Programs & Examples On #Gestures

The tag refers to a method of interaction with graphical user interface. Instead of simply choosing, user may draw a shape (so called gesture) over an item, which is recognized by the software and triggers specific reaction. Gestures are very popular, but not limited to touchscreen applications.

How to implement swipe gestures for mobile devices?

The simplest solution I've found that doesn't require a plugin:

document.addEventListener('touchstart', handleTouchStart, false);        
document.addEventListener('touchmove', handleTouchMove, false);
var xDown = null;                                                        
var yDown = null;  

function handleTouchStart(evt) {                                         
    xDown = evt.touches[0].clientX;                                      
    yDown = evt.touches[0].clientY;                                      
}; 

function handleTouchMove(evt) {
    if ( ! xDown || ! yDown ) {
        return;
    }
    var xUp = evt.touches[0].clientX;                                    
    var yUp = evt.touches[0].clientY;
    var xDiff = xDown - xUp;
    var yDiff = yDown - yUp;

    if ( Math.abs( xDiff ) > Math.abs( yDiff ) ) {/*most significant*/
        if ( xDiff > 0 ) {
        /* left swipe */ 
        } else {
        /* right swipe */
        }                       
    } else {
        if ( yDiff > 0 ) {
        /* up swipe */ 
        } else { 
        /* down swipe */
        }                                                                 
    }
    /* reset values */
    xDown = null;
    yDown = null;                                             
};

How may I reference the script tag that loaded the currently-executing script?

To get the script, that currently loaded the script you can use

var thisScript = document.currentScript;

You need to keep a reference at the beginning of your script, so you can call later

var url = thisScript.src

How can I test if a letter in a string is uppercase or lowercase using JavaScript?

You can also use a regular expression to explicitly detect uppercase roman alphabetical characters.

isUpperCase = function(char) {
  return !!/[A-Z]/.exec(char[0]);
};

EDIT: the above function is correct for ASCII/Basic Latin Unicode, which is probably all you'll ever care about. The following version also support Latin-1 Supplement and Greek and Coptic Unicode blocks... In case you needed that for some reason.

isUpperCase = function(char) {
  return !!/[A-ZÀ-ÖØ-Þ??-??-?????????????-?]/.exec(char[0]);
};

This strategy starts to fall down if you need further support (is ? uppercase?) since some blocks intermix upper and lowercase characters.

How to change button background image on mouseOver?

In the case of winforms:

If you include the images to your resources you can do it like this, very simple and straight forward:

public Form1()
          {
               InitializeComponent();
               button1.MouseEnter += new EventHandler(button1_MouseEnter);
               button1.MouseLeave += new EventHandler(button1_MouseLeave);
          }

          void button1_MouseLeave(object sender, EventArgs e)
          {
               this.button1.BackgroundImage = ((System.Drawing.Image)(Properties.Resources.img1));
          }


          void button1_MouseEnter(object sender, EventArgs e)
          {
               this.button1.BackgroundImage = ((System.Drawing.Image)(Properties.Resources.img2));
          }

I would not recommend hardcoding image paths.

As you have altered your question ...

There is no (on)MouseOver in winforms afaik, there are MouseHover and MouseMove events, but if you change image on those, it will not change back, so the MouseEnter + MouseLeave are what you are looking for I think. Anyway, changing the image on Hover or Move :

in the constructor:
button1.MouseHover += new EventHandler(button1_MouseHover); 
button1.MouseMove += new MouseEventHandler(button1_MouseMove);

void button1_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
          {
               this.button1.BackgroundImage = ((System.Drawing.Image)(Properties.Resources.img2));
          }

          void button1_MouseHover(object sender, EventArgs e)
          {
               this.button1.BackgroundImage = ((System.Drawing.Image)(Properties.Resources.img2));
          }

To add images to your resources: Projectproperties/resources/add/existing file

Decorators with parameters?

define this "decoratorize function" to generate customized decorator function:

def decoratorize(FUN, **kw):
    def foo(*args, **kws):
        return FUN(*args, **kws, **kw)
    return foo

use it this way:

    @decoratorize(FUN, arg1 = , arg2 = , ...)
    def bar(...):
        ...

Calculate days between two Dates in Java 8

If startDate and endDate are instance of java.util.Date

We can use the between( ) method from ChronoUnit enum:

public long between(Temporal temporal1Inclusive, Temporal temporal2Exclusive) {
    //..
}

ChronoUnit.DAYS count days which completed 24 hours.

import java.time.temporal.ChronoUnit;

ChronoUnit.DAYS.between(startDate.toInstant(), endDate.toInstant());

//OR 

ChronoUnit.DAYS.between(Instant.ofEpochMilli(startDate.getTime()), Instant.ofEpochMilli(endDate.getTime()));

How to send image to PHP file using Ajax?

Here is code that will upload multiple images at once, into a specific folder!

The HTML:

<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" id="image_upload_form" action="submit_image.php">
<input type="file" name="images" id="images" multiple accept="image/x-png, image/gif, image/jpeg, image/jpg" />
<button type="submit" id="btn">Upload Files!</button>
</form>
<div id="response"></div>
<ul id="image-list">

</ul>

The PHP:

<?php
$errors = $_FILES["images"]["error"];
foreach ($errors as $key => $error) {
if ($error == UPLOAD_ERR_OK) {
    $name = $_FILES["images"]["name"][$key];
    //$ext = pathinfo($name, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
    $name = explode("_", $name);
    $imagename='';
    foreach($name as $letter){
        $imagename .= $letter;
    }

    move_uploaded_file( $_FILES["images"]["tmp_name"][$key], "images/uploads/" .  $imagename);

}
}


echo "<h2>Successfully Uploaded Images</h2>";

And finally, the JavaSCript/Ajax:

(function () {
var input = document.getElementById("images"), 
    formdata = false;

function showUploadedItem (source) {
    var list = document.getElementById("image-list"),
        li   = document.createElement("li"),
        img  = document.createElement("img");
    img.src = source;
    li.appendChild(img);
    list.appendChild(li);
}   

if (window.FormData) {
    formdata = new FormData();
    document.getElementById("btn").style.display = "none";
}

input.addEventListener("change", function (evt) {
    document.getElementById("response").innerHTML = "Uploading . . ."
    var i = 0, len = this.files.length, img, reader, file;

    for ( ; i < len; i++ ) {
        file = this.files[i];

        if (!!file.type.match(/image.*/)) {
            if ( window.FileReader ) {
                reader = new FileReader();
                reader.onloadend = function (e) { 
                    showUploadedItem(e.target.result, file.fileName);
                };
                reader.readAsDataURL(file);
            }
            if (formdata) {
                formdata.append("images[]", file);
            }
        }   
    }

    if (formdata) {
        $.ajax({
            url: "submit_image.php",
            type: "POST",
            data: formdata,
            processData: false,
            contentType: false,
            success: function (res) {
                document.getElementById("response").innerHTML = res;
            }
        });
    }
}, false);
}());

Hope this helps

How do I reference a local image in React?

As some mentioned in the comments, you can put the images in the public folder. This is also explained in the docs of Create-React-App: https://create-react-app.dev/docs/using-the-public-folder/

Change the default base url for axios

From axios docs you have baseURL and url

baseURL will be prepended to url when making requests. So you can define baseURL as http://127.0.0.1:8000 and make your requests to /url

 // `url` is the server URL that will be used for the request
 url: '/user',

 // `baseURL` will be prepended to `url` unless `url` is absolute.
 // It can be convenient to set `baseURL` for an instance of axios to pass relative URLs
 // to methods of that instance.
 baseURL: 'https://some-domain.com/api/',

Entity Framework: One Database, Multiple DbContexts. Is this a bad idea?

My gut told me the same thing when I came across this design.

I am working on a code base where there are three dbContexts to one database. 2 out of the 3 dbcontexts are dependent on information from 1 dbcontext because it serves up the administrative data. This design has placed constraints on how you can query your data. I ran into this problem where you cannot join across dbcontexts. Instead what you are required to do is query the two separate dbcontexts then do a join in memory or iterate through both to get the combination of the two as a result set. The problem with that is instead of querying for a specific result set you are now loading all your records into memory and then doing a join against the two result sets in memory. It can really slow things down.

I would ask the question "just because you can, should you?"

See this article for the problem I came across related to this design. The specified LINQ expression contains references to queries that are associated with different contexts

Override hosts variable of Ansible playbook from the command line

Here's a cool solution I came up to safely specify hosts via the --limit option. In this example, the play will end if the playbook was executed without any hosts specified via the --limit option.

This was tested on Ansible version 2.7.10

---
- name: Playbook will fail if hosts not specified via --limit option.
  # Hosts must be set via limit. 
  hosts: "{{ play_hosts }}"
  connection: local
  gather_facts: false
  tasks:
  - set_fact:
      inventory_hosts: []
  - set_fact:
      inventory_hosts: "{{inventory_hosts + [item]}}"
    with_items: "{{hostvars.keys()|list}}"

  - meta: end_play
    when: "(play_hosts|length) == (inventory_hosts|length)"

  - debug:
      msg: "About to execute tasks/roles for {{inventory_hostname}}"

curl: (6) Could not resolve host: application

It's treating the string application as your URL.
This means your shell isn't parsing the command correctly.
My guess is that you copied the string from somewhere, and that when you pasted it, you got some characters that looked like regular quotes, but weren't.
Try retyping the command; you'll only get valid characters from your keyboard. I bet you'll get a much different result from what looks like the same query. As this is probably a shell problem and not a 'curl' problem (you didn't build cURL yourself from source, did you?), it might be good to mention whether you're on Linux/Windows/etc.

How to set up datasource with Spring for HikariCP?

May this also can help using configuration file like java class way.

@Configuration
@PropertySource("classpath:application.properties")
public class DataSourceConfig {
    @Autowired
    JdbcConfigProperties jdbc;


    @Bean(name = "hikariDataSource")
    public DataSource hikariDataSource() {
        HikariConfig config = new HikariConfig();
        HikariDataSource dataSource;

        config.setJdbcUrl(jdbc.getUrl());
        config.setUsername(jdbc.getUser());
        config.setPassword(jdbc.getPassword());
        // optional: Property setting depends on database vendor
        config.addDataSourceProperty("cachePrepStmts", "true");
        config.addDataSourceProperty("prepStmtCacheSize", "250");
        config.addDataSourceProperty("prepStmtCacheSqlLimit", "2048");
        dataSource = new HikariDataSource(config);

        return dataSource;
    }
}

How to use it:

@Component
public class Car implements Runnable {
    private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(AptSommering.class);


    @Autowired
    @Qualifier("hikariDataSource")
    private DataSource hikariDataSource;

What does "Error: object '<myvariable>' not found" mean?

I had a similar problem with R-studio. When I tried to do my plots, this message was showing up.

Eventually I realised that the reason behind this was that my "window" for the plots was too small, and I had to make it bigger to "fit" all the plots inside!

react change class name on state change

Below is a fully functional example of what I believe you're trying to do (with a functional snippet).

Explanation

Based on your question, you seem to be modifying 1 property in state for all of your elements. That's why when you click on one, all of them are being changed.

In particular, notice that the state tracks an index of which element is active. When MyClickable is clicked, it tells the Container its index, Container updates the state, and subsequently the isActive property of the appropriate MyClickables.

Example

_x000D_
_x000D_
class Container extends React.Component {_x000D_
  state = {_x000D_
    activeIndex: null_x000D_
  }_x000D_
_x000D_
  handleClick = (index) => this.setState({ activeIndex: index })_x000D_
_x000D_
  render() {_x000D_
    return <div>_x000D_
      <MyClickable name="a" index={0} isActive={ this.state.activeIndex===0 } onClick={ this.handleClick } />_x000D_
      <MyClickable name="b" index={1} isActive={ this.state.activeIndex===1 } onClick={ this.handleClick }/>_x000D_
      <MyClickable name="c" index={2} isActive={ this.state.activeIndex===2 } onClick={ this.handleClick }/>_x000D_
    </div>_x000D_
  }_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
class MyClickable extends React.Component {_x000D_
  handleClick = () => this.props.onClick(this.props.index)_x000D_
  _x000D_
  render() {_x000D_
    return <button_x000D_
      type='button'_x000D_
      className={_x000D_
        this.props.isActive ? 'active' : 'album'_x000D_
      }_x000D_
      onClick={ this.handleClick }_x000D_
    >_x000D_
      <span>{ this.props.name }</span>_x000D_
    </button>_x000D_
  }_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
ReactDOM.render(<Container />, document.getElementById('app'))
_x000D_
button {_x000D_
  display: block;_x000D_
  margin-bottom: 1em;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
.album>span:after {_x000D_
  content: ' (an album)';_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
.active {_x000D_
  font-weight: bold;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
.active>span:after {_x000D_
  content: ' ACTIVE';_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/react/15.6.1/react.min.js"></script>_x000D_
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/react/15.6.1/react-dom.min.js"></script>_x000D_
<div id="app"></div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Update: "Loops"

In response to a comment about a "loop" version, I believe the question is about rendering an array of MyClickable elements. We won't use a loop, but map, which is typical in React + JSX. The following should give you the same result as above, but it works with an array of elements.

// New render method for `Container`
render() {
  const clickables = [
    { name: "a" },
    { name: "b" },
    { name: "c" },
  ]

  return <div>
      { clickables.map(function(clickable, i) {
          return <MyClickable key={ clickable.name }
            name={ clickable.name }
            index={ i }
            isActive={ this.state.activeIndex === i }
            onClick={ this.handleClick }
          />
        } )
      }
  </div>
}

Remove special symbols and extra spaces and replace with underscore using the replace method

Your regular expression [^a-zA-Z0-9]\s/g says match any character that is not a number or letter followed by a space.

Remove the \s and you should get what you are after if you want a _ for every special character.

var newString = str.replace(/[^A-Z0-9]/ig, "_");

That will result in hello_world___hello_universe

If you want it to be single underscores use a + to match multiple

var newString = str.replace(/[^A-Z0-9]+/ig, "_");

That will result in hello_world_hello_universe

Why should C++ programmers minimize use of 'new'?

Objects created by new must be eventually deleted lest they leak. The destructor won't be called, memory won't be freed, the whole bit. Since C++ has no garbage collection, it's a problem.

Objects created by value (i. e. on stack) automatically die when they go out of scope. The destructor call is inserted by the compiler, and the memory is auto-freed upon function return.

Smart pointers like unique_ptr, shared_ptr solve the dangling reference problem, but they require coding discipline and have other potential issues (copyability, reference loops, etc.).

Also, in heavily multithreaded scenarios, new is a point of contention between threads; there can be a performance impact for overusing new. Stack object creation is by definition thread-local, since each thread has its own stack.

The downside of value objects is that they die once the host function returns - you cannot pass a reference to those back to the caller, only by copying, returning or moving by value.

How to turn a String into a JavaScript function call?

This took me a while to figure out, as the conventional window['someFunctionName']() did not work for me at first. The names of my functions were being pulled as an AJAX response from a database. Also, for whatever reason, my functions were declared outside of the scope of the window, so in order to fix this I had to rewrite the functions I was calling from

function someFunctionName() {}

to

window.someFunctionName = function() {}

and from there I could call window['someFunctionName']() with ease. I hope this helps someone!

How to access elements of a JArray (or iterate over them)

        var twitterObject = JToken.Parse(jsonString);
        var trendsArray = twitterObject.Children<JProperty>().FirstOrDefault(x => x.Name == "trends").Value;


        foreach (var item in trendsArray.Children())
        {
            var itemProperties = item.Children<JProperty>();
            //you could do a foreach or a linq here depending on what you need to do exactly with the value
            var myElement = itemProperties.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Name == "url");
            var myElementValue = myElement.Value; ////This is a JValue type
        }
    }

So call Children on your JArray to get each JObject in JArray. Call Children on each JObject to access the objects properties.

foreach(var item in yourJArray.Children())
{
    var itemProperties = item.Children<JProperty>();
    //you could do a foreach or a linq here depending on what you need to do exactly with the value
    var myElement = itemProperties.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Name == "url");
    var myElementValue = myElement.Value; ////This is a JValue type
}

Garbage collector in Android

Generally speaking you should not call GC explicitly with System.gc(). There is even the IO lecture (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CruQY55HOk) where they explain what the GC pauses log mean and in which they also state to never call System.gc() because Dalvik knows better than you when to do so.

On the other hand as mentioned in above answers already GC process in Android (like everything else) is sometimes buggy. This means Dalvik GC algorithms are not on par with Hotspot or JRockit JVMs and might get things wrong on some occasions. One of those occasions is when allocating bitmap objects. This is a tricky one because it uses Heap and Non Heap memory and because one loose instance of bitmap object on memory constrained device is enough to give you an OutOfMemory exception. So calling it after you don't need this bitmap any-more is generally suggested by many developers and is even considered good practice by some people.

Better practice is using .recycle() on a bitmap as it is what this method is made for, as it marks native memory of the bitmap as safe to delete. Keep in mind that this is very version dependent, meaning it will generally be required on older Android versions (Pre 3.0 I think) but will not be required on later ones. Also it won't hurt much using it on newer versions ether (just don't do this in a loop or something like that). New ART runtime changed a lot here because they introduced special Heap "partition" for big objects but I think it will not hurt much to do this with ART ether.

Also one very important note about System.gc(). This method is not a command that Dalvik (or JVMs) are obligated to respond to. Consider it more like saying to Virtual machine "Could you please do garbage collection if it's not a hassle".

How to pull specific directory with git

Repository Pattern Step by Step Explanation

This is a nice example: The Repository Pattern Example in C#

Basically, repository hides the details of how exactly the data is being fetched/persisted from/to the database. Under the covers:

  • for reading, it creates the query satisfying the supplied criteria and returns the result set
  • for writing, it issues the commands necessary to make the underlying persistence engine (e.g. an SQL database) save the data

JavaScript for detecting browser language preference

First of all, excuse me for my English. I would like to share my code, because it works and it is different than the others given anwers. In this exemple,if you speak French (France, Belgium or other french language) you are redirected on the french page, otherwise on the english page, depending on the browser configuration :

_x000D_
_x000D_
<script type="text/javascript">_x000D_
        $(document).ready(function () {_x000D_
            var userLang = navigator.language || navigator.userLanguage;_x000D_
            if (userLang.startsWith("fr")) {_x000D_
                    window.location.href = '../fr/index.html';_x000D_
                }_x000D_
            else {_x000D_
                    window.location.href = '../en/index.html';_x000D_
                }_x000D_
            });_x000D_
    </script>

When to use Task.Delay, when to use Thread.Sleep?

if the current thread is killed and you use Thread.Sleep and it is executing then you might get a ThreadAbortException. With Task.Delay you can always provide a cancellation token and gracefully kill it. Thats one reason I would choose Task.Delay. see http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/21177.visual-c-thread-sleep-vs-task-delay.aspx

I also agree efficiency is not paramount in this case.

jQuery textbox change event

You can achieve it:

 $(document).ready(function(){              
     $('#textBox').keyup(function () {alert('changed');});
 });

or with change (handle copy paste with right click):

 $(document).ready(function(){              
     $('#textBox2').change(function () {alert('changed');});
 });

Here is Demo

Validating an XML against referenced XSD in C#

A simpler way, if you are using .NET 3.5, is to use XDocument and XmlSchemaSet validation.

XmlSchemaSet schemas = new XmlSchemaSet();
schemas.Add(schemaNamespace, schemaFileName);

XDocument doc = XDocument.Load(filename);
string msg = "";
doc.Validate(schemas, (o, e) => {
    msg += e.Message + Environment.NewLine;
});
Console.WriteLine(msg == "" ? "Document is valid" : "Document invalid: " + msg);

See the MSDN documentation for more assistance.

How to get JSON data from the URL (REST API) to UI using jQuery or plain JavaScript?

 jquery.ajax({
            url: `//your api url`
            type: "GET",
            dataType: "json",
            success: function(data) {
                jQuery.each(data, function(index, value) {
                        console.log(data);
                        `All you API data is here`
                    }
                }
            });     

C# Convert List<string> to Dictionary<string, string>

Use this:

var dict = list.ToDictionary(x => x);

See MSDN for more info.

As Pranay points out in the comments, this will fail if an item exists in the list multiple times.
Depending on your specific requirements, you can either use var dict = list.Distinct().ToDictionary(x => x); to get a dictionary of distinct items or you can use ToLookup instead:

var dict = list.ToLookup(x => x);

This will return an ILookup<string, string> which is essentially the same as IDictionary<string, IEnumerable<string>>, so you will have a list of distinct keys with each string instance under it.

CSS get height of screen resolution

You can get the window height quite easily in pure CSS, using the units "vh", each corresponding to 1% of the window height. On the example below, let's begin to centralize block.foo by adding a margin-top half the size of the screen.

.foo{
    margin-top: 50vh;
}

But that only works for 'window' size. With a dab of javascript, you could make it more versatile.

$(':root').css("--windowHeight", $( window ).height() );

That code will create a CSS variable named "--windowHeight" that carries the height of the window. To use it, just add the rule:

.foo{
    margin-top: calc( var(--windowHeight) / 2 );
}

And why is it more versatile than simply using "vh" units? Because you can get the height of any element. Now if you want to centralize a block.foo in any container.bar, you could:

$(':root').css("--containerHeight", $( .bar ).height() );
$(':root').css("--blockHeight", $( .foo ).height() );

.foo{
    margin-top: calc( var(--containerHeight) / 2 - var(--blockHeight) / 2);
}

And finally, for it to respond to changes on the window size, you could use (in this example, the container is 50% the window height):

$( window ).resize(function() {
    $(':root').css("--containerHeight", $( .bar ).height()*0.5 );
});

Observable Finally on Subscribe

The current "pipable" variant of this operator is called finalize() (since RxJS 6). The older and now deprecated "patch" operator was called finally() (until RxJS 5.5).

I think finalize() operator is actually correct. You say:

do that logic only when I subscribe, and after the stream has ended

which is not a problem I think. You can have a single source and use finalize() before subscribing to it if you want. This way you're not required to always use finalize():

let source = new Observable(observer => {
  observer.next(1);
  observer.error('error message');
  observer.next(3);
  observer.complete();
}).pipe(
  publish(),
);

source.pipe(
  finalize(() => console.log('Finally callback')),
).subscribe(
  value => console.log('#1 Next:', value),
  error => console.log('#1 Error:', error),
  () => console.log('#1 Complete')
);

source.subscribe(
  value => console.log('#2 Next:', value),
  error => console.log('#2 Error:', error),
  () => console.log('#2 Complete')
);

source.connect();

This prints to console:

#1 Next: 1
#2 Next: 1
#1 Error: error message
Finally callback
#2 Error: error message

Ansible: How to delete files and folders inside a directory?

Remove the directory (basically a copy of https://stackoverflow.com/a/38201611/1695680), Ansible does this operation with rmtree under the hood.

- name: remove files and directories
  file:
    state: "{{ item }}"
    path: "/srv/deleteme/"
    owner: 1000  # set your owner, group, and mode accordingly
    group: 1000
    mode: '0777'
  with_items:
    - absent
    - directory

If you don't have the luxury of removing the whole directory and recreating it, you can scan it for files, (and directories), and delete them one by one. Which will take a while. You probably want to make sure you have [ssh_connection]\npipelining = True in your ansible.cfg on.

- block:
  - name: 'collect files'
    find:
      paths: "/srv/deleteme/"
      hidden: True
      recurse: True
      # file_type: any  # Added in ansible 2.3
    register: collected_files

  - name: 'collect directories'
    find:
      paths: "/srv/deleteme/"
      hidden: True
      recurse: True
      file_type: directory
    register: collected_directories

  - name: remove collected files and directories
    file:
      path: "{{ item.path }}"
      state: absent
    with_items: >
      {{
        collected_files.files
        + collected_directories.files
      }}

How to search for a string in text files?

As Jeffrey Said, you are not checking the value of check(). In addition, your check() function is not returning anything. Note the difference:

def check():
    with open('example.txt') as f:
        datafile = f.readlines()
    found = False  # This isn't really necessary
    for line in datafile:
        if blabla in line:
            # found = True # Not necessary
            return True
    return False  # Because you finished the search without finding

Then you can test the output of check():

if check():
    print('True')
else:
    print('False')

Why do access tokens expire?

A couple of scenarios might help illustrate the purpose of access and refresh tokens and the engineering trade-offs in designing an oauth2 (or any other auth) system:

Web app scenario

In the web app scenario you have a couple of options:

  1. if you have your own session management, store both the access_token and refresh_token against your session id in session state on your session state service. When a page is requested by the user that requires you to access the resource use the access_token and if the access_token has expired use the refresh_token to get the new one.

Let's imagine that someone manages to hijack your session. The only thing that is possible is to request your pages.

  1. if you don't have session management, put the access_token in a cookie and use that as a session. Then, whenever the user requests pages from your web server send up the access_token. Your app server could refresh the access_token if need be.

Comparing 1 and 2:

In 1, access_token and refresh_token only travel over the wire on the way between the authorzation server (google in your case) and your app server. This would be done on a secure channel. A hacker could hijack the session but they would only be able to interact with your web app. In 2, the hacker could take the access_token away and form their own requests to the resources that the user has granted access to. Even if the hacker gets a hold of the access_token they will only have a short window in which they can access the resources.

Either way the refresh_token and clientid/secret are only known to the server making it impossible from the web browser to obtain long term access.

Let's imagine you are implementing oauth2 and set a long timeout on the access token:

In 1) There's not much difference here between a short and long access token since it's hidden in the app server. In 2) someone could get the access_token in the browser and then use it to directly access the user's resources for a long time.

Mobile scenario

On the mobile, there are a couple of scenarios that I know of:

  1. Store clientid/secret on the device and have the device orchestrate obtaining access to the user's resources.

  2. Use a backend app server to hold the clientid/secret and have it do the orchestration. Use the access_token as a kind of session key and pass it between the client and the app server.

Comparing 1 and 2

In 1) Once you have clientid/secret on the device they aren't secret any more. Anyone can decompile and then start acting as though they are you, with the permission of the user of course. The access_token and refresh_token are also in memory and could be accessed on a compromised device which means someone could act as your app without the user giving their credentials. In this scenario the length of the access_token makes no difference to the hackability since refresh_token is in the same place as access_token. In 2) the clientid/secret nor the refresh token are compromised. Here the length of the access_token expiry determines how long a hacker could access the users resources, should they get hold of it.

Expiry lengths

Here it depends upon what you're securing with your auth system as to how long your access_token expiry should be. If it's something particularly valuable to the user it should be short. Something less valuable, it can be longer.

Some people like google don't expire the refresh_token. Some like stackflow do. The decision on the expiry is a trade-off between user ease and security. The length of the refresh token is related to the user return length, i.e. set the refresh to how often the user returns to your app. If the refresh token doesn't expire the only way they are revoked is with an explicit revoke. Normally, a log on wouldn't revoke.

Hope that rather length post is useful.

How to remove \n from a list element?

To handle many newline delimiters, including character combinations like \r\n, use splitlines. Combine join and splitlines to remove/replace all newlines from a string s:

''.join(s.splitlines())

To remove exactly one trailing newline, pass True as the keepends argument to retain the delimiters, removing only the delimiters on the last line:

def chomp(s):
    if len(s):
        lines = s.splitlines(True)
        last = lines.pop()
        return ''.join(lines + last.splitlines())
    else:
        return ''

How can I make an svg scale with its parent container?

After like 48 hours of research, I ended up doing this to get proportional scaling:

NOTE: This sample is written with React. If you aren't using that, change the camel case stuff back to hyphens (ie: change backgroundColor to background-color and change the style Object back to a String).

<div
  style={{
    backgroundColor: 'lightpink',
    resize: 'horizontal',
    overflow: 'hidden',
    width: '1000px',
    height: 'auto',
  }}
>
  <svg
    width="100%"
    viewBox="113 128 972 600"
    preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet"
  >
    <g> ... </g>
  </svg>
</div>

Here's what is happening in the above sample code:

VIEWBOX

MDN: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Attribute/viewBox

min-x, min-y, width and height

ie: viewbox="0 0 1000 1000"

Viewbox is an important attribute because it basically tells the SVG what size to draw and where. If you used CSS to make the SVG 1000x1000 px but your viewbox was 2000x2000, you would see the top-left quarter of your SVG.

The first two numbers, min-x and min-y, determine if the SVG should be offset inside the viewbox.

My SVG needs to shift up/down or left/right

Examine this: viewbox="50 50 450 450"

The first two numbers will shift your SVG left 50px and up 50px, and the second two numbers are the viewbox size: 450x450 px. If your SVG is 500x500 but it has some extra padding on it, you can manipulate those numbers to move it around inside the "viewbox".

Your goal at this point is to change one of those numbers and see what happens.

You can also completely omit the viewbox, but then your milage will vary depending on every other setting you have at the time. In my experience, you will encounter issues with preserving aspect ratio because the viewbox helps define the aspect ratio.

PRESERVE ASPECT RATIO

MDN: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Attribute/preserveAspectRatio

Based on my research, there are lots of different aspect ratio settings, but the default one is called xMidYMid meet. I put it on mine to explicitly remind myself. xMidYMid meet makes it scale proportionately based on the midpoint X and Y. This means it stays centered in the viewbox.

WIDTH

MDN: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Attribute/width

Look at my example code above. Notice how I set only width, no height. I set it to 100% so it fills the container it is in. This is what is probably contributing the most to answering this Stack Overflow question.

You can change it to whatever pixel value you want, but I'd recommend using 100% like I did to blow it up to max size and then control it with CSS via the parent container. I recommend this because you will get "proper" control. You can use media queries and you can control the size without crazy JavaScript.

SCALING WITH CSS

Look at my example code above again. Notice how I have these properties:

resize: 'horizontal', // you can safely omit this
overflow: 'hidden',   // if you use resize, use this to fix weird scrollbar appearance
width: '1000px',
height: 'auto',

This is additional, but it shows you how to allow the user to resize the SVG while maintaining the proper aspect ratio. Because the SVG maintains its own aspect ratio, you only need to make width resizable on the parent container, and it will resize as desired.

We leave height alone and/or set it to auto, and we control the resizing with width. I picked width because it is often more meaningful due to responsive designs.

Here is an image of these settings being used:

enter image description here

If you read every solution in this question and are still confused or don't quite see what you need, check out this link here. I found it very helpful:

https://css-tricks.com/scale-svg/

It's a massive article, but it breaks down pretty much every possible way to manipulate an SVG, with or without CSS. I recommend reading it while casually drinking a coffee or your choice of select liquids.

Select specific row from mysql table

You can use LIMIT 2,1 instead of WHERE row_number() = 3.

As the documentation explains, the first argument specifies the offset of the first row to return, and the second specifies the maximum number of rows to return.

Keep in mind that it's an 0-based index. So, if you want the line number n, the first argument should be n-1. The second argument will always be 1, because you just want one row. For example, if you want the line number 56 of a table customer:

SELECT * FROM customer LIMIT 55,1

Why does overflow:hidden not work in a <td>?

Best solution is to put a div into table cell with zero width. Tbody table cells will inherit their widths from widths defined the thead. Position:relative and negative margin should do the trick!

Here is a screenshot: https://flic.kr/p/nvRs4j

        border-collapse:collapse;
    }
    .cropped-table-cells tr td {
        border:1px solid lightgray;
        padding:3px 5px 3px 5px;
    }

        position:relative; /* must be relative */
        width:100%; /* fit to table cell width */

How do I load an org.w3c.dom.Document from XML in a string?

Just had a similar problem, except i needed a NodeList and not a Document, here's what I came up with. It's mostly the same solution as before, augmented to get the root element down as a NodeList and using erickson's suggestion of using an InputSource instead for character encoding issues.

private String DOC_ROOT="root";
String xml=getXmlString();
Document xmlDoc=loadXMLFrom(xml);
Element template=xmlDoc.getDocumentElement();
NodeList nodes=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName(DOC_ROOT);

public static Document loadXMLFrom(String xml) throws Exception {
        InputSource is= new InputSource(new StringReader(xml));
        DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
        factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
        DocumentBuilder builder = null;
        builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
        Document doc = builder.parse(is);
        return doc;
    }

How to resolve cURL Error (7): couldn't connect to host?

“CURL ERROR 7 Failed to connect to Permission denied” error is caused, when for any reason curl request is blocked by some firewall or similar thing.

you will face this issue when ever the curl request is not with standard ports.

for example if you do curl to some URL which is on port 1234, you will face this issue where as URL with port 80 will give you results easily.

Most commonly this error has been seen on CentOS and any other OS with ‘SElinux’.

you need to either disable or change ’SElinux’ to permissive

have a look on this one

Hope this helps

How do you make websites with Java?

While a lot of others should be mentioned, Apache Wicket should be preferred.

Wicket doesn't just reduce lots of boilerplate code, it actually removes it entirely and you can work with excellent separation of business code and markup without mixing the two and a wide variety of other things you can read about from the website.

jQuery get text as number

Always use parseInt with a radix (base) as the second parameter, or you will get unexpected results:

var number = parseInt($(this).find('.number').text(), 10);

A popular variation however is to use + as a unitary operator. This will always convert with base 10 and never throw an error, just return zero NaN which can be tested with the function isNaN() if it's an invalid number:

var number = +($(this).find('.number').text());

If condition inside of map() React

You're mixing if statement with a ternary expression, that's why you're having a syntax error. It might be easier for you to understand what's going on if you extract mapping function outside of your render method:

renderItem = (id) => {
    // just standard if statement
    if (this.props.schema.collectionName.length < 0) {
        return (
            <Expandable>
                <ObjectDisplay
                    key={id}
                    parentDocumentId={id}
                    schema={schema[this.props.schema.collectionName]}
                    value={this.props.collection.documents[id]}
                />
            </Expandable>
        );
    }
    return (
        <h1>hejsan</h1>
    );
}

Then just call it when mapping:

render() {
    return (
        <div>
            <div className="box">
                { 
                    this.props.collection.ids
                        .filter(
                            id =>
                            // note: this is only passed when in top level of document
                            this.props.collection.documents[id][
                                this.props.schema.foreignKey
                            ] === this.props.parentDocumentId
                        )
                        .map(this.renderItem)
                }
            </div>
        </div>
    )
}

Of course, you could have used the ternary expression as well, it's a matter of preference. What you use, however, affects the readability, so make sure to check different ways and tips to properly do conditional rendering in react and react native.

PHP to search within txt file and echo the whole line

Do it like this. This approach lets you search a file of any size (big size won't crash the script) and will return ALL lines that match the string you want.

<?php
$searchthis = "mystring";
$matches = array();

$handle = @fopen("path/to/inputfile.txt", "r");
if ($handle)
{
    while (!feof($handle))
    {
        $buffer = fgets($handle);
        if(strpos($buffer, $searchthis) !== FALSE)
            $matches[] = $buffer;
    }
    fclose($handle);
}

//show results:
print_r($matches);
?>

Note the way strpos is used with !== operator.

Conflict with dependency 'com.android.support:support-annotations'. Resolved versions for app (23.1.0) and test app (23.0.1) differ

Source: CodePath - UI Testing With Espresso

  1. Finally, we need to pull in the Espresso dependencies and set the test runner in our app build.gradle:
// build.gradle
...
android {
    ...
    defaultConfig {
        ...
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.support.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
    }
}

dependencies {
    ...
    androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:2.2.2') {
        // Necessary if your app targets Marshmallow (since Espresso
        // hasn't moved to Marshmallow yet)
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
    }
    androidTestCompile('com.android.support.test:runner:0.5') {
        // Necessary if your app targets Marshmallow (since the test runner
        // hasn't moved to Marshmallow yet)
        exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'support-annotations'
    }
}

I've added that to my gradle file and the warning disappeared.

Also, if you get any other dependency listed as conflicting, such as support-annotations, try excluding it too from the androidTestCompile dependencies.

Need a row count after SELECT statement: what's the optimal SQL approach?

If you're using SQL Server, after your query you can select the @@RowCount function (or if your result set might have more than 2 billion rows use the RowCount_Big() function). This will return the number of rows selected by the previous statement or number of rows affected by an insert/update/delete statement.

SELECT my_table.my_col
  FROM my_table
 WHERE my_table.foo = 'bar'

SELECT @@Rowcount

Or if you want to row count included in the result sent similar to Approach #2, you can use the the OVER clause.

SELECT my_table.my_col,
    count(*) OVER(PARTITION BY my_table.foo) AS 'Count'
  FROM my_table
 WHERE my_table.foo = 'bar'

Using the OVER clause will have much better performance than using a subquery to get the row count. Using the @@RowCount will have the best performance because the there won't be any query cost for the select @@RowCount statement

Update in response to comment: The example I gave would give the # of rows in partition - defined in this case by "PARTITION BY my_table.foo". The value of the column in each row is the # of rows with the same value of my_table.foo. Since your example query had the clause "WHERE my_table.foo = 'bar'", all rows in the resultset will have the same value of my_table.foo and therefore the value in the column will be the same for all rows and equal (in this case) this the # of rows in the query.

Here is a better/simpler example of how to include a column in each row that is the total # of rows in the resultset. Simply remove the optional Partition By clause.

SELECT my_table.my_col, count(*) OVER() AS 'Count'
  FROM my_table
 WHERE my_table.foo = 'bar'

How do I install a module globally using npm?

I like using a package.json file in the root of your app folder.

Here is one I use

nvm use v0.6.4

http://pastie.org/3232212

npm install

Cannot send a content-body with this verb-type

Because you didn't specify the Header.

I've added an extended example:

var request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(strServer + strURL.Split('&')[1].ToString());

Header(ref request, p_Method);

And the method Header:

private void Header(ref HttpWebRequest p_request, string p_Method)
{
    p_request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
    p_request.Method = p_Method;
    p_request.UserAgent = "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows CE)";
    p_request.Host = strServer.Split('/')[2].ToString();
    p_request.Accept = "*/*";
    if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(strURLReferer))
    {
        p_request.Referer = strServer;
    }
    else
    {
        p_request.Referer = strURLReferer;
    }
    p_request.Headers.Add("Accept-Language", "en-us\r\n");
    p_request.Headers.Add("UA-CPU", "x86 \r\n");
    p_request.Headers.Add("Cache-Control", "no-cache\r\n");
    p_request.KeepAlive = true;
}

How to dynamically create columns in datatable and assign values to it?

What have you tried, what was the problem?

Creating DataColumns and add values to a DataTable is straight forward:

Dim dt = New DataTable()
Dim dcID = New DataColumn("ID", GetType(Int32))
Dim dcName = New DataColumn("Name", GetType(String))
dt.Columns.Add(dcID)
dt.Columns.Add(dcName)
For i = 1 To 1000
    dt.Rows.Add(i, "Row #" & i)
Next

Edit:

If you want to read a xml file and load a DataTable from it, you can use DataTable.ReadXml.

Cannot find firefox binary in PATH. Make sure firefox is installed

I've just had this issue without changing PATH.

My PC is Win7, 64-bit system, If you are also using 64-bit system, you may want to try:

  1. uninstall your current Firefox.
  2. install new Firefox under "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\" path.

It must be under "Program Files (x86)" NOT "Program Files"

Hope it can help.

How to permanently add a private key with ssh-add on Ubuntu?

Adding the following lines in "~/.bashrc" solved the issue for me. I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 desktop.

eval `gnome-keyring-daemon --start`

export SSH_AUTH_SOCK="$(ls /run/user/$(id -u $USERNAME)/keyring*/ssh|head -1)"
export SSH_AGENT_PID="$(pgrep gnome-keyring)"

How do I parallelize a simple Python loop?

Let's say we have an async function

async def work_async(self, student_name: str, code: str, loop):
"""
Some async function
"""
    # Do some async procesing    

That needs to be run on a large array. Some attributes are being passed to the program and some are used from property of dictionary element in the array.

async def process_students(self, student_name: str, loop):
    market = sys.argv[2]
    subjects = [...] #Some large array
    batchsize = 5
    for i in range(0, len(subjects), batchsize):
        batch = subjects[i:i+batchsize]
        await asyncio.gather(*(self.work_async(student_name,
                                           sub['Code'],
                                           loop)
                       for sub in batch))

How to Call a JS function using OnClick event

Using the onclick attribute or applying a function to your JS onclick properties will erase your onclick initialization in <head>.

What you need to do is add click events on your button. To do that you’ll need the addEventListener or attachEvent (IE) method.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <script>
        function addEvent(obj, event, func) {
            if (obj.addEventListener) {
                obj.addEventListener(event, func, false);
                return true;
            } else if (obj.attachEvent) {
                obj.attachEvent('on' + event, func);
            } else {
                var f = obj['on' + event];
                obj['on' + event] = typeof f === 'function' ? function() {
                    f();
                    func();
                } : func
            }
        }

        function f1()
        {
            alert("f1 called");
            //form validation that recalls the page showing with supplied inputs.    
        }
    </script>
</head>
<body>
    <form name="form1" id="form1" method="post">
        State: <select id="state ID">
        <option></option>
        <option value="ap">ap</option>
        <option value="bp">bp</option>
        </select>
    </form>

    <table><tr><td id="Save" onclick="f1()">click</td></tr></table>

    <script>
        addEvent(document.getElementById('Save'), 'click', function() {
            alert('hello');
        });
    </script>
</body>
</html>

How to delete SQLite database from Android programmatically

Try:

this.deleteDatabase(path); 

or

context.deleteDatabase(path);

Why does multiplication repeats the number several times?

Only when you multiply integer with a string, you will get repetitive string..

You can use int() factory method to create integer out of string form of integer..

>>> int('1') * int('9')
9
>>> 
>>> '1' * 9
'111111111'
>>>
>>> 1 * 9
9
>>> 
>>> 1 * '9'
'9'
  • If both operand is int, you will get multiplication of them as int.
  • If first operand is string, and second is int.. Your string will be repeated that many times, as the value in your integer 2nd operand.
  • If first operand is integer, and second is string, then you will get multiplication of both numbers in string form..

How to set the allowed url length for a nginx request (error code: 414, uri too large)

From: http://nginx.org/r/large_client_header_buffers

Syntax: large_client_header_buffers number size ;
Default: large_client_header_buffers 4 8k;
Context: http, server

Sets the maximum number and size of buffers used for reading large client request header. A request line cannot exceed the size of one buffer, or the 414 (Request-URI Too Large) error is returned to the client. A request header field cannot exceed the size of one buffer as well, or the 400 (Bad Request) error is returned to the client. Buffers are allocated only on demand. By default, the buffer size is equal to 8K bytes. If after the end of request processing a connection is transitioned into the keep-alive state, these buffers are released.

so you need to change the size parameter at the end of that line to something bigger for your needs.

Using PropertyInfo to find out the property type

I just stumbled upon this great post. If you are just checking whether the data is of string type then maybe we can skip the loop and use this struct (in my humble opinion)

public static bool IsStringType(object data)
    {
        return (data.GetType().GetProperties().Where(x => x.PropertyType == typeof(string)).FirstOrDefault() != null);
    }

CSS: how to get scrollbars for div inside container of fixed height

Git submodule update

To address the --rebase vs. --merge option:

Let's say you have super repository A and submodule B and want to do some work in submodule B. You've done your homework and know that after calling

git submodule update

you are in a HEAD-less state, so any commits you do at this point are hard to get back to. So, you've started work on a new branch in submodule B

cd B
git checkout -b bestIdeaForBEver
<do work>

Meanwhile, someone else in project A has decided that the latest and greatest version of B is really what A deserves. You, out of habit, merge the most recent changes down and update your submodules.

<in A>
git merge develop
git submodule update

Oh noes! You're back in a headless state again, probably because B is now pointing to the SHA associated with B's new tip, or some other commit. If only you had:

git merge develop
git submodule update --rebase

Fast-forwarded bestIdeaForBEver to b798edfdsf1191f8b140ea325685c4da19a9d437.
Submodule path 'B': rebased into 'b798ecsdf71191f8b140ea325685c4da19a9d437'

Now that best idea ever for B has been rebased onto the new commit, and more importantly, you are still on your development branch for B, not in a headless state!

(The --merge will merge changes from beforeUpdateSHA to afterUpdateSHA into your working branch, as opposed to rebasing your changes onto afterUpdateSHA.)

Hibernate error: ids for this class must be manually assigned before calling save():

For hibernate it is important to know that your object WILL have an id, when you want to persist/save it. Thus, make sure that

    private String U_id;

will have a value, by the time you are going to persist your object. You can do that with the @GeneratedValue annotation or by assigning a value manually.

In the case you need or want to assign your id's manually (and that's what the above error is actually about), I would prefer passing the values for the fields to your constructor, at least for U_id, e.g.

  public Role (String U_id) { ... }

This ensures that your object has an id, by the time you have instantiated it. I don't know what your use case is and how your application behaves in concurrency, however, in some cases this is not recommended. You need to ensure that your id is unique.

Further note: Hibernate will still require a default constructor, as stated in the hibernate documentation. In order to prevent you (and maybe other programmers if you're designing an api) of instantiations of Role using the default constructor, just declare it as private.

Unsafe JavaScript attempt to access frame with URL

Crossframe-Scripting is not possible when the two frames have different domains -> Security.

See this: http://javascript.about.com/od/reference/a/frame3.htm

Now to answer your question: there is no solution or work around, you simply should check your website-design why there must be two frames from different domains that changes the url of the other one.

Insert json file into mongodb

the following two ways work well:

C:\>mongodb\bin\mongoimport --jsonArray -d test -c docs --file example2.json
C:\>mongodb\bin\mongoimport --jsonArray -d test -c docs < example2.json

if the collections are under a specific user, you can use -u -p --authenticationDatabase

How to subtract date/time in JavaScript?

Unless you are subtracting dates on same browser client and don't care about edge cases like day light saving time changes, you are probably better off using moment.js which offers powerful localized APIs. For example, this is what I have in my utils.js:

subtractDates: function(date1, date2) {
    return moment.subtract(date1, date2).milliseconds();
},
millisecondsSince: function(dateSince) {
    return moment().subtract(dateSince).milliseconds();
},

python how to pad numpy array with zeros

Tensorflow also implemented functions for resizing/padding images tf.image.pad tf.pad.

padded_image = tf.image.pad_to_bounding_box(image, top_padding, left_padding, target_height, target_width)

padded_image = tf.pad(image, paddings, "CONSTANT")

These functions work just like other input-pipeline features of tensorflow and will work much better for machine learning applications.

JavaScript equivalent of PHP's in_array()

function in_array(what, where) {
    var a=false;
    for (var i=0; i<where.length; i++) {
        if(what == where[i]) {
            a=true;
            break;
        }
    }
    return a;
}

Java reverse an int value without using array

I used String and I converted initially the int to String.Then I used the reverse method. I found the reverse of the number in String and then I converted the string back to int. Here is the program.

import java.util.*;

public class Panathinaikos {
    public static void my_try()
    {
        Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.println("Enter the number you want to be reversed");
        int number = input.nextInt();
        String sReverse = Integer.toString(number);
        String reverse = new StringBuffer(sReverse).reverse().toString();
        int Reversed = Integer.parseInt(reverse);
        System.out.print("The number " + number+ " reversed is " + Reversed);
    }
}

VueJs get url query

You can also get them with pure javascript.

For example:

new URL(location.href).searchParams.get('page')

For this url: websitename.com/user/?page=1, it would return a value of 1

How do I change the default index page in Apache?

You can also set DirectoryIndex in apache's httpd.conf file.

CentOS keeps this file in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf Debian: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

Open the file in your text editor and find the line starting with DirectoryIndex

To load landing.html as a default (but index.html if that's not found) change this line to read:

DirectoryIndex  landing.html index.html

#1292 - Incorrect date value: '0000-00-00'

After reviewing MySQL 5.7 changes, MySql stopped supporting zero values in date / datetime.

It's incorrect to use zeros in date or in datetime, just put null instead of zeros.

Popup window in PHP?

You'll have to use JS to open the popup, though you can put it on the page conditionally with PHP, you're right that you'll have to use a JavaScript function.

Weird PHP error: 'Can't use function return value in write context'

Another scenario where this error is trigered due syntax error:

ucwords($variable) = $string;

PHP FPM - check if running

For php7.0-fpm I call:

service php7.0-fpm status

php7.0-fpm start/running, process 25993

Now watch for the good part. The process name is actually php-fpm7.0

echo `/bin/pidof php-fpm7.0`

26334 26297 26286 26285 26282

What is the difference between class and instance methods?

Class methods can't change or know the value of any instance variable. That should be the criteria for knowing if an instance method can be a class method.

AngularJS access parent scope from child controller

Some times you may need to update parent properties directly within child scope. e.g. need to save a date and time of parent control after changes by a child controller. e.g Code in JSFiddle

HTML

<div ng-app>
<div ng-controller="Parent">
    event.date = {{event.date}} <br/>
    event.time = {{event.time}} <br/>
    <div ng-controller="Child">
        event.date = {{event.date}}<br/>
        event.time = {{event.time}}<br/>
        <br>
        event.date: <input ng-model='event.date'><br>
        event.time: <input ng-model='event.time'><br>
    </div>
</div>

JS

    function Parent($scope) {
       $scope.event = {
        date: '2014/01/1',
        time: '10:01 AM'
       }
    }

    function Child($scope) {

    }

SQL Server copy all rows from one table into another i.e duplicate table

Abstract methods in Python

Something along these lines, using ABC

import abc

class Shape(object):
    __metaclass__ = abc.ABCMeta

    @abc.abstractmethod
    def method_to_implement(self, input):
        """Method documentation"""
        return

Also read this good tutorial: http://www.doughellmann.com/PyMOTW/abc/

You can also check out zope.interface which was used prior to introduction of ABC in python.

read word by word from file in C++

As others have said, you are likely reading past the end of the file as you're only checking for x != ' '. Instead you also have to check for EOF in the inner loop (but in this case don't use a char, but a sufficiently large type):

while ( ! file.eof() )
{
    std::ifstream::int_type x = file.get();

    while ( x != ' ' && x != std::ifstream::traits_type::eof() )
    {
        word += static_cast<char>(x);
        x = file.get();
    }
    std::cout << word << '\n';
    word.clear();
}

But then again, you can just employ the stream's streaming operators, which already separate at whitespace (and better account for multiple spaces and other kinds of whitepsace):

void readFile(  )
{
    std::ifstream file("program.txt");
    for(std::string word; file >> word; )
        std::cout << word << '\n';
}

And even further, you can employ a standard algorithm to get rid of the manual loop altogether:

How should the ViewModel close the form?

From my perspective the question is pretty good as the same approach would be used not only for the "Login" window, but for any kind of window. I've reviewed a lot of suggestions and none are OK for me. Please review my suggestion that was taken from the MVVM design pattern article.

Each ViewModel class should inherit from WorkspaceViewModel that has the RequestClose event and CloseCommand property of the ICommand type. The default implementation of the CloseCommand property will raise the RequestClose event.

In order to get the window closed, the OnLoaded method of your window should be overridden:

void CustomerWindow_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    CustomerViewModel customer = CustomerViewModel.GetYourCustomer();
    DataContext = customer;
    customer.RequestClose += () => { Close(); };
}

or OnStartup method of you app:

    protected override void OnStartup(StartupEventArgs e)
    {
        base.OnStartup(e);

        MainWindow window = new MainWindow();
        var viewModel = new MainWindowViewModel();
        viewModel.RequestClose += window.Close;
        window.DataContext = viewModel;

        window.Show();
    }

I guess that RequestClose event and CloseCommand property implementation in the WorkspaceViewModel are pretty clear, but I will show them to be consistent:

public abstract class WorkspaceViewModel : ViewModelBase
// There's nothing interesting in ViewModelBase as it only implements the INotifyPropertyChanged interface
{
    RelayCommand _closeCommand;
    public ICommand CloseCommand
    {
        get
        {
            if (_closeCommand == null)
            {
                _closeCommand = new RelayCommand(
                   param => Close(),
                   param => CanClose()
                   );
            }
            return _closeCommand;
        }
    }

    public event Action RequestClose;

    public virtual void Close()
    {
        if ( RequestClose != null )
        {
            RequestClose();
        }
    }

    public virtual bool CanClose()
    {
        return true;
    }
}

And the source code of the RelayCommand:

public class RelayCommand : ICommand
{
    #region Constructors

    public RelayCommand(Action<object> execute, Predicate<object> canExecute)
    {
        if (execute == null)
            throw new ArgumentNullException("execute");

        _execute = execute;
        _canExecute = canExecute;
    }
    #endregion // Constructors

    #region ICommand Members

    [DebuggerStepThrough]
    public bool CanExecute(object parameter)
    {
        return _canExecute == null ? true : _canExecute(parameter);
    }

    public event EventHandler CanExecuteChanged
    {
        add { CommandManager.RequerySuggested += value; }
        remove { CommandManager.RequerySuggested -= value; }
    }

    public void Execute(object parameter)
    {
        _execute(parameter);
    }

    #endregion // ICommand Members

    #region Fields

    readonly Action<object> _execute;
    readonly Predicate<object> _canExecute;

    #endregion // Fields
}

P.S. Don't treat me badly for those sources! If I had them yesterday that would have saved me a few hours...

P.P.S. Any comments or suggestions are welcome.

How to set a radio button in Android

Just to clarify this: if we have a RadioGroup with several RadioButtons and need to activate one by index, implies that:

radioGroup.check(R.id.radioButtonId)

and

radioGroup.getChildAt(index)`

We can to do:

radioGroup.check(radioGroup.getChildAt(index).getId());

What exactly is std::atomic?

Each instantiation and full specialization of std::atomic<> represents a type that different threads can simultaneously operate on (their instances), without raising undefined behavior:

Objects of atomic types are the only C++ objects that are free from data races; that is, if one thread writes to an atomic object while another thread reads from it, the behavior is well-defined.

In addition, accesses to atomic objects may establish inter-thread synchronization and order non-atomic memory accesses as specified by std::memory_order.

std::atomic<> wraps operations that, in pre-C++ 11 times, had to be performed using (for example) interlocked functions with MSVC or atomic bultins in case of GCC.

Also, std::atomic<> gives you more control by allowing various memory orders that specify synchronization and ordering constraints. If you want to read more about C++ 11 atomics and memory model, these links may be useful:

Note that, for typical use cases, you would probably use overloaded arithmetic operators or another set of them:

std::atomic<long> value(0);
value++; //This is an atomic op
value += 5; //And so is this

Because operator syntax does not allow you to specify the memory order, these operations will be performed with std::memory_order_seq_cst, as this is the default order for all atomic operations in C++ 11. It guarantees sequential consistency (total global ordering) between all atomic operations.

In some cases, however, this may not be required (and nothing comes for free), so you may want to use more explicit form:

std::atomic<long> value {0};
value.fetch_add(1, std::memory_order_relaxed); // Atomic, but there are no synchronization or ordering constraints
value.fetch_add(5, std::memory_order_release); // Atomic, performs 'release' operation

Now, your example:

a = a + 12;

will not evaluate to a single atomic op: it will result in a.load() (which is atomic itself), then addition between this value and 12 and a.store() (also atomic) of final result. As I noted earlier, std::memory_order_seq_cst will be used here.

However, if you write a += 12, it will be an atomic operation (as I noted before) and is roughly equivalent to a.fetch_add(12, std::memory_order_seq_cst).

As for your comment:

A regular int has atomic loads and stores. Whats the point of wrapping it with atomic<>?

Your statement is only true for architectures that provide such guarantee of atomicity for stores and/or loads. There are architectures that do not do this. Also, it is usually required that operations must be performed on word-/dword-aligned address to be atomic std::atomic<> is something that is guaranteed to be atomic on every platform, without additional requirements. Moreover, it allows you to write code like this:

void* sharedData = nullptr;
std::atomic<int> ready_flag = 0;

// Thread 1
void produce()
{
    sharedData = generateData();
    ready_flag.store(1, std::memory_order_release);
}

// Thread 2
void consume()
{
    while (ready_flag.load(std::memory_order_acquire) == 0)
    {
        std::this_thread::yield();
    }

    assert(sharedData != nullptr); // will never trigger
    processData(sharedData);
}

Note that assertion condition will always be true (and thus, will never trigger), so you can always be sure that data is ready after while loop exits. That is because:

  • store() to the flag is performed after sharedData is set (we assume that generateData() always returns something useful, in particular, never returns NULL) and uses std::memory_order_release order:

memory_order_release

A store operation with this memory order performs the release operation: no reads or writes in the current thread can be reordered after this store. All writes in the current thread are visible in other threads that acquire the same atomic variable

  • sharedData is used after while loop exits, and thus after load() from flag will return a non-zero value. load() uses std::memory_order_acquire order:

std::memory_order_acquire

A load operation with this memory order performs the acquire operation on the affected memory location: no reads or writes in the current thread can be reordered before this load. All writes in other threads that release the same atomic variable are visible in the current thread.

This gives you precise control over the synchronization and allows you to explicitly specify how your code may/may not/will/will not behave. This would not be possible if only guarantee was the atomicity itself. Especially when it comes to very interesting sync models like the release-consume ordering.

inserting characters at the start and end of a string

Let's say we have a string called yourstring:

for x in range(0, [howmanytimes you want it at the beginning]):
    yourstring = "L" + yourstring
for x in range(0, [howmanytimes you want it at the end]):
    yourstring += "L"

Executing an EXE file using a PowerShell script

  1. clone $args
  2. push your args in new array
  3. & $path $args

Demo:

$exePath = $env:NGINX_HOME + '/nginx.exe'
$myArgs = $args.Clone()

$myArgs += '-p'
$myArgs += $env:NGINX_HOME

& $exepath $myArgs

Find an element in DOM based on an attribute value

We can use attribute selector in DOM by using document.querySelector() and document.querySelectorAll() methods.

for yours:

document.querySelector("[myAttribute='aValue']");

and by using querySelectorAll():

document.querySelectorAll("[myAttribute='aValue']");

In querySelector() and querySelectorAll() methods we can select objects as we select in "CSS".

More about "CSS" attribute selectors in https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Attribute_selectors

How do I clone a github project to run locally?

I use @Thiho answer but i get this error:

'git' is not recognized as an internal or external command

For solving that i use this steps:

I add the following paths to PATH:

  • C:\Program Files\Git\bin\

  • C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\

In windows 7:

  1. Right-click "Computer" on the Desktop or Start Menu.
  2. Select "Properties".
  3. On the very far left, click the "Advanced system settings" link.
  4. Click the "Environment Variables" button at the bottom.
  5. Double-click the "Path" entry under "System variables".
  6. At the end of "Variable value", insert a ; if there is not already one, and then C:\Program Files\Git\bin\;C:\Program Files\Git\cmd. Do not put a space between ; and the entry.

Finally close and re-open your console.

"CAUTION: provisional headers are shown" in Chrome debugger

I got this error when I tried to print a page in a popup. The print dialog was show and it still waiting my acceptance or cancellation of the printing in the popup while in the master page also was waiting in the background showing the message CAUTION provisional headers are shown when I tried to click another link.

In my case the solution was to remove the window.print (); script that it was executing on the <body> of the popup window to prevent the print dialog.

How to create streams from string in Node.Js?

Another solution is passing the read function to the constructor of Readable (cf doc stream readeable options)

var s = new Readable({read(size) {
    this.push("your string here")
    this.push(null)
  }});

you can after use s.pipe for exemple

indexOf method in an object array?

You can use a native and convenient function Array.prototype.findIndex() basically:

The findIndex() method returns an index in the array, if an element in the array satisfies the provided testing function. Otherwise -1 is returned.

Just a note it is not supported on Internet Explorer, Opera and Safari, but you can use a Polyfill provided in the link below.

More information:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/findIndex

Hide separator line on one UITableViewCell

in viewDidLoad, add this line:

self.tableView.separatorColor = [UIColor clearColor];

and in cellForRowAtIndexPath:

for iOS lower versions

if(indexPath.row != self.newCarArray.count-1){
    UIImageView *line = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 44, 320, 2)];
    line.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
    [cell addSubview:line];
}

for iOS 7 upper versions (including iOS 8)

if (indexPath.row == self.newCarArray.count-1) {
    cell.separatorInset = UIEdgeInsetsMake(0.f, cell.bounds.size.width, 0.f, 0.f);
}

Output a NULL cell value in Excel

As you've indicated, you can't output NULL in an excel formula. I think this has to do with the fact that the formula itself causes the cell to not be able to be NULL. "" is the next best thing, but sometimes it's useful to use 0.

--EDIT--

Based on your comment, you might want to check out this link. http://peltiertech.com/WordPress/mind-the-gap-charting-empty-cells/

It goes in depth on the graphing issues and what the various values represent, and how to manipulate their output on a chart.

I'm not familiar with VSTO I'm afraid. So I won't be much help there. But if you are really placing formulas in the cell, then there really is no way. ISBLANK() only tests to see if a cell is blank or not, it doesn't have a way to make it blank. It's possible to write code in VBA (and VSTO I imagine) that would run on a worksheet_change event and update the various values instead of using formulas. But that would be cumbersome and performance would take a hit.

Find Java classes implementing an interface

The code you are talking about sounds like ServiceLoader, which was introduced in Java 6 to support a feature that has been defined since Java 1.3 or earlier. For performance reasons, this is the recommended approach to find interface implementations at runtime; if you need support for this in an older version of Java, I hope that you'll find my implementation helpful.

There are a couple of implementations of this in earlier versions of Java, but in the Sun packages, not in the core API (I think there are some classes internal to ImageIO that do this). As the code is simple, I'd recommend providing your own implementation rather than relying on non-standard Sun code which is subject to change.

How do I connect to a terminal to a serial-to-USB device on Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat)?

You will need to set the permissions every time you plug the converter in. I use PuTTY to connect. In order to do so, I have created a little Bash script to sort out the permissions and launch PuTTY:

#!/bin/bash
sudo chmod 666 /dev/ttyUSB0

putty

P.S. I would never recommend that permissions are set to 777.

Explanation: the linking is dependent on the order of modules. Symbols are first requested, and then linked in from a library that has them. So you have to specify modules that use libraries first, and libraries after them. Like this:

gcc x.o y.o z.o -la -lb -lc

Moreover, in case there's a circular dependency, you should specify the same library on the command line several times. So in case libb needs symbol from libc and libc needs symbol from libb, the command line should be:

gcc x.o y.o z.o -la -lb -lc -lb

How to display multiple images in one figure correctly?

Here is my approach that you may try:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

w=10
h=10
fig=plt.figure(figsize=(8, 8))
columns = 4
rows = 5
for i in range(1, columns*rows +1):
    img = np.random.randint(10, size=(h,w))
    fig.add_subplot(rows, columns, i)
    plt.imshow(img)
plt.show()

The resulting image:

Edit 1

Since this answer is popular beyond my expectation. And I see that a small change is needed to enable flexibility for the manipulation of the individual plots. So that I offer this new version to the original code. In essence, it provides:-

  1. access to individual axes of subplots
  2. possibility to plot more features on selected axes/subplot

New code:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

w = 10
h = 10
fig = plt.figure(figsize=(9, 13))
columns = 4
rows = 5

# prep (x,y) for extra plotting
xs = np.linspace(0, 2*np.pi, 60)  # from 0 to 2pi
ys = np.abs(np.sin(xs))           # absolute of sine

# ax enables access to manipulate each of subplots
ax = []

for i in range(columns*rows):
    img = np.random.randint(10, size=(h,w))
    # create subplot and append to ax
    ax.append( fig.add_subplot(rows, columns, i+1) )
    ax[-1].set_title("ax:"+str(i))  # set title
    plt.imshow(img, alpha=0.25)

# do extra plots on selected axes/subplots
# note: index starts with 0
ax[2].plot(xs, 3*ys)
ax[19].plot(ys**2, xs)

plt.show()  # finally, render the plot

The resulting plot:

enter image description here

Edit 2

In the previous example, the code provides access to the sub-plots with single index, which is inconvenient when the figure has many rows/columns of sub-plots. Here is an alternative of it. The code below provides access to the sub-plots with [row_index][column_index], which is more suitable for manipulation of array of many sub-plots.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

# settings
h, w = 10, 10        # for raster image
nrows, ncols = 5, 4  # array of sub-plots
figsize = [6, 8]     # figure size, inches

# prep (x,y) for extra plotting on selected sub-plots
xs = np.linspace(0, 2*np.pi, 60)  # from 0 to 2pi
ys = np.abs(np.sin(xs))           # absolute of sine

# create figure (fig), and array of axes (ax)
fig, ax = plt.subplots(nrows=nrows, ncols=ncols, figsize=figsize)

# plot simple raster image on each sub-plot
for i, axi in enumerate(ax.flat):
    # i runs from 0 to (nrows*ncols-1)
    # axi is equivalent with ax[rowid][colid]
    img = np.random.randint(10, size=(h,w))
    axi.imshow(img, alpha=0.25)
    # get indices of row/column
    rowid = i // ncols
    colid = i % ncols
    # write row/col indices as axes' title for identification
    axi.set_title("Row:"+str(rowid)+", Col:"+str(colid))

# one can access the axes by ax[row_id][col_id]
# do additional plotting on ax[row_id][col_id] of your choice
ax[0][2].plot(xs, 3*ys, color='red', linewidth=3)
ax[4][3].plot(ys**2, xs, color='green', linewidth=3)

plt.tight_layout(True)
plt.show()

The resulting plot:

jQuery return ajax result into outside variable

I solved it by doing like that:

var return_first = (function () {
        var tmp = $.ajax({
            'type': "POST",
            'dataType': 'html',
            'url': "ajax.php?first",
            'data': { 'request': "", 'target': arrange_url, 'method': 
                    method_target },
            'success': function (data) {
                tmp = data;
            }
        }).done(function(data){
                return data;
        });
      return tmp;
    });

How to align input forms in HTML

I know this has already been answered, but I found a new way to align them nicely - with an extra benefit - see http://www.gargan.org/en/Web_Development/Form_Layout_with_CSS/

basically you use the label element around the input and align using that:

<label><span>Name</span> <input /></label>
<label><span>E-Mail</span> <input /></label>
<label><span>Comment</span> <textarea></textarea></label>

and then with css you simply align:

label {
    display:block;
    position:relative;
}

label span {
    font-weight:bold;
    position:absolute;
    left: 3px;
}

label input, label textarea, label select {
    margin-left: 120px;    
}
  • you do not need any messy br lying around for linebreaks - meaning you can quickly accomplish a multi-column layout dynamically
  • the whole line is click-able. Especially for checkboxes this is a huge help.
  • Dynamically showing/hiding form lines is easy (you just search for the input and hide its parent -> the label)
  • you can assign classes to the whole label making it show error input much clearer (not only around the input field)

Save plot to image file instead of displaying it using Matplotlib

The other answers are correct. However, I sometimes find that I want to open the figure object later. For example, I might want to change the label sizes, add a grid, or do other processing. In a perfect world, I would simply rerun the code generating the plot, and adapt the settings. Alas, the world is not perfect. Therefore, in addition to saving to PDF or PNG, I add:

with open('some_file.pkl', "wb") as fp:
    pickle.dump(fig, fp, protocol=4)

Like this, I can later load the figure object and manipulate the settings as I please.

I also write out the stack with the source-code and locals() dictionary for each function/method in the stack, so that I can later tell exactly what generated the figure.

NB: Be careful, as sometimes this method generates huge files.

How do the post increment (i++) and pre increment (++i) operators work in Java?

I believe however if you combine all of your statements and run it in Java 8.1 you will get a different answer, at least that's what my experience says.

The code will work like this:

int a=5,i;

i=++a + ++a + a++;            /*a = 5;
                                i=++a + ++a + a++; =>
                                i=6 + 7 + 7; (a=8); i=20;*/

i=a++ + ++a + ++a;           /*a = 5;
                                i=a++ + ++a + ++a; =>
                                i=8 + 10 + 11; (a=11); i=29;*/

a=++a + ++a + a++;            /*a=5;
                                a=++a + ++a + a++; =>
                                a=12 + 13 + 13;  a=38;*/

System.out.println(a);        //output: 38
System.out.println(i);         //output: 29

How to convert a Java object (bean) to key-value pairs (and vice versa)?

We can use the Jackson library to convert a Java object into a Map easily.

<dependency>
   <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
   <artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
   <version>2.6.3</version>
</dependency>

If using in an Android project, you can add jackson in your app's build.gradle as follows:

implementation 'com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-core:2.9.8'
implementation 'com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-annotations:2.9.8'
implementation 'com.fasterxml.jackson.core:jackson-databind:2.9.8'

Sample Implementation

public class Employee {

    private String name;
    private int id;
    private List<String> skillSet;

    // getters setters
}

public class ObjectToMap {

 public static void main(String[] args) {

    ObjectMapper objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();

    Employee emp = new Employee();
    emp.setName("XYZ");
    emp.setId(1011);
    emp.setSkillSet(Arrays.asList("python","java"));

    // object -> Map
    Map<String, Object> map = objectMapper.convertValue(emp, 
    Map.class);
    System.out.println(map);

 }

}

Output:

{name=XYZ, id=1011, skills=[python, java]}

What is the difference between UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1?

My reason for researching this question was from the perspective, is in what way are they compatible. Latin1 charset (iso-8859) is 100% compatible to be stored in a utf8 datastore. All ascii & extended-ascii chars will be stored as single-byte.

Going the other way, from utf8 to Latin1 charset may or may not work. If there are any 2-byte chars (chars beyond extended-ascii 255) they will not store in a Latin1 datastore.

How to read a CSV file into a .NET Datatable

I came across this piece of code that uses Linq and regex to parse a CSV file. The refering article is now over a year and a half old, but have not come across a neater way to parse a CSV using Linq (and regex) than this. The caveat is the regex applied here is for comma delimited files (will detect commas inside quotes!) and that it may not take well to headers, but there is a way to overcome these). Take a peak:

Dim lines As String() = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines(strCustomerFile)
Dim pattern As String = ",(?=(?:[^""]*""[^""]*"")*(?![^""]*""))"
Dim r As System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex = New System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex(pattern)
Dim custs = From line In lines _
            Let data = r.Split(line) _
                Select New With {.custnmbr = data(0), _
                                 .custname = data(1)}
For Each cust In custs
    strCUSTNMBR = Replace(cust.custnmbr, Chr(34), "")
    strCUSTNAME = Replace(cust.custname, Chr(34), "")
Next

How to transfer data from JSP to servlet when submitting HTML form

Well, there are plenty of database tutorials online for java (what you're looking for is called JDBC). But if you are using plain servlets, you will have a class that extends HttpServlet and inside it you will have two methods that look like

public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp){

}

and

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp){

}

One of them is called to handle GET operations and another is used to handle POST operations. You will then use the HttpServletRequest object to get the parameters that were passed as part of the form like so:

String name = req.getParameter("name");

Then, once you have the data from the form, it's relatively easy to add it to a database using a JDBC tutorial that is widely available on the web. I also suggest searching for a basic Java servlet tutorial to get you started. It's very easy, although there are a number of steps that need to be configured correctly.

Read specific columns with pandas or other python module

An easy way to do this is using the pandas library like this.

import pandas as pd
fields = ['star_name', 'ra']

df = pd.read_csv('data.csv', skipinitialspace=True, usecols=fields)
# See the keys
print df.keys()
# See content in 'star_name'
print df.star_name

The problem here was the skipinitialspace which remove the spaces in the header. So ' star_name' becomes 'star_name'

How to make an HTTP request + basic auth in Swift

In Swift 2:

extension NSMutableURLRequest {
    func setAuthorizationHeader(username username: String, password: String) -> Bool {
        guard let data = "\(username):\(password)".dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding) else { return false }

        let base64 = data.base64EncodedStringWithOptions([])
        setValue("Basic \(base64)", forHTTPHeaderField: "Authorization")
        return true
    }
}

How do I enable EF migrations for multiple contexts to separate databases?

The 2nd call to Enable-Migrations is failing because the Configuration.cs file already exists. If you rename that class and file, you should be able to run that 2nd Enable-Migrations, which will create another Configuration.cs.

You will then need to specify which configuration you want to use when updating the databases.

Update-Database -ConfigurationTypeName MyRenamedConfiguration

chai test array equality doesn't work as expected

This is how to use chai to deeply test associative arrays.

I had an issue trying to assert that two associative arrays were equal. I know that these shouldn't really be used in javascript but I was writing unit tests around legacy code which returns a reference to an associative array. :-)

I did it by defining the variable as an object (not array) prior to my function call:

var myAssocArray = {};   // not []
var expectedAssocArray = {};  // not []

expectedAssocArray['myKey'] = 'something';
expectedAssocArray['differentKey'] = 'something else';

// legacy function which returns associate array reference
myFunction(myAssocArray);

assert.deepEqual(myAssocArray, expectedAssocArray,'compare two associative arrays');

Ruby objects and JSON serialization (without Rails)

Check out Oj. There are gotchas when it comes to converting any old object to JSON, but Oj can do it.

require 'oj'

class A
    def initialize a=[1,2,3], b='hello'
        @a = a
        @b = b
    end
end

a = A.new
puts Oj::dump a, :indent => 2

This outputs:

{
  "^o":"A",
  "a":[
    1,
    2,
    3
  ],
 "b":"hello"
}

Note that ^o is used to designate the object's class, and is there to aid deserialization. To omit ^o, use :compat mode:

puts Oj::dump a, :indent => 2, :mode => :compat

Output:

{
  "a":[
    1,
    2,
    3
  ],
  "b":"hello"
}

Hide div by default and show it on click with bootstrap

Here I propose a way to do this exclusively using the Bootstrap framework built-in functionality.

  1. You need to make sure the target div has an ID.
  2. Bootstrap has a class "collapse", this will hide your block by default. If you want your div to be collapsible AND be shown by default you need to add "in" class to the collapse. Otherwise the toggle behavior will not work properly.
  3. Then, on your hyperlink (also works for buttons), add an href attribute that points to your target div.
  4. Finally, add the attribute data-toggle="collapse" to instruct Bootstrap to add an appropriate toggle script to this tag.

Here is a code sample than can be copy-pasted directly on a page that already includes Bootstrap framework (up to version 3.4.1):

<a href="#Foo" class="btn btn-default" data-toggle="collapse">Toggle Foo</a>
<button href="#Bar" class="btn btn-default" data-toggle="collapse">Toggle Bar</button>
<div id="Foo" class="collapse">
    This div (Foo) is hidden by default
</div>
<div id="Bar" class="collapse in">
    This div (Bar) is shown by default and can toggle
</div>

Is this the proper way to do boolean test in SQL?

A boolean in SQL is a bit field. This means either 1 or 0. The correct syntax is:

select * from users where active = 1 /* All Active Users */

or

select * from users where active = 0 /* All Inactive Users */

The difference between Classes, Objects, and Instances

Honestly, I feel more comfortable with Alfred blog definitions:

Object: real world objects shares 2 main characteristics, state and behavior. Human have state (name, age) and behavior (running, sleeping). Car have state (current speed, current gear) and behavior (applying brake, changing gear). Software objects are conceptually similar to real-world objects: they too consist of state and related behavior. An object stores its state in fields and exposes its behavior through methods.

Class: is a “template” / “blueprint” that is used to create objects. Basically, a class will consists of field, static field, method, static method and constructor. Field is used to hold the state of the class (eg: name of Student object). Method is used to represent the behavior of the class (eg: how a Student object going to stand-up). Constructor is used to create a new Instance of the Class.

Instance: An instance is a unique copy of a Class that representing an Object. When a new instance of a class is created, the JVM will allocate a room of memory for that class instance.

Given the next example:

public class Person {
    private int id;
    private String name;
    private int age;

    public Person (int id, String name, int age) {
        this.id = id;
        this.name = name;
        this.age = age;
    }

    public int hashCode() {
        final int prime = 31;
        int result = 1;
        result = prime * result + id;
        return result;
    }

    public boolean equals(Object obj) {
        if (this == obj)
            return true;
        if (obj == null)
            return false;
        if (getClass() != obj.getClass())
            return false;
        Person other = (Person) obj;
        if (id != other.id)
            return false;
        return true;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        //case 1
        Person p1 = new Person(1, "Carlos", 20);
        Person p2 = new Person(1, "Carlos", 20);

        //case 2
        Person p3 = new Person(2, "John", 15);
        Person p4 = new Person(3, "Mary", 17);
    }
}

For case 1, there are two instances of the class Person, but both instances represent the same object.

For case 2, there are two instances of the class Person, but each instance represent a different object.

So class, object and instance are different things. Object and instance are not synonyms as is suggested in the answer selected as right answer.

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

Ok so I took Joshoun code and made it generic. I am not sure if I should implement singleton pattern on SynchronousPost class. Maybe someone more knowledgeble can help.

Implementation

//I assume you have your own concrete type. In my case I have am using code first with a class called FileCategory

FileCategory x = new FileCategory { CategoryName = "Some Bs"};
SynchronousPost<FileCategory>test= new SynchronousPost<FileCategory>();
test.PostEntity(x, "/api/ApiFileCategories"); 

Generic Class here. You can pass any type

 public class SynchronousPost<T>where T :class
    {
        public SynchronousPost()
        {
            Client = new WebClient { UseDefaultCredentials = true };
        }

        public void PostEntity(T PostThis,string ApiControllerName)//The ApiController name should be "/api/MyName/"
        {
            //this just determines the root url.

My Api classs looks like this, if you are curious

public class ApiFileCategoriesController : ApiBaseController
{

        UnitOfWork = unitOfWork;
    }

    public IEnumerable<FileCategory> GetFiles()
    {
        return UnitOfWork.FileCategories.GetAll().OrderBy(x=>x.CategoryName);
    }
    public FileCategory GetFile(int id)
    {
        return UnitOfWork.FileCategories.GetById(id);
    }
    //Post api/ApileFileCategories

    public HttpResponseMessage Post(FileCategory fileCategory)
    {
        UnitOfWork.FileCategories.Add(fileCategory);
        UnitOfWork.Commit(); 
        return new HttpResponseMessage();
    }
}

I am using ninject, and repo pattern with unit of work. Anyways, the generic class above really helps.

How do I delete rows in a data frame?

Create id column in your data frame or use any column name to identify the row. Using index is not fair to delete.

Use subset function to create new frame.

updated_myData <- subset(myData, id!= 6)
print (updated_myData)

updated_myData <- subset(myData, id %in% c(1, 3, 5, 7))
print (updated_myData)

get current page from url

A simple function like below will help :

public string GetCurrentPageName() 
{ 
    string sPath = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.AbsolutePath; 
    System.IO.FileInfo oInfo = new System.IO.FileInfo(sPath); 
    string sRet = oInfo.Name; 
    return sRet; 
} 

Default fetch type for one-to-one, many-to-one and one-to-many in Hibernate

It depends on whether you are using JPA or Hibernate.

From the JPA 2.0 spec, the defaults are:

OneToMany: LAZY
ManyToOne: EAGER
ManyToMany: LAZY
OneToOne: EAGER

And in hibernate, all is Lazy

UPDATE:

The latest version of Hibernate aligns with the above JPA defaults.

jQuery.animate() with css class only, without explicit styles

In many cases you're better off using CSS transitions for this, and in old browsers the easing will simply be instant. Most animations (like fade in/out) are very trivial to implement and the browser does all the legwork for you. https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/CSS/transition

MSIE and addEventListener Problem in Javascript?

The problem is that IE does not have the standard addEventListener method. IE uses its own attachEvent which does pretty much the same.

Good explanation of the differences, and also about the 3rd parameter can be found at quirksmode.

How to print / echo environment variables?

To bring the existing answers together with an important clarification:

As stated, the problem with NAME=sam echo "$NAME" is that $NAME gets expanded by the current shell before assignment NAME=sam takes effect.

Solutions that preserve the original semantics (of the (ineffective) solution attempt NAME=sam echo "$NAME"):

Use either eval[1] (as in the question itself), or printenv (as added by Aaron McDaid to heemayl's answer), or bash -c (from Ljm Dullaart's answer), in descending order of efficiency:

NAME=sam eval 'echo "$NAME"'  # use `eval` only if you fully control the command string
NAME=sam printenv NAME
NAME=sam bash -c 'echo "$NAME"'

printenv is not a POSIX utility, but it is available on both Linux and macOS/BSD.

What this style of invocation (<var>=<name> cmd ...) does is to define NAME:

  • as an environment variable
  • that is only defined for the command being invoked.

In other words: NAME only exists for the command being invoked, and has no effect on the current shell (if no variable named NAME existed before, there will be none after; a preexisting NAME variable remains unchanged).

POSIX defines the rules for this kind of invocation in its Command Search and Execution chapter.


The following solutions work very differently (from heemayl's answer):

NAME=sam; echo "$NAME"
NAME=sam && echo "$NAME"

While they produce the same output, they instead define:

  • a shell variable NAME (only) rather than an environment variable
    • if echo were a command that relied on environment variable NAME, it wouldn't be defined (or potentially defined differently from earlier).
  • that lives on after the command.

Note that every environment variable is also exposed as a shell variable, but the inverse is not true: shell variables are only visible to the current shell and its subshells, but not to child processes, such as external utilities and (non-sourced) scripts (unless they're marked as environment variables with export or declare -x).


[1] Technically, bash is in violation of POSIX here (as is zsh): Since eval is a special shell built-in, the preceding NAME=sam assignment should cause the the variable $NAME to remain in scope after the command finishes, but that's not what happens.
However, when you run bash in POSIX compatibility mode, it is compliant.
dash and ksh are always compliant.
The exact rules are complicated, and some aspects are left up to the implementations to decide; again, see Command Search and Execution.
Also, the usual disclaimer applies: Use eval only on input you fully control or implicitly trust.

Difference between "read commited" and "repeatable read"

Simply the answer according to my reading and understanding to this thread and @remus-rusanu answer is based on this simple scenario:

There are two transactions A and B. Transaction B is reading Table X Transaction A is writing in table X Transaction B is reading again in Table X.

  • ReadUncommitted: Transaction B can read uncommitted data from Transaction A and it could see different rows based on B writing. No lock at all
  • ReadCommitted: Transaction B can read ONLY committed data from Transaction A and it could see different rows based on COMMITTED only B writing. could we call it Simple Lock?
  • RepeatableRead: Transaction B will read the same data (rows) whatever Transaction A is doing. But Transaction A can change other rows. Rows level Block
  • Serialisable: Transaction B will read the same rows as before and Transaction A cannot read or write in the table. Table-level Block
  • Snapshot: every Transaction has its own copy and they are working on it. Each one has its own view

Python not working in command prompt?

  7. Hit enter twice. Hit esc.
  8. Use windows key + r to bring up the run dialog. Type in python and press enter.

How can I extract the folder path from file path in Python?

Anyone trying to do this in the ESRI GIS Table field calculator interface can do this with the Python parser:

PathToContainingFolder =

so that

\Users\me\Desktop\New folder\file.txt

becomes

\Users\me\Desktop\New folder

Javascript - How to extract filename from a file input control

To split the string ({filepath}/{filename}) and get the file name you could use something like this:

str.split(/(\\|\/)/g).pop()

"The pop method removes the last element from an array and returns that value to the caller."
Mozilla Developer Network

Example:

from: "/home/user/file.txt".split(/(\\|\/)/g).pop()

you get: "file.txt"

Is there a way to view two blocks of code from the same file simultaneously in Sublime Text?

In the nav go View => Layout => Columns:2 (alt+shift+2) and open your file again in the other pane (i.e. click the other pane and use ctrl+p filename.py)

It appears you can also reopen the file using the command File -> New View into File which will open the current file in a new tab

To draw an Underline below the TextView in Android

If your TextView has fixed width, alternative solution can be to create a View which will look like an underline and position it right below your TextView.

<RelativeLayout
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="match_parent">

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/myTextView"
            android:layout_width="20dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

        <View
            android:layout_width="20dp"
            android:layout_height="1dp"
            android:layout_below="@+id/myTextView"
            android:background="#CCCCCC"/>
</RelativeLayout>

Getting distance between two points based on latitude/longitude

You can use Uber's H3,point_dist() function to compute the spherical distance between two (lat, lng) points. We can set return unit ('km', 'm', or 'rads'). The default unit is Km.

Example :

import H3

coords_1 = (52.2296756, 21.0122287)
coords_2 = (52.406374, 16.9251681)
distance = h3.point_dist(coords_1,coords_2) #278.4584889328128

Hope this will usefull!

How to calculate time elapsed in bash script?

Define this function (say in ~/.bashrc):

time::clock() {
    [ -z "$ts" ]&&{ ts=`date +%s%N`;return;}||te=`date +%s%N`
    printf "%6.4f" $(echo $((te-ts))/1000000000 | bc -l)
    unset ts te
}

Now you can measure time of parts of your scripts:

$ cat script.sh
# ... code ...
time::clock
sleep 0.5
echo "Total time: ${time::clock}"
# ... more code ...

$ ./script.sh
Total time: 0.5060

very useful to find execution bottlenecks.

Kotlin unresolved reference in IntelliJ

Sometimes in similar situations (I don't think it is your problem because your case is very simple) it's worth to check kotlin file package.

What is the preferred/idiomatic way to insert into a map?

As of C++11, you have two major additional options. First, you can use insert() with list initialization syntax:

function.insert({0, 42});

This is functionally equivalent to

function.insert(std::map<int, int>::value_type(0, 42));

but much more concise and readable. As other answers have noted, this has several advantages over the other forms:

  • The operator[] approach requires the mapped type to be assignable, which isn't always the case.
  • The operator[] approach can overwrite existing elements, and gives you no way to tell whether this has happened.
  • The other forms of insert that you list involve an implicit type conversion, which may slow your code down.

The major drawback is that this form used to require the key and value to be copyable, so it wouldn't work with e.g. a map with unique_ptr values. That has been fixed in the standard, but the fix may not have reached your standard library implementation yet.

Second, you can use the emplace() method:

function.emplace(0, 42);

This is more concise than any of the forms of insert(), works fine with move-only types like unique_ptr, and theoretically may be slightly more efficient (although a decent compiler should optimize away the difference). The only major drawback is that it may surprise your readers a little, since emplace methods aren't usually used that way.

javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: Trust anchor for certification path not found

(or on Windows:)

set MAVEN_OPTS=-Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m

Write HTML file using Java

if it is becoming repetitive work ; i think you shud do code reuse ! why dont you simply write functions that "write" small building blocks of HTML. get the idea? see Eg. you can have a function to which you could pass a string and it would automatically put that into a paragraph tag and present it. Of course you would also need to write some kind of a basic parser to do this (how would the function know where to attach the paragraph!). i dont think you are a beginner .. so i am not elaborating ... do tell me if you do not understand..
