Programs & Examples On #Helpermethods

Can Rails Routing Helpers (i.e. mymodel_path(model)) be Used in Models?

You may also find the following approach cleaner than including every method:

class Thing
  delegate :url_helpers, to: 'Rails.application.routes' 

  def url
    url_helpers.thing_path(self)
  end
end

Add an incremental number in a field in INSERT INTO SELECT query in SQL Server

You can use the row_number() function for this.

INSERT INTO PM_Ingrediants_Arrangements_Temp(AdminID, ArrangementID, IngrediantID, Sequence)
    SELECT @AdminID, @ArrangementID, PM_Ingrediants.ID,
            row_number() over (order by (select NULL))
    FROM PM_Ingrediants 
    WHERE PM_Ingrediants.ID IN (SELECT ID FROM GetIDsTableFromIDsList(@IngrediantsIDs)
                             )

If you want to start with the maximum already in the table then do:

INSERT INTO PM_Ingrediants_Arrangements_Temp(AdminID, ArrangementID, IngrediantID, Sequence)
    SELECT @AdminID, @ArrangementID, PM_Ingrediants.ID,
           coalesce(const.maxs, 0) + row_number() over (order by (select NULL))
    FROM PM_Ingrediants cross join
         (select max(sequence) as maxs from PM_Ingrediants_Arrangement_Temp) const
    WHERE PM_Ingrediants.ID IN (SELECT ID FROM GetIDsTableFromIDsList(@IngrediantsIDs)
                             )

Finally, you can just make the sequence column an auto-incrementing identity column. This saves the need to increment it each time:

create table PM_Ingrediants_Arrangement_Temp ( . . .
    sequence int identity(1, 1) -- and might consider making this a primary key too
    . . .
)

AngularJS custom filter function

Additionally, if you want to use the filter in your controller the same way you do it here:

<div ng-repeat="item in items | filter:criteriaMatch(criteria)">
  {{ item }}
</div>

You could do something like:

var filteredItems =  $scope.$eval('items | filter:filter:criteriaMatch(criteria)');

CSS content generation before or after 'input' elements

With :before and :after you specify which content should be inserted before (or after) the content inside of that element. input elements have no content.

E.g. if you write <input type="text">Test</input> (which is wrong) the browser will correct this and put the text after the input element.

The only thing you could do is to wrap every input element in a span or div and apply the CSS on these.

See the examples in the specification:

For example, the following document fragment and style sheet:

<h2> Header </h2>               h2 { display: run-in; }
<p> Text </p>                   p:before { display: block; content: 'Some'; }

...would render in exactly the same way as the following document fragment and style sheet:

<h2> Header </h2>            h2 { display: run-in; }
<p><span>Some</span> Text </p>  span { display: block }

This is the same reason why it does not work for <br>, <img>, etc. (<textarea> seems to be special).

Converting JavaScript object with numeric keys into array

Here is an example of how you could get an array of objects and then sort the array.

  function osort(obj)
  {  // map the object to an array [key, obj[key]]
    return Object.keys(obj).map(function(key) { return [key, obj[key]] }).sort(
      function (keya, keyb)
      { // sort(from largest to smallest)
          return keyb[1] - keya[1];
      }
    );
  }

How can I disable a button in a jQuery dialog from a function?

You would want to set the disabled property

 $('#continueButton').attr("disabled", true);

Update: Ahha, I see the complexity now. The jQuery Dialog had a single line that will be of use (under the "buttons" section.

 var buttons = $('.selector').dialog('option', 'buttons');

You'll need to get the buttons collection from the dialog, loop through that to find which one you need, and then set the disabled attribute as I showed above.

How to calculate the median of an array?

The Arrays class in Java has a static sort function, which you can invoke with Arrays.sort(numArray).

Arrays.sort(numArray);
double median;
if (numArray.length % 2 == 0)
    median = ((double)numArray[numArray.length/2] + (double)numArray[numArray.length/2 - 1])/2;
else
    median = (double) numArray[numArray.length/2];

How can I delete all cookies with JavaScript?

Why do you use new Date instead of a static UTC string?

    function clearListCookies(){
    var cookies = document.cookie.split(";");
        for (var i = 0; i < cookies.length; i++){   
            var spcook =  cookies[i].split("=");
            document.cookie = spcook[0] + "=;expires=Thu, 21 Sep 1979 00:00:01 UTC;";                                
        }
    }

Restricting input to textbox: allowing only numbers and decimal point

function isNumberKey(evt)
{
    var charCode = (evt.which) ? evt.which : evt.keyCode;

    if(charCode==8 || charCode==13|| charCode==99|| charCode==118 || charCode==46)
    {    
        return true;  
    }

    if (charCode > 31 && (charCode < 48 || charCode > 57))
    {   
        return false; 
    }
    return true;
}

It will allow only numeric and will let you put "." for decimal.

Select method in List<t> Collection

Generic List<T> have the Where<T>(Func<T, Boolean>) extension method that can be used to filter data.

In your case with a row array:

var rows = rowsArray.Where(row => row["LastName"].ToString().StartsWith("a"));

If you are using DataRowCollection, you need to cast it first.

var rows = dataTableRows.Cast<DataRow>().Where(row => row["LastName"].ToString().StartsWith("a"));

Using :before and :after CSS selector to insert Html

content doesn't support HTML, only text. You should probably use javascript, jQuery or something like that.

Another problem with your code is " inside a " block. You should mix ' and " (class='headingDetail').

If content did support HTML you could end up in an infinite loop where content is added inside content.

Bootstrap: Collapse other sections when one is expanded

Using data-parent, first solution is to stick to the example selector architecture

<div id="myGroup">
    <button class="btn dropdown" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#keys" data-parent="#myGroup"><i class="icon-chevron-right"></i> Keys  <span class="badge badge-info pull-right">X</span></button>
    <button class="btn dropdown" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#attrs" data-parent="#myGroup"><i class="icon-chevron-right"></i> Attributes</button>
    <button class="btn dropdown" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#edit" data-parent="#myGroup"><i class="icon-chevron-right"></i> Edit Details</button>

    <div class="accordion-group">
        <div class="collapse indent" id="keys">
            keys
        </div>

        <div class="collapse indent" id="attrs">
            attrs
        </div>

        <div class="collapse" id="edit">
            edit
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Demo (jsfiddle)

Second solution is to bind on the events and hide the other collapsible elements yourself.

var $myGroup = $('#myGroup');
$myGroup.on('show.bs.collapse','.collapse', function() {
    $myGroup.find('.collapse.in').collapse('hide');
});

Demo (jsfiddle)

PS: the strange effect in the demos is caused by the min-height set for the example, just ignore that.


Edit: changed the JS event from show to show.bs.collapse as specified in Bootstrap documentation.

Why is list initialization (using curly braces) better than the alternatives?

There are MANY reasons to use brace initialization, but you should be aware that the initializer_list<> constructor is preferred to the other constructors, the exception being the default-constructor. This leads to problems with constructors and templates where the type T constructor can be either an initializer list or a plain old ctor.

struct Foo {
    Foo() {}

    Foo(std::initializer_list<Foo>) {
        std::cout << "initializer list" << std::endl;
    }

    Foo(const Foo&) {
        std::cout << "copy ctor" << std::endl;
    }
};

int main() {
    Foo a;
    Foo b(a); // copy ctor
    Foo c{a}; // copy ctor (init. list element) + initializer list!!!
}

Assuming you don't encounter such classes there is little reason not to use the intializer list.

Global variables in Javascript across multiple files

OK, guys, here's my little test too. I had a similar problem, so I decided to test out 3 situations:

  1. One HTML file, one external JS file... does it work at all - can functions communicate via a global var?
  2. Two HTML files, one external JS file, one browser, two tabs: will they interfere via the global var?
  3. One HTML file, open by 2 browsers, will it work and will they interfere?

All the results were as expected.

  1. It works. Functions f1() and f2() communicate via global var (var is in the external JS file, not in HTML file).
  2. They do not interfere. Apparently distinct copies of JS file have been made for each browser tab, each HTML page.
  3. All works independently, as expected.

Instead of browsing tutorials, I found it easier to try it out, so I did. My conclusion: whenever you include an external JS file in your HTML page, the contents of the external JS gets "copy/pasted" into your HTML page before the page is rendered. Or into your PHP page if you will. Please correct me if I'm wrong here. Thanx.

My example files follow:

EXTERNAL JS:

var global = 0;

function f1()
{
    alert('fired: f1');
    global = 1;
    alert('global changed to 1');
}

function f2()
{
    alert('fired f2');
    alert('value of global: '+global);
}

How to find numbers from a string?

Expanding on brettdj's answer, in order to parse disjoint embedded digits into separate numbers:

Sub TestNumList()
    Dim NumList As Variant  'Array

    NumList = GetNums("34d1fgd43g1 dg5d999gdg2076")

    Dim i As Integer
    For i = LBound(NumList) To UBound(NumList)
        MsgBox i + 1 & ": " & NumList(i)
    Next i
End Sub

Function GetNums(ByVal strIn As String) As Variant  'Array of numeric strings
    Dim RegExpObj As Object
    Dim NumStr As String

    Set RegExpObj = CreateObject("vbscript.regexp")
    With RegExpObj
        .Global = True
        .Pattern = "[^\d]+"
        NumStr = .Replace(strIn, " ")
    End With

    GetNums = Split(Trim(NumStr), " ")
End Function

How to check if a Ruby object is a Boolean

I find this to be concise and self-documenting:

[true, false].include? foo

If using Rails or ActiveSupport, you can even do a direct query using in?

foo.in? [true, false]

Checking against all possible values isn't something I'd recommend for floats, but feasible when there are only two possible values!

Java array reflection: isArray vs. instanceof

If you ever have a choice between a reflective solution and a non-reflective solution, never pick the reflective one (involving Class objects). It's not that it's "Wrong" or anything, but anything involving reflection is generally less obvious and less clear.

How can I pass a member function where a free function is expected?

If you actually don't need to use the instance a (i.e. you can make it static like @mathengineer 's answer) you can simply pass in a non-capture lambda. (which decay to function pointer)


#include <iostream>

class aClass
{
public:
   void aTest(int a, int b)
   {
      printf("%d + %d = %d", a, b, a + b);
   }
};

void function1(void (*function)(int, int))
{
    function(1, 1);
}

int main()
{
   //note: you don't need the `+`
   function1(+[](int a,int b){return aClass{}.aTest(a,b);}); 
}

Wandbox


note: if aClass is costly to construct or has side effect, this may not be a good way.

What does mvn install in maven exactly do

At any stage of maven build life cycle, all the previous goals are performed.

Ex: mvn install will invoke mvn validate, mvn compile, mvn test, mvn package etc.

Add number of days to a date

How to connect to a remote Git repository?

It's simple and follow the small Steps to proceed:

  • Install git on the remote server say some ec2 instance
  • Now create a project folder `$mkdir project.git
  • $cd project and execute $git init --bare

Let's say this project.git folder is present at your ip with address inside home_folder/workspace/project.git, forex- ec2 - /home/ubuntu/workspace/project.git

Now in your local machine, $cd into the project folder which you want to push to git execute the below commands:

  • git init .

  • git remote add origin [email protected]:/home/ubuntu/workspace/project.git

  • git add .
  • git commit -m "Initial commit"

Below is an optional command but found it has been suggested as i was working to setup the same thing

git config --global remote.origin.receivepack "git receive-pack"

  • git pull origin master
  • git push origin master

This should work fine and will push the local code to the remote git repository.

To check the remote fetch url, cd project_folder/.git and cat config, this will give the remote url being used for pull and push operations.

You can also use an alternative way, after creating the project.git folder on git, clone the project and copy the entire content into that folder. Commit the changes and it should be the same way. While cloning make sure you have access or the key being is the secret key for the remote server being used for deployment.

Difference between a user and a schema in Oracle?

Based on my little knowledge of Oracle... a USER and a SCHEMA are somewhat similar. But there is also a major difference. A USER can be called a SCHEMA if the "USER" owns any object, otherwise ... it will only remain a "USER". Once the USER owns at least one object then by virtue of all of your definitions above.... the USER can now be called a SCHEMA.

docker entrypoint running bash script gets "permission denied"

This is an old question asked two years prior to my answer, I am going to post what worked for me anyways.

In my working directory I have two files: Dockerfile & provision.sh

Dockerfile:

FROM centos:6.8

# put the script in the /root directory of the container
COPY provision.sh /root

# execute the script inside the container
RUN /root/provision.sh

EXPOSE 80

# Default command
CMD ["/bin/bash"]

provision.sh:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

yum upgrade

I was able to make the file in the docker container executable by setting the file outside the container as executable chmod 700 provision.sh then running docker build . .

What is the equivalent to a JavaScript setInterval/setTimeout in Android/Java?

setInterval()

function that repeats itself in every n milliseconds

Javascript

 setInterval(function(){ Console.log("A Kiss every 5 seconds"); }, 5000);

Approximate java Equivalent

new Timer().scheduleAtFixedRate(new TimerTask(){
    @Override
    public void run(){
       Log.i("tag", "A Kiss every 5 seconds");
    }
},0,5000);

setTimeout()

function that works only after n milliseconds

Javascript

setTimeout(function(){ Console.log("A Kiss after 5 seconds"); },5000);

Approximate java Equivalent

new android.os.Handler().postDelayed(
    new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            Log.i("tag","A Kiss after 5 seconds");
        }
}, 5000);

Can I access variables from another file?

Using Node.js you can export the variable via module.

//first.js
const colorCode = {
    black: "#000",
    white: "#fff"
};
module.exports = { colorCode };

Then, import the module/variable in second file using require.

//second.js
const { colorCode } = require('./first.js')

You can use the import and export aproach from ES6 using Webpack/Babel, but in Node.js you need to enable a flag, and uses the .mjs extension.

Running Selenium Webdriver with a proxy in Python

How about something like this

PROXY = "149.215.113.110:70"

webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.FIREFOX['proxy'] = {
    "httpProxy":PROXY,
    "ftpProxy":PROXY,
    "sslProxy":PROXY,
    "noProxy":None,
    "proxyType":"MANUAL",
    "class":"org.openqa.selenium.Proxy",
    "autodetect":False
}

# you have to use remote, otherwise you'll have to code it yourself in python to 
driver = webdriver.Remote("http://localhost:4444/wd/hub", webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.FIREFOX)

You can read more about it here.

Xampp-mysql - "Table doesn't exist in engine" #1932

I have faced same issue but copying the xampp\mysql\data\ibdata1 was not solved my problem, because I install new version of xampp, if you upgrading your xampp first make backup from all htdocs and mysql folder, in my case I just backup the all xampp to the new folder like old-xampp then install new xampp and then you need do the following steps before starting your new xampp servers:

  1. Backup the phpmyadmin folder and ibdata1 from your new installation form this location xampp\mysql\data.
  2. Then Go to your old xampp folder old-xampp\mysql\data and copy the ibdata1 file and phpmyadmin from old location.
  3. Then open your new xampp folder xampp\mysql\data and past them there.
  4. Start the xampp servers.

How to preserve aspect ratio when scaling image using one (CSS) dimension in IE6?

Well, I can think of a CSS hack that will resolve this issue.

You could add the following line in your CSS file:

* html .blog_list div.postbody img { width:75px; height: SpecifyHeightHere; } 

The above code will only be seen by IE6. The aspect ratio won't be perfect, but you could make it look somewhat normal. If you really wanted to make it perfect, you would need to write some javascript that would read the original picture width, and set the ratio accordingly to specify a height.

Hibernate Query By Example and Projections

The problem seems to happen when you have an alias the same name as the objects property. Hibernate seems to pick up the alias and use it in the sql. I found this documented here and here, and I believe it to be a bug in Hibernate, although I am not sure that the Hibernate team agrees.

Either way, I have found a simple work around that works in my case. Your mileage may vary. The details are below, I tried to simplify the code for this sample so I apologize for any errors or typo's:

Criteria criteria = session.createCriteria(MyClass.class)
    .setProjection(Projections.projectionList()
        .add(Projections.property("sectionHeader"), "sectionHeader")
        .add(Projections.property("subSectionHeader"), "subSectionHeader")
        .add(Projections.property("sectionNumber"), "sectionNumber"))
    .add(Restrictions.ilike("sectionHeader", sectionHeaderVar)) // <- Problem!
    .setResultTransformer(Transformers.aliasToBean(MyDTO.class));

Would produce this sql:

select
    this_.SECTION_HEADER as y1_,
    this_.SUB_SECTION_HEADER as y2_,
    this_.SECTION_NUMBER as y3_,
from
    MY_TABLE this_ 
where
    ( lower(y1_) like ? ) 

Which was causing an error: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00904: "Y1_": invalid identifier

But, when I changed my restriction to use "this", like so:

Criteria criteria = session.createCriteria(MyClass.class)
    .setProjection(Projections.projectionList()
        .add(Projections.property("sectionHeader"), "sectionHeader")
        .add(Projections.property("subSectionHeader"), "subSectionHeader")
        .add(Projections.property("sectionNumber"), "sectionNumber"))
    .add(Restrictions.ilike("this.sectionHeader", sectionHeaderVar)) // <- Problem Solved!
    .setResultTransformer(Transformers.aliasToBean(MyDTO.class));

It produced the following sql and my problem was solved.

select
    this_.SECTION_HEADER as y1_,
    this_.SUB_SECTION_HEADER as y2_,
    this_.SECTION_NUMBER as y3_,
from
    MY_TABLE this_ 
where
    ( lower(this_.SECTION_HEADER) like ? ) 

Thats, it! A pretty simple fix to a painful problem. I don't know how this fix would translate to the query by example problem, but it may get you closer.

Windows-1252 to UTF-8 encoding

How would you expect recode to know that a file is Windows-1252? In theory, I believe any file is a valid Windows-1252 file, as it maps every possible byte to a character.

Now there are certainly characteristics which would strongly suggest that it's UTF-8 - if it starts with the UTF-8 BOM, for example - but they wouldn't be definitive.

One option would be to detect whether it's actually a completely valid UTF-8 file first, I suppose... again, that would only be suggestive.

I'm not familiar with the recode tool itself, but you might want to see whether it's capable of recoding a file from and to the same encoding - if you do this with an invalid file (i.e. one which contains invalid UTF-8 byte sequences) it may well convert the invalid sequences into question marks or something similar. At that point you could detect that a file is valid UTF-8 by recoding it to UTF-8 and seeing whether the input and output are identical.

Alternatively, do this programmatically rather than using the recode utility - it would be quite straightforward in C#, for example.

Just to reiterate though: all of this is heuristic. If you really don't know the encoding of a file, nothing is going to tell you it with 100% accuracy.

Calling a class method raises a TypeError in Python

You can instantiate the class by declaring a variable and calling the class as if it were a function:

x = mystuff()
print x.average(9,18,27)

However, this won't work with the code you gave us. When you call a class method on a given object (x), it always passes a pointer to the object as the first parameter when it calls the function. So if you run your code right now, you'll see this error message:

TypeError: average() takes exactly 3 arguments (4 given)

To fix this, you'll need to modify the definition of the average method to take four parameters. The first parameter is an object reference, and the remaining 3 parameters would be for the 3 numbers.

How do I grant read access for a user to a database in SQL Server?

This is a two-step process:

  1. you need to create a login to SQL Server for that user, based on its Windows account

    CREATE LOGIN [<domainName>\<loginName>] FROM WINDOWS;
    
  2. you need to grant this login permission to access a database:

    USE (your database)
    CREATE USER (username) FOR LOGIN (your login name)
    

Once you have that user in your database, you can give it any rights you want, e.g. you could assign it the db_datareader database role to read all tables.

USE (your database)
EXEC sp_addrolemember 'db_datareader', '(your user name)'

python xlrd unsupported format, or corrupt file.

This will happen to some files while also open in Excel.

How to resolve "Could not find schema information for the element/attribute <xxx>"?

I configured the app.config with the tool for EntLib configuration and set up my LoggingConfiguration block. Then I copied this into the DotNetConfig.xsd. Of course, it does not cover all attributes, only the ones I added but it does not display those annoying info messages anymore.

django admin - add custom form fields that are not part of the model

It it possible to do in the admin, but there is not a very straightforward way to it. Also, I would like to advice to keep most business logic in your models, so you won't be dependent on the Django Admin.

Maybe it would be easier (and maybe even better) if you have the two seperate fields on your model. Then add a method on your model that combines them.

For example:

class MyModel(models.model):

    field1 = models.CharField(max_length=10)
    field2 = models.CharField(max_length=10)

    def combined_fields(self):
        return '{} {}'.format(self.field1, self.field2)

Then in the admin you can add the combined_fields() as a readonly field:

class MyModelAdmin(models.ModelAdmin):

    list_display = ('field1', 'field2', 'combined_fields')
    readonly_fields = ('combined_fields',)

    def combined_fields(self, obj):
        return obj.combined_fields()

If you want to store the combined_fields in the database you could also save it when you save the model:

def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
    self.field3 = self.combined_fields()
    super(MyModel, self).save(*args, **kwargs)

Appending to an object

You should really go with the array of alerts suggestions, but otherwise adding to the object you mentioned would look like this:

alerts[3]={"app":"goodbyeworld","message":"cya"};

But since you shouldn't use literal numbers as names quote everything and go with

alerts['3']={"app":"goodbyeworld","message":"cya"};

or you can make it an array of objects.

Accessing it looks like

alerts['1'].app
=> "helloworld"

How to retrieve the current value of an oracle sequence without increment it?

The follows is often used:

select field_SQ.nextval from dual;
select field_SQ.currval from DUAL;

However the following is able to change the sequence to what you expected. The 1 can be an integer (negative or positive)

alter sequence field_SQ increment by 1 minvalue 0

CSS - display: none; not working

In the HTML source provided, the element #tfl has an inline style "display:block". Inline style will always override stylesheets styles…

Then, you have some options (while as you said you can't modify the html code nor using javascript):

  • force display:none with !important rule (not recommended)
  • put the div offscreen with theses rules :

    #tfl {
        position: absolute;
        left: -9999px;
    }
    

PHP Date Format to Month Name and Year

You could use:

echo date('F Y', strtotime('20130814'));

which should do the trick.

Edit: You have a date which is in a string format. To be able to format it nicelt, you first need to change it into a date itself - which is where strtotime comes in. It is a fantastic feature that converts almost any plausible expression of a date into a date itself. Then we can actually use the date() function to format the output into what you want.

What is the backslash character (\\)?

The \ on it's own is used to escape special characters, such as \n (new line), \t (tabulation), \" (quotes) when typing these specific values in a System.out.println() statement.

Thus, if you want to print a backslash, \, you can't have it on it's own since the compiler will be expecting a special character (such as the ones above). Thus, to print a backslash you need to escape it, since itself is also one of these special characters, thus, \\ yields \.

How to load image to WPF in runtime?

In WPF an image is typically loaded from a Stream or an Uri.

BitmapImage supports both and an Uri can even be passed as constructor argument:

var uri = new Uri("http://...");
var bitmap = new BitmapImage(uri);

If the image file is located in a local folder, you would have to use a file:// Uri. You could create such a Uri from a path like this:

var path = Path.Combine(Environment.CurrentDirectory, "Bilder", "sas.png");
var uri = new Uri(path);

If the image file is an assembly resource, the Uri must follow the the Pack Uri scheme:

var uri = new Uri("pack://application:,,,/Bilder/sas.png");

In this case the Visual Studio Build Action for sas.png would have to be Resource.

Once you have created a BitmapImage and also have an Image control like in this XAML

<Image Name="image1" />

you would simply assign the BitmapImage to the Source property of that Image control:

image1.Source = bitmap;

How can I make a horizontal ListView in Android?

For the scroll effect i enabled gesture listener for the gallery. I hope this answer may help u.

Call another rest api from my server in Spring-Boot

This website has some nice examples for using spring's RestTemplate. Here is a code example of how it can work to get a simple object:

private static void getEmployees()
{
    final String uri = "http://localhost:8080/springrestexample/employees.xml";

    RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
    String result = restTemplate.getForObject(uri, String.class);

    System.out.println(result);
}

How can you change Network settings (IP Address, DNS, WINS, Host Name) with code in C#

Just made this in a few minutes:

using System;
using System.Management;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication_CS
{
  class NetworkManagement
  {
    public void setIP(string ip_address, string subnet_mask)
    {
      ManagementClass objMC =

          // and pass in the Description property instead of the name 
          if (objMO["Caption"].Equals(NIC))

multiple conditions for filter in spark data frames

Another way is to use function expr with where clause

import org.apache.spark.sql.functions.expr

df2 = df1.where(expr("col1 = 'value1' and col2 = 'value2'"))

It works the same.

SQL Update with row_number()

One more option

UPDATE x
SET x.CODE_DEST = x.New_CODE_DEST
FROM (
      SELECT CODE_DEST, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY [RS_NOM]) AS New_CODE_DEST
      FROM DESTINATAIRE_TEMP
      ) x

Smart cast to 'Type' is impossible, because 'variable' is a mutable property that could have been changed by this time

For there to be a Smart Cast of the properties, the data type of the property must be the class that contains the method or behavior that you want to access and NOT that the property is of the type of the super class.


e.g on Android

Be:

class MyVM : ViewModel() {
    fun onClick() {}
}

Solution:

From: private lateinit var viewModel: ViewModel
To: private lateinit var viewModel: MyVM

Usage:

viewModel = ViewModelProvider(this)[MyVM::class.java]
viewModel.onClick {}

How to remove an item from an array in Vue.js

Splice is the best to remove element from specific index. The given example is tested on console.

card = [1, 2, 3, 4];
card.splice(1,1);  // [2]
card   // (3) [1, 3, 4]
splice(startingIndex, totalNumberOfElements)

startingIndex start from 0.

Store JSON object in data attribute in HTML jQuery

.data() works perfectly for most cases. The only time I had a problem was when the JSON string itself had a single quote. I could not find any easy way to get past this so resorted to this approach (am using Coldfusion as server language):

    <!DOCTYPE html>
        <html>
            <head>
                <title>

                </title>
                <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
                <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.2.min.js"></script>
                <script>
                    $(function(){
                        var o = $("##xxx");
                        /**
                            1. get the data attribute as a string using attr()
                            2. unescape
                            3. convert unescaped string back to object
                            4. set the original data attribute to future calls get it as JSON.
                        */
                        o.data("xxx",jQuery.parseJSON(unescape(o.attr("data-xxx"))));
                        console.log(o.data("xxx")); // this is JSON object.
                    });
                </script>
                <title>
                    Title of the document

IE8 issue with Twitter Bootstrap 3

my head tag is like this:

<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
    <!-- Bootstrap core CSS -->
    <link href="css/modern-business.css" rel="stylesheet">

    <script src="js/jquery.js"></script>
    <script src="js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
    <script src="js/modern-business.js"></script>

      <script src="js/html5shiv.js"></script>
      <script src="js/respond.js"></script>
    <![endif]-->  
</head>

if you want to try in local...try through localhost, or create a QA server and set the content and try.

We need respond.js for bootstrap 3 and it wont work in local machine if we just put it in js and append it to html in header. It will say access denied. it works only through server as IE has security restriction. :P

How to create SPF record for multiple IPs?

The open SPF wizard from the previous answer is no longer available, neither the one from Microsoft.

Convert .pfx to .cer

If you're working in PowerShell you can use something like the following, given a pfx file InputBundle.pfx, to produce a DER encoded (binary) certificate file OutputCert.der:

Get-PfxCertificate -FilePath InputBundle.pfx | 
Export-Certificate -FilePath OutputCert.der -Type CERT

Newline added for clarity, but you can of course have this all on a single line.

If you need the certificate in ASCII/Base64 encoded PEM format, you can take extra steps to do so as documented elsewhere, such as here: https://superuser.com/questions/351548/windows-integrated-utility-to-convert-der-to-pem

If you need to export to a different format than DER encoded, you can change the -Type parameter for Export-Certificate to use the types supported by .NET, as seen in help Export-Certificate -Detailed:

-Type <CertType>
    Specifies the type of output file for the certificate export as follows. 
     -- SST: A Microsoft serialized certificate store (.sst) file format which can contain one or more certificates. This is the default value for multiple certificates. 
     -- CERT: A .cer file format which contains a single DER-encoded certificate. This is the default value for one certificate. 
     -- P7B: A PKCS#7 file format which can contain one or more certificates.

Precision String Format Specifier In Swift

Plenty of good answers above, but sometimes a pattern is more appropriate than the "%.3f" sort of gobbledygook. Here's my take using a NumberFormatter in Swift 3.

extension Double {
  func format(_ pattern: String) -> String {
    let formatter = NumberFormatter()
    formatter.format = pattern
    return formatter.string(from: NSNumber(value: self))!
  }    
}

let n1 = 0.350, n2 = 0.355
print(n1.format("0.00#")) // 0.35
print(n2.format("0.00#")) // 0.355

Here I wanted 2 decimals to be always shown, but the third only if it wasn't zero.

Adding a module (Specifically pymorph) to Spyder (Python IDE)

  1. Find the location of a module in Terminal:

    $ python # open python
    
    import pygame # import a module 
    
    pygame # get the location
    
  2. Copy-paste the module folder to the 'Spyder.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python2.7'

  3. Relaunch Spyder.app

pandas DataFrame: replace nan values with average of columns

If you want to impute missing values with mean and you want to go column by column, then this will only impute with the mean of that column. This might be a little more readable.

sub2['income'] = sub2['income'].fillna((sub2['income'].mean()))

Regular expression to extract URL from an HTML link

If you're only looking for one:

import re
match = re.search(r'href=[\'"]?([^\'" >]+)', s)
if match:
    print(match.group(1))

If you have a long string, and want every instance of the pattern in it:

import re
urls = re.findall(r'href=[\'"]?([^\'" >]+)', s)
print(', '.join(urls))

Where s is the string that you're looking for matches in.

Quick explanation of the regexp bits:

r'...' is a "raw" string. It stops you having to worry about escaping characters quite as much as you normally would. (\ especially -- in a raw string a \ is just a \. In a regular string you'd have to do \\ every time, and that gets old in regexps.)

"href=[\'"]?" says to match "href=", possibly followed by a ' or ". "Possibly" because it's hard to say how horrible the HTML you're looking at is, and the quotes aren't strictly required.

Enclosing the next bit in "()" says to make it a "group", which means to split it out and return it separately to us. It's just a way to say "this is the part of the pattern I'm interested in."

"[^\'" >]+" says to match any characters that aren't ', ", >, or a space. Essentially this is a list of characters that are an end to the URL. It lets us avoid trying to write a regexp that reliably matches a full URL, which can be a bit complicated.

The suggestion in another answer to use BeautifulSoup isn't bad, but it does introduce a higher level of external requirements. Plus it doesn't help you in your stated goal of learning regexps, which I'd assume this specific html-parsing project is just a part of.

It's pretty easy to do:

from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
soup = BeautifulSoup(html_to_parse)
for tag in soup.findAll('a', href=True):
    print(tag['href'])

Once you've installed BeautifulSoup, anyway.

Jquery Setting Value of Input Field

Put your jQuery function in

});

It's surely solved.

How to place two forms on the same page?

You can use this easiest method.

_x000D_
_x000D_
<form action="validator.php" method="post" id="form1">_x000D_
    <input type="text" name="user">_x000D_
    <input type="password" name="password">_x000D_
    <input type="submit" value="submit" form="form1">_x000D_
</form>_x000D_
_x000D_
<br />_x000D_
_x000D_
<form action="validator.php" method="post" id="form2">_x000D_
    <input type="text" name="user">_x000D_
    <input type="password" name="password">_x000D_
    <input type="submit" value="submit" form="form2">_x000D_
</form>
_x000D_
_x000D_

Find the unique values in a column and then sort them

sort sorts inplace so returns nothing:

In [54]:
df = pd.DataFrame({'A':[1,1,3,2,6,2,8]})
a = df['A'].unique()
a.sort()
a

Out[54]:
array([1, 2, 3, 6, 8], dtype=int64)

So you have to call print a again after the call to sort.

Eg.:

In [55]:
df = pd.DataFrame({'A':[1,1,3,2,6,2,8]})
a = df['A'].unique()
a.sort()
print(a)

[1 2 3 6 8]

How to refresh app upon shaking the device?

I have tried several implementations, but would like to share my own. It uses G-force as unit for the threshold calculation. It makes it a bit easier to understand what is going on, and also with setting a good threshold.

It simply registers a increase in G force and triggers the listener if it exceeds the threshold. It doesn't use any direction thresholds, cause you don't really need that if you just want to register a good shake.

Of-course you need the standard registering and UN-registering of this listener in the Activity.

Also, to check what threshold you need, I recommend the following app (I am not in any way connected to that app)

    public class UmitoShakeEventListener implements SensorEventListener {

    /**
     * The gforce that is necessary to register as shake. (Must include 1G
     * gravity)
     */
    private final float shakeThresholdInGForce = 2.25F;

    private final float gravityEarth = SensorManager.GRAVITY_EARTH;

    private OnShakeListener listener;

    public void setOnShakeListener(OnShakeListener listener) {
        this.listener = listener;
    }

    public interface OnShakeListener {
        public void onShake();
    }

    @Override
    public void onAccuracyChanged(Sensor sensor, int accuracy) {
        // ignore

    }

    @Override
    public void onSensorChanged(SensorEvent event) {

        if (listener != null) {
            float x = event.values[0];
            float y = event.values[1];
            float z = event.values[2];

            float gX = x / gravityEarth;
            float gY = y / gravityEarth;
            float gZ = z / gravityEarth;

            //G-Force will be 1 when there is no movement. (gravity)
            float gForce = FloatMath.sqrt(gX * gX + gY * gY + gZ * gZ); 



            if (gForce > shakeThresholdInGForce) {
                listener.onShake();

            }
        }

    }

}

Conditional WHERE clause with CASE statement in Oracle

You can write the where clause as:

where (case when (:stateCode = '') then (1)
            when (:stateCode != '') and (vw.state_cd in (:stateCode)) then 1
            else 0)
       end) = 1;

Alternatively, remove the case entirely:

where (:stateCode = '') or
      ((:stateCode != '') and vw.state_cd in (:stateCode));

Or, even better:

where (:stateCode = '') or vw.state_cd in (:stateCode)

Python Pandas: Get index of rows which column matches certain value

I extended this question that is how to gets the row, columnand value of all matches value?

here is solution:

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np


def search_coordinate(df_data: pd.DataFrame, search_set: set) -> list:
    nda_values = df_data.values
    tuple_index = np.where(np.isin(nda_values, [e for e in search_set]))
    return [(row, col, nda_values[row][col]) for row, col in zip(tuple_index[0], tuple_index[1])]


if __name__ == '__main__':
    test_datas = [['cat', 'dog', ''],
                  ['goldfish', '', 'kitten'],
                  ['Puppy', 'hamster', 'mouse']
                  ]
    df_data = pd.DataFrame(test_datas)
    print(df_data)
    result_list = search_coordinate(df_data, {'dog', 'Puppy'})
    print(f"\n\n{'row':<4} {'col':<4} {'name':>10}")
    [print(f"{row:<4} {col:<4} {name:>10}") for row, col, name in result_list]

Output:

          0        1       2
0       cat      dog        
1  goldfish           kitten
2     Puppy  hamster   mouse


row  col        name
0    1           dog
2    0         Puppy

Virtualbox "port forward" from Guest to Host

That's not possible. localhost always defaults to the loopback device on the local operating system.
As your virtual machine runs its own operating system it has its own loopback device which you cannot access from the outside.

If you want to access it e.g. in a browser, connect to it using the local IP instead:

http://192.168.180.1:8000

This is just an example of course, you can find out the actual IP by issuing an ifconfig command on a shell in the guest operating system.

How do I combine two dataframes?

I believe you can use the append method

bigdata = data1.append(data2, ignore_index=True)

to keep their indexes just dont use the ignore_index keyword ...

What datatype should be used for storing phone numbers in SQL Server 2005?

Use CHAR(10) if you are storing US Phone numbers only. Remove everything but the digits.

How can I determine whether a 2D Point is within a Polygon?

David Segond's answer is pretty much the standard general answer, and Richard T's is the most common optimization, though therre are some others. Other strong optimizations are based on less general solutions. For example if you are going to check the same polygon with lots of points, triangulating the polygon can speed things up hugely as there are a number of very fast TIN searching algorithms. Another is if the polygon and points are on a limited plane at low resolution, say a screen display, you can paint the polygon onto a memory mapped display buffer in a given colour, and check the color of a given pixel to see if it lies in the polygons.

Like many optimizations, these are based on specific rather than general cases, and yield beneifits based on amortized time rather than single usage.

Working in this field, i found Joeseph O'Rourkes 'Computation Geometry in C' ISBN 0-521-44034-3 to be a great help.

SFTP file transfer using Java JSch

Below code works for me

   public static void sftpsript(String filepath) {

 try {
  String user ="demouser"; // username for remote host
  String password ="demo123"; // password of the remote host

   String host = "demo.net"; // remote host address
  JSch jsch = new JSch();
  Session session = jsch.getSession(user, host);
  session.setPassword(password);
  session.connect();

  ChannelSftp sftpChannel = (ChannelSftp) session.openChannel("sftp");
  sftpChannel.connect();

  sftpChannel.put("I:/demo/myOutFile.txt", "/tmp/QA_Auto/myOutFile.zip");
  sftpChannel.disconnect();
  session.disconnect();
 }catch(Exception ex){
     ex.printStackTrace();
 }
   }

OR using StrictHostKeyChecking as "NO" (security consequences)

public static void sftpsript(String filepath) {

 try {
  String user ="demouser"; // username for remote host
  String password ="demo123"; // password of the remote host

   String host = "demo.net"; // remote host address
  JSch jsch = new JSch();
   Session session = jsch.getSession(user, host, 22);
   Properties config = new Properties();
   config.put("StrictHostKeyChecking", "no");
   session.setConfig(config);;
   session.setPassword(password);
   System.out.println("user=="+user+"\n host=="+host);
   session.connect();

  ChannelSftp sftpChannel = (ChannelSftp) session.openChannel("sftp");
  sftpChannel.connect();

  sftpChannel.put("I:/demo/myOutFile.txt", "/tmp/QA_Auto/myOutFile.zip");
  sftpChannel.disconnect();
  session.disconnect();
 }catch(Exception ex){
     ex.printStackTrace();
 }
   }

nginx showing blank PHP pages

The reason this problem occurs is because the fastcgi configurations in nginx do not function as required and in place or processing, they respond as html data. There are two possible ways in which you can configure your nginx to avoid this problem.

  1. Method 1:

        location ~ \.php$ {
                fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
                # With php5-fpm:
                fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php5-fpm.sock;
                fastcgi_index index.php;
                include fastcgi.conf;
        }
    
  2. Method 2:

    location ~ \.php$ {
            fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
            include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
            # With php5-fpm:
            fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
            include fastcgi_params;
    }
    

Both the methods would work properly, you can go ahead and take any one of them. They almost perform the same operations with a very few difference.

In jQuery, how do I get the value of a radio button when they all have the same name?

In your code, jQuery just looks for the first instance of an input with name q12_3, which in this case has a value of 1. You want an input with name q12_3 that is :checked.

_x000D_
_x000D_
$("#submit").click(() => {_x000D_
  const val = $('input[name=q12_3]:checked').val();_x000D_
  alert(val);_x000D_
});
_x000D_
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>_x000D_
_x000D_
<table>_x000D_
  <tr>_x000D_
    <td>Sales Promotion</td>_x000D_
    <td><input type="radio" name="q12_3" value="1">1</td>_x000D_
    <td><input type="radio" name="q12_3" value="2">2</td>_x000D_
    <td><input type="radio" name="q12_3" value="3">3</td>_x000D_
    <td><input type="radio" name="q12_3" value="4">4</td>_x000D_
    <td><input type="radio" name="q12_3" value="5">5</td>_x000D_
  </tr>_x000D_
</table>_x000D_
<button id="submit">submit</button>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Note that the above code is not the same as using .is(":checked"). jQuery's is() function returns a boolean (true or false) and not (an) element(s).


Because this answer keeps getting a lot of attention, I'll also include a vanilla JavaScript snippet.

_x000D_
_x000D_
document.querySelector("#submit").addEventListener("click", () => {_x000D_
  const val = document.querySelector("input[name=q12_3]:checked").value;_x000D_
  alert(val);_x000D_
});
_x000D_
<table>_x000D_
  <tr>_x000D_
    <td>Sales Promotion</td>_x000D_
    <td><input type="radio" name="q12_3" value="1">1</td>_x000D_
    <td><input type="radio" name="q12_3" value="2">2</td>_x000D_
    <td><input type="radio" name="q12_3" value="3">3</td>_x000D_
    <td><input type="radio" name="q12_3" value="4">4</td>_x000D_
    <td><input type="radio" name="q12_3" value="5">5</td>_x000D_
  </tr>_x000D_
</table>_x000D_
<button id="submit">submit</button>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

correct configuration for nginx to localhost?

Fundamentally you hadn't declare location which is what nginx uses to bind URL with resources.

 server {
            listen       80;
            server_name  localhost;

            access_log  logs/localhost.access.log  main;

            location / {
                root /var/www/board/public;
                index index.html index.htm index.php;
            }
       }

HTTPS setup in Amazon EC2

This answer is focused to someone that buy a domain in another site (as GoDaddy) and want to use the Amazon free certificate with Certificate Manager

This answer uses Amazon Classic Load Balancer (paid) see the pricing before using it


Step 1 - Request a certificate with Certificate Manager

Go to Certificate Manager > Request Certificate > Request a public certificate

On Domain name you will add myprojectdomainname.com and *.myprojectdomainname.com and go on Next

Chose Email validation and Confirm and Request

Open the email that you have received (on the email account that you have buyed the domain) and aprove the request

After this, check if the validation status of myprojectdomainname.com and *.myprojectdomainname.com is sucess, if is sucess you can continue to Step 2

Step 2 - Create a Security Group to a Load Balancer

On EC2 go to Security Groups > and Create a Security Group and add the http and https inbound

It will be something like: enter image description here

Step 3 - Create the Load Balancer

EC2 > Load Balancer > Create Load Balancer > Classic Load Balancer (Third option)

Create LB inside - the vpc of your project On Load Balancer Protocol add Http and Https enter image description here

Next > Select exiting security group

Choose the security group that you have create in the previous step

Next > Choose certificate from ACM

Select the certificate of the step 1

Next >

on Health check i've used the ping path / (one slash instead of /index.html)

Step 4 - Associate your instance with the security group of load balancer

EC2 > Instances > click on your project > Actions > Networking > Change Security Groups

Add the Security Group of your Load Balancer

Step 5

EC2 > Load Balancer > Click on the load balancer that you have created > copy the DNS Name (A Record), it will be something like myproject-2021611191.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com

Go to Route 53 > Routes Zones > click on the domain name > Go to Records Sets (If you are don't have your domain here, create a hosted zone with Domain Name: myprojectdomainname.com and Type: Public Hosted Zone)

Check if you have a record type A (probably not), create/edit record set with name empty, type A, alias Yes and Target the dns that you have copied

Create also a new Record Set of type A, name *.myprojectdomainname.com, alias Yes and Target your domain (myprojectdomainname.com). This will make possible access your site with www.myprojectdomainname.com and subsite.myprojectdomainname.com. Note: You will need to configure your reverse proxy (Nginx/Apache) to do so.

On NS copy the 4 Name Servers values to use on the next Step, it will be something like:

ns-362.awsdns-45.com ns-1558.awsdns-02.co.uk ns-737.awsdns-28.net ns-1522.awsdns-62.org

Go to EC2 > Instances > And copy the IPv4 Public IP too

Step 6

On the domain register site that you have buyed the domain (in my case GoDaddy)

Change the routing to http : <Your IPv4 Public IP Number> and select Forward with masking

Change the Name Servers (NS) to the 4 NS that you have copied, this can take 48 hours to make effect

Index inside map() function

You will be able to get the current iteration's index for the map method through its 2nd parameter.

Example:

const list = [ 'h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o'];
list.map((currElement, index) => {
  console.log("The current iteration is: " + index);
  console.log("The current element is: " + currElement);
  console.log("\n");
  return currElement; //equivalent to list[index]
});

Output:

The current iteration is: 0 <br>The current element is: h

The current iteration is: 1 <br>The current element is: e

The current iteration is: 2 <br>The current element is: l

The current iteration is: 3 <br>The current element is: l 

The current iteration is: 4 <br>The current element is: o

See also: https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/map

Parameters

callback - Function that produces an element of the new Array, taking three arguments:

1) currentValue
The current element being processed in the array.

2) index
The index of the current element being processed in the array.

3) array
The array map was called upon.

A CSS selector to get last visible div

Pure JS solution (eg. when you don't use jQuery or another framework to other things and don't want to download that just for this task):

<div>A</div>
<div>B</div>  
<div>C</div>  
<div style="display:none">D</div>
<div style="display:none">E</div>    

<script>
var divs = document.getElementsByTagName('div');
var last;

if (divs) {
    for (var i = 0; i < divs.length; i++) {
        if (divs[i].style.display != 'none') {
            last = divs[i];           
        }
    }
}

if (last) {
    last.style.background = 'red';
}
</script>

Going from MM/DD/YYYY to DD-MMM-YYYY in java

java.time

You should use java.time classes with Java 8 and later. To use java.time, add:

import java.time.* ;

Below is an example, how you can format date.

DateTimeFormatter format = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("dd-MMM-yyyy");
String date = "15-Oct-2018";
LocalDate localDate = LocalDate.parse(date, formatter);

System.out.println(localDate); 
System.out.println(formatter.format(localDate));

Identifier is undefined

From the update 2 and after narrowing down the problem scope, we can easily find that there is a brace missing at the end of the function addWord. The compiler will never explicitly identify such a syntax error. instead, it will assume that the missing function definition located in some other object file. The linker will complain about it and hence directly will be categorized under one of the broad the error phrases which is identifier is undefined. Reasonably, because with the current syntax the next function definition (in this case is ac_search) will be included under the addWord scope. Hence, it is not a global function anymore. And that is why compiler will not see this function outside addWord and will throw this error message stating that there is no such a function. A very good elaboration about the compiler and the linker can be found in this article

Include php files when they are in different folders

You can get to the root from within each site using $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']. For testing ONLY you can echo out the path to make sure it's working, if you do it the right way. You NEVER want to show the local server paths for things like includes and requires.

Site 1

echo $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']; //should be '/main_web_folder/';

Includes under site one would be at:

echo $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/includes/'; // should be '/main_web_folder/includes/';

Site 2

echo $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']; //should be '/main_web_folder/blog/';

The actual code to access includes from site1 inside of site2 you would say:

include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/../includes/file_from_site_1.php');

It will only use the relative path of the file executing the query if you try to access it by excluding the document root and the root slash:

 //(not as fool-proof or non-platform specific)
 include('../includes/file_from_site_1.php');

Included paths have no place in code on the front end (live) of the site anywhere, and should be secured and used in production environments only.

Additionally for URLs on the site itself you can make them relative to the domain. Browsers will automatically fill in the rest because they know which page they are looking at. So instead of:

<a href='http://www.__domain__name__here__.com/contact/'>Contact</a>

You should use:

<a href='/contact/'>Contact</a>

For good SEO you'll want to make sure that the URLs for the blog do not exist in the other domain, otherwise it may be marked as a duplicate site. With that being said you might also want to add a line to your robots.txt file for ONLY site1:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /blog/

Other possibilities:

Look up your IP address and include this snippet of code:

function is_dev(){
  //use the external IP from Google.
  //If you're hosting locally it's 127.0.01 unless you've changed it.
  $ip_address='xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx';

  if ($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']==$ip_address){
     return true;
  } else {
     return false;
  } 
}

if(is_dev()){
    echo $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];       
}

Remember if your ISP changes your IP, as in you have a DCHP Dynamic IP, you'll need to change the IP in that file to see the results. I would put that file in an include, then require it on pages for debugging.

If you're okay with modern methods like using the browser console log you could do this instead and view it in the browser's debugging interface:

if(is_dev()){
    echo "<script>".PHP_EOL;
    echo "console.log('".$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."');".PHP_EOL;
    echo "</script>".PHP_EOL;

Add below properties to the Edittext controller in the layout file

<Edittext
   android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
   android:cursorVisible="false"
   android:focusable="false"  />

I have been using this solution for while and it works fine for me.

how to parse JSONArray in android

getJSONArray(attrname) will get you an array from the object of that given attribute name in your case what is happening is that for

{"abridged_cast":["name": blah...]}
^ its trying to search for a value "characters"

but you need to get into the array and then do a search for "characters"

try this

String json="{'abridged_cast':[{'name':'JeffBridges','id':'162655890','characters':['JackPrescott']},{'name':'CharlesGrodin','id':'162662571','characters':['FredWilson']},{'name':'JessicaLange','id':'162653068','characters':['Dwan']},{'name':'JohnRandolph','id':'162691889','characters':['Capt.Ross']},{'name':'ReneAuberjonois','id':'162718328','characters':['Bagley']}]}";

    JSONObject jsonResponse;
    try {
        ArrayList<String> temp = new ArrayList<String>();
        jsonResponse = new JSONObject(json);
        JSONArray movies = jsonResponse.getJSONArray("abridged_cast");
        for(int i=0;i<movies.length();i++){
            JSONObject movie = movies.getJSONObject(i);
            JSONArray characters = movie.getJSONArray("characters");
            for(int j=0;j<characters.length();j++){
                temp.add(characters.getString(j));
            }
        }
        Toast.makeText(this, "Json: "+temp, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    } catch (JSONException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

checked it :)

npm command to uninstall or prune unused packages in Node.js

You can use npm-prune to remove extraneous packages.

npm prune [[<@scope>/]<pkg>...] [--production] [--dry-run] [--json]

This command removes "extraneous" packages. If a package name is provided, then only packages matching one of the supplied names are removed.

Extraneous packages are packages that are not listed on the parent package's dependencies list.

If the --production flag is specified or the NODE_ENV environment variable is set to production, this command will remove the packages specified in your devDependencies. Setting --no-production will negate NODE_ENV being set to production.

If the --dry-run flag is used then no changes will actually be made.

If the --json flag is used then the changes npm prune made (or would have made with --dry-run) are printed as a JSON object.

In normal operation with package-locks enabled, extraneous modules are pruned automatically when modules are installed and you'll only need this command with the --production flag.

If you've disabled package-locks then extraneous modules will not be removed and it's up to you to run npm prune from time-to-time to remove them.

Use npm-dedupe to reduce duplication

npm dedupe
npm ddp

Searches the local package tree and attempts to simplify the overall structure by moving dependencies further up the tree, where they can be more effectively shared by multiple dependent packages.

For example, consider this dependency graph:

a
+-- b <-- depends on [email protected]
|    `-- [email protected]
`-- d <-- depends on c@~1.0.9
     `-- [email protected]

In this case, npm-dedupe will transform the tree to:

 a
 +-- b
 +-- d
 `-- [email protected]

Because of the hierarchical nature of node's module lookup, b and d will both get their dependency met by the single c package at the root level of the tree.

The deduplication algorithm walks the tree, moving each dependency as far up in the tree as possible, even if duplicates are not found. This will result in both a flat and deduplicated tree.

How to get Bitmap from an Uri?

You can retrieve bitmap from uri like this

Bitmap bitmap = null;
try {
    bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media.getBitmap(this.getContentResolver(), imageUri);
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

global variable for all controller and views

Most popular answers here with BaseController didn't worked for me on Laravel 5.4, but they have worked on 5.3. No idea why.

I have found a way which works on Laravel 5.4 and gives variables even for views which are skipping controllers. And, of course, you can get variables from the database.

add in your app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php

class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    public function boot()
    {
        // Using view composer to set following variables globally
        view()->composer('*',function($view) {
            $view->with('user', Auth::user());
            $view->with('social', Social::all()); 
            // if you need to access in controller and views:
            Config::set('something', $something); 
        });
    }
}

How do I get a specific range of numbers from rand()?

Just to add some extra detail to the existing answers.

The mod % operation will always perform a complete division and therefore yield a remainder less than the divisor.

x % y = x - (y * floor((x/y)))

An example of a random range finding function with comments:

uint32_t rand_range(uint32_t n, uint32_t m) {
    // size of range, inclusive
    const uint32_t length_of_range = m - n + 1;

    // add n so that we don't return a number below our range
    return (uint32_t)(rand() % length_of_range + n);
}

Another interesting property as per the above:

x % y = x, if x < y

const uint32_t value = rand_range(1, RAND_MAX); // results in rand() % RAND_MAX + 1
// TRUE for all x = RAND_MAX, where x is the result of rand()
assert(value == RAND_MAX);
result of rand()

Where is SQL Profiler in my SQL Server 2008?

Maven Out of Memory Build Failure

I got same problem trying to compile "clean install" using a Lowend 512Mb ram VPS and good CPU. Run OutOfMemory and killed script repeatly.

I used export MAVEN_OPTS="-Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=350m" and worked.

Still getting some other compiling failure because is the first time i need Maven, but OutOfMemory problem has gone.

How to set label size in Bootstrap

You'll have to do 2 things to make a Bootstrap label (or anything really) adjust sizes based on screen size:

  • Use a media query per display size range to adjust the CSS.
  • Override CSS sizing set by Bootstrap. You do this by making your CSS rules more specific than Bootstrap's. By default, Bootstrap sets .label { font-size: 75% }. So any extra selector on your CSS rule will make it more specific.

Here's an example CSS listing to accomplish what you are asking, using the default 4 sizes in Bootstrap:

@media (max-width: 767) {
    /* your custom css class on a parent will increase specificity */
    /* so this rule will override Bootstrap's font size setting */
    .autosized .label { font-size: 14px; }
}

@media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 991px) {
    .autosized .label { font-size: 16px; }
}

@media (min-width: 992px) and (max-width: 1199px) {
    .autosized .label { font-size: 18px; }
}

@media (min-width: 1200px) {
    .autosized .label { font-size: 20px; }
}

Here is how it could be used in the HTML:

<!-- any ancestor could be set to autosized -->
<div class="autosized">
    ...
        ...
            <span class="label label-primary">Label 1</span>
</div>

Deleting Elements in an Array if Element is a Certain value VBA

here is a sample of code using the CopyMemory function to do the job.

It is supposedly "much faster" (depending of the size and type of the array...).

i am not the author, but i tested it :

Sub RemoveArrayElement_Str(ByRef AryVar() As String, ByVal RemoveWhich As Long) 

'// The size of the array elements
'// In the case of string arrays, they are
'// simply 32 bit pointers to BSTR's.
Dim byteLen As Byte

'// String pointers are 4 bytes
byteLen = 4

'// The copymemory operation is not necessary unless
'// we are working with an array element that is not
'// at the end of the array
If RemoveWhich < UBound(AryVar) Then
    '// Copy the block of string pointers starting at
    ' the position after the
    '// removed item back one spot.
    CopyMemory ByVal VarPtr(AryVar(RemoveWhich)), ByVal _
        VarPtr(AryVar(RemoveWhich + 1)), (byteLen) * _
        (UBound(AryVar) - RemoveWhich)
End If

'// If we are removing the last array element
'// just deinitialize the array
'// otherwise chop the array down by one.
If UBound(AryVar) = LBound(AryVar) Then
    Erase AryVar
Else
    ReDim Preserve AryVar(LBound(AryVar) To UBound(AryVar) - 1)
End If
End Sub

The type initializer for 'MyClass' threw an exception

Similar to what Muhammad Iqbal stated.. I was in a VB.NET (may also be C#) project where I did remove a key-value pair from the App.config which was referenced by a variable global to the Sub Main() of Module Main. Therefore, the exception (and break) occurs in Module Main before the Sub Main(). If only I had a break-point on the Dim, but we don't usually break on global variables. Perhaps a good reason not to declare globals referencing App.config? In other words, this...

An unhandled exception of type 'System.TypeInitializationException' occurred in Unknown Module. The type initializer for 'Namespace.Main' threw an exception.

Is caused by...

App.config

<connectionStrings>
    <!--<add name="ConnectionString1" connectionString="..." />-->

Main module

Module Main
    Dim cnnString As String = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("ConnectionString1")  '<-- BREAK HERE (EXCEPTION)

    Sub Main()

        // main code

    End Main
End Module

How do I print my Java object without getting "SomeType@2f92e0f4"?

If you Directly print any object of Person It will the ClassName@HashCode to the Code.

in your case com.foo.Person@2f92e0f4 is getting printed . Where Person is a class to which object belongs and 2f92e0f4 is hashCode of the Object.

public class Person {
  private String name;

  public Person(String name){
  this.name = name;
  }
  // getter/setter omitted

   @override
   public String toString(){
        return name;
   }
}

Now if you try to Use the object of Person then it will print the name

Class Test
 {
  public static void main(String... args){
    Person obj = new Person("YourName");
    System.out.println(obj.toString());
  }
}

How to drop SQL default constraint without knowing its name?

Useful for some columns that had multiple default constraints or check constraints created:

Modified https://stackoverflow.com/a/16359095/206730 script

Note: this script is for sys.check_constraints

declare @table_name nvarchar(128)
declare @column_name nvarchar(128)
declare @constraint_name nvarchar(128)
declare @constraint_definition nvarchar(512)

declare @df_name nvarchar(128)
declare @cmd nvarchar(128) 

PRINT 'DROP CONSTRAINT [Roles2016.UsersCRM].Estado'

declare constraints cursor for 
 select t.name TableName, c.name ColumnName, d.name ConstraintName, d.definition ConstraintDefinition
 from sys.tables t   
 join sys.check_constraints d  on d.parent_object_id = t.object_id  
 join sys.columns c  on c.object_id = t.object_id      
 and c.column_id = d.parent_column_id
 where t.name = N'Roles2016.UsersCRM' and c.name = N'Estado'

open constraints
fetch next from constraints into @table_name , @column_name, @constraint_name, @constraint_definition
while @@fetch_status = 0
BEGIN
    print 'CONSTRAINT: ' + @constraint_name
    select @cmd = 'ALTER TABLE [' + @table_name +  '] DROP CONSTRAINT [' +  @constraint_name + ']'
    print @cmd
    EXEC sp_executeSQL @cmd;

  fetch next from constraints into @table_name , @column_name, @constraint_name, @constraint_definition
END

close constraints 
deallocate constraints

Most efficient way to concatenate strings?

Try this 2 pieces of code and you will find the solution.

 static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        StringBuilder s = new StringBuilder();
        for (int i = 0; i < 10000000; i++)
        {
            s.Append( i.ToString());
        }
        Console.Write("End");
        Console.Read();
    }

Vs

static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        string s = "";
        for (int i = 0; i < 10000000; i++)
        {
            s += i.ToString();
        }
        Console.Write("End");
        Console.Read();
    }

You will find that 1st code will end really quick and the memory will be in a good amount.

The second code maybe the memory will be ok, but it will take longer... much longer. So if you have an application for a lot of users and you need speed, use the 1st. If you have an app for a short term one user app, maybe you can use both or the 2nd will be more "natural" for developers.

Cheers.

How to query first 10 rows and next time query other 10 rows from table

Just use the LIMIT clause.

SELECT * FROM `msgtable` WHERE `cdate`='18/07/2012' LIMIT 10

And from the next call you can do this way:

SELECT * FROM `msgtable` WHERE `cdate`='18/07/2012' LIMIT 10 OFFSET 10

Prevent the keyboard from displaying on activity start

Try this -

this.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);

Alternatively,

  1. you could also declare in your manifest file's activity -
<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">
<activity android:name=".Main"
          android:label="@string/app_name"
          android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"
          >
  1. If you have already been using android:windowSoftInputMode for a value like adjustResize or adjustPan, you can combine two values like:
<activity
        ...
        android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustPan"
        ...
        >

This will hide the keyboard whenever appropriate but pan the activity view in case the keyboard has to be shown.

How to resolve ambiguous column names when retrieving results?

You can do something like

And then $row['news_id'] will be the news id and $row['user_id'] will be the user id

C# : "A first chance exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException'"

If you check Thrown for Common Language Runtime Exception in the break when an exception window (Ctrl+Alt+E in Visual Studio), then the execution should break while you are debugging when the exception is thrown.

This will probably give you some insight into what is going on.

Example of the exceptions window

android:layout_height 50% of the screen size

You should do something like that:

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/widget34"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_below="@+id/tv_scanning_for"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true">

    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/lv_events"
        android:textSize="18sp"         
        android:cacheColorHint="#00000000"
        android:layout_height="1"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_weight="0dp"
        android:layout_below="@+id/tv_scanning_for"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        />

</LinearLayout>

Also use dp instead px or read about it here.

How to enable support of CPU virtualization on Macbook Pro?

Here is a way to check is virtualization is enabled or disabled by the firmware as suggested by this link in parallels.com.

How to check that Intel VT-x is supported in CPU:

  1. Open Terminal application from Application/Utilities

  2. Copy/paste command bellow

sysctl -a | grep machdep.cpu.features

  1. You may see output similar to:

Mac:~ user$ sysctl -a | grep machdep.cpu.features kern.exec: unknown type returned machdep.cpu.features: FPU VME DE PSE TSC MSR PAE MCE CX8 APIC SEP MTRR PGE MCA CMOV PAT CLFSH DS ACPI MMX FXSR SSE SSE2 SS HTT TM SSE3 MON VMX EST TM2 TPR PDCM

If you see VMX entry then CPU supports Intel VT-x feature, but it still may be disabled.

Refer to this link on Apple.com to enable hardware support for virtualization:

Call child method from parent

You can apply that logic very easily using your child component as a react custom hook.

How to implement it?

  • Your child returns a function.

  • Your child returns a JSON: {function, HTML, or other values} as the example.

In the example doesn't make sense to apply this logic but it is easy to see:

_x000D_
_x000D_
const {useState} = React;

//Parent
const Parent = () => {
  //custome hook
  const child = useChild();

  return (
    <div>
      {child.display}          
      <button onClick={child.alert}>
        Parent call child
      </button>
      {child.btn}
    </div>
  );
};

//Child
const useChild = () => {

  const [clickCount, setClick] = React.useState(0);
  
  {/* child button*/} 
  const btn = (
    <button
      onClick={() => {
        setClick(clickCount + 1);
      }}
    >
      Click me
    </button>
  );

  return {
    btn: btn,
    //function called from parent 
    alert: () => {
      alert("You clicked " + clickCount + " times");
    },
    display: <h1>{clickCount}</h1>
  };
};

How to convert a structure to a byte array in C#?

This example here is only applicable to pure blittable types, e.g., types that can be memcpy'd directly in C.

Example - well known 64-bit struct

[StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)]  
public struct Voxel
{
    public ushort m_id;
    public byte m_red, m_green, m_blue, m_alpha, m_matid, m_custom;
}

Defined exactly like this, the struct will be automatically packed as 64-bit.

Now we can create volume of voxels:

Voxel[,,] voxels = new Voxel[16,16,16];

And save them all to a byte array:

int size = voxels.Length * 8; // Well known size: 64 bits
byte[] saved = new byte[size];
GCHandle h = GCHandle.Alloc(voxels, GCHandleType.Pinned);
Marshal.Copy(h.AddrOfPinnedObject(), saved, 0, size);
h.Free();
// now feel free to save 'saved' to a File / memory stream.

However, since the OP wants to know how to convert the struct itself, our Voxel struct can have following method ToBytes:

byte[] bytes = new byte[8]; // Well known size: 64 bits
GCHandle h = GCHandle.Alloc(this, GCHandleType.Pinned);
Marshal.Copy(hh.AddrOfPinnedObject(), bytes, 0, 8);
h.Free();

Is it possible to write data to file using only JavaScript?

Some suggestions for this -

  1. If you are trying to write a file on client machine, You can't do this in any cross-browser way. IE does have methods to enable "trusted" applications to use ActiveX objects to read/write file.
  2. If you are trying to save it on your server then simply pass on the text data to your server and execute the file writing code using some server side language.
  3. To store some information on the client side that is considerably small, you can go for cookies.
  4. Using the HTML5 API for Local Storage.

INSERT VALUES WHERE NOT EXISTS

This isn't an answer. I just want to show that IF NOT EXISTS(...) INSERT method isn't safe. You have to execute first Session #1 and then Session #2. After v #2 you will see that without an UNIQUE index you could get duplicate pairs (SoftwareName,SoftwareSystemType). Delay from session #1 is used to give you enough time to execute the second script (session #2). You could reduce this delay.

Session #1 (SSMS > New Query > F5 (Execute))

What is Hash and Range Primary Key?

@vnr you can retrieve all the sort keys associated with a partition key by just using the query using partion key. No need of scan. The point here is partition key is compulsory in a query . Sort key are used only to get range of data

Apache Name Virtual Host with SSL

As far as I know, Apache supports SNI since Version 2.2.12 Sadly the documentation does not yet reflect that change.

Go for http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/NameBasedSSLVHostsWithSNI until that is finished

Can one do a for each loop in java in reverse order?

This may be an option. Hope there is a better way to start from last element than to while loop to the end.

public static void main(String[] args) {        
    List<String> a = new ArrayList<String>();
    a.add("1");a.add("2");a.add("3");a.add("4");a.add("5");

    ListIterator<String> aIter=a.listIterator();        
    while(aIter.hasNext()) aIter.next();

    for (;aIter.hasPrevious();)
    {
        String aVal = aIter.previous();
        System.out.println(aVal);           
    }
}

Is Java's assertEquals method reliable?

"The == operator checks to see if two Objects are exactly the same Object."

http://leepoint.net/notes-java/data/strings/12stringcomparison.html

String is an Object in java, so it falls into that category of comparison rules.

.toLowerCase not working, replacement function?

.toLowerCase function only exists on strings. You can call toString() on anything in javascript to get a string representation. Putting this all together:

var ans = 334;
var temp = ans.toString().toLowerCase();
alert(temp);

Read a file in Node.js

If you want to know how to read a file, within a directory, and do something with it, here you go. This also shows you how to run a command through the power shell. This is in TypeScript! I had trouble with this, so I hope this helps someone one day. Feel free to down vote me if you think its THAT unhelpful. What this did for me was webpack all of my .ts files in each of my directories within a certain folder to get ready for deployment. Hope you can put it to use!

import * as fs from 'fs';
let path = require('path');
let pathDir = '/path/to/myFolder';
const execSync = require('child_process').execSync;

let readInsideSrc = (error: any, files: any, fromPath: any) => {
    if (error) {
        console.error('Could not list the directory.', error);
        process.exit(1);
    }

    files.forEach((file: any, index: any) => {
        if (file.endsWith('.ts')) {
            //set the path and read the webpack.config.js file as text, replace path
            let config = fs.readFileSync('myFile.js', 'utf8');
            let fileName = file.replace('.ts', '');
            let replacedConfig = config.replace(/__placeholder/g, fileName);

            //write the changes to the file
            fs.writeFileSync('myFile.js', replacedConfig);

            //run the commands wanted
            const output = execSync('npm run scriptName', { encoding: 'utf-8' });
            console.log('OUTPUT:\n', output);

            //rewrite the original file back
            fs.writeFileSync('myFile.js', config);
        }
    });
};

// loop through all files in 'path'
let passToTest = (error: any, files: any) => {
    if (error) {
        console.error('Could not list the directory.', error);
        process.exit(1);
    }

    files.forEach(function (file: any, index: any) {
        let fromPath = path.join(pathDir, file);
        fs.stat(fromPath, function (error2: any, stat: any) {
            if (error2) {
                console.error('Error stating file.', error2);
                return;
            }

            if (stat.isDirectory()) {
                fs.readdir(fromPath, (error3: any, files1: any) => {
                    readInsideSrc(error3, files1, fromPath);
                });
            } else if (stat.isFile()) {
                //do nothing yet
            }

        });
    });
};

//run the bootstrap
fs.readdir(pathDir, passToTest);

ES6 Map in Typescript

EDIT (Jun 5 2019): While the idea that "TypeScript supports Map natively" is still true, since version 2.1 TypeScript supports something called Record.

type MyMapLikeType = Record<string, IPerson>;
const peopleA: MyMapLikeType = {
    "a": { name: "joe" },
    "b": { name: "bart" },
};

Unfortunately the first generic parameter (key type) is still not fully respected: even with a string type, something like peopleA[0] (a number) is still valid.


EDIT (Apr 25 2016): The answer below is old and should not be considered the best answer. TypeScript does support Maps "natively" now, so it simply allows ES6 Maps to be used when the output is ES6. For ES5, it does not provide polyfills; you need to embed them yourself.

For more information, refer to mohamed hegazy's answer below for a more modern answer, or even this reddit comment for a short version.


As of 1.5.0 beta, TypeScript does not yet support Maps. It is not yet part of the roadmap, either.

The current best solution is an object with typed key and value (sometimes called a hashmap). For an object with keys of type string, and values of type number:

var arr : { [key:string]:number; } = {};

Some caveats, however:

  1. keys can only be of type string or number
  2. It actually doesn't matter what you use as the key type, since numbers/strings are still accepted interchangeably (only the value is enforced).

With the above example:

// OK:
arr["name"] = 1; // String key is fine
arr[0] = 0; // Number key is fine too

// Not OK:
arr[{ a: "a" }] = 2; // Invalid key
arr[3] = "name"; // Invalid value

Using JavaMail with TLS

We actually have some notification code in our product that uses TLS to send mail if it is available.

You will need to set the Java Mail properties. You only need the TLS one but you might need SSL if your SMTP server uses SSL.

Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable","true");
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");  // If you need to authenticate
// Use the following if you need SSL
props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.port", d_port);
props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.class", "javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory");
props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback", "false");

You can then either pass this to a JavaMail Session or any other session instantiator like Session.getDefaultInstance(props).

Using lodash to compare jagged arrays (items existence without order)

There are already answers here, but here's my pure JS implementation. I'm not sure if it's optimal, but it sure is transparent, readable, and simple.

// Does array a contain elements of array b?
const contains = (a, b) => new Set([...a, ...b]).size === a.length
const isEqualSet = (a, b) => contains(a, b) && contains(b, a)

The rationale in contains() is that if a does contain all the elements of b, then putting them into the same set would not change the size.

For example, if const a = [1,2,3,4] and const b = [1,2], then new Set([...a, ...b]) === {1,2,3,4}. As you can see, the resulting set has the same elements as a.

From there, to make it more concise, we can boil it down to the following:

const isEqualSet = (a, b) => {
  const unionSize = new Set([...a, ...b])
  return unionSize === a.length && unionSize === b.length
}

How to stop text from taking up more than 1 line?

How do I return the response from an asynchronous call?

If you're using promises, this answer is for you.

This means AngularJS, jQuery (with deferred), native XHR's replacement (fetch), EmberJS, BackboneJS's save or any node library that returns promises.

Your code should be something along the lines of this:

function foo() {
    var data;
    // or $.get(...).then, or request(...).then, or query(...).then
    fetch("/echo/json").then(function(response){
        data = response.json();
    });
    return data;
}

var result = foo(); // result is always undefined no matter what.

Felix Kling did a fine job writing an answer for people using jQuery with callbacks for AJAX. I have an answer for native XHR. This answer is for generic usage of promises either on the frontend or backend.


The core issue

The JavaScript concurrency model in the browser and on the server with NodeJS/io.js is asynchronous and reactive.

Whenever you call a method that returns a promise, the then handlers are always executed asynchronously - that is, after the code below them that is not in a .then handler.

This means when you're returning data the then handler you've defined did not execute yet. This in turn means that the value you're returning has not been set to the correct value in time.

Here is a simple analogy for the issue:

_x000D_
_x000D_
    function getFive(){_x000D_
        var data;_x000D_
        setTimeout(function(){ // set a timer for one second in the future_x000D_
           data = 5; // after a second, do this_x000D_
        }, 1000);_x000D_
        return data;_x000D_
    }_x000D_
    document.body.innerHTML = getFive(); // `undefined` here and not 5
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

The value of data is undefined since the data = 5 part has not executed yet. It will likely execute in a second but by that time it is irrelevant to the returned value.

Since the operation did not happen yet (AJAX, server call, IO, timer) you're returning the value before the request got the chance to tell your code what that value is.

One possible solution to this problem is to code re-actively , telling your program what to do when the calculation completed. Promises actively enable this by being temporal (time-sensitive) in nature.

Quick recap on promises

A Promise is a value over time. Promises have state, they start as pending with no value and can settle to:

  • fulfilled meaning that the computation completed successfully.
  • rejected meaning that the computation failed.

A promise can only change states once after which it will always stay at the same state forever. You can attach then handlers to promises to extract their value and handle errors. then handlers allow chaining of calls. Promises are created by using APIs that return them. For example, the more modern AJAX replacement fetch or jQuery's $.get return promises.

When we call .then on a promise and return something from it - we get a promise for the processed value. If we return another promise we'll get amazing things, but let's hold our horses.

With promises

Let's see how we can solve the above issue with promises. First, let's demonstrate our understanding of promise states from above by using the Promise constructor for creating a delay function:

function delay(ms){ // takes amount of milliseconds
    // returns a new promise
    return new Promise(function(resolve, reject){
        setTimeout(function(){ // when the time is up
            resolve(); // change the promise to the fulfilled state
        }, ms);
    });
}

Now, after we converted setTimeout to use promises, we can use then to make it count:

_x000D_
_x000D_
function delay(ms){ // takes amount of milliseconds_x000D_
  // returns a new promise_x000D_
  return new Promise(function(resolve, reject){_x000D_
    setTimeout(function(){ // when the time is up_x000D_
      resolve(); // change the promise to the fulfilled state_x000D_
    }, ms);_x000D_
  });_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
function getFive(){_x000D_
  // we're RETURNING the promise, remember, a promise is a wrapper over our value_x000D_
  return delay(100).then(function(){ // when the promise is ready_x000D_
      return 5; // return the value 5, promises are all about return values_x000D_
  })_x000D_
}_x000D_
// we _have_ to wrap it like this in the call site, we can't access the plain value_x000D_
getFive().then(function(five){ _x000D_
   document.body.innerHTML = five;_x000D_
});
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Basically, instead of returning a value which we can't do because of the concurrency model - we're returning a wrapper for a value that we can unwrap with then. It's like a box you can open with then.

Applying this

This stands the same for your original API call, you can:

function foo() {
    // RETURN the promise
    return fetch("/echo/json").then(function(response){
        return response.json(); // process it inside the `then`
    });
}

foo().then(function(response){
    // access the value inside the `then`
})

So this works just as well. We've learned we can't return values from already asynchronous calls but we can use promises and chain them to perform processing. We now know how to return the response from an asynchronous call.

ES2015 (ES6)

ES6 introduces generators which are functions that can return in the middle and then resume the point they were at. This is typically useful for sequences, for example:

function* foo(){ // notice the star, this is ES6 so new browsers/node/io only
    yield 1;
    yield 2;
    while(true) yield 3;
}

Is a function that returns an iterator over the sequence 1,2,3,3,3,3,.... which can be iterated. While this is interesting on its own and opens room for a lot of possibility there is one particular interesting case.

If the sequence we're producing is a sequence of actions rather than numbers - we can pause the function whenever an action is yielded and wait for it before we resume the function. So instead of a sequence of numbers, we need a sequence of future values - that is: promises.

This somewhat tricky but very powerful trick lets us write asynchronous code in a synchronous manner. There are several "runners" that do this for you, writing one is a short few lines of code but is beyond the scope of this answer. I'll be using Bluebird's Promise.coroutine here, but there are other wrappers like co or Q.async.

var foo = coroutine(function*(){
    var data = yield fetch("/echo/json"); // notice the yield
    // code here only executes _after_ the request is done
    return data.json(); // data is defined
});

This method returns a promise itself, which we can consume from other coroutines. For example:

var main = coroutine(function*(){
   var bar = yield foo(); // wait our earlier coroutine, it returns a promise
   // server call done here, code below executes when done
   var baz = yield fetch("/api/users/"+bar.userid); // depends on foo's result
   console.log(baz); // runs after both requests done
});
main();

ES2016 (ES7)

In ES7, this is further standardized, there are several proposals right now but in all of them you can await promise. This is just "sugar" (nicer syntax) for the ES6 proposal above by adding the async and await keywords. Making the above example:

async function foo(){
    var data = await fetch("/echo/json"); // notice the await
    // code here only executes _after_ the request is done
    return data.json(); // data is defined
}

It still returns a promise just the same :)

A fast way to delete all rows of a datatable at once

If you are running your code against a sqlserver database then
use this command

string sqlTrunc = "TRUNCATE TABLE " + yourTableName
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sqlTrunc, conn);
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();

this will be the fastest method and will delete everything from your table and reset the identity counter to zero.

The TRUNCATE keyword is supported also by other RDBMS.

5 years later:
Looking back at this answer I need to add something. The answer above is good only if you are absolutely sure about the source of the value in the yourTableName variable. This means that you shouldn't get this value from your user because he can type anything and this leads to Sql Injection problems well described in this famous comic strip. Always present your user a choice between hard coded names (tables or other symbolic values) using a non editable UI.

C# Debug - cannot start debugging because the debug target is missing

For those with this kind of problem - another solution: Pay attention also to Warnings when you build solution. For example, I had referenced a dll built with higher version of .NET (4.5.2) than my main project (4.5) After I referenced a dll built with 4.0 build process was successful.

Returning JSON from a PHP Script

An easy way to format your domain objects to JSON is to use the Marshal Serializer. Then pass the data to json_encode and send the correct Content-Type header for your needs. If you are using a framework like Symfony, you don't need to take care of setting the headers manually. There you can use the JsonResponse.

For example the correct Content-Type for dealing with Javascript would be application/javascript.

Or if you need to support some pretty old browsers the safest would be text/javascript.

For all other purposes like a mobile app use application/json as the Content-Type.

Here is a small example:

<?php
...
$userCollection = [$user1, $user2, $user3];

$data = Marshal::serializeCollectionCallable(function (User $user) {
    return [
        'username' => $user->getUsername(),
        'email'    => $user->getEmail(),
        'birthday' => $user->getBirthday()->format('Y-m-d'),
        'followers => count($user->getFollowers()),
    ];
}, $userCollection);

header('Content-Type: application/json');
echo json_encode($data);

Django DateField default options

Your mistake is using the datetime module instead of the date module. You meant to do this:

from datetime import date
date = models.DateField(_("Date"), default=date.today)

If you only want to capture the current date the proper way to handle this is to use the auto_now_add parameter:

date = models.DateField(_("Date"), auto_now_add=True)

However, the modelfield docs clearly state that auto_now_add and auto_now will always use the current date and are not a default value that you can override.

What does "export default" do in JSX?

Export like export default HelloWorld; and import, such as import React from 'react' are part of the ES6 modules system.

A module is a self contained unit that can expose assets to other modules using export, and acquire assets from other modules using import.

In your code:

import React from 'react'; // get the React object from the react module

class HelloWorld extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return <p>Hello, world!</p>;
  }
}

export default HelloWorld; // expose the HelloWorld component to other modules

In ES6 there are two kinds of exports:

Named exports - for example export function func() {} is a named export with the name of func. Named modules can be imported using import { exportName } from 'module';. In this case, the name of the import should be the same as the name of the export. To import the func in the example, you'll have to use import { func } from 'module';. There can be multiple named exports in one module.

Default export - is the value that will be imported from the module, if you use the simple import statement import X from 'module'. X is the name that will be given locally to the variable assigned to contain the value, and it doesn't have to be named like the origin export. There can be only one default export.

A module can contain both named exports and a default export, and they can be imported together using import defaultExport, { namedExport1, namedExport3, etc... } from 'module';.

How to get a certain element in a list, given the position?

Maybe not the most efficient way. But you could convert the list into a vector.

#include <list>
#include <vector>

list<Object> myList;

vector<Object> myVector(myList.begin(), myList.end());

Then access the vector using the [x] operator.

auto x = MyVector[0];

You could put that in a helper function:

#include <memory>
#include <vector>
#include <list>

template<class T>
shared_ptr<vector<T>> 
ListToVector(list<T> List) {
shared_ptr<vector<T>> Vector {
        new vector<string>(List.begin(), List.end()) }
return Vector;
}

Then use the helper funciton like this:

auto MyVector = ListToVector(Object);
auto x = MyVector[0];

Javascript : Send JSON Object with Ajax?

Adding Json.stringfy around the json that fixed the issue

while installing vc_redist.x64.exe, getting error "Failed to configure per-machine MSU package."

I would like to give you a background on Universal CRT this would help you in understanding as to why the system should be updated before installing vc_redist.x64.exe.

  1. A large portion of the C-runtime moved into the OS in Windows 10 (ucrtbase.dll) and is serviced just like any other OS DLL (e.g. kernel32.dll). It is no longer serviced by Visual Studio directly. MSU packages are the file type for Windows Updates.
  2. In order to get the Windows 10 Universal CRT to earlier OSes, Windows Update packages were created to bring this OS component downlevel. KB2999226 brings the Windows 10 RTM Universal CRT to downlevel platforms (Windows Vista through Windows 8.1). KB3118401 brings Windows 10 November Update to the Universal CRT to downlevel platforms.
    • Windows XP (latest SP) is an exception here. Windows Servicing does not provide downlevel packages for that OS, so Visual Studio (Visual C++) provides a mechanism to install the UCRT into System32 via the VCRedist and MSMs.
  3. The Windows Universal Runtime is included in the VC Redist exe package as it has dependency on the Windows Universal Runtime (KB2999226).
  4. Windows 10 is the only OS that ships the UCRT in-box. All prior OSes obtain the UCRT via Windows Update only. This applies to all Vista->8.1 and associated Server SKUs.

For Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 the Windows Universal Runtime must be installed via KB2999226. However it has a prerequisite update KB2919355 which contains updates that facilitate installing the KB2999226 package.

Why does KB2999226 not always install when the runtime is installed from the redistributable? What could prevent KB2999226 from installing as part of the runtime?

The UCRT MSU included in the VCRedist is installed by making a call into the Windows Update service and the KB can fail to install based upon Windows Update service activity/state:

  1. If the machine has not updated to the required servicing baseline, the UCRT MSU will be viewed as being “Not Applicable”. Ensure KB2919355 is installed. Also, there were known issues with KB2919355 so before this the following hotfix should be installed. KB2939087 KB2975061
  2. If the Windows Update service is installing other updates when the VCRedist installs, you can either see long delays or errors indicating the machine is busy.
    • This one can be resolved by waiting and trying again later (which may be why installing via Windows Update UI at a later time succeeds).
  3. If the Windows Update service is in a non-ready state, you can see errors reflecting that.

    • We recently investigated a failure with an error code indicating the WUSA service was shutting down.
  4. To identify if the prerequisite KB2919355 is installed there are 2 options:

    1. Registry key: 64bit hive

      HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\Packages\Package_for_KB2919355~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.3.1.14
      CurrentState = 112

      CurrentState = 112
      
    2. Or check the file version of:

      C:\Windows\SysWOW64\wuaueng.dll
      C:\Windows\System32\wuaueng.dll
      

      is 7.9.9600.17031 or later

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

Of course, you may be able to do the whole thing in SQL:

update my_table
set x = y
where (select count(*) from other_table) >= 1;

It's difficult to prove that something is not possible. Other than the simple test case above, you can look at the syntax diagram for the IF statement; you won't see a SELECT statement in any of the branches.

Binding a list in @RequestParam

One way you could accomplish this (in a hackish way) is to create a wrapper class for the List. Like this:

class ListWrapper {
     List<String> myList; 
     // getters and setters
}

Then your controller method signature would look like this:

public String controllerMethod(ListWrapper wrapper) {
    ....
}

No need to use the @RequestParam or @ModelAttribute annotation if the collection name you pass in the request matches the collection field name of the wrapper class, in my example your request parameters should look like this:

myList[0]     : 'myValue1'
myList[1]     : 'myValue2'
myList[2]     : 'myValue3'
otherParam    : 'otherValue'
anotherParam  : 'anotherValue'

How to pretty print XML from the command line?

You can also use tidy, which may need to be installed first (e.g. on Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install tidy).

For this, you would issue something like following:

tidy -xml -i your-file.xml > output.xml

Note: has many additional readability flags, but word-wrap behavior is a bit annoying to untangle (http://tidy.sourceforge.net/docs/quickref.html).

How to resize a custom view programmatically?

What is the difference between a hash join and a merge join (Oracle RDBMS )?

I just want to edit this for posterity that the tags for oracle weren't added when I answered this question. My response was more applicable to MS SQL.

Merge join is the best possible as it exploits the ordering, resulting in a single pass down the tables to do the join. IF you have two tables (or covering indexes) that have their ordering the same such as a primary key and an index of a table on that key then a merge join would result if you performed that action.

Hash join is the next best, as it's usually done when one table has a small number (relatively) of items, its effectively creating a temp table with hashes for each row which is then searched continuously to create the join.

Worst case is nested loop which is order (n * m) which means there is no ordering or size to exploit and the join is simply, for each row in table x, search table y for joins to do.

Can you center a Button in RelativeLayout?

Use the attribute android:centerInParent="true" inside a view , when you want to center the view in Relative layout.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/main_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    >
    <TextView
        android:layout_centerInParent="true"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="NWE"
        android:textSize="30dp"/>
</RelativeLayout>

How can I decrypt MySQL passwords

How can I decrypt MySQL passwords

You can't really because they are hashed and not encrypted.

Here's the essence of the PASSWORD function that current MySQL uses. You can execute it from the sql terminal:

mysql> SELECT SHA1(UNHEX(SHA1("password")));

+------------------------------------------+
| SHA1(UNHEX(SHA1("password")))            |
+------------------------------------------+
| 2470C0C06DEE42FD1618BB99005ADCA2EC9D1E19 |
+------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

How can I change or retrieve these?

If you are having trouble logging in on a debian or ubuntu system, first try this (thanks to tohuwawohu at https://askubuntu.com/questions/120718/cant-log-to-mysql):

$ sudo cat /etc/mysql/debian.conf | grep -i password
...
password: QWERTY12345...

Then, log in with the debian maintenance user:

$ mysql -u debian-sys-maint -p
password:

Finally, change the user's password:

mysql> UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('new password') WHERE User='root';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
mysql> quit;

When I look in the PHPmyAdmin the passwords are encrypted

Related, if you need to dump the user database for the relevant information, try:

mysql> SELECT User,Host,Password FROM mysql.user;
+------------------+-----------+----------------------+
| User             | Host      | Password             |
+------------------+-----------+----------------------+
| root             | localhost | *0123456789ABCDEF... |
| root             | 127.0.0.1 | *0123456789ABCDEF... |
| root             | ::1       | *0123456789ABCDEF... |
| debian-sys-maint | localhost | *ABCDEF0123456789... |
+------------------+-----------+----------------------+

And yes, those passwords are NOT salted. So an attacker can prebuild the tables and apply them to all MySQL installations. In addition, the adversary can learn which users have the same passwords.

Needles to say, the folks at mySQL are not following best practices. John Steven did an excellent paper on Password Storage Best Practice at OWASP's Password Storage Cheat Sheet. In fairness to the MySQL folks, they may be doing it because of pain points in the architecture, design or implementation (I simply don't know).


If you use the PASSWORD and UPDATE commands and the change does not work, then see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html. Even though the page is named "resetting permissions", its really about how to change a password. (Its befuddling the MySQL password change procedure is so broken that you have to jump through the hoops, but it is what it is).

Keyboard shortcut to comment lines in Sublime Text 3

It seems a bug: http://www.sublimetext.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=11157&start=0

As a workaround, go to Preferences->Key Bindings - User and add these keybindings (if you're using Linux):

{ "keys": ["ctrl+7"], "command": "toggle_comment", "args": { "block": false } },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+shift+7"], "command": "toggle_comment", "args": { "block": true } }

Update: This also works on Windows 8 (see @Sosi's comment)

What does __FILE__ mean in Ruby?

__FILE__ is the filename with extension of the file containing the code being executed.

In foo.rb, __FILE__ would be "foo.rb".

If foo.rb were in the dir /home/josh then File.dirname(__FILE__) would return /home/josh.

How to delete a file or folder?

For deleting files:

os.unlink(path, *, dir_fd=None)

or

os.remove(path, *, dir_fd=None)

Both functions are semantically same. This functions removes (deletes) the file path. If path is not a file and it is directory, then exception is raised.

For deleting folders:

shutil.rmtree(path, ignore_errors=False, onerror=None)

or

os.rmdir(path, *, dir_fd=None)

In order to remove whole directory trees, shutil.rmtree() can be used. os.rmdir only works when the directory is empty and exists.

For deleting folders recursively towards parent:

os.removedirs(name)

It remove every empty parent directory with self until parent which has some content

ex. os.removedirs('abc/xyz/pqr') will remove the directories by order 'abc/xyz/pqr', 'abc/xyz' and 'abc' if they are empty.

For more info check official doc: os.unlink , os.remove, os.rmdir , shutil.rmtree, os.removedirs

How can I extract a good quality JPEG image from a video file with ffmpeg?

Output the images in a lossless format such as PNG:

ffmpeg.exe -i 10fps.h264 -r 10 -f image2 10fps.h264_%03d.png

Edit/Update: Not quite sure why I originally gave a strange filename example (with a possibly made-up extension).

I have since found that -vsync 0 is simpler than -r 10 because it avoids needing to know the frame rate.

This is something like what I currently use:

mkdir stills
ffmpeg -i my-film.mp4 -vsync 0 -f image2 stills/my-film-%06d.png

To extract only the key frames (which are likely to be of higher quality post-edit):

ffmpeg -skip_frame nokey -i my-film.mp4 -vsync 0 -f image2 stills/my-film-%06d.png

Then use another program (where you can more precisely specify quality, subsampling and DCT method – e.g. GIMP) to convert the PNGs you want to JPEG.

It is possible to obtain slightly sharper images in JPEG format this way than is possible with -qmin 1 -q:v 1 and outputting as JPEG directly from ffmpeg.

CronJob not running

I've found another reason for user's crontab not running: the hostname is not present on the hosts file:

user@ubuntu:~$ cat /etc/hostname
ubuntu

Now the hosts file:

user@ubuntu:~$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

This is on a Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS, the way to fix it is adding the hostname to the hosts file so it resembles something like this:

user@ubuntu:~$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 ubuntu localhost

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

Python + Django page redirect

If you want to redirect a whole subfolder, the url argument in RedirectView is actually interpolated, so you can do something like this in urls.py:

from django.conf.urls.defaults import url
from django.views.generic import RedirectView

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^old/(?P<path>.*)$', RedirectView.as_view(url='/new_path/%(path)s')),
]

The ?P<path> you capture will be fed into RedirectView. This captured variable will then be replaced in the url argument you gave, giving us /new_path/yay/mypath if your original path was /old/yay/mypath.

You can also do ….as_view(url='…', query_string=True) if you want to copy the query string over as well.

Unable to get spring boot to automatically create database schema

Did you try running it with:

spring.jpa.generate-ddl=true

and then

spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto = create

By default the DDL execution (or validation) is deferred until the ApplicationContext has started. There is also a spring.jpa.generate-ddl flag, but it is not used if Hibernate autoconfig is active because the ddl-auto settings are more fine-grained.

see spring-boot-features

Disable/turn off inherited CSS3 transitions

If you want to disable a single transition property, you can do:

transition: color 0s;

(since a zero second transition is the same as no transition.)

Random float number generation

In modern c++ you may use the <random> header that came with c++11.
To get random float's you can use std::uniform_real_distribution<>.

You can use a function to generate the numbers and if you don't want the numbers to be the same all the time, set the engine and distribution to be static.
Example:

float get_random()
{
    static std::default_random_engine e;
    static std::uniform_real_distribution<> dis(0, 1); // rage 0 - 1
    return dis(e);
}

It's ideal to place the float's in a container such as std::vector:

int main()
{
    std::vector<float> nums;
    for (int i{}; i != 5; ++i) // Generate 5 random floats
        nums.emplace_back(get_random());

    for (const auto& i : nums) std::cout << i << " ";
}

Example output:

0.0518757 0.969106 0.0985112 0.0895674 0.895542

When to use 'npm start' and when to use 'ng serve'?

For a project that's using the CLI, you will usually use ng serve. In other cases you may want to use npm start. Here the detailed explanation:

ng serve

Will serve a project that is 'Angular CLI aware', i.e. a project that has been created using the Angular CLI, particularly using:

ng new app-name

So, if you've scaffolded a project using the CLI, you'll probably want to use ng serve

npm start

This can be used in the case of a project that is not Angular CLI aware (or it can simply be used to run 'ng serve' for a project that's Angular CLI aware)

As the other answers state, this is an npm command that will run the npm command(s) from the package.json that have the identifier 'start', and it doesn't just have to run 'ng serve'. It's possible to have something like the following in the package.json:

   "scripts": {
     "build:watch": "tsc -p src/ -w",
     "serve": "lite-server -c=bs-config.json",
     "start": "concurrently \"npm run build:watch\" \"npm run serve\""
     ...
   },
   "devDependencies": {
     "concurrently": "^3.2.0",
     "lite-server": "^2.2.2",

In this case, 'npm start' will result in the following commands to be run:

concurrently "npm run build:watch" "npm run serve"

This will concurrently run the TypeScript compiler (watching for code changes), and run the Node lite-server (which users BrowserSync)

jquery function setInterval

Clear text area

Use $('textarea').val('').

The problem with using $('textarea').text('') , or $('textarea').html('') for that matter is that it will only erase what was in the original DOM sent by the server. If a user clears it and then enters new input, the clear button will no longer work. Using .val('') handles the user input case properly.

How to remove commits from a pull request

This is what helped me:

  1. Create a new branch with the existing one. Let's call the existing one branch_old and new as branch_new.

  2. Reset branch_new to a stable state, when you did not have any problem commit at all. For example, to put it at your local master's level do the following:

    git reset —hard master git push —force origin

  3. cherry-pick the commits from branch_old into branch_new

  4. git push

Is there a git-merge --dry-run option?

Safely override C++ virtual functions

Make the function abstract, so that derived classes have no other choice than to override it.

@Ray Your code is invalid.

class parent {
public:
  virtual void handle_event(int something) const = 0 {

  }
};

Abstract functions cannot have bodies defined inline. It must be modified to become

class parent {
public:
  virtual void handle_event(int something) const = 0;
};

void parent::handle_event( int something ) { /* do w/e you want here. */ }

What are the differences between Mustache.js and Handlebars.js?

Mustache pros:

  • Very popular choice with a large, active community.
  • Server side support in many languages, including Java.
  • Logic-less templates do a great job of forcing you to separate presentation from logic.
  • Clean syntax leads to templates that are easy to build, read, and maintain.

Mustache cons:

  • A little too logic-less: basic tasks (e.g. label alternate rows with different CSS classes) are difficult.
  • View logic is often pushed back to the server or implemented as a "lambda" (callable function).
  • For lambdas to work on client and server, you must write them in JavaScript.

Handlebars pros:

  • Logic-less templates do a great job of forcing you to separate presentation from logic.
  • Clean syntax leads to templates that are easy to build, read, and maintain.
  • Compiled rather than interpreted templates.
  • Better support for paths than mustache (ie, reaching deep into a context object).
  • Better support for global helpers than mustache.

Handlebars cons:

  • Requires server-side JavaScript to render on the server.

htaccess redirect to https://www

BAD SOLUTION AND WHY!

Don't ever use the solution below because when you are using their code that is something like:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule .* https://www.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

The browser goes to:

http://example.com

Then redirects to:

Then redirects to:

https://www.example.com

This is too much request to the server.

Most of the answers even accepted one has this problem.

Git Server Like GitHub?

You can just set up an ssh server and run a central repository there. All developers then simply agree (as a matter of policy) to push to the server when they are done making commits. This is the usage pattern at my workplace. Very CVS and SVN-like.

  1. Find somewhere to put the repository (/var/gitroot for example).
  2. Create a new repo (mkdir project.git && cd project.git && git init --bare --shared=group).
  3. Then on your client, clone the remote repo (git clone ssh://yourserver.com/var/gitroot/project.git && cd project)
  4. add some files (git add README)
  5. commit (git commit -m "Initial import"),
  6. push (git push origin master)

This should set things up for you.

Get table column names in MySQL?

You can use DESCRIBE:

DESCRIBE my_table;

Or in newer versions you can use INFORMATION_SCHEMA:

SELECT COLUMN_NAME
  FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
  WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = 'my_database' AND TABLE_NAME = 'my_table';

Or you can use SHOW COLUMNS:

SHOW COLUMNS FROM my_table;

Or to get column names with comma in a line:

SELECT group_concat(COLUMN_NAME)
  FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
  WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = 'my_database' AND TABLE_NAME = 'my_table';

How can I change Eclipse theme?

Take a look at rogerdudler/eclipse-ui-themes . In the readme there is a link to a file that you need to extract into your eclipse/dropins folder.

When you have done that go to

Window -> Preferences -> General -> Appearance

And change the theme from GTK (or what ever it is currently) to Dark Juno (or Dark).

That will change the UI to a nice dark theme but to get the complete look and feel you can get the Eclipse Color Theme plugin from eclipsecolorthemes.org. The easiest way is to add this update URI to "Help -> Install New Software" and install it from there.

Eclipse Color Themes

This adds a "Color Theme" menu item under

Window -> Preferences -> Appearance

Where you can select from a large range of editor themes. My preferred one to use with PyDev is Wombat. For Java Solarized Dark
