Programs & Examples On #Fqdn

A Fully Qualified Domain Name is a domain name that specifies its exact location in the hierarchy of the Domain Name System.

Powershell: Get FQDN Hostname

Here is a way to determine the FQDN of a server based on the "Name" and "DistinguishedName". Works for multiple domains:

$server = Get-ADComputer serverName -Server domainName -Properties * | select Name, DistinguishedName
$domain = $server.DistinguishedName -split ","
$domain = $domain | ? {$_ -like 'DC=*'}
$domain = $domain -join "."
$domain = $domain -replace "DC="
$FQDN = $server.Name + "." + $domain

Are SSL certificates bound to the servers ip address?

SSL certificates are bound to a 'common name', which is usually a fully qualified domain name but can be a wildcard name (eg. *.domain.com) or even an IP address, but it usually isn't.

In your case, you are accessing your LDAP server by a hostname and it sounds like your two LDAP servers have different SSL certificates installed. Are you able to view (or download and view) the details of the SSL certificate? Each SSL certificate will have a unique serial numbers and fingerprint which will need to match. I assume the certificate is being rejected as these details don't match with what's in your certificate store.

Your solution will be to ensure that both LDAP servers have the same SSL certificate installed.

BTW - you can normally override DNS entries on your workstation by editing a local 'hosts' file, but I wouldn't recommend this.

What is wrong with my SQL here? #1089 - Incorrect prefix key

Problem is the same for me in phpMyAdmin. I just created a table without any const. Later I modified the ID to a Primary key. Then I changed the ID to Auto-inc. That solved the issue.

ALTER TABLE `users` CHANGE `ID` `ID` INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT;

syntax for creating a dictionary into another dictionary in python

You can declare a dictionary inside a dictionary by nesting the {} containers:

d = {'dict1': {'foo': 1, 'bar': 2}, 'dict2': {'baz': 3, 'quux': 4}}

And then you can access the elements using the [] syntax:

print d['dict1']           # {'foo': 1, 'bar': 2}
print d['dict1']['foo']    # 1
print d['dict2']['quux']   # 4

Given the above, if you want to add another dictionary to the dictionary, it can be done like so:

d['dict3'] = {'spam': 5, 'ham': 6}

or if you prefer to add items to the internal dictionary one by one:

d['dict4'] = {}
d['dict4']['king'] = 7
d['dict4']['queen'] = 8

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

While the accepted answer will work fine if the bytes you have from your subprocess are encoded using sys.stdout.encoding (or a compatible encoding, like reading from a tool that outputs ASCII and your stdout uses UTF-8), the correct way to write arbitrary bytes to stdout is:

sys.stdout.buffer.write(some_bytes_object)

This will just output the bytes as-is, without trying to treat them as text-in-some-encoding.

Auto height div with overflow and scroll when needed

Quick Answer with Main Points

Pretty much the same answer as the best chosen answer from @Joum, to quicken your quest of trying to achieve the answer to the posted question and save time from deciphering whats going on in the syntax --

Answer

Set position attribute to fixed, set the top and bottom attributes to your liking for the element or div that you want to have an "auto" size of in comparison to its parent element and then set overflow to hidden.

.YourClass && || #YourId{
   position:fixed;
   top:10px;
   bottom:10px;
   width:100%; //Do not forget width
   overflow-y:auto;
}

Wallah! This is all you need for your special element that you want to have a dynamic height according to screen size and or dynamic incoming content while maintaining the opportunity to scroll.

XAMPP Start automatically on Windows 7 startup

I am using XAMPP on Win 7 and 8.1 too...it start normally.

Did you try to check the services on Start > RUN > services.msc

Find the service: Apache 2.x. (right click) choose Properties. At form "Startup type" choose "Automatically" and Start the service on.

you should reset the PC and check out again.

Do the same with mySQL.

If you can not solve the problem, use XAMPP Panel to start it manually.

How to create an exit message

I've never heard of such a function, but it would be trivial enough to implement...

def die(msg)
  puts msg
  exit
end

Then, if this is defined in some .rb file that you include in all your scripts, you are golden.... just because it's not built in doesn't mean you can't do it yourself ;-)

Java Try Catch Finally blocks without Catch

Java versions before version 7 allow for these three combinations of try-catch-finally...

try - catch
try - catch - finally
try - finally

finally block will be always executed no matter of what's going on in the try or/and catch block. so if there is no catch block, the exception won't be handled here.

However, you will still need an exception handler somewhere in your code - unless you want your application to crash completely of course. It depends on the architecture of your application exactly where that handler is.

  • Java try block must be followed by either catch or finally block.
  • For each try block there can be zero or more catch blocks, but only one finally block.
  • The finally block will not be executed if program exits(either by calling System.exit() or by causing a fatal error that causes the process to abort).

Force a screen update in Excel VBA

I couldn't gain yet the survey of an inherited extensive code. And exact this problem bugged me for months. Many approches with DoEnvents were not helpful. Above answer helped. Placeing this Sub in meaningful positions in the code worked even in combination with progress bar

How do I get a list of files in a directory in C++?

Here's an example in C on Linux. That's if, you're on Linux and don't mind doing this small bit in ANSI C.

#include <dirent.h>

DIR *dpdf;
struct dirent *epdf;

dpdf = opendir("./");
if (dpdf != NULL){
   while (epdf = readdir(dpdf)){
      printf("Filename: %s",epdf->d_name);
      // std::cout << epdf->d_name << std::endl;
   }
}
closedir(dpdf);

Why can't I find SQL Server Management Studio after installation?

It appears that SQL Server 2008 R2 can be downloaded with or without the management tools. I honestly have NO IDEA why someone would not want the management tools. But either way, the options are here:

http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/en/us/editions/express.aspx

and the one for 64 bit WITH the management tools (management studio) is here:

http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/en/us/editions/express.aspx

From the first link I presented, the 3rd and 4th include the management studio for 32 and 64 bit respectively.

Read SQL Table into C# DataTable

Here, give this a shot (this is just a pseudocode)

using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlClient;


public class PullDataTest
{
    // your data table
    private DataTable dataTable = new DataTable();

    public PullDataTest()
    {
    }

    // your method to pull data from database to datatable   
    public void PullData()
    {
        string connString = @"your connection string here";
        string query = "select * from table";

        SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connString);        
        SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(query, conn);
        conn.Open();

        // create data adapter
        SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
        // this will query your database and return the result to your datatable
        da.Fill(dataTable);
        conn.Close();
        da.Dispose();
    }
}

Correct way to initialize HashMap and can HashMap hold different value types?

A HashMap can hold any object as a value, even if it is another HashMap. Eclipse is suggesting that you declare the types because that is the recommended practice for Collections. under Java 5. You are free to ignore Eclipse's suggestions.

Under Java 5, an int (or any primitive type) will be autoboxed into an Integer (or other corresponding type) when you add it to a collection. Be careful with this though, as there are some catches to using autoboxing.

How to check if an integer is in a given range?

I think

if (0 < i && i < 100) 

is more elegant. Looks like maths equation.

If you are looking for something special you can try:

Math.max(0, i) == Math.min(i, 100)

at least it uses library.

How to make the background DIV only transparent using CSS

How do I reference a cell within excel named range?

To read a particular date from range EJ_PAYDATES_2021 (index is next to the last "1")

=INDEX(PayDates.xlsx!EJ_PAYDATES_2021,1,1)  // Jan
=INDEX(PayDates.xlsx!EJ_PAYDATES_2021,2,1)  // Feb
=INDEX(PayDates.xlsx!EJ_PAYDATES_2021,3,1)  // Mar

This allows reading a particular element of a range [0] etc from another spreadsheet file. Target file need not be open. Range in the above example is named EJ_PAYDATES_2021, with one element for each month contained within that range.

Took me a while to parse this out, but it works, and is the answer to the question asked above.

How to select all elements with a particular ID in jQuery?

You could also try wrapping the two div's in two div's with unique ids. Then select the div by $("#div1","#wraper1") and $("#div1","#wraper2")

Here you go:

<div id="wraper1">
<div id="div1">
</div>
<div id="wraper2">
<div id="div1">
</div>

How to run a program without an operating system?

I wrote a c++ program based on Win32 to write an assembly to the boot sector of a pen-drive. When the computer is booted from the pen-drive it executes the code successfully - have a look here C++ Program to write to the boot sector of a USB Pendrive

This program is a few lines that should be compiled on a compiler with windows compilation configured - such as a visual studio compiler - any available version.

Plotting power spectrum in python

From the numpy fft page http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/routines.fft.html:

When the input a is a time-domain signal and A = fft(a), np.abs(A) is its amplitude spectrum and np.abs(A)**2 is its power spectrum. The phase spectrum is obtained by np.angle(A).

macro for Hide rows in excel 2010

Well, you're on the right path, Benno!

There are some tips regarding VBA programming that might help you out.

  1. Use always explicit references to the sheet you want to interact with. Otherwise, Excel may 'assume' your code applies to the active sheet and eventually you'll see it screws your spreadsheet up.

  2. As lionz mentioned, get in touch with the native methods Excel offers. You might use them on most of your tricks.

  3. Explicitly declare your variables... they'll show the list of methods each object offers in VBA. It might save your time digging on the internet.

Now, let's have a draft code...

Remember this code must be within the Excel Sheet object, as explained by lionz. It only applies to Sheet 2, is up to you to adapt it to both Sheet 2 and Sheet 3 in the way you prefer.

Hope it helps!

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

    Dim oSheet As Excel.Worksheet

    'We only want to do something if the changed cell is B6, right?
    If Target.Address = "$B$6" Then

        'Checks if it's a number...
        If IsNumeric(Target.Value) Then

            'Let's avoid values out of your bonds, correct?
            If Target.Value > 0 And Target.Value < 51 Then

                'Let's assign the worksheet we'll show / hide rows to one variable and then
                '   use only the reference to the variable itself instead of the sheet name.
                '   It's safer.

                'You can alternatively replace 'sheet 2' by 2 (without quotes) which will represent
                '   the sheet index within the workbook
                Set oSheet = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet 2")

                'We'll unhide before hide, to ensure we hide the correct ones
                oSheet.Range("A7:A56").EntireRow.Hidden = False

                oSheet.Range("A" & Target.Value + 7 & ":A56").EntireRow.Hidden = True

            End If

        End If

    End If

Retrieving Property name from lambda expression

This is a general implementation to get the string name of fields/properties/indexers/methods/extension methods/delegates of struct/class/interface/delegate/array. I have tested with combinations of static/instance and non-generic/generic variants.

//involves recursion
public static string GetMemberName(this LambdaExpression memberSelector)
{
    Func<Expression, string> nameSelector = null;  //recursive func
    nameSelector = e => //or move the entire thing to a separate recursive method
    {
        switch (e.NodeType)
        {
            case ExpressionType.Parameter:
                return ((ParameterExpression)e).Name;
            case ExpressionType.MemberAccess:
                return ((MemberExpression)e).Member.Name;
            case ExpressionType.Call:
                return ((MethodCallExpression)e).Method.Name;
            case ExpressionType.Convert:
            case ExpressionType.ConvertChecked:
                return nameSelector(((UnaryExpression)e).Operand);
            case ExpressionType.Invoke:
                return nameSelector(((InvocationExpression)e).Expression);
            case ExpressionType.ArrayLength:
                return "Length";
            default:
                throw new Exception("not a proper member selector");
        }
    };

    return nameSelector(memberSelector.Body);
}

This thing can be written in a simple while loop too:

//iteration based
public static string GetMemberName(this LambdaExpression memberSelector)
{
    var currentExpression = memberSelector.Body;

    while (true)
    {
        switch (currentExpression.NodeType)
        {
            case ExpressionType.Parameter:
                return ((ParameterExpression)currentExpression).Name;
            case ExpressionType.MemberAccess:
                return ((MemberExpression)currentExpression).Member.Name;
            case ExpressionType.Call:
                return ((MethodCallExpression)currentExpression).Method.Name;
            case ExpressionType.Convert:
            case ExpressionType.ConvertChecked:
                currentExpression = ((UnaryExpression)currentExpression).Operand;
                break;
            case ExpressionType.Invoke:
                currentExpression = ((InvocationExpression)currentExpression).Expression;
                break;
            case ExpressionType.ArrayLength:
                return "Length";
            default:
                throw new Exception("not a proper member selector");
        }
    }
}

I like the recursive approach, though the second one might be easier to read. One can call it like:

someExpr = x => x.Property.ExtensionMethod()[0]; //or
someExpr = x => Static.Method().Field; //or
someExpr = x => VoidMethod(); //or
someExpr = () => localVariable; //or
someExpr = x => x; //or
someExpr = x => (Type)x; //or
someExpr = () => Array[0].Delegate(null); //etc

string name = someExpr.GetMemberName();

to print the last member.

Note:

  1. In case of chained expressions like A.B.C, "C" is returned.

  2. This doesn't work with consts, array indexers or enums (impossible to cover all cases).

Remove privileges from MySQL database

The USAGE-privilege in mysql simply means that there are no privileges for the user 'phpadmin'@'localhost' defined on global level *.*. Additionally the same user has ALL-privilege on database phpmyadmin phpadmin.*.

So if you want to remove all the privileges and start totally from scratch do the following:

  • Revoke all privileges on database level:

    REVOKE ALL PRIVILEGES ON phpmyadmin.* FROM 'phpmyadmin'@'localhost';

  • Drop the user 'phpmyadmin'@'localhost'

    DROP USER 'phpmyadmin'@'localhost';

Above procedure will entirely remove the user from your instance, this means you can recreate him from scratch.

To give you a bit background on what described above: as soon as you create a user the mysql.user table will be populated. If you look on a record in it, you will see the user and all privileges set to 'N'. If you do a show grants for 'phpmyadmin'@'localhost'; you will see, the allready familliar, output above. Simply translated to "no privileges on global level for the user". Now your grant ALL to this user on database level, this will be stored in the table mysql.db. If you do a SELECT * FROM mysql.db WHERE db = 'nameofdb'; you will see a 'Y' on every priv.

Above described shows the scenario you have on your db at the present. So having a user that only has USAGE privilege means, that this user can connect, but besides of SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES; SHOW GLOBAL STATUS; he has no other privileges.

Language Books/Tutorials for popular languages

C#

C# to the Point by Hanspeter Mössenböck. On a mere 200 pages he explains C# in astonishing depth, focusing on underlying concepts and concise examples rather than hand waving and Visual Studio screenshots.

For additional information on specific language features, check the C# language specification ECMA-334.

Framework Design Guidelines, a book by Krzysztof Cwalina and Brad Abrams from Microsoft, provides further insight into the main design decisions behind the .NET library.

Hidden Columns in jqGrid

This feature is built into jqGrid.

setup your grid function as follows.

$('#myGrid').jqGrid({
   ...
   colNames: ['Manager', 'Name', 'HiddenSalary'],
   colModel: [               
               { name: 'Manager', editable: true },
               { name: 'Price', editable: true },
               { name: 'HiddenSalary', hidden: true , editable: true, 
                  editrules: {edithidden:true} 
               }
             ],
   ...
};

There are other editrules that can be applied but this basic setup would hide the manager's salary in the grid view but would allow editing when the edit form was displayed.

Converting a number with comma as decimal point to float

Assuming they are in a file or array just do the replace as a batch (i.e. on all at once):

$input = str_replace(array('.', ','), array('', '.'), $input); 

and then process the numbers from there taking full advantage of PHP's loosely typed nature.

Can I use tcpdump to get HTTP requests, response header and response body?

There are tcpdump filters for HTTP GET & HTTP POST (or for both plus message body):

  • Run man tcpdump | less -Ip examples to see some examples

  • Here’s a tcpdump filter for HTTP GET (GET = 0x47, 0x45, 0x54, 0x20):

    sudo tcpdump -s 0 -A 'tcp[((tcp[12:1] & 0xf0) >> 2):4] = 0x47455420'
    
  • Here’s a tcpdump filter for HTTP POST (POST = 0x50, 0x4f, 0x53, 0x54):

    sudo tcpdump -s 0 -A 'tcp dst port 80 and (tcp[((tcp[12:1] & 0xf0) >> 2):4] = 0x504f5354)'
    
  • Monitor HTTP traffic including request and response headers and message body (source):

    tcpdump -A -s 0 'tcp port 80 and (((ip[2:2] - ((ip[0]&0xf)<<2)) - ((tcp[12]&0xf0)>>2)) != 0)'
    tcpdump -X -s 0 'tcp port 80 and (((ip[2:2] - ((ip[0]&0xf)<<2)) - ((tcp[12]&0xf0)>>2)) != 0)'
    

For more information on the bit-twiddling in the TCP header see: String-Matching Capture Filter Generator (link to Sake Blok's explanation).

WCF service startup error "This collection already contains an address with scheme http"

I had this problem, and the cause was rather silly. I was trying out Microsoft's demo regarding running a ServiceHost from w/in a Command Line executable. I followed the instructions, including where it says to add the appropriate Service (and interface). But I got the above error.

Turns out when I added the service class, VS automatically added the configuration to the app.config. And the demo was trying to add that info too. Since it was already in the config, I removed the demo part, and it worked.

Using grep and sed to find and replace a string

You can use find and -exec directly into sed rather than first locating oldstr with grep. It's maybe a bit less efficient, but that might not be important. This way, the sed replacement is executed over all files listed by find, but if oldstr isn't there it obviously won't operate on it.

find /path -type f -exec sed -i 's/oldstr/newstr/g' {} \;

TypeError: method() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

Newcomer to Python, I had this issue when I was using the Python's ** feature in a wrong way. Trying to call this definition from somewhere:

def create_properties_frame(self, parent, **kwargs):

using a call without a double star was causing the problem:

self.create_properties_frame(frame, kw_gsp)

TypeError: create_properties_frame() takes 2 positional arguments but 3 were given

The solution is to add ** to the argument:

self.create_properties_frame(frame, **kw_gsp)

console.log(result) returns [object Object]. How do I get result.name?

Use console.log(JSON.stringify(result)) to get the JSON in a string format.

EDIT: If your intention is to get the id and other properties from the result object and you want to see it console to know if its there then you can check with hasOwnProperty and access the property if it does exist:

var obj = {id : "007", name : "James Bond"};
console.log(obj);                    // Object { id: "007", name: "James Bond" }
console.log(JSON.stringify(obj));    //{"id":"007","name":"James Bond"}
if (obj.hasOwnProperty("id")){
    console.log(obj.id);             //007
}

How to set a value of a variable inside a template code?

Utils to read resource text file to String (Java)

Guava also has Files.readLines() if you want a return value as List<String> line-by-line:

Please refer to here to compare 3 ways (BufferedReader vs. Guava's Files vs. Guava's Resources) to get String from a text file.

Combine two or more columns in a dataframe into a new column with a new name

As already mentioned in comments by Uwe and UseR, a general solution in the tidyverse format would be to use the command unite:

library(tidyverse)

n = c(2, 3, 5) 
s = c("aa", "bb", "cc") 
b = c(TRUE, FALSE, TRUE) 

df = data.frame(n, s, b) %>% 
  unite(x, c(n, s), sep = " ", remove = FALSE)

How do you use Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP to clear the Activity Stack?

@bitestar has the correct solution, but there is one more step:

It was hidden away in the docs, however you must change the launchMode of the Activity to anything other than standard. Otherwise it will be destroyed and recreated instead of being reset to the top.

Definition of int64_t

int64_t is guaranteed by the C99 standard to be exactly 64 bits wide on platforms that implement it, there's no such guarantee for a long which is at least 32 bits so it could be more.

§7.18.1.3 Exact-width integer types 1 The typedef name intN_t designates a signed integer type with width N , no padding bits, and a two’s complement representation. Thus, int8_t denotes a signed integer type with a width of exactly 8 bits.

How can I get device ID for Admob

Something similar to Google Ads, from the documentation:

public AdRequest.Builder addTestDevice (String deviceId)

Causes a device to receive test ads. The deviceId can be obtained by viewing the logcat output after creating a new ad. For emulators, use DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR.

for example my Test Device id displayed in LogCat is "B86BC9402A69B031A516BC57F7D3063F":

AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder() 
        .addTestDevice(AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR)
        .addTestDevice("B86BC9402A69B031A516BC57F7D3063F")
        .build();

Load and execution sequence of a web page?

1) HTML is downloaded.

2) HTML is parsed progressively. When a request for an asset is reached the browser will attempt to download the asset. A default configuration for most HTTP servers and most browsers is to process only two requests in parallel. IE can be reconfigured to downloaded an unlimited number of assets in parallel. Steve Souders has been able to download over 100 requests in parallel on IE. The exception is that script requests block parallel asset requests in IE. This is why it is highly suggested to put all JavaScript in external JavaScript files and put the request just prior to the closing body tag in the HTML.

3) Once the HTML is parsed the DOM is rendered. CSS is rendered in parallel to the rendering of the DOM in nearly all user agents. As a result it is strongly recommended to put all CSS code into external CSS files that are requested as high as possible in the <head></head> section of the document. Otherwise the page is rendered up to the occurance of the CSS request position in the DOM and then rendering starts over from the top.

4) Only after the DOM is completely rendered and requests for all assets in the page are either resolved or time out does JavaScript execute from the onload event. IE7, and I am not sure about IE8, does not time out assets quickly if an HTTP response is not received from the asset request. This means an asset requested by JavaScript inline to the page, that is JavaScript written into HTML tags that is not contained in a function, can prevent the execution of the onload event for hours. This problem can be triggered if such inline code exists in the page and fails to execute due to a namespace collision that causes a code crash.

Of the above steps the one that is most CPU intensive is the parsing of the DOM/CSS. If you want your page to be processed faster then write efficient CSS by eliminating redundent instructions and consolidating CSS instructions into the fewest possible element referrences. Reducing the number of nodes in your DOM tree will also produce faster rendering.

Keep in mind that each asset you request from your HTML or even from your CSS/JavaScript assets is requested with a separate HTTP header. This consumes bandwidth and requires processing per request. If you want to make your page load as fast as possible then reduce the number of HTTP requests and reduce the size of your HTML. You are not doing your user experience any favors by averaging page weight at 180k from HTML alone. Many developers subscribe to some fallacy that a user makes up their mind about the quality of content on the page in 6 nanoseconds and then purges the DNS query from his server and burns his computer if displeased, so instead they provide the most beautiful possible page at 250k of HTML. Keep your HTML short and sweet so that a user can load your pages faster. Nothing improves the user experience like a fast and responsive web page.

How to save a data.frame in R?

Let us say you have a data frame you created and named "Data_output", you can simply export it to same directory by using the following syntax.

write.csv(Data_output, "output.csv", row.names = F, quote = F)

What is a "slug" in Django?

From here.

“Slug” is a newspaper term, but what it means here is the final bit of the URL. For example, a post with the title, “A bit about Django” would become, “bit-about-django” automatically (you can, of course, change it easily if you don’t like the auto-generated slug).

What is the JUnit XML format specification that Hudson supports?

The top answer of the question Anders Lindahl refers to an xsd file.

Personally I found this xsd file also very useful (I don't remember how I found that one). It looks a bit less intimidating, and as far as I used it, all the elements and attributes seem to be recognized by Jenkins (v1.451)

One thing though: when adding multiple <failure ... elements, only one was retained in Jenkins. When creating the xml file, I now concatenate all the failures in one.


Update 2016-11 The link is broken now. A better alternative is this page from cubic.org: JUnit XML reporting file format, where a nice effort has been taken to provide a sensible documented example. Example and xsd are copied below, but their page looks waay nicer.

How do I remove packages installed with Python's easy_install?

First you have to run this command:

$ easy_install -m [PACKAGE]

It removes all dependencies of the package.

Then remove egg file of that package:

$ sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/python2.X/site-packages/[PACKAGE].egg

I get exception when using Thread.sleep(x) or wait()

Have a look at this excellent brief post on how to do this properly.

Essentially: catch the InterruptedException. Remember that you must add this catch-block. The post explains this a bit further.

How could I use requests in asyncio?

DISCLAMER: Following code creates different threads for each function.

This might be useful for some of the cases as it is simpler to use. But know that it is not async but gives illusion of async using multiple threads, even though decorator suggests that.

To make any function non blocking, simply copy the decorator and decorate any function with a callback function as parameter. The callback function will receive the data returned from the function.

import asyncio
import requests


def run_async(callback):
    def inner(func):
        def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
            def __exec():
                out = func(*args, **kwargs)
                callback(out)
                return out

            return asyncio.get_event_loop().run_in_executor(None, __exec)

        return wrapper

    return inner


def _callback(*args):
    print(args)


# Must provide a callback function, callback func will be executed after the func completes execution !!
@run_async(_callback)
def get(url):
    return requests.get(url)


get("https://google.com")
print("Non blocking code ran !!")

Hide Command Window of .BAT file that Executes Another .EXE File

Using start works for me:

@echo off
copy "C:\Remoting.config-Training" "C:\Remoting.config"
start C:\ThirdParty.exe

EDIT: Ok, looking more closely, start seems to interpret the first parameter as the new window title if quoted. So, if you need to quote the path to your ThirdParty.exe you must supply a title string as well.

Examples:

:: Title not needed:
start C:\ThirdParty.exe

:: Title needed
start "Third Party App" "C:\Program Files\Vendor\ThirdParty.exe"

How can I search Git branches for a file or directory?

Although ididak's response is pretty cool, and Handyman5 provides a script to use it, I found it a little restricted to use that approach.

Sometimes you need to search for something that can appear/disappear over time, so why not search against all commits? Besides that, sometimes you need a verbose response, and other times only commit matches. Here are two versions of those options. Put these scripts on your path:

git-find-file

for branch in $(git rev-list --all)
do
  if (git ls-tree -r --name-only $branch | grep --quiet "$1")
  then
     echo $branch
  fi
done

git-find-file-verbose

for branch in $(git rev-list --all)
do
  git ls-tree -r --name-only $branch | grep "$1" | sed 's/^/'$branch': /'
done

Now you can do

$ git find-file <regex>
sha1
sha2

$ git find-file-verbose <regex>
sha1: path/to/<regex>/searched
sha1: path/to/another/<regex>/in/same/sha
sha2: path/to/other/<regex>/in/other/sha

See that using getopt you can modify that script to alternate searching all commits, refs, refs/heads, been verbose, etc.

$ git find-file <regex>
$ git find-file --verbose <regex>
$ git find-file --verbose --decorated --color <regex>

Checkout https://github.com/albfan/git-find-file for a possible implementation.

scatter plot in matplotlib

Maybe something like this:

import matplotlib.pyplot
import pylab

x = [1,2,3,4]
y = [3,4,8,6]

matplotlib.pyplot.scatter(x,y)

matplotlib.pyplot.show()

EDIT:

Let me see if I understand you correctly now:

You have:

       test1 | test2 | test3
test3 |   1   |   0  |  1

test4 |   0   |   1  |  0

test5 |   1   |   1  |  0

Now you want to represent the above values in in a scatter plot, such that value of 1 is represented by a dot.

Let's say you results are stored in a 2-D list:

results = [[1, 0, 1], [0, 1, 0], [1, 1, 0]]

We want to transform them into two variables so we are able to plot them.

And I believe this code will give you what you are looking for:

import matplotlib
import pylab


results = [[1, 0, 1], [0, 1, 0], [1, 1, 0]]

x = []
y = []

for ind_1, sublist in enumerate(results):
    for ind_2, ele in enumerate(sublist):
        if ele == 1:
            x.append(ind_1)
            y.append(ind_2)       


matplotlib.pyplot.scatter(x,y)

matplotlib.pyplot.show()

Notice that I do need to import pylab, and you would have play around with the axis labels. Also this feels like a work around, and there might be (probably is) a direct method to do this.

Subtracting two lists in Python

You can use the map construct to do this. It looks quite ok, but beware that the map line itself will return a list of Nones.

a = [1, 2, 3]
b = [2, 3]

map(lambda x:a.remove(x), b)
a

.NET: Simplest way to send POST with data and read response

I know this is an old thread, but hope it helps some one.

public static void SetRequest(string mXml)
{
    HttpWebRequest webRequest = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.CreateHttp("http://dork.com/service");
    webRequest.Method = "POST";
    webRequest.Headers["SOURCE"] = "WinApp";

    // Decide your encoding here

    //webRequest.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
    webRequest.ContentType = "text/xml; charset=utf-8";

    // You should setContentLength
    byte[] content = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(mXml);
    webRequest.ContentLength = content.Length;

    var reqStream = await webRequest.GetRequestStreamAsync();
    reqStream.Write(content, 0, content.Length);

    var res = await httpRequest(webRequest);
}

Why can't I use a list as a dict key in python?

dict keys need to be hashable. Lists are Mutable and they do not provide a valid hash method.

How do I install Maven with Yum?

Maven is packaged for Fedora since mid 2014, so it is now pretty easy. Just type

sudo dnf install maven

Now test the installation, just run maven in a random directory

mvn

And it will fail, because you did not specify a goal, e.g. mvn package

How to create an HTML button that acts like a link?

@Nicolas,following worked for me as yours didn't have type="button" due to which it started behaving as submit type..since i already have one submit type.it didn't worked for me ....and now you can either add class to button or to <a> to get required layout:

<a href="http://www.google.com/">
    <button type="button">Click here</button>

How to describe "object" arguments in jsdoc?

I see that there is already an answer about the @return tag, but I want to give more details about it.

First of all, the official JSDoc 3 documentation doesn't give us any examples about the @return for a custom object. Please see https://jsdoc.app/tags-returns.html. Now, let's see what we can do until some standard will appear.

  • Function returns object where keys are dynamically generated. Example: {1: 'Pete', 2: 'Mary', 3: 'John'}. Usually, we iterate over this object with the help of for(var key in obj){...}.

    Possible JSDoc according to https://google.github.io/styleguide/javascriptguide.xml#JsTypes

    /**
     * @return {Object.<number, string>}
     */
    function getTmpObject() {
        var result = {}
        for (var i = 10; i >= 0; i--) {
            result[i * 3] = 'someValue' + i;
        }
        return result
    }
    
  • Function returns object where keys are known constants. Example: {id: 1, title: 'Hello world', type: 'LEARN', children: {...}}. We can easily access properties of this object: object.id.

    Possible JSDoc according to https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/jsdoc-users/TMvUedK9tC4

    • Fake It.

      /**
       * Generate a point.
       *
       * @returns {Object} point - The point generated by the factory.
       * @returns {number} point.x - The x coordinate.
       * @returns {number} point.y - The y coordinate.
       */
      var pointFactory = function (x, y) {
          return {
              x:x,
              y:y
          }
      }
      
    • The Full Monty.

      /**
       @class generatedPoint
       @private
       @type {Object}
       @property {number} x The x coordinate.
       @property {number} y The y coordinate.
       */
      function generatedPoint(x, y) {
          return {
              x:x,
              y:y
          };
      }
      
      /**
       * Generate a point.
       *
       * @returns {generatedPoint} The point generated by the factory.
       */
      
      var pointFactory = function (x, y) {
          return new generatedPoint(x, y);
      }
      
    • Define a type.

      /**
       @typedef generatedPoint
       @type {Object}
       @property {number} x The x coordinate.
       @property {number} y The y coordinate.
       */
      
      
      /**
       * Generate a point.
       *

How to create file execute mode permissions in Git on Windows?

The note is firstly you must sure about filemode set to false in config git file, or use this command:

git config core.filemode false

and then you can set 0777 permission with this command:

git update-index --chmod=+x foo.sh

RegEx: Grabbing values between quotation marks

Peculiarly, none of these answers produce a regex where the returned match is the text inside the quotes, which is what is asked for. MA-Madden tries but only gets the inside match as a captured group rather than the whole match. One way to actually do it would be :

(?<=(["']\b))(?:(?=(\\?))\2.)*?(?=\1)

Examples for this can be seen in this demo https://regex101.com/r/Hbj8aP/1

The key here is the the positive lookbehind at the start (the ?<= ) and the positive lookahead at the end (the ?=). The lookbehind is looking behind the current character to check for a quote, if found then start from there and then the lookahead is checking the character ahead for a quote and if found stop on that character. The lookbehind group (the ["']) is wrapped in brackets to create a group for whichever quote was found at the start, this is then used at the end lookahead (?=\1) to make sure it only stops when it finds the corresponding quote.

The only other complication is that because the lookahead doesn't actually consume the end quote, it will be found again by the starting lookbehind which causes text between ending and starting quotes on the same line to be matched. Putting a word boundary on the opening quote (["']\b) helps with this, though ideally I'd like to move past the lookahead but I don't think that is possible. The bit allowing escaped characters in the middle I've taken directly from Adam's answer.

How do I keep two side-by-side divs the same height?

This question was asked 6 years ago, but it's still worthy to give a simple answer with flexbox layout nowadays.

Just add the following CSS to the father <div>, it will work.

display: -webkit-flex;
display: flex;
flex-direction: row;
align-items: stretch;

The first two lines declare it will be displayed as flexbox. And flex-direction: row tells browsers that its children will be display in columns. And align-items: stretch will meet the requirement that all the children elements will stretch to the same height it one of them become higher.

Add a month to a Date

addedMonth <- seq(as.Date('2004-01-01'), length=2, by='1 month')[2]

Check if string is neither empty nor space in shell script

[ $(echo $variable_to_test | sed s/\n// | sed s/\ //) == "" ] && echo "String is empty"

Stripping all newlines and spaces from the string will cause a blank one to be reduced to nothing which can be tested and acted upon

How to Create a Form Dynamically Via Javascript

some thing as follows ::

Add this After the body tag

This is a rough sketch, you will need to modify it according to your needs.

<script>
var f = document.createElement("form");
f.setAttribute('method',"post");
f.setAttribute('action',"submit.php");

var i = document.createElement("input"); //input element, text
i.setAttribute('type',"text");
i.setAttribute('name',"username");

var s = document.createElement("input"); //input element, Submit button
s.setAttribute('type',"submit");
s.setAttribute('value',"Submit");

f.appendChild(i);
f.appendChild(s);

//and some more input elements here
//and dont forget to add a submit button

document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0].appendChild(f);

</script>

Remove .php extension with .htaccess

Apache mod_rewrite

What you're looking for is mod_rewrite,

Description: Provides a rule-based rewriting engine to rewrite requested URLs on the fly.

Generally speaking, mod_rewrite works by matching the requested document against specified regular expressions, then performs URL rewrites internally (within the apache process) or externally (in the clients browser). These rewrites can be as simple as internally translating example.com/foo into a request for example.com/foo/bar.

The Apache docs include a mod_rewrite guide and I think some of the things you want to do are covered in it. Detailed mod_rewrite guide.

Force the www subdomain

I would like it to force "www" before every url, so its not domain.com but www.domain.com/page

The rewrite guide includes instructions for this under the Canonical Hostname example.

Remove trailing slashes (Part 1)

I would like to remove all trailing slashes from pages

I'm not sure why you would want to do this as the rewrite guide includes an example for the exact opposite, i.e., always including a trailing slash. The docs suggest that removing the trailing slash has great potential for causing issues:

Trailing Slash Problem

Description:

Every webmaster can sing a song about the problem of the trailing slash on URLs referencing directories. If they are missing, the server dumps an error, because if you say /~quux/foo instead of /~quux/foo/ then the server searches for a file named foo. And because this file is a directory it complains. Actually it tries to fix it itself in most of the cases, but sometimes this mechanism need to be emulated by you. For instance after you have done a lot of complicated URL rewritings to CGI scripts etc.

Perhaps you could expand on why you want to remove the trailing slash all the time?

Remove .php extension

I need it to remove the .php

The closest thing to doing this that I can think of is to internally rewrite every request document with a .php extension, i.e., example.com/somepage is instead processed as a request for example.com/somepage.php. Note that proceeding in this manner would would require that each somepage actually exists as somepage.php on the filesystem.

With the right combination of regular expressions this should be possible to some extent. However, I can foresee some possible issues with index pages not being requested correctly and not matching directories correctly.

For example, this will correctly rewrite example.com/test as a request for example.com/test.php:

RewriteEngine  on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php

But will make example.com fail to load because there is no example.com/.php

I'm going to guess that if you're removing all trailing slashes, then picking a request for a directory index from a request for a filename in the parent directory will become almost impossible. How do you determine a request for the directory 'foobar':

example.com/foobar

from a request for a file called foobar (which is actually foobar.php)

example.com/foobar

It might be possible if you used the RewriteBase directive. But if you do that then this problem gets way more complicated as you're going to require RewriteCond directives to do filesystem level checking if the request maps to a directory or a file.

That said, if you remove your requirement of removing all trailing slashes and instead force-add trailing slashes the "no .php extension" problem becomes a bit more reasonable.

# Turn on the rewrite engine
RewriteEngine  on
# If the request doesn't end in .php (Case insensitive) continue processing rules
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.php$ [NC]
# If the request doesn't end in a slash continue processing the rules
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} [^/]$
# Rewrite the request with a .php extension. L means this is the 'Last' rule
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [L]

This still isn't perfect -- every request for a file still has .php appended to the request internally. A request for 'hi.txt' will put this in your error logs:

[Tue Oct 26 18:12:52 2010] [error] [client 71.61.190.56] script '/var/www/test.peopleareducks.com/rewrite/hi.txt.php' not found or unable to stat

But there is another option, set the DefaultType and DirectoryIndex directives like this:

DefaultType application/x-httpd-php
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html

Update 2013-11-14 - Fixed the above snippet to incorporate nicorellius's observation

Now requests for hi.txt (and anything else) are successful, requests to example.com/test will return the processed version of test.php, and index.php files will work again.

I must give credit where credit is due for this solution as I found it Michael J. Radwins Blog by searching Google for php no extension apache.

Remove trailing slashes

Some searching for apache remove trailing slashes brought me to some Search Engine Optimization pages. Apparently some Content Management Systems (Drupal in this case) will make content available with and without a trailing slash in URls, which in the SEO world will cause your site to incur a duplicate content penalty. Source

The solution seems fairly trivial, using mod_rewrite we rewrite on the condition that the requested resource ends in a / and rewrite the URL by sending back the 301 Permanent Redirect HTTP header.

Here's his example which assumes your domain is blamcast.net and allows the the request to optionally be prefixed with www..

#get rid of trailing slashes
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?blamcast\.net$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

Now we're getting somewhere. Lets put it all together and see what it looks like.

Mandatory www., no .php, and no trailing slashes

This assumes the domain is foobar.com and it is running on the standard port 80.

# Process all files as PHP by default
DefaultType application/x-httpd-php
# Fix sub-directory requests by allowing 'index' as a DirectoryIndex value
DirectoryIndex index index.html

# Force the domain to load with the www subdomain prefix
# If the request doesn't start with www...
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   !^www\.foobar\.com [NC]
# And the site name isn't empty
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   !^$
# Finally rewrite the request: end of rules, don't escape the output, and force a 301 redirect
RewriteRule ^/?(.*)         http://www.foobar.com/$1 [L,R,NE]

#get rid of trailing slashes
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?foobar\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

The 'R' flag is described in the RewriteRule directive section. Snippet:

redirect|R [=code] (force redirect) Prefix Substitution with http://thishost[:thisport]/ (which makes the new URL a URI) to force a external redirection. If no code is given, a HTTP response of 302 (MOVED TEMPORARILY) will be returned.

Final Note

I wasn't able to get the slash removal to work successfully. The redirect ended up giving me infinite redirect loops. After reading the original solution closer I get the impression that the example above works for them because of how their Drupal installation is configured. He mentions specifically:

On a normal Drupal site, with clean URLs enabled, these two addresses are basically interchangeable

In reference to URLs ending with and without a slash. Furthermore,

Drupal uses a file called .htaccess to tell your web server how to handle URLs. This is the same file that enables Drupal's clean URL magic. By adding a simple redirect command to the beginning of your .htaccess file, you can force the server to automatically remove any trailing slashes.

How to add and remove item from array in components in Vue 2

You can use Array.push() for appending elements to an array.

For deleting, it is best to use this.$delete(array, index) for reactive objects.

Vue.delete( target, key ): Delete a property on an object. If the object is reactive, ensure the deletion triggers view updates. This is primarily used to get around the limitation that Vue cannot detect property deletions, but you should rarely need to use it.

How do the likely/unlikely macros in the Linux kernel work and what is their benefit?

These are GCC functions for the programmer to give a hint to the compiler about what the most likely branch condition will be in a given expression. This allows the compiler to build the branch instructions so that the most common case takes the fewest number of instructions to execute.

How the branch instructions are built are dependent upon the processor architecture.

how to sort order of LEFT JOIN in SQL query?

Several other answer give the solution using MAX. In some scenarios using an agregate function is either not possilbe, or not performant.

The alternative that I use a lot is to use a correlated sub-query in the join...

SELECT
   `userName`,
   `carPrice`
FROM `users`
LEFT JOIN `cars`
ON cars.id = (
  SELECT id FROM `cars` WHERE BelongsToUser = users.id ORDER BY carPrice DESC LIMIT 1
)
WHERE `id`='4'

Rotating a view in Android

As mentioned before, the easiest way it to use rotation available since API 11:

android:rotation="90"    // in XML layout

view.rotation = 90f      // programatically

You can also change pivot of rotation, which is by default set to center of the view. This needs to be changed programatically:

// top left
view.pivotX = 0f
view.pivotY = 0f

// bottom right
view.pivotX = width.toFloat()
view.pivotY = height.toFloat()

...

In Activity's onCreate() or Fragment's onCreateView(...) width and height are equal to 0, because the view wasn't measured yet. You can access it simply by using doOnPreDraw extension from Android KTX, i.e.:

view.apply {
    doOnPreDraw {
        pivotX = width.toFloat()
        pivotY = height.toFloat()
    }
}

Make a nav bar stick

You can do it with CSS only by creating your menu twice. It's not ideal but it gives you the opportunity have a different design for the menu once it's on top and you'll have nothing else than CSS, no jquery. Here is an example with DIV (you can of course change it to NAV if you prefer):

<div id="hiddenmenu">
 THIS IS MY HIDDEN MENU
</div>
<div id="header">
 Here is my header with a lot of text and my main menu
</div>
<div id="body">
 MY BODY
</div>

And then have the following CSS:

#hiddenmenu {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
z-index:1;
 }
#header {
top: 0;
position:absolute;
z-index:2;
 }
#body {
padding-top: 80px;
position:absolute;
z-index: auto;
 }

Render a string in HTML and preserve spaces and linebreaks

You would want to replace all spaces with &nbsp; (non-breaking space) and all new lines \n with <br> (line break in html). This should achieve the result you're looking for.

body = body.replace(' ', '&nbsp;').replace('\n', '<br>');

Something of that nature.

Get table column names in MySQL?

You may also want to check out mysql_fetch_array(), as in:

$rs = mysql_query($sql);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($rs)) {
//$row[0] = 'First Field';
//$row['first_field'] = 'First Field';
}

"Large data" workflows using pandas

I spotted this a little late, but I work with a similar problem (mortgage prepayment models). My solution has been to skip the pandas HDFStore layer and use straight pytables. I save each column as an individual HDF5 array in my final file.

My basic workflow is to first get a CSV file from the database. I gzip it, so it's not as huge. Then I convert that to a row-oriented HDF5 file, by iterating over it in python, converting each row to a real data type, and writing it to a HDF5 file. That takes some tens of minutes, but it doesn't use any memory, since it's only operating row-by-row. Then I "transpose" the row-oriented HDF5 file into a column-oriented HDF5 file.

The table transpose looks like:

def transpose_table(h_in, table_path, h_out, group_name="data", group_path="/"):
    # Get a reference to the input data.
    tb = h_in.getNode(table_path)
    # Create the output group to hold the columns.
    grp = h_out.createGroup(group_path, group_name, filters=tables.Filters(complevel=1))
    for col_name in tb.colnames:
        logger.debug("Processing %s", col_name)
        # Get the data.
        col_data = tb.col(col_name)
        # Create the output array.
        arr = h_out.createCArray(grp,
                                 col_name,
                                 tables.Atom.from_dtype(col_data.dtype),
                                 col_data.shape)
        # Store the data.
        arr[:] = col_data
    h_out.flush()

Reading it back in then looks like:

def read_hdf5(hdf5_path, group_path="/data", columns=None):
    """Read a transposed data set from a HDF5 file."""
    if isinstance(hdf5_path, tables.file.File):
        hf = hdf5_path
    else:
        hf = tables.openFile(hdf5_path)

    grp = hf.getNode(group_path)
    if columns is None:
        data = [(child.name, child[:]) for child in grp]
    else:
        data = [(child.name, child[:]) for child in grp if child.name in columns]

    # Convert any float32 columns to float64 for processing.
    for i in range(len(data)):
        name, vec = data[i]
        if vec.dtype == np.float32:
            data[i] = (name, vec.astype(np.float64))

    if not isinstance(hdf5_path, tables.file.File):
        hf.close()
    return pd.DataFrame.from_items(data)

Now, I generally run this on a machine with a ton of memory, so I may not be careful enough with my memory usage. For example, by default the load operation reads the whole data set.

This generally works for me, but it's a bit clunky, and I can't use the fancy pytables magic.

Edit: The real advantage of this approach, over the array-of-records pytables default, is that I can then load the data into R using h5r, which can't handle tables. Or, at least, I've been unable to get it to load heterogeneous tables.

How to re import an updated package while in Python Interpreter?

Basically reload as in allyourcode's asnwer. But it won't change underlying the code of already instantiated object or referenced functions. Extending from his answer:

#Make a simple function that prints "version 1"
shell1$ echo 'def x(): print "version 1"' > mymodule.py

# Run the module
shell2$ python
>>> import mymodule
>>> mymodule.x()
version 1
>>> x = mymodule.x
>>> x()
version 1
>>> x is mymodule.x
True


# Change mymodule to print "version 2" (without exiting the python REPL)
shell2$ echo 'def x(): print "version 2"' > mymodule.py

# Back in that same python session
>>> reload(mymodule)
<module 'mymodule' from 'mymodule.pyc'>
>>> mymodule.x()
version 2
>>> x()
version 1
>>> x is mymodule.x
False

How to make flutter app responsive according to different screen size?

create file name (app_config.dart) in folder name(responsive_screen) in lib folder:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

class AppConfig {
  BuildContext _context;
  double _height;
  double _width;
  double _heightPadding;
  double _widthPadding;

  AppConfig(this._context) {
    MediaQueryData _queryData = MediaQuery.of(_context);
    _height = _queryData.size.height / 100.0;
    _width = _queryData.size.width / 100.0;
    _heightPadding =
    _height - ((_queryData.padding.top + _queryData.padding.bottom) / 100.0);
    _widthPadding =
      _width - (_queryData.padding.left + _queryData.padding.right) / 100.0;
  }

  double rH(double v) {
   return _height * v;
  }

  double rW(double v) {
    return _width * v;
  }

  double rHP(double v) {
    return _heightPadding * v;
  }

 double rWP(double v) {
   return _widthPadding * v;
 }
}

then:

import 'responsive_screen/app_config.dart';
 ...
class RandomWordsState extends State<RandomWords> {
  AppConfig _ac;
  ...
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    _ac = AppConfig(context);
    ...
    return Scaffold(
      body: Container(
        height: _ac.rHP(50),
        width: _ac.rWP(50),
        color: Colors.red,
        child: Text('Test'),
      ),
    );
    ...
  }

Building a fat jar using maven

You can use the onejar-maven-plugin for packaging. Basically, it assembles your project and its dependencies in as one jar, including not just your project jar file, but also all external dependencies as a "jar of jars", e.g.

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>com.jolira</groupId>
            <artifactId>onejar-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>1.4.4</version>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>one-jar</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

Note 1: Configuration options is available at the project home page.

Note 2: For one reason or the other, the onejar-maven-plugin project is not published at Maven Central. However jolira.com tracks the original project and publishes it to with the groupId com.jolira.

PHP Multidimensional Array Searching (Find key by specific value)

I would do like below, where $products is the actual array given in the problem at the very beginning.

print_r(
  array_search("breville-variable-temperature-kettle-BKE820XL", 
  array_map(function($product){return $product["slug"];},$products))
);

Escape quote in web.config connection string

Use &quot; instead of " to escape it.

web.config is an XML file so you should use XML escaping.

connectionString="Server=dbsrv;User ID=myDbUser;Password=somepass&quot;word"

See this forum thread.

Update:

&quot; should work, but as it doesn't, have you tried some of the other string escape sequences for .NET? \" and ""?

Update 2:

Try single quotes for the connectionString:

connectionString='Server=dbsrv;User ID=myDbUser;Password=somepass"word'

Or:

connectionString='Server=dbsrv;User ID=myDbUser;Password=somepass&quot;word'

Update 3:

From MSDN (SqlConnection.ConnectionString Property):

To include values that contain a semicolon, single-quote character, or double-quote character, the value must be enclosed in double quotation marks. If the value contains both a semicolon and a double-quote character, the value can be enclosed in single quotation marks.

So:

connectionString="Server=dbsrv;User ID=myDbUser;Password='somepass&quot;word'"

The issue is not with web.config, but the format of the connection string. In a connection string, if you have a " in a value (of the key-value pair), you need to enclose the value in '. So, while Password=somepass"word does not work, Password='somepass"word' does.

Read response headers from API response - Angular 5 + TypeScript

Angular 7 Service:

    this.http.post(environment.urlRest + '/my-operation',body, { headers: headers, observe: 'response'});
    
Component:
    this.myService.myfunction().subscribe(
          (res: HttpResponse) => {
              console.log(res.headers.get('x-token'));
                }  ,
        error =>{
        }) 
    

Ignoring new fields on JSON objects using Jackson

If using a pojo class based on JSON response. If chances are there that json changes frequently declare at pojo class level:

@JsonIgnoreProperties(ignoreUnknown = true)

and at the objectMapper add this if you are converting:

objectMapper.configure(DeserializationConfig.Feature.FAIL_ON_UNKNOWN_PROPERTIES, false);

So that code will not break.

How do files get into the External Dependencies in Visual Studio C++?

To resolve external dependencies within project. below things are important..
1. The compiler should know that where are header '.h' files located in workspace.
2. The linker able to find all specified  all '.lib' files & there names for current project.

So, Developer has to specify external dependencies for Project as below..

1. Select Project in Solution explorer.

2 . Project Properties -> Configuration Properties -> C/C++ -> General
specify all header files in "Additional Include Directories".

3.  Project Properties -> Configuration Properties -> Linker -> General
specify relative path for all lib files in "Additional Library Directories".

Return only string message from Spring MVC 3 Controller

This is just a note for those who might find this question later, but you don't have to pull in the response to change the content type. Here's an example below to do just that:

@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET, value="/controller")
public ResponseEntity<byte[]> displayUploadedFile()
{
  HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
  String disposition = INLINE;
  String fileName = "";
  headers.setContentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_OCTET_STREAM);

  //Load your attachment here

  if (Arrays.equals(Constants.HEADER_BYTES_PDF, contentBytes)) {
    headers.setContentType(MediaType.valueOf("application/pdf"));
    fileName += ".pdf";
  }

  if (Arrays.equals(Constants.HEADER_BYTES_TIFF_BIG_ENDIAN, contentBytes)
      || Arrays.equals(Constantsr.HEADER_BYTES_TIFF_LITTLE_ENDIAN, contentBytes)) {
    headers.setContentType(MediaType.valueOf("image/tiff"));
    fileName += ".tif";
  }

  if (Arrays.equals(Constants.HEADER_BYTES_JPEG, contentBytes)) {
    headers.setContentType(MediaType.IMAGE_JPEG);
    fileName += ".jpg";
  }

  //Handle other types if necessary

  headers.add("Content-Disposition", , disposition + ";filename=" + fileName);
  return new ResponseEntity<byte[]>(uploadedBytes, headers, HttpStatus.OK);
}

Display animated GIF in iOS

If you are targeting iOS7 and already have the image split into frames you can use animatedImageNamed:duration:.

Let's say you are animating a spinner. Copy all of your frames into the project and name them as follows:

  • spinner-1.png
  • spinner-2.png
  • spinner-3.png
  • etc.,

Then create the image via:

[UIImage animatedImageNamed:@"spinner-" duration:1.0f];

From the docs:

This method loads a series of files by appending a series of numbers to the base file name provided in the name parameter. For example, if the name parameter had ‘image’ as its contents, this method would attempt to load images from files with the names ‘image0’, ‘image1’ and so on all the way up to ‘image1024’. All images included in the animated image should share the same size and scale.

How can I solve a connection pool problem between ASP.NET and SQL Server?

This problem I have encountered before. It ended up being an issue with the firewall. I just added a rule to the firewall. I had to open port 1433 so the SQL server can connect to the server.

OrderBy descending in Lambda expression?

LastOrDefault() is usually not working but with the Tolist() it will work. There is no need to use OrderByDescending use Tolist() like this.

GroupBy(p => p.Nws_ID).ToList().LastOrDefault();

Python sys.argv lists and indexes

let's say on the command-line you have:

C:\> C:\Documents and Settings\fred\My Documents\Downloads\google-python-exercises
\google-python-exercises\hello.py John

to make it easier to read, let's just shorten this to:

C:\> hello.py John

argv represents all the items that come along via the command-line input, but counting starts at zero (0) not one (1): in this case, "hello.py" is element 0, "John" is element 1

in other words, sys.argv[0] == 'hello.py' and sys.argv[1] == 'John' ... but look, how many elements is this? 2, right! so even though the numbers are 0 and 1, there are 2 elements here.

len(sys.argv) >= 2 just checks whether you entered at least two elements. in this case, we entered exactly 2.

now let's translate your code into English:

define main() function:
    if there are at least 2 elements on the cmd-line:
        set 'name' to the second element located at index 1, e.g., John
    otherwise there is only 1 element... the program name, e.g., hello.py:
        set 'name' to "World" (since we did not get any useful user input)
    display 'Hello' followed by whatever i assigned to 'name'

so what does this mean? it means that if you enter:

  • "hello.py", the code outputs "Hello World" because you didn't give a name
  • "hello.py John", the code outputs "Hello John" because you did
  • "hello.py John Paul", the code still outputs "Hello John" because it does not save nor use sys.argv[2], which was "Paul" -- can you see in this case that len(sys.argv) == 3 because there are 3 elements in the sys.argv list?

If this is just for debugging output, you can use the following to see all the types and values as well.

var_dump($obj);

If you want more control over the output you can use this:

foreach ($obj as $key => $value) {
    echo "$key => $value\n";
}

cannot resolve symbol javafx.application in IntelliJ Idea IDE

You need to download the java-openjfx package from the official Arch Linux repos. (Also, make sure you have the openjdk8-openjdk package). After doing that, open your project in Intellij and go to Project-Structure -> SDKs -> 1.8 -> Classpath and try removing the old JDK you had and clicking on the directory for the new JDK that will now contain jfxrt.jar.

SQL grammar for SELECT MIN(DATE)

To get the titles for dates greater than a week ago today, use this:

SELECT title, MIN(date_key_no) AS intro_date FROM table HAVING MIN(date_key_no)>= TO_NUMBER(TO_CHAR(SysDate, 'YYYYMMDD')) - 7

SQL Server - boolean literal?

This isn't mentioned in any of the other answers. If you want a value that orms (should) hydrate as boolean you can use

CONVERT(bit, 0) -- false CONVERT(bit, 1) -- true

This gives you a bit which is not a boolean. You cannot use that value in an if statement for example:

IF CONVERT(bit, 0)
BEGIN
    print 'Yay'
END

woudl not parse. You would still need to write

IF CONVERT(bit, 0) = 0

So its not terribly useful.

Android ListView with Checkbox and all clickable

Set the CheckBox as focusable="false" in your XML layout. Otherwise it will steal click events from the list view.

Of course, if you do this, you need to manually handle marking the CheckBox as checked/unchecked if the list item is clicked instead of the CheckBox, but you probably want that anyway.

REST API Token-based Authentication

A pure RESTful API should use the underlying protocol standard features:

  1. For HTTP, the RESTful API should comply with existing HTTP standard headers. Adding a new HTTP header violates the REST principles. Do not re-invent the wheel, use all the standard features in HTTP/1.1 standards - including status response codes, headers, and so on. RESTFul web services should leverage and rely upon the HTTP standards.

  2. RESTful services MUST be STATELESS. Any tricks, such as token based authentication that attempts to remember the state of previous REST requests on the server violates the REST principles. Again, this is a MUST; that is, if you web server saves any request/response context related information on the server in attempt to establish any sort of session on the server, then your web service is NOT Stateless. And if it is NOT stateless it is NOT RESTFul.

Bottom-line: For authentication/authorization purposes you should use HTTP standard authorization header. That is, you should add the HTTP authorization / authentication header in each subsequent request that needs to be authenticated. The REST API should follow the HTTP Authentication Scheme standards.The specifics of how this header should be formatted are defined in the RFC 2616 HTTP 1.1 standards – section 14.8 Authorization of RFC 2616, and in the RFC 2617 HTTP Authentication: Basic and Digest Access Authentication.

I have developed a RESTful service for the Cisco Prime Performance Manager application. Search Google for the REST API document that I wrote for that application for more details about RESTFul API compliance here. In that implementation, I have chosen to use HTTP "Basic" Authorization scheme. - check out version 1.5 or above of that REST API document, and search for authorization in the document.

Find the maximum value in a list of tuples in Python

Use max():

 
Using itemgetter():

In [53]: lis=[(101, 153), (255, 827), (361, 961)]

In [81]: from operator import itemgetter

In [82]: max(lis,key=itemgetter(1))[0]    #faster solution
Out[82]: 361

using lambda:

    Template ocrengineTemplate;
    Result ocrengineResults;
    try {

        ocrengineLookup = Lookups.metaInfServices(getClassLoaderForExtraModule());//this load the OCREngine in the extra module as well
        ocrengineTemplate = new Template(OCREngine.class);
        ocrengineResults = ocrengineLookup.lookup(ocrengineTemplate); 
        ocrengines = ocrengineResults.allInstances();//all OCREngines must implement the defined interface in OCREngine. Reference to guideline of implement org.openide.util.Lookup for more information

    } catch (Exception ex) {

    //foreach( filepath: external file *.JAR) with each external file *.JAR, do as follows
    File jar = new File(filepath);
    JarFile jf = new JarFile(jar);
    urls.add(jar.toURI().toURL());
    Manifest mf = jf.getManifest(); // If the jar has a class-path in it's manifest add it's entries

Convert a binary NodeJS Buffer to JavaScript ArrayBuffer

NodeJS, at one point (I think it was v0.6.x) had ArrayBuffer support. I created a small library for base64 encoding and decoding here, but since updating to v0.7, the tests (on NodeJS) fail. I'm thinking of creating something that normalizes this, but till then, I suppose Node's native Buffer should be used.

Connecting to SQL Server Express - What is my server name?

Similar to what StuartLC was saying, my problem was not resolved until I enabled TCP/IP protocol under SQL Network Configuration>>Protocols for MSSQLSERVER in the SQL Server Configuration Manager dialogue box. After enabling this and a restart, my SSMS connected right away with just the instance name (no ~\MSSQLSERVER).

Double vs. BigDecimal?

There are two main differences from double:

  • Arbitrary precision, similarly to BigInteger they can contain number of arbitrary precision and size
  • Base 10 instead of Base 2, a BigDecimal is n*10^scale where n is an arbitrary large signed integer and scale can be thought of as the number of digits to move the decimal point left or right

The reason you should use BigDecimal for monetary calculations is not that it can represent any number, but that it can represent all numbers that can be represented in decimal notion and that include virtually all numbers in the monetary world (you never transfer 1/3 $ to someone).

What is difference between cacerts and keystore?

cacerts is where Java stores public certificates of root CAs. Java uses cacerts to authenticate the servers.

Keystore is where Java stores the private keys of the clients so that it can share it to the server when the server requests client authentication.

FULL OUTER JOIN vs. FULL JOIN

Actually they are the same. LEFT OUTER JOIN is same as LEFT JOIN and RIGHT OUTER JOIN is same as RIGHT JOIN. It is more informative way to compare from INNER Join.

Can inner classes access private variables?

var is not a member of inner class.

To access var, a pointer or reference to an outer class instance should be used. e.g. pOuter->var will work if the inner class is a friend of outer, or, var is public, if one follows C++ standard strictly.

Some compilers treat inner classes as the friend of the outer, but some may not. See this document for IBM compiler:

"A nested class is declared within the scope of another class. The name of a nested class is local to its enclosing class. Unless you use explicit pointers, references, or object names, declarations in a nested class can only use visible constructs, including type names, static members, and enumerators from the enclosing class and global variables.

Member functions of a nested class follow regular access rules and have no special access privileges to members of their enclosing classes. Member functions of the enclosing class have no special access to members of a nested class."

android - listview get item view by position

This is the Kotlin version of the function posted by VVB. I used it in the ListView Adapter to implement the "go to next row first EditText when Enter key is pressed on the last EditText of current row" feature in the getView().

In the ListViewAdapter class, fun getView(), add lastEditText.setOnKeyListner as below:

lastEditText.setOnKeyListener { v, keyCode, event ->
    var setOnKeyListener = false
    if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER && event.action == KeyEvent.ACTION_UP) {
        try {
            val nextRow = getViewByPosition(position + 1, parent as ListView) as LinearLayout
            val nextET = nextRow.findViewById(R.id.firstEditText) as EditText
            nextET.isFocusableInTouchMode = true
            nextET.requestFocus()
        } catch (e: Exception) {
            // do nothing
        }
        setOnKeyListener = true
    }
    setOnKeyListener
}

add the fun getViewByPosition() after fun getView() as below:

private fun getViewByPosition(pos: Int, listView: ListView): View? {
    val firstListItemPosition: Int = listView.firstVisiblePosition
    val lastListItemPosition: Int = firstListItemPosition + listView.childCount - 1
    return if (pos < firstListItemPosition || pos > lastListItemPosition) {
        listView.adapter.getView(pos, null, listView)
    } else {
        val childIndex = pos + listView.headerViewsCount - firstListItemPosition
        listView.getChildAt(childIndex)
    }
}

A potentially dangerous Request.Path value was detected from the client (*)

If you're using .NET 4.0 you should be able to allow these urls via the web.config

<system.web>
    <httpRuntime 
            requestPathInvalidCharacters="&lt;,&gt;,%,&amp;,:,\,?" />
</system.web>

Note, I've just removed the asterisk (*), the original default string is:

<httpRuntime 
          requestPathInvalidCharacters="&lt;,&gt;,*,%,&amp;,:,\,?" />

See this question for more details.

java.io.InvalidClassException: local class incompatible:

If a class does not explicitly define a private static final long serialVersionUID in the code it will be autogenerated, and there is no guarantee that different machines will generate the same id; it looks like that is exactly what happened. Also if the classes are different in any way (using different versions of the class) the autogenerated serialVersionUIDs will also be different.

From the Serializable interface's docs:

If a serializable class does not explicitly declare a serialVersionUID, then the serialization runtime will calculate a default serialVersionUID value for that class based on various aspects of the class, as described in the Java(TM) Object Serialization Specification. However, it is strongly recommended that all serializable classes explicitly declare serialVersionUID values, since the default serialVersionUID computation is highly sensitive to class details that may vary depending on compiler implementations, and can thus result in unexpected InvalidClassExceptions during deserialization. Therefore, to guarantee a consistent serialVersionUID value across different java compiler implementations, a serializable class must declare an explicit serialVersionUID value. It is also strongly advised that explicit serialVersionUID declarations use the private modifier where possible, since such declarations apply only to the immediately declaring class--serialVersionUID fields are not useful as inherited members. Array classes cannot declare an explicit serialVersionUID, so they always have the default computed value, but the requirement for matching serialVersionUID values is waived for array classes.

You should define a serialVersionUID in the class definition, e.g.:

class MyClass implements Serializable {
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 6529685098267757690L;
    ...

How to run a shell script at startup

  • Add your script to /etc/init.d/ directory
  • Update your rc run-levels: $ update-rc.d myScript.sh defaults NN where NN is the order in which it should be executed. 99 for example will mean it would be run after 98 and before 100.

Converting Numpy Array to OpenCV Array

This is what worked for me...

import cv2
import numpy as np

#Created an image (really an ndarray) with three channels 
new_image = np.ndarray((3, num_rows, num_cols), dtype=int)

#Did manipulations for my project where my array values went way over 255
#Eventually returned numbers to between 0 and 255

#Converted the datatype to np.uint8
new_image = new_image.astype(np.uint8)

#Separated the channels in my new image
new_image_red, new_image_green, new_image_blue = new_image

#Stacked the channels
new_rgb = np.dstack([new_image_red, new_image_green, new_image_blue])

#Displayed the image
cv2.imshow("WindowNameHere", new_rgbrgb)
cv2.waitKey(0)

LINQ Group By into a Dictionary Object

I cannot comment on @Michael Blackburn, but I guess you got the downvote because the GroupBy is not necessary in this case.

Use it like:

var lookupOfCustomObjects = listOfCustomObjects.ToLookup(o=>o.PropertyName);
var listWithAllCustomObjectsWithPropertyName = lookupOfCustomObjects[propertyName]

Additionally, I've seen this perform way better than when using GroupBy().ToDictionary().

ASP.NET Core form POST results in a HTTP 415 Unsupported Media Type response

In my case, I received the HTTP 415 Unsupported Media Type response, since I specified the content type to be TEXT and NOT JSON, so simply changing the type solved the issue.

OTP (token) should be automatically read from the message

I implemented something of that such. But, here is what I did when the message comes in, I retrieve only the six digit code, bundle it in an intent and send it to the activity or fragment needing it and verifies the code. The example shows you the way to get the sms already. Look at the code below for illustration on how to send using LocalBrodcastManager and if your message contains more texts E.g Greetings, standardize it to help you better. E.g "Your verification code is: 84HG73" you can create a regex pattern like this ([0-9]){2}([A-Z]){2}([0-9]){2} which means two ints, two [capital] letters and two ints. Good Luck!

After discarding all un needed info from the message

 Intent intent = new Intent("AddedItem");
 intent.putExtra("items", code);
 LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(getActivity()).sendBroadcast(intent); 

And the Fragment/Activity receiving it

@Override
public void onResume() {
    LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(getActivity()).registerReceiver(receiver, new IntentFilter("AddedItem"));
    super.onResume();
}

@Override
public void onPause() {
    super.onDestroy();
    LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(getActivity()).unregisterReceiver(receiver);
}

And the code meant to handle the payload you collected

 private BroadcastReceiver receiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        if (intent.getAction()) {
            final String message = intent.getStringExtra("message");
            //Do whatever you want with the code here
        }
    }
};

Does that help a little bit. I did it better by using Callbacks

Could not connect to SMTP host: localhost, port: 25; nested exception is: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect

The mail server on CentOS 6 and other IPv6 capable server platforms may be bound to IPv6 localhost (::1) instead of IPv4 localhost (127.0.0.1).

Typical symptoms:

[root@host /]# telnet 127.0.0.1 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused

[root@host /]# telnet localhost 25

If this happens, make sure that you don't have two entries for localhost in /etc/hosts with different IP addresses, like this (bad) example:

[root@host /]# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost localhost4.localdomain4 localhost4
::1       localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6

To avoid confusion, make sure you only have one entry for localhost, preferably an IPv4 address, like this:

[root@host /]# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost  localhost.localdomain   localhost4.localdomain4 localhost4
::1       localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6

How to concat two ArrayLists?

You can use .addAll() to add the elements of the second list to the first:

array1.addAll(array2);

Edit: Based on your clarification above ("i want a single String in the new Arraylist which has both name and number."), you would want to loop through the first list and append the item from the second list to it.

Something like this:

int length = array1.size();
if (length != array2.size()) { // Too many names, or too many numbers
    // Fail
}
ArrayList<String> array3 = new ArrayList<String>(length); // Make a new list
for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) { // Loop through every name/phone number combo
    array3.add(array1.get(i) + " " + array2.get(i)); // Concat the two, and add it
}

If you put in:

array1 : ["a", "b", "c"]
array2 : ["1", "2", "3"]

You will get:

array3 : ["a 1", "b 2", "c 3"]

Type List vs type ArrayList in Java

List is an interface. It doesn't have methods. When you call a method on a List reference, it in fact calls the method of ArrayList in both cases.

And for the future you can change List obj = new ArrayList<> to List obj = new LinkList<> or other types which implement List interface.

Difference between app.use and app.get in express.js

There are 3 main differences I have found till now. The 3rd one is not so obvious and you may find it interesting. The differences are the same for the express router. That means router.use() and router.get() or other post, put, all, etc methods has also same difference.

1

  • app.use(path, callback) will respond to any HTTP request.
  • app.get(path, callback) will only respond to GET HTTP request. In the same way, post, put, etc will respond to their corresponding request. app.all() responds to any HTTP request so app.use() and app.all() are the same in this part.

2

  • app.use(path, callback) will match the prefix of the request path and responds if any prefix of the request path matches the path parameter. Such as if the path parameter is "/", then it will match "/", "/about", "/users/123" etc.
  • app.get(path, callback) Here get will match the whole path. Same for other HTTP requests and app.all(). Such as, if the path parameter is "/", then it will only match "/".

3

next('route') doesn't work on the middleware/callback functions of app.use(). It works only on app.get(), app.all() and other similar function of other HTTP requests.

According to express documentation:

next('route') will work only in middleware functions that were loaded by using the app.METHOD() or router.METHOD() functions.

METHOD is the HTTP method of the request that the middleware function handles (such as GET, PUT, or POST) in lowercase.

From here we will use the keyword METHOD instead of get, post, all, etc.
But what is next('route')?!

Let's see.

next('route')

we see, app.use() or app.METHOD() can take several callback/middleware functions.

From the express documentation:

Middleware functions are functions that have access to the request object (req), the response object (res), and the next middleware function in the application’s request-response cycle. The next middleware function is commonly denoted by a variable named next.

If the current middleware function does not end the request-response cycle, it must call next() to pass control to the next middleware function. Otherwise, the request will be left hanging.

So we see each middleware functions have to either call the next middleware function or end the response. And this is same for app.use() and app.METHOD().

But sometimes in some conditions, you may want to skip all the next callback functions for the current route but also don't want to end the response right now. Because maybe there are other routes which should be matched. So to skip all the callback functions of the current route without ending the response, you can run next('route'). It will skip all the callback functions of the current route and search to match the next routes.

For Example (From express documentation):

app.get('/user/:id', function (req, res, next) {
  // if the user ID is 0, skip to the next route
  if (req.params.id === '0') next('route')
  // otherwise pass the control to the next middleware function in this stack
  else next()
}, function (req, res, next) {
  // send a regular response
  res.send('regular')
})

// handler for the /user/:id path, which sends a special response
app.get('/user/:id', function (req, res, next) {
  res.send('special')
})

See, here in a certain condition(req.params.id === '0') we want to skip the next callback function but also don't want to end the response because there is another route of the same path parameter which will be matched and that route will send a special response. (Yeah, it is valid to use the same path parameter for the same METHOD several times. In such cases, all the routes will be matched until the response ends). So in such cases, we run the next('route') and all the callback function of the current route is skipped. Here if the condition is not met then we call the next callback function.

This next('route') behavior is only possible in the app.METHOD() functions.

Recalling from express documentation:

next('route') will work only in middleware functions that were loaded by using the app.METHOD() or router.METHOD() functions.

Since skipping all callback functions of the current route is not possible in app.use(), we should be careful here. We should only use the middleware functions in app.use() which need not be skipped in any condition. Because we either have to end the response or traverse all the callback functions from beginning to end, we can not skip them at all.

Where is web.xml in Eclipse Dynamic Web Project

If you missed to check the "generate web.xml" option when creating a new project, no worries If it is a Dynamic Web Project in your project right click on "Deployment Descriptor:...." and Click on "Generate Deployment Descriptor Stub" this will create a minimal /webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml.

Creating pdf files at runtime in c#

Well, free and not-for-free, I use WebSuperGoo ABCpdf .NET component, that I just love it!

not-for-free because you need to pay for it.

for free because even if you have to pay, they have a trial version and you can request a free license if you do not mind that, in your site show "This site uses WebSuperGoo ABCpdf .NET component" with a link to their website.

I did that and I got a free license (version 5 in that time) so, I can say that it works (even if the website is no longer online) - I still have and use the component ~:)

A wonderful thing that I love with this is that you can do everything that you can thing off with this, create PDF forms and dynamically fill them and send to user by mail or have them to download it, create a pdf from scratch, convert HTML pages into PDF, etc etc etc, please read the documentation, it is a wonderful component.

what is the difference between $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] and $_GET['q']?

In the context of Drupal, the difference will depend whether clean URLs are on or not.

With them off, $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] will have the full path of the page as called w/ /index.php, while $_GET["q"] will just have what is assigned to q.

With them on, they will be nearly identical w/o other arguments, but $_GET["q"] will be missing the leading /. Take a look towards the end of the default .htaccess to see what is going on. They will also differ if additional arguments are passed into the page, eg when a pager is active.

change cursor from block or rectangle to line?

You're in replace mode. Press the Insert key on your keyboard to switch back to insert mode. Many applications that handle text have this in common.

Converting bytes to megabytes

Divide by 2 to the power of 20, (1024*1024) bytes = 1 megabyte

1024*1024 = 1,048,576   
2^20 = 1,048,576
1,048,576/1,048,576 = 1  

It is the same thing.

How to filter wireshark to see only dns queries that are sent/received from/by my computer?

use this filter:

(dns.flags.response == 0) and (ip.src == 159.25.78.7)

what this query does is it only gives dns queries originated from your ip

How to avoid annoying error "declared and not used"

One angle not so far mentioned is tool sets used for editing the code.

Using Visual Studio Code along with the Extension from lukehoban called Go will do some auto-magic for you. The Go extension automatically runs gofmt, golint etc, and removes and adds import entries. So at least that part is now automatic.

I will admit its not 100% of the solution to the question, but however useful enough.

How to change column datatype in SQL database without losing data

Alter column data type with check type of column :

IF EXISTS(
       SELECT 1
       FROM   sys.columns
       WHERE  NAME = 'YourColumnName'
              AND [object_id] = OBJECT_ID('dbo.YourTable')
              AND TYPE_NAME(system_type_id) = 'int'
   )
    ALTER TABLE dbo.YourTable ALTER COLUMN YourColumnName BIT

Undoing accidental git stash pop

If your merge was not too complicated another option would be to:

  1. Move all the changes including the merge changes back to stash using "git stash"
  2. Run the merge again and commit your changes (without the changes from the dropped stash)
  3. Run a "git stash pop" which should ignore all the changes from your previous merge since the files are identical now.

After that you are left with only the changes from the stash you dropped too early.

Java - checking if parseInt throws exception

It would be something like this.

String text = textArea.getText();
Scanner reader = new Scanner(text).useDelimiter("\n");
while(reader.hasNext())
    String line = reader.next();

    try{
        Integer.parseInt(line);
        //it worked
    }
    catch(NumberFormatException e){
       //it failed
    }
}

File input 'accept' attribute - is it useful?

It's been a few years, and Chrome at least makes use of this attribute. This attribute is very useful from a usability standpoint as it will filter out the unnecessary files for the user, making their experience smoother. However, the user can still select "all files" from the type (or otherwise bypass the filter), thus you should always validate the file where it is actually used; If you're using it on the server, validate it there before using it. The user can always bypass any client-side scripting.

Objective-C: Extract filename from path string

If you're displaying a user-readable file name, you do not want to use lastPathComponent. Instead, pass the full path to NSFileManager's displayNameAtPath: method. This basically does does the same thing, only it correctly localizes the file name and removes the extension based on the user's preferences.

How to sort multidimensional array by column?

The optional key parameter to sort/sorted is a function. The function is called for each item and the return values determine the ordering of the sort

>>> lst = [['John', 2], ['Jim', 9], ['Jason', 1]]
>>> def my_key_func(item):
...     print("The key for {} is {}".format(item, item[1]))
...     return item[1]
... 
>>> sorted(lst, key=my_key_func)
The key for ['John', 2] is 2
The key for ['Jim', 9] is 9
The key for ['Jason', 1] is 1
[['Jason', 1], ['John', 2], ['Jim', 9]]

taking the print out of the function leaves

>>> def my_key_func(item):
...     return item[1]

This function is simple enough to write "inline" as a lambda function

>>> sorted(lst, key=lambda item: item[1])
[['Jason', 1], ['John', 2], ['Jim', 9]]

How can one see the structure of a table in SQLite?

You should be able to see the schema by running

Android Studio: Plugin with id 'android-library' not found

In later versions, the plugin has changed name to:

apply plugin: 'com.android.library'

And as already mentioned by some of the other answers, you need the gradle tools in order to use it. Using 3.0.1, you have to use the google repo, not mavenCentral or jcenter:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        ...
        //In IntelliJ or older versions of Android Studio
        //maven {
        //   url 'https://maven.google.com'
        //}
        google()//in newer versions of Android Studio
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1'
    }
}

How to select only the records with the highest date in LINQ

If you want the whole record,here is a lambda way:

var q = _context
             .lasttraces
             .GroupBy(s => s.AccountId)
             .Select(s => s.OrderByDescending(x => x.Date).FirstOrDefault());

Compare object instances for equality by their attributes

Implement the __eq__ method in your class; something like this:

def __eq__(self, other):
    return self.path == other.path and self.title == other.title

Edit: if you want your objects to compare equal if and only if they have equal instance dictionaries:

def __eq__(self, other):
    return self.__dict__ == other.__dict__

how to convert object into string in php

You can tailor how your object is represented as a string by implementing a __toString() method in your class, so that when your object is type cast as a string (explicit type cast $str = (string) $myObject;, or automatic echo $myObject) you can control what is included and the string format.

If you only want to display your object's data, the method above would work. If you want to store your object in a session or database, you need to serialize it, so PHP knows how to reconstruct your instance.

Some code to demonstrate the difference:

class MyObject {

  protected $name = 'JJ';

  public function __toString() {
    return "My name is: {$this->name}\n";
  }

}

$obj = new MyObject;

echo $obj;
echo serialize($obj);

Output:

My name is: JJ

O:8:"MyObject":1:{s:7:"*name";s:2:"JJ";}

What is logits, softmax and softmax_cross_entropy_with_logits?

Short version:

Suppose you have two tensors, where y_hat contains computed scores for each class (for example, from y = W*x +b) and y_true contains one-hot encoded true labels.

y_hat  = ... # Predicted label, e.g. y = tf.matmul(X, W) + b
y_true = ... # True label, one-hot encoded

If you interpret the scores in y_hat as unnormalized log probabilities, then they are logits.

Additionally, the total cross-entropy loss computed in this manner:

y_hat_softmax = tf.nn.softmax(y_hat)
total_loss = tf.reduce_mean(-tf.reduce_sum(y_true * tf.log(y_hat_softmax), [1]))

is essentially equivalent to the total cross-entropy loss computed with the function softmax_cross_entropy_with_logits():

total_loss = tf.reduce_mean(tf.nn.softmax_cross_entropy_with_logits(y_hat, y_true))

Long version:

In the output layer of your neural network, you will probably compute an array that contains the class scores for each of your training instances, such as from a computation y_hat = W*x + b. To serve as an example, below I've created a y_hat as a 2 x 3 array, where the rows correspond to the training instances and the columns correspond to classes. So here there are 2 training instances and 3 classes.

import tensorflow as tf
import numpy as np

sess = tf.Session()

# Create example y_hat.
y_hat = tf.convert_to_tensor(np.array([[0.5, 1.5, 0.1],[2.2, 1.3, 1.7]]))
sess.run(y_hat)
# array([[ 0.5,  1.5,  0.1],
#        [ 2.2,  1.3,  1.7]])

Note that the values are not normalized (i.e. the rows don't add up to 1). In order to normalize them, we can apply the softmax function, which interprets the input as unnormalized log probabilities (aka logits) and outputs normalized linear probabilities.

y_hat_softmax = tf.nn.softmax(y_hat)
sess.run(y_hat_softmax)
# array([[ 0.227863  ,  0.61939586,  0.15274114],
#        [ 0.49674623,  0.20196195,  0.30129182]])

It's important to fully understand what the softmax output is saying. Below I've shown a table that more clearly represents the output above. It can be seen that, for example, the probability of training instance 1 being "Class 2" is 0.619. The class probabilities for each training instance are normalized, so the sum of each row is 1.0.

                      Pr(Class 1)  Pr(Class 2)  Pr(Class 3)
                    ,--------------------------------------
Training instance 1 | 0.227863   | 0.61939586 | 0.15274114
Training instance 2 | 0.49674623 | 0.20196195 | 0.30129182

So now we have class probabilities for each training instance, where we can take the argmax() of each row to generate a final classification. From above, we may generate that training instance 1 belongs to "Class 2" and training instance 2 belongs to "Class 1".

Are these classifications correct? We need to measure against the true labels from the training set. You will need a one-hot encoded y_true array, where again the rows are training instances and columns are classes. Below I've created an example y_true one-hot array where the true label for training instance 1 is "Class 2" and the true label for training instance 2 is "Class 3".

y_true = tf.convert_to_tensor(np.array([[0.0, 1.0, 0.0],[0.0, 0.0, 1.0]]))
sess.run(y_true)
# array([[ 0.,  1.,  0.],
#        [ 0.,  0.,  1.]])

Is the probability distribution in y_hat_softmax close to the probability distribution in y_true? We can use cross-entropy loss to measure the error.

Formula for cross-entropy loss

We can compute the cross-entropy loss on a row-wise basis and see the results. Below we can see that training instance 1 has a loss of 0.479, while training instance 2 has a higher loss of 1.200. This result makes sense because in our example above, y_hat_softmax showed that training instance 1's highest probability was for "Class 2", which matches training instance 1 in y_true; however, the prediction for training instance 2 showed a highest probability for "Class 1", which does not match the true class "Class 3".

loss_per_instance_1 = -tf.reduce_sum(y_true * tf.log(y_hat_softmax), reduction_indices=[1])
sess.run(loss_per_instance_1)
# array([ 0.4790107 ,  1.19967598])

What we really want is the total loss over all the training instances. So we can compute:

total_loss_1 = tf.reduce_mean(-tf.reduce_sum(y_true * tf.log(y_hat_softmax), reduction_indices=[1]))
sess.run(total_loss_1)
# 0.83934333897877944

Using softmax_cross_entropy_with_logits()

We can instead compute the total cross entropy loss using the tf.nn.softmax_cross_entropy_with_logits() function, as shown below.

loss_per_instance_2 = tf.nn.softmax_cross_entropy_with_logits(y_hat, y_true)
sess.run(loss_per_instance_2)
# array([ 0.4790107 ,  1.19967598])

total_loss_2 = tf.reduce_mean(tf.nn.softmax_cross_entropy_with_logits(y_hat, y_true))
sess.run(total_loss_2)
# 0.83934333897877922

Note that total_loss_1 and total_loss_2 produce essentially equivalent results with some small differences in the very final digits. However, you might as well use the second approach: it takes one less line of code and accumulates less numerical error because the softmax is done for you inside of softmax_cross_entropy_with_logits().

jQuery: selecting each td in a tr

expanding on the answer above the 'each' function will return you the table-cell html object. wrapping that in $() will then allow you to perform jquery actions on it.

CSS Cursor:Pointer; is a great solution. FastClick https://github.com/ftlabs/fastclick is another solution which doesn't require you to change css if you didn't want Cursor:Pointer; on an element for some reason. I use fastclick now anyway to eliminate the 300ms delay on iOS devices.

ldap_bind: Invalid Credentials (49)

I don't see an obvious problem with the above.

It's possible your ldap.conf is being overridden, but the command-line options will take precedence, ldapsearch will ignore BINDDN in the main ldap.conf, so the only parameter that could be wrong is the URI. (The order is ETCDIR/ldap.conf then ~/ldaprc or ~/.ldaprc and then ldaprc in the current directory, though there environment variables which can influence this too, see man ldapconf.)

Try an explicit URI:

ldapsearch -x -W -D 'cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com' -b "" -s base -H ldap://localhost

or prevent defaults with:

LDAPNOINIT=1 ldapsearch -x -W -D 'cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com' -b "" -s base

If that doesn't work, then some troubleshooting (you'll probably need the full path to the slapd binary for these):

  • make sure your slapd.conf is being used and is correct (as root)

    slapd -T test -f slapd.conf -d 65535

    You may have a left-over or default slapd.d configuration directory which takes preference over your slapd.conf (unless you specify your config explicitly with -f, slapd.conf is officially deprecated in OpenLDAP-2.4). If you don't get several pages of output then your binaries were built without debug support.

  • stop OpenLDAP, then manually start slapd in a separate terminal/console with debug enabled (as root, ^C to quit)

    slapd -h ldap://localhost -d 481

    then retry the search and see if you can spot the problem (there will be a lot of schema noise in the start of the output unfortunately). (Note: running slapd without the -u/-g options can change file ownerships which can cause problems, you should usually use those options, probably -u ldap -g ldap )

  • if debug is enabled, then try also

    ldapsearch -v -d 63 -W -D 'cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com' -b "" -s base

How to read request body in an asp.net core webapi controller?

for read of Body , you can to read asynchronously.

use the async method like follow:

public async Task<IActionResult> GetBody()
{
      string body="";
      using (StreamReader stream = new StreamReader(Request.Body))
      {
           body = await stream.ReadToEndAsync();
      }
    return Json(body);
}

Test with postman:

enter image description here

It's working well and tested in Asp.net core version 2.0 , 2.1 , 2.2, 3.0.

I hope is useful.

java.time.format.DateTimeParseException: Text could not be parsed at index 21

What is the best way to test for an empty string with jquery-out-of-the-box?

What's the CMake syntax to set and use variables?

$ENV{FOO} for usage, where FOO is being picked up from the environment variable. otherwise use as ${FOO}, where FOO is some other variable. For setting, SET(FOO "foo") would be used in CMake.

Pandas - 'Series' object has no attribute 'colNames' when using apply()

When you use df.apply(), each row of your DataFrame will be passed to your lambda function as a pandas Series. The frame's columns will then be the index of the series and you can access values using series[label].

So this should work:

df['D'] = (df.apply(lambda x: myfunc(x[colNames[0]], x[colNames[1]]), axis=1)) 

How to find server name of SQL Server Management Studio

I also had this problem first time.

In the Connect to Server dialog box, verify the default settings, and then click Connect. To connect, the Server name box must contain the name of the computer where SQL Server is installed. If the Database Engine is a named instance, the Server name box should also contain the instance name in the format: computer_name\instance_name.

So for example i solved the problem like this: I typed in the server name: Alex-PC\SQLEXPRESS

Then it should work. for more see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/25ffaea6-0eee-4169-8dd0-1da417c28fc6

Install Qt on Ubuntu

Install Qt

sudo apt-get install build-essential

sudo apt-get install qtcreator

sudo apt-get install qt5-default

Install documentation and examples If Qt Creator is installed thanks to the Ubuntu Sofware Center or thanks to the synaptic package manager, documentation for Qt Creator is not installed. Hitting the F1 key will show you the following message : "No documentation available". This can easily be solved by installing the Qt documentation:

sudo apt-get install qt5-doc

sudo apt-get install qt5-doc-html qtbase5-doc-html

sudo apt-get install qtbase5-examples

Restart Qt Creator to make the documentation available.

Error while loading shared libraries

Problem:

radiusd: error while loading shared libraries: libfreeradius-radius-2.1.10.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Reason:

Actually, the libraries have been installed in a place where dynamic linker cannot find it.

Solution:

While this is not a guarantee but using the following command may help you solve the “cannot open shared object file” error:

sudo /sbin/ldconfig -v

Iterator Loop vs index loop

The nice thing about iterator is that later on if you wanted to switch your vector to a another STD container. Then the forloop will still work.

How do I implement charts in Bootstrap?

Later than my previous answer, but may be useful anyway; while gRaphaël Charting may be an outdated alternative, a more recent and nicer option may be http://chartjs.org - still without any Flash, with a MIT license, and a recently updated GitHub.

I've been using it myself since my last answer, so now I have some web apps with one and some with the other.

If you are starting a project anew, try with Chart.js first.

JDBC ODBC Driver Connection

Didn't work with ODBC-Bridge for me too. I got the way around to initialize ODBC connection using ODBC driver.

 import java.sql.*;  
 public class UserLogin
 {
     public static void main(String[] args)
     {
        try
        {    
            Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");

            // C:\\databaseFileName.accdb" - location of your database 
           String url = "jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb, *.accdb)};DBQ=" + "C:\\emp.accdb";

            // specify url, username, pasword - make sure these are valid 
            Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, "username", "password");

            System.out.println("Connection Succesfull");
         } 
         catch (Exception e) 
         {
            System.err.println("Got an exception! ");
            System.err.println(e.getMessage());

          }
      }
  }

GitLab remote: HTTP Basic: Access denied and fatal Authentication

There are two ways I got around this problem:

  1. I added my username to the front of the remote URL (https://username@gitRepoURL)

    • Not always the best solution; where I work, even though we're slowly moving towards using GIT, we have our applications on a network drive, so if I do this, only I can push changes even if someone else worked on a feature.
  2. I can't run git config --system --unset credential.helper from GIT Bash, so I had to open up an Admin Command Prompt and run it there (this assumes you installed GIT such that it can run from both GIT Bash and the Command Prompt). From Bash, I get a "could not lock config file" error.

Open a URL in a new tab (and not a new window)

enter image description here

I researched a lot of information about how to open new tab and stay on the same tab. I have found one small trick to do it. Lets assume you have url which you need to open - newUrl and old url - currentUrl, which you need to stay on after new tab opened. JS code will look something like next:

// init urls
let newUrl = 'http://example.com';
let currentUrl = window.location.href;
// open window with url of current page, you will be automatically moved 
// by browser to a new opened tab. It will look like your page is reloaded
// and you will stay on same page but with new page opened
window.open(currentUrl , '_blank');
// on your current tab will be opened new url
location.href = newUrl;

Docker compose port mapping

It seems like the other answers here all misunderstood your question. If I understand correctly, you want to make requests to localhost:6379 (the default for redis) and have them be forwarded, automatically, to the same port on your redis container.

https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/101906/38639 helped me get to the right answer.

First, you'll need to install the nc command on your image. On CentOS, this package is called nmap-ncat, so in the example below, just replace this with the appropriate package if you are using a different OS as your base image.

Next, you'll need to tell it to run a certain command each time the container boots up. You can do this using CMD.

# Add this to your Dockerfile
RUN yum install -y --setopt=skip_missing_names_on_install=False nmap-ncat
COPY cmd.sh /usr/local/bin/cmd.sh
RUN chmod +x /usr/local/bin/cmd.sh
CMD ["/usr/local/bin/cmd.sh"]

Finally, we'll need to set up port-forwarding in cmd.sh. I found that nc, even with the -l and -k options, will occasionally terminate when a request is completed, so I'm using a while-loop to ensure that it's always running.

# cmd.sh
#! /usr/bin/env bash

while nc -l -p 6379 -k -c "nc redis 6379" || true; do true; done &

tail -f /dev/null # Or any other command that never exits

Defining static const integer members in class definition

Another way to do this, for integer types anyway, is to define constants as enums in the class:

class test
{
public:
    enum { N = 10 };
};

Convert List<DerivedClass> to List<BaseClass>

This is an extension to BigJim's brilliant answer.

In my case I had a NodeBase class with a Children dictionary, and I needed a way to generically do O(1) lookups from the children. I was attempting to return a private dictionary field in the getter of Children, so obviously I wanted to avoid expensive copying/iterating. Therefore I used Bigjim's code to cast the Dictionary<whatever specific type> to a generic Dictionary<NodeBase>:

// Abstract parent class
public abstract class NodeBase
{
    public abstract IDictionary<string, NodeBase> Children { get; }
    ...
}

// Implementing child class
public class RealNode : NodeBase
{
    private Dictionary<string, RealNode> containedNodes;

    public override IDictionary<string, NodeBase> Children
    {
        // Using a modification of Bigjim's code to cast the Dictionary:
        return new IDictionary<string, NodeBase>().CastDictionary<string, RealNode, NodeBase>();
    }
    ...
}

This worked well. However, I eventually ran into unrelated limitations and ended up creating an abstract FindChild() method in the base class that would do the lookups instead. As it turned out this eliminated the need for the casted dictionary in the first place. (I was able to replace it with a simple IEnumerable for my purposes.)

So the question you might ask (especially if performance is an issue prohibiting you from using .Cast<> or .ConvertAll<>) is:

"Do I really need to cast the entire collection, or can I use an abstract method to hold the special knowledge needed to perform the task and thereby avoid directly accessing the collection?"

Sometimes the simplest solution is the best.

How to create JNDI context in Spring Boot with Embedded Tomcat Container

I recently had the requirement to use JNDI with an embedded Tomcat in Spring Boot.
Actual answers give some interesting hints to solve my task but it was not enough as probably not updated for Spring Boot 2.

Here is my contribution tested with Spring Boot 2.0.3.RELEASE.

Specifying a datasource available in the classpath at runtime

You have multiple choices :

  • using the DBCP 2 datasource (you don't want to use DBCP 1 that is outdated and less efficient).
  • using the Tomcat JDBC datasource.
  • using any other datasource : for example HikariCP.

If you don't specify anyone of them, with the default configuration the instantiation of the datasource will throw an exception :

  • To use Apache JDBC datasource, you don't need to add any dependency but you have to change the default factory class to org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.DataSourceFactory.
    You can do it in the resource declaration : resource.setProperty("factory", "org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.DataSourceFactory"); I will explain below where add this line.

  • To use DBCP 2 datasource a dependency is required:

    <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.tomcat</groupId> <artifactId>tomcat-dbcp</artifactId> <version>8.5.4</version> </dependency>

Of course, adapt the artifact version according to your Spring Boot Tomcat embedded version.

  • To use HikariCP, add the required dependency if not already present in your configuration (it may be if you rely on persistence starters of Spring Boot) such as :

    <dependency> <groupId>com.zaxxer</groupId> <artifactId>HikariCP</artifactId> <version>3.1.0</version> </dependency>

and specify the factory that goes with in the resource declaration:

resource.setProperty("factory", "com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariJNDIFactory");

Datasource configuration/declaration

You have to customize the bean that creates the TomcatServletWebServerFactory instance.
Two things to do :

  • enabling the JNDI naming which is disabled by default

  • creating and add the JNDI resource(s) in the server context

For example with PostgreSQL and a DBCP 2 datasource, do that :

@Bean
public TomcatServletWebServerFactory tomcatFactory() {
    return new TomcatServletWebServerFactory() {
        @Override
        protected TomcatWebServer getTomcatWebServer(org.apache.catalina.startup.Tomcat tomcat) {
            tomcat.enableNaming(); 
            return super.getTomcatWebServer(tomcat);
        }

        @Override 
        protected void postProcessContext(Context context) {

            // context
            ContextResource resource = new ContextResource();
            resource.setName("jdbc/myJndiResource");
            resource.setType(DataSource.class.getName());
            resource.setProperty("driverClassName", "org.postgresql.Driver");

            resource.setProperty("url", "jdbc:postgresql://hostname:port/dbname");
            resource.setProperty("username", "username");
            resource.setProperty("password", "password");
            context.getNamingResources()
                   .addResource(resource);          
        }
    };
}

Here the variants for Tomcat JDBC and HikariCP datasource.

In postProcessContext() set the factory property as explained early for Tomcat JDBC ds :

    @Override 
    protected void postProcessContext(Context context) {
        ContextResource resource = new ContextResource();       
        //...
        resource.setProperty("factory", "org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.DataSourceFactory");
        //...
        context.getNamingResources()
               .addResource(resource);          
    }
};

and for HikariCP :

    @Override 
    protected void postProcessContext(Context context) {
        ContextResource resource = new ContextResource();       
        //...
        resource.setProperty("factory", "com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariDataSource");
        //...
        context.getNamingResources()
               .addResource(resource);          
    }
};

Using/Injecting the datasource

You should now be able to lookup the JNDI ressource anywhere by using a standard InitialContext instance :

InitialContext initialContext = new InitialContext();
DataSource datasource = (DataSource) initialContext.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/myJndiResource");

You can also use JndiObjectFactoryBean of Spring to lookup up the resource :

JndiObjectFactoryBean bean = new JndiObjectFactoryBean();
bean.setJndiName("java:comp/env/jdbc/myJndiResource");
bean.afterPropertiesSet();
DataSource object = (DataSource) bean.getObject();

To take advantage of the DI container you can also make the DataSource a Spring bean :

@Bean(destroyMethod = "")
public DataSource jndiDataSource() throws IllegalArgumentException, NamingException {
    JndiObjectFactoryBean bean = new JndiObjectFactoryBean();
    bean.setJndiName("java:comp/env/jdbc/myJndiResource");
    bean.afterPropertiesSet();
    return (DataSource) bean.getObject();
}

And so you can now inject the DataSource in any Spring beans such as :

@Autowired
private DataSource jndiDataSource;

Note that many examples on the internet seem to disable the lookup of the JNDI resource on startup :

bean.setJndiName("java:comp/env/jdbc/myJndiResource");
bean.setProxyInterface(DataSource.class);
bean.setLookupOnStartup(false);
bean.afterPropertiesSet(); 

But I think that it is helpless as it invokes just after afterPropertiesSet() that does the lookup !

How to list only top level directories in Python?

You could also use os.scandir:

with os.scandir(os.getcwd()) as mydir:
    dirs = [i.name for i in mydir if i.is_dir()]

In case you want the full path you can use i.path.

Using scandir() instead of listdir() can significantly increase the performance of code that also needs file type or file attribute information, because os.DirEntry objects expose this information if the operating system provides it when scanning a directory.

How to center the text in a JLabel?

The following constructor, JLabel(String, int), allow you to specify the horizontal alignment of the label.

JLabel label = new JLabel("The Label", SwingConstants.CENTER);

Python display text with font & color?

You can use your own custom fonts by setting the font path using pygame.font.Font

pygame.font.Font(filename, size): return Font

example:

pygame.font.init()
font_path = "./fonts/newfont.ttf"
font_size = 32
fontObj = pygame.font.Font(font_path, font_size)

Then render the font using fontObj.render and blit to a surface as in veiset's answer above. :)

push() a two-dimensional array

Iterating over two dimensions means you'll need to check over two dimensions.

assuming you're starting with:

var myArray = [
    [1,1,1,1,1],
    [1,1,1,1,1],
    [1,1,1,1,1]
]; //don't forget your semi-colons

You want to expand this two-dimensional array to become:

var myArray = [
    [1,1,1,1,1,0,0],
    [1,1,1,1,1,0,0],
    [1,1,1,1,1,0,0],
    [0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
    [0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
    [0,0,0,0,0,0,0],
];

Which means you need to understand what the difference is.

Start with the outer array:

var myArray = [
    [...],
    [...],
    [...]
];

If you want to make this array longer, you need to check that it's the correct length, and add more inner arrays to make up the difference:

var i,
    rows,
    myArray;
rows = 8;
myArray = [...]; //see first example above
for (i = 0; i < rows; i += 1) {
    //check if the index exists in the outer array
    if (!(i in myArray)) {
        //if it doesn't exist, we need another array to fill
        myArray.push([]);
    }
}

The next step requires iterating over every column in every array, we'll build on the original code:

var i,
    j,
    row,
    rows,
    cols,
    myArray;
rows = 8;
cols = 7; //adding columns in this time
myArray = [...]; //see first example above
for (i = 0; i < rows; i += 1) {
    //check if the index exists in the outer array (row)
    if (!(i in myArray)) {
        //if it doesn't exist, we need another array to fill
        myArray[i] = [];
    }
    row = myArray[i];
    for (j = 0; j < cols; j += 1) {
        //check if the index exists in the inner array (column)
        if (!(i in row)) {
            //if it doesn't exist, we need to fill it with `0`
            row[j] = 0;
        }
    }
}

Why does CSV file contain a blank line in between each data line when outputting with Dictwriter in Python

By default, the classes in the csv module use Windows-style line terminators (\r\n) rather than Unix-style (\n). Could this be what’s causing the apparent double line breaks?

If so, you can override it in the DictWriter constructor:

output = csv.DictWriter(open('file3.csv','w'), delimiter=',', lineterminator='\n', fieldnames=headers)

Execute PHP script in cron job

You may need to run the cron job as a user with permissions to execute the PHP script. Try executing the cron job as root, using the command runuser (man runuser). Or create a system crontable and run the PHP script as an authorized user, as @Philip described.

I provide a detailed answer how to use cron in this stackoverflow post.

How to read until EOF from cin in C++

You can do it without explicit loops by using stream iterators. I'm sure that it uses some kind of loop internally.

#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <istream>
#include <ostream>
#include <iterator>

int main()
{
// don't skip the whitespace while reading
  std::cin >> std::noskipws;

// use stream iterators to copy the stream to a string
  std::istream_iterator<char> it(std::cin);
  std::istream_iterator<char> end;
  std::string results(it, end);

  std::cout << results;
}

How can I import data into mysql database via mysql workbench?

For MySQL Workbench 6.1: in the home window click on the server instance(connection)/ or create a new one. In the thus opened 'connection' tab click on 'server' -> 'data import'. The rest of the steps remain as in Vishy's answer.

"An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format" even when the platforms are the same

If you try to run 32-bit applications on IIS 7 (and/or 64-bit OS machine), you will get the same error. So, from the IIS 7, right click on the applications' application pool and go to "advanced settings" and change "Enable 32-Bit Applications" to "TRUE".

Restart your website and it should work.

Rails Model find where not equal

The only way you can get it fancier is with MetaWhere.

MetaWhere has a newer cousin which is called Squeel which allows code like this:

GroupUser.where{user_id != me}

It goes without saying, that if this is the only refactor you are going to make, it is not worth using a gem and I would just stick with what you got. Squeel is useful in situations where you have many complex queries interacting with Ruby code.

How to Save Console.WriteLine Output to Text File

Using only configuration in your app.config:

    <system.diagnostics> 
        <trace autoflush="true" indentsize="4"> 
              <listeners> 

              <add name="consoleListener" type="System.Diagnostics.ConsoleTraceListener"/>

            <!--
            <add name="logListener" type="System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener" initializeData="TextWriterOutput.log" /> 
            <add name="EventLogListener" type="System.Diagnostics.EventLogTraceListener" initializeData="MyEventLog"/>
             -->

             <!--
              Remove the Default listener to avoid duplicate messages
              being sent to the debugger for display
             -->
             <remove name="Default" />

             </listeners> 
        </trace> 
  </system.diagnostics>

For testing, you can use DebugView before running the program, then we can easily view all of the log messages.

yii2 hidden input value

You can use this code line in view(form)

 <?= $form->field($model, 'hidden1')->hiddenInput(['value'=>'your_value'])->label(false) ?>

Please refere this as example

If your need to pass currant date and time as hidden input : Model attribute is 'created_on' and its value is retrieve from date('Y-m-d H:i:s') , just like:"2020-03-10 09:00:00"

  <?= $form->field($model, 'created_on')->hiddenInput(['value'=>date('Y-m-d H:i:s')])->label(false) ?>

How to shutdown a Spring Boot Application in a correct way?

All of the answers seem to be missing the fact that you may need to complete some portion of work in coordinated fashion during graceful shutdown (for example, in an enterprise application).

@PreDestroy allows you to execute shutdown code in the individual beans. Something more sophisticated would look like this:

@Component
public class ApplicationShutdown implements ApplicationListener<ContextClosedEvent> {
     @Autowired ... //various components and services

     @Override
     public void onApplicationEvent(ContextClosedEvent event) {
         service1.changeHeartBeatMessage(); // allows loadbalancers & clusters to prepare for the impending shutdown
         service2.deregisterQueueListeners();
         service3.finishProcessingTasksAtHand();
         service2.reportFailedTasks();
         service4.gracefullyShutdownNativeSystemProcessesThatMayHaveBeenLaunched(); 
         service1.eventLogGracefulShutdownComplete();
     }
}

Array.push() and unique items

You can use the Set structure from ES6 to make your code faster and more readable:

// Create Set
this.items = new Set();

add(item) {
    this.items.add(item);

    // Set to array
    console.log([...this.items]);
}

TypeScript add Object to array with push

    testMethod(): Array<number> { 
        //declaration and initialisation of array onject
        var objs: number[] = [1,2,3,4,5,7];
        //push the elements into the array object
        objs.push(100);
        //pop the elements from the array
        objs.pop();
        return objs;
    }   
}

let pushObj = new PushObjects();
//create the button element from the dom object 
let btn = document.createElement('button');
//set the text value of the button
btn.textContent = "Click here";
//button click event
btn.onclick = function () { 

    alert(pushObj.testMethod());

} 

document.body.appendChild(btn);

Script Tag - async & defer

HTML5: async, defer

In HTML5, you can tell browser when to run your JavaScript code. There are 3 possibilities:

<script       src="myscript.js"></script>

<script async src="myscript.js"></script>

<script defer src="myscript.js"></script>
  1. Without async or defer, browser will run your script immediately, before rendering the elements that's below your script tag.

  2. With async (asynchronous), browser will continue to load the HTML page and render it while the browser load and execute the script at the same time.

  3. With defer, browser will run your script when the page finished parsing. (not necessary finishing downloading all image files. This is good.)
