Programs & Examples On #Github api

An API used to retrieve information about data on GitHub.

How can I see the size of a GitHub repository before cloning it?

There's a way to access this information through the GitHub API.

When retrieving information about a repository, a property named size is valued with the size of the whole repository (including all of its history), in kilobytes.

For instance, the Git repository weights around 124 MB. The size property of the returned JSON payload is valued to 124283.

Update

The size is indeed expressed in kilobytes based on the disk usage of the server-side bare repository. However, in order to avoid wasting too much space with repositories with a large network, GitHub relies on Git Alternates. In this configuration, calculating the disk usage against the bare repository doesn't account for the shared object store and thus returns an "incomplete" value through the API call.

This information has been given by GitHub support.

Use Invoke-WebRequest with a username and password for basic authentication on the GitHub API

I know this is a little off the OPs original request but I came across this while looking for a way to use Invoke-WebRequest against a site requiring basic authentication.

The difference is, I did not want to record the password in the script. Instead, I wanted to prompt the script runner for credentials for the site.

Here's how I handled it

$creds = Get-Credential

$basicCreds = [pscredential]::new($Creds.UserName,$Creds.Password)

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $URL -Credential $basicCreds

The result is the script runner is prompted with a login dialog for the U/P then, Invoke-WebRequest is able to access the site with those credentials. This works because $Creds.Password is already an encrypted string.

I hope this helps someone looking for a similar solution to the above question but without saving the username or PW in the script

Git cli: get user info from username

Try this

git config user.name

git config command stores and gives all the information.

git config -l

This commands gives you all the required info that you want.

You can change the information using

git config --global user.name "<Your-name>"

Similarly you can change many info shown to you using -l option.

Float sum with javascript

Once you read what What Every Computer Scientist Should Know About Floating-Point Arithmetic you could use the .toFixed() function:

var result = parseFloat('2.3') + parseFloat('2.4');
alert(result.toFixed(2));?

jQuery hasClass() - check for more than one class

element.is('.class1, .class2')

works, but it's 35% slower than

element.hasClass('class1') || element.hasClass('class2')

enter image description here

If you doubt what i say, you can verify on jsperf.com.

Hope this help someone.

Mixed mode assembly is built against version ‘v2.0.50727' of the runtime

If the error happens with error column "File" as SGEN, then the fix needs to be in a file sgen.exe.config, next to sgen.exe. For example, for VS 2015, create C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0A\bin\NETFX 4.6 Tools\sgen.exe.config. Minimum file contents: <configuration><startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true"/></configuration>

How do you send an HTTP Get Web Request in Python?

You can use urllib2

import urllib2
content = urllib2.urlopen(some_url).read()
print content

Also you can use httplib

import httplib
conn = httplib.HTTPConnection("www.python.org")
conn.request("HEAD","/index.html")
res = conn.getresponse()
print res.status, res.reason
# Result:
200 OK

or the requests library

import requests
r = requests.get('https://api.github.com/user', auth=('user', 'pass'))
r.status_code
# Result:
200

How do I check if an index exists on a table field in MySQL?

Try:

SELECT * FROM information_schema.statistics 
  WHERE table_schema = [DATABASE NAME] 
    AND table_name = [TABLE NAME] AND column_name = [COLUMN NAME]

It will tell you if there is an index of any kind on a certain column without the need to know the name given to the index. It will also work in a stored procedure (as opposed to show index)

What does "wrong number of arguments (1 for 0)" mean in Ruby?

I assume you called a function with an argument which was defined without taking any.

def f()
  puts "hello world"
end

f(1)   # <= wrong number of arguments (1 for 0)

Boolean operators && and ||

The shorter ones are vectorized, meaning they can return a vector, like this:

((-2:2) >= 0) & ((-2:2) <= 0)
# [1] FALSE FALSE  TRUE FALSE FALSE

The longer form evaluates left to right examining only the first element of each vector, so the above gives

((-2:2) >= 0) && ((-2:2) <= 0)
# [1] FALSE

As the help page says, this makes the longer form "appropriate for programming control-flow and [is] typically preferred in if clauses."

So you want to use the long forms only when you are certain the vectors are length one.

You should be absolutely certain your vectors are only length 1, such as in cases where they are functions that return only length 1 booleans. You want to use the short forms if the vectors are length possibly >1. So if you're not absolutely sure, you should either check first, or use the short form and then use all and any to reduce it to length one for use in control flow statements, like if.

The functions all and any are often used on the result of a vectorized comparison to see if all or any of the comparisons are true, respectively. The results from these functions are sure to be length 1 so they are appropriate for use in if clauses, while the results from the vectorized comparison are not. (Though those results would be appropriate for use in ifelse.

One final difference: the && and || only evaluate as many terms as they need to (which seems to be what is meant by short-circuiting). For example, here's a comparison using an undefined value a; if it didn't short-circuit, as & and | don't, it would give an error.

a
# Error: object 'a' not found
TRUE || a
# [1] TRUE
FALSE && a
# [1] FALSE
TRUE | a
# Error: object 'a' not found
FALSE & a
# Error: object 'a' not found

Finally, see section 8.2.17 in The R Inferno, titled "and and andand".

Simply uninstall existing app will solve the problem

How to check the value given is a positive or negative integer?

For checking positive integer:

var isPositiveInteger = function(n) {
        return ($.isNumeric(n)) && (Math.floor(n) == n) && (n > 0); 
}

Default argument values in JavaScript functions

You cannot add default values for function parameters. But you can do this:

function tester(paramA, paramB){
 if (typeof paramA == "undefined"){
   paramA = defaultValue;
 }
 if (typeof paramB == "undefined"){
   paramB = defaultValue;
 }
}

How can I use delay() with show() and hide() in Jquery

from jquery api

Added to jQuery in version 1.4, the .delay() method allows us to delay the execution of functions that follow it in the queue. It can be used with the standard effects queue or with a custom queue. Only subsequent events in a queue are delayed; for example this will not delay the no-arguments forms of .show() or .hide() which do not use the effects queue.

http://api.jquery.com/delay/

cannot make a static reference to the non-static field

The static calls to withdraw and deposit are your problem. account.withdraw(balance, 2500); This line can't work , since "balance" is an instance variable of Account. The code doesn't make much sense anyway, wouldn't withdraw/deposit be encapsulated inside the Account object itself? so the withdraw should be more like

public void withdraw(double withdrawAmount)
{
    balance -= withdrawAmount;
}

Of course depending on your problem you could do additional validation here to prevent negative balance etc.

Absolute position of an element on the screen using jQuery

For the absolute coordinates of any jquery element I wrote this function, it probably doesnt work for all css position types but maybe its a good start for someone ..

function AbsoluteCoordinates($element) {
    var sTop = $(window).scrollTop();
    var sLeft = $(window).scrollLeft();
    var w = $element.width();
    var h = $element.height();
    var offset = $element.offset(); 
    var $p = $element;
    while(typeof $p == 'object') {
        var pOffset = $p.parent().offset();
        if(typeof pOffset == 'undefined') break;
        offset.left = offset.left + (pOffset.left);
        offset.top = offset.top + (pOffset.top);
        $p = $p.parent();
    }

    var pos = {
          left: offset.left + sLeft,
          right: offset.left + w + sLeft,
          top:  offset.top + sTop,
          bottom: offset.top + h + sTop,
    }
    pos.tl = { x: pos.left, y: pos.top };
    pos.tr = { x: pos.right, y: pos.top };
    pos.bl = { x: pos.left, y: pos.bottom };
    pos.br = { x: pos.right, y: pos.bottom };
    //console.log( 'left: ' + pos.left + ' - right: ' + pos.right +' - top: ' + pos.top +' - bottom: ' + pos.bottom  );
    return pos;
}

Pass variables by reference in JavaScript

JavaScript not being strong type. It allows you to resolve problems in many different ways, as it seem in this question.

However, for a maintainability point of view, I would have to agree with Bart Hofland. A function should get arguments to do something with and return the result. Making them easily reusable.

If you feel that variables need to be passed by reference, you may be better served building them into objects, IMHO.

change type of input field with jQuery

This will do the trick. Although it could be improved to ignore attributes that are now irrelevant.

Plugin:

(function($){
  $.fn.changeType = function(type) {  
    return this.each(function(i, elm) {
        var newElm = $("<input type=\""+type+"\" />");
        for(var iAttr = 0; iAttr < elm.attributes.length; iAttr++) {
            var attribute = elm.attributes[iAttr].name;
            if(attribute === "type") {
                continue;
            }
            newElm.attr(attribute, elm.attributes[iAttr].value);
        }
        $(elm).replaceWith(newElm);
    });
  };
})(jQuery);

Usage:

$(":submit").changeType("checkbox");

Java double comparison epsilon

Yes. Java doubles will hold their precision better than your given epsilon of 0.00001.

Any rounding error that occurs due to the storage of floating point values will occur smaller than 0.00001. I regularly use 1E-6 or 0.000001 for a double epsilon in Java with no trouble.

On a related note, I like the format of epsilon = 1E-5; because I feel it is more readable (1E-5 in Java = 1 x 10^-5). 1E-6 is easy to distinguish from 1E-5 when reading code whereas 0.00001 and 0.000001 look so similar when glancing at code I think they are the same value.

python NameError: global name '__file__' is not defined

You will get this if you are running the commands from the python shell:

>>> __file__
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name '__file__' is not defined

You need to execute the file directly, by passing it in as an argument to the python command:

$ python somefile.py

In your case, it should really be python setup.py install

How to unstash only certain files?

I think VonC's answer is probably what you want, but here's a way to do a selective "git apply":

Bash if statement with multiple conditions throws an error

You can use either [[ or (( keyword. When you use [[ keyword, you have to use string operators such as -eq, -lt. I think, (( is most preferred for arithmetic, because you can directly use operators such as ==, < and >.

Using [[ operator

a=$1
b=$2
if [[ a -eq 1 || b -eq 2 ]] || [[ a -eq 3 && b -eq 4 ]]
then
     echo "Error"
else
     echo "No Error"
fi

Using (( operator

a=$1
b=$2
if (( a == 1 || b == 2 )) || (( a == 3 && b == 4 ))
then
     echo "Error"
else
     echo "No Error"
fi

Do not use -a or -o operators Since it is not Portable.

How to make a parent div auto size to the width of its children divs

Your interior <div> elements should likely both be float:left. Divs size to 100% the size of their container width automatically. Try using display:inline-block instead of width:auto on the container div. Or possibly float:left the container and also apply overflow:auto. Depends on what you're after exactly.

In c++ what does a tilde "~" before a function name signify?

It's the destructor, it destroys the instance, frees up memory, etc. etc.

Here's a description from ibm.com:

Destructors are usually used to deallocate memory and do other cleanup for a class object and its class members when the object is destroyed. A destructor is called for a class object when that object passes out of scope or is explicitly deleted.

How to execute Python scripts in Windows?

Found an incredibly useful answer here: How to run different python versions in cmd?

I would suggest using the Python Launcher for Windows utility that introduced was into Python 3.3 a while ago. You can also manually download and install it directly from the author's website for use with earlier versions of Python 2 and 3.

Regardless of how you obtain it, after installation it will have associated itself with all the standard Python file extensions (i.e. .py, .pyw, .pyc, and .pyo files). You'll not only be able to explicitly control which version is used at the command-prompt, but also on a script-by-script basis by adding Linux/Unix-y shebang #!/usr/bin/env pythonX comments at the beginning of your Python scripts.

As J.F. Sebastian suggests, Python Launcher for Windows is the best and default choice for launching different version of Python in Windows. It used to be a third-party tool, but now it is officially supported since Python 3.3.

New in version 3.3.

The Python launcher for Windows is a utility which aids in the location and execution of different Python versions. It allows scripts (or the command-line) to indicate a preference for a specific Python version, and will locate and execute that version.

This is a great tool just use it!

Postgres user does not exist?

OS X tends to prefix the system account names with "_"; you don't say what version of OS X you're using, but at least in 10.8 and 10.9 the _postgres user exists in a default install. Note that you won't be able to su to this account (except as root), since it doesn't have a password. sudo -u _postgres, on the other hand, should work fine.

Toggle Class in React

You have to use the component's State to update component parameters such as Class Name if you want React to render your DOM correctly and efficiently.

UPDATE: I updated the example to toggle the Sidemenu on a button click. This is not necessary, but you can see how it would work. You might need to use "this.state" vs. "this.props" as I have shown. I'm used to working with Redux components.

constructor(props){
    super(props);
}

getInitialState(){
  return {"showHideSidenav":"hidden"};
}

render() {
    return (
        <div className="header">
            <i className="border hide-on-small-and-down"></i>
            <div className="container">
                <a ref="btn" onClick={this.toggleSidenav.bind(this)} href="#" className="btn-menu show-on-small"><i></i></a>
                <Menu className="menu hide-on-small-and-down"/>
                <Sidenav className={this.props.showHideSidenav}/>
            </div>
        </div>
    )
}

toggleSidenav() {
    var css = (this.props.showHideSidenav === "hidden") ? "show" : "hidden";
    this.setState({"showHideSidenav":css});
}

Now, when you toggle the state, the component will update and change the class name of the sidenav component. You can use CSS to show/hide the sidenav using the class names.

.hidden {
   display:none;
}
.show{
   display:block;
}

How do I iterate through children elements of a div using jQuery?

I don't think that you need to use each(), you can use standard for loop

var children = $element.children().not(".pb-sortable-placeholder");
for (var i = 0; i < children.length; i++) {
    var currentChild = children.eq(i);
    // whatever logic you want
    var oldPosition = currentChild.data("position");
}

this way you can have the standard for loop features like break and continue works by default

also, the debugging will be easier

PHP cURL HTTP PUT

In a POST method, you can put an array. However, in a PUT method, you should use http_build_query to build the params like this:

curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query( $postArr ) );

Equivalent of String.format in jQuery

Way past the late season but I've just been looking at the answers given and have my tuppence worth:

Usage:

var one = strFormat('"{0}" is not {1}', 'aalert', 'defined');
var two = strFormat('{0} {0} {1} {2}', 3.14, 'a{2}bc', 'foo');

Method:

function strFormat() {
    var args = Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 1);
    return arguments[0].replace(/\{(\d+)\}/g, function (match, index) {
        return args[index];
    });
}

Result:

"aalert" is not defined
3.14 3.14 a{2}bc foo

High Quality Image Scaling Library

Use this library: http://imageresizing.net

Have a read of this article by the library author: 20 Image Sizing Pitfalls with .NET

Saving images in Python at a very high quality

You can save to a figure that is 1920x1080 (or 1080p) using:

fig = plt.figure(figsize=(19.20,10.80))

You can also go much higher or lower. The above solutions work well for printing, but these days you want the created image to go into a PNG/JPG or appear in a wide screen format.

Change input text border color without changing its height

Is this what you are looking for.

$("input.address_field").on('click', function(){  
     $(this).css('border', '2px solid red');
});

How to check for an undefined or null variable in JavaScript?

Both values can be easily distinguished by using the strict comparison operator:

Working example at:

http://www.thesstech.com/tryme?filename=nullandundefined

Sample Code:

function compare(){
    var a = null; //variable assigned null value
    var b;  // undefined
    if (a === b){
        document.write("a and b have same datatype.");
    }
    else{
        document.write("a and b have different datatype.");
    }   
}

R: Break for loop

your break statement should break out of the for (in in 1:n).

Personally I am always wary with break statements and double check it by printing to the console to double check that I am in fact breaking out of the right loop. So before you test add the following statement, which will let you know if you break before it reaches the end. However, I have no idea how you are handling the variable n so I don't know if it would be helpful to you. Make a n some test value where you know before hand if it is supposed to break out or not before reaching n.

for (in in 1:n)
{
    if (in == n)         #add this statement
    {
        "sorry but the loop did not break"
    }

    id_novo <- new_table_df$ID[in]
    if(id_velho==id_novo)
    {
        break
    }
    else if(in == n)
    {
        sold_df <- rbind(sold_df,old_table_df[out,])
    }
}

How to get a value from the last inserted row?

Use that simple code:

// Do your insert code

myDataBase.execSQL("INSERT INTO TABLE_NAME (FIELD_NAME1,FIELD_NAME2,...)VALUES (VALUE1,VALUE2,...)");

// Use the sqlite function "last_insert_rowid"

Cursor last_id_inserted = yourBD.rawQuery("SELECT last_insert_rowid()", null);

// Retrieve data from cursor.

last_id_inserted.moveToFirst(); // Don't forget that!

ultimo_id = last_id_inserted.getLong(0);  // For Java, the result is returned on Long type  (64)

Set width of a "Position: fixed" div relative to parent div

You need to give the same style of the fixed element and its parent element. One of these examples is created with max widths and in the other example with paddings.

Preventing iframe caching in browser

If you want to get really crazy you could implement the page name as a dynamic url that always resolves to the same page, rather than the querystring option?

Assuming you're in an office, check whether there's any caching going on at a network level. Believe me, it's a possibility. Your IT folks will be able to tell you if there's any network infrastructure around HTTP caching, although since this only happens for the iframe it's unlikely.

Easy way to get a test file into JUnit

You can try @Rule annotation. Here is the example from the docs:

public static class UsesExternalResource {
    Server myServer = new Server();

    @Rule public ExternalResource resource = new ExternalResource() {
        @Override
        protected void before() throws Throwable {
            myServer.connect();
        };

        @Override
        protected void after() {
            myServer.disconnect();
        };
    };

    @Test public void testFoo() {
        new Client().run(myServer);
    }
}

You just need to create FileResource class extending ExternalResource.

python getoutput() equivalent in subprocess

To catch errors with subprocess.check_output(), you can use CalledProcessError. If you want to use the output as string, decode it from the bytecode.

# \return String of the output, stripped from whitespace at right side; or None on failure.
def runls():
    import subprocess
    try:
        byteOutput = subprocess.check_output(['ls', '-a'], timeout=2)
        return byteOutput.decode('UTF-8').rstrip()
    except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e:
        print("Error in ls -a:\n", e.output)
        return None

How can I "reset" an Arduino board?

If the port says Already used, then you are probably using the wrong port.

Switch it to the port where you connected your Arduino and then try to re-upload, you will definitely see it work.

How to select the first, second, or third element with a given class name?

This isn't so much an answer as a non-answer, i.e. an example showing why one of the highly voted answers above is actually wrong.

I thought that answer looked good. In fact, it gave me what I was looking for: :nth-of-type which, for my situation, worked. (So, thanks for that, @Bdwey.)

I initially read the comment by @BoltClock (which says that the answer is essentially wrong) and dismissed it, as I had checked my use case, and it worked. Then I realized @BoltClock had a reputation of 300,000+(!) and has a profile where he claims to be a CSS guru. Hmm, I thought, maybe I should look a little closer.

Turns out as follows: div.myclass:nth-of-type(2) does NOT mean "the 2nd instance of div.myclass". Rather, it means "the 2nd instance of div, and it must also have the 'myclass' class". That's an important distinction when there are intervening divs between your div.myclass instances.

It took me some time to get my head around this. So, to help others figure it out more quickly, I've written an example which I believe demonstrates the concept more clearly than a written description: I've hijacked the h1, h2, h3 and h4 elements to essentially be divs. I've put an A class on some of them, grouped them in 3's, and then colored the 1st, 2nd and 3rd instances blue, orange and green using h?.A:nth-of-type(?). (But, if you're reading carefully, you should be asking "the 1st, 2nd and 3rd instances of what?"). I also interjected a dissimilar (i.e. different h level) or similar (i.e. same h level) un-classed element into some of the groups.

Note, in particular, the last grouping of 3. Here, an un-classed h3 element is inserted between the first and second h3.A elements. In this case, no 2nd color (i.e. orange) appears, and the 3rd color (i.e. green) shows up on the 2nd instance of h3.A. This shows that the n in h3.A:nth-of-type(n) is counting the h3s, not the h3.As.

Well, hope that helps. And thanks, @BoltClock.

How to define a variable in a Dockerfile?

You can use ARG - see https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/#arg

The ARG instruction defines a variable that users can pass at build-time to the builder with the docker build command using the --build-arg <varname>=<value> flag. If a user specifies a build argument that was not defined in the Dockerfile, the build outputs an error.

How Can I Set the Default Value of a Timestamp Column to the Current Timestamp with Laravel Migrations?

As additional possibility for future googlers

I find it more useful to have null in the updated_at column when the record is been created but has never been modified. It reduces the db size (ok, just a little) and its possible to see it at the first sight that the data has never been modified.

As of this I use:

$table->timestamp('created_at')->useCurrent();
$table->timestamp('updated_at')->default(DB::raw('NULL ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP'))->nullable();

(In Laravel 7 with mysql 8).

What does question mark and dot operator ?. mean in C# 6.0?

This is relatively new to C# which makes it easy for us to call the functions with respect to the null or non-null values in method chaining.

old way to achieve the same thing was:

var functionCaller = this.member;
if (functionCaller!= null)
    functionCaller.someFunction(var someParam);

and now it has been made much easier with just:

member?.someFunction(var someParam);

I strongly recommend this doc page.

Bootstrap 3 - How to load content in modal body via AJAX?

In the case where you need to update the same modal with content from different Ajax / API calls here's a working solution.

$('.btn-action').click(function(){
    var url = $(this).data("url"); 
    $.ajax({
        url: url,
        dataType: 'json',
        success: function(res) {

            // get the ajax response data
            var data = res.body;

            // update modal content here
            // you may want to format data or 
            // update other modal elements here too
            $('.modal-body').text(data);

            // show modal
            $('#myModal').modal('show');

        },
        error:function(request, status, error) {
            console.log("ajax call went wrong:" + request.responseText);
        }
    });
});

Is there an SQLite equivalent to MySQL's DESCRIBE [table]?

If you're using a graphical tool. It shows you the schema right next to the table name. In case of DB Browser For Sqlite, click to open the database(top right corner), navigate and open your database, you'll see the information populated in the table as below.

enter image description here

right click on the record/table_name, click on copy create statement and there you have it.

Hope it helped some beginner who failed to work with the commandline.

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

Have you tried just using the mysql command line client directly?

mysql -u username -p -h hostname databasename < dump.sql

If you can't do that, there are any number of utilities you can find by Googling that help you import a large dump into MySQL, like BigDump

Check for file exists or not in sql server?

Create a function like so:

CREATE FUNCTION dbo.fn_FileExists(@path varchar(512))
RETURNS BIT
AS
BEGIN
     DECLARE @result INT
     EXEC master.dbo.xp_fileexist @path, @result OUTPUT
     RETURN cast(@result as bit)
END;
GO

Edit your table and add a computed column (IsExists BIT). Set the expression to:

dbo.fn_FileExists(filepath)

Then just select:

SELECT * FROM dbo.MyTable where IsExists = 1

Update:

To use the function outside a computed column:

select id, filename, dbo.fn_FileExists(filename) as IsExists
from dbo.MyTable

Update:

If the function returns 0 for a known file, then there is likely a permissions issue. Make sure the SQL Server's account has sufficient permissions to access the folder and files. Read-only should be enough.

And YES, by default, the 'NETWORK SERVICE' account will not have sufficient right into most folders. Right click on the folder in question and select 'Properties', then click on the 'Security' tab. Click 'Edit' and add 'Network Service'. Click 'Apply' and retest.

get user timezone

This will get you the timezone as a PHP variable. I wrote a function using jQuery and PHP. This is tested, and does work!

On the PHP page where you are want to have the timezone as a variable, have this snippet of code somewhere near the top of the page:

<?php    
    session_start();
    $timezone = $_SESSION['time'];
?>

This will read the session variable "time", which we are now about to create.

On the same page, in the <head> section, first of all you need to include jQuery:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"></script>

Also in the <head> section, paste this jQuery:

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
        if("<?php echo $timezone; ?>".length==0){
            var visitortime = new Date();
            var visitortimezone = "GMT " + -visitortime.getTimezoneOffset()/60;
            $.ajax({
                type: "GET",
                url: "http://example.com/timezone.php",
                data: 'time='+ visitortimezone,
                success: function(){
                    location.reload();
                }
            });
        }
    });
</script>

You may or may not have noticed, but you need to change the url to your actual domain.

One last thing. You are probably wondering what the heck timezone.php is. Well, it is simply this: (create a new file called timezone.php and point to it with the above url)

<?php
    session_start();
    $_SESSION['time'] = $_GET['time'];
?>

If this works correctly, it will first load the page, execute the JavaScript, and reload the page. You will then be able to read the $timezone variable and use it to your pleasure! It returns the current UTC/GMT time zone offset (GMT -7) or whatever timezone you are in.

How do I delete multiple rows in Entity Framework (without foreach)

You can use extensions libraries for doing that like EntityFramework.Extended or Z.EntityFramework.Plus.EF6, there are available for EF 5, 6 or Core. These libraries have great performance when you have to delete or update and they use LINQ. Example for deleting (source plus):

ctx.Users.Where(x => x.LastLoginDate < DateTime.Now.AddYears(-2)) .Delete();

or (source extended)

context.Users.Where(u => u.FirstName == "firstname") .Delete();

These use native SQL statements, so performance is great.

if 50 or less than 100 this will be 50% or less than 100 resolution so this will prevent from out of memory problem

Sending email with PHP from an SMTP server

When you are sending an e-mail through a server that requires SMTP Auth, you really need to specify it, and set the host, username and password (and maybe the port if it is not the default one - 25).

For example, I usually use PHPMailer with similar settings to this ones:

$mail = new PHPMailer();

// Settings
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->CharSet = 'UTF-8';

$mail->Host       = "mail.example.com"; // SMTP server example
$mail->SMTPDebug  = 0;                     // enables SMTP debug information (for testing)
$mail->SMTPAuth   = true;                  // enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Port       = 25;                    // set the SMTP port for the GMAIL server
$mail->Username   = "username"; // SMTP account username example
$mail->Password   = "password";        // SMTP account password example

// Content
$mail->isHTML(true);                                  // Set email format to HTML
$mail->Subject = 'Here is the subject';
$mail->Body    = 'This is the HTML message body <b>in bold!</b>';
$mail->AltBody = 'This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients';

$mail->send();

Elasticsearch query to return all records

I think lucene syntax is supported so:

http://localhost:9200/foo/_search?pretty=true&q=*:*

size defaults to 10, so you may also need &size=BIGNUMBER to get more than 10 items. (where BIGNUMBER equals a number you believe is bigger than your dataset)

BUT, elasticsearch documentation suggests for large result sets, using the scan search type.

EG:

curl -XGET 'localhost:9200/foo/_search?search_type=scan&scroll=10m&size=50' -d '
{
    "query" : {
        "match_all" : {}
    }
}'

and then keep requesting as per the documentation link above suggests.

EDIT: scan Deprecated in 2.1.0.

scan does not provide any benefits over a regular scroll request sorted by _doc. link to elastic docs (spotted by @christophe-roussy)

Is #pragma once a safe include guard?

Using #pragma once should work on any modern compiler, but I don't see any reason not to use a standard #ifndef include guard. It works just fine. The one caveat is that GCC didn't support #pragma once before version 3.4.

I also found that, at least on GCC, it recognizes the standard #ifndef include guard and optimizes it, so it shouldn't be much slower than #pragma once.

ctypes - Beginner

Firstly: The >>> code you see in python examples is a way to indicate that it is Python code. It's used to separate Python code from output. Like this:

>>> 4+5
9

Here we see that the line that starts with >>> is the Python code, and 9 is what it results in. This is exactly how it looks if you start a Python interpreter, which is why it's done like that.

You never enter the >>> part into a .py file.

That takes care of your syntax error.

Secondly, ctypes is just one of several ways of wrapping Python libraries. Other ways are SWIG, which will look at your Python library and generate a Python C extension module that exposes the C API. Another way is to use Cython.

They all have benefits and drawbacks.

SWIG will only expose your C API to Python. That means you don't get any objects or anything, you'll have to make a separate Python file doing that. It is however common to have a module called say "wowza" and a SWIG module called "_wowza" that is the wrapper around the C API. This is a nice and easy way of doing things.

Cython generates a C-Extension file. It has the benefit that all of the Python code you write is made into C, so the objects you write are also in C, which can be a performance improvement. But you'll have to learn how it interfaces with C so it's a little bit extra work to learn how to use it.

ctypes have the benefit that there is no C-code to compile, so it's very nice to use for wrapping standard libraries written by someone else, and already exists in binary versions for Windows and OS X.

Android requires compiler compliance level 5.0 or 6.0. Found '1.7' instead. Please use Android Tools > Fix Project Properties

I would recommend using x86 version of jvm. When I first got my new laptop (x64), I wanted to go x64 all the way (jvm, jdk, jre, eclipse, etc..). But once I finished setting everything up I realized that the Android SDK wasn't x64, so I had issues. Go back to x86 jvm and you should be ok.

EDIT: 11/14/13

I've seen some recent activity and figured I would elaborate a little more.

I did not say it would not work with x64, I just recommended using x86.

Here is a good post on the advantages / disadvantages of x64 JDK. Benefits of 64bit Java platform

Thought process: To what end? Why am I trying to using 64 bit JDK? Just because I have a 64-bit OS? Do I need any of the features of 64-bit JDK? Are there any extra features in the 64-bit JDK?! Why won't this s*** play nice together!? F*** it I'm going 32-bit.

Form inline inside a form horizontal in twitter bootstrap?

For bootstrap 3 example above works but is overcomplicated, rather than using form-group use form-inline for the fields you want inline.

Eg:

<div class="form-group">
     <label>CVV</label>
     <input type="text" size="4" class="form-control" />
</div>

<div class="form-inline">
      <label>Expiration (MM/YYYY)</label><br>
      <input type="text" size="2" class="form-control" /> / <input type="text" size="4" class="form-control" />
</div>

Handling a timeout error in python sockets

I had enough success just catchig socket.timeout and socket.error; although socket.error can be raised for lots of reasons. Be careful.

    sock = socket.create_connection((hostname, port), timeout=3)

except socket.timeout as err:
    logging.error(err)

except socket.error as err:

php refresh current page?

Wpf control size to content?

I had a problem like this whereby I had specified the width of my Window, but had the height set to Auto. The child DockPanel had it's VerticalAlignment set to Top and the Window had it's VerticalContentAlignment set to Top, yet the Window would still be much taller than the contents.

Using Snoop, I discovered that the ContentPresenter within the Window (part of the Window, not something I had put there) has it's VerticalAlignment set to Stretch and can't be changed without retemplating the entire Window!

After a lot of frustration, I discovered the SizeToContent property - you can use this to specify whether you want the Window to size vertically, horizontally or both, according to the size of the contents - everything is sizing nicely now, I just can't believe it took me so long to find that property!

AttributeError: 'numpy.ndarray' object has no attribute 'append'

I got this error after change a loop in my program, let`s see:

for ...
  for ... 
     x_batch.append(one_hot(int_word, vocab_size))
     y_batch.append(one_hot(int_nb, vocab_size, value))
  ...
  ...
  if ...
        x_batch = np.asarray(x_batch)
        y_batch = np.asarray(y_batch)
...

In fact, I was reusing the variable and forgot to reset them inside the external loop, like the comment of John Lyon:

for ...
  x_batch = []
  y_batch = []
  for ... 
     x_batch.append(one_hot(int_word, vocab_size))
     y_batch.append(one_hot(int_nb, vocab_size, value))
  ...
  ...
  if ...
        x_batch = np.asarray(x_batch)
        y_batch = np.asarray(y_batch)
...

Then, check if you are using np.asarray() or something like that.

Public class is inaccessible due to its protection level

You could go into the designer of the web form and change the "webcontrols" to be "public" instead of "protected" but I'm not sure how safe that is. I prefer to make hidden inputs and have some jQuery set the values into those hidden inputs, then create public properties in the web form's class (code behind), and access the values that way.

Remove all of x axis labels in ggplot

You have to set to element_blank() in theme() elements you need to remove

        axis.text.x=element_blank(),
        axis.ticks.x=element_blank())

How do I remove the old history from a git repository?

There are too many answers here which are not current and some don't fully explain the consequences. Here's what worked for me for trimming down the history using latest git 2.26:

First create a dummy commit. This commit will appear as the first commit in your truncated repo. You need this because this commit will hold all base files for the history you are keeping. The SHA is the ID of the previous commit of the commit you want to keep (in this example, 8365366). The string 'Initial' will show up as commit message of the first commit. If you are using Windows, type below command from Git Bash command prompt.

# 8365366 is id of parent commit after which you want to preserve history
echo 'Initial' | git commit-tree 8365366^{tree}

Above command will print SHA, for example, d10f7503bc1ec9d367da15b540887730db862023.

Now just type:

# d10f750 is commit ID from previous command
git rebase --onto d10f750 8365366

This will first put all files as-of commit 8365366 in to the dummy commit d10f750. Then it will play back all commits after 8365366 over the top of d10f750. Finally master branch pointer will be updated to last commit played back.

Now if you want to push these truncated repo, just do git push -f.

Few things to keep in mind (these applies to other methods as well as this one): Tags are not transferred. While commit IDs and timestamps are preserved, you will see GitHub show these commits in lumpsum heading like Commits on XY date.

Fortunately it is possible to keep truncated history as "archive" and later you can join back trimmed repo with archive repo. For doing this, see this guide.

How to create a foreign key in phpmyadmin

When you create table than you can give like follows.

CREATE TABLE categories(
cat_id int not null auto_increment primary key,
cat_name varchar(255) not null,
cat_description text
) ENGINE=InnoDB;


CREATE TABLE products(
   prd_id int not null auto_increment primary key,
   prd_name varchar(355) not null,
   prd_price decimal,
   cat_id int not null,
   FOREIGN KEY fk_cat(cat_id)
   REFERENCES categories(cat_id)
   ON UPDATE CASCADE
   ON DELETE RESTRICT
)ENGINE=InnoDB;

and when after the table create like this

   ALTER table_name
    ADD CONSTRAINT constraint_name
    FOREIGN KEY foreign_key_name(columns)
    REFERENCES parent_table(columns)
    ON DELETE action
    ON UPDATE action;

Following on example for it.

CREATE TABLE vendors(
    vdr_id int not null auto_increment primary key,
    vdr_name varchar(255)
)ENGINE=InnoDB;

ALTER TABLE products 
ADD COLUMN vdr_id int not null AFTER cat_id;

To add a foreign key to the products table, you use the following statement:

ALTER TABLE products
ADD FOREIGN KEY fk_vendor(vdr_id)
REFERENCES vendors(vdr_id)
ON DELETE NO ACTION
ON UPDATE CASCADE;

For drop the key

ALTER TABLE table_name 
DROP FOREIGN KEY constraint_name;

Hope this help to learn FOREIGN keys works

Non-numeric Argument to Binary Operator Error in R

Because your question is phrased regarding your error message and not whatever your function is trying to accomplish, I will address the error.

- is the 'binary operator' your error is referencing, and either CurrentDay or MA (or both) are non-numeric.

A binary operation is a calculation that takes two values (operands) and produces another value (see wikipedia for more). + is one such operator: "1 + 1" takes two operands (1 and 1) and produces another value (2). Note that the produced value isn't necessarily different from the operands (e.g., 1 + 0 = 1).

R only knows how to apply + (and other binary operators, such as -) to numeric arguments:

> 1 + 1
[1] 2
> 1 + 'one'
Error in 1 + "one" : non-numeric argument to binary operator

When you see that error message, it means that you are (or the function you're calling is) trying to perform a binary operation with something that isn't a number.

EDIT:

Your error lies in the use of [ instead of [[. Because Day is a list, subsetting with [ will return a list, not a numeric vector. [[, however, returns an object of the class of the item contained in the list:

> Day <- Transaction(1, 2)["b"]
> class(Day)
[1] "list"
> Day + 1
Error in Day + 1 : non-numeric argument to binary operator

> Day2 <- Transaction(1, 2)[["b"]]
> class(Day2)
[1] "numeric"
> Day2 + 1
[1] 3

Transaction, as you've defined it, returns a list of two vectors. Above, Day is a list contain one vector. Day2, however, is simply a vector.

How to change the style of a DatePicker in android?

Create custom DatePickerDialog style:

<style name="AppTheme.DatePickerDialog" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.Dialog">
    <item name="android:colorAccent">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="android:colorControlActivated">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
    <item name="android:buttonBarPositiveButtonStyle">@style/AppTheme.Alert.Button.Positive</item>
    <item name="android:buttonBarNegativeButtonStyle">@style/AppTheme.Alert.Button.Negative</item>
    <item name="android:buttonBarNeutralButtonStyle">@style/AppTheme.Alert.Button.Neutral</item>
</style>

<style name="AppTheme.Alert.Button.Positive" parent="Widget.MaterialComponents.Button.TextButton">
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/buttonPositive</item>
</style>

<style name="AppTheme.Alert.Button.Negative" parent="Widget.MaterialComponents.Button.TextButton">
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/buttonNegative</item>
</style>

<style name="AppTheme.Alert.Button.Neutral" parent="Widget.MaterialComponents.Button.TextButton">
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/buttonNeutral</item>
</style>

Set custom datePickerDialogTheme style in app theme:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.NoActionBar">
    <item name="android:datePickerDialogTheme">@style/AppTheme.DatePickerDialog</item>
</style>

Set theme programmatically on initialization like this:

val datetime = DatePickerDialog(this, R.style.AppTheme_DatePickerDialog)

Run exe file with parameters in a batch file

This should work:

start "" "c:\program files\php\php.exe" D:\mydocs\mp\index.php param1 param2

The start command interprets the first argument as a window title if it contains spaces. In this case, that means start considers your whole argument a title and sees no command. Passing "" (an empty title) as the first argument to start fixes the problem.

Why would someone use WHERE 1=1 AND <conditions> in a SQL clause?

Just adding a example code to Greg's answer:

dim sqlstmt as new StringBuilder
sqlstmt.add("SELECT * FROM Products")
sqlstmt.add(" WHERE 1=1") 

''// From now on you don't have to worry if you must 
''// append AND or WHERE because you know the WHERE is there
If ProductCategoryID <> 0 then
  sqlstmt.AppendFormat(" AND ProductCategoryID = {0}", trim(ProductCategoryID))
end if
If MinimunPrice > 0 then
  sqlstmt.AppendFormat(" AND Price >= {0}", trim(MinimunPrice))
end if

Changing upload_max_filesize on PHP

You can't use shorthand notation to set configuration values outside of PHP.ini. I assume it's falling back to 2MB as the compiled default when confronted with a bad value.

On the other hand, I don't think upload_max_filesize could be set using ini_set(). The "official" list states that it is PHP_INI_PERDIR .

Unordered List (<ul>) default indent

I found the following removed the indent and the margin from both the left AND right sides, but allowed the bullets to remain left-justified below the text above it. Add this to your css file:

ul.noindent {
    margin-left: 5px;
    margin-right: 0px;
    padding-left: 10px;
    padding-right: 0px;
}

To use it in your html file add class="noindent" to the UL tag. I've tested w/FF 14 and IE 9.

I have no idea why browsers default to the indents, but I haven't really had a reason for changing them that often.

How to copy multiple files in one layer using a Dockerfile?

COPY <all> <the> <things> <last-arg-is-destination>

But here is an important excerpt from the docs:

If you have multiple Dockerfile steps that use different files from your context, COPY them individually, rather than all at once. This ensures that each step’s build cache is only invalidated (forcing the step to be re-run) if the specifically required files change.

https://docs.docker.com/develop/develop-images/dockerfile_best-practices/#add-or-copy

How do I decode a base64 encoded string?

Java Regex Capturing Groups

The issue you're having is with the type of quantifier. You're using a greedy quantifier in your first group (index 1 - index 0 represents the whole Pattern), which means it'll match as much as it can (and since it's any character, it'll match as many characters as there are in order to fulfill the condition for the next groups).

In short, your 1st group .* matches anything as long as the next group \\d+ can match something (in this case, the last digit).

As per the 3rd group, it will match anything after the last digit.

If you change it to a reluctant quantifier in your 1st group, you'll get the result I suppose you are expecting, that is, the 3000 part.

Note the question mark in the 1st group.

String line = "This order was placed for QT3000! OK?";
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("(.*?)(\\d+)(.*)");
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(line);
while (matcher.find()) {
    System.out.println("group 1: " + matcher.group(1));
    System.out.println("group 2: " + matcher.group(2));
    System.out.println("group 3: " + matcher.group(3));
}

Output:

group 1: This order was placed for QT
group 2: 3000
group 3: ! OK?

More info on Java Pattern here.

Finally, the capturing groups are delimited by round brackets, and provide a very useful way to use back-references (amongst other things), once your Pattern is matched to the input.

In Java 6 groups can only be referenced by their order (beware of nested groups and the subtlety of ordering).

In Java 7 it's much easier, as you can use named groups.

Get variable from PHP to JavaScript

It depends on what type of PHP variable you want to use in Javascript. For example, entire PHP objects with class methods cannot be used in Javascript. You can, however, use the built-in PHP JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) functions to convert simple PHP variables into JSON representations. For more information, please read the following links:

You can generate the JSON representation of your PHP variable and then print it into your Javascript code when the page loads. For example:

<script type="text/javascript">
  var foo = <?php echo json_encode($bar); ?>;
</script>

How to embed images in html email

PHPMailer has the ability to automatically embed images from your HTML email. You have to give full path in the file system, when writing your HTML:

<img src="/var/www/host/images/photo.png" alt="my photo" />

It will automaticaly convert to:

<img src="cid:photo.png" alt="my photo" />

Can't ping a local VM from the host

I had a similar issue. You won't be able to ping the VM's from external devices if using NAT setting from within VMware's networking options. I switched to bridged connection so that the guest virtual machine will get it's own IP address and and then I added a second adapter set to NAT for the guest to get to the Internet.

Oracle insert if not exists statement

Another approach would be to leverage the INSERT ALL syntax from oracle,

INSERT ALL 
    INTO table1(email, campaign_id) VALUES (email, campaign_id)
WITH source_data AS
 (SELECT '[email protected]' email,100 campaign_id
  FROM   dual
  UNION ALL
  SELECT '[email protected]' email,200 campaign_id
  FROM   dual)      
SELECT email
      ,campaign_id
FROM   source_data src
WHERE  NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1
        FROM   table1 dest
        WHERE  src.email = dest.email
        AND    src.campaign_id = dest.campaign_id);

INSERT ALL also allow us to perform a conditional insert into multiple tables based on a sub query as source.

There are some really clean and nice examples are there to refer.

VBA Excel - Insert row below with same format including borders and frames

well, using the Macro record, and doing it manually, I ended up with this code .. which seems to work .. (although it's not a one liner like yours ;)

lrow = Selection.Row()
Rows(lrow).Select
Selection.Copy
Rows(lrow + 1).Select
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlDown
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Selection.ClearContents

(I put the ClearContents in there because you indicated you wanted format, and I'm assuming you didn't want the data ;) )

Choosing line type and color in Gnuplot 4.0

I know the question is old but I found this very helpful http://www.gnuplot.info/demo_canvas/dashcolor.html . So you can choose linetype and linecolor separately but you have to precede everything by "set termoption dash" (worked for me in gnuplot 4.4).

How can I use the $index inside a ng-repeat to enable a class and show a DIV?

The issue here is that ng-repeat creates its own scope, so when you do selected=$index it creates a new a selected property in that scope rather than altering the existing one. To fix this you have two options:

Change the selected property to a non-primitive (ie object or array, which makes javascript look up the prototype chain) then set a value on that:

$scope.selected = {value: 0};

<a ng-click="selected.value = $index">A{{$index}}</a>

See plunker

or

Use the $parent variable to access the correct property. Though less recommended as it increases coupling between scopes

<a ng-click="$parent.selected = $index">A{{$index}}</a>

See plunker

Storing money in a decimal column - what precision and scale?

If you are looking for a one-size-fits-all, I'd suggest DECIMAL(19, 4) is a popular choice (a quick Google bears this out). I think this originates from the old VBA/Access/Jet Currency data type, being the first fixed point decimal type in the language; Decimal only came in 'version 1.0' style (i.e. not fully implemented) in VB6/VBA6/Jet 4.0.

The rule of thumb for storage of fixed point decimal values is to store at least one more decimal place than you actually require to allow for rounding. One of the reasons for mapping the old Currency type in the front end to DECIMAL(19, 4) type in the back end was that Currency exhibited bankers' rounding by nature, whereas DECIMAL(p, s) rounded by truncation.

An extra decimal place in storage for DECIMAL allows a custom rounding algorithm to be implemented rather than taking the vendor's default (and bankers' rounding is alarming, to say the least, for a designer expecting all values ending in .5 to round away from zero).

Yes, DECIMAL(24, 8) sounds like overkill to me. Most currencies are quoted to four or five decimal places. I know of situations where a decimal scale of 8 (or more) is required but this is where a 'normal' monetary amount (say four decimal places) has been pro rata'd, implying the decimal precision should be reduced accordingly (also consider a floating point type in such circumstances). And no one has that much money nowadays to require a decimal precision of 24 :)

However, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, some research may be in order. Ask your designer or domain expert about accounting rules which may be applicable: GAAP, EU, etc. I vaguely recall some EU intra-state transfers with explicit rules for rounding to five decimal places, therefore using DECIMAL(p, 6) for storage. Accountants generally seem to favour four decimal places.


PS Avoid SQL Server's MONEY data type because it has serious issues with accuracy when rounding, among other considerations such as portability etc. See Aaron Bertrand's blog.


Microsoft and language designers chose banker's rounding because hardware designers chose it [citation?]. It is enshrined in the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standards, for example. And hardware designers chose it because mathematicians prefer it. See Wikipedia; to paraphrase: The 1906 edition of Probability and Theory of Errors called this 'the computer's rule' ("computers" meaning humans who perform computations).

AngularJS ng-class if-else expression

The above solutions didn't work for me for classes with background images somehow. What I did was I create a default class (the one you need in else) and set class='defaultClass' and then the ng-class="{class1:abc,class2:xyz}"

<span class="booking_warning" ng-class="{ process_success: booking.bookingStatus == 'BOOKING_COMPLETED' || booking.bookingStatus == 'BOOKING_PROCESSED', booking_info: booking.bookingStatus == 'INSTANT_BOOKING_REQUEST_RECEIVED' || booking.bookingStatus == 'BOOKING_PENDING'}"> <strong>{{booking.bookingStatus}}</strong> </span>

P.S: The classes that are in condition should override the default class i.e marked as !important

Using array map to filter results with if conditional

You could use flatMap. It can filter and map in one.

$scope.appIds = $scope.applicationsHere.flatMap(obj => obj.selected ? obj.id : [])

Use of PUT vs PATCH methods in REST API real life scenarios

Though Dan Lowe's excellent answer very thoroughly answered the OP's question about the difference between PUT and PATCH, its answer to the question of why PATCH is not idempotent is not quite correct.

To show why PATCH isn't idempotent, it helps to start with the definition of idempotence (from Wikipedia):

The term idempotent is used more comprehensively to describe an operation that will produce the same results if executed once or multiple times [...] An idempotent function is one that has the property f(f(x)) = f(x) for any value x.

In more accessible language, an idempotent PATCH could be defined as: After PATCHing a resource with a patch document, all subsequent PATCH calls to the same resource with the same patch document will not change the resource.

Conversely, a non-idempotent operation is one where f(f(x)) != f(x), which for PATCH could be stated as: After PATCHing a resource with a patch document, subsequent PATCH calls to the same resource with the same patch document do change the resource.

To illustrate a non-idempotent PATCH, suppose there is a /users resource, and suppose that calling GET /users returns a list of users, currently:

[{ "id": 1, "username": "firstuser", "email": "[email protected]" }]

Rather than PATCHing /users/{id}, as in the OP's example, suppose the server allows PATCHing /users. Let's issue this PATCH request:

PATCH /users
[{ "op": "add", "username": "newuser", "email": "[email protected]" }]

Our patch document instructs the server to add a new user called newuser to the list of users. After calling this the first time, GET /users would return:

[{ "id": 1, "username": "firstuser", "email": "[email protected]" },
 { "id": 2, "username": "newuser", "email": "[email protected]" }]

Now, if we issue the exact same PATCH request as above, what happens? (For the sake of this example, let's assume that the /users resource allows duplicate usernames.) The "op" is "add", so a new user is added to the list, and a subsequent GET /users returns:

[{ "id": 1, "username": "firstuser", "email": "[email protected]" },
 { "id": 2, "username": "newuser", "email": "[email protected]" },
 { "id": 3, "username": "newuser", "email": "[email protected]" }]

The /users resource has changed again, even though we issued the exact same PATCH against the exact same endpoint. If our PATCH is f(x), f(f(x)) is not the same as f(x), and therefore, this particular PATCH is not idempotent.

Although PATCH isn't guaranteed to be idempotent, there's nothing in the PATCH specification to prevent you from making all PATCH operations on your particular server idempotent. RFC 5789 even anticipates advantages from idempotent PATCH requests:

A PATCH request can be issued in such a way as to be idempotent, which also helps prevent bad outcomes from collisions between two PATCH requests on the same resource in a similar time frame.

In Dan's example, his PATCH operation is, in fact, idempotent. In that example, the /users/1 entity changed between our PATCH requests, but not because of our PATCH requests; it was actually the Post Office's different patch document that caused the zip code to change. The Post Office's different PATCH is a different operation; if our PATCH is f(x), the Post Office's PATCH is g(x). Idempotence states that f(f(f(x))) = f(x), but makes no guarantes about f(g(f(x))).

Neither user 10102 nor current process has android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE

On Android >=6.0, We have to request permission runtime.

Step1: add in AndroidManifest.xml file

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

Step2: Request permission.

int permissionCheck = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE);

if (permissionCheck != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
    ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE}, REQUEST_READ_PHONE_STATE);
} else {
    //TODO
}

Step3: Handle callback when you request permission.

@Override
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String permissions[], int[] grantResults) {
    switch (requestCode) {
        case REQUEST_READ_PHONE_STATE:
            if ((grantResults.length > 0) && (grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED)) {
                //TODO
            }
            break;

        default:
            break;
    }
}

Entity framework code-first null foreign key

I recommend to read Microsoft guide for use Relationships, Navigation Properties and Foreign Keys in EF Code First, like this picture.

enter image description here

Guide link below:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-gb/ef/ef6/fundamentals/relationships?redirectedfrom=MSDN

The model item passed into the dictionary is of type .. but this dictionary requires a model item of type

The error means that you're navigating to a view whose model is declared as typeof Foo (by using @model Foo), but you actually passed it a model which is typeof Bar (note the term dictionary is used because a model is passed to the view via a ViewDataDictionary).

The error can be caused by

Passing the wrong model from a controller method to a view (or partial view)

Common examples include using a query that creates an anonymous object (or collection of anonymous objects) and passing it to the view

var model = db.Foos.Select(x => new
{
    ID = x.ID,
    Name = x.Name
};
return View(model); // passes an anonymous object to a view declared with @model Foo

or passing a collection of objects to a view that expect a single object

var model = db.Foos.Where(x => x.ID == id);
return View(model); // passes IEnumerable<Foo> to a view declared with @model Foo

The error can be easily identified at compile time by explicitly declaring the model type in the controller to match the model in the view rather than using var.

Passing the wrong model from a view to a partial view

Given the following model

public class Foo
{
    public Bar MyBar { get; set; }
}

and a main view declared with @model Foo and a partial view declared with @model Bar, then

Foo model = db.Foos.Where(x => x.ID == id).Include(x => x.Bar).FirstOrDefault();
return View(model);

will return the correct model to the main view. However the exception will be thrown if the view includes

@Html.Partial("_Bar") // or @{ Html.RenderPartial("_Bar"); }

By default, the model passed to the partial view is the model declared in the main view and you need to use

@Html.Partial("_Bar", Model.MyBar) // or @{ Html.RenderPartial("_Bar", Model.MyBar); }

to pass the instance of Bar to the partial view. Note also that if the value of MyBar is null (has not been initialized), then by default Foo will be passed to the partial, in which case, it needs to be

@Html.Partial("_Bar", new Bar())

Declaring a model in a layout

If a layout file includes a model declaration, then all views that use that layout must declare the same model, or a model that derives from that model.

If you want to include the html for a separate model in a Layout, then in the Layout, use @Html.Action(...) to call a [ChildActionOnly] method initializes that model and returns a partial view for it.

clear form values after submission ajax

use this:

$('form.contactForm input[type="text"],texatrea, select').val('');

or if you have a reference to the form with this:

$('input[type="text"],texatrea, select', this).val('');

:input === <input> + <select>s + <textarea>s

How do I cast a JSON Object to a TypeScript class?

TLDR: One liner

// This assumes your constructor method will assign properties from the arg.
.map((instanceData: MyClass) => new MyClass(instanceData));

The Detailed Answer

I would not recommend the Object.assign approach, as it can inappropriately litter your class instance with irrelevant properties (as well as defined closures) that were not declared within the class itself.

In the class you are trying to deserialize into, I would ensure any properties you want deserialized are defined (null, empty array, etc). By defining your properties with initial values you expose their visibility when trying to iterate class members to assign values to (see deserialize method below).

export class Person {
  public name: string = null;
  public favoriteSites: string[] = [];

  private age: number = null;
  private id: number = null;
  private active: boolean;

  constructor(instanceData?: Person) {
    if (instanceData) {
      this.deserialize(instanceData);
    }
  }

  private deserialize(instanceData: Person) {
    // Note this.active will not be listed in keys since it's declared, but not defined
    const keys = Object.keys(this);

    for (const key of keys) {
      if (instanceData.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
        this[key] = instanceData[key];
      }
    }
  }
}

In the example above, I simply created a deserialize method. In a real world example, I would have it centralized in a reusable base class or service method.

Here is how to utilize this in something like an http resp...

this.http.get(ENDPOINT_URL)
  .map(res => res.json())
  .map((resp: Person) => new Person(resp) ) );

If tslint/ide complains about argument type being incompatible, just cast the argument into the same type using angular brackets <YourClassName>, example:

const person = new Person(<Person> { name: 'John', age: 35, id: 1 });

If you have class members that are of a specific type (aka: instance of another class), then you can have them casted into typed instances through getter/setter methods.

export class Person {
  private _acct: UserAcct = null;
  private _tasks: Task[] = [];

  // ctor & deserialize methods...

  public get acct(): UserAcct {
    return this.acct;
  }
  public set acct(acctData: UserAcct) {
    this._acct = new UserAcct(acctData);
  }

  public get tasks(): Task[] {
    return this._tasks;
  }

  public set tasks(taskData: Task[]) {
    this._tasks = taskData.map(task => new Task(task));
  }
}

The above example will deserialize both acct and the list of tasks into their respective class instances.

How can I find the number of years between two dates?

Try this:

int getYear(Date date1,Date date2){ 
      SimpleDateFormat simpleDateformat=new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy");
      Integer.parseInt(simpleDateformat.format(date1));

      return Integer.parseInt(simpleDateformat.format(date2))- Integer.parseInt(simpleDateformat.format(date1));

    }

Check if Nullable Guid is empty in c#

SomeProperty.HasValue I think it's what you're looking for.

EDIT : btw, you can write System.Guid? instead of Nullable<System.Guid> ;)

Sending GET request with Authentication headers using restTemplate

A simple solution would be to configure static http headers needed for all calls in the bean configuration of the RestTemplate:

@Configuration
public class RestTemplateConfig {

    @Bean
    public RestTemplate getRestTemplate(@Value("${did-service.bearer-token}") String bearerToken) {
        RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
        restTemplate.getInterceptors().add((request, body, clientHttpRequestExecution) -> {
            HttpHeaders headers = request.getHeaders();
            if (!headers.containsKey("Authorization")) {
                String token = bearerToken.toLowerCase().startsWith("bearer") ? bearerToken : "Bearer " + bearerToken;
                request.getHeaders().add("Authorization", token);
            }
            return clientHttpRequestExecution.execute(request, body);
        });
        return restTemplate;
    }
}

Make a div fill the height of the remaining screen space

There really isn't a sound, cross-browser way to do this in CSS. Assuming your layout has complexities, you need to use JavaScript to set the element's height. The essence of what you need to do is:

Element Height = Viewport height - element.offset.top - desired bottom margin

Once you can get this value and set the element's height, you need to attach event handlers to both the window onload and onresize so that you can fire your resize function.

Also, assuming your content could be larger than the viewport, you will need to set overflow-y to scroll.

Print a variable in hexadecimal in Python

You can try something like this I guess:

new_str = ""
str_value = "rojbasr"
for i in str_value:
    new_str += "0x%s " % (i.encode('hex'))
print new_str

Your output would be something like this:

0x72 0x6f 0x6a 0x62 0x61 0x73 0x72

Replace only text inside a div using jquery

If you actually know the text you are going to replace you could use

$('#one').contents(':contains("Hi I am text")')[0].nodeValue = '"Hi I am replace"';

http://jsfiddle.net/5rWwh/

Or

$('#one').contents(':not(*)')[1].nodeValue = '"Hi I am replace"';

$('#one').contents(':not(*)') selects non-element child nodes in this case text nodes and the second node is the one we want to replace.

How do I install soap extension?

I had the same problem, there was no extension=php_soap.dll in my php.ini But this was because I had copied the php.ini from a old and previous php version (not a good idea). I found the dll in the ext directory so I just could put it myself into the php.ini extension=php_soap.dll After Apache restart all worked with soap :)

How to cut an entire line in vim and paste it?

There are several ways to cut a line, all controlled by the d key in normal mode. If you are using visual mode (the v key) you can just hit the d key once you have highlighted the region you want to cut. Move to the location you would like to paste and hit the p key to paste.

It's also worth mentioning that you can copy/cut/paste from registers. Suppose you aren't sure when or where you want to paste the text. You could save the text to up to 24 registers identified by an alphabetical letter. Just prepend your command with ' (single quote) and the register letter (a thru z). For instance you could use the visual mode (v key) to select some text and then type 'ad to cut the text and store it in register 'a'. Once you navigate to the location where you want to paste the text you would type 'ap to paste the contents of register a.

Most efficient way to map function over numpy array

I've tested all suggested methods plus np.array(map(f, x)) with perfplot (a small project of mine).

Message #1: If you can use numpy's native functions, do that.

If the function you're trying to vectorize already is vectorized (like the x**2 example in the original post), using that is much faster than anything else (note the log scale):

enter image description here

If you actually need vectorization, it doesn't really matter much which variant you use.

enter image description here


Code to reproduce the plots:

import numpy as np
import perfplot
import math


def f(x):
    # return math.sqrt(x)
    return np.sqrt(x)


vf = np.vectorize(f)


def array_for(x):
    return np.array([f(xi) for xi in x])


def array_map(x):
    return np.array(list(map(f, x)))


def fromiter(x):
    return np.fromiter((f(xi) for xi in x), x.dtype)


def vectorize(x):
    return np.vectorize(f)(x)


def vectorize_without_init(x):
    return vf(x)


perfplot.show(
    setup=np.random.rand,
    n_range=[2 ** k for k in range(20)],
    kernels=[f, array_for, array_map, fromiter, vectorize, vectorize_without_init],
    xlabel="len(x)",
)

How to loop through a dataset in powershell?

Here's a practical example (build a dataset from your current location):

$ds = new-object System.Data.DataSet
$ds.Tables.Add("tblTest")
[void]$ds.Tables["tblTest"].Columns.Add("Name",[string])
[void]$ds.Tables["tblTest"].Columns.Add("Path",[string])

dir | foreach {
    $dr = $ds.Tables["tblTest"].NewRow()
    $dr["Name"] = $_.name
    $dr["Path"] = $_.fullname
    $ds.Tables["tblTest"].Rows.Add($dr)
}


$ds.Tables["tblTest"]

$ds.Tables["tblTest"] is an object that you can manipulate just like any other Powershell object:

$ds.Tables["tblTest"] | foreach {
    write-host 'Name value is : $_.name
    write-host 'Path value is : $_.path
}

Which MySQL datatype to use for an IP address?

You have two possibilities (for an IPv4 address) :

  • a varchar(15), if your want to store the IP address as a string
    • 192.128.0.15 for instance
  • an integer (4 bytes), if you convert the IP address to an integer
    • 3229614095 for the IP I used before


The second solution will require less space in the database, and is probably a better choice, even if it implies a bit of manipulations when storing and retrieving the data (converting it from/to a string).

About those manipulations, see the ip2long() and long2ip() functions, on the PHP-side, or inet_aton() and inet_ntoa() on the MySQL-side.

Can't type in React input text field

Once I ran into a similar error. Let me describe it.

Edit.js

   // components returns edit form 
   
   function EditVideo({id}) {
   .....
   
   // onChange event listener 
    const handleChange = (e) => {
       setTextData({
           ...textData,
           [e.target.name]: e.target.value.trim()
        });
     }
  
   ....
   ...
   }
)

ImportEdit.js

   import Edit from './Edit';
   
    function ImportEdit() {
    ......
     ...
    return (
        <div>
            <EditVideo id={id}/>
        </div>
       )
    }

    export default ImportEdit

The Problem was: I was unable to use spacebar (i.e. if i press spacekey, i didn't see space input)

The Bug: .trim()

.trim() method was trimming all the white space i typed

Note: Edit.js worked fine when used sepeartely without import

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

I would end it with NULL. Why? Because you can't do either of these:

array[index] == '\0'
array[index] == "\0"

The first one is comparing a char * to a char, which is not what you want. You would have to do this:

array[index][0] == '\0'

The second one doesn't even work. You're comparing a char * to a char *, yes, but this comparison is meaningless. It passes if the two pointers point to the same piece of memory. You can't use == to compare two strings, you have to use the strcmp() function, because C has no built-in support for strings outside of a few (and I mean few) syntactic niceties. Whereas the following:

array[index] == NULL

Works just fine and conveys your point.

Get User Selected Range

This depends on what you mean by "get the range of selection". If you mean getting the range address (like "A1:B1") then use the Address property of Selection object - as Michael stated Selection object is much like a Range object, so most properties and methods works on it.

Sub test()
    Dim myString As String
    myString = Selection.Address
End Sub

How to convert OutputStream to InputStream?

An OutputStream is one where you write data to. If some module exposes an OutputStream, the expectation is that there is something reading at the other end.

Something that exposes an InputStream, on the other hand, is indicating that you will need to listen to this stream, and there will be data that you can read.

So it is possible to connect an InputStream to an OutputStream

InputStream----read---> intermediateBytes[n] ----write----> OutputStream

As someone metioned, this is what the copy() method from IOUtils lets you do. It does not make sense to go the other way... hopefully this makes some sense

UPDATE:

Of course the more I think of this, the more I can see how this actually would be a requirement. I know some of the comments mentioned Piped input/ouput streams, but there is another possibility.

If the output stream that is exposed is a ByteArrayOutputStream, then you can always get the full contents by calling the toByteArray() method. Then you can create an input stream wrapper by using the ByteArrayInputStream sub-class. These two are pseudo-streams, they both basically just wrap an array of bytes. Using the streams this way, therefore, is technically possible, but to me it is still very strange...

Preferred method to store PHP arrays (json_encode vs serialize)

JSON is better if you want to backup Data and restore it on a different machine or via FTP.

For example with serialize if you store data on a Windows server, download it via FTP and restore it on a Linux one it could not work any more due to the charachter re-encoding, because serialize stores the length of the strings and in the Unicode > UTF-8 transcoding some 1 byte charachter could became 2 bytes long making the algorithm crash.

How to customize the background/border colors of a grouped table view cell?

One thing I ran into with the above CustomCellBackgroundView code from Mike Akers which might be useful to others:

cell.backgroundView doesn't get automatically redrawn when cells are reused, and changes to the backgroundView's position var don't affect reused cells. That means long tables will have incorrectly drawn cell.backgroundViews given their positions.

To fix this without having to create a new backgroundView every time a row is displayed, call [cell.backgroundView setNeedsDisplay] at the end of your -[UITableViewController tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath:]. Or for a more reusable solution, override CustomCellBackgroundView's position setter to include a [self setNeedsDisplay].

JavaScript for handling Tab Key press

Given this piece of HTML code:

<a href='https://facebook.com/'>Facebook</a>
<a href='https://google.ca/'>Google</a>
<input type='text' placeholder='an input box'>

We can use this JavaScript:

function checkTabPress(e) {
    'use strict';
    var ele = document.activeElement;

    if (e.keyCode === 9 && ele.nodeName.toLowerCase() === 'a') {
        console.log(ele.href);
    }
}

document.addEventListener('keyup', function (e) {
    checkTabPress(e);
}, false);

I have bound an event listener to the document element for the keyUp event, which triggers a function to check if the Tab key was pressed (or technically, released).

The function checks the currently focused element and whether the NodeName is a. If so, it enters the if block and, in my case, writes the value of the href property to the JavaScript console.

Here's a jsFiddle

How to draw a checkmark / tick using CSS?

What does "var" mean in C#?

var is a "contextual keyword" in C# meaning you can only use it as a local variable implicitly in the context of the same class that you are using the variable. If you try to use it in a class that you call from "Main" or some other exterior class, or an interface for example you will get the error CS0825 < https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/misc/cs0825 >

See the remarks about when you can and can't use it in the documentation here: < https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-guide/classes-and-structs/implicitly-typed-local-variables#remarks >

Basically, you should only use this when you are declaring a variable with an implicit value such as "var myValue = "This is the value"; This saves a little time in comparison to saying "string" for example but IMHO not much time is saved and places a constraint on the scalability of your project.

How to use jquery $.post() method to submit form values

Get the value of your textboxes using val() and store them in a variable. Pass those values through $.post. In using the $.Post Submit button you can actually remove the form.

<script>

    username = $("#username").val(); 
    password = $("#password").val();

    $("#post-btn").click(function(){        
        $.post("process.php", { username:username, password:password } ,function(data){
            alert(data);
        });
    });
</script>

No Such Element Exception?

I had run into the same issue while I was dealing with large dataset. One thing I've noticed was the NoSuchElementException is thrown when the Scanner reaches the endOfFile, where it is not going to affect our data.

Here, I've placed my code in try block and catch block handles the exception. You can also leave it empty, if you don't want to perform any task.

For the above question, because you are using file.next() both in the condition and in the while loop you can handle the exception as

while(!file.next().equals(treasure)){
    try{
        file.next(); //stack trace error here
       }catch(NoSuchElementException e) {  }
}

This worked perfectly for me, if there are any corner cases for my approach, do let me know through comments.

Add back button to action bar

Add

actionBar.setHomeButtonEnabled(true);

and then add the following

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem menuItem)
{       
    switch (menuItem.getItemId()) {
        case android.R.id.home:
            onBackPressed();
            return true;
        default:
            return super.onOptionsItemSelected(menuItem);
    }
}

As suggested by naXa I've added a check on the itemId, to have it work correctly in case there are multiple buttons on the action bar.

What is the exact meaning of Git Bash?

git bash is a shell where:

See "Fix msysGit Portable $HOME location":

On a Windows 64:

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cmd.exe /c ""C:\Prog\Git\1.7.1\bin\sh.exe" --login -i"

This differs from git-cmd.bat, which provides git commands in a plain DOS command prompt.

A tool like GitHub for Windows (G4W) provides different shell for git (including a PowerShell one)


Update April 2015:

Note: the git bash in msysgit/Git for windows 1.9.5 is an old one:

GNU bash, version 3.1.20(4)-release (i686-pc-msys)
Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

But with the phasing out of msysgit (Q4 2015) and the new Git For Windows (Q2 2015), you now have Git for Windows 2.3.5.
It has a much more recent bash, based on the 64bits msys2 project, an independent rewrite of MSYS, based on modern Cygwin (POSIX compatibility layer) and MinGW-w64 with the aim of better interoperability with native Windows software. msys2 comes with its own installer too.

The git bash is now (with the new Git For Windows):

GNU bash, version 4.3.33(3)-release (x86_64-pc-msys)
Copyright (C) 2013 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Original answer (June 2013) More precisely, from msygit wiki:

Historically, Git on Windows was only officially supported using Cygwin.
To help make a native Windows version, this project was started, based on the mingw fork.

To make the milky 'soup' of project names more clear, we say like this:

  • msysGit - is the name of this project, a build environment for Git for Windows, which releases the official binaries
  • MinGW - is a minimalist development environment for native Microsoft Windows applications.
    It is really a very thin compile-time layer over the Microsoft Runtime; MinGW programs are therefore real Windows programs, with no concept of Unix-style paths or POSIX niceties such as a fork() call
  • MSYS - is a Bourne Shell command line interpreter system, is used by MinGW (and others), was forked in the past from Cygwin
  • Cygwin - a Linux like environment, which was used in the past to build Git for Windows, nowadays has no relation to msysGit

So, your two lines description about "git bash" are:

"Git bash" is a msys shell included in "Git for Windows", and is a slimmed-down version of Cygwin (an old version at that), whose only purpose is to provide enough of a POSIX layer to run a bash.


Reminder:

msysGit is the development environment to compile Git for Windows. It is complete, in the sense that you just need to install msysGit, and then you can build Git. Without installing any 3rd-party software.

msysGit is not Git for Windows; that is an installer which installs Git -- and only Git.

See more in "Difference between msysgit and Cygwin + git?".

Spring Data JPA and Exists query

Spring Data JPA 1.11 now supports the exists projection in repository query derivation.

See documentation here.

In your case the following will work:

public interface MyEntityRepository extends CrudRepository<MyEntity, String> {  
    boolean existsByFoo(String foo);
}

How to install Ruby 2.1.4 on Ubuntu 14.04

Use RVM (Ruby Version Manager) to install and manage any versions of Ruby. You can have multiple versions of Ruby installed on the machine and you can easily select the one you want.

To install RVM type into terminal:

\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable

And let it work. After that you will have RVM along with Ruby installed.

JavaFX - create custom button with image

There are a few different ways to accomplish this, I'll outline my favourites.

Use a ToggleButton and apply a custom style to it. I suggest this because your required control is "like a toggle button" but just looks different from the default toggle button styling.

My preferred method is to define a graphic for the button in css:

.toggle-button {
  -fx-graphic: url('http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/aha-soft/desktop-buffet/128/Pizza-icon.png');
}

.toggle-button:selected {
  -fx-graphic: url('http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/aha-soft/desktop-buffet/128/Piece-of-cake-icon.png');
}

OR use the attached css to define a background image.

// file imagetogglebutton.css deployed in the same package as ToggleButtonImage.class
.toggle-button {
  -fx-background-image: url('http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/aha-soft/desktop-buffet/128/Pizza-icon.png');
  -fx-background-repeat: no-repeat;
  -fx-background-position: center;
}

.toggle-button:selected {
  -fx-background-image: url('http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/aha-soft/desktop-buffet/128/Piece-of-cake-icon.png');
}

I prefer the -fx-graphic specification over the -fx-background-* specifications as the rules for styling background images are tricky and setting the background does not automatically size the button to the image, whereas setting the graphic does.

And some sample code:

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.*;
import javafx.scene.control.ToggleButton;
import javafx.scene.layout.StackPaneBuilder;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class ToggleButtonImage extends Application {
  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { launch(args); }
  @Override public void start(final Stage stage) throws Exception {
    final ToggleButton toggle = new ToggleButton();
    toggle.getStylesheets().add(this.getClass().getResource(
      "imagetogglebutton.css"
    ).toExternalForm());
    toggle.setMinSize(148, 148); toggle.setMaxSize(148, 148);
    stage.setScene(new Scene(
      StackPaneBuilder.create()
        .children(toggle)
        .style("-fx-padding:10; -fx-background-color: cornsilk;")
        .build()
    ));
    stage.show();
  }
}

Some advantages of doing this are:

  1. You get the default toggle button behavior and don't have to re-implement it yourself by adding your own focus styling, mouse and key handlers etc.
  2. If your app gets ported to different platform such as a mobile device, it will work out of the box responding to touch events rather than mouse events, etc.
  3. Your styling is separated from your application logic so it is easier to restyle your application.

An alternate is to not use css and still use a ToggleButton, but set the image graphic in code:

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.beans.binding.Bindings;
import javafx.scene.*;
import javafx.scene.control.ToggleButton;
import javafx.scene.image.*;
import javafx.scene.layout.StackPaneBuilder;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class ToggleButtonImageViaGraphic extends Application {
  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { launch(args); }
  @Override public void start(final Stage stage) throws Exception {
    final ToggleButton toggle      = new ToggleButton();
    final Image        unselected  = new Image(
      "http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/aha-soft/desktop-buffet/128/Pizza-icon.png"
    );
    final Image        selected    = new Image(
      "http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/aha-soft/desktop-buffet/128/Piece-of-cake-icon.png"
    );
    final ImageView    toggleImage = new ImageView();
    toggle.setGraphic(toggleImage);
    toggleImage.imageProperty().bind(Bindings
      .when(toggle.selectedProperty())
        .then(selected)
        .otherwise(unselected)
    );

    stage.setScene(new Scene(
      StackPaneBuilder.create()
        .children(toggle)
        .style("-fx-padding:10; -fx-background-color: cornsilk;")
        .build()
    ));
    stage.show();
  }
}

The code based approach has the advantage that you don't have to use css if you are unfamilar with it.

For best performance and ease of porting to unsigned applet and webstart sandboxes, bundle the images with your app and reference them by relative path urls rather than downloading them off the net.

Efficient way to update all rows in a table

How to set default text for a Tkinter Entry widget

Use Entry.insert. For example:

try:
    from tkinter import *  # Python 3.x
except Import Error:
    from Tkinter import *  # Python 2.x

root = Tk()
e = Entry(root)
e.insert(END, 'default text')
e.pack()
root.mainloop()

Or use textvariable option:

try:
    from tkinter import *  # Python 3.x
except Import Error:
    from Tkinter import *  # Python 2.x

root = Tk()
v = StringVar(root, value='default text')
e = Entry(root, textvariable=v)
e.pack()
root.mainloop()

    this.save()
}

Copy a git repo without history

Use the following command:

git clone --depth <depth> -b <branch> <repo_url>

Where:

  • depth is the amount of commits you want to include. i.e. if you just want the latest commit use git clone --depth 1
  • branch is the name of the remote branch that you want to clone from. i.e. if you want the last 3 commits from master branch use git clone --depth 3 -b master
  • repo_url is the url of your repository

How to use this boolean in an if statement?

if(stop == true)

or

if(stop)

= is for assignment.

== is for checking condition.

if(stop = true) 

It will assign true to stop and evaluates if(true). So it will always execute the code inside if because stop will always being assigned with true.

What is the difference between an annotated and unannotated tag?

The big difference is perfectly explained here.

Basically, lightweight tags are just pointers to specific commits. No further information is saved; on the other hand, annotated tags are regular objects, which have an author and a date and can be referred because they have their own SHA key.

If knowing who tagged what and when is relevant for you, then use annotated tags. If you just want to tag a specific point in your development, no matter who and when did that, then lightweight tags are good enough.

Normally you'd go for annotated tags, but it is really up to the Git master of the project.

How to redirect a url in NGINX

Best way to do what you want is to add another server block:

server {
        #implemented by default, change if you need different ip or port
        #listen *:80 | *:8000;
        server_name test.com;
        return 301 $scheme://www.test.com$request_uri;
}

And edit your main server block server_name variable as following:

server_name  www.test.com;

Important: New server block is the right way to do this, if is evil. You must use locations and servers instead of if if it's possible. Rewrite is sometimes evil too, so replaced it with return.

How do I determine the dependencies of a .NET application?

Another handy Reflector add-in that I use is the Dependency Structure Matrix. It's really great to see what classes use what. Plus it's free.

Java Web Service client basic authentication

It turned out that there's a simple, standard way to achieve what I wanted:

import java.net.Authenticator;
import java.net.PasswordAuthentication;

Authenticator myAuth = new Authenticator() 
{
    @Override
    protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication()
    {
        return new PasswordAuthentication("german", "german".toCharArray());
    }
};

Authenticator.setDefault(myAuth);

No custom "sun" classes or external dependencies, and no manually encode anything.

I'm aware that BASIC security is not, well, secure, but we are also using HTTPS.

Connecting an input stream to an outputstream

You can use a circular buffer :

How to check if a variable is null or empty string or all whitespace in JavaScript?

Old question, but I think it deservers a simpler answer.

You can simply do:

var addr = "  ";

if (addr && addr.trim()) {

    console.log("I'm not null, nor undefined, nor empty string, nor string composed of whitespace only.");

}

How to do while loops with multiple conditions

Have you noticed that in the code you posted, condition2 is never set to False? This way, your loop body is never executed.

Also, note that in Python, not condition is preferred to condition == False; likewise, condition is preferred to condition == True.

How to convert String to Date value in SAS?

As stated above, the simple answer is:

date = input(monyy,date9.);

with the addition of:

put date=yymmdd.;

The reason why this works, and what you did doesn't, is because of a common misunderstanding in SAS. DATE9. is an INFORMAT. In an INPUT statement, it provides the SAS interpreter with a set of translation commands it can send to the compiler to turn your text into the right numbers, which will then look like a date once the right FORMAT is applied. FORMATs are just visible representations of numbers (or characters). So by using YYMMDD., you confused the INPUT function by handing it a FORMAT instead of an INFORMAT, and probably got a helpful error that said:

Invalid argument to INPUT function at line... etc...

Which told you absolutely nothing about what to do next.

In summary, to represent your character date as a YYMMDD. In SAS you need to:

  1. change the INFORMAT - date = input(monyy,date9.);
  2. apply the FORMAT - put date=YYMMDD10.;

Is there an equivalent to background-size: cover and contain for image elements?

Try setting both min-height and min-width, with display:block:

img {
    display:block;
    min-height:100%;
    min-width:100%;
}

(fiddle)

Provided your image's containing element is position:relative or position:absolute, the image will cover the container. However, it will not be centred.

You can easily centre the image if you know whether it will overflow horizontally (set margin-left:-50%) or vertically (set margin-top:-50%). It may be possible to use CSS media queries (and some mathematics) to figure that out.

Display image at 50% of its "native" size

Maybe one of the easiest solutions would be to use the x descriptor of the srcset attribute as such:

_x000D_
_x000D_
<!-- Original image -->
<img src="https://fr.wikipedia.org/static/images/mobile/copyright/wikipedia.png" />

<!-- With a 80% size reduction (1/0.8=1.25) -->
<img srcset="https://fr.wikipedia.org/static/images/mobile/copyright/wikipedia.png 1.25x" />

<!-- With a 50% size reduction (1/0.5=2) -->
<img srcset="https://fr.wikipedia.org/static/images/mobile/copyright/wikipedia.png 2x" />
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

How to trap on UIViewAlertForUnsatisfiableConstraints?

This post helped me A LOT!

I added UIViewAlertForUnsatisfiableConstraints symbolic breakpoint with suggested action:

Python module os.chmod(file, 664) does not change the permission to rw-rw-r-- but -w--wx----

So for people who want semantics similar to:

$ chmod 755 somefile

Use:

$ python -c "import os; os.chmod('somefile', 0o755)"

If your Python is older than 2.6:

$ python -c "import os; os.chmod('somefile', 0755)"

How to change Screen buffer size in Windows Command Prompt from batch script

How about this?

ValueError: could not convert string to float: id

Perhaps your numbers aren't actually numbers, but letters masquerading as numbers?

In my case, the font I was using meant that "l" and "1" looked very similar. I had a string like 'l1919' which I thought was '11919' and that messed things up.

  • List item 3

to:

List Item 1; List Item 2; List Item 3.

How do I add a border to an image in HTML?

Jack,

You can learn a great deal about borders, and how to use them at http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_border.asp. That being said, there are a couple different ways you could accomplish this.

Below is how I generally do it, but reading the documentation on w3schools you may come upon your own desired method.

.addBorder {
  /* Thickness, Style, and Color */
  border: 1px solid #000000;
}

<img src="mypicture.jpg" alt="My Picture" class="addBorder" />

Edit:

I noticed the original question was not "How to add a border to an image," but instead it was "how to add in a box around an image using html?" The question was re-written by others, so I'm not 100% sure you wanted a border on your image.

If you just wanted a box around your images, you could use a DIV, with it's own styles:

.imageBox {
  background-color:#f1f1f1;
  padding:10px;
  border:1px solid #000000;
}

<div class="imageBox">
  <img src="picture.jpg" alt="My Picture" />
</div>

How to configure ChromeDriver to initiate Chrome browser in Headless mode through Selenium?

Answer update of 13-October-2018

To initiate a browsing context using Selenium driven ChromeDriver now you can just set the --headless property to true through an instance of Options() class as follows:

  • Effective code block:

    from selenium import webdriver
    from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
    
    options = Options()
    options.headless = True
    driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options, executable_path=r'C:\path\to\chromedriver.exe')
    driver.get("http://google.com/")
    print ("Headless Chrome Initialized")
    driver.quit()
    

Answer update of 23-April-2018

Invoking in mode programmatically have become much easier with the availability of the method set_headless(headless=True) as follows :

  • Documentation :

    set_headless(headless=True)
        Sets the headless argument
    
        Args:
            headless: boolean value indicating to set the headless option
    
  • Sample Code :

    from selenium import webdriver
    from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
    
    options = Options()
    options.set_headless(headless=True)
    driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options, executable_path=r'C:\path\to\chromedriver.exe')
    driver.get("http://google.com/")
    print ("Headless Chrome Initialized")
    driver.quit()
    

Note : --disable-gpu argument is implemented internally.


Original Answer of Mar 30 '2018

While working with Selenium Client 3.11.x, ChromeDriver v2.38 and Google Chrome v65.0.3325.181 in Headless mode you have to consider the following points :

  • You need to add the argument --headless to invoke Chrome in headless mode.

  • For Windows OS systems you need to add the argument --disable-gpu

  • As per Headless: make --disable-gpu flag unnecessary --disable-gpu flag is not required on Linux Systems and MacOS.

  • As per SwiftShader fails an assert on Windows in headless mode --disable-gpu flag will become unnecessary on Windows Systems too.

  • Argument start-maximized is required for a maximized Viewport.

  • Here is the link to details about Viewport.

  • You may require to add the argument --no-sandbox to bypass the OS security model.

  • Effective code block :

    from selenium import webdriver
    from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
    
    options = Options()
    options.add_argument("--headless") # Runs Chrome in headless mode.
    options.add_argument('--no-sandbox') # Bypass OS security model
    options.add_argument('--disable-gpu')  # applicable to windows os only
    options.add_argument('start-maximized') # 
    options.add_argument('disable-infobars')
    options.add_argument("--disable-extensions")
    driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options, executable_path=r'C:\path\to\chromedriver.exe')
    driver.get("http://google.com/")
    print ("Headless Chrome Initialized on Windows OS")
    
  • Effective code block :

    from selenium import webdriver
    from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
    
    options = Options()
    options.add_argument("--headless") # Runs Chrome in headless mode.
    options.add_argument('--no-sandbox') # # Bypass OS security model
    options.add_argument('start-maximized')
    options.add_argument('disable-infobars')
    options.add_argument("--disable-extensions")
    driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options, executable_path='/path/to/chromedriver')
    driver.get("http://google.com/")
    print ("Headless Chrome Initialized on Linux OS")

XAMPP Apache won't start

I had this problem as well in XAMPP [XAMPP Control Panel v3.2.1] on Windows 8 64bit.

The first thing I done was to use the "Take Ownership" command (see below for a link) and this created a better error message.

From the error message above it changed to: 5:49:08 p.m. [Apache] Problem detected! 5:49:08 p.m. [Apache] Port 80 in use by "C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe" with PID 4968! 5:49:08 p.m. [Apache] Apache WILL NOT start without the configured ports free! 5:49:08 p.m. [Apache] You need to uninstall/disable/reconfigure the blocking application 5:49:08 p.m. [Apache] or reconfigure Apache and the Control Panel to listen on a different port

Closing skype fixes this, reopening skype allows it to change the port number itself.

Adding this only because Google finds this error as the best result for "xampp apache wont start". Sorry for posting on an older issue.

How to host google web fonts on my own server?

Please keep in mind that my answer has aged a lot.

There are other more technically sophisticated answers below, e.g.:

so don't let the fact that this is the currently accepted answer give you the impression that this is still the best one.


You can also now also download google's entire font set via on github at their google/font repository. They also provide a ~420MB zip snapshot of their fonts.


You first download your font selection as a zipped package, providing you with a bunch of true type fonts. Copy them somewhere public, somewhere you can link to from your css.

On the google webfont download page, you'll find a include link like so:

http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Cantarell:400,700,400italic,700italic|Candal

It links to a CSS defining the fonts via a bunch of @font-face defintions.

Open it in a browser to copy and paste them into your own CSS and modify the urls to include the right font file and format types.

So this:

    @font-face {
      font-family: 'Cantarell';
      font-style: normal;
      font-weight: 700;
      src: local('Cantarell Bold'), local('Cantarell-Bold'), url(http://themes.googleusercontent.com/static/fonts/cantarell/v3/Yir4ZDsCn4g1kWopdg-ehHhCUOGz7vYGh680lGh-uXM.woff) format('woff');
    }

becomes this:

    /* Your local CSS File */
    @font-face {
        font-family: 'Cantarell';
        font-style: normal;
        font-weight: 700;
        src: local('Cantarell Bold'), local('Cantarell-Bold'), url(../font/Cantarell-Bold.ttf) format('truetype');
    }

As you can see, a downside of hosting the fonts on your own system this way is, that you restrict yourself to the true type format, whilst the google webfont service determines by the accessing device which formats will be transmitted.

Furthermore, I had to add a .htaccess file to my the directory holding the fonts containing mime types to avoid errors from popping up in Chrome Dev Tools.

For this solution, only true type is needed, but defining more does not hurt when you want to include different fonts as well, like font-awesome.

#.htaccess
AddType application/vnd.ms-fontobject .eot
AddType font/ttf .ttf
AddType font/otf .otf
AddType application/x-font-woff .woff

Error: Uncaught (in promise): Error: Cannot match any routes Angular 2

I had the same problem and later I realised that my app-routing.module.ts was inside a sub folder called app-routing. I moved this file directly under src and now it is working. (Now app-routing file has access to all the components)

Execution failed for task 'app:mergeDebugResources' Crunching Cruncher....png failed

This is because your PNG file is not supported or else you renamed your file directly.

Do the following steps.

  1. Copy your image source file from Android Studio to your desktop.
  2. Open the file with Paint.
  3. Save file as extension .png
  4. Delete the existing source file from Android Studio which you copied.
  5. Add the newly created file which you renamed via Paint.

Problem solved :)

Check if all elements in a list are identical

Regarding using reduce() with lambda. Here is a working code that I personally think is way nicer than some of the other answers.

reduce(lambda x, y: (x[1]==y, y), [2, 2, 2], (True, 2))

Returns a tuple where the first value is the boolean if all items are same or not.

MySQL: ignore errors when importing?

Use the --force (-f) flag on your mysql import. Rather than stopping on the offending statement, MySQL will continue and just log the errors to the console.

How do I center list items inside a UL element?

Another way to do this:

</ul>

ul {
  width: auto;
  display: table;
  margin-left: auto;
  margin-right: auto;
}

ul li {
  float: left;
  list-style: none;
  margin-right: 1rem;

How to add number of days to today's date?

[UPDATE] Consider reading this before you proceed...

Moment.js

Install moment.js from here.

npm : $ npm i --save moment

Bower : $ bower install --save moment

Next,

var date = moment()
            .add(2,'d') //replace 2 with number of days you want to add
            .toDate(); //convert it to a Javascript Date Object if you like

Link Ref : http://momentjs.com/docs/#/manipulating/add/

Moment.js is an amazing Javascript library to manage Date objects and extremely light weight at 40kb.

Good Luck.

Difference between SET autocommit=1 and START TRANSACTION in mysql (Have I missed something?)

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/lock-tables.html

The correct way to use LOCK TABLES and UNLOCK TABLES with transactional tables, such as InnoDB tables, is to begin a transaction with SET autocommit = 0 (not START TRANSACTION) followed by LOCK TABLES, and to not call UNLOCK TABLES until you commit the transaction explicitly. For example, if you need to write to table t1 and read from table t2, you can do this:

SET autocommit=0;
LOCK TABLES t1 WRITE, t2 READ, ...;... do something with tables t1 and t2 here ...
COMMIT;
UNLOCK TABLES;
