Programs & Examples On #Gitosis

Gitosis is software to manage a collection of Git repositories on a server accessible by SSH, without creating local accounts for the users. It has not been updated since 2009. Gitolite is an actively developed alternative with a richer feature set. Use this tag for help with Gitosis installation and usage.

git push says "everything up-to-date" even though I have local changes

I had the same issue. In my case it was caused by having to names for the same remote. It created the standard 'origin', but I've been using 'github' as my remote for a long time, so that was there too. As soon as I removed the 'origin' remote, the error went away.

Hexadecimal value 0x00 is a invalid character

Without your actual data or source, it will be hard for us to diagnose what is going wrong. However, I can make a few suggestions:

  • Unicode NUL (0x00) is illegal in all versions of XML and validating parsers must reject input that contains it.
  • Despite the above; real-world non-validated XML can contain any kind of garbage ill-formed bytes imaginable.
  • XML 1.1 allows zero-width and nonprinting control characters (except NUL), so you cannot look at an XML 1.1 file in a text editor and tell what characters it contains.

Given what you wrote, I suspect whatever converts the database data to XML is broken; it's propagating non-XML characters.

Create some database entries with non-XML characters (NULs, DELs, control characters, et al.) and run your XML converter on it. Output the XML to a file and look at it in a hex editor. If this contains non-XML characters, your converter is broken. Fix it or, if you cannot, create a preprocessor that rejects output with such characters.

If the converter output looks good, the problem is in your XML consumer; it's inserting non-XML characters somewhere. You will have to break your consumption process into separate steps, examine the output at each step, and narrow down what is introducing the bad characters.

Check file encoding (for UTF-16)

Update: I just ran into an example of this myself! What was happening is that the producer was encoding the XML as UTF16 and the consumer was expecting UTF8. Since UTF16 uses 0x00 as the high byte for all ASCII characters and UTF8 doesn't, the consumer was seeing every second byte as a NUL. In my case I could change encoding, but suggested all XML payloads start with a BOM.

Show special characters in Unix while using 'less' Command

For less use -u to display carriage returns (^M) and backspaces (^H), or -U to show the previous and tabs (^I) for example:

$ awk 'BEGIN{print "foo\bbar\tbaz\r\n"}' | less -U 
foo^Hbar^Ibaz^M

(END)

Without the -U switch the output would be:

fobar   baz

(END)

See man less for more exact description on the features.

Installed Java 7 on Mac OS X but Terminal is still using version 6

Hard-coding the JAVA_HOME path might not be the best idea. The /usr/libexec/java_home utility sill works for me on Mac OSX Lion 10.7.5 and JDK 1.7.0_13. According to its man page, it is meant to be used with Apple's old Java Preferences pane, but it appears to be working with the replacement provided by Oracle (Java Control Panel). For example running /usr/libexec/java_home -V lists all installed JDKs (both 1.6.* and 1.7.*) on my machine.

So, as discussed in other threads (e.g. What should I set JAVA_HOME to on OSX), I would still recommend adding the following line to your .bash_profile:

export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home)

Retrieve all values from HashMap keys in an ArrayList Java

It has method to find all values from map:

How to revert a "git rm -r ."?

undo git rm

git rm file             # delete file & update index
git checkout HEAD file  # restore file & index from HEAD

undo git rm -r

git rm -r dir          # delete tracked files in dir & update index
git checkout HEAD dir  # restore file & index from HEAD

undo git rm -rf

git rm -r dir          # delete tracked files & delete uncommitted changes
not possible           # `uncommitted changes` can not be restored.

Uncommitted changes includes not staged changes, staged changes but not committed.

Regex doesn't work in String.matches()

Welcome to Java's misnamed .matches() method... It tries and matches ALL the input. Unfortunately, other languages have followed suit :(

If you want to see if the regex matches an input text, use a Pattern, a Matcher and the .find() method of the matcher:

Pattern p = Pattern.compile("[a-z]");
Matcher m = p.matcher(inputstring);
if (m.find())
    // match

If what you want is indeed to see if an input only has lowercase letters, you can use .matches(), but you need to match one or more characters: append a + to your character class, as in [a-z]+. Or use ^[a-z]+$ and .find().

POSTing JsonObject With HttpClient From Web API

Thank you pomber but for

because Result makes app lock for high request

How to see my Eclipse version?

I believe you can find out Eclipse Platform version for every software product that is Eclipse-based.

  1. Open Installation Details:

    • Go to Help => About => Installation Details.
    • Or to Help => Install New Software... => click What is already installed? link.
  2. Choose Plug-ins tab => type org.eclipse.platform => check Version column.

  3. You can match version code and version name on https://wiki.eclipse.org/Older_Versions_Of_Eclipse

For example, check out GitEye (Git GUI client) GitEye Installation Details

Or checkout DBBeaver (DB manager):

Calculating the distance between 2 points

measure the square distance from one point to the other:

((x1-x2)*(x1-x2)+(y1-y2)*(y1-y2)) < d*d

where d is the distance, (x1,y1) are the coordinates of the 'base point' and (x2,y2) the coordinates of the point you want to check.

or if you prefer:

(Math.Pow(x1-x2,2)+Math.Pow(y1-y2,2)) < (d*d);

Noticed that the preferred one does not call Pow at all for speed reasons, and the second one, probably slower, as well does not call Math.Sqrt, always for performance reasons. Maybe such optimization are premature in your case, but they are useful if that code has to be executed a lot of times.

Of course you are talking in meters and I supposed point coordinates are expressed in meters too.

How to add an object to an ArrayList in Java

You need to use the new operator when creating the object

Contacts.add(new Data(name, address, contact)); // Creating a new object and adding it to list - single step

or else

Data objt = new Data(name, address, contact); // Creating a new object
Contacts.add(objt); // Adding it to the list

and your constructor shouldn't contain void. Else it becomes a method in your class.

public Data(String n, String a, String c) { // Constructor has the same name as the class and no return type as such

Instantiate and Present a viewController in Swift

This answer was last revised for Swift 5.2 and iOS 13.4 SDK.


It's all a matter of new syntax and slightly revised APIs. The underlying functionality of UIKit hasn't changed. This is true for a vast majority of iOS SDK frameworks.

let storyboard = UIStoryboard(name: "myStoryboardName", bundle: nil)
let vc = storyboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "myVCID")
self.present(vc, animated: true)

If you're having problems with init(coder:), please refer to EridB's answer.

Full Page <iframe>

For full-screen frame redirects and similar things I have two methods. Both work fine on mobile and desktop.

Note this are complete cross-browser working, valid HTML files. Just change title and src for your needs.

1. this is my favorite:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<meta charset=utf-8>
<title> Title-1 </title>
<meta name=viewport content="width=device-width">
<style>
 html, body, iframe { height:100%; width:100%; margin:0; border:0; display:block }
</style>
<iframe src=src1></iframe>

<!-- More verbose CSS for better understanding:
  html   { height:100% }
  body   { height:100%; margin:0 }
  iframe { height:100%; width:100%; border:0; display:block }
-->

or 2. something like that, slightly shorter:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<meta charset=utf-8>
<title> Title-2 </title>
<meta name=viewport content="width=device-width">
<iframe src=src2 style="position:absolute; top:0; left:0; width:100%; height:100%; border:0">
</iframe>


Note:
The above examples avoid using height:100vh because old browsers don't know it (maybe moot these days) and height:100vh is not always equal to height:100% on mobile browsers (probably not applicable here). Otherwise, vh simplifies things a little bit, so

3. this is an example using vh (not my favorite, less compatible with little advantage)

<!DOCTYPE html>
<meta charset=utf-8>
<title> Title-3 </title>
<meta name=viewport content="width=device-width">
<style>
 body { margin:0 }
 iframe { display:block; width:100%; height:100vh; border:0 }
</style>
<iframe src=src3></iframe>

javascript pushing element at the beginning of an array

Reference — What does this symbol mean in PHP?

Null coalescing operator (??)

This operator has been added in PHP 7.0 for the common case of needing to use a ternary operator in conjunction with isset(). It returns its first operand if it exists and is not NULL; otherwise it returns its second operand.

<?php
// Fetches the value of $_GET['user'] and returns 'nobody'
// if it does not exist.
$username = $_GET['user'] ?? 'nobody';
// This is equivalent to:
$username = isset($_GET['user']) ? $_GET['user'] : 'nobody';

// Coalescing can be chained: this will return the first
// defined value out of $_GET['user'], $_POST['user'], and
// 'nobody'.
$username = $_GET['user'] ?? $_POST['user'] ?? 'nobody';
?>

scp files from local to remote machine error: no such file or directory

If you want to copy everything in a Folder + have a special Port use this one. Works for me on Ubuntu 18.04 and a local machine with Mac OS X.

-r for recursive
-P for Port

scp -rP 1234 /Your_Directory/Source_Folder/ [email protected]:/target/folder

What is the default scope of a method in Java?

Java 8 now allows implementation of methods inside an interface itself with default scope (and static only).

When is it appropriate to use UDP instead of TCP?

UDP is a connection-less protocol and is used in protocols like SNMP and DNS in which data packets arriving out of order is acceptable and immediate transmission of the data packet matters.

It is used in SNMP since network management must often be done when the network is in stress i.e. when reliable, congestion-controlled data transfer is difficult to achieve.

It is used in DNS since it does not involve connection establishment, thereby avoiding connection establishment delays.

Clear and refresh jQuery Chosen dropdown list

$("#idofBtn").click(function(){
        $('#idofdropdown').empty(); //remove all child nodes
        var newOption = $('<option value="1">test</option>');
        $('#idofdropdown').append(newOption);

Xcode build failure "Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64"

I have also seen this error on Xcode 7.2 when the derived data becomes corrupted (in my case I interrupted a build and suspect that was the root cause).

So if the other solutions (notably Chris's and BraveS's which I suspect are more likely) do not fit your problem try deleting derived data (Select: Window / Projects / Derived Data -> Delete) and re-building.

(Added for reference by others - I know the original question has been answered correctly).

ngFor with index as value in attribute

The other answers are correct but you can omit the [attr.data-index] altogether and just use

<ul>
    <li *ngFor="let item of items; let i = index">{{i + 1}}</li>
</ul

How can I use UIColorFromRGB in Swift?

solution for argb format:

//  UIColorExtensions.swift
import UIKit
extension UIColor {

    convenience init(argb: UInt) {
        self.init(
            red: CGFloat((argb & 0xFF0000) >> 16) / 255.0,
            green: CGFloat((argb & 0x00FF00) >> 8) / 255.0,
            blue: CGFloat(argb & 0x0000FF) / 255.0,
            alpha: CGFloat((argb & 0xFF000000) >> 24) / 255.0
        )
    }
}

usage:

var clearColor: UIColor = UIColor.init(argb: 0x00000000)
var redColor: UIColor = UIColor.init(argb: 0xFFFF0000)

How to create an empty array in PHP with predefined size?

Possibly related, if you want to initialize and fill an array with a range of values, use PHP's (wait for it...) range function:

$a = range(1, 5);  // array(1,2,3,4,5)
$a = range(0, 10, 2); // array(0,2,4,6,8,10)

How can I query a value in SQL Server XML column

Including .cpp files

When you say #include "foop.cpp", it is as if you had copied the entire contents of foop.cpp and pasted it into main.cpp.

So when you compile main.cpp, the compiler emits a main.obj that contains the executable code for two functions: main and foo.

When you compile foop.cpp itself, the compiler emits a foop.obj that contains the executable code for function foo.

When you link them together, the compiler sees two definitions for function foo (one from main.obj and the other from foop.obj) and complains that you have multiple definitions.

How to detect when facebook's FB.init is complete

While some of the above solutions work, I thought I'd post our eventual solution - which defines a 'ready' method that will fire as soon as FB is initialized and ready to go. It has the advantage over other solutions that it's safe to call either before or after FB is ready.

It can be used like so:

f52.fb.ready(function() {
    // safe to use FB here
});

Here's the source file (note that it's defined within a 'f52.fb' namespace).

if (typeof(f52) === 'undefined') { f52 = {}; }
f52.fb = (function () {

    var fbAppId = f52.inputs.base.fbAppId,
        fbApiInit = false;

    var awaitingReady = [];

    var notifyQ = function() {
        var i = 0,
            l = awaitingReady.length;
        for(i = 0; i < l; i++) {
            awaitingReady[i]();
        }
    };

    var ready = function(cb) {
        if (fbApiInit) {
            cb();
        } else {
            awaitingReady.push(cb);
        }
    };

    window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
        FB.init({
            appId: fbAppId,
            xfbml: true,
            version: 'v2.0'
        });

        FB.getLoginStatus(function(response){
            fbApiInit = true;
            notifyQ();
        });
    };

    return {
        /**
         * Fires callback when FB is initialized and ready for api calls.
         */
        'ready': ready
    };

})();

Adding Table rows Dynamically in Android

You can use an inflater with TableRow:

for (int i = 0; i < months; i++) {
    
    View view = getLayoutInflater ().inflate (R.layout.list_month_data, null, false);
        
    TextView textView = view.findViewById (R.id.title);
    
    textView.setText ("Text");
        
    tableLayout.addView (view);
    
}

Layout:

<TableRow
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_centerInParent="true"
    android:gravity="center_horizontal"
    android:paddingTop="15dp"
    android:paddingRight="15dp"
    android:paddingLeft="15dp"
    android:paddingBottom="10dp"
    >
    
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/title"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textSize="18sp"
        android:gravity="center"
        />
    
</TableRow>

How to align LinearLayout at the center of its parent?

These two attributes are commonly confused:

  • android:gravity sets the gravity of the content of the View it's used on.
  • android:layout_gravity sets the gravity of the View or Layout relative to its parent.

So either put android:gravity="center" on the parent or android:layout_gravity="center" on the LinearLayout itself.

I have caught myself a number of times mixing them up and wondering why things weren't centering properly...

How to perform Unwind segue programmatically?

Vishal Chaudhry's answer above worked for me. I would also add that in order to manually trigger the seque using:

[self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"mySegueName" sender:self];

from within the ViewController you must also select the unwind segue under the ViewController's Scene in the storyboard and in the properties view on the RHS ensure that the Indentifier field contains the namer you're referring to in the code ("mySegueName" in the example above).

If you omit this step, the line above will throw an exception that the seque name is not known.

How do I create a comma delimited string from an ArrayList?

The solutions so far are all quite complicated. The idiomatic solution should doubtless be:

String.Join(",", x.Cast(Of String)().ToArray())

There's no need for fancy acrobatics in new framework versions. Supposing a not-so-modern version, the following would be easiest:

Console.WriteLine(String.Join(",", CType(x.ToArray(GetType(String)), String())))

mspmsp's second solution is a nice approach as well but it's not working because it misses the AddressOf keyword. Also, Convert.ToString is rather inefficient (lots of unnecessary internal evaluations) and the Convert class is generally not very cleanly designed. I tend to avoid it, especially since it's completely redundant.

How to read a single character at a time from a file in Python?

Python itself can help you with this, in interactive mode:

>>> help(file.read)
Help on method_descriptor:

read(...)
    read([size]) -> read at most size bytes, returned as a string.

    If the size argument is negative or omitted, read until EOF is reached.
    Notice that when in non-blocking mode, less data than what was requested
    may be returned, even if no size parameter was given.

How can I mock the JavaScript window object using Jest?

In my component I need access to window.location.search. This is what I did in the Jest test:

Object.defineProperty(global, "window", {
  value: {
    location: {
      search: "test"
    }
  }
});

In case window properties must be different in different tests, we can put window mocking into a function, and make it writable in order to override for different tests:

function mockWindow(search, pathname) {
  Object.defineProperty(global, "window", {
    value: {
      location: {
        search,
        pathname
      }
    },
    writable: true
  });
}

And reset after each test:

afterEach(() => {
  delete global.window.location;
});

Python+OpenCV: cv2.imwrite

enter image description here enter image description here enter image description here

Alternatively, with MTCNN and OpenCV(other dependencies including TensorFlow also required), you can:

1 Perform face detection(Input an image, output all boxes of detected faces):

from mtcnn.mtcnn import MTCNN
import cv2

face_detector = MTCNN()

img = cv2.imread("Anthony_Hopkins_0001.jpg")
detect_boxes = face_detector.detect_faces(img)
print(detect_boxes)

[{'box': [73, 69, 98, 123], 'confidence': 0.9996458292007446, 'keypoints': {'left_eye': (102, 116), 'right_eye': (150, 114), 'nose': (129, 142), 'mouth_left': (112, 168), 'mouth_right': (146, 167)}}]

2 save all detected faces to separate files:

for i in range(len(detect_boxes)):
    box = detect_boxes[i]["box"]
    face_img = img[box[1]:(box[1] + box[3]), box[0]:(box[0] + box[2])]
    cv2.imwrite("face-{:03d}.jpg".format(i+1), face_img)

3 or Draw rectangles of all detected faces:

for box in detect_boxes:
    box = box["box"]
    pt1 = (box[0], box[1]) # top left
    pt2 = (box[0] + box[2], box[1] + box[3]) # bottom right
    cv2.rectangle(img, pt1, pt2, (0,255,0), 2)
cv2.imwrite("detected-boxes.jpg", img)

How do I resolve "HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error" on IIS7.0

Didn't seem to be a permission issue for me - tried giving the IIS_IUSRS account full control over everything in the web service, just to see if this was the cause. The fix turned out to be recreating the application hosting the web service (i.e. the actual '.svc') in IIS

Java Inheritance - calling superclass method

How to create a WPF Window without a border that can be resized via a grip only?

I was having difficulty getting the answer by @fernando-aguirre using WindowChrome to work. It was not working in my case because I was overriding OnSourceInitialized in the MainWindow and not calling the base class method.

    ViewModel.Initialize(this);
    base.OnSourceInitialized(e); // <== Need to call this!
}

This stumped me for a very long time.

How do I tell a Python script to use a particular version

While the OP may be working on a nix platform this answer could help non-nix platforms. I have not experienced the shebang approach work in Microsoft Windows.

Rephrased: The shebang line answers your question of "within my script" but I believe only for Unix-like platforms. Even though it is the Unix shell, outside the script, that actually interprets the shebang line to determine which version of Python interpreter to call. I am not sure, but I believe that solution does not solve the problem for Microsoft Windows platform users.

In the Microsoft Windows world, the simplify the way to run a specific Python version, without environment variables setup specifically for each specific version of Python installed, is just by prefixing the python.exe with the path you want to run it from, such as C:\Python25\python.exe mymodule.py or D:\Python27\python.exe mymodule.py

However you'd need to consider the PYTHONPATH and other PYTHON... environment variables that would point to the wrong version of Python libraries.

For example, you might run: C:\Python2.5.2\python.exe mymodule

Yet, the environment variables may point to the wrong version as such:

PYTHONPATH = D:\Python27

PYTHONLIB = D:\Python27\lib

Loads of horrible fun!

So a non-virtualenv way, in Windows, would be to use a batch file that sets up the environment and calls a specific Python executable via prefixing the python.exe with the path it resides in. This way has additional details you'll have to manage though; such as using command line arguments for either of the "start" or "cmd.exe" command to "save and replace the "console" environment" if you want the console to stick around after the application exits.

Your question leads me to believe you have several Python modules, each expecting a certain version of Python. This might be solvable "within" the script by having a launching module which uses the subprocess module. Instead of calling mymodule.py you would call a module that calls your module; perhaps launch_mymodule.py

launch_mymodule.py

import sys
import subprocess
if sys.argv[2] == '272':
  env272 = {
    'PYTHONPATH': 'blabla',
    'PYTHONLIB': 'blabla', }
  launch272 = subprocess.Popen('D:\\Python272\\python.exe mymodule.py', env=env272)

if sys.argv[1] == '252'
  env252 = {
    'PYTHONPATH': 'blabla',
    'PYTHONLIB': 'blabla', }
  launch252 = subprocess.Popen('C:\\Python252\\python.exe mymodule.py', env=env252)

I have not tested this.

JAVA_HOME directory in Linux

If $JAVA_HOME is defined in your environment...

$ echo $JAVA_HOME
$ # I am not lucky...

You can guess it from the classes that are loaded.

$ java -showversion -verbose 2>&1 | head -1
[Opened /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.75.x86_64/jre/lib/rt.jar]

This method ensures you find the correct jdk/jre used in case there are multiple installations.

Or using strace:

$ strace -e open java -showversion 2>&1 | grep -m1 /jre/
open("/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.75.x86_64/jre/bin/../lib/amd64/jli/tls/x86_64/libpthread.so.0", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

How to make String.Contains case insensitive?

bool b = list.Contains("Hello", StringComparer.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase);

[EDIT] extension code:

public static bool Contains(this string source, string cont
                                                    , StringComparison compare)
{
    return source.IndexOf(cont, compare) >= 0;
}

This could work :)

Passing null arguments to C# methods

Yes. There are two kinds of types in .NET: reference types and value types.

References types (generally classes) are always referred to by references, so they support null without any extra work. This means that if a variable's type is a reference type, the variable is automatically a reference.

Value types (e.g. int) by default do not have a concept of null. However, there is a wrapper for them called Nullable. This enables you to encapsulate the non-nullable value type and include null information.

The usage is slightly different, though.

// Both of these types mean the same thing, the ? is just C# shorthand.
private void Example(int? arg1, Nullable<int> arg2)
{
    if (arg1.HasValue)
        DoSomething();

    arg1 = null; // Valid.
    arg1 = 123;  // Also valid.

    DoSomethingWithInt(arg1); // NOT valid!
    DoSomethingWithInt(arg1.Value); // Valid.
}

How do I check whether an array contains a string in TypeScript?

You can use the some method:

console.log(channelArray.some(x => x === "three")); // true

You can use the find method:

console.log(channelArray.find(x => x === "three")); // three

Or you can use the indexOf method:

console.log(channelArray.indexOf("three")); // 2

Copy output of a JavaScript variable to the clipboard

I just want to add, if someone wants to copy two different inputs to clipboard. I also used the technique of putting it to a variable then put the text of the variable from the two inputs into a text area.

Note: the code below is from a user asking how to copy multiple user inputs into clipboard. I just fixed it to work correctly. So expect some old style like the use of var instead of let or const. I also recommend to use addEventListener for the button.

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException Error

NullPointerExceptions are among the easier exceptions to diagnose, frequently. Whenever you get an exception in Java and you see the stack trace ( that's what your second quote-block is called, by the way ), you read from top to bottom. Often, you will see exceptions that start in Java library code or in native implementations methods, for diagnosis you can just skip past those until you see a code file that you wrote.

Then you like at the line indicated and look at each of the objects ( instantiated classes ) on that line -- one of them was not created and you tried to use it. You can start by looking up in your code to see if you called the constructor on that object. If you didn't, then that's your problem, you need to instantiate that object by calling new Classname( arguments ). Another frequent cause of NullPointerExceptions is accidentally declaring an object with local scope when there is an instance variable with the same name.

In your case, the exception occurred in your constructor for Workshop on line 75. <init> means the constructor for a class. If you look on that line in your code, you'll see the line

denimjeansButton.addItemListener(this);

There are fairly clearly two objects on this line: denimjeansButton and this. this is synonymous with the class instance you are currently in and you're in the constructor, so it can't be this. denimjeansButton is your culprit. You never instantiated that object. Either remove the reference to the instance variable denimjeansButton or instantiate it.

How to retrieve Key Alias and Key Password for signed APK in android studio(migrated from Eclipse)

JavaScript hide/show element

Just create hide and show methods yourself for all elements, as follows

Element.prototype.hide = function() {
    this.style.display = 'none';
}
Element.prototype.show = function() {
    this.style.display = '';
}

After this you can use the methods with the usual element identifiers like in these examples:

document.getElementByTagName('div')[3].hide();
document.getElementById('thing').show();

or:

<img src="removeME.png" onclick="this.hide()">

How do I set up cron to run a file just once at a specific time?

For those who is not able to access/install at in environment, can use custom script:

  if [ $t -eq $2 ]; then
    /bin/bash $1
    echo DONE $(date);
    break;
  fi;

How to check String in response body with mockMvc

One possible approach is to simply include gson dependency:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.google.code.gson</groupId>
    <artifactId>gson</artifactId>
</dependency>

and parse the value to make your verifications:

@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@WebMvcTest(HelloController.class)
public class HelloControllerTest {

    @Autowired
    private MockMvc mockMvc;

    @MockBean
    private HelloService helloService;

    @Before
    public void before() {
        Mockito.when(helloService.message()).thenReturn("hello world!");
    }

    @Test
    public void testMessage() throws Exception {
        MvcResult mvcResult = mockMvc.perform(MockMvcRequestBuilders.get("/"))
                .andExpect(status().isOk())
                .andExpect(content().contentTypeCompatibleWith(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE))
                .andReturn();

        String responseBody = mvcResult.getResponse().getContentAsString();
        ResponseDto responseDto
                = new Gson().fromJson(responseBody, ResponseDto.class);
        Assertions.assertThat(responseDto.message).isEqualTo("hello world!");
    }
}

What is Gradle in Android Studio?

Gradle is an advanced build system as well as an advanced build toolkit allowing to create custom build logic through plugins!

Advantages:

  • Dsl - Domain specific language, based on groovy
  • DAG - Directed Acyclic Graph
  • Incremental builds
  • Extensible domain model
  • Gradle is always up to date
  • Before a task is being execute, Gradle takes a snapshot of its task’s input and output.
  • In case the snapshot has changed or it doesn’t exists, Gralde will re- execute this task.

Manifest entries

Through the DSL it is possible to configure the following manifest entries:

Build variant

By default, the Android plugin automatically sets up the project to build both a debug and a release version of the application.

Dependencies

  1. Local Dependencies:

If you have binary archives in your local filesystem that a module depends on, such as JAR files, you can declare these dependencies in the build file for that module.

  1. Remote Dependencies:

First the repository must be added to the list, and then the dependency must be declared in a way that Maven or Ivy declare their artifacts.

How do I make jQuery wait for an Ajax call to finish before it returns?

since async ajax is deprecated try using nested async functions with a Promise. There may be syntax errors.


async function fetch_my_data(_url, _dat) {

   async function promised_fetch(_url, _dat) {

      return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
         $.ajax({
            url:  _url,
            data: _dat,
            type: 'POST',
            success: (response) => {

            },
            error: (response) => {
               reject(response);
            }
         });
      });
   }

   var _data = await promised_fetch(_url, _dat);
   
   return _data;
}

var _my_data = fetch_my_data('server.php', 'get_my_data=1');

Multiple WHERE Clauses with LINQ extension methods

Surely:

if (useAdditionalClauses) 
{ 
  results = 
    results.Where(o => o.OrderStatus == OrderStatus.Open && 
    o.CustomerID == customerID)  
} 

Or just another .Where() call like this one (although I don't know why you would want to, unless it's split by another boolean control variable):

if (useAdditionalClauses) 
{ 
  results = results.Where(o => o.OrderStatus == OrderStatus.Open).
    Where(o => o.CustomerID == customerID);
} 

Or another reassignment to results: `results = results.Where(blah).

How to load Spring Application Context

Add this at the start of main

ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("path/to/applicationContext.xml");

JobLauncher launcher=(JobLauncher)context.getBean("launcher");
Job job=(Job)context.getBean("job");

//Get as many beans you want
//Now do the thing you were doing inside test method
StopWatch sw = new StopWatch();
sw.start();
launcher.run(job, jobParameters);
sw.stop();
//initialize the log same way inside main
logger.info(">>> TIME ELAPSED:" + sw.prettyPrint());

Changes in import statement python3

Relative import happens whenever you are importing a package relative to the current script/package.

Consider the following tree for example:

mypkg
+-- base.py
+-- derived.py

Now, your derived.py requires something from base.py. In Python 2, you could do it like this (in derived.py):

from base import BaseThing

Python 3 no longer supports that since it's not explicit whether you want the 'relative' or 'absolute' base. In other words, if there was a Python package named base installed in the system, you'd get the wrong one.

Instead it requires you to use explicit imports which explicitly specify location of a module on a path-alike basis. Your derived.py would look like:

from .base import BaseThing

The leading . says 'import base from module directory'; in other words, .base maps to ./base.py.

Similarly, there is .. prefix which goes up the directory hierarchy like ../ (with ..mod mapping to ../mod.py), and then ... which goes two levels up (../../mod.py) and so on.

Please however note that the relative paths listed above were relative to directory where current module (derived.py) resides in, not the current working directory.


@BrenBarn has already explained the star import case. For completeness, I will have to say the same ;).

For example, you need to use a few math functions but you use them only in a single function. In Python 2 you were permitted to be semi-lazy:

def sin_degrees(x):
    from math import *
    return sin(degrees(x))

Note that it already triggers a warning in Python 2:

a.py:1: SyntaxWarning: import * only allowed at module level
  def sin_degrees(x):

In modern Python 2 code you should and in Python 3 you have to do either:

def sin_degrees(x):
    from math import sin, degrees
    return sin(degrees(x))

or:

from math import *

def sin_degrees(x):
    return sin(degrees(x))

Excel VBA Run-time error '424': Object Required when trying to copy TextBox

I think the reason that this is happening could be because TextBox1 is scoping to the VBA module and its associated sheet, while Range is scoping to the "Active Sheet".

It looks like you may be able to use the GetObject function to pull the textbox from the workbook.

Get MD5 hash of big files in Python

I'm not sure that there isn't a bit too much fussing around here. I recently had problems with md5 and files stored as blobs on MySQL so I experimented with various file sizes and the straightforward Python approach, viz:

FileHash=hashlib.md5(FileData).hexdigest()

I could detect no noticeable performance difference with a range of file sizes 2Kb to 20Mb and therefore no need to 'chunk' the hashing. Anyway, if Linux has to go to disk, it will probably do it at least as well as the average programmer's ability to keep it from doing so. As it happened, the problem was nothing to do with md5. If you're using MySQL, don't forget the md5() and sha1() functions already there.

Java: How to check if object is null?

Drawable drawable = Common.getDrawableFromUrl(this, product.getMapPath());
if (drawable == null) {
    drawable = getRandomDrawable();
}

The equals() method checks for value equality, which means that it compares the contents of two objects. Since null is not an object, this crashes when trying to compare the contents of your object to the contents of null.

The == operator checks for reference equality, which means that it looks whether the two objects are actually the very same object. This does not require the objects to actually exist; two nonexistent objects (null references) are also equal.

CSS3 Fade Effect

It's possible, use the structure below:

<li><a><span></span></a></li>
<li><a><span></span></a></li>

etc...

Where the <li> contains an <a> anchor tag that contains a span as shown above. Then insert the following css:

  • LI get position: relative;
  • Give <a> tag a height, width
  • Set <span> width & height to 100%, so that both <a> and <span> have same dimensions
  • Both <a> and <span> get position: relative;.
  • Assign the same background image to each element
  • <a> tag will have the 'OFF' background-position, and the <span> will have the 'ON' background-poisiton.
  • For 'OFF' state use opacity 0 for <span>
  • For 'ON' :hover state use opacity 1 for <span>
  • Set the -webkit or -moz transition on the <span> element

You'll have the ability to use the transition effect while still defaulting to the old background-position swap. Don't forget to insert IE alpha filter.

How to Fill an array from user input C#?

It made a lot more sense to add this as an answer to arin's code than to keep doing it in comments...

1) Consider using decimal instead of double. It's more likely to give the answer the user expects. See http://pobox.com/~skeet/csharp/floatingpoint.html and http://pobox.com/~skeet/csharp/decimal.html for reasons why. Basically decimal works a lot closer to how humans think about numbers than double does. Double works more like how computers "naturally" think about numbers, which is why it's faster - but that's not relevant here.

2) For user input, it's usually worth using a method which doesn't throw an exception on bad input - e.g. decimal.TryParse and int.TryParse. These return a Boolean value to say whether or not the parse succeeded, and use an out parameter to give the result. If you haven't started learning about out parameters yet, it might be worth ignoring this point for the moment.

3) It's only a little point, but I think it's wise to have braces round all "for"/"if" (etc) bodies, so I'd change this:

for (int counter = 0; counter < 6; counter++)
    Console.WriteLine("{0,5}{1,8}", counter, array[counter]);

to this:

for (int counter = 0; counter < 6; counter++)
{
    Console.WriteLine("{0,5}{1,8}", counter, array[counter]);
}

It makes the block clearer, and means you don't accidentally write:

for (int counter = 0; counter < 6; counter++)
    Console.WriteLine("{0,5}{1,8}", counter, array[counter]);
    Console.WriteLine("----"); // This isn't part of the for loop!

4) Your switch statement doesn't have a default case - so if the user types anything other than "yes" or "no" it will just ignore them and quit. You might want to have something like:

bool keepGoing = true;
while (keepGoing)
{
    switch (answer)
    {
        case "yes":
            Console.WriteLine("===============================================");
            Console.WriteLine("please enter the array index you wish to get the value of it");
            int index = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine());
            Console.WriteLine("===============================================");
            Console.WriteLine("The Value of the selected index is:");
            Console.WriteLine(array[index]);
            keepGoing = false;
            break;

        case "no":
            Console.WriteLine("===============================================");
            Console.WriteLine("HAVE A NICE DAY SIR");
            keepGoing = false;
            break;

        default:
            Console.WriteLine("Sorry, I didn't understand that. Please enter yes or no");
            break;
    }
}

5) When you've started learning about LINQ, you might want to come back to this and replace your for loop which sums the input as just:

// Or decimal, of course, if you've made the earlier selected change
double sum = input.Sum();

Again, this is fairly advanced - don't worry about it for now!

Count all values in a matrix greater than a value

There are many ways to achieve this, like flatten-and-filter or simply enumerate, but I think using Boolean/mask array is the easiest one (and iirc a much faster one):

>>> y = np.array([[123,24123,32432], [234,24,23]])
array([[  123, 24123, 32432],
       [  234,    24,    23]])
>>> b = y > 200
>>> b
array([[False,  True,  True],
       [ True, False, False]], dtype=bool)
>>> y[b]
array([24123, 32432,   234])
>>> len(y[b])
3
>>>> y[b].sum()
56789

Update:

As nneonneo has answered, if all you want is the number of elements that passes threshold, you can simply do:

>>>> (y>200).sum()

which is a simpler solution.


Speed comparison with filter:

### use boolean/mask array ###

b = y > 200

%timeit y[b]
100000 loops, best of 3: 3.31 us per loop

%timeit y[y>200]
100000 loops, best of 3: 7.57 us per loop

### use filter ###

x = y.ravel()
%timeit filter(lambda x:x>200, x)
100000 loops, best of 3: 9.33 us per loop

%timeit np.array(filter(lambda x:x>200, x))
10000 loops, best of 3: 21.7 us per loop

%timeit filter(lambda x:x>200, y.ravel())
100000 loops, best of 3: 11.2 us per loop

%timeit np.array(filter(lambda x:x>200, y.ravel()))
10000 loops, best of 3: 22.9 us per loop

*** use numpy.where ***

nb = np.where(y>200)
%timeit y[nb]
100000 loops, best of 3: 2.42 us per loop

%timeit y[np.where(y>200)]
100000 loops, best of 3: 10.3 us per loop

Accessing an array out of bounds gives no error, why?

It's undefined behavior as far as I know. Run a larger program with that and it will crash somewhere along the way. Bounds checking is not a part of raw arrays (or even std::vector).

Use std::vector with std::vector::iterator's instead so you don't have to worry about it.

Edit:

Just for fun, run this and see how long until you crash:

int main()
{
   int array[1];

   for (int i = 0; i != 100000; i++)
   {
       array[i] = i;
   }

   return 0; //will be lucky to ever reach this
}

Edit2:

Don't run that.

Edit3:

OK, here is a quick lesson on arrays and their relationships with pointers:

When you use array indexing, you are really using a pointer in disguise (called a "reference"), that is automatically dereferenced. This is why instead of *(array[1]), array[1] automatically returns the value at that value.

When you have a pointer to an array, like this:

int array[5];
int *ptr = array;

Then the "array" in the second declaration is really decaying to a pointer to the first array. This is equivalent behavior to this:

int *ptr = &array[0];

When you try to access beyond what you allocated, you are really just using a pointer to other memory (which C++ won't complain about). Taking my example program above, that is equivalent to this:

int main()
{
   int array[1];
   int *ptr = array;

   for (int i = 0; i != 100000; i++, ptr++)
   {
       *ptr++ = i;
   }

   return 0; //will be lucky to ever reach this
}

The compiler won't complain because in programming, you often have to communicate with other programs, especially the operating system. This is done with pointers quite a bit.

Angular/RxJs When should I unsubscribe from `Subscription`

The official Edit #3 answer (and variations) works well, but the thing that gets me is the 'muddying' of the business logic around the observable subscription.

Here's another approach using wrappers.

Warining: experimental code

File subscribeAndGuard.ts is used to create a new Observable extension to wrap .subscribe() and within it to wrap ngOnDestroy().
Usage is the same as .subscribe(), except for an additional first parameter referencing the component.

import { Observable } from 'rxjs/Observable';
import { Subscription } from 'rxjs/Subscription';

const subscribeAndGuard = function(component, fnData, fnError = null, fnComplete = null) {

  // Define the subscription
  const sub: Subscription = this.subscribe(fnData, fnError, fnComplete);

  // Wrap component's onDestroy
  if (!component.ngOnDestroy) {
    throw new Error('To use subscribeAndGuard, the component must implement ngOnDestroy');
  }
  const saved_OnDestroy = component.ngOnDestroy;
  component.ngOnDestroy = () => {
    console.log('subscribeAndGuard.onDestroy');
    sub.unsubscribe();
    // Note: need to put original back in place
    // otherwise 'this' is undefined in component.ngOnDestroy
    component.ngOnDestroy = saved_OnDestroy;
    component.ngOnDestroy();

  };

  return sub;
};

// Create an Observable extension
Observable.prototype.subscribeAndGuard = subscribeAndGuard;

// Ref: https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/declaration-merging.html
declare module 'rxjs/Observable' {
  interface Observable<T> {
    subscribeAndGuard: typeof subscribeAndGuard;
  }
}

Here is a component with two subscriptions, one with the wrapper and one without. The only caveat is it must implement OnDestroy (with empty body if desired), otherwise Angular does not know to call the wrapped version.

import { Component, OnInit, OnDestroy } from '@angular/core';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs/Observable';
import 'rxjs/Rx';
import './subscribeAndGuard';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-subscribing',
  template: '<h3>Subscribing component is active</h3>',
})
export class SubscribingComponent implements OnInit, OnDestroy {

  ngOnInit() {

    // This subscription will be terminated after onDestroy
    Observable.interval(1000)
      .subscribeAndGuard(this,
        (data) => { console.log('Guarded:', data); },
        (error) => { },
        (/*completed*/) => { }
      );

    // This subscription will continue after onDestroy
    Observable.interval(1000)
      .subscribe(
        (data) => { console.log('Unguarded:', data); },
        (error) => { },
        (/*completed*/) => { }
      );
  }

  ngOnDestroy() {
    console.log('SubscribingComponent.OnDestroy');
  }
}

A demo plunker is here

An additional note: Re Edit 3 - The 'Official' Solution, this can be simplified by using takeWhile() instead of takeUntil() before subscriptions, and a simple boolean rather than another Observable in ngOnDestroy.

@Component({...})
export class SubscribingComponent implements OnInit, OnDestroy {

  iAmAlive = true;
  ngOnInit() {

    Observable.interval(1000)
      .takeWhile(() => { return this.iAmAlive; })
      .subscribe((data) => { console.log(data); });
  }

  ngOnDestroy() {
    this.iAmAlive = false;
  }
}

How to read/write arbitrary bits in C/C++

int x = 0xFF;   //your number - 11111111

How do I for example read a 3 bit integer value starting at the second bit

how to convert current date to YYYY-MM-DD format with angular 2

Example as per doc

@Component({
  selector: 'date-pipe',
  template: `<div>
    <p>Today is {{today | date}}</p>
    <p>Or if you prefer, {{today | date:'fullDate'}}</p>
    <p>The time is {{today | date:'jmZ'}}</p>
  </div>`
})
export class DatePipeComponent {
  today: number = Date.now();
}

Template

{{ dateObj | date }}               // output is 'Jun 15, 2015'
{{ dateObj | date:'medium' }}      // output is 'Jun 15, 2015, 9:43:11 PM'
{{ dateObj | date:'shortTime' }}   // output is '9:43 PM'
{{ dateObj | date:'mmss' }}        // output is '43:11'
{{dateObj  | date: 'dd/MM/yyyy'}} // 15/06/2015

To Use in your component.

@Injectable()
import { DatePipe } from '@angular/common';
class MyService {

  constructor(private datePipe: DatePipe) {}

  transformDate(date) {
    this.datePipe.transform(myDate, 'yyyy-MM-dd'); //whatever format you need. 
  }
}

In your app.module.ts

providers: [DatePipe,...] 

all you have to do is use this service now.

Check string length in PHP

How to add link to flash banner

If you have a flash FLA file that shows the FLV movie you can add a button inside the FLA file. This button can be given an action to load the URL.

on (release) {
  getURL("http://someurl/");
}

To make the button transparent you can place a square inside it that is moved to the hit-area frame of the button.

I think it would go too far to explain into depth with pictures how to go about in stackoverflow.

How to parse a string in JavaScript?

as amber and sinan have noted above, the javascritp '.split' method will work just fine. Just pass it the string separator(-) and the string that you intend to split('123-abc-itchy-knee') and it will do the rest.

    var coolVar = '123-abc-itchy-knee';
    var coolVarParts = coolVar.split('-'); // this is an array containing the items

    var1=coolVarParts[0]; //this will retrieve 123

To access each item from the array just use the respective index(indices start at zero).

How to subtract a day from a date?

Also just another nice function i like to use when i want to compute i.e. first/last day of the last month or other relative timedeltas etc. ...

The relativedelta function from dateutil function (a powerful extension to the datetime lib)

import datetime as dt
from dateutil.relativedelta import relativedelta
#get first and last day of this and last month)
today = dt.date.today()
first_day_this_month = dt.date(day=1, month=today.month, year=today.year)
last_day_last_month = first_day_this_month - relativedelta(days=1)
print (first_day_this_month, last_day_last_month)

How to use underscore.js as a template engine?

I am giving a very simple example

1)

var data = {site:"mysite",name:"john",age:25};
var template = "Welcome you are at <%=site %>.This has been created by <%=name %> whose age is <%=age%>";
var parsedTemplate = _.template(template,data);
console.log(parsedTemplate); 

The result would be

Welcome you are at mysite.This has been created by john whose age is 25.

2) This is a template

   <script type="text/template" id="template_1">
       <% _.each(items,function(item,key,arr) { %>
          <li>
             <span><%= key %></span>
             <span><%= item.name %></span>
             <span><%= item.type %></span>
           </li>
       <% }); %>
   </script>

This is html

<div>
  <ul id="list_2"></ul>
</div>

This is the javascript code which contains json object and putting template into html

   var items = [
       {
          name:"name1",
          type:"type1"
       },
       {
          name:"name1",
          type:"type1"
       },
       {
          name:"name1",
          type:"type1"
       },
       {
          name:"name1",
          type:"type1"
       },
       {
          name:"name1",
          type:"type1"
       } 
   ];
  $(document).ready(function(){
      var template = $("#template_1").html();
      $("#list_2").html(_.template(template,{items:items}));
  });

How do I test axios in Jest?

For those looking to use axios-mock-adapter in place of the mockfetch example in the Redux documentation for async testing, I successfully used the following:

File actions.test.js:

describe('SignInUser', () => {
  var history = {
    push: function(str) {
        expect(str).toEqual('/feed');
    }
  }

  it('Dispatches authorization', () => {
    let mock = new MockAdapter(axios);
    mock.onPost(`${ROOT_URL}/auth/signin`, {
        email: '[email protected]',
        password: 'test'
    }).reply(200, {token: 'testToken' });

    const expectedActions = [ { type: types.AUTH_USER } ];
    const store = mockStore({ auth: [] });

    return store.dispatch(actions.signInUser({
        email: '[email protected]',
        password: 'test',
      }, history)).then(() => {
        expect(store.getActions()).toEqual(expectedActions);
  });

});

In order to test a successful case for signInUser in file actions/index.js:

export const signInUser = ({ email, password }, history) => async dispatch => {
  const res = await axios.post(`${ROOT_URL}/auth/signin`, { email, password })
    .catch(({ response: { data } }) => {
        ...
  });

  if (res) {
    dispatch({ type: AUTH_USER });                 // Test verified this
    localStorage.setItem('token', res.data.token); // Test mocked this
    history.push('/feed');                         // Test mocked this
  }
}

Given that this is being done with jest, the localstorage call had to be mocked. This was in file src/setupTests.js:

const localStorageMock = {
  removeItem: jest.fn(),
  getItem: jest.fn(),
  setItem: jest.fn(),
  clear: jest.fn()
};
global.localStorage = localStorageMock;

Change Primary Key

Assuming that your table name is city and your existing Primary Key is pk_city, you should be able to do the following:

ALTER TABLE city
DROP CONSTRAINT pk_city;

ALTER TABLE city
ADD CONSTRAINT pk_city PRIMARY KEY (city_id, buildtime, time);

Make sure that there are no records where time is NULL, otherwise you won't be able to re-create the constraint.

Rounding SQL DateTime to midnight

You could round down the time.

Using ROUND below will round it down to midnight.

Python safe method to get value of nested dictionary

An adaptation of unutbu's answer that I found useful in my own code:

example_dict.setdefaut('key1', {}).get('key2')

It generates a dictionary entry for key1 if it does not have that key already so that you avoid the KeyError. If you want to end up a nested dictionary that includes that key pairing anyway like I did, this seems like the easiest solution.

Convert INT to DATETIME (SQL)

Try this:

How to set a CMake option() at command line

this works for me:

JavaScript closure inside loops – simple practical example

What you need to understand is the scope of the variables in javascript is based on the function. This is an important difference than say c# where you have block scope, and just copying the variable to one inside the for will work.

Wrapping it in a function that evaluates returning the function like apphacker's answer will do the trick, as the variable now has the function scope.

There is also a let keyword instead of var, that would allow using the block scope rule. In that case defining a variable inside the for would do the trick. That said, the let keyword isn't a practical solution because of compatibility.

_x000D_
_x000D_
var funcs = {};_x000D_
_x000D_
for (var i = 0; i < 3; i++) {_x000D_
  let index = i; //add this_x000D_
  funcs[i] = function() {_x000D_
    console.log("My value: " + index); //change to the copy_x000D_
  };_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
for (var j = 0; j < 3; j++) {_x000D_
  funcs[j]();_x000D_
}
_x000D_

Getting the screen resolution using PHP

You can set window width in cookies using JS in front end and you can get it in PHP:

<script type="text/javascript">
   document.cookie = 'window_width='+window.innerWidth+'; expires=Fri, 3 Aug 2901 20:47:11 UTC; path=/';
</script>

<?PHP
    $_COOKIE['window_width'];

How do I UPDATE a row in a table or INSERT it if it doesn't exist?

SQLite supports replacing a row if it already exists:

INSERT OR REPLACE INTO [...blah...]

You can shorten this to

REPLACE INTO [...blah...]

This shortcut was added to be compatible with the MySQL REPLACE INTO expression.

Why does visual studio 2012 not find my tests?

Since none of these answers deal with the cause I encountered, for this problem, I will add my answer here as well.

In my case, it was a copy pasting code problem. We had a TestProjectA where there are specific type of tests that we want to pull out to its own test project - TestProjectB. The problem now was that, while tests in TestProjectA continue to show up just fine, the tests in the new TestProjectB aren't showing up in VS Test Explorer - unless you specifically build TestProjectB or manually right click on a test there and run it.

The cause was that in copy pasting the code over, some namespaces didn't get updated:

  • There is a TestMethodA() in TestClassA in namespace TestProjectA.ModuleA with filepath \TestProjectA\TestClassA.cs
  • As well as a TestMethodA() in TestClassB in namespace TestProjectA.ModuleA with filepath \TestProjectB\TestClassB.cs

So visual Studio prints out a message in Output window that the TestId for these two are the same, and proceeds to show TestProjectA and not TestProjectB in Test Explorer due to the TestId clashing between the two projects. Correcting the namespace to TestProjectB.ModuleB for \TestProjectB\TestClassB.cs fixed the issue.

Gradle build without tests

The accepted answer is the correct one.

OTOH, the way I previously solved this was to add the following to all projects:

test.onlyIf { ! Boolean.getBoolean('skip.tests') }

Run the build with -Dskip.tests=true and all test tasks will be skipped.

Making a UITableView scroll when text field is selected

If you use Three20, then use the autoresizesForKeyboard property. Just set in the your view controller's -initWithNibName:bundle method

self.autoresizesForKeyboard = YES

This takes care of:

  1. Listening for keyboard notifications and adjusting the table view's frame
  2. Scrolling to the first responder

Done and done.

Creating a Custom Event

Declare the class containing the event:

class MyClass {
    public event EventHandler MyEvent;

    public void Method() {
        OnEvent();
    }

    private void OnEvent() {
        if (MyEvent != null) {
            MyEvent(this, EventArgs.Empty);
        }
    }
}

Use it like this:

MyClass myObject = new MyClass();
myObject.MyEvent += new EventHandler(myObject_MyEvent);
myObject.Method();

How to set time to midnight for current day?

You can use the Date property of the DateTime object - eg

DateTime midnight = DateTime.Now.Date;

So your code example becomes

private DateTime _Begin = DateTime.Now.Date;
public DateTime Begin { get { return _Begin; } set { _Begin = value; } }

PS. going back to your original code setting the hours to 12 will give you time of noon for the current day, so instead you could have used 0...

var now = DateTime.Now;
new DateTime(now.Year, now.Month, now.Day, 0, 0, 0);

how to convert long date value to mm/dd/yyyy format

Refer Below code which give the date in String form.

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;



public class Test{

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        long val = 1346524199000l;
        Date date=new Date(val);
        SimpleDateFormat df2 = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yy");
        String dateText = df2.format(date);
        System.out.println(dateText);
    }
}

How to vertically align text in input type="text"?

I found this question while looking for a solution to my own problem. The previous answers rely on padding to make the text appear at the top or bottom of the input or use a combination of height and line-height to align the text to the vertical middle.

Here is an alternative solution to making the text appear in the middle using a div and positioning. Check out the jsfiddle.

<style type="text/css">
    div {
        display: inline-block;
        height: 300px;
        position: relative;
        width: 500px;
    }

    input {
        height: 100%;
        position: absolute;
        text-align: center; /* Optional */
        width: 100%;
    }
</style>

<div>
    <input type="text" value="Hello world!" />
</div>

Build android release apk on Phonegap 3.x CLI

Following up to @steven-anderson you can also configure passwords inside the ant.properties, so the process can be fully automated

so if you put in platform\android\ant.properties the following

key.store=../../yourCertificate.jks
key.store.password=notSoSecretPassword
key.alias=userAlias
key.alias.password=notSoSecretPassword

Call Jquery function

To call the function on click of some html element (control).

$('#controlID').click(myFunction);

You will need to ensure you bind the event when your html element is ready on which you binding the event. You can put the code in document.ready

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('#controlID').click(myFunction);
});

You can use anonymous function to bind the event to the html element.

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('#controlID').click(function(){
         $.messager.show({  
            title:'My Title',  
            msg:'The message content',  
            showType:'fade',  
            style:{  
                right:'',  
                bottom:''  
            }  
        });  
    });
});

If you want to bind click with many elements you can use class selector

$('.someclass').click(myFunction);

Edit based on comments by OP, If you want to call function under some condition

You can use if for conditional execution, for example,

if(a == 3)
     myFunction();

django MultiValueDictKeyError error, how do I deal with it

You get that because you're trying to get a key from a dictionary when it's not there. You need to test if it is in there first.

try:

is_private = 'is_private' in request.POST

or

is_private = 'is_private' in request.POST and request.POST['is_private']

depending on the values you're using.

What does the 'export' command do?

In simple terms, environment variables are set when you open a new shell session. At any time if you change any of the variable values, the shell has no way of picking that change. that means the changes you made become effective in new shell sessions. The export command, on the other hand, provides the ability to update the current shell session about the change you made to the exported variable. You don't have to wait until new shell session to use the value of the variable you changed.

How do you detect where two line segments intersect?

Here's a basic implementation of a line segment in C#, with corresponding intersection detection code. It requires a 2D vector/point struct called Vector2f, though you can replace this with any other type that has X/Y properties. You could also replace float with double if that suits your needs better.

This code is used in my .NET physics library, Boing.

public struct LineSegment2f
{
    public Vector2f From { get; }
    public Vector2f To { get; }

    public LineSegment2f(Vector2f @from, Vector2f to)
    {
        From = @from;
        To = to;
    }

    public Vector2f Delta => new Vector2f(To.X - From.X, To.Y - From.Y);

    /// <summary>
    /// Attempt to intersect two line segments.
    /// </summary>
    /// <remarks>
    /// Even if the line segments do not intersect, <paramref name="t"/> and <paramref name="u"/> will be set.
    /// If the lines are parallel, <paramref name="t"/> and <paramref name="u"/> are set to <see cref="float.NaN"/>.
    /// </remarks>
    /// <param name="other">The line to attempt intersection of this line with.</param>
    /// <param name="intersectionPoint">The point of intersection if within the line segments, or empty..</param>
    /// <param name="t">The distance along this line at which intersection would occur, or NaN if lines are collinear/parallel.</param>
    /// <param name="u">The distance along the other line at which intersection would occur, or NaN if lines are collinear/parallel.</param>
    /// <returns><c>true</c> if the line segments intersect, otherwise <c>false</c>.</returns>
    public bool TryIntersect(LineSegment2f other, out Vector2f intersectionPoint, out float t, out float u)
    {
        var p = From;
        var q = other.From;
        var r = Delta;
        var s = other.Delta;

        // t = (q - p) × s / (r × s)
        // u = (q - p) × r / (r × s)

Is there a splice method for strings?

Louis's spliceSlice method fails when add value is 0 or other falsy values, here is a fix:

function spliceSlice(str, index, count, add) {
  if (index < 0) {
    index = str.length + index;
    if (index < 0) {
      index = 0;
    }
  }
  const hasAdd = typeof add !== 'undefined';
  return str.slice(0, index) + (hasAdd ? add : '') + str.slice(index + count);
}

Where are logs located?

In Laravel 6, by default the logs are in:

Radio/checkbox alignment in HTML/CSS

I wouldn't use tables for this at all. CSS can easily do this.

I would do something like this:

   <p class="clearfix">
      <input id="option1" type="radio" name="opt" />
      <label for="option1">Option 1</label>
   </p>

p { margin: 0px 0px 10px 0px; }
input { float: left; width: 50px; }
label { margin: 0px 0px 0px 10px; float: left; }

Note: I have used the clearfix class from : http://www.positioniseverything.net/easyclearing.html

.clearfix:after {
    content: ".";
    display: block;
    height: 0;
    clear: both;
    visibility: hidden;
}

.clearfix {display: inline-block;}

/* Hides from IE-mac \*/
* html .clearfix {height: 1%;}
.clearfix {display: block;}
/* End hide from IE-mac */

Using Java 8's Optional with Stream::flatMap

Late to the party, but what about

things.stream()
    .map(this::resolve)
    .filter(Optional::isPresent)
    .findFirst().get();

You can get rid of the last get() if you create a util method to convert optional to stream manually:

things.stream()
    .map(this::resolve)
    .flatMap(Util::optionalToStream)
    .findFirst();

If you return stream right away from your resolve function, you save one more line.

How to compile the finished C# project and then run outside Visual Studio?

I'm using Visual Studio 2017.

  1. Go to dropdown box build.
  2. Choose Pubish Guessing Game (or whatever your project is called.
  3. Wiz Box opens so tell it where to publish it and click Next.
  4. Choose how to install (I usually choose CD-ROM). click Next.
  5. Choose updates check (I usually choose no check) click Next.
  6. Click Finish

It will publish, complete with setup file to the location you specified.

Hope this helps

Search text in fields in every table of a MySQL database

You can peek into the information_schema schema. It has a list of all tables and all fields that are in a table. You can then run queries using the information that you have gotten from this table.

The tables involved are SCHEMATA, TABLES and COLUMNS. There are foreign keys such that you can build up exactly how the tables are created in a schema.

Extract file name from path, no matter what the os/path format

Here's a regex-only solution, which seems to work with any OS path on any OS.

No other module is needed, and no preprocessing is needed either :

import re

def extract_basename(path):
  """Extracts basename of a given path. Should Work with any OS Path on any OS"""
  basename = re.search(r'[^\\/]+(?=[\\/]?$)', path)
  if basename:
    return basename.group(0)


paths = ['a/b/c/', 'a/b/c', '\\a\\b\\c', '\\a\\b\\c\\', 'a\\b\\c',
         'a/b/../../a/b/c/', 'a/b/../../a/b/c']

print([extract_basename(path) for path in paths])
# ['c', 'c', 'c', 'c', 'c', 'c', 'c']


extra_paths = ['C:\\', 'alone', '/a/space in filename', 'C:\\multi\nline']

print([extract_basename(path) for path in extra_paths])
# ['C:', 'alone', 'space in filename', 'multi\nline']

Update:

If you only want a potential filename, if present (i.e., /a/b/ is a dir and so is c:\windows\), change the regex to: r'[^\\/]+(?![\\/])$' . For the "regex challenged," this changes the positive forward lookahead for some sort of slash to a negative forward lookahead, causing pathnames that end with said slash to return nothing instead of the last sub-directory in the pathname. Of course there is no guarantee that the potential filename actually refers to a file and for that os.path.is_dir() or os.path.is_file() would need to be employed.

This will match as follows:

/a/b/c/             # nothing, pathname ends with the dir 'c'
c:\windows\         # nothing, pathname ends with the dir 'windows'
c:hello.txt         # matches potential filename 'hello.txt'
~it_s_me/.bashrc    # matches potential filename '.bashrc'
c:\windows\system32 # matches potential filename 'system32', except
                    # that is obviously a dir. os.path.is_dir()
                    # should be used to tell us for sure

The regex can be tested here.

SQL keys, MUL vs PRI vs UNI

Walkthough on what is MUL, PRI and UNI in MySQL?

From the MySQL 5.7 documentation:

  • If Key is PRI, the column is a PRIMARY KEY or is one of the columns in a multiple-column PRIMARY KEY.
  • If Key is UNI, the column is the first column of a UNIQUE index. (A UNIQUE index permits multiple NULL values, but you can tell whether the column permits NULL by checking the Null field.)
  • If Key is MUL, the column is the first column of a nonunique index in which multiple occurrences of a given value are permitted within the column.

Live Examples

Control group, this example has neither PRI, MUL, nor UNI:

mysql> create table penguins (foo INT);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

mysql> desc penguins;
+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type    | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| foo   | int(11) | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

A table with one column and an index on the one column has a MUL:

mysql> create table penguins (foo INT, index(foo));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

mysql> desc penguins;
+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type    | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| foo   | int(11) | YES  | MUL | NULL    |       |
+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

A table with a column that is a primary key has PRI

mysql> create table penguins (foo INT primary key);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.02 sec)

mysql> desc penguins;
+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type    | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| foo   | int(11) | NO   | PRI | NULL    |       |
+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

A table with a column that is a unique key has UNI:

mysql> create table penguins (foo INT unique);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

mysql> desc penguins;
+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type    | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| foo   | int(11) | YES  | UNI | NULL    |       |
+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

A table with an index covering foo and bar has MUL only on foo:

mysql> create table penguins (foo INT, bar INT, index(foo, bar));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

mysql> desc penguins;
+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type    | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| foo   | int(11) | YES  | MUL | NULL    |       |
| bar   | int(11) | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

A table with two separate indexes on two columns has MUL for each one

mysql> create table penguins (foo INT, bar int, index(foo), index(bar));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

mysql> desc penguins;
+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type    | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| foo   | int(11) | YES  | MUL | NULL    |       |
| bar   | int(11) | YES  | MUL | NULL    |       |
+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

A table with an Index spanning three columns has MUL on the first:

mysql> create table penguins (foo INT, 
       bar INT, 
       baz INT, 
       INDEX name (foo, bar, baz));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

mysql> desc penguins;
+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type    | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| foo   | int(11) | YES  | MUL | NULL    |       |
| bar   | int(11) | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
| baz   | int(11) | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

A table with a foreign key that references another table's primary key is MUL

mysql> create table penguins(id int primary key);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

mysql> create table skipper(id int, foreign key(id) references penguins(id));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

mysql> desc skipper;
+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type    | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| id    | int(11) | YES  | MUL | NULL    |       |
+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> desc penguins;
+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type    | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| id    | int(11) | NO   | PRI | NULL    |       |
+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Stick that in your neocortex and set the dial to "frappe".

SQL Server: SELECT only the rows with MAX(DATE)

The best way is Mikael Eriksson, if ROW_NUMBER() is available to you.

The next best is to join on a query, as per Cularis' answer.

Alternatively, the most simple and straight forward way is a correlated-sub-query in the WHERE clause.

SELECT
  *
FROM
  yourTable AS [data]
WHERE
  DateEntered = (SELECT MAX(DateEntered) FROM yourTable WHERE orderNo = [data].orderNo)

Or...

WHERE
  ID = (SELECT TOP 1 ID FROM yourTable WHERE orderNo = [data].orderNo ORDER BY DateEntered DESC)

How can I get a specific parameter from location.search?

I used a variant of Alex's - but needed to to convert the param appearing multiple times to an array. There seem to be many options. I didn't want rely on another library for something this simple. I suppose one of the other options posted here may be better - I adapted Alex's because of the straight forwardness.

parseQueryString = function() {
    var str = window.location.search;
    var objURL = {};

    // local isArray - defer to underscore, as we are already using the lib
    var isArray = _.isArray

    str.replace(
        new RegExp( "([^?=&]+)(=([^&]*))?", "g" ),
        function( $0, $1, $2, $3 ){

            if(objURL[ $1 ] && !isArray(objURL[ $1 ])){
                // if there parameter occurs more than once, convert to an array on 2nd
                var first = objURL[ $1 ]
                objURL[ $1 ] = [first, $3]
            } else if(objURL[ $1 ] && isArray(objURL[ $1 ])){
                // if there parameter occurs more than once, add to array after 2nd
                objURL[ $1 ].push($3)
            }
            else
            {
                // this is the first instance
                objURL[ $1 ] = $3;
            }

        }
    );
    return objURL;
};

how to loop through rows columns in excel VBA Macro

I'd recommend the Range object's AutoFill method for this:

rngSource.AutoFill Destination:=rngDest

Specify the Source range that contains the values or formulas you want to fill down, and the Destination range as the whole range that you want the cells filled to. The Destination range must include the Source range. You can fill across as well as down.

It works exactly the same way as it would if you manually "dragged" the cells at the corner with the mouse; absolute and relative formulas work as expected.

Here's an example:

'Set some example values'
Range("A1").Value = "1"
Range("B1").Formula = "=NOW()"
Range("C1").Formula = "=B1+A1"

'AutoFill the values / formulas to row 20'
Range("A1:C1").AutoFill Destination:=Range("A1:C20")

Hope this helps.

Chrome / Safari not filling 100% height of flex parent

For Mobile Safari There is a Browser fix. you need to add -webkit-box for iOS devices.

Ex.

display: flex;
display: -webkit-box;
flex-direction: column;
-webkit-box-orient: vertical;
-webkit-box-direction: normal;
-webkit-flex-direction: column;
align-items: stretch;

if you're using align-items: stretch; property for parent element, remove the height : 100% from the child element.

Jmeter - get current date and time

Use __time function:

  • ${__time(dd/MM/yyyy,)}

  • ${__time(hh:mm a,)}

Since JMeter 3.3, there are two new functions that let you compute a time:

__timeShift

  "The timeShift function returns a date in the given format with the specified amount of seconds, minutes, hours, days or months added" and 

__RandomDate

  "The RandomDate function returns a random date that lies between the given start date and end date values." 

Since JMeter 4.0:

dateTimeConvert

Convert a date or time from source to target format

If you're looking to learn jmeter correctly, this book will help you.

MySQL: Invalid use of group function

First, the error you're getting is due to where you're using the COUNT function -- you can't use an aggregate (or group) function in the WHERE clause.

Second, instead of using a subquery, simply join the table to itself:

SELECT a.pid 
FROM Catalog as a LEFT JOIN Catalog as b USING( pid )
WHERE a.sid != b.sid
GROUP BY a.pid

Which I believe should return only rows where at least two rows exist with the same pid but there is are at least 2 sids. To make sure you get back only one row per pid I've applied a grouping clause.

Retrieving Property name from lambda expression

Starting with .NET 4.0 you can use ExpressionVisitor to find properties:

class ExprVisitor : ExpressionVisitor {
    public bool IsFound { get; private set; }
    public string MemberName { get; private set; }
    public Type MemberType { get; private set; }
    protected override Expression VisitMember(MemberExpression node) {
        if (!IsFound && node.Member.MemberType == MemberTypes.Property) {
            IsFound = true;
            MemberName = node.Member.Name;
            MemberType = node.Type;
        }
        return base.VisitMember(node);
    }
}

Here is how you use this visitor:

var visitor = new ExprVisitor();
visitor.Visit(expr);
if (visitor.IsFound) {
    Console.WriteLine("First property in the expression tree: Name={0}, Type={1}", visitor.MemberName, visitor.MemberType.FullName);
} else {
    Console.WriteLine("No properties found.");
}

How to identify if a webpage is being loaded inside an iframe or directly into the browser window?

This ended being the simplest solution for me.

if(window.self !== window.top) {

//run this code if in an iframe
document.getElementById("demofsdfsdfs").innerHTML = "in frame";

}else{

//run code if not in an iframe
document.getElementById("demofsdfsdfs").innerHTML = "no frame";
}

</script>

Recursive sub folder search and return files in a list python

Changed in Python 3.5: Support for recursive globs using “**”.

glob.glob() got a new recursive parameter.

If you want to get every .txt file under my_path (recursively including subdirs):

import glob

files = glob.glob(my_path + '/**/*.txt', recursive=True)

# my_path/     the dir
# **/       every file and dir under my_path
# *.txt     every file that ends with '.txt'

If you need an iterator you can use iglob as an alternative:

for file in glob.iglob(my_path, recursive=False):
    # ...

Python: "Indentation Error: unindent does not match any outer indentation level"

It's possible that you have mixed tabs and spaces in your file. You can have python help check for such errors with

python -m tabnanny <name of python file>

post your complete string. Though, my guess is there is an apostrophe (') character in your string. replace it with (\') and it will fix the issue. for example,

Submitting HTML form using Jquery AJAX

Quick Description of AJAX

AJAX is simply Asyncronous JSON or XML (in most newer situations JSON). Because we are doing an ASYNC task we will likely be providing our users with a more enjoyable UI experience. In this specific case we are doing a FORM submission using AJAX.

Really quickly there are 4 general web actions GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE; these directly correspond with SELECT/Retreiving DATA, INSERTING DATA, UPDATING/UPSERTING DATA, and DELETING DATA. A default HTML/ASP.Net webform/PHP/Python or any other form action is to "submit" which is a POST action. Because of this the below will all describe doing a POST. Sometimes however with http you might want a different action and would likely want to utilitize .ajax.

My code specifically for you (described in code comments):

_x000D_
_x000D_
/* attach a submit handler to the form */
$("#formoid").submit(function(event) {

  /* stop form from submitting normally */
  event.preventDefault();

  /* get the action attribute from the <form action=""> element */
  var $form = $(this),
    url = $form.attr('action');

  /* Send the data using post with element id name and name2*/
  var posting = $.post(url, {
    name: $('#name').val(),
    name2: $('#name2').val()
  });

  /* Alerts the results */
  posting.done(function(data) {
    $('#result').text('success');
  });
  posting.fail(function() {
    $('#result').text('failed');
  });
});
_x000D_

Create line after text with css

I am not experienced at all so feel free to correct things. However, I tried all these answers, but always had a problem in some screen. So I tried the following that worked for me and looks as I want it in almost all screens with the exception of mobile.

<div class="wrapper">
   <div id="Section-Title">
     <div id="h2"> YOUR TITLE
        <div id="line"><hr></div>
     </div>
   </div>
</div>

CSS:

.wrapper{
background:#fff;
max-width:100%;
margin:20px auto;
padding:50px 5%;}

#Section-Title{
margin: 2% auto;
width:98%;
overflow: hidden;}

#h2{
float:left;
width:100%;
position:relative;
z-index:1;
font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:1.5vw;}

#h2 #line {
display:inline-block;
float:right;
margin:auto;
margin-left:10px;
width:90%;
position:absolute;
top:-5%;}

#Section-Title:after{content:""; display:block; clear:both; }
.wrapper:after{content:""; display:block; clear:both; }

List<T> or IList<T>

You would because defining an IList or an ICollection would open up for other implementations of your interfaces.

You might want to have an IOrderRepository that defines a collection of orders in either a IList or ICollection. You could then have different kinds of implementations to provide a list of orders as long as they conform to "rules" defined by your IList or ICollection.

XML string to XML document

Using Linq to xml

Add a reference to System.Xml.Linq

and use

XDocument.Parse(string xmlString)

Edit: Sample follows, xml data (TestConfig.xml)..

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Tests>
  <Test TestId="0001" TestType="CMD">
    <Name>Convert number to string</Name>
    <CommandLine>Examp1.EXE</CommandLine>
    <Input>1</Input>
    <Output>One</Output>
  </Test>
  <Test TestId="0002" TestType="CMD">
    <Name>Find succeeding characters</Name>
    <CommandLine>Examp2.EXE</CommandLine>
    <Input>abc</Input>
    <Output>def</Output>
  </Test>
  <Test TestId="0003" TestType="GUI">
    <Name>Convert multiple numbers to strings</Name>
    <CommandLine>Examp2.EXE /Verbose</CommandLine>
    <Input>123</Input>
    <Output>One Two Three</Output>
  </Test>
  <Test TestId="0004" TestType="GUI">
    <Name>Find correlated key</Name>
    <CommandLine>Examp3.EXE</CommandLine>
    <Input>a1</Input>
    <Output>b1</Output>
  </Test>
  <Test TestId="0005" TestType="GUI">
    <Name>Count characters</Name>
    <CommandLine>FinalExamp.EXE</CommandLine>
    <Input>This is a test</Input>
    <Output>14</Output>
  </Test>
  <Test TestId="0006" TestType="GUI">
    <Name>Another Test</Name>
    <CommandLine>Examp2.EXE</CommandLine>
    <Input>Test Input</Input>
    <Output>10</Output>
  </Test>
</Tests>

C# usage...

XElement root = XElement.Load("TestConfig.xml");
IEnumerable<XElement> tests =
    from el in root.Elements("Test")
    where (string)el.Element("CommandLine") == "Examp2.EXE"
    select el;
foreach (XElement el in tests)
    Console.WriteLine((string)el.Attribute("TestId"));

This code produces the following output: 0002 0006

Python: SyntaxError: keyword can't be an expression

I guess many of us who came to this page have a problem with Scikit Learn, one way to solve it is to create a dictionary with parameters and pass it to the model:

params = {'C': 1e9, 'gamma': 1e-07}
cls = SVC(**params)    

Open directory using C

Some feedback on the segment of code, though for the most part, it should work...

void main(int c,char **args)
  • int main - the standard defines main as returning an int.
  • c and args are typically named argc and argv, respectfully, but you are allowed to name them anything

...

{
DIR *dir;
struct dirent *dent;
char buffer[50];
strcpy(buffer,args[1]);
  • You have a buffer overflow here: If args[1] is longer than 50 bytes, buffer will not be able to hold it, and you will write to memory that you shouldn't. There's no reason I can see to copy the buffer here, so you can sidestep these issues by just not using strcpy...

...

dir=opendir(buffer);   //this part

If this returning NULL, it can be for a few reasons:

  • The directory didn't exist. (Did you type it right? Did it have a space in it, and you typed ./your_program my directory, which will fail, because it tries to opendir("my"))
  • You lack permissions to the directory
  • There's insufficient memory. (This is unlikely.)

Parsing time string in Python

In [117]: datetime.datetime.strptime?
Type:           builtin_function_or_method
Base Class:     <type 'builtin_function_or_method'>
String Form:    <built-in method strptime of type object at 0x9a2520>
Namespace:      Interactive
Docstring:
    string, format -> new datetime parsed from a string (like time.strptime()).

TypeError: cannot perform reduce with flexible type

When your are trying to apply prod on string type of value like:

['-214' '-153' '-58' ..., '36' '191' '-37']

you will get the error.

Solution: Append only integer value like [1,2,3], and you will get your expected output.

If the value is in string format before appending then, in the array you can convert the type into int type and store it in a list.

Using ADB to capture the screen

Using some of the knowledge from this and a couple of other posts, I found the method that worked the best for me was to:

adb shell 'stty raw; screencap -p'

I have posted a very simple Python script on GitHub that essentially mirrors the screen of a device connected over ADB:

applying css to specific li class

The CSS you have applies color #c1c1c1 to all <a> elements.

And it also applies color #c1c1c1 to the first <li> element.

Perhaps the code you posted is missing something because I don't see any other colors being defined.

Easy way to prevent Heroku idling?

You can install the free New Relic add-on. It has an availability monitor feature that will ping your site twice per minute, thus preventing the dyno from idling.

More or less the same solution as Jesse but maybe more integrated to Heroku... And with a few perks (performance monitoring is just great).

Availability monitoring

Note: to all those saying it doesn't work: the important part in my answer is "availability monitor". Just installing the addon won't help. You also need to setup the availability monitoring with the URL of your heroku app.

How do I search an SQL Server database for a string?

Here is how you can search the database in Swift using the FMDB library.

First, go to this link and add this to your project: FMDB. When you have done that, then here is how you do it. For example, you have a table called Person, and you have firstName and secondName and you want to find data by first name, here is a code for that:

    func loadDataByfirstName(firstName : String, completion: @escaping CompletionHandler){
    if isDatabaseOpened {
        let query = "select * from Person where firstName like '\(firstName)'"
        do {
            let results = try database.executeQuery(query, values: [firstName])
            while results.next() {
                let firstName = results.string(forColumn: "firstName") ?? ""
                let lastName = results.string(forColumn: "lastName") ?? ""
                let newPerson = Person(firstName: firstName, lastName: lastName)
                self.persons.append(newPerson)
            }
            completion(true)
        }catch let err {
            completion(false)
            print(err.localizedDescription)
        }
        database.close()
    }
}

Then in your ViewController you will write this to find the person detail you are looking for:

  override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
     super.viewWillAppear(animated)
      SQLManager.instance.openDatabase { (success) in
        if success {
            SQLManager.instance.loadDataByfirstName(firstName: "Hardi") { (success) in
                if success {
                    // You have your data Here
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

What are .NET Assemblies?

An assembly is a collection of types and resources that forms a logical unit of functionality. All types in the .NET Framework must exist in assemblies; the common language runtime does not support types outside of assemblies. Each time you create a Microsoft Windows® Application, Windows Service, Class Library, or other application with Visual Basic .NET, you're building a single assembly. Each assembly is stored as an .exe or .dll file.

Source : https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms973231.aspx#assenamesp_topic4

For those with Java background like me hope following diagram clarifies concepts -

Assemblies are just like jar files (containing multiple .class files). Your code can reference an existing assemblie or you code itself can be published as an assemblie for other code to reference and use (you can think this as jar files in Java that you can add in your project dependencies).

At the end of the day an assembly is a compiled code that can be run on any operating system with CLR installed. This is same as saying .class file or bundled jar can run on any machine with JVM installed.

What is the difference between x86 and x64

x86 is a family of backward-compatible instruction set architectures based on the Intel 8086 CPU and its Intel 8088 variant.

An instruction set architecture (ISA) is an abstract model of a computer. It is also referred to as architecture or computer architecture.

A realization of an ISA is called an implementation. An ISA permits multiple implementations that may vary in performance, physical size, and monetary cost (among other things); because the ISA serves as the interface between software and hardware.

Software that has been written for an ISA can run on different implementations of the same ISA (Exp: 32bit or 64bit). This has enabled binary compatibility between different generations of computers to be easily achieved, and the development of computer families.

Both of these developments have helped to lower the cost of computers and to increase their applicability. For these reasons, the ISA is one of the most important abstractions in computing today.

Insert text into textarea with jQuery

What you ask for should be reasonably straightforward in jQuery-

$(function() {
    $('#myAnchorId').click(function() { 
        var areaValue = $('#area').val();
        $('#area').val(areaValue + 'Whatever you want to enter');
    });
});

The best way that I can think of highlighting inserted text is by wrapping it in a span with a CSS class with background-color set to the color of your choice. On the next insert, you could remove the class from any existing spans (or strip the spans out).

However, There are plenty of free WYSIWYG HTML/Rich Text editors available on the market, I'm sure one will fit your needs

python tuple to dict

If there are multiple values for the same key, the following code will append those values to a list corresponding to their key,

d = dict()
for x,y in t:
    if(d.has_key(y)):
        d[y].append(x)
    else:
        d[y] = [x]

How do I install g++ for Fedora?

Just make a sample 'Hello World' Program and try to compile it using "g++ sam.cpp" in terminal, and it will ask you if you wish to download the g++ package. Press y to install.

How to write a SQL DELETE statement with a SELECT statement in the WHERE clause?

Shouldn't you have:

DELETE FROM tableA WHERE entitynum IN (...your select...)

Now you just have a WHERE with no comparison:

DELETE FROM tableA WHERE (...your select...)

So your final query would look like this;

DELETE FROM tableA WHERE entitynum IN (
    SELECT tableA.entitynum FROM tableA q
      INNER JOIN tableB u on (u.qlabel = q.entityrole AND u.fieldnum = q.fieldnum) 
    WHERE (LENGTH(q.memotext) NOT IN (8,9,10) OR q.memotext NOT LIKE '%/%/%')
      AND (u.FldFormat = 'Date')
)

IIS: Idle Timeout vs Recycle

Idle Timeout is if no action has been asked from your web app, it the process will drop and release everything from memory

Recycle is a forced action on the application where your processed is closed and started again, for memory leaking purposes and system health

The negative impact of both is usually the use of your Session and Application state is lost if you mess with Recycle to a faster time.(logged in users etc will be logged out, if they where about to "check out" all would have been lost" that's why recycle is at such a large time out value, idle timeout doesn't matter because nobody is logged in anyway and figure 20 minutes an no action they are not still "shopping"

The positive would be get rid of the idle time out as your website will respond faster on its "first" response if its not a highly active site where a user would have to wait for it to load if you have 1 user every 20 minutes lets say. So a website that get his less then 1 time in 20 minutes actually you would want to increase this value as the website has to load up again from scratch for each user. but if you set this to 0 over a long time, any memory leaks in code could over a certain amount of time, entirely take over the server.

Resetting a setTimeout

You will have to remember the timeout "Timer", cancel it, then restart it:

g_timer = null;

$(document).ready(function() {
    startTimer();
});

function startTimer() {
    g_timer = window.setTimeout(function() {
        window.location.href = 'file.php';
    }, 115000);
}

function onClick() {
    clearTimeout(g_timer);
    startTimer();
}

How do I create a master branch in a bare Git repository?

A bare repository is pretty much something you only push to and fetch from. You cannot do much directly "in it": you cannot check stuff out, create references (branches, tags), run git status, etc.

If you want to create a new branch in a bare Git repository, you can push a branch from a clone to your bare repo:

# initialize your bare repo
$ git init --bare test-repo.git

# clone it and cd to the clone's root directory
$ git clone test-repo.git/ test-clone
Cloning into 'test-clone'...
warning: You appear to have cloned an empty repository.
done.
$ cd test-clone

# make an initial commit in the clone
$ touch README.md
$ git add . 
$ git commit -m "add README"
[master (root-commit) 65aab0e] add README
 1 file changed, 0 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)
 create mode 100644 README.md

# push to origin (i.e. your bare repo)
$ git push origin master

How can I determine whether a specific file is open in Windows?

The equivalent of lsof -p pid is the combined output from sysinternals handle and listdlls, ie

handle -p pid
listdlls -p pid

you can find out pid with sysinternals pslist.

How to hide elements without having them take space on the page?

The answer to this question is saying to use display:none and display:block, but this does not help for someone who is trying to use css transitions to show and hide content using the visibility property.

This also drove me crazy, because using display kills any css transitions.

One solution is to add this to the class that's using visibility:

overflow:hidden

For this to work is does depend on the layout, but it should keep the empty content within the div it resides in.

Vue 'export default' vs 'new Vue'

export default is used to create local registration for Vue component.

Here is a great article that explain more about components https://frontendsociety.com/why-you-shouldnt-use-vue-component-ff019fbcac2e

In Go's http package, how do I get the query string on a POST request?

Below words come from the official document.

Form contains the parsed form data, including both the URL field's query parameters and the POST or PUT form data. This field is only available after ParseForm is called.

So, sample codes as below would work.

func parseRequest(req *http.Request) error {
    var err error

    if err = req.ParseForm(); err != nil {
        log.Error("Error parsing form: %s", err)
        return err
    }

    _ = req.Form.Get("xxx")

    return nil
}

Can I compile all .cpp files in src/ to .o's in obj/, then link to binary in ./?

Wildcard works for me also, but I'd like to give a side note for those using directory variables. Always use slash for folder tree (not backslash), otherwise it will fail:

BASEDIR = ../..
SRCDIR = $(BASEDIR)/src
INSTALLDIR = $(BASEDIR)/lib

MODULES = $(wildcard $(SRCDIR)/*.cpp)
OBJS = $(wildcard *.o)

Laravel 5.2 Missing required parameters for [Route: user.profile] [URI: user/{nickname}/profile]

Route::group(['namespace' => 'User', 'prefix' => 'user'], function(){
    Route::get('{nickname}/settings', ['as' => 'user.settings', 'uses' => 'SettingsController@index']);
    Route::get('{nickname}/profile', ['as' => 'user.profile', 'uses' => 'ProfileController@index']);
});
});

Pass Multiple Parameters to jQuery ajax call

Don't use string concatenation to pass parameters, just use a data hash:

$.ajax({
    type: 'POST',
    url: 'popup.aspx/GetJewellerAssets',
    contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
    data: { jewellerId: filter, locale: 'en-US' },
    dataType: 'json',
    success: AjaxSucceeded,
    error: AjaxFailed
});

UPDATE:

As suggested by @Alex in the comments section, an ASP.NET PageMethod expects parameters to be JSON encoded in the request, so JSON.stringify should be applied on the data hash:

$.ajax({
    type: 'POST',
    url: 'popup.aspx/GetJewellerAssets',
    contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
    data: JSON.stringify({ jewellerId: filter, locale: 'en-US' }),
    dataType: 'json',
    success: AjaxSucceeded,
    error: AjaxFailed
});

How can I convert uppercase letters to lowercase in Notepad++

You could also, higlight the text you want to change, then navigate to - 'Edit' > 'Convert Case to' choose UPPERCASE or lowercase (as required).

Get properties and values from unknown object

One line solution using Linq...

var obj = new {Property1: 1, Property2: 2};
var property1 = obj.GetType().GetProperties().First(o => o.Name == "Property1").GetValue(obj , null);

get the value of input type file , and alert if empty

HTML Code

<input type="file" name="image" id="uploadImage" size="30" />
<input type="submit" name="upload"  class="send_upload" value="upload" />

jQuery Code using bind method

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#upload').bind("click",function() 
    { if(!$('#uploadImage').val()){
                alert("empty");
                return false;} });  });

Cannot access mongodb through browser - It looks like you are trying to access MongoDB over HTTP on the native driver port

MongoDB has a simple web based administrative port at 28017 by default.

There is no HTTP access at the default port of 27017 (which is what the error message is trying to suggest). The default port is used for native driver access, not HTTP traffic.

To access MongoDB, you'll need to use a driver like the MongoDB native driver for NodeJS. You won't "POST" to MongoDB directly (but you might create a RESTful API using express which uses the native drivers). Instead, you'll use a wrapper library that makes accessing MongoDB convenient. You might also consider using Mongoose (which uses the native driver) which adds an ORM-like model for MongoDB in NodeJS.

If you can't get to the web interface, it may be disabled. Normally, I wouldn't expect that you'd need it for doing development unless you're checking logs and such.

Cloudfront custom-origin distribution returns 502 "ERROR The request could not be satisfied." for some URLs

In our case, everything LOOKED ok, but it took most of the day to figure this out:

TLDR: Check your certificate paths to make sure the root certificate is correct. In the case of COMODO certificates, it should say "USERTrust" and be issued by "AddTrust External CA Root". NOT "COMODO" issued by "COMODO RSA Certification Authority".

From the CloudFront docs: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/SecureConnections.html

If the origin server returns an invalid certificate or a self-signed certificate, or if the origin server returns the certificate chain in the wrong order, CloudFront drops the TCP connection, returns HTTP error code 502, and sets the X-Cache header to Error from cloudfront.

We had the right ciphers enabled as per: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/RequestAndResponseBehaviorCustomOrigin.html#RequestCustomEncryption

Our certificate was valid according to Google, Firefox and ssl-checker: https://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html

SSL Checker result without all required certificates

However the last certificate in the ssl checker chain was "COMODO RSA Domain Validation Secure Server CA", issued by "COMODO RSA Certification Authority"

It seems that CloudFront does not hold the certificate for "COMODO RSA Certification Authority" and as such thinks the certificate provided by the origin server is self signed.

This was working for a long time before apparently suddenly stopping. What happened was I had just updated our certificates for the year, but during the import, something was changed in the certificate path for all the previous certificates. They all started referencing "COMODO RSA Certification Authority" whereas before the chain was longer and the root was "AddTrust External CA Root".

Bad certificate path

Because of this, switching back to the older cert did not fix the cloudfront issue.

I had to delete the extra certificate named "COMODO RSA Certification Authority", the one that did not reference AddTrust. After doing this, all my website certificates' paths updated to point back to AddTrust/USERTrust again. Note can also open up the bad root certificate from the path, click "Details" -> "Edit Properties" and then disable it that way. This updated the path immediately. You may also need to delete multiple copies of the certificate, found under "Personal" and "Trusted Root Certificate Authorities"

Good certificate path

Finally I had to re select the certificate in IIS to get it to serve the new certificate chain.

After all this, ssl-checker started displaying a third certificate in the chain, which pointed back to "AddTrust External CA Root"

SSL Checker with all certificates

Finally, CloudFront accepted the origin server's certificate and the provided chain as being trusted. Our CDN started working correctly again!

To prevent this happening in the future, we will need to export our newly generated certificates from a machine with the correct certificate chain, i.e. distrust or delete the certificate "COMODO RSA Certification Authroity" issued by "COMODO RSA Certification Authroity" (expiring in 2038). This only seems to affect windows machines, where this certificate is installed by default.

Wait 5 seconds before executing next line

Here's a solution using the new async/await syntax.

Be sure to check browser support as this is a language feature introduced with ECMAScript 6.

Utility function:

const delay = ms => new Promise(res => setTimeout(res, ms));

Usage:

const yourFunction = async () => {
  await delay(5000);
  console.log("Waited 5s");

  await delay(5000);
  console.log("Waited an additional 5s");
};

The advantage of this approach is that it makes your code look and behave like synchronous code.

How to var_dump variables in twig templates?

If you are using Twig in your application as a component you can do this:

$twig = new Twig_Environment($loader, array(
    'autoescape' => false
));

$twig->addFilter('var_dump', new Twig_Filter_Function('var_dump'));

Then in your templates:

{{ my_variable | var_dump }}

MySQL TEXT vs BLOB vs CLOB

It's worth to mention that CLOB / BLOB data types and their sizes are supported by MySQL 5.0+, so you can choose the proper data type for your need.

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/storage-requirements.html

Data Type   Date Type   Storage Required
(CLOB)      (BLOB)

TINYTEXT    TINYBLOB    L + 1 bytes, where L < 2**8  (255)
TEXT        BLOB        L + 2 bytes, where L < 2**16 (64 K)
MEDIUMTEXT  MEDIUMBLOB  L + 3 bytes, where L < 2**24 (16 MB)
LONGTEXT    LONGBLOB    L + 4 bytes, where L < 2**32 (4 GB)

where L stands for the byte length of a string

Apache Tomcat Not Showing in Eclipse Server Runtime Environments

In my case I needed to install "JST Server Adapters". I am running Eclipse 3.6 Helios RCP Edition.

Here are the steps I followed:

  1. Help -> Install New Software
  2. Choose "Helios - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios" site or kepler - http://download.ecliplse.org/releases/kepler
  3. Expand "Web, XML, and Java EE Development"
  4. Check JST Server Adapters (version 3.2.2)

After that I could define new Server Runtime Environments.

EDIT: With Eclipse 3.7 Indigo Classic, Eclipse Kepler and Luna, the steps are the same (with appropriate update site) but you need both JST Server Adapters and JST Server Adapters Extentions to get the Server Runtime Environment options.

How can I specify system properties in Tomcat configuration on startup?

cliff.meyers's original answer that suggested using <env-entry> will not help when using only System.getProperty()

According to the Tomcat 6.0 docs <env-entry> is for JNDI. So that means it won't have any effect on System.getProperty().

With the <env-entry> from cliff.meyers's example, the following code

System.getProperty("SMTP_PASSWORD");

will return null, not the value "abc123ftw".

According to the Tomcat 6 docs, to use <env-entry> you'd have to write code like this to use <env-entry>:

// Obtain our environment naming context
Context initCtx = new InitialContext();
Context envCtx = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env");

// Look up our data source
String s = (String)envCtx.lookup("SMTP_PASSWORD");

Caveat: I have not actually tried the example above. But I have tried <env-entry> with System.getProperty(), and that definitely does not work.

jquery toggle slide from left to right and back

Use this...

$('#cat_icon').click(function () {
    $('#categories').toggle("slow");
    //$('#cat_icon').hide();
});
$('.panel_title').click(function () {
    $('#categories').toggle("slow");
    //$('#cat_icon').show();
});

Appending the same string to a list of strings in Python

Updating with more options

list1 = ['foo', 'fob', 'faz', 'funk']
addstring = 'bar'
for index, value in enumerate(list1):
    list1[index] = addstring + value #this will prepend the string
    #list1[index] = value + addstring this will append the string

Avoid using keywords as variables like 'list', renamed 'list' as 'list1' instead

ipad safari: disable scrolling, and bounce effect?

For those who are using MyScript the Web App and are struggling with the body scrolling/dragging (on iPad and Tablets) instead of actually writing:

<body touch-action="none" unresolved>

That fixed it for me.

How to get parameters from the URL with JSP

example you wanted to delete the subject record with its subject_id

@RequestMapping(value="subject_setup/delete/{subjectid}",method = RequestMethod.GET)
public ModelAndView delete(@PathVariable int subjectid) {
    subjectsDao.delete(subjectid);
    return new ModelAndView("redirect:/subject_setup");
}

and the parameter will be used for input on your query

public int delete(int subjectid) {
    String sql = "update tbl_subject set isdeleted= '1' where id = "+subjectid+"";
    return template.update(sql);
}

Can't check signature: public key not found

There is a similar problem.it is a tomcat digital signature.

$ gpg --verify apache-tomcat-9.0.16-windows-x64.zip.asc apache-tomcat-9.0.16-windows- 
x64.zip
gpg: Signature made 2019?02? 5?  0:32:50
gpg:                using RSA key A9C5DF4D22E99998D9875A5110C01C5A2F6059E7
gpg: Can't check signature: No public key

but then I use the RSA key it provided to receive the public key to verify.

$ gpg --receive-keys A9C5DF4D22E99998D9875A5110C01C5A2F6059E7
gpg: key 10C01C5A2F6059E7: 38 signatures not checked due to missing keys
gpg: key 10C01C5A2F6059E7: public key "Mark E D Thomas <[email protected]>" imported
gpg: no ultimately trusted keys found
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:               imported: 1

Then successfully.

SQL Bulk Insert with FIRSTROW parameter skips the following line

I don't think you can skip rows in a different format with BULK INSERT/BCP.

When I run this:

TRUNCATE TABLE so1029384

BULK INSERT so1029384
FROM 'C:\Data\test\so1029384.txt'
WITH
(
--FIRSTROW = 2,
FIELDTERMINATOR= '|',
ROWTERMINATOR = '\n'
)

SELECT * FROM so1029384

I get:

col1                                               col2                                               col3

0000009112                                         0000                                               00013893-03JUN09

It looks like it requires the '|' even in the header data, because it reads up to that into the first column - swallowing up a newline into the first column. Obviously if you include a field terminator parameter, it expects that every row MUST have one.

You could strip the row with a pre-processing step. Another possibility is to select only complete rows, then process them (exluding the header). Or use a tool which can handle this, like SSIS.
