Programs & Examples On #Fragment shader

A GPU program used in rendering. It is executed for each sample taken from a rasterized primitive. The output of this process is a number of values and a floating-point depth.

Declaring a xsl variable and assigning value to it

No, unlike in a lot of other languages, XSLT variables cannot change their values after they are created. You can however, avoid extraneous code with a technique like this:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>

  <xsl:variable name="mapping">
    <item key="1" v1="A" v2="B" />
    <item key="2" v1="X" v2="Y" />
  </xsl:variable>
  <xsl:variable name="mappingNode"
                select="document('')//xsl:variable[@name = 'mapping']" />

  <xsl:template match="....">
    <xsl:variable name="testVariable" select="'1'" />

    <xsl:variable name="values" select="$mappingNode/item[@key = $testVariable]" />

    <xsl:variable name="variable1" select="$values/@v1" />
    <xsl:variable name="variable2" select="$values/@v2" />
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

In fact, once you've got the values variable, you may not even need separate variable1 and variable2 variables. You could just use $values/@v1 and $values/@v2 instead.

How do you transfer or export SQL Server 2005 data to Excel

See this


This is by far the best post for exporting to excel from SQL:

http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=49926

To quote from user madhivanan,

Apart from using DTS and Export wizard, we can also use this query to export data from SQL Server2000 to Excel

Create an Excel file named testing having the headers same as that of table columns and use these queries

1 Export data to existing EXCEL file from SQL Server table

insert into OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 
    'Excel 8.0;Database=D:\testing.xls;', 
    'SELECT * FROM [SheetName$]') select * from SQLServerTable

2 Export data from Excel to new SQL Server table

select * 
into SQLServerTable FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 
    'Excel 8.0;Database=D:\testing.xls;HDR=YES', 
    'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]')

3 Export data from Excel to existing SQL Server table

Insert into SQLServerTable Select * FROM OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 
    'Excel 8.0;Database=D:\testing.xls;HDR=YES', 
    'SELECT * FROM [SheetName$]')

4 If you dont want to create an EXCEL file in advance and want to export data to it, use

EXEC sp_makewebtask 
    @outputfile = 'd:\testing.xls', 
    @query = 'Select * from Database_name..SQLServerTable', 
    @colheaders =1, 
    @FixedFont=0,@lastupdated=0,@resultstitle='Testing details'

(Now you can find the file with data in tabular format)

5 To export data to new EXCEL file with heading(column names), create the following procedure

create procedure proc_generate_excel_with_columns
(
    @db_name    varchar(100),
    @table_name varchar(100),   
    @file_name  varchar(100)
)
as

--Generate column names as a recordset
declare @columns varchar(8000), @sql varchar(8000), @data_file varchar(100)
select 
    @columns=coalesce(@columns+',','')+column_name+' as '+column_name 
from 
    information_schema.columns
where 
    table_name=@table_name
select @columns=''''''+replace(replace(@columns,' as ',''''' as '),',',',''''')

--Create a dummy file to have actual data
select @data_file=substring(@file_name,1,len(@file_name)-charindex('\',reverse(@file_name)))+'\data_file.xls'

--Generate column names in the passed EXCEL file
set @sql='exec master..xp_cmdshell ''bcp " select * from (select '+@columns+') as t" queryout "'+@file_name+'" -c'''
exec(@sql)

--Generate data in the dummy file
set @sql='exec master..xp_cmdshell ''bcp "select * from '+@db_name+'..'+@table_name+'" queryout "'+@data_file+'" -c'''
exec(@sql)

--Copy dummy file to passed EXCEL file
set @sql= 'exec master..xp_cmdshell ''type '+@data_file+' >> "'+@file_name+'"'''
exec(@sql)

--Delete dummy file 
set @sql= 'exec master..xp_cmdshell ''del '+@data_file+''''
exec(@sql)

After creating the procedure, execute it by supplying database name, table name and file path:

EXEC proc_generate_excel_with_columns 'your dbname', 'your table name','your file path'

Its a whomping 29 pages but that is because others show various other ways as well as people asking questions just like this one on how to do it.

Follow that thread entirely and look at the various questions people have asked and how they are solved. I picked up quite a bit of knowledge just skimming it and have used portions of it to get expected results.

To update single cells

A member also there Peter Larson posts the following: I think one thing is missing here. It is great to be able to Export and Import to Excel files, but how about updating single cells? Or a range of cells?

This is the principle of how you do manage that

update OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 
'Excel 8.0;Database=c:\test.xls;hdr=no', 
'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$b7:b7]') set f1 = -99

You can also add formulas to Excel using this:

update OPENROWSET('Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0', 
'Excel 8.0;Database=c:\test.xls;hdr=no', 
'SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$b7:b7]') set f1 = '=a7+c7'

Exporting with column names using T-SQL

Member Mladen Prajdic also has a blog entry on how to do this here

References: www.sqlteam.com (btw this is an excellent blog / forum for anyone looking to get more out of SQL Server).

Using sendmail from bash script for multiple recipients

to use sendmail from the shell script

subject="mail subject"
body="Hello World"
from="[email protected]"
to="[email protected],[email protected]"
echo -e "Subject:${subject}\n${body}" | sendmail -f "${from}" -t "${to}"

How can I add a box-shadow on one side of an element?

Yes, you can use the shadow spread property of the box-shadow rule:

_x000D_
_x000D_
.myDiv_x000D_
{_x000D_
  border: 1px solid #333;_x000D_
  width: 100px;_x000D_
  height: 100px;_x000D_
  box-shadow: 10px 0 5px -2px #888;_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<div class="myDiv"></div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

The fourth property there -2px is the shadow spread, you can use it to change the spread of the shadow, making it appear that the shadow is on one side only.

This also uses the shadow positioning rules 10px sends it to the right (horizontal offset) and 0px keeps it under the element (vertical offset.)

5px is the blur radius :)

Example for you here.

How to create a file in a directory in java?

For using the FileOutputStream try this :

public class Main01{
    public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException{
        FileOutputStream f = new FileOutputStream("file.txt");
        PrintStream p = new PrintStream(f);
        p.println("George.........");
        p.println("Alain..........");
        p.println("Gerard.........");
        p.close();
        f.close();
    }
}

Set min-width either by content or 200px (whichever is greater) together with max-width

The problem is that flex: 1 sets flex-basis: 0. Instead, you need

.container .box {
  min-width: 200px;
  max-width: 400px;
  flex-basis: auto; /* default value */
  flex-grow: 1;
}

_x000D_
_x000D_
.container {_x000D_
  display: -webkit-flex;_x000D_
  display: flex;_x000D_
  -webkit-flex-wrap: wrap;_x000D_
  flex-wrap: wrap;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
.container .box {_x000D_
  -webkit-flex-grow: 1;_x000D_
  flex-grow: 1;_x000D_
  min-width: 100px;_x000D_
  max-width: 400px;_x000D_
  height: 200px;_x000D_

Developing for Android in Eclipse: R.java not regenerating

I changed my layout XML file name and found out later that of the XML file (widget provider in this case) still refers to the old layout XML which doesn't exist, and that prevented the auto generation/correction of R class.

Which "href" value should I use for JavaScript links, "#" or "javascript:void(0)"?

I recommend using a <button> element instead, especially if the control is supposed to produce a change in the data. (Something like a POST.)

It's even better if you inject the elements unobtrusively, a type of progressive enhancement. (See this comment.)

'ng' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

I just installed angular cli and it solved my issue, simply run:

npm install -g @angular/cli

Connection failed: SQLState: '01000' SQL Server Error: 10061

Received SQLSTATE 01000 in the following error message below:

SQL Agent - Jobs Failed: The SQL Agent Job "LiteSpeed Backup Full" has failed with the message "The job failed. The Job was invoked by User X. The last step to run was step 1 (Step1). NOTE: Failed to notify via email. - Executed as user: X. LiteSpeed(R) for SQL Server Version 6.5.0.1460 Copyright 2011 Quest Software, Inc. [SQLSTATE 01000] (Message 1) LiteSpeed for SQL Server could not open backup file: (N:\BACKUP2\filename.BAK). The previous system message is the reason for the failure. [SQLSTATE 42000] (Error 60405). The step failed."

In my case this was related to permission on drive N following an SQL Server failover on an Active/Passive SQL cluster.

All SQL resources where failed over to the seconary resouce and back to the preferred node following maintenance. When the Quest LiteSpeed job then executed on the preferred node it was clear the previous permissions for SQL server user X had been lost on drive N and SQLSTATE 10100 was reported.

Simply added the permissions again to the backup destination drive and the issue was resolved.

Hope that helps someone.

How to Alter Constraint

You can not alter constraints ever but you can drop them and then recreate.

Have look on this

ALTER TABLE your_table DROP CONSTRAINT ACTIVEPROG_FKEY1;

and then recreate it with ON DELETE CASCADE like this

ALTER TABLE your_table
add CONSTRAINT ACTIVEPROG_FKEY1 FOREIGN KEY(ActiveProgCode) REFERENCES PROGRAM(ActiveProgCode)
    ON DELETE CASCADE;

hope this help

Casting int to bool in C/C++

There some kind of old school 'Marxismic' way to the cast int -> bool without C4800 warnings of Microsoft's cl compiler - is to use negation of negation.

int  i  = 0;
bool bi = !!i;

int  j  = 1;
bool bj = !!j;

Apache: Restrict access to specific source IP inside virtual host

In Apache 2.4, the authorization configuration syntax has changed, and the Order, Deny or Allow directives should no longer be used.

The new way to do this would be:

<VirtualHost *:8080>
    <Location />
        Require ip 192.168.1.0
    </Location>
    ...
</VirtualHost>

Further examples using the new syntax can be found in the Apache documentation: Upgrading to 2.4 from 2.2

How to crop a CvMat in OpenCV?

To get better results and robustness against differents types of matrices, you can do this in addition to the first answer, that copy the data :

cv::Mat source = getYourSource();

// Setup a rectangle to define your region of interest
cv::Rect myROI(10, 10, 100, 100);

// Crop the full image to that image contained by the rectangle myROI
// Note that this doesn't copy the data
cv::Mat croppedRef(source, myROI);

cv::Mat cropped;
// Copy the data into new matrix
croppedRef.copyTo(cropped);

Get querystring from URL using jQuery

To retrieve the entire querystring from the current URL, beginning with the ? character, you can use

location.search

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/DOM/window.location

Example:

// URL = https://example.com?a=a%20a&b=b123
console.log(location.search); // Prints "?a=a%20a&b=b123" 

In regards to retrieving specific querystring parameters, while although classes like URLSearchParams and URL exist, they aren't supported by Internet Explorer at this time, and should probably be avoided. Instead, you can try something like this:

/**
 * Accepts either a URL or querystring and returns an object associating 
 * each querystring parameter to its value. 
 *
 * Returns an empty object if no querystring parameters found.
 */
function getUrlParams(urlOrQueryString) {
  if ((i = urlOrQueryString.indexOf('?')) >= 0) {
    const queryString = urlOrQueryString.substring(i+1);
    if (queryString) {
      return _mapUrlParams(queryString);
    } 
  }

  return {};
}

/**
 * Helper function for `getUrlParams()`
 * Builds the querystring parameter to value object map.
 *
 * @param queryString {string} - The full querystring, without the leading '?'.
 */
function _mapUrlParams(queryString) {
  return queryString    
    .split('&') 
    .map(function(keyValueString) { return keyValueString.split('=') })
    .reduce(function(urlParams, [key, value]) {
      if (Number.isInteger(parseInt(value)) && parseInt(value) == value) {
        urlParams[key] = parseInt(value);
      } else {
        urlParams[key] = decodeURI(value);
      }
      return urlParams;
    }, {});
}

You can use the above like so:

// Using location.search
let urlParams = getUrlParams(location.search); // Assume location.search = "?a=1&b=2b2"
console.log(urlParams); // Prints { "a": 1, "b": "2b2" }

// Using a URL string
const url = 'https://example.com?a=A%20A&b=1';
urlParams = getUrlParams(url);
console.log(urlParams); // Prints { "a": "A A", "b": 1 }

// To check if a parameter exists, simply do:
if (urlParams.hasOwnProperty('parameterName') { 
  console.log(urlParams.parameterName);
}

How to get a Static property with Reflection

Or just look at this...

Type type = typeof(MyClass); // MyClass is static class with static properties
foreach (var p in type.GetProperties())
{
   var v = p.GetValue(null, null); // static classes cannot be instanced, so use null...
}

Redis connection to 127.0.0.1:6379 failed - connect ECONNREFUSED

For me I had this issue on Ubuntu 18.x, but my problem was that my redis-server was running on 127.0.0.1 but I found out I needed to run it on my IP address xxx.xx.xx.xx

I went into my Ubuntu machine and did the following.

cd /etc/redis/

sudo vim redis.conf

Then I edited this part.

################################## NETWORK #####################################

# By default, if no "bind" configuration directive is specified, Redis listens
# for connections from all the network interfaces available on the server.
# It is possible to listen to just one or multiple selected interfaces using
# the "bind" configuration directive, followed by one or more IP addresses.
#
# Examples:
#
# bind 192.168.1.100 10.0.0.1
# bind 127.0.0.1 ::1
#
# ~~~ WARNING ~~~ If the computer running Redis is directly exposed to the
# internet, binding to all the interfaces is dangerous and will expose the
# instance to everybody on the internet. So by default we uncomment the
# following bind directive, that will force Redis to listen only into
# the IPv4 loopback interface address (this means Redis will be able to
# accept connections only from clients running into the same computer it
# is running).le to listen to just one or multiple selected interfaces using
#
# IF YOU ARE SURE YOU WANT YOUR INSTANCE TO LISTEN TO ALL THE INTERFACES
# JUST COMMENT THE FOLLOWING LINE.
# ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# bind 127.0.0.1 ::1 10.0.0.1
bind 127.0.0.1 ::1 # <<-------- change this to what your iP address is something like (bind 192.168.2.2)

Save that, and then restart redis-server.

sudo service redis-server restart or simply run redis-server

How to create text file and insert data to that file on Android

Check the android documentation. It's in fact not much different than standard java io file handling so you could also check that documentation.

An example from the android documentation:

String FILENAME = "hello_file";
String string = "hello world!";

FileOutputStream fos = openFileOutput(FILENAME, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
fos.write(string.getBytes());
fos.close();

C# generic list <T> how to get the type of T?

Marc's answer is the approach I use for this, but for simplicity (and a friendlier API?) you can define a property in the collection base class if you have one such as:

public abstract class CollectionBase<T> : IList<T>
{
   ...

   public Type ElementType
   {
      get
      {
         return typeof(T);
      }
   }
}

I have found this approach useful, and is easy to understand for any newcomers to generics.

R: "Unary operator error" from multiline ggplot2 command

This is a well-known nuisance when posting multiline commands in R. (You can get different behavior when you source() a script to when you copy-and-paste the lines, both with multiline and comments)

Rule: always put the dangling '+' at the end of a line so R knows the command is unfinished:

ggplot(...) + geom_whatever1(...) +
  geom_whatever2(...) +
  stat_whatever3(...) +
  geom_title(...) + scale_y_log10(...)

Don't put the dangling '+' at the start of the line, since that tickles the error:

Error in "+ geom_whatever2(...) invalid argument to unary operator"

And obviously don't put dangling '+' at both end and start since that's a syntax error.

So, learn a habit of being consistent: always put '+' at end-of-line.

Clearing Magento Log Data

Cleaning Logs via Magento Admin Panel

This method is easier for non technical store owners who don’t want’ to mess directly with the Magento store’s database. To activate log cleaning option in Magento just do the following:

Log on to your Magento Admin Panel. Go to System => Configuration. On the left under Advanced click on System (Advanced = > System). Under system you will see “Log Cleaning” option. Fill the desired “Log Cleaning” option values and click Save.

Cleaning Logs via phpMyAdmin

If you are comfortable with mysql and queries then this method is more efficient and quicker than default Magento Log Cleaning tool. This method also allows your to clean whatever you like, you can even clean tables which aren’t included in default Magento’s Log Cleaning tool.

Open the database in phpMyAdmin In the right frame, click on the boxes for the following tables: dataflow_batch_export

dataflow_batch_import

log_customer

log_quote

log_summary

log_summary_type

log_url

log_url_info

log_visitor

log_visitor_info

log_visitor_online

report_viewed_product_index

report_compared_product_index

report_event

Look to the bottom of the page, then click the drop down box that says “with selected” and click empty. Click Yes on confirmation screen, and this will truncate all the selected tables.

or you can use script to run

TRUNCATE dataflow_batch_export;
TRUNCATE dataflow_batch_import;
TRUNCATE log_customer;
TRUNCATE log_quote;
TRUNCATE log_summary;
TRUNCATE log_summary_type;
TRUNCATE log_url;
TRUNCATE log_url_info;
TRUNCATE log_visitor;
TRUNCATE log_visitor_info;
TRUNCATE log_visitor_online;
TRUNCATE report_viewed_product_index;
TRUNCATE report_compared_product_index;
TRUNCATE report_event;
TRUNCATE index_event;

Keep in mind that we are here to empty (Truncate) selected tables are not drop them. Be very careful when you do this.

Performing this regularly will definitely improve your Magento store’s performance and efficiency. You can setup up scripts to do this automatically at regular intervals too using “CRON”.

Is there anything like .NET's NotImplementedException in Java?

As mentioned, the JDK does not have a close match. However, my team occasionally has a use for such an exception as well. We could have gone with UnsupportedOperationException as suggested by other answers, but we prefer a custom exception class in our base library that has deprecated constructors:

public class NotYetImplementedException extends RuntimeException
{
    /**
     * @deprecated Deprecated to remind you to implement the corresponding code
     *             before releasing the software.
     */
    @Deprecated
    public NotYetImplementedException()
    {
    }

    /**
     * @deprecated Deprecated to remind you to implement the corresponding code
     *             before releasing the software.
     */
    @Deprecated
    public NotYetImplementedException(String message)
    {
        super(message);
    }
}

This approach has the following benefits:

  1. When readers see NotYetImplementedException, they know that an implementation was planned and was either forgotten or is still in progress, whereas UnsupportedOperationException says (in line with collection contracts) that something will never be implemented. That's why we have the word "yet" in the class name. Also, an IDE can easily list the call sites.
  2. With the deprecation warning at each call site, your IDE and static code analysis tool can remind you where you still have to implement something. (This use of deprecation may feel wrong to some, but in fact deprecation is not limited to announcing removal.)
  3. The constructors are deprecated, not the class. This way, you only get a deprecation warning inside the method that needs implementing, not at the import line (JDK 9 fixed this, though).

What is LD_LIBRARY_PATH and how to use it?

LD_LIBRARY_PATH is the predefined environmental variable in Linux/Unix which sets the path which the linker should look in to while linking dynamic libraries/shared libraries.

LD_LIBRARY_PATH contains a colon separated list of paths and the linker gives priority to these paths over the standard library paths /lib and /usr/lib. The standard paths will still be searched, but only after the list of paths in LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been exhausted.

The best way to use LD_LIBRARY_PATH is to set it on the command line or script immediately before executing the program. This way the new LD_LIBRARY_PATH isolated from the rest of your system.

Example Usage:

$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/list/of/library/paths:/another/path"
$ ./program

Since you talk about .dll you are on a windows system and a .dll must be placed at a path which the linker searches at link time, in windows this path is set by the environmental variable PATH, So add that .dll to PATH and it should work fine.

CentOS 64 bit bad ELF interpreter

You can also install OpenJDK 32-bit (.i686) instead. According to my test, it will be installed and works without problems.

sudo yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk.i686

Note:

The java-1.8.0-openjdk package contains just the Java Runtime Environment. If you want to develop Java programs then install the java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel package.

Swift: Display HTML data in a label or textView

Here is a Swift 3 version:

private func getHtmlLabel(text: String) -> UILabel {
    let label = UILabel()
    label.numberOfLines = 0
    label.lineBreakMode = .byWordWrapping
    label.attributedString = stringFromHtml(string: text)
    return label
}

    return nil
}

I found issues with some of the other answers here and it took me a bit to get this right. I set the line break mode and number of lines so that the label sized appropriately when the HTML spanned multiple lines.

Eclipse - Failed to create the java virtual machine

I had exactly the same problem, one day eclipse wouldn't open. Tried editing eclipse.ini to the correct java version 1.7, but still the same error. Eventually changed :

-Xms384m 
-Xmx384m

...and all working.

How can I check if a directory exists?

Use the following code to check if a folder exists. It works on both Windows & Linux platforms.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    const char* folder;
    //folder = "C:\\Users\\SaMaN\\Desktop\\Ppln";
    folder = "/tmp";
    struct stat sb;

    if (stat(folder, &sb) == 0 && S_ISDIR(sb.st_mode)) {
        printf("YES\n");
    } else {
        printf("NO\n");
    }
}

"Line contains NULL byte" in CSV reader (Python)

I've solved a similar problem with an easier solution:

import codecs
csvReader = csv.reader(codecs.open('file.csv', 'rU', 'utf-16'))

The key was using the codecs module to open the file with the UTF-16 encoding, there are a lot more of encodings, check the documentation.

When to use LinkedList over ArrayList in Java?

As someone who has been doing operational performance engineering on very large scale SOA web services for about a decade, I would prefer the behavior of LinkedList over ArrayList. While the steady-state throughput of LinkedList is worse and therefore might lead to buying more hardware -- the behavior of ArrayList under pressure could lead to apps in a cluster expanding their arrays in near synchronicity and for large array sizes could lead to lack of responsiveness in the app and an outage, while under pressure, which is catastrophic behavior.

Similarly, you can get better throughput in an app from the default throughput tenured garbage collector, but once you get java apps with 10GB heaps you can wind up locking up the app for 25 seconds during a Full GCs which causes timeouts and failures in SOA apps and blows your SLAs if it occurs too often. Even though the CMS collector takes more resources and does not achieve the same raw throughput, it is a much better choice because it has more predictable and smaller latency.

ArrayList is only a better choice for performance if all you mean by performance is throughput and you can ignore latency. In my experience at my job I cannot ignore worst-case latency.

Getting Keyboard Input

If you have Java 6 (You should have, btw) or higher, then simply do this :

 Console console = System.console();
 String str = console.readLine("Please enter the xxxx : ");

Please remember to do :

 import java.io.Console;

Thats it!

How do you format code on save in VS Code

Dependency Walker reports IESHIMS.DLL and WER.DLL missing?

ieshims.dll is an artefact of Vista/7 where a shim DLL is used to proxy certain calls (such as CreateProcess) to handle protected mode IE, which doesn't exist on XP, so it is unnecessary. wer.dll is related to Windows Error Reporting and again is probably unused on Windows XP which has a slightly different error reporting system than Vista and above.

I would say you shouldn't need either of them to be present on XP and would normally be delay loaded anyway.

How do I pass the this context to a function?

Use function.call:

var f = function () { console.log(this); }
f.call(that, arg1, arg2, etc);

Where that is the object which you want this in the function to be.

ModalPopupExtender OK Button click event not firing?

I often use a blank label as the TargetControlID. ex. <asp:Label ID="lblghost" runat="server" Text="" />

I've seen two things that cause the click event not fire:
1. you have to remove the OKControlID (as others have mentioned)
2. If you are using field validators you should add CausesValidation="false" on the button.

Both scenarios behaved the same way for me.

Need to ZIP an entire directory using Node.js

I ended up wrapping archiver to emulate JSZip, as refactoring through my project woult take too much effort. I understand Archiver might not be the best choice, but here you go.

// USAGE:
const zip=JSZipStream.to(myFileLocation)
    .onDone(()=>{})
    .onError(()=>{});

zip.file('something.txt','My content');
zip.folder('myfolder').file('something-inFolder.txt','My content');
zip.finalize();

// NodeJS file content:
    var fs = require('fs');
    var path = require('path');
    var archiver = require('archiver');

  function zipper(archive, settings) {
    return {
        output: null,
        streamToFile(dir) {
            const output = fs.createWriteStream(dir);
            this.output = output;
            archive.pipe(output);

            return this;
        },
        file(location, content) {
            if (settings.location) {
                location = path.join(settings.location, location);
            }
            archive.append(content, { name: location });
            return this;
        },
        folder(location) {
            if (settings.location) {
                location = path.join(settings.location, location);
            }
            return zipper(archive, { location: location });
        },
        finalize() {
            archive.finalize();
            return this;
        },
        onDone(method) {
            this.output.on('close', method);
            return this;
        },
        onError(method) {
            this.output.on('error', method);
            return this;
        }
    };
}

exports.JSzipStream = {
    to(destination) {
        console.log('stream to',destination)
        const archive = archiver('zip', {
            zlib: { level: 9 } // Sets the compression level.
        });
        return zipper(archive, {}).streamToFile(destination);
    }
};

How can I dynamically add items to a Java array?

I have seen this question very often in the web and in my opinion, many people with high reputation did not answer these questions properly. So I would like to express my own answer here.

First we should consider there is a difference between array and arraylist.

The question asks for adding an element to an array, and not ArrayList


The answer is quite simple. It can be done in 3 steps.

  1. Convert array to an arraylist
  2. Add element to the arrayList
  3. Convert back the new arrayList to the array

Here is the simple picture of it enter image description here

And finally here is the code:

Step 1:

public List<String> convertArrayToList(String[] array){
        List<String> stringList = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(array));
        return stringList;
    }

Step 2:

public  List<String> addToList(String element,List<String> list){

            list.add(element);
            return list;
    }

Step 3:

public String[] convertListToArray(List<String> list){
           String[] ins = (String[])list.toArray(new String[list.size()]);
           return ins;
    } 

Step 4

public String[] addNewItemToArray(String element,String [] array){
        List<String> list = convertArrayToList(array);
        list= addToList(element,list);
        return  convertListToArray(list);
}

Python 3.2 Unable to import urllib2 (ImportError: No module named urllib2)

    import urllib2

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "", line 1, in

    import urllib2

ImportError: No module named 'urllib2' So urllib2 has been been replaced by the package : urllib.request.

Here is the PEP link (Python Enhancement Proposals )

http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3108/#urllib-package

so instead of urllib2 you can now import urllib.request and then use it like this:

    >>>import urllib.request

    >>>urllib.request.urlopen('http://www.placementyogi.com')

How do you run a crontab in Cygwin on Windows?

I figured out how to get the Cygwin cron service running automatically when I logged on to Windows 7. Here's what worked for me:

Using Notepad, create file C:\cygwin\bin\Cygwin_launch_crontab_service_input.txt with content no on the first line and yes on the second line (without the quotes). These are your two responses to prompts for cron-config.

Create file C:\cygwin\Cygwin_launch_crontab_service.bat with content:

@echo off
C:
chdir C:\cygwin\bin
bash  cron-config < Cygwin_launch_crontab_service_input.txt

Add a Shortcut to the following in the Windows Startup folder: Cygwin_launch_crontab_service.bat

See http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1401-startup-programs-change.html if you need help on how to add to Startup. BTW, you can optionally add these in Startup if you would like:

Cygwin

XWin Server

The first one executes

C:\cygwin\Cygwin.bat

and the second one executes

C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c /usr/bin/startxwin.exe

Struct memory layout in C

You can start by reading the data structure alignment wikipedia article to get a better understanding of data alignment.

From the wikipedia article:

Data alignment means putting the data at a memory offset equal to some multiple of the word size, which increases the system's performance due to the way the CPU handles memory. To align the data, it may be necessary to insert some meaningless bytes between the end of the last data structure and the start of the next, which is data structure padding.

From 6.54.8 Structure-Packing Pragmas of the GCC documentation:

For compatibility with Microsoft Windows compilers, GCC supports a set of #pragma directives which change the maximum alignment of members of structures (other than zero-width bitfields), unions, and classes subsequently defined. The n value below always is required to be a small power of two and specifies the new alignment in bytes.

  1. #pragma pack(n) simply sets the new alignment.
  2. #pragma pack() sets the alignment to the one that was in effect when compilation started (see also command line option -fpack-struct[=] see Code Gen Options).
  3. #pragma pack(push[,n]) pushes the current alignment setting on an internal stack and then optionally sets the new alignment.
  4. #pragma pack(pop) restores the alignment setting to the one saved at the top of the internal stack (and removes that stack entry). Note that #pragma pack([n]) does not influence this internal stack; thus it is possible to have #pragma pack(push) followed by multiple #pragma pack(n) instances and finalized by a single #pragma pack(pop).

Some targets, e.g. i386 and powerpc, support the ms_struct #pragma which lays out a structure as the documented __attribute__ ((ms_struct)).

  1. #pragma ms_struct on turns on the layout for structures declared.
  2. #pragma ms_struct off turns off the layout for structures declared.
  3. #pragma ms_struct reset goes back to the default layout.

Firebase Permission Denied

I was facing similar issue and found out that this error was due to incorrect rules set for read/write operations for real time database. By default google firebase nowadays loads cloud store not real time database. We need to switch to real time and apply the correct rules.

enter image description here

As we can see it says cloud Firestore not real time database, once switched to correct database apply below rules:

{
   "rules": {
       ".read": true,
       ".write": true
     }

Give all permissions to a user on a PostgreSQL database

In PostgreSQL 9.0+ you would do the following:

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA MY_SCHEMA TO MY_GROUP;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ALL SEQUENCES IN SCHEMA MY_SCHEMA TO MY_GROUP;

If you want to enable this for newly created relations too, then set the default permissions:

ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES IN SCHEMA MY_SCHEMA
  GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON TABLES TO MY_GROUP;
ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES IN SCHEMA MY_SCHEMA
  GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON SEQUENCES TO MY_GROUP;

However, seeing that you use 8.1 you have to code it yourself:

CREATE FUNCTION grant_all_in_schema (schname name, grant_to name) RETURNS integer AS $$
DECLARE
  rel RECORD;
BEGIN
  FOR rel IN
    SELECT c.relname
    FROM pg_class c
    JOIN pg_namespace s ON c.namespace = s.oid
    WHERE s.nspname = schname
  LOOP
    EXECUTE 'GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ' || quote_ident(schname) || '.' || rel.relname || ' TO ' || quote_ident(grant_to);
  END LOOP;
  RETURN 1;
END; $$ LANGUAGE plpgsql STRICT;
REVOKE ALL ON FUNCTION grant_all_in_schema(name, name) FROM PUBLIC;

This will set the privileges on all relations: tables, views, indexes, sequences, etc. If you want to restrict that, filter on pg_class.relkind. See the pg_class docs for details.

You should run this function as superuser and as regular as your application requires. An option would be to package this in a cron job that executes every day or every hour.

How do I subtract minutes from a date in javascript?

This is what I did: see on Codepen

var somedate = 1473888180593;
var myStartDate;
//var myStartDate = somedate - durationInMuntes;

myStartDate = new Date(dateAfterSubtracted('minutes', 100));

alert("The event will start on " + myStartDate.toDateString() + " at " + myStartDate.toTimeString());

function dateAfterSubtracted(range, amount){
    var now = new Date();
    if(range === 'years'){
        return now.setDate(now.getYear() - amount);
    }
    if(range === 'months'){
        return now.setDate(now.getMonth() - amount);
    }
    if(range === 'days'){
        return now.setDate(now.getDate() - amount);
    }
    if(range === 'hours'){
        return now.setDate(now.getHours() - amount);
    }
    if(range === 'minutes'){
        return now.setDate(now.getMinutes() - amount);
    }
    else {
        return null;
    }
}

What is the current directory in a batch file?

It is the directory from where you start the batch file. E.g. if your batch is in c:\dir1\dir2 and you do cd c:\dir3, then run the batch, the current directory will be c:\dir3.

Show "loading" animation on button click

                //original event call
                $.when($(elm).delay(1000).one("click")).done(function () {//processing finalized
                    $(this).text($(this).attr("label")).animate({ disabled: false }, 1000, function () {

How could I use requests in asyncio?

aiohttp can be used with HTTP proxy already:

    response = yield from aiohttp.request(
        'GET', 'http://google.com',
        proxy=proxy_url,
    )
    return response

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(do_request())

Understanding typedefs for function pointers in C

A very easy way to understand typedef of function pointer:

int add(int a, int b)
{
    return (a+b);
}

typedef int (*add_integer)(int, int); //declaration of function pointer

int main()
{
    add_integer addition = add; //typedef assigns a new variable i.e. "addition" to original function "add"
    int c = addition(11, 11);   //calling function via new variable
    printf("%d",c);
    return 0;
}

JavaScript editor within Eclipse

Eclipse HTML Editor Plugin

I too have struggled with this totally obvious question. It seemed crazy that this wasn't an extremely easy-to-find feature with all the web development happening in Eclipse these days.

I was very turned off by Aptana because of how bloated it is, and the fact that it starts up a local web server (by default on port 8000) everytime you start Eclipse and you can't disable this functionality. Adobe's port of JSEclipse is now a 400Mb plugin, which is equally insane.

However, I just found a super-lightweight JavaScript editor called Eclipse HTML Editor Plugin, made by Amateras, which was exactly what I was looking for.

Sorting a Python list by two fields

In ascending order you can use:

sorted_data= sorted(non_sorted_data, key=lambda k: (k[1],k[0]))

or in descending order you can use:

sorted_data= sorted(non_sorted_data, key=lambda k: (k[1],k[0]),reverse=True)

Android "gps requires ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" error, even though my manifest file contains this

My simple solution is this

if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) ==
        PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED &&
        ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) ==
        PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
    googleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
    googleMap.getUiSettings().setMyLocationButtonEnabled(true);
} else {
    Toast.makeText(this, R.string.error_permission_map, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}

or you can open permission dialog in else like this

} else {
   ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[] {
      Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, 
      Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION }, 
      TAG_CODE_PERMISSION_LOCATION);
}

Why does ANT tell me that JAVA_HOME is wrong when it is not?

It is common to get this issue. I cannot set any specific Java home in my system as I have 2 different version of Java (Java 6 and Java 7) for different environment. To resolve the issue, I included the JDK path in the run configuration when opening the build.xml file. This way, 2 different build files use 2 different Java version for build. I think there might be a better solution to this problem but at least the above approach avoid setting the JAVA_HOME variable.

Pointer vs. Reference

If you have a parameter where you may need to indicate the absence of a value, it's common practice to make the parameter a pointer value and pass in NULL.

A better solution in most cases (from a safety perspective) is to use boost::optional. This allows you to pass in optional values by reference and also as a return value.

// Sample method using optional as input parameter
void PrintOptional(const boost::optional<std::string>& optional_str)
{
    if (optional_str)
    {
       cout << *optional_str << std::endl;
    }
    else
    {
       cout << "(no string)" << std::endl;
    }
}

// Sample method using optional as return value
boost::optional<int> ReturnOptional(bool return_nothing)
{
    if (return_nothing)
    {
       return boost::optional<int>();
    }

    return boost::optional<int>(42);
}

Generating an array of letters in the alphabet

You could do something like this, based on the ascii values of the characters:

char[26] alphabet;

for(int i = 0; i <26; i++)
{
     alphabet[i] = (char)(i+65); //65 is the offset for capital A in the ascaii table
}

(See the table here.) You are just casting from the int value of the character to the character value - but, that only works for ascii characters not different languages etc.

EDIT: As suggested by Mehrdad in the comment to a similar solution, it's better to do this:

alphabet[i] = (char)(i+(int)('A'));

This casts the A character to it's int value and then increments based on this, so it's not hardcoded.

Get Value of Radio button group

Your quotes only need to surround the value part of the attribute-equals selector, [attr='val'], like this:

$('a#check_var').click(function() {
  alert($("input:radio[name='r']:checked").val()+ ' '+
        $("input:radio[name='s']:checked").val());
});?

You can see the working version here.

is python capable of running on multiple cores?

Python threads cannot take advantage of many cores. This is due to an internal implementation detail called the GIL (global interpreter lock) in the C implementation of python (cPython) which is almost certainly what you use.

The workaround is the multiprocessing module http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0371/ which was developed for this purpose.

Documentation: http://docs.python.org/library/multiprocessing.html

(Or use a parallel language.)

postgres default timezone

The accepted answer by Muhammad Usama is correct.

Configuration Parameter Name

That answer shows how to set a Postgres-specific configuration parameter with the following:

SET timezone TO 'UTC';

…where timezone is not a SQL command, it is the name of the configuration parameter.

See the doc for this.

Standard SQL Command

Alternatively, you can use the SQL command defined by the SQL spec: SET TIME ZONE. In this syntax a pair of words TIME ZONE replace "timezone" (actual SQL command versus parameter name), and there is no "TO".

SET TIME ZONE 'UTC';

Both this command and the one above have the same effect, to set the value for the current session only. To make the change permanent, see this sibling answer.

See the doc for this.

Time Zone Name

You can specify a proper time zone name. Most of these are continent/region.

SET TIME ZONE 'Africa/Casablanca';

…or…

SET TIME ZONE 'America/Montreal';

Avoid the 3 or 4 letter abbreviations such as EST or IST as they are neither standardized nor unique. See Wikipedia for list of time zone names.

Get current zone

To see the current time zone for a session, try either of the following statements. Technically we are calling the SHOW command to display a run-time parameter.

SHOW timezone ;

…or…

SHOW time zone ;

US/Pacific

Is there any sizeof-like method in Java?

Try java.lang.Instrumentation.getObjectSize(Object). But please be aware that

It returns an implementation-specific approximation of the amount of storage consumed by the specified object. The result may include some or all of the object's overhead, and thus is useful for comparison within an implementation but not between implementations. The estimate may change during a single invocation of the JVM.

getting error HTTP Status 405 - HTTP method GET is not supported by this URL but not used `get` ever?

The problem is that you mapped your servlet to /register.html and it expects POST method, because you implemented only doPost() method. So when you open register.html page, it will not open html page with the form but servlet that handles the form data.

Alternatively when you submit POST form to non-existing URL, web container will display 405 error (method not allowed) instead of 404 (not found).

To fix:

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>Register</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/Register</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

How to prove that a problem is NP complete?

You need to reduce an NP-Complete problem to the problem you have. If the reduction can be done in polynomial time then you have proven that your problem is NP-complete, if the problem is already in NP, because:

It is not easier than the NP-complete problem, since it can be reduced to it in polynomial time which makes the problem NP-Hard.

Parsing query strings on Android

I don't think there is one in JRE. You can find similar functions in other packages like Apache HttpClient. If you don't use any other packages, you just have to write your own. It's not that hard. Here is what I use,

public class QueryString {

 private Map<String, List<String>> parameters;

 public QueryString(String qs) {
  parameters = new TreeMap<String, List<String>>();

  // Parse query string
     String pairs[] = qs.split("&");
     for (String pair : pairs) {
            String name;
            String value;
            int pos = pair.indexOf('=');
            // for "n=", the value is "", for "n", the value is null
         if (pos == -1) {
          name = pair;
          value = null;
         } else {
       try {
        name = URLDecoder.decode(pair.substring(0, pos), "UTF-8");
              value = URLDecoder.decode(pair.substring(pos+1, pair.length()), "UTF-8");            
       } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
        // Not really possible, throw unchecked
           throw new IllegalStateException("No UTF-8");
       }
         }
         List<String> list = parameters.get(name);
         if (list == null) {
          list = new ArrayList<String>();
          parameters.put(name, list);
         }
         list.add(value);
     }
 }

 public String getParameter(String name) {        
  List<String> values = parameters.get(name);
  if (values == null)
   return null;

  if (values.size() == 0)
   return "";

  return values.get(0);
 }

 public String[] getParameterValues(String name) {        
  List<String> values = parameters.get(name);
  if (values == null)
   return null;

  return (String[])values.toArray(new String[values.size()]);
 }

 public Enumeration<String> getParameterNames() {  
  return Collections.enumeration(parameters.keySet()); 
 }

 public Map<String, String[]> getParameterMap() {
  Map<String, String[]> map = new TreeMap<String, String[]>();
  for (Map.Entry<String, List<String>> entry : parameters.entrySet()) {
   List<String> list = entry.getValue();
   String[] values;
   if (list == null)
    values = null;
   else
    values = (String[]) list.toArray(new String[list.size()]);
   map.put(entry.getKey(), values);
  }
  return map;
 } 
}

2 "style" inline css img tags?

if use Inline CSS you use

<img src="http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/119/original120x75.png" style="height:100px;width:100px;" alt="705"/>

Otherwise you can use class properties which related with a separate css file (styling your website) as like In CSS File

.imgSize {height:100px;width:100px;}

In HTML File

<img src="http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/119/original120x75.png" style="height:100px;width:100px;" alt="705"/>

How can I override Bootstrap CSS styles?

It should not effect the load time much since you are overriding parts of the base stylesheet.

Here are some best practices I personally follow:

  1. Always load custom CSS after the base CSS file (not responsive).
  2. Avoid using !important if possible. That can override some important styles from the base CSS files.
  3. Always load bootstrap-responsive.css after custom.css if you don't want to lose media queries. - MUST FOLLOW
  4. Prefer modifying required properties (not all).

How to call an action after click() in Jquery?

If I've understood your question correctly, then you are looking for the mouseup event, rather than the click event:

$("#message_link").mouseup(function() {
    //Do stuff here
});

The mouseup event fires when the mouse button is released, and does not take into account whether the mouse button was pressed on that element, whereas click takes into account both mousedown and mouseup.

However, click should work fine, because it won't actually fire until the mouse button is released.

Array of char* should end at '\0' or "\0"?

Well, technically '\0' is a character while "\0" is a string, so if you're checking for the null termination character the former is correct. However, as Chris Lutz points out in his answer, your comparison won't work in it's current form.

How to select distinct query using symfony2 doctrine query builder?

This works:

$category = $catrep->createQueryBuilder('cc')
        ->select('cc.categoryid')
        ->where('cc.contenttype = :type')
        ->setParameter('type', 'blogarticle')
        ->distinct()
        ->getQuery();

$categories = $category->getResult();

Edit for Symfony 3 & 4.

You should use ->groupBy('cc.categoryid') instead of ->distinct()

How do I set up HttpContent for my HttpClient PostAsync second parameter?

To add to Preston's answer, here's the complete list of the HttpContent derived classes available in the standard library:

Credit: https://pfelix.wordpress.com/2012/01/16/the-new-system-net-http-classes-message-content/

There's also a supposed ObjectContent but I was unable to find it in ASP.NET Core.

Of course, you could skip the whole HttpContent thing all together with Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Client extensions (you'll have to do an import to get it to work in ASP.NET Core for now: https://github.com/aspnet/Home/issues/1558) and then you can do things like:

var response = await client.PostAsJsonAsync("AddNewArticle", new Article
{
    Title = "New Article Title",
    Body = "New Article Body"
});

Android : Check whether the phone is dual SIM

I have a Samsung Duos device with Android 4.4.4 and the method suggested by Seetha in the accepted answer (i.e. call getDeviceIdDs) does not work for me, as the method does not exist. I was able to recover all the information I needed by calling method "getDefault(int slotID)", as shown below:

public static void samsungTwoSims(Context context) {
    TelephonyManager telephony = (TelephonyManager) context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);

    try{

        Class<?> telephonyClass = Class.forName(telephony.getClass().getName());

        Class<?>[] parameter = new Class[1];
        parameter[0] = int.class;
        Method getFirstMethod = telephonyClass.getMethod("getDefault", parameter);

        Log.d(TAG, getFirstMethod.toString());

        Object[] obParameter = new Object[1];
        obParameter[0] = 0;
        TelephonyManager first = (TelephonyManager) getFirstMethod.invoke(null, obParameter);

        Log.d(TAG, "Device Id: " + first.getDeviceId() + ", device status: " + first.getSimState() + ", operator: " + first.getNetworkOperator() + "/" + first.getNetworkOperatorName());

        obParameter[0] = 1;
        TelephonyManager second = (TelephonyManager) getFirstMethod.invoke(null, obParameter);

        Log.d(TAG, "Device Id: " + second.getDeviceId() + ", device status: " + second.getSimState()+ ", operator: " + second.getNetworkOperator() + "/" + second.getNetworkOperatorName());
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }   
}

Also, I rewrote the code that iteratively tests for methods to recover this information so that it uses an array of method names instead of a sequence of try/catch. For instance, to determine if we have two active SIMs we could do:

private static String[] simStatusMethodNames = {"getSimStateGemini", "getSimState"};


public static boolean hasTwoActiveSims(Context context) {
    boolean first = false, second = false;

    for (String methodName: simStatusMethodNames) {
        // try with sim 0 first
        try {
            first = getSIMStateBySlot(context, methodName, 0);
            // no exception thrown, means method exists
            second = getSIMStateBySlot(context, methodName, 1);
           return first && second;
        } catch (GeminiMethodNotFoundException e) {
            // method does not exist, nothing to do but test the next
        }
    }
    return false;
}

This way, if a new method name is suggested for some device, you can simply add it to the array and it should work.

maximum value of int

#include <iostrema>

int main(){
    int32_t maxSigned = -1U >> 1;
    cout << maxSigned << '\n';
    return 0;
}

It might be architecture dependent but it does work at least in my setup.

Is there a way to run Bash scripts on Windows?

In order to run natively, you will likely need to use Cygwin (which I cannot live without when using Windows). So right off the bat, +1 for Cygwin. Anything else would be uncivilized.

HOWEVER, that being said, I have recently begun using a combination of utilities to easily PORT Bash scripts to Windows so that my anti-Linux coworkers can easily run complex tasks that are better handled by GNU utilities.

I can usually port a Bash script to Batch in a very short time by opening the original script in one pane and writing a Batch file in the other pane. The tools that I use are as follows:

I prefer UnxUtils to GnuWin32 because of the fact that [someone please correct me if I'm wrong] GnuWin utils normally have to be installed, whereas UnxUtils are standalone binaries that just work out-of-the-box.

However, the CoreUtils do not include some familiar *NIX utilities such as cURL, which is also available for Windows (curl.haxx.se/download.html).

I create a folder for the projects, and always SET PATH=. in the .bat file so that no other commands other than the basic CMD shell commands are referenced (as well as the particular UnxUtils required in the project folder for the Batch script to function as expected).

Then I copy the needed CoreUtils .exe files into the project folder and reference them in the .bat file such as ".\curl.exe -s google.com", etc.

The Bat2Exe program is where the magic happens. Once your Batch file is complete and has been tested successfully, launch Bat2Exe.exe, and specify the path to the project folder. Bat2Exe will then create a Windows binary containing all of the files in that specific folder, and will use the first .bat that it comes across to use as the main executable. You can even include a .ico file to use as the icon for the final .exe file that is generated.

I have tried a few of these type of programs, and many of the generated binaries get flagged as malware, but the Bat2Exe version that I referenced works perfectly and the generated .exe files scan completely clean.

The resulting executable can be run interactively by double-clicking, or run from the command line with parameters, etc., just like a regular Batch file, except you will be able to utilize the functionality of many of the tools that you will normally use in Bash.

I realize this is getting quite long, but if I may digress a bit, I have also written a Batch script that I call PortaBashy that my coworkers can launch from a network share that contains a portable Cygwin installation. It then sets the %PATH% variable to the normal *NIX format (/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin), etc. and can either launch into the Bash shell itself or launch the more-powerful and pretty MinTTY terminal emulator.

There are always numerous ways to accomplish what you are trying to set out to do; it's just a matter of combining the right tools for the job, and many times it boils down to personal preference.

How to convert a List<String> into a comma separated string without iterating List explicitly

With Java 8:

String csv = String.join(",", ids);

With Java 7-, there is a dirty way (note: it works only if you don't insert strings which contain ", " in your list) - obviously, List#toString will perform a loop to create idList but it does not appear in your code:

List<String> ids = new ArrayList<String>();
ids.add("1");
ids.add("2");
ids.add("3");
ids.add("4");
String idList = ids.toString();
String csv = idList.substring(1, idList.length() - 1).replace(", ", ",");

Using Cookie in Asp.Net Mvc 4

We are using Response.SetCookie() for update the old one cookies and Response.Cookies.Add() are use to add the new cookies. Here below code CompanyId is update in old cookie[OldCookieName].

HttpCookie cookie = Request.Cookies["OldCookieName"];//Get the existing cookie by cookie name.
cookie.Values["CompanyID"] = Convert.ToString(CompanyId);
Response.SetCookie(cookie); //SetCookie() is used for update the cookie.
Response.Cookies.Add(cookie); //The Cookie.Add() used for Add the cookie.

Python idiom to return first item or None

What is the preferred Bash shebang?

You should use #!/usr/bin/env bash for portability: different *nixes put bash in different places, and using /usr/bin/env is a workaround to run the first bash found on the PATH. And sh is not bash.

Repository access denied. access via a deployment key is read-only

Deployment keys are read only. To enable write access you need to:

  • Remove this deployment key from your repository settings. You won't be able to write to this repo with this key anyway.

  • Go to "Avatar -> Settings -> SSH Keys" and add the same key

  • Now try to push to remove branch

You were able to write to repositories before but this is a change in BitBucket where you're no longer able to write with deploy key.

How do you produce a .d.ts "typings" definition file from an existing JavaScript library?

I would look for an existing mapping of your 3rd party JS libraries that support Script# or SharpKit. Users of these C# to .js cross compilers will have faced the problem you now face and might have published an open source program to scan your 3rd party lib and convert into skeleton C# classes. If so hack the scanner program to generate TypeScript in place of C#.

Failing that, translating a C# public interface for your 3rd party lib into TypeScript definitions might be simpler than doing the same by reading the source JavaScript.

My special interest is Sencha's ExtJS RIA framework and I know there have been projects published to generate a C# interpretation for Script# or SharpKit

What's the difference between RANK() and DENSE_RANK() functions in oracle?

This article here nicely explains it. Essentially, you can look at it as such:

CREATE TABLE t AS
SELECT 'a' v FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT 'a'   FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT 'a'   FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT 'b'   FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT 'c'   FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT 'c'   FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT 'd'   FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT 'e'   FROM dual;

SELECT
  v,
  ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY v) row_number,
  RANK()       OVER (ORDER BY v) rank,
  DENSE_RANK() OVER (ORDER BY v) dense_rank
FROM t
ORDER BY v;

The above will yield:

+---+------------+------+------------+
| V | ROW_NUMBER | RANK | DENSE_RANK |
+---+------------+------+------------+
| a |          1 |    1 |          1 |
| a |          2 |    1 |          1 |
| a |          3 |    1 |          1 |
| b |          4 |    4 |          2 |
| c |          5 |    5 |          3 |
| c |          6 |    5 |          3 |
| d |          7 |    7 |          4 |
| e |          8 |    8 |          5 |
+---+------------+------+------------+

In words

  • ROW_NUMBER() attributes a unique value to each row
  • RANK() attributes the same row number to the same value, leaving "holes"
  • DENSE_RANK() attributes the same row number to the same value, leaving no "holes"

How to split a string, but also keep the delimiters?

I suggest using Pattern and Matcher, which will almost certainly achieve what you want. Your regular expression will need to be somewhat more complicated than what you are using in String.split.

Multi-dimensional arrays in Bash

Bash does not supports multidimensional array, but we can implement using Associate array. Here the indexes are the key to retrieve the value. Associate array is available in bash version 4.

#!/bin/bash

declare -A arr2d
rows=3
columns=2

for ((i=0;i<rows;i++)) do
    for ((j=0;j<columns;j++)) do
        arr2d[$i,$j]=$i
    done
done


for ((i=0;i<rows;i++)) do
    for ((j=0;j<columns;j++)) do
        echo ${arr2d[$i,$j]}
    done
done

How to get response using cURL in PHP

If anyone else comes across this, I'm adding another answer to provide the response code or other information that might be needed in the "response".

http://php.net/manual/en/function.curl-getinfo.php

// init curl object        
$ch = curl_init();

// define options
$optArray = array(
    CURLOPT_URL => 'http://www.google.com',
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true
);

// apply those options
curl_setopt_array($ch, $optArray);

// execute request and get response
$result = curl_exec($ch);

// also get the error and response code
$errors = curl_error($ch);
$response = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);

curl_close($ch);

var_dump($errors);
var_dump($response);

Output:

string(0) ""
int(200)

// change www.google.com to www.googlebofus.co
string(42) "Could not resolve host: www.googlebofus.co"
int(0)

How to convert dd/mm/yyyy string into JavaScript Date object?

Here is a way to transform a date string with a time of day to a date object. For example to convert "20/10/2020 18:11:25" ("DD/MM/YYYY HH:MI:SS" format) to a date object

    function newUYDate(pDate) {
      let dd = pDate.split("/")[0].padStart(2, "0");
      let mm = pDate.split("/")[1].padStart(2, "0");
      let yyyy = pDate.split("/")[2].split(" ")[0];
      let hh = pDate.split("/")[2].split(" ")[1].split(":")[0].padStart(2, "0");
      let mi = pDate.split("/")[2].split(" ")[1].split(":")[1].padStart(2, "0");
      let secs = pDate.split("/")[2].split(" ")[1].split(":")[2].padStart(2, "0");
    
      mm = (parseInt(mm) - 1).toString(); // January is 0
    
      return new Date(yyyy, mm, dd, hh, mi, secs);
    }

@RequestParam vs @PathVariable

@RequestParam annotation used for accessing the query parameter values from the request. Look at the following request URL:

http://localhost:8080/springmvc/hello/101?param1=10&param2=20

In the above URL request, the values for param1 and param2 can be accessed as below:

public String getDetails(
    @RequestParam(value="param1", required=true) String param1,
        @RequestParam(value="param2", required=false) String param2){
...
}

The following are the list of parameters supported by the @RequestParam annotation:

  • defaultValue – This is the default value as a fallback mechanism if request is not having the value or it is empty.
  • name – Name of the parameter to bind
  • required – Whether the parameter is mandatory or not. If it is true, failing to send that parameter will fail.
  • value – This is an alias for the name attribute

@PathVariable

@PathVariable identifies the pattern that is used in the URI for the incoming request. Let’s look at the below request URL:

http://localhost:8080/springmvc/hello/101?param1=10&param2=20

The above URL request can be written in your Spring MVC as below:

@RequestMapping("/hello/{id}")    public String getDetails(@PathVariable(value="id") String id,
    @RequestParam(value="param1", required=true) String param1,
    @RequestParam(value="param2", required=false) String param2){
.......
}

The @PathVariable annotation has only one attribute value for binding the request URI template. It is allowed to use the multiple @PathVariable annotation in the single method. But, ensure that no more than one method has the same pattern.

Also there is one more interesting annotation: @MatrixVariable

http://localhost:8080/spring_3_2/matrixvars/stocks;BT.A=276.70,+10.40,+3.91;AZN=236.00,+103.00,+3.29;SBRY=375.50,+7.60,+2.07

And the Controller method for it

 @RequestMapping(value = "/{stocks}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
  public String showPortfolioValues(@MatrixVariable Map<String, List<String>> matrixVars, Model model) {

    logger.info("Storing {} Values which are: {}", new Object[] { matrixVars.size(), matrixVars });

    List<List<String>> outlist = map2List(matrixVars);
    model.addAttribute("stocks", outlist);

    return "stocks";
  }

But you must enable:

<mvc:annotation-driven enableMatrixVariables="true" >

Nested ifelse statement

With data.table, the solutions is:

DT[, idnat2 := ifelse(idbp %in% "foreign", "foreign", 
        ifelse(idbp %in% c("colony", "overseas"), "overseas", "mainland" ))]

The ifelse is vectorized. The if-else is not. Here, DT is:

    idnat     idbp
1  french mainland
2  french   colony
3  french overseas
4 foreign  foreign

This gives:

   idnat     idbp   idnat2
1:  french mainland mainland
2:  french   colony overseas
3:  french overseas overseas
4: foreign  foreign  foreign

Converting 'ArrayList<String> to 'String[]' in Java

List <String> list = ...
String[] array = new String[list.size()];
int i=0;
for(String s: list){
  array[i++] = s;
}

What precisely does 'Run as administrator' do?

So ... more digging, with the result. It seems that although I ran one process normal and one "As Administrator", I had UAC off. Turning UAC to medium allowed me to see different results. Basically, it all boils down to integrity levels, which are 5.

Browsers, for example, run at Low Level (1), while services (System user) run at System Level (4). Everything is very well explained in Windows Integrity Mechanism Design . When UAC is enabled, processes are created with Medium level (SID S-1-16-8192 AKA 0x2000 is added) while when "Run as Administrator", the process is created with High Level (SID S-1-16-12288 aka 0x3000).

So the correct ACCESS_TOKEN for a normal user (Medium Integrity level) is:

0:000:x86> !token

for non-admin.

Note that S-1-5-32-544 is BUILTIN\Administrators. Also, there are fewer privileges, and the most important thing to notice:

while for non-admin:

S-1-16-8192

ng: command not found while creating new project using angular-cli

In my case, I was simply running the wrong node version.

I had just previously installed a new node version to play around with Angular (2). At work we use 6.x so that is my default in nvm. After restarting the laptop ng stopped working simply because I was running node 6.x again. So for me it was simply a matter of using the version with which I was installing the Angular CLI:

nvm use node // with the node alias pointing to the right version

or

nvm use v8.11.3 // if you happen to know the version

Check your installed versions and aliases with

nvm list 

Why and when to use angular.copy? (Deep Copy)

In that case, you don't need to use angular.copy()

Explanation :

  • = represents a reference whereas angular.copy() creates a new object as a deep copy.

  • Using = would mean that changing a property of response.data would change the corresponding property of $scope.example or vice versa.

  • Using angular.copy() the two objects would remain seperate and changes would not reflect on each other.

mappedBy reference an unknown target entity property

The mappedBy attribute is referencing customer while the property is mCustomer, hence the error message. So either change your mapping into:

/** The collection of stores. */
@OneToMany(mappedBy = "mCustomer", cascade = CascadeType.ALL, fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
private Collection<Store> stores;

Or change the entity property into customer (which is what I would do).

The mappedBy reference indicates "Go look over on the bean property named 'customer' on the thing I have a collection of to find the configuration."

How can I enable Assembly binding logging?

When I had the same problem I fixed it by deleting the existing key.snk in that project and adding a new key.

Can I call a constructor from another constructor (do constructor chaining) in C++?

In C++11, a constructor can call another constructor overload:

class Foo  {
     int d;         
public:
    Foo  (int i) : d(i) {}
    Foo  () : Foo(42) {} //New to C++11
};

Additionally, members can be initialized like this as well.

class Foo  {
     int d = 5;         
public:
    Foo  (int i) : d(i) {}
};

This should eliminate the need to create the initialization helper method. And it is still recommended not calling any virtual functions in the constructors or destructors to avoid using any members that might not be initialized.

MySQL foreign key constraints, cascade delete

I got confused by the answer to this question, so I created a test case in MySQL, hope this helps

-- Schema
CREATE TABLE T1 (
    `ID` int not null auto_increment,
    `Label` varchar(50),
    primary key (`ID`)
);

CREATE TABLE T2 (
    `ID` int not null auto_increment,
    `Label` varchar(50),
    primary key (`ID`)
);

CREATE TABLE TT (
    `IDT1` int not null,
    `IDT2` int not null,
    primary key (`IDT1`,`IDT2`)
);

ALTER TABLE `TT`
    ADD CONSTRAINT `fk_tt_t1` FOREIGN KEY (`IDT1`) REFERENCES `T1`(`ID`) ON DELETE CASCADE,
    ADD CONSTRAINT `fk_tt_t2` FOREIGN KEY (`IDT2`) REFERENCES `T2`(`ID`) ON DELETE CASCADE;

-- Data
INSERT INTO `T1` (`Label`) VALUES ('T1V1'),('T1V2'),('T1V3'),('T1V4');
INSERT INTO `T2` (`Label`) VALUES ('T2V1'),('T2V2'),('T2V3'),('T2V4');
INSERT INTO `TT` (`IDT1`,`IDT2`) VALUES
(1,1),(1,2),(1,3),(1,4),
(2,1),(2,2),(2,3),(2,4),
(3,1),(3,2),(3,3),(3,4),
(4,1),(4,2),(4,3),(4,4);

-- Delete
DELETE FROM `T2` WHERE `ID`=4; -- Delete one field, all the associated fields on tt, will be deleted, no change in T1
TRUNCATE `T2`; -- Can't truncate a table with a referenced field
DELETE FROM `T2`; -- This will do the job, delete all fields from T2, and all associations from TT, no change in T1

Explain why constructor inject is better than other options

Constructor injection is used when the class cannot function without the dependent class.

Property injection is used when the class can function without the dependent class.

As a concrete example, consider a ServiceRepository which depends on IService to do its work. Since ServiceRepository cannot function usefully without IService, it makes sense to have it injected via the constructor.

The same ServiceRepository class may use a Logger to do tracing. The ILogger can be injected via Property injection.

Other common examples of Property injection are ICache (another aspect in AOP terminology) or IBaseProperty (a property in the base class).

SQL How to replace values of select return?

If you want the column as string values, then:

SELECT id, name, CASE WHEN hide = 0 THEN 'false' ELSE 'true' END AS hide
  FROM anonymous_table

If the DBMS supports BOOLEAN, you can use instead:

SELECT id, name, CASE WHEN hide = 0 THEN false ELSE true END AS hide
  FROM anonymous_table

That's the same except that the quotes around the names false and true were removed.

How to draw a rounded Rectangle on HTML Canvas?

Here's one I wrote... uses arcs instead of quadratic curves for better control over radius. Also, it leaves the stroking and filling up to you

    /* Canvas 2d context - roundRect
 *
 * Accepts 5 parameters, the start_x and start_y points, the end_x and end_y points, and the radius of the corners
 * 
 * No return value
 */

CanvasRenderingContext2D.prototype.roundRect = function(sx,sy,ex,ey,r) {
    var r2d = Math.PI/180;
    if( ( ex - sx ) - ( 2 * r ) < 0 ) { r = ( ( ex - sx ) / 2 ); } //ensure that the radius isn't too large for x
    if( ( ey - sy ) - ( 2 * r ) < 0 ) { r = ( ( ey - sy ) / 2 ); } //ensure that the radius isn't too large for y
    this.beginPath();
    this.moveTo(sx+r,sy);
    this.lineTo(ex-r,sy);
    this.arc(ex-r,sy+r,r,r2d*270,r2d*360,false);
    this.lineTo(ex,ey-r);
    this.arc(ex-r,ey-r,r,r2d*0,r2d*90,false);
    this.lineTo(sx+r,ey);
    this.arc(sx+r,ey-r,r,r2d*90,r2d*180,false);
    this.lineTo(sx,sy+r);
    this.arc(sx+r,sy+r,r,r2d*180,r2d*270,false);
    this.closePath();
}

Here is an example:

var _e = document.getElementById('#my_canvas');
var _cxt = _e.getContext("2d");
_cxt.roundRect(35,10,260,120,20);
_cxt.strokeStyle = "#000";
_cxt.stroke();

jquery to change style attribute of a div class

In order to change the attribute of the class conditionally,

var css_val = $(".handle").css('left');
if(css_val == '336px')
{
  $(".handle").css('left','300px');
}

If id is given as following,

<a id="handle" class="handle" href="#" style="left: 336px;"></a>

Here is an alternative solution:

var css_val = $("#handle").css('left');
if(css_val == '336px')
{
  $("#handle").css('left','300px');
}

background:none vs background:transparent what is the difference?

There is no difference between them.

If you don't specify a value for any of the half-dozen properties that background is a shorthand for, then it is set to its default value. none and transparent are the defaults.

One explicitly sets the background-image to none and implicitly sets the background-color to transparent. The other is the other way around.

Woocommerce get products

Always use tax_query to get posts/products from a particular category or any other taxonomy. You can also get the products using ID/slug of particular taxonomy...

$the_query = new WP_Query( array(

    'tax_query' => array(
        array (
            'taxonomy' => 'product_cat',
            'field' => 'slug',
            'terms' => 'accessories',
        )
    ),
) );

while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) :
    $the_query->the_post();
    the_title(); echo "<br>";
endwhile;

Factorial in numpy and scipy

You can save some homemade factorial functions on a separate module, utils.py, and then import them and compare the performance with the predefinite one, in scipy, numpy and math using timeit. In this case I used as external method the last proposed by Stefan Gruenwald:

import numpy as np


def factorial(n):
    return reduce((lambda x,y: x*y),range(1,n+1))

Main code (I used a framework proposed by JoshAdel in another post, look for how-can-i-get-an-array-of-alternating-values-in-python):

from timeit import Timer
from utils import factorial
import scipy

    n = 100

    # test the time for the factorial function obtained in different ways:

    if __name__ == '__main__':

        setupstr="""
    import scipy, numpy, math
    from utils import factorial
    n = 100
    """

        method1="""
    factorial(n)
    """

        method2="""
    scipy.math.factorial(n)  # same algo as numpy.math.factorial, math.factorial
    """

        nl = 1000
        t1 = Timer(method1, setupstr).timeit(nl)
        t2 = Timer(method2, setupstr).timeit(nl)

        print 'method1', t1
        print 'method2', t2

        print factorial(n)
        print scipy.math.factorial(n)

Which provides:

method1 0.0195569992065
method2 0.00638914108276

93326215443944152681699238856266700490715968264381621468592963895217599993229915608941463976156518286253697920827223758251185210916864000000000000000000000000

Swift extract regex matches

@p4bloch if you want to capture results from a series of capture parentheses, then you need to use the rangeAtIndex(index) method of NSTextCheckingResult, instead of range. Here's @MartinR 's method for Swift2 from above, adapted for capture parentheses. In the array that is returned, the first result [0] is the entire capture, and then individual capture groups begin from [1]. I commented out the map operation (so it's easier to see what I changed) and replaced it with nested loops.

func matches(for regex: String!, in text: String!) -> [String] {

    do {
        let regex = try NSRegularExpression(pattern: regex, options: [])
        let nsString = text as NSString
        let results = regex.matchesInString(text, options: [], range: NSMakeRange(0, nsString.length))
        var match = [String]()
        for result in results {
            for i in 0..<result.numberOfRanges {
                match.append(nsString.substringWithRange( result.rangeAtIndex(i) ))
            }
        }
        return match
        //return results.map { nsString.substringWithRange( $0.range )} //rangeAtIndex(0)
    } catch let error as NSError {
        print("invalid regex: \(error.localizedDescription)")
        return []
    }
}

An example use case might be, say you want to split a string of title year eg "Finding Dory 2016" you could do this:

print ( matches(for: "^(.+)\\s(\\d{4})" , in: "Finding Dory 2016"))
// ["Finding Dory 2016", "Finding Dory", "2016"]

Warning - Build path specifies execution environment J2SE-1.4

The above solutions fix the project or work around the problem in some way. Sometimes you just don't want to fix the project and just hide the warning instead.

To do that, configure the contents of the warning panel and make sure to toggle-off the "build path"->"JRE System Path Problem" category. The UI for this dialog is a bit complex/weird/usability challenged so you might have to fiddle with a few of the options to make it do what you want.

Communication between multiple docker-compose projects

Another option is just running up the first module with the 'docker-compose' check the ip related with the module, and connect the second module with the previous net like external, and pointing the internal ip

example app1 - new-network created in the service lines, mark as external: true at the bottom app2 - indicate the "new-network" created by app1 when goes up, mark as external: true at the bottom, and set in the config to connect, the ip that app1 have in this net.

With this, you should be able to talk with each other

*this way is just for local-test focus, in order to don't do an over complex configuration ** I know is very 'patch way' but works for me and I think is so simple some other can take advantage of this

A TypeScript GUID class?

There is an implementation in my TypeScript utilities based on JavaScript GUID generators.

Here is the code:

_x000D_
_x000D_
class Guid {_x000D_
  static newGuid() {_x000D_
    return 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx'.replace(/[xy]/g, function(c) {_x000D_
      var r = Math.random() * 16 | 0,_x000D_
        v = c == 'x' ? r : (r & 0x3 | 0x8);_x000D_
      return v.toString(16);_x000D_
    });_x000D_
  }_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
// Example of a bunch of GUIDs_x000D_
for (var i = 0; i < 100; i++) {_x000D_
  var id = Guid.newGuid();_x000D_
  console.log(id);_x000D_
}
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Please note the following:

C# GUIDs are guaranteed to be unique. This solution is very likely to be unique. There is a huge gap between "very likely" and "guaranteed" and you don't want to fall through this gap.

JavaScript-generated GUIDs are great to use as a temporary key that you use while waiting for a server to respond, but I wouldn't necessarily trust them as the primary key in a database. If you are going to rely on a JavaScript-generated GUID, I would be tempted to check a register each time a GUID is created to ensure you haven't got a duplicate (an issue that has come up in the Chrome browser in some cases).

It's simpler if you modify your HTML a little bit:

<label for="first_name">First Name</label>
<input type="text" id="name" name="name" />

<label for="surname">Surname</label>
<input type="text" id="surname" name="surname" />

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

then it's relatively simple

$(document).ready(function() { 
    $('#name').change(function() {
      $('#firstname').val($('#name').val());
    });
});

Go back into cmd , type in "python" and paste the path and hit enter. Done

What's the most concise way to read query parameters in AngularJS?

To give a partial answer my own question, here is a working sample for HTML5 browsers:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html ng-app="myApp">
<head>
  <script src="http://code.angularjs.org/1.0.0rc10/angular-1.0.0rc10.js"></script>
  <script>
    angular.module('myApp', [], function($locationProvider) {
      $locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
    });
    function QueryCntl($scope, $location) {
      $scope.target = $location.search()['target'];
    }
  </script>
</head>
<body ng-controller="QueryCntl">

Target: {{target}}<br/>

</body>
</html>

The key was to call $locationProvider.html5Mode(true); as done above. It now works when opening http://127.0.0.1:8080/test.html?target=bob. I'm not happy about the fact that it won't work in older browsers, but I might use this approach anyway.

An alternative that would work with older browsers would be to drop the html5mode(true) call and use the following address with hash+slash instead:

http://127.0.0.1:8080/test.html#/?target=bob

The relevant documentation is at Developer Guide: Angular Services: Using $location (strange that my google search didn't find this...).

RegEx to extract all matches from string using RegExp.exec

This is a solution

var s = '[description:"aoeu" uuid:"123sth"]';

var re = /\s*([^[:]+):\"([^"]+)"/g;
var m;
while (m = re.exec(s)) {
  console.log(m[1], m[2]);
}

This is based on lawnsea's answer, but shorter.

Notice that the `g' flag must be set to move the internal pointer forward across invocations.

MongoDB Data directory /data/db not found

MongoDB needs data directory to store data. Default path is /data/db

When you start MongoDB engine, it searches this directory which is missing in your case. Solution is create this directory and assign rwx permission to user.

If you want to change the path of your data directory then you should specify it while starting mongod server like,

mongod --dbpath /data/<path> --port <port no> 

This should help you start your mongod server with custom path and port.

Where to put Gradle configuration (i.e. credentials) that should not be committed?

If you have user specific credentials ( i.e each developer might have different username/password ) then I would recommend using the gradle-properties-plugin.

  1. Put defaults in gradle.properties
  2. Each developer overrides with gradle-local.properties ( this should be git ignored ).

This is better than overriding using $USER_HOME/.gradle/gradle.properties because different projects might have same property names.

Determine path of the executing script

A slimmed down variant of Supressingfire's answer:

source_local <- function(fname){
    argv <- commandArgs(trailingOnly = FALSE)
    base_dir <- dirname(substring(argv[grep("--file=", argv)], 8))
    source(paste(base_dir, fname, sep="/"))

Launching an application (.EXE) from C#?

Use Process.Start to start a process.

using System.Diagnostics;

    //
    Process.Start("C:\\process.exe");
    }
} 

How do I increase the scrollback buffer in a running screen session?

Press Ctrl-a then : and then type

scrollback 10000

to get a 10000 line buffer, for example.

You can also set the default number of scrollback lines by adding

defscrollback 10000

to your ~/.screenrc file.

To scroll (if your terminal doesn't allow you to by default), press Ctrl-a ESC and then scroll (with the usual Ctrl-f for next page or Ctrl-a for previous page, or just with your mouse wheel / two-fingers). To exit the scrolling mode, just press ESC.

Another tip: Ctrl-a i shows your current buffer setting.

Angular 2 - Checking for server errors from subscribe

As stated in the relevant RxJS documentation, the .subscribe() method can take a third argument that is called on completion if there are no errors.

For reference:

  1. [onNext] (Function): Function to invoke for each element in the observable sequence.
  2. [onError] (Function): Function to invoke upon exceptional termination of the observable sequence.
  3. [onCompleted] (Function): Function to invoke upon graceful termination of the observable sequence.

Therefore you can handle your routing logic in the onCompleted callback since it will be called upon graceful termination (which implies that there won't be any errors when it is called).

this.httpService.makeRequest()
    .subscribe(
      result => {
        // Handle result
        console.log(result)
      },
      error => {
        this.errors = error;
      },
      () => {
        // 'onCompleted' callback.
        // No errors, route to new page here
      }
    );

As a side note, there is also a .finally() method which is called on completion regardless of the success/failure of the call. This may be helpful in scenarios where you always want to execute certain logic after an HTTP request regardless of the result (i.e., for logging purposes or for some UI interaction such as showing a modal).

Rx.Observable.prototype.finally(action)

Invokes a specified action after the source observable sequence terminates gracefully or exceptionally.

For instance, here is a basic example:

import { Observable } from 'rxjs/Rx';
import 'rxjs/add/operator/finally';

// ...

this.httpService.getRequest()
    .finally(() => {
      // Execute after graceful or exceptionally termination
      console.log('Handle logging logic...');
    })
    .subscribe (
      result => {
        // Handle result
        console.log(result)
      },
      error => {
        this.errors = error;
      },
      () => {
        // No errors, route to new page
      }
    );

What does this symbol mean in JavaScript?

See the documentation on MDN about expressions and operators and statements.

Basic keywords and general expressions

this keyword:

var x = function() vs. function x() — Function declaration syntax

(function(){})() — IIFE (Immediately Invoked Function Expression)

someFunction()() — Functions which return other functions

=> — Equal sign, greater than: arrow function expression syntax

|> — Pipe, greater than: Pipeline operator

function*, yield, yield* — Star after function or yield: generator functions

[], Array() — Square brackets: array notation

If the square brackets appear on the left side of an assignment ([a] = ...), or inside a function's parameters, it's a destructuring assignment.

{key: value} — Curly brackets: object literal syntax (not to be confused with blocks)

If the curly brackets appear on the left side of an assignment ({ a } = ...) or inside a function's parameters, it's a destructuring assignment.

`${}` — Backticks, dollar sign with curly brackets: template literals

// — Slashes: regular expression literals

$ — Dollar sign in regex replace patterns: $$, $&, $`, $', $n

() — Parentheses: grouping operator


Property-related expressions

obj.prop, obj[prop], obj["prop"] — Square brackets or dot: property accessors

?., ?.[], ?.() — Question mark, dot: optional chaining operator

:: — Double colon: bind operator

new operator

...iter — Three dots: spread syntax; rest parameters


Increment and decrement

++, -- — Double plus or minus: pre- / post-increment / -decrement operators


Unary and binary (arithmetic, logical, bitwise) operators

delete operator

void operator

+, - — Plus and minus: addition or concatenation, and subtraction operators; unary sign operators

|, &, ^, ~ — Single pipe, ampersand, circumflex, tilde: bitwise OR, AND, XOR, & NOT operators

% — Percent sign: remainder operator

&&, ||, ! — Double ampersand, double pipe, exclamation point: logical operators

?? — Double question mark: nullish-coalescing operator

** — Double star: power operator (exponentiation)


Equality operators

==, === — Equal signs: equality operators

!=, !== — Exclamation point and equal signs: inequality operators


Bit shift operators

<<, >>, >>> — Two or three angle brackets: bit shift operators


Conditional operator

?:… — Question mark and colon: conditional (ternary) operator


Assignment operators

= — Equal sign: assignment operator

%= — Percent equals: remainder assignment

+= — Plus equals: addition assignment operator

&&=, ||=, ??= — Double ampersand, pipe, or question mark, followed by equal sign: logical assignments

Destructuring


Comma operator

, — Comma operator


Control flow

PHP: cannot declare class because the name is already in use

I had this problem before and to fix this, Just make sure :

  1. You did not create an instance of this class before
  2. If you call this from a class method, make sure the __destruct is set on the class you called from.

My problem (before) :
I had class : Core, Router, Permissions and Render Core include's the Router class, Router then calls Permissions class, then Router __destruct calls the Render class and the error "Cannot declare class because the name is already in use" appeared.

Solution :
I added __destruct on Permission class and the __destruct was empty and it's fixed...

.htaccess not working on localhost with XAMPP

In conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf, add the line AllowOverride All for all the websites that you are having problem with

    # rest of the stuff

        Require all granted
         AllowOverride All <-----This line is required

Throwing multiple exceptions in a method of an interface in java

I think you are asking for something like the code below:

public interface A
{
    void foo() 
        throws AException;
}

public class B
    implements A
{
    @Overrides 
    public void foo()
        throws AException,
               BException
    {
    }
}

This will not work unless BException is a subclass of AException. When you override a method you must conform to the signature that the parent provides, and exceptions are part of the signature.

The solution is to declare the the interface also throws a BException.

The reason for this is you do not want code like:

public class Main
{
    public static void main(final String[] argv)
    {
        A a;

        a = new B();

        try
        {
            a.foo();
        }
        catch(final AException ex)
        {
        }
        // compiler will not let you write a catch BException if the A interface
        // doesn't say that it is thrown.
    }
}

What would happen if B::foo threw a BException? The program would have to exit as there could be no catch for it. To avoid situations like this child classes cannot alter the types of exceptions thrown (except that they can remove exceptions from the list).

Removing legend on charts with chart.js v2

The options object can be added to the chart when the new Chart object is created.

            display: false

            enabled: false
         }
    }
});

Getting the screen resolution using PHP

PHP is a server side language - it's executed on the server only, and the resultant program output is sent to the client. As such, there's no "client screen" information available.

That said, you can have the client tell you what their screen resolution is via JavaScript. Write a small scriptlet to send you screen.width and screen.height - possibly via AJAX, or more likely with an initial "jump page" that finds it, then redirects to http://example.net/index.php?size=AxB

Though speaking as a user, I'd much prefer you to design a site to fluidly handle any screen resolution. I browse in different sized windows, mostly not maximized.

How do I make a file:// hyperlink that works in both IE and Firefox?

file Protocol
Opens a file on a local or network drive.

Syntax

Copy
 file:///sDrives[|sFile]
Tokens 

sDrives
Specifies the local or network drive.

sFile
Optional. Specifies the file to open. If sFile is omitted and the account accessing the drive has permission to browse the directory, a list of accessible files and directories is displayed.

Remarks

The file protocol and sDrives parameter can be omitted and substituted with just the command line representation of the drive letter and file location. For example, to browse the My Documents directory, the file protocol can be specified as file:///C|/My Documents/ or as C:\My Documents. In addition, a single '\' is equivalent to specifying the root directory on the primary local drive. On most computers, this is C:.

Available as of Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 or later.

Note Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack 1 (SP1) no longer allows browsing a local machine from the Internet zone. For instance, if an Internet site contains a link to a local file, Internet Explorer 6 SP1 displays a blank page when a user clicks on the link. Previous versions of Windows Internet Explorer followed the link to the local file.

Example

The following sample demonstrates four ways to use the File protocol.

Copy

//Specifying a drive and a file name. 

file:///C|/My Documents/ALetter.html

//Specifying only a drive and a path to browse the directory. 

file:///C|/My Documents/

//Specifying a drive and a directory using the command line representation of the directory location. 

C:\My Documents\

//Specifying only the directory on the local primary drive. 

\My Documents\

Get Absolute Position of element within the window in wpf

I think what BrandonS wants is not the position of the mouse relative to the root element, but rather the position of some descendant element.

For that, there is the TransformToAncestor method:

Point relativePoint = myVisual.TransformToAncestor(rootVisual)
                              .Transform(new Point(0, 0));

Where myVisual is the element that was just double-clicked, and rootVisual is Application.Current.MainWindow or whatever you want the position relative to.

Trimming text strings in SQL Server 2008

You can use the RTrim function to trim all whitespace from the right. Use LTrim to trim all whitespace from the left. For example

UPDATE Table SET Name = RTrim(Name)

Or for both left and right trim

UPDATE Table SET Name = LTrim(RTrim(Name))

Best practice to run Linux service as a different user

Just to add some other things to watch out for:

  • Sudo in a init.d script is no good since it needs a tty ("sudo: sorry, you must have a tty to run sudo")
  • If you are daemonizing a java application, you might want to consider Java Service Wrapper (which provides a mechanism for setting the user id)
  • Another alternative could be su --session-command=[cmd] [user]

SQL Server Linked Server Example Query

The format should probably be:

<server>.<database>.<schema>.<table>

For example: DatabaseServer1.db1.dbo.table1


Update: I know this is an old question and the answer I have is correct; however, I think any one else stumbling upon this should know a few things.

Namely, when querying against a linked server in a join situation the ENTIRE table from the linked server will likely be downloaded to the server the query is executing from in order to do the join operation. In the OP's case, both table1 from DB1 and table1 from DB2 will be transferred in their entirety to the server executing the query, presumably named DB3.

If you have large tables, this may result in an operation that takes a long time to execute. After all it is now constrained by network traffic speeds which is orders of magnitude slower than memory or even disk transfer speeds.

If possible, perform a single query against the remote server, without joining to a local table, to pull the data you need into a temp table. Then query off of that.

If that's not possible then you need to look at the various things that would cause SQL server to have to load the entire table locally. For example using GETDATE() or even certain joins. Others performance killers include not giving appropriate rights.

See http://thomaslarock.com/2013/05/top-3-performance-killers-for-linked-server-queries/ for some more info.

Find files in a folder using Java

You give the name of your file, the path of the directory to search, and let it make the job.

private static String getPath(String drl, String whereIAm) {
    File dir = new File(whereIAm); //StaticMethods.currentPath() + "\\src\\main\\resources\\" + 
    for(File e : dir.listFiles()) {
        if(e.isFile() && e.getName().equals(drl)) {return e.getPath();}
        if(e.isDirectory()) {
            String idiot = getPath(drl, e.getPath());
            if(idiot != null) {return idiot;}
        }
    }
    return null;

What is a segmentation fault?

According to Wikipedia:

A segmentation fault occurs when a program attempts to access a memory location that it is not allowed to access, or attempts to access a memory location in a way that is not allowed (for example, attempting to write to a read-only location, or to overwrite part of the operating system).

How to secure an ASP.NET Web API

Have you tried DevDefined.OAuth?

I have used it to secure my WebApi with 2-Legged OAuth. I have also successfully tested it with PHP clients.

It's quite easy to add support for OAuth using this library. Here's how you can implement the provider for ASP.NET MVC Web API:

1) Get the source code of DevDefined.OAuth: https://github.com/bittercoder/DevDefined.OAuth - the newest version allows for OAuthContextBuilder extensibility.

2) Build the library and reference it in your Web API project.

3) Create a custom context builder to support building a context from HttpRequestMessage:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Collections.Specialized;
using System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Web;

using DevDefined.OAuth.Framework;

public class WebApiOAuthContextBuilder : OAuthContextBuilder
{
    public WebApiOAuthContextBuilder()
        : base(UriAdjuster)
    {
    }

    public IOAuthContext FromHttpRequest(HttpRequestMessage request)
    {
        var context = new OAuthContext
            {
                RawUri = this.CleanUri(request.RequestUri), 
                Cookies = this.CollectCookies(request), 
                Headers = ExtractHeaders(request), 
                RequestMethod = request.Method.ToString(), 
                QueryParameters = request.GetQueryNameValuePairs()
                    .ToNameValueCollection(), 
            };

        if (request.Content != null)
        {
            var contentResult = request.Content.ReadAsByteArrayAsync();
            context.RawContent = contentResult.Result;

            try
            {
                // the following line can result in a NullReferenceException
                var contentType = 
                    request.Content.Headers.ContentType.MediaType;
                context.RawContentType = contentType;

                if (contentType.ToLower()
                    .Contains("application/x-www-form-urlencoded"))
                {
                    var stringContentResult = request.Content
                        .ReadAsStringAsync();
                    context.FormEncodedParameters = 
                        HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(stringContentResult.Result);
                }
            }
            catch (NullReferenceException)
            {
            }
        }

        this.ParseAuthorizationHeader(context.Headers, context);

        return context;
    }

    protected static NameValueCollection ExtractHeaders(
        HttpRequestMessage request)
    {
        var result = new NameValueCollection();

        foreach (var header in request.Headers)
        {
            var values = header.Value.ToArray();
            var value = string.Empty;

            if (values.Length > 0)
            {
                value = values[0];
            }

            result.Add(header.Key, value);
        }

        return result;
    }

    protected NameValueCollection CollectCookies(
        HttpRequestMessage request)
    {
        IEnumerable<string> values;

        if (!request.Headers.TryGetValues("Set-Cookie", out values))
        {
            return new NameValueCollection();
        }

        var header = values.FirstOrDefault();

        return this.CollectCookiesFromHeaderString(header);
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Adjust the URI to match the RFC specification (no query string!!).
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="uri">
    /// The original URI. 
    /// </param>
    /// <returns>
    /// The adjusted URI. 
    /// </returns>
    private static Uri UriAdjuster(Uri uri)
    {
        return
            new Uri(
                string.Format(
                    "{0}://{1}{2}{3}", 
                    uri.Scheme, 
                    uri.Host, 
                    uri.IsDefaultPort ?
                        string.Empty :
                        string.Format(":{0}", uri.Port), 
                    uri.AbsolutePath));
    }
}

4) Use this tutorial for creating an OAuth provider: http://code.google.com/p/devdefined-tools/wiki/OAuthProvider. In the last step (Accessing Protected Resource Example) you can use this code in your AuthorizationFilterAttribute attribute:

public override void OnAuthorization(HttpActionContext actionContext)
{
    // the only change I made is use the custom context builder from step 3:
    OAuthContext context = 
        new WebApiOAuthContextBuilder().FromHttpRequest(actionContext.Request);

    try
    {
        provider.AccessProtectedResourceRequest(context);

        // do nothing here
    }
    catch (OAuthException authEx)
    {
        // the OAuthException's Report property is of the type "OAuthProblemReport", it's ToString()
        // implementation is overloaded to return a problem report string as per
        // the error reporting OAuth extension: http://wiki.oauth.net/ProblemReporting
        actionContext.Response = new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.Unauthorized)
            {
               RequestMessage = request, ReasonPhrase = authEx.Report.ToString()
            };
    }
}

I have implemented my own provider so I haven't tested the above code (except of course the WebApiOAuthContextBuilder which I'm using in my provider) but it should work fine.

How can I add a line to a file in a shell script?

sed is line based, so I'm not sure why you want to do this with sed. The paradigm is more processing one line at a time( you could also programatically find the # of fields in the CSV and generate your header line with awk) Why not just

echo "c1, c2, ... " >> file
cat testfile.csv >> file

?

Python find elements in one list that are not in the other

If the number of occurences should be taken into account you probably need to use something like collections.Counter:

list_1=["a", "b", "c", "d", "e"]
list_2=["a", "f", "c", "m"] 
from collections import Counter
cnt1 = Counter(list_1)
cnt2 = Counter(list_2)
final = [key for key, counts in cnt2.items() if cnt1.get(key, 0) != counts]

>>> final
['f', 'm']

As promised this can also handle differing number of occurences as "difference":

list_1=["a", "b", "c", "d", "e", 'a']
cnt1 = Counter(list_1)
cnt2 = Counter(list_2)
final = [key for key, counts in cnt2.items() if cnt1.get(key, 0) != counts]

>>> final
['a', 'f', 'm']

How to change XAMPP apache server port?

if don't work above port id then change it.like 8082,8080 Restart xammp,Start apache server,Check it.It's now working.

Python; urllib error: AttributeError: 'bytes' object has no attribute 'read'

Use json.loads not json.load.

(load loads from a file-like object, loads from a string. So you could just as well omit the .read() call instead.)

Xcopy Command excluding files and folders

Like Andrew said /exclude parameter of xcopy should be existing file that has list of excludes.

Documentation of xcopy says:

Using /exclude

List each string in a separate line in each file. If any of the listed strings match any part of the absolute path of the file to be copied, that file is then excluded from the copying process. For example, if you specify the string "\Obj\", you exclude all files underneath the Obj directory. If you specify the string ".obj", you exclude all files with the .obj extension.

Example:

xcopy c:\t1 c:\t2 /EXCLUDE:list-of-excluded-files.txt

and list-of-excluded-files.txt should exist in current folder (otherwise pass full path), with listing of files/folders to exclude - one file/folder per line. In your case that would be:

exclusion.txt

How can Bash execute a command in a different directory context?

Use cd in a subshell; the shorthand way to use this kind of subshell is parentheses.

(cd wherever; mycommand ...)

That said, if your command has an environment that it requires, it should really ensure that environment itself instead of putting the onus on anything that might want to use it (unless it's an internal command used in very specific circumstances in the context of a well defined larger system, such that any caller already needs to ensure the environment it requires). Usually this would be some kind of shell script wrapper.

Favicon not showing up in Google Chrome

I also experienced the same thing. I found out that my favicon.ico had not been processed as a legitimate shortcut icon. I understand that favicons must be scaled to 16x16 and follow the Microsoft Icon format.

Get current controller in view

I have put this in my partial view:

@HttpContext.Current.Request.RequestContext.RouteData.Values["controller"].ToString()

in the same kind of situation you describe, and it shows the controller described in the URL (Category for you, Product for me), instead of the actual location of the partial view.

So use this alert instead:

alert('@HttpContext.Current.Request.RequestContext.RouteData.Values["controller"].ToString()');

"echo -n" prints "-n"

There are multiple versions of the echo command, with different behaviors. Apparently the shell used for your script uses a version that doesn't recognize -n.

The printf command has much more consistent behavior. echo is fine for simple things like echo hello, but I suggest using printf for anything more complicated.

What system are you on, and what shell does your script use?

Server unable to read htaccess file, denying access to be safe

In linux,

find project_directory_name_here -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
find project_directory_name_here -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

It will replace all files and folder permission of project_directory_name_here and its inside stuff.

unable to dequeue a cell with identifier Cell - must register a nib or a class for the identifier or connect a prototype cell in a storyboard

My problem was I was registering table view cell inside dispatch queue asynchronously. If you have registered table view source and delegate reference in storyboard then dispatch queue would delay the registration of cell as name suggests it will happen asynchronously and your table view is looking for the cells.

DispatchQueue.main.async {
    self.tableView.register(CampaignTableViewCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: CampaignTableViewCell.identifier())
    self.tableView.reloadData()
}

Either you shouldn't use dispatch queue for registration OR do this:

DispatchQueue.main.async {
    self.tableView.dataSource = self
    self.tableView.delegate = self
    self.tableView.register(CampaignTableViewCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: CampaignTableViewCell.identifier())
    self.tableView.reloadData()
}

How to make an Asynchronous Method return a value?

Probably the simplest way to do it is to create a delegate and then BeginInvoke, followed by a wait at some time in the future, and an EndInvoke.

public bool Foo(){
    Thread.Sleep(100000); // Do work
    return true;
}

public SomeMethod()
{
    var fooCaller = new Func<bool>(Foo);
    // Call the method asynchronously
    var asyncResult = fooCaller.BeginInvoke(null, null);

    // Potentially do other work while the asynchronous method is executing.

    // Finally, wait for result
    asyncResult.AsyncWaitHandle.WaitOne();
    bool fooResult = fooCaller.EndInvoke(asyncResult);

    Console.WriteLine("Foo returned {0}", fooResult);
}

How can I align two divs horizontally?

You need to float the divs in required direction eg left or right.

Load data from txt with pandas

You can do as:

How can I get the file name from request.FILES?

file = request.FILES['filename']
file.name           # Gives name
file.content_type   # Gives Content type text/html etc
