Bash script error [: !=: unary operator expected

Or for what seems like rampant overkill, but is actually simplistic ... Pretty much covers all of your cases, and no empty string or unary concerns.

In the case the first arg is '-v', then do your conditional ps -ef, else in all other cases throw the usage.

#!/bin/sh
case $1 in
  '-v') if [ "$1" = -v ]; then
         echo "`ps -ef | grep -v '\['`"
        else
         echo "`ps -ef | grep '\[' | grep root`"
        fi;;
     *) echo "usage: $0 [-v]"
        exit 1;; #It is good practice to throw a code, hence allowing $? check
esac

If one cares not where the '-v' arg is, then simply drop the case inside a loop. The would allow walking all the args and finding '-v' anywhere (provided it exists). This means command line argument order is not important. Be forewarned, as presented, the variable arg_match is set, thus it is merely a flag. It allows for multiple occurrences of the '-v' arg. One could ignore all other occurrences of '-v' easy enough.

#!/bin/sh

usage ()
 {
  echo "usage: $0 [-v]"
  exit 1
 }

unset arg_match

for arg in $*
 do
  case $arg in
    '-v') if [ "$arg" = -v ]; then
           echo "`ps -ef | grep -v '\['`"
          else
           echo "`ps -ef | grep '\[' | grep root`"
          fi
          arg_match=1;; # this is set, but could increment.
       *) ;;
  esac
done

if [ ! $arg_match ]
 then
  usage
fi

But, allow multiple occurrences of an argument is convenient to use in situations such as:

$ adduser -u:sam -s -f -u:bob -trace -verbose

We care not about the order of the arguments, and even allow multiple -u arguments. Yes, it is a simple matter to also allow:

$ adduser -u sam -s -f -u bob -trace -verbose

Combine two or more columns in a dataframe into a new column with a new name

Use paste.

 df$x <- paste(df$n,df$s)
 df
#   n  s     b    x
# 1 2 aa  TRUE 2 aa
# 2 3 bb FALSE 3 bb
# 3 5 cc  TRUE 5 cc

How to properly seed random number generator

Small update due to golang api change, please omit .UTC() :

time.Now().UTC().UnixNano() -> time.Now().UnixNano()

import (
    "fmt"
    "math/rand"
    "time"
)

func main() {
    rand.Seed(time.Now().UnixNano())
    fmt.Println(randomInt(100, 1000))
}

func randInt(min int, max int) int {
    return min + rand.Intn(max-min)
}

Pip install - Python 2.7 - Windows 7

It is possible that in python 2.7 pip is installed by default. if it is not then you can execute

python -m ensurepip --default-pip

This worked for me.

Setting value of active workbook in Excel VBA

Try this.

Dim Workbk as workbook
Set Workbk = thisworkbook

Now everything you program will apply just for your containing macro workbook.

Check if an object belongs to a class in Java

If you ever need to do this dynamically, you can use the following:

boolean isInstance(Object object, Class<?> type) {
    return type.isInstance(object);
}

You can get an instance of java.lang.Class by calling the instance method Object::getClass on any object (returns the Class which that object is an instance of), or you can do class literals (for example, String.class, List.class, int[].class). There are other ways as well, through the reflection API (which Class itself is the entry point for).

File Upload using AngularJS

<form id="csv_file_form" ng-submit="submit_import_csv()" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <input ng-model='file' type="file"/>
    <input type="submit" value='Submit'/>
</form>

In angularJS controller

$scope.submit_import_csv = function(){

        var formData = new FormData(document.getElementById("csv_file_form"));
        console.log(formData);

        $.ajax({
            url: "import",
            type: 'POST',
            data:  formData,
            mimeType:"multipart/form-data",
            contentType: false,
            cache: false,
            processData:false,
            success: function(result, textStatus, jqXHR)
            {
            console.log(result);
            }
        });

        return false;
    }

Why use Gradle instead of Ant or Maven?

Gradle can be used for many purposes - it's a much better Swiss army knife than Ant - but it's specifically focused on multi-project builds.

First of all, Gradle is a dependency programming tool which also means it's a programming tool. With Gradle you can execute any random task in your setup and Gradle will make sure all declared dependecies are properly and timely executed. Your code can be spread across many directories in any kind of layout (tree, flat, scattered, ...).

Gradle has two distinct phases: evaluation and execution. Basically, during evaluation Gradle will look for and evaluate build scripts in the directories it is supposed to look. During execution Gradle will execute tasks which have been loaded during evaluation taking into account task inter-dependencies.

On top of these dependency programming features Gradle adds project and JAR dependency features by intergration with Apache Ivy. As you know Ivy is a much more powerful and much less opinionated dependency management tool than say Maven.

Gradle detects dependencies between projects and between projects and JARs. Gradle works with Maven repositories (download and upload) like the iBiblio one or your own repositories but also supports and other kind of repository infrastructure you might have.

In multi-project builds Gradle is both adaptable and adapts to the build's structure and architecture. You don't have to adapt your structure or architecture to your build tool as would be required with Maven.

Gradle tries very hard not to get in your way, an effort Maven almost never makes. Convention is good yet so is flexibility. Gradle gives you many more features than Maven does but most importantly in many cases Gradle will offer you a painless transition path away from Maven.

Node.js res.setHeader('content-type', 'text/javascript'); pushing the response javascript as file download

You can directly set the content type like below:

res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});

For reference go through the nodejs Docs link.

C++ performance vs. Java/C#

JIT (Just In Time Compiling) can be incredibly fast because it optimizes for the target platform.

This means that it can take advantage of any compiler trick your CPU can support, regardless of what CPU the developer wrote the code on.

The basic concept of the .NET JIT works like this (heavily simplified):

Calling a method for the first time:

  • Your program code calls a method Foo()
  • The CLR looks at the type that implements Foo() and gets the metadata associated with it
  • From the metadata, the CLR knows what memory address the IL (Intermediate byte code) is stored in.
  • The CLR allocates a block of memory, and calls the JIT.
  • The JIT compiles the IL into native code, places it into the allocated memory, and then changes the function pointer in Foo()'s type metadata to point to this native code.
  • The native code is ran.

Calling a method for the second time:

  • Your program code calls a method Foo()
  • The CLR looks at the type that implements Foo() and finds the function pointer in the metadata.
  • The native code at this memory location is ran.

As you can see, the 2nd time around, its virtually the same process as C++, except with the advantage of real time optimizations.

That said, there are still other overhead issues that slow down a managed language, but the JIT helps a lot.

form_for with nested resources

Be sure to have both objects created in controller: @post and @comment for the post, eg:

@post = Post.find params[:post_id]
@comment = Comment.new(:post=>@post)

Then in view:

<%= form_for([@post, @comment]) do |f| %>

Be sure to explicitly define the array in the form_for, not just comma separated like you have above.

Maven Installation OSX Error Unsupported major.minor version 51.0

In Eclipse, you don't need to change JAVA_HOME, you just need to change the run configuration for Maven to something above 1.6 (even if your project is on Java 6, Maven shouldn't be). Right-click the project, choose Maven Build or Run As > Run Configurations and set the correct JDK version.

relative path in require_once doesn't work

I just came across this same problem, where it was all working fine, up until the point I had an includes within another includes.

require_once '../script/pdocrud.php';  //This worked fine up until I had an includes within another includes, then I got this error:
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '../script/pdocrud.php' (include_path='.:/opt/php52/lib/php')

Solution 1. (undesired hardcoding of my public html folder name, but it works):

require_once $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . '/orders.simplystyles.com/script/pdocrud.php';

Solution 2. (undesired comment above about DIR only working since php 5.3, but it works):

require_once __DIR__. '/../script/pdocrud.php';

Solution 3. (I can't see any downsides, and it works perfectly in my php 5.3):

require_once dirname(__FILE__). '/../script/pdocrud.php';

How to find the duration of difference between two dates in java?

It worked for me can try with this, hope it will be helpful . Let me know if any concern .

Date startDate = java.util.Calendar.getInstance().getTime(); //set your start time
Date endDate = java.util.Calendar.getInstance().getTime(); // set  your end time

long duration = endDate.getTime() - startDate.getTime();


long diffInSeconds = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(duration);
long diffInMinutes = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(duration);
long diffInHours = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toHours(duration);
long diffInDays = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toDays(duration);

Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Diff"
        + duration + diffInDays + diffInHours + diffInMinutes + diffInSeconds, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); **// Toast message for android .**

System.out.println("Diff" + duration + diffInDays + diffInHours + diffInMinutes + diffInSeconds); **// Print console message for Java .**

Recursion in Python? RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object

Python lacks the tail recursion optimizations common in functional languages like lisp. In Python, recursion is limited to 999 calls (see sys.getrecursionlimit).

If 999 depth is more than you are expecting, check if the implementation lacks a condition that stops recursion, or if this test may be wrong for some cases.

I dare to say that in Python, pure recursive algorithm implementations are not correct/safe. A fib() implementation limited to 999 is not really correct. It is always possible to convert recursive into iterative, and doing so is trivial.

It is not reached often because in many recursive algorithms the depth tend to be logarithmic. If it is not the case with your algorithm and you expect recursion deeper than 999 calls you have two options:

1) You can change the recursion limit with sys.setrecursionlimit(n) until the maximum allowed for your platform:

sys.setrecursionlimit(limit):

Set the maximum depth of the Python interpreter stack to limit. This limit prevents infinite recursion from causing an overflow of the C stack and crashing Python.

The highest possible limit is platform-dependent. A user may need to set the limit higher when she has a program that requires deep recursion and a platform that supports a higher limit. This should be done with care, because a too-high limit can lead to a crash.

2) You can try to convert the algorithm from recursive to iterative. If recursion depth is bigger than allowed by your platform, it is the only way to fix the problem. There are step by step instructions on the Internet and it should be a straightforward operation for someone with some CS education. If you are having trouble with that, post a new question so we can help.

getting the reason why websockets closed with close code 1006

In my and possibly @BIOHAZARD case it was nginx proxy timeout. In default it's 60 sec without activity in socket

I changed it to 24h in nginx and it resolved problem

proxy_read_timeout 86400s;
proxy_send_timeout 86400s;

SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:derby://localhost:1527

java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/

This exception has two causes:

  • The driver is not loaded.
  • The JDBC URL is malformed.

In your case, I'd expect to see a database name at the end of the connection string. For example (use create=true if you want the database to be created if it doesn't exist):

jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/dbname;create=true

Databases are created by default in the directory where the Network Server was started up. But you can also specify an absolute path to the database location:

jdbc:derby://localhost:1527//home/pascal/derbyDBs/dbname;create=true

And just in case, check that derbyclient.jar is on the class path and that you are loading the appropriate driver org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver when working in server mode.

Learning Ruby on Rails

I learnt Ruby with the help of Mr. Neighborly's Humble Little Ruby Book. It's an excellent free-to-download introduction to Ruby with lots of examples, which I'd 100% recommend.

What does 'corrupted double-linked list' mean

Heap overflow should be blame (but not always) for corrupted double-linked list, malloc(): memory corruption, double free or corruption (!prev)-like glibc warnings.

It should be reproduced by the following code:

#include <vector>

using std::vector;


int main(int argc, const char *argv[])
{
    int *p = new int[3];
    vector<int> vec;
    vec.resize(100);
    p[6] = 1024;
    delete[] p;
    return 0;
}

First, compile the code with debug flag(-g):

g++ -g foo.cpp

And then, run it using valgrind:

What does "var" mean in C#?

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

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

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

PHP json_encode encoding numbers as strings

The following test confirms that changing the type to string causes json_encode() to return a numeric as a JSON string (i.e., surrounded by double quotes). Use settype(arr["var"], "integer") or settype($arr["var"], "float") to fix it.

<?php

class testclass {
    public $foo = 1;
    public $bar = 2;
    public $baz = "Hello, world";
}

$testarr = array( 'foo' => 1, 'bar' => 2, 'baz' => 'Hello, world');

$json_obj_txt = json_encode(new testclass());
$json_arr_txt = json_encode($testarr);

echo "<p>Object encoding:</p><pre>" . $json_obj_txt . "</pre>";
echo "<p>Array encoding:</p><pre>" . $json_arr_txt . "</pre>";

// Both above return ints as ints. Type the int to a string, though, and...
settype($testarr["foo"], "string");
$json_arr_cast_txt = json_encode($testarr);
echo "<p>Array encoding w/ cast:</p><pre>" . $json_arr_cast_txt . "</pre>";

Get DateTime.Now with milliseconds precision

The trouble with DateTime.UtcNow and DateTime.Now is that, depending on the computer and operating system, it may only be accurate to between 10 and 15 milliseconds. However, on windows computers one can use by using the low level function GetSystemTimePreciseAsFileTime to get microsecond accuracy, see the function GetTimeStamp() below.

    [System.Security.SuppressUnmanagedCodeSecurity, System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("kernel32.dll")]
    static extern void GetSystemTimePreciseAsFileTime(out FileTime pFileTime);

    [System.Runtime.InteropServices.StructLayout(System.Runtime.InteropServices.LayoutKind.Sequential)]
    public struct FileTime  {
        public const long FILETIME_TO_DATETIMETICKS = 504911232000000000;   // 146097 = days in 400 year Gregorian calendar cycle. 504911232000000000 = 4 * 146097 * 86400 * 1E7
        public uint TimeLow;    // least significant digits
        public uint TimeHigh;   // most sifnificant digits
        public long TimeStamp_FileTimeTicks { get { return TimeHigh * 4294967296 + TimeLow; } }     // ticks since 1-Jan-1601 (1 tick = 100 nanosecs). 4294967296 = 2^32
        public DateTime dateTime { get { return new DateTime(TimeStamp_FileTimeTicks + FILETIME_TO_DATETIMETICKS); } }
    }

    public static DateTime GetTimeStamp() { 
        FileTime ft; GetSystemTimePreciseAsFileTime(out ft);
        return ft.dateTime;
    }

Rank function in MySQL

Combination of Daniel's and Salman's answer. However the rank will not give as continues sequence with ties exists . Instead it skips the rank to next. So maximum always reach row count.

    SELECT    first_name,
              age,
              gender,
              IF(age=@_last_age,@curRank:=@curRank,@curRank:=@_sequence) AS rank,
              @_sequence:=@_sequence+1,@_last_age:=age
    FROM      person p, (SELECT @curRank := 1, @_sequence:=1, @_last_age:=0) r
    ORDER BY  age;

Schema and Test Case:

CREATE TABLE person (id int, first_name varchar(20), age int, gender char(1));

INSERT INTO person VALUES (1, 'Bob', 25, 'M');
INSERT INTO person VALUES (2, 'Jane', 20, 'F');
INSERT INTO person VALUES (3, 'Jack', 30, 'M');
INSERT INTO person VALUES (4, 'Bill', 32, 'M');
INSERT INTO person VALUES (5, 'Nick', 22, 'M');
INSERT INTO person VALUES (6, 'Kathy', 18, 'F');
INSERT INTO person VALUES (7, 'Steve', 36, 'M');
INSERT INTO person VALUES (8, 'Anne', 25, 'F');
INSERT INTO person VALUES (9, 'Kamal', 25, 'M');
INSERT INTO person VALUES (10, 'Saman', 32, 'M');

Output:

How to pass a vector to a function?

It depends on if you want to pass the vector as a reference or as a pointer (I am disregarding the option of passing it by value as clearly undesirable).

As a reference:

int binarySearch(int first, int last, int search4, vector<int>& random);

vector<int> random(100);
// ...
found = binarySearch(first, last, search4, random);

As a pointer:

int binarySearch(int first, int last, int search4, vector<int>* random);

vector<int> random(100);
// ...
found = binarySearch(first, last, search4, &random);

Inside binarySearch, you will need to use . or -> to access the members of random correspondingly.

Issues with your current code

  1. binarySearch expects a vector<int>*, but you pass in a vector<int> (missing a & before random)
  2. You do not dereference the pointer inside binarySearch before using it (for example, random[mid] should be (*random)[mid]
  3. You are missing using namespace std; after the <include>s
  4. The values you assign to first and last are wrong (should be 0 and 99 instead of random[0] and random[99]

Android: How to create a Dialog without a title?

While using AlertDialog, not using setTitle() makes the title disappear

HTTP 401 - what's an appropriate WWW-Authenticate header value?

When indicating HTTP Basic Authentication we return something like:

WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="myRealm"

Whereas Basic is the scheme and the remainder is very much dependent on that scheme. In this case realm just provides the browser a literal that can be displayed to the user when prompting for the user id and password.

You're obviously not using Basic however since there is no point having session expiry when Basic Auth is used. I assume you're using some form of Forms based authentication.

From recollection, Windows Challenge Response uses a different scheme and different arguments.

The trick is that it's up to the browser to determine what schemes it supports and how it responds to them.

My gut feel if you are using forms based authentication is to stay with the 200 + relogin page but add a custom header that the browser will ignore but your AJAX can identify.

For a really good User + AJAX experience, get the script to hang on to the AJAX request that found the session expired, fire off a relogin request via a popup, and on success, resubmit the original AJAX request and carry on as normal.

Avoid the cheat that just gets the script to hit the site every 5 mins to keep the session alive cause that just defeats the point of session expiry.

The other alternative is burn the AJAX request but that's a poor user experience.

How can I tell what edition of SQL Server runs on the machine?

I use this query here to get all relevant info (relevant for me, at least :-)) from SQL Server:

SELECT  
    SERVERPROPERTY('productversion') as 'Product Version', 
    SERVERPROPERTY('productlevel') as 'Product Level',  
    SERVERPROPERTY('edition') as 'Product Edition',
    SERVERPROPERTY('buildclrversion') as 'CLR Version',
    SERVERPROPERTY('collation') as 'Default Collation',
    SERVERPROPERTY('instancename') as 'Instance',
    SERVERPROPERTY('lcid') as 'LCID',
    SERVERPROPERTY('servername') as 'Server Name'

That gives you an output something like this:

Product Version   Product Level   Product Edition             CLR Version   
10.0.2531.0       SP1             Developer Edition (64-bit)    v2.0.50727  

Default Collation     Instance   LCID   Server Name 
Latin1_General_CI_AS     NULL    1033   *********       

How to change ProgressBar's progress indicator color in Android

If you want to set primary and secondary progress color to horizontal progress bar programmatically in android then use below snippet

int[][] states = new int[][] {
                        new int[] {-android.R.attr.state_checked},
                        new int[] {android.R.attr.state_checked},
                };

                int[] secondaryColor = new int[] {
                        context.getResources().getColor(R.color.graph_line_one),
                        Color.RED,
                };

                int[] primaryColor = new int[] {
                        context.getResources().getColor(R.color.middle_progress),
                        Color.BLUE,
                };
                progressbar.setProgressTintList(new ColorStateList(states, primaryColor));
                progressbar.setSecondaryProgressTintList(new ColorStateList(states, secondaryColor));

To switch from vertical split to horizontal split fast in Vim

Horizontal to vertical split

Ctrl+W for window command, followed by Shift+H or Shift+L


Vertical to horizontal split

Ctrl+W for window command, followed by Shift+K or Shift+J

Both solutions apply when only two windows exist.


Open help in a vertical split by default

Add both of these lines to .vimrc:

cabbrev help vert help
cabbrev h vert h

:vert[ical] {cmd} always executes the cmd in a vertically split window.

Test if remote TCP port is open from a shell script

In Bash using pseudo-device files for TCP/UDP connections is straight forward. Here is the script:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
SERVER=example.com
PORT=80
</dev/tcp/$SERVER/$PORT
if [ "$?" -ne 0 ]; then
  echo "Connection to $SERVER on port $PORT failed"
  exit 1
else
  echo "Connection to $SERVER on port $PORT succeeded"
  exit 0
fi

Testing:

$ ./test.sh 
Connection to example.com on port 80 succeeded

Here is one-liner (Bash syntax):

</dev/tcp/localhost/11211 && echo Port open. || echo Port closed.

Note that some servers can be firewall protected from SYN flood attacks, so you may experience a TCP connection timeout (~75secs). To workaround the timeout issue, try:

timeout 1 bash -c "</dev/tcp/stackoverflow.com/81" && echo Port open. || echo Port closed.

See: How to decrease TCP connect() system call timeout?

How to turn off Wifi via ADB?

How to type in textbox using Selenium WebDriver (Selenium 2) with Java?

You can use JavaScript as well, in case the textfield is dithered.

WebDriver driver=new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("http://localhost/login.do");
driver.manage().window().maximize();
RemoteWebDriver r=(RemoteWebDriver) driver;
String s1="document.getElementById('username').value='admin'";
r.executeScript(s1);

Spring data JPA query with parameter properties

if we are using JpaRepository then it will internally created the queries.

Sample

findByLastnameAndFirstname(String lastname,String firstname)

findByLastnameOrFirstname(String lastname,String firstname)

findByStartDateBetween(Date date1,Date2)

findById(int id)

Note

if suppose we need complex queries then we need to write manual queries like

@Query("SELECT salesOrder FROM SalesOrder salesOrder WHERE salesOrder.clientId=:clientId AND salesOrder.driver_username=:driver_username AND salesOrder.date>=:fdate AND salesOrder.date<=:tdate ")
 @Transactional(readOnly=true)
 List<SalesOrder> findAllSalesByDriver(@Param("clientId")Integer clientId, @Param("driver_username")String driver_username, @Param("fdate") Date fDate, @Param("tdate") Date tdate);

Getting value of select (dropdown) before change

keep the currently selected drop down value with chosen jquery in a global variable before writing the drop down 'on change' action function. If you want to set previous value in the function you can use the global variable.

//global variable
var previousValue=$("#dropDownList").val();
$("#dropDownList").change(function () {
BootstrapDialog.confirm(' Are you sure you want to continue?',
  function (result) {
  if (result) {
     return true;
  } else {
      $("#dropDownList").val(previousValue).trigger('chosen:updated');  
     return false;
         }
  });
});

Java - get the current class name?

The combination of both answers. Also prints a method name:

Class thisClass = new Object(){}.getClass();
String className = thisClass.getEnclosingClass().getSimpleName();
String methodName = thisClass.getEnclosingMethod().getName();
Log.d("app", className + ":" + methodName);

jQuery add blank option to top of list and make selected to existing dropdown

This worked:

$("#theSelectId").prepend("<option value='' selected='selected'></option>");

Firebug Output:

<select id="theSelectId">
  <option selected="selected" value=""/>
  <option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
  <option value="saab">Saab</option>
  <option value="mercedes">Mercedes</option>
  <option value="audi">Audi</option>
</select>

You could also use .prependTo if you wanted to reverse the order:

?$("<option>", { value: '', selected: true }).prependTo("#theSelectId");???????????

How to test Spring Data repositories?

In the last version of spring boot 2.1.1.RELEASE, it is simple as :

@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@SpringBootTest(classes = SampleApplication.class)
public class CustomerRepositoryIntegrationTest {

    @Autowired
    CustomerRepository repository;

    @Test
    public void myTest() throws Exception {

        Customer customer = new Customer();
        customer.setId(100l);
        customer.setFirstName("John");
        customer.setLastName("Wick");

        repository.save(customer);

        List<?> queryResult = repository.findByLastName("Wick");

        assertFalse(queryResult.isEmpty());
        assertNotNull(queryResult.get(0));
    }
}

How to change text and background color?

There is no (standard) cross-platform way to do this. On windows, try using conio.h. It has the:

textcolor(); // and
textbackground();

functions.

For example:

textcolor(RED);
cprintf("H");
textcolor(BLUE);
cprintf("e");
// and so on.

Spring MVC + JSON = 406 Not Acceptable

Accept:text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,/;q=0.8

That should be the problem. JSON is served as application/json. If you set the Accept header accordingly, you should get the proper response. (There are browser plugins that let you set headers, I like "Poster" for Firefox best)

installing urllib in Python3.6

urllib is a standard python library (built-in) so you don't have to install it. just import it if you need to use request by:

import urllib.request

if it's not work maybe you compiled python in wrong way, so be kind and give us more details.

How to test abstract class in Java with JUnit?

You could do something like this

public abstract MyAbstractClass {

    @Autowire
    private MyMock myMock;        

    protected String sayHello() {
            return myMock.getHello() + ", " + getName();
    }

    public abstract String getName();
}

// this is your JUnit test
public class MyAbstractClassTest extends MyAbstractClass {

    @Mock
    private MyMock myMock;

    @InjectMocks
    private MyAbstractClass thiz = this;

    private String myName = null;

    @Override
    public String getName() {
        return myName;
    }

    @Test
    public void testSayHello() {
        myName = "Johnny"
        when(myMock.getHello()).thenReturn("Hello");
        String result = sayHello();
        assertEquals("Hello, Johnny", result);
    }
}

JList add/remove Item

The best and easiest way to clear a JLIST is:

How to fix "The ConnectionString property has not been initialized"

Use [] instead of () as below example.

SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter(sql, ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["FADB_ConnectionString"].ConnectionString);
            DataTable data = new DataTable();
            DataSet ds = new DataSet();

Find unused npm packages in package.json

many of the answer here are how to find unused items.

I wanted to remove them automatically.

  1. Install this node project.

    $ npm install -g typescript tslint tslint-etc


  1. At the root dir, add a new file tslint-imports.json

    { "extends": [ "tslint-etc" ], "rules": { "no-unused-declaration": true } }


  1. Run this at your own risk, make a backup :)

    $ tslint --config tslint-imports.json --fix --project .

How do you sign a Certificate Signing Request with your Certification Authority?

1. Using the x509 module
openssl x509 ...
...

2 Using the ca module
openssl ca ...
...

You are missing the prelude to those commands.

This is a two-step process. First you set up your CA, and then you sign an end entity certificate (a.k.a server or user). Both of the two commands elide the two steps into one. And both assume you have a an OpenSSL configuration file already setup for both CAs and Server (end entity) certificates.


First, create a basic configuration file:

$ touch openssl-ca.cnf

Then, add the following to it:

HOME            = .
RANDFILE        = $ENV::HOME/.rnd

####################################################################
[ ca ]
default_ca    = CA_default      # The default ca section

[ CA_default ]

default_days     = 1000         # How long to certify for
default_crl_days = 30           # How long before next CRL
default_md       = sha256       # Use public key default MD
preserve         = no           # Keep passed DN ordering

x509_extensions = ca_extensions # The extensions to add to the cert

email_in_dn     = no            # Don't concat the email in the DN
copy_extensions = copy          # Required to copy SANs from CSR to cert

####################################################################
[ req ]
default_bits       = 4096
default_keyfile    = cakey.pem
distinguished_name = ca_distinguished_name
x509_extensions    = ca_extensions
string_mask        = utf8only

####################################################################
[ ca_distinguished_name ]
countryName         = Country Name (2 letter code)
countryName_default = US

stateOrProvinceName         = State or Province Name (full name)
stateOrProvinceName_default = Maryland

localityName                = Locality Name (eg, city)
localityName_default        = Baltimore

organizationName            = Organization Name (eg, company)
organizationName_default    = Test CA, Limited

organizationalUnitName         = Organizational Unit (eg, division)
organizationalUnitName_default = Server Research Department

commonName         = Common Name (e.g. server FQDN or YOUR name)
commonName_default = Test CA

emailAddress         = Email Address
emailAddress_default = [email protected]

####################################################################
[ ca_extensions ]

subjectKeyIdentifier   = hash
authorityKeyIdentifier = keyid:always, issuer
basicConstraints       = critical, CA:true
keyUsage               = keyCertSign, cRLSign

The fields above are taken from a more complex openssl.cnf (you can find it in /usr/lib/openssl.cnf), but I think they are the essentials for creating the CA certificate and private key.

Tweak the fields above to suit your taste. The defaults save you the time from entering the same information while experimenting with configuration file and command options.

I omitted the CRL-relevant stuff, but your CA operations should have them. See openssl.cnf and the related crl_ext section.

Then, execute the following. The -nodes omits the password or passphrase so you can examine the certificate. It's a really bad idea to omit the password or passphrase.

$ openssl req -x509 -config openssl-ca.cnf -newkey rsa:4096 -sha256 -nodes -out cacert.pem -outform PEM

After the command executes, cacert.pem will be your certificate for CA operations, and cakey.pem will be the private key. Recall the private key does not have a password or passphrase.

You can dump the certificate with the following.

$ openssl x509 -in cacert.pem -text -noout

For part two, I'm going to create another configuration file that's easily digestible. First, touch the openssl-server.cnf (you can make one of these for user certificates also).

$ touch openssl-server.cnf

Then open it, and add the following.

HOME            = .
RANDFILE        = $ENV::HOME/.rnd

####################################################################
[ req ]
default_bits       = 2048
default_keyfile    = serverkey.pem
distinguished_name = server_distinguished_name
req_extensions     = server_req_extensions
string_mask        = utf8only

####################################################################
[ server_distinguished_name ]
countryName         = Country Name (2 letter code)
countryName_default = US

stateOrProvinceName         = State or Province Name (full name)
stateOrProvinceName_default = MD

localityName         = Locality Name (eg, city)
localityName_default = Baltimore

organizationName            = Organization Name (eg, company)
organizationName_default    = Test Server, Limited

commonName           = Common Name (e.g. server FQDN or YOUR name)
commonName_default   = Test Server

emailAddress         = Email Address
emailAddress_default = [email protected]

####################################################################
[ server_req_extensions ]

subjectKeyIdentifier = hash
basicConstraints     = CA:FALSE
keyUsage             = digitalSignature, keyEncipherment
subjectAltName       = @alternate_names
nsComment            = "OpenSSL Generated Certificate"

DNS.4  = ftp.example.com

If you are developing and need to use your workstation as a server, then you may need to do the following for Chrome. Otherwise Chrome may complain a Common Name is invalid (ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID). I'm not sure what the relationship is between an IP address in the SAN and a CN in this instance.

# IPv4 localhost
IP.1     = 127.0.0.1

# IPv6 localhost
IP.2     = ::1

Then, create the server certificate request. Be sure to omit -x509*. Adding -x509 will create a certificate, and not a request.

$ openssl req -config openssl-server.cnf -newkey rsa:2048 -sha256 -nodes -out servercert.csr -outform PEM

After this command executes, you will have a request in servercert.csr and a private key in serverkey.pem.

And you can inspect it again.

$ openssl req -text -noout -verify -in servercert.csr

    verify OK

Next, you have to sign it with your CA.


You are almost ready to sign the server's certificate by your CA. The CA's openssl-ca.cnf needs two more sections before issuing the command.

First, open openssl-ca.cnf and add the following two sections.

####################################################################
[ signing_policy ]
countryName            = optional
stateOrProvinceName    = optional
localityName           = optional
organizationName       = optional
organizationalUnitName = optional
commonName             = supplied
emailAddress           = optional

####################################################################
[ signing_req ]
subjectKeyIdentifier   = hash
authorityKeyIdentifier = keyid,issuer
basicConstraints       = CA:FALSE
keyUsage               = digitalSignature, keyEncipherment

Second, add the following to the [ CA_default ] section of openssl-ca.cnf. I left them out earlier, because they can complicate things (they were unused at the time). Now you'll see how they are used, so hopefully they will make sense.

base_dir      = .
certificate   = $base_dir/cacert.pem   # The CA certifcate
private_key   = $base_dir/cakey.pem    # The CA private key
new_certs_dir = $base_dir              # Location for new certs after signing
database      = $base_dir/index.txt    # Database index file
serial        = $base_dir/serial.txt   # The current serial number

unique_subject = no  # Set to 'no' to allow creation of
                     # several certificates with same subject.

Third, touch index.txt and serial.txt:

$ touch index.txt
$ echo '01' > serial.txt

Then, perform the following:

$ openssl ca -config openssl-ca.cnf -policy signing_policy -extensions signing_req -out servercert.pem -infiles servercert.csr

You should see similar to the following:

Using configuration from openssl-ca.cnf
Check that the request matches the signature
Signature ok
The Subject's Distinguished Name is as follows
countryName           :PRINTABLE:'US'
stateOrProvinceName   :ASN.1 12:'MD'
localityName          :ASN.1 12:'Baltimore'
commonName            :ASN.1 12:'Test CA'
emailAddress          :IA5STRING:'[email protected]'

Sign the certificate? [y/n]:Y

After the command executes, you will have a freshly minted server certificate in servercert.pem. The private key was created earlier and is available in serverkey.pem.

Finally, you can inspect your freshly minted certificate with the following:

$ openssl x509 -in servercert.pem -text -noout

Earlier, you added the following to CA_default: copy_extensions = copy. This copies extension provided by the person making the request.

If you omit copy_extensions = copy, then your server certificate will lack the Subject Alternate Names (SANs) like www.example.com and mail.example.com.

If you use copy_extensions = copy, but don't look over the request, then the requester might be able to trick you into signing something like a subordinate root (rather than a server or user certificate). Which means he/she will be able to mint certificates that chain back to your trusted root. Be sure to verify the request with openssl req -verify before signing.


If you omit unique_subject or set it to yes, then you will only be allowed to create one certificate under the subject's distinguished name.

unique_subject = yes            # Set to 'no' to allow creation of
                                # several ctificates with same subject.

Trying to create a second certificate while experimenting will result in the following when signing your server's certificate with the CA's private key:

Sign the certificate? [y/n]:Y
failed to update database
TXT_DB error number 2

So unique_subject = no is perfect for testing.


If you want to ensure the Organizational Name is consistent between self-signed CAs, Subordinate CA and End-Entity certificates, then add the following to your CA configuration files:

[ policy_match ]
organizationName = match

If you want to allow the Organizational Name to change, then use:

[ policy_match ]
organizationName = supplied

There are other rules concerning the handling of DNS names in X.509/PKIX certificates. Refer to these documents for the rules:

RFC 6797 and RFC 7469 are listed, because they are more restrictive than the other RFCs and CA/B documents. RFC's 6797 and 7469 do not allow an IP address, either.

Copy filtered data to another sheet using VBA

I suggest you do it a different way.

In the following code I set as a Range the column with the sports name F and loop through each cell of it, check if it is "hockey" and if yes I insert the values in the other sheet one by one, by using Offset.

I do not think it is very complicated and even if you are just learning VBA, you should probably be able to understand every step. Please let me know if you need some clarification

Sub TestThat()

'Declare the variables
Dim DataSh As Worksheet
Dim HokySh As Worksheet
Dim SportsRange As Range
Dim rCell As Range
Dim i As Long

'Set the variables
Set DataSh = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Data")
Set HokySh = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Hoky")

Set SportsRange = DataSh.Range(DataSh.Cells(3, 6), DataSh.Cells(Rows.Count, 6).End(xlUp))
    'I went from the cell row3/column6 (or F3) and go down until the last non empty cell

    i = 2

    For Each rCell In SportsRange 'loop through each cell in the range

        If rCell = "hockey" Then 'check if the cell is equal to "hockey"

            i = i + 1                                'Row number (+1 everytime I found another "hockey")
            HokySh.Cells(i, 2) = i - 2               'S No.
            HokySh.Cells(i, 3) = rCell.Offset(0, -1) 'School
            HokySh.Cells(i, 4) = rCell.Offset(0, -2) 'Background
            HokySh.Cells(i, 5) = rCell.Offset(0, -3) 'Age

        End If

    Next rCell

End Sub

How to delete a specific file from folder using asp.net

In my project i am using ajax and i create a web method in my code behind like this

in front

 $("#attachedfiles a").live("click", function () {
            var row = $(this).closest("tr");
            var fileName = $("td", row).eq(0).html();
            $.ajax({
                type: "POST",
                url: "SendEmail.aspx/RemoveFile",
                data: '{fileName: "' + fileName + '" }',
                contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
                dataType: "json",
                success: function () { },
                failure: function (response) {
                    alert(response.d);
                }
            });
            row.remove();
        });  

in code behind

        [WebMethod]
        public static void RemoveFile(string fileName)
        {
            List<HttpPostedFile> files = (List<HttpPostedFile>)HttpContext.Current.Session["Files"];
            files.RemoveAll(f => f.FileName.ToLower().EndsWith(fileName.ToLower()));

            if (System.IO.File.Exists(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/Employee/uploads/" + fileName)))
            {
                System.IO.File.Delete(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/Employee/uploads/" + fileName));
            }
        }

i think this will help you.

Adding image inside table cell in HTML

You have a TH floating at the top of your table which isn't within a TR. Fix that.

With regards to your image problem you;re referencing the image absolutely from your computer's hard drive. Don't do that.

You also have a closing tag which shouldn't be there.

It should be:

<img src="h.gif" alt="" border="3" height="100" width="100" />

Also this:

<table border = 5 bordercolor = red align = center>

Your colspans are also messed up. You only seem to have three columns but have colspans of 14 and 4 in your code.

Should be:

<table border="5" bordercolor="red" align="center">

Also you have no DOCTYPE declared. You should at least add:

<!DOCTYPE html> 

Send email with PHP from html form on submit with the same script

PHP script to connect to a SMTP server and send email on Windows 7

Sending an email from PHP in Windows is a bit of a minefield with gotchas and head scratching. I'll try to walk you through one instance where I got it to work on Windows 7 and PHP 5.2.3 under (IIS) Internet Information Services webserver.

I'm assuming you don't want to use any pre-built framework like CodeIgniter or Symfony which contains email sending capability. We'll be sending an email from a standalone PHP file. I acquired this code from under the codeigniter hood (under system/libraries) and modified it so you can just drop in this Email.php file and it should just work.

This should work with newer versions of PHP. But you never know.

Step 1, You need a username/password with an SMTP server:

I'm using the smtp server from smtp.ihostexchange.net which is already created and setup for me. If you don't have this you can't proceed. You should be able to use an email client like thunderbird, evolution, Microsoft Outlook, to specify your smtp server and then be able to send emails through there.

Step 2, Create your Hello World Email file:

I'm assuming you are using IIS. So create a file called index.php under C:\inetpub\wwwroot and put this code in there:

<?php

  include("Email.php");

  $c = new CI_Email();

  $c->from("[email protected]");
  $c->to("[email protected]");
  $c->subject("Celestial Temple");
  $c->message("Dominion reinforcements on the way.");
  $c->send();
  echo "done";
?>

You should be able to visit this index.php by navigating to localhost/index.php in a browser, it will spew errors because Email.php is missing. But make sure you can at least run it from the browser.

Step 3, Create a file called Email.php:

Create a new file called Email.php under C:\inetpub\wwwroot.

Copy/paste this PHP code into Email.php:

https://github.com/sentientmachine/standalone_php_script_send_email/blob/master/Email.php

Since there are many kinds of smtp servers, you will have to manually fiddle with the settings at the top of Email.php. I've set it up so it automatically works with smtp.ihostexchange.net, but your smtp server might be different.

For example:

  1. Set the smtp_port setting to the port of your smtp server.
  2. Set the smtp_crypto setting to what your smtp server needs.
  3. Set the $newline and $crlf so it's compatible with what your smtp server uses. If you pick wrong, the smtp server may ignore your request without error. I use \r\n, for you maybe \n is required.

The linked code is too long to paste as a stackoverflow answer, If you want to edit it, leave a comment in here or through github and I'll change it.

Step 4, make sure your php.ini has ssl extension enabled:

Find your PHP.ini file and uncomment the

;extension=php_openssl.dll

So it looks like:

extension=php_openssl.dll

Step 5, Run the index.php file you just made in a browser:

You should get the following output:

220 smtp.ihostexchange.net Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service ready at 
Wed, 16 Apr 2014 15:43:58 -0400 250 2.6.0 
<[email protected]> Queued mail for delivery 
lang:email_sent

done

Step 6, check your email, and spam folder:

Visit the email account for [email protected] and you should have received an email. It should arrive within 5 or 10 seconds. If you does not, inspect the errors returned on the page. If that doesn't work, try mashing your face on the keyboard on google while chanting: "working at the grocery store isn't so bad."

What is recursion and when should I use it?

Recursion as it applies to programming is basically calling a function from inside its own definition (inside itself), with different parameters so as to accomplish a task.

HTML5 Audio stop function

Here is my way of doing stop() method:

Somewhere in code:

audioCh1: document.createElement("audio");

and then in stop():

this.audioCh1.pause()
this.audioCh1.src = 'data:audio/wav;base64,UklGRiQAAABXQVZFZm10IBAAAAABAAEAVFYAAFRWAAABAAgAZGF0YQAAAAA=';

In this way we don`t produce additional request, the old one is cancelled and our audio element is in clean state (tested in Chrome and FF) :>

What does "subject" mean in certificate?

My typical expectation is than when "subject" is used a context like this, it means the target of the certificate. If you think of a certificate as a cryptographically secured description of a thing (person, device, communication channel, etc), then the subject is the stuff related to that thing.

It's not the thing itself. For example, no one would say "the subject takes his SmartCard and authenticates his PIN". That would be the "user".

But it usually relates to the various data items related to that that thing. For example:

  • Subject DN = Subject Distinguished Name = the unique identifier for what this thing is. Includes information about the thing being certified, including common name, organization, organization unit, country codes, etc.
  • Subject Key = part (or all) of the certificate's private/public key pair. If it's coming from the certificate, it's the public key. If it's coming from a key store in a secure location, it's probably the private key. Either part of the key is the cryptographic data used by the thing that received the certificate.
  • Subject certificate - the end point for the transaction - this is the thing requesting some secure capability - like integrity checking, authentication, privacy, etc.

Usually, it's used to distinguish between the other players in the PKI world. Namely the "issuer" and the "root". The issuer is the CA that issued the cert (to the subject), and the root is the CA that is end point of all the trust in the heirarchy. The typical relationship is root--->issuer--->subject.

What is the difference between int, Int16, Int32 and Int64?

Nothing. The sole difference between the types is their size (and, hence, the range of values they can represent).

jQuery.parseJSON throws “Invalid JSON” error due to escaped single quote in JSON

Striking a similar issue using CakePHP to output a JavaScript script-block using PHP's native json_encode. $contractorCompanies contains values that have single quotation marks and as explained above and expected json_encode($contractorCompanies) doesn't escape them because its valid JSON.

<?php $this->Html->scriptBlock("var contractorCompanies = jQuery.parseJSON( '".(json_encode($contractorCompanies)."' );"); ?>

By adding addslashes() around the JSON encoded string you then escape the quotation marks allowing Cake / PHP to echo the correct javascript to the browser. JS errors disappear.

<?php $this->Html->scriptBlock("var contractorCompanies = jQuery.parseJSON( '".addslashes(json_encode($contractorCompanies))."' );"); ?>

Integer expression expected error in shell script

This error can also happen if the variable you are comparing has hidden characters that are not numbers/digits.

For example, if you are retrieving an integer from a third-party script, you must ensure that the returned string does not contain hidden characters, like "\n" or "\r".

For example:

#!/bin/bash

# Simulate an invalid number string returned
# from a script, which is "1234\n"
a='1234
'

if [ "$a" -gt 1233 ] ; then
    echo "number is bigger"
else
    echo "number is smaller"
fi

This will result in a script error : integer expression expected because $a contains a non-digit newline character "\n". You have to remove this character using the instructions here: How to remove carriage return from a string in Bash

So use something like this:

#!/bin/bash

# Simulate an invalid number string returned
# from a script, which is "1234\n"
a='1234
'

# Remove all new line, carriage return, tab characters
# from the string, to allow integer comparison
a="${a//[$'\t\r\n ']}"

if [ "$a" -gt 1233 ] ; then
    echo "number is bigger"
else
    echo "number is smaller"
fi

You can also use set -xv to debug your bash script and reveal these hidden characters. See https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/bash-script-error-integer-expression-expected-934465/

Error: org.springframework.web.HttpMediaTypeNotSupportedException: Content type 'text/plain;charset=UTF-8' not supported

Building on what is mentioned in the comments, the simplest solution would be:

@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.PUT, consumes = MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON_VALUE)
@ResponseBody
public Collection<BudgetDTO> updateConsumerBudget(@RequestBody SomeDto someDto) throws GeneralException, ParseException {

    //whatever

}

class SomeDto {

   private List<WhateverBudgerPerDateDTO> budgetPerDate;


  //getters setters
}

The solution assumes that the HTTP request you are creating actually has

Content-Type:application/json instead of text/plain

How do I read input character-by-character in Java?

Use Reader.read(). A return value of -1 means end of stream; else, cast to char.

This code reads character data from a list of file arguments:

public class CharacterHandler {
    //Java 7 source level
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        // replace this with a known encoding if possible
        Charset encoding = Charset.defaultCharset();
        for (String filename : args) {
            File file = new File(filename);
            handleFile(file, encoding);
        }
    }

The bad thing about the above code is that it uses the system's default character set. Wherever possible, prefer a known encoding (ideally, a Unicode encoding if you have a choice). See the Charset class for more. (If you feel masochistic, you can read this guide to character encoding.)

(One thing you might want to look out for are supplementary Unicode characters - those that require two char values to store. See the Character class for more details; this is an edge case that probably won't apply to homework.)

Difference between "process.stdout.write" and "console.log" in node.js?


Console.log implement process.sdout.write, process.sdout.write is a buffer/stream that will directly output in your console.

According to my puglin serverline : console = new Console(consoleOptions) you can rewrite Console class with your own readline system.

You can see code source of console.log:

Changing the maximum length of a varchar column?

You need

ALTER TABLE YourTable ALTER COLUMN YourColumn <<new_datatype>> [NULL | NOT NULL]

But remember to specify NOT NULL explicitly if desired.

ALTER TABLE YourTable ALTER COLUMN YourColumn VARCHAR (500) NOT NULL;

If you leave it unspecified as below...

ALTER TABLE YourTable ALTER COLUMN YourColumn VARCHAR (500);

Then the column will default to allowing nulls even if it was originally defined as NOT NULL. i.e. omitting the specification in an ALTER TABLE ... ALTER COLUMN is always treated as.

ALTER TABLE YourTable ALTER COLUMN YourColumn VARCHAR (500) NULL;

This behaviour is different from that used for new columns created with ALTER TABLE (or at CREATE TABLE time). There the default nullability depends on the ANSI_NULL_DFLT settings.

Is SMTP based on TCP or UDP?

Seems the SMTP as internet standard uses only reliable Transport protocol. RFC821 has TCP, NCP, NITS as examples!

location.host vs location.hostname and cross-browser compatibility?

If you are insisting to use the window.location.origin You can put this in top of your code before reading the origin

}

Concatenate two NumPy arrays vertically

If the actual problem at hand is to concatenate two 1-D arrays vertically, and we are not fixated on using concatenate to perform this operation, I would suggest the use of np.column_stack:

In []: a = np.array([1,2,3])
In []: b = np.array([4,5,6])
In []: np.column_stack((a, b))
array([[1, 4],
       [2, 5],
       [3, 6]])

Numpy `ValueError: operands could not be broadcast together with shape ...`

If X and beta do not have the same shape as the second term in the rhs of your last line (i.e. nsample), then you will get this type of error. To add an array to a tuple of arrays, they all must be the same shape.

I would recommend looking at the numpy broadcasting rules.

How to create an HTML button that acts like a link?

If it's the visual appearance of a button you're looking for in a basic HTML anchor tag then you can use the Twitter Bootstrap framework to format any of the following common HTML type links/buttons to appear as a button. Please note the visual differences between version 2, 3 or 4 of the framework:

<a class="btn" href="">Link</a>
<button class="btn" type="submit">Button</button>
<input class="btn" type="button" value="Input">
<input class="btn" type="submit" value="Submit">

What is the curl error 52 "empty reply from server"?

Another common reason for an empty reply is timeout. Check all the hops from where the cron job is running from to your PHP/target server. There's probably a device/server/nginx/LB/proxy somewhere along the line that terminates the request earlier than you expected, resulting in an empty response.

Determine what user created objects in SQL Server

The answer is "no, you probably can't".

While there is stuff in there that might say who created a given object, there are a lot of "ifs" behind them. A quick (and not necessarily complete) review:

sys.objects (and thus sys.tables, sys.procedures, sys.views, etc.) has column principal_id. This value is a foreign key that relates to the list of database users, which in turn can be joined with the list of SQL (instance) logins. (All of this info can be found in further system views.)

But.

A quick check on our setup here and a cursory review of BOL indicates that this value is only set (i.e. not null) if it is "different from the schema owner". In our development system, and we've got dbo + two other schemas, everything comes up as NULL. This is probably because everyone has dbo rights within these databases.

This is using NT authentication. SQL authentication probably works much the same. Also, does everyone have and use a unique login, or are they shared? If you have employee turnover and domain (or SQL) logins get dropped, once again the data may not be there or may be incomplete.

You can look this data over (select * from sys.objects), but if principal_id is null, you are probably out of luck.

Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined

jQuery needs to be the first script you import. The first script on your page

<script type="text/javascript" src="/test/wp-content/themes/child/script/jquery.jcarousel.min.js"></script>

appears to be a jQuery plugin, which is likely generating an error since jQuery hasn't been loaded on the page yet.

Generating Request/Response XML from a WSDL

Doing this yourself will give you insight into how a WSDL is structured and how it gets your job done. It is a good learning opportunity. This can be done using soapUI, if you only have the URL of the WSDL. (I'm using soapUI 5.2.1) If you actually have the complete WSDL as a file available to you, you don't even need soapUI. The title of the question says "Request & Response XML" while the question body says "Request & Response XML formats" which I interpret as the schema of the request and response. At any rate, the following will give you the schema which you can use on XSD2XML to generate sample XML.

  1. Start a "New Soap Project", enter a project name and WSDL location; choose to "Create Requests", unselect the other options and click OK.
  2. Under the "Project" tree on the left side, right-click an interface and choose "Show Interface Viewer".
  3. Select the "WSDL Content" tab.
  4. You should see the WSDL text on the right hand side; look for the block starting with "wsdl:types" below which are the schema for the input and output messages.
  5. Each schema definition starts with something like <s:element name="GetWeather"> and ends with </s:element>.
  6. Copy out the block into a text editor; above this block add: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <s:schema xmlns:s="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified">
  7. Below the block of copied XML, add </s:schema>
  8. Decide if you need "UTF-16" instead of "UTF-8"
  9. The "s:" and the "xmlns:s" should match the block you copied (step 5)
  10. Save this file with ".xsd" extension; if you have "XML Copy Editor" or some such tool (XML Spy, may be) you should check that this is well-formed XML and valid schema.
  11. Repeat for all "element" items in the right hand pane of soapUI until you reach
  12. This way you'll get some type definitions you might not be interested in. If you want to pick and choose, use the following method: Look through the "wsdl:operation" items under "wsdl:portType" in the WSDL text below the type definitions. They will have "wsdl:input" and "wsdl:output". Take the message names from "wsdl:input" and "wsdl:output". Match them against "wsdl:message" names which will likely be above the "wsdl:portType" entries in the WSDL. Get the "wsdl:part" element name from "wsdl:message" item and look for that name as element name under "wsdl:types". Those will be the schema of interest to you.

You can try above procedure out using the WSDL at http://www.webservicex.com/globalweather.asmx?wsdl

MetadataException when using Entity Framework Entity Connection

I moved my Database First DataModel to a different project midway through development. Poor planning (or lack there of) on my part.

Initially I had a solution with one project. Then I added another project to the solution and recreated my Database First DataModel from the Sql Server Dataase.

To fix the problem - MetadataException when using Entity Framework Entity Connection. I copied my the ConnectionString from the new Project Web.Config to the original project Web.Config. However, this occurred after I updated my all the references in the original project to new DataModel project.

How to explicitly obtain post data in Spring MVC?

Spring MVC runs on top of the Servlet API. So, you can use HttpServletRequest#getParameter() for this:

String value1 = request.getParameter("value1");
String value2 = request.getParameter("value2");

The HttpServletRequest should already be available to you inside Spring MVC as one of the method arguments of the handleRequest() method.

Accessing localhost of PC from USB connected Android mobile device

Here is a piece of my Android app's code:

I also can run the app over Wi-Fi when the server, Tomcat Apache 7, running on (when the app development was finished).

Generate UML Class Diagram from Java Project

How about the Omondo Plugin for Eclipse. I have used it and I find it to be quite useful. Although if you are generating diagrams for large sources, you might have to start Eclipse with more memory.

How to remove focus around buttons on click

I've noticed the same and even though it really annoys me, I believe there is no proper way of handling this.

I would recommend against all the other solutions given because they kill the accessibility of the button completely, so now, when you tab to the button, you won't get the expected focus.

This should be avoided!

.btn:focus {

how do I get a new line, after using float:left?

You need to "clear" the float after every 6 images. So with your current code, change the styles for containerdivNewLine to:

How to change the data type of a column without dropping the column with query?

If ALTER COLUMN doesn't work.

It is not unusual for alter column to fail because it cannot make the transformation you desire. In this case, the solution is to create a dummy table TableName_tmp, copy the data over with your specialized transformation in the bulk Insert command, drop the original table, and rename the tmp table to the original table's name. You'll have to drop and recreate the Foreign key constraints and, for performance, you'll probably want to create keys after filling the tmp table.

Sound like a lot of work? Actually, it isn't.

If you are using SQL Server, you can make the SQL Server Management Studio do the work for you!

  • Bring up your table structure (right-click on the table column and select "Modify")
  • Make all of your changes (if the column transformation is illegal, just add your new column - you'll patch it up in a moment).
  • Right-click on the background of the Modify window and select "Generate Change Script." In the window that appears, you can copy the change script to the clipboard.
  • Cancel the Modify (you'll want to test your script, after all) and then paste the script into a new query window.
  • Modify as necessary (e.g. add your transformation while removing the field from the tmp table declaration) and you now have the script necessary to make your transformation.

Convert a double to a QString

Building on @Kristian's answer, I had a desire to display a fixed number of decimal places. That can be accomplished with other arguments in the QString::number(...) function. For instance, I wanted 3 decimal places:

double value = 34.0495834;
QString strValue = QString::number(value, 'f', 3);
// strValue == "34.050"

The 'f' specifies decimal format notation (more info here, you can also specify scientific notation) and the 3 specifies the precision (number of decimal places). Probably already linked in other answers, but more info about the QString::number function can be found here in the QString documentation

How to fix C++ error: expected unqualified-id

For what it's worth, I had the same problem but it wasn't because of an extra semicolon, it was because I'd forgotten a semicolon on the previous statement.

My situation was something like

mynamespace::MyObject otherObject

for (const auto& element: otherObject.myVector) {
  // execute arbitrary code on element
  //...
  //...
} 

From this code, my compiler kept telling me:

error: expected unqualified-id before for (const auto& element: otherObject.myVector) { etc... which I'd taken to mean I'd writtten the for loop wrong. Nope! I'd simply forgotten a ; after declaring otherObject.

What is the javascript filename naming convention?

I generally prefer hyphens with lower case, but one thing not yet mentioned is that sometimes it's nice to have the file name exactly match the name of a single module or instantiable function contained within.

For example, I have a revealing module declared with var knockoutUtilityModule = function() {...} within its own file named knockoutUtilityModule.js, although objectively I prefer knockout-utility-module.js.

Similarly, since I'm using a bundling mechanism to combine scripts, I've taken to defining instantiable functions (templated view models etc) each in their own file, C# style, for maintainability. For example, ProductDescriptorViewModel lives on its own inside ProductDescriptorViewModel.js (I use upper case for instantiable functions).

C# equivalent of the IsNull() function in SQL Server

        else

Using custom std::set comparator

std::less<> when using custom classes with operator<

If you are dealing with a set of your custom class that has operator< defined, then you can just use std::less<>.

As mentioned at http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/container/set/find C++14 has added two new find APIs:

template< class K > iterator find( const K& x );
template< class K > const_iterator find( const K& x ) const;

which allow you to do:

main.cpp

#include <cassert>
#include <set>

class Point {
    public:
        // Note that there is _no_ conversion constructor,
        // everything is done at the template level without
        // intermediate object creation.
        //Point(int x) : x(x) {}
        Point(int x, int y) : x(x), y(y) {}
        int x;
        int y;
};
bool operator<(const Point& c, int x) { return c.x < x; }
bool operator<(int x, const Point& c) { return x < c.x; }
bool operator<(const Point& c, const Point& d) {
    return c.x < d;
}

int main() {
    std::set<Point, std::less<>> s;
    s.insert(Point(1, -1));
    s.insert(Point(2, -2));
    s.insert(Point(0,  0));
    s.insert(Point(3, -3));
    assert(s.find(0)->y ==  0);
    assert(s.find(1)->y == -1);
    assert(s.find(2)->y == -2);
    assert(s.find(3)->y == -3);
    // Ignore 1234, find 1.
    assert(s.find(Point(1, 1234))->y == -1);
}

Compile and run:

g++ -std=c++14 -Wall -Wextra -pedantic -o main.out main.cpp
./main.out

More info about std::less<> can be found at: What are transparent comparators?

Tested on Ubuntu 16.10, g++ 6.2.0.

UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte X in position Y: character maps to <undefined>

As an extension to @LennartRegebro's answer:

If you can't tell what encoding your file uses and the solution above does not work (it's not utf8) and you found yourself merely guessing - there are online tools that you could use to identify what encoding that is. They aren't perfect but usually work just fine. After you figure out the encoding you should be able to use solution above.

EDIT: (Copied from comment)

A quite popular text editor Sublime Text has a command to display encoding if it has been set...

  1. Go to View -> Show Console (or Ctrl+`)

enter image description here

  1. Type into field at the bottom view.encoding() and hope for the best (I was unable to get anything but Undefined but maybe you will have better luck...)

How to declare std::unique_ptr and what is the use of it?

Unique pointers are guaranteed to destroy the object they manage when they go out of scope. http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/memory/unique_ptr

In this case:

unique_ptr<double> uptr2 (pd);

pd will be destroyed when uptr2 goes out of scope. This facilitates memory management by automatic deletion.

The case of unique_ptr<int> uptr (new int(3)); is not different, except that the raw pointer is not assigned to any variable here.

How do shift operators work in Java?

2 from decimal numbering system in binary is as follows

10

now if you do

2 << 11

it would be , 11 zeros would be padded on the right side

1000000000000

The signed left shift operator "<<" shifts a bit pattern to the left, and the signed right shift operator ">>" shifts a bit pattern to the right. The bit pattern is given by the left-hand operand, and the number of positions to shift by the right-hand operand. The unsigned right shift operator ">>>" shifts a zero into the leftmost position, while the leftmost position after ">>" depends on sign extension [..]

left shifting results in multiplication by 2 (*2) in terms or arithmetic


For example

2 in binary 10, if you do <<1 that would be 100 which is 4

4 in binary 100, if you do <<1 that would be 1000 which is 8

There are few named constructors in GridView for different scenarios,

Constructors

  1. GridView
  2. GridView.builder
  3. GridView.count

          return Card(child: Image.network(url));
        }).toList(),
      ),
    );
  }
}

If you want your GridView items to be dynamic according to the content, you can few lines to do that but the simplest way to use StaggeredGridView package. I have provided an answer with example here.

Below is an example for a GridView.count:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() => runApp(
      MaterialApp(
        home: ExampleGrid(),
      ),
    );

class ExampleGrid extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      body: GridView.count(
        crossAxisCount: 4,
        children: List.generate(40, (index) {
          return Card(
            child: Image.network("https://robohash.org/$index"),
          ); //robohash.org api provide you different images for any number you are giving
        }),
      ),
    );
  }
}

How do you implement a re-try-catch?

A simple way to solve the issue would be to wrap the try/catch in a while loop and maintain a count. This way you could prevent an infinite loop by checking a count against some other variable while maintaining a log of your failures. It isn't the most exquisite solution, but it would work.

HTTP 404 Page Not Found in Web Api hosted in IIS 7.5

For me the solution was removing the following lines from my web.config file:

I noticed that VS had added them automatically, not sure why

How to convert ActiveRecord results into an array of hashes

as_json

You should use as_json method which converts ActiveRecord objects to Ruby Hashes despite its name

tasks_records = TaskStoreStatus.all
tasks_records = tasks_records.as_json

# You can now add new records and return the result as json by calling `to_json`

tasks_records << TaskStoreStatus.last.as_json
tasks_records << { :task_id => 10, :store_name => "Koramanagala", :store_region => "India" }
tasks_records.to_json

serializable_hash

You can also convert any ActiveRecord objects to a Hash with serializable_hash and you can convert any ActiveRecord results to an Array with to_a, so for your example :

tasks_records = TaskStoreStatus.all
tasks_records.to_a.map(&:serializable_hash)

And if you want an ugly solution for Rails prior to v2.3

JSON.parse(tasks_records.to_json) # please don't do it

Reset Entity-Framework Migrations

In Entity Framework Core.

  1. Remove all files from migrations folder.

  2. Type in console

    dotnet ef database drop -f -v
    dotnet ef migrations add Initial
    dotnet ef database update
    

UPD: Do that only if you don't care about your current persisted data. If you do, use Greg Gum's answer

jQuery "blinking highlight" effect on div?

Take a look at http://jqueryui.com/demos/effect/. It has an effect named pulsate that will do exactly what you want.

$("#trigger").change(function() {$("#div_you_want_to_blink").effect("pulsate");});

Command to delete all pods in all kubernetes namespaces

You can simply run

kubectl delete all --all --all-namespaces
  • The first all means the common resource kinds (pods, replicasets, deployments, ...)

    • kubectl get all == kubectl get pods,rs,deployments, ...
  • The second --all means to select all resources of the selected kinds


Note that all does not include:

  • non namespaced resourced (e.g., clusterrolebindings, clusterroles, ...)
  • configmaps
  • rolebindings
  • roles
  • secrets
  • ...

In order to clean up perfectly,

  • you could use other tools (e.g., Helm, Kustomize, ...)
  • you could use a namespace.
  • you could use labels when you create resources.

How to increase the Java stack size?

I did Anagram excersize, which is like Count Change problem but with 50 000 denominations (coins). I am not sure that it can be done iteratively, I do not care. I just know that the -xss option had no effect -- I always failed after 1024 stack frames (might be scala does bad job delivering to to java or printStackTrace limitation. I do not know). This is bad option, as explained anyway. You do not want all threads in to app to be monstrous. However, I did some experiments with new Thread (stack size). This works indeed,

  def measureStackDepth(ss: Long): Long = {
    var depth: Long = 0
      val thread: Thread = new Thread(null, new Runnable() {
        override def run() {
          try {
          def sum(n: Long): Long = {depth += 1; if (n== 0) 0 else sum(n-1) + 1}
          println("fact = " + sum(ss * 10))
          } catch {
            case e: StackOverflowError => // eat the exception, that is expected
          }
        }
      }, "deep stack for money exchange", ss)
      thread.start()
      thread.join()
    depth
  }                                               //> measureStackDepth: (ss: Long)Long


  for (ss <- (0 to 10)) println("ss = 10^" +  ss + " allows stack of size " -> measureStackDepth((scala.math.pow (10, ss)).toLong) )
                                                  //> fact = 10
                                                  //| (ss = 10^0 allows stack of size ,11)
                                                  //| fact = 100
                                                  //| (ss = 10^1 allows stack of size ,101)
                                                  //| fact = 1000
                                                  //| (ss = 10^2 allows stack of size ,1001)
                                                  //| fact = 10000
                                                  //| (ss = 10^3 allows stack of size ,10001)
                                                  //| (ss = 10^4 allows stack of size ,1336)
                                                  //| (ss = 10^5 allows stack of size ,5456)
                                                  //| (ss = 10^6 allows stack of size ,62736)
                                                  //| (ss = 10^7 allows stack of size ,623876)
                                                  //| (ss = 10^8 allows stack of size ,6247732)
                                                  //| (ss = 10^9 allows stack of size ,62498160)

You see that stack can grow exponentially deeper with exponentially more stack alloted to the thread.

Android webview launches browser when calling loadurl

If you're using webChromeClient I'll suggest you to use webChromeClient and webViewClient together. because webChromeClient does not provides shouldOverrideUrlLoading. It is okay to use both.

        webview.webViewClient = WebViewClient()
        webview.webChromeClient = Callback()

private inner class Callback : WebChromeClient() {
        override fun onProgressChanged(view: WebView?, newProgress: Int) {
            super.onProgressChanged(view, newProgress)
           
            if (newProgress == 0) {
                progressBar.visibility = View.VISIBLE
            } else if (newProgress == 100) {
                progressBar.visibility = View.GONE
            }
        }

    }

Best way to check that element is not present using Selenium WebDriver with java

Unable to comment to The Meteor Test Manual, since I have no rep, but I wanted to provide an example that took me quite awhile to figure out:

Assert.assertEquals(0, wd.findElements(By.locator("locator")).size());

This assertion verifies that there are no matching elements in the DOM and returns the value of Zero, so the assertion passes when the element is not present. Also it would fail if it was present.

What's the best way to iterate an Android Cursor?

The simplest way is this:

while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
    ...
}

The cursor starts before the first result row, so on the first iteration this moves to the first result if it exists. If the cursor is empty, or the last row has already been processed, then the loop exits neatly.

Of course, don't forget to close the cursor once you're done with it, preferably in a finally clause.

Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery(...);
try {
    while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
        ...
    }
} finally {
    cursor.close();
}

If you target API 19+, you can use try-with-resources.

try (Cursor cursor = db.rawQuery(...)) {
    while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
        ...
    }
}

Get image dimensions

Using getimagesize function, we can also get these properties of that specific image-

<?php

list($width, $height, $type, $attr) = getimagesize("image_name.jpg");

echo "Width: " .$width. "<br />";
echo "Height: " .$height. "<br />";
echo "Type: " .$type. "<br />";
echo "Attribute: " .$attr. "<br />";

//Using array
$arr = array('h' => $height, 'w' => $width, 't' => $type, 'a' => $attr);
?>


Result like this -

Width: 200
Height: 100
Type: 2
Attribute: width='200' height='100'


Type of image consider like -

1 = GIF
2 = JPG
3 = PNG
4 = SWF
5 = PSD
6 = BMP
7 = TIFF(intel byte order)
8 = TIFF(motorola byte order)
9 = JPC
10 = JP2
11 = JPX
12 = JB2
13 = SWC
14 = IFF
15 = WBMP
16 = XBM

How to save the contents of a div as a image?

There are several of this same question (1, 2). One way of doing it is using canvas. Here's a working solution. Here you can see some working examples of using this library.

correct quoting for cmd.exe for multiple arguments

Note the "" at the beginning and at the end!

Run a program and pass a Long Filename

Spaces in Program Path + parameters

cmd /c ""c:\Program Files\demo.cmd"" Parameter1 Param2

Spaces in Program Path + parameters with spaces

cmd /k ""c:\batch files\demo.cmd" "Parameter 1 with space" "Parameter2 with space""

Launch Demo1 and then Launch Demo2

What is the purpose of shuffling and sorting phase in the reducer in Map Reduce Programming?

This is a good reading. Hope it helps. In terms of sorting you are concerning, I think it is for the merge operation in last step of Map. When map operation is done, and need to write the result to local disk, a multi-merge will be operated on the splits generated from buffer. And for a merge operation, sorting each partition in advanced is helpful.

QByteArray to QString

You may find QString::fromUtf8() also useful.

For QByteArray input of "\010" and "\000",

QString::fromLocal8Bit(input, 1) returns "\010" and ""

QString::fromUtf8(input, 1) correctly returns "\010" and "\000".

CSS Circular Cropping of Rectangle Image

The best way I've been able to do this is with using the new css object-fit (1) property and the padding-bottom (2) hack.

You need a wrapper element around the image. You can use whatever you want, but I like using the new HTML picture tag.

_x000D_
_x000D_
.rounded {
  display: block;
  width: 100%;
  height: 0;
  padding-bottom: 100%;
  border-radius: 50%;
  overflow: hidden;
}

.rounded img {
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  object-fit: cover;
}


/* These classes just used for demo */
.w25 {
  width: 25%;
}

.w50 {
  width: 50%;
}

How to effectively work with multiple files in Vim

My way to effectively work with multiple files is to use tmux.

It allows you to split windows vertically and horizontally, as in:

enter image description here

I have it working this way on both my mac and linux machines and I find it better than the native window pane switching mechanism that's provided (on Macs). I find the switching easier and only with tmux have I been able to get the 'new page at the same current directory' working on my mac (despite the fact that there seems to be options to open new panes in the same directory) which is a surprisingly critical piece. An instant new pane at the current location is amazingly useful. A method that does new panes with the same key combos for both OS's is critical for me and a bonus for all for future personal compatibility. Aside from multiple tmux panes, I've also tried using multiple tabs, e.g. enter image description here and multiple new windows, e.g. enter image description here and ultimately I've found that multiple tmux panes to be the most useful for me. I am very 'visual' and like to keep my various contexts right in front of me, connected together as panes.

tmux also support horizontal and vertical panes which the older screen didn't (though mac's iterm2 seems to support it, but again, the current directory setting didn't work for me). tmux 1.8

Push git commits & tags simultaneously

Git GUI

Git GUI has a PUSH button - pardon the pun, and the dialog box it opens has a checkbox for tags.

I pushed a branch from the command line, without tags, and then tried again pushing the branch using the --follow-tags option descibed above. The option is described as following annotated tags. My tags were simple tags.

I'd fixed something, tagged the commit with the fix in, (so colleagues can cherry pick the fix,) then changed the software version number and tagged the release I created (so colleagues can clone that release).

Git returned saying everything was up-to-date. It did not send the tags! Perhaps because the tags weren't annotated. Perhaps because there was nothing new on the branch.

When I did a similar push with Git GUI, the tags were sent.

Tags sent with Git GUI

For the time being, I am going to be pushing my changes to my remotes with Git GUI and not with the command line and --follow-tags.

What is the argument for printf that formats a long?

I think to answer this question definitively would require knowing the compiler name and version that you are using and the platform (CPU type, OS etc.) that it is compiling for.

Why the previous answer not worked

 Pattern p2 = Pattern.compile("sig=(.*?)[&]");
        Matcher m2 = p2.matcher(url);
        String sig = null;
        if (m2.find()) {
            sig = m2.group(1);
        }

As of November 2016, this is a little rough around the edges, but displays the basic principle. The url_encoded_fmt_stream_map today does not have a space after the colon (better make this optional) and "sig" has been changed to "signature"

and while i am debuging the code i found the new keyword its signature&s in many video's URL

Some time This Code Not worked proper

Same-origin policy

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same-origin_policy

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-origin_resource_sharing

problem of Same-origin policy. Essentially, you cannot download this file from www.youtube.com because they are different domains. A workaround of this problem is [CORS][1]. 

Ref : https://superuser.com/questions/773719/how-do-all-of-these-save-video-from-youtube-services-work/773998#773998

url_encoded_fmt_stream_map // traditional: contains video and audio stream
adaptive_fmts              // DASH: contains video or audio stream

Each of these is a comma separated array of what I would call "stream objects". Each "stream object" will contain values like this

url  // direct HTTP link to a video
itag // code specifying the quality
s    // signature, security measure to counter downloading

Each URL will be encoded so you will need to decode them. Now the tricky part.

YouTube has at least 3 security levels for their videos

unsecured // as expected, you can download these with just the unencoded URL
s         // see below
RTMPE     // uses "rtmpe://" protocol, no known method for these

The RTMPE videos are typically used on official full length movies, and are protected with SWF Verification Type 2. This has been around since 2011 and has yet to be reverse engineered.

The type "s" videos are the most difficult that can actually be downloaded. You will typcially see these on VEVO videos and the like. They start with a signature such as

AA5D05FA7771AD4868BA4C977C3DEAAC620DE020E.0F421820F42978A1F8EAFCDAC4EF507DB5 Then the signature is scrambled with a function like this

function mo(a) {
  a = a.split("");
  a = lo.rw(a, 1);
  a = lo.rw(a, 32);
  a = lo.IC(a, 1);
  a = lo.wS(a, 77);
  a = lo.IC(a, 3);
  a = lo.wS(a, 77);
  a = lo.IC(a, 3);
  a = lo.wS(a, 44);
  return a.join("")
}

This function is dynamic, it typically changes every day. To make it more difficult the function is hosted at a URL such as

http://s.ytimg.com/yts/jsbin/html5player-en_US-vflycBCEX.js

this introduces the problem of Same-origin policy. Essentially, you cannot download this file from www.youtube.com because they are different domains. A workaround of this problem is CORS. With CORS, s.ytimg.com could add this header

Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://www.youtube.com

and it would allow the JavaScript to download from www.youtube.com. Of course they do not do this. A workaround for this workaround is to use a CORS proxy. This is a proxy that responds with the following header to all requests

Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *

So, now that you have proxied your JS file, and used the function to scramble the signature, you can use that in the querystring to download a video.

What is the most effective way for float and double comparison?

I ended up spending quite some time going through material in this great thread. I doubt everyone wants to spend so much time so I would highlight the summary of what I learned and the solution I implemented.

Quick Summary

  1. Is 1e-8 approximately same as 1e-16? If you are looking at noisy sensor data then probably yes but if you are doing molecular simulation then may be not! Bottom line: You always need to think of tolerance value in context of specific function call and not just make it generic app-wide hard-coded constant.
  2. For general library functions, it's still nice to have parameter with default tolerance. A typical choice is numeric_limits::epsilon() which is same as FLT_EPSILON in float.h. This is however problematic because epsilon for comparing values like 1.0 is not same as epsilon for values like 1E9. The FLT_EPSILON is defined for 1.0.
  3. The obvious implementation to check if number is within tolerance is fabs(a-b) <= epsilon however this doesn't work because default epsilon is defined for 1.0. We need to scale epsilon up or down in terms of a and b.
  4. There are two solution to this problem: either you set epsilon proportional to max(a,b) or you can get next representable numbers around a and then see if b falls into that range. The former is called "relative" method and later is called ULP method.
  5. Both methods actually fails anyway when comparing with 0. In this case, application must supply correct tolerance.

Utility Functions Implementation (C++11)

//implements relative method - do not use for comparing with zero
//use this most of the time, tolerance needs to be meaningful in your context
template<typename TReal>
static bool isApproximatelyEqual(TReal a, TReal b, TReal tolerance = std::numeric_limits<TReal>::epsilon())
{
    TReal diff = std::fabs(a - b);
    if (diff <= tolerance)
        return true;

    if (diff < std::fmax(std::fabs(a), std::fabs(b)) * tolerance)
        return true;

    return false;
}

//supply tolerance that is meaningful in your context
//for example, default tolerance may not work if you are comparing double with float
template<typename TReal>
static bool isApproximatelyZero(TReal a, TReal tolerance = std::numeric_limits<TReal>::epsilon())
{
    if (std::fabs(a) <= tolerance)
        return true;
    return false;
}


//use this when you want to be on safe side
//for example, don't start rover unless signal is above 1
template<typename TReal>
static bool isDefinitelyLessThan(TReal a, TReal b, TReal tolerance = std::numeric_limits<TReal>::epsilon())
{
    TReal diff = a - b;
    if (diff < tolerance)
        return true;

    if (diff < std::fmax(std::fabs(a), std::fabs(b)) * tolerance)
        return true;

    return false;
}
template<typename TReal>
static bool isDefinitelyGreaterThan(TReal a, TReal b, TReal tolerance = std::numeric_limits<TReal>::epsilon())
{
    TReal diff = a - b;
    if (diff > tolerance)
        return true;

    if (diff > std::fmax(std::fabs(a), std::fabs(b)) * tolerance)
        return true;

    return false;
}

//implements ULP method
//use this when you are only concerned about floating point precision issue
//for example, if you want to see if a is 1.0 by checking if its within
//10 closest representable floating point numbers around 1.0.
template<typename TReal>
static bool isWithinPrecisionInterval(TReal a, TReal b, unsigned int interval_size = 1)
{
    TReal min_a = a - (a - std::nextafter(a, std::numeric_limits<TReal>::lowest())) * interval_size;
    TReal max_a = a + (std::nextafter(a, std::numeric_limits<TReal>::max()) - a) * interval_size;

    return min_a <= b && max_a >= b;
}

Value does not fall within the expected range

This might be due to the fact that you are trying to add a ListBoxItem with a same name to the page.

If you want to refresh the content of the listbox with the newly retrieved values you will have to first manually remove the content of the listbox other wise your loop will try to create lb_1 again and add it to the same list.

Look at here for a similar problem that occured Silverlight: Value does not fall within the expected range exception

Getting the "real" Facebook profile picture URL from graph API

For anyone else looking to get the profile pic in iOS:

I just did this to get the user's Facebook pic:

NSString *profilePicURL = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://graph.facebook.com/%@/picture?type=large", fbUserID];

where 'fbUserID' is the Facebook user's profile ID.

This way I can always just call the url in profilePicURL to get the image, and I always get it, no problem. If you've already got the user ID, you don't need any API requests, just stick the ID into the url after facebook.com/.

FYI to anyone looking who needs the fbUserID in iOS:

if (FBSession.activeSession.isOpen) {
    [[FBRequest requestForMe] startWithCompletionHandler:
     ^(FBRequestConnection *connection,
       NSDictionary<FBGraphUser> *user,
       NSError *error) {
         if (!error) {
             self.userName = user.name;
             self.fbUserID = user.id;
         }
     }];
}

You'll need an active FBSession for that to work (see Facebook's docs, and the "Scrumptious" example).

Allowing the "Enter" key to press the submit button, as opposed to only using MouseClick

You can use the top level containers root pane to set a default button, which will allow it to respond to the enter.

SwingUtilities.getRootPane(submitButton).setDefaultButton(submitButton);

This, of course, assumes you've added the button to a valid container ;)

UPDATED

This is a basic example using the JRootPane#setDefaultButton and key bindings API

public class DefaultButton {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new DefaultButton();
    }

    public DefaultButton() {
        EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                try {
                    UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
                } catch (ClassNotFoundException | InstantiationException | IllegalAccessException | UnsupportedLookAndFeelException ex) {
                }

                JFrame frame = new JFrame("Test");
                frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
                frame.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
                frame.add(new TestPane());
                frame.pack();
                frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
                frame.setVisible(true);
            }

        });
    }

    public class TestPane extends JPanel {

        private JButton button;
        private JLabel label;
        private int count;

        public TestPane() {

            label = new JLabel("Press the button");
            button = new JButton("Press me");

            setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
            GridBagConstraints gbc = new GridBagConstraints();
            gbc.gridy = 0;
            add(label, gbc);
            gbc.gridy++;
            add(button, gbc);

            count++;
            label.setText("Pressed " + count + " times");

This of course, assumes that the component with focus does not consume the key event in question (like the second button consuming the space or enter keys

Avoid web.config inheritance in child web application using inheritInChildApplications

We're getting errors about duplicate configuration directives on the one of our apps. After investigation it looks like it's because of this issue.

In brief, our root website is ASP.NET 3.5 (which is 2.0 with specific libraries added), and we have a subapplication that is ASP.NET 4.0.

web.config inheritance causes the ASP.NET 4.0 sub-application to inherit the web.config file of the parent ASP.NET 3.5 application.

However, the ASP.NET 4.0 application's global (or "root") web.config, which resides at C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Config\web.config and C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Config\web.config (depending on your bitness), already contains these config sections.

The ASP.NET 4.0 app then tries to merge together the root ASP.NET 4.0 web.config, and the parent web.config (the one for an ASP.NET 3.5 app), and runs into duplicates in the node.

The only solution I've been able to find is to remove the config sections from the parent web.config, and then either

  1. Determine that you didn't need them in your root application, or if you do
  2. Upgrade the parent app to ASP.NET 4.0 (so it gains access to the root web.config's configSections)

Angular no provider for NameService

You should be injecting NameService inside providers array of your AppModule's NgModule metadata.

@NgModule({
   providers: [MyService]
})

and be sure import in your component by same name (case sensitive),becouse SystemJs is case sensitive (by design). If you use different path name in your project files like this:

main.module.ts

import { MyService } from './MyService';

your-component.ts

import { MyService } from './Myservice';

then System js will make double imports

What is the difference between "Form Controls" and "ActiveX Control" in Excel 2010?

Google is full of information on this. As Hans Passant said, Form controls are built in to Excel whereas ActiveX controls are loaded separately.

Generally you'll use Forms controls, they're simpler. ActiveX controls allow for more flexible design and should be used when the job just can't be done with a basic Forms control.

Many user's computers by default won't trust ActiveX, and it will be disabled; this sometimes needs to be manually added to the trust center. ActiveX is a microsoft-based technology and, as far as I'm aware, is not supported on the Mac. This is something you'll have to also consider, should you (or anyone you provide a workbook to) decide to use it on a Mac.

How to install pkg config in windows?

I would like to extend the answer of @dzintars about the Cygwin version of pkg-config in that focus how should one use it properly with CMake, because I see various comments about CMake in this topic.

I have experienced many troubles with CMake + Cygwin's pkg-config and I want to share my experience how to avoid them.

1. The symlink C:/Cygwin64/bin/pkg-config -> pkgconf.exe does not work in Windows console.

It is not a native Windows .lnk symlink and it won't be callable in Windows console cmd.exe even if you add ".;" to your %PATHEXT% (see https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg104088.html).

It won't work from CMake, because CMake calls pkg-config with the method execute_process() (FindPkgConfig.cmake) which opens a new cmd.exe.

Solution: Add -DPKG_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE=C:/Cygwin64/bin/pkgconf.exe to the CMake command line (or set it in CMakeLists.txt).

2. Cygwin's pkg-config recognizes only Cygwin paths in PKG_CONFIG_PATH (no Windows paths).

For example, on my system the .pc files are located in C:\Cygwin64\usr\x86_64-w64-mingw32\sys-root\mingw\lib\pkgconfig. The following three paths are valid, but only path C works in PKG_CONFIG_PATH:

  • A) c:/Cygwin64/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/pkgconfig - does not work.
  • B) /c/cygdrive/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/pkgconfig - does not work.
  • C) /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/lib/pkgconfig - works.

Solution: add .pc files location always as a Cygwin path into PKG_CONFIG_PATH.

3) CMake converts forward slashes to backslashes in PKG_CONFIG_PATH on Cygwin.

It happens due to the bug https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/-/issues/21629. It prevents using the workaround described in [2].

Solution: manually update the function _pkg_set_path_internal() in the file C:/Program Files/CMake/share/cmake-3.x/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake. Comment/remove the line:

file(TO_NATIVE_PATH "${_pkgconfig_path}" _pkgconfig_path)

4) CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH, CMAKE_FRAMEWORK_PATH, CMAKE_APPBUNDLE_PATH have no effect on pkg-config in Cygwin.

Reason: the bug https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/-/issues/21775.

Solution: Use only PKG_CONFIG_PATH as an environment variable if you run CMake builds on Cygwin. Forget about CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH, CMAKE_FRAMEWORK_PATH, CMAKE_APPBUNDLE_PATH.

Best approach to converting Boolean object to string in java

Depends on what you mean by "efficient". Performance-wise both versions are the same as its the same bytecode.

$ ./javap.exe -c java.lang.String | grep -A 10 "valueOf(boolean)"
  public static java.lang.String valueOf(boolean);
    Code:
       0: iload_0
       1: ifeq          9
       4: ldc           #14                 // String true
       6: goto          11
       9: ldc           #10                 // String false
      11: areturn


$ ./javap.exe -c java.lang.Boolean | grep -A 10 "toString(boolean)"
  public static java.lang.String toString(boolean);
    Code:

How to create nested directories using Mkdir in Golang?

If the issue is to create all the necessary parent directories, you could consider using os.MkDirAll()

MkdirAll creates a directory named path, along with any necessary parents, and returns nil, or else returns an error.

The path_test.go is a good illustration on how to use it:

func TestMkdirAll(t *testing.T) {
    tmpDir := TempDir()
    path := tmpDir + "/_TestMkdirAll_/dir/./dir2"
    err := MkdirAll(path, 0777)
    if err != nil {
    t.Fatalf("MkdirAll %q: %s", path, err)
    }
    defer RemoveAll(tmpDir + "/_TestMkdirAll_")
...
}

(Make sure to specify a sensible permission value, as mentioned in this answer)

Adding a background image to a <div> element

You can simply add an img src Attribute with id:

<body>
<img id="backgroundimage" src="bgimage.jpg" border="0" alt="">
</body>

and in your CSS file (stretch background):

#backgroundimage
{
   height: auto;
   left: 0;
   margin: 0;
   min-height: 100%;
   min-width: 674px;
   padding: 0;
   position: fixed;
   top: 0;
   width: 100%;
   z-index: -1;
}

What is the definition of "interface" in object oriented programming

An interface is one of the more overloaded and confusing terms in development.

It is actually a concept of abstraction and encapsulation. For a given "box", it declares the "inputs" and "outputs" of that box. In the world of software, that usually means the operations that can be invoked on the box (along with arguments) and in some cases the return types of these operations.

What it does not do is define what the semantics of these operations are, although it is commonplace (and very good practice) to document them in proximity to the declaration (e.g., via comments), or to pick good naming conventions. Nevertheless, there are no guarantees that these intentions would be followed.

Here is an analogy: Take a look at your television when it is off. Its interface are the buttons it has, the various plugs, and the screen. Its semantics and behavior are that it takes inputs (e.g., cable programming) and has outputs (display on the screen, sound, etc.). However, when you look at a TV that is not plugged in, you are projecting your expected semantics into an interface. For all you know, the TV could just explode when you plug it in. However, based on its "interface" you can assume that it won't make any coffee since it doesn't have a water intake.

In object oriented programming, an interface generally defines the set of methods (or messages) that an instance of a class that has that interface could respond to.

What adds to the confusion is that in some languages, like Java, there is an actual interface with its language specific semantics. In Java, for example, it is a set of method declarations, with no implementation, but an interface also corresponds to a type and obeys various typing rules.

In other languages, like C++, you do not have interfaces. A class itself defines methods, but you could think of the interface of the class as the declarations of the non-private methods. Because of how C++ compiles, you get header files where you could have the "interface" of the class without actual implementation. You could also mimic Java interfaces with abstract classes with pure virtual functions, etc.

An interface is most certainly not a blueprint for a class. A blueprint, by one definition is a "detailed plan of action". An interface promises nothing about an action! The source of the confusion is that in most languages, if you have an interface type that defines a set of methods, the class that implements it "repeats" the same methods (but provides definition), so the interface looks like a skeleton or an outline of the class.

App installation failed due to application-identifier entitlement

I had the same error until I restored the watch to factory defaults as per https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/17948

Should I call Close() or Dispose() for stream objects?

This is an old question, but you can now write using statements without needing to block each one. They will be disposed of in reverse order when the containing block is finished.

using var responseStream = response.GetResponseStream();
using var reader = new StreamReader(responseStream);
using var writer = new StreamWriter(filename);

int chunkSize = 1024;
while (!reader.EndOfStream)
{
    char[] buffer = new char[chunkSize];
    int count = reader.Read(buffer, 0, chunkSize);
    if (count != 0)
    {
        writer.Write(buffer, 0, count);
    }
}

What is the difference between field, variable, attribute, and property in Java POJOs?

If your question was prompted by using JAXB and wanting to choose the correct XMLAccessType, I had the same question. The JAXB Javadoc says that a "field" is a non-static, non-transient instance variable. A "property" has a getter/setter pair (so it should be a private variable). A "public member" is public, and therefore is probably a constant. Also in JAXB, an "attribute" refers to part of an XML element, as in <myElement myAttribute="first">hello world</myElement>.

It seems that a Java "property," in general, can be defined as a field with at least a getter or some other public method that allows you to get its value. Some people also say that a property needs to have a setter. For definitions like this, context is everything.

Call to undefined function App\Http\Controllers\ [ function name ]

say you define the static getFactorial function inside a CodeController

then this is the way you need to call a static function, because static properties and methods exists with in the class, not in the objects created using the class.

CodeController::getFactorial($index);

----------------UPDATE----------------

To best practice I think you can put this kind of functions inside a separate file so you can maintain with more easily.

to do that

create a folder inside app directory and name it as lib (you can put a name you like).

this folder to needs to be autoload to do that add app/lib to composer.json as below. and run the composer dumpautoload command.

"autoload": {
    "classmap": [
                "app/commands",
                "app/controllers",
                ............
                "app/lib"
    ]
},

then files inside lib will autoloaded.

then create a file inside lib, i name it helperFunctions.php

inside that define the function.

if ( ! function_exists('getFactorial'))
{

    /**
     * return the factorial of a number
     *
     * @param $number
     * @return string
     */
    function getFactorial($date)
    {
        $fact = 1;

        for($i = 1; $i <= $num ;$i++)
            $fact = $fact * $i;

        return $fact;

     }
}

and call it anywhere within the app as

$fatorial_value = getFactorial(225);

How to import an existing X.509 certificate and private key in Java keystore to use in SSL?

Based on the answers above, here is how to create a brand new keystore for your java based web server, out of an independently created Comodo cert and private key using keytool (requires JDK 1.6+)

  1. Issue this command and at the password prompt enter somepass - 'server.crt' is your server's cert and 'server.key' is the private key you used for issuing the CSR: openssl pkcs12 -export -in server.crt -inkey server.key -out server.p12 -name www.yourdomain.com -CAfile AddTrustExternalCARoot.crt -caname "AddTrust External CA Root"

  2. Then use keytool to convert the p12 keystore into a jks keystore: keytool -importkeystore -deststorepass somepass -destkeypass somepass -destkeystore keystore.jks -srckeystore server.p12 -srcstoretype PKCS12 -srcstorepass somepass

Then import the other two root/intermediate certs you received from Comodo:

  1. Import COMODORSAAddTrustCA.crt: keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias cert1 -file COMODORSAAddTrustCA.crt -keystore keystore.jks

  2. Import COMODORSADomainValidationSecureServerCA.crt: keytool -import -trustcacerts -alias cert2 -file COMODORSADomainValidationSecureServerCA.crt -keystore keystore.jks

What are these attributes: `aria-labelledby` and `aria-hidden`

Aria is used to improve the user experience of visually impaired users. Visually impaired users navigate though application using screen reader software like JAWS, NVDA,.. While navigating through the application, screen reader software announces content to users. Aria can be used to add content in the code which helps screen reader users understand role, state, label and purpose of the control

Aria does not change anything visually. (Aria is scared of designers too).

aria-hidden:

aria-hidden attribute is used to hide content for visually impaired users who navigate through application using screen readers (JAWS, NVDA,...).

aria-hidden attribute is used with values true, false.

How To Use:

<i class = "fa fa-books" aria-hidden = "true"></i>

using aria-hidden = "true" on the <i> hides content to screen reader users with no visual change in the application.

aria-label

aria-label attribute is used to communicate the label to screen reader users. Usually search input field does not have visual label (thanks to designers). aria-label can be used to communicate the label of control to screen reader users

How To Use:

<input type = "edit" aria-label = "search" placeholder = "search">

There is no visual change in application. But screen readers can understand the purpose of control

aria-labelledby

Both aria-label and aria-labelledby is used to communicate the label. But aria-labelledby can be used to reference any label already present in the page whereas aria-label is used to communicate the label which i not displayed visually

Approach 1:

<span id = "sd"> Search </span>

<input type = "text" aria-labelledby = "sd">

aria-labelledby can also be used to combine two labels for screen reader users

Approach 2:

<span id = "de"> Billing Address </span>

<span id = "sd"> First Name </span>

<input type = "text" aria-labelledby = "de sd">

How to develop Desktop Apps using HTML/CSS/JavaScript?

Sorry to burst your bubble but Spotify desktop client is just a Webkit-based browser. Of course it exposes specific additional functionality, but it's only able to run JS and render HTML/CSS because it has a JS engine as well as a Chromium rendering engine. This does not help you with coding a client-side web-app and deploying to multiple platforms.

What you're looking for is similar to Sencha Touch - a framework that allows for HTML5 apps to be natively deployed to iOS, Android and Blackberry devices. It basically acts as an intermediary between certain API calls and device-specific functionality available.

I have no experience with appcelerator, bit it appears to be doing exactly that - and get very favourable reviews online. You should give it a go (unless you wanted to go back to 1999 and roll with MS HTA ;)

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

As additional possibility for future googlers

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

As of this I use:

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

(In Laravel 7 with mysql 8).

AngularJS Uploading An Image With ng-upload

In my case above mentioned methods work fine with php but when i try to upload files with these methods in node.js then i have some problem. So instead of using $http({..,..,...}) use the normal jquery ajax.

For select file use this

<input type="file" name="file" onchange="angular.element(this).scope().uploadFile(this)"/>

And in controller

$scope.uploadFile = function(element) {   
var data = new FormData();
data.append('file', $(element)[0].files[0]);
jQuery.ajax({
      url: 'brand/upload',
      type:'post',
      data: data,
      contentType: false,
      processData: false,
      success: function(response) {
      console.log(response);
      },
      error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorMessage) {
      alert('Error uploading: ' + errorMessage);
      }
 });   
};

how to compare the Java Byte[] array?

Use Arrays.equals() if you want to compare the actual content of arrays that contain primitive types values (like byte).

Unit testing with Spring Security

Using a static in this case is the best way to write secure code.

Yes, statics are generally bad - generally, but in this case, the static is what you want. Since the security context associates a Principal with the currently running thread, the most secure code would access the static from the thread as directly as possible. Hiding the access behind a wrapper class that is injected provides an attacker with more points to attack. They wouldn't need access to the code (which they would have a hard time changing if the jar was signed), they just need a way to override the configuration, which can be done at runtime or slipping some XML onto the classpath. Even using annotation injection would be overridable with external XML. Such XML could inject the running system with a rogue principal.

How to restore PostgreSQL dump file into Postgres databases?

You didn't mention how your backup was made, so the generic answer is: Usually with the psql tool.

Depending on what pg_dump was instructed to dump, the SQL file can have different sets of SQL commands. For example, if you instruct pg_dump to dump a database using --clean and --schema-only, you can't expect to be able to restore the database from that dump as there will be no SQL commands for COPYing (or INSERTing if --inserts is used ) the actual data in the tables. A dump like that will contain only DDL SQL commands, and will be able to recreate the schema but not the actual data.

A typical SQL dump is restored with psql:

psql (connection options here) database  < yourbackup.sql

or alternatively from a psql session,

psql (connection options here) database
database=# \i /path/to/yourbackup.sql

In the case of backups made with pg_dump -Fc ("custom format"), which is not a plain SQL file but a compressed file, you need to use the pg_restore tool.

If you're working on a unix-like, try this:

man psql
man pg_dump
man pg_restore

otherwise, take a look at the html docs. Good luck!

So, the concept of a "wildcard" in Regular Expressions works a bit differently. In order to match "any character" you would use "." The "*" modifier means, match any number of times.

How to generate a Dockerfile from an image?

How to generate or reverse a Dockerfile from an image?

You can.

alias dfimage="docker run -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock --rm alpine/dfimage"
dfimage -sV=1.36 nginx:latest

It will pull the target docker image automaticlaly and export Dockerfile. Parameter -sV=1.36 is not always required.

Reference: https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/alpine/dfimage

below is the old answer, it doesn't work any more.

$ docker pull centurylink/dockerfile-from-image
$ alias dfimage="docker run -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock --rm centurylink/dockerfile-from-image"
$ dfimage --help
Usage: dockerfile-from-image.rb [options] <image_id>
    -f, --full-tree                  Generate Dockerfile for all parent layers
    -h, --help                       Show this message

Shortest way to print current year in a website

You've asked for a JavaScript solution, so here's the shortest I can get it:

<script>document.write(new Date().getFullYear())</script>

That will work in all browsers I've run across.

How I got there:

  • You can just call getFullYear directly on the newly-created Date, no need for a variable. new Date().getFullYear() may look a bit odd, but it's reliable: the new Date() part is done first, then the .getFullYear().
  • You can drop the type, because JavaScript is the default; this is even documented as part of the HTML5 specification, which is likely in this case to be writing up what browsers already do.
  • You can drop the semicolon at the end for one extra saved character, because JavaScript has "automatic semicolon insertion," a feature I normally despise and rail against, but in this specific use case it should be safe enough.

It's important to note that this only works on browsers where JavaScript is enabled. Ideally, this would be better handled as an offline batch job (sed script on *nix, etc.) once a year, but if you want the JavaScript solution, I think that's as short as it gets. (Now I've gone and tempted fate.)


However, unless you're using a server that can only provide static files, you're probably better off doing this on the server with a templating engine and using caching headers to allow the resulting page to be cached until the date needs to change. That way, you don't require JavaScript on the client. Using a non-defer/async script tag in the content also briefly delays the parsing and presentation of the page (for exactly this reason: because the code in the script might use document.write to output HTML).

How to stop flask application without using ctrl-c

Google Cloud VM instance + Flask App

I hosted my Flask Application on Google Cloud Platform Virtual Machine. I started the app using python main.py But the problem was ctrl+c did not work to stop the server.

This command $ sudo netstat -tulnp | grep :5000 terminates the server.

My Flask app runs on port 5000 by default.

Note: My VM instance is running on Linux 9.

It works for this. Haven't tested for other platforms. Feel free to update or comment if it works for other versions too.

Custom Date/Time formatting in SQL Server

If dt is your datetime column, then

For 1:

SUBSTRING(CONVERT(varchar, dt, 13), 1, 2)
    + UPPER(SUBSTRING(CONVERT(varchar, dt, 13), 4, 3))

For 2:

SUBSTRING(CONVERT(varchar, dt, 100), 13, 2)
    + SUBSTRING(CONVERT(varchar, dt, 100), 16, 3)

iText - add content to existing PDF file

This is the most complicated scenario I can imagine: I have a PDF file created with Ilustrator and modified with Acrobat to have AcroFields (AcroForm) that I'm going to fill with data with this Java code, the result of that PDF file with the data in the fields is modified adding a Document.

Actually in this case I'm dynamically generating a background that is added to a PDF that is also dynamically generated with a Document with an unknown amount of data or pages.

I'm using JBoss and this code is inside a JSP file (should work in any JSP webserver).

Note: if you are using IExplorer you must submit a HTTP form with POST method to be able to download the file. If not you are going to see the PDF code in the screen. This does not happen in Chrome or Firefox.

<%@ page import="java.io.*, com.lowagie.text.*, com.lowagie.text.pdf.*" %><%

response.setContentType("application/download");
response.setHeader("Content-disposition","attachment;filename=listaPrecios.pdf" );  

// -------- FIRST THE PDF WITH THE INFO ----------
String str = "";
// lots of words
for(int i = 0; i < 800; i++) str += "Hello" + i + " ";
// the document
Document doc = new Document( PageSize.A4, 25, 25, 200, 70 );
ByteArrayOutputStream streamDoc = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
PdfWriter.getInstance( doc, streamDoc );
// lets start filling with info
doc.open();
doc.add(new Paragraph(str));
doc.close();
// the beauty of this is the PDF will have all the pages it needs
PdfReader frente = new PdfReader(streamDoc.toByteArray());
PdfStamper stamperDoc = new PdfStamper( frente, response.getOutputStream());

// -------- THE BACKGROUND PDF FILE -------
// in JBoss the file has to be in webinf/classes to be readed this way
PdfReader fondo = new PdfReader("listaPrecios.pdf");
ByteArrayOutputStream streamFondo = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
PdfStamper stamperFondo = new PdfStamper( fondo, streamFondo);
// the acroform
AcroFields form = stamperFondo.getAcroFields();
// the fields 
form.setField("nombre","Avicultura");
form.setField("descripcion","Esto describe para que sirve la lista ");
stamperFondo.setFormFlattening(true);
stamperFondo.close();
// our background is ready
PdfReader fondoEstampado = new PdfReader( streamFondo.toByteArray() );

// ---- ADDING THE BACKGROUND TO EACH DATA PAGE ---------
PdfImportedPage pagina = stamperDoc.getImportedPage(fondoEstampado,1);
int n = frente.getNumberOfPages();
PdfContentByte background;
for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
    background = stamperDoc.getUnderContent(i);
    background.addTemplate(pagina, 0, 0);
}
// after this everithing will be written in response.getOutputStream()
stamperDoc.close(); 
%>

There is another solution much simpler, and solves your problem. It depends the amount of text you want to add.

// read the file
PdfReader fondo = new PdfReader("listaPrecios.pdf");
PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper( fondo, response.getOutputStream());
PdfContentByte content = stamper.getOverContent(1);
// add text
ColumnText ct = new ColumnText( content );
// this are the coordinates where you want to add text
// if the text does not fit inside it will be cropped
ct.setSimpleColumn(50,500,500,50);
ct.setText(new Phrase(str, titulo1));
ct.go();

How to get AM/PM from a datetime in PHP

for flexibility with different formats, use:

$dt = DateTime::createFromFormat('m/d/Y H:i:s', '08/04/2010 22:15:00');
echo $dt->format('g:i A')

Check the php manual for additional format options.

Getting list of pixel values from PIL

As I commented above, problem seems to be the conversion from PIL internal list format to a standard python list type. I've found that Image.tostring() is much faster, and depending on your needs it might be enough. In my case, I needed to calculate the CRC32 digest of image data, and it suited fine.

If you need to perform more complex calculations, tom10 response involving numpy might be what you need.

Alternative to deprecated getCellType

Use getCellType()

switch (cell.getCellType()) {
   case BOOLEAN :
                 //To-do
                 break;
   case NUMERIC:
                 //To-do
                 break;
   case STRING:
                 //To-do
                 break;
}

ModelState.IsValid == false, why?

If you remove the check for the ModelsState.IsValid and let it error, if you copy this line ((System.Data.Entity.Validation.DbEntityValidationException)$exception).EntityValidationErrors and paste it in the watch section in Visual Studio it will give you exactly what the error is. Saves a lot of time checking where the error is.

How to split strings into text and number?

here is a simple function to seperate multiple words and numbers from a string of any length, the re method only seperates first two words and numbers. I think this will help everyone else in the future,

def seperate_string_number(string):
    previous_character = string[0]
    groups = []
    newword = string[0]
    for x, i in enumerate(string[1:]):
        if i.isalpha() and previous_character.isalpha():
            newword += i
        elif i.isnumeric() and previous_character.isnumeric():
            newword += i
        else:
            groups.append(newword)
            newword = i

        previous_character = i

        if x == len(string) - 2:
            groups.append(newword)
            newword = ''
    return groups

print(seperate_string_number('10in20ft10400bg'))
# outputs : ['10', 'in', '20', 'ft', '10400', 'bg'] 

How to dynamically change header based on AngularJS partial view?

Mr Hash had the best answer so far, but the solution below makes it ideal (for me) by adding the following benefits:

  • Adds no watches, which can slow things down
  • Actually automates what I might have done in the controller, yet
  • Still gives me access from the controller if I still want it.
  • No extra injecting

In the router:

  .when '/proposals',
    title: 'Proposals',
    templateUrl: 'proposals/index.html'
    controller: 'ProposalListCtrl'
    resolve:
      pageTitle: [ '$rootScope', '$route', ($rootScope, $route) ->
        $rootScope.page.setTitle($route.current.params.filter + ' ' + $route.current.title)
      ]

In the run block:

.run(['$rootScope', ($rootScope) ->
  $rootScope.page =
    prefix: ''
    body: ' | ' + 'Online Group Consensus Tool'
    brand: ' | ' + 'Spokenvote'
    setTitle: (prefix, body) ->
      @prefix = if prefix then ' ' + prefix.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + prefix.substring(1) else @prifix
      @body = if body then ' | ' + body.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + body.substring(1) else @body
      @title = @prefix + @body + @brand
])

How do you determine the size of a file in C?

POSIX

The POSIX standard has its own method to get file size.
Include the sys/stat.h header to use the function.

Synopsis

  • Get file statistics using stat(3).
  • Obtain the st_size property.

Examples

Note: It limits the size to 4GB. If not Fat32 filesystem then use the 64bit version!

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    struct stat info;
    stat(argv[1], &info);

    // 'st' is an acronym of 'stat'
    printf("%s: size=%ld\n", argv[1], info.st_size);
}
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    struct stat64 info;
    stat64(argv[1], &info);

    // 'st' is an acronym of 'stat'
    printf("%s: size=%ld\n", argv[1], info.st_size);
}

ANSI C (standard)

The ANSI C doesn't directly provides the way to determine the length of the file.
We'll have to use our mind. For now, we'll use the seek approach!

Synopsis

  • Seek the file to the end using fseek(3).
  • Get the current position using ftell(3).

Example

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    FILE* fp = fopen(argv[1]);
    int f_size;

    fseek(fp, 0, SEEK_END);
    f_size = ftell(fp);
    rewind(fp); // to back to start again

    printf("%s: size=%ld", (unsigned long)f_size);
}

If the file is stdin or a pipe. POSIX, ANSI C won't work.
It will going return 0 if the file is a pipe or stdin.

Opinion: You should use POSIX standard instead. Because, it has 64bit support.

java create date object using a value string

Try this :-

try{
        String valuee="25/04/2013";
        Date currentDate =new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy").parse(valuee);
        System.out.println("Date is ::"+currentDate);
        }catch(Exception e){
            System.out.println("Error::"+e);
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

Output:-

   Date is ::Thu Apr 25 00:00:00 GMT+05:30 2013

Your value should be proper format.

In your question also you have asked for this below :-

   Date currentDate = new Date(value);

This style of date constructor is already deprecated.So, its no more use.Being we know that Date has 6 constructor.Read more

Convert bytes to int?

int.from_bytes( bytes, byteorder, *, signed=False )

doesn't work with me I used function from this website, it works well

https://coderwall.com/p/x6xtxq/convert-bytes-to-int-or-int-to-bytes-in-python

def bytes_to_int(bytes):
    result = 0
    for b in bytes:
        result = result * 256 + int(b)
    return result

def int_to_bytes(value, length):
    result = []
    for i in range(0, length):
        result.append(value >> (i * 8) & 0xff)
    result.reverse()
    return result

Subtracting Dates in Oracle - Number or Interval Datatype?

Ok, I don't normally answer my own questions but after a bit of tinkering, I have figured out definitively how Oracle stores the result of a DATE subtraction.

When you subtract 2 dates, the value is not a NUMBER datatype (as the Oracle 11.2 SQL Reference manual would have you believe). The internal datatype number of a DATE subtraction is 14, which is a non-documented internal datatype (NUMBER is internal datatype number 2). However, it is actually stored as 2 separate two's complement signed numbers, with the first 4 bytes used to represent the number of days and the last 4 bytes used to represent the number of seconds.

An example of a DATE subtraction resulting in a positive integer difference:

select date '2009-08-07' - date '2008-08-08' from dual;

Results in:

DATE'2009-08-07'-DATE'2008-08-08'
---------------------------------
                              364

select dump(date '2009-08-07' - date '2008-08-08') from dual;

DUMP(DATE'2009-08-07'-DATE'2008
-------------------------------
Typ=14 Len=8: 108,1,0,0,0,0,0,0

Recall that the result is represented as a 2 seperate two's complement signed 4 byte numbers. Since there are no decimals in this case (364 days and 0 hours exactly), the last 4 bytes are all 0s and can be ignored. For the first 4 bytes, because my CPU has a little-endian architecture, the bytes are reversed and should be read as 1,108 or 0x16c, which is decimal 364.

An example of a DATE subtraction resulting in a negative integer difference:

select date '1000-08-07' - date '2008-08-08' from dual;

Results in:

DATE'1000-08-07'-DATE'2008-08-08'
---------------------------------
                          -368160

select dump(date '1000-08-07' - date '2008-08-08') from dual;

DUMP(DATE'1000-08-07'-DATE'2008-08-0
------------------------------------
Typ=14 Len=8: 224,97,250,255,0,0,0,0

Again, since I am using a little-endian machine, the bytes are reversed and should be read as 255,250,97,224 which corresponds to 11111111 11111010 01100001 11011111. Now since this is in two's complement signed binary numeral encoding, we know that the number is negative because the leftmost binary digit is a 1. To convert this into a decimal number we would have to reverse the 2's complement (subtract 1 then do the one's complement) resulting in: 00000000 00000101 10011110 00100000 which equals -368160 as suspected.

An example of a DATE subtraction resulting in a decimal difference:

select to_date('08/AUG/2004 14:00:00', 'DD/MON/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'
 - to_date('08/AUG/2004 8:00:00', 'DD/MON/YYYY HH24:MI:SS') from dual;

TO_DATE('08/AUG/200414:00:00','DD/MON/YYYYHH24:MI:SS')-TO_DATE('08/AUG/20048:00:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                             .25

The difference between those 2 dates is 0.25 days or 6 hours.

select dump(to_date('08/AUG/2004 14:00:00', 'DD/MON/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
 - to_date('08/AUG/2004 8:00:00', 'DD/MON/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')) from dual;

DUMP(TO_DATE('08/AUG/200414:00:
-------------------------------
Typ=14 Len=8: 0,0,0,0,96,84,0,0

Now this time, since the difference is 0 days and 6 hours, it is expected that the first 4 bytes are 0. For the last 4 bytes, we can reverse them (because CPU is little-endian) and get 84,96 = 01010100 01100000 base 2 = 21600 in decimal. Converting 21600 seconds to hours gives you 6 hours which is the difference which we expected.

Hope this helps anyone who was wondering how a DATE subtraction is actually stored.


You get the syntax error because the date math does not return a NUMBER, but it returns an INTERVAL:

SQL> SELECT DUMP(SYSDATE - start_date) from test;

DUMP(SYSDATE-START_DATE)
-------------------------------------- 
Typ=14 Len=8: 188,10,0,0,223,65,1,0

You need to convert the number in your example into an INTERVAL first using the NUMTODSINTERVAL Function

For example:

SQL> SELECT (SYSDATE - start_date) DAY(5) TO SECOND from test;

(SYSDATE-START_DATE)DAY(5)TOSECOND
----------------------------------
+02748 22:50:04.000000

SQL> SELECT (SYSDATE - start_date) from test;

(SYSDATE-START_DATE)
--------------------
           2748.9515

SQL> select NUMTODSINTERVAL(2748.9515, 'day') from dual;

NUMTODSINTERVAL(2748.9515,'DAY')
--------------------------------
+000002748 22:50:09.600000000

SQL>

Based on the reverse cast with the NUMTODSINTERVAL() function, it appears some rounding is lost in translation.

runOnUiThread in fragment

You can also post runnable using the view from any other thread. But be sure that the view is not null:

 tView.post(new Runnable() {
                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                        tView.setText("Success");
                    }
                });

According to the Documentation:

"boolean post (Runnable action) Causes the Runnable to be added to the message queue. The runnable will be run on the user interface thread."

Clicking the back button twice to exit an activity

I know this is a very old question, but this is the easiest way to do what you want.

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
   ++k; //initialise k when you first start your activity.
   if(k==1){
      //do whatever you want to do on first click for example:
      Toast.makeText(this, "Press back one more time to exit", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
   }else{
      //do whatever you want to do on the click after the first for example:
      finish(); 
   }
}

I know this isn't the best method, but it works fine!

How to fix "no valid 'aps-environment' entitlement string found for application" in Xcode 4.3?

A lot of the above answers are correct. However, there seems to be more than one possible error when dealing with this.

The one I had was a capitalization issue with my App ID. My App ID for some reason wasn't capitalized but my app was. Once I recreated the App ID with correct capitalization, it all worked smoothly. Hope this helps. Frustrating as hell though.

P.S. if it still doesn't work, try editing the Code Signing Identity Field manually with "edit". Change the second line with the name of the correct provisioning profile name.

How do I put the image on the right side of the text in a UIButton?

After trying multiple solutions from around the internet, I was not achieving the exact requirement. So I ended up writing custom utility code. Posting to help someone in future. Tested on swift 4.2

// This function should be called in/after viewDidAppear to let view render
    func addArrowImageToButton(button: UIButton, arrowImage:UIImage = #imageLiteral(resourceName: "my_image_name") ) {
        let btnSize:CGFloat = 32
        let imageView = UIImageView(image: arrowImage)
        let btnFrame = button.frame
        imageView.frame = CGRect(x: btnFrame.width-btnSize-8, y: btnFrame.height/2 - btnSize/2, width: btnSize, height: btnSize)
        button.addSubview(imageView)
        //Imageview on Top of View
        button.bringSubviewToFront(imageView)

Python + Regex: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'groups'

import re

Result = re.search(SearchStr.decode('utf-8'), htmlString.decode('utf-8'), re.I | re.U)

print Result.groups()

Works that way. The expression contains non-latin characters, so it usually fails. You've got to decode into Unicode and use re.U (Unicode) flag.

I'm a beginner too and I faced that issue a couple of times myself.
