Programs & Examples On #Highest

Search for highest key/index in an array

I had a situation where I needed to obtain the next available key in an array, which is the highest+1.

For example, if the array is $data=['1'=>'something,'34'=>'something else'] then I needed to calculate 35 to add a new element to the array that had a key higher than any of the others. In the case of an empty array I needed 1 as next available key.

This is the solution that worked:

    $highest = 0;
    foreach($data as $idx=>$dummy)
    {
        if($idx > $highest)$highest=$idx;
    }
    $highest++;

It will work in all cases, empty array or not. If you only need to find the highest key rather than highest key + 1, delete the last line. You will then get a value of 0 if the array is empty.

Remove a child with a specific attribute, in SimpleXML for PHP

This work for me:

$data = '<data>
<seg id="A1"/>
<seg id="A5"/>
<seg id="A12"/>
<seg id="A29"/>
<seg id="A30"/></data>';

$doc = new SimpleXMLElement($data);

$segarr = $doc->seg;

$count = count($segarr);

$j = 0;

for ($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++) {

    if ($segarr[$j]['id'] == 'A12') {
        unset($segarr[$j]);
        $j = $j - 1;
    }
    $j = $j + 1;
}

echo $doc->asXml();

height style property doesn't work in div elements

You're loosing your height attribute because you're changing the block element to inline (it's now going to act like a <p>). You're probably picking up that 14px height because of the text height inside your in-line div.

Inline-block may work for your needs, but you may have to implement a work around or two for cross-browser support.

IE supports inline-block, but only for elements that are natively inline.

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.servlet.ServletContext.getContextPath()Ljava/lang/String;

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.servlet.ServletContext.getContextPath()Ljava/lang/String;

That method was added in Servlet 2.5.

So this problem can have at least 3 causes:

  1. The servlet container does not support Servlet 2.5.
  2. The web.xml is not declared conform Servlet 2.5 or newer.
  3. The webapp's runtime classpath is littered with servlet container specific JAR files of a different servlet container make/version which does not support Servlet 2.5.

To solve it,

  1. Make sure that your servlet container supports at least Servlet 2.5. That are at least Tomcat 6, Glassfish 2, JBoss AS 4.1, etcetera. Tomcat 5.5 for example supports at highest Servlet 2.4. If you can't upgrade Tomcat, then you'd need to downgrade Spring to a Servlet 2.4 compatible version.
  2. Make sure that the root declaration of web.xml complies Servlet 2.5 (or newer, at least the highest whatever your target runtime supports). For an example, see also somewhere halfway our servlets wiki page.
  3. Make sure that you don't have any servlet container specific libraries like servlet-api.jar or j2ee.jar in /WEB-INF/lib or even worse, the JRE/lib or JRE/lib/ext. They do not belong there. This is a pretty common beginner's mistake in an attempt to circumvent compilation errors in an IDE, see also How do I import the javax.servlet API in my Eclipse project?.

Curl: Fix CURL (51) SSL error: no alternative certificate subject name matches

Editor's note: this is a very dangerous approach, if you are using a version of PHP old enough to use it. It opens your code to man-in-the-middle attacks and removes one of the primary purposes of an encrypted connection. The ability to do this has been removed from modern versions of PHP because it is so dangerous. The only reason this has been upvoted 70 time is because people are lazy. DO NOT DO THIS.


I know it's a (very) old question and it's about command line, but when I searched Google for "SSL: no alternative certificate subject name matches target host name", this was the first hit.

It took me a good while to figure out the answer so hope this saves someone a lot of time! In PHP add this to your cUrl setopts:

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, FALSE);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);

p.s: this should be a temporary solution. Since this is a certificate error, best thing is to have the certificate fixed ofcourse!

C++ getters/setters coding style

Collected ideas from multiple C++ sources and put it into a nice, still quite simple example for getters/setters in C++:

class Canvas { public:
    void resize() {
        cout << "resize to " << width << " " << height << endl;
    }

    Canvas(int w, int h) : width(*this), height(*this) {
        cout << "new canvas " << w << " " << h << endl;
        width.value = w;
        height.value = h;
    }

    class Width { public:
        Canvas& canvas;
        int value;
        Width(Canvas& canvas): canvas(canvas) {}
        int & operator = (const int &i) {
            value = i;
            canvas.resize();
            return value;
        }
        operator int () const {
            return value;
        }
    } width;

    class Height { public:
        Canvas& canvas;
        int value;
        Height(Canvas& canvas): canvas(canvas) {}
        int & operator = (const int &i) {
            value = i;
            canvas.resize();
            return value;
        }
        operator int () const {
            return value;
        }
    } height;
};

int main() {
    Canvas canvas(256, 256);
    canvas.width = 128;
    canvas.height = 64;
}

Output:

new canvas 256 256
resize to 128 256
resize to 128 64

Creating dummy variables in pandas for python

For my case, dmatrices in patsy solved my problem. Actually, this function is designed for the generation of dependent and independent variables from a given DataFrame with an R-style formula string. But it can be used for the generation of dummy features from the categorical features. All you need to do would be drop the column 'Intercept' that is generated by dmatrices automatically regardless of your original DataFrame.

import pandas as pd
from patsy import dmatrices

df_original = pd.DataFrame({
   'A': ['red', 'green', 'red', 'green'],
   'B': ['car', 'car', 'truck', 'truck'],
   'C': [10,11,12,13],
   'D': ['alice', 'bob', 'charlie', 'alice']},
   index=[0, 1, 2, 3])

_, df_dummyfied = dmatrices('A ~ A + B + C + D', data=df_original, return_type='dataframe')
df_dummyfied = df_dummyfied.drop('Intercept', axis=1)

df_dummyfied.columns    
Index([u'A[T.red]', u'B[T.truck]', u'D[T.bob]', u'D[T.charlie]', u'C'], dtype='object')

df_dummyfied
   A[T.red]  B[T.truck]  D[T.bob]  D[T.charlie]     C
0       1.0         0.0       0.0           0.0  10.0
1       0.0         0.0       1.0           0.0  11.0
2       1.0         1.0       0.0           1.0  12.0
3       0.0         1.0       0.0           0.0  13.0

Simulating a click in jQuery/JavaScript on a link

You can use the the click function to trigger the click event on the selected element.

Example:

$( 'selector for your link' ).click ();

You can learn about various selectors in jQuery's documentation.

EDIT: like the commenters below have said; this only works on events attached with jQuery, inline or in the style of "element.onclick". It does not work with addEventListener, and it will not follow the link if no event handlers are defined. You could solve this with something like this:

var linkEl = $( 'link selector' );
if ( linkEl.attr ( 'onclick' ) === undefined ) {
    document.location = linkEl.attr ( 'href' );
} else {
    linkEl.click ();
}

Don't know about addEventListener though.

How to fast get Hardware-ID in C#?

The following approach was inspired by this answer to a related (more general) question.

The approach is to read the MachineGuid value in registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography. This value is generated during OS installation.

There are few ways around the uniqueness of the Hardware-ID per machine using this approach. One method is editing the registry value, but this would cause complications on the user's machine afterwards. Another method is to clone a drive image which would copy the MachineGuid value.

However, no approach is hack-proof and this will certainly be good enough for normal users. On the plus side, this approach is quick performance-wise and simple to implement.

public string GetMachineGuid()
{
   string location = @"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography";
   string name = "MachineGuid";

   using (RegistryKey localMachineX64View = 
       RegistryKey.OpenBaseKey(RegistryHive.LocalMachine, RegistryView.Registry64))
   {
       using (RegistryKey rk = localMachineX64View.OpenSubKey(location))
       {
           if (rk == null)
               throw new KeyNotFoundException(
                   string.Format("Key Not Found: {0}", location));

           object machineGuid = rk.GetValue(name);
           if (machineGuid == null)
               throw new IndexOutOfRangeException(
                   string.Format("Index Not Found: {0}", name));

           return machineGuid.ToString();
       }
   }
}

How can I sort generic list DESC and ASC?

I was checking all the answer above and wanted to add one more additional information. I wanted to sort the list in DESC order and I was searching for the solution which is faster for bigger inputs and I was using this method earlier :-

li.Sort();
li.Reverse();

but my test cases were failing for exceeding time limits, so below solution worked for me:-

li.Sort((a, b) => b.CompareTo(a));

So Ultimately the conclusion is that 2nd way of Sorting list in Descending order is bit faster than the previous one.

Learning Ruby on Rails

I've seen the infamous "Blog in 15 minutes" video ages ago when Rails was probably around version 1.0 or something like that. One of the most important things about the Ruby/Rails world is that given it's great community it's changing ridiculously fast in comparison to other frameworks.

Today, Rails is significantly different that what it used to be, altho the main ideology has been kept the same. Having said that event tho in the lsat few years I've learnt a lot of things about Rails I still keep learning new things about it.

The most valuable resources to me that help me discovering and keeping up with the latest ways of doing Ruby and Rails are the following:

  • Rails Guides - A nice way of learning Rails itself, edited by the community, moderated by the core contributors. The site has a lot to offer on most of the important main topics around Rails that it can get you up and running very quickly. It covers bot the most recent stable and edge versions of the framework.

  • If you understand the main ideology of Rails than I definitely recommend checking out (and subscribing to) Ryan Bates' Railscasts. Let me just quote from the site itself, I think it's pretty self explanatory:

    Every week Ryan Bates will host a new Railscasts episode featuring tips and tricks with Ruby on Rails. These screencasts are short and focus on one technique so you can quickly move on to applying it to your own project. The topics target the intermediate Rails developer, but beginners and experts will get something out of it as well.

  • There are also a lot of podcasts around Ruby/Rails, the two that I keep listening to are Ruby5 and the Ruby Show.

  • For more specific questions like API calls etc, I'd recommend APIDock's Rails and Ruby sections where you can get more information on specific methods.

  • If you are getting more familiar with the framework, it's worth taking a look at Rails Best Practices. There's a bunch of short articles on certain issues that most people make in the beginning of their learning curve with Rails. This site is meant to point pot these issues and help beginners finding their way towards writing better and more well thought out code. There's also a gem that you could use which scans your application and points out these issues and offers solutions/workarounds. Pretty neat!

These resources should help you in getting up and running with Rails. Good luck with your journey to the Rails world and welcome to the community.

require is not defined? Node.js

In the terminal, you are running the node application and it is running your script. That is a very different execution environment than directly running your script in the browser. While the Javascript language is largely the same (both V8 if you're running the Chrome browser), the rest of the execution environment such as libraries available are not the same.

node.js is a server-side Javascript execution environment that combines the V8 Javascript engine with a bunch of server-side libraries. require() is one such feature that node.js adds to the environment. So, when you run node in the terminal, you are running an environment that contains require().

require() is not a feature that is built into the browser. That is a specific feature of node.js, not of a browser. So, when you try to have the browser run your script, it does not have require().

There are ways to run some forms of node.js code in a browser (but not all). For example, you can get browser substitutes for require() that work similarly (though not identically).

But, you won't be running a web server in your browser as that is not something the browser has the capability to do.


You may be interested in browserify which lets you use node-style modules in a browser using require() statements.

How to get css background color on <tr> tag to span entire row

Try this:

    .rowhighlight > td { background: green;}

Create multiple threads and wait all of them to complete

In .NET 4.0, you can use the Task Parallel Library.

In earlier versions, you can create a list of Thread objects in a loop, calling Start on each one, and then make another loop and call Join on each one.

Function to get yesterday's date in Javascript in format DD/MM/YYYY

You override $today in the if statement.

if($dd<10){$dd='0'+dd} if($mm<10){$mm='0'+$mm} $today = $dd+'/'+$mm+'/'+$yyyy;

It is then not a Date() object anymore - hence the error.

Can I run HTML files directly from GitHub, instead of just viewing their source?

raw.github.com/user/repository is no longer there

To link, href to source code in github, you have to use github link to raw source this way:

raw.githubusercontent.com/user/repository/master/file.extension

EXAMPLE

<html>
...
...
<head>    
<script src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/amiahmadtouseef/tutorialhtmlfive/master/petdecider/script.js"></script>
...
</head>
<body>
...
</html>

Check status of one port on remote host

For scripting purposes, I've found that curl command can do it, for example:

$ curl -s localhost:80 >/dev/null && echo Connected. || echo Fail.
Connected.
$ curl -s localhost:123 >/dev/null && echo Connected. || echo Fail.
Fail.

Possibly it may not won't work for all services, as curl can return different error codes in some cases (as per comment), so adding the following condition could work in reliable way:

[ "$(curl -sm5 localhost:8080 >/dev/null; echo $?)" != 7 ] && echo OK || echo FAIL

Note: Added -m5 to set maximum connect timeout of 5 seconds.

If you would like to check also whether host is valid, you need to check for 6 exit code as well:

$ curl -m5 foo:123; [ $? != 6 -a $? != 7 ] && echo OK || echo FAIL
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: foo
FAIL

To troubleshoot the returned error code, simply run: curl host:port, e.g.:

$ curl localhost:80
curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 80: Connection refused

See: man curl for full list of exit codes.

Calculate difference between 2 date / times in Oracle SQL

If you select two dates from 'your_table' and want too see the result as a single column output (eg. 'days - hh:mm:ss') you could use something like this. First you could calculate the interval between these two dates and after that export all the data you need from that interval:

         select     extract (day from numtodsinterval (second_date
                                                   - add_months (created_date,
                                                                 floor (months_between (second_date,created_date))),
                                                   'day'))
             || ' days - '
             || extract (hour from numtodsinterval (second_date
                                                    - add_months (created_date,
                                                                  floor (months_between (second_date,created_date))),
                                                    'day'))
             || ':'
             || extract (minute from numtodsinterval (second_date
                                                      - add_months (created_date,
                                                                    floor (months_between (second_date, created_date))),
                                                      'day'))
             || ':'
             || extract (second from numtodsinterval (second_date
                                                      - add_months (created_date,
                                                                    floor (months_between (second_date, created_date))),
                                                      'day'))
     from    your_table

And that should give you result like this: 0 days - 1:14:55

What does "\r" do in the following script?

'\r' means 'carriage return' and it is similar to '\n' which means 'line break' or more commonly 'new line'

in the old days of typewriters, you would have to move the carriage that writes back to the start of the line, and move the line down in order to write onto the next line.

in the modern computer era we still have this functionality for multiple reasons. but mostly we use only '\n' and automatically assume that we want to start writing from the start of the line, since it would not make much sense otherwise.

however, there are some times when we want to use JUST the '\r' and that would be if i want to write something to an output, and the instead of going down to a new line and writing something else, i want to write something over what i already wrote, this is how many programs in linux or in windows command line are able to have 'progress' information that changes on the same line.

nowadays most systems use only the '\n' to denote a newline. but some systems use both together.

you can see examples of this given in some of the other answers, but the most common are:

  • windows ends lines with '\r\n'
  • mac ends lines with '\r'
  • unix/linux use '\n'

and some other programs also have specific uses for them.

sed whole word search and replace

In one of my machine, delimiting the word with "\b" (without the quotes) did not work. The solution was to use "\<" for starting delimiter and "\>" for ending delimiter.

To explain with Joakim Lundberg's example:

$ echo "bar embarassment" | sed "s/\<bar\>/no bar/g"
no bar embarassment

How do I format a date as ISO 8601 in moment.js?

If you just want the date portion (e.g. 2017-06-27), and you want it to work regardless of time zone and also in Arabic, here is code I wrote:

function isoDate(date) {
    if (!date) {
        return null
    }
    date = moment(date).toDate()

    // don't call toISOString because it takes the time zone into
    // account which we don't want.  Also don't call .format() because it
    // returns Arabic instead of English

    var month = 1 + date.getMonth()
    if (month < 10) {
        month = '0' + month
    }
    var day = date.getDate()
    if (day < 10) {
        day = '0' + day
    }
    return date.getFullYear() + '-' + month + '-' + day
}

How to set div's height in css and html

To write inline styling use:

<div style="height: 100px;">
asdfashdjkfhaskjdf
</div>

Inline styling serves a purpose however, it is not recommended in most situations.

The more "proper" solution, would be to make a separate CSS sheet, include it in your HTML document, and then use either an ID or a class to reference your div.

if you have the file structure:

index.html
>>/css/
>>/css/styles.css

Then in your HTML document between <head> and </head> write:

<link href="css/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" />

Then, change your div structure to be:

<div id="someidname" class="someclassname">
    asdfashdjkfhaskjdf
</div>

In css, you can reference your div from the ID or the CLASS.

To do so write:

.someclassname { height: 100px; }

OR

#someidname { height: 100px; }

Note that if you do both, the one that comes further down the file structure will be the one that actually works.

For example... If you have:

.someclassname { height: 100px; }

.someclassname { height: 150px; }

Then in this situation the height will be 150px.

EDIT:

To answer your secondary question from your edit, probably need overflow: hidden; or overflow: visible; . You could also do this:

<div class="span12">
    <div style="height:100px;">
        asdfashdjkfhaskjdf
    </div>
</div>

creating a new list with subset of list using index in python

Try new_list = a[0:2] + [a[4]] + a[6:].

Or more generally, something like this:

from itertools import chain
new_list = list(chain(a[0:2], [a[4]], a[6:]))

This works with other sequences as well, and is likely to be faster.

Or you could do this:

def chain_elements_or_slices(*elements_or_slices):
    new_list = []
    for i in elements_or_slices:
        if isinstance(i, list):
            new_list.extend(i)
        else:
            new_list.append(i)
    return new_list

new_list = chain_elements_or_slices(a[0:2], a[4], a[6:])

But beware, this would lead to problems if some of the elements in your list were themselves lists. To solve this, either use one of the previous solutions, or replace a[4] with a[4:5] (or more generally a[n] with a[n:n+1]).

How to make exe files from a node.js app?

I'm recommending you BoxedApp for that. It is a commercial product that working very well. It works for any NodeJS app. The end-user will get just one EXE file for your app. No need for installation.

In Electron, for example, the end user needs to install/uncompress your app, and he will see all the source files of your code.

BoxedApp It is packaging all the files and dependencies that your NodeJS app needs. It supports compressions, and the compiled file works on Windows XP+

When you use it, be sure to add Node.EXE to the compiled app. Choose a node version that supports Windows XP (If you need this)

The program supports command line arguments, So after package, you can do

c:\myApp argument1

And you can get the argument in your node code:

Sometimes your app has files dependencies, so in BoxedApp you can add any folder and file as a dependency, for example, you can insert a settings file.

var mySettings=require('fs').readFileSync('./settings.jgon').toString()

String escape into XML

Thanks to @sehe for the one-line escape:

var escaped = new System.Xml.Linq.XText(unescaped).ToString();

How can I scale an entire web page with CSS?

I have the following code that scales the entire page through CSS properties. The important thing is to set body.style.width to the inverse of the zoom to avoid horizontal scrolling. You must also set transform-origin to top left to keep the top left of the document at the top left of the window.

        var zoom = 1;
        var width = 100;

        function bigger() {
            zoom = zoom + 0.1;
            width = 100 / zoom;
            document.body.style.transformOrigin = "left top";
            document.body.style.transform = "scale(" + zoom + ")";
            document.body.style.width = width + "%";
        }
        function smaller() {
            zoom = zoom - 0.1;
            width = 100 / zoom;
            document.body.style.transformOrigin = "left top";
            document.body.style.transform = "scale(" + zoom + ")";
            document.body.style.width = width + "%";
        }

How to call javascript function from asp.net button click event

You're already prepending the hash sign in your showDialog() function, and you're missing single quotes in your second code snippet. You should also return false from the handler to prevent a postback from occurring. Try:

<asp:Button ID="ButtonAdd" runat="server" Text="Add"
    OnClientClick="showDialog('<%=addPerson.ClientID %>'); return false;" />

AngularJS : When to use service instead of factory

allernhwkim originally posted an answer on this question linking to his blog, however a moderator deleted it. It's the only post I've found which doesn't just tell you how to do the same thing with service, provider and factory, but also tells you what you can do with a provider that you can't with a factory, and with a factory that you can't with a service.

Directly from his blog:

app.service('CarService', function() {
   this.dealer="Bad";
    this.numCylinder = 4;
});

app.factory('CarFactory', function() {
    return function(numCylinder) {
      this.dealer="Bad";
        this.numCylinder = numCylinder
    };
});

app.provider('CarProvider', function() {
    this.dealerName = 'Bad';
    this.$get = function() {
        return function(numCylinder) {
            this.numCylinder = numCylinder;
            this.dealer = this.dealerName;
        }
    };
    this.setDealerName = function(str) {
      this.dealerName = str;
    }      
});

This shows how the CarService will always a produce a car with 4 cylinders, you can't change it for individual cars. Whereas CarFactory returns a function so you can do new CarFactory in your controller, passing in a number of cylinders specific to that car. You can't do new CarService because CarService is an object not a function.

The reason factories don't work like this:

app.factory('CarFactory', function(numCylinder) {
      this.dealer="Bad";
      this.numCylinder = numCylinder
});

And automatically return a function for you to instantiate, is because then you can't do this (add things to the prototype/etc):

app.factory('CarFactory', function() {
    function Car(numCylinder) {
        this.dealer="Bad";
        this.numCylinder = numCylinder
    };
    Car.prototype.breakCylinder = function() {
        this.numCylinder -= 1;
    };
    return Car;
});

See how it is literally a factory producing a car.

The conclusion from his blog is pretty good:

In conclusion,

---------------------------------------------------  
| Provider| Singleton| Instantiable | Configurable|
---------------------------------------------------  
| Factory | Yes      | Yes          | No          |
---------------------------------------------------  
| Service | Yes      | No           | No          |
---------------------------------------------------  
| Provider| Yes      | Yes          | Yes         |       
---------------------------------------------------  
  1. Use Service when you need just a simple object such as a Hash, for example {foo;1, bar:2} It’s easy to code, but you cannot instantiate it.

  2. Use Factory when you need to instantiate an object, i.e new Customer(), new Comment(), etc.

  3. Use Provider when you need to configure it. i.e. test url, QA url, production url.

If you find you're just returning an object in factory you should probably use service.

Don't do this:

app.factory('CarFactory', function() {
    return {
        numCylinder: 4
    };
});

Use service instead:

app.service('CarService', function() {
    this.numCylinder = 4;
});

How do I calculate the date six months from the current date using the datetime Python module?

Using Python standard libraries, i.e. without dateutil or others, and solving the 'February 31st' problem:

import datetime
import calendar

def add_months(date, months):
    months_count = date.month + months

    # Calculate the year
    year = date.year + int(months_count / 12)

    # Calculate the month
    month = (months_count % 12)
    if month == 0:
        month = 12

    # Calculate the day
    day = date.day
    last_day_of_month = calendar.monthrange(year, month)[1]
    if day > last_day_of_month:
        day = last_day_of_month

    new_date = datetime.date(year, month, day)
    return new_date

Testing:

>>>date = datetime.date(2018, 11, 30)

>>>print(date, add_months(date, 3))
(datetime.date(2018, 11, 30), datetime.date(2019, 2, 28))

>>>print(date, add_months(date, 14))
(datetime.date(2018, 12, 31), datetime.date(2020, 2, 29))

Nesting await in Parallel.ForEach

An extension method for this which makes use of SemaphoreSlim and also allows to set maximum degree of parallelism

    /// <summary>
    /// Concurrently Executes async actions for each item of <see cref="IEnumerable<typeparamref name="T"/>
    /// </summary>
    /// <typeparam name="T">Type of IEnumerable</typeparam>

    /// <param name="action">an async <see cref="Action" /> to execute</param>
    /// <param name="maxDegreeOfParallelism">Optional, An integer that represents the maximum degree of parallelism,
    /// Must be grater than 0</param>
    /// <returns>A Task representing an async operation</returns>
    /// <exception cref="ArgumentOutOfRangeException">If the maxActionsToRunInParallel is less than 1</exception>
    public static async Task ForEachAsyncConcurrent<T>(
        this IEnumerable<T> enumerable,
        Func<T, Task> action,
        int? maxDegreeOfParallelism = null)
    {
        if (maxDegreeOfParallelism.HasValue)
        {
            using (var semaphoreSlim = new SemaphoreSlim(
                maxDegreeOfParallelism.Value, maxDegreeOfParallelism.Value))
            {
                var tasksWithThrottler = new List<Task>();

                foreach (var item in enumerable)
                {
                    // Increment the number of currently running tasks and wait if they are more than limit.
                    await semaphoreSlim.WaitAsync();

                    tasksWithThrottler.Add(Task.Run(async () =>
                    {
                        await action(item).ContinueWith(res =>
                        {
                            // action is completed, so decrement the number of currently running tasks
                            semaphoreSlim.Release();
                        });
                    }));
                }

                // Wait for all tasks to complete.
                await Task.WhenAll(tasksWithThrottler.ToArray());
            }
        }
        else
        {
            await Task.WhenAll(enumerable.Select(item => action(item)));
        }
    }

Sample Usage:

await enumerable.ForEachAsyncConcurrent(
    async item =>
    {
        await SomeAsyncMethod(item);
    },
    5);

fatal: bad default revision 'HEAD'

This happens to me when the branch I'm working in gets deleted from the repository, but the workspace I'm in is not updated. (We have a tool that lets you create multiple git "workspaces" from the same repository using simlinks.)

If git branch does not mark any branch as current, try doing

git reset --hard <<some branch>>

I tried a number of approaches until I worked this one out.

Trouble setting up git with my GitHub Account error: could not lock config file

I have "experienced" this error on Windows because my name (and hence %HOMEPATH%) contains a non ascii character (é). Either git or cmd.exe or anything else could not cope with this.

OwinStartup not firing

I am not sure if this will still help someone, but I've done all of the solutions above (and from some other posts) to no avail.

What fixed the issue on my end was to put a backslash to the end of RedirectUri value in the web.config (crazy, I know!). RedirectUri is a parameter in UseOpenIdConnectAuthentication.

So, instead of:

<add key="ida:RedirectUri" value="https://www.bogussite.com/home" />

Do this:

<add key="ida:RedirectUri" value="https://www.bogussite.com/home/" />

And updated the Reply URL on the Azure App Settings as well.

That somehow made the Startup to run as expected (probably cleared some cache), and the breakpoints are now firing.

FYI. I was modelling my code from here: https://github.com/microsoftgraph/aspnet-connect-sample

How do I get the max ID with Linq to Entity?

The best way to get the id of the entity you added is like this:

public int InsertEntity(Entity factor)
{
    Db.Entities.Add(factor);
    Db.SaveChanges();
    var id = factor.id;
    return id;
}

How to select a radio button by default?

XHTML solution:

<input type="radio" name="imgsel" value="" checked="checked" />

Please note, that the actual value of checked attribute does not actually matter; it's just a convention to assign "checked". Most importantly, strings like "true" or "false" don't have any special meaning.

If you don't aim for XHTML conformance, you can simplify the code to:

<input type="radio" name="imgsel" value="" checked>

scp from remote host to local host

There must be a user in the AllowUsers section, in the config file /etc/ssh/ssh_config, in the remote machine. You might have to restart sshd after editing the config file.

And then you can copy for example the file "test.txt" from a remote host to the local host

scp [email protected]:test.txt /local/dir


@cool_cs you can user ~ symbol ~/Users/djorge/Desktop if it's your home dir.

In UNIX, absolute paths must start with '/'.

Calling async method on button click

This is what's killing you:

task.Wait();

That's blocking the UI thread until the task has completed - but the task is an async method which is going to try to get back to the UI thread after it "pauses" and awaits an async result. It can't do that, because you're blocking the UI thread...

There's nothing in your code which really looks like it needs to be on the UI thread anyway, but assuming you really do want it there, you should use:

private async void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs 
{
    Task<List<MyObject>> task = GetResponse<MyObject>("my url");
    var items = await task;
    // Presumably use items here
}

Or just:

private async void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs 
{
    var items = await GetResponse<MyObject>("my url");
    // Presumably use items here
}

Now instead of blocking until the task has completed, the Button_Click method will return after scheduling a continuation to fire when the task has completed. (That's how async/await works, basically.)

Note that I would also rename GetResponse to GetResponseAsync for clarity.

How to avoid Python/Pandas creating an index in a saved csv?

There are two ways to handle the situation where we do not want the index to be stored in csv file.

  1. As others have stated you can use index=False while saving your
    dataframe to csv file.

    df.to_csv('file_name.csv',index=False)

  2. Or you can save your dataframe as it is with an index, and while reading you just drop the column unnamed 0 containing your previous index.Simple!

    df.to_csv(' file_name.csv ')
    df_new = pd.read_csv('file_name.csv').drop(['unnamed 0'],axis=1)

count of entries in data frame in R

I think of this as a two-step process:

  1. subset the original data frame according to the filter supplied (Believe==FALSE); then

  2. get the row count of this subset

For the first step, the subset function is a good way to do this (just an alternative to ordinary index or bracket notation).

For the second step, i would use dim or nrow

One advantage of using subset: you don't have to parse the result it returns to get the result you need--just call nrow on it directly.

so in your case:

v = nrow(subset(Santa, Believe==FALSE))     # 'subset' returns a data.frame

or wrapped in an anonymous function:

>> fnx = function(fac, lev){nrow(subset(Santa, fac==lev))}

>> fnx(Believe, TRUE)
      3

Aside from nrow, dim will also do the job. This function returns the dimensions of a data frame (rows, cols) so you just need to supply the appropriate index to access the number of rows:

v = dim(subset(Santa, Believe==FALSE))[1] 

An answer to the OP posted before this one shows the use of a contingency table. I don't like that approach for the general problem as recited in the OP. Here's the reason. Granted, the general problem of how many rows in this data frame have value x in column C? can be answered using a contingency table as well as using a "filtering" scheme (as in my answer here). If you want row counts for all values for a given factor variable (column) then a contingency table (via calling table and passing in the column(s) of interest) is the most sensible solution; however, the OP asks for the count of a particular value in a factor variable, not counts across all values. Aside from the performance hit (might be big, might be trivial, just depends on the size of the data frame and the processing pipeline context in which this function resides). And of course once the result from the call to table is returned, you still have to parse from that result just the count that you want.

So that's why, to me, this is a filtering rather than a cross-tab problem.

Sticky and NON-Sticky sessions

When your website is served by only one web server, for each client-server pair, a session object is created and remains in the memory of the web server. All the requests from the client go to this web server and update this session object. If some data needs to be stored in the session object over the period of interaction, it is stored in this session object and stays there as long as the session exists.

However, if your website is served by multiple web servers which sit behind a load balancer, the load balancer decides which actual (physical) web-server should each request go to. For example, if there are 3 web servers A, B and C behind the load balancer, it is possible that www.mywebsite.com/index.jsp is served from server A, www.mywebsite.com/login.jsp is served from server B and www.mywebsite.com/accoutdetails.php are served from server C.

Now, if the requests are being served from (physically) 3 different servers, each server has created a session object for you and because these session objects sit on three independent boxes, there's no direct way of one knowing what is there in the session object of the other. In order to synchronize between these server sessions, you may have to write/read the session data into a layer which is common to all - like a DB. Now writing and reading data to/from a db for this use-case may not be a good idea. Now, here comes the role of sticky-session.

If the load balancer is instructed to use sticky sessions, all of your interactions will happen with the same physical server, even though other servers are present. Thus, your session object will be the same throughout your entire interaction with this website.

To summarize, In case of Sticky Sessions, all your requests will be directed to the same physical web server while in case of a non-sticky loadbalancer may choose any webserver to serve your requests.

As an example, you may read about Amazon's Elastic Load Balancer and sticky sessions here : http://aws.typepad.com/aws/2010/04/new-elastic-load-balancing-feature-sticky-sessions.html

Adding days to a date in Java

If you're using Joda-Time (and there are lots of good reasons to - a simple, intuitive API and thread-safety) then you can do this trivially:

(new LocalDate()).plusDays(5);

to give 5 days from today, for example.

EDIT: My current advice would be to now use the Java 8 date/time api

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '''')' at line 2

There is a single quote in $submitsubject or $submit_message

Why is this a problem?

The single quote char terminates the string in MySQL and everything past that is treated as a sql command. You REALLY don't want to write your sql like that. At best, your application will break intermittently (as you're observing) and at worst, you have just introduced a huge security vulnerability.

Imagine if someone submitted '); DROP TABLE private_messages; in submit message.

Your SQL Command would be:

INSERT INTO private_messages (to_id, from_id, time_sent, subject, message) 
        VALUES('sender_id', 'id', now(),'subjet','');

DROP TABLE private_messages;

Instead you need to properly sanitize your values.

AT A MINIMUM you must run each value through mysql_real_escape_string() but you should really be using prepared statements.

If you were using mysql_real_escape_string() your code would look like this:

if($_POST['submit_message']){

if($_POST['form_subject']==""){
    $submit_subject="(no subject)";
}else{
    $submit_subject=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['form_subject']); 
}
$submit_message=mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['form_message']);
$sender_id = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['sender_id']);

Here is a great article on prepared statements and PDO.

How can I set the maximum length of 6 and minimum length of 6 in a textbox?

You can use the HTML5 pattern attribute or use JavaScript.

The pattern could look for example like this:

<input id="groupidtext" type="text" pattern="(.){6,6}" style="width: 100px;" maxlength="6" />

But the pattern attribute will only work with HTML5 browsers. For old browsers you'll need JavaScript.

As suggested in the comments to add, this will only work as soon as a form is about to be submitted. If this input is not in a form and you need validation as a user types, use JavaScript.

Add Twitter Bootstrap icon to Input box

Bootstrap 4.x

With Bootstrap 4 (and Font Awesome), we still can use the input-group wrapper around our form-control element, and now we can use an input-group-append (or input-group-prepend) wrapper with an input-group-text to get the job done:

<div class="input-group mb-3">
  <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Search" aria-label="Search" aria-describedby="my-search">
  <div class="input-group-append">
    <span class="input-group-text" id="my-search"><i class="fas fa-filter"></i></span>
  </div>
</div>

It will look something like this (thanks to KyleMit for the screenshot):

This is a security update. If an attacker can modify some file in the web server (the JS one, for example), he can make every loaded pages to download another script (for example to keylog your password or steal your SessionID and send it to his own server).

To avoid it, the browser check the Same-origin policy

Your problem is that the browser is trying to load something with your script (with an Ajax request) that is on another domain (or subdomain). To avoid it (if it is on your own website) you can:

How to execute AngularJS controller function on page load?

I could never get $viewContentLoaded to work for me, and ng-init should really only be used in an ng-repeat (according to the documentation), and also calling a function directly in a controller can cause errors if the code relies on an element that hasn't been defined yet.

This is what I do and it works for me:

$scope.$on('$routeChangeSuccess', function () {
  // do something
});

Unless you're using ui-router. Then it's:

$scope.$on('$stateChangeSuccess', function () {
  // do something
});

How can I pass a username/password in the header to a SOAP WCF Service

There is probably a smarter way, but you can add the headers manually like this:

var client = new IdentityProofingService.IdentityProofingWSClient();

using (new OperationContextScope(client.InnerChannel))
{
    OperationContext.Current.OutgoingMessageHeaders.Add(
        new SecurityHeader("UsernameToken-49", "12345/userID", "password123"));
    client.invokeIdentityService(new IdentityProofingRequest());
}

Here, SecurityHeader is a custom implemented class, which needs a few other classes since I chose to use attributes to configure the XML serialization:

public class SecurityHeader : MessageHeader
{
    private readonly UsernameToken _usernameToken;

    public SecurityHeader(string id, string username, string password)
    {
        _usernameToken = new UsernameToken(id, username, password);
    }

    public override string Name
    {
        get { return "Security"; }
    }

    public override string Namespace
    {
        get { return "http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd"; }
    }

    protected override void OnWriteHeaderContents(XmlDictionaryWriter writer, MessageVersion messageVersion)
    {
        XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(UsernameToken));
        serializer.Serialize(writer, _usernameToken);
    }
}


[XmlRoot(Namespace = "http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd")]
public class UsernameToken
{
    public UsernameToken()
    {
    }

    public UsernameToken(string id, string username, string password)
    {
        Id = id;
        Username = username;
        Password = new Password() {Value = password};
    }

    [XmlAttribute(Namespace = "http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-utility-1.0.xsd")]
    public string Id { get; set; }

    [XmlElement]
    public string Username { get; set; }

    [XmlElement]
    public Password Password { get; set; }
}

public class Password
{
    public Password()
    {
        Type = "http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-username-token-profile-1.0#PasswordText";
    }

    [XmlAttribute]
    public string Type { get; set; }

    [XmlText]
    public string Value { get; set; }
}

I have not added the Nonce bit to the UsernameToken XML, but it is very similar to the Password one. The Created element also needs to be added still, but it's a simple [XmlElement].

Instantly detect client disconnection from server socket

This worked for me, the key is you need a separate thread to analyze the socket state with polling. doing it in the same thread as the socket fails detection.

//open or receive a server socket - TODO your code here
socket = new Socket(....);

//enable the keep alive so we can detect closure
socket.SetSocketOption(SocketOptionLevel.Socket, SocketOptionName.KeepAlive, true);

//create a thread that checks every 5 seconds if the socket is still connected. TODO add your thread starting code

Sending commands and strings to Terminal.app with Applescript

I could be mistaken, but I think Applescript Terminal integration is a one-shot deal...That is, each do script call is like opening a different terminal window, so I don't think you can interact with it at all.

You could copy over the SSH public keys to prevent the password prompt, then execute all the commands joined together (warning: the following is totally untested):

tell application "Terminal"
    activate
    do script "ssh [email protected] '/home/jdoe/dosomestuff.sh && /home/jdoe/dosomemorestuff.sh'"
end tell

Alternatively, you could wrap the ssh and subsequent commands in a shell script using Expect, and then call said shell script from your Applescript.

How can I generate a 6 digit unique number?

In PHP 7.0+ I would suggest random_int($min, $max) over mt_rand().

$randomSixDigitInt = \random_int(100000, 999999);

From php.net:

Caution This function does not generate cryptographically secure values, and should not be used for cryptographic purposes. If you need a cryptographically secure value, consider using random_int(), random_bytes(), or openssl_random_pseudo_bytes() instead.

So this depends mostly on context. I'll also add that as of PHP 7.1.0 rand() is now an alias to mt_rand().

Cheers

Passing properties by reference in C#

To vote on this issue, here is one active suggestion of how this could be added to the language. I'm not saying this is the best way to do this (at all), feel free to put out your own suggestion. But allowing properties to be passed by ref like Visual Basic already can do would hugely help simplify some code, and quite often!

Finding diff between current and last version

Quick and simple, assuming you're in the master:

    git diff (checkout_id):file.txt file.txt

Example:

    git diff asdfioei91819280din198:file.txt file.txt

Can't check signature: public key not found

You get that error because you don't have the public key of the person who signed the message.

gpg should have given you a message containing the ID of the key that was used to sign it. Obtain the public key from the person who encrypted the file and import it into your keyring (gpg2 --import key.asc); you should be able to verify the signature after that.

If the sender submitted its public key to a keyserver (for instance, https://pgp.mit.edu/), then you may be able to import the key directly from the keyserver:

gpg2 --keyserver https://pgp.mit.edu/ --search-keys <sender_name_or_address>

Android: Creating a Circular TextView?

This my actually working solution

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="oval"
    >
    <!-- The fill color -->
    <solid android:color="#ffff" />
    <!-- Just to add a border -->
    <stroke
        android:color="#8000"
        android:width="2dp"
    />
</shape>

Make sure your TextView width and height match (be the same in dp), if you want a perfect (unstretched) circle.

Make sure that the text fits into a circle, by either shortening your text OR enlarging your circle OR making your text size smaller OR reduce your padding/s, if any. OR a combination of the above suggestions.

[EDIT]

For what I can see in your pictures, you want to add too much text on a line, for pure circles.
Consider that the text should have a square aspect, so you can either wrap it (use \n) or just put the numbers inside the circles and put the writings above or uder the corresponding circle.

Edit a commit message in SourceTree Windows (already pushed to remote)

On Version 1.9.6.1. For UnPushed commit.

  1. Click on previously committed description
  2. Click Commit icon
  3. Enter new commit message, and choose "Ammend latest commit" from the Commit options dropdown.
  4. Commit your message.

Count the occurrences of DISTINCT values

I have resolved the same problem using the below code:

String query = "SELECT violationDate, COUNT(*) as date " +
            "FROM challan " +
            "WHERE challanType = '" + type + "' GROUP BY violationDate";
    

Here violationDate and date are two columns of the result table. date column will return occurrence.

How do I compare two variables containing strings in JavaScript?

I used below function to compare two strings and It is working good.

function CompareUserId (first, second)
{

   var regex = new RegExp('^' + first+ '$', 'i');
   if (regex.test(second)) 
   {
        return true;
   }
   else 
   {
        return false;
   }
   return false;
}

Calling Objective-C method from C++ member function?

The easiest solution is to simply tell Xcode to compile everything as Objective C++.

Set your project or target settings for Compile Sources As to Objective C++ and recompile.

Then you can use C++ or Objective C everywhere, for example:

void CPPObject::Function( ObjectiveCObject* context, NSView* view )
{
   [context renderbufferStorage:GL_RENDERBUFFER fromDrawable:(CAEAGLLayer*)view.layer]
}

This has the same affect as renaming all your source files from .cpp or .m to .mm.

There are two minor downsides to this: clang cannot analyse C++ source code; some relatively weird C code does not compile under C++.

Get the number of rows in a HTML table

Well it depends on what you have in your table.

its one of the following If you have only one table

var count = $('#gvPerformanceResult tr').length;

If you are concerned about sub tables but this wont work with tbody and thead (if you use them)

var count = $('#gvPerformanceResult>tr').length;

Where by this will work (but is quite frankly overkill.)

var count = $('#gvPerformanceResult>tbody>tr').length;

How to hide 'Back' button on navigation bar on iPhone?

In the function viewDidLoad of the UIViewController use the code:

self.navigationItem.hidesBackButton = YES;

How can I put a database under git (version control)?

You can't do it without atomicity, and you can't get atomicity without either using pg_dump or a snapshotting filesystem.

My postgres instance is on zfs, which I snapshot occasionally. It's approximately instant and consistent.

Whew. That was a lot for a "sample" but I feel it really drives home the effect and point: we can certainly select a label for a checked input control without it being a sibling. The secret lies in keeping the input tags a child to only what they need to be (in this case - only the body element).

Since the label element doesn't actually utilize the :checked pseudo selector, it doesn't matter that the labels are stored in the header. It does have the added benefit that since the header is a sibling element we can use the ~ generic sibling selector to move from the input[type=radio]:checked DOM element to the header container and then use descendant/child selectors to access the labels themselves, allowing the ability to style them when their respective radio boxes/checkboxes are selected.

Not only can we style the labels, but also style other content that may be descendants of a sibling container relative to all of the inputs. And now for the moment you've all been waiting for, the JSFIDDLE! Go there, play with it, make it work for you, find out why it works, break it, do what you do!

Hopefully that all makes sense and fully answers the question and possibly any follow ups that may crop up.

How do I unset an element in an array in javascript?

Don't use delete as it won't remove an element from an array it will only set it as undefined, which will then not be reflected correctly in the length of the array.

If you know the key you should use splice i.e.

myArray.splice(key, 1);

For someone in Steven's position you can try something like this:

for (var key in myArray) {
    if (key == 'bar') {
        myArray.splice(key, 1);
    }
}

or

for (var key in myArray) {
    if (myArray[key] == 'bar') {
        myArray.splice(key, 1);
    }
}

#1025 - Error on rename of './database/#sql-2e0f_1254ba7' to './database/table' (errno: 150)

There is probably another table with a foreign key referencing the primary key you are trying to change.

To find out which table caused the error you can run SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS and then look at the LATEST FOREIGN KEY ERROR section.

how to show confirmation alert with three buttons 'Yes' 'No' and 'Cancel' as it shows in MS Word

If you don't want to use a separate JS library to create a custom control for that, you could use two confirm dialogs to do the checks:

if (confirm("Are you sure you want to quit?") ) {
    if (confirm("Save your work before leaving?") ) {
        // code here for save then leave (Yes)
    } else {
        //code here for no save but leave (No)
    }
} else {
    //code here for don't leave (Cancel)
}

How to get a dependency tree for an artifact?

If you bother creating a sample project and adding your 3rd party dependency to that, then you can run the following in order to see the full hierarchy of the dependencies.

You can search for a specific artifact using this maven command:

mvn dependency:tree -Dverbose -Dincludes=[groupId]:[artifactId]:[type]:[version]

According to the documentation:

where each pattern segment is optional and supports full and partial * wildcards. An empty pattern segment is treated as an implicit wildcard.

Imagine you are trying to find 'log4j-1.2-api' jar file among different modules of your project:

mvn dependency:tree -Dverbose -Dincludes=org.apache.logging.log4j:log4j-1.2-api

more information can be found here.

Edit: Please note that despite the advantages of using verbose parameter, it might not be so accurate in some conditions. Because it uses Maven 2 algorithm and may give wrong results when used with Maven 3.

How to move a marker in Google Maps API

moveBus() is getting called before initialize(). Try putting that line at the end of your initialize() function. Also Lat/Lon 0,0 is off the map (it's coordinates, not pixels), so you can't see it when it moves. Try 54,54. If you want the center of the map to move to the new location, use panTo().

Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/ThinkingStiff/Rsp22/

HTML:

<script src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script>
<div id="map-canvas"></div>

CSS:

#map-canvas

width: 500px;
}

Script:

function initialize() {

    var myLatLng = new google.maps.LatLng( 50, 50 ),
        myOptions = {
            zoom: 4,
            center: myLatLng,
            mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
            },
        map = new google.maps.Map( document.getElementById( 'map-canvas' ), myOptions ),
        marker = new google.maps.Marker( {position: myLatLng, map: map} );

    marker.setMap( map );
    moveBus( map, marker );

}

What is the difference between display: inline and display: inline-block?

splattne's answer probably covered most of everything so I won't repeat the same thing, but: inline and inline-block behave differently with the direction CSS property.

Within the next snippet you see one two (in order) is rendered, like it does in LTR layouts. I suspect the browser here auto-detected the English part as LTR text and rendered it from left to right.

_x000D_
_x000D_
body {_x000D_
  text-align: right;_x000D_
  direction: rtl;_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
h2 {_x000D_
  display: block; /* just being explicit */_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
span {_x000D_
  display: inline;_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<h2>_x000D_
  ??? ????? ????_x000D_
  <span>one</span>_x000D_
  <span>two</span>_x000D_
</h2>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

However, if I go ahead and set display to inline-block, the browser appears to respect the direction property and render the elements from right to left in order, so that two one is rendered.

_x000D_
_x000D_
body {_x000D_
  text-align: right;_x000D_
  direction: rtl;_x000D_
}_x000D_

  display: block; /* just being explicit */_x000D_

How to write hello world in assembler under Windows?

Unless you call some function this is not at all trivial. (And, seriously, there's no real difference in complexity between calling printf and calling a win32 api function.)

Even DOS int 21h is really just a function call, even if its a different API.

If you want to do it without help you need to talk to your video hardware directly, likely writing bitmaps of the letters of "Hello world" into a framebuffer. Even then the video card is doing the work of translating those memory values into DisplayPort/HDMI/DVI/VGA signals.

Note that, really, none of this stuff all the way down to the hardware is any more interesting in ASM than in C. A "hello world" program boils down to a function call. One nice thing about ASM is that you can use any ABI you want fairly easily; you just need to know what that ABI is.

BasicHttpBinding vs WsHttpBinding vs WebHttpBinding

You're comparing apples to oranges here:

  • webHttpBinding is the REST-style binding, where you basically just hit a URL and get back a truckload of XML or JSON from the web service

  • basicHttpBinding and wsHttpBinding are two SOAP-based bindings which is quite different from REST. SOAP has the advantage of having WSDL and XSD to describe the service, its methods, and the data being passed around in great detail (REST doesn't have anything like that - yet). On the other hand, you can't just browse to a wsHttpBinding endpoint with your browser and look at XML - you have to use a SOAP client, e.g. the WcfTestClient or your own app.

So your first decision must be: REST vs. SOAP (or you can expose both types of endpoints from your service - that's possible, too).

Then, between basicHttpBinding and wsHttpBinding, there differences are as follows:

  • basicHttpBinding is the very basic binding - SOAP 1.1, not much in terms of security, not much else in terms of features - but compatible to just about any SOAP client out there --> great for interoperability, weak on features and security

  • wsHttpBinding is the full-blown binding, which supports a ton of WS-* features and standards - it has lots more security features, you can use sessionful connections, you can use reliable messaging, you can use transactional control - just a lot more stuff, but wsHttpBinding is also a lot *heavier" and adds a lot of overhead to your messages as they travel across the network

For an in-depth comparison (including a table and code examples) between the two check out this codeproject article: Differences between BasicHttpBinding and WsHttpBinding

Spring Boot: How can I set the logging level with application.properties?

If you are on Spring Boot then you can directly add following properties in application.properties file to set logging level, customize logging pattern and to store logs in the external file.

These are different logging levels and its order from minimum << maximum.

OFF << FATAL << ERROR << WARN << INFO << DEBUG << TRACE << ALL

# To set logs level as per your need.
logging.level.org.springframework = debug
logging.level.tech.hardik = trace

# To store logs to external file
# Here use strictly forward "/" slash for both Windows, Linux or any other os, otherwise, its won't work.      
logging.file=D:/spring_app_log_file.log

# To customize logging pattern.
logging.pattern.file= "%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss} - %msg%n"

Please pass through this link to customize your log more vividly.

jQuery Datepicker with text input that doesn't allow user input

You have two options to get this done. (As far as i know)

  1. Option A: Make your text field read only. It can be done as follows.

  2. Option B: Change the curser onfocus. Set ti to blur. it can be done by setting up the attribute onfocus="this.blur()" to your date picker text field.

Ex: <input type="text" name="currentDate" id="currentDate" onfocus="this.blur()" readonly/>

'uint32_t' does not name a type

I also encountered the same problem on Mac OSX 10.6.8 and unfortunately adding #include <stdint.h> or <cstdint.h> to the corresponding file did not solve my problem. However, after more search, I found this solution advicing to add #include <sys/types.h> which worked well for me!

The erf() function can be used to compute traditional statistical functions such as the cumulative standard normal distribution:

from math import *
def phi(x):
    #'Cumulative distribution function for the standard normal distribution'
    return (1.0 + erf(x / sqrt(2.0))) / 2.0

Ref:

https://docs.python.org/2/library/math.html

https://docs.python.org/3/library/math.html

How are the Error Function and Standard Normal distribution function related?

ASP.NET 4.5 has not been registered on the Web server

tl;dr; Clicking OK is the workaround, everything will work fine after that.

I also received this error message.

Configuring Web http://localhost:xxxxx/ for ASP.NET 4.5 failed. You must manually configure this site for ASP.NET 4.5 in order for the site to run correctly. ASP.NET 4.0 has not been registered on the Web server. You need to manually configure your Web server for ASP.NET 4.0 in order for your site to run correctly.

Environment: Windows 10, IIS8, VS 2012 Web.

After finding this page, along with several seemingly invasive solutions, I read through the hotfix option at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3002339/unexpected-dialog-box-appears-when-you-open-projects-in-visual-studio as suggested here.

Please avoid doing anything too drastic, and note the section of that page marked "Workaround" as shown below:

Workaround


To work around this issue, click OK when the dialog box appears after you either create a new project or open an existing Web Site Project or Windows Azure project. After you do this, the project works as expected.

In other words, click OK on the dialog box one time, and the message is gone forever. The project will work just fine.

How to fix Warning Illegal string offset in PHP

Please check that your key exists in the array or not, instead of simply trying to access it.

Replace:

$myVar = $someArray['someKey']

With something like:

if (isset($someArray['someKey'])) {
    $myVar = $someArray['someKey']
}

or something like:

if(is_array($someArray['someKey'])) {
    $theme_img = 'recent_works_iso_thumbnail';
}else {
    $theme_img = 'recent_works_iso_thumbnail';
}

How to directly move camera to current location in Google Maps Android API v2?

The above answer is not according to what Google Doc Referred for Location Tracking in Google api v2.

I just followed the official tutorial and ended up with this class that is fetching the current location and centring the map on it as soon as i get that.

you can extend this class to have LocationReciever to have periodic Location Update. I just executed this code on api level 7

Reference excel worksheet by name?

There are several options, including using the method you demonstrate, With, and using a variable.

My preference is option 4 below: Dim a variable of type Worksheet and store the worksheet and call the methods on the variable or pass it to functions, however any of the options work.

Sub Test()
  Dim SheetName As String
  Dim SearchText As String
  Dim FoundRange As Range

  SheetName = "test"      
  SearchText = "abc"

  ' 0. If you know the sheet is the ActiveSheet, you can use if directly.
  Set FoundRange = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Find(What:=SearchText)
  ' Since I usually have a lot of Subs/Functions, I don't use this method often.
  ' If I do, I store it in a variable to make it easy to change in the future or
  ' to pass to functions, e.g.: Set MySheet = ActiveSheet
  ' If your methods need to work with multiple worksheets at the same time, using
  ' ActiveSheet probably isn't a good idea and you should just specify the sheets.

  ' 1. Using Sheets or Worksheets (Least efficient if repeating or calling multiple times)
  Set FoundRange = Sheets(SheetName).UsedRange.Find(What:=SearchText)
  Set FoundRange = Worksheets(SheetName).UsedRange.Find(What:=SearchText)

  ' 2. Using Named Sheet, i.e. Sheet1 (if Worksheet is named "Sheet1"). The
  ' sheet names use the title/name of the worksheet, however the name must
  ' be a valid VBA identifier (no spaces or special characters. Use the Object
  ' Browser to find the sheet names if it isn't obvious. (More efficient than #1)
  Set FoundRange = Sheet1.UsedRange.Find(What:=SearchText)

  ' 3. Using "With" (more efficient than #1)
  With Sheets(SheetName)
    Set FoundRange = .UsedRange.Find(What:=SearchText)
  End With
  ' or possibly...
  With Sheets(SheetName).UsedRange
    Set FoundRange = .Find(What:=SearchText)
  End With

  ' 4. Using Worksheet variable (more efficient than 1)
  Dim MySheet As Worksheet
  Set MySheet = Worksheets(SheetName)
  Set FoundRange = MySheet.UsedRange.Find(What:=SearchText)

  ' Calling a Function/Sub
  Test2 Sheets(SheetName) ' Option 1
  Test2 Sheet1 ' Option 2
  Test2 MySheet ' Option 4

End Sub

Sub Test2(TestSheet As Worksheet)
    Dim RowIndex As Long
    For RowIndex = 1 To TestSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count
        If TestSheet.Cells(RowIndex, 1).Value = "SomeValue" Then
            ' Do something
        End If
    Next RowIndex
End Sub

Firebase FCM force onTokenRefresh() to be called

This is in RxJava2 in scenario when one user logout from your app and other users login (Same App) To regerate and call login (If user's device didn't have internet connection earlier at the time of activity start and we need to send token in login api )

Single.fromCallable(() -> FirebaseInstanceId.getInstance().getToken())
            .flatMap( token -> Retrofit.login(userName,password,token))
            .subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
            .observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
            .subscribe(simple -> {
                if(simple.isSuccess){
                    loginedSuccessfully();
                }
            }, throwable -> Utils.longToast(context, throwable.getLocalizedMessage()));

Login

@FormUrlEncoded
@POST(Site.LOGIN)
Single<ResponseSimple> login(@Field("username") String username,
                         @Field("password") String pass,
                         @Field("token") String token

How to import data from one sheet to another

VLookup

You can do it with a simple VLOOKUP formula. I've put the data in the same sheet, but you can also reference a different worksheet. For the price column just change the last value from 2 to 3, as you are referencing the third column of the matrix "A2:C4". VLOOKUP example

External Reference

To reference a cell of the same Workbook use the following pattern:

<Sheetname>!<Cell>

Example:

Table1!A1

To reference a cell of a different Workbook use this pattern:

[<Workbook_name>]<Sheetname>!<Cell>

Example:

[MyWorkbook]Table1!A1

   |

   | site. The mirror site will be the preferred server for that repository.

  <mirrors>
    <!-- mirror
     | Specifies a repository mirror site to use instead of a given repository.
     | The repository that this mirror serves has an ID that matches the
     | mirrorOf element of this mirror. IDs are used for inheritance and direct
     | lookup purposes, and must be unique across the set of mirrors.

Profiles (1/3):

  <!-- profiles
   | This is a list of profiles which can be activated in a variety of ways,
   | and which can modify the build process. Profiles provided in the
   | settings.xml are intended to provide local machine-specific paths and
   | repository locations which allow the build to work in the local
   | environment.
   |
   | For example, if you have an integration testing plugin - like cactus -
   | that needs to know where your Tomcat instance is installed, you can
   | provide a variable here such that the variable is dereferenced during the
   | build process to configure the cactus plugin.
   |
   | As noted above, profiles can be activated in a variety of ways. One
   | way - the activeProfiles section of this document (settings.xml) - will be
   | discussed later. Another way essentially relies on the detection of a
   | system property, either matching a particular value for the property, or
   | merely testing its existence. Profiles can also be activated by JDK
   | version prefix, where a value of '1.4' might activate a profile when the
   | build is executed on a JDK version of '1.4.2_07'. Finally, the list of
   | active profiles can be specified directly from the command line.
   |
   | NOTE: For profiles defined in the settings.xml, you are restricted to
   |       specifying only artifact repositories, plugin repositories, and
   |       free-form properties to be used as configuration variables for
   |       plugins in the POM.
   |
   |-->

Profiles (2/3):

  <profiles>
    <!-- profile
     | Specifies a set of introductions to the build process, to be activated
     | using one or more of the mechanisms described above. For inheritance
     | purposes, and to activate profiles via <activatedProfiles/> or the
     | command line, profiles have to have an ID that is unique.
     |
     | An encouraged best practice for profile identification is to use a
     | consistent naming convention for profiles, such as 'env-dev',
     | 'env-test', 'env-production', 'user-jdcasey', 'user-brett', etc. This
     | will make it more intuitive to understand what the set of introduced
     | profiles is attempting to accomplish, particularly when you only have a
     | list of profile id's for debug.
     |
     | This profile example uses the JDK version to trigger activation, and
     | provides a JDK-specific repo.
    <profile>
      <id>jdk-1.4</id>

      <activation>
        <jdk>1.4</jdk>
      </activation>

      <repositories>
        <repository>
          <id>jdk14</id>
          <name>Repository for JDK 1.4 builds</name>
          <url>http://www.myhost.com/maven/jdk14</url>
          <layout>default</layout>
          <snapshotPolicy>always</snapshotPolicy>
        </repository>
      </repositories>
    </profile>
    -->

Profiles (3/3):

    <!--
     | Here is another profile, activated by the system property 'target-env'
     | with a value of 'dev', which provides a specific path to the Tomcat
     | instance. To use this, your plugin configuration might hypothetically
     | look like:
     |
     | ...
     | <plugin>
     |   <groupId>org.myco.myplugins</groupId>
     |   <artifactId>myplugin</artifactId>

     |     <tomcatLocation>${tomcatPath}</tomcatLocation>
     |   </configuration>
     | </plugin>
     | ...

  <!-- profiles
   | This is a list of profiles which can be activated in a variety of ways,
   | and which can modify the build process. Profiles provided in the
   | settings.xml are intended to provide local machine-specific paths and
   | repository locations which allow the build to work in the local
   | environment.
   |
   | For example, if you have an integration testing plugin - like cactus -
   | that needs to know where your Tomcat instance is installed, you can
   | provide a variable here such that the variable is dereferenced during the
   | build process to configure the cactus plugin.
   |
   | As noted above, profiles can be activated in a variety of ways. One
   | way - the activeProfiles section of this document (settings.xml) - will be
   | discussed later. Another way essentially relies on the detection of a
   | system property, either matching a particular value for the property, or
   | merely testing its existence. Profiles can also be activated by JDK
   | version prefix, where a value of '1.4' might activate a profile when the
   | build is executed on a JDK version of '1.4.2_07'. Finally, the list of
   | active profiles can be specified directly from the command line.
   |
   | NOTE: For profiles defined in the settings.xml, you are restricted to
   |       specifying only artifact repositories, plugin repositories, and
   |       free-form properties to be used as configuration variables for
   |       plugins in the POM.
   |
   |-->

  <profiles>
    <!-- profile
     | Specifies a set of introductions to the build process, to be activated
     | using one or more of the mechanisms described above. For inheritance
     | purposes, and to activate profiles via <activatedProfiles/> or the
     | command line, profiles have to have an ID that is unique.
     |
     | An encouraged best practice for profile identification is to use a
     | consistent naming convention for profiles, such as 'env-dev',
     | 'env-test', 'env-production', 'user-jdcasey', 'user-brett', etc. This
     | will make it more intuitive to understand what the set of introduced
     | profiles is attempting to accomplish, particularly when you only have a
     | list of profile id's for debug.
     |
     | This profile example uses the JDK version to trigger activation, and
     | provides a JDK-specific repo.
    <profile>
      <id>jdk-1.4</id>

      <activation>
        <jdk>1.4</jdk>
      </activation>

    -->

    <!--
     | Here is another profile, activated by the system property 'target-env'
     | with a value of 'dev', which provides a specific path to the Tomcat

How do you find out the caller function in JavaScript?

It's safer to use *arguments.callee.caller since arguments.caller is deprecated...

How to print the ld(linker) search path

I'm not sure that there is any option for simply printing the full effective search path.

But: the search path consists of directories specified by -L options on the command line, followed by directories added to the search path by SEARCH_DIR("...") directives in the linker script(s). So you can work it out if you can see both of those, which you can do as follows:

If you're invoking ld directly:

  • The -L options are whatever you've said they are.
  • To see the linker script, add the --verbose option. Look for the SEARCH_DIR("...") directives, usually near the top of the output. (Note that these are not necessarily the same for every invocation of ld -- the linker has a number of different built-in default linker scripts, and chooses between them based on various other linker options.)

If you're linking via gcc:

  • You can pass the -v option to gcc so that it shows you how it invokes the linker. In fact, it normally does not invoke ld directly, but indirectly via a tool called collect2 (which lives in one of its internal directories), which in turn invokes ld. That will show you what -L options are being used.
  • You can add -Wl,--verbose to the gcc options to make it pass --verbose through to the linker, to see the linker script as described above.

How to use NSURLConnection to connect with SSL for an untrusted cert?

If you want to keep using sendSynchronousRequest i work in this solution:

FailCertificateDelegate *fcd=[[FailCertificateDelegate alloc] init];

NSURLConnection *c=[[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:request delegate:fcd startImmediately:NO];
[c setDelegateQueue:[[NSOperationQueue alloc] init]];
[c start];    
NSData *d=[fcd getData];

How to use CURL via a proxy?

Here is a working version with your bugs removed.

$url = 'http://dynupdate.no-ip.com/ip.php';
$proxy = '127.0.0.1:8888';
//$proxyauth = 'user:password';

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, $proxy);
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD, $proxyauth);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
$curl_scraped_page = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

echo $curl_scraped_page;

I have added CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD in case any of your proxies require a user name and password. I set CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER to 1, so that the data will be returned to $curl_scraped_page variable.

I removed a second extra curl_exec($ch); which would stop the variable being returned. I consolidated your proxy IP and port into one setting.

I also removed CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL and CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST as it was the default.

If you don't want the headers returned, comment out CURLOPT_HEADER.

To disable the proxy simply set it to null.

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, null);

Any questions feel free to ask, I work with cURL every day.

Android OnClickListener - identify a button

You will learn the way to do it, in an easy way, is:

public class Mtest extends Activity {
  Button b1;
  Button b2;
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    ...
    b1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.b1);
    b2 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.b2);
    b1.setOnClickListener(myhandler1);
    b2.setOnClickListener(myhandler2);
    ...
  }
  View.OnClickListener myhandler1 = new View.OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(View v) {
      // it was the 1st button
    }
  };
  View.OnClickListener myhandler2 = new View.OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(View v) {
      // it was the 2nd button
    }
  };
}

Or, if you are working with just one clicklistener, you can do:

View.OnClickListener myOnlyhandler = new View.OnClickListener() {
  public void onClick(View v) {
      switch(v.getId()) {
        case R.id.b1:
          // it was the first button
          break;
        case R.id.b2:
          // it was the second button
          break;
      }
  }
}

Though, I don't recommend doing it that way since you will have to add an if for each button you use. That's hard to maintain.

Set a thin border using .css() in javascript

I'd recommend using a class instead of setting css properties. So instead of this:

$(this).css({"border-color": "#C1E0FF", 
             "border-width":"1px", 
             "border-style":"solid"});

Define a css class:

.border 
{ 
  border-color: #C1E0FF; 
  border-width:1px; 
  border-style:solid; 
}

And then change your javascript to:

$(this).addClass("border");

Using JsonConvert.DeserializeObject to deserialize Json to a C# POCO class

That's not exactly what I had in mind. What do you do if you have a generic type to only be known at runtime?

public MyDTO toObject() {
  try {
    var methodInfo = MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod();
    if (methodInfo.DeclaringType != null) {
      var fullName = methodInfo.DeclaringType.FullName + "." + this.dtoName;
      Type type = Type.GetType(fullName);
      if (type != null) {
        var obj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(payload);
      //var obj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<type.MemberType.GetType()>(payload);  // <--- type ?????
          ...
      }
    }

    // Example for java..   Convert this to C#
    return JSONUtil.fromJSON(payload, Class.forName(dtoName, false, getClass().getClassLoader()));
  } catch (Exception ex) {
    throw new ReflectInsightException(MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().Name, ex);
  }
}

How do I iterate and modify Java Sets?

I don't like very much iterator's semantic, please consider this as an option. It's also safer as you publish less of your internal state

private Map<String, String> JSONtoMAP(String jsonString) {

    JSONObject json = new JSONObject(jsonString);
    Map<String, String> outMap = new HashMap<String, String>();

    for (String curKey : (Set<String>) json.keySet()) {
        outMap.put(curKey, json.getString(curKey));
    }

    return outMap;

}

data.map is not a function

There is an error on $.map() invocation, try this:

    function getData(data) {
        this.productID = data.product_id;
        this.productData = data.product_data;
        this.imageID = data.product_data.image_id;
        this.text = data.product_data.text;
        this.link = data.product_data.link;
        this.imageUrl = data.product_data.image_url;
    }

    $.getJSON("json.json?sdfsdfg").done(function (data) {

        var allPosts = $.map(data,function (item) {

            for (var i = 0; i < item.length; i++) {
                new getData(item[i]);
            };

        });

    }); 

The error in your code was that you made return in your AJAX call, so it executed only one time.

Split List into Sublists with LINQ

Using modular partitioning:

public IEnumerable<IEnumerable<string>> Split(IEnumerable<string> input, int chunkSize)
{
    var chunks = (int)Math.Ceiling((double)input.Count() / (double)chunkSize);
    return Enumerable.Range(0, chunks).Select(id => input.Where(s => s.GetHashCode() % chunks == id));
}

How does Content Security Policy (CSP) work?

The Content-Security-Policy meta-tag allows you to reduce the risk of XSS attacks by allowing you to define where resources can be loaded from, preventing browsers from loading data from any other locations. This makes it harder for an attacker to inject malicious code into your site.

I banged my head against a brick wall trying to figure out why I was getting CSP errors one after another, and there didn't seem to be any concise, clear instructions on just how does it work. So here's my attempt at explaining some points of CSP briefly, mostly concentrating on the things I found hard to solve.

For brevity I won’t write the full tag in each sample. Instead I'll only show the content property, so a sample that says content="default-src 'self'" means this:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="default-src 'self'">

1. How can I allow multiple sources?

You can simply list your sources after a directive as a space-separated list:

content="default-src 'self' https://example.com/js/"

Note that there are no quotes around parameters other than the special ones, like 'self'. Also, there's no colon (:) after the directive. Just the directive, then a space-separated list of parameters.

Everything below the specified parameters is implicitly allowed. That means that in the example above these would be valid sources:

https://example.com/js/file.js
https://example.com/js/subdir/anotherfile.js

These, however, would not be valid:

http://example.com/js/file.js
^^^^ wrong protocol

https://example.com/file.js
                   ^^ above the specified path

2. How can I use different directives? What do they each do?

The most common directives are:

  • default-src the default policy for loading javascript, images, CSS, fonts, AJAX requests, etc
  • script-src defines valid sources for javascript files
  • style-src defines valid sources for css files
  • img-src defines valid sources for images
  • connect-src defines valid targets for to XMLHttpRequest (AJAX), WebSockets or EventSource. If a connection attempt is made to a host that's not allowed here, the browser will emulate a 400 error

There are others, but these are the ones you're most likely to need.

3. How can I use multiple directives?

You define all your directives inside one meta-tag by terminating them with a semicolon (;):

content="default-src 'self' https://example.com/js/; style-src 'self'"

4. How can I handle ports?

Everything but the default ports needs to be allowed explicitly by adding the port number or an asterisk after the allowed domain:

content="default-src 'self' https://ajax.googleapis.com http://example.com:123/free/stuff/"

The above would result in:

https://ajax.googleapis.com:123
                           ^^^^ Not ok, wrong port

https://ajax.googleapis.com - OK

http://example.com/free/stuff/file.js
                 ^^ Not ok, only the port 123 is allowed

http://example.com:123/free/stuff/file.js - OK

As I mentioned, you can also use an asterisk to explicitly allow all ports:

content="default-src example.com:*"

5. How can I handle different protocols?

By default, only standard protocols are allowed. For example to allow WebSockets ws:// you will have to allow it explicitly:

content="default-src 'self'; connect-src ws:; style-src 'self'"
                                         ^^^ web Sockets are now allowed on all domains and ports.

6. How can I allow the file protocol file://?

If you'll try to define it as such it won’t work. Instead, you'll allow it with the filesystem parameter:

content="default-src filesystem"

7. How can I use inline scripts and style definitions?

Unless explicitly allowed, you can't use inline style definitions, code inside <script> tags or in tag properties like onclick. You allow them like so:

content="script-src 'unsafe-inline'; style-src 'unsafe-inline'"

You'll also have to explicitly allow inline, base64 encoded images:

content="img-src data:"

8. How can I allow eval()?

I'm sure many people would say that you don't, since 'eval is evil' and the most likely cause for the impending end of the world. Those people would be wrong. Sure, you can definitely punch major holes into your site's security with eval, but it has perfectly valid use cases. You just have to be smart about using it. You allow it like so:

content="script-src 'unsafe-eval'"

9. What exactly does 'self' mean?

You might take 'self' to mean localhost, local filesystem, or anything on the same host. It doesn't mean any of those. It means sources that have the same scheme (protocol), same host, and same port as the file the content policy is defined in. Serving your site over HTTP? No https for you then, unless you define it explicitly.

I've used 'self' in most examples as it usually makes sense to include it, but it's by no means mandatory. Leave it out if you don't need it.

But hang on a minute! Can't I just use content="default-src *" and be done with it?

No. In addition to the obvious security vulnerabilities, this also won’t work as you'd expect. Even though some docs claim it allows anything, that's not true. It doesn't allow inlining or evals, so to really, really make your site extra vulnerable, you would use this:

content="default-src * 'unsafe-inline' 'unsafe-eval'"

... but I trust you won’t.

How Long Does it Take to Learn Java for a Complete Newbie?

As others have mentioned, 10 weeks ought to be enough if you have a computer programming background.

Closer to 6-8 weeks, if you're Jeff Atwood.

          inet addr:10.0.2.15  Bcast:10.0.2.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

Go to Vbox instance window -> Menu -> Network adapters:

  • adapter should be NAT
  • click on "port forwarding"
  • insert new record (+ icon)
    • for host ip enter 127.0.0.1, and for guest ip address you got from prev. step (in my case it is 10.0.2.15)
    • in your case port is 8000 - put it on both, but you can change host port if you prefer

Go to host system and try it in browser:

http://127.0.0.1:8000

or your network ip address (find out on the host machine by running: ipconfig).

Network communication Guest -> Host

In this case port forwarding is not needed, the communication goes over the LAN back to the host.

On the host machine - find out your netw ip address:

ipconfig

example of result:

IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.5.1

On the guest machine you can communicate directly with the host, e.g. check it with ping:

# ping 192.168.5.1
PING 192.168.5.1 (192.168.5.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.5.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=128 time=2.30 ms
...

Firewall issues?

@Stranger suggested that in some cases it would be necessary to open used port (8000 or whichever is used) in firewall like this (example for ufw firewall, I haven't tested):

sudo ufw allow 8000

Generate GUID in MySQL for existing Data?

Just a minor addition to make as I ended up with a weird result when trying to modify the UUIDs as they were generated. I found the answer by Rakesh to be the simplest that worked well, except in cases where you want to strip the dashes.

For reference:

UPDATE some_table SET some_field=(SELECT uuid());

This worked perfectly on its own. But when I tried this:

UPDATE some_table SET some_field=(REPLACE((SELECT uuid()), '-', ''));

Then all the resulting values were the same (not subtly different - I quadruple checked with a GROUP BY some_field query). Doesn't matter how I situated the parentheses, the same thing happens.

UPDATE some_table SET some_field=(REPLACE(SELECT uuid(), '-', ''));

It seems when surrounding the subquery to generate a UUID with REPLACE, it only runs the UUID query once, which probably makes perfect sense as an optimization to much smarter developers than I, but it didn't to me.

To resolve this, I just split it into two queries:

UPDATE some_table SET some_field=(SELECT uuid());
UPDATE some_table SET some_field=REPLACE(some_field, '-', '');

Simple solution, obviously, but hopefully this will save someone the time that I just lost.

insert vertical divider line between two nested divs, not full height

Use a div for your divider. It will always be centered vertically regardless to whether left and right divs are equal in height. You can reuse it anywhere on your site.

.divider{
    position:absolute;
    left:50%;
    top:10%;
    bottom:10%;
    border-left:1px solid white;
}

Redis: Show database size/size for keys

Perhaps you can do some introspection on the db file. The protocol is relatively simple (yet not well documented), so you could write a parser for it to determine which individual keys are taking up a lot of space.

How do I float a div to the center?

if you are using width and height, you should try margin-right: 45%;... it is 100% working for me.. so i can take it to anywhere with percentage!

Pandas: rolling mean by time interval

This example seems to call for a weighted mean as suggested in @andyhayden's comment. For example, there are two polls on 10/25 and one each on 10/26 and 10/27. If you just resample and then take the mean, this effectively gives twice as much weighting to the polls on 10/26 and 10/27 compared to the ones on 10/25.

To give equal weight to each poll rather than equal weight to each day, you could do something like the following.

>>> wt = df.resample('D',limit=5).count()

            favorable  unfavorable  other
enddate                                  
2012-10-25          2            2      2
2012-10-26          1            1      1
2012-10-27          1            1      1

>>> df2 = df.resample('D').mean()

            favorable  unfavorable  other
enddate                                  
2012-10-25      0.495        0.485  0.025
2012-10-26      0.560        0.400  0.040
2012-10-27      0.510        0.470  0.020

That gives you the raw ingredients for doing a poll-based mean instead of a day-based mean. As before, the polls are averaged on 10/25, but the weight for 10/25 is also stored and is double the weight on 10/26 or 10/27 to reflect that two polls were taken on 10/25.

>>> df3 = df2 * wt
>>> df3 = df3.rolling(3,min_periods=1).sum()
>>> wt3 = wt.rolling(3,min_periods=1).sum()

>>> df3 = df3 / wt3

2012-11-07   0.510000     0.435000  0.010000

Note that the rolling mean for 10/27 is now 0.51500 (poll-weighted) rather than 52.1667 (day-weighted).

Also note that there have been changes to the APIs for resample and rolling as of version 0.18.0.

ValueError: all the input arrays must have same number of dimensions

(n,) and (n,1) are not the same shape. Try casting the vector to an array by using the [:, None] notation:

n_lists = np.append(n_list_converted, n_last[:, None], axis=1)

Alternatively, when extracting n_last you can use

n_last = n_list_converted[:, -1:]

to get a (20, 1) array.

How to Implement DOM Data Binding in JavaScript

I'd like to add to my preposter. I suggest a slightly different approach that will allow you to simply assign a new value to your object without using a method. It must be noted though that this is not supported by especially older browsers and IE9 still requires use of a different interface.

Most notably is that my approach does not make use of events.

Getters and Setters

My proposal makes use of the relatively young feature of getters and setters, particularly setters only. Generally speaking, mutators allow us to "customize" the behavior of how certain properties are assigned a value and retrieved.

One implementation I'll be using here is the Object.defineProperty method. It works in FireFox, GoogleChrome and - I think - IE9. Haven't tested other browsers, but since this is theory only...

Anyways, it accepts three parameters. The first parameter being the object that you wish to define a new property for, the second a string resembling the the name of the new property and the last a "descriptor object" providing information on the behavior of the new property.

Two particularly interesting descriptors are get and set. An example would look something like the following. Note that using these two prohibits the use of the other 4 descriptors.

function MyCtor( bindTo ) {
    // I'll omit parameter validation here.

    Object.defineProperty(this, 'value', {
        enumerable: true,
        get : function ( ) {
            return bindTo.value;
        },
        set : function ( val ) {
            bindTo.value = val;
        }
    });
}

Now making use of this becomes slightly different:

var obj = new MyCtor(document.getElementById('foo')),
    i = 0;
setInterval(function() {
    obj.value += ++i;
}, 3000);

I want to emphasize that this only works for modern browsers.

Trying to embed newline in a variable in bash

Summary

  1. Inserting \n

    p="${var1}\n${var2}"
    echo -e "${p}"
    
  2. Inserting a new line in the source code

    p="${var1}
    ${var2}"
    echo "${p}"
    
  3. Using $'\n' (only and )

    p="${var1}"$'\n'"${var2}"
    echo "${p}"
    

Details

1. Inserting \n

p="${var1}\n${var2}"
echo -e "${p}"

echo -e interprets the two characters "\n" as a new line.

var="a b c"
first_loop=true
for i in $var
do
   p="$p\n$i"            # Append
   unset first_loop
done
echo -e "$p"             # Use -e

Avoid extra leading newline

var="a b c"
first_loop=1
for i in $var
do
   (( $first_loop )) &&  # "((...))" is bash specific
   p="$i"            ||  # First -> Set
   p="$p\n$i"            # After -> Append
   unset first_loop
done
echo -e "$p"             # Use -e

Using a function

embed_newline()
{
   local p="$1"
   shift
   for i in "$@"
   do
      p="$p\n$i"         # Append
   done
   echo -e "$p"          # Use -e
}

var="a b c"
p=$( embed_newline $var )  # Do not use double quotes "$var"
echo "$p"

2. Inserting a new line in the source code

var="a b c"
for i in $var
do
   p="$p
$i"       # New line directly in the source code
done
echo "$p" # Double quotes required
          # But -e not required

Avoid extra leading newline

var="a b c"
first_loop=1
for i in $var
do
   (( $first_loop )) &&  # "((...))" is bash specific
   p="$i"            ||  # First -> Set
   p="$p
$i"                      # After -> Append
   unset first_loop
done
echo "$p"                # No need -e

Using a function

embed_newline()
{
   local p="$1"
   shift
   for i in "$@"
   do
      p="$p
$i"                      # Append
   done
   echo "$p"             # No need -e
}

var="a b c"
p=$( embed_newline $var )  # Do not use double quotes "$var"
echo "$p"

3. Using $'\n' (less portable)

and interprets $'\n' as a new line.

var="a b c"
for i in $var
do
   p="$p"$'\n'"$i"
done
echo "$p" # Double quotes required
          # But -e not required

Avoid extra leading newline

var="a b c"
first_loop=1
for i in $var
do
   (( $first_loop )) &&  # "((...))" is bash specific
   p="$i"            ||  # First -> Set
   p="$p"$'\n'"$i"       # After -> Append
   unset first_loop
done
echo "$p"                # No need -e

Using a function

embed_newline()
{
   local p="$1"
   shift
   for i in "$@"
   do
      p="$p"$'\n'"$i"    # Append
   done
   echo "$p"             # No need -e
}

var="a b c"
p=$( embed_newline $var )  # Do not use double quotes "$var"
echo "$p"

Output is the same for all

a
b
c

How to use http.client in Node.js if there is basic authorization

An easier solution is to use the user:pass@host format directly in the URL.

Using the request library:

var request = require('request'),
    username = "john",
    password = "1234",
    url = "http://" + username + ":" + password + "@www.example.com";

request(
    {
        url : url
    },
    function (error, response, body) {
        // Do more stuff with 'body' here
    }
);

I've written a little blogpost about this as well.

Why use @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")

Bundling is all about compressing several JavaScript or stylesheets files without any formatting (also referred as minified) into a single file for saving bandwith and number of requests to load a page.

As example you could create your own bundle:

bundles.Add(New ScriptBundle("~/bundles/mybundle").Include(
            "~/Resources/Core/Javascripts/jquery-1.7.1.min.js",
            "~/Resources/Core/Javascripts/jquery-ui-1.8.16.min.js",
            "~/Resources/Core/Javascripts/jquery.validate.min.js",
            "~/Resources/Core/Javascripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js",
            "~/Resources/Core/Javascripts/jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.min.js",
            "~/Resources/Core/Javascripts/jquery-ui-timepicker-addon.js"))

And render it like this:

@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/mybundle")

One more advantage of @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/mybundle") over the native <script src="~/bundles/mybundle" /> is that @Scripts.Render() will respect the web.config debug setting:

  <system.web>
    <compilation debug="true|false" />

If debug="true" then it will instead render individual script tags for each source script, without any minification.

For stylesheets you will have to use a StyleBundle and @Styles.Render().

Instead of loading each script or style with a single request (with script or link tags), all files are compressed into a single JavaScript or stylesheet file and loaded together.

how to make a specific text on TextView BOLD

You can add the two strings separately in the builder, one of them is spannedString, the other is a regular one.This way you don`t have to calculate the indexes.

val instructionPress = resources?.getString(R.string.settings_press)

val okText = resources?.getString(R.string.ok)
val spannableString = SpannableString(okText)

val spannableBuilder = SpannableStringBuilder()
spannableBuilder.append(instructionPress)
spannableBuilder.append(spannableString, StyleSpan(Typeface.BOLD), Spannable.SPAN_EXCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE)

instructionText.setText(spannableBuilder,TextView.BufferType.SPANNABLE)

How can I check whether a radio button is selected with JavaScript?

this is a utility function I've created to solve this problem

    //           <input type="radio" name="storageGroup" id="sessionStorage">
    //param-sGroupName: 'name' of the group. eg- "storageGroup"
    //return: 'id' of the checked radioButton. eg- "localStorage"
    //return: can be 'undefined'- be sure to check for that
    function checkedRadioBtn(sGroupName)
    {   
        var group = document.getElementsByName(sGroupName);

        for ( var i = 0; i < group.length; i++) {
            if (group.item(i).checked) {
                return group.item(i).id;
            } else if (group[0].type !== 'radio') {
                //if you find any in the group not a radio button return null
                return null;
            }

Determine number of pages in a PDF file

I've used the code above that solves the problem using regex and it works, but it's quite slow. It reads the entire file to determine the number of pages.

I used it in a web app and pages would sometimes list 20 or 30 PDFs at a time and in that circumstance the load time for the page went from a couple seconds to almost a minute due to the page counting method.

I don't know if the 3rd party libraries are much better, I would hope that they are and I've used pdflib in other scenarios with success.

How to solve PHP error 'Notice: Array to string conversion in...'

What the PHP Notice means and how to reproduce it:

If you send a PHP array into a function that expects a string like: echo or print, then the PHP interpreter will convert your array to the literal string Array, throw this Notice and keep going. For example:

php> print(array(1,2,3))

PHP Notice:  Array to string conversion in 
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/phpsh/phpsh.php(591) :
eval()'d code on line 1
Array

In this case, the function print dumps the literal string: Array to stdout and then logs the Notice to stderr and keeps going.

Another example in a PHP script:

<?php
    $stuff = array(1,2,3);
    print $stuff;  //PHP Notice:  Array to string conversion in yourfile on line 3
?>

Correction 1: use foreach loop to access array elements

http://php.net/foreach

$stuff = array(1,2,3);
foreach ($stuff as $value) {
    echo $value, "\n";
}

Prints:

1
2
3

Or along with array keys

$stuff = array('name' => 'Joe', 'email' => '[email protected]');
foreach ($stuff as $key => $value) {
    echo "$key: $value\n";
}

Prints:

name: Joe
email: [email protected]

Note that array elements could be arrays as well. In this case either use foreach again or access this inner array elements using array syntax, e.g. $row['name']

Correction 2: Joining all the cells in the array together:

In case it's just a plain 1-demensional array, you can simply join all the cells into a string using a delimiter:

<?php
    $stuff = array(1,2,3);
    print implode(", ", $stuff);    //prints 1, 2, 3
    print join(',', $stuff);        //prints 1,2,3

Correction 3: Stringify an array with complex structure:

In case your array has a complex structure but you need to convert it to a string anyway, then use http://php.net/json_encode

$stuff = array('name' => 'Joe', 'email' => '[email protected]');
print json_encode($stuff);

Prints

{"name":"Joe","email":"[email protected]"}

A quick peek into array structure: use the builtin php functions

If you want just to inspect the array contents for the debugging purpose, use one of the following functions. Keep in mind that var_dump is most informative of them and thus usually being preferred for the purpose

examples

$stuff = array(1,2,3);
print_r($stuff);
$stuff = array(3,4,5);
var_dump($stuff);

Prints:

Array
(
    [0] => 1
    [1] => 2
    [2] => 3
)
array(3) {
  [0]=>
  int(3)
  [1]=>
  int(4)
  [2]=>
  int(5)
}

c++ Read from .csv file

a csv-file is just like any other file a stream of characters. the getline reads from the file up to a delimiter however in your case the delimiter for the last item is not ' ' as you assume

getline(file, genero, ' ') ; 

it is newline \n

so change that line to

getline(file, genero); // \n is default delimiter

How do you do block comments in YAML?

An alternative approach:

If

  • your YAML structure has well defined fields to be used by your app
  • AND you may freely add additional fields that won't mess up with your app

then

  • at any level you may add a new block text field named like "Description" or "Comment" or "Notes" or whatever

Example:

Instead of

# This comment
# is too long

use

Description: >
  This comment
  is too long

Comment: >
    This comment is also too long
    and newlines survive from parsing!

More advantages:

  1. If the comments become large and complex and have a repeating pattern, you may promote them from plain text blocks to objects
  2. Your app may -in the future- read or update those comments

Auto height div with overflow and scroll when needed

Well, after long research, i found a workaround that does what i need: http://jsfiddle.net/CqB3d/25/

CSS:

body{
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    border: 0;
    overflow: hidden;
    height: 100%; 
    max-height: 100%; 
}

#caixa{
    width: 800px;
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
}
#framecontentTop, #framecontentBottom{
    position: absolute; 
    top: 0;   
    width: 800px; 
    height: 100px; /*Height of top frame div*/
    overflow: hidden; /*Disable scrollbars. Set to "scroll" to enable*/
    background-color: navy;
    color: white; 
}

#framecontentBottom{
    top: auto;
    bottom: 0; 
    height: 110px; /*Height of bottom frame div*/
    overflow: hidden; /*Disable scrollbars. Set to "scroll" to enable*/
    background-color: navy;
    color: white;
}

#maincontent{
    position: fixed; 
    top: 100px; /*Set top value to HeightOfTopFrameDiv*/
    margin-left:auto;
    margin-right: auto;
    bottom: 110px; /*Set bottom value to HeightOfBottomFrameDiv*/
    overflow: auto; 
    background: #fff;
    width: 800px;
}

.innertube{
    margin: 15px; /*Margins for inner DIV inside each DIV (to provide padding)*/
}

* html body{ /*IE6 hack*/
    padding: 130px 0 110px 0; /*Set value to (HeightOfTopFrameDiv 0 HeightOfBottomFrameDiv 0)*/
}

* html #maincontent{ /*IE6 hack*/
    height: 100%; 
    width: 800px; 
}

HTML:

<div id="framecontentBottom">
    <div class="innertube">
        <h3>Sample text here</h3>
    </div>
</div>
<div id="maincontent">
    <div class="innertube">
    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed scelerisque, ligula hendrerit euismod auctor, diam nunc sollicitudin nibh, id luctus eros nibh porta tellus. Phasellus sed suscipit dolor. Quisque at mi dolor, eu fermentum turpis. Nunc posuere venenatis est, in sagittis nulla consectetur eget... //much longer text...
    </div>
</div>

might not work with the horizontal thingy yet, but, it's a work in progress!

I basically dropped the "inception" boxes-inside-boxes-inside-boxes model and used fixed positioning with dynamic height and overflow properties.

Hope this might help whoever finds the question later!

EDIT: This is the final answer.

Making macOS Installer Packages which are Developer ID ready

Our example project has two build targets: HelloWorld.app and Helper.app. We make a component package for each and combine them into a product archive.

A component package contains payload to be installed by the OS X Installer. Although a component package can be installed on its own, it is typically incorporated into a product archive.

Our tools: pkgbuild, productbuild, and pkgutil

After a successful "Build and Archive" open $BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR in the Terminal.

$ cd ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/.../InstallationBuildProductsLocation
$ pkgbuild --analyze --root ./HelloWorld.app HelloWorldAppComponents.plist
$ pkgbuild --analyze --root ./Helper.app HelperAppComponents.plist

This give us the component-plist, you find the value description in the "Component Property List" section. pkgbuild -root generates the component packages, if you don't need to change any of the default properties you can omit the --component-plist parameter in the following command.

productbuild --synthesize results in a Distribution Definition.

$ pkgbuild --root ./HelloWorld.app \
    --component-plist HelloWorldAppComponents.plist \
    HelloWorld.pkg
$ pkgbuild --root ./Helper.app \
    --component-plist HelperAppComponents.plist \
    Helper.pkg
$ productbuild --synthesize \
    --package HelloWorld.pkg --package Helper.pkg \
    Distribution.xml 

In the Distribution.xml you can change things like title, background, welcome, readme, license, and so on. You turn your component packages and distribution definition with this command into a product archive:

$ productbuild --distribution ./Distribution.xml \
    --package-path . \
    ./Installer.pkg

I recommend to take a look at iTunes Installers Distribution.xml to see what is possible. You can extract "Install iTunes.pkg" with:

$ pkgutil --expand "Install iTunes.pkg" "Install iTunes"

Lets put it together

I usually have a folder named Package in my project which includes things like Distribution.xml, component-plists, resources and scripts.

Add a Run Script Build Phase named "Generate Package", which is set to Run script only when installing:

VERSION=$(defaults read "${BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR}/${FULL_PRODUCT_NAME}/Contents/Info" CFBundleVersion)

PACKAGE_NAME=`echo "$PRODUCT_NAME" | sed "s/ /_/g"`
TMP1_ARCHIVE="${BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR}/$PACKAGE_NAME-tmp1.pkg"
TMP2_ARCHIVE="${BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR}/$PACKAGE_NAME-tmp2"
TMP3_ARCHIVE="${BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR}/$PACKAGE_NAME-tmp3.pkg"
ARCHIVE_FILENAME="${BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR}/${PACKAGE_NAME}.pkg"

pkgbuild --root "${INSTALL_ROOT}" \
    --component-plist "./Package/HelloWorldAppComponents.plist" \
    --scripts "./Package/Scripts" \
    --identifier "com.test.pkg.HelloWorld" \
    --version "$VERSION" \
    --install-location "/" \
    "${BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR}/HelloWorld.pkg"
pkgbuild --root "${BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR}/Helper.app" \
    --component-plist "./Package/HelperAppComponents.plist" \
    --identifier "com.test.pkg.Helper" \
    --version "$VERSION" \
    --install-location "/" \
    "${BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR}/Helper.pkg"
productbuild --distribution "./Package/Distribution.xml"  \
    --package-path "${BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR}" \
    --resources "./Package/Resources" \
    "${TMP1_ARCHIVE}"

pkgutil --expand "${TMP1_ARCHIVE}" "${TMP2_ARCHIVE}"
    
# Patches and Workarounds

pkgutil --flatten "${TMP2_ARCHIVE}" "${TMP3_ARCHIVE}"

productsign --sign "Developer ID Installer: John Doe" \
    "${TMP3_ARCHIVE}" "${ARCHIVE_FILENAME}"

If you don't have to change the package after it's generated with productbuild you could get rid of the pkgutil --expand and pkgutil --flatten steps. Also you could use the --sign paramenter on productbuild instead of running productsign.

Sign an OS X Installer

Packages are signed with the Developer ID Installer certificate which you can download from Developer Certificate Utility.

They signing is done with the --sign "Developer ID Installer: John Doe" parameter of pkgbuild, productbuild or productsign.

Note that if you are going to create a signed product archive using productbuild, there is no reason to sign the component packages.

Developer Certificate Utility

All the way: Copy Package into Xcode Archive

To copy something into the Xcode Archive we can't use the Run Script Build Phase. For this we need to use a Scheme Action.

Edit Scheme and expand Archive. Then click post-actions and add a New Run Script Action:

In Xcode 6:

#!/bin/bash

PACKAGES="${ARCHIVE_PATH}/Packages"
  
PACKAGE_NAME=`echo "$PRODUCT_NAME" | sed "s/ /_/g"`
ARCHIVE_FILENAME="$PACKAGE_NAME.pkg"
PKG="${OBJROOT}/../BuildProductsPath/${CONFIGURATION}/${ARCHIVE_FILENAME}"

if [ -f "${PKG}" ]; then
    mkdir "${PACKAGES}"
    cp -r "${PKG}" "${PACKAGES}"
fi

In Xcode 5, use this value for PKG instead:

PKG="${OBJROOT}/ArchiveIntermediates/${TARGET_NAME}/BuildProductsPath/${CONFIGURATION}/${ARCHIVE_FILENAME}"

In case your version control doesn't store Xcode Scheme information I suggest to add this as shell script to your project so you can simple restore the action by dragging the script from the workspace into the post-action.

Scripting

There are two different kinds of scripting: JavaScript in Distribution Definition Files and Shell Scripts.

The best documentation about Shell Scripts I found in WhiteBox - PackageMaker How-to, but read this with caution because it refers to the old package format.

Apple Silicon

In order for the package to run as arm64, the Distribution file has to specify in its hostArchitectures section that it supports arm64 in addition to x86_64:

<options hostArchitectures="arm64,x86_64" />

Known Issues and Workarounds

Destination Select Pane

The user is presented with the destination select option with only a single choice - "Install for all users of this computer". The option appears visually selected, but the user needs to click on it in order to proceed with the installation, causing some confusion.

Example showing the installer bug

Apples Documentation recommends to use <domains enable_anywhere ... /> but this triggers the new more buggy Destination Select Pane which Apple doesn't use in any of their Packages.

Using the deprecate <options rootVolumeOnly="true" /> give you the old Destination Select Pane. Example showing old Destination Select Pane


You want to install items into the current user’s home folder.

Short answer: DO NOT TRY IT!

Long answer: REALLY; DO NOT TRY IT! Read Installer Problems and Solutions. You know what I did even after reading this? I was stupid enough to try it. Telling myself I'm sure that they fixed the issues in 10.7 or 10.8.

First of all I saw from time to time the above mentioned Destination Select Pane Bug. That should have stopped me, but I ignored it. If you don't want to spend the week after you released your software answering support e-mails that they have to click once the nice blue selection DO NOT use this.

You are now thinking that your users are smart enough to figure the panel out, aren't you? Well here is another thing about home folder installation, THEY DON'T WORK!

I tested it for two weeks on around 10 different machines with different OS versions and what not, and it never failed. So I shipped it. Within an hour of the release I heart back from users who just couldn't install it. The logs hinted to permission issues you are not gonna be able to fix.

So let's repeat it one more time: We do not use the Installer for home folder installations!


RTFD for Welcome, Read-me, License and Conclusion is not accepted by productbuild.

Installer supported since the beginning RTFD files to make pretty Welcome screens with images, but productbuild doesn't accept them.

Workarounds: Use a dummy rtf file and replace it in the package by after productbuild is done.

Note: You can also have Retina images inside the RTFD file. Use multi-image tiff files for this: tiffutil -cat Welcome.tif Welcome_2x.tif -out FinalWelcome.tif. More details.


Starting an application when the installation is done with a BundlePostInstallScriptPath script:

#!/bin/bash

LOGGED_IN_USER_ID=`id -u "${USER}"`

if [ "${COMMAND_LINE_INSTALL}" = "" ]
then
    /bin/launchctl asuser "${LOGGED_IN_USER_ID}" /usr/bin/open -g PATH_OR_BUNDLE_ID
fi

exit 0

It is important to run the app as logged in user, not as the installer user. This is done with launchctl asuser uid path. Also we only run it when it is not a command line installation, done with installer tool or Apple Remote Desktop.


MySQL select with CONCAT condition

Use CONCAT_WS().

SELECT CONCAT_WS(' ',firstname,lastname) as firstlast FROM users 
WHERE firstlast = "Bob Michael Jones";

The first argument is the separator for the rest of the arguments.

Draggable div without jQuery UI

here's another way of making a draggable object that is centered to the click

http://jsfiddle.net/pixelass/fDcZS/

function endMove() {
    $(this).removeClass('movable');
}

function startMove() {
    $('.movable').on('mousemove', function(event) {
        var thisX = event.pageX - $(this).width() / 2,
            thisY = event.pageY - $(this).height() / 2;

        $('.movable').offset({
            left: thisX,
            top: thisY
        });
    });
}
$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#containerDiv").on('mousedown', function() {
        $(this).addClass('movable');
        startMove();
    }).on('mouseup', function() {
        $(this).removeClass('movable');
        endMove();
    });

});

Instagram API - How can I retrieve the list of people a user is following on Instagram

You can use the following Instagram API Endpoint to get a list of people a user is following.

https://api.instagram.com/v1/users/{user-id}/follows?access_token=ACCESS-TOKEN

Here's the complete documentation for that endpoint. GET /users/user-id/follows

And here's a sample response from executing that endpoint. enter image description here

Since this endpoint required a user-id (and not user-name), depending on how you've written your API client, you might have to make a call to the /users/search endpoint with a username, and then get the user-id from the response and pass it on to the above /users/user-id/follows endpoint to get the list of followers.

IANAL, but considering it's documented in their API, and looking at the terms of use, I don't see how this wouldn't be legal to do.

HTTP client timeout and server timeout

go to the url about:config and paste each line:

network.http.keep-alive.timeout;10
network.http.connection-retry-timeout;10
network.http.pipelining.read-timeout;5
network.http.connection-timeout;10

How can I add a line to a file in a shell script?

This adds custom text at the beginning of your file:

echo 'your_custom_escaped_content' > temp_file.csv
cat testfile.csv >> temp_file.csv
mv temp_file.csv testfile.csv

The input is not a valid Base-64 string as it contains a non-base 64 character

Remove the unnecessary string through Regex

Regex regex=new Regex(@"^[\w/\:.-]+;base64,");
base64File=regex.Replace(base64File,string.Empty);

Regex to validate date format dd/mm/yyyy

For date MM/DD/YYYY you can use

^((((0[13578])|([13578])|(1[02]))[\/](([1-9])|([0-2][0-9])|(3[01])))|(((0[469])|([469])|(11))[\/](([1-9])|([0-2][0-9])|(30)))|((2|02)[\/](([1-9])|([0-2][0-9]))))[\/]\d{4}$|^\d{4}$

It verify proper days and moths.

Remeber that you can check your regular expression at

regex101

which i recommend :)

Have fun!

Python: TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'int' objects

c = a + b 
str(c)

Actually, in this last line you are not changing the type of the variable c. If you do

c_str=str(c)
print "a + b as integers: " + c_str

it should work.

How to delete a stash created with git stash create?

You should be using

git stash save

and not

git stash create

because this creates a stash (which is a regular commit object) and return its object name, without storing it anywhere in the ref namespace. Hence won't be accessible with stash apply.

Use git stash save "some comment" is used when you have unstaged changes you wanna replicate/move onto another branch

Use git stash apply stash@{0} (assuming your saved stash index is 0) when you want your saved(stashed) changes to reflect on your current branch

you can always use git stash list to check all you stash indexes

and use git stash drop stash@{0} (assuming your saved stash index is 0 and you wanna delete it) to delete a particular stash.

Create a temporary table in a SELECT statement without a separate CREATE TABLE

In addition to psparrow's answer if you need to add an index to your temporary table do:

CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE IF NOT EXISTS 
  temp_table ( INDEX(col_2) ) 
ENGINE=MyISAM 
AS (
  SELECT col_1, coll_2, coll_3
  FROM mytable
)

It also works with PRIMARY KEY

Getting json body in aws Lambda via API gateway

There are two different Lambda integrations you can configure in API Gateway, such as Lambda integration and Lambda proxy integration. For Lambda integration, you can customise what you are going to pass to Lambda in the payload that you don't need to parse the body, but when you are using Lambda Proxy integration in API Gateway, API Gateway will proxy everything to Lambda in payload like this,

{
    "message": "Hello me!",
    "input": {
        "path": "/test/hello",
        "headers": {

For the example you are referencing, it is not getting the body from the original request. It is constructing the response body back to API Gateway. It should be in this format,

{
    "statusCode": httpStatusCode,
    "headers": { "headerName": "headerValue", ... },
    "body": "...",
    "isBase64Encoded": false
}

Convert Xml to Table SQL Server

This is the answer, hope it helps someone :)

First there are two variations on how the xml can be written:

1

<row>
    <IdInvernadero>8</IdInvernadero>
    <IdProducto>3</IdProducto>
    <IdCaracteristica1>8</IdCaracteristica1>
    <IdCaracteristica2>8</IdCaracteristica2>
    <Cantidad>25</Cantidad>
    <Folio>4568457</Folio>
</row>
<row>
    <IdInvernadero>3</IdInvernadero>
    <IdProducto>3</IdProducto>
    <IdCaracteristica1>1</IdCaracteristica1>
    <IdCaracteristica2>2</IdCaracteristica2>
    <Cantidad>72</Cantidad>
    <Folio>4568457</Folio>
</row>

Answer:

SELECT  
       Tbl.Col.value('IdInvernadero[1]', 'smallint'),  
       Tbl.Col.value('IdProducto[1]', 'smallint'),  
       Tbl.Col.value('IdCaracteristica1[1]', 'smallint'),
       Tbl.Col.value('IdCaracteristica2[1]', 'smallint'),
       Tbl.Col.value('Cantidad[1]', 'int'),
       Tbl.Col.value('Folio[1]', 'varchar(7)')
FROM   @xml.nodes('//row') Tbl(Col)  

2.

<row IdInvernadero="8" IdProducto="3" IdCaracteristica1="8" IdCaracteristica2="8" Cantidad ="25" Folio="4568457" />                         
<row IdInvernadero="3" IdProducto="3" IdCaracteristica1="1" IdCaracteristica2="2" Cantidad ="72" Folio="4568457" />

Answer:

SELECT  
       Tbl.Col.value('@IdInvernadero', 'smallint'),  
       Tbl.Col.value('@IdProducto', 'smallint'),  
       Tbl.Col.value('@IdCaracteristica1', 'smallint'),
       Tbl.Col.value('@IdCaracteristica2', 'smallint'),
       Tbl.Col.value('@Cantidad', 'int'),
       Tbl.Col.value('@Folio', 'varchar(7)')

Passing parameters in Javascript onClick event

This happens because the i propagates up the scope once the function is invoked. You can avoid this issue using a closure.

for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
   var link = document.createElement('a');
   link.setAttribute('href', '#');
   link.innerHTML = i + '';
   link.onclick = (function() {
      var currentI = i;
      return function() { 
          onClickLink(currentI + '');
      }
   })();
   div.appendChild(link);
   div.appendChild(document.createElement('BR'));
}

Or if you want more concise syntax, I suggest you use Nick Craver's solution.

How to restart adb from root to user mode?

Try this to make sure you get your shell back:

enter adb shell (root). Then type below comamnd.

stop adbd && setprop service.adb.root 0 && start adbd &

This command will stop adbd, then setprop service.adb.root 0 if adbd has been successfully stopped, and finally restart adbd should the .root property have successfully been set to 0. And all this will be done in the background thanks to the last &.

Why am I getting "(304) Not Modified" error on some links when using HttpWebRequest?

This is intended behavior.

When you make an HTTP request, the server normally returns code 200 OK. If you set If-Modified-Since, the server may return 304 Not modified (and the response will not have the content). This is supposed to be your cue that the page has not been modified.

The authors of the class have foolishly decided that 304 should be treated as an error and throw an exception. Now you have to clean up after them by catching the exception every time you try to use If-Modified-Since.

Setting Camera Parameters in OpenCV/Python

To avoid using integer values to identify the VideoCapture properties, one can use, e.g., cv2.cv.CV_CAP_PROP_FPS in OpenCV 2.4 and cv2.CAP_PROP_FPS in OpenCV 3.0. (See also Stefan's comment below.)

Here a utility function that works for both OpenCV 2.4 and 3.0:

# returns OpenCV VideoCapture property id given, e.g., "FPS"
def capPropId(prop):
  return getattr(cv2 if OPCV3 else cv2.cv,
    ("" if OPCV3 else "CV_") + "CAP_PROP_" + prop)

OPCV3 is set earlier in my utilities code like this:

from pkg_resources import parse_version
OPCV3 = parse_version(cv2.__version__) >= parse_version('3')

What is the non-jQuery equivalent of '$(document).ready()'?

According to http://youmightnotneedjquery.com/#ready a nice replacement that still works with IE8 is

_x000D_
_x000D_
function ready(fn) {_x000D_
  if (document.readyState != 'loading') {_x000D_
    fn();_x000D_
  } else if (document.addEventListener) {_x000D_
    document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', fn);_x000D_
  } else {_x000D_
    document.attachEvent('onreadystatechange', function() {_x000D_
      if (document.readyState != 'loading')_x000D_
        fn();_x000D_
    });_x000D_
  }_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
// test_x000D_
window.ready(function() {_x000D_
    alert('it works');_x000D_
});
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

improvements: Personally I would also check if the type of fn is a function. And as @elliottregan suggested remove the event listener after use.

The reason I answer this question late is because I was searching for this answer but could not find it here. And I think this is the best solution.

How to get the containing form of an input?

I use a bit of jQuery and old style javascript - less code

$($(this)[0].form) 

This is a complete reference to the form containing the element

Authentication plugin 'caching_sha2_password' is not supported

I ran into the same problem as well. My problem was, that I accidentally installed the wrong connector version. Delete your currently installed version from your file system (my path looks like this: C:\Program Files\Python36\Lib\site-packages) and then execute "pip install mysql-connector-python". This should solve your problem

update columns values with column of another table based on condition

Detect and exclude outliers in Pandas data frame

For each of your dataframe column, you could get quantile with:

q = df["col"].quantile(0.99)

and then filter with:

df[df["col"] < q]

If one need to remove lower and upper outliers, combine condition with an AND statement:

q_low = df["col"].quantile(0.01)
q_hi  = df["col"].quantile(0.99)

df_filtered = df[(df["col"] < q_hi) & (df["col"] > q_low)]

How do I perform a JAVA callback between classes?

In this particular case, the following should work:

serverConnectionHandler = new ServerConnections(_address) {
    public void newConnection(Socket _socket) {
        System.out.println("A function of my child class was called.");
    }
};

It's an anonymous subclass.

How can I round down a number in Javascript?

Was fiddling round with someone elses code today and found the following which seems rounds down as well:

var dec = 12.3453465,
int = dec >> 0; // returns 12

It took me a while to work out what this was doing :D

But as highlighted above, Math.floor() works and looks more readable in my opinion.

No notification sound when sending notification from firebase in android

The onMessageReceived method is fired only when app is in foreground or the notification payload only contains the data type.

From the Firebase docs

For downstream messaging, FCM provides two types of payload: notification and data.

For notification type, FCM automatically displays the message to end-user devices on behalf of the client app. Notifications have a predefined set of user-visible keys.
For data type, client app is responsible for processing data messages. Data messages have only custom key-value pairs.

Use notifications when you want FCM to handle displaying a notification on your client app's behalf. Use data messages when you want your app to handle the display or process the messages on your Android client app, or if you want to send messages to iOS devices when there is a direct FCM connection.

Further down the docs

App behaviour when receiving messages that include both notification and data payloads depends on whether the app is in the background or the foreground—essentially, whether or not it is active at the time of receipt.
When in the background, apps receive the notification payload in the notification tray, and only handle the data payload when the user taps on the notification.
When in the foreground, your app receives a message object with both payloads available.

If you are using the firebase console to send notifications, the payload will always contain the notification type. You have to use the Firebase API to send the notification with only the data type in the notification payload. That way your app is always notified when a new notification is received and the app can handle the notification payload.

If you want to play notification sound when app is in background using the conventional method, you need to add the sound parameter to the notification payload.

What are some uses of template template parameters?

I think you need to use template template syntax to pass a parameter whose type is a template dependent on another template like this:

template <template<class> class H, class S>
void f(const H<S> &value) {
}

Here, H is a template, but I wanted this function to deal with all specializations of H.

NOTE: I've been programming c++ for many years and have only needed this once. I find that it is a rarely needed feature (of course handy when you need it!).

I've been trying to think of good examples, and to be honest, most of the time this isn't necessary, but let's contrive an example. Let's pretend that std::vector doesn't have a typedef value_type.

So how would you write a function which can create variables of the right type for the vectors elements? This would work.

template <template<class, class> class V, class T, class A>
void f(V<T, A> &v) {
    // This can be "typename V<T, A>::value_type",
    // but we are pretending we don't have it

    T temp = v.back();
    v.pop_back();
    // Do some work on temp

    std::cout << temp << std::endl;
}

NOTE: std::vector has two template parameters, type, and allocator, so we had to accept both of them. Fortunately, because of type deduction, we won't need to write out the exact type explicitly.

which you can use like this:

f<std::vector, int>(v); // v is of type std::vector<int> using any allocator

or better yet, we can just use:

f(v); // everything is deduced, f can deal with a vector of any type!

UPDATE: Even this contrived example, while illustrative, is no longer an amazing example due to c++11 introducing auto. Now the same function can be written as:

template <class Cont>
void f(Cont &v) {

    auto temp = v.back();
    v.pop_back();
    // Do some work on temp

    std::cout << temp << std::endl;
}

which is how I'd prefer to write this type of code.

Entity Framework Timeouts

This is what I've fund out. Maybe it will help to someone:

So here we go:

If You use LINQ with EF looking for some exact elements contained in the list like this:

await context.MyObject1.Include("MyObject2").Where(t => IdList.Contains(t.MyObjectId)).ToListAsync();

everything is going fine until IdList contains more than one Id.

The “timeout” problem comes out if the list contains just one Id. To resolve the issue use if condition to check number of ids in IdList.

Example:

if (IdList.Count == 1)
{
    result = await entities. MyObject1.Include("MyObject2").Where(t => IdList.FirstOrDefault()==t. MyObjectId).ToListAsync();
}
else
{
    result = await entities. MyObject1.Include("MyObject2").Where(t => IdList.Contains(t. MyObjectId)).ToListAsync();
}

Explanation:

Simply try to use Sql Profiler and check the Select statement generated by Entity frameeork. …

Tensorflow: Using Adam optimizer

FailedPreconditionError: Attempting to use uninitialized value is one of the most frequent errors related to tensorflow. From official documentation, FailedPreconditionError

This exception is most commonly raised when running an operation that reads a tf.Variable before it has been initialized.

In your case the error even explains what variable was not initialized: Attempting to use uninitialized value Variable_1. One of the TF tutorials explains a lot about variables, their creation/initialization/saving/loading

Basically to initialize the variable you have 3 options:

I almost always use the first approach. Remember you should put it inside a session run. So you will get something like this:

with tf.Session() as sess:
    sess.run(tf.global_variables_initializer())

If your are curious about more information about variables, read this documentation to know how to report_uninitialized_variables and check is_variable_initialized.

How to make the HTML link activated by clicking on the <li>?

Use jQuery so you don't have to write inline javascript on <li> element:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $("li > a").each(function(index, value) {
        var link = $(this).attr("href");
        $(this).parent().bind("click", function() {
            location.href = link;
        });
    });
}); 

Swift 2: Call can throw, but it is not marked with 'try' and the error is not handled

When calling a function that is declared with throws in Swift, you must annotate the function call site with try or try!. For example, given a throwing function:

func willOnlyThrowIfTrue(value: Bool) throws {
  if value { throw someError }
}

this function can be called like:

func foo(value: Bool) throws {
  try willOnlyThrowIfTrue(value)
}

Here we annotate the call with try, which calls out to the reader that this function may throw an exception, and any following lines of code might not be executed. We also have to annotate this function with throws, because this function could throw an exception (i.e., when willOnlyThrowIfTrue() throws, then foo will automatically rethrow the exception upwards.

If you want to call a function that is declared as possibly throwing, but which you know will not throw in your case because you're giving it correct input, you can use try!.

func bar() {
  try! willOnlyThrowIfTrue(false)
}

This way, when you guarantee that code won't throw, you don't have to put in extra boilerplate code to disable exception propagation.

try! is enforced at runtime: if you use try! and the function does end up throwing, then your program's execution will be terminated with a runtime error.

Most exception handling code should look like the above: either you simply propagate exceptions upward when they occur, or you set up conditions such that otherwise possible exceptions are ruled out. Any clean up of other resources in your code should occur via object destruction (i.e. deinit()), or sometimes via defered code.

func baz(value: Bool) throws {

  var filePath = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("theFile", ofType:"txt")
  var data = NSData(contentsOfFile:filePath)

  try willOnlyThrowIfTrue(value)

  // data and filePath automatically cleaned up, even when an exception occurs.
}

If for whatever reason you have clean up code that needs to run but isn't in a deinit() function, you can use defer.

func qux(value: Bool) throws {
  defer {
    print("this code runs when the function exits, even when it exits by an exception")
  }

  try willOnlyThrowIfTrue(value)
}

Most code that deals with exceptions simply has them propagate upward to callers, doing cleanup on the way via deinit() or defer. This is because most code doesn't know what to do with errors; it knows what went wrong, but it doesn't have enough information about what some higher level code is trying to do in order to know what to do about the error. It doesn't know if presenting a dialog to the user is appropriate, or if it should retry, or if something else is appropriate.

Higher level code, however, should know exactly what to do in the event of any error. So exceptions allow specific errors to bubble up from where they initially occur to the where they can be handled.

Handling exceptions is done via catch statements.

func quux(value: Bool) {
  do {
    try willOnlyThrowIfTrue(value)
  } catch {
    // handle error
  }
}

You can have multiple catch statements, each catching a different kind of exception.

  do {
    try someFunctionThatThowsDifferentExceptions()
  } catch MyErrorType.errorA {
    // handle errorA
  } catch MyErrorType.errorB {
    // handle errorB
  } catch {
    // handle other errors
  }

For more details on best practices with exceptions, see http://exceptionsafecode.com/. It's specifically aimed at C++, but after examining the Swift exception model, I believe the basics apply to Swift as well.

For details on the Swift syntax and error handling model, see the book The Swift Programming Language (Swift 2 Prerelease).

Wait for async task to finish

This will never work, because the JS VM has moved on from that async_call and returned the value, which you haven't set yet.

Don't try to fight what is natural and built-in the language behaviour. You should use a callback technique or a promise.

function f(input, callback) {
    var value;

    // Assume the async call always succeed
    async_call(input, function(result) { callback(result) };

}

The other option is to use a promise, have a look at Q. This way you return a promise, and then you attach a then listener to it, which is basically the same as a callback. When the promise resolves, the then will trigger.

How to check if curl is enabled or disabled

Its always better to go for a generic reusable function in your project which returns whether the extension loaded. You can use the following function to check -

function isExtensionLoaded($extension_name){
    return extension_loaded($extension_name);
}

Usage

echo isExtensionLoaded('curl');
echo isExtensionLoaded('gd');
