Xpath: select div that contains class AND whose specific child element contains text

To find a div of a certain class that contains a span at any depth containing certain text, try:

//div[contains(@class, 'measure-tab') and contains(.//span, 'someText')]

That said, this solution looks extremely fragile. If the table happens to contain a span with the text you're looking for, the div containing the table will be matched, too. I'd suggest to find a more robust way of filtering the elements. For example by using IDs or top-level document structure.

What is the "Illegal Instruction: 4" error and why does "-mmacosx-version-min=10.x" fix it?

I got this error when attempting to build with Xcode 10. It appears to be a bug in the Swift compiler. Building with Whole Module Optimization on, resolves the issue: https://forums.swift.org/t/illegal-instruction-4-when-trying-to-compile-project/16118

This is not an ideal solution, I will continue to use Xcode 9.4.1 until this issue is resolved.

jQuery change method on input type="file"

I could not get IE8+ to work by adding a jQuery event handler to the file input type. I had to go old-school and add the the onchange="" attribute to the input tag:

<input type='file' onchange='getFilename(this)'/>

function getFileName(elm) {
   var fn = $(elm).val();
   ....
}

EDIT:

function getFileName(elm) {
   var fn = $(elm).val();
   var filename = fn.match(/[^\\/]*$/)[0]; // remove C:\fakename
   alert(filename);
}

How to save a list as numpy array in python?

Here is a more complete example:

import csv
import numpy as np

with open('filename','rb') as csvfile:
     cdl = list( csv.reader(csvfile,delimiter='\t'))
     print "Number of records = " + str(len(cdl))

#then later

npcdl = np.array(cdl)

Hope this helps!!

Custom pagination view in Laravel 5

beside the answer of @MantasD I would like to offer comprehensive customized Laravel pagination. Assuming using Laravel 5.2 and the following included view:

@include('pagination.default', ['pager' => $users])

Features

  • Showing Previous and Next buttons and disable them when not applicable
  • Showing First and Last page icon only if the Previous and Next page not doing the same
  • Generate relative links ex: (10, 100, 500 .. etc.) instead of limiting pages
  • Showing result from x to y of each page using a helper function.

default.blade.php

@if($pager->lastPage() != 1)
<ul class="pagination">

    @unless($pager->currentPage() < 3)
        <li class="paginate_button previous">
            <a href="{{ $pager->url(1) }}" title="First Page"><i class="fa fa-angle-double-left"></i></a>
        </li>
    @endunless

    <li class="paginate_button previous @unless($pager->previousPageUrl())disabled @endunless">
        <a href="{{ $pager->previousPageUrl() }}"><i class="fa fa-angle-left"></i></a>
    </li>

    @while($pager->paging++ < $pager->lastPage())
        @if (abs($pager->paging - $pager->currentPage()) >= 2)
            {{-- Generate relative links (eg. +10,etc) --}}
            @if(in_array(abs($pager->paging - $pager->currentPage()), array(10, 50, 100, 500, 1000))
            and $pager->paging != 1 and $pager->paging != $pager->lastPage())
                <li class="paginate_button @unless($pager->currentPage() != $pager->paging)active @endunless">
                    <a title="Results from {{ PaginationStartEnd($pager->paging, $pager->perPage(), $pager->total())['start'] }} to {{ PaginationStartEnd($pager->paging, $pager->perPage(), $pager->total())['end'] }} of {{ $pager->total() }}" href="{{ $pager->url($pager->paging) }}">
                        <!-- + {{ $pager->paging - $pager->currentPage() }} -->{{ $pager->paging }}
                    </a>
                </li>
            @endif
        @else
            <li class="paginate_button @unless($pager->currentPage() != $pager->paging)active @endunless">
                <a title="Results from {{ PaginationStartEnd($pager->paging, $pager->perPage(), $pager->total())['start'] }} to {{ PaginationStartEnd($pager->paging, $pager->perPage(), $pager->total())['end'] }} of {{ $pager->total() }}" href="{{ $pager->url($pager->paging) }}">
                    {{ $pager->paging }}
                </a>
            </li>
        @endif
    @endwhile

    <li class="paginate_button next @unless($pager->nextPageUrl())disabled @endunless">
        <a href="{{ $pager->nextPageUrl() }}"><i class="fa fa-angle-right"></i></a>
    </li>

    @unless($pager->lastPage() - $pager->currentPage() < 2)
        <li class="paginate_button next">
            <a href="{{ $pager->url($pager->lastPage()) }}" title="Last Page"><i class="fa fa-angle-double-right"></i></a>
        </li>
    @endunless

</ul>
@endif

PaginationStartEnd function

if (!function_exists('PaginationStartEnd')) {
function PaginationStartEnd($currentPage, $perPage, $total)
{
    $pageStart = number_format( $perPage * ($currentPage - 1));
    $pageEnd = $pageStart +  $perPage;

    if ($pageEnd > $total)
        $pageEnd = $total;

    $pageStart++;

    return array('start' => number_format($pageStart), 'end' => number_format($pageEnd));
}
}

You can use and customize this more as you wish.

Note: $pager->paging is variable set to 0 declared in the controller action

Passing headers with axios POST request

Interceptors

I had the same issue and the reason was that I hadn't returned the response in the interceptor. Javascript thought, rightfully so, that I wanted to return undefined for the promise:

// Add a request interceptor
axios.interceptors.request.use(function (config) {
    // Do something before request is sent
    return config;
  }, function (error) {
    // Do something with request error
    return Promise.reject(error);
  });

Installing Apple's Network Link Conditioner Tool

For Xcode 8 you gotta download a package named Additional Tools for Xcode 8

For other versions (8.1, 8.2) get the package here

Double click and open the dmg and go to Hardware directory. Double click on Network Link Conditioner.prefPane.

enter image description here

Click on install

enter image description here

Now Network Link Conditioner will be available in System Preferences.

For versions older than Xcode 8, the package to be downloaded is called Hardware IO Tools for Xcode. Get it from this page

Checking whether a String contains a number value in Java

Looks like people like doing spoonfeeding, so I have decided to post the worst solution to an easy task:

public static boolean isNumber(String s) throws Exception {
    boolean result = false;
    byte[] bytes = s.getBytes("ASCII");
    int tmp, i = bytes.length;
    while (i >0  && (result = ((tmp = bytes[--i] - '0') >= 0) && tmp <= 9));
    return result;
}

About the worst code I could imagine, but there might be other people here who can come up with even worse solutions.

Hm, containsNumber is worse:

public static boolean containsNumber(String s) throws Exception {
    boolean result = false;
    byte[] bytes = s.getBytes("ASCII");
    int tmp, i = bytes.length;
    while (i >0  && (true | (result |= ((tmp = bytes[--i] - '0') >= 0) && tmp <= 9)));
    return result;
}

Adding a guideline to the editor in Visual Studio

This will also work in Visual Studio 2010 (Beta 2), as long as you install Paul Harrington's extension to enable the guidelines from the VSGallery or from the extension manager inside VS2010. Since this is version 10.0, you should use the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\Text Editor

Also, Paul wrote an extension that adds entries to the editor's context menu for adding/removing the entries without needing to edit the registry directly. You can find it here: http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/7f2a6727-2993-4c1d-8f58-ae24df14ea91

How do I fix the multiple-step OLE DB operation errors in SSIS?

This is what I was also facing. The problem came from the fact that I changed my SQLOLEDB.1 provider to SQLNCLI11 without mentioning the compatibility mode in the connection string. When I set this DataTypeCompatibility=80; in the connection string, I got the problem solved.

How to get a List<string> collection of values from app.config in WPF?

I love Richard Nienaber's answer, but as Chuu pointed out, it really doesn't tell how to accomplish what Richard is refering to as a solution. Therefore I have chosen to provide you with the way I ended up doing this, ending with the result Richard is talking about.

The solution

In this case I'm creating a greeting widget that needs to know which options it has to greet in. This may be an over-engineered solution to OPs question as I am also creating an container for possible future widgets.

First I set up my collection to handle the different greetings

public class GreetingWidgetCollection : System.Configuration.ConfigurationElementCollection
{
    public List<IGreeting> All { get { return this.Cast<IGreeting>().ToList(); } }

    public GreetingElement this[int index]
    {
        get
        {
            return base.BaseGet(index) as GreetingElement;
        }
        set
        {
            if (base.BaseGet(index) != null)
            {
                base.BaseRemoveAt(index);
            }
            this.BaseAdd(index, value);
        }
    }

    protected override ConfigurationElement CreateNewElement()
    {
        return new GreetingElement();
    }

    protected override object GetElementKey(ConfigurationElement element)
    {
        return ((GreetingElement)element).Greeting;
    }
}

Then we create the acutal greeting element and it's interface

(You can omit the interface, that's just the way I'm always doing it.)

public interface IGreeting
{
    string Greeting { get; set; }
}

public class GreetingElement : System.Configuration.ConfigurationElement, IGreeting
{
    [ConfigurationProperty("greeting", IsRequired = true)]
    public string Greeting
    {
        get { return (string)this["greeting"]; }
        set { this["greeting"] = value; }
    }
}

The greetingWidget property so our config understands the collection

We define our collection GreetingWidgetCollection as the ConfigurationProperty greetingWidget so that we can use "greetingWidget" as our container in the resulting XML.

public class Widgets : System.Configuration.ConfigurationSection
{
    public static Widgets Widget => ConfigurationManager.GetSection("widgets") as Widgets;

    [ConfigurationProperty("greetingWidget", IsRequired = true)]
    public GreetingWidgetCollection GreetingWidget
    {
        get { return (GreetingWidgetCollection) this["greetingWidget"]; }
        set { this["greetingWidget"] = value; }
    }
}

The resulting XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
   <widgets>
       <greetingWidget>
           <add greeting="Hej" />
           <add greeting="Goddag" />
           <add greeting="Hello" />
           ...
           <add greeting="Konnichiwa" />
           <add greeting="Namaskaar" />
       </greetingWidget>
    </widgets>
</configuration>

And you would call it like this

List<GreetingElement> greetings = Widgets.GreetingWidget.All;

How do I find the time difference between two datetime objects in python?

To just find the number of days: timedelta has a 'days' attribute. You can simply query that.

>>>from datetime import datetime, timedelta
>>>d1 = datetime(2015, 9, 12, 13, 9, 45)
>>>d2 = datetime(2015, 8, 29, 21, 10, 12)
>>>d3 = d1- d2
>>>print d3
13 days, 15:59:33
>>>print d3.days
13

grabbing first row in a mysql query only

You didn't specify how the order is determined, but this will give you a rank value in MySQL:

SELECT t.*,
       @rownum := @rownum +1 AS rank
  FROM TBL_FOO t
  JOIN (SELECT @rownum := 0) r
 WHERE t.name = 'sarmen'

Then you can pick out what rows you want, based on the rank value.

How to store a list in a column of a database table

Only one option doesn't mentioned in the answers. You can de-normalize your DB design. So you need two tables. One table contains proper list, one item per row, another table contains whole list in one column (coma-separated, for example).

Here it is 'traditional' DB design:

List(ListID, ListName) 
Item(ItemID,ItemName) 
List_Item(ListID, ItemID, SortOrder)

Here it is de-normalized table:

Lists(ListID, ListContent)

The idea here - you maintain Lists table using triggers or application code. Every time you modify List_Item content, appropriate rows in Lists get updated automatically. If you mostly read lists it could work quite fine. Pros - you can read lists in one statement. Cons - updates take more time and efforts.

Manually Triggering Form Validation using jQuery

I seem to find the trick: Just remove the form target attribute, then use a submit button to validate the form and show hints, check if form valid via JavaScript, and then post whatever. The following code works for me:

<form>
  <input name="foo" required>
  <button id="submit">Submit</button>
</form>

<script>
$('#submit').click( function(e){
  var isValid = true;
  $('form input').map(function() {
    isValid &= this.validity['valid'] ;
  }) ;
  if (isValid) {
    console.log('valid!');
    // post something..
  } else
    console.log('not valid!');
});
</script>

How do you list the primary key of a SQL Server table?

If you are looking to do your own ORM or generate code from a given table, then this might be what you are looking form:

declare @table varchar(100) = 'mytable';

with cte as
(
    select 
        tc.CONSTRAINT_SCHEMA
        , tc.CONSTRAINT_TYPE
        , tc.TABLE_NAME
        , ccu.COLUMN_NAME
        , IS_NULLABLE
        , DATA_TYPE
        , CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH
        , NUMERIC_PRECISION
    from 
        INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS tc 
        inner join INFORMATION_SCHEMA.CONSTRAINT_COLUMN_USAGE ccu on tc.TABLE_NAME=ccu.TABLE_NAME  and tc.TABLE_SCHEMA=ccu.TABLE_SCHEMA
        inner join information_schema.COLUMNS c on ccu.COLUMN_NAME=c.COLUMN_NAME and ccu.TABLE_NAME=c.TABLE_NAME and ccu.TABLE_SCHEMA=c.TABLE_SCHEMA
    where 
        tc.table_name=@table
        and 
        ccu.CONSTRAINT_NAME=tc.CONSTRAINT_NAME
    union 
    select TABLE_SCHEMA,'COLUMN', TABLE_NAME, COLUMN_NAME, IS_NULLABLE, DATA_TYPE,CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH, NUMERIC_PRECISION from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS where TABLE_NAME=@table
    and COLUMN_NAME not in (select COLUMN_NAME from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.CONSTRAINT_COLUMN_USAGE where TABLE_NAME = @table)
)
select 
    cast(iif(CONSTRAINT_TYPE='PRIMARY KEY',1,0) as bit) PrimaryKey
    ,cast(iif(CONSTRAINT_TYPE='FOREIGN KEY',1,0) as bit) ForeignKey
    ,cast(iif(CONSTRAINT_TYPE='COLUMN',1,0) as bit) NotKey
    ,COLUMN_NAME
    ,cast(iif(is_nullable='NO',0,1) as bit) IsNullable
    , DATA_TYPE
    , CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH
    , NUMERIC_PRECISION 
from 
    cte 
order by 
    case CONSTRAINT_TYPE 
        when 'PRIMARY KEY' then 1 
        when 'FOREIGN KEY' then 2 
        else 3 end
    , COLUMN_NAME

Here is what the result would look like:

Twitter Bootstrap 3: How to center a block

A few answers here seem incomplete. Here are several variations:

<style>
.box {
    height: 200px;
    width: 200px;
    border: 4px solid gray;
}
</style>    

<!-- This works: .container>.row>.center-block.box -->
<div class="container">
        <div class="row">
            <div class="center-block bg-primary box">This div is centered with .center-block</div>
        </div>
    </div>

<!-- This does not work -->    
<div class="container">
        <div class="row">
            <div class="center-block bg-primary box col-xs-4">This div is centered with .center-block</div>
        </div>
    </div>

<!-- This is the hybrid solution from other answers:
     .container>.row>.col-xs-6>.center-block.box
 -->   
<div class="container">
        <div class="row">
            <div class="col-xs-6 bg-info">
                <div class="center-block bg-primary box">This div is centered with .center-block</div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>

To make it work with col-* classes, you need to wrap the .center-block inside a .col-* class, but remember to either add another class that sets the width (.box in this case), or to alter the .center-block itself by giving it a width.

How to concatenate columns in a Postgres SELECT?

With string type columns like character(2) (as you mentioned later), the displayed concatenation just works because, quoting the manual:

[...] the string concatenation operator (||) accepts non-string input, so long as at least one input is of a string type, as shown in Table 9.8. For other cases, insert an explicit coercion to text [...]

Bold emphasis mine. The 2nd example (select a||', '||b from foo) works for any data types since the untyped string literal ', ' defaults to type text making the whole expression valid in any case.

For non-string data types, you can "fix" the 1st statement by casting at least one argument to text. (Any type can be cast to text):

SELECT a::text || b AS ab FROM foo;

Judging from your own answer, "does not work" was supposed to mean "returns NULL". The result of anything concatenated to NULL is NULL. If NULL values can be involved and the result shall not be NULL, use concat_ws() to concatenate any number of values (Postgres 9.1 or later):

SELECT concat_ws(', ', a, b) AS ab FROM foo;

Or concat() if you don't need separators:

SELECT concat(a, b) AS ab FROM foo;

No need for type casts here since both functions take "any" input and work with text representations.

More details (and why COALESCE is a poor substitute) in this related answer:

Regarding update in the comment

+ is not a valid operator for string concatenation in Postgres (or standard SQL). It's a private idea of Microsoft to add this to their products.

There is hardly any good reason to use character(n) (synonym: char(n)). Use text or varchar. Details:

Best practices with STDIN in Ruby?

Following are some things I found in my collection of obscure Ruby.

So, in Ruby, a simple no-bells implementation of the Unix command cat would be:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
puts ARGF.read

ARGF is your friend when it comes to input; it is a virtual file that gets all input from named files or all from STDIN.

ARGF.each_with_index do |line, idx|
    print ARGF.filename, ":", idx, ";", line
end

# print all the lines in every file passed via command line that contains login
ARGF.each do |line|
    puts line if line =~ /login/
end

Thank goodness we didn’t get the diamond operator in Ruby, but we did get ARGF as a replacement. Though obscure, it actually turns out to be useful. Consider this program, which prepends copyright headers in-place (thanks to another Perlism, -i) to every file mentioned on the command-line:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby -i

Header = DATA.read

ARGF.each_line do |e|
  puts Header if ARGF.pos - e.length == 0
  puts e
end

Number to String in a formula field

i wrote a simple function for this:

Function (stringVar param)
(
    Local stringVar oneChar := '0';
    Local numberVar strLen := Length(param);
    Local numberVar index := strLen;

    oneChar = param[strLen];

    while index > 0 and oneChar = '0' do
    (
        oneChar := param[index];
        index := index - 1;
    );

    Left(param , index + 1);
)

How can I verify a Google authentication API access token?

I need to somehow query Google and ask: Is this access token valid for [email protected]?

No. All you need is request standard login with Federated Login for Google Account Users from your API domain. And only after that you could compare "persistent user ID" with one you have from 'public interface'.

The value of realm is used on the Google Federated Login page to identify the requesting site to the user. It is also used to determine the value of the persistent user ID returned by Google.

So you need be from same domain as 'public interface'.

And do not forget that user needs to be sure that your API could be trusted ;) So Google will ask user if it allows you to check for his identity.

jquery $.each() for objects

Basically you need to do two loops here. The one you are doing already is iterating each element in the 0th array element.

You have programs: [ {...}, {...} ] so programs[0] is { "name":"zonealarm", "price":"500" } So your loop is just going over that.

You could do an outer loop over the array

$.each(data.programs, function(index) {

    // then loop over the object elements
    $.each(data.programs[index], function(key, value) {
        console.log(key + ": " + value);
    }

}

Change the content of a div based on selection from dropdown menu

The accepted answer has a couple of shortcomings:

  • Don't target IDs in your JavaScript code. Use classes and data attributes to avoid repeating your code.
  • It is good practice to hide with CSS on load rather than with JavaScript—to support non-JavaScript users, and prevent a show-hide flicker on load.

Considering the above, your options could even have different values, but toggle the same class:

<select class="div-toggle" data-target=".my-info-1">
  <option value="orange" data-show=".citrus">Orange</option>
  <option value="lemon" data-show=".citrus">Lemon</option>
  <option value="apple" data-show=".pome">Apple</option>
  <option value="pear" data-show=".pome">Pear</option>
</select>

<div class="my-info-1">
  <div class="citrus hide">Citrus is...</div>
  <div class="pome hide">A pome is...</div>
</div>

jQuery:

$(document).on('change', '.div-toggle', function() {
  var target = $(this).data('target');
  var show = $("option:selected", this).data('show');
  $(target).children().addClass('hide');
  $(show).removeClass('hide');
});
$(document).ready(function(){
    $('.div-toggle').trigger('change');
});

CSS:

.hide {
  display: none;
}

Here's a JSFiddle to see it in action.

How to compare two object variables in EL expression language?

In Expression Language you can just use the == or eq operator to compare object values. Behind the scenes they will actually use the Object#equals(). This way is done so, because until with the current EL 2.1 version you cannot invoke methods with other signatures than standard getter (and setter) methods (in the upcoming EL 2.2 it would be possible).

So the particular line

<c:when test="${lang}.equals(${pageLang})">

should be written as (note that the whole expression is inside the { and })

<c:when test="${lang == pageLang}">

or, equivalently

<c:when test="${lang eq pageLang}">

Both are behind the scenes roughly interpreted as

jspContext.findAttribute("lang").equals(jspContext.findAttribute("pageLang"))

If you want to compare constant String values, then you need to quote it

<c:when test="${lang == 'en'}">

or, equivalently

<c:when test="${lang eq 'en'}">

which is behind the scenes roughly interpreted as

jspContext.findAttribute("lang").equals("en")

Netbeans - class does not have a main method

This happens when you move your main class location manually because Netbeans doesn't refresh one of its property files. Open nbproject/project.properties and change the value of main.class to the correct package location.

What is the cleanest way to get the progress of JQuery ajax request?

Follow the steps to display Progress of Ajax Request:

  1. Create a Spinner using Html & CSS or use Bootstrap Spinner.
  2. Display the Spinner when the end-user is requesting for the AJAX Data for infinite loop or for threshold limit time.
  3. So, after a SUCCESS / ERROR result of AJAX Request, remove the Spinner which is currently displayed and show your results.

To make it easy I recommend you using JS Classes for dynamically Displaying & Hiding the spinner for this purpose.

I Hope this helps!

How to reload current page?

I have solved following this way

import { Router, ActivatedRoute } from '@angular/router';

constructor(private router: Router
          , private activeRoute: ActivatedRoute) {

}
reloadCurrentPage(){
   let currentUrl = this.router.url;
   this.router.navigateByUrl('/', {skipLocationChange: true}).then(() => {
   this.router.navigate([currentUrl]);
   });
 }

java : convert float to String and String to float

To go the full manual route: This method converts doubles to strings by shifting the number's decimal point around and using floor (to long) and modulus to extract the digits. Also, it uses counting by base division to figure out the place where the decimal point belongs. It can also "delete" higher parts of the number once it reaches the places after the decimal point, to avoid losing precision with ultra-large doubles. See commented code at the end. In my testing, it is never less precise than the Java float representations themselves, when they actually show these imprecise lower decimal places.

/**
 * Convert the given double to a full string representation, i.e. no scientific notation
 * and always twelve digits after the decimal point.
 * @param d The double to be converted
 * @return A full string representation
 */
public static String fullDoubleToString(final double d) {
    // treat 0 separately, it will cause problems on the below algorithm
    if (d == 0) {
        return "0.000000000000";
    }
    // find the number of digits above the decimal point
    double testD = Math.abs(d);
    int digitsBeforePoint = 0;
    while (testD >= 1) {
        // doesn't matter that this loses precision on the lower end
        testD /= 10d;
        ++digitsBeforePoint;
    }

    // create the decimal digits
    StringBuilder repr = new StringBuilder();
    // 10^ exponent to determine divisor and current decimal place
    int digitIndex = digitsBeforePoint;
    double dabs = Math.abs(d);
    while (digitIndex > 0) {
        // Recieves digit at current power of ten (= place in decimal number)
        long digit = (long)Math.floor(dabs / Math.pow(10, digitIndex-1)) % 10;
        repr.append(digit);
        --digitIndex;
    }

    // insert decimal point
    if (digitIndex == 0) {
        repr.append(".");
    }

    // remove any parts above the decimal point, they create accuracy problems
    long digit = 0;
    dabs -= (long)Math.floor(dabs);
    // Because of inaccuracy, move to entirely new system of computing digits after decimal place.
    while (digitIndex > -12) {
        // Shift decimal point one step to the right
        dabs *= 10d;
        final var oldDigit = digit;
        digit = (long)Math.floor(dabs) % 10;
        repr.append(digit);

        // This may avoid float inaccuracy at the very last decimal places.
        // However, in practice, inaccuracy is still as high as even Java itself reports.
        // dabs -= oldDigit * 10l;
        --digitIndex;
    }

    return repr.insert(0, d < 0 ? "-" : "").toString(); 
}

Note that while StringBuilder is used for speed, this method can easily be rewritten to use arrays and therefore also work in other languages.

Add error bars to show standard deviation on a plot in R

A Problem with csgillespie solution appears, when You have an logarithmic X axis. The you will have a different length of the small bars on the right an the left side (the epsilon follows the x-values).

You should better use the errbar function from the Hmisc package:

d = data.frame(
  x  = c(1:5)
  , y  = c(1.1, 1.5, 2.9, 3.8, 5.2)
  , sd = c(0.2, 0.3, 0.2, 0.0, 0.4)
)

##install.packages("Hmisc", dependencies=T)
library("Hmisc")

# add error bars (without adjusting yrange)
plot(d$x, d$y, type="n")
with (
  data = d
  , expr = errbar(x, y, y+sd, y-sd, add=T, pch=1, cap=.1)
)

# new plot (adjusts Yrange automatically)
with (
  data = d
  , expr = errbar(x, y, y+sd, y-sd, add=F, pch=1, cap=.015, log="x")
)

How to correctly use the extern keyword in C

If each file in your program is first compiled to an object file, then the object files are linked together, you need extern. It tells the compiler "This function exists, but the code for it is somewhere else. Don't panic."

Removing special characters VBA Excel

In the case that you not only want to exclude a list of special characters, but to exclude all characters that are not letters or numbers, I would suggest that you use a char type comparison approach.

For each character in the String, I would check if the unicode character is between "A" and "Z", between "a" and "z" or between "0" and "9". This is the vba code:

Function cleanString(text As String) As String
    Dim output As String
    Dim c 'since char type does not exist in vba, we have to use variant type.
    For i = 1 To Len(text)
        c = Mid(text, i, 1) 'Select the character at the i position
        If (c >= "a" And c <= "z") Or (c >= "0" And c <= "9") Or (c >= "A" And c <= "Z") Then
            output = output & c 'add the character to your output.
        Else
            output = output & " " 'add the replacement character (space) to your output
        End If
    Next
    cleanString = output
End Function

The Wikipedia list of Unicode characers is a good quick-start if you want to customize this function a little more.

This solution has the advantage to be functionnal even if the user finds a way to introduce new special characters. It also faster than comparing two lists together.

How does a ArrayList's contains() method evaluate objects?

Other posters have addressed the question about how contains() works.

An equally important aspect of your question is how to properly implement equals(). And the answer to this is really dependent on what constitutes object equality for this particular class. In the example you provided, if you have two different objects that both have x=5, are they equal? It really depends on what you are trying to do.

If you are only interested in object equality, then the default implementation of .equals() (the one provided by Object) uses identity only (i.e. this == other). If that's what you want, then just don't implement equals() on your class (let it inherit from Object). The code you wrote, while kind of correct if you are going for identity, would never appear in a real class b/c it provides no benefit over using the default Object.equals() implementation.

If you are just getting started with this stuff, I strongly recommend the Effective Java book by Joshua Bloch. It's a great read, and covers this sort of thing (plus how to correctly implement equals() when you are trying to do more than identity based comparisons)

Eclipse: The declared package does not match the expected package

The build path should contain the path 'till before' that of the package name.

For eg, if the folder structure is: src/main/java/com/example/dao If the class containing the import statement'package com.example.dao' complains of the incorrect package error, then, the build path should include:src/main/java This should solve the issue.

How do I name the "row names" column in r

It sounds like you want to convert the rownames to a proper column of the data.frame. eg:

# add the rownames as a proper column
myDF <- cbind(Row.Names = rownames(myDF), myDF)
myDF

#           Row.Names id val vr2
# row_one     row_one  A   1  23
# row_two     row_two  A   2  24
# row_three row_three  B   3  25
# row_four   row_four  C   4  26

If you want to then remove the original rownames:

rownames(myDF) <- NULL
myDF
#   Row.Names id val vr2
# 1   row_one  A   1  23
# 2   row_two  A   2  24
# 3 row_three  B   3  25
# 4  row_four  C   4  26


Alternatively, if all of your data is of the same class (ie, all numeric, or all string), you can convert to Matrix and name the dimnames

myMat <- as.matrix(myDF)
names(dimnames(myMat)) <- c("Names.of.Rows", "")
myMat

# Names.of.Rows id  val vr2 
#   row_one   "A" "1" "23"
#   row_two   "A" "2" "24"
#   row_three "B" "3" "25"
#   row_four  "C" "4" "26"

What's the difference between a mock & stub?

Spring MVC - Why not able to use @RequestBody and @RequestParam together

The @RequestBody javadoc states

Annotation indicating a method parameter should be bound to the body of the web request.

It uses registered instances of HttpMessageConverter to deserialize the request body into an object of the annotated parameter type.

And the @RequestParam javadoc states

Annotation which indicates that a method parameter should be bound to a web request parameter.

  1. Spring binds the body of the request to the parameter annotated with @RequestBody.

  2. Spring binds request parameters from the request body (url-encoded parameters) to your method parameter. Spring will use the name of the parameter, ie. name, to map the parameter.

  3. Parameters are resolved in order. The @RequestBody is processed first. Spring will consume all the HttpServletRequest InputStream. When it then tries to resolve the @RequestParam, which is by default required, there is no request parameter in the query string or what remains of the request body, ie. nothing. So it fails with 400 because the request can't be correctly handled by the handler method.

  4. The handler for @RequestParam acts first, reading what it can of the HttpServletRequest InputStream to map the request parameter, ie. the whole query string/url-encoded parameters. It does so and gets the value abc mapped to the parameter name. When the handler for @RequestBody runs, there's nothing left in the request body, so the argument used is the empty string.

  5. The handler for @RequestBody reads the body and binds it to the parameter. The handler for @RequestParam can then get the request parameter from the URL query string.

  6. The handler for @RequestParam reads from both the body and the URL query String. It would usually put them in a Map, but since the parameter is of type String, Spring will serialize the Map as comma separated values. The handler for @RequestBody then, again, has nothing left to read from the body.

Using the rJava package on Win7 64 bit with R

The last question has an easy answer:

> .Machine$sizeof.pointer
[1] 8

Meaning I am running R64. If I were running 32 bit R it would return 4. Just because you are running a 64 bit OS does not mean you will be running 64 bit R, and from the error message it appears you are not.

EDIT: If the package has binaries, then they are in separate directories. The specifics will depend on the OS. Notice that your LoadLibrary error occurred when it attempted to find the dll in ...rJava/libs/x64/... On my MacOS system the ...rJava/libs/...` folder has 3 subdirectories: i386, ppc, and x86_64. (The ppc files are obviously useless baggage.)

How to show the last queries executed on MySQL?

You can enable a general query log for that sort of diagnostic. Generally you don't log all SELECT queries on a production server though, it's a performance killer.

Edit your MySQL config, e.g. /etc/mysql/my.cnf - look for, or add, a line like this

[mysqld]
log = /var/log/mysql/mysql.log

Restart mysql to pick up that change, now you can

tail -f /var/log/mysql/mysql.log

Hey presto, you can watch the queries as they come in.

Excel: replace part of cell's string value

What you need to do is as follows:

  1. List item
  2. Select the entire column by clicking once on the corresponding letter or by simply selecting the cells with your mouse.
  3. Press Ctrl+H.
  4. You are now in the "Find and Replace" dialog. Write "Author" in the "Find what" text box.
  5. Write "Authoring" in the "Replace with" text box.
  6. Click the "Replace All" button.

That's it!

Can't append <script> element

What do you mean "not working"?

jQuery detects that you're trying to create a SCRIPT element and will automatically run the contents of the element within the global context. Are you telling me that this doesn't work for you? -

$('#someElement').append('<script>alert("WORKING");</script>');

Edit: If you're not seeing the SCRIPT element in the DOM (in Firebug for example) after you run the command that's because jQuery, like I said, will run the code and then will delete the SCRIPT element - I believe that SCRIPT elements are always appended to the body... but anyway - placement has absolutely no bearing on code execution in this situation.

Inserting created_at data with Laravel

In your User model, add the following line in the User class:

public $timestamps = true;

Now, whenever you save or update a user, Laravel will automatically update the created_at and updated_at fields.


Update:
If you want to set the created at manually you should use the date format Y-m-d H:i:s. The problem is that the format you have used is not the same as Laravel uses for the created_at field.

Update: Nov 2018 Laravel 5.6 "message": "Access level to App\\Note::$timestamps must be public", Make sure you have the proper access level as well. Laravel 5.6 is public.

How to draw polygons on an HTML5 canvas?

Here is a function that even supports clockwise/anticlockwise drawing do that you control fills with the non-zero winding rule.

Here is a full article on how it works and more.

// Defines a path for any regular polygon with the specified number of sides and radius, 
// centered on the provide x and y coordinates.
// optional parameters: startAngle and anticlockwise

function polygon(ctx, x, y, radius, sides, startAngle, anticlockwise) {
  if (sides < 3) return;
  var a = (Math.PI * 2)/sides;
  a = anticlockwise?-a:a;
  ctx.save();
  ctx.translate(x,y);
  ctx.rotate(startAngle);
  ctx.moveTo(radius,0);
  for (var i = 1; i < sides; i++) {
    ctx.lineTo(radius*Math.cos(a*i),radius*Math.sin(a*i));
  }
  ctx.closePath();
  ctx.restore();
}

// Example using the function.
// Define a path in the shape of a pentagon and then fill and stroke it.
context.beginPath();
polygon(context,125,125,100,5,-Math.PI/2);
context.fillStyle="rgba(227,11,93,0.75)";
context.fill();
context.stroke();

Best way to alphanumeric check in JavaScript

You don't need to do it one at a time. Just do a test for any that are not alpha-numeric. If one is found, the validation fails.

function validateCode(){
    var TCode = document.getElementById('TCode').value;
    if( /[^a-zA-Z0-9]/.test( TCode ) ) {
       alert('Input is not alphanumeric');
       return false;
    }
    return true;     
 }

If there's at least one match of a non alpha numeric, it will return false.

How can I process each letter of text using Javascript?

It's probably more than solved. Just want to contribute with another simple solution:

var text = 'uololooo';

// With ES6
[...text].forEach(c => console.log(c))

// With the `of` operator
for (const c of text) {
    console.log(c)
}

// With ES5
for (var x = 0, c=''; c = text.charAt(x); x++) { 
    console.log(c); 
}

// ES5 without the for loop:
text.split('').forEach(function(c) {
    console.log(c);
});

Why do we need the "finally" clause in Python?

Finally can also be used when you want to run "optional" code before running the code for your main work and that optional code may fail for various reasons.

In the following example, we don't know precisely what kind of exceptions store_some_debug_info might throw.

We could run:

try:
  store_some_debug_info()
except Exception:
  pass
do_something_really_important() 

But, most linters will complain about catching too vague of an exception. Also, since we're choosing to just pass for errors, the except block doesn't really add value.

try:
  store_some_debug_info()
finally:
  do_something_really_important()     

The above code has the same effect as the 1st block of code but is more concise.

How to POST URL in data of a curl request

Perhaps you don't have to include the single quotes:

curl --request POST 'http://localhost/Service' --data "path=/xyz/pqr/test/&fileName=1.doc"

Update: Reading curl's manual, you could actually separate both fields with two --data:

curl --request POST 'http://localhost/Service' --data "path=/xyz/pqr/test/" --data "fileName=1.doc"

You could also try --data-binary:

curl --request POST 'http://localhost/Service' --data-binary "path=/xyz/pqr/test/" --data-binary "fileName=1.doc"

And --data-urlencode:

curl --request POST 'http://localhost/Service' --data-urlencode "path=/xyz/pqr/test/" --data-urlencode "fileName=1.doc"

How do I convert Word files to PDF programmatically?

I went through the Word to PDF pain when someone dumped me with 10000 word files to convert to PDF. Now I did it in C# and used Word interop but it was slow and crashed if I tried to use PC at all.. very frustrating.

This lead me to discovering I could dump interops and their slowness..... for Excel I use (EPPLUS) and then I discovered that you can get a free tool called Spire that allows converting to PDF... with limitations!

Force flex item to span full row width

When you want a flex item to occupy an entire row, set it to width: 100% or flex-basis: 100%, and enable wrap on the container.

The item now consumes all available space. Siblings are forced on to other rows.

_x000D_
_x000D_
.parent {
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
}

#range, #text {
  flex: 1;
}

.error {
  flex: 0 0 100%; /* flex-grow, flex-shrink, flex-basis */
  border: 1px dashed black;
}
_x000D_
<div class="parent">
  <input type="range" id="range">
  <input type="text" id="text">
  <label class="error">Error message (takes full width)</label>
</div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

More info: The initial value of the flex-wrap property is nowrap, which means that all items will line up in a row. MDN

How to customize the background color of a UITableViewCell?

This is really simple, since OS 3.0 just set the background color of the cell in the willDisplayCell method. You must not set the color in the cellForRowAtIndexPath.

This works for both the plain and grouped style :

Code:

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
    cell.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
}

P.S: Here the documentation extract for willDisplayCell :

"A table view sends this message to its delegate just before it uses cell to draw a row, thereby permitting the delegate to customize the cell object before it is displayed. This method gives the delegate a chance to override state-based properties set earlier by the table view, such as selection and background color. After the delegate returns, the table view sets only the alpha and frame properties, and then only when animating rows as they slide in or out."

I've found this information in this post from colionel. Thank him!

In Java, can you modify a List while iterating through it?

Use Java 8's removeIf(),

To remove safely,

letters.removeIf(x -> !x.equals("A"));

How to define optional methods in Swift protocol?

Here is a concrete example with the delegation pattern.

Setup your Protocol:

@objc protocol MyProtocol:class
{
    func requiredMethod()
    optional func optionalMethod()
}

class MyClass: NSObject
{
    weak var delegate:MyProtocol?

    func callDelegate()
    {
        delegate?.requiredMethod()
        delegate?.optionalMethod?()
    }
}

Set the delegate to a class and implement the Protocol. See that the optional method does not need to be implemented.

class AnotherClass: NSObject, MyProtocol
{
    init()
    {
        super.init()

        let myInstance = MyClass()
        myInstance.delegate = self
    }

    func requiredMethod()
    {
    }
}

One important thing is that the optional method is optional and needs a "?" when calling. Mention the second question mark.

delegate?.optionalMethod?()

Mix Razor and Javascript code

A non conventional method to separate javascript from the view, but still use razor in it is to make a Scripts.cshtml file and place your mixed javascript/razor there.

Index.cshtml

<div id="Result">
</div>

<button id="btnLoad">Click me</button>

@section scripts
{
    @Html.Partial("Scripts")
}

Scripts.cshtml

<script type="text/javascript">
    var url = "@Url.Action("Index", "Home")";

    $(document).ready(function() {
        $("#btnLoad").click(function() {
            $.ajax({
                type: "POST",
                url: url ,
                data: {someParameter: "some value"},
                contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
                dataType: "json",

                success: function(msg) {
                    $("#Result").text(msg.d);
                }
            });
        });
    });
</script>

Having the output of a console application in Visual Studio instead of the console

It's time to check the latest release/s for Visual Studio, folks. The most suggested solution that did not work for some of you before might work now.

In Visual Studio 2017 (Release Version 15.4.2 and above), going to Tools > Options > Debugging > General > (Check Box) Redirect all Output Window text to Immediate Window has worked for me.

Few Notes:

  1. To see the Immediate Window, make sure that you are in Debugging mode.
  2. There should now be 3 other debugging tools available at your disposal, namely, Call Stack, Breakpoints, and Command Window, as shown below:

Can I delete a git commit but keep the changes?

For those using zsh, you'll have to use the following:

git reset --soft HEAD\^

Explained here: https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/issues/449

In case the URL becomes dead, the important part is:

Escape the ^ in your command

You can alternatively can use HEAD~ so that you don't have to escape it each time.

.bashrc: Permission denied

The .bashrc file is in your user home directory (~/.bashrc or ~vagrant/.bashrc both resolve to the same path), inside the VM's filesystem. This file is invisible on the host machine, so you can't use any Windows editors to edit it directly.

You have two simple choices:

  1. Learn how to use a console-based text editor. My favourite is vi (or vim), which takes 15 minutes to learn the basics and is much quicker for simple edits than anything else.

    vi .bashrc

  2. Copy .bashrc out to /vagrant (which is a shared directory) and edit it using your Windows editors. Make sure not to save it back with any extensions.

    cp .bashrc /vagrant ... edit using your host machine ... cp /vagrant/.bashrc .

I'd recommend getting to know the command-line based editors. Once you're working inside the VM, it's best to stay there as otherwise you might just get confused.

You (the vagrant user) are the owner of your home .bashrc so you do have permissions to edit it.

Once edited, you can execute it by typing source .bashrc I prefer to logout and in again (there may be more than one file executed on login).

Python dictionary replace values

via dict.update() function

In case you need a declarative solution, you can use dict.update() to change values in a dict.

Either like this:

my_dict.update({'key1': 'value1', 'key2': 'value2'})

or like this:

my_dict.update(key1='value1', key2='value2')

via dictionary unpacking

Since Python 3.5 you can also use dictionary unpacking for this:

my_dict = { **my_dict, 'key1': 'value1', 'key2': 'value2'}

Note: This creates a new dictionary.

via merge operator or update operator

Since Python 3.9 you can also use the merge operator on dictionaries:

my_dict = my_dict | {'key1': 'value1', 'key2': 'value2'}

Note: This creates a new dictionary.

Or you can use the update operator:

my_dict |= {'key1': 'value1', 'key2': 'value2'}

How to provide a file download from a JSF backing bean?

Introduction

You can get everything through ExternalContext. In JSF 1.x, you can get the raw HttpServletResponse object by ExternalContext#getResponse(). In JSF 2.x, you can use the bunch of new delegate methods like ExternalContext#getResponseOutputStream() without the need to grab the HttpServletResponse from under the JSF hoods.

On the response, you should set the Content-Type header so that the client knows which application to associate with the provided file. And, you should set the Content-Length header so that the client can calculate the download progress, otherwise it will be unknown. And, you should set the Content-Disposition header to attachment if you want a Save As dialog, otherwise the client will attempt to display it inline. Finally just write the file content to the response output stream.

Most important part is to call FacesContext#responseComplete() to inform JSF that it should not perform navigation and rendering after you've written the file to the response, otherwise the end of the response will be polluted with the HTML content of the page, or in older JSF versions, you will get an IllegalStateException with a message like getoutputstream() has already been called for this response when the JSF implementation calls getWriter() to render HTML.

Turn off ajax / don't use remote command!

You only need to make sure that the action method is not called by an ajax request, but that it is called by a normal request as you fire with <h:commandLink> and <h:commandButton>. Ajax requests and remote commands are handled by JavaScript which in turn has, due to security reasons, no facilities to force a Save As dialogue with the content of the ajax response.

In case you're using e.g. PrimeFaces <p:commandXxx>, then you need to make sure that you explicitly turn off ajax via ajax="false" attribute. In case you're using ICEfaces, then you need to nest a <f:ajax disabled="true" /> in the command component.

Generic JSF 2.x example

public void download() throws IOException {
    FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    ExternalContext ec = fc.getExternalContext();

    ec.responseReset(); // Some JSF component library or some Filter might have set some headers in the buffer beforehand. We want to get rid of them, else it may collide.
    ec.setResponseContentType(contentType); // Check http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types for all types. Use if necessary ExternalContext#getMimeType() for auto-detection based on filename.
    ec.setResponseContentLength(contentLength); // Set it with the file size. This header is optional. It will work if it's omitted, but the download progress will be unknown.
    ec.setResponseHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" + fileName + "\""); // The Save As popup magic is done here. You can give it any file name you want, this only won't work in MSIE, it will use current request URL as file name instead.

    OutputStream output = ec.getResponseOutputStream();
    // Now you can write the InputStream of the file to the above OutputStream the usual way.
    // ...

    fc.responseComplete(); // Important! Otherwise JSF will attempt to render the response which obviously will fail since it's already written with a file and closed.
}

Generic JSF 1.x example

public void download() throws IOException {
    FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse) fc.getExternalContext().getResponse();

    response.reset(); // Some JSF component library or some Filter might have set some headers in the buffer beforehand. We want to get rid of them, else it may collide.
    response.setContentType(contentType); // Check http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types for all types. Use if necessary ServletContext#getMimeType() for auto-detection based on filename.
    response.setContentLength(contentLength); // Set it with the file size. This header is optional. It will work if it's omitted, but the download progress will be unknown.
    response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" + fileName + "\""); // The Save As popup magic is done here. You can give it any file name you want, this only won't work in MSIE, it will use current request URL as file name instead.

    OutputStream output = response.getOutputStream();
    // Now you can write the InputStream of the file to the above OutputStream the usual way.
    // ...

    fc.responseComplete(); // Important! Otherwise JSF will attempt to render the response which obviously will fail since it's already written with a file and closed.
}

Common static file example

In case you need to stream a static file from the local disk file system, substitute the code as below:

File file = new File("/path/to/file.ext");
String fileName = file.getName();
String contentType = ec.getMimeType(fileName); // JSF 1.x: ((ServletContext) ec.getContext()).getMimeType(fileName);
int contentLength = (int) file.length();

// ...

Files.copy(file.toPath(), output);

Common dynamic file example

In case you need to stream a dynamically generated file, such as PDF or XLS, then simply provide output there where the API being used expects an OutputStream.

E.g. iText PDF:

String fileName = "dynamic.pdf";
String contentType = "application/pdf";

// ...

Document document = new Document();
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, output);
document.open();
// Build PDF content here.
document.close();

E.g. Apache POI HSSF:

String fileName = "dynamic.xls";
String contentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel";

// ...

HSSFWorkbook workbook = new HSSFWorkbook();
// Build XLS content here.
workbook.write(output);
workbook.close();

Note that you cannot set the content length here. So you need to remove the line to set response content length. This is technically no problem, the only disadvantage is that the enduser will be presented an unknown download progress. In case this is important, then you really need to write to a local (temporary) file first and then provide it as shown in previous chapter.

Utility method

If you're using JSF utility library OmniFaces, then you can use one of the three convenient Faces#sendFile() methods taking either a File, or an InputStream, or a byte[], and specifying whether the file should be downloaded as an attachment (true) or inline (false).

public void download() throws IOException {
    Faces.sendFile(file, true);
}

Yes, this code is complete as-is. You don't need to invoke responseComplete() and so on yourself. This method also properly deals with IE-specific headers and UTF-8 filenames. You can find source code here.

How to convert DataTable to class Object?

Is it very expensive to do this by json convert? But at least you have a 2 line solution and its generic. It does not matter eather if your datatable contains more or less fields than the object class:

Dim sSql = $"SELECT '{jobID}' AS ConfigNo, 'MainSettings' AS ParamName, VarNm AS ParamFieldName, 1 AS ParamSetId, Val1 AS ParamValue FROM StrSVar WHERE NmSp = '{sAppName} Params {jobID}'"
            Dim dtParameters As DataTable = DBLib.GetDatabaseData(sSql)

            Dim paramListObject As New List(Of ParameterListModel)()

            If (Not dtParameters Is Nothing And dtParameters.Rows.Count > 0) Then
                Dim json = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(dtParameters).ToString()

                paramListObject = Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(Of List(Of ParameterListModel))(json)
            End If

What's the safest way to iterate through the keys of a Perl hash?

I usually use keys and I can't think of the last time I used or read a use of each.

Don't forget about map, depending on what you're doing in the loop!

What is the difference between a JavaBean and a POJO?

In summary: similarities and differences are:

   java beans:                          Pojo:
-must extends serializable              -no need to extends or implement.
 or externalizable.                     
-must have public class .               - must have public class
-must have private instance variables.      -can have any access specifier variables.
-must have public setter and getter method. - may or may not have setter or getter method.
-must have no-arg constructor.           - can have constructor with agruments.

All JAVA Beans are POJO but not all POJOs are JAVA Beans.

Login failed for user 'DOMAIN\MACHINENAME$'

Basically to resolve this we need to have some set up like

  • Web App Running under ApplicationPoolIdentity
  • Web Application connecting to databases through ADO.Net using Windows Authentication in the connection string

The connection string used with Windows authentication include either Trusted_Connection=Yesattribute or the equivalent attribute Integrated Security=SSPI in Web.config file

My database connection is in Windows Authentication mode. So I resolved it by simply changing the Application Pools Identity from ApplicationPoolIdentity to my domain log in credentials DomainName\MyloginId

Step:

  1. Click on Application Pools
  2. Select Name of your application

  3. Go to Advanced Setting

  4. Expand Process Model and click Identity. Click three dot on right end.
  5. Click Set... button and Provide your domain log in credentials

For me it was resolved.

Note: In Production or IT environment, you might have service account under same domain for app pool identity. If so, use service account instead of your login.

ReactJS: setTimeout() not working?

Checking during array iteration, if the current element is the last element

$myarray = array(
  'test1' => 'foo',
  'test2' => 'bar',
  'test3' => 'baz',
  'test4' => 'waldo'
);

$myarray2 = array(
'foo',
'bar',
'baz',
'waldo'
);

// Get the last array_key
$last = array_pop(array_keys($myarray));
foreach($myarray as $key => $value) {
  if($key != $last) {
    echo "$key -> $value\n";
  }
}

// Get the last array_key
$last = array_pop(array_keys($myarray2));
foreach($myarray2 as $key => $value) {
  if($key != $last) {
    echo "$key -> $value\n";
  }
}

Since array_pop works on the temporary array created by array_keys it doesn't modify the original array at all.

$ php test.php
test1 -> foo
test2 -> bar
test3 -> baz
0 -> foo
1 -> bar
2 -> baz

How to run a Runnable thread in Android at defined intervals?

For repeating task you can use

new Timer().scheduleAtFixedRate(task, runAfterADelayForFirstTime, repeaingTimeInterval);

call it like

new Timer().scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask() {
            @Override
            public void run() {

            }
        },500,1000);

The above code will run first time after half second(500) and repeat itself after each second(1000)

Where

task being the method to be executed

after the time to initial execution

(interval the time for repeating the execution)

Secondly

And you can also use CountDownTimer if you want to execute a Task number of times.

    new CountDownTimer(40000, 1000) { //40000 milli seconds is total time, 1000 milli seconds is time interval

     public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
      }
      public void onFinish() {
     }
    }.start();

//Above codes run 40 times after each second

And you can also do it with runnable. create a runnable method like

Runnable runnable = new Runnable()
    {
        @Override
        public void run()
        {

        }
    };

And call it in both these ways

new Handler().postDelayed(runnable, 500 );//where 500 is delayMillis  // to work on mainThread

OR

new Thread(runnable).start();//to work in Background 

How to hide Table Row Overflow?

Need to specify two attributes, table-layout:fixed on table and white-space:nowrap; on the cells. You also need to move the overflow:hidden; to the cells too

table { width:250px;table-layout:fixed; }
table tr { height:1em;  }
td { overflow:hidden;white-space:nowrap;  } 

Here's a Demo . Tested in Firefox 3.5.3 and IE 7

How to extract this specific substring in SQL Server?

An alternative to the answer provided by @Marc

SELECT SUBSTRING(LEFT(YOUR_FIELD, CHARINDEX('[', YOUR_FIELD) - 1), CHARINDEX(';', YOUR_FIELD) + 1, 100)
FROM YOUR_TABLE
WHERE CHARINDEX('[', YOUR_FIELD) > 0 AND
    CHARINDEX(';', YOUR_FIELD) > 0;

This makes sure the delimiters exist, and solves an issue with the currently accepted answer where doing the LEFT last is working with the position of the last delimiter in the original string, rather than the revised substring.

Parse Json string in C#

What you are trying to deserialize to a Dictionary is actually a Javascript object serialized to JSON. In Javascript, you can use this object as an associative array, but really it's an object, as far as the JSON standard is concerned.

So you would have no problem deserializing what you have with a standard JSON serializer (like the .net ones, DataContractJsonSerializer and JavascriptSerializer) to an object (with members called AppName, AnotherAppName, etc), but to actually interpret this as a dictionary you'll need a serializer that goes further than the Json spec, which doesn't have anything about Dictionaries as far as I know.

One such example is the one everybody uses: JSON .net

There is an other solution if you don't want to use an external lib, which is to convert your Javascript object to a list before serializing it to JSON.

var myList = [];
$.each(myObj, function(key, value) { myList.push({Key:key, Value:value}) });

now if you serialize myList to a JSON object, you should be capable of deserializing to a List<KeyValuePair<string, ValueDescription>> with any of the aforementioned serializers. That list would then be quite obvious to convert to a dictionary.

Note: ValueDescription being this class:

public class ValueDescription
{
    public string Description { get; set; }
    public string Value { get; set; }
}

Tar archiving that takes input from a list of files

How to pass a list from Python, by Jinja2 to JavaScript

To pass some context data to javascript code, you have to serialize it in a way it will be "understood" by javascript (namely JSON). You also need to mark it as safe using the safe Jinja filter, to prevent your data from being htmlescaped.

You can achieve this by doing something like that:

The view

import json

@app.route('/')
def my_view():
    data = [1, 'foo']
    return render_template('index.html', data=json.dumps(data))

The template

<script type="text/javascript">
    function test_func(data) {
        console.log(data);
    }
    test_func({{ data|safe }})
</script>

Edit - exact answer

So, to achieve exactly what you want (loop over a list of items, and pass them to a javascript function), you'd need to serialize every item in your list separately. Your code would then look like this:

The view

import json

@app.route('/')
def my_view():
    data = [1, "foo"]
    return render_template('index.html', data=map(json.dumps, data))

The template

{% for item in data %}
    <span onclick=someFunction({{ item|safe }});>{{ item }}</span>
{% endfor %}

Edit 2

In my example, I use Flask, I don't know what framework you're using, but you got the idea, you just have to make it fit the framework you use.

Edit 3 (Security warning)

NEVER EVER DO THIS WITH USER-SUPPLIED DATA, ONLY DO THIS WITH TRUSTED DATA!

Otherwise, you would expose your application to XSS vulnerabilities!

How to reset db in Django? I get a command 'reset' not found error

How do I get the localhost name in PowerShell?

All above questions are correct but if you want the hostname and domain name try this:

 [System.Net.DNS]::GetHostByName('').HostName

GCC -fPIC option

The link to a function in a dynamic library is resolved when the library is loaded or at run time. Therefore, both the executable file and dynamic library are loaded into memory when the program is run. The memory address at which a dynamic library is loaded cannot be determined in advance, because a fixed address might clash with another dynamic library requiring the same address.


There are two commonly used methods for dealing with this problem:

1.Relocation. All pointers and addresses in the code are modified, if necessary, to fit the actual load address. Relocation is done by the linker and the loader.

2.Position-independent code. All addresses in the code are relative to the current position. Shared objects in Unix-like systems use position-independent code by default. This is less efficient than relocation if program run for a long time, especially in 32-bit mode.


The name "position-independent code" actually implies following:

  • The code section contains no absolute addresses that need relocation, but only self relative addresses. Therefore, the code section can be loaded at an arbitrary memory address and shared between multiple processes.

  • The data section is not shared between multiple processes because it often contains writeable data. Therefore, the data section may contain pointers or addresses that need relocation.

  • All public functions and public data can be overridden in Linux. If a function in the main executable has the same name as a function in a shared object, then the version in main will take precedence, not only when called from main, but also when called from the shared object. Likewise, when a global variable in main has the same name as a global variable in the shared object, then the instance in main will be used, even when accessed from the shared object.


This so-called symbol interposition is intended to mimic the behavior of static libraries.

A shared object has a table of pointers to its functions, called procedure linkage table (PLT) and a table of pointers to its variables called global offset table (GOT) in order to implement this "override" feature. All accesses to functions and public variables go through this tables.

p.s. Where dynamic linking cannot be avoided, there are various ways to avoid the timeconsuming features of the position-independent code.

Android Linear Layout - How to Keep Element At Bottom Of View?

You should put the parameter gravity to bottom not in the textview but in the Linear Layout. Like this:

<LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:gravity="bottom|end">
    <TextView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Something"/>
</LinearLayout>

What is the => assignment in C# in a property signature

This is a new feature of C# 6 called an expression bodied member that allows you to define a getter only property using a lambda like function.

While it is considered syntactic sugar for the following, they may not produce identical IL:

public int MaxHealth
{
    get
    {
        return Memory[Address].IsValid
               ?   Memory[Address].Read<int>(Offs.Life.MaxHp)
               :   0;
    }
}

It turns out that if you compile both versions of the above and compare the IL generated for each you'll see that they are NEARLY the same.

Here is the IL for the classic version in this answer when defined in a class named TestClass:

.property instance int32 MaxHealth()
{
    .get instance int32 TestClass::get_MaxHealth()
}

.method public hidebysig specialname 
    instance int32 get_MaxHealth () cil managed 
{
    // Method begins at RVA 0x2458
    // Code size 71 (0x47)
    .maxstack 2
    .locals init (
        [0] int32
    )

    IL_0043: br.s IL_0045

    IL_0045: ldloc.0
    IL_0046: ret

And here is the IL for the expression bodied member version when defined in a class named TestClass:

.property instance int32 MaxHealth()
{
    .get instance int32 TestClass::get_MaxHealth()
}

.method public hidebysig specialname 
    instance int32 get_MaxHealth () cil managed

Spring RequestMapping for controllers that produce and consume JSON

There are 2 annotations in Spring: @RequestBody and @ResponseBody. These annotations consumes, respectively produces JSONs. Some more info here.

Subset of rows containing NA (missing) values in a chosen column of a data frame

complete.cases gives TRUE when all values in a row are not NA

DF[!complete.cases(DF), ]

getting " (1) no such column: _id10 " error

I think you missed a equal sign at:

Cursor c = ourDatabase.query(DATABASE_TABLE, column, KEY_ROWID + "" + l, null, null, null, null);  

Change to:

Cursor c = ourDatabase.query(DATABASE_TABLE, column, KEY_ROWID + " = " + l, null, null, null, null); 

AngularJS/javascript converting a date String to date object

This is what I did on the controller

var collectionDate = '2002-04-26T09:00:00';
var date = new Date(collectionDate);
//then pushed all my data into an array $scope.rows which I then used in the directive

I ended up formatting the date to my desired pattern on the directive as follows.

var data = new google.visualization.DataTable();
                    data.addColumn('date', 'Dates');
                    data.addColumn('number', 'Upper Normal');
                    data.addColumn('number', 'Result');
                    data.addColumn('number', 'Lower Normal');
                    data.addRows(scope.rows);
                    var formatDate = new google.visualization.DateFormat({pattern: "dd/MM/yyyy"});
                    formatDate.format(data, 0);
//set options for the line chart
var options = {'hAxis': format: 'dd/MM/yyyy'}

//Instantiate and draw the chart passing in options
var chart = new google.visualization.LineChart($elm[0]);
                    chart.draw(data, options);

This gave me dates ain the format of dd/MM/yyyy (26/04/2002) on the x axis of the chart.

python : list index out of range error while iteratively popping elements

You are reducing the length of your list l as you iterate over it, so as you approach the end of your indices in the range statement, some of those indices are no longer valid.

It looks like what you want to do is:

l = [x for x in l if x != 0]

which will return a copy of l without any of the elements that were zero (that operation is called a list comprehension, by the way). You could even shorten that last part to just if x, since non-zero numbers evaluate to True.

There is no such thing as a loop termination condition of i < len(l), in the way you've written the code, because len(l) is precalculated before the loop, not re-evaluated on each iteration. You could write it in such a way, however:

i = 0
while i < len(l):
   if l[i] == 0:
       l.pop(i)
   else:
       i += 1

Python: Tuples/dictionaries as keys, select, sort

Personally, one of the things I love about python is the tuple-dict combination. What you have here is effectively a 2d array (where x = fruit name and y = color), and I am generally a supporter of the dict of tuples for implementing 2d arrays, at least when something like numpy or a database isn't more appropriate. So in short, I think you've got a good approach.

Note that you can't use dicts as keys in a dict without doing some extra work, so that's not a very good solution.

That said, you should also consider namedtuple(). That way you could do this:

>>> from collections import namedtuple
>>> Fruit = namedtuple("Fruit", ["name", "color"])
>>> f = Fruit(name="banana", color="red")
>>> print f
Fruit(name='banana', color='red')
>>> f.name
'banana'
>>> f.color
'red'

Now you can use your fruitcount dict:

>>> fruitcount = {Fruit("banana", "red"):5}
>>> fruitcount[f]
5

Other tricks:

>>> fruits = fruitcount.keys()
>>> fruits.sort()
>>> print fruits
[Fruit(name='apple', color='green'), 
 Fruit(name='apple', color='red'), 
 Fruit(name='banana', color='blue'), 
 Fruit(name='strawberry', color='blue')]
>>> fruits.sort(key=lambda x:x.color)
>>> print fruits
[Fruit(name='banana', color='blue'), 
 Fruit(name='strawberry', color='blue'), 
 Fruit(name='apple', color='green'), 
 Fruit(name='apple', color='red')]

Echoing chmullig, to get a list of all colors of one fruit, you would have to filter the keys, i.e.

bananas = [fruit for fruit in fruits if fruit.name=='banana']

How can I open multiple files using "with open" in Python?

Since Python 3.3, you can use the class ExitStack from the contextlib module to safely
open an arbitrary number of files.

It can manage a dynamic number of context-aware objects, which means that it will prove especially useful if you don't know how many files you are going to handle.

In fact, the canonical use-case that is mentioned in the documentation is managing a dynamic number of files.

with ExitStack() as stack:
    files = [stack.enter_context(open(fname)) for fname in filenames]
    # All opened files will automatically be closed at the end of
    # the with statement, even if attempts to open files later
    # in the list raise an exception

If you are interested in the details, here is a generic example in order to explain how ExitStack operates:

from contextlib import ExitStack

class X:
    num = 1

    def __init__(self):
        self.num = X.num
        X.num += 1

    def __repr__(self):
        cls = type(self)
        return '{cls.__name__}{self.num}'.format(cls=cls, self=self)

    def __enter__(self):
        print('enter {!r}'.format(self))
        return self.num

    def __exit__(self, exc_type, exc_value, traceback):
        print('exit {!r}'.format(self))
        return True

xs = [X() for _ in range(3)]

with ExitStack() as stack:
    print(len(stack._exit_callbacks)) # number of callbacks called on exit
    nums = [stack.enter_context(x) for x in xs]
    print(len(stack._exit_callbacks))

print(len(stack._exit_callbacks))
print(nums)

Output:

0
enter X1
enter X2
enter X3
3
exit X3
exit X2
exit X1
0
[1, 2, 3]

Check if an element is a child of a parent

If you have an element that does not have a specific selector and you still want to check if it is a descendant of another element, you can use jQuery.contains()

jQuery.contains( container, contained )
Description: Check to see if a DOM element is a descendant of another DOM element.

You can pass the parent element and the element that you want to check to that function and it returns if the latter is a descendant of the first.

Exit a Script On Error

Here is the way to do it:

#!/bin/sh

abort()
{
    echo >&2 '

***************
'
    echo "An error occurred. Exiting..." >&2
    exit 1
}

trap 'abort' 0

set -e

# Add your script below....
# If an error occurs, the abort() function will be called.
#----------------------------------------------------------
# ===> Your script goes here
# Done!
trap : 0

echo >&2 '
************
*** DONE ***

jquery disable form submit on enter

If keyCode is not caught, catch which:

$('#formid').on('keyup keypress', function(e) {
  var keyCode = e.keyCode || e.which;
  if (keyCode === 13) { 
    e.preventDefault();
    return false;
  }
});

EDIT: missed it, it's better to use keyup instead of keypress

EDIT 2: As in some newer versions of Firefox the form submission is not prevented, it's safer to add the keypress event to the form as well. Also it doesn't work (anymore?) by just binding the event to the form "name" but only to the form id. Therefore I made this more obvious by changing the code example appropriately.

EDIT 3: Changed bind() to on()

Recommended SQL database design for tags or tagging

If you are using a database that supports map-reduce, like couchdb, storing tags in a plain text field or list field is indeed the best way. Example:

tagcloud: {
  map: function(doc){ 
    for(tag in doc.tags){ 
      emit(doc.tags[tag],1) 
    }
  }
  reduce: function(keys,values){
    return values.length
  }
}

Running this with group=true will group the results by tag name, and even return a count of the number of times that tag was encountered. It's very similar to counting the occurrences of a word in text.

How to check if a date is in a given range?

It's not necessary to convert to timestamp to do the comparison, given that the strings are validated as dates in 'YYYY-MM-DD' canonical format.

This test will work:

( ( $date_from_user >= $start_date ) && ( $date_from_user <= $end_date ) )

given:

$start_date     = '2009-06-17';
$end_date       = '2009-09-05';
$date_from_user = '2009-08-28';

NOTE: Comparing strings like this does allow for "non-valid" dates e.g. (December 32nd ) '2009-13-32' and for weirdly formatted strings '2009/3/3', such that a string comparison will NOT be equivalent to a date or timestamp comparison. This works ONLY if the date values in the strings are in a CONSISTENT and CANONICAL format.

EDIT to add a note here, elaborating on the obvious.

By CONSISTENT, I mean for example that the strings being compared must be in identical format: the month must always be two characters, the day must always be two characters, and the separator character must always be a dash. We can't reliably compare "strings" that aren't four character year, two character month, two character day. If we had a mix of one character and two character months in the strings, for example, we'd get unexpected result when we compared, '2009-9-30' to '2009-10-11'. We humanly see "9" as being less than "10", but a string comparison will see '2009-9' as greater than '2009-1'. We don't necessarily need to have a dash separator characters; we could just as reliably compare strings in 'YYYYMMDD' format; if there is a separator character, it has to always be there and always be the same.

By CANONICAL, I mean that a format that will result in strings that will be sorted in date order. That is, the string will have a representation of "year" first, then "month", then "day". We can't reliably compare strings in 'MM-DD-YYYY' format, because that's not canonical. A string comparison would compare the MM (month) before it compared YYYY (year) since the string comparison works from left to right.) A big benefit of the 'YYYY-MM-DD' string format is that it is canonical; dates represented in this format can reliably be compared as strings.

[ADDENDUM]

If you do go for the php timestamp conversion, be aware of the limitations.

On some platforms, php does not support timestamp values earlier than 1970-01-01 and/or later than 2038-01-19. (That's the nature of the unix timestamp 32-bit integer.) Later versions pf php (5.3?) are supposed to address that.

The timezone can also be an issue, if you aren't careful to use the same timezone when converting from string to timestamp and from timestamp back to string.

PivotTable's Report Filter using "greater than"

I know this is a bit late, but if this helps anybody, I think you could add a column to your data that calculates if the probability is ">='PivotSheet'$D$2" (reference a cell on the pivot table sheet).

Then, add that column to your pivot table and use the new column as a true/false filter.

You can then change the value stored in the referenced cell to update your probability threshold.

If I understood your question right, this may get you what you wanted. The filter value would be displayed on the sheet with the pivot and can be changed to suit any quick changes to your probability threshold. The T/F Filter can be labeled "Above/At Probability Threshold" or something like that.

I've used this to do something similar. It was handy to have the cell reference on the Pivot table sheet so I could update the value and refresh the pivot to quickly modify the results. The people I did that for couldn't make up their minds on what that threshold should be.

How do I fix 'Invalid character value for cast specification' on a date column in flat file?

In order to simulate the issue that you are facing, I created the following sample using SSIS 2008 R2 with SQL Server 2008 R2 backend. The example is based on what I gathered from your question. This example doesn't provide a solution but it might help you to identify where the problem could be in your case.

Created a simple CSV file with two columns namely order number and order date. As you had mentioned in your question, values of both the columns are qualified with double quotes (") and also the lines end with Line Feed (\n) with the date being the last column. The below screenshot was taken using Notepad++, which can display the special characters in a file. LF in the screenshot denotes Line Feed.

Orders file

Created a simple table named dbo.Destination in the SQL Server database to populate the CSV file data using SSIS package. Create script for the table is given below.

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Destination](
    [OrderNumber] [varchar](50) NULL,
    [OrderDate] [date] NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO

On the SSIS package, I created two connection managers. SQLServer was created using the OLE DB Connection to connect to the SQL Server database. FlatFile is a flat file connection manager.

Connections

Flat file connection manager was configured to read the CSV file and the settings are shown below. The red arrows indicate the changes made.

Provided a name to the flat file connection manager. Browsed to the location of the CSV file and selected the file path. Entered the double quote (") as the text qualifier. Changed the Header row delimiter from {CR}{LF} to {LF}. This header row delimiter change also reflects on the Columns section.

Flat File General

No changes were made in the Columns section.

Flat File Columns

Changed the column name from Column0 to OrderNumber.

Advanced column OrderNumber

Changed the column name from Column1 to OrderDate and also changed the data type to date [DT_DATE]

Advanced column OrderDate

Preview of the data within the flat file connection manager looks good.

Data Preview

On the Control Flow tab of the SSIS package, placed a Data Flow Task.

Control Flow

Within the Data Flow Task, placed a Flat File Source and an OLE DB Destination.

Data Flow Task

The Flat File Source was configured to read the CSV file data using the FlatFile connection manager. Below three screenshots show how the flat file source component was configured.

Flat File Source Connection Manager

Flat File Source Columns

Flat File Source Error Output

The OLE DB Destination component was configured to accept the data from Flat File Source and insert it into SQL Server database table named dbo.Destination. Below three screenshots show how the OLE DB Destination component was configured.

Using the steps mentioned in the below 5 screenshots, I added a data viewer on the flow between the Flat File Source and OLE DB Destination.

Before running the package, I verified the initial data present in the table. It is currently empty because I created this using the script provided at the beginning of this post.

Empty Table

Executed the package and the package execution temporarily paused to display the data flowing from Flat File Source to OLE DB Destination in the data viewer. I clicked on the run button to proceed with the execution.

Data Viewer Pause

The package executed successfully.

Successful execution

Flat file source data was inserted successfully into the table dbo.Destination.

Data in table

Here is the layout of the table dbo.Destination. As you can see, the field OrderDate is of data type date and the package still continued to insert the data correctly.

This post even though is not a solution. Hopefully helps you to find out where the problem could be in your scenario.

  position:absolute;
  width:50px;
  left: 0;
  right: 0;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

You might also want to set position: relative for #header.

This works because, setting left and right to zero will horizontally stretch the absolutely positioned element. Now magic happens when margin is set to auto. margin takes up all the extra space(equally on each side) leaving the content to its specified width. This results in content becoming center aligned.

How to apply slide animation between two activities in Android?

Slide animation can be applied to activity transitions by calling overridePendingTransition and passing animation resources for enter and exit activities.

Slide animations can be slid right, slide left, slide up and slide down.

Slide up

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:interpolator="@android:anim/linear_interpolator">
    <scale
        android:duration="800"
        android:fromXScale="1.0"
        android:fromYScale="1.0"
        android:toXScale="1.0"
        android:toYScale="0.0" />
</set>

Slide down

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<set xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:interpolator="@android:anim/linear_interpolator">
    <scale
        android:duration="800"
        android:fromXScale="1.0"
        android:fromYScale="0.0"
        android:toXScale="1.0"
        android:toYScale="1.0" />
</set>

overridePendingTransition(R.anim.slide_down, R.anim.slide_up);

Add image in pdf using jspdf

No need to add any extra base64 library. Simple 5 line solution -

var img = new Image();
img.src = path.resolve('sample.jpg');

var doc = new jsPDF('p', 'mm', 'a3');  // optional parameters
doc.addImage(img, 'JPEG', 1, 2);
doc.save("new.pdf");

The property 'value' does not exist on value of type 'HTMLElement'

If you are using react you can use the as operator.

let inputValue = (document.getElementById(elementId) as HTMLInputElement).value;

Timer function to provide time in nano seconds using C++

With that level of accuracy, it would be better to reason in CPU tick rather than in system call like clock(). And do not forget that if it takes more than one nanosecond to execute an instruction... having a nanosecond accuracy is pretty much impossible.

Still, something like that is a start:

Here's the actual code to retrieve number of 80x86 CPU clock ticks passed since the CPU was last started. It will work on Pentium and above (386/486 not supported). This code is actually MS Visual C++ specific, but can be probably very easy ported to whatever else, as long as it supports inline assembly.

inline __int64 GetCpuClocks()
{

    // Counter
    struct { int32 low, high; } counter;

    // Use RDTSC instruction to get clocks count
    __asm push EAX
    __asm push EDX
    __asm __emit 0fh __asm __emit 031h // RDTSC
    __asm mov counter.low, EAX
    __asm mov counter.high, EDX
    __asm pop EDX
    __asm pop EAX

    // Return result
    return *(__int64 *)(&counter);

}

This function has also the advantage of being extremely fast - it usually takes no more than 50 cpu cycles to execute.

Using the Timing Figures:
If you need to translate the clock counts into true elapsed time, divide the results by your chip's clock speed. Remember that the "rated" GHz is likely to be slightly different from the actual speed of your chip. To check your chip's true speed, you can use several very good utilities or the Win32 call, QueryPerformanceFrequency().

How to resolve git stash conflict without commit?

The fastest way I have found is to resolve the conflict, then do git add -u, and then do git reset HEAD, that doesn't even involve a commit.

PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class

This will happen if we use any of the in built classes in the php library. I used the class name as Directory and I got the same error. If you get error first make sure that the class name you use is not one of the in built classes.

Figure out size of UILabel based on String in Swift

Swift 5:

If you have UILabel and someway boundingRect isn't working for you (I faced this problem. It always returned 1 line height.) there is an extension to easily calculate label size.

extension UILabel {
    func getSize(constrainedWidth: CGFloat) -> CGSize {
        return systemLayoutSizeFitting(CGSize(width: constrainedWidth, height: UIView.layoutFittingCompressedSize.height), withHorizontalFittingPriority: .required, verticalFittingPriority: .fittingSizeLevel)
    }
}

You can use it like this:

let label = UILabel()
label.text = "My text\nIs\nAwesome"
let labelSize = label.getSize(constrainedWidth:200.0)

Migrating from VMWARE to VirtualBox

QEMU has a fantastic utility called qmeu-img that will translate between all manner of disk image formats. An article on this process is at http://thedarkmaster.wordpress.com/2007/03/12/vmware-virtual-machine-to-virtual-box-conversion-how-to/

I recall in my head that I used qemu-img to roll multiple VMDKs into one, but I don't have that computer with me to retest the process. Even if I'm wrong, the article above includes a section that describes how to convert them with your VMWare tools.

Swift: How to get substring from start to last index of character

Here's how I do it. You could do it the same way, or use this code for ideas.

let s = "www.stackoverflow.com"
s.substringWithRange(0..<s.lastIndexOf("."))

Here are the extensions I use:

import Foundation
extension String {

  var length: Int {
    get {
      return countElements(self)
    }
  }

  func indexOf(target: String) -> Int {
    var range = self.rangeOfString(target)
    if let range = range {
      return distance(self.startIndex, range.startIndex)
    } else {
      return -1
    }
  }

  func indexOf(target: String, startIndex: Int) -> Int {
    var startRange = advance(self.startIndex, startIndex)        
    var range = self.rangeOfString(target, options: NSStringCompareOptions.LiteralSearch, range: Range<String.Index>(start: startRange, end: self.endIndex))
    if let range = range {
      return distance(self.startIndex, range.startIndex)
    } else {
      return -1
    }
  }

  func lastIndexOf(target: String) -> Int {
    var index = -1
    var stepIndex = self.indexOf(target)
    while stepIndex > -1 {
      index = stepIndex
      if stepIndex + target.length < self.length {
        stepIndex = indexOf(target, startIndex: stepIndex + target.length)
      } else {
        stepIndex = -1
      }
    }
    return index
  } 

  func substringWithRange(range:Range<Int>) -> String {
    let start = advance(self.startIndex, range.startIndex)
    let end = advance(self.startIndex, range.endIndex)
    return self.substringWithRange(start..<end)
  }

}

How to make sql-mode="NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION" permanent in MySQL my.cnf

Your server may read a different my.cnf than the one you're editing (unless you specified it when starting mysqld).

From the MySQL Certification Study Guide:

The search order includes two general option files, /etc/my.cnf and $MYSQL_HOME/my.cnf. The second file is used only if the MYSQL_HOME environment variable is set. Typically, you seet it to the MySQL installation directory. (The mysqld_safe script attempts to set MYSQL_HOME if it is not set before starting the server.) The option file search order also includes ~/.my.cnf (that is the home directory). This isn't an especially suitable location for server options. (Normally, you invoke the server as mysql, or as root with a --user=mysql option. The user-specific file read by the server would depend on which login account you invoke it from, possibly leading to inconsistent sets of options being used.)

Another possibility is of course, that your sql-mode option gets overwritten further down in the same file. Multiple options have to be separated by , in the same line.

P.S.: And you need the quotes, IIRC. Now that you've tried it without quotes, I'm pretty sure, you're editing the wrong file, since MySQL doesn't start when there's an error in the option file.

P.P.S.: Had a look at my config files again, there it's

[mysqld]
sql_mode = "NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION"

and it's working.

JSON.Net Self referencing loop detected

I just had the same problem with Parent/Child collections and found that post which has solved my case. I Only wanted to show the List of parent collection items and didn't need any of the child data, therefore i used the following and it worked fine:

JsonConvert.SerializeObject(ResultGroups, Formatting.None,
                        new JsonSerializerSettings()
                        { 
                            ReferenceLoopHandling = ReferenceLoopHandling.Ignore
                        });

values.Add("key2", "value2");

string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(values);

How to pass a user / password in ansible command

I used the command

ansible -i inventory example -m ping -u <your_user_name> --ask-pass

And it will ask for your password.

For anyone who gets the error:

to use the 'ssh' connection type with passwords, you must install the sshpass program

On MacOS, you can follow below instructions to install sshpass:

  1. Download the Source Code
  2. Extract it and cd into the directory
  3. ./configure
  4. sudo make install

How to capture Curl output to a file?

For a single file you can use -O instead of -o filename to use the last segment of the URL path as the filename. Example:

curl http://example.com/folder/big-file.iso -O

will save the results to a new file named big-file.iso in the current folder. In this way it works similar to wget but allows you to specify other curl options that are not available when using wget.

How to underline a UILabel in swift?

Underline to multiple strings in a sentence.

extension UILabel {
    func underlineMyText(range1:String, range2:String) {
        if let textString = self.text {

            let str = NSString(string: textString)
            let firstRange = str.range(of: range1)
            let secRange = str.range(of: range2)
            let attributedString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: textString)
            attributedString.addAttribute(NSAttributedString.Key.underlineStyle, value: NSUnderlineStyle.single.rawValue, range: firstRange)
            attributedString.addAttribute(NSAttributedString.Key.underlineStyle, value: NSUnderlineStyle.single.rawValue, range: secRange)
            attributedText = attributedString
        }
    }
}

Use by this way.

    lbl.text = "By continuing you agree to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy."
    lbl.underlineMyText(range1: "Terms of Service", range2: "Privacy Policy.")

Disable/Enable Submit Button until all forms have been filled

I just posted this on Disable Submit button until Input fields filled in. Works for me.

Use the form onsubmit. Nice and clean. You don't have to worry about the change and keypress events firing. Don't have to worry about keyup and focus issues.

http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/event_form_onsubmit.asp

<form action="formpost.php" method="POST" onsubmit="return validateCreditCardForm()">
   ...
</form>

function validateCreditCardForm(){
    var result = false;
    if (($('#billing-cc-exp').val().length > 0) &&
        ($('#billing-cvv').val().length  > 0) &&
        ($('#billing-cc-number').val().length > 0)) {
            result = true;
    }
    return result;
}

Mocking static methods with Mockito

Since that method is static, it already has everything you need to use it, so it defeats the purpose of mocking. Mocking the static methods is considered to be a bad practice.

If you try to do that, it means there is something wrong with the way you want to perform testing.

Of course you can use PowerMockito or any other framework capable of doing that, but try to rethink your approach.

For example: try to mock/provide the objects, which that static method consumes instead.

when exactly are we supposed to use "public static final String"?

You do not have to use final, but the final is making clear to everyone else - including the compiler - that this is a constant, and that's the good practice in it.

Why people doe that even if the constant will be used only in one place and only in the same class: Because in many cases it still makes sense. If you for example know it will be final during program run, but you intend to change the value later and recompile (easier to find), and also might use it more often later-on. It is also informing other programmers about the core values in the program flow at a prominent and combined place.

An aspect the other answers are missing out unfortunately, is that using the combination of public final needs to be done very carefully, especially if other classes or packages will use your class (which can be assumed because it is public).

Here's why:

  1. Because it is declared as final, the compiler will inline this field during compile time into any compilation unit reading this field. So far, so good.
  2. What people tend to forget is, because the field is also declared public, the compiler will also inline this value into any other compile unit. That means other classes using this field.

What are the consequences?

Imagine you have this:

class Foo {
  public static final String VERSION = "1.0";
}

class Bar {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println("I am using version " + Foo.VERSION);
  }
}

After compiling and running Bar, you'll get:

I am using version 1.0

Now, you improve Foo and change the version to "1.1". After recompiling Foo, you run Bar and get this wrong output:

I am using version 1.0

This happens, because VERSION is declared final, so the actual value of it was already in-lined in Bar during the first compile run. As a consequence, to let the example of a public static final ... field propagate properly after actually changing what was declared final (you lied!;), you'd need to recompile every class using it.

I've seen this a couple of times and it is really hard to debug.

If by final you mean a constant that might change in later versions of your program, a better solution would be this:

class Foo {
  private static String version = "1.0";
  public static final String getVersion() {
    return version;
  }
}

The performance penalty of this is negligible, since JIT code generator will inline it at run-time.

Fast way of finding lines in one file that are not in another?

The comm command (short for "common") may be useful comm - compare two sorted files line by line

#find lines only in file1
comm -23 file1 file2 

#find lines only in file2
comm -13 file1 file2 

#find lines common to both files
comm -12 file1 file2 

The man file is actually quite readable for this.

Get a UTC timestamp

As wizzard pointed out, the correct method is,

new Date().getTime();

or under Javascript 1.5, just

Date.now();

From the documentation,

The value returned by the getTime method is the number of milliseconds since 1 January 1970 00:00:00 UTC.

If you wanted to make a time stamp without milliseconds you can use,

Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000);

I wanted to make this an answer so the correct method is more visible.

You can compare ExpExc's and Narendra Yadala's results to the method above at http://jsfiddle.net/JamesFM/bxEJd/, and verify with http://www.unixtimestamp.com/ or by running date +%s on a Unix terminal.

In JavaScript:

var url = "http://www.mynewsfeed.com/articles/index.php?id=17";
var encoded_url = encodeURIComponent(url);

var decoded_url = decodeURIComponent(encoded_url);

In PHP:

$url = "http://www.mynewsfeed.com/articles/index.php?id=17";
$encoded_url = url_encode(url);

$decoded_url = url_decode($encoded_url);

You can also try it online here: http://www.mynewsfeed.x10.mx/articles/index.php?id=17

Combine two data frames by rows (rbind) when they have different sets of columns

gtools/smartbind didnt like working with Dates, probably because it was as.vectoring. So here's my solution...

sbind = function(x, y, fill=NA) {
    sbind.fill = function(d, cols){ 
        for(c in cols)
            d[[c]] = fill
        d
    }

    x = sbind.fill(x, setdiff(names(y),names(x)))
    y = sbind.fill(y, setdiff(names(x),names(y)))

    rbind(x, y)
}

json and empty array

"location" : null // this is not really an array it's a null object

How to lay out Views in RelativeLayout programmatically?

From what I've been able to piece together, you have to add the view using LayoutParams.

LinearLayout linearLayout = new LinearLayout(this);

RelativeLayout.LayoutParams relativeParams = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(
        LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT);
relativeParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_TOP);

parentView.addView(linearLayout, relativeParams);

All credit to sechastain, to relatively position your items programmatically you have to assign ids to them.

TextView tv1 = new TextView(this);
tv1.setId(1);
TextView tv2 = new TextView(this);
tv2.setId(2);

Then addRule(RelativeLayout.RIGHT_OF, tv1.getId());

Split string using a newline delimiter with Python

If you want to split only by newlines, you can use str.splitlines():

Example:

>>> data = """a,b,c
... d,e,f
... g,h,i
... j,k,l"""
>>> data
'a,b,c\nd,e,f\ng,h,i\nj,k,l'
>>> data.splitlines()
['a,b,c', 'd,e,f', 'g,h,i', 'j,k,l']

With str.split() your case also works:

>>> data = """a,b,c
... d,e,f
... g,h,i
... j,k,l"""
>>> data
'a,b,c\nd,e,f\ng,h,i\nj,k,l'
>>> data.split()
['a,b,c', 'd,e,f', 'g,h,i', 'j,k,l']

However if you have spaces (or tabs) it will fail:

>>> data = """
... a, eqw, qwe
... v, ewr, err
... """
>>> data
'\na, eqw, qwe\nv, ewr, err\n'
>>> data.split()
['a,', 'eqw,', 'qwe', 'v,', 'ewr,', 'err']

Using Apache POI how to read a specific excel column

heikkim is right, here is some sample code adapted from some code I have:

import org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Cell;
import org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Sheet;
import org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.Row;
...
for (int rowIndex = 0; rowIndex <= sheet.getLastRowNum(); rowIndex++) {
  row = sheet.getRow(rowIndex);
  if (row != null) {
    Cell cell = row.getCell(colIndex);
    if (cell != null) {
      // Found column and there is value in the cell.
      cellValueMaybeNull = cell.getStringCellValue();
      // Do something with the cellValueMaybeNull here ...
      // break; ???
    }
  }
}

For the colCount use something like row.getPhysicalNumberOfCells()

Insert default value when parameter is null

You can use default values for the parameters of stored procedures:

CREATE PROCEDURE MyTestProcedure ( @MyParam1 INT,
@MyParam2 VARCHAR(20) = ‘ABC’,
@MyParam3 INT = NULL)
AS
BEGIN
    -- Procedure body here

END

If @MyParam2 is not supplied, it will have the 'ABC' value...

Tree implementation in Java (root, parents and children)

In the accepted answer

public Node(T data, Node<T> parent) {
    this.data = data;
    this.parent = parent;
}

should be

public Node(T data, Node<T> parent) {
    this.data = data;
    this.setParent(parent);
}

otherwise the parent does not have the child in its children list

Jquery Validate custom error message location

Add this code in your validate method:

 errorLabelContainer: '#errors'

and in your html, put simply this where you want to catch the error:

<div id="errors"></div>

All the errors will be held in the div, independently of your input box.

It worked very fine for me.

jQuery scroll to ID from different page

On the link put a hash:

<a href="otherpage.html#elementID">Jump</a>

And on other page, you can do:

$('html,body').animate({
  scrollTop: $(window.location.hash).offset().top
});

On other page, you should have element with id set to elementID to scroll to. Of course you can change the name of it.

How to add items to a spinner in Android?

XML file:

<Spinner
    android:id="@+id/Spinner01"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

Java file:

public class SpinnerExample extends Activity {

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        String[] arraySpinner = new String[] {
            "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7"
        };
        Spinner s = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.Spinner01);
        ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
                android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, arraySpinner);
        adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
        s.setAdapter(adapter);
    }
}

See spinner example.

CSS3 Transition - Fade out effect

You forgot to add a position property to the .dummy-wrap class, and the top/left/bottom/right values don't apply to statically positioned elements (the default)

Java IOException "Too many open files"

For UNIX:

As Stephen C has suggested, changing the maximum file descriptor value to a higher value avoids this problem.

Try looking at your present file descriptor capacity:

   $ ulimit -n

Then change the limit according to your requirements.

   $ ulimit -n <value>

Note that this just changes the limits in the current shell and any child / descendant process. To make the change "stick" you need to put it into the relevant shell script or initialization file.

How to open google chrome from terminal?

How to pass multiple parameters in thread in VB

Just create a class or structure that has two members, one List(Of OneItem) and the other Integer and send in an instance of that class.

How to lock specific cells but allow filtering and sorting

This was a major problem for me and I found the following link with a relatively simple answer. Thanks Voyager!!!

Note that I named the range I wanted others to be able to sort

  • Unprotect worksheet
  • Go to "Protection"--- "Allow Users to Edit Ranges" (if Excel 2007, "Review" tab)
  • Add "New" range
  • Select the range you want allow users to sort
  • Click "Protect Sheet"
  • This time, *do not allow users to select "locked cells"**
  • OK

Adding a simple UIAlertView

Other answers already provide information for iOS 7 and older, however UIAlertView is deprecated in iOS 8.

In iOS 8+ you should use UIAlertController. It is a replacement for both UIAlertView and UIActionSheet. Documentation: UIAlertController Class Reference. And a nice article on NSHipster.

To create a simple Alert View you can do the following:

UIAlertController *alertController = [UIAlertController alertControllerWithTitle:@"Title"
                                                                         message:@"Message"
                                                                  preferredStyle:UIAlertControllerStyleAlert];
//We add buttons to the alert controller by creating UIAlertActions:
UIAlertAction *actionOk = [UIAlertAction actionWithTitle:@"Ok"
                                                   style:UIAlertActionStyleDefault
                                                 handler:nil]; //You can use a block here to handle a press on this button
[alertController addAction:actionOk];
[self presentViewController:alertController animated:YES completion:nil];

Swift 3 / 4 / 5:

let alertController = UIAlertController(title: "Title", message: "Message", preferredStyle: .alert)
//We add buttons to the alert controller by creating UIAlertActions:
let actionOk = UIAlertAction(title: "OK",
    style: .default,
    handler: nil) //You can use a block here to handle a press on this button

alertController.addAction(actionOk)

self.present(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)

Note, that, since it was added in iOS 8, this code won't work on iOS 7 and older. So, sadly, for now we have to use version checks like so:

NSString *alertTitle = @"Title";
NSString *alertMessage = @"Message";
NSString *alertOkButtonText = @"Ok";

if (@available(iOS 8, *)) {
    UIAlertView *alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:alertTitle
                                                        message:alertMessage
                                                       delegate:nil
                                              cancelButtonTitle:nil
                                              otherButtonTitles:alertOkButtonText, nil];
    [alertView show];
}
else {
    UIAlertController *alertController = [UIAlertController alertControllerWithTitle:alertTitle
                                                                             message:alertMessage
                                                                      preferredStyle:UIAlertControllerStyleAlert];
    //We add buttons to the alert controller by creating UIAlertActions:
    UIAlertAction *actionOk = [UIAlertAction actionWithTitle:alertOkButtonText
                                                       style:UIAlertActionStyleDefault
                                                     handler:nil]; //You can use a block here to handle a press on this button
    [alertController addAction:actionOk];
    [self presentViewController:alertController animated:YES completion:nil];
}

Swift 3 / 4 / 5:

let alertTitle = "Title"
let alertMessage = "Message"
let alertOkButtonText = "Ok"

if #available(iOS 8, *) {
    let alertController = UIAlertController(title: alertTitle, message: alertMessage, preferredStyle: .alert)
    //We add buttons to the alert controller by creating UIAlertActions:
    let actionOk = UIAlertAction(title: alertOkButtonText,
        style: .default,
        handler: nil) //You can use a block here to handle a press on this button

    alertController.addAction(actionOk)
    self.present(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
else {
    let alertView = UIAlertView(title: alertTitle, message: alertMessage, delegate: nil, cancelButtonTitle: nil, otherButtonTitles: alertOkButtonText)
    alertView.show()
}

SVN checkout the contents of a folder, not the folder itself

Just add a . to it:

svn checkout file:///home/landonwinters/svn/waterproject/trunk .

That means: check out to current directory.

Content is not allowed in Prolog SAXParserException

I faced the same issue. Our application running on four application servers and due to invalid schema location mentioned on one of the web service WSDL, hung threads are generated on the servers . The appliucations got down frequently. After corrected the schema Location , the issue got resolved.

Read Content from Files which are inside Zip file

Because of the condition in while, the loop might never break:

while (entry != null) {
  // If entry never becomes null here, loop will never break.
}

Instead of the null check there, you can try this:

ZipEntry entry = null;
while ((entry = zip.getNextEntry()) != null) {
  // Rest of your code
}

Any good, visual HTML5 Editor or IDE?

Update

Use Aptana Studio 3, it's upgraded now.

You can either choose

SDK Manager.exe doesn't work

I had the same issue!

I had installed the ADT bundle 64-bit, so I downloaded Java 64-bit. I messed around with paths and things, but the thing that fixed it in the end was installing Java 32-bit.

The easy fix is to install both versions. You can download them manually here.

Good luck!

AngularJS ng-click stopPropagation

ngClick directive (as well as all other event directives) creates $event variable which is available on same scope. This variable is a reference to JS event object and can be used to call stopPropagation():

<table>
  <tr ng-repeat="user in users" ng-click="showUser(user)">
    <td>{{user.firstname}}</td>
    <td>{{user.lastname}}</td>
    <td>
      <button class="btn" ng-click="deleteUser(user.id, $index); $event.stopPropagation();">
        Delete
      </button>
    </td>              
  </tr>
</table>
