Programs & Examples On #Frameset

In HTML, the frameset element is a container for dividing a browser window into rectangular subspaces called frames. Whilst user agents are still required to render them, Framesets are considered obsolete in HTML5.

Alternative for frames in html5 using iframes

Frames have been deprecated because they caused trouble for url navigation and hyperlinking, because the url would just take to you the index page (with the frameset) and there was no way to specify what was in each of the frame windows. Today, webpages are often generated by server-side technologies such as PHP, ASP.NET, Ruby etc. So instead of using frames, pages can simply be generated by merging a template with content like this:

Template File 

<html>
<head>
<title>{insert script variable for title}</title>
</head>

<body>
  <div class="menu">
   {menu items inserted here by server-side scripting}
  </div>
  <div class="main-content">
   {main content inserted here by server-side scripting}
  </div>
</body>
</html>

If you don't have full support for a server-side scripting language, you could also use server-side includes (SSI). This will allow you to do the same thing--i.e. generate a single web page from multiple source documents.

But if you really just want to have a section of your webpage be a separate "window" into which you can load other webpages that are not necessarily located on your own server, you will have to use an iframe.

You could emulate your example like this:

Frames Example 

<html>
<head>
  <title>Frames Test</title>
  <style>
   .menu {
      float:left;
      width:20%;
      height:80%;
    }
    .mainContent {
      float:left;
      width:75%;
      height:80%;
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <iframe class="menu" src="menu.html"></iframe>
  <iframe class="mainContent" src="events.html"></iframe>
</body>
</html>

There are probably better ways to achieve the layout. I've used the CSS float attribute, but you could use tables or other methods as well.

How to pick element inside iframe using document.getElementById

You need to make sure the frame is fully loaded the best way to do it is to use onload:

<iframe id="nesgt" src="" onload="custom()"></iframe>

function custom(){
    document.getElementById("nesgt").contentWindow.document;
    }

this function will run automatically when the iframe is fully loaded.

it could be done with setTimeout but we can't get the exact time of the frame load.

hope this helps someone.

How do I get a file extension in PHP?

You can try also this:

 pathinfo(basename($_FILES["fileToUpload"]["name"]), PATHINFO_EXTENSION)

Detect click inside/outside of element with single event handler

Rather than using the jQuery .parents function (as suggested in the accepted answer), it's better to use .closest for this purpose. As explained in the jQuery api docs, .closest checks the element passed and all its parents, whereas .parents just checks the parents. Consequently, this works:

$(function() {
    $("body").click(function(e) {
        if ($(e.target).closest("#myDiv").length) {
            alert("Clicked inside #myDiv");
        } else { 
            alert("Clicked outside #myDiv");
        }
    });
})

Read/write to file using jQuery

Use javascript's execCommand('SaveAs', false, filename); functionality

Edit: No longer works. This Javascript function used to work across all browsers, but now only on IE, due to browser security considerations. It presented a "Save As" Dialog to the user who runs this function through their browser, the user presses OK and the file is saved by javascript on the server side.

Now this code is an rare antique zero day collectible. 

// content is the data (a string) you'll write to file.
// filename is a string filename to write to on server side.
// This function uses iFrame as a buffer, it fills it up with your content
// and prompts the user to save it out.
function save_content_to_file(content, filename){
    var dlg = false;
    with(document){
     ir=createElement('iframe');
     ir.id='ifr';
     ir.location='about.blank';
     ir.style.display='none';
     body.appendChild(ir);
      with(getElementById('ifr').contentWindow.document){
           open("text/plain", "replace");
           charset = "utf-8";
           write(content);
           close();
           document.charset = "utf-8";
           dlg = execCommand('SaveAs', false, filename);
       }
       body.removeChild(ir);
     }
    return dlg;
}

Invoke the function like this:

msg =  "I am the president of tautology club.";
save_content_to_file(msg, "C:\\test");

Get the index of a certain value in an array in PHP

array_search is the way to do it.

array_search ( mixed $needle , array $haystack [, bool $strict = FALSE ] ) : mixed

From the docs:

$array = array(0 => 'blue', 1 => 'red', 2 => 'green', 3 => 'red');

$key = array_search('green', $array); // $key = 2;
$key = array_search('red', $array);   // $key = 1;

You could loop over the array manually and find the index but why do it when there's a function for that. This function always returns a key and it will work well with associative and normal arrays.

CSS /JS to prevent dragging of ghost image?

You can set the draggable attribute to false in either the markup or JavaScript code.

_x000D_
_x000D_ 
// As a jQuery method: $('#myImage').attr('draggable', false);_x000D_
document.getElementById('myImage').setAttribute('draggable', false);
_x000D_ 
<img id="myImage" src="http://placehold.it/150x150">
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

jquery $(window).width() and $(window).height() return different values when viewport has not been resized

Note that if the problem is being caused by appearing scrollbars, putting

body {
  overflow: hidden;
}

in your CSS might be an easy fix (if you don't need the page to scroll).

How to enable copy paste from between host machine and virtual machine in vmware, virtual machine is ubuntu

here is another solution I started using after being fed up with the copy and paste issue:

  1. Download MRemote (for pc). this is an alternative to remote desktop manager. You can use remote desktop manager if you like.
  2. Change the VMNet settings to NAT or add another VMNet and set it to NAT.
  3. Configure the vm ip address with an ip in the same network as you host machine. if you want to keep networks separated use a second vmnet and set it's ip address in the same network as the host. that's what I use.
  4. Enable RDP connections on the guest (I only use windows guests)
  5. Create a batch file with this command. add your guest machines:

vmrun start D:\VM\MySuperVM1\vm1.vmx nogui vmrun start D:\VM\MySuperVM2\vm2.vmx nogui

save the file to startmyvms.cmd

create another batch file and add your vms

vmrun stop D:\VM\MySuperVM1\vm1.vmx nogui vmrun stop D:\VM\MySuperVM2\vm2.vmx nogui

save the file to stopmyvms.cmd

  1. Open Mremote go to tools => External tools Add external tool => filename will be the startmyvms.cmd file Add external tool => filename will be the stopmyvms.cmd file So to start working with your vms:

  2. Create you connections to your VMs in mremote

Now to work with your vm 1. You open mremote 2. You go to tools => external tools 3. You click the startmyvms tool when you're done 1. You go to tools => external tools 2. You click the stopmyvms external tool

you could add the vmrun start on the connection setting => external tool before connection and add the vmrun stop in the connection settings => external tool after

Voilà !

PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available from current channels:

I was trying to install fancyimpute package for imputation but there was not luck. But when i tried below commands, it got installed: Commands: 

conda update conda
conda update anaconda
pip install fancyimpute

(here i was trying to give command conda install fancyimpute which did't work)

Creating C formatted strings (not printing them)

Use sprintf.

int sprintf ( char * str, const char * format, ... );

Write formatted data to string Composes a string with the same text that would be printed if format was used on printf, but instead of being printed, the content is stored as a C string in the buffer pointed by str.

The size of the buffer should be large enough to contain the entire resulting string (see snprintf for a safer version).

A terminating null character is automatically appended after the content.

After the format parameter, the function expects at least as many additional arguments as needed for format.

Parameters:

str

Pointer to a buffer where the resulting C-string is stored. The buffer should be large enough to contain the resulting string.

format

C string that contains a format string that follows the same specifications as format in printf (see printf for details).

... (additional arguments)

Depending on the format string, the function may expect a sequence of additional arguments, each containing a value to be used to replace a format specifier in the format string (or a pointer to a storage location, for n). There should be at least as many of these arguments as the number of values specified in the format specifiers. Additional arguments are ignored by the function.

Example:

// Allocates storage
char *hello_world = (char*)malloc(13 * sizeof(char));
// Prints "Hello world!" on hello_world
sprintf(hello_world, "%s %s!", "Hello", "world");

What is the C# equivalent of NaN or IsNumeric?

This doesn't have the regex overhead

double myNum = 0;
String testVar = "Not A Number";

if (Double.TryParse(testVar, out myNum)) {
  // it is a number
} else {
  // it is not a number
}

Incidentally, all of the standard data types, with the glaring exception of GUIDs, support TryParse.

update
secretwep brought up that the value "2345," will pass the above test as a number. However, if you need to ensure that all of the characters within the string are digits, then another approach should be taken.

example 1: 

public Boolean IsNumber(String s) {
  Boolean value = true;
  foreach(Char c in s.ToCharArray()) {
    value = value && Char.IsDigit(c);
  }

  return value;
}

or if you want to be a little more fancy

public Boolean IsNumber(String value) {
  return value.All(Char.IsDigit);
}

update 2 ( from @stackonfire to deal with null or empty strings)

public Boolean IsNumber(String s) { 
    Boolean value = true; 
    if (s == String.Empty || s == null) { 
        value=false; 
    } else { 
        foreach(Char c in s.ToCharArray()) { 
            value = value && Char.IsDigit(c); 
        } 
    } return value; 
}

How to set delay in vbscript

Here is my solution. Worked with script, which was ran by third party program with no WScript declared and no import allowed.

Function MySleep(milliseconds)
  set WScriptShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
  WScriptShell.Run "Sleep -m " & milliseconds, 0, true
end Function

Update
Looks like Microsoft removed Sleep.exe from win 8, so this doesn't work in win 8 unless you put Sleep.exe in folder defined in %path%.

Hive load CSV with commas in quoted fields

If you can re-create or parse your input data, you can specify an escape character for the CREATE TABLE:

ROW FORMAT DELIMITED FIELDS TERMINATED BY "," ESCAPED BY '\\';

Will accept this line as 4 fields

1,some text\, with comma in it,123,more text

'tuple' object does not support item assignment

PIL pixels are tuples, and tuples are immutable. You need to construct a new tuple. So, instead of the for loop, do:

pixels = [(pixel[0] + 20, pixel[1], pixel[2]) for pixel in pixels]
image.putdata(pixels)

Also, if the pixel is already too red, adding 20 will overflow the value. You probably want something like min(pixel[0] + 20, 255) or int(255 * (pixel[0] / 255.) ** 0.9) instead of pixel[0] + 20.

And, to be able to handle images in lots of different formats, do image = image.convert("RGB") after opening the image. The convert method will ensure that the pixels are always (r, g, b) tuples.

Importing larger sql files into MySQL

3 things you have to do, if you are doing it locally:

in php.ini or php.cfg of your php installation

post_max_size=500M

upload_max_filesize=500M

memory_limit=900M

or set other values. Restart Apache.

OR

Use php big dump tool its best ever i have seen. its free and opensource

Scroll / Jump to id without jQuery

Maybe You should try scrollIntoView.

document.getElementById('id').scrollIntoView();

This will scroll to your Element.

Select first 4 rows of a data.frame in R

Use head:

dnow <- data.frame(x=rnorm(100), y=runif(100))
head(dnow,4) ## default is 6

How to install and run Typescript locally in npm?

Note if you are using typings do the following:

rm -r typings
typings install

If your doing the angular 2 tutorial use this:

rm -r typings
npm run postinstall
npm start

if the postinstall command dosen't work, try installing typings globally like so:

npm install -g typings

you can also try the following as opposed to postinstall:

typings install

and you should have this issue fixed!

graphing an equation with matplotlib

Your guess is right: the code is trying to evaluate x**3+2*x-4 immediately. Unfortunately you can't really prevent it from doing so. The good news is that in Python, functions are first-class objects, by which I mean that you can treat them like any other variable. So to fix your function, we could do:

import numpy as np  
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt  

def graph(formula, x_range):  
    x = np.array(x_range)  
    y = formula(x)  # <- note now we're calling the function 'formula' with x
    plt.plot(x, y)  
    plt.show()  

def my_formula(x):
    return x**3+2*x-4

graph(my_formula, range(-10, 11))

If you wanted to do it all in one line, you could use what's called a lambda function, which is just a short function without a name where you don't use def or return:

graph(lambda x: x**3+2*x-4, range(-10, 11))

And instead of range, you can look at np.arange (which allows for non-integer increments), and np.linspace, which allows you to specify the start, stop, and the number of points to use.

Setting up an MS-Access DB for multi-user access

The correct way of building client/server Microsoft Access applications where the data is stored in a RDBMS is to use the Linked Table method. This ensures Data Isolation and Concurrency is maintained between the Microsoft Access client application and the RDBMS data with no additional and unnecessary programming logic and code which makes maintenance more difficult, and adds to development time.

How to squash commits in git after they have been pushed?

1) git rebase -i HEAD~4

To elaborate: It works on the current branch; the HEAD~4 means squashing the latest four commits; interactive mode (-i)

2) At this point, the editor opened, with the list of commits, to change the second and following commits, replacing pick with squash then save it.

output: Successfully rebased and updated refs/heads/branch-name.

3) git push origin refs/heads/branch-name --force

output:

remote:
remote: To create a merge request for branch-name, visit:
remote: http://xxx/sc/server/merge_requests/new?merge_request%5Bsource_branch%5D=sss
remote:To ip:sc/server.git
 + 84b4b60...5045693 branch-name -> branch-name (forced update)

Hex to ascii string conversion

you need to take 2 (hex) chars at the same time... then calculate the int value and after that make the char conversion like...

char d = (char)intValue;

do this for every 2chars in the hex string

this works if the string chars are only 0-9A-F:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int hex_to_int(char c){
        int first = c / 16 - 3;
        int second = c % 16;
        int result = first*10 + second;
        if(result > 9) result--;
        return result;
}

int hex_to_ascii(char c, char d){
        int high = hex_to_int(c) * 16;
        int low = hex_to_int(d);
        return high+low;
}

int main(){
        const char* st = "48656C6C6F3B";
        int length = strlen(st);
        int i;
        char buf = 0;
        for(i = 0; i < length; i++){
                if(i % 2 != 0){
                        printf("%c", hex_to_ascii(buf, st[i]));
                }else{
                        buf = st[i];
                }
        }
}

How to delete files recursively from an S3 bucket

The voted up answer is missing a step.

Per aws s3 help:

Currently, there is no support for the use of UNIX style wildcards in a command's path arguments. However, most commands have --exclude "<value>" and --include "<value>" parameters that can achieve the desired result......... When there are multiple filters, the rule is the filters that appear later in the command take precedence over filters that appear earlier in the command. For example, if the filter parameters passed to the command were --exclude "*" --include "*.txt" All files will be excluded from the command except for files ending with .txt

aws s3 rm --recursive s3://bucket/ --exclude="*" --include="/folder_path/*"

Assign a variable inside a Block to a variable outside a Block

When I saw the same error, I tried to resolve it like:

   __block CGFloat docHeight = 0.0;


    [self evaluateJavaScript:@"document.height" completionHandler:^(id height, NSError *error) {
        //height
        NSLog(@"=========>document.height:@%@",height);
        docHeight = [height floatValue];
    }];

and its working fine

Just add "__block" before Variable.

How to determine whether a given Linux is 32 bit or 64 bit?

With respect to the answer "getconf LONG_BIT".

I wrote a simple function to do it in 'C':

/*
 * check_os_64bit
 *
 * Returns integer:
 *   1 = it is a 64-bit OS
 *   0 = it is NOT a 64-bit OS (probably 32-bit)
 *   < 0 = failure
 *     -1 = popen failed
 *     -2 = fgets failed
 *
 * **WARNING**
 * Be CAREFUL! Just testing for a boolean return may not cut it
 * with this (trivial) implementation! (Think of when it fails,
 * returning -ve; this could be seen as non-zero & therefore true!)
 * Suggestions?
 */
static int check_os_64bit(void)
{
    FILE *fp=NULL;
    char cb64[3];

    fp = popen ("getconf LONG_BIT", "r");
    if (!fp)
       return -1;

    if (!fgets(cb64, 3, fp))
        return -2;

    if (!strncmp (cb64, "64", 3)) {
        return 1;
    }
    else {
        return 0;
    }
}

Good idea, the 'getconf'!

What is jQuery Unobtrusive Validation?

jQuery Validation Unobtrusive Native is a collection of ASP.Net MVC HTML helper extensions. These make use of jQuery Validation's native support for validation driven by HTML 5 data attributes. Microsoft shipped jquery.validate.unobtrusive.js back with MVC 3. It provided a way to apply data model validations to the client side using a combination of jQuery Validation and HTML 5 data attributes (that's the "unobtrusive" part).

Programmatically obtain the phone number of the Android phone

First of all getting users mobile number is against the Ethical policy, earlier it was possible but now as per my research there no solid solution available for this, By using some code it is possible to get mobile number but no guarantee may be it will work only in few device. After lot of research i found only three solution but they are not working in all device.

There is the following reason why we are not getting.

1.Android device and new Sim Card not storing mobile number if mobile number is not available in device and in sim then how it is possible to get number, if any old sim card having mobile number then using Telephony manager we can get the number other wise it will return the “null” or “” or “??????”

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"/>

 TelephonyManager tel= (TelephonyManager)this.getSystemService(Context.
            TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
    String PhoneNumber =  tel.getLine1Number();

Note:- I have tested this solution in following device Moto x, Samsung Tab 4, Samsung S4, Nexus 5 and Redmi 2 prime but it doesn’t work every time it return empty string so conclusion is it's useless

  1. This method is working only in Redmi 2 prime, but for this need to add read contact permission in manifest.

Note:- This is also not the guaranteed and efficient solution, I have tested this solution in many device but it worked only in Redmi 2 prime which is dual sim device it gives me two mobile number first one is correct but the second one is not belong to my second sim it belong to my some old sim card which i am not using.

 String main_data[] = {"data1", "is_primary", "data3", "data2", "data1",
            "is_primary", "photo_uri", "mimetype"};
    Object object = getContentResolver().
            query(Uri.withAppendedPath(android.provider.ContactsContract.Profile.CONTENT_URI, "data"),
            main_data, "mimetype=?",
            new String[]{"vnd.android.cursor.item/phone_v2"},
            "is_primary DESC");
    String s1="";
    if (object != null) {
        do {
            if (!((Cursor) (object)).moveToNext())
                break;
            // This is the phoneNumber
             s1 =s1+"---"+ ((Cursor) (object)).getString(4);
        } while (true);
        ((Cursor) (object)).close();
    }
  1. In my research i have found earlier it was possible to get mobile number using WhatsApp account but now new Whatsapp version doesn’t storing user's mobile number.

Conclusion:- Android doesn’t have any guaranteed solution to get user's mobile number programmatically.

Suggestion:- 1. If you want to verify user’s mobile number then ask to user to provide his number, using otp you can can verify that.

  1. If you want to identify the user’s device, for this you can easily get device IMEI number.

Allow scroll but hide scrollbar

It's better, if you use two div containers in HTML .

As Shown Below:

HTML:

<div id="container1">
    <div id="container2">
        // Content here
    </div>
</div>

CSS:

 #container1{
    height: 100%;
    width: 100%;
    overflow: hidden;
}

 #container2{
    height: 100%;
    width: 100%;
    overflow: auto;
    padding-right: 20px;
}

What does -save-dev mean in npm install grunt --save-dev

When you use the parameter "--save" your dependency will go inside the #1 below in package.json. When you use the parameter "--save-dev" your dependency will go inside the #2 below in package.json.

#1. "dependencies": these packages are required by your application in production.

#2. "devDependencies": these packages are only needed for development and testing

make: *** No rule to make target `all'. Stop

Your makefile should ideally be named makefile, not make. Note that you can call your makefile anything you like, but as you found, you then need the -f option with make to specify the name of the makefile. Using the default name of makefile just makes life easier.

How to use Collections.sort() in Java?

Sort the unsorted hashmap in ascending order.

// Sorting the list based on values
Collections.sort(list, new Comparator<Entry<String, Integer>>() {
public int compare(Entry<String, Integer> o1, Entry<String, Integer> o2) 
{
                return o2.getValue().compareTo(o1.getValue());
        }
    });

    // Maintaining insertion order with the help of LinkedList
    Map<String, Integer> sortedMap = new LinkedHashMap<String, Integer>();
    for (Entry<String, Integer> entry : list) {
        sortedMap.put(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue());
    }

How do I change the ID of a HTML element with JavaScript?

It does work in Firefox (including 2.0.0.20). See http://jsbin.com/akili (add /edit to the url to edit):

<p id="one">One</p>
<a href="#" onclick="document.getElementById('one').id = 'two'; return false">Link2</a>

The first click changes the id to "two", the second click errors because the element with id="one" now can't be found!

Perhaps you have another element already with id="two" (FYI you can't have more than one element with the same id).

where to place CASE WHEN column IS NULL in this query

Try this:

CASE WHEN table3.col3 IS NULL THEN table2.col3 ELSE table3.col3 END as col4

The as col4 should go at the end of the CASE the statement. Also note that you're missing the END too.

Another probably more simple option would be:

IIf([table3.col3] Is Null,[table2.col3],[table3.col3])

Just to clarify, MS Access does not support COALESCE. If it would that would be the best way to go.

Edit after radical question change:

To turn the query into SQL Server then you can use COALESCE (so it was technically answered before too):

SELECT dbo.AdminID.CountryID, dbo.AdminID.CountryName, dbo.AdminID.RegionID, 
dbo.AdminID.[Region name], dbo.AdminID.DistrictID, dbo.AdminID.DistrictName,
dbo.AdminID.ADMIN3_ID, dbo.AdminID.ADMIN3,
COALESCE(dbo.EU_Admin3.EUID, dbo.EU_Admin2.EUID)
FROM dbo.AdminID

BTW, your CASE statement was missing a , before the field. That's why it didn't work.

C# Base64 String to JPEG Image

So with the code you have provided.

var bytes = Convert.FromBase64String(resizeImage.Content);
using (var imageFile = new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Create))
{
    imageFile.Write(bytes ,0, bytes.Length);
    imageFile.Flush();
}

Reordering arrays

The syntax of Array.splice is:

yourArray.splice(index, howmany, element1, /*.....,*/ elementX);

Where:

  • index is the position in the array you want to start removing elements from
  • howmany is how many elements you want to remove from index
  • element1, ..., elementX are elements you want inserted from position index.

This means that splice() can be used to remove elements, add elements, or replace elements in an array, depending on the arguments you pass.

Note that it returns an array of the removed elements.

Something nice and generic would be:

Array.prototype.move = function (from, to) {
  this.splice(to, 0, this.splice(from, 1)[0]);
};

Then just use:

var ar = [1,2,3,4,5];
ar.move(0,3);
alert(ar) // 2,3,4,1,5

Running EXE with parameters

To start the process with parameters, you can use following code:

string filename = Path.Combine(cPath,"HHTCtrlp.exe");
var proc = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(filename, cParams);

To kill/exit the program again, you can use following code:

proc.CloseMainWindow(); 
proc.Close();

MVC 4 client side validation not working

the line below shows you haven't set an DataAttribute like required on AgreementNumber

How to remove Firefox's dotted outline on BUTTONS as well as links?

It looks like the only way to achieve this is by setting

browser.display.focus_ring_width = 0

in about:config on a per browser basis.

Get json value from response

If response is in json and not a string then

alert(response.id);
or
alert(response['id']);

otherwise

var response = JSON.parse('{"id":"2231f87c-a62c-4c2c-8f5d-b76d11942301"}');
response.id ; //# => 2231f87c-a62c-4c2c-8f5d-b76d11942301

Delete a single record from Entity Framework?

I am using entity framework with LINQ. Following code was helpful for me;

1- For multiple records

 using (var dbContext = new Chat_ServerEntities())
 {
     var allRec= dbContext.myEntities;
     dbContext.myEntities.RemoveRange(allRec);
     dbContext.SaveChanges();
 }

2- For Single record

 using (var dbContext = new Chat_ServerEntities())
 {
     var singleRec = dbContext.ChatUserConnections.FirstOrDefault( x => x.ID ==1);// object your want to delete
     dbContext.ChatUserConnections.Remove(singleRec);
     dbContext.SaveChanges();
 }

Pass a PHP string to a JavaScript variable (and escape newlines)

Where to change default pdf page width and font size in jspdf.debug.js?

Besides using one of the default formats you can specify any size you want in the unit you specify.

For example:

// Document of 210mm wide and 297mm high
new jsPDF('p', 'mm', [297, 210]);
// Document of 297mm wide and 210mm high
new jsPDF('l', 'mm', [297, 210]);
// Document of 5 inch width and 3 inch high
new jsPDF('l', 'in', [3, 5]);

The 3rd parameter of the constructor can take an array of the dimensions. However they do not correspond to width and height, instead they are long side and short side (or flipped around).

Your 1st parameter (landscape or portrait) determines what becomes the width and the height.

In the sourcecode on GitHub you can see the supported units (relative proportions to pt), and you can also see the default page formats (with their sizes in pt).

Plotting a python dict in order of key values

Simply pass the sorted items from the dictionary to the plot() function. concentration.items() returns a list of tuples where each tuple contains a key from the dictionary and its corresponding value.

You can take advantage of list unpacking (with *) to pass the sorted data directly to zip, and then again to pass it into plot():

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

concentration = {
    0: 0.19849878712984576,
    5000: 0.093917341754771386,
    10000: 0.075060643507712022,
    20000: 0.06673074282575861,
    30000: 0.057119318961966224,
    50000: 0.046134834546203485,
    100000: 0.032495766396631424,
    200000: 0.018536317451599615,
    500000: 0.0059499290585381479}

plt.plot(*zip(*sorted(concentration.items())))
plt.show()

sorted() sorts tuples in the order of the tuple's items so you don't need to specify a key function because the tuples returned by dict.item() already begin with the key value.

Python in Xcode 4+?

I've created Xcode 4 templates to simplify the steps provided by Tyler.
The result is Python Project Template for Xcode 4.

Now what you need to do is download the templates, move it to /Developer/Library/Xcode/Templates/Project Templates/Mac/Others/ and then new a Python project with Xcode 4.

It still needs manual Scheme setup (you can refer to steps 12–20 provided by Tyler.)

Style input type file?

Here's a simple css only solution, that creates a consistent target area, and lets you style your faux elements however you like.

The basic idea is this:

  1. Have two "fake" elements (a text input/link) as siblings to your real file input. Absolutely position them so they're exactly on top of your target area.
  2. Wrap your file input with a div. Set overflow to hidden (so the file input doesn't spill out), and make it exactly the size that you want your target area to be.
  3. Set opacity to 0 on the file input so it's hidden but still clickable. Give it a large font size so the you can click on all portions of the target area.

Here's the jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/gwwar/nFLKU/

<form>
    <input id="faux" type="text" placeholder="Upload a file from your computer" />
    <a href="#" id="browse">Browse </a>
    <div id="wrapper">
        <input id="input" size="100" type="file" />
    </div>
</form>

How can I add new dimensions to a Numpy array?

You could just create an array of the correct size up-front and fill it:

frames = np.empty((480, 640, 3, 100))

for k in xrange(nframes):
    frames[:,:,:,k] = cv2.imread('frame_{}.jpg'.format(k))

if the frames were individual jpg file that were named in some particular way (in the example, frame_0.jpg, frame_1.jpg, etc).

Just a note, you might consider using a (nframes, 480,640,3) shaped array, instead.

Placing border inside of div and not on its edge

Yahoo! This is really possible. I found it.

For Bottom Border:

div {box-shadow: 0px -3px 0px red inset; }

For Top Border:

div {box-shadow: 0px 3px 0px red inset; }

How to call a function after delay in Kotlin?

You can use Schedule

inline fun Timer.schedule(
    delay: Long, 
    crossinline action: TimerTask.() -> Unit
): TimerTask (source)

example (thanks @Nguyen Minh Binh - found it here: http://jamie.mccrindle.org/2013/02/exploring-kotlin-standard-library-part-3.html)

import java.util.Timer
import kotlin.concurrent.schedule

Timer("SettingUp", false).schedule(500) { 
   doSomething()
}

Set a persistent environment variable from cmd.exe

Indeed SET TEST_VARIABLE=value works for current process only, so SETX is required. A quick example for permanently storing an environment variable at user level.

  1. In cmd, SETX TEST_VARIABLE etc. Not applied yet (echo %TEST_VARIABLE% shows %TEST_VARIABLE%,
  2. Quick check: open cmd, echo %TEST_VARIABLE% shows etc.
  3. GUI check: System Properties -> Advanced -> Environment variables -> User variables for -> you should see Varible TEST_VARIABLE with value etc.

how to get list of port which are in use on the server

If you mean what ports are listening, you can open a command prompt and write:

How do you clear the focus in javascript?

.focus() and then .blur() something else arbitrary on your page. Since only one element can have the focus, it is transferred to that element and then removed.

How do I request a file but not save it with Wget?

You can use -O- (uppercase o) to redirect content to the stdout (standard output) or to a file (even special files like /dev/null /dev/stderr /dev/stdout )

wget -O- http://yourdomain.com

Or:

wget -O- http://yourdomain.com > /dev/null

Or: (same result as last command)

wget -O/dev/null http://yourdomain.com

ORA-12170: TNS:Connect timeout occurred

I was getting the same error while connecting my "hr" user of ORCLPDB which is a pluggable database.

First, get hostname and port number by typing a command lsnrctl status on windows command prompt. In my case, it was 127.0.0.1 with port number as 1521

Second, enter the below command with your hostname and port number: 

sqlplus username/password@HostName:Port Number/PluggableDatabaseName.

For example:

sqlplus hr/[email protected]:1521/ORCLPDB.

Include another JSP file

You can use Include Directives

<%
 if(request.getParameter("p")!=null)
 { 
   String p = request.getParameter("p");
%>    

<%@include file="<%="includes/" + p +".jsp"%>"%>

<% 
 }
%>

or JSP Include Action

<%
 if(request.getParameter("p")!=null)
 { 
   String p = request.getParameter("p");
%>    

<jsp:include page="<%="includes/"+p+".jsp"%>"/>

<% 
 }
%>

the different is include directive includes a file during the translation phase. while JSP Include Action includes a file at the time the page is requested

I recommend Spring MVC Framework as your controller to manipulate things. use url pattern instead of parameter.

Setting the correct encoding when piping stdout in Python

Your code works when run in an script because Python encodes the output to whatever encoding your terminal application is using. If you are piping you must encode it yourself.

A rule of thumb is: Always use Unicode internally. Decode what you receive, and encode what you send.

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
print u"åäö".encode('utf-8')

Another didactic example is a Python program to convert between ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8, making everything uppercase in between.

import sys
for line in sys.stdin:
    # Decode what you receive:
    line = line.decode('iso8859-1')

    # Work with Unicode internally:
    line = line.upper()

    # Encode what you send:
    line = line.encode('utf-8')
    sys.stdout.write(line)

Setting the system default encoding is a bad idea, because some modules and libraries you use can rely on the fact it is ASCII. Don't do it.

PreparedStatement with list of parameters in a IN clause

            if(i==1){
                where +="'"+i+"'";
            }
            if(i>1 && i<num.length)
                where+=", '"+i+"'";
            if(i==num.length){
                System.out.println("This is last number"+i);
            where+=", '"+i+"')";
            }
        }
        System.out.println(where);  
    }
}

document.createElement("script") synchronously

You can create your <script> element with an "onload" handler, and that will be called when the script has been loaded and evaluated by the browser.

var script = document.createElement('script');
script.onload = function() {
  alert("Script loaded and ready");
};
script.src = "http://whatever.com/the/script.js";
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(script);

You can't do it synchronously.

edit — it's been pointed out that, true to form, IE doesn't fire a "load" event on <script> tags being loaded/evaluated. Thus I suppose the next thing to do would be to fetch the script with an XMLHttpRequest and then eval() it yourself. (Or, I suppose, stuff the text into a <script> tag you add; the execution environment of eval() is affected by the local scope, so it won't necessarily do what you want it to do.)

edit — As of early 2013, I'd strongly advise looking into a more robust script loading tool like Requirejs. There are a lot of special cases to worry about. For really simple situations, there's yepnope, which is now built into Modernizr.

Encode String to UTF-8

String objects in Java use the UTF-16 encoding that can't be modified.

The only thing that can have a different encoding is a byte[]. So if you need UTF-8 data, then you need a byte[]. If you have a String that contains unexpected data, then the problem is at some earlier place that incorrectly converted some binary data to a String (i.e. it was using the wrong encoding).

Try-catch-finally-return clarification

Here is some code that show how it works.

class Test
{
    public static void main(String args[]) 
    { 
        System.out.println(Test.test()); 
    }

    public static String test()
    {
        try {
            System.out.println("try");
            throw new Exception();
        } catch(Exception e) {
            System.out.println("catch");
            return "return"; 
        } finally {  
            System.out.println("finally");
            return "return in finally"; 
        }
    }
}

The results is:

try
catch
finally
return in finally

How to Uninstall RVM?

It’s easy; just do the following:

rvm implode

or

rm -rf ~/.rvm

And don’t forget to remove the script calls in the following files:

  • ~/.bashrc
  • ~/.bash_profile
  • ~/.profile

And maybe others depending on whatever shell you’re using.

Docker "ERROR: could not find an available, non-overlapping IPv4 address pool among the defaults to assign to the network"

I ran into this issue on a corporate development VM which wasn't running OpenVPN. Checking out etc/docker/daemon.json, I found

...
"default-address-pools": [
  {
    "base": "192.168.11.0/24",
    "size": 24
  }
],
...

Strangely, removing the default-address-pools field and then restarting docker with sudo systemctl restart docker fixed the issue for me. I'm assuming this let docker choose a more suitable default, but I don't know what the problem was with the chosen default.

Calling one Bash script from another Script passing it arguments with quotes and spaces

You need to use : "$@" (WITH the quotes) or "${@}" (same, but also telling the shell where the variable name starts and ends).

(and do NOT use : $@, or "$*", or $*).

ex:

#testscript1:
echo "TestScript1 Arguments:"
for an_arg in "$@" ; do
   echo "${an_arg}"
done
echo "nb of args: $#"
./testscript2 "$@"   #invokes testscript2 with the same arguments we received

I'm not sure I understood your other requirement ( you want to invoke './testscript2' in single quotes?) so here are 2 wild guesses (changing the last line above) :

'./testscript2' "$@"  #only makes sense if "/path/to/testscript2" containes spaces?

./testscript2 '"some thing" "another"' "$var" "$var2"  #3 args to testscript2

Please give me the exact thing you are trying to do

edit: after his comment saying he attempts tesscript1 "$1" "$2" "$3" "$4" "$5" "$6" to run : salt 'remote host' cmd.run './testscript2 $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6'

You have many levels of intermediate: testscript1 on host 1, needs to run "salt", and give it a string launching "testscrit2" with arguments in quotes...

You could maybe "simplify" by having:

#testscript1

#we receive args, we generate a custom script simulating 'testscript2 "$@"'
theargs="'$1'"
shift
for i in "$@" ; do
   theargs="${theargs} '$i'"
done

salt 'remote host' cmd.run "./testscript2 ${theargs}"

if THAt doesn't work, then instead of running "testscript2 ${theargs}", replace THE LAST LINE above by

echo "./testscript2 ${theargs}" >/tmp/runtestscript2.$$  #generate custom script locally ($$ is current pid in bash/sh/...)
scp /tmp/runtestscript2.$$ user@remotehost:/tmp/runtestscript2.$$ #copy it to remotehost
salt 'remotehost' cmd.run "./runtestscript2.$$" #the args are inside the custom script!
ssh user@remotehost "rm /tmp/runtestscript2.$$" #delete the remote one
rm /tmp/runtestscript2.$$ #and the local one

Javascript Image Resize

Here is my cover fill solution (similar to background-size: cover, but it supports old IE browser)

<div class="imgContainer" style="height:100px; width:500px; overflow:hidden; background-color: black">
    <img src="http://dev.isaacsonwebdevelopment.com/sites/development/files/views-slideshow-settings-jquery-cycle-custom-options-message.png" id="imgCat">
</div>
<script src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.11.3.min.js"></script>
<script>
    $(window).load(function() {
        var heightRate =$("#imgCat").height() / $("#imgCat").parent(".imgContainer").height();
        var widthRate = $("#imgCat").width() / $("#imgCat").parent(".imgContainer").width();

        if (window.console) {
            console.log($("#imgCat").height());
            console.log(heightRate);
            console.log(widthRate);
            console.log(heightRate > widthRate);
        }
        if (heightRate <= widthRate) {
            $("#imgCat").height($("#imgCat").parent(".imgContainer").height());
        } else {
            $("#imgCat").width($("#imgCat").parent(".imgContainer").width());
        }
    });
</script>

What is the size of column of int(11) in mysql in bytes?

An INT will always be 4 bytes no matter what length is specified.

  • TINYINT = 1 byte (8 bit)
  • SMALLINT = 2 bytes (16 bit)
  • MEDIUMINT = 3 bytes (24 bit)
  • INT = 4 bytes (32 bit)
  • BIGINT = 8 bytes (64 bit).

The length just specifies how many characters to pad when selecting data with the mysql command line client. 12345 stored as int(3) will still show as 12345, but if it was stored as int(10) it would still display as 12345, but you would have the option to pad the first five digits. For example, if you added ZEROFILL it would display as 0000012345.

... and the maximum value will be 2147483647 (Signed) or 4294967295 (Unsigned)

        );
    }
}

How to save .xlsx data to file as a blob

The answer above is correct. Please be sure that you have a string data in base64 in the data variable without any prefix or stuff like that just raw data.

Here's what I did on the server side (asp.net mvc core):

string path = Path.Combine(folder, fileName);
Byte[] bytes = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(path);
string base64 = Convert.ToBase64String(bytes);

On the client side, I did the following code:

const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();

xhr.open("GET", url);
xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/plain");

xhr.onload = () => {
    var bin = atob(xhr.response);
    var ab = s2ab(bin); // from example above
    var blob = new Blob([ab], { type: 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet;' });

    var link = document.createElement('a');
    link.href = window.URL.createObjectURL(blob);
    link.download = 'demo.xlsx';

    document.body.appendChild(link);

    link.click();

    document.body.removeChild(link);
};

xhr.send();

And it works perfectly for me.

What is the default Precision and Scale for a Number in Oracle?

Oracle stores numbers in the following way: 1 byte for power, 1 byte for the first significand digit (that is one before the separator), the rest for the other digits.

By digits here Oracle means centesimal digits (i. e. base 100)

SQL> INSERT INTO t_numtest VALUES (LPAD('9', 125, '9'))
  2  /

1 row inserted

SQL> INSERT INTO t_numtest VALUES (LPAD('7', 125, '7'))
  2  /

1 row inserted

SQL> INSERT INTO t_numtest VALUES (LPAD('9', 126, '9'))
  2  /

INSERT INTO t_numtest VALUES (LPAD('9', 126, '9'))

ORA-01426: numeric overflow

SQL> SELECT DUMP(num) FROM t_numtest;

DUMP(NUM)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Typ=2 Len=2: 255,11
Typ=2 Len=21: 255,8,78,78,78,78,78,78,78,78,78,78,78,78,78,78,78,78,78,78,79

As we can see, the maximal number here is 7.(7) * 10^124, and he have 19 centesimal digits for precision, or 38 decimal digits.

Codeigniter - multiple database connections

It works fine for me...

This is default database :

$db['default'] = array(
    'dsn'   => '',
    'hostname' => 'localhost',
    'username' => 'root',
    'password' => '',
    'database' => 'mydatabase',
    'dbdriver' => 'mysqli',
    'dbprefix' => '',
    'pconnect' => TRUE,
    'db_debug' => (ENVIRONMENT !== 'production'),
    'cache_on' => FALSE,
    'cachedir' => '',
    'char_set' => 'utf8',
    'dbcollat' => 'utf8_general_ci',
    'swap_pre' => '',
    'encrypt' => FALSE,
    'compress' => FALSE,
    'stricton' => FALSE,
    'failover' => array(),
    'save_queries' => TRUE
);

Add another database at the bottom of database.php file

$db['second'] = array(
    'dsn'   => '',
    'hostname' => 'localhost',
    'username' => 'root',
    'password' => '',
    'database' => 'mysecond',
    'dbdriver' => 'mysqli',
    'dbprefix' => '',
    'pconnect' => TRUE,
    'db_debug' => (ENVIRONMENT !== 'production'),
    'cache_on' => FALSE,
    'cachedir' => '',
    'char_set' => 'utf8',
    'dbcollat' => 'utf8_general_ci',
    'swap_pre' => '',
    'encrypt' => FALSE,
    'compress' => FALSE,
    'stricton' => FALSE,
    'failover' => array(),
    'save_queries' => TRUE
);

In autoload.php config file

$autoload['libraries'] = array('database', 'email', 'session');

The default database is worked fine by autoload the database library but second database load and connect by using constructor in model and controller...

<?php
    class Seconddb_model extends CI_Model {
        function __construct(){
            parent::__construct();
            //load our second db and put in $db2
            $this->db2 = $this->load->database('second', TRUE);
        }

        public function getsecondUsers(){
            $query = $this->db2->get('members');
            return $query->result(); 
        }

    }
?>

What are the correct version numbers for C#?

^ - .NET 5.0 is not a newer version of .NET framework but .NET Core 3. Starting from .NET 5.0, there are no newer versions of .NET full framework.

^^ - There are no separate CLR (CoreCLR) versions for .NET Core. Whatever is the .NET Core version is the CoreCLR version. So not mentioning it.

Note: .NET development is pretty much independent of VS these days, there is no correlation between versions of each.
Refer to ".NET Framework versions and dependencies" for more.

Java Delegates?

The code described offers many of the advantages of C# delegates. Methods, either static or dynamic, can be treated in a uniform manner. The complexity in calling methods through reflection is reduced and the code is reusable, in the sense of requiring no additional classes in the user code. Note we are calling an alternate convenience version of invoke, where a method with one parameter can be called without creating an object array.Java code below:

  class Class1 {
        public void show(String s) { System.out.println(s); }
    }

    class Class2 {
        public void display(String s) { System.out.println(s); }
    }

    // allows static method as well
    class Class3 {
        public static void staticDisplay(String s) { System.out.println(s); }
    }

    public class TestDelegate  {
        public static final Class[] OUTPUT_ARGS = { String.class };
        public final Delegator DO_SHOW = new Delegator(OUTPUT_ARGS,Void.TYPE);

        public void main(String[] args)  {
            Delegate[] items = new Delegate[3];

            items[0] = DO_SHOW .build(new Class1(),"show,);
            items[1] = DO_SHOW.build (new Class2(),"display");
            items[2] = DO_SHOW.build(Class3.class, "staticDisplay");

            for(int i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
                items[i].invoke("Hello World");
            }
        }
    }

Find all files with a filename beginning with a specified string?

Use find with a wildcard:

find . -name 'mystring*'

Sending intent to BroadcastReceiver from adb

I had the same problem and found out that you have to escape spaces in the extra:

adb shell am broadcast -a com.whereismywifeserver.intent.TEST --es sms_body "test\ from\ adb"

So instead of "test from adb" it should be "test\ from\ adb"

Python Binomial Coefficient

Your program will continue with the second if statement in the case of y == x, causing a ZeroDivisionError. You need to make the statements mutually exclusive; the way to do that is to use elif ("else if") instead of if:

import math
x = int(input("Enter a value for x: "))
y = int(input("Enter a value for y: "))
if y == x:
    print(1)
elif y == 1:         # see georg's comment
    print(x)
elif y > x:          # will be executed only if y != 1 and y != x
    print(0)
else:                # will be executed only if y != 1 and y != x and x <= y
    a = math.factorial(x)
    b = math.factorial(y)
    c = math.factorial(x-y)  # that appears to be useful to get the correct result
    div = a // (b * c)
    print(div)

Regex (grep) for multi-line search needed

Without the need to install the grep variant pcregrep, you can do multiline search with grep.

$ grep -Pzo "(?s)^(\s*)\N*main.*?{.*?^\1}" *.c

Explanation:

-P activate perl-regexp for grep (a powerful extension of regular expressions)

-z suppress newline at the end of line, substituting it for null character. That is, grep knows where end of line is, but sees the input as one big line.

-o print only matching. Because we're using -z, the whole file is like a single big line, so if there is a match, the entire file would be printed; this way it won't do that.

In regexp:

(?s) activate PCRE_DOTALL, which means that . finds any character or newline

\N find anything except newline, even with PCRE_DOTALL activated

.*? find . in non-greedy mode, that is, stops as soon as possible.

^ find start of line

\1 backreference to the first group (\s*). This is a try to find the same indentation of method.

As you can imagine, this search prints the main method in a C (*.c) source file.

Getting Gradle dependencies in IntelliJ IDEA using Gradle build

How do I set up Vim autoindentation properly for editing Python files?

A simpler option: just uncomment the following part of the configuration (which is originally commented out) in the /etc/vim/vimrc file:

    if has("autocmd")
      filetype plugin indent on
    endif

How do I remove blank pages coming between two chapters in Appendix?

If you specify the option 'openany' in the \documentclass declaration each chapter in the book (I'm guessing you're using the book class as chapters open on the next page in reports and articles don't have chapters) will open on a new page, not necessarily the next odd-numbered page.

Of course, that's not quite what you want. I think you want to set openany for chapters in the appendix. 'fraid I don't know how to do that, I suspect that you need to roll up your sleeves and wrestle with TeX itself

Back button and refreshing previous activity

One option would be to use the onResume of your first activity.

@Override
public void onResume()
    {  // After a pause OR at startup
    super.onResume();
    //Refresh your stuff here
     }

Or you can start Activity for Result:

Intent i = new Intent(this, SecondActivity.class);
startActivityForResult(i, 1);

In secondActivity if you want to send back data:

 Intent returnIntent = new Intent();
 returnIntent.putExtra("result",result);
 setResult(RESULT_OK,returnIntent);     
 finish();

if you don't want to return data:

Intent returnIntent = new Intent();
setResult(RESULT_CANCELED, returnIntent);        
finish();

Now in your FirstActivity class write following code for onActivityResult() method

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {

  if (requestCode == 1) {

     if(resultCode == RESULT_OK){      
         //Update List         
     }
     if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED) {    
         //Do nothing?
     }
  }
}//onActivityResult

XAMPP Port 80 in use by "Unable to open process" with PID 4

So I have faced the same problem when trying to start apache service and I would like to share my solutions with you. Here is some notes about services or programs that may use port 80:

  1. Skype: skype uses port 80/443 by default. You can change this from tools->options-> advanced->connections and disable checkbox "use port 80 and 443 for addtional incoming connections".
  2. IIS: IIS uses port 80 be default so you need to shut down it. You can use the following two commands net stop w3svc net stop iisadmin
  3. SQL Server Reporting Service: You need to stop this service because it may take port 80 if IIS is not running. Go to local services and stop it.

These options work great with me and I can start apache service without errors.

The other option is to change apache listen port from httpd.conf and set another port number.

Hope this solution helps anyone who face the same problem again.

When are you supposed to use escape instead of encodeURI / encodeURIComponent?

I found this article enlightening : Javascript Madness: Query String Parsing

I found it when I was trying to undersand why decodeURIComponent was not decoding '+' correctly. Here is an extract:

String:                         "A + B"
Expected Query String Encoding: "A+%2B+B"
escape("A + B") =               "A%20+%20B"     Wrong!
encodeURI("A + B") =            "A%20+%20B"     Wrong!
encodeURIComponent("A + B") =   "A%20%2B%20B"   Acceptable, but strange

Encoded String:                 "A+%2B+B"
Expected Decoding:              "A + B"
unescape("A+%2B+B") =           "A+++B"       Wrong!
decodeURI("A+%2B+B") =          "A+++B"       Wrong!
decodeURIComponent("A+%2B+B") = "A+++B"       Wrong!

How to default to other directory instead of home directory

(Please read warning below)

Really simple way to do this in Windows (works with git bash, possibly others) is to create an environmental variable called HOME that points to your desired home directory.

  1. Right click on my computer, and choose properties
  2. Choose advanced system settings (location varies by Windows version)
  3. Within system properties, choose the advanced tab
  4. On the advanced tab, choose Environmental Variables (bottom button)
  5. Under "system variable" check to see if you already have a variable called HOME. If so, edit that variable by highlighting the variable name and clicking edit. Make the new variable name the desired path.
  6. If HOME does not already exist, click "new" under system variables and create a new variable called HOME whose value is desired path.

Environmental Variable

NOTE: This may change the way other things work. For example, for me it changes where my .ssh config files live. In my case, I wanted my home to be U:\, because that's my main place that I put project work and application settings (i.e. it really is my "home" directory).

EDIT June 23, 2017: This answer continues to get occasional upvotes, and I want to warn people that although this may "work", I agree with @AnthonyRaymond that it's not recommended. This is more of a temporary fix or a fix if you don't care if other things break. Changing your home won't cause active damage (like deleting your hard drive) but it's likely to cause insidious annoyances later. When you do start to have annoying problems down the road, you probably won't remember this change... so you're likely to be scratching your head later on!

How do you POST to a page using the PHP header() function?

 
private function sendHttpRequest($host, $path, $query, $port=80){
    header("POST $path HTTP/1.1\r\n" );
    header("Host: $host\r\n" );
    header("Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n" );
    header("Content-length: " . strlen($query) . "\r\n" );
    header("Connection: close\r\n\r\n" );
    header($query);
}

This will get you right away

Eclipse CDT: no rule to make target all

Sometimes if you are making a target via make files double check that all c files are named correctly with correct file structure.

Append lines to a file using a StreamWriter

I assume you are executing all of the above code each time you write something to the file. Each time the stream for the file is opened, its seek pointer is positioned at the beginning so all writes end up overwriting what was there before.

You can solve the problem in two ways: either with the convenient 

file2 = new StreamWriter("c:/file.txt", true);

or by explicitly repositioning the stream pointer yourself:

file2 = new StreamWriter("c:/file.txt");
file2.BaseStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.End);

Why do I get PLS-00302: component must be declared when it exists?

What should every programmer know about security?

Rule #1 of security for programmers: Don't roll your own

Unless you are yourself a security expert and/or cryptographer, always use a well-designed, well-tested, and mature security platform, framework, or library to do the work for you. These things have spent years being thought out, patched, updated, and examined by experts and hackers alike. You want to gain those advantages, not dismiss them by trying to reinvent the wheel.

Now, that's not to say you don't need to learn anything about security. You certainly need to know enough to understand what you're doing and make sure you're using the tools correctly. However, if you ever find yourself about to start writing your own cryptography algorithm, authentication system, input sanitizer, etc, stop, take a step back, and remember rule #1.

How to wait until WebBrowser is completely loaded in VB.NET?

Hold on...

From my experience, you SHOULD make sure that the DocumCompleted belongs to YOUR URL and not to a frame sub-page, script, image, CSS, etc. And that is regardless of the IsBusy or the ReadyState is finished or not, which both are often inaccurate when page is slightly complex.

Well, that is my own personal experience, on a working program of VB.2013 and IE11. Let me also mention that you should take into account also the compatibility mode IE7 which is ON by default at the webBrowser1.

' Page, sub-frame or resource was totally loaded.
Private Sub webBrowser1_DocumentCompleted(sender As Object, _ 
    e As WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs) _ 
    Handles webBrowser1.DocumentCompleted

    ' Check if finally the full page was loaded (inc. sub-frames, javascripts, etc)
    If e.Url.ToString = webBrowser1.Url.ToString Then
        ' Only now you are sure!
        fullyLoaded = True
    End If

End Sub

Formula to determine brightness of RGB color

To determine the brightness of a color with R, I convert the RGB system color in HSV system color.

In my script, I use the HEX system code before for other reason, but you can start also with RGB system code with rgb2hsv {grDevices}. The documentation is here.

Here is this part of my code:

 sample <- c("#010101", "#303030", "#A6A4A4", "#020202", "#010100")
 hsvc <-rgb2hsv(col2rgb(sample)) # convert HEX to HSV
 value <- as.data.frame(hsvc) # create data.frame
 value <- value[3,] # extract the information of brightness
 order(value) # ordrer the color by brightness

Check if string matches pattern

Please try the following:

import re

name = ["A1B1", "djdd", "B2C4", "C2H2", "jdoi","1A4V"]

# Match names.
for element in name:
     m = re.match("(^[A-Z]\d[A-Z]\d)", element)
     if m:
        print(m.groups())

IMP SYSTEM/systempassword@ORA_alias FILE=user.DMP FROMUSER=user TOUSER=user GRANTS=Y log =user.log

Be carefull if you will import from one user to another. For example if you have user named user1 and you will import to user2 you may lost all grants , so you have to recreate it.

How to install and run phpize

If you're having problems with phpize not found on CentOS7.x after you have installed the relevant devel tools for your version/s of PHP, this path finally worked for me:

For PHP 7.2.x

/opt/cpanel/ea-php72/root/usr/bin/phpize

For PHP 7.3.x

/opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root/usr/bin/phpize

For PHP 7.4.x

/opt/cpanel/ea-php74/root/usr/bin/phpize

Run this in your folder containing the downloaded PHP extension, for example in line 3 below:

Example based on installing the PHP v7.3.x Brotli Extension from https://github.com/kjdev/php-ext-brotli

git clone --recursive --depth=1 https://github.com/kjdev/php-ext-brotli.git
cd /php-ext-brotli
/opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root/usr/bin/phpize
./configure --with-php-config=/opt/cpanel/ea-php73/root/usr/bin/php-config

Any good boolean expression simplifiers out there?

Try Logic Friday 1 It includes tools from the Univerity of California (Espresso and misII) and makes them usable with a GUI. You can enter boolean equations and truth tables as desired. It also features a graphical gate diagram input and output.

The minimization can be carried out two-level or multi-level. The two-level form yields a minimized sum of products. The multi-level form creates a circuit composed out of logical gates. The types of gates can be restricted by the user.

Your expression simplifies to C.

Git detects renames rather than persisting the operation with the commit, so whether you use git mv or mv doesn't matter.

The log command takes a --follow argument that continues history before a rename operation, i.e., it searches for similar content using the heuristics:

http://git-scm.com/docs/git-log

To lookup the full history, use the following command:

git log --follow ./path/to/file

var.replace is not a function

Did you call your function properly? Ie. is the thing you pass as as a parameter really a string?

Otherwise, I don't see a problem with your code - the example below works as expected

function trim(str) {
    return str.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g,'');
}


trim('    hello   ');  // --> 'hello'

However, if you call your functoin with something non-string, you will indeed get the error above:

trim({});  // --> TypeError: str.replace is not a function

Where is Java's Array indexOf?

Array has no indexOf() method.

Maybe this Apache Commons Lang ArrayUtils method is what you are looking for

import org.apache.commons.lang3.ArrayUtils;

String[] colours = { "Red", "Orange", "Yellow", "Green" };

int indexOfYellow = ArrayUtils.indexOf(colours, "Yellow");

Generate a sequence of numbers in Python

Assuming your sequence alternates increments between 1 and 3

numbers = [1]
while numbers[-1] < 100:
    numbers.append(numbers[-1] + 1)
    numbers.append(numbers[-1] + 3)

print ', '.join(map(str, numbers))

This could be easier to modify if your sequence is different but I think poke or BlaXpirit are nicer answers than mine.

Express.js Response Timeout

Before you set your routes, add the code:

app.all('*', function(req, res, next) {
    setTimeout(function() {
        next();
    }, 120000); // 120 seconds
});

Which terminal command to get just IP address and nothing else?

Generally, it is never guaranteed that a system will only have one IP address, for example, you can have both an ethernet and wlan connections, and if you have an active VPN connection then you'll have yet another IP address.

Linux

On Linux, hostname -I will list the current IP address(es). Relying on it always returning just one IP address will most likely not work as expected under some scenarios (i.e. a VPN link is up, multiple ethernet adapters, etc), so a more reliable way would be converting the result to an array and then loop over the elements:

ips=($(hostname -I))

for ip in "${ips[@]}"
do
    echo $ip
done

Note: If hostname -I returns the IP both in IPv4 and IPv6 formats then you can use instead hostname -I | cut -f1 -d' ' to only show the IPv4 IP.

OSX

On OSX, if you know the interface, you could use:

~$ ipconfig getifaddr en0
192.168.1.123

which will return just the IP address.

Or you could loop over possible interface names, starting with a suffix, i.e. en:

for NUMBER in $(seq 0 5); do
    ip=`ipconfig getifaddr en$NUMBER`
    if [ -n "$ip" ]; then
        myip="$ip"
        break
    fi
done

echo $myip

Also, getting the IP address becomes non-deterministic in case both a cable and wifi connections are established, when a machine has more than one ethernet interfaces, or when VPN tunnels are up.

Getting the external IP

If you need the external IP, then you can query a text-mode service, for example curl https://ipecho.net/plain would return a plain text external IP.

A faster alternative is to query a known DNS server, e.g.:

dig @ns1-1.akamaitech.net ANY whoami.akamai.net +short

Text file with 0D 0D 0A line breaks

Just saying, this is also the value (kind of...) that is returned from php upon:

<?php var_dump(urlencode(PHP_EOL)); ?> 
    // Prints: string '%0D%0A' (length=6)-- used in 5.4.24 at least

Is it valid to define functions in JSON results?

Let's quote one of the spec's - http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7159#section-12

The The JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) Data Interchange Format Specification states:

JSON is a subset of JavaScript but excludes assignment and invocation.

Since JSON's syntax is borrowed from JavaScript, it is possible to use that language's "eval()" function to parse JSON texts. This generally constitutes an unacceptable security risk, since the text
could contain executable code along with data declarations. The same consideration applies to the use of eval()-like functions in any other programming language in which JSON texts conform to that
language's syntax.

So all answers which state, that functions are not part of the JSON standard are correct.

The official answer is: No, it is not valid to define functions in JSON results!

The answer could be yes, because "code is data" and "data is code". Even if JSON is used as a language independent data serialization format, a tunneling of "code" through other types will work.

A JSON string might be used to pass a JS function to the client-side browser for execution.

[{"data":[["1","2"],["3","4"]],"aFunction":"function(){return \"foo bar\";}"}]

This leads to question's like: How to "Execute JavaScript code stored as a string".

Be prepared, to raise your "eval() is evil" flag and stick your "do not tunnel functions through JSON" flag next to it.

Where to download Microsoft Visual c++ 2003 redistributable

Storm's answer is not correct. No hard feelings Storm, and apologies to the OP as I'm a bit late to the party here (wish I could have helped sooner, but I didn't run into the problem until today, or this stack overflow answer until I was figuring out a solution.)

The Visual C++ 2003 runtime was not available as a seperate download because it was included with the .NET 1.1 runtime.

If you install the .NET 1.1 runtime you will get msvcr71.dll installed, and in addition added to C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322.

The .NET 1.1 runtime is available here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=262d25e3-f589-4842-8157-034d1e7cf3a3&displaylang=en (23.1 MB)

If you are looking for a file that ends with a "P" such as msvcp71.dll, this indicates that your file was compiled against a C++ runtime (as opposed to a C runtime), in some situations I noticed these files were only installed when I installed the full SDK. If you need one of these files, you may need to install the full .NET 1.1 SDK as well, which is available here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=9b3a2ca6-3647-4070-9f41-a333c6b9181d (106.2 MB)

After installing the SDK I now have both msvcr71.dll and msvcp71.dll in my System32 folder, and the application I'm trying to run (boomerang c++ decompiler) works fine without any missing DLL errors.

Also on a side note: be VERY aware of the difference between a Hotfix Update and a Regular Update. As noted in the linked KB932298 download (linked below by Storm): "Please be aware this Hotfix has not gone through full Microsoft product regression testing nor has it been tested in combination with other Hotfixes."

Hotfixes are NOT meant for general users, but rather users who are facing a very specific problem. As described in the article only install that Hotfix if you are have having specific daylight savings time issues with the rules that changed in 2007. -- Likely this was a pre-release for customers who "just couldn't wait" for the official update (probably for some business critical application) -- for regular users Windows Update should be all you need.

Thanks, and I hope this helps others who run into this issue!

How can I import a large (14 GB) MySQL dump file into a new MySQL database?

I have made a PHP script which is designed to import large database dumps which have been generated by phpmyadmin or mysql dump (from cpanel) . It's called PETMI and you can download it here [project page] [gitlab page].

It works by splitting an. sql file into smaller files called a split and processing each split one at a time. Splits which fail to process can be processed manually by the user in phpmyadmin. This can be easily programmed as in sql dumps, each command is on a new line. Some things in sql dumps work in phpmyadmin imports but not in mysqli_query so those lines have been stripped from the splits.

It has been tested with a 1GB database. It has to be uploaded to an existing website. PETMI is open source and the sample code can be seen on Gitlab.

A moderator asked me to provide some sample code. I'm on a phone so excuse the formatting.

Here is the code that creates the splits.

                 //gets the config page
                  if (isset($_POST['register']) && $_POST['register'])
                {
                 echo " <img src=\"loading.gif\">";
        $folder = "split/";
        include ("config.php");
        
        $fh = fopen("importme.sql", 'a') or die("can't open file");
        $stringData = "-- --------------------------------------------------------";
        fwrite($fh, $stringData);
        fclose($fh);
        
        
        $file2 = fopen("importme.sql","r");
        
        //echo "<br><textarea class=\"mediumtext\" style=\"width: 500px; height: 200px;\">";
        $danumber = "1";
        while(! feof($file2)){
            //echo fgets($file2)."<!-- <br /><hr color=\"red\" size=\"15\"> -->"; 
            $oneline = fgets($file2); //this is fgets($file2) but formatted nicely
            //echo "<br>$oneline";
            
            $findme1  = '-- --------------------------------------------------------';
            $pos1 = strpos($oneline, $findme1);
            $findme2  = '-- Table structure for';
            $pos2 = strpos($oneline, $findme2);
            $findme3  = '-- Dumping data for';
            $pos3 = strpos($oneline, $findme3);
            $findme4  = '-- Indexes for dumped tables';
            $pos4 = strpos($oneline, $findme4);
            $findme5  = '-- AUTO_INCREMENT for dumped tables';
            $pos5 = strpos($oneline, $findme5);
            if ($pos1 === false && $pos2 === false && $pos3 === false && $pos4 === false && $pos5 === false) {

                // setcookie("filenumber",$i);
                // if ($danumber2 == ""){$danumber2 = "0";} else { $danumber2 = $danumber2 +1;}                 
                $ourFileName = "split/sql-split-$danumber.sql";
                // echo "writing danumber is $danumber";
                $ourFileHandle = fopen($ourFileName, 'a') or die("can't edit file. chmod directory to 777");

                $stringData = $oneline;
                $stringData = preg_replace("/\/[*][!\d\sA-Za-z@_='+:,]*[*][\/][;]/", "", $stringData);
                $stringData = preg_replace("/\/[*][!]*[\d A-Za-z`]*[*]\/[;]/", "", $stringData);
                $stringData = preg_replace("/DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `[a-zA-Z]*`;/", "", $stringData);
                $stringData = preg_replace("/LOCK TABLES `[a-zA-Z` ;]*/", "", $stringData);
                $stringData = preg_replace("/UNLOCK TABLES;/", "", $stringData);

                fwrite($ourFileHandle, $stringData);
                fclose($ourFileHandle);
            
            } else {
                    //write new file;
                    if ($danumber == ""){$danumber = "1";} else { $danumber = $danumber +1;}
                    $ourFileName = "split/sql-split-$danumber.sql"; 
                    //echo "$ourFileName has been written with the contents above.\n";
                    
                    $ourFileName = "split/sql-split-$danumber.sql";
                    $ourFileHandle = fopen($ourFileName, 'a') or die("can't edit file. chmod directory to 777");
                    $stringData = "$oneline";
                    fwrite($ourFileHandle, $stringData);
                    fclose($ourFileHandle);
            }
        }
        //echo "</textarea>";
        
    
    fclose($file2);

Include CSS and Javascript in my django template

Read this https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/static-files/:

For local development, if you are using runserver or adding staticfiles_urlpatterns to your URLconf, you’re done with the setup – your static files will automatically be served at the default (for newly created projects) STATIC_URL of /static/.

And try:

~/tmp$ django-admin.py startproject myprj
~/tmp$ cd myprj/
~/tmp/myprj$ chmod a+x manage.py
~/tmp/myprj$ ./manage.py startapp myapp

Then add 'myapp' to INSTALLED_APPS (myprj/settings.py).

~/tmp/myprj$ cd myapp/
~/tmp/myprj/myapp$ mkdir static
~/tmp/myprj/myapp$ echo 'alert("hello!");' > static/hello.js
~/tmp/myprj/myapp$ mkdir templates
~/tmp/myprj/myapp$ echo '<script src="{{ STATIC_URL }}hello.js"></script>' > templates/hello.html

Edit myprj/urls.py:

from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
from django.views.generic import TemplateView

class HelloView(TemplateView):
    template_name = "hello.html"

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^$', HelloView.as_view(), name='hello'),
)

And run it:

~/tmp/myprj/myapp$ cd ..
~/tmp/myprj$ ./manage.py runserver

It works!

How to programmatically connect a client to a WCF service?

You can also do what the "Service Reference" generated code does

public class ServiceXClient : ClientBase<IServiceX>, IServiceX
{
    public ServiceXClient() { }

    public ServiceXClient(string endpointConfigurationName) :
        base(endpointConfigurationName) { }

    public ServiceXClient(string endpointConfigurationName, string remoteAddress) :
        base(endpointConfigurationName, remoteAddress) { }

    public ServiceXClient(string endpointConfigurationName, EndpointAddress remoteAddress) :
        base(endpointConfigurationName, remoteAddress) { }

    public ServiceXClient(Binding binding, EndpointAddress remoteAddress) :
        base(binding, remoteAddress) { }

    public bool ServiceXWork(string data, string otherParam)
    {
        return base.Channel.ServiceXWork(data, otherParam);
    }
}

Where IServiceX is your WCF Service Contract

Then your client code:

var client = new ServiceXClient(new WSHttpBinding(SecurityMode.None), new EndpointAddress("http://localhost:911"));
client.ServiceXWork("data param", "otherParam param");

int value under 10 convert to string two digit number

I can't believe nobody suggested this:

int i = 9;
i.ToString("D2"); // Will give you the string "09"

or

i.ToString("D8"); // Will give you the string "00000009"

If you want hexadecimal:

byte b = 255;
b.ToString("X2"); // Will give you the string "FF"

You can even use just "C" to display as currency if you locale currency symbol. See here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.int32.tostring?view=netframework-4.7.2#System_Int32_ToString_System_String_

What is the purpose and use of **kwargs?

Here's a simple function that serves to explain the usage:

def print_wrap(arg1, *args, **kwargs):
    print(arg1)
    print(args)
    print(kwargs)
    print(arg1, *args, **kwargs)

Any arguments that are not specified in the function definition will be put in the args list, or the kwargs list, depending on whether they are keyword arguments or not:

>>> print_wrap('one', 'two', 'three', end='blah', sep='--')
one
('two', 'three')
{'end': 'blah', 'sep': '--'}
one--two--threeblah

If you add a keyword argument that never gets passed to a function, an error will be raised:

>>> print_wrap('blah', dead_arg='anything')
TypeError: 'dead_arg' is an invalid keyword argument for this function

Comparing two NumPy arrays for equality, element-wise

 
(A==B).all()

test if all values of array (A==B) are True.

Note: maybe you also want to test A and B shape, such as A.shape == B.shape

Special cases and alternatives (from dbaupp's answer and yoavram's comment)

It should be noted that:

  • this solution can have a strange behavior in a particular case: if either A or B is empty and the other one contains a single element, then it return True. For some reason, the comparison A==B returns an empty array, for which the all operator returns True.
  • Another risk is if A and B don't have the same shape and aren't broadcastable, then this approach will raise an error.

In conclusion, if you have a doubt about A and B shape or simply want to be safe: use one of the specialized functions:

np.array_equal(A,B)  # test if same shape, same elements values
np.array_equiv(A,B)  # test if broadcastable shape, same elements values
np.allclose(A,B,...) # test if same shape, elements have close enough values

What causes the Broken Pipe Error?

The current state of a socket is determined by 'keep-alive' activity. In your case, this is possible that when you are issuing the send call, the keep-alive activity tells that the socket is active and so the send call will write the required data (40 bytes) in to the buffer and returns without giving any error.

When you are sending a bigger chunk, the send call goes in to blocking state.

The send man page also confirms this:

When the message does not fit into the send buffer of the socket, send() normally blocks, unless the socket has been placed in non-blocking I/O mode. In non-blocking mode it would return EAGAIN in this case

So, while blocking for the free available buffer, if the caller is notified (by keep-alive mechanism) that the other end is no more present, the send call will fail.

Predicting the exact scenario is difficult with the mentioned info, but I believe, this should be the reason for you problem.

What does the Java assert keyword do, and when should it be used?

Assertions are a development-phase tool to catch bugs in your code. They're designed to be easily removed, so they won't exist in production code. So assertions are not part of the "solution" that you deliver to the customer. They're internal checks to make sure that the assumptions you're making are correct. The most common example is to test for null. Many methods are written like this:

void doSomething(Widget widget) {
  if (widget != null) {
    widget.someMethod(); // ...
    ... // do more stuff with this widget
  }
}

Very often in a method like this, the widget should simply never be null. So if it's null, there's a bug in your code somewhere that you need to track down. But the code above will never tell you this. So in a well-intentioned effort to write "safe" code, you're also hiding a bug. It's much better to write code like this:

/**
 * @param Widget widget Should never be null
 */
void doSomething(Widget widget) {
  assert widget != null;
  widget.someMethod(); // ...
    ... // do more stuff with this widget
}

This way, you will be sure to catch this bug early. (It's also useful to specify in the contract that this parameter should never be null.) Be sure to turn assertions on when you test your code during development. (And persuading your colleagues to do this, too is often difficult, which I find very annoying.)

Now, some of your colleagues will object to this code, arguing that you should still put in the null check to prevent an exception in production. In that case, the assertion is still useful. You can write it like this: 

void doSomething(Widget widget) {
  assert widget != null;
  if (widget != null) {
    widget.someMethod(); // ...
    ... // do more stuff with this widget
  }
}

This way, your colleagues will be happy that the null check is there for production code, but during development, you're no longer hiding the bug when widget is null.

Here's a real-world example: I once wrote a method that compared two arbitrary values for equality, where either value could be null:

/**
 * Compare two values using equals(), after checking for null.
 * @param thisValue (may be null)
 * @param otherValue (may be null)
 * @return True if they are both null or if equals() returns true
 */
public static boolean compare(final Object thisValue, final Object otherValue) {
  boolean result;
  if (thisValue == null) {
    result = otherValue == null;
  } else {
    result = thisValue.equals(otherValue);
  }
  return result;
}

This code delegates the work of the equals() method in the case where thisValue is not null. But it assumes the equals() method correctly fulfills the contract of equals() by properly handling a null parameter.

A colleague objected to my code, telling me that many of our classes have buggy equals() methods that don't test for null, so I should put that check into this method. It's debatable if this is wise, or if we should force the error, so we can spot it and fix it, but I deferred to my colleague and put in a null check, which I've marked with a comment:

public static boolean compare(final Object thisValue, final Object otherValue) {
  boolean result;
  if (thisValue == null) {
    result = otherValue == null;
  } else {
    result = otherValue != null && thisValue.equals(otherValue); // questionable null check
  }
  return result;
}

The additional check here, other != null, is only necessary if the equals() method fails to check for null as required by its contract.

Rather than engage in a fruitless debate with my colleague about the wisdom of letting the buggy code stay in our code base, I simply put two assertions in the code. These assertions will let me know, during the development phase, if one of our classes fails to implement equals() properly, so I can fix it:

public static boolean compare(final Object thisValue, final Object otherValue) {
  boolean result;
  if (thisValue == null) {
    result = otherValue == null;
    assert otherValue == null || otherValue.equals(null) == false;
  } else {
    result = otherValue != null && thisValue.equals(otherValue);
    assert thisValue.equals(null) == false;
  }
  return result;
}

The important points to keep in mind are these:

  1. Assertions are development-phase tools only.

  2. The point of an assertion is to let you know if there's a bug, not just in your code, but in your code base. (The assertions here will actually flag bugs in other classes.)

  3. Even if my colleague was confident that our classes were properly written, the assertions here would still be useful. New classes will be added that might fail to test for null, and this method can flag those bugs for us.

  4. In development, you should always turn assertions on, even if the code you've written doesn't use assertions. My IDE is set to always do this by default for any new executable.

  5. The assertions don't change the behavior of the code in production, so my colleague is happy that the null check is there, and that this method will execute properly even if the equals() method is buggy. I'm happy because I will catch any buggy equals() method in development.

Also, you should test your assertion policy by putting in a temporary assertion that will fail, so you can be certain that you are notified, either through the log file or a stack trace in the output stream.

Deleting rows from parent and child tables

If the children have FKs linking them to the parent, then you can use DELETE CASCADE on the parent.

e.g.

CREATE TABLE supplier 
( supplier_id numeric(10) not null, 
 supplier_name varchar2(50) not null, 
 contact_name varchar2(50),  
 CONSTRAINT supplier_pk PRIMARY KEY (supplier_id) 
); 



CREATE TABLE products 
( product_id numeric(10) not null, 
 supplier_id numeric(10) not null, 
 CONSTRAINT fk_supplier 
   FOREIGN KEY (supplier_id) 
  REFERENCES supplier(supplier_id) 
  ON DELETE CASCADE 
);

Delete the supplier, and it will delate all products for that supplier

C++ Dynamic Shared Library on Linux

Basically, you should include the class' header file in the code where you want to use the class in the shared library. Then, when you link, use the '-l' flag to link your code with the shared library. Of course, this requires the .so to be where the OS can find it. See 3.5. Installing and Using a Shared Library

Using dlsym is for when you don't know at compile time which library you want to use. That doesn't sound like it's the case here. Maybe the confusion is that Windows calls the dynamically loaded libraries whether you do the linking at compile or run-time (with analogous methods)? If so, then you can think of dlsym as the equivalent of LoadLibrary.

If you really do need to dynamically load the libraries (i.e., they're plug-ins), then this FAQ should help.

How do I use the built in password reset/change views with my own templates

I was using this two lines in the url and the template from the admin what i was changing to my need

Measuring elapsed time with the Time module

For the best measure of elapsed time (since Python 3.3), use time.perf_counter().

Return the value (in fractional seconds) of a performance counter, i.e. a clock with the highest available resolution to measure a short duration. It does include time elapsed during sleep and is system-wide. The reference point of the returned value is undefined, so that only the difference between the results of consecutive calls is valid.

For measurements on the order of hours/days, you don't care about sub-second resolution so use time.monotonic() instead.

Return the value (in fractional seconds) of a monotonic clock, i.e. a clock that cannot go backwards. The clock is not affected by system clock updates. The reference point of the returned value is undefined, so that only the difference between the results of consecutive calls is valid.

In many implementations, these may actually be the same thing.

Before 3.3, you're stuck with time.clock().

On Unix, return the current processor time as a floating point number expressed in seconds. The precision, and in fact the very definition of the meaning of “processor time”, depends on that of the C function of the same name.

On Windows, this function returns wall-clock seconds elapsed since the first call to this function, as a floating point number, based on the Win32 function QueryPerformanceCounter(). The resolution is typically better than one microsecond.

Update for Python 3.7

New in Python 3.7 is PEP 564 -- Add new time functions with nanosecond resolution.

Use of these can further eliminate rounding and floating-point errors, especially if you're measuring very short periods, or your application (or Windows machine) is long-running.

Resolution starts breaking down on perf_counter() after around 100 days. So for example after a year of uptime, the shortest interval (greater than 0) it can measure will be bigger than when it started.

Update for Python 3.8

time.clock is now gone.

Could not find any resources appropriate for the specified culture or the neutral culture

When I tried sharing a resource.resx file from one C# project with another C# project, I got this problem. The suggestion on moving the Form class to the beginning of its file wasn't appropriate. This is how I solved it. You essentially use a link from the second project to the first, then enable regeneration of the resource.designer.cs file.

  1. Delete the second project's Properties/Resources.resx file
  2. Add the first project's Properties/Resources.resx file as a LINK to the Properties folder in the second project. Don't add it to the root level of the project.
  3. Don't add the first project's Properties/Resources.designer.cs!
  4. On the properties of the second project's Resources.resx, add ResXFileCodeGenerator as the CustomTool
  5. Right click on the Resources.resx and select "Run Custom Tool". This will generate a new designer.cs file.

Note: I would avoid editing the resource.designer.cs file, as this is autogenerated.

Python requests library how to pass Authorization header with single token

I was looking for something similar and came across this. It looks like in the first option you mentioned

r = requests.get('<MY_URI>', auth=('<MY_TOKEN>'))

"auth" takes two parameters: username and password, so the actual statement should be

r=requests.get('<MY_URI>', auth=('<YOUR_USERNAME>', '<YOUR_PASSWORD>'))

In my case, there was no password, so I left the second parameter in auth field empty as shown below:

r=requests.get('<MY_URI', auth=('MY_USERNAME', ''))

Hope this helps somebody :)

Tomcat Servlet: Error 404 - The requested resource is not available

For those stuck with "The requested resource is not available" in Java EE 7 and dynamic web module 3.x, maybe this could help: the "Create Servlet" wizard in Eclipse (tested in Mars) doesn't create the @Path annotation for the servlet class, but I had to include it to access successfuly to the public methods exposed.

When restoring a backup, how do I disconnect all active connections?

Restarting SQL server will disconnect users. Easiest way I've found - good also if you want to take the server offline.

But for some very wierd reason the 'Take Offline' option doesn't do this reliably and can hang or confuse the management console. Restarting then taking offline works

Sometimes this is an option - if for instance you've stopped a webserver that is the source of the connections.

Gradle version 2.2 is required. Current version is 2.10

The android studio and Gradle version looks like very bad managed. And there's tons of version in-capability issues. And the error message is mostly clueless. For this particular issue. The closest answer is from "Jitendra Singh". Change the version to: 

 classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.0.0'

But in my case: Android studio 2.2 RC, I still get another error: 

Could not find matching constructor for: com.android.build.gradle.internal.LibraryTaskManager(org.gradle.api.internal.project.DefaultProject_Decorated, com.android.builder.core.AndroidBuilder, android.databinding.tool.DataBindingBuilder, com.android.build.gradle.LibraryExtension_Decorated, com.android.build.gradle.internal.SdkHandler, com.android.build.gradle.internal.DependencyManager, org.gradle.tooling.provider.model.internal.DefaultToolingModelBuilderRegistry)

So I went to the maven central to find the latest com.android.tools.build:gradle version which is 2.1.3 for now. So after change to 

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.3'
    }
}

Solved my problem eventually.

Float and double datatype in Java

You should use double instead of float for precise calculations, and float instead of double when using less accurate calculations. Float contains only decimal numbers, but double contains an IEEE754 double-precision floating point number, making it easier to contain and computate numbers more accurately. Hope this helps.

How to disable a link using only CSS?

Thanks to everyone that posted solutions, I combined multiple approaches to provide some more advanced disabled functionality. Here is a gist, and the code is below.

This provides for multiple levels of defense so that Anchors marked as disable actually behave as such.
Using this approach, you get an anchor that you cannot:
  - click
  - tab to and hit return
  - tabbing to it will move focus to the next focusable element
  - it is aware if the anchor is subsequently enabled


1.  Include this css, as it is the first line of defense.  This assumes the selector you use is 'a.disabled'
    a.disabled {
      pointer-events: none;
      cursor: default;
    }

 2. Next, instantiate this class such as (with optional selector):
    $ ->
      new AnchorDisabler()

Here is the coffescript class:

class AnchorDisabler
  constructor: (selector = 'a.disabled') ->
    $(selector).click(@onClick).keyup(@onKeyup).focus(@onFocus)

  isStillDisabled: (ev) =>
    ### since disabled can be a class or an attribute, and it can be dynamically removed, always recheck on a watched event ###
    target = $(ev.target)
    return true if target.hasClass('disabled')
    return true if target.attr('disabled') is 'disabled'
    return false

  onFocus: (ev) =>
    ### if an attempt is made to focus on a disabled element, just move it along to the next focusable one. ###
    return unless @isStillDisabled(ev)

    focusables = $(':focusable')
    return unless focusables

    current = focusables.index(ev.target)
    next = (if focusables.eq(current + 1).length then focusables.eq(current + 1) else focusables.eq(0))

    next.focus() if next


  onClick: (ev) =>
    # disabled could be dynamically removed
    return unless @isStillDisabled(ev)

    ev.preventDefault()
    return false

  onKeyup: (ev) =>

    # 13 is the js key code for Enter, we are only interested in disabling that so get out fast
    code = ev.keyCode or ev.which
    return unless code is 13

    # disabled could be dynamically removed
    return unless @isStillDisabled(ev)

    ev.preventDefault()
    return false

Aren't promises just callbacks?

No, Not at all.

Callbacks are simply Functions In JavaScript which are to be called and then executed after the execution of another function has finished. So how it happens?

Actually, In JavaScript, functions are itself considered as objects and hence as all other objects, even functions can be sent as arguments to other functions. The most common and generic use case one can think of is setTimeout() function in JavaScript.

Promises are nothing but a much more improvised approach of handling and structuring asynchronous code in comparison to doing the same with callbacks.

The Promise receives two Callbacks in constructor function: resolve and reject. These callbacks inside promises provide us with fine-grained control over error handling and success cases. The resolve callback is used when the execution of promise performed successfully and the reject callback is used to handle the error cases.

Remove from the beginning of std::vector

Two suggestions:

  1. Use std::deque instead of std::vector for better performance in your specific case and use the method std::deque::pop_front().
  2. Rethink (I mean: delete) the & in std::vector<ScanRule>& topPriorityRules;

Error: Selection does not contain a main type

I am running eclipse from Ubuntu. Had this same problem and was able run the program through terminal. So I just moved the existing public static void main(String[] args) { just below the class declaration (it got automatically formatted by eclipse) and the next launch was successful. Then moved the main method back to where it was before and it worked fine this time.

How do I change JPanel inside a JFrame on the fly?

 
class Frame1 extends javax.swing.JFrame {

    remove(previouspanel); //or getContentPane().removeAll();

    add(newpanel); //or setContentPane(newpanel);

    invalidate(); validate(); // or ((JComponent) getContentPane()).revalidate();

    repaint(); //DO NOT FORGET REPAINT

}

Sometimes you can do the work without using the revalidation and sometimes without using the repaint.My advise use both.

Removing underline with href attribute

Add a style with the attribute text-decoration:none;:

There are a number of different ways of doing this.

Inline style:

<a href="xxx.html" style="text-decoration:none;">goto this link</a>

Inline stylesheet:

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
   a {
      text-decoration:none;
   }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<a href="xxx.html">goto this link</a>
</body>
</html>

External stylesheet:

<html>
<head>
<link rel="Stylesheet" href="stylesheet.css" />
</head>
<body>
<a href="xxx.html">goto this link</a>
</body>
</html>

stylesheet.css:

a {
      text-decoration:none;
   }

What are the differences between LDAP and Active Directory?

Lightweight Directory Access Protocol or LDAP, is a standards based specification for interacting with directory data. Directory Services can implement support of LDAP to provide interoperability among 3rd party applications.

Active Directory is Microsoft's implementation of a directory service that, among other protocols, supports LDAP to query it's data.

While it supports LDAP, Active Directory provides a host of extensions and conveniences, such as password expiration and account lockout.

React - how to pass state to another component

Move all of your state and your handleClick function from Header to your MainWrapper component.

Then pass values as props to all components that need to share this functionality.

class MainWrapper extends React.Component {
    constructor() {
        super();
        this.state = {
            sidbarPushCollapsed: false,
            profileCollapsed: false
        };
        this.handleClick = this.handleClick.bind(this);
    }
    handleClick() {
        this.setState({
            sidbarPushCollapsed: !this.state.sidbarPushCollapsed,
            profileCollapsed: !this.state.profileCollapsed

        });
    }
    render() {
        return (
           //...
           <Header 
               handleClick={this.handleClick} 
               sidbarPushCollapsed={this.state.sidbarPushCollapsed}
               profileCollapsed={this.state.profileCollapsed} />
        );

Then in your Header's render() method, you'd use this.props:

<button type="button" id="sidbarPush" onClick={this.props.handleClick} profile={this.props.profileCollapsed}>

How do I parse a string into a number with Dart?

  var y = "4.6";
  double doubleNum = double.parse(y);//STRING to DOUBLE

  var z = 55;
  String myStr = z.toString();//INT to STRING
}

int.parse() and double.parse() can throw an error when it couldn't parse the String

Add button to navigationbar programmatically

Simple use native editBarButton like this 

self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = self.editButtonItem;
[self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem setAction:@selector(editBarBtnPressed)];

and then 

- (void)editBarBtnPressed {
    if ([infoTable isEditing]) {
        [self.editButtonItem setTitle:@"Edit"];
        [infoTable setEditing:NO animated:YES];
    }
    else {
        [self.editButtonItem setTitle:@"Done"];
        [infoTable setEditing:YES animated:YES];
    }
}

Is <div style="width: ;height: ;background: "> CSS?

For example :

_x000D_
_x000D_ 
<div style="height:100px; width:100px; background:#000000"></div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

here.

you give css to div of height and width having 100px and background as black.

PS : try to avoid inline-css you can make external CSS and import in your html file.

you can refer here for CSS

hope this helps.

Hunk #1 FAILED at 1. What's that mean?

In my case, the patch was generated perfectly fine by IDEA, however, I edited the patch and saved it which changed CRLF to LF and then the patch stopped working. Curiously, converting it back to CRLF did not work. I noticed in VI editor, that even after setting to DOS format, the '^M' were not added to the end of lines. This forced me to only make changes in VI, so that the EOLs were preserved.

This may apply to you, if you make changes in a non-Windows environment to a patch covering changes between two versions both coming from Windows environment. You want to be careful how you edit such files.

BTW ignore-whitespace did not help.

CSS: How to position two elements on top of each other, without specifying a height?

Here's some reusable css that will preserve the height of each element without using position: absolute:

.stack {

}
.stack > * {
    grid-row: 1;
    grid-column: 1;
}

The first element in your stack is the background, and the second is the foreground.

How do I mock a class without an interface?

No Application Encryption Key Has Been Specified

I found that most answers are incomplete here. In case anyone else is still looking for this:

  1. Check if you have APP_KEY= in your .env, if not just add it without a value.
  2. Run this command: php artisan key:generate. This will fill in the value to the APP_KEY in your .env file.
  3. Finally, run php artisan config:cache in order to clear your config cache and recache your config with the new APP_KEY value.

How to determine if a list of polygon points are in clockwise order?

A much computationally simpler method, if you already know a point inside the polygon:

  1. Choose any line segment from the original polygon, points and their coordinates in that order.

  2. Add a known "inside" point, and form a triangle.

  3. Calculate CW or CCW as suggested here with those three points.

Print Pdf in C#

You can create the PDF document using PdfSharp. It is an open source .NET library.

When trying to print the document it get worse. I have looked allover for a open source way of doing it. There are some ways do do it using AcroRd32.exe but it all depends on the version, and it cannot be done without acrobat reader staying open.

I finally ended up using VintaSoftImaging.NET SDK. It costs some money but is much cheaper than the alternative and it solves the problem really easy.

var doc = new Vintasoft.Imaging.Print.ImagePrintDocument { DocumentName = @"C:\Test.pdf" };
doc.Print();

That just prints to the default printer without showing. There are several alternatives and options.

How to copy data from another workbook (excel)?

I was in need of copying the data from one workbook to another using VBA. The requirement was as mentioned below 1. On pressing an Active X button open the dialogue to select the file from which the data needs to be copied. 2. On clicking OK the value should get copied from a cell / range to currently working workbook.

I did not want to use the open function because it opens the workbook which will be annoying

Below is the code that I wrote in the VBA. Any improvement or new alternative is welcome.

Code: Here I am copying the A1:C4 content from a workbook to the A1:C4 of current workbook

    Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
        Dim BackUp As String
        Dim cellCollection As New Collection
        Dim strSourceSheetName As String
        Dim strDestinationSheetName As String
        strSourceSheetName = "Sheet1" 'Mention the Source Sheet Name of Source Workbook
        strDestinationSheetName = "Sheet2" 'Mention the Destination Sheet Name of Destination Workbook


        Set cellCollection = GetCellsFromRange("A1:C4") 'Mention the Range you want to copy data from Source Workbook

        With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen)
            .AllowMultiSelect = False

Bootstrap Carousel Full Screen

Update Bootstrap 4

Bootstrap 4 has utility classes that make it easier to create a full screen carousel. For example, use the min-vh-100 class on the carousel-item content...

<div class="carousel slide" data-ride="carousel">
      <div class="carousel-inner bg-info" role="listbox">
            <div class="carousel-item active">
                <div class="d-flex align-items-center justify-content-center min-vh-100">
                    <h1 class="display-1">ONE</h1>
                </div>
            </div>
      </div>
</div>

Full screen carousel demo

This works to make the carousel items full screen, but carousel items that contain images or videos that have a specific size & aspect ratio require further consideration.

Since the viewport h/w ratio is likely to be different than the image or video h/w ratio, usually background images or object-fit are commonly used to size images and videos to "full screen". For videos, use the Bootstrap responsive embed classes as needed for the video ratio (21:9, 19:9, etc...).

Original answer (Bootstrap 3)

Make sure the img inside the carousel item is set to height and width 100%. You also have to make sure the carousel and any of the .item containers (html,body) are 100%...

html,body{height:100%;}
.carousel,.item,.active{height:100%;}
.carousel-inner{height:100%;}

How to add an item to a drop down list in ASP.NET?

Which specific index? If you want 'Add New' to be first on the dropdownlist you can add it though the code like this:

<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" AppendDataBoundItems="true" runat="server">
     <asp:ListItem Text="Add New" Value="0" />
</asp:DropDownList>

If you want to add it at a different index, maybe the last then try:

ListItem lst = new ListItem ( "Add New" , "0" );

DropDownList1.Items.Insert( DropDownList1.Items.Count-1 ,lst);

How to create a database from shell command?

The ist and 2nd answer are good but if anybody is looking for having a script or If you want dynamic i.e (db/username/password in variable) then here:

#!/bin/bash



DB="mydb"
USER="user1"
PASS="pass_bla"

mysql -uroot -prootpassword -e "CREATE DATABASE $DB CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci";
mysql -uroot -prootpassword -e "CREATE USER $USER@'127.0.0.1' IDENTIFIED BY '$PASS'";
mysql -uroot -prootpassword -e "GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE ON $DB.* TO '$USER'@'127.0.0.1'";

Storing images in SQL Server?

Why it can be good to store pictures in the database an not in a catalog on the web server.

You have made an application with lots of pictures stored in a folder on the server, that the client has used for years.

Now they come to you. They server has been destroyed and they need to restore it on a new server. They have no access to the old server anymore. The only backup they have is the database backup.

You have of course the source and can simple deploy it to the new server, install SqlServer and restore the database. But now all the pictures are gone.

If you have saved the pictures in SqlServer everything will work as before.

Just my 2 cents.

How to run a script file remotely using SSH

Make the script executable by the user "Kev" and then remove the try it running through the command sh kev@server1 /test/foo.sh

Splitting a Java String by the pipe symbol using split("|")

 
test.split("\\|",999);

Specifing a limit or max will be accurate for examples like: "boo|||a" or "||boo|" or " |||"

But test.split("\\|"); will return different length strings arrays for the same examples.

iPhone App Icons - Exact Radius?

Important: iOS 7 icon equation

With the upcoming release of iOS 7 you will notice that the "standard" icon radius has been increased. So try to do what Apple and I suggested with this answer.

It appears that for a 120px icon the formula that best represents its shape on iOS 7 is the following superellipse:

|x/120|^5 + |y/120|^5 = 1

Obviously you can change the 120 number with the desired icon size to get the corresponding function.

Original

You should provide an image that has 90° corners (it’s important to avoid cropping the corners of your icon—iOS does that for you when it applies the corner-rounding mask) (Apple Documentation)

The best approach is not rounding the corners of your icons at all. If you set your icon as a square icon, iOS will automatically overlay the icon with a predefined mask that will set the appropriate rounded corners.

If you manually set rounded corners for your icons, they will probably look broken in this or that device, because the rounding mask happens to slightly change from an iOS version to another. Sometimes your icons will be slightly larger, sometimes (sigh) slightly smaller. Using a square icon will free you from this burden, and you will be sure to have an always up-to-date and good looking icon for your app.

This approach is valid for each icon size (iPhone/iPod/iPad/retina), and also for the iTunes artwork. I followed this approach a couple of times, and if you want I can post you a link to an app that uses native square icons.

Edit

To better understand this answer, please refer to the official Apple documentation about iOS icons. In this page it is clearly stated that a square icon will automatically get these things when displayed on an iOS device:

  1. Rounded corners
  2. Drop shadow
  3. Reflective shine (unless you prevent the shine effect)

So, you can achieve whatever effect you want just drawing a plain square icon and filling content in it. The final corner radius will be something similar to what the other answers here are saying, but this will never be guaranteed, since those numbers are not part of the official Apple documentation on iOS. They ask you to draw square icons, so ... why not?

How to play CSS3 transitions in a loop?

If you want to take advantage of the 60FPS smoothness that the "transform" property offers, you can combine the two:

@keyframes changewidth {
  from {
    transform: scaleX(1);
  }

  to {
    transform: scaleX(2);
  }
}

div {
  animation-duration: 0.1s;
  animation-name: changewidth;
  animation-iteration-count: infinite;
  animation-direction: alternate;
}

More explanation on why transform offers smoother transitions here: https://medium.com/outsystems-experts/how-to-achieve-60-fps-animations-with-css3-db7b98610108

How to find a min/max with Ruby

If you need to find the max/min of a hash, you can use #max_by or #min_by

people = {'joe' => 21, 'bill' => 35, 'sally' => 24}

people.min_by { |name, age| age } #=> ["joe", 21]
people.max_by { |name, age| age } #=> ["bill", 35]

How can I tell if a VARCHAR variable contains a substring?

 
    IF CHARINDEX('TextToSearch',@TextWhereISearch, 0) > 0 => TEXT EXISTS

    IF PATINDEX('TextToSearch', @TextWhereISearch) > 0 => TEXT EXISTS

    Additionally we can also use LIKE but I usually don't use LIKE.

HTML - Display image after selecting filename

This can be done using HTML5, but will only work in browsers that support it. Here's an example.

Bear in mind you'll need an alternative method for browsers that don't support this. I've had a lot of success with this plugin, which takes a lot of the work out of your hands.

Convert a Unicode string to an escaped ASCII string

For Unescape You can simply use this functions:

System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Unescape(string)

System.Uri.UnescapeDataString(string)

I suggest using this method (It works better with UTF-8):

UnescapeDataString(string)

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysqli_connect()

If you host the server yourself, in the php.ini file remove the semicolon in front of the extension extension=php_mysqli.dll

What exactly does stringstream do?

Sometimes it is very convenient to use stringstream to convert between strings and other numerical types. The usage of stringstream is similar to the usage of iostream, so it is not a burden to learn.

Stringstreams can be used to both read strings and write data into strings. It mainly functions with a string buffer, but without a real I/O channel.

The basic member functions of stringstream class are

  • str(), which returns the contents of its buffer in string type.

  • str(string), which set the contents of the buffer to the string argument.

Here is an example of how to use string streams.

ostringstream os;
os << "dec: " << 15 << " hex: " << std::hex << 15 << endl;
cout << os.str() << endl;

The result is dec: 15 hex: f.

istringstream is of more or less the same usage.

To summarize, stringstream is a convenient way to manipulate strings like an independent I/O device.

FYI, the inheritance relationships between the classes are:

ORA-28040: No matching authentication protocol exception

Very old question but providing some additional information which may help someone else. I also encountered same error and I was using ojdbc14.jar with 12.1.0.2 Oracle Database. On Oracle official web page this information is listed that which version supports which database drivers. Here is the link and it appears that with Oracle 12c and Java 7 or 8 the correct version is ojdbc7.jar.

In the ojdbc6.jar is for 11.2.0.4.

How to remove outliers in boxplot in R?

See ?boxplot for all the help you need.

 outline: if ‘outline’ is not true, the outliers are not drawn (as
          points whereas S+ uses lines).

boxplot(x,horizontal=TRUE,axes=FALSE,outline=FALSE)

And for extending the range of the whiskers and suppressing the outliers inside this range:

   range: this determines how far the plot whiskers extend out from the
          box.  If ‘range’ is positive, the whiskers extend to the most
          extreme data point which is no more than ‘range’ times the
          interquartile range from the box. A value of zero causes the
          whiskers to extend to the data extremes.

# change the value of range to change the whisker length
boxplot(x,horizontal=TRUE,axes=FALSE,range=2)
