How to fix symbol lookup error: undefined symbol errors in a cluster environment

After two dozens of comments to understand the situation, it was found that the libhdf5.so.7 was actually a symlink (with several levels of indirection) to a file that was not shared between the queued processes and the interactive processes. This means even though the symlink itself lies on a shared filesystem, the contents of the file do not and as a result the process was seeing different versions of the library.

For future reference: other than checking LD_LIBRARY_PATH, it's always a good idea to check a library with nm -D to see if the symbols actually exist. In this case it was found that they do exist in interactive mode but not when run in the queue. A quick md5sum revealed that the files were actually different.

Trying to check if username already exists in MySQL database using PHP

$pass = $_POST["password"];

$check_email = mysqli_query($conn, "SELECT Email FROM crud where Email = '$email' ");
if(mysqli_num_rows($check_email) > 0){
    echo('Email Already exists');
}
else{
    if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
    $result = mysqli_query($conn, "INSERT INTO crud (Firstname, Lastname, Email, Password) VALUES ('$firstname', '$lastname', '$email', '$pass')");

Converting a sentence string to a string array of words in Java

Try using the following:

String str = "This is a simple sentence";
String[] strgs = str.split(" ");

That will create a substring at each index of the array of strings using the space as a split point.

How do I insert values into a Map<K, V>?

There are two issues here.

Firstly, you can't use the [] syntax like you may be able to in other languages. Square brackets only apply to arrays in Java, and so can only be used with integer indexes.

data.put is correct but that is a statement and so must exist in a method block. Only field declarations can exist at the class level. Here is an example where everything is within the local scope of a method:

public class Data {
     public static void main(String[] args) {
         Map<String, String> data = new HashMap<String, String>();
         data.put("John", "Taxi Driver");
         data.put("Mark", "Professional Killer");
     }
 }

If you want to initialize a map as a static field of a class then you can use Map.of, since Java 9:

public class Data {
    private static final Map<String, String> DATA = Map.of("John", "Taxi Driver");
}

Before Java 9, you can use a static initializer block to accomplish the same thing:

public class Data {
    private static final Map<String, String> DATA = new HashMap<>();

    static {
        DATA.put("John", "Taxi Driver");
    }
}

Why does PEP-8 specify a maximum line length of 79 characters?

Since whitespace has semantic meaning in Python, some methods of word wrapping could produce incorrect or ambiguous results, so there needs to be some limit to avoid those situations. An 80 character line length has been standard since we were using teletypes, so 79 characters seems like a pretty safe choice.

Calculating powers of integers

base is the number that you want to power up, n is the power, we return 1 if n is 0, and we return the base if the n is 1, if the conditions are not met, we use the formula base*(powerN(base,n-1)) eg: 2 raised to to using this formula is : 2(base)*2(powerN(base,n-1)).

public int power(int base, int n){
   return n == 0 ? 1 : (n == 1 ? base : base*(power(base,n-1)));
}

jQuery ajax upload file in asp.net mvc

AJAX file uploads are now possible by passing a FormData object to the data property of the $.ajax request.

As the OP specifically asked for a jQuery implementation, here you go:

<form id="upload" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="@Url.Action("JsonSave", "Survey")" method="POST">
    <input type="file" name="fileUpload" id="fileUpload" size="23" /><br />
    <button>Upload!</button>
</form>
$('#upload').submit(function(e) {
    e.preventDefault(); // stop the standard form submission

    $.ajax({
        url: this.action,
        type: this.method,
        data: new FormData(this),
        cache: false,
        contentType: false,
        processData: false,
        success: function (data) {
            console.log(data.UploadedFileCount + ' file(s) uploaded successfully');
        },
        error: function(xhr, error, status) {
            console.log(error, status);
        }
    });
});
public JsonResult Survey()
{
    for (int i = 0; i < Request.Files.Count; i++)
    {
        var file = Request.Files[i];
        // save file as required here...
    }
    return Json(new { UploadedFileCount = Request.Files.Count });
}

iFrame src change event detection?

If you have no control over the page and wish to watch for some kind of change then the modern method is to use MutationObserver

An example of its use, watching for the src attribute to change of an iframe

_x000D_
_x000D_
new MutationObserver(function(mutations) {_x000D_
  mutations.some(function(mutation) {_x000D_
    if (mutation.type === 'attributes' && mutation.attributeName === 'src') {_x000D_
      console.log(mutation);_x000D_
      console.log('Old src: ', mutation.oldValue);_x000D_
      console.log('New src: ', mutation.target.src);_x000D_
      return true;_x000D_
    }_x000D_
_x000D_
    return false;_x000D_
  });_x000D_
}).observe(document.body, {_x000D_
  attributes: true,_x000D_
  attributeFilter: ['src'],_x000D_
  attributeOldValue: true,_x000D_
  characterData: false,_x000D_
  characterDataOldValue: false,_x000D_
  childList: false,_x000D_

Grid of responsive squares

You can make responsive grid of squares with verticaly and horizontaly centered content only with CSS. I will explain how in a step by step process but first here are 2 demos of what you can achieve :

Responsive 3x3 square grid Responsive square images in a 3x3 grid

Now let's see how to make these fancy responsive squares!



1. Making the responsive squares :

The trick for keeping elements square (or whatever other aspect ratio) is to use percent padding-bottom.
Side note: you can use top padding too or top/bottom margin but the background of the element won't display.

As top padding is calculated according to the width of the parent element (See MDN for reference), the height of the element will change according to its width. You can now Keep its aspect ratio according to its width.
At this point you can code :

HTML :

 <div></div>

CSS

div {
    width: 30%;
    padding-bottom: 30%; /* = width for a square aspect ratio */
}

Here is a simple layout example of 3*3 squares grid using the code above.

With this technique, you can make any other aspect ratio, here is a table giving the values of bottom padding according to the aspect ratio and a 30% width.

 Aspect ratio  |  padding-bottom  |  for 30% width
------------------------------------------------
    1:1        |  = width         |    30%
    1:2        |  width x 2       |    60%
    2:1        |  width x 0.5     |    15%
    4:3        |  width x 0.75    |    22.5%
    16:9       |  width x 0.5625  |    16.875%




2. Adding content inside the squares

As you can't add content directly inside the squares (it would expand their height and squares wouldn't be squares anymore) you need to create child elements (for this example I am using divs) inside them with position: absolute; and put the content inside them. This will take the content out of the flow and keep the size of the square.

Don't forget to add position:relative; on the parent divs so the absolute children are positioned/sized relatively to their parent.

Let's add some content to our 3x3 grid of squares :

HTML :

<div class="square">
    <div class="content">
        .. CONTENT HERE ..
    </div>
</div>
... and so on 9 times for 9 squares ...

CSS :

.square {
    float:left;
    position: relative;
    width: 30%;
    padding-bottom: 30%; /* = width for a 1:1 aspect ratio */
    margin:1.66%;
    overflow:hidden;
}

.content {
    position:absolute;
    height:80%; /* = 100% - 2*10% padding */
    width:90%; /* = 100% - 2*5% padding */
    padding: 10% 5%;
}

RESULT <-- with some formatting to make it pretty!



3.Centering the content

Horizontally :

This is pretty easy, you just need to add text-align:center to .content.
RESULT

Vertical alignment

This becomes serious! The trick is to use

display:table;
/* and */
display:table-cell;
vertical-align:middle;

but we can't use display:table; on .square or .content divs because it conflicts with position:absolute; so we need to create two children inside .content divs. Our code will be updated as follow :

HTML :

<div class="square">
    <div class="content">
        <div class="table">
            <div class="table-cell">
                ... CONTENT HERE ...
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
... and so on 9 times for 9 squares ...

CSS :

.square {
    float:left;
    position: relative;
    width: 30%;
    padding-bottom : 30%; /* = width for a 1:1 aspect ratio */
    margin:1.66%;
    overflow:hidden;
}

.content {
    position:absolute;
    height:80%; /* = 100% - 2*10% padding */
    width:90%; /* = 100% - 2*5% padding */
    padding: 10% 5%;
}
.table{
    display:table;
    height:100%;
    width:100%;
}
.table-cell{
    display:table-cell;
    vertical-align:middle;
    height:100%;
    width:100%;
}




We have now finished and we can take a look at the result here :

Angular-Material DateTime Picker Component?

For as long as there is no official date and time picker from angular itself, I would advise to make a combination of the default angular date picker and this Angular Material Timepicker. I've chosen that one because all the other ones I found at this time lack support for issues, are outdated or are not functioning well in the most recent angular versions. This guy seems to be very responsive.

I've wrapped them both in one component so that it looks like it is one unit. You just have to make sure to do a few things:

When no input has been given yet, I would advise:

  • On-click of the component, the datepicker should always be triggered first.
  • After the datepicker closes, have the timepicker automatically popup.
  • Use touchUi = true on the datepicker, so that both the datepicker and the timepicker come as a dialog after each other.
  • Make sure the datepicker also shows up when clicking on the form (instead of only on the icon which is the default).
  • Use this solution to use the timepicker also in a material form, when placing them behind each other, it looks like it is one form.

After a value has been given, it is clear that one part contains the time and the other part contains the date. At that moment it is clear that the user has to click on the time to change the time, and on the date to change the date. But before that, so when both fields are empty (and 'attached' to each other as one field) you should make sure the user cannot be confused by doing above recommendations.

My component is not complete yet, I will try to remember myself to share the code later. Shoot a comment if this question is more then a month old or so.

One important source: https://github.com/Agranom/ngx-material-timepicker/issues/126

I think it still deserves some tweaks, as I think it can work a bit better when I would have more time creating this. Most importantly I tried to solve the UTC issue as well, so all dates should be shown in local time but should be sent to the server in UTC format (or at least saved with the correct timezone added to it).

Unable to launch the IIS Express Web server

I had a similar problem when running my solution from VS2012:

Unable to launch the IIS Express Web server.  
The start URL specified is not valid. https://localhost:44301/

I had the incorrect project selected as Startup Project. I made the Cloud project the Startup (right click on project -> Set as Startup Project) and everything started working fine.

Java: export to an .jar file in eclipse

One more option is WinRun4J. There is an Eclipse Plugin for WinRun4J that allows you to export your application as a single executable with necessary jars/classes embedded.

Excel - programm cells to change colour based on another cell

  1. Select cell B3 and click the Conditional Formatting button in the ribbon and choose "New Rule".
  2. Select "Use a formula to determine which cells to format"
  3. Enter the formula: =IF(B2="X",IF(B3="Y", TRUE, FALSE),FALSE), and choose to fill green when this is true
  4. Create another rule and enter the formula =IF(B2="X",IF(B3="W", TRUE, FALSE),FALSE) and choose to fill red when this is true.

More details - conditional formatting with a formula applies the format when the formula evaluates to TRUE. You can use a compound IF formula to return true or false based on the values of any cells.

Count number of tables in Oracle

These documents describe data dictionary views:

all_tables: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/statviews_4473.htm#REFRN26286

user_tables: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/statviews_2105.htm#i1592091

dba_tables: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/statviews_4155.htm#i1627762

You can run queries on these views to count what you need.

To add something more to @Anurag Thakre's answer:

Use this query which will give you the actual no of counts respect to the owners

SELECT COUNT(*),tablespace_name  FROM USER_TABLES group by tablespace_name;

Or by table owners:

SELECT COUNT(*), owner  FROM ALL_TABLES group by owner;

Tablespace itself does not identify an unique object owner. Multiple users can create objects in the same tablespace and a single user can create objects in various tablespaces. It is a common practice to separate tables and indexes into different tablespaces.

AssertNull should be used or AssertNotNull

The assertNotNull() method means "a passed parameter must not be null": if it is null then the test case fails.
The assertNull() method means "a passed parameter must be null": if it is not null then the test case fails.

String str1 = null;
String str2 = "hello";              

// Success.
assertNotNull(str2);

// Fail.
assertNotNull(str1);

// Success.
assertNull(str1);

// Fail.
assertNull(str2);

Determine a user's timezone

There are no HTTP headers that will report the clients timezone so far although it has been suggested to include it in the HTTP specification.

If it was me, I would probably try to fetch the timezone using clientside JavaScript and then submit it to the server using Ajax or something.

How do I get the day month and year from a Windows cmd.exe script?

This variant works for all localizations:

@echo off
FOR /F "skip=1 tokens=1-6" %%A IN ('WMIC Path Win32_LocalTime Get Day^,Hour^,Minute^,Month^,Second^,Year /Format:table') DO (
    if "%%B" NEQ "" (
        SET /A FDATE=%%F*10000+%%D*100+%%A
    )
)
@echo on
echo date=%FDATE%
echo year=%FDATE:~2,2%
echo month=%FDATE:~4,2%

Alphanumeric, dash and underscore but no spaces regular expression check JavaScript

Got stupid error. So post here, if anyone find it useful

  1. [-\._] - means hyphen, dot and underscore
  2. [\.-_] - means all signs in range from dot to underscore

How to reset a timer in C#?

I just assigned a new value to the timer:

mytimer.Change(10000, 0); // reset to 10 seconds

It works fine for me.

at the top of the code define the timer: System.Threading.Timer myTimer;

if (!active)
    myTimer = new Timer(new TimerCallback(TimerProc));

myTimer.Change(10000, 0);
active = true;

private void TimerProc(object state)
{
    // The state object is the Timer object.
    var t = (Timer)state;

    t.Dispose();
    Console.WriteLine("The timer callback executes.");
    active = false;
    
    // Action to do when timer is back to zero
}

Sending HTML mail using a shell script

The tags include 'sendmail' so here's a solution using that:

(
echo "From: [email protected] "
echo "To: [email protected] "
echo "MIME-Version: 1.0"
echo "Content-Type: multipart/alternative; " 
echo ' boundary="some.unique.value.ABC123/server.xyz.com"' 
echo "Subject: Test HTML e-mail." 
echo "" 
echo "This is a MIME-encapsulated message" 
echo "" 
echo "--some.unique.value.ABC123/server.xyz.com" 
echo "Content-Type: text/html" 
echo "" 
echo "<html> 
<head>
<title>HTML E-mail</title>
</head>
<body>
<a href='http://www.google.com'>Click Here</a>
</body>
</html>"
echo "------some.unique.value.ABC123/server.xyz.com--"
) | sendmail -t

A wrapper for sendmail can make this job easier, for example, mutt:

mutt -e 'set content_type="text/html"' [email protected] -s "subject" <  message.html

How to run Gradle from the command line on Mac bash

./gradlew

Your directory with gradlew is not included in the PATH, so you must specify path to the gradlew. . means "current directory".

Displaying all table names in php from MySQL database

For people that are using PDO statements

}

How do I run two commands in one line in Windows CMD?

You can use call to overcome the problem of environment variables being evaluated too soon - e.g.

set A=Hello & call echo %A%

Laravel Eloquent get results grouped by days

this way work properly and I used it in many projects! for example I get data of views the last 30 days:

$viewsData = DB::table('page_views')
    ->where('page_id', $page->id)
    ->whereDate('created_at', '>=', now()->subDays(30))
    ->select(DB::raw('DATE(created_at) as data'), DB::raw('count(*) as views'))
    ->groupBy('date')
    ->get();

If you want to get the number of views based on different IPs, you can use the DISTINCT like below :

$viewsData = DB::table('page_views')
    ->where('page_id', $page->id)
    ->whereDate('created_at', '>=', now()->subDays(30))
    ->select(DB::raw('DATE(created_at) as data'), DB::raw('count(DISTINCT user_ip) as visitors'))
    ->groupBy('date')
    ->get();

You can easily customize it by manipulating the columns name

Find unused code

ReSharper does a great job of finding unused code.

In the VS IDE, you can right click on the definition and choose 'Find All References', although this only works at the solution level.

How to dynamic new Anonymous Class?

Anonymous types are just regular types that are implicitly declared. They have little to do with dynamic.

Now, if you were to use an ExpandoObject and reference it through a dynamic variable, you could add or remove fields on the fly.

edit

Sure you can: just cast it to IDictionary<string, object>. Then you can use the indexer.

You use the same casting technique to iterate over the fields:

dynamic employee = new ExpandoObject();
employee.Name = "John Smith";
employee.Age = 33;

foreach (var property in (IDictionary<string, object>)employee)
{
    Console.WriteLine(property.Key + ": " + property.Value);
}
// This code example produces the following output:
// Name: John Smith
// Age: 33

I was facing the same problem with visual studio 2017.

you can find cl.exe in C:\Program Files(x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023\bin\Hostx86\x86.

just set the environment variable as the able address and run the command in anaconda, it worked for me.

How should I print types like off_t and size_t?

Looking at man 3 printf on Linux, OS X, and OpenBSD all show support for %z for size_t and %t for ptrdiff_t (for C99), but none of those mention off_t. Suggestions in the wild usually offer up the %u conversion for off_t, which is "correct enough" as far as I can tell (both unsigned int and off_t vary identically between 64-bit and 32-bit systems).

CSS: borders between table columns only

Borders on tables are always a bit flaky. One possibility would be to add a border-right declaration to each table cell except for the ones in right-most column. If you're using any kind of table-spacing this won't work very well.

Another option would be to use a 1px high background image with the borders inside it, but that'll only work if you can guarantee the width of each cell at all times.

Another possibility is to experiment with colgroup / col. This had fairly horrible support cross-browser the last time i looked at it but could have improved since then: http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum83/6826.htm

How to let an ASMX file output JSON

This is probably old news by now, but the magic seems to be:

  • [ScriptService] attribute on web service class
  • [ScriptMethod(UseHttpGet = true, ResponseFormat = ResponseFormat.Json)] on method
  • Content-type: application/json in request

With those pieces in place, a GET request is successful.

For a HTTP POST

  • [ScriptMethod(UseHttpGet = false, ResponseFormat = ResponseFormat.Json)] on method

and on the client side (assuming your webmethod is called MethodName, and it takes a single parameter called searchString):

        $.ajax({
            url: "MyWebService.asmx/MethodName",
            type: "POST",
            contentType: "application/json",
            data: JSON.stringify({ searchString: q }),
            success: function (response) {                  
            },
            error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
                alert(textStatus + ": " + jqXHR.responseText);
            }
        });

Difference between uint32 and uint32_t

uint32_t is standard, uint32 is not. That is, if you include <inttypes.h> or <stdint.h>, you will get a definition of uint32_t. uint32 is a typedef in some local code base, but you should not expect it to exist unless you define it yourself. And defining it yourself is a bad idea.

How to show one layout on top of the other programmatically in my case?

The answer, given by Alexandru is working quite nice. As he said, it is important that this "accessor"-view is added as the last element. Here is some code which did the trick for me:

        ...

        ...

            </LinearLayout>

        </LinearLayout>

    </FrameLayout>

</LinearLayout>

<!-- place a FrameLayout (match_parent) as the last child -->
<FrameLayout
    android:id="@+id/icon_frame_container"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">
</FrameLayout>

</TabHost>

in Java:

final MaterialDialog materialDialog = (MaterialDialog) dialogInterface;

FrameLayout frameLayout = (FrameLayout) materialDialog
        .findViewById(R.id.icon_frame_container);

frameLayout.setOnTouchListener(
        new OnSwipeTouchListener(ShowCardActivity.this) {

How to verify a method is called two times with mockito verify()

Using the appropriate VerificationMode:

verify(mockObject, atLeast(2)).someMethod("was called at least twice");
verify(mockObject, times(3)).someMethod("was called exactly three times");

Converting String Array to an Integer Array

Stream.of().mapToInt().toArray() seems to be the best options.

int[] arr = Stream.of(new String[]{"1", "2", "3"})
                  .mapToInt(Integer::parseInt).toArray();
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(arr));

Why doesn't CSS ellipsis work in table cell?

Demo page

For tables with dynamic width, I found the below way to produce satisfying results. Each <th> which is wished to have trimmed-text ability should have an inner wrapping element which wraps the contents of the <th> allow text-overflow to work.

The real trick is to set max-width (on the <th>) in vw units.

This will effectively cause the element's width to be "bound" to the viewport width (browser window) and will result in a responsive content clipping. Set the vw units to a satisfying value needed.

Minimal CSS:

th{ max-width:10vw; }
      
th > .wrap{ 
   text-overflow:ellipsis;
   overflow:hidden;
   white-space:nowrap;
}

Is the Scala 2.8 collections library a case of "the longest suicide note in history"?

Is this going to put people off coming to Scala?

Yes, but it will also prevent people from being put off. I've considered the lack of collections that use higher-kinded types to be a major weakness ever since Scala gained support for higher-kinded types. It make the API docs more complicated, but it really makes usage more natural.

Is this going to give scala a bad name in the commercial world as an academic plaything that only dedicated PhD students can understand? Are CTOs and heads of software going to get scared off?

Some probably will. I don't think Scala is accessible to many "professional" developers, partially due to the complexity of Scala and partly due to the unwillingness of many developers to learn. The CTOs who employ such developers will rightly be scared off.

Was the library re-design a sensible idea?

Absolutely. It makes collections fit much better with the rest of the language and the type system, even if it still has some rough edges.

If you're using scala commercially, are you worried about this? Are you planning to adopt 2.8 immediately or wait to see what happens?

I'm not using it commercially. I'll probably wait until at least a couple revs into the 2.8.x series before even trying to introduce it so that the bugs can be flushed out. I'll also wait to see how much success EPFL has in improving its development a release processes. What I'm seeing looks hopeful, but I work for a conservative company.

One the more general topic of "is Scala too complicated for mainstream developers?"...

Most developers, mainstream or otherwise, are maintaining or extending existing systems. This means that most of what they use is dictated by decisions made long ago. There are still plenty of people writing COBOL.

Tomorrow's mainstream developer will work maintaining and extending the applications that are being built today. Many of these applications are not being built by mainstream developers. Tomorrow's mainstream developers will use the language that is being used by today's most successful developers of new applications.

nodejs send html file to client

Try your code like this:

var app = express();
app.get('/test', function(req, res) {
    res.sendFile('views/test.html', {root: __dirname })
});
  1. Use res.sendFile instead of reading the file manually so express can handle setting the content-type properly for you.

  2. You don't need the app.engine line, as that is handled internally by express.

Error Importing SSL certificate : Not an X.509 Certificate

Many CAs will provide a cert in PKCS7 format.

According to Oracle documentation, the keytool commmand can handle PKCS#7 but sometimes it fails

The keytool command can import X.509 v1, v2, and v3 certificates, and PKCS#7 formatted certificate chains consisting of certificates of that type. The data to be imported must be provided either in binary encoding format or in printable encoding format (also known as Base64 encoding) as defined by the Internet RFC 1421 standard. In the latter case, the encoding must be bounded at the beginning by a string that starts with -----BEGIN, and bounded at the end by a string that starts with -----END.

If the PKCS7 file can't be imported try to transform it from PKCS7 to X.509:

openssl pkcs7 -print_certs -in certificate.p7b -out certificate.cer

How to save a Seaborn plot into a file

You should just be able to use the savefig method of sns_plot directly.

sns_plot.savefig("output.png")

For clarity with your code if you did want to access the matplotlib figure that sns_plot resides in then you can get it directly with

fig = sns_plot.fig

In this case there is no get_figure method as your code assumes.

What is the best way to do a substring in a batch file?

As an additional info to Joey's answer, which isn't described in the help of set /? nor for /?.

%~0 expands to the name of the own batch, exactly as it was typed.
So if you start your batch it will be expanded as

%~0   - mYbAtCh
%~n0  - mybatch
%~nx0 - mybatch.bat

But there is one exception, expanding in a subroutine could fail

echo main- %~0
call :myFunction
exit /b

:myFunction
echo func - %~0
echo func - %~n0
exit /b

This results to

main - myBatch
Func - :myFunction
func - mybatch

In a function %~0 expands always to the name of the function, not of the batch file.
But if you use at least one modifier it will show the filename again!

Decrypt password created with htpasswd

.htpasswd entries are HASHES. They are not encrypted passwords. Hashes are designed not to be decryptable. Hence there is no way (unless you bruteforce for a loooong time) to get the password from the .htpasswd file.

What you need to do is apply the same hash algorithm to the password provided to you and compare it to the hash in the .htpasswd file. If the user and hash are the same then you're a go.

Using JavaScript to display a Blob

If you want to use fetch instead:

var myImage = document.querySelector('img');

fetch('flowers.jpg').then(function(response) {
  return response.blob();
}).then(function(myBlob) {
  var objectURL = URL.createObjectURL(myBlob);
  myImage.src = objectURL;
});

How do I use Assert to verify that an exception has been thrown?

MSTest (v2) now has an Assert.ThrowsException function which can be used like this:

Assert.ThrowsException<System.FormatException>(() =>
            {
                Story actual = PersonalSite.Services.Content.ExtractHeader(String.Empty);
            }); 

You can install it with nuget: Install-Package MSTest.TestFramework

set gvim font in .vimrc file

When I try:

set guifont=Consolas:h16

I get: Warning: Font "Consolas" reports bad fixed pitch metrics

and the following is work, and don't show the waring.

autocmd vimenter * GuiFont! Consolas:h16

by the way, if you want to use the mouse wheel to control the font-size, then you can add:

function! AdjustFontSize(amount)
    let s:font_size = s:font_size + a:amount
    :execute "GuiFont! Consolas:h" . s:font_size
endfunction

noremap <C-ScrollWheelUp> :call AdjustFontSize(1)<CR>
noremap <C-ScrollWheelDown> :call AdjustFontSize(-1)<CR>

and if you want to pick the font, you can set

set guifont=*

will bring up a font requester, where you can pick the font you want.

Ubuntu, how do you remove all Python 3 but not 2

First of all, don't try the following command as suggested by Germain above.

   `sudo apt-get remove 'python3.*'`

In Ubuntu, many software depends upon Python3 so if you will execute this command it will remove all of them as it happened with me. I found following answer useful to recover it.

https://askubuntu.com/questions/810854/i-deleted-package-python3-on-ubuntu-and-i-have-lost-dashboard-terminal-and-un

If you want to use different python versions for different projects then create virtual environments it will be very useful. refer to the following link to create virtual environments.

Creating Virtual Environment also helps in using Tensorflow and Keras in Jupyter Notebook.

Using iText to convert HTML to PDF

The answer to your question is actually two-fold. First of all you need to specify what you intend to do with the rendered HTML: save it to a new PDF file, or use it within another rendering context (i.e. add it to some other document you are generating).

The former is relatively easily accomplished using the Flying Saucer framework, which can be found here: https://github.com/flyingsaucerproject/flyingsaucer

The latter is actually a much more comprehensive problem that needs to be categorized further. Using iText you won't be able to (trivially, at least) combine iText elements (i.e. Paragraph, Phrase, Chunk and so on) with the generated HTML. You can hack your way out of this by using the ContentByte's addTemplate method and generating the HTML to this template.

If you on the other hand want to stamp the generated HTML with something like watermarks, dates or the like, you can do this using iText.

So bottom line: You can't trivially integrate the rendered HTML in other pdf generating contexts, but you can render HTML directly to a blank PDF document.

Concat scripts in order with Gulp

What is the best way to remove accents (normalize) in a Python unicode string?

In response to @MiniQuark's answer:

I was trying to read in a csv file that was half-French (containing accents) and also some strings which would eventually become integers and floats. As a test, I created a test.txt file that looked like this:

Montréal, über, 12.89, Mère, Françoise, noël, 889

I had to include lines 2 and 3 to get it to work (which I found in a python ticket), as well as incorporate @Jabba's comment:

import sys 
reload(sys) 
sys.setdefaultencoding("utf-8")
import csv
import unicodedata

def remove_accents(input_str):
    nkfd_form = unicodedata.normalize('NFKD', unicode(input_str))
    return u"".join([c for c in nkfd_form if not unicodedata.combining(c)])

with open('test.txt') as f:
    read = csv.reader(f)
    for row in read:
        for element in row:
            print remove_accents(element)

The result:

Montreal
uber
12.89
Mere
Francoise
noel
889

(Note: I am on Mac OS X 10.8.4 and using Python 2.7.3)

Align two divs horizontally side by side center to the page using bootstrap css

To align two divs horizontally you just have to combine two classes of Bootstrap: Here's how:

<div class ="container-fluid">
  <div class ="row">
    <div class ="col-md-6 col-sm-6">
        First Div
    </div>
    <div class ="col-md-6 col-sm-6">
        Second Div
     </div>
  </div>
</div>

.NET End vs Form.Close() vs Application.Exit Cleaner way to close one's app

Application.Exit() kills your application but there are some instances that it won't close the application.

End is better than Application.Exit().

rotating axis labels in R

As Maciej Jonczyk mentioned, you may also need to increase margins

Combining (concatenating) date and time into a datetime

Cast it to datetime instead:

select CAST(CollectionDate as DATETIME) + CAST(CollectionTime as TIME)
from field

This works on SQL Server 2008 R2.

If for some reason you wanted to make sure the first part doesn't have a time component, first cast the field to date, then back to datetime.

Servlet for serving static content

Use org.mortbay.jetty.handler.ContextHandler. You don't need additional components like StaticServlet.

At the jetty home,

$ cd contexts

$ cp javadoc.xml static.xml

$ vi static.xml

...

<Configure class="org.mortbay.jetty.handler.ContextHandler">
<Set name="contextPath">/static</Set>
<Set name="resourceBase"><SystemProperty name="jetty.home" default="."/>/static/</Set>
<Set name="handler">
  <New class="org.mortbay.jetty.handler.ResourceHandler">
    <Set name="cacheControl">max-age=3600,public</Set>
  </New>
 </Set>
</Configure>

Set the value of contextPath with your URL prefix, and set the value of resourceBase as the file path of the static content.

It worked for me.

Using jQuery to see if a div has a child with a certain class

There is a hasClass function

if($('#popup p').hasClass('filled-text'))

Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name

Two things seemed to do it for me:

  1. Put all aliases for 127.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts in a single line (e.g. 127.0.0.1 localhost mysite.local myothersite.local
  2. Set ServerName in my httpd.conf to 0.0.0.0 (localhost or 127.0.0.1 didn't work for me)

Editing /etc/hosts got rid of long response times and setting the ServerName got rid of OP's warning for me.

Calling a method every x minutes

I based this on @asawyer's answer. He doesn't seem to get a compile error, but some of us do. Here is a version which the C# compiler in Visual Studio 2010 will accept.

var timer = new System.Threading.Timer(
    e => MyMethod(),  
    null, 
    TimeSpan.Zero, 
    TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5));

Check if a path represents a file or a folder

public static boolean isDirectory(String path) {
    return path !=null && new File(path).isDirectory();
}

To answer the question directly.

What is the difference between Session.Abandon() and Session.Clear()

This is sort of covered by the various responses above, but the first time I read this article I missed an important fact, which led to a minor bug in my code...

Session.Clear() will CLEAR the values of all the keys but will NOT cause the session end event to fire.

Session.Abandon() will NOT clear the values on the current request. IF another page is requested, the values will be gone for that one. However, abandon WILL throw the event.

So, in my case (and perhaps in yours?), I needed Clear() followed by Abandon().

How can I convert a stack trace to a string?

Warning: This may be a bit off topic, but oh well... ;)

I don't know what the original posters reason was for wanting the stack trace as string in the first place. When the stack trace should end up in an SLF4J/Logback LOG, but no exception was or should be thrown here's what I do:

public void remove(List<String> ids) {
    if(ids == null || ids.isEmpty()) {
        LOG.warn(
            "An empty list (or null) was passed to {}.remove(List). " +
            "Clearly, this call is unneccessary, the caller should " + 
            "avoid making it. A stacktrace follows.", 
            getClass().getName(),
            new Throwable ("Stacktrace")
        );

        return;
    }

    // actual work, remove stuff
}

I like it because it does not require an external library (other than your logging backend, which will be in place most of the time anyway, of course).

What is difference between monolithic and micro kernel?

Microkernel:

Moves as much from the kernel into “user” space.

Communication takes place between user modules using message passing.

Benefits:

1-Easier to extend a microkernel

2-Easier to port the operating system to new architectures

3-More reliable (less code is running in kernel mode)

4-More secure

Detriments:

1-Performance overhead of user space to kernel space communication

Is it more efficient to copy a vector by reserving and copying, or by creating and swapping?

This is another valid way to make a copy of a vector, just use its constructor:

std::vector<int> newvector(oldvector);

This is even simpler than using std::copy to walk the entire vector from start to finish to std::back_insert them into the new vector.

That being said, your .swap() one is not a copy, instead it swaps the two vectors. You would modify the original to not contain anything anymore! Which is not a copy.

pip is not able to install packages correctly: Permission denied error

On a Mac, you need to use this command:

STATIC_DEPS=true sudo pip install lxml

Why doesn't file_get_contents work?

Check file_get_contents PHP Manual return value. If the value is FALSE then it could not read the file. If the value is NULL then the function itself is disabled.

To learn more what might gone wrong with the file_get_contents operation you must enable error reporting and the display of errors to actually read them.

# Enable Error Reporting and Display:
error_reporting(~0);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

You can get more details about the why the call is failing by checking the INI values on your server. One value the directly effects the file_get_contents function is allow_url_fopen. You can do this by running the following code. You should note, that if it reports that fopen is not allowed, then you'll have to ask your provider to change this setting on your server in order for any code that require this function to work with URLs.

<html>
    <head>        
        <title>Test File</title>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false">
        </script>
    </head>
    <body>
<?php

# Enable Error Reporting and Display:
error_reporting(~0);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

$adr = 'Sydney+NSW';
echo $adr;
$url = "http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=$adr&sensor=false";
echo '<p>'.$url.'</p>';

$jsonData = file_get_contents($url);

print '<p>', var_dump($jsonData), '</p>';

# Output information about allow_url_fopen:
if (ini_get('allow_url_fopen') == 1) {
    echo '<p style="color: #0A0;">fopen is allowed on this host.</p>';
} else {
    echo '<p style="color: #A00;">fopen is not allowed on this host.</p>';
}


# Decide what to do based on return value:
if ($jsonData === FALSE) {
    echo "Failed to open the URL ", htmlspecialchars($url);
} elseif ($jsonData === NULL) {
    echo "Function is disabled.";
} else {
   echo $jsonData;
}

?>
    </body>
</html>

If all of this fails, it might be due to the use of short open tags, <?. The example code in this answer has been therefore changed to make use of <?php to work correctly as this is guaranteed to work on in all version of PHP, no matter what configuration options are set. To do so for your own script, just replace <? or <?php.

Call js-function using JQuery timer

setInterval is the function you want. That repeats every x miliseconds.

window.setInterval(function() {
    alert('test');
}, 10000);

Download data url file

If you also want to give a suggested name to the file (instead of the default 'download') you can use the following in Chrome, Firefox and some IE versions:

function downloadURI(uri, name) {
  var link = document.createElement("a");
  link.download = name;
  link.href = uri;
  document.body.appendChild(link);
  link.click();
  document.body.removeChild(link);
  delete link;
}

And the following example shows it's use:

downloadURI("data:text/html,HelloWorld!", "helloWorld.txt");

System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable' does not contain any definition for 'ToList'

An alternative to adding LINQ would be to use this code instead:

How to use the DropDownList's SelectedIndexChanged event

The most basic way you can do this in SelectedIndexChanged events of DropDownLists. Check this code..

MVVM: Tutorial from start to finish?

I have written an application using WPF, Prism and MVVM to simulate hiring a cab, you can read about it on my blog, download the source here and play with it.

Can you force Vue.js to reload/re-render?

Why?

...do you need to force an update?

Perhaps you are not exploring Vue at its best:

To have Vue automatically react to value changes, the objects must be initially declared in data. Or, if not, they must be added using Vue.set().

See comments in the demo below. Or open the same demo in a JSFiddle here.

How to split a string in Ruby and get all items except the first one?

Try this:

first, *rest = ex.split(/, /)

Now first will be the first value, rest will be the rest of the array.

Django template how to look up a dictionary value with a variable

For me creating a python file named template_filters.py in my App with below content did the job

# coding=utf-8
from django.template.base import Library

register = Library()


@register.filter
def get_item(dictionary, key):
    return dictionary.get(key)

usage is like what culebrón said :

{{ mydict|get_item:item.NAME }}

How to create a POJO?

POJO class acts as a bean which is used to set and get the value.

public class Data
{


private int id;
    private String deptname;
    private String date;
    private String name;
    private String mdate;
    private String mname;

    public int getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(int id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public String getDeptname() {
        return deptname;
    }

    public void setDeptname(String deptname) {
        this.deptname = deptname;
    }

    public String getDate() {
        return date;
    }

    public void setDate(String date) {
        this.date = date;
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    public String getMdate() {
        return mdate;
    }

    public void setMdate(String mdate) {
        this.mdate = mdate;
    }

    public String getMname() {
        return mname;
    }

    public void setMname(String mname) {
        this.mname = mname;
    }
}

How to give the background-image path in CSS?

you can also add inline css for adding image as a background as per below example

Gcc error: gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1': execvp: No such file or directory

Documenting another source of errors for installing gcc-10 on Amazon Linux 2 from source.

After running sudo make install and then testing gcc-10 I got this error:

gcc-10: fatal error: cannot execute ‘cc1’: execvp: No such file or directory

The reason was that the new g++ directories under /usr/local/ were created by sudo make install have 700 permissions so non-root users cannot see the directories content.

I fixed it by running

sudo find /usr/local/ -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;

Note that I followed this snippet https://gist.github.com/nchaigne/ad06bc867f911a3c0d32939f1e930a11

Validate Dynamically Added Input fields

The one mahesh posted is not working because the attribute name is missing:

So instead of

<input id="list" class="required"  />

You can use:

<input id="list" name="list" class="required"  />

How do I change the default library path for R packages

After a couple of hours of trying to solve the issue in several ways, some of which are described here, for me (on Win 10) the option of creating a Renviron file worked, but a little different from what was written here above. The task is to change the value of the variable R_LIBS_USER. To do this two steps needed:

  1. Create the file named Renviron (without dot) in the folder \Program\etc\ (Programm is the directory where the R installed, for example for me it was c:\Program Files\R\R-4.0.0\etc)
  2. Insert a line in Renviron with new path: R_LIBS_USER=c:/R/Library

It's been working for a few days already.

Simplest JQuery validation rules example

The input in the markup is missing "type", the input (text I assume) has the attribute name="name" and ID="cname", the provided code by Ayo calls the input named "cname"* where it should be "name".

I get a "An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format" error on a SQL Server replication project

The answer by baldy below is correct, but you may also need to enable 32-bit applications in your AppPool.

Source: http://www.alexjamesbrown.com/uncategorized/could-not-load-file-or-assembly-chilkatdotnet2-or-one-of-its-dependencies-an-attempt-was-made-to-load-a-program-with-an-incorrect-format/

Whilst setting up an application to run on my local machine (running Vista 64bit) I encountered this error:

Could not load file or assembly ChilkatDotNet2 or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.

Obviously, the application uses ChilKat components, but it would seem that the version we are using, is only the 32bit version.

To resolve this error, I set my app pool in IIS to allow 32bit applications. Open up IIS Manager, right click on the app pool, and select Advanced Settings (See below)

enter image description here

Then set "Enable 32-bit Applications" to True.

enter image description here

All done!

Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding. The statement has been terminated

Also you need to check if individual record is not getting updated in the logic because with update trigger in the place causes time out error too.

So, the solution is to make sure you perform bulk update after the loop/cursor instead of one record at a time in the loop.

Will Google Android ever support .NET?

In my opinion, it would be technically possible to convert the CLI Bytecode to Dalvik, and to write wrapper classes for some core features such as Collections, File access, etc., even it would be hard work.

But a .NET desktop application ran on android would feel alien, as it would have a classic Windows-Like GUI which is not very usable on a touch device. If, on the other hand, you were to code an android-like GUI in .NET, you would need another set of wrappers (notice that wrapping is just the other way round opposed to the wrappers mentioned above).

I'm not sure if a .NET mobile application would feel native on android, but I'd guess it wouldn't.

Maybe you're interestend in another approach: You can write your application in the Java language. You can then compile it to .NET via Microsoft J# (I know it's discontinued but you can still download and use it) and use the same Java code on android. Again, that's for the core classes aka business logic and again you would have to write tow GUIs. Maybe you can tages J2ME as well, which you will not be able to do if you use .NET.

How to use curl to get a GET request exactly same as using Chrome?

Open Chrome Developer Tools, go to Network tab, make your request (you may need to check "Preserve Log" if the page refreshes). Find the request on the left, right-click, "Copy as cURL".

How can I get the current network interface throughput statistics on Linux/UNIX?

I like iptraf but you probably have to install it and it seems to not being maintained actively anymore.

How do I pipe a subprocess call to a text file?

You could also just call the script from the terminal, outputting everything to a file, if that helps. This way:

$ /path/to/the/script.py > output.txt

This will overwrite the file. You can use >> to append to it.

If you want errors to be logged in the file as well, use &>> or &>.

How do I run a file on localhost?

i am working in VScode currently. i was wanting to run my html page just to see all my main elements.

1) first, in vs, right click desired html file and choose "copy path". do not choose relative.

2) finally, paste html path in address bar (i used chrome) and hit enter. your html page should display. hope this helps someone out.

library not found for -lPods

I had that too, Cocoapods version 0.28.0

Easy fix here, no lengthy reading: - uninstall the Cocoapods (Command line or AppCode) - erase the Podfile, Podfile.lock, Pods folder

  • reinstall the Cocoapods
  • start the newly created workspace.

dropping infinite values from dataframes in pandas?

With option context, this is possible without permanently setting use_inf_as_na. For example:

with pd.option_context('mode.use_inf_as_na', True):
    df = df.dropna(subset=['col1', 'col2'], how='all')

Of course it can be set to treat inf as NaN permanently with

pd.set_option('use_inf_as_na', True)

For older versions, replace use_inf_as_na with use_inf_as_null.

Add 10 seconds to a Date

I have a couple of new variants

  1. var t = new Date(Date.now() + 10000);
  2. var t = new Date(+new Date() + 10000);

PUT vs. POST in REST

The most important consideration is reliability. If a POST message gets lost the state of the system is undefined. Automatic recovery is impossible. For PUT messages, the state is undefined only until the first successful retry.

For instance, it may not be a good idea to create credit card transactions with POST.

If you happen to have auto generated URI's on your resource you can still use PUT by passing a generated URI (pointing to an empty resource) to the client.

Some other considerations:

  • POST invalidates cached copies of the entire containing resource (better consistency)
  • PUT responses are not cacheable while POST ones are (Require Content-Location and expiration)
  • PUT is less supported by e.g. Java ME, older browsers, firewalls

How to get the index with the key in Python dictionary?

No, there is no straightforward way because Python dictionaries do not have a set ordering.

From the documentation:

Keys and values are listed in an arbitrary order which is non-random, varies across Python implementations, and depends on the dictionary’s history of insertions and deletions.

In other words, the 'index' of b depends entirely on what was inserted into and deleted from the mapping before:

>>> map={}
>>> map['b']=1
>>> map
{'b': 1}
>>> map['a']=1
>>> map
{'a': 1, 'b': 1}
>>> map['c']=1
>>> map
{'a': 1, 'c': 1, 'b': 1}

As of Python 2.7, you could use the collections.OrderedDict() type instead, if insertion order is important to your application.

file_get_contents behind a proxy?

Use stream_context_set_default function. It is much easier to use as you can directly use file_get_contents or similar functions without passing any additional parameters

This blog post explains how to use it. Here is the code from that page.

<?php
// Edit the four values below
$PROXY_HOST = "proxy.example.com"; // Proxy server address
$PROXY_PORT = "1234";    // Proxy server port
$PROXY_USER = "LOGIN";    // Username
$PROXY_PASS = "PASSWORD";   // Password
// Username and Password are required only if your proxy server needs basic authentication

$auth = base64_encode("$PROXY_USER:$PROXY_PASS");
stream_context_set_default(
 array(
  'http' => array(
   'proxy' => "tcp://$PROXY_HOST:$PROXY_PORT",
   'request_fulluri' => true,
   'header' => "Proxy-Authorization: Basic $auth"
   // Remove the 'header' option if proxy authentication is not required
  )
 )
);

$url = "http://www.pirob.com/";

print_r( get_headers($url) );

echo file_get_contents($url);
?>

Sort Go map values by keys

The Go blog: Go maps in action has an excellent explanation.

When iterating over a map with a range loop, the iteration order is not specified and is not guaranteed to be the same from one iteration to the next. Since Go 1 the runtime randomizes map iteration order, as programmers relied on the stable iteration order of the previous implementation. If you require a stable iteration order you must maintain a separate data structure that specifies that order.

Here's my modified version of example code: http://play.golang.org/p/dvqcGPYy3-

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "sort"
)

func main() {
    // To create a map as input
    m := make(map[int]string)
    m[1] = "a"
    m[2] = "c"
    m[0] = "b"

    // To store the keys in slice in sorted order
    keys := make([]int, len(m))
    i := 0
    for k := range m {
        keys[i] = k
        i++
    }
    sort.Ints(keys)

    // To perform the opertion you want
    for _, k := range keys {
        fmt.Println("Key:", k, "Value:", m[k])
    }
}

Output:

Key: 0 Value: b
Key: 1 Value: a
Key: 2 Value: c

ActiveMQ or RabbitMQ or ZeroMQ or

I've used ActiveMQ in a production environment for about 3 years now. While it gets the job done, lining up versions of the client libraries that work properly and are bug free can be an issue. Were currently looking to transition to RabbitMQ.

CURL Command Line URL Parameters

The application/x-www-form-urlencoded Content-type header is not needed. Unless the request handler expects the parameters coming from request body. Try it out:

curl -X DELETE "http://localhost:5000/locations?id=3"

or

curl -X GET "http://localhost:5000/locations?id=3"

How to trigger a file download when clicking an HTML button or JavaScript

The solution I have come up with is that you can use download attribute in anchor tag but it will only work if your html file is on the server. but you may have a question like while designing a simple html page how can we check that for that you can use VS code live server or bracket live server and you will see your download attribute will work but if you will try to open it simply by just double clicking html page it open the file instead of downloading it. conclusion: attribute download in anchor tag only works if your html file is no server.

JAX-RS — How to return JSON and HTTP status code together?

Expanding on the answer of Nthalk with Microprofile OpenAPI you can align the return code with your documentation using @APIResponse annotation.

This allows tagging a JAX-RS method like

@GET
@APIResponse(responseCode = "204")
public Resource getResource(ResourceRequest request) 

You can parse this standardized annotation with a ContainerResponseFilter

@Provider
public class StatusFilter implements ContainerResponseFilter {

    @Override
    public void filter(ContainerRequestContext requestContext, ContainerResponseContext responseContext) {
        if (responseContext.getStatus() == 200) {
            for (final var annotation : responseContext.getEntityAnnotations()) {
                if (annotation instanceof APIResponse response) {
                    final var rawCode = response.responseCode();
                    final var statusCode = Integer.parseInt(rawCode);

                    responseContext.setStatus(statusCode);
                }
            }
        }
    }

}

A caveat occurs when you put multiple annotations on your method like

@APIResponse(responseCode = "201", description = "first use case")
@APIResponse(responseCode = "204", description = "because you can")
public Resource getResource(ResourceRequest request) 

css3 text-shadow in IE9

Try CSS Generator.

You can choose values and see the results online. Then you get the code in the clipboard.
This is one example of generated code:

text-shadow: 1px 1px 2px #a8aaad;
filter: dropshadow(color=#a8aaad, offx=1, offy=1);

TypeError: Object of type 'bytes' is not JSON serializable

You are creating those bytes objects yourself:

item['title'] = [t.encode('utf-8') for t in title]
item['link'] = [l.encode('utf-8') for l in link]
item['desc'] = [d.encode('utf-8') for d in desc]
items.append(item)

Each of those t.encode(), l.encode() and d.encode() calls creates a bytes string. Do not do this, leave it to the JSON format to serialise these.

Next, you are making several other errors; you are encoding too much where there is no need to. Leave it to the json module and the standard file object returned by the open() call to handle encoding.

You also don't need to convert your items list to a dictionary; it'll already be an object that can be JSON encoded directly:

class W3SchoolPipeline(object):    
    def __init__(self):
        self.file = open('w3school_data_utf8.json', 'w', encoding='utf-8')

    def process_item(self, item, spider):
        line = json.dumps(item) + '\n'
        self.file.write(line)
        return item

I'm guessing you followed a tutorial that assumed Python 2, you are using Python 3 instead. I strongly suggest you find a different tutorial; not only is it written for an outdated version of Python, if it is advocating line.decode('unicode_escape') it is teaching some extremely bad habits that'll lead to hard-to-track bugs. I can recommend you look at Think Python, 2nd edition for a good, free, book on learning Python 3.

Formatting a number with leading zeros in PHP

Though I'm not really sure what you want to do you are probably looking for sprintf.

This would be:

$value = sprintf( '%08d', 1234567 );

Postgres "psql not recognized as an internal or external command"

If you tried all the answers and still spinning your heads, don't forget to change the version with your one which you downloaded.

For example, don't simply copy paste

;C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.5\bin ;C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.5\lib

More clearly,

;C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\[Your Version]\bin ;C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\[Your Version]\lib

I was spinning my heads. Hope this helps.

How to remove all namespaces from XML with C#?

The reply's by Jimmy and Peter were a great help, but they actually removed all attributes, so I made a slight modification:

Imports System.Runtime.CompilerServices

Friend Module XElementExtensions

    <Extension()> _
    Public Function RemoveAllNamespaces(ByVal element As XElement) As XElement
        If element.HasElements Then
            Dim cleanElement = RemoveAllNamespaces(New XElement(element.Name.LocalName, element.Attributes))
            cleanElement.Add(element.Elements.Select(Function(el) RemoveAllNamespaces(el)))
            Return cleanElement
        Else
            Dim allAttributesExceptNamespaces = element.Attributes.Where(Function(attr) Not attr.IsNamespaceDeclaration)
            element.ReplaceAttributes(allAttributesExceptNamespaces)
            Return element
        End If

    End Function

End Module

Error: vector does not name a type

You need to either qualify vector with its namespace (which is std), or import the namespace at the top of your CPP file:

using namespace std;

What 'additional configuration' is necessary to reference a .NET 2.0 mixed mode assembly in a .NET 4.0 project?

In order to use a CLR 2.0 mixed mode assembly, you need to modify your App.Config file to include:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0"/>
</startup>
</configuration>

The key is the useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy flag. This causes the CLR to use the latest version (4.0) to load your mixed mode assembly. Without this, it will not work.

Note that this only matters for mixed mode (C++/CLI) assemblies. You can load all managed CLR 2 assemblies without specifying this in app.config.

psql: could not connect to server: No such file or directory (Mac OS X)

After completing the updating process when I restart my system error gone. And its work like charm as before.. I guess this was happened as pg was updating and another process started.

What happens to a declared, uninitialized variable in C? Does it have a value?

Because computers have finite storage capacity, automatic variables will typically be held in storage elements (whether registers or RAM) that have previously been used for some other arbitrary purpose. If a such a variable is used before a value has been assigned to it, that storage may hold whatever it held previously, and so the contents of the variable will be unpredictable.

As an additional wrinkle, many compilers may keep variables in registers which are larger than the associated types. Although a compiler would be required to ensure that any value which is written to a variable and read back will be truncated and/or sign-extended to its proper size, many compilers will perform such truncation when variables are written and expect that it will have been performed before the variable is read. On such compilers, something like:

uint16_t hey(uint32_t x, uint32_t mode)
{ uint16_t q; 
  if (mode==1) q=2; 
  if (mode==3) q=4; 
  return q; }

 uint32_t wow(uint32_t mode) {
   return hey(1234567, mode);
 }

might very well result in wow() storing the values 1234567 into registers 0 and 1, respectively, and calling foo(). Since x isn't needed within "foo", and since functions are supposed to put their return value into register 0, the compiler may allocate register 0 to q. If mode is 1 or 3, register 0 will be loaded with 2 or 4, respectively, but if it is some other value, the function may return whatever was in register 0 (i.e. the value 1234567) even though that value is not within the range of uint16_t.

To avoid requiring compilers to do extra work to ensure that uninitialized variables never seem to hold values outside their domain, and avoid needing to specify indeterminate behaviors in excessive detail, the Standard says that use of uninitialized automatic variables is Undefined Behavior. In some cases, the consequences of this may be even more surprising than a value being outside the range of its type. For example, given:

void moo(int mode)
{
  if (mode < 5)
    launch_nukes();
  hey(0, mode);      
}

a compiler could infer that because invoking moo() with a mode which is greater than 3 will inevitably lead to the program invoking Undefined Behavior, the compiler may omit any code which would only be relevant if mode is 4 or greater, such as the code which would normally prevent the launch of nukes in such cases. Note that neither the Standard, nor modern compiler philosophy, would care about the fact that the return value from "hey" is ignored--the act of trying to return it gives a compiler unlimited license to generate arbitrary code.

xargs's parallelism also helps.

Funnily enough i cannot explain the last case of xargs without -n1. It gives the correct result and it's the fastest ¯\_(?)_/¯

(basename takes only 1 path argument but xargs will send them all (actually 5000) without -n1. does not work on linux and openbsd, only macOS...)

Some bigger numbers from a linux system to see how -execdir helps, but still much slower than a parallel xargs:

$ alias f='time find /usr/ -maxdepth 5 -type d'
$ f -exec basename {} \; | wc -l; \
f -execdir echo {} \; | wc -l; \
f -print0 | xargs -0 -n1 basename | wc -l; \
f -print0 | xargs -0 -n1 -P 8 basename | wc -l

Remove ListView items in Android

You can use

adapter.clear() 

that will remove all item of your first adapter then you could either set another adapter or reuse the adapter and add the items to the old adapter. If you use

adapter.add()

to add data to your list you don't need to call notifyDataSetChanged

NOT IN vs NOT EXISTS

They are very similar but not really the same.

In terms of efficiency, I've found the left join is null statement more efficient (when an abundance of rows are to be selected that is)

Best way to structure a tkinter application?

OOP should be the approach and frame should be a class variable instead of instance variable.

from Tkinter import *
class App:
  def __init__(self, master):
    frame = Frame(master)
    frame.pack()
    self.button = Button(frame, 
                         text="QUIT", fg="red",
                         command=frame.quit)
    self.button.pack(side=LEFT)
    self.slogan = Button(frame,
                         text="Hello",
                         command=self.write_slogan)
    self.slogan.pack(side=LEFT)
  def write_slogan(self):
    print "Tkinter is easy to use!"

root = Tk()
app = App(root)
root.mainloop()

How to set custom favicon in Express?

No need for custom middleware?! In express:

 //you probably have something like this already    
app.use("/public", express.static('public')); 

Then put your favicon in public and add the following line in your html's head:

<link rel="icon" href="/public/favicon.ico">

Transfer data between databases with PostgreSQL

You can not perform a cross-database query like SQL Server; PostgreSQL does not support this.

The DbLink extension of PostgreSQL is used to connect one database to another database. You have install and configure DbLink to execute a cross-database query.

I have already created a step-by-step script and example for executing cross database query in PostgreSQL. Please visit this post: PostgreSQL [Video]: Cross Database Queries using the DbLink Extension

JavaScript getElementByID() not working

You need to put the JavaScript at the end of the body tag.

It doesn't find it because it's not in the DOM yet!

You can also wrap it in the onload event handler like this:

var refButton = document.getElementById( 'btnButton' );
refButton.onclick = function() {
   alert( 'I am clicked!' );
}
}

How to list files inside a folder with SQL Server

Can be done using xp_DirTree, then looping through to generate a full file path if required.

Here is an extract of a script I use to restore databases to a test server automatically. It scans a folder and all subfolders for any backup files, then returns the full path.


  DECLARE @BackupDirectory SYSNAME = @BackupFolder

  IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#DirTree') IS NOT NULL
    DROP TABLE #DirTree

  CREATE TABLE #DirTree (
    Id int identity(1,1),
    SubDirectory nvarchar(255),
    Depth smallint,
    FileFlag bit,
    ParentDirectoryID int
   )

   INSERT INTO #DirTree (SubDirectory, Depth, FileFlag)
   EXEC master..xp_dirtree @BackupDirectory, 10, 1

   UPDATE #DirTree
   SET ParentDirectoryID = (
    SELECT MAX(Id) FROM #DirTree d2
    WHERE Depth = d.Depth - 1 AND d2.Id < d.Id
   )
   FROM #DirTree d

  DECLARE 
    @ID INT,
    @BackupFile VARCHAR(MAX),
    @Depth TINYINT,
    @FileFlag BIT,
    @ParentDirectoryID INT,
    @wkSubParentDirectoryID INT,
    @wkSubDirectory VARCHAR(MAX)

  DECLARE @BackupFiles TABLE
  (
    FileNamePath VARCHAR(MAX),
    TransLogFlag BIT,
    BackupFile VARCHAR(MAX),    
    DatabaseName VARCHAR(MAX)
  )

  DECLARE FileCursor CURSOR LOCAL FORWARD_ONLY FOR
  SELECT * FROM #DirTree WHERE FileFlag = 1

  OPEN FileCursor
  FETCH NEXT FROM FileCursor INTO 
    @ID,
    @BackupFile,
    @Depth,
    @FileFlag,
    @ParentDirectoryID  

  SET @wkSubParentDirectoryID = @ParentDirectoryID

  WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
  BEGIN
    --loop to generate path in reverse, starting with backup file then prefixing subfolders in a loop
    WHILE @wkSubParentDirectoryID IS NOT NULL
    BEGIN
      SELECT @wkSubDirectory = SubDirectory, @wkSubParentDirectoryID = ParentDirectoryID 
      FROM #DirTree 
      WHERE ID = @wkSubParentDirectoryID

      SELECT @BackupFile = @wkSubDirectory + '\' + @BackupFile
    END

    --no more subfolders in loop so now prefix the root backup folder
    SELECT @BackupFile = @BackupDirectory + @BackupFile

    --put backupfile into a table and then later work out which ones are log and full backups  
    INSERT INTO @BackupFiles (FileNamePath) VALUES(@BackupFile)

    FETCH NEXT FROM FileCursor INTO 
      @ID,
      @BackupFile,
      @Depth,
      @FileFlag,
      @ParentDirectoryID 

    SET @wkSubParentDirectoryID = @ParentDirectoryID      
  END

  CLOSE FileCursor
  DEALLOCATE FileCursor

What is the difference between id and class in CSS, and when should I use them?

For more info on this click here.

Example

<div id="header_id" class="header_class">Text</div>

#header_id {font-color:#fff}
.header_class {font-color:#000}

(Note that CSS uses the prefix # for IDs and . for Classes.)

However color was an HTML 4.01 <font> tag attribute deprecated in HTML 5. In CSS there is no "font-color", the style is color so the above should read:

Example

<div id="header_id" class="header_class">Text</div>

#header_id {color:#fff}
.header_class {color:#000}

The text would be white.

Creating a simple configuration file and parser in C++

Why not trying something simple and human-readable, like JSON (or XML) ?

There are many pre-made open-source implementations of JSON (or XML) for C++ - I would use one of them.

And if you want something more "binary" - try BJSON or BSON :)

Batch file to delete folders older than 10 days in Windows 7

Adapted from this answer to a very similar question:

FORFILES /S /D -10 /C "cmd /c IF @isdir == TRUE rd /S /Q @path"

You should run this command from within your d:\study folder. It will delete all subfolders which are older than 10 days.

The /S /Q after the rd makes it delete folders even if they are not empty, without prompting.

I suggest you put the above command into a .bat file, and save it as d:\study\cleanup.bat.

How do I make this file.sh executable via double click?

  1. Launch Terminal
  2. Type -> nano fileName
  3. Paste Batch file content and save it
  4. Type -> chmod +x fileName
  5. It will create exe file now you can double click and it.

File name should in under double quotes. Since i am using Mac->In my case content of batch file is

cd /Users/yourName/Documents/SeleniumServer

java -jar selenium-server-standalone-3.3.1.jar -role hub

It will work for sure

How to turn IDENTITY_INSERT on and off using SQL Server 2008?

I had a problem where it did not allow me to insert it even after setting the IDENTITY_INSERT ON.

The problem was that i did not specify the column names and for some reason it did not like it.

INSERT INTO tbl Values(vals)

So basically do the full INSERT INTO tbl(cols) Values(vals)

Capture close event on Bootstrap Modal

I tried using it and didn't work, guess it's just the modal versioin.

});

Just to update the answer =)

Python pandas: fill a dataframe row by row

My approach was, but I can't guarantee that this is the fastest solution.

df = df.append({
     "firstname": "John",
     "lastname":  "Johny"
      }, ignore_index=True)

How to filter files when using scp to copy dir recursively?

Since you can scp you should be ok to ssh,
either script the following or login and execute...

# After reaching the server of interest
cd /usr/some/unknown/number/of/sub/folders
tar cfj pack.tar.bz2 $(find . -type f -name *.class)

return back (logout) to local server and scp,

# from the local machine
cd /usr/project/backup/some/unknown/number/of/sub/folders
scp you@server:/usr/some/unknown/number/of/sub/folders/pack.tar.bz2 .
tar xfj pack.tar.bz2

If you find the $(find ...) is too long for your tar change to,

find . -type f -name *.class | xargs tar cfj pack.tar.bz2

Finally, since you are keeping it in /usr/project/backup/,
why bother extraction? Just keep the tar.bz2, with maybe a date+time stamp.

Expression must be a modifiable L-value

lvalue means "left value" -- it should be assignable. You cannot change the value of text since it is an array, not a pointer.

Either declare it as char pointer (in this case it's better to declare it as const char*):

const char *text;
if(number == 2) 
    text = "awesome"; 
else 
    text = "you fail";

Or use strcpy:

char text[60];
if(number == 2) 
    strcpy(text, "awesome"); 
else 
    strcpy(text, "you fail");

gradlew: Permission Denied

This issue occur when you migrate your android project build in windows to any unix operating system (Linux). So you need to run the below command in your project directory to convert dos Line Break to Unix Line Break.

find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 dos2unix

If you dont have dos2unix installed. Install it using

In CentOs/Fedora

yum install dos2unix

In Ubuntu and other distributions

sudo apt install dos2unix

HTML code for an apostrophe

Even though &apos; reads nicer than &#39; and it's a shame not to use it, as a fail-safe, use &#39;.

&apos; is a valid HTML 5 entity, however it is not a valid HTML 4 entity.

Unless <!DOCTYPE html> is at the top of your HTML document, use &#39;

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

My solution, also quite simple..

$array = [...];
$last = count($array) - 1;

foreach($array as $index => $value) 
{
     if($index == $last)
        // this is last array
     else
        // this is not last array
}

sorting dictionary python 3

dict does not keep its elements' order. What you need is an OrderedDict: http://docs.python.org/library/collections.html#collections.OrderedDict

edit

Usage example:

>>> from collections import OrderedDict
>>> a = {'foo': 1, 'bar': 2}
>>> a
{'foo': 1, 'bar': 2}
>>> b = OrderedDict(sorted(a.items()))
>>> b
OrderedDict([('bar', 2), ('foo', 1)])
>>> b['foo']
1
>>> b['bar']
2

The xlsxwriter library is great for creating .xlsx files. The following snippet generates an .xlsx file from a list of dicts while stating the order and the displayed names:

    with Workbook(file_path) as workbook:
        worksheet = workbook.add_worksheet()
        worksheet.write_row(row=0, col=0, data=headers.values())
        header_keys = list(headers.keys())
        for index, item in enumerate(items):
            row = map(lambda field_id: item.get(field_id, ''), header_keys)
            worksheet.write_row(row=index + 1, col=0, data=row)


headers = {
    'id': 'User Id',
    'name': 'Full Name',
    'rating': 'Rating',
}

items = [
    {'id': 1, 'name': "Ilir Meta", 'rating': 0.06},
    {'id': 2, 'name': "Abdelmadjid Tebboune", 'rating': 4.0},
    {'id': 3, 'name': "Alexander Lukashenko", 'rating': 3.1},
    {'id': 4, 'name': "Miguel Díaz-Canel", 'rating': 0.32}
]

Note 2 - If you're not using Python3.6 or newer, consider using OrderedDict in headers. Before Python3.6 the order in dict was not preserved.


TSQL DATETIME ISO 8601

For ISO 8601 format for Datetime & Datetime2, below is the recommendation from SQL Server. It does not support basic ISO 8601 format for datetime(yyyyMMddThhmmss).

DateTime

YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss[.mmm]

YYYYMMDD[ hh:mm:ss[.mmm]]

Examples:

  1. 2004-05-23T14:25:10

  2. 2004-05-23T14:25:10.487

Datetime2

YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss[.nnnnnnn]

YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss[.nnnnnnn] Examples:

  1. 2004-05-23T14:25:10

  2. 2004-05-23T14:25:10.8849926

You can convert them using 126 option

--Datetime

DECLARE @table Table(ExtendedDate DATETIME, BasicDate Datetime)

DECLARE @ExtendedDate VARCHAR(30) = '2020-07-01T08:39:17' , @BasicDate VARCHAR(30) = '2009-01-23T10:53:21.000'

INSERT INTO @table(ExtendedDate, BasicDate)
SELECT convert(datetime,@ExtendedDate,126) ,convert(datetime,@BasicDate,126)

SELECT * FROM @table
go

-- Datetime2

DECLARE @table Table(ExtendedDate DATETIME2, BasicDate Datetime2)

DECLARE @ExtendedDate VARCHAR(30) = '2000-01-14T13:42:00.0000000' , @BasicDate VARCHAR(30) = '2009-01-23T10:53:21.0000000'

INSERT INTO @table(ExtendedDate, BasicDate)
SELECT convert(datetime2,@ExtendedDate,126) ,convert(datetime2,@BasicDate,126)

SELECT * FROM @table
go

Datetime

+-------------------------+-------------------------+
|      ExtendedDate       |        BasicDate        |
+-------------------------+-------------------------+
| 2020-07-01 08:39:17.000 | 2009-01-23 10:53:21.000 |

Datetime2


+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
|        ExtendedDate         |          BasicDate          |

Python try-else

I would add another use case that seems straight forward when handling DB sessions:

    # getting a DB connection 
    conn = db.engine.connect()

    # and binding to a DB session
    session = db.get_session(bind=conn)

    try:
        # we build the query to DB
        q = session.query(MyTable).filter(MyTable.col1 == 'query_val')

        # i.e retrieve one row
        data_set = q.one_or_none()

        # return results
        return [{'col1': data_set.col1, 'col2': data_set.col2, ...}]

    except:
        # here we make sure to rollback the transaction, 
        # handy when we update stuff into DB
        session.rollback()
        raise

    else:
        # when no errors then we can commit DB changes
        session.commit()

    finally:
        # and finally we can close the session
        session.close()

Re-assign host access permission to MySQL user

I received the same error with RENAME USER and GRANTS aren't covered by the currently accepted solution:

The most reliable way seems to be to run SHOW GRANTS for the old user, find/replace what you want to change regarding the user's name and/or host and run them and then finally DROP USER the old user. Not forgetting to run FLUSH PRIVILEGES (best to run this after adding the new users' grants, test the new user, then drop the old user and flush again for good measure).

    > SHOW GRANTS FOR 'olduser'@'oldhost';
    +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
    | Grants for olduser@oldhost                                                        |

Is there a Python equivalent to Ruby's string interpolation?

String interpolation is going to be included with Python 3.6 as specified in PEP 498. You will be able to do this:

name = 'Spongebob Squarepants'
print(f'Who lives in a Pineapple under the sea? \n{name}')

Note that I hate Spongebob, so writing this was slightly painful. :)

    // what the y position of the scroll is
    var y = $(this).scrollTop();

    // whether that's below the form
    if (y >= vTop) {
      // if so, ad the fixed class
      $cache.addClass('stuck');
    } else {
      // otherwise remove it
      $cache.removeClass('stuck');
    }
  });

css:

.my-sticky-element.stuck {
    position:fixed;
    top:0;
    box-shadow:0 2px 4px rgba(0, 0, 0, .3);
}

Combine GET and POST request methods in Spring

@RequestMapping(value = "/books", method = { RequestMethod.GET, 
RequestMethod.POST })
public ModelAndView listBooks(@ModelAttribute("booksFilter") BooksFilter filter,
     HttpServletRequest request) 
    throws ParseException {

//your code 
}

This will works for both GET and POST.

For GET if your pojo(BooksFilter) have to contain the attribute which you're using in request parameter

like below

public class BooksFilter{

private String parameter1;
private String parameter2;

   //getters and setters

URl should be like below

/books?parameter1=blah

Like this way u can use it for both GET and POST

What is the significance of 1/1/1753 in SQL Server?

Incidentally, Windows no longer knows how to correctly convert UTC to U.S. local time for certain dates in March/April or October/November of past years. UTC-based timestamps from those dates are now somewhat nonsensical. It would be very icky for the OS to simply refuse to handle any timestamps prior to the U.S. government's latest set of DST rules, so it simply handles some of them wrong. SQL Server refuses to process dates before 1753 because lots of extra special logic would be required to handle them correctly and it doesn't want to handle them wrong.

Storing Form Data as a Session Variable

You can solve this problem using this code:

if(!empty($_GET['variable from which you get'])) 
{
$_SESSION['something']= $_GET['variable from which you get'];
}

So you get the variable from a GET form, you will store in the $_SESSION['whatever'] variable just once when $_GET['variable from which you get']is set and if it is empty $_SESSION['something'] will store the old parameter

Not connecting to SQL Server over VPN

I was having this issue too with SQL Server 2017.

I'm on the same network as the server via VPN and can ping it. After being frustrated that no authentication method would work - I set up an SSH server on the SQL server - and I was able to connect normally. This confirmed the correct port wasn't being hit for some reason. I even created a new user accounts, domain accounts, firewall checks on both ends, etc...

The solution for me was: 1. Set Connection to strictly use TCP/IP on SSMS 2. Use a custom string to point to the default port (ex: Data Source=192.168.168.166,1433;)

All the other comments above haven't worked so far. It looks like it was mandatory to include the port (even though its default).

matplotlib colorbar for scatter

From the matplotlib docs on scatter 1:

cmap is only used if c is an array of floats

So colorlist needs to be a list of floats rather than a list of tuples as you have it now. plt.colorbar() wants a mappable object, like the CircleCollection that plt.scatter() returns. vmin and vmax can then control the limits of your colorbar. Things outside vmin/vmax get the colors of the endpoints.

How does this work for you?

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
cm = plt.cm.get_cmap('RdYlBu')
xy = range(20)
z = xy
sc = plt.scatter(xy, xy, c=z, vmin=0, vmax=20, s=35, cmap=cm)
plt.colorbar(sc)
plt.show()

How to check if a map contains a key in Go?

    var empty struct{}
    var ok bool
    var m map[string]struct{}
    m = make(map[string]struct{})
    m["somestring"] = empty


    _, ok = m["somestring"]

    fmt.Println("not exists?", ok)

Then, go run maps.go somestring exists? true not exists? false

Run Jquery function on window events: load, resize, and scroll?

just call your function inside the events.

load:

$(document).ready(function(){  // or  $(window).load(function(){
    topInViewport($(mydivname));
});

resize:

$(window).resize(function () {
    topInViewport($(mydivname));
});

scroll:

$(window).scroll(function () {
    topInViewport($(mydivname));
});

or bind all event in one function

$(window).on("load scroll resize",function(e){

starting file download with JavaScript

In relation to the top answer I have a possible solution to the security risk.

<?php
     if(isset($_GET['path'])){
         if(in_array($_GET['path'], glob("*/*.*"))){
             header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
             header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".$_GET['path']);
             readfile($_GET['path']);
         }
     }
?>

Using the glob() function (I tested the download file in a path one folder up from the file to be downloaded) I was able to make a quick array of files that are "allowed" to be downloaded and checked the passed path against it. Not only does this insure that the file being grabbed isn't something sensitive but also checks on the files existence at the same time.

~Note: Javascript / HTML~

HTML:

<iframe id="download" style="display:none"></iframe>

and

<input type="submit" value="Download" onclick="ChangeSource('document_path');return false;">

JavaScript:

<script type="text/javascript">
    <!--
        function ChangeSource(path){
            document.getElementByID('download').src = 'path_to_php?path=' + document_path;
        }
    -->
</script>

Android button font size

Another programmatically approach;

final Button btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnSize);

        final float[] size = {12};

        btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                size[0] +=2;
                btn.setTextSize(size[0] +2);
            }
        });

Every time you click your button, Button text will be change (+2px size). You can add another button and change size -2px too. If you want to save size for another openings, you may use Shared Preference interface.

NVIDIA NVML Driver/library version mismatch

Surprise surprise, rebooting solved the issue (I thought I had already tried that).

The solution Robert Crovella mentioned in the comments may also be useful to someone else, since it's pretty similar to what I did to solve the issue the first time I had it.

Trust Store vs Key Store - creating with keytool

These are the steps to create a Truststore in your local machine using Keytool. Steps to create truststore for a URL in your local machine.

1) Hit the url in the browser using chrome

2) Check for the "i" icon to the left of the url in the chrome and click it

3) Check for certificate option and click it and a Dialog box will open

4) check the "certificate path" tab for the number of certificates available to create the truststore

5) Go the "details" tab -> click"Copy to File" -> Give the path and the name for the certificate you want to create.

6) Check if it has parent certificates and follow the point "5".

7) After all the certificates are being create open Command Prompt and navigate to the path where you created the certificates.

8) provide the below Keytool command to add the certificates and create a truststore.

Sample: 
   keytool -import -alias abcdefg -file abcdefg.cer -keystore cacerts
        where "abcdefg" is the alias name and "abcdefg.cer" is the actual certificate name and "cacerts" is the truststore name

9) Provide the keytool command for all the certificates and add them to the trust store.

    keytool -list -v -keystore cacerts

How to stop event propagation with inline onclick attribute?

Keep in mind that window.event is not supported in FireFox, and therefore it must be something along the lines of:

e.cancelBubble = true

Or, you can use the W3C standard for FireFox:

e.stopPropagation();

If you want to get fancy, you can do this:

function myEventHandler(e)
{
    if (!e)
      e = window.event;

    //IE9 & Other Browsers
    if (e.stopPropagation) {
      e.stopPropagation();
    }
    //IE8 and Lower
    else {
      e.cancelBubble = true;
    }
}

How to make HTML table cell editable?

You can use the contenteditable attribute on the cells, rows, or table in question.

Updated for IE8 compatibility

<table>
<tr><td><div contenteditable>I'm editable</div></td><td><div contenteditable>I'm also editable</div></td></tr>
<tr><td>I'm not editable</td></tr>
</table>

Just note that if you make the table editable, in Mozilla at least, you can delete rows, etc.

You'd also need to check whether your target audience's browsers supported this attribute.

As far as listening for the changes (so you can send to the server), see contenteditable change events

How to unzip files programmatically in Android?

I'm working with zip files which Java's ZipFile class isn't able to handle. Java 8 apparently can't handle compression method 12 (bzip2 I believe). After trying a number of methods including zip4j (which also fails with these particular files due to another issue), I had success with Apache's commons-compress which supports additional compression methods as mentioned here.

Note that the ZipFile class below is not the one from java.util.zip.

It's actually org.apache.commons.compress.archivers.zip.ZipFile so be careful with the imports.

try (ZipFile zipFile = new ZipFile(archiveFile)) {
    Enumeration<ZipArchiveEntry> entries = zipFile.getEntries();
    while (entries.hasMoreElements()) {
        ZipArchiveEntry entry = entries.nextElement();
        File entryDestination = new File(destination, entry.getName());
        if (entry.isDirectory()) {
            entryDestination.mkdirs();
        } else {
            entryDestination.getParentFile().mkdirs();
            try (InputStream in = zipFile.getInputStream(entry); OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(entryDestination)) {
                IOUtils.copy(in, out);
            }
        }
    }
} catch (IOException ex) {
    log.debug("Error unzipping archive file: " + archiveFile, ex);
}

For Gradle:

compile 'org.apache.commons:commons-compress:1.18'

How do I generate random numbers in Dart?

Use Random class from dart:math:

import 'dart:math';

main() {
  var rng = new Random();
  for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    print(rng.nextInt(100));
  }
}

This code was tested with the Dart VM and dart2js, as of the time of this writing.

Sqlite in chrome

I'm not quite sure if you mean 'can i use sqlite (websql) in chrome' or 'can i use sqlite (websql) in firefox', so I'll answer both:

Note that WebSQL is not a full-access pipe into an .sqlite database. It's WebSQL. You will not be able to run some specific queries like VACUUM

It's awesome for Create / Read / Update / Delete though. I made a little library that helps with all the annoying nitty gritty like creating tables and querying and a provides a little ORM/ActiveRecord pattern with relations and all and a huge stack of examples that should get you started in no-time, you can check that here

Also, be aware that if you want to build a FireFox extension: Their extension format is about to change. Make sure you want to invest the time twice.

While the WebSQL spec has been deprecated for years, even now in 2017 still does not look like it will be be removed from Chrome for the foreseeable time. They are tracking usage statistics and there are still a large number of chrome extensions and websites out there in the real world implementing the spec.

Using Java 8's Optional with Stream::flatMap

As my previous answer appeared not to be very popular, I will give this another go.

A short answer:

You are mostly on a right track. The shortest code to get to your desired output I could come up with is this:

things.stream()
      .map(this::resolve)
      .filter(Optional::isPresent)
      .findFirst()
      .flatMap( Function.identity() );

This will fit all your requirements:

  1. It will find first response that resolves to a nonempty Optional<Result>
  2. It calls this::resolve lazily as needed
  3. this::resolve will not be called after first non-empty result
  4. It will return Optional<Result>

Longer answer

The only modification compared to OP initial version was that I removed .map(Optional::get) before call to .findFirst() and added .flatMap(o -> o) as the last call in the chain.

This has a nice effect of getting rid of the double-Optional, whenever stream finds an actual result.

You can't really go any shorter than this in Java.

The alternative snippet of code using the more conventional for loop technique is going to be about same number of lines of code and have more or less same order and number of operations you need to perform:

  1. Calling this.resolve,
  2. filtering based on Optional.isPresent
  3. returning the result and
  4. some way of dealing with negative result (when nothing was found)

Just to prove that my solution works as advertised, I wrote a small test program:

public class StackOverflow {

    public static void main( String... args ) {
        try {
            final int integer = Stream.of( args )
                    .peek( s -> System.out.println( "Looking at " + s ) )
                    .map( StackOverflow::resolve )
                    .filter( Optional::isPresent )
                    .findFirst()
                    .flatMap( o -> o )
                    .orElseThrow( NoSuchElementException::new )
                    .intValue();

            System.out.println( "First integer found is " + integer );
        }
        catch ( NoSuchElementException e ) {
            System.out.println( "No integers provided!" );
        }
    }

    private static Optional<Integer> resolve( String string ) {
        try {
            return Optional.of( Integer.valueOf( string ) );
        }
        catch ( NumberFormatException e )
        {
            System.out.println( '"' + string + '"' + " is not an integer");
            return Optional.empty();
        }
    }

}

(It does have few extra lines for debugging and verifying that only as many calls to resolve as needed...)

Executing this on a command line, I got the following results:

$ java StackOferflow a b 3 c 4
Looking at a
"a" is not an integer
Looking at b
"b" is not an integer
Looking at 3
First integer found is 3

What is the difference between GitHub and gist?

My personal understanding or to say my personal usage of Gist and Github is:

  • Github

A big project work. If you wanna build website, develop mobile or web application or do your assignment with your teammates of course use github.

  • Gist

more like a memo. for example you can write the implementation of a small feature and share it to your blog or write down what you think about the project and share it with your teammates. Just like what the above answers said, gist is used for more like code snippet thing. So normally if you work on a project you use github.

How do I set a checkbox in razor view?

The syntax in your last line is correct.

 @Html.CheckBoxFor(x => x.Test, new { @checked = "checked" })

That should definitely work. It is the correct syntax. If you have an existing model and AllowRating is set to true then MVC will add the checked attribute automatically. If AllowRating is set to false MVC won't add the attribute however if desired you can using the above syntax.

How to get HttpClient to pass credentials along with the request?

What you are trying to do is get NTLM to forward the identity on to the next server, which it cannot do - it can only do impersonation which only gives you access to local resources. It won't let you cross a machine boundary. Kerberos authentication supports delegation (what you need) by using tickets, and the ticket can be forwarded on when all servers and applications in the chain are correctly configured and Kerberos is set up correctly on the domain. So, in short you need to switch from using NTLM to Kerberos.

Search an array for matching attribute

In this case i would use the ECMAscript 5 Array.filter. The following solution requires array.filter() that doesn't exist in all versions of IE.

Shims can be found here: MDN Array.filter or ES5-shim

var result = restaurants.filter(function (chain) {
    return chain.restaurant.food === "chicken";

Array of Matrices in MATLAB

myArrayOfMatrices = zeros(unknown,500,800);

If you're running out of memory throw more RAM in your system, and make sure you're running a 64 bit OS. Also try reducing your precision (do you really need doubles or can you get by with singles?):

myArrayOfMatrices = zeros(unknown,500,800,'single');

To append to that array try:

myArrayOfMatrices(unknown+1,:,:) = zeros(500,800);

How can I find all matches to a regular expression in Python?

Use re.findall or re.finditer instead.

re.findall(pattern, string) returns a list of matching strings.

re.finditer(pattern, string) returns an iterator over MatchObject objects.

Example:

re.findall( r'all (.*?) are', 'all cats are smarter than dogs, all dogs are dumber than cats')
# Output: ['cats', 'dogs']

[x.group() for x in re.finditer( r'all (.*?) are', 'all cats are smarter than dogs, all dogs are dumber than cats')]
# Output: ['all cats are', 'all dogs are']

How to add an action to a UIAlertView button using Swift iOS

        alertController.addAction(cancelAction)

        // Present the controller
        self.present(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)

Adding input elements dynamically to form

You could use an onclick event handler in order to get the input value for the text field. Make sure you give the field an unique id attribute so you can refer to it safely through document.getElementById():

If you want to dynamically add elements, you should have a container where to place them. For instance, a <div id="container">. Create new elements by means of document.createElement(), and use appendChild() to append each of them to the container. You might be interested in outputting a meaningful name attribute (e.g. name="member"+i for each of the dynamically generated <input>s if they are to be submitted in a form.

Notice you could also create <br/> elements with document.createElement('br'). If you want to just output some text, you can use document.createTextNode() instead.

Also, if you want to clear the container every time it is about to be populated, you could use hasChildNodes() and removeChild() together.
