How to center the text in a JLabel?

myLabel.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER);
myLabel.setVerticalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER);

If you cannot reconstruct the label for some reason, this is how you edit these properties of a pre-existent JLabel.

Text not wrapping inside a div element

This may help a small percentage of people still scratching their heads. Text copied from clipboard into VSCode may have an invisible hard space character preventing wrapping. Check it with HTML inspector

string with hard spaces

add to array if it isn't there already

Since there are a ton of ways to accomplish the desired results and so many people provided !in_array() as an answer, and the OP already mentions the use of array_unique, I would like to provide a couple alternatives.

Using array_diff (php >= 4.0.1 || 5) you can filter out only the new array values that don't exist. Alternatively you can also compare the keys and values with array_diff_assoc. http://php.net/manual/en/function.array-diff.php

$currentValues = array(1, 2);
$newValues = array(1, 3, 1, 4, 2);
var_dump(array_diff($newValues, $currentValues));

Result:

Array
(
    [1] => 3
    [3] => 4
)

http://ideone.com/SWO3D1

Another method is using array_flip to assign the values as keys and compare them using isset, which will perform much faster than in_array with large datasets. Again this filters out just the new values that do not already exist in the current values.

$currentValues = [1, 2];
$newValues = [1, 3, 1, 4, 2];
$a = array();
$checkValues = array_flip($currentValues);
foreach ($newValues as $v) {
    if (!isset($checkValues[$v])) {
        $a[] = $v;
    }
}

Result:

Array
(
    [0] => 3
    [1] => 4
)

http://ideone.com/cyRyzN

With either method you can then use array_merge to append the unique new values to your current values.

  1. http://ideone.com/JCakmR
  2. http://ideone.com/bwTz2u

Result:

Array
(
    [0] => 1
    [1] => 2
    [2] => 3
    [3] => 4
)

jQuery get value of select onChange

This is what worked for me. Tried everything else with no luck:

<html>

  <head>
    <title>Example: Change event on a select</title>

    <script type="text/javascript">

      function changeEventHandler(event) {
        alert('You like ' + event.target.value + ' ice cream.');
      }

    </script>

  </head>

  <body>
    <label>Choose an ice cream flavor: </label>
    <select size="1" onchange="changeEventHandler(event);">
      <option>chocolate</option>
      <option>strawberry</option>
      <option>vanilla</option>
    </select>
  </body>

</html>

How can I access an internal class from an external assembly?

Reflection.

using System.Reflection;

Vendor vendor = new Vendor();
object tag = vendor.Tag;

Type tagt = tag.GetType();
FieldInfo field = tagt.GetField("test");

string value = field.GetValue(tag);

Use the power wisely. Don't forget error checking. :)

getting " (1) no such column: _id10 " error

I think you missed a equal sign at:

Cursor c = ourDatabase.query(DATABASE_TABLE, column, KEY_ROWID + "" + l, null, null, null, null);  

Change to:

Cursor c = ourDatabase.query(DATABASE_TABLE, column, KEY_ROWID + " = " + l, null, null, null, null); 

How can I limit ngFor repeat to some number of items in Angular?

For example, lets say we want to display only the first 10 items of an array, we could do this using the SlicePipe like so:

<ul>
     <li *ngFor="let item of items | slice:0:10">
      {{ item }}
     </li>
</ul>

pySerial write() won't take my string

It turns out that the string needed to be turned into a bytearray and to do this I editted the code to

ser.write("%01#RDD0010000107**\r".encode())

This solved the problem

form_for but to post to a different action

I have done it like that

<%= form_for :user, url: {action: "update", params: {id: @user.id}} do |f| %>

Note the optional parameter id set to user instance id attribute.

How do I check if a string contains a specific word?

In order to find a 'word', rather than the occurrence of a series of letters that could in fact be a part of another word, the following would be a good solution.

$string = 'How are you?';
$array = explode(" ", $string);

if (in_array('are', $array) ) {
    echo 'Found the word';
}

How to format JSON in notepad++

Always google so you can locate the latest package for both NPP and NPP Plugins.

I googled "notepad++ 64bit". Downloaded the free latest version at Notepad++ (64-bit) - Free download and software. Installed notepad++ by double-click on npp.?.?.?.Installer.x64.exe, installed the .exe to default Windows 64bit path which is, "C:\Program Files".

Then, I googled "notepad++ 64 json viewer plug". Knowing SourceForge.Net is a renowned download site, downloaded JSToolNpp [email protected]. I unzipped and copied JSMinNPP.dll to notePad++ root dir.

I loaded my newly installed notepad++ 64bit. I went to Settings and selected [import plug-in]. I pointed to the location of JSMinNPP.dll and clicked open.

I reloaded notepad++, went to PlugIns menu. To format one-line json string to multi-line json doc, I clicked JSTool->JSFormat or reverse multi-line json doc to one-line json string by JSTool->JSMin (json-Minified)!

All items are in this picture.

How can I send JSON response in symfony2 controller

If your data is already serialized:

a) send a JSON response

public function someAction()
{
    $response = new Response();
    $response->setContent(file_get_contents('path/to/file'));
    $response->headers->set('Content-Type', 'application/json');
    return $response;
}

b) send a JSONP response (with callback)

public function someAction()
{
    $response = new Response();
    $response->setContent('/**/FUNCTION_CALLBACK_NAME(' . file_get_contents('path/to/file') . ');');
    $response->headers->set('Content-Type', 'text/javascript');
    return $response;
}

If your data needs be serialized:

c) send a JSON response

public function someAction()
{
    $response = new JsonResponse();
    $response->setData([some array]);
    return $response;
}

d) send a JSONP response (with callback)

public function someAction()
{
    $response = new JsonResponse();
    $response->setData([some array]);
    $response->setCallback('FUNCTION_CALLBACK_NAME');
    return $response;
}

e) use groups in Symfony 3.x.x

Create groups inside your Entities

<?php

namespace Mindlahus;

use Symfony\Component\Serializer\Annotation\Groups;

/**
 * Some Super Class Name
 *
 * @ORM    able("table_name")
 * @ORM\Entity(repositoryClass="SomeSuperClassNameRepository")
 * @UniqueEntity(
 *  fields={"foo", "boo"},
 *  ignoreNull=false
 * )
 */
class SomeSuperClassName
{
    /**
     * @Groups({"group1", "group2"})
     */
    public $foo;
    /**
     * @Groups({"group1"})
     */
    public $date;

    /**
     * @Groups({"group3"})
     */
    public function getBar() // is* methods are also supported
    {
        return $this->bar;
    }

    // ...
}

Normalize your Doctrine Object inside the logic of your application

<?php

use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
use Symfony\Component\Serializer\Mapping\Factory\ClassMetadataFactory;
// For annotations
use Doctrine\Common\Annotations\AnnotationReader;
use Symfony\Component\Serializer\Mapping\Loader\AnnotationLoader;
use Symfony\Component\Serializer\Serializer;
use Symfony\Component\Serializer\Normalizer\ObjectNormalizer;
use Symfony\Component\Serializer\Encoder\JsonEncoder;

...

$repository = $this->getDoctrine()->getRepository('Mindlahus:SomeSuperClassName');
$SomeSuperObject = $repository->findOneById($id);

$classMetadataFactory = new ClassMetadataFactory(new AnnotationLoader(new AnnotationReader()));
$encoder = new JsonEncoder();
$normalizer = new ObjectNormalizer($classMetadataFactory);
$callback = function ($dateTime) {
    return $dateTime instanceof \DateTime
        ? $dateTime->format('m-d-Y')
        : '';
};
$normalizer->setCallbacks(array('date' => $callback));
$serializer = new Serializer(array($normalizer), array($encoder));
$data = $serializer->normalize($SomeSuperObject, null, array('groups' => array('group1')));

$response = new Response();
$response->setContent($serializer->serialize($data, 'json'));
$response->headers->set('Content-Type', 'application/json');
return $response;

How can one use multi threading in PHP applications

As of the writing of my current comment, I don't know about the PHP threads. I came to look for the answer here myself, but one workaround is that the PHP program that receives the request from the web server delegates the whole answer formulation to a console application that stores its output, the answer to the request, to a binary file and the PHP program that launched the console application returns that binary file byte-by-byte as the answer to the received request. The console application can be written in any programming language that runs on the server, including those that have proper threading support, including C++ programs that use OpenMP.

One unreliable, dirty, trick is to use PHP for executing a console application, "uname",

uname -a

and print the output of that console command to the HTML output to find out the exact version of the server software. Then install the exact same version of the software to a VirtualBox instance, compile/assemble whatever fully self-contained, preferably static, binaries that one wants and then upload those to the server. From that point onwards the PHP application can use those binaries in the role of the console application that has proper multi-threading. It's a dirty, unreliable, workaround to a situation, when the server administrator has not installed all needed programming language implementations to the server. The thing to watch out for is that at every request that the PHP application receives the console application(s) terminates/exit/get_killed.

As to what the hosting service administrators think of such server usage patterns, I guess it boils down to culture. In Northern Europe the service provider HAS TO DELIVER WHAT WAS ADVERTISED and if execution of console commands was allowed and uploading of non-malware files was allowed and the service provider has a right to kill any server process after a few minutes or even after 30 seconds, then the hosting service administrators lack any arguments for forming a proper complaint. In United States and Western Europe the situation/culture is very different and I believe that there's a great chance that in U.S. and/or Western Europe the hosting service provider will refuse to serve hosting service clients that use the above described trick. That's just my guess, given my personal experience with U.S. hosting services and given what I have heard from others about Western European hosting services. As of the writing of my current comment(2018_09_01) I do not know anything about the cultural norms of the Southern-European hosting service providers, Southern-European network administrators.

Convert a Unicode string to an escaped ASCII string

A small patch to @Adam Sills's answer which solves FormatException on cases where the input string like "c:\u00ab\otherdirectory\" plus RegexOptions.Compiled makes the Regex compilation much faster:

    private static Regex DECODING_REGEX = new Regex(@"\\u(?<Value>[a-fA-F0-9]{4})", RegexOptions.Compiled);
    private const string PLACEHOLDER = @"#!#";
    public static string DecodeEncodedNonAsciiCharacters(this string value)
    {
        return DECODING_REGEX.Replace(
            value.Replace(@"\\", PLACEHOLDER),
            m => { 
                return ((char)int.Parse(m.Groups["Value"].Value, NumberStyles.HexNumber)).ToString(); })
            .Replace(PLACEHOLDER, @"\\");
    }

Get the first item from an iterable that matches a condition

For anyone using Python 3.8 or newer I recommend using "Assignment Expressions" as described in PEP 572 -- Assignment Expressions.

if any((match := i) > 3 for i in range(10)):
    print(match)

Visual Studio Code: Auto-refresh file changes

VSCode will never refresh the file if you have changes in that file that are not saved to disk. However, if the file is open and does not have changes, it will replace with the changes on disk, that is true.

There is currently no way to disable this behaviour.

How can I login to a website with Python?

Web page automation ? Definitely "webbot"

webbot even works web pages which have dynamically changing id and classnames and has more methods and features than selenium or mechanize.

Here's a snippet :)

from webbot import Browser 
web = Browser()
web.go_to('google.com') 
web.click('Sign in')
web.type('[email protected]' , into='Email')
web.click('NEXT' , tag='span')
web.type('mypassword' , into='Password' , id='passwordFieldId') # specific selection
web.click('NEXT' , tag='span') # you are logged in ^_^

The docs are also pretty straight forward and simple to use : https://webbot.readthedocs.io

Trigger back-button functionality on button click in Android

Well the answer from @sahhhm didn't work for me, what i needed was to trigger the backKey from a custom button so what I did was I simply called,

backAction.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                MyRides.super.onBackPressed();

            }
});

and it work like charm. Hope it will help others too.

What are sessions? How do they work?

Think of HTTP as a person(A) who has SHORT TERM MEMORY LOSS and forgets every person as soon as that person goes out of sight.

Now, to remember different persons, A takes a photo of that person and keeps it. Each Person's pic has an ID number. When that person comes again in sight, that person tells it's ID number to A and A finds their picture by ID number. And voila !!, A knows who is that person.

Same is with HTTP. It is suffering from SHORT TERM MEMORY LOSS. It uses Sessions to record everything you did while using a website, and then, when you come again, it identifies you with the help of Cookies(Cookie is like a token). Picture is the Session here, and ID is the Cookie here.

Absolute positioning ignoring padding of parent

1.) you cannot use big border on parent -- in case you want to have a specific border

2.) you cannot add margin -- in case your parent is a part of some other container and you want your parent to take the full width of that grand parent.

The Only Solution that should be applicable is to wrap your children's in an another container so that your parent becomes the grandparent and then apply padding to the new children's Wrapper / Parent. Or you can directly apply padding to the children.

In your case:

.css-sux{
  padding: 0px 10px 10px 10px;
}

How to make asynchronous HTTP requests in PHP

let me show you my way :)

needs nodejs installed on the server

(my server sends 1000 https get request takes only 2 seconds)

Cannot authenticate into mongo, "auth fails"

I also received this error, what I needed was to specify the database where the user authentication data was stored:

mongo -u admin -p SECRETPASSWORD --authenticationDatabase admin

Update Nov 18 2017:

mongo admin -u admin -p

is a better solution. Mongo will prompt you for your password, this way you won't put your cleartext password into the shell history which is just terrible security practice.

How to add additional fields to form before submit?

This works:

var form = $(this).closest('form');

form = form.serializeArray();

form = form.concat([
    {name: "customer_id", value: window.username},
    {name: "post_action", value: "Update Information"}
]);

$.post('/change-user-details', form, function(d) {
    if (d.error) {
        alert("There was a problem updating your user details")
    } 
});

Change background image opacity

Responding to an earlier comment, you can change the background by variable in the "container" example if the CSS is in your php page and not in the css style sheet.

$bgimage = '[some image url];
background-image: url('<?php echo $bgimage; ?>');

What is so bad about singletons?

Some coding snobs look down on them as just a glorified global. In the same way that many people hate the goto statement there are others that hate the idea of ever using a global. I have seen several developers go to extraordinary lengths to avoid a global because they considered using one as an admission of failure. Strange but true.

In practice the Singleton pattern is just a programming technique that is a useful part of your toolkit of concepts. From time to time you might find it is the ideal solution and so use it. But using it just so you can boast about using a design pattern is just as stupid as refusing to ever use it because it is just a global.

How to update and order by using ms sql

You can do a subquery where you first get the IDs of the top 10 ordered by priority and then update the ones that are on that sub query:

UPDATE  messages 
SET status=10 
WHERE ID in (SELECT TOP (10) Id 
             FROM Table 
             WHERE status=0 
             ORDER BY priority DESC);

Convert Unicode to ASCII without errors in Python

As an extension to Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams' answer

>>> u'a?ä'.encode('ascii', 'ignore')
'a'

It is sometimes desirable to remove accents from characters and print the base form. This can be accomplished with

>>> import unicodedata
>>> unicodedata.normalize('NFKD', u'a?ä').encode('ascii', 'ignore')
'aa'

You may also want to translate other characters (such as punctuation) to their nearest equivalents, for instance the RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK unicode character does not get converted to an ascii APOSTROPHE when encoding.

>>> print u'\u2019'
’
>>> unicodedata.name(u'\u2019')
'RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK'
>>> u'\u2019'.encode('ascii', 'ignore')
''
# Note we get an empty string back
>>> u'\u2019'.replace(u'\u2019', u'\'').encode('ascii', 'ignore')
"'"

Although there are more efficient ways to accomplish this. See this question for more details Where is Python's "best ASCII for this Unicode" database?

Unfamiliar symbol in algorithm: what does ? mean?

Mock HttpContext.Current in Test Init Method

If your application third party redirect internally, so it is better to mock HttpContext in below way :

HttpWorkerRequest initWorkerRequest = new SimpleWorkerRequest("","","","",new StringWriter(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture));
System.Web.HttpContext.Current = new HttpContext(initWorkerRequest);
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Browser = new HttpBrowserCapabilities();
System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Browser.Capabilities = new Dictionary<string, string> { { "requiresPostRedirectionHandling", "false" } };

Changing case in Vim

See the following methods:

 ~    : Changes the case of current character

 guu  : Change current line from upper to lower.

 gUU  : Change current LINE from lower to upper.

 guw  : Change to end of current WORD from upper to lower.

 guaw : Change all of current WORD to lower.

 gUw  : Change to end of current WORD from lower to upper.

 gUaw : Change all of current WORD to upper.

 g~~  : Invert case to entire line

 g~w  : Invert case to current WORD

 guG : Change to lowercase until the end of document.

Push method in React Hooks (useState)?

Most recommended method is using wrapper function and spread operator together. For example, if you have initialized a state called name like this,

const [names, setNames] = useState([])

You can push to this array like this,

setNames(names => [...names, newName])

Hope that helps.

How to run a cron job inside a docker container?

Cron jobs are stored in /var/spool/cron/crontabs (Common place in all distros I Know). BTW, You can create a cron tab in bash using something like that:

crontab -l > cronexample
echo "00 09 * * 1-5 echo hello" >> cronexample
crontab cronexample
rm cronexample

This will create a temporary file with cron task, then program it using crontab. Last line remove temporary file.

cmake - find_library - custom library location

I've encountered a similar scenario. I solved it by adding in this following code just before find_library():

set(CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH /the/custom/path/to/your/lib/)

then it can find the library location.

SQL Server 2008: How to query all databases sizes?

All this examples work fine on most of my database servers. However if you have 1 server with multiple instances and all those servers those query's give you no result.

For instance the first query gives a result like:

name    DataFileSizeMB  LogFileSizeMB
master  NULL    NULL
tempdb  NULL    NULL
model   NULL    NULL
msdb    NULL    NULL

So the databases are selected from sys.databases, however the table sys.master_files seems to be empty or gives no result.

Even a simple query as select * from sys.master_files has a result of 0 records. You don't receive any errors but no records are found. On my servers with only 1 database instance this works fine.

How to split() a delimited string to a List<String>

Just u can use with using System.Linq;

List<string> stringList = line.Split(',')     // this is array
 .ToList();     // this is a list which you can loop in all split string

Verifying a specific parameter with Moq

If the verification logic is non-trivial, it will be messy to write a large lambda method (as your example shows). You could put all the test statements in a separate method, but I don't like to do this because it disrupts the flow of reading the test code.

Another option is to use a callback on the Setup call to store the value that was passed into the mocked method, and then write standard Assert methods to validate it. For example:

// Arrange
MyObject saveObject;
mock.Setup(c => c.Method(It.IsAny<int>(), It.IsAny<MyObject>()))
        .Callback<int, MyObject>((i, obj) => saveObject = obj)
        .Returns("xyzzy");

// Act
// ...

// Assert
// Verify Method was called once only
mock.Verify(c => c.Method(It.IsAny<int>(), It.IsAny<MyObject>()), Times.Once());
// Assert about saveObject
Assert.That(saveObject.TheProperty, Is.EqualTo(2));

Recover SVN password from local cache

On Windows, Subversion stores the auth data in %APPDATA%\Subversion\auth. The passwords however are stored encrypted, not in plaintext.

You can decrypt those, but only if you log in to Windows as the same user for which the auth data was saved.

Someone even wrote a tool to decrypt those. Never tried the tool myself so I don't know how well it works, but you might want to try it anyway:

http://www.leapbeyond.com/ric/TSvnPD/

Update: In TortoiseSVN 1.9 and later, you can do it without any additional tools:

Settings Dialog -> Saved Data, then click the "Clear..." button right of the text "Authentication Data". A new dialog pops up, showing all stored authentication data where you can chose which one(s) to clear. Instead of clearing, hold down the Shift and Ctrl button, and then double click on the list. A new column is shown in the dialog which shows the password in clear.

mcrypt is deprecated, what is the alternative?

I am using this on PHP 7.2.x, it's working fine for me:

public function make_hash($userStr){
        try{
            /** 
             * Used and tested on PHP 7.2x, Salt has been removed manually, it is now added by PHP 
             */
             return password_hash($userStr, PASSWORD_BCRYPT);
            }catch(Exception $exc){
                $this->tempVar = $exc->getMessage();
                return false;
            }
        }

and then authenticate the hash with the following function:

public function varify_user($userStr,$hash){
        try{
            if (password_verify($userStr, $hash)) {
                 return true;
                }
            else {
                return false;
                }
            }catch(Exception $exc){
                $this->tempVar = $exc->getMessage();
                return false;
            }
        }

Example:

  //create hash from user string

 $user_password = $obj->make_hash2($user_key);

and to authenticate this hash use the following code:

if($obj->varify_user($key, $user_key)){
      //this is correct, you can proceed with  
    }

That's all.

Warning: A non-numeric value encountered

I encountered the issue in phpmyadmin with PHP 7.3. Thanks @coderama, I changed libraries/DisplayResults.class.php line 855 from

// Move to the next page or to the last one
$endpos = $_SESSION['tmpval']['pos']
    + $_SESSION['tmpval']['max_rows'];

into

// Move to the next page or to the last one
$endpos = (int)$_SESSION['tmpval']['pos']
    + (int)$_SESSION['tmpval']['max_rows'];

Fixed.

How to hide a View programmatically?

Kotlin Solution

view.isVisible = true
view.isInvisible = true
view.isGone = true

// For these to work, you need to use androidx and import:
import androidx.core.view.isVisible // or isInvisible/isGone

Kotlin Extension Solution

If you'd like them to be more consistent length, work for nullable views, and lower the chance of writing the wrong boolean, try using these custom extensions:

// Example
view.hide()

fun View?.show() {
    if (this == null) return
    if (!isVisible) isVisible = true
}

fun View?.hide() {
    if (this == null) return
    if (!isInvisible) isInvisible = true
}

fun View?.gone() {
    if (this == null) return
    if (!isGone) isGone = true
}

To make conditional visibility simple, also add these:

fun View?.show(visible: Boolean) {
    if (visible) show() else gone()
}

fun View?.hide(hide: Boolean) {
    if (hide) hide() else show()
}

fun View?.gone(gone: Boolean = true) {
    if (gone) gone() else show()
}

What does this thread join code mean?

Simply put:
t1.join() returns after t1 is completed.
It doesn't do anything to thread t1, except wait for it to finish.
Naturally, code following t1.join() will be executed only after t1.join() returns.

Meaning of *& and **& in C++

An int* is a pointer to an int, so int*& must be a reference to a pointer to an int. Similarly, int** is a pointer to a pointer to an int, so int**& must be a reference to a pointer to a pointer to an int.

How to open the default webbrowser using java

Its very simple just write below code:

String s = "http://www.google.com";
Desktop desktop = Desktop.getDesktop();
desktop.browse(URI.create(s));

or if you don't want to load URL then just write your browser name into string values like,

String s = "chrome";
Desktop desktop = Desktop.getDesktop();
desktop.browse(URI.create(s));

it will open browser automatically with empty URL after executing a program

How do you modify a CSS style in the code behind file for divs in ASP.NET?

If you're newing up an element with initializer syntax, you can do something like this:

var row = new HtmlTableRow
{
  Cells =
  {
    new HtmlTableCell
    {
        InnerText = text,
        Attributes = { ["style"] = "min-width: 35px;" }
    },
  }
};

Or if using the CssStyleCollection specifically:

var row = new HtmlTableRow
{
  Cells =
  {
    new HtmlTableCell
    {
        InnerText = text,
        Style = { ["min-width"] = "35px" }
    },
  }
};

How to configure Fiddler to listen to localhost?

Add a dot . after the localhost.

For example if you had http://localhost:24448/HomePage.aspx

Change it to http://localhost.:24448/HomePage.aspx

Internet Explorer is bypassing the proxy server for "localhost". With the dot, the "localhost" check in the domain name fails.

Using Panel or PlaceHolder

PlaceHolder control

Use the PlaceHolder control as a container to store server controls that are dynamically added to the Web page. The PlaceHolder control does not produce any visible output and is used only as a container for other controls on the Web page. You can use the Control.Controls collection to add, insert, or remove a control in the PlaceHolder control.

Panel control

The Panel control is a container for other controls. It is especially useful when you want to generate controls programmatically, hide/show a group of controls, or localize a group of controls.

The Direction property is useful for localizing a Panel control's content to display text for languages that are written from right to left, such as Arabic or Hebrew.

The Panel control provides several properties that allow you to customize the behavior and display of its contents. Use the BackImageUrl property to display a custom image for the Panel control. Use the ScrollBars property to specify scroll bars for the control.

Small differences when rendering HTML: a PlaceHolder control will render nothing, but Panel control will render as a <div>.

Uses of Action delegate in C#

Well one thing you could do is if you have a switch:

switch(SomeEnum)
{
  case SomeEnum.One:
      DoThings(someUser);
      break;
  case SomeEnum.Two:
      DoSomethingElse(someUser);
      break;
}

And with the might power of actions you can turn that switch into a dictionary:

Dictionary<SomeEnum, Action<User>> methodList = 
    new Dictionary<SomeEnum, Action<User>>()

methodList.Add(SomeEnum.One, DoSomething);
methodList.Add(SomeEnum.Two, DoSomethingElse); 

...

methodList[SomeEnum](someUser);

Or you could take this farther:

SomeOtherMethod(Action<User> someMethodToUse, User someUser)
{
    someMethodToUse(someUser);
}  

....

var neededMethod = methodList[SomeEnum];
SomeOtherMethod(neededMethod, someUser);

Just a couple of examples. Of course the more obvious use would be Linq extension methods.

SOAP PHP fault parsing WSDL: failed to load external entity?

On register_client.php make sure that the URL that has been passed to SoapClient is accessible from the machine you're executing the code.

$sClient = new SoapClient('http://127.0.0.1/MyRegistration/login.wsdl');    

If 127.0.0.0 does not work you can try using some network IP address and see.

Let me know if it still does not fix it for you, I did try with your example and changing path (making it proper in my dev. environment) has fixed same error for me.

I would be interested to know if it does not fix it for you.

Delimiter must not be alphanumeric or backslash and preg_match

You need a delimiter for your pattern. It should be added at the start and end of the pattern like so:

$pattern = "/My name is '(.*)' and im fine/";  // With / as a delimeter 

How to loop over grouped Pandas dataframe?

df.groupby('l_customer_id_i').agg(lambda x: ','.join(x)) does already return a dataframe, so you cannot loop over the groups anymore.

In general:

  • df.groupby(...) returns a GroupBy object (a DataFrameGroupBy or SeriesGroupBy), and with this, you can iterate through the groups (as explained in the docs here). You can do something like:

    grouped = df.groupby('A')
    
    for name, group in grouped:
        ...
    
  • When you apply a function on the groupby, in your example df.groupby(...).agg(...) (but this can also be transform, apply, mean, ...), you combine the result of applying the function to the different groups together in one dataframe (the apply and combine step of the 'split-apply-combine' paradigm of groupby). So the result of this will always be again a DataFrame (or a Series depending on the applied function).

How to remove a package in sublime text 2

There are several answers, First IF you are using Package Control simply use Package Control's Remove Package command...

Ctrl+Shift+P

Package Control: Remove Package

If you installed the package manually, and are on a Windows machine...have no fear; Just modify the files manually.

First navigate to

C:\users\[Name]\AppData\Roaming\Sublime Text [version]\

There will be 4 directories:

  1. Installed Packages (Holds the Package Control config file, ignore)
  2. Packages (Holds Package source)
  3. Pristine Packages (Holds the versioning info, ignore)
  4. Settings (Sublime Setting Info, ignore)

First open ..\Packages folder and locate the folder named the same as your package; Delete it.

Secondly, open Sublime and navigate to the Preferences > Package Settings > Package Control > Settings-user

Third, locate the line where the package name you want to "uninstall"

{
    "installed_packages":
    [
        "Alignment",
        "All Autocomplete",
        "AngularJS",
        "AutoFileName",
        "BracketHighlighter",
        "Browser Support",
        "Case Conversion",
        "ColorPicker",
        "Emmet",
        "FileDiffs",
        "Format SQL",
        "Git",
        "Github Tools",
        "HTML-CSS-JS Prettify",
        "HTML5",
        "HTMLBeautify",
        "jQuery",
        "JsFormat",
        "JSHint",
        "JsMinifier",
        "LiveReload",
        "LoremIpsum",
        "LoremPixel",
        "Oracle PL SQL",
        "Package Control",
        "Placehold.it Image Tag Generator",
        "Placeholders",
        "Prefixr",
        "Search Stack Overflow",
        "SublimeAStyleFormatter",
        "SublimeCodeIntel",
        "Tag",
        "Theme - Centurion",
        "TortoiseSVN",
        "Zen Tabs"
    ]
}

NOTE Say the package you are removing is "Zen Tabs", you MUST also remove the , after "TortoiseSVN" or it will error.

Thus concludes the easiest way to remove or Install a Sublime Text Package.

How does the FetchMode work in Spring Data JPA

http://jdpgrailsdev.github.io/blog/2014/09/09/spring_data_hibernate_join.html
from this link:

if you are using JPA on top of Hibernate, there is no way to set the FetchMode used by Hibernate to JOINHowever, if you are using JPA on top of Hibernate, there is no way to set the FetchMode used by Hibernate to JOIN.

The Spring Data JPA library provides a Domain Driven Design Specifications API that allows you to control the behavior of the generated query.

final long userId = 1;

final Specification<User> spec = new Specification<User>() {
   @Override
    public Predicate toPredicate(final Root<User> root, final 
     CriteriaQuery<?> query, final CriteriaBuilder cb) {
    query.distinct(true);
    root.fetch("permissions", JoinType.LEFT);
    return cb.equal(root.get("id"), userId);
 }
};

List<User> users = userRepository.findAll(spec);

C++ code file extension? .cc vs .cpp

It doesn't matter which of those extensions you'd use. Pick whichever you like more, just be consistent with naming. The only exception I'm aware of with this naming convention is that I couldn't make WinDDK (or is it WDK now?) to compile .cc files. On Linux though that's hardly a problem.

JetBrains / IntelliJ keyboard shortcut to collapse all methods

@precastic's answer above is, imo, the right idea.

Worth noting that in IDEA 2018.2 (and surely other nearby versions) there are default keyboard shortcuts for this: (showing Mac, see Code > Folding > Expand All to Level for your system):

Cmd+Option+Keypad *, 1 - expand all to level 1
Cmd+Option+Keypad *, 2 - expand all to level 2
...
Cmd+Option+Keypad *, 5 - expand all to level 5

Note: these are "second stroke" shortcuts. First press Cmd+Option+*, then release, then hit the number you want.

Android findViewById() in Custom View

You can try something like this:

Inside customview constructor:

mContext = context;

Next inside customview you can call:

((MainActivity) mContext).updateText( text );

Inside MainAcivity define:

public void updateText(final String text) {

     TextView txtView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text);
     txtView.setText(text);
}

It works for me.

Array versus List<T>: When to use which?

It completely depends on the contexts in which the data structure is needed. For example, if you are creating items to be used by other functions or services using List is the perfect way to accomplish it.

Now if you have a list of items and you just want to display them, say on a web page array is the container you need to use.

How to uninstall with msiexec using product id guid without .msi file present

There's no reason for the {} command not to work. The semi-obvious questions are:

  1. You are sure that the product is actually installed! There's something in ARP/Programs&Features.

  2. The original install is in fact visible in the current context. It looks as if it might have been a per-user install, and if you are logged in as somebody else now then it won't know about it - you'd need to log in under the same account as the original install.

  3. If the \windows\installer directory was damaged the cached file would be missing, and that's used to do the uninstall.

`React/RCTBridgeModule.h` file not found

What you can do to get it right is:

1) npm uninstall reat-native-fs to uninstall library

2)npm unlink react-native-fs to unlink the library

Now the library is successfully removed and now install the lib again in your project and this time link everything manually. Sometime automatic linking causes this error.

What are the differences between JSON and JSONP?

JSON

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a convenient way to transport data between applications, especially when the destination is a JavaScript application.

Example:

Here is a minimal example that uses JSON as the transport for the server response. The client makes an Ajax request with the jQuery shorthand function $.getJSON. The server generates a hash, formats it as JSON and returns this to the client. The client formats this and puts it in a page element.

Server:

get '/json' do
 content_type :json
 content = { :response  => 'Sent via JSON',
            :timestamp => Time.now,
            :random    => rand(10000) }
 content.to_json
end

Client:

var url = host_prefix + '/json';
$.getJSON(url, function(json){
  $("#json-response").html(JSON.stringify(json, null, 2));
});

Output:

  {
   "response": "Sent via JSON",
   "timestamp": "2014-06-18 09:49:01 +0000",
   "random": 6074
  }

JSONP (JSON with Padding)

JSONP is a simple way to overcome browser restrictions when sending JSON responses from different domains from the client.

The only change on the client side with JSONP is to add a callback parameter to the URL

Server:

get '/jsonp' do
 callback = params['callback']
 content_type :js
 content = { :response  => 'Sent via JSONP',
            :timestamp => Time.now,
            :random    => rand(10000) }
 "#{callback}(#{content.to_json})"
end

Client:

var url = host_prefix + '/jsonp?callback=?';
$.getJSON(url, function(jsonp){
  $("#jsonp-response").html(JSON.stringify(jsonp, null, 2));
});

Output:

 {
  "response": "Sent via JSONP",
  "timestamp": "2014-06-18 09:50:15 +0000",
  "random": 364
}

Open a file with Notepad in C#

You need System.Diagnostics.Process.Start().

The simplest example:

Process.Start("notepad.exe", fileName);

More Generic Approach:

Process.Start(fileName);

The second approach is probably a better practice as this will cause the windows Shell to open up your file with it's associated editor. Additionally, if the file specified does not have an association, it'll use the Open With... dialog from windows.

Note to those in the comments, thankyou for your input. My quick n' dirty answer was slightly off, i've updated the answer to reflect the correct way.

How to reshape data from long to wide format

You can do this with the reshape() function, or with the melt() / cast() functions in the reshape package. For the second option, example code is

library(reshape)
cast(dat1, name ~ numbers)

Or using reshape2

library(reshape2)
dcast(dat1, name ~ numbers)

How to stop java process gracefully?

Ok, after all the possibilities I have chosen to work with "Java Monitoring and Management"
Overview is here
That allows you to control one application from another one in relatively easy way. You can call the controlling application from a script to stop controlled application gracefully before killing it.

Here is the simplified code:

Controlled application:
run it with the folowing VM parameters:
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=9999
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false

//ThreadMonitorMBean.java
public interface ThreadMonitorMBean
{
String getName();
void start();
void stop();
boolean isRunning();
}

// ThreadMonitor.java
public class ThreadMonitor implements ThreadMonitorMBean
{
private Thread m_thrd = null;

public ThreadMonitor(Thread thrd)
{
    m_thrd = thrd;
}

@Override
public String getName()
{
    return "JMX Controlled App";
}

@Override
public void start()
{
    // TODO: start application here
    System.out.println("remote start called");
}

@Override
public void stop()
{
    // TODO: stop application here
    System.out.println("remote stop called");

    m_thrd.interrupt();
}

public boolean isRunning()
{
    return Thread.currentThread().isAlive();
}

public static void main(String[] args)
{
    try
    {
        System.out.println("JMX started");

        ThreadMonitorMBean monitor = new ThreadMonitor(Thread.currentThread());

        MBeanServer server = ManagementFactory.getPlatformMBeanServer();

        ObjectName name = new ObjectName("com.example:type=ThreadMonitor");

        server.registerMBean(monitor, name);

        while(!Thread.interrupted())
        {
            // loop until interrupted
            System.out.println(".");
            try 
            {
                Thread.sleep(1000);
            } 
            catch(InterruptedException ex) 
            {
                Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
            }
        }
    }
    catch(Exception e)
    {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    finally
    {
        // TODO: some final clean up could be here also
        System.out.println("JMX stopped");
    }
}
}

Controlling application:
run it with the stop or start as the command line argument

public class ThreadMonitorConsole
{

public static void main(String[] args)
{
    try
    {   
        // connecting to JMX
        System.out.println("Connect to JMX service.");
        JMXServiceURL url = new JMXServiceURL("service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://:9999/jmxrmi");
        JMXConnector jmxc = JMXConnectorFactory.connect(url, null);
        MBeanServerConnection mbsc = jmxc.getMBeanServerConnection();

        // Construct proxy for the the MBean object
        ObjectName mbeanName = new ObjectName("com.example:type=ThreadMonitor");
        ThreadMonitorMBean mbeanProxy = JMX.newMBeanProxy(mbsc, mbeanName, ThreadMonitorMBean.class, true);

        System.out.println("Connected to: "+mbeanProxy.getName()+", the app is "+(mbeanProxy.isRunning() ? "" : "not ")+"running");

        // parse command line arguments
        if(args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("start"))
        {

How to use SVG markers in Google Maps API v3

You can render your icon using the SVG Path notation.

See Google documentation for more information.

Here is a basic example:

var icon = {

    path: "M-20,0a20,20 0 1,0 40,0a20,20 0 1,0 -40,0",
    fillColor: '#FF0000',
    fillOpacity: .6,
    anchor: new google.maps.Point(0,0),
    strokeWeight: 0,
    scale: 1
}

var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
    position: event.latLng,
    map: map,
    draggable: false,
    icon: icon
});

Here is a working example on how to display and scale a marker SVG icon:

Edit:

Another example here with a complex icon:

Edit 2:

And here is how you can have a SVG file as an icon:

Window.Open with PDF stream instead of PDF location

It looks like window.open will take a Data URI as the location parameter.

So you can open it like this from the question: Opening PDF String in new window with javascript:

window.open("data:application/pdf;base64, " + base64EncodedPDF);

Here's an runnable example in plunker, and sample pdf file that's already base64 encoded.

Then on the server, you can convert the byte array to base64 encoding like this:

string fileName = @"C:\TEMP\TEST.pdf";
byte[] pdfByteArray = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(fileName);
string base64EncodedPDF = System.Convert.ToBase64String(pdfByteArray);

NOTE: This seems difficult to implement in IE because the URL length is prohibitively small for sending an entire PDF.

Using a dispatch_once singleton model in Swift

After seeing David's implementation, it seems like there is no need to have a singleton class function instanceMethod since let is doing pretty much the same thing as a sharedInstance class method. All you need to do is declare it as a global constant and that would be it.

let gScopeManagerSharedInstance = ScopeManager()

class ScopeManager {
   // No need for a class method to return the shared instance. Use the gScopeManagerSharedInstance directly. 
}

Update Tkinter Label from variable

The window is only displayed once the mainloop is entered. So you won't see any changes you make in your while True block preceding the line root.mainloop().


GUI interfaces work by reacting to events while in the mainloop. Here's an example where the StringVar is also connected to an Entry widget. When you change the text in the Entry widget it automatically changes in the Label.

from tkinter import *

root = Tk()
var = StringVar()
var.set('hello')

l = Label(root, textvariable = var)
l.pack()

t = Entry(root, textvariable = var)
t.pack()

root.mainloop() # the window is now displayed

I like the following reference: tkinter 8.5 reference: a GUI for Python


Here is a working example of what you were trying to do:

from tkinter import *
from time import sleep

root = Tk()
var = StringVar()
var.set('hello')

l = Label(root, textvariable = var)
l.pack()

for i in range(6):
    sleep(1) # Need this to slow the changes down
    var.set('goodbye' if i%2 else 'hello')
    root.update_idletasks()

root.update Enter event loop until all pending events have been processed by Tcl.

How can the Euclidean distance be calculated with NumPy?

You can easily use the formula

distance = np.sqrt(np.sum(np.square(a-b)))

which does actually nothing more than using Pythagoras' theorem to calculate the distance, by adding the squares of ?x, ?y and ?z and rooting the result.

Count Rows in Doctrine QueryBuilder

For people who are using only Doctrine DBAL and not the Doctrine ORM, they will not be able to access the getQuery() method because it doesn't exists. They need to do something like the following.

$qb = new QueryBuilder($conn);
$count = $qb->select("count(id)")->from($tableName)->execute()->fetchColumn(0);

check if file exists in php

if (!file_exists('http://example.com/images/thumbnail_1286954822.jpg')) {

}

Sorting arraylist in alphabetical order (case insensitive)

The simplest thing to do is:

Collections.sort(list, String.CASE_INSENSITIVE_ORDER);

Simplest Way to Test ODBC on WIndows

You can use the "Test Connection" feature after creating the ODBC connection through Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Data Sources.

To test a SQL command itself you could try:

http://www.sqledit.com/odbc/runner.html

http://www.sqledit.com/sqlrun.zip

Or (perhaps easier and more useful in the long run) you can make a test ASP.NET or PHP page in a couple minutes to run SQL statement yourself through IIS.

Show Hide div if, if statement is true

You can use css or js for hiding a div. In else statement you can write it as:

else{
?>
<style type="text/css">#divId{
display:none;
}</style>
<?php
}

Or in jQuery

else{
?>
<script type="text/javascript">$('#divId').hide()</script>
<?php
}

Or in javascript

else{
?>
<script type="text/javascript">document.getElementById('divId').style.display = 'none';</script>
<?php
}

Observable.of is not a function

What's the difference between fill_parent and wrap_content?

Either attribute can be applied to View's (visual control) horizontal or vertical size. It's used to set a View or Layouts size based on either it's contents or the size of it's parent layout rather than explicitly specifying a dimension.

fill_parent (deprecated and renamed MATCH_PARENT in API Level 8 and higher)

Setting the layout of a widget to fill_parent will force it to expand to take up as much space as is available within the layout element it's been placed in. It's roughly equivalent of setting the dockstyle of a Windows Form Control to Fill.

Setting a top level layout or control to fill_parent will force it to take up the whole screen.

wrap_content

Setting a View's size to wrap_content will force it to expand only far enough to contain the values (or child controls) it contains. For controls -- like text boxes (TextView) or images (ImageView) -- this will wrap the text or image being shown. For layout elements it will resize the layout to fit the controls / layouts added as its children.

It's roughly the equivalent of setting a Windows Form Control's Autosize property to True.

SSH to Elastic Beanstalk instance

Depending on your environment configuration, you may not have a public IP address on the EC2 instance that was created for your environment. You can check by:

  1. Go to the EC2 Console
  2. Find your instance and check the Description tab
  3. If there is no Public IP...
  4. Click Elastic IPs on the Navigation
  5. Click Allocate new address
  6. Choose Amazon for the pool
  7. Click Allocate

Finally, select your new EIP and choose Associate address from the action menu. Associate that IP with your EC2 instance. You should be able to connect using eb ssh now.

You can reset the connection details by running eb ssh --setup.

How to calculate the running time of my program?

Use System.nanoTime to get the current time.

long startTime = System.nanoTime();
.....your program....
long endTime   = System.nanoTime();
long totalTime = endTime - startTime;
System.out.println(totalTime);

The above code prints the running time of the program in nanoseconds.

Why is php not running?

Check out the apache config files. For Debian/Ubuntu theyre in /etc/apache2/sites-available/ for RedHat/CentOS/etc they're in /etc/httpd/conf.d/. If you've just installed it, the file in there is probably named default.

Make sure that the config file in there is pointing to the correct folder and then make sure your scripts are located there.

The line you're looking for in those files is DocumentRoot /path/to/directory.

For a blank install, your php files most likely needs to be in /var/www/.

What you'll also need to do is find your php.ini file, probably located at /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini or /etc/php.ini and find the entry for display_errors and switch it to On.

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

The primary consumers of these properties are user agents such as screen readers for blind people. So in the case with a Bootstrap modal, the modal's div has role="dialog". When the screen reader notices that a div becomes visible which has this role, it'll speak the label for that div.

There are lots of ways to label things (and a few new ones with ARIA), but in some cases it is appropriate to use an existing element as a label (semantic) without using the <label> HTML tag. With HTML modals the label is usually a <h> header. So in the Bootstrap modal case, you add aria-labelledby=[IDofModalHeader], and the screen reader will speak that header when the modal appears.

Generally speaking a screen reader is going to notice whenever DOM elements become visible or invisible, so the aria-hidden property is frequently redundant and can probably be skipped in most cases.

Determine the line of code that causes a segmentation fault?

You could also use a core dump and then examine it with gdb. To get useful information you also need to compile with the -g flag.

Whenever you get the message:

 Segmentation fault (core dumped)

a core file is written into your current directory. And you can examine it with the command

 gdb your_program core_file

The file contains the state of the memory when the program crashed. A core dump can be useful during the deployment of your software.

Make sure your system doesn't set the core dump file size to zero. You can set it to unlimited with:

ulimit -c unlimited

Careful though! that core dumps can become huge.

How to hide app title in android?

You can do it programatically:

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Window;
import android.view.WindowManager;

public class ActivityName extends Activity {
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        // remove title
        requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
        getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
            WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
    }
}

Or you can do it via your AndroidManifest.xml file:

<activity android:name=".ActivityName"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen">
</activity>

Edit: I added some lines so that you can show it in fullscreen, as it seems that's what you want.

How to play video with AVPlayerViewController (AVKit) in Swift

Swift 5

  @IBAction func buttonPressed(_ sender: Any) {
    let videoURL = course.introductionVideoURL
    let player = AVPlayer(url: videoURL)
    let playerViewController = AVPlayerViewController()
    playerViewController.player = player

    present(playerViewController, animated: true, completion: {

        playerViewController.player!.play()
    })

// here the course includes a model file, inside it I have given the url, so I am calling the function from model using course function.

// also introductionVideoUrl is a URL which I declared inside model .

 var introductionVideoURL: URL

Also alternatively you can use the below code instead of calling the function from model

Replace this code

  let videoURL = course.introductionVideoURL

with

  guard let videoURL = URL(string: "https://something.mp4) else {
        return

How do I scroll to an element using JavaScript?

Here's a function that can include an optional offset for those fixed headers. No external libraries needed.

function scrollIntoView(selector, offset = 0) {
  window.scroll(0, document.querySelector(selector).offsetTop - offset);
}

You can grab the height of an element using JQuery and scroll to it.

var headerHeight = $('.navbar-fixed-top').height();
scrollIntoView('#some-element', headerHeight)

Update March 2018

Scroll to this answer without using JQuery

scrollIntoView('#answer-44786637', document.querySelector('.top-bar').offsetHeight)

How can I get the MAC and the IP address of a connected client in PHP?

In windows, If the user is using your script locally, it will be very simple :

<?php
// get all the informations about the client's network
 $ipconfig =   shell_exec ("ipconfig/all"));  
 // display those informations   
 echo $ipconfig;
/*  
  look for the value of "physical adress"  and use substr() function to 
  retrieve the adress from this long string.
  here in my case i'm using a french cmd.
  you can change the numbers according adress mac position in the string.
*/
 echo   substr(shell_exec ("ipconfig/all"),1821,18); 
?>

Eclipse keyboard shortcut to indent source code to the left?

In my copy, Shift + Tab does this, as long as I have a code selection, and am in a code window.

Are arrays in PHP copied as value or as reference to new variables, and when passed to functions?

With regards to your first question, the array is passed by reference UNLESS it is modified within the method / function you're calling. If you attempt to modify the array within the method / function, a copy of it is made first, and then only the copy is modified. This makes it seem as if the array is passed by value when in actual fact it isn't.

For example, in this first case, even though you aren't defining your function to accept $my_array by reference (by using the & character in the parameter definition), it still gets passed by reference (ie: you don't waste memory with an unnecessary copy).

function handle_array($my_array) {  

    // ... read from but do not modify $my_array
    print_r($my_array);

    // ... $my_array effectively passed by reference since no copy is made
}

However if you modify the array, a copy of it is made first (which uses more memory but leaves your original array unaffected).

function handle_array($my_array) {

    // ... modify $my_array
    $my_array[] = "New value";

    // ... $my_array effectively passed by value since requires local copy
}

FYI - this is known as "lazy copy" or "copy-on-write".

Fixing Xcode 9 issue: "iPhone is busy: Preparing debugger support for iPhone"

For those looking for solution with Apple TV, I just experience the exact problem "Apple TV is busy: Preparing debugger support for Apple TV” with Apple TV 4K with my Macbook Air (Early 2015)

The solution is not to unpair or restart devices. But to switch network. I brought it to a faster and more open network and it works perfectly.

Inserting one list into another list in java?

Citing the official javadoc of List.addAll:

Appends all of the elements in the specified collection to the end of
this list, in the order that they are returned by the specified
collection's iterator (optional operation).  The behavior of this
operation is undefined if the specified collection is modified while
the operation is in progress.  (Note that this will occur if the
specified collection is this list, and it's nonempty.)

So you will copy the references of the objects in list to anotherList. Any method that does not operate on the referenced objects of anotherList (such as removal, addition, sorting) is local to it, and therefore will not influence list.

Leave out quotes when copying from cell

Note:The cause of the quotes is that when data moves from excel to clipboard it is fully complying with CSV standards which include quoting values that include tabs, new lines etc (and double-quote characters are replaced with two double-quote characters )

So another approach, especially as in OP's case when tabs/new lines are due to the formula, is to use alternate characters for tabs and hard returns. I use ascii Unit Separator =char(31) for tabs and ascii Record Separator =char(30) for new lines.

Then pasting into text editor will not involve the extra CSV rules and you can do a quick search and replace to convert them back again.

If the tabs/new lines are embedded in the data, you can do a search and replace in excel to convert them.

Whether using formula or changing the data, the key to choosing delimiters is never use characters that can be in the actual data. This is why I recommend the low level ascii characters.

Converting Go struct to JSON

You need to export the User.name field so that the json package can see it. Rename the name field to Name.

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "encoding/json"
)

type User struct {
    Name string
}

func main() {
    user := &User{Name: "Frank"}
    b, err := json.Marshal(user)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
        return
    }
    fmt.Println(string(b))
}

Output:

{"Name":"Frank"}

Foreach with JSONArray and JSONObject

Make sure you are using this org.json: https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.json/json

if you are using Java 8 then you can use

import org.json.JSONArray;
import org.json.JSONObject;

JSONArray array = ...;

array.forEach(item -> {
    JSONObject obj = (JSONObject) item;
    parse(obj);
});

Just added a simple test to prove that it works:

Add the following dependency into your pom.xml file (To prove that it works, I have used the old jar which was there when I have posted this answer)

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.json</groupId>
    <artifactId>json</artifactId>
    <version>20160810</version>
</dependency>

And the simple test code snippet will be:

import org.json.JSONArray;
import org.json.JSONObject;

public class Test {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        JSONArray array = new JSONArray();

        JSONObject object = new JSONObject();
        object.put("key1", "value1");

        array.put(object);

        array.forEach(item -> {
            System.out.println(item.toString());
        });
    }
}

output:

{"key1":"value1"}

JavaScript: Passing parameters to a callback function

A new version for the scenario where the callback will be called by some other function, not your own code, and you want to add additional parameters.

For example, let's pretend that you have a lot of nested calls with success and error callbacks. I will use angular promises for this example but any javascript code with callbacks would be the same for the purpose.

someObject.doSomething(param1, function(result1) {
  console.log("Got result from doSomething: " + result1);
  result.doSomethingElse(param2, function(result2) {
    console.log("Got result from doSomethingElse: " + result2);
  }, function(error2) {
    console.log("Got error from doSomethingElse: " + error2);
  });
}, function(error1) {
  console.log("Got error from doSomething: " + error1);
});

Now you may want to unclutter your code by defining a function to log errors, keeping the origin of the error for debugging purposes. This is how you would proceed to refactor your code:

someObject.doSomething(param1, function (result1) {
  console.log("Got result from doSomething: " + result1);
  result.doSomethingElse(param2, function (result2) {
    console.log("Got result from doSomethingElse: " + result2);
  }, handleError.bind(null, "doSomethingElse"));
}, handleError.bind(null, "doSomething"));

/*
 * Log errors, capturing the error of a callback and prepending an id
 */
var handleError = function (id, error) {
  var id = id || "";
  console.log("Got error from " + id + ": " + error);
};

The calling function will still add the error parameter after your callback function parameters.

To declare different layouts and bitmaps you'd like to use for the different screens, you must place these alternative resources in separate directories/folders.

This means that if you generate a 200x200 image for xhdpi devices, you should generate the same resource in 150x150 for hdpi, 100x100 for mdpi, and 75x75 for ldpi devices.

Then, place the files in the appropriate drawable resource directory:

MyProject/
    res/
        drawable-xhdpi/
            awesomeimage.png
        drawable-hdpi/
            awesomeimage.png
        drawable-mdpi/
            awesomeimage.png
        drawable-ldpi/
            awesomeimage.png

Any time you reference @drawable/awesomeimage, the system selects the appropriate bitmap based on the screen's density.

Array.Add vs +=

The most common idiom for creating an array without using the inefficient += is something like this, from the output of a loop:

$array = foreach($i in 1..10) { 
  $i
}
$array

Create an array with same element repeated multiple times

I had problems with the mentioned methods when I use an array like

var array = ['foo', 'bar', 'foobar'];
var filled = array.fill(7);

//filled should be ['foo', 'bar', 'foobar', 'foo', 'bar', 'foobar', 'foo']

To get this I'm using:

Array.prototype.fill = function(val){
    var l = this.length;
    if(l < val){
        for(var i = val-1-l; i >= 0; i--){
            this[i+l] = this[i % l];
        }
    }
    return this;
};

Can you get the number of lines of code from a GitHub repository?

You can use GitHub API to get the sloc like the following function

function getSloc(repo, tries) {

    //repo is the repo's path
    if (!repo) {
        return Promise.reject(new Error("No repo provided"));
    }

    //GitHub's API may return an empty object the first time it is accessed
    //We can try several times then stop
    if (tries === 0) {
        return Promise.reject(new Error("Too many tries"));
    }

    let url = "https://api.github.com/repos" + repo + "/stats/code_frequency";

    return fetch(url)
        .then(x => x.json())
        .then(x => x.reduce((total, changes) => total + changes[1] + changes[2], 0))
        .catch(err => getSloc(repo, tries - 1));
}

Personally I made an chrome extension which shows the number of SLOC on both github project list and project detail page. You can also set your personal access token to access private repositories and bypass the api rate limit.

You can download from here https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/github-sloc/fkjjjamhihnjmihibcmdnianbcbccpnn

How can I give the Intellij compiler more heap space?

I was facing "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space" error while building my project using maven install command.

I was able to get rid of it by changing maven runner settings.

Plotting histograms from grouped data in a pandas DataFrame

With recent version of Pandas, you can do df.N.hist(by=df.Letter)

Just like with the solutions above, the axes will be different for each subplot. I have not solved that one yet.

Initializing entire 2D array with one value

char grid[row][col];
memset(grid, ' ', sizeof(grid));

That's for initializing char array elements to space characters.

Android Image View Pinch Zooming

I made my own custom imageview with pinch to zoom. There is no limits/borders on Chirag Ravals code, so user can drag the image off the screen. This will fix it.

Here is the CustomImageView class:

        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:layout_marginBottom="15dp"
        android:layout_marginLeft="15dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="15dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="15dp"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true" 
        android:scaleType="matrix"/> // important

Auto logout with Angularjs based on idle user

I think Buu's digest cycle watch is genius. Thanks for sharing. As others have noted $interval also causes the digest cycle to run. We could for the purpose of auto logging the user out use setInterval which will not cause a digest loop.

app.run(function($rootScope) {
    var lastDigestRun = new Date();
    setInterval(function () {
        var now = Date.now();
        if (now - lastDigestRun > 10 * 60 * 1000) {
          //logout
        }
    }, 60 * 1000);

    $rootScope.$watch(function() {
        lastDigestRun = new Date();
    });
});

Is there a simple way to delete a list element by value?

arr = [1, 1, 3, 4, 5, 2, 4, 3]

# to remove first occurence of that element, suppose 3 in this example
arr.remove(3)

# to remove all occurences of that element, again suppose 3
# use something called list comprehension
new_arr = [element for element in arr if element!=3]

# if you want to delete a position use "pop" function, suppose 
# position 4 
# the pop function also returns a value
removed_element = arr.pop(4)

# u can also use "del" to delete a position
del arr[4]

Enter export password to generate a P12 certificate

OpenSSL command line app does not display any characters when you are entering your password. Just type it then press enter and you will see that it is working.

You can also use openssl pkcs12 -export -inkey mykey.key -in developer_identity.pem -out iphone_dev.p12 -password pass:YourPassword to pass the password YourPassword from command line. Please take a look at section Pass Phrase Options in OpenSSL manual for more information.

Selecting and manipulating CSS pseudo-elements such as ::before and ::after using javascript (or jQuery)

I have something different stuff for you which is easy and effective.

How to create text file and insert data to that file on Android

If you want to create a file and write and append data to it many times, then use the below code, it will create file if not exits and will append data if it exists.

 SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy_MM_dd");
        Date now = new Date();
        String fileName = formatter.format(now) + ".txt";//like 2016_01_12.txt


         try
            {
                File root = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+File.separator+"Music_Folder", "Report Files");
                //File root = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "Notes");
                if (!root.exists()) 
                {
                    root.mkdirs();
                }
                File gpxfile = new File(root, fileName);


                FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(gpxfile,true);
                writer.append(sBody+"\n\n");
                writer.flush();
                writer.close();
                Toast.makeText(this, "Data has been written to Report File", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
            catch(IOException e)
            {
                 e.printStackTrace();

            }

Read a file one line at a time in node.js?

I ended up with a massive, massive memory leak using Lazy to read line by line when trying to then process those lines and write them to another stream due to the way drain/pause/resume in node works (see: http://elegantcode.com/2011/04/06/taking-baby-steps-with-node-js-pumping-data-between-streams/ (i love this guy btw)). I haven't looked closely enough at Lazy to understand exactly why, but I couldn't pause my read stream to allow for a drain without Lazy exiting.

I wrote the code to process massive csv files into xml docs, you can see the code here: https://github.com/j03m/node-csv2xml

If you run the previous revisions with Lazy line it leaks. The latest revision doesn't leak at all and you can probably use it as the basis for a reader/processor. Though I have some custom stuff in there.

Edit: I guess I should also note that my code with Lazy worked fine until I found myself writing large enough xml fragments that drain/pause/resume because a necessity. For smaller chunks it was fine.

SQL distinct for 2 fields in a database

How about simply:

select distinct c1, c2 from t

or

select c1, c2, count(*)
from t
group by c1, c2

'method' object is not subscriptable. Don't know what's wrong

You need to use parentheses: myList.insert([1, 2, 3]). When you leave out the parentheses, python thinks you are trying to access myList.insert at position 1, 2, 3, because that's what brackets are used for when they are right next to a variable.

convert array into DataFrame in Python

In general you can use pandas rename function here. Given your dataframe you could change to a new name like this. If you had more columns you could also rename those in the dictionary. The 0 is the current name of your column

import pandas as pd    
import numpy as np   
e = np.random.normal(size=100)  
e_dataframe = pd.DataFrame(e)      

e_dataframe.rename(index=str, columns={0:'new_column_name'})

How do I run a file on localhost?

Localhost is the computer you're using right now. You run things by typing commands at the command prompt and pressing Enter. If you're asking how to run things from your programming environment, then the answer depends on which environment you're using. Most languages have commands with names like system or exec for running external programs. You need to be more specific about what you're actually looking to do, and what obstacles you've encountered while trying to achieve it.

increment date by one month

function dayOfWeek($date){
    return DateTime::createFromFormat('Y-m-d', $date)->format('N');
}

Usage examples:

echo dayOfWeek(2016-12-22);
// "4"
echo dayOfWeek(date('Y-m-d'));
// "4"

Select first occurring element after another element

Simplyfing for the begginers:

If you want to select an element immediatly after another element you use the + selector.

For example:

div + p The "+" element selects all <p> elements that are placed immediately after <div> elements


If you want to learn more about selectors use this table

Extract matrix column values by matrix column name

Yes. But place your "test" after the comma if you want the column...

> A <- matrix(sample(1:12,12,T),ncol=4)

> rownames(A) <- letters[1:3]

> colnames(A) <- letters[11:14]
> A[,"l"]
 a  b  c 
 6 10  1

CSS Grid Layout not working in IE11 even with prefixes

The answer has been given by Faisal Khurshid and Michael_B already.
This is just an attempt to make a possible solution more obvious.

For IE11 and below you need to enable grid's older specification in the parent div e.g. body or like here "grid" like so:

.grid-parent{display:-ms-grid;}

then define the amount and width of the columns and rows like e.g. so:

.grid-parent{
  -ms-grid-columns: 1fr 3fr;
  -ms-grid-rows: 4fr;
}

finally you need to explicitly tell the browser where your element (item) should be placed in e.g. like so:

.grid-item-1{
  -ms-grid-column: 1;
  -ms-grid-row: 1;
}

.grid-item-2{
  -ms-grid-column: 2;
  -ms-grid-row: 1;
}

What is the meaning of "Failed building wheel for X" in pip install?

It might be helpful to address this question from a package deployment perspective.

There are many tutorials out there that explain how to publish a package to PyPi. Below are a couple I have used;

medium
real python

My experience is that most of these tutorials only have you use the .tar of the source, not a wheel. Thus, when installing packages created using these tutorials, I've received the "Failed to build wheel" error.

I later found the link on PyPi to the Python Software Foundation's docs PSF Docs. I discovered that their setup and build process is slightly different, and does indeed included building a wheel file.

After using the officially documented method, I no longer received the error when installing my packages.

So, the error might simply be a matter of how the developer packaged and deployed the project. None of us were born knowing how to use PyPi, and if they happened upon the wrong tutorial -- well, you can fill in the blanks.

I'm sure that is not the only reason for the error, but I'm willing to bet that is a major reason for it.

How to generate Javadoc from command line

For example if I had an application source code structure that looked like this:

  • C:\b2b\com\steve\util\
  • C:\b2b\com\steve\app\
  • C:\b2b\com\steve\gui\

Then I would do:

javadoc -d "C:\docs" -sourcepath "C:\b2b" -subpackages com

And that should create javadocs for source code of the com package, and all subpackages (recursively), found inside the "C:\b2b" directory.

How do I find the length of an array?

I personally would suggest (if you are unable to work with specialized functions for whatever reason) to first expand the arrays type compatibility past what you would normally use it as (if you were storing values = 0:

unsigned int x[] -> int x[]

than you would make the array 1 element bigger than you need to make it. For the last element you would put some type that is included in the expanded type specifier but that you wouldn't normally use e.g. using the previous example the last element would be -1. This enables you (by using a for loop) to find the last element of an array.

Ajax passing data to php script

Try sending the data like this:

var data = {};
data.album = this.title;

Then you can access it like

$_POST['album']

Notice not a 'GET'

Convert numpy array to tuple

Here's a function that'll do it:

def totuple(a):
    try:
        return tuple(totuple(i) for i in a)
    except TypeError:
        return a

And an example:

>>> array = numpy.array(((2,2),(2,-2)))
>>> totuple(array)
((2, 2), (2, -2))

How to concatenate multiple column values into a single column in Panda dataframe

@derchambers I found one more solution:

import pandas as pd

# make data
df = pd.DataFrame(index=range(1_000_000))
df['1'] = 'CO'
df['2'] = 'BOB'
df['3'] = '01'
df['4'] = 'BILL'

def eval_join(df, columns):

    sum_elements = [f"df['{col}']" for col in list('1234')]
    to_eval = "+ '_' + ".join(sum_elements)

    return eval(to_eval)


#profile
%timeit df3 = eval_join(df, list('1234')) # 504 ms

JavaScript set object key by variable

In ES6, you can do like this.

var key = "name";
var person = {[key]:"John"}; // same as var person = {"name" : "John"}
console.log(person); // should print  Object { name="John"}

_x000D_
_x000D_
    var key = "name";_x000D_
    var person = {[key]:"John"};_x000D_
    console.log(person); // should print  Object { name="John"}
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Its called Computed Property Names, its implemented using bracket notation( square brackets) []

Example: { [variableName] : someValue }

Starting with ECMAScript 2015, the object initializer syntax also supports computed property names. That allows you to put an expression in brackets [], that will be computed and used as the property name.

For ES5, try something like this

var yourObject = {};

yourObject[yourKey] = "yourValue";

console.log(yourObject );

example:

var person = {};
var key = "name";

person[key] /* this is same as person.name */ = "John";

console.log(person); // should print  Object { name="John"}

_x000D_
_x000D_
    var person = {};_x000D_
    var key = "name";_x000D_
    _x000D_
    person[key] /* this is same as person.name */ = "John";_x000D_
    _x000D_
    console.log(person); // should print  Object { name="John"}
_x000D_

Primitive type 'short' - casting in Java

What language are you using?

Many C based languages have a rule that any mathematical expression is performed in size int or larger. Because of this, once you add two shorts the result is of type int. This causes the need for a cast.

How do I check if a cookie exists?

You can call the function getCookie with the name of the cookie you want, then check to see if it is = null.

function getCookie(name) {
    var dc = document.cookie;
    var prefix = name + "=";
    var begin = dc.indexOf("; " + prefix);
    if (begin == -1) {
        begin = dc.indexOf(prefix);
        if (begin != 0) return null;
    }
    else
    {
        begin += 2;
        var end = document.cookie.indexOf(";", begin);
        if (end == -1) {
        end = dc.length;
        }
    }
    // because unescape has been deprecated, replaced with decodeURI
    //return unescape(dc.substring(begin + prefix.length, end));
    return decodeURI(dc.substring(begin + prefix.length, end));
} 

function doSomething() {
    var myCookie = getCookie("MyCookie");

    if (myCookie == null) {
        // do cookie doesn't exist stuff;
    }
    else {
        // do cookie exists stuff
    }
}

Easiest way to parse a comma delimited string to some kind of object I can loop through to access the individual values?

The pattern matches all non-digit characters. This will restrict you to non-negative integers, but for your example it will be more than sufficient.

string input = "0, 10, 20, 30, 100, 200";
Regex.Split(input, @"\D+");

How to emulate a BEFORE INSERT trigger in T-SQL / SQL Server for super/subtype (Inheritance) entities?

While Andriy's proposal will work well for INSERTs of a small number of records, full table scans will be done on the final join as both 'enumerated' and '@new_super' are not indexed, resulting in poor performance for large inserts.

This can be resolved by specifying a primary key on the @new_super table, as follows:

DECLARE @new_super TABLE (
  row_num INT IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED,
  super_id   int
);

This will result in the SQL optimizer scanning through the 'enumerated' table but doing an indexed join on @new_super to get the new key.

How does Python return multiple values from a function?

From Python Cookbook v.30

def myfun():
    return 1, 2, 3

a, b, c = myfun()

Although it looks like myfun() returns multiple values, a tuple is actually being created. It looks a bit peculiar, but it’s actually the comma that forms a tuple, not the parentheses

So yes, what's going on in Python is an internal transformation from multiple comma separated values to a tuple and vice-versa.

Though there's no equivalent in you can easily create this behaviour using array's or some Collections like Lists:

private static int[] sumAndRest(int x, int y) {
    int[] toReturn = new int[2];

    toReturn[0] = x + y;
    toReturn[1] = x - y;

    return toReturn;

}

Executed in this way:

public static void main(String[] args) {
    int[] results = sumAndRest(10, 5);

    int sum  = results[0];
    int rest = results[1];

    System.out.println("sum = " + sum + "\nrest = " + rest);

}

result:

sum = 15
rest = 5

Why can't I display a pound (£) symbol in HTML?

This works in all chrome, IE, Firefox.

In Database > table > field type .for example set the symbol column TO varchar(2) utf8_bin php code:

$symbol = '£';
echo mb_convert_encoding($symbol, 'UTF-8', 'HTML-ENTITIES');
or 
html_entity_decode($symbol, ENT_NOQUOTES, 'UTF-8');

And also make sure set the HTML OR XML encoding to encoding="UTF-8"

Note: You should make sure that database, document type and php code all have a same encoding

How ever the better solution would be using &pound;

How to add trendline in python matplotlib dot (scatter) graphs?

as explained here

With help from numpy one can calculate for example a linear fitting.

# plot the data itself
pylab.plot(x,y,'o')

# calc the trendline
z = numpy.polyfit(x, y, 1)
p = numpy.poly1d(z)
pylab.plot(x,p(x),"r--")
# the line equation:
print "y=%.6fx+(%.6f)"%(z[0],z[1])

What's the difference between nohup and ampersand

There are many cases when small differences between environments can bite you. This is one into which I have ran recently. What is the difference between these two commands?

1 ~ $ nohup myprocess.out &
2 ~ $ myprocess.out &

The answer is the same as usual - it depends.

nohup catches the hangup signal while the ampersand does not.

What is the hangup signal?

SIGHUP - hangup detected on controlling terminal or death of controlling process (value: 1).

Normally, when running a command using & and exiting the shell afterwards, the shell will terminate the sub-command with the hangup signal (like kill -SIGHUP $PID). This can be prevented using nohup, as it catches the signal and ignores it so that it never reaches the actual application.

Fine, but like in this case there are always ‘buts’. There is no difference between these launching methods when the shell is configured in a way where it does not send SIGHUP at all.

In case you are using bash, you can use the command specified below to find out whether your shell sends SIGHUP to its child processes or not:

~ $ shopt | grep hupon

And moreover - there are cases where nohup does not work. For example, when the process you start reconnects the NOHUP signal (it is done inside, on the application code level).

In the described case, lack of differences bit me when inside a custom service launching script there was a call to a second script which sets up and launches the proper application without a nohup command.

On one Linux environment everything worked smoothly, on a second one the application quit as soon as the second script exited (detecting that case, of course took me much more time then you might think :stuck_out_tongue:).

After adding nohup as a launching method to second script, application keeps running even if the scripts will exit and this behavior became consistent on both environments.

How to remove new line characters from data rows in mysql?

Docker is installed but Docker Compose is not ? why?

Refered to the answers given above (I do not have enough reputation to refer separately to individual solutions, hence I do this collectively in this place), I want to supplement them with some important suggestions:

  1. docker-compose you can install from the repository (if you have this package in the repository, if not you can adding to system a repository with this package) or download binary with use curl - totourial on the official website of the project - src: https://docs.docker.com/compose/install /

  2. docker-compose from the repository is in version 1.8.0 (at least at me). This docker-compose version does not support configuration files in version 3. It only has version = <2 support. Inthe official site of the project is a recommendation to use container configuration in version 3 - src: https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose-file / compose-versioning /. From my own experience with work in the docker I recommend using container configurations in version 3 - there are more configuration options to use than in versions <3. If you want to use the configurations configurations in version 3 you have to do update / install docker-compose to the version of at least 1.17 - preferably the latest stable. The official site of the project is toturial how to do this process - src: https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/

  3. when you try to manually remove the old docker-compose binaries, you can have information about the missing file in the default path /usr/local/bin/docker-compose. At my case, docker-compose was in the default path /usr/bin/docker-compose. In this case, I suggest you use the find tool in your system to find binary file docker-compose - example syntax: sudo find / -name 'docker-compose'. It helped me. Thanks to this, I removed the old docker-compose version and added the stable to the system - I use the curl tool to download binary file docker-compose, putting it in the right path and giving it the right permissions - all this process has been described in the posts above.

Apache Proxy: No protocol handler was valid

In my case, all modules were correctly set up (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-apache-http-server-as-reverse-proxy-using-mod_proxy-extension is a good starter) & I had the redirection working for a base url, let's say /mysite/ but I got the errors for any child ULR, let's say /mysite/login/

http://reverse-proxy.dns.com/mysite/ was properly redirected to the remote servers while http://reverse-proxy.dns.com/mysite/login/ failed at the Apache2 reverse proxying with OP's error message.

The issue was the ending / character in the proxypass directive "/mysite/". Working configuration for child URL is :

<Proxy balancer://mysite_cluster>
    BalancerMember http://192.x.x.10:8080/mysite
    BalancerMember http://192.x.x.11:8080/mysite
</Proxy>
<VirtualHost *:80>
    [...]
    ProxyRequests Off
    ProxyPreserveHost On
    ProxyPass "/mysite" "balancer://mysite_cluster"
    ProxyPassReverse "/mysite" "balancer://mysite_cluster"       
</VirtualHost>

Trailing / truly are tricky.

Query to display all tablespaces in a database and datafiles

In oracle, generally speaking, there are number of facts that I will mention in following section:

  • Each database can have many Schema/User (Logical division).
  • Each database can have many tablespaces (Logical division).
  • A schema is the set of objects (tables, indexes, views, etc) that belong to a user.
  • In Oracle, a user can be considered the same as a schema.
  • A database is divided into logical storage units called tablespaces, which group related logical structures together. For example, tablespaces commonly group all of an application’s objects to simplify some administrative operations. You may have a tablespace for application data and an additional one for application indexes.

Therefore, your question, "to see all tablespaces and datafiles belong to SCOTT" is s bit wrong.

However, there are some DBA views encompass information about all database objects, regardless of the owner. Only users with DBA privileges can access these views: DBA_DATA_FILES, DBA_TABLESPACES, DBA_FREE_SPACE, DBA_SEGMENTS.

So, connect to your DB as sysdba and run query through these helpful views. For example this query can help you to find all tablespaces and their data files that objects of your user are located:

SELECT DISTINCT sgm.TABLESPACE_NAME , dtf.FILE_NAME
FROM DBA_SEGMENTS sgm
JOIN DBA_DATA_FILES dtf ON (sgm.TABLESPACE_NAME = dtf.TABLESPACE_NAME)
WHERE sgm.OWNER = 'SCOTT'

Thymeleaf using path variables to th:href

Your code looks syntactically correct, but I think your property doesn't exist to create the URL.

I just tested it, and it works fine for me.

Try using category.idCategory instead of category.id, for example…

  <tr th:each="category : ${categories}">
    <td th:text="${category.idCategory}"></td>
    <td th:text="${category.name}"></td>
    <td>
      <a th:href="@{'/category/edit/' + ${category.idCategory}}">view</a>
    </td>
  </tr>

How to get all child inputs of a div element (jQuery)

static linking only some libraries

Some loaders (linkers) provide switches for turning dynamic loading on and off. If GCC is running on such a system (Solaris - and possibly others), then you can use the relevant option.

If you know which libraries you want to link statically, you can simply specify the static library file in the link line - by full path.

What is the difference between parseInt(string) and Number(string) in JavaScript?

The parseInt function allows you to specify a radix for the input string and is limited to integer values.

parseInt('Z', 36) === 35

The Number constructor called as a function will parse the string with a grammar and is limited to base 10 and base 16.

How to convert jsonString to JSONObject in Java

Using org.json

If you have a String containing JSON format text, then you can get JSON Object by following steps:

String jsonString = "{\"phonetype\":\"N95\",\"cat\":\"WP\"}";
JSONObject jsonObj = null;
    try {
        jsonObj = new JSONObject(jsonString);
    } catch (JSONException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

Now to access the phonetype

Sysout.out.println(jsonObject.getString("phonetype"));

Return list using select new in LINQ

What is being returned is an anonymous type so create a new class with 2 fields

JavaScript get child element

I'd suggest doing something similar to:

function show_sub(cat) {
    if (!cat) {
        return false;
    }
    else if (document.getElementById(cat)) {
        var parent = document.getElementById(cat),
            sub = parent.getElementsByClassName('sub');
        if (sub[0].style.display == 'inline'){
            sub[0].style.display = 'none';
        }
        else {
            sub[0].style.display = 'inline';
        }
    }
}

document.getElementById('cat').onclick = function(){
    show_sub(this.id);
};????

JS Fiddle demo.

Though the above relies on the use of a class rather than a name attribute equal to sub.

As to why your original version "didn't work" (not, I must add, a particularly useful description of the problem), all I can suggest is that, in Chromium, the JavaScript console reported that:

Uncaught TypeError: Object # has no method 'getElementsByName'.

One approach to working around the older-IE family's limitations is to use a custom function to emulate getElementsByClassName(), albeit crudely:

function eBCN(elem,classN){
    if (!elem || !classN){
        return false;
    }
    else {
        var children = elem.childNodes;
        for (var i=0,len=children.length;i<len;i++){
            if (children[i].nodeType == 1
                &&
                children[i].className == classN){
                    var sub = children[i];
            }
        }
        return sub;
    }
}

function show_sub(cat) {
    if (!cat) {
        return false;
    }
    else if (document.getElementById(cat)) {
        var parent = document.getElementById(cat),
            sub = eBCN(parent,'sub');
        if (sub.style.display == 'inline'){
            sub.style.display = 'none';
        }
        else {
            sub.style.display = 'inline';
        }
    }
}

var D = document,
    listElems = D.getElementsByTagName('li');
for (var i=0,len=listElems.length;i<len;i++){
    listElems[i].onclick = function(){
        show_sub(this.id);
    };

The most upvoted answer is not implementing a real slide in/out (or down/up), as:

  1. It's not doing a soft transition on the height attribute. At time zero the element already has the 100% of its height producing a sudden glitch on the elements below it.
  2. When sliding out/up, the element does a translateY(-100%) and then suddenly disappears, causing another glitch on the elements below it.

You can implement a slide in and slide out like so:

my-component.ts

import { animate, style, transition, trigger } from '@angular/animations';

@Component({
  ...
  animations: [
    trigger('slideDownUp', [
      transition(':enter', [style({ height: 0 }), animate(500)]),
      transition(':leave', [animate(500, style({ height: 0 }))]),
    ]),
  ],
})

my-component.html

<div @slideDownUp *ngIf="isShowing" class="box">
  I am the content of the div!
</div>

my-component.scss

.box {
  overflow: hidden;
}

Fastest way to check a string contain another substring in JavaScript?

I've found that using a simple for loop, iterating over all elements in the string and comparing using charAt performs faster than indexOf or Regex. The code and proof is available at JSPerf.

ETA: indexOf and charAt both perform similarly terrible on Chrome Mobile according to Browser Scope data listed on jsperf.com

How to fetch the dropdown values from database and display in jsp

You can learn some tutorials for JSP page direct access database (mysql) here

Notes:

  • import sql tag library in jsp page

    <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/sql" prefix="sql"%>

  • then set datasource on page

    <sql:setDataSource var="ds" driver="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" url="jdbc:mysql://<yourhost>/<yourdb>" user="<user>" password="<password>"/>
    
  • Now query what you want on page

    <sql:query dataSource="${ds}" var="result"> //ref  defined 'ds'
        SELECT * from <your-table>;
    </sql:query>
    
  • Finally you can populate dropdowns on page using c:forEach tag to iterate result rows in select element

    <c:forEach var="row" items="${result.rows}"> //ref set var 'result' <option value='<c:out value="${row.key}"/>'><c:out value="${row.value}"/</option> </c:forEach>

Reverse Contents in Array

The line

arr[i] = temp;

is wrong. (On the first iteration of your loop it sets arr[i] to an undefined value; further iterations set it to an incorrect value.) If you remove this line, your array should be reversed correctly.

After that, you should move the code which prints the reversed array into a new loop which iterates over the whole list. Your current code only prints the first count/2 elements.

int temp, i;
for (i = 0; i < count/2; ++i) {
    temp = arr[count-i-1];
    arr[count-i-1] = arr[i];
    arr[i] = temp;
}
for (i = 0; i < count; ++i) {
    cout << arr[i] << " ";
}

How do I append to a table in Lua

You are looking for the insert function, found in the table section of the main library.

foo = {}
table.insert(foo, "bar")
table.insert(foo, "baz")

Check if an HTML input element is empty or has no value entered by user

getElementById will return false if the element was not found in the DOM.

var el = document.getElementById("customx");
if (el !== null && el.value === "")
{
  //The element was found and the value is empty.
}

Javamail Could not convert socket to TLS GMail

After a full day of search, I disabled Avast for 10 minutes and Windows Firewall (important) and everything started working!

This was my error:

Mail server connection failed; nested exception is javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not convert socket to TLS; nested exception is: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target. Failed messages: javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not convert socket to TLS; nested exception is: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target  

Here is how to fix the issue in Avast 19.8.2393 by adding an exclusion to SMTP port 587 (or whichever port your application uses):

  1. Open Avast

  2. Click on 'Settings'

  3. Click on 'Troubleshooting' and then 'Open old settings'

enter image description here

  1. Click again on 'Troubleshooting', scroll down to 'Redirect settings' and delete the port that your app uses.

enter image description here

In my case, I just removed 587 from SMTP ports.

Now I am able to use Avast and also have my Windows Firewall switched on (no need to add additional exclusion for the Firewall).

Here are my application.properties e-mail properties:

###### I am using a Google App Password which I generated in my Gmail Security settings ######
spring.mail.host = smtp.gmail.com
spring.mail.port = 587
spring.mail.protocol = smtp
spring.mail.username = gmail account
spring.mail.password = password
spring.mail.properties.mail.smtp.auth=true
spring.mail.properties.mail.smtp.starttls.enable=true
spring.mail.properties.mail.smtp.connectiontimeout=5000
spring.mail.properties.mail.smtp.timeout=5000
spring.mail.properties.mail.smtp.writetimeout=5000

How do I remove an array item in TypeScript?

One more solution using Typescript:

let updatedArray = [];
for (let el of this.oldArray) {
    if (el !== elementToRemove) {
        updated.push(el);
    }
}
this.oldArray = updated;

How to reset the state of a Redux store?

If you are using redux-actions, here's a quick workaround using a HOF(Higher Order Function) for handleActions.

import { handleActions } from 'redux-actions';

export function handleActionsEx(reducer, initialState) {
  const enhancedReducer = {
    ...reducer,
    RESET: () => initialState
  };
  return handleActions(enhancedReducer, initialState);
}

And then use handleActionsEx instead of original handleActions to handle reducers.

Dan's answer gives a great idea about this problem, but it didn't work out well for me, because I'm using redux-persist.
When used with redux-persist, simply passing undefined state didn't trigger persisting behavior, so I knew I had to manually remove item from storage (React Native in my case, thus AsyncStorage).

await AsyncStorage.removeItem('persist:root');

or

await persistor.flush(); // or await persistor.purge();

didn't work for me either - they just yelled at me. (e.g., complaining like "Unexpected key _persist ...")

Then I suddenly pondered all I want is just make every individual reducer return their own initial state when RESET action type is encountered. That way, persisting is handled naturally. Obviously without above utility function (handleActionsEx), my code won't look DRY (although it's just a one liner, i.e. RESET: () => initialState), but I couldn't stand it 'cuz I love metaprogramming.

What's the best way to dedupe a table?

delete from yourTable 
where Id not in (
    select min(id) 
    from yourTable
    group by <Unique Columns>
)

where id is whatever is your unique id in the table. (Could be customerNumber or whatever)

If you don't have a Unique Id, you can add one (every SQL table should already have Id as first column, but

ALTER TABLE yourTable
ADD Id int identity(1,1)

Do your delete (above) and then drop the column.

Better than creating a whole new table, or any of the other cryptic stuff I've seen. Note, pretty much the same as in a comment here, but this is what I've done for years.

Convert date from String to Date format in Dataframes

Use to_date with Java SimpleDateFormat.

TO_DATE(CAST(UNIX_TIMESTAMP(date, 'MM/dd/yyyy') AS TIMESTAMP))

Example:

spark.sql("""
  SELECT TO_DATE(CAST(UNIX_TIMESTAMP('08/26/2016', 'MM/dd/yyyy') AS TIMESTAMP)) AS newdate"""
).show()

Resolve Javascript Promise outside function scope

Bit late to the party here, but another way to do it would be to use a Deferred object. You essentially have the same amount of boilerplate, but it's handy if you want to pass them around and possibly resolve outside of their definition.

Naive Implementation:

class Deferred {
  constructor() {
    this.promise = new Promise((resolve, reject)=> {
      this.reject = reject
      this.resolve = resolve
    })
  }
}

function asyncAction() {
  var dfd = new Deferred()

  setTimeout(()=> {
    dfd.resolve(42)
  }, 500)

  return dfd.promise
}

asyncAction().then(result => {
  console.log(result) // 42
})

ES5 Version:

function Deferred() {
  var self = this;
  this.promise = new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
    self.reject = reject
    self.resolve = resolve
  })
}

function asyncAction() {
  var dfd = new Deferred()

  setTimeout(function() {
    dfd.resolve(42)
  }, 500)

  return dfd.promise
}

asyncAction().then(function(result) {
  console.log(result) // 42
})

Python Decimals format

If you have Python 2.6 or newer, use format:

'{0:.3g}'.format(num)

For Python 2.5 or older:

'%.3g'%(num)

Explanation:

{0}tells format to print the first argument -- in this case, num.

Everything after the colon (:) specifies the format_spec.

.3 sets the precision to 3.

g removes insignificant zeros. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printf#fprintf

For example:

tests=[(1.00, '1'),
       (1.2, '1.2'),
       (1.23, '1.23'),
       (1.234, '1.23'),
       (1.2345, '1.23')]

for num, answer in tests:
    result = '{0:.3g}'.format(num)
    if result != answer:
        print('Error: {0} --> {1} != {2}'.format(num, result, answer))
        exit()
    else:
        print('{0} --> {1}'.format(num,result))

yields

1.0 --> 1
1.2 --> 1.2
1.23 --> 1.23
1.234 --> 1.23
1.2345 --> 1.23

Using Python 3.6 or newer, you could use f-strings:

In [40]: num = 1.234; f'{num:.3g}'
Out[40]: '1.23'

Are multi-line strings allowed in JSON?

I have had to do this for a small Node.js project and found this work-around:

{
 "modify_head": [

  "<script type='text/javascript'>",
  "<!--",
  "  function drawSomeText(id) {",
  "  var pjs = Processing.getInstanceById(id);",
  "  var text = document.getElementById('inputtext').value;",
  "  pjs.drawText(text);}",
  "-->",
  "</script>"

 ],

 "modify_body": [

  "<input type='text' id='inputtext'></input>",
  "<button onclick=drawSomeText('ExampleCanvas')></button>"

 ],
}

This looks quite neat to me, appart from that I have to use double quotes everywhere. Though otherwise, I could, perhaps, use YAML, but that has other pitfalls and is not supported natively. Once parsed, I just use myData.modify_head.join('\n') or myData.modify_head.join(), depending upon whether I want a line break after each string or not.
