipse

I found that even after following all the steps above, I was still getting errors saying that my Maven dependencies (i.e. pom.xml) were pointing to jar files that didn't exist.

Viewing the errors in the Problems tab, for some reason these were still pointing to the old location of my repository. This was probably because I'd changed the location of my Maven repository since creating the workspace and project.

This can be easily solved by deleting the project from the Eclipse workspace, and re-adding it again through Package Explorer -> R/Click -> Import... -> Existing Projects.

How to build minified and uncompressed bundle with webpack?

To add another answer, the flag -p (short for --optimize-minimize) will enable the UglifyJS with default arguments.

You won't get a minified and raw bundle out of a single run or generate differently named bundles so the -p flag may not meet your use case.

Conversely the -d option is short for --debug --devtool sourcemap --output-pathinfo

My webpack.config.js omits devtool, debug, pathinfo, and the minmize plugin in favor of these two flags.

Referencing another schema in Mongoose

Late reply, but adding that Mongoose also has the concept of Subdocuments

With this syntax, you should be able to reference your userSchema as a type in your postSchema like so:

var userSchema = new Schema({
    twittername: String,
    twitterID: Number,
    displayName: String,
    profilePic: String,
});

var postSchema = new Schema({
    name: String,
    postedBy: userSchema,
    dateCreated: Date,
    comments: [{body:"string", by: mongoose.Schema.Types.ObjectId}],
});

Note the updated postedBy field with type userSchema.

This will embed the user object within the post, saving an extra lookup required by using a reference. Sometimes this could be preferable, other times the ref/populate route might be the way to go. Depends on what your application is doing.

JRE 1.7 - java version - returns: java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object

You are most probably missing a file called rt.jar in your installation which has the class file for java.lang.Object. Check your install files etc.

In particular, note that a 64-bit intsaller overlays (or installs "next to") an existing 32-bit installation. In other words, to get a fully working 64-bit installation, you must first run the 32-bit installation, and follow that up with a 64-bit installation if you have a 64bit capable machine...

If instead you do just a 64-bit installation you will be missing certain files in the installation and will get errors such as the one above.

Is the size of C "int" 2 bytes or 4 bytes?

I know it's equal to sizeof(int). The size of an int is really compiler dependent. Back in the day, when processors were 16 bit, an int was 2 bytes. Nowadays, it's most often 4 bytes on a 32-bit as well as 64-bit systems.

Still, using sizeof(int) is the best way to get the size of an integer for the specific system the program is executed on.

EDIT: Fixed wrong statement that int is 8 bytes on most 64-bit systems. For example, it is 4 bytes on 64-bit GCC.

Are the decimal places in a CSS width respected?

If it's a percentage width, then yes, it is respected. As Martin pointed out, things break down when you get to fractional pixels, but if your percentage values yield integer pixel value (e.g. 50.5% of 200px in the example) you'll get sensible, expected behaviour.

Edit: I've updated the example to show what happens to fractional pixels (in Chrome the values are truncated, so 50, 50.5 and 50.6 all show the same width).

Linq to SQL .Sum() without group ... into

Try:

itemsCard.ToList().Select(c=>c.Price).Sum();

Actually this would perform better:

var itemsInCart = from o in db.OrderLineItems
              where o.OrderId == currentOrder.OrderId
              select new { o.WishListItem.Price };
var sum = itemsCard.ToList().Select(c=>c.Price).Sum();

Because you'll only be retrieving one column from the database.

ComboBox- SelectionChanged event has old value, not new value

If you really need the SelectionChanged event, then the best answer is SwDevMan81's answer. However, if you are starting with WPF, then you might want to learn how to do things the WPF way, which is different than the old Windows Forms days that used to rely on events like SelectionChanged, with WPF and Model View ViewModel pattern, you should use bindings. Here is a code example:

// In the Views folder: /Views/MyWindow.xaml:
// ...
<ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding MyViewModel.MyProperties, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=Window}}"
         SelectedItem="{Binding MyViewModel.MyProperty  , RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType=Window}}" />
// ...



// In the Views folder: /Views/MyWindow.xaml.cs:
public partial class MyWindow : Window
{
    public  MyViewModelClass MyViewModel {
        get { return _viewModel; }
        private set { _viewModel = value;}
    }

    public MyWindow()
    {
        MyViewModel.PropertyChanged += MyViewModel_PropertyChanged;

    }

    void MyViewModel_PropertyChanged(object sender, System.ComponentModel.PropertyChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.PropertyName == "MyProperty")
        {
            // Do Work
            // Put your logic here!
        }
    }
}

using System.ComponentModel;

// In your ViewModel folder: /ViewModels/MyViewModelClass.cs:
public class MyViewModelClass : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
    // INotifyPropertyChanged implementation:
    private void NotifyPropertyChanged(string propertyName = "") { if (PropertyChanged != null) { PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName)); } }
    public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;

    // Selected option:
    private string _myProperty;
    public  string  MyProperty {
        get { return _myProperty; }
        set { _myProperty = value; NotifyPropertyChanged("MyProperty"); }
    }

    // Available options:
    private List<string> _myProperties;
    public  List<string>  MyProperties {
        get { return _myProperties; }
        set { _myProperties = value; NotifyPropertyChanged("MyProperties"); }
    }

}

UL or DIV vertical scrollbar

You need to define height of ul or your div and set overflow equals to auto as below:

<ul style="width: 300px; height: 200px; overflow: auto">
  <li>text</li>
  <li>text</li>

How do I scroll to an element within an overflowed Div?

I write these 2 functions to make my life easier:

function scrollToTop(elem, parent, speed) {
    var scrollOffset = parent.scrollTop() + elem.offset().top;
    parent.animate({scrollTop:scrollOffset}, speed);
    // parent.scrollTop(scrollOffset, speed);
}

function scrollToCenter(elem, parent, speed) {
    var elOffset = elem.offset().top;
    var elHeight = elem.height();
    var parentViewTop = parent.offset().top;
    var parentHeight = parent.innerHeight();
    var offset;

    if (elHeight >= parentHeight) {
        offset = elOffset;
    } else {
        margin = (parentHeight - elHeight)/2;
        offset = elOffset - margin;
    }

    var scrollOffset = parent.scrollTop() + offset - parentViewTop;

    parent.animate({scrollTop:scrollOffset}, speed);
    // parent.scrollTop(scrollOffset, speed);
}

And use them:

scrollToTop($innerListItem, $parentDiv, 200);
// or
scrollToCenter($innerListItem, $parentDiv, 200);

Case Statement Equivalent in R

There is a switch statement but I can never seem to get it to work the way I think it should. Since you have not provided an example I will make one using a factor variable:

 dft <-data.frame(x = sample(letters[1:8], 20, replace=TRUE))
 levels(dft$x)
[1] "a" "b" "c" "d" "e" "f" "g" "h"

If you specify the categories you want in an order appropriate to the reassignment you can use the factor or numeric variables as an index:

c("abc", "abc", "abc", "def", "def", "def", "g", "h")[dft$x]
 [1] "def" "h"   "g"   "def" "def" "abc" "h"   "h"   "def" "abc" "abc" "abc" "h"   "h"   "abc"
[16] "def" "abc" "abc" "def" "def"

dft$y <- c("abc", "abc", "abc", "def", "def", "def", "g", "h")[dft$x] str(dft)
'data.frame':   20 obs. of  2 variables:
 $ x: Factor w/ 8 levels "a","b","c","d",..: 4 8 7 4 6 1 8 8 5 2 ...
 $ y: chr  "def" "h" "g" "def" ...

I later learned that there really are two different switch functions. It's not generic function but you should think about it as either switch.numeric or switch.character. If your first argument is an R 'factor', you get switch.numeric behavior, which is likely to cause problems, since most people see factors displayed as character and make the incorrect assumption that all functions will process them as such.

How can I use pointers in Java?

Technically, all Java objects are pointers. All primitive types are values though. There is no way to take manual control of those pointers. Java just internally uses pass-by-reference.

How to fill DataTable with SQL Table

You can fill your data table like the below code.I am also fetching the connections at runtime using a predefined XML file that has all the connection.

  public static DataTable Execute_Query(string connection, string query)
    {
        Logger.Info("Execute Query has been called for connection " + connection);
        connection = "Data Source=" + Connections.run_singlevalue(connection, "server") + ";Initial Catalog=" + Connections.run_singlevalue(connection, "database") + ";User ID=" + Connections.run_singlevalue(connection, "username") + ";Password=" + Connections.run_singlevalue(connection, "password") + ";Connection Timeout=30;";
        DataTable dt = new DataTable();
        try
        {
            using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(connection))
            {
                using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(query, con))
                {
                    con.Open();

Create MSI or setup project with Visual Studio 2012

Microsoft has listened to the cry for supporting installers (MSI) in Visual Studio and released the Visual Studio Installer Projects Extension. You can now create installers in Visual Studio 2013; download the extension here from the visualstudiogallery.

Linq on DataTable: select specific column into datatable, not whole table

Your select statement is returning a sequence of anonymous type , not a sequence of DataRows. CopyToDataTable() is only available on IEnumerable<T> where T is or derives from DataRow. You can select r the row object to call CopyToDataTable on it.

var query = from r in matrix.AsEnumerable()
                where r.Field<string>("c_to") == c_to &&
                      r.Field<string>("p_to") == p_to
                 select r;

DataTable conversions = query.CopyToDataTable();

You can also implement CopyToDataTable Where the Generic Type T Is Not a DataRow.

What is the difference between Python and IPython?

Compared to Python, IPython (created by Fernando Perez in 2001) can do every thing what python can do. Ipython provides even extra features like tab-completion, testing, debugging, system calls and many other features. You can think IPython as a powerful interface to the Python language.

You can install Ipython using pip - pip install ipython

You can run Ipython by typing ipython in your terminal window.

Which Protocols are used for PING?

The usual command line ping tool uses ICMP Echo, but it's true that other protocols can also be used, and they're useful in debugging different kinds of network problems.

I can remember at least arping (for testing ARP requests) and tcping (which tries to establish a TCP connection and immediately closes it, it can be used to check if traffic reaches a certain port on a host) off the top of my head, but I'm sure there are others aswell.

Real differences between "java -server" and "java -client"?

One difference I've just noticed is that in "client" mode, it seems the JVM actually gives some unused memory back to the operating system, whereas with "server" mode, once the JVM grabs the memory, it won't give it back. Thats how it appears on Solaris with Java6 anyway (using prstat -Z to see the amount of memory allocated to a process).

How to find event listeners on a DOM node when debugging or from the JavaScript code?

If you have Firebug, you can use console.dir(object or array) to print a nice tree in the console log of any JavaScript scalar, array, or object.

Try:

console.dir(clickEvents);

or

console.dir(window);

Difference between Activity and FragmentActivity

A FragmentActivity is a subclass of Activity that was built for the Android Support Package.

The FragmentActivity class adds a couple new methods to ensure compatibility with older versions of Android, but other than that, there really isn't much of a difference between the two. Just make sure you change all calls to getLoaderManager() and getFragmentManager() to getSupportLoaderManager() and getSupportFragmentManager() respectively.

What is so bad about singletons?

Here is one more thing about singletons which nobody said yet.

In most cases "singletonity" is a detail of implementation for some class rather than characteristic of its interface. Inversion of Control Container may hide this characteristic from class users; you just need to mark your class as a singleton (with @Singleton annotation in Java for example) and that's it; IoCC will do the rest. You don't need to provide global access to your singleton instance because the access is already managed by IoCC. Thus there is nothing wrong with IoC Singletons.

GoF Singletons in opposite to IoC Singletons are supposed to expose "singletonity" in the interface through getInstance() method, and so that they suffer from everything said above.

How do I "select Android SDK" in Android Studio?

For these who are suffering this problem, I suggest you do a clean install ( delete any existing settings and files of prior installations ). Don't waste time to fix the problem. I am searching the answer for android studio 3.6.3 with no result.

Remove Primary Key in MySQL

One Line:

ALTER TABLE  `user_customer_permission` DROP PRIMARY KEY , ADD PRIMARY KEY (  `id` )

You will also not lose the auto-increment and have to re-add it which could have side-effects.

Cassandra "no viable alternative at input"

Wrong syntax. Here you are:

insert into user_by_category (game_category,customer_id) VALUES ('Goku','12');

or:

insert into user_by_category ("game_category","customer_id") VALUES ('Kakarot','12');

The second one is normally used for case-sensitive column names.

Failed to resolve: com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.+ (Dependency Error)

If you are using Android Studio 3.0 or above make sure your project build.gradle should have content similar to-

buildscript {                 
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {            
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1'

    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
}

Note- position really matters add google() before jcenter()

And for below Android Studio 3.0 and starting from support libraries 26.+ your project build.gradle must look like this-

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        maven {

Increasing heap space in Eclipse: (java.lang.OutOfMemoryError)

I am not pro in Java but your problem can be solved by "blockingqueue" if you use it wisely.

Try to retrieve a chunk of records first, process them, and iterate the process until you complete your processing. This may help you to get rid of the OutOfMemory Exceptions.

How to create circular ProgressBar in android?

Creating a DateTime in a specific Time Zone in c#

The DateTimeOffset structure was created for exactly this type of use.

See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.datetimeoffset.aspx

Here's an example of creating a DateTimeOffset object with a specific time zone:

DateTimeOffset do1 = new DateTimeOffset(2008, 8, 22, 1, 0, 0, new TimeSpan(-5, 0, 0));

JPA Criteria API - How to add JOIN clause (as general sentence as possible)

Actually you don't have to deal with the static metamodel if you had your annotations right.

With the following entities :

@Entity
public class Pet {
  @Id
  protected Long id;
  protected String name;
  protected String color;
  @ManyToOne
  protected Set<Owner> owners;
}

@Entity
public class Owner {
  @Id
  protected Long id;
  protected String name;
}

You can use this :

CriteriaQuery<Pet> cq = cb.createQuery(Pet.class);
Metamodel m = em.getMetamodel();
EntityType<Pet> petMetaModel = m.entity(Pet.class);

Root<Pet> pet = cq.from(Pet.class);
Join<Pet, Owner> owner = pet.join(petMetaModel.getSet("owners", Owner.class));

How can I sort a std::map first by value, then by key?

std::map will sort its elements by keys. It doesn't care about the values when sorting.

You can use std::vector<std::pair<K,V>> then sort it using std::sort followed by std::stable_sort:

std::vector<std::pair<K,V>> items;

//fill items

//sort by value using std::sort
std::sort(items.begin(), items.end(), value_comparer);

//sort by key using std::stable_sort
std::stable_sort(items.begin(), items.end(), key_comparer);

The first sort should use std::sort since it is nlog(n), and then use std::stable_sort which is n(log(n))^2 in the worst case.

Note that while std::sort is chosen for performance reason, std::stable_sort is needed for correct ordering, as you want the order-by-value to be preserved.


@gsf noted in the comment, you could use only std::sort if you choose a comparer which compares values first, and IF they're equal, sort the keys.

auto cmp = [](std::pair<K,V> const & a, std::pair<K,V> const & b) 
{ 
     return a.second != b.second?  a.second < b.second : a.first < b.first;
};
std::sort(items.begin(), items.end(), cmp);

That should be efficient.

But wait, there is a better approach: store std::pair<V,K> instead of std::pair<K,V> and then you don't need any comparer at all — the standard comparer for std::pair would be enough, as it compares first (which is V) first then second which is K:

std::vector<std::pair<V,K>> items;
//...
std::sort(items.begin(), items.end());

That should work great.

Is there a JSON equivalent of XQuery/XPath?

Json Pointer seem's to be getting growing support too.

What's the difference between an argument and a parameter?

Yes! Parameters and Arguments have different meanings, which can be easily explained as follows:

Function Parameters are the names listed in the function definition.

Function Arguments are the real values passed to (and received by) the function.

How to trim leading and trailing white spaces of a string?

Just as @Kabeer has mentioned, you can use TrimSpace and here is an example from golang documentation:

package main

    "fmt"
    "strings"
)

func main() {
    fmt.Println(strings.TrimSpace(" \t\n Hello, Gophers \n\t\r\n"))
}

How to set a default Value of a UIPickerView

TL:DR version:

//Objective-C
[self.picker selectRow:2 inComponent:0 animated:YES];
//Swift
picker.selectRow(2, inComponent:0, animated:true)

Either you didn't set your picker to select the row (which you say you seem to have done but anyhow):

- (void)selectRow:(NSInteger)row inComponent:(NSInteger)component animated:(BOOL)animated

OR you didn't use the the following method to get the selected item from your picker

- (NSInteger)selectedRowInComponent:(NSInteger)component

This will get the selected row as Integer from your picker and do as you please with it. This should do the trick for yah. Good luck.

Anyhow read the ref: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uipickerview


EDIT:

An example of manually setting and getting of a selected row in a UIPickerView:

the .h file:

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface ViewController : UIViewController <UIPickerViewDelegate, UIPickerViewDataSource>
{
    UIPickerView *picker;
    NSMutableArray *source;
}

@property (nonatomic,retain) UIPickerView *picker;
@property (nonatomic,retain) NSMutableArray *source;

    [self.view addSubview:self.picker];

    //This is how you manually SET(!!) a selection!
    [self.picker selectRow:2 inComponent:0 animated:YES];
}

//logs the current selection of the picker manually
-(void)pressed
{
    //This is how you manually GET(!!) a selection
    int row = [self.picker selectedRowInComponent:0];

    NSLog(@"%@", [source objectAtIndex:row]);

}

@end

EDIT for Swift solution (Source: Dan Beaulieu's answer)

Define an Outlet:

@IBOutlet weak var pickerView: UIPickerView!  // for example

Then in your viewWillAppear or your viewDidLoad, for example, you can use the following:

pickerView.selectRow(rowMin, inComponent: 0, animated: true)
pickerView.selectRow(rowSec, inComponent: 1, animated: true)

If you inspect the Swift 2.0 framework you'll see .selectRow defined as:

func selectRow(row: Int, inComponent component: Int, animated: Bool) 

option clicking .selectRow in Xcode displays the following:

Jquery Ajax beforeSend and success,error & complete

It's actually much easier with jQuery's promise API:

$.ajax(
            type: "GET",
            url: requestURL,
        ).then((success) =>
            console.dir(success)
        ).failure((failureResponse) =>
            console.dir(failureResponse)
        )

Alternatively, you can pass in of bind functions to each result callback; the order of parameters is: (success, failure). So long as you specify a function with at least 1 parameter, you get access to the response. So, for example, if you wanted to check the response text, you could simply do:

$.ajax(
            type: "GET",
            url: @get("url") + "logout",
            beforeSend: (xhr) -> xhr.setRequestHeader("token", currentToken)
        ).failure((response) -> console.log "Request was unauthorized" if response.status is 401

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

A view represents a virtual table. You can join multiple tables in a view and use the view to present the data as if the data were coming from a single table.

A stored procedure uses parameters to do a function... whether it is updating and inserting data, or returning single values or data sets.

Creating Views and Stored Procedures - has some information from Microsoft as to when and why to use each.

Say I have two tables:

  • tbl_user, with columns: user_id, user_name, user_pw
  • tbl_profile, with columns: profile_id, user_id, profile_description

So, if I find myself querying from those tables A LOT... instead of doing the join in EVERY piece of SQL, I would define a view like:

CREATE VIEW vw_user_profile
AS
  SELECT A.user_id, B.profile_description
  FROM tbl_user A LEFT JOIN tbl_profile B ON A.user_id = b.user_id
GO

Thus, if I want to query profile_description by user_id in the future, all I have to do is:

SELECT profile_description FROM vw_user_profile WHERE user_id = @ID

That code could be used in a stored procedure like:

CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.getDesc
    @ID int
AS
BEGIN
    SELECT profile_description FROM vw_user_profile WHERE user_id = @ID
END
GO

So, later on, I can call:

dbo.getDesc 25

and I will get the description for user_id 25, where the 25 is your parameter.

There is obviously a lot more detail, this is just the basic idea.

How to center cards in bootstrap 4?

i basically suggest equal gap on right and left, and setting width to auto. Here like:

.bmi {         /*my additional class name -for card*/

    margin-right: 18%;
    width: auto;
}

How to build splash screen in windows forms application?

The other answers here cover this well, but it is worth knowing that there is built in functionality for splash screens in Visual Studio: If you open the project properties for the windows form app and look at the Application tab, there is a "Splash screen:" option at the bottom. You simply pick which form in your app you want to display as the splash screen and it will take care of showing it when the app starts and hiding it once your main form is displayed.

You still need to set up your form as described above (with the correct borders, positioning, sizing etc.)

Converting between datetime, Timestamp and datetime64

Some solutions work well for me but numpy will deprecate some parameters. The solution that work better for me is to read the date as a pandas datetime and excract explicitly the year, month and day of a pandas object. The following code works for the most common situation.

def format_dates(dates):
    dt = pd.to_datetime(dates)
    try: return [datetime.date(x.year, x.month, x.day) for x in dt]    
    except TypeError: return datetime.date(dt.year, dt.month, dt.day)

Node package ( Grunt ) installed but not available

There is one more way to run grunt on windows, without adding anything globally. This is a case when you don't have to do anything with %PATH%

if you have grunt and grunt-cli installed (without -g switch). Either by:

npm install grunt-cli
npm install [email protected]

Or by having that in your packages.json file like:

"devDependencies": {
    "grunt-cli": "^1.2.0",
    "grunt": "^0.4.5",

You can call grunt from your local installation by:

node node_modules\grunt-cli\bin\grunt --version

This is a solution for those who for some reasons don't want to or can't play with PATH, or have something else messing it all the time, for instance on a build agent.

Edit: Added versions as the grunt-cli works with grunt > 0.3

How to kill a running SELECT statement

As you keep getting pages of results I'm assuming you started the session in SQL*Plus. If so, the easy thing to do is to bash ctrl + break many, many times until it stops.

The more complicated and the more generic way(s) I detail below in order of increasing ferocity / evil. The first one will probably work for you but if it doesn't you can keep moving down the list.

Most of these are not recommended and can have unintended consequences.


1. Oracle level - Kill the process in the database

As per ObiWanKenobi's answer and the ALTER SESSION documentation

alter system kill session 'sid,serial#';

To find the sid, session id, and the serial#, serial number, run the following query - summarised from OracleBase - and find your session:

select s.sid, s.serial#, p.spid, s.username, s.schemaname
     , s.program, s.terminal, s.osuser
  from v$session s
  join v$process p
    on s.paddr = p.addr
 where s.type != 'BACKGROUND'

If you're running a RAC then you need to change this slightly to take into account the multiple instances, inst_id is what identifies them:

select s.inst_id, s.sid, s.serial#, p.spid, s.username
     , s.schemaname, s.program, s.terminal, s.osuser
  from Gv$session s
  join Gv$process p
    on s.paddr = p.addr
   and s.inst_id = p.inst_id
 where s.type != 'BACKGROUND'

This query would also work if you're not running a RAC.

If you're using a tool like PL/SQL Developer then the sessions window will also help you find it.

For a slightly stronger "kill" you can specify the IMMEDIATE keyword, which instructs the database to not wait for the transaction to complete:

alter system kill session 'sid,serial#' immediate;

2. OS level - Issue a SIGTERM

kill pid

This assumes you're using Linux or another *nix variant. A SIGTERM is a terminate signal from the operating system to the specific process asking it to stop running. It tries to let the process terminate gracefully.

Getting this wrong could result in you terminating essential OS processes so be careful when typing.

You can find the pid, process id, by running the following query, which'll also tell you useful information like the terminal the process is running from and the username that's running it so you can ensure you pick the correct one.

select p.*
  from v$process p
  left outer join v$session s
    on p.addr = s.paddr
 where s.sid = ?
   and s.serial# = ?

Once again, if you're running a RAC you need to change this slightly to:

select p.*
  from Gv$process p
  left outer join Gv$session s
    on p.addr = s.paddr
 where s.sid = ?
   and s.serial# = ?

Changing the where clause to where s.status = 'KILLED' will help you find already killed process that are still "running".

3. OS - Issue a SIGKILL

kill -9 pid

Using the same pid you picked up in 2, a SIGKILL is a signal from the operating system to a specific process that causes the process to terminate immediately. Once again be careful when typing.

This should rarely be necessary. If you were doing DML or DDL it will stop any rollback being processed and may make it difficult to recover the database to a consistent state in the event of failure.

All the remaining options will kill all sessions and result in your database - and in the case of 6 and 7 server as well - becoming unavailable. They should only be used if absolutely necessary...

4. Oracle - Shutdown the database

shutdown immediate

This is actually politer than a SIGKILL, though obviously it acts on all processes in the database rather than your specific process. It's always good to be polite to your database.

Shutting down the database should only be done with the consent of your DBA, if you have one. It's nice to tell the people who use the database as well.

It closes the database, terminating all sessions and does a rollback on all uncommitted transactions. It can take a while if you have large uncommitted transactions that need to be rolled back.

5. Oracle - Shutdown the database ( the less nice way )

shutdown abort

This is approximately the same as a SIGKILL, though once again on all processes in the database. It's a signal to the database to stop everything immediately and die - a hard crash. It terminates all sessions and does no rollback; because of this it can mean that the database takes longer to startup again. Despite the incendiary language a shutdown abort isn't pure evil and can normally be used safely.

As before inform people the relevant people first.

6. OS - Reboot the server

reboot

Obviously, this not only stops the database but the server as well so use with caution and with the consent of your sysadmins in addition to the DBAs, developers, clients and users.

7. OS - The last stage

I've had reboot not work... Once you've reached this stage you better hope you're using a VM. We ended up deleting it...

Can a Byte[] Array be written to a file in C#?

Based on the first sentence of the question: "I'm trying to write out a Byte[] array representing a complete file to a file."

The path of least resistance would be:

File.WriteAllBytes(string path, byte[] bytes)

Documented here:

System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes - MSDN

Given two directory trees, how can I find out which files differ by content?

I like to use git diff --no-index dir1/ dir2/, because it can show the differences in color (if you have that option set in your git config) and because it shows all of the differences in a long paged output using "less".

Check if bash variable equals 0

Double parenthesis (( ... )) is used for arithmetic operations.

Double square brackets [[ ... ]] can be used to compare and examine numbers (only integers are supported), with the following operators:

· NUM1 -eq NUM2 returns true if NUM1 and NUM2 are numerically equal.

· NUM1 -ne NUM2 returns true if NUM1 and NUM2 are not numerically equal.

· NUM1 -gt NUM2 returns true if NUM1 is greater than NUM2.

· NUM1 -ge NUM2 returns true if NUM1 is greater than or equal to NUM2.

· NUM1 -lt NUM2 returns true if NUM1 is less than NUM2.

· NUM1 -le NUM2 returns true if NUM1 is less than or equal to NUM2.

For example

if [[ $age > 21 ]] # bad, > is a string comparison operator

if [ $age > 21 ] # bad, > is a redirection operator

if [[ $age -gt 21 ]] # okay, but fails if $age is not numeric

if (( $age > 21 )) # best, $ on age is optional

How to quickly edit values in table in SQL Server Management Studio?

Brendan is correct. You can edit the Select command to edit a filtered list of records. For instance "WHERE dept_no = 200".

Update a local branch with the changes from a tracked remote branch

You don't use the : syntax - pull always modifies the currently checked-out branch. Thus:

git pull origin my_remote_branch

while you have my_local_branch checked out will do what you want.

Since you already have the tracking branch set, you don't even need to specify - you could just do...

git pull

while you have my_local_branch checked out, and it will update from the tracked branch.

How to compare oldValues and newValues on React Hooks useEffect?

Since state isn't tightly coupled with component instance in functional components, previous state cannot be reached in useEffect without saving it first, for instance, with useRef. This also means that state update was possibly incorrectly implemented in wrong place because previous state is available inside setState updater function.

This is a good use case for useReducer which provides Redux-like store and allows to implement respective pattern. State updates are performed explicitly, so there's no need to figure out which state property is updated; this is already clear from dispatched action.

Here's an example what it may look like:

function reducer({ sendAmount, receiveAmount, rate }, action) {
  switch (action.type) {
    case "sendAmount":
      sendAmount = action.payload;
      return {
        sendAmount,
        receiveAmount: sendAmount * rate,
        rate
      };
    case "receiveAmount":
      receiveAmount = action.payload;
      return {
        sendAmount: receiveAmount / rate,
        receiveAmount,
        rate
      };
    case "rate":
      rate = action.payload;
      return {
        sendAmount: receiveAmount ? receiveAmount / rate : sendAmount,
        receiveAmount: sendAmount ? sendAmount * rate : receiveAmount,
        rate
      };
    default:
      throw new Error();
  }
}

function handleChange(e) {
  const { name, value } = e.target;
  dispatch({
    type: name,
    payload: value
  });
}

...
const [state, dispatch] = useReducer(reducer, {
  rate: 2,
  sendAmount: 0,
  receiveAmount: 0
});
...

What does jQuery.fn mean?

In jQuery, the fn property is just an alias to the prototype property.

The jQuery identifier (or $) is just a constructor function, and all instances created with it, inherit from the constructor's prototype.

A simple constructor function:

function Test() {
  this.a = 'a';
}
Test.prototype.b = 'b';

var test = new Test(); 
test.a; // "a", own property
test.b; // "b", inherited property

A simple structure that resembles the architecture of jQuery:

(function() {
  var foo = function(arg) { // core constructor
    // ensure to use the `new` operator
    if (!(this instanceof foo))
      return new foo(arg);
    // store an argument for this example
    this.myArg = arg;
    //..
  };

  // create `fn` alias to `prototype` property
  foo.fn = foo.prototype = {
    init: function () {/*...*/}
    //...
  };

  // expose the library
  window.foo = foo;
})();

// Extension:

foo.fn.myPlugin = function () {
  alert(this.myArg);
  return this; // return `this` for chainability
};

foo("bar").myPlugin(); // alerts "bar"

Way to go from recursion to iteration

Really, the most common way to do it is to keep your own stack. Here's a recursive quicksort function in C:

void quicksort(int* array, int left, int right)
{
    if(left >= right)
        return;

    int index = partition(array, left, right);
    quicksort(array, left, index - 1);
    quicksort(array, index + 1, right);
}

Here's how we could make it iterative by keeping our own stack:

void quicksort(int *array, int left, int right)
{
    int stack[1024];
    int i=0;

    stack[i++] = left;
    stack[i++] = right;

    while (i > 0)
    {
        right = stack[--i];
        left = stack[--i];

        if (left >= right)
             continue;

        int index = partition(array, left, right);
        stack[i++] = left;
        stack[i++] = index - 1;
        stack[i++] = index + 1;
        stack[i++] = right;
    }
}

Obviously, this example doesn't check stack boundaries... and really you could size the stack based on the worst case given left and and right values. But you get the idea.

jQuery: Uncheck other checkbox on one checked

$('.cw2').change(function () {
    if ($('input.cw2').filter(':checked').length >= 1) {
        $('input.cw2').not(this).prop('checked', false);
    }

How to INNER JOIN 3 tables using CodeIgniter

$this->db->select('*');    
$this->db->from('table1');
$this->db->join('table2', 'table1.id = table2.id', 'inner');
$this->db->join('table3', 'table1.id = table3.id', 'inner');
$this->db->where("table1", $id );
$query = $this->db->get();

Where you can specify which id should be viewed or select in specific table. You can also select which join portion either left, right, outer, inner, left outer, and right outer on the third parameter of join method.

Why can't I duplicate a slice with `copy()`?

The builtin copy(dst, src) copies min(len(dst), len(src)) elements.

So if your dst is empty (len(dst) == 0), nothing will be copied.

Try tmp := make([]int, len(arr)) (Go Playground):

arr := []int{1, 2, 3}
tmp := make([]int, len(arr))
copy(tmp, arr)
fmt.Println(tmp)
fmt.Println(arr)

Output (as expected):

[1 2 3]
[1 2 3]

Unfortunately this is not documented in the builtin package, but it is documented in the Go Language Specification: Appending to and copying slices:

The number of elements copied is the minimum of len(src) and len(dst).

Edit:

Finally the documentation of copy() has been updated and it now contains the fact that the minimum length of source and destination will be copied:

Copy returns the number of elements copied, which will be the minimum of len(src) and len(dst).

How can I open a .tex file?

A .tex file should be a LaTeX source file.

If this is the case, that file contains the source code for a LaTeX document. You can open it with any text editor (notepad, notepad++ should work) and you can view the source code. But if you want to view the final formatted document, you need to install a LaTeX distribution and compile the .tex file.

Of course, any program can write any file with any extension, so if this is not a LaTeX document, then we can't know what software you need to install to open it. Maybe if you upload the file somewhere and link it in your question we can see the file and provide more help to you.


Yes, this is the source code of a LaTeX document. If you were able to paste it here, then you are already viewing it. If you want to view the compiled document, you need to install a LaTeX distribution. You can try to install MiKTeX then you can use that to compile the document to a .pdf file.

You can also check out this question and answer for how to do it: How to compile a LaTeX document?

Also, there's an online LaTeX editor and you can paste your code in there to preview the document: https://www.overleaf.com/.

How do I pass multiple attributes into an Angular.js attribute directive?

If you "require" 'exampleDirective' from another directive + your logic is in 'exampleDirective's' controller (let's say 'exampleCtrl'):

app.directive('exampleDirective', function () {
    return {
        restrict: 'A',
        scope: false,
        bindToController: {
            myCallback: '&exampleFunction'
        },
        controller: 'exampleCtrl',
        controllerAs: 'vm'
    };
});
app.controller('exampleCtrl', function () {
    var vm = this;
    vm.myCallback();

Where to place $PATH variable assertions in zsh?

tl;dr version: use ~/.zshrc

And read the man page to understand the differences between:

~/.zshrc, ~/.zshenv and ~/.zprofile.


Regarding my comment

In my comment attached to the answer kev gave, I said:

This seems to be incorrect - /etc/profile isn't listed in any zsh documentation I can find.

This turns out to be partially incorrect: /etc/profile may be sourced by zsh. However, this only occurs if zsh is "invoked as sh or ksh"; in these compatibility modes:

The usual zsh startup/shutdown scripts are not executed. Login shells source /etc/profile followed by $HOME/.profile. If the ENV environment variable is set on invocation, $ENV is sourced after the profile scripts. The value of ENV is subjected to parameter expansion, command substitution, and arithmetic expansion before being interpreted as a pathname. [man zshall, "Compatibility"].

The ArchWiki ZSH link says:

At login, Zsh sources the following files in this order:
/etc/profile
This file is sourced by all Bourne-compatible shells upon login

This implys that /etc/profile is always read by zsh at login - I haven't got any experience with the Arch Linux project; the wiki may be correct for that distribution, but it is not generally correct. The information is incorrect compared to the zsh manual pages, and doesn't seem to apply to zsh on OS X (paths in $PATH set in /etc/profile do not make it to my zsh sessions).



To address the question:

where exactly should I be placing my rvm, python, node etc additions to my $PATH?

Generally, I would export my $PATH from ~/.zshrc, but it's worth having a read of the zshall man page, specifically the "STARTUP/SHUTDOWN FILES" section - ~/.zshrc is read for interactive shells, which may or may not suit your needs - if you want the $PATH for every zsh shell invoked by you (both interactive and not, both login and not, etc), then ~/.zshenv is a better option.

Is there a specific file I should be using (i.e. .zshenv which does not currently exist in my installation), one of the ones I am currently using, or does it even matter?

There's a bunch of files read on startup (check the linked man pages), and there's a reason for that - each file has it's particular place (settings for every user, settings for user-specific, settings for login shells, settings for every shell, etc).
Don't worry about ~/.zshenv not existing - if you need it, make it, and it will be read.

.bashrc and .bash_profile are not read by zsh, unless you explicitly source them from ~/.zshrc or similar; the syntax between bash and zsh is not always compatible. Both .bashrc and .bash_profile are designed for bash settings, not zsh settings.

MySQL, Check if a column exists in a table with SQL

I am using this simple script:

mysql_query("select $column from $table") or mysql_query("alter table $table add $column varchar (20)");

It works if you are already connected to the database.

Use of Application.DoEvents()

The DoEvents does allow the user to click around or type and trigger other events, and background threads are a better approach.

However, there are still cases where you may run into issues that require flushing event messages. I ran into a problem where the RichTextBox control was ignoring the ScrollToCaret() method when the control had messages in queue to process.

The following code blocks all user input while executing DoEvents:

using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace Integrative.Desktop.Common
{
    static class NativeMethods
    {
        #region Block input

        [DllImport("user32.dll", EntryPoint = "BlockInput")]
        [return: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Bool)]
        private static extern bool BlockInput([MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Bool)] bool fBlockIt);

        public static void HoldUser()
        {
            BlockInput(true);
        }

        public static void ReleaseUser()
        {
            BlockInput(false);
        }

        public static void DoEventsBlockingInput()
        {
            HoldUser();
            Application.DoEvents();
            ReleaseUser();
        }

        #endregion
    }
}

How does bitshifting work in Java?

Shift Operators

The binary 32 bits for 00101011 is

00000000 00000000 00000000 00101011, and the result is:

  00000000 00000000 00000000 00101011   >> 2(times)
 \\                                 \\
  00000000 00000000 00000000 00001010

Shifts the bits of 43 to right by distance 2; fills with highest(sign) bit on the left side.

Result is 00001010 with decimal value 10.

00001010
    8+2 = 10

Find length of 2D array Python

You can also use np.size(a,1), 1 here is the axis and this will give you the number of columns

Return list from async/await method

You need to correct your code to wait for the list to be downloaded:

List<Item> list = await GetListAsync();

Also, make sure that the method, where this code is located, has async modifier.

The reason why you get this error is that GetListAsync method returns a Task<T> which is not a completed result. As your list is downloaded asynchronously (because of Task.Run()) you need to "extract" the value from the task using the await keyword.

If you remove Task.Run(), you list will be downloaded synchronously and you don't need to use Task, async or await.

One more suggestion: you don't need to await in GetListAsync method if the only thing you do is just delegating the operation to a different thread, so you can shorten your code to the following:

private Task<List<Item>> GetListAsync(){
    return Task.Run(() => manager.GetList());
}

Passing dynamic javascript values using Url.action()

This answer might not be 100% relevant to the question. But it does address the problem. I found this simple way of achieving this requirement. Code goes below:

<a href="@Url.Action("Display", "Customer")?custId={{cust.Id}}"></a>

In the above example {{cust.Id}} is an AngularJS variable. However one can replace it with a JavaScript variable.

I haven't tried passing multiple variables using this method but I'm hopeful that also can be appended to the Url if required.

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

Another version of duck-typing to help distinguish string-like objects from other sequence-like objects.

The string representation of string-like objects is the string itself, so you can check if you get an equal object back from the str constructor:

# If a string was passed, convert it to a single-element sequence
if var == str(var):
    my_list = [var]

# All other iterables
else: 
    my_list = list(var)

This should work for all objects compatible with str and for all kinds of iterable objects.

Syntax for an If statement using a boolean

You can change the value of a bool all you want. As for an if:

if randombool == True:

works, but you can also use:

if randombool:

If you want to test whether something is false you can use:

if randombool == False

but you can also use:

if not randombool:

show validation error messages on submit in angularjs

I found this fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/thomporter/ANxmv/2/ which does a nifty trick to cause control validation.

Basically it declares a scope member submitted and sets it true when you click submit. The model error binding use this extra expression to show the error message like

submitted && form.email.$error.required

UPDATE

As pointed out in @Hafez's comment (give him some upvotes!), the Angular 1.3+ solution is simply:

form.$submitted && form.email.$error.required

What does "atomic" mean in programming?

If you have several threads executing the methods m1 and m2 in the code below:

class SomeClass {
    private int i = 0;

    public void m1() { i = 5; }
    public int m2() { return i; }
}

you have the guarantee that any thread calling m2 will either read 0 or 5.

On the other hand, with this code (where i is a long):

class SomeClass {
    private long i = 0;

    public void m1() { i = 1234567890L; }
    public long m2() { return i; }
}

a thread calling m2 could read 0, 1234567890L, or some other random value because the statement i = 1234567890L is not guaranteed to be atomic for a long (a JVM could write the first 32 bits and the last 32 bits in two operations and a thread might observe i in between).

Powershell: convert string to number

It seems the issue is in "-f ($_.Partition.Size/1GB)}}" If you want the value in MB then change the 1GB to 1MB.

Add st, nd, rd and th (ordinal) suffix to a number

I wanted to provide a functional answer to this question to complement the existing answer:

const ordinalSuffix = ['st', 'nd', 'rd']
const addSuffix = n => n + (ordinalSuffix[(n - 1) % 10] || 'th')
const numberToOrdinal = n => `${n}`.match(/1\d$/) ? n + 'th' : addSuffix(n)

we've created an array of the special values, the important thing to remember is arrays have a zero based index so ordinalSuffix[0] is equal to 'st'.

Our function numberToOrdinal checks if the number ends in a teen number in which case append the number with 'th' as all then numbers ordinals are 'th'. In the event that the number is not a teen we pass the number to addSuffix which adds the number to the ordinal which is determined by if the number minus 1 (because we're using a zero based index) mod 10 has a remainder of 2 or less it's taken from the array, otherwise it's 'th'.

sample output:

numberToOrdinal(1) // 1st
numberToOrdinal(2) // 2nd
numberToOrdinal(3) // 3rd
numberToOrdinal(4) // 4th
numberToOrdinal(5) // 5th
numberToOrdinal(6) // 6th
numberToOrdinal(7) // 7th
numberToOrdinal(8) // 8th
numberToOrdinal(9) // 9th
numberToOrdinal(10) // 10th
numberToOrdinal(11) // 11th
numberToOrdinal(12) // 12th
numberToOrdinal(13) // 13th
numberToOrdinal(14) // 14th
numberToOrdinal(101) // 101st

Python time measure function

Elaborating on @Jonathan Ray I think this does the trick a bit better

import time
import inspect

def timed(f:callable):
    start = time.time()
    ret = f()
    elapsed = 1000*(time.time() - start)
    source_code=inspect.getsource(f).strip('\n') 
    logger.info(source_code+":  "+str(elapsed)+" seconds")
    return ret

It allows to take a regular line of code, say a = np.sin(np.pi) and transform it rather simply into

a = timed(lambda: np.sin(np.pi))

so that the timing is printed onto the logger and you can keep the same assignment of the result to a variable you might need for further work.

I suppose in Python 3.8 one could use the := but I do not have 3.8 yet

How to create an XML document using XmlDocument?

Working with a dictionary ->level2 above comes from a dictionary in my case (just in case anybody will find it useful) Trying the first example I stumbled over this error: "This document already has a 'DocumentElement' node." I was inspired by the answer here

and edited my code: (xmlDoc.DocumentElement.AppendChild(body))

//a dictionary:
Dictionary<string, string> Level2Data 
{
    {"level2", "text"},
    {"level2", "other text"},
    {"same_level2", "more text"}
}
//xml Decalration:
XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
XmlDeclaration xmlDeclaration = xmlDoc.CreateXmlDeclaration("1.0", "UTF-8", null);
XmlElement root = xmlDoc.DocumentElement;
xmlDoc.InsertBefore(xmlDeclaration, root);
// add body
XmlElement body = xmlDoc.CreateElement(string.Empty, "body", string.Empty);
xmlDoc.AppendChild(body);
XmlElement body = xmlDoc.CreateElement(string.Empty, "body", string.Empty);
xmlDoc.DocumentElement.AppendChild(body); //without DocumentElement ->ERR



foreach (KeyValuePair<string, string> entry in Level2Data)
{
    //write to xml: - it works version 1.
    XmlNode keyNode = xmlDoc.CreateElement(entry.Key); //open TAB
    keyNode.InnerText = entry.Value;
    body.AppendChild(keyNode); //close TAB

    //Write to xmml verdion 2: (uncomment the next 4 lines and comment the above 3 - version 1
    //XmlElement key = xmlDoc.CreateElement(string.Empty, entry.Key, string.Empty);
    //XmlText value = xmlDoc.CreateTextNode(entry.Value);
    //key.AppendChild(value);
    //body.AppendChild(key);
}

Both versions (1 and 2 inside foreach loop) give the output:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<body>
    <level1>
        <level2>text</level2>
        <level2>ther text</level2>
         <same_level2>more text</same_level2>
    </level1>
</body>

(Note: third line "same level2" in dictionary can be also level2 as the others but I wanted to ilustrate the advantage of the dictionary - in my case I needed level2 with different names.

How to style input and submit button with CSS?

I did it this way based on the answers given here, I hope it helps

.likeLink {
    background: none !important;
    color: #3387c4;
    border: none;
    padding: 0 !important;
    font: inherit;
    cursor: pointer;
}
    .likeLink:hover {
        background: none !important;
        color: #25618c;
        border: none;
        padding: 0 !important;

How do I discard unstaged changes in Git?

This checks out the current index for the current directory, throwing away all changes in files from the current directory downwards.

git checkout .

or this which checks out all files from the index, overwriting working tree files.

git checkout-index -a -f

Rotate axis text in python matplotlib

It will depend on what are you plotting.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

 x=['long_text_for_a_label_a',
    'long_text_for_a_label_b',
    'long_text_for_a_label_c']
y=[1,2,3]
myplot = plt.plot(x,y)
for item in myplot.axes.get_xticklabels():
    item.set_rotation(90)

For pandas and seaborn that give you an Axes object:

df = pd.DataFrame(x,y)
#pandas
myplot = df.plot.bar()
#seaborn 
myplotsns =sns.barplot(y='0',  x=df.index, data=df)
# you can get xticklabels without .axes cause the object are already a 
# isntance of it
for item in myplot.get_xticklabels():
    item.set_rotation(90)

If you need to rotate labels you may need change the font size too, you can use font_scale=1.0 to do that.

PHP: date function to get month of the current date

What does your "data variable" look like? If it's like this:

$mydate = "2010-05-12 13:57:01";

You can simply do:

$month = date("m",strtotime($mydate));

For more information, take a look at date and strtotime.

EDIT:

To compare with an int, just do a date_format($date,"n"); which will give you the month without leading zero.

Alternatively, try one of these:

if((int)$month == 1)...
if(abs($month) == 1)...

Or something weird using ltrim, round, floor... but date_format() with "n" would be the best.

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

os.system() returns the (encoded) process exit value. 0 means success:

On Unix, the return value is the exit status of the process encoded in the format specified for wait(). Note that POSIX does not specify the meaning of the return value of the C system() function, so the return value of the Python function is system-dependent.

The output you see is written to stdout, so your console or terminal, and not returned to the Python caller.

If you wanted to capture stdout, use subprocess.check_output() instead:

x = subprocess.check_output(['whoami'])

How to create two columns on a web page?

The simple and best solution is to use tables for layouts. You're doing it right. There are a number of reasons tables are better.

  • They perform better than CSS
  • They work on all browsers without any fuss
  • You can debug them easily with the border=1 attribute
