How do I push amended commit to the remote Git repository?

I had to fix this problem with pulling from the remote repo and deal with the merge conflicts that arose, commit and then push. But I feel like there is a better way.

How to match all occurrences of a regex

Using scan should do the trick:

string.scan(/regex/)

How does one sum only those rows in excel not filtered out?

When you use autofilter to filter results, Excel doesn't even bother to hide them: it just sets the height of the row to zero (up to 2003 at least, not sure on 2007).

So the following custom function should give you a starter to do what you want (tested with integers, haven't played with anything else):

Function SumVis(r As Range)
    Dim cell As Excel.Range
    Dim total As Variant

    For Each cell In r.Cells
        If cell.Height <> 0 Then
            total = total + cell.Value
        End If
    Next

    SumVis = total
End Function

Edit:

You'll need to create a module in the workbook to put the function in, then you can just call it on your sheet like any other function (=SumVis(A1:A14)). If you need help setting up the module, let me know.

Input group - two inputs close to each other

Combining two inputs, where the group take up all width (100%), and the size is not 50% - 50%, no additional css. I made it nicely by the following code:

How to iterate through LinkedHashMap with lists as values

You can use the entry set and iterate over the entries which allows you to access both, key and value, directly.

for (Entry<String, ArrayList<String>> entry : test1.entrySet() {
     System.out.println(entry.getKey() + "/" + entry.getValue());
}

I tried this but get only returns string

Why do you think so? The method get returns the type E for which the generic type parameter was chosen, in your case ArrayList<String>.

What are the true benefits of ExpandoObject?

Since I wrote the MSDN article you are referring to, I guess I have to answer this one.

First, I anticipated this question and that's why I wrote a blog post that shows a more or less real use case for ExpandoObject: Dynamic in C# 4.0: Introducing the ExpandoObject.

Shortly, ExpandoObject can help you create complex hierarchical objects. For example, imagine that you have a dictionary within a dictionary:

Dictionary<String, object> dict = new Dictionary<string, object>();
Dictionary<String, object> address = new Dictionary<string,object>();
dict["Address"] = address;
address["State"] = "WA";
Console.WriteLine(((Dictionary<string,object>)dict["Address"])["State"]);

The deeper is the hierarchy, the uglier is the code. With ExpandoObject it stays elegant and readable.

dynamic expando = new ExpandoObject();
expando.Address = new ExpandoObject();
expando.Address.State = "WA";
Console.WriteLine(expando.Address.State);

Second, as it was already pointed out, ExpandoObject implements INotifyPropertyChanged interface which gives you more control over properties than a dictionary.

Finally, you can add events to ExpandoObject like here:

class Program
{
   static void Main(string[] args)
   {
       dynamic d = new ExpandoObject();

       // Initialize the event to null (meaning no handlers)
       d.MyEvent = null;

       // Add some handlers
       d.MyEvent += new EventHandler(OnMyEvent);
       d.MyEvent += new EventHandler(OnMyEvent2);

       // Fire the event
       EventHandler e = d.MyEvent;

       e?.Invoke(d, new EventArgs());
   }

   static void OnMyEvent(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
       Console.WriteLine("OnMyEvent fired by: {0}", sender);
   }

   static void OnMyEvent2(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {
       Console.WriteLine("OnMyEvent2 fired by: {0}", sender);
   }
}

Also, keep in mind that nothing is preventing you from accepting event arguments in a dynamic way. In other words, instead of using EventHandler, you can use EventHandler<dynamic> which would cause the second argument of the handler to be dynamic.

SmartGit Installation and Usage on Ubuntu

Seems a bit too late, but there is a PPA repository with SmartGit, enjoy! =)

How can I list (ls) the 5 last modified files in a directory?

Try using head or tail. If you want the 5 most-recently modified files:

ls -1t | head -5

The -1 (that's a one) says one file per line and the head says take the first 5 entries.

If you want the last 5 try

ls -1t | tail -5

How to get first element in a list of tuples?

This is what operator.itemgetter is for.

>>> a = [(1, u'abc'), (2, u'def')]
>>> import operator
>>> b = map(operator.itemgetter(0), a)
>>> b
[1, 2]

The itemgetter statement returns a function that returns the index of the element you specify. It's exactly the same as writing

>>> b = map(lambda x: x[0], a)

But I find that itemgetter is a clearer and more explicit.

This is handy for making compact sort statements. For example,

>>> c = sorted(a, key=operator.itemgetter(0), reverse=True)
>>> c
[(2, u'def'), (1, u'abc')]

Where does Console.WriteLine go in ASP.NET?

This is confusing for everyone when it comes IISExpress. There is nothing to read console messages. So for example, in the ASPCORE MVC apps it configures using appsettings.json which does nothing if you are using IISExpress.

For right now you can just add loggerFactory.AddDebug(LogLevel.Debug); in your Configure section and it will at least show you your logs in the Debug Output window.

Good news CORE 2.0 this will all be changing: https://github.com/aspnet/Announcements/issues/255

Where is SQL Profiler in my SQL Server 2008?

SQL Server Express does not come with profiler, but you can use SQL Server 2005/2008 Express Profiler instead.

Javascript geocoding from address to latitude and longitude numbers not working

Try using this instead:

var latitude = results[0].geometry.location.lat();
var longitude = results[0].geometry.location.lng();

It's bit hard to navigate Google's api but here is the relevant documentation.

One thing I had trouble finding was how to go in the other direction. From coordinates to an address. Here is the code I neded upp using. Please not that I also use jquery.

$.each(results[0].address_components, function(){
    $("#CreateDialog").find('input[name="'+ this.types+'"]').attr('value', this.long_name);
});

What I'm doing is to loop through all the returned address_components and test if their types match any input element names I have in a form. And if they do I set the value of the element to the address_components value.
If you're only interrested in the whole formated address then you can follow Google's example

How can I make a button redirect my page to another page?

you could do so:

<button onclick="location.href='page'">

you could change the action attribute of the form on click the button:

<button class="float-left submit-button" onclick='myFun()'>Home</button>

<script>
myFun(){
$('form').attr('action','new path');
}
</script>

How to view data saved in android database(SQLite)?

You can access this folder using the DDMS for your Emulator. you can't access this location on a real device unless you have a rooted device.

You can view Table structure and Data in Eclipse. Here are the steps

  1. Install SqliteManagerPlugin for Eclipse. Jump to step 5 if you already have it.
  2. Download the *.jar file from here
  3. Put the *.jar file into the folder eclipse/dropins/
  4. Restart eclipse
  5. In the top right of eclipse, click the DDMS icon
  6. Select the proper emulator in the left panel
  7. In the File Explorer tab on the main panel, go to /data/data/[YOUR.APP.NAMESPACE]/databases
  8. Underneath the DDMS icon, there should be a new blue icon of a Database light up when you select your database. Click it and you will see a Questoid Sqlite Manager tab open up to view your data.

*Note: If the database doesn't light up, it may be because your database doesn't have a *.db file extension. Be sure your database is called [DATABASE_NAME].db

*Note: if you want to use a DB without .db-Extension:

  1. Download this Questoid SqLiteBrowser: http://www.java2s.com/Code/JarDownload/com.questoid/com.questoid.sqlitebrowser_1.2.0.jar.zip

  2. Unzip and put it into eclipse/dropins (not Plugins)

How can I pass a parameter in Action?

If you know what parameter you want to pass, take a Action<T> for the type. Example:

void LoopMethod (Action<int> code, int count) {
     for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
         code(i);
     }
}

If you want the parameter to be passed to your method, make the method generic:

void LoopMethod<T> (Action<T> code, int count, T paramater) {
     for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
         code(paramater);
     }
}

And the caller code:

Action<string> s = Console.WriteLine;
LoopMethod(s, 10, "Hello World");

Update. Your code should look like:

private void Include(IList<string> includes, Action<string> action)
{
    if (includes != null)
    {
         foreach (var include in includes)
             action(include);
    }
}

public void test()
{
    Action<string> dg = (s) => {
        _context.Cars.Include(s);
    };
    this.Include(includes, dg);
}

Change Activity's theme programmatically

This one works fine for me :

theme.applyStyle(R.style.AppTheme, true)

Usage:

  override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    //The call goes right after super.onCreate() and before setContentView()
    theme.applyStyle(R.style.AppTheme, true)
    setContentView(layoutId)
    onViewCreated(savedInstanceState)
}

How to pass the id of an element that triggers an `onclick` event to the event handling function

The element that triggered the event can be different than the one you bound the handler to because events bubble up the DOM tree.

So if you want to get the ID of the element the event handler is bound to, you can do this easily with this.id (this refers to the element).

But if you want to get the element where the event originated, then you have to access it with event.target in W3C compatible browsers and event.srcElement in IE 8 and below.

I would avoid writing a lot of JavaScript in the onXXXX HTML attributes. I would only pass the event object and put the code to extract the element in the handler (or in an extra function):

<div onlick="doWithThisElement(event)">

Then the handler would look like this:

function doWithThisElement(event) {
    event = event || window.event; // IE
    var target = event.target || event.srcElement; // IE

    var id = target.id;
    //...
}

I suggest to read the excellent articles about event handling at quirksmode.org.


Btw

<link onclick="doWithThisElement(id_of_this_element)" />

does hardly make sense (<link> is an element that can only appear in the <head>, binding an event handler (if even possible) will have no effect).

What is the volatile keyword useful for?

Volatile Variables are light-weight synchronization. When visibility of latest data among all threads is requirement and atomicity can be compromised , in such situations Volatile Variables must be preferred. Read on volatile variables always return most recent write done by any thread since they are neither cached in registers nor in caches where other processors can not see. Volatile is Lock-Free. I use volatile, when scenario meets criteria as mentioned above.

What is the correct way to create a single-instance WPF application?

From here.

A common use for a cross-process Mutex is to ensure that only instance of a program can run at a time. Here's how it's done:

class OneAtATimePlease {

  // Use a name unique to the application (eg include your company URL)
  static Mutex mutex = new Mutex (false, "oreilly.com OneAtATimeDemo");

  static void Main()
  {
    // Wait 5 seconds if contended – in case another instance
    // of the program is in the process of shutting down.
    if (!mutex.WaitOne(TimeSpan.FromSeconds (5), false))
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Another instance of the app is running. Bye!");
        return;
    }

    try
    {    
        Console.WriteLine("Running - press Enter to exit");
        Console.ReadLine();
    }
    finally
    {
        mutex.ReleaseMutex();
    }    
  }    
}

A good feature of Mutex is that if the application terminates without ReleaseMutex first being called, the CLR will release the Mutex automatically.

How to create exe of a console application

For .net core 2.1 console application, the following approaches worked for me:

1 - from CLI (after building the application and navigating to debug or release folders based on the build type specified):

dotnet appName.dll

2 - from Visual Studio

R.C solution and click publish
'Target location' -> 'configure' ->
   'Deployment Mode' = 'Self-Contained'
   'Target Runtime' = 'win-x64 or win-x86 depending on the OS'

Calculate time difference in Windows batch file

Here is my attempt to measure time difference in batch.

It respects the regional format of %TIME% without taking any assumptions on type of characters for time and decimal separators.

The code is commented but I will also describe it here.

It is flexible so it can also be used to normalize non-standard time values as well

The main function :timediff

:: timediff
:: Input and output format is the same format as %TIME%
:: If EndTime is less than StartTime then:
::   EndTime will be treated as a time in the next day
::   in that case, function measures time difference between a maximum distance of 24 hours minus 1 centisecond
::   time elements can have values greater than their standard maximum value ex: 12:247:853.5214
::   provided than the total represented time does not exceed 24*360000 centiseconds
::   otherwise the result will not be meaningful.
:: If EndTime is greater than or equals to StartTime then:
::   No formal limitation applies to the value of elements,
::   except that total represented time can not exceed 2147483647 centiseconds.

:timediff <outDiff> <inStartTime> <inEndTime>
(
    setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
    set "Input=!%~2! !%~3!"
    for /F "tokens=1,3 delims=0123456789 " %%A in ("!Input!") do set "time.delims=%%A%%B "
)
for /F "tokens=1-8 delims=%time.delims%" %%a in ("%Input%") do (
    for %%A in ("@h1=%%a" "@m1=%%b" "@s1=%%c" "@c1=%%d" "@h2=%%e" "@m2=%%f" "@s2=%%g" "@c2=%%h") do (
        for /F "tokens=1,2 delims==" %%A in ("%%~A") do (
            for /F "tokens=* delims=0" %%B in ("%%B") do set "%%A=%%B"
        )
    )
    set /a "@d=(@h2-@h1)*360000+(@m2-@m1)*6000+(@s2-@s1)*100+(@c2-@c1), @sign=(@d>>31)&1, @d+=(@sign*24*360000), @h=(@d/360000), @d%%=360000, @m=@d/6000, @d%%=6000, @s=@d/100, @c=@d%%100"
)
(
    if %@h% LEQ 9 set "@h=0%@h%"
    if %@m% LEQ 9 set "@m=0%@m%"
    if %@s% LEQ 9 set "@s=0%@s%"
    if %@c% LEQ 9 set "@c=0%@c%"
)
(
    endlocal
    set "%~1=%@h%%time.delims:~0,1%%@m%%time.delims:~0,1%%@s%%time.delims:~1,1%%@c%"
    exit /b
)

Example:

@echo off
setlocal EnableExtensions
set "TIME="

set "Start=%TIME%"
REM Do some stuff here...
set "End=%TIME%"

call :timediff Elapsed Start End
echo Elapsed Time: %Elapsed%

pause
exit /b

:: put the :timediff function here


Explanation of the :timediff function:

function prototype  :timediff <outDiff> <inStartTime> <inEndTime>

Input and output format is the same format as %TIME%

It takes 3 parameters from left to right:

Param1: Name of the environment variable to save the result to.
Param2: Name of the environment variable to be passed to the function containing StartTime string
Param3: Name of the environment variable to be passed to the function containing EndTime string

If EndTime is less than StartTime then:

    EndTime will be treated as a time in the next day
    in that case, the function measures time difference between a maximum distance of 24 hours minus 1 centisecond
    time elements can have values greater than their standard maximum value ex: 12:247:853.5214
    provided than the total represented time does not exceed 24*360000 centiseconds or (24:00:00.00) otherwise the result will not be meaningful.
If EndTime is greater than or equals to StartTime then:
    No formal limitation applies to the value of elements,
    except that total represented time can not exceed 2147483647 centiseconds.


More examples with literal and non-standard time values

    Literal example with EndTime less than StartTime:
@echo off
setlocal EnableExtensions

set "start=23:57:33,12"
set "end=00:02:19,41"

call :timediff dif start end

echo Start Time: %start%
echo End Time:   %end%
echo,
echo Difference: %dif%
echo,

pause
exit /b

:: put the :timediff function here
    Output:
Start Time: 23:57:33,12
End Time:   00:02:19,41

Difference: 00:04:46,29
    Normalize non-standard time:
@echo off
setlocal EnableExtensions

set "start=00:00:00.00"
set "end=27:2457:433.85935"

call :timediff normalized start end

echo,
echo %end% is equivalent to %normalized%
echo,

pause
exit /b

:: put the :timediff function here
    Output:

27:2457:433.85935 is equivalent to 68:18:32.35

    Last bonus example:
@echo off
setlocal EnableExtensions

set "start=00:00:00.00"
set "end=00:00:00.2147483647"

call :timediff normalized start end

echo,
echo 2147483647 centiseconds equals to %normalized%
echo,

pause
exit /b

:: put the :timediff function here
    Output:

2147483647 centiseconds equals to 5965:13:56.47

What causes a SIGSEGV

Wikipedia has the answer, along with a number of other sources.

A segfault basically means you did something bad with pointers. This is probably a segfault:

char *c = NULL;
...
*c; // dereferencing a NULL pointer

Or this:

char *c = "Hello";
...
c[10] = 'z'; // out of bounds, or in this case, writing into read-only memory

Or maybe this:

char *c = new char[10];
...
delete [] c;
...
c[2] = 'z'; // accessing freed memory

Same basic principle in each case - you're doing something with memory that isn't yours.

Sending HTML Code Through JSON

Do Like this

1st put all your HTML content to array, then do json_encode

$html_content="<p>hello this is sample text";
$json_array=array(

'content'=>50,
'html_content'=>$html_content
);
echo json_encode($json_array);

Partly cherry-picking a commit with Git

Building on Mike Monkiewicz answer you can also specify a single or more files to checkout from the supplied sha1/branch.

git checkout -p bc66559 -- path/to/file.java 

This will allow you to interactively pick the changes you want to have applied to your current version of the file.

How to generate List<String> from SQL query?

Loop through the Items and Add to the Collection. You can use the Add method

List<string>items=new List<string>();
using (var con= new SqlConnection("yourConnectionStringHere")
{
    string qry="SELECT Column1 FROM Table1";
    var cmd= new SqlCommand(qry, con);
    cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
    con.Open();
    using (SqlDataReader objReader = cmd.ExecuteReader())
    {
        if (objReader.HasRows)
        {              
            while (objReader.Read())
            {
              //I would also check for DB.Null here before reading the value.
               string item= objReader.GetString(objReader.GetOrdinal("Column1"));
               items.Add(item);                  
            }
        }
    }
}

Bootstrap Dropdown menu is not working

Looks like there is more to be done for Rails 4.

  1. Inside you Gemfile add.

    gem 'bootstrap-sass', '~> 3.2.0.2'

as seen here

  1. Next you need to run

    $bundle install

This is the part no one has mentioned

Open you config/application.rb file

  1. add this right before the second to last end

    config.assets.precompile += %w(*.png *.jpg *.jpeg *.gif)

as seen here about a 20% down the page.

  1. Next create a custom.css.scss file in this directory

    app/assets/stylesheets

as seen here a little further down from the above task

  1. Inside that file include

    @import "bootstrap";


Now stop your server and restart and everything should work fine.

I tried to run bootstrap without using a gem but it didn't work for me.

Hope that helps someone out!

PHP Multiple Checkbox Array

Also remember you can include custom indices to the array sent to the server like this

<form method='post' id='userform' action='thisform.php'>
<tr>
    <td>Trouble Type</td>
    <td>
    <input type='checkbox' name='checkboxvar[4]' value='Option One'>4<br>
    <input type='checkbox' name='checkboxvar[6]' value='Option Two'>6<br>
    <input type='checkbox' name='checkboxvar[9]' value='Option Three'>9
    </td>
</tr>
<input type='submit' class='buttons'>
</form>

This is particularly useful when you want to use the id of individual objects in a server array accounts (for instance) to send data back to the server and recognize same at server

<form method='post' id='userform' action='thisform.php'>
<tr>
    <td>Trouble Type</td>
    <td>
    <?php foreach($accounts as $account) { ?>
        <input type='checkbox' name='accounts[<?php echo $account->id ?>]' value='<?php echo $account->name ?>'>
        <?php echo $account->name ?>
        <br>
    <?php } ?>
    </td>
</tr>
<input type='submit' class='buttons'>
</form>

<?php 
if (isset($_POST['accounts'])) 
{
    print_r($_POST['accounts']); 
}
?>

Why does the 260 character path length limit exist in Windows?

You can mount a folder as a drive. From the command line, if you have a path C:\path\to\long\folder you can map it to drive letter X: using:

subst x: \path\to\long\folder

pandas read_csv index_col=None not working with delimiters at the end of each line

Re: craigts's response, for anyone having trouble with using either False or None parameters for index_col, such as in cases where you're trying to get rid of a range index, you can instead use an integer to specify the column you want to use as the index. For example:

df = pd.read_csv('file.csv', index_col=0)

The above will set the first column as the index (and not add a range index in my "common case").

Update

Given the popularity of this answer, I thought i'd add some context/ a demo:

# Setting up the dummy data
In [1]: df = pd.DataFrame({"A":[1, 2, 3], "B":[4, 5, 6]})

In [2]: df
Out[2]:
   A  B
0  1  4
1  2  5
2  3  6

In [3]: df.to_csv('file.csv', index=None)
File[3]:
A  B
1  4
2  5
3  6

Reading without index_col or with None/False will all result in a range index:

In [4]: pd.read_csv('file.csv')
Out[4]:
   A  B
0  1  4
1  2  5

# Note that this is the default behavior, so the same as In [4]

However, if we specify that "A" (the 0th column) is actually the index, we can avoid the range index:

Java client certificates over HTTPS/SSL

If you are dealing with a web service call using the Axis framework, there is a much simpler answer. If all want is for your client to be able to call the SSL web service and ignore SSL certificate errors, just put this statement before you invoke any web services:

System.setProperty("axis.socketSecureFactory", "org.apache.axis.components.net.SunFakeTrustSocketFactory");

The usual disclaimers about this being a Very Bad Thing to do in a production environment apply.

I found this at the Axis wiki.

How to convert / cast long to String?

Just do this:

String strLong = Long.toString(longNumber);

VIM Disable Automatic Newline At End Of File

OK, you being on Windows complicates things ;)

As the 'binary' option resets the 'fileformat' option (and writing with 'binary' set always writes with unix line endings), let's take out the big hammer and do it externally!

How about defining an autocommand (:help autocommand) for the BufWritePost event? This autocommand is executed after every time you write a whole buffer. In this autocommand call a small external tool (php, perl or whatever script) that strips off the last newline of the just written file.

So this would look something like this and would go into your .vimrc file:

autocmd!   "Remove all autocmds (for current group), see below"
autocmd BufWritePost *.php !your-script <afile>

Be sure to read the whole vim documentation about autocommands if this is your first time dealing with autocommands. There are some caveats, e.g. it's recommended to remove all autocmds in your .vimrc in case your .vimrc might get sourced multiple times.

How to convert list of numpy arrays into single numpy array?

I checked some of the methods for speed performance and find that there is no difference! The only difference is that using some methods you must carefully check dimension.

Timing:

|------------|----------------|-------------------|
|            | shape (10000)  |  shape (1,10000)  |
|------------|----------------|-------------------|
| np.concat  |    0.18280     |      0.17960      |
|------------|----------------|-------------------|
|  np.stack  |    0.21501     |      0.16465      |
|------------|----------------|-------------------|
| np.vstack  |    0.21501     |      0.17181      |
|------------|----------------|-------------------|
|  np.array  |    0.21656     |      0.16833      |
|------------|----------------|-------------------|

As you can see I tried 2 experiments - using np.random.rand(10000) and np.random.rand(1, 10000) And if we use 2d arrays than np.stack and np.array create additional dimension - result.shape is (1,10000,10000) and (10000,1,10000) so they need additional actions to avoid this.

Code:

from time import perf_counter
from tqdm import tqdm_notebook
import numpy as np
l = []
for i in tqdm_notebook(range(10000)):
    new_np = np.random.rand(10000)
    l.append(new_np)



start = perf_counter()
stack = np.stack(l, axis=0 )
print(f'np.stack: {perf_counter() - start:.5f}')

start = perf_counter()
vstack = np.vstack(l)
print(f'np.vstack: {perf_counter() - start:.5f}')

start = perf_counter()
wrap = np.array(l)
print(f'np.array: {perf_counter() - start:.5f}')

start = perf_counter()
l = [el.reshape(1,-1) for el in l]
conc = np.concatenate(l, axis=0 )
print(f'np.concatenate: {perf_counter() - start:.5f}')

Call a python function from jinja2

Never saw such simple way at official docs or at stack overflow, but i was amazed when found this:

def calcName(n, i):
    return ' '.join([n] * i)

template = Template("Hello {{ calcName('Gandalf', 2) }}")

Escaping special characters in Java Regular Expressions

Is there any method in Java or any open source library for escaping (not quoting) a special character (meta-character), in order to use it as a regular expression?

If you are looking for a way to create constants that you can use in your regex patterns, then just prepending them with "\\" should work but there is no nice Pattern.escape('.') function to help with this.

So if you are trying to match "\\d" (the string \d instead of a decimal character) then you would do:

// this will match on \d as opposed to a decimal character
String matchBackslashD = "\\\\d";
// as opposed to
String matchDecimalDigit = "\\d";

The 4 slashes in the Java string turn into 2 slashes in the regex pattern. 2 backslashes in a regex pattern matches the backslash itself. Prepending any special character with backslash turns it into a normal character instead of a special one.

matchPeriod = "\\.";
matchPlus = "\\+";
matchParens = "\\(\\)";
... 

In your post you use the Pattern.quote(string) method. This method wraps your pattern between "\\Q" and "\\E" so you can match a string even if it happens to have a special regex character in it (+, ., \\d, etc.)

Killing a process using Java

On Windows, you could use this command.

taskkill /F /IM <processname>.exe 

To kill it forcefully, you may use;

Runtime.getRuntime().exec("taskkill /F /IM <processname>.exe")

What is difference between functional and imperative programming languages?

Most modern languages are in varying degree both imperative and functional but to better understand functional programming, it will be best to take an example of pure functional language like Haskell in contrast of imperative code in not so functional language like java/C#. I believe it is always easy to explain by example, so below is one.

Functional programming: calculate factorial of n i.e n! i.e n x (n-1) x (n-2) x ...x 2 X 1

-- | Haskell comment goes like
-- | below 2 lines is code to calculate factorial and 3rd is it's execution  

factorial 0 = 1
factorial n = n * factorial (n - 1)
factorial 3

-- | for brevity let's call factorial as f; And x => y shows order execution left to right
-- | above executes as := f(3) as 3 x f(2) => f(2) as 2 x f(1) => f(1) as 1 x f(0) => f(0) as 1  
-- | 3 x (2 x (1 x (1)) = 6

Notice that Haskel allows function overloading to the level of argument value. Now below is example of imperative code in increasing degree of imperativeness:

//somewhat functional way
function factorial(n) {
  if(n < 1) {
     return 1;
  }
  return n * factorial(n-1);   
}
factorial(3);

//somewhat more imperative way
function imperativeFactor(n) {
  int f = 1;
  for(int i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
     f = f * i;
  }
  return f;
}

This read can be a good reference to understand that how imperative code focus more on how part, state of machine (i in for loop), order of execution, flow control.

The later example can be seen as java/C# lang code roughly and first part as limitation of the language itself in contrast of Haskell to overload the function by value (zero) and hence can be said it is not purist functional language, on the other hand you can say it support functional prog. to some extent.

Disclosure: none of the above code is tested/executed but hopefully should be good enough to convey the concept; also I would appreciate comments for any such correction :)

Python pip install fails: invalid command egg_info

I had this issue, as well as some other issues with Brewed Python on OS X v10.9 (Mavericks).

sudo pip install --upgrade setuptools

didn't work for me, and I think my setuptools/distribute setup was botched.

I finally got it to work by running

sudo easy_install -U setuptools

Insert current date/time using now() in a field using MySQL/PHP

These both work fine for me...

<?php
  $db = mysql_connect('localhost','user','pass');
  mysql_select_db('test_db');

  $stmt = "INSERT INTO `test` (`first`,`last`,`whenadded`) VALUES ".
          "('{$first}','{$last}','NOW())";
  $rslt = mysql_query($stmt);

  $stmt = "INSERT INTO `users` (`first`,`last`,`whenadded`) VALUES ".
          "('{$first}', '{$last}', CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)";
  $rslt = mysql_query($stmt);

?>

Side note: mysql_query() is not the best way to connect to MySQL in current versions of PHP.

Creating Duplicate Table From Existing Table

Use this query to create the new table with the values from existing table

CREATE TABLE New_Table_name AS SELECT * FROM Existing_table_Name; 

Now you can get all the values from existing table into newly created table.

Android SDK folder taking a lot of disk space. Do we need to keep all of the System Images?

By deleting all emulator, sometime memory will not be reduce to our expectation. So open below mention path in you c drive

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError no *****.dll in java.library.path

I'm using Mac OS X Yosemite and Netbeans 8.02, I got the same error and the simple solution I have found is like above, this is useful when you need to include native library in the project. So do the next for Netbeans:

1.- Right click on the Project
2.- Properties
3.- Click on RUN
4.- VM Options: java -Djava.library.path="your_path"
5.- for example in my case: java -Djava.library.path=</Users/Lexynux/NetBeansProjects/NAO/libs>
6.- Ok

I hope it could be useful for someone. The link where I found the solution is here: java.library.path – What is it and how to use

Are multiple `.gitignore`s frowned on?

You can have multiple .gitignore, each one of course in its own directory.
To check which gitignore rule is responsible for ignoring a file, use git check-ignore: git check-ignore -v -- afile.

And you can have different version of a .gitignore file per branch: I have already seen that kind of configuration for ensuring one branch ignores a file while the other branch does not: see this question for instance.

If your repo includes several independent projects, it would be best to reference them as submodules though.
That would be the actual best practices, allowing each of those projects to be cloned independently (with their respective .gitignore files), while being referenced by a specific revision in a global parent project.
See true nature of submodules for more.


Note that, since git 1.8.2 (March 2013) you can do a git check-ignore -v -- yourfile in order to see which gitignore run (from which .gitignore file) is applied to 'yourfile', and better understand why said file is ignored.
See "which gitignore rule is ignoring my file?"

'printf' vs. 'cout' in C++

People often claim that printf is much faster. This is largely a myth. I just tested it, with the following results:

cout with only endl                     1461.310252 ms
cout with only '\n'                      343.080217 ms
printf with only '\n'                     90.295948 ms
cout with string constant and endl      1892.975381 ms
cout with string constant and '\n'       416.123446 ms
printf with string constant and '\n'     472.073070 ms
cout with some stuff and endl           3496.489748 ms
cout with some stuff and '\n'           2638.272046 ms
printf with some stuff and '\n'         2520.318314 ms

Conclusion: if you want only newlines, use printf; otherwise, cout is almost as fast, or even faster. More details can be found on my blog.

To be clear, I'm not trying to say that iostreams are always better than printf; I'm just trying to say that you should make an informed decision based on real data, not a wild guess based on some common, misleading assumption.

Update: Here's the full code I used for testing. Compiled with g++ without any additional options (apart from -lrt for the timing).

How can I include a YAML file inside another?

Probably it was not supported when question was asked but you can import other YAML file into one:

imports: [/your_location_to_yaml_file/Util.area.yaml]

Though I don't have any online reference but this works for me.

Aliases in Windows command prompt

Given that you added notepad++.exe to your PATH variable, it's extra simple. Create a file in your System32 folder called np.bat with the following code:

@echo off
call notepad++.exe %*

The %* passes along all arguments you give the np command to the notepad++.exe command.

EDIT: You will need admin access to save files to the System32 folder, which was a bit wonky for me. I just created the file somewhere else and moved it to System32 manually.

Function that creates a timestamp in c#

If you want timestamps that correspond to actual real times BUT also want them to be unique (for a given application instance), you can use the following code:

public class HiResDateTime
{
   private static long lastTimeStamp = DateTime.UtcNow.Ticks;
   public static long UtcNowTicks
   {
       get
       {
           long orig, newval;
           do
           {
               orig = lastTimeStamp;
               long now = DateTime.UtcNow.Ticks;
               newval = Math.Max(now, orig + 1);
           } while (Interlocked.CompareExchange
                        (ref lastTimeStamp, newval, orig) != orig);

           return newval;
       }
   }
}

What command means "do nothing" in a conditional in Bash?

The no-op command in shell is : (colon).

if [ "$a" -ge 10 ]
then
    :
elif [ "$a" -le 5 ]
then
    echo "1"
else
    echo "2"
fi

From the bash manual:

: (a colon)
Do nothing beyond expanding arguments and performing redirections. The return status is zero.

What is the difference between 'git pull' and 'git fetch'?

In simple terms, if you were about to hop onto a plane without any Internet connection...before departing you could just do git fetch origin <branch>. It would fetch all the changes into your computer, but keep it separate from your local development/workspace.

On the plane, you could make changes to your local workspace and then merge it with what you've fetched and resolve potential merge conflicts all without a connection to the Internet. And unless someone had made new changes to the remote repository then once you arrive at the destination you would do git push origin <branch> and go get your coffee.


From this awesome Atlassian tutorial:

The git fetch command downloads commits, files, and refs from a remote repository into your local repository.

Fetching is what you do when you want to see what everybody else has been working on. It’s similar to SVN update in that it lets you see how the central history has progressed, but it doesn’t force you to actually merge the changes into your repository. Git isolates fetched content as a from existing local content, it has absolutely no effect on your local development work. Fetched content has to be explicitly checked out using the git checkout command. This makes fetching a safe way to review commits before integrating them with your local repository.

When downloading content from a remote repository, git pull and git fetch commands are available to accomplish the task. You can consider git fetch the 'safe' version of the two commands. It will download the remote content, but not update your local repository's working state, leaving your current work intact. git pull is the more aggressive alternative, it will download the remote content for the active local branch and immediately execute git merge to create a merge commit for the new remote content. If you have pending changes in progress this will cause conflicts and kickoff the merge conflict resolution flow.


With git pull:

  • You don't get any isolation.
  • It doesn't need to be explicitly checked out. Because it implicitly does a git merge.
  • The merging step will affect your local development and may cause conflicts
  • It's basically NOT safe. It's aggressive.
  • Unlike git fetch where it only affects your .git/refs/remotes, git pull will affect both your .git/refs/remotes and .git/refs/heads/

Hmmm...so if I'm not updating the working copy with git fetch, then where am I making changes? Where does Git fetch store the new commits?

Great question. First and foremost, the heads or remotes don't store the new commits. They just have pointers to commits. So with git fetch you download the latest git objects (blob, tree, commits. to fully understand the objects watch this video on git internals, but only update your pointer remotes pointer to point to the latest commit of that branch. It's still isolated from your working copy. because your branch's pointer in the heads directory hasn't updated. It will only update upon a merge/pull. But again where? Let's find out.

In your project directory (i.e., where you do your git commands) do:

  1. ls. This will show the files & directories. Nothing cool, I know.

  2. Now do ls -a. This will show dot files, i.e., files beginning with . You will then be able to see a directory named: .git.

  3. Do cd .git. This will obviously change your directory.

  4. Now comes the fun part; do ls. You will see a list of directories. We're looking for refs. Do cd refs.

  5. It's interesting to see what's inside all directories, but let's focus on two of them. heads and remotes. Use cd to check inside them too.

  6. Any git fetch that you do will update the pointer in the /.git/refs/remotes directory. It won't update anything in the /.git/refs/heads directory.

  7. Any git pull will first do the git fetch, update items in the /.git/refs/remotes directory, then merge with your local and then change the head inside the /.git/refs/heads directory.


A very good related answer can also be found in Where does 'git fetch' place itself?.

Also, look for "Slash notation" from the Git branch naming conventions post. It helps you better understand how Git places things in different directories.


To see the actual difference

Just do:

git fetch origin master
git checkout master

If the remote master was updated you'll get a message like this:

Your branch is behind 'origin/master' by 2 commits, and can be fast-forwarded.
  (use "git pull" to update your local branch)

If you didn't fetch and just did git checkout master then your local git wouldn't know that there are 2 commits added. And it would just say:

Already on 'master'
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.

But that's outdated and incorrect. It's because git will give you feedback solely based on what it knows. It's oblivious to new commits that it hasn't pulled down yet...


Is there any way to see the new changes made in remote while working on the branch locally?

Some IDEs (e.g. Xcode) are super smart and use the result of a git fetch and can annotate the lines of code that have been changed in remote branch of your current working branch. If that line has been changed by both local changes and remote branch, then that line gets annotated with red. This isn't a merge conflict. It's a potential merge conflict. It's a headsup that you can use to resolve the future merge conflict before doing git pull from the remote branch.

enter image description here


Fun tip:

If you fetched a remote branch e.g. did:

git fetch origin feature/123

Then this would go into your remotes directory. It's still not available to your local directory. However, it simplifies your checkout to that remote branch by DWIM (Do what I mean):

git checkout feature/123

you no longer need to do:

git checkout -b feature/123 origin/feature/123

Retrieving the COM class factory for component failed

In case it helps somebody:

I am running Windows 7 64-bit and I wanted to register a 32-bit dll.

First I tried: regsvr32 and got the following error:

System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80040154): Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {A1D59B81-C868-4F66-B58F-AC94A4A7982E} failed due to the following error: 80040154.

Then I tried to add the application through the Component Services (Run->DCCOMCNFG) (http://www.justskins.com/forums/difference-registering-dll-using-regsvr32-and-component-services-17280.html) and got the following error:

System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {A1D59B81-C868-4F66-B58F-AC94A4A7982E} failed due to the following error: 80070005.

There are many links to solving it but what worked for me was: Console Root -> Component Services -> Computers -> My Computer -> COM+ Applications -> your_application_name -> Properties: Security tab: Authorization: Uncheck 'Enforce access checks for this application'.

I don't know what it does.

SQL Bulk Insert with FIRSTROW parameter skips the following line

To let SQL handle quote escape and everything else do this

BULK INSERT Test_CSV
FROM  'C:\MyCSV.csv' 
WITH (
 FORMAT='CSV'
 --FIRSTROW = 2,  --uncomment this if your CSV contains header, so start parsing at line 2
);

In regards to other answers, here is valuable info as well:

I keep seeing this in all answers: ROWTERMINATOR = '\n'
The \n means LF and it is Linux style EOL

In Windows the EOL is made of 2 chars CRLF so you need ROWTERMINATOR = '\r\n'

Replacing accented characters php

Adding a little bit to what Lizard said, it worked to display correctly on web page, but added some other codes to complete what I was looking for replacing my tags to search correctly into my database with special characters. Thanks in advance.

How Should I Declare Foreign Key Relationships Using Code First Entity Framework (4.1) in MVC3?

If you have an Order class, adding a property that references another class in your model, for instance Customer should be enough to let EF know there's a relationship in there:

public class Order
{
    public int ID { get; set; }

    // Some other properties

    // Foreign key to customer
    public virtual Customer Customer { get; set; }
}

You can always set the FK relation explicitly:

public class Order
{
    public int ID { get; set; }

    // Some other properties

    // Foreign key to customer
    [ForeignKey("Customer")]
    public string CustomerID { get; set; }
    public virtual Customer Customer { get; set; }
}

The ForeignKeyAttribute constructor takes a string as a parameter: if you place it on a foreign key property it represents the name of the associated navigation property. If you place it on the navigation property it represents the name of the associated foreign key.

What this means is, if you where to place the ForeignKeyAttribute on the Customer property, the attribute would take CustomerID in the constructor:

public string CustomerID { get; set; }
[ForeignKey("CustomerID")]
public virtual Customer Customer { get; set; }

EDIT based on Latest Code You get that error because of this line:

[ForeignKey("Parent")]
public Patient Patient { get; set; }

EF will look for a property called Parent to use it as the Foreign Key enforcer. You can do 2 things:

1) Remove the ForeignKeyAttribute and replace it with the RequiredAttribute to mark the relation as required:

[Required]
public virtual Patient Patient { get; set; }

Decorating a property with the RequiredAttribute also has a nice side effect: The relation in the database is created with ON DELETE CASCADE.

I would also recommend making the property virtual to enable Lazy Loading.

2) Create a property called Parent that will serve as a Foreign Key. In that case it probably makes more sense to call it for instance ParentID (you'll need to change the name in the ForeignKeyAttribute as well):

public int ParentID { get; set; }

In my experience in this case though it works better to have it the other way around:

[ForeignKey("Patient")]
public int ParentID { get; set; }

public virtual Patient Patient { get; set; }

Now run your project again. Hope this will work.

RuntimeWarning: invalid value encountered in divide

To prevent division by zero you could pre-initialize the output 'out' where the div0 error happens, eg np.where does not cut it since the complete line is evaluated regardless of condition.

example with pre-initialization:

a = np.arange(10).reshape(2,5)
a[1,3] = 0
print(a)    #[[0 1 2 3 4], [5 6 7 0 9]]
a[0]/a[1]   # errors at 3/0
out = np.ones( (5) )  #preinit
np.divide(a[0],a[1], out=out, where=a[1]!=0) #only divide nonzeros else 1

Boolean vs tinyint(1) for boolean values in MySQL

Whenever you choose int or bool it matters especially when nullable column comes into play.

Imagine a product with multiple photos. How do you know which photo serves as a product cover? Well, we would use a column that indicates it.

So far out product_image table has two columns: product_id and is_cover

Cool? Not yet. Since the product can have only one cover we need to add a unique index on these two columns.

But wait, if these two column will get an unique index how would you store many non-cover images for the same product? The unique index would throw an error here.

So you may though "Okay, but you can use NULL value since these are ommited by unique index checks", and yes this is truth, but we are loosing linguistic rules here.

What is the purpose of NULL value in boolean type column? Is it "all", "any", or "no"? The null value in boolean column allows us to use the unique index, but it also messes up how we interpret the records.

I would tell that in some cases the integer can serve a better purpose since its not bound to strict true or false meaning

convert json ipython notebook(.ipynb) to .py file

In short: This command-line option converts mynotebook.ipynb to python code:

jupyter nbconvert mynotebook.ipynb --to python

note: this is different from above answer. ipython has been renamed to jupyter. the old executable name (ipython) is deprecated.


More details: jupyter command-line has an nbconvert argument which helps convert notebook files (*.ipynb) to various other formats.

You could even convert it to any one of these formats using the same command but different --to option:

  • asciidoc
  • custom
  • html
  • latex. (Awesome if you want to paste code in conference/journal papers).
  • markdown
  • notebook
  • pdf
  • python
  • rst
  • script
  • slides. (Whooh! Convert to slides for easy presentation )

the same command jupyter nbconvert --to latex mynotebook.ipynb

For more see jupyter nbconvert --help. There are extensive options to this. You could even to execute the code first before converting, different log-level options etc.

How do I check form validity with angularjs?

When you put <form> tag inside you ngApp, AngularJS automatically adds form controller (actually there is a directive, called form that add nessesary behaviour). The value of the name attribute will be bound in your scope; so something like <form name="yourformname">...</form> will satisfy:

A form is an instance of FormController. The form instance can optionally be published into the scope using the name attribute.

So to check form validity, you can check value of $scope.yourformname.$valid property of scope.

More information you can get at Developer's Guide section about forms.

Android Material: Status bar color won't change

Status bar coloring is not supported in AppCompat v7:21.0.0.

From the Android developers blog post

On older platforms, AppCompat emulates the color theming where possible. At the moment this is limited to coloring the action bar and some widgets.

This means the AppCompat lib will only color status bars on Lollipop and above.

NPM Install Error:Unexpected end of JSON input while parsing near '...nt-webpack-plugin":"0'

This command alone solved my problem:

Also you should make sure you are using the correct version of node.

Using nvm to manage the node version:

nvm list; # check your local versions;
nvm install 10.10.0; # install a new remote version;
nvm alias default 10.10.0; # set the 10.10.0 as the default node version, but you have to restart the terminal to make it take effect;

How to read from stdin line by line in Node

readline is specifically designed to work with terminal (that is process.stdin.isTTY === true). There are a lot of modules which provide split functionality for generic streams, like split. It makes things super-easy:

process.stdin.pipe(require('split')()).on('data', processLine)

function processLine (line) {
  console.log(line + '!')
}

Make view 80% width of parent in React Native

As of React Native 0.42 height: and width: accept percentages.

Use width: 80% in your stylesheets and it just works.

  • Screenshot

  • Live Example
    Child Width/Height as Proportion of Parent

  • Code

    const height_proportion = '40%';
    
    const styles = StyleSheet.create({
      screen: {
        flex: 1,
        alignItems: 'center',
        justifyContent: 'center',
        backgroundColor: '#5A9BD4',

How to get `DOM Element` in Angular 2?

Angular 2.0.0 Final:

I have found that using a ViewChild setter is most reliable way to set the initial form control focus:

@ViewChild("myInput")
set myInput(_input: ElementRef | undefined) {
    if (_input !== undefined) {
        setTimeout(() => {
            this._renderer.invokeElementMethod(_input.nativeElement, "focus");
        }, 0);
    }
}

The setter is first called with an undefined value followed by a call with an initialized ElementRef.

Working example and full source here: http://plnkr.co/edit/u0sLLi?p=preview

Using TypeScript 2.0.3 Final/RTM, Angular 2.0.0 Final/RTM, and Chrome 53.0.2785.116 m (64-bit).

UPDATE for Angular 4+

Renderer has been deprecated in favor of Renderer2, but Renderer2 does not have the invokeElementMethod. You will need to access the DOM directly to set the focus as in input.nativeElement.focus().

I'm still finding that the ViewChild setter approach works best. When using AfterViewInit I sometimes get read property 'nativeElement' of undefined error.

@ViewChild("myInput")
set myInput(_input: ElementRef | undefined) {
    if (_input !== undefined) {
        setTimeout(() => { //This setTimeout call may not be necessary anymore.
            _input.nativeElement.focus();
        }, 0);
    }
}

Show Console in Windows Application?

Convert Base64 string to an image file?

An easy way I'm using:

file_put_contents($output_file, file_get_contents($base64_string));

This works well because file_get_contents can read data from a URI, including a data:// URI.

What is the difference between functional and non-functional requirements?

I think functional requirement is from client to developer side that is regarding functionality to the user by the software and non-functional requirement is from developer to client i.e. the requirement is not given by client but it is provided by developer to run the system smoothly e.g. safety, security, flexibility, scalability, availability, etc.

Recreate the default website in IIS

Other answers are basically right, thanks to them I was able to restore my default web site, they're just missing some more or less important details.

This was the complete process to restore the Default Web Site in my case (IIS 7 on Windows 7 64bit):

  1. open IIS Manager
  2. right click Sites node under your machine in the Connections tree on the left side and click Add Website
  3. enter "Default Web Site" as a Site name
  4. set Application pool back to DefaultAppPool!
  5. set Physical path to %SystemDrive%\inetpub\wwwroot
  6. leave Binding and everything else as is

Possible issues:

  1. If the newly created web site cannot be started with the following message:

    Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager - The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070020)

    ...it's possible that port 80 is already assigned to another application (Skype in my case :). You can change the binding port to e.g. 8080 by right clicking Default Web Site and selecting Edit Bindings... and Edit.... See Error 0x80070020 when you try to start a Web site in IIS 7.0 for details. Or you can just close the application sitting on the port 80, of course.

  2. Some applications require Default Web Site to have the ID 1. In my case, it got ID 1 after recreation automatically. If it's not your case, see Re-create “default Website” in IIS after accidentally deleting. It's different for IIS 6 and 7.


Note: I had to recreate the Default Web Site, because I wasn't able to even open a project configured to run under IIS in Visual Studio. I had a solution with a couple of projects inside. One of the projects failed to load with the following error message:

The Web Application Project is configured to use IIS. The Web server 'http://localhost:8080/' could not be found.

After I have recreated the Default Web Site in IIS Manager, I was able to reload and open that specific project.

python pip: force install ignoring dependencies

When I were trying install librosa package with pip (pip install librosa), this error were appeared:

ERROR: Cannot uninstall 'llvmlite'. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall.

I tried to remove llvmlite, but pip uninstall could not remove it. So, I used capability of ignore of pip by this code:

pip install librosa --ignore-installed llvmlite

Indeed, you can use this rule for ignoring a package you don't want to consider:

pip install {package you want to install} --ignore-installed {installed package you don't want to consider}

C++ Remove new line from multiline string

Another way to do it in the for loop

void rm_nl(string &s) {
    for (int p = s.find("\n"); p != (int) string::npos; p = s.find("\n"))
    s.erase(p,1);
}

Usage:

string data = "\naaa\nbbb\nccc\nddd\n";
rm_nl(data); 
cout << data; // data = aaabbbcccddd

AndroidStudio gradle proxy

In my case I am behind a proxy with dynamic settings.

I had to download the settings script by picking the script address from internet settings at
Chrome > Settings > Show Advanced Settings > Change proxy Settings > Internet Properties > Connections > LAN Settings > Use automatic configuration script > Address

Opening this URL in a browser downloads a PAC file which I opened in a text editor

  • Look for a PROXY string, it should contain a hostname and port
  • Copy values into gradle.properties

systemProp.https.proxyHost=blabla.domain.com
systemProp.https.proxyPort=8081

  • I didn't have to specify a user not password.

session not created: This version of ChromeDriver only supports Chrome version 74 error with ChromeDriver Chrome using Selenium

I was really struggling with this mismatch between ChromeDriver v74.0.3729.6 and the Chrome Browser v73.0. I finally found a way to get ChromeDriver to an earlier version,

  1. In Chrome > About Google Chrome, copy the the version number, except for the last group. For instance, 72.0.3626.

  2. Paste that version at the end of this url and visit it. It will come back with a version, which you should copy. https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/LATEST_RELEASE_

  3. Back in the command line, run bundle exec chromedriver-update <copied version>

Where is array's length property defined?

Arrays are special objects in java, they have a simple attribute named length which is final.

There is no "class definition" of an array (you can't find it in any .class file), they're a part of the language itself.

10.7. Array Members

The members of an array type are all of the following:

  • The public final field length, which contains the number of components of the array. length may be positive or zero.
  • The public method clone, which overrides the method of the same name in class Object and throws no checked exceptions. The return type of the clone method of an array type T[] is T[].

    A clone of a multidimensional array is shallow, which is to say that it creates only a single new array. Subarrays are shared.

  • All the members inherited from class Object; the only method of Object that is not inherited is its clone method.

Resources:

How do I use Access-Control-Allow-Origin? Does it just go in between the html head tags?

That is an HTTP header. You would configure your webserver or webapp to send this header ideally. Perhaps in htaccess or PHP.

Alternatively you might be able to use

<head>...<meta http-equiv="Access-Control-Allow-Origin" content="*">...</head>

I do not know if that would work. Not all HTTP headers can be configured directly in the HTML.

This works as an alternative to many HTTP headers, but see @EricLaw's comment below. This particular header is different.

Caveat

This answer is strictly about how to set headers. I do not know anything about allowing cross domain requests.

About HTTP Headers

Every request and response has headers. The browser sends this to the webserver

GET /index.htm HTTP/1.1

Then the headers

Host: www.example.com
User-Agent: (Browser/OS name and version information)
.. Additional headers indicating supported compression types and content types and other info

Then the server sends a response

Content-type: text/html
Content-length: (number of bytes in file (optional))
Date: (server clock)
Server: (Webserver name and version information)

Additional headers can be configured for example Cache-Control, it all depends on your language (PHP, CGI, Java, htaccess) and webserver (Apache, etc).

How to validate phone number using PHP?

Since phone numbers must conform to a pattern, you can use regular expressions to match the entered phone number against the pattern you define in regexp.

php has both ereg and preg_match() functions. I'd suggest using preg_match() as there's more documentation for this style of regex.

An example

$phone = '000-0000-0000';

if(preg_match("/^[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{4}$/", $phone)) {
  // $phone is valid
}

Optimal number of threads per core

The ideal is 1 thread per core, as long as none of the threads will block.

One case where this may not be true: there are other threads running on the core, in which case more threads may give your program a bigger slice of the execution time.

How to do a SUM() inside a case statement in SQL server

You could use a Common Table Expression to create the SUM first, join it to the table, and then use the WHEN to to get the value from the CTE or the original table as necessary.

AS 
(
    SELECT Id, (cnt / SUM(AreaId)) FROM dbo.MyTable GROUP BY Id
)
SELECT 
    CASE
        WHEN o.TotalType = 'Average' THEN r.avgscore
        WHEN o.TotalType = 'PercentOfTot' THEN pt.Percentage
        ELSE o.cnt
    END AS [displayscore]
FROM PercentageOfTotal pt
    JOIN dbo.MyTable t ON pt.Id = t.Id

Linking a qtDesigner .ui file to python/pyqt?

Another way to use .ui in your code is:

from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui, uic
class MyWidget(QtGui.QWidget)
    ...
    #somewhere in constructor:
    uic.loadUi('MyWidget.ui', self)

both approaches are good. Do not forget, that if you use Qt resource files (extremely useful) for icons and so on, you must compile it too:

pyrcc4.exe -o ui/images_rc.py ui/images/images.qrc

Note, when uic compiles interface, it adds 'import images_rc' at the end of .py file, so you must compile resources into the file with this name, or rename it in generated code.

Copy folder recursively in Node.js

I tried fs-extra and copy-dir to copy-folder-recursively. but I want it to

  1. work normally (copy-dir throws an unreasonable error)
  2. provide two arguments in filter: filepath and filetype (fs-extra does't tell filetype)
  3. have a dir-to-subdir check and a dir-to-file check

So I wrote my own:

// Node.js module for Node.js 8.6+
var path = require("path");
var fs = require("fs");

function copyDirSync(src, dest, options) {
  var srcPath = path.resolve(src);
  var destPath = path.resolve(dest);
  if(path.relative(srcPath, destPath).charAt(0) != ".")
    throw new Error("dest path must be out of src path");
  var settings = Object.assign(Object.create(copyDirSync.options), options);
  copyDirSync0(srcPath, destPath, settings);
  function copyDirSync0(srcPath, destPath, settings) {
    var files = fs.readdirSync(srcPath);
    if (!fs.existsSync(destPath)) {
      fs.mkdirSync(destPath);
    }else if(!fs.lstatSync(destPath).isDirectory()) {
      if(settings.overwrite)
        throw new Error(`Cannot overwrite non-directory '${destPath}' with directory '${srcPath}'.`);
      return;
    }
    files.forEach(function(filename) {
      var childSrcPath = path.join(srcPath, filename);
      var childDestPath = path.join(destPath, filename);
      var type = fs.lstatSync(childSrcPath).isDirectory() ? "directory" : "file";
      if(!settings.filter(childSrcPath, type))
        return;
      if (type == "directory") {
        copyDirSync0(childSrcPath, childDestPath, settings);
      } else {
        fs.copyFileSync(childSrcPath, childDestPath, settings.overwrite ? 0 : fs.constants.COPYFILE_EXCL);
        if(!settings.preserveFileDate)
          fs.futimesSync(childDestPath, Date.now(), Date.now());
      }
    });
  }
}
copyDirSync.options = {
  overwrite: true,
  preserveFileDate: true,
  filter: function(filepath, type) {
    return true;
  }
};

And a similar function, mkdirs, which is an alternative to mkdirp:

function mkdirsSync(dest) {
  var destPath = path.resolve(dest);
  mkdirsSync0(destPath);
  function mkdirsSync0(destPath) {
    var parentPath = path.dirname(destPath);
    if(parentPath == destPath)
      throw new Error(`cannot mkdir ${destPath}, invalid root`);
    if (!fs.existsSync(destPath)) {
      mkdirsSync0(parentPath);
      fs.mkdirSync(destPath);
    }else if(!fs.lstatSync(destPath).isDirectory()) {
      throw new Error(`cannot mkdir ${destPath}, a file already exists there`);
    }
  }
}

How to update MySql timestamp column to current timestamp on PHP?

Use this query:

UPDATE `table` SET date_date=now();

Sample code can be:

<?php
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","peter","abc123");
if (!$con)
  {
  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
  }

mysql_select_db("my_db", $con);

mysql_query("UPDATE `table` SET date_date=now()");

mysql_close($con);
?>

console.log(result) returns [object Object]. How do I get result.name?

Use console.log(JSON.stringify(result)) to get the JSON in a string format.

EDIT: If your intention is to get the id and other properties from the result object and you want to see it console to know if its there then you can check with hasOwnProperty and access the property if it does exist:

var obj = {id : "007", name : "James Bond"};
console.log(obj);                    // Object { id: "007", name: "James Bond" }
console.log(JSON.stringify(obj));    //{"id":"007","name":"James Bond"}
if (obj.hasOwnProperty("id")){
    console.log(obj.id);             //007
}

Xcode build failure "Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64"

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

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

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

Why do we need boxing and unboxing in C#?

Boxing is required, when we have a function that needs object as a parameter, but we have different value types that need to be passed, in that case we need to first convert value types to object data types before passing it to the function.

I don't think that is true, try this instead:

class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            int x = 4;
            test(x);
        }

        static void test(object o)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(o.ToString());
        }
    }

That runs just fine, I didn't use boxing/unboxing. (Unless the compiler does that behind the scenes?)

Get element from within an iFrame

None of the other answers were working for me. I ended up creating a function within my iframe that returns the object I was looking for:

function getElementWithinIframe() {
    return document.getElementById('copy-sheet-form');
}

Then you call that function like so to retrieve the element:

var el = document.getElementById("iframeId").contentWindow.functionNameToCall();

Is it possible to specify the schema when connecting to postgres with JDBC?

Don't forget SET SCHEMA 'myschema' which you could use in a separate Statement

SET SCHEMA 'value' is an alias for SET search_path TO value. Only one schema can be specified using this syntax.

And since 9.4 and possibly earlier versions on the JDBC driver, there is support for the setSchema(String schemaName) method.

lambda expression for exists within list

I would look at the Join operator:

from r in list join i in listofIds on r.Id equals i select r

I'm not sure how this would be optimized over the Contains methods, but at least it gives the compiler a better idea of what you're trying to do. It's also sematically closer to what you're trying to achieve.

Edit: Extension method syntax for completeness (now that I've figured it out):

var results = listofIds.Join(list, i => i, r => r.Id, (i, r) => r);

Error in Eclipse: "The project cannot be built until build path errors are resolved"

If not working in any case...then delete your project from the Eclipse workspace and again import as a Maven project if that is a Maven project. Else import as an existing project.

I tried all the previous given solutions, but they didn't work, but it works for me.

Import MySQL database into a MS SQL Server

Converting list to numpy array

If you have a list of lists, you only needed to use ...

import numpy as np
...
npa = np.asarray(someListOfLists, dtype=np.float32)

per this LINK in the scipy / numpy documentation. You just needed to define dtype inside the call to asarray.

Importing a csv into mysql via command line

Another option is to use the csvsql command from the csvkit library.

Example usage directly on command line:

csvsql --db mysql:///test --tables yourtable --insert yourfile.csv

This can be executed directly on the command line, or built into a python or shell script for automation if you need to do this for a number of files.

csvsql allows you to create database tables on the fly based on the structure of your csv, so it is a lite-code way of getting the first row of your csv to automagically be cast as the MySQL table header.

Full documentation and further examples here: https://csvkit.readthedocs.io/en/1.0.3/scripts/csvsql.html

What is the main difference between Inheritance and Polymorphism?

Polymorphism: Suppose you work for a company that sells pens. So you make a very nice class called "Pen" that handles everything that you need to know about a pen. You write all sorts of classes for billing, shipping, creating invoices, all using the Pen class. A day boss comes and says, "Great news! The company is growing and we are selling Books & CD's now!" Not great news because now you have to change every class that uses Pen to also use Book & CD. But what if you had originally created an interface called "SellableProduct", and Pen implemented this interface. Then you could have written all your shipping, invoicing, etc classes to use that interface instead of Pen. Now all you would have to do is create a new class called Book & CompactDisc which implements the SellableProduct interface. Because of polymorphism, all of the other classes could continue to work without change! Make Sense?

So, it means using Inheritance which is one of the way to achieve polymorphism.

Polymorhism can be possible in a class / interface but Inheritance always between 2 OR more classes / interfaces. Inheritance always conform "is-a" relationship whereas it is not always with Polymorphism (which can conform both "is-a" / "has-a" relationship.

How do I pass multiple parameter in URL?

This

url = new URL("http://10.0.2.2:8080/HelloServlet/PDRS?param1="+lat+"&param2="+lon);

must work. For whatever strange reason1, you need ? before the first parameter and & before the following ones.

Using a compound parameter like

url = new URL("http://10.0.2.2:8080/HelloServlet/PDRS?param1="+lat+"_"+lon);

would work, too, but is surely not nice. You can't use a space there as it's prohibited in an URL, but you could encode it as %20 or + (but this is even worse style).


1 Stating that ? separates the path and the parameters and that & separates parameters from each other does not explain anything about the reason. Some RFC says "use ? there and & there", but I can't see why they didn't choose the same character.

How do I disable form fields using CSS?

The practical solution is to use CSS to actually hide the input.

To take this to its natural conclusion, you can write two html inputs for each actual input (one enabled, and one disabled) and then use javascript to control the CSS to show and hide them.

Preventing multiple clicks on button

We can use on and off click for preventing Multiple clicks. i tried it to my application and it's working as expected.

How are cookies passed in the HTTP protocol?

create example script as resp :

#!/bin/bash

http_code=200
mime=text/html

echo -e "HTTP/1.1 $http_code OK\r"

echo
echo "Set-Cookie: name=F"

then make executable and execute like this.

./resp | nc -l -p 12346

open browser and browse URL: http://localhost:1236 you will see Cookie value which is sent by Browser

Dictionary of dictionaries in Python?

Using collections.defaultdict is a big time-saver when you're building dicts and don't know beforehand which keys you're going to have.

Here it's used twice: for the resulting dict, and for each of the values in the dict.

import collections

def aggregate_names(errors):
    result = collections.defaultdict(lambda: collections.defaultdict(list))
    for real_name, false_name, location in errors:
        result[real_name][false_name].append(location)
    return result

Combining this with your code:

dictionary = aggregate_names(previousFunction(string))

Or to test:

EXAMPLES = [
    ('Fred', 'Frad', 123),
    ('Jim', 'Jam', 100),
    ('Fred', 'Frod', 200),
    ('Fred', 'Frad', 300)]
print aggregate_names(EXAMPLES)

Circle line-segment collision detection algorithm?

I just needed that, so I came up with this solution. The language is maxscript, but it should be easily translated to any other language. sideA, sideB and CircleRadius are scalars, the rest of the variables are points as [x,y,z]. I'm assuming z=0 to solve on the plane XY

fn projectPoint p1 p2 p3 = --project  p1 perpendicular to the line p2-p3
(
    local v= normalize (p3-p2)
    local p= (p1-p2)
    p2+((dot v p)*v)
)
fn findIntersectionLineCircle CircleCenter CircleRadius LineP1 LineP2=
(
    pp=projectPoint CircleCenter LineP1 LineP2
    sideA=distance pp CircleCenter
    --use pythagoras to solve the third side
    sideB=sqrt(CircleRadius^2-sideA^2) -- this will return NaN if they don't intersect
    IntersectV=normalize (pp-CircleCenter)
    perpV=[IntersectV.y,-IntersectV.x,IntersectV.z]
    --project the point to both sides to find the solutions
    solution1=pp+(sideB*perpV)
    solution2=pp-(sideB*perpV)
    return #(solution1,solution2)
)

How could others, on a local network, access my NodeJS app while it's running on my machine?

By default node will run on every IP address exposed by the host on which it runs. You don't need to do anything special. You already knew the server runs on a particular port. You can prove this, by using that IP address on a browser on that machine:

http://my-ip-address:port

If that didn't work, you might have your IP address wrong.

How do I make a dictionary with multiple keys to one value?

It is simple. The first thing that you have to understand the design of the Python interpreter. It doesn't allocate memory for all the variables basically if any two or more variable has the same value it just map to that value.

let's go to the code example,

In [6]: a = 10

In [7]: id(a)
Out[7]: 10914656

In [8]: b = 10

In [9]: id(b)
Out[9]: 10914656

In [10]: c = 11

In [11]: id(c)
Out[11]: 10914688

In [12]: d = 21

In [13]: id(d)
Out[13]: 10915008

In [14]: e = 11

In [15]: id(e)
Out[15]: 10914688

In [16]: e = 21

In [17]: id(e)
Out[17]: 10915008

In [18]: e is d
Out[18]: True
In [19]: e = 30

In [20]: id(e)
Out[20]: 10915296

From the above output, variables a and b shares the same memory, c and d has different memory when I create a new variable e and store a value (11) which is already present in the variable c so it mapped to that memory location and doesn't create a new memory when I change the value present in the variable e to 21 which is already present in the variable d so now variables d and e share the same memory location. At last, I change the value in the variable e to 30 which is not stored in any other variable so it creates a new memory for e.

so any variable which is having same value shares the memory.

Not for list and dictionary objects

let's come to your question.

when multiple keys have same value then all shares same memory so the thing that you expect is already there in python.

you can simply use it like this

In [49]: dictionary = {
    ...:     'k1':1,
    ...:     'k2':1,
    ...:     'k3':2,
    ...:     'k4':2}
    ...:     
    ...:     

In [50]: id(dictionary['k1'])
Out[50]: 10914368

In [51]: id(dictionary['k2'])
Out[51]: 10914368

In [52]: id(dictionary['k3'])
Out[52]: 10914400

In [53]: id(dictionary['k4'])
Out[53]: 10914400

From the above output, the key k1 and k2 mapped to the same address which means value one stored only once in the memory which is multiple key single value dictionary this is the thing you want. :P

Drop default constraint on a column in TSQL

I would like to refer a previous question, Because I have faced same problem and solved by this solution. First of all a constraint is always built with a Hash value in it's name. So problem is this HASH is varies in different Machine or Database. For example DF__Companies__IsGlo__6AB17FE4 here 6AB17FE4 is the hash value(8 bit). So I am referring a single script which will be fruitful to all

DECLARE @Command NVARCHAR(MAX)
     declare @table_name nvarchar(256)
     declare @col_name nvarchar(256)
     set @table_name = N'ProcedureAlerts'
     set @col_name = N'EmailSent'

     select @Command ='Alter Table dbo.ProcedureAlerts Drop Constraint [' + ( select d.name
     from 
         sys.tables t
         join sys.default_constraints d on d.parent_object_id = t.object_id
         join sys.columns c on c.object_id = t.object_id
                               and c.column_id = d.parent_column_id
     where 
         t.name = @table_name
         and c.name = @col_name) + ']'

    --print @Command
    exec sp_executesql @Command

It will drop your default constraint. However if you want to create it again you can simply try this

ALTER TABLE [dbo].[ProcedureAlerts] ADD DEFAULT((0)) FOR [EmailSent]

Finally, just simply run a DROP command to drop the column.

How to add an extra row to a pandas dataframe

df = df.T

df
Out[6]: 
       Date   Name Action   ID

Use Robocopy to copy only changed files?

You can use robocopy to copy files with an archive flag and reset the attribute. Use /M command line, this is my backup script with few extra tricks.

This script needs NirCmd tool to keep mouse moving so that my machine won't fall into sleep. Script is using a lockfile to tell when backup script is completed and mousemove.bat script is closed. You may leave this part out.

Another is 7-Zip tool for splitting virtualbox files smaller than 4GB files, my destination folder is still FAT32 so this is mandatory. I should use NTFS disk but haven't converted backup disks yet.

Understanding dispatch_async

All of the DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_X queues are concurrent queues (meaning they can execute multiple tasks at once), and are FIFO in the sense that tasks within a given queue will begin executing using "first in, first out" order. This is in comparison to the main queue (from dispatch_get_main_queue()), which is a serial queue (tasks will begin executing and finish executing in the order in which they are received).

So, if you send 1000 dispatch_async() blocks to DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, those tasks will start executing in the order you sent them into the queue. Likewise for the HIGH, LOW, and BACKGROUND queues. Anything you send into any of these queues is executed in the background on alternate threads, away from your main application thread. Therefore, these queues are suitable for executing tasks such as background downloading, compression, computation, etc.

Note that the order of execution is FIFO on a per-queue basis. So if you send 1000 dispatch_async() tasks to the four different concurrent queues, evenly splitting them and sending them to BACKGROUND, LOW, DEFAULT and HIGH in order (ie you schedule the last 250 tasks on the HIGH queue), it's very likely that the first tasks you see starting will be on that HIGH queue as the system has taken your implication that those tasks need to get to the CPU as quickly as possible.

Note also that I say "will begin executing in order", but keep in mind that as concurrent queues things won't necessarily FINISH executing in order depending on length of time for each task.

As per Apple:

https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/General/Conceptual/ConcurrencyProgrammingGuide/OperationQueues/OperationQueues.html

A concurrent dispatch queue is useful when you have multiple tasks that can run in parallel. A concurrent queue is still a queue in that it dequeues tasks in a first-in, first-out order; however, a concurrent queue may dequeue additional tasks before any previous tasks finish. The actual number of tasks executed by a concurrent queue at any given moment is variable and can change dynamically as conditions in your application change. Many factors affect the number of tasks executed by the concurrent queues, including the number of available cores, the amount of work being done by other processes, and the number and priority of tasks in other serial dispatch queues.

Basically, if you send those 1000 dispatch_async() blocks to a DEFAULT, HIGH, LOW, or BACKGROUND queue they will all start executing in the order you send them. However, shorter tasks may finish before longer ones. Reasons behind this are if there are available CPU cores or if the current queue tasks are performing computationally non-intensive work (thus making the system think it can dispatch additional tasks in parallel regardless of core count).

The level of concurrency is handled entirely by the system and is based on system load and other internally determined factors. This is the beauty of Grand Central Dispatch (the dispatch_async() system) - you just make your work units as code blocks, set a priority for them (based on the queue you choose) and let the system handle the rest.

So to answer your above question: you are partially correct. You are "asking that code" to perform concurrent tasks on a global concurrent queue at the specified priority level. The code in the block will execute in the background and any additional (similar) code will execute potentially in parallel depending on the system's assessment of available resources.

The "main" queue on the other hand (from dispatch_get_main_queue()) is a serial queue (not concurrent). Tasks sent to the main queue will always execute in order and will always finish in order. These tasks will also be executed on the UI Thread so it's suitable for updating your UI with progress messages, completion notifications, etc.

height: calc(100%) not working correctly in CSS

All the parent elements in the hierarchy should have height 100%. Just give max-height:100% to the element and max-height:calc(100% - 90px) to the immediate parent element.

It worked for me on IE also.

html,
body {
    height: 100%
}

parent-element {
    max-height: calc(100% - 90px);
}

element {
    height:100%;
}

The Rendering in IE fails due to failure of Calc when the window is resized or data loaded in DOM. But this method mentioned above worked for me even in IE.

React.js create loop through Array

In CurrentGame component you need to change initial state because you are trying use loop for participants but this property is undefined that's why you get error.,

getInitialState: function(){
    return {
       data: {
          participants: [] 
       }
    };
},

also, as player in .map is Object you should get properties from it

this.props.data.participants.map(function(player) {
   return <li key={player.championId}>{player.summonerName}</li>
   // -------------------^^^^^^^^^^^---------^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
})

How to find common elements from multiple vectors?

intersect_all <- function(a,b,...){
  all_data <- c(a,b,...)
  require(plyr)
  count_data<- length(list(a,b,...))
  freq_dist <- count(all_data)
  intersect_data <- freq_dist[which(freq_dist$freq==count_data),"x"]

Lombok added but getters and setters not recognized in Intellij IDEA

In my case,

  1. Lombok plugin was installed ?
  2. Annotation processor was checked ?

but still I was getting the error as lombok is incompatible and getter and setters was not recognized. with further checking I found that recently my intelliJ version got upgraded and the old Lombok plugin is not compatible.

Go to Preference -> Plugins -> Search lombok and update

OR

Go to Preference -> Plugins -> Search lombok-> Uninstall restart IDE and install again from MarketPlace

What is an efficient way to implement a singleton pattern in Java?

The solution posted by Stu Thompson is valid in Java 5.0 and later. But I would prefer not to use it because I think it is error prone.

It's easy to forget the volatile statement and difficult to understand why it is necessary. Without the volatile this code would not be thread safe any more due to the double-checked locking antipattern. See more about this in paragraph 16.2.4 of Java Concurrency in Practice. In short: This pattern (prior to Java 5.0 or without the volatile statement) could return a reference to the Bar object that is (still) in an incorrect state.

This pattern was invented for performance optimization. But this is really not a real concern any more. The following lazy initialization code is fast and - more importantly - easier to read.

class Bar {
    private static class BarHolder {
        public static Bar bar = new Bar();
    }

    public static Bar getBar() {
        return BarHolder.bar;
    }
}

Calling Non-Static Method In Static Method In Java

I use an interface and create an anonymous instance of it like so:

AppEntryPoint.java

public interface AppEntryPoint
{
    public void entryMethod();
}

Main.java

public class Main
{
    public static AppEntryPoint entryPoint;

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        entryPoint = new AppEntryPoint()
        {

            //You now have an environment to run your app from

            @Override
            public void entryMethod()
            {
                //Do something...
                System.out.println("Hello World!");
            }
        }

        entryPoint.entryMethod();
    }

    public static AppEntryPoint getApplicationEntryPoint()
    {
        return entryPoint;
    }
}

Not as elegant as creating an instance of that class and calling its own method, but accomplishes the same thing, essentially. Just another way to do it.

Spring,Request method 'POST' not supported

Try this

@RequestMapping(value = "proffessional", method = RequestMethod.POST)
    public @ResponseBody
    String forgotPassword(@ModelAttribute("PROFESSIONAL") UserProfessionalForm professionalForm,
            BindingResult result, Model model) {

        UserProfileVO userProfileVO = new UserProfileVO();
        userProfileVO.setUser(sessionData.getUser());
        userService.saveUserProfile(userProfileVO);
        model.addAttribute("professional", professionalForm);
        return "Your Professional Details Updated";
    }

Android: How can I get the current foreground activity (from a service)?

It can be done by:

  1. Implement your own application class, register for ActivityLifecycleCallbacks - this way you can see what is going on with our app. On every on resume the callback assigns the current visible activity on the screen and on pause it removes the assignment. It uses method registerActivityLifecycleCallbacks() which was added in API 14.

    public class App extends Application {
    
    private Activity activeActivity;
    
    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        setupActivityListener();
    }
    
    private void setupActivityListener() {
    registerActivityLifecycleCallbacks(new ActivityLifecycleCallbacks() {
            @Override
            public void onActivityCreated(Activity activity, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            }
            @Override
            public void onActivityStarted(Activity activity) {
            }
            @Override
            public void onActivityResumed(Activity activity) {
                activeActivity = activity;
            }
            @Override
            public void onActivityPaused(Activity activity) {
                activeActivity = null;
            }
            @Override
            public void onActivityStopped(Activity activity) {
            }
            @Override
            public void onActivitySaveInstanceState(Activity activity, Bundle outState) {
            }
            @Override
            public void onActivityDestroyed(Activity activity) {
            }
        });
    }
    
    public Activity getActiveActivity(){
        return activeActivity;
    }
    
    }
    
  2. In your service call getApplication() and cast it to your app class name (App in this case). Than you can call app.getActiveActivity() - that will give you a current visible Activity (or null when no activity is visible). You can get the name of the Activity by calling activeActivity.getClass().getSimpleName()

Check if object is a jQuery object

Check out the instanceof operator.

var isJqueryObject = obj instanceof jQuery

No mapping found for HTTP request with URI.... in DispatcherServlet with name

It is not finding the controllers, this is basic issues. it can be due to following reasons.

A. inside WEB-INF folder you have file web.xml that refers to dispatcherServlet. Here it this case is mvc-config.xml

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>dispatcherServlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
        <param-value>/WEB-INF/mvc-config.xml</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>

B. This mvc-config.xml file have namespaces and it has to scan the controllers.

<context:component-scan base-package="org.vimal.spring.controllers" />
<mvc:annotation-driven />

C. Check for the correctness of the package name where you have the controllers. It should work.

All Controllers must be Annotated with @Controller.

Node.js setting up environment specific configs to be used with everyauth

An elegant way is to use .env file to locally override production settings. No need for command line switches. No need for all those commas and brackets in a config.json file. See my answer here

Example: on my machine the .env file is this:

NODE_ENV=dev
TWITTER_AUTH_TOKEN=something-needed-for-api-calls

My local .env overrides any environment variables. But on the staging or production servers (maybe they're on heroku.com) the environment variables are pre-set to stage NODE_ENV=stage or production NODE_ENV=prod.

How to use OKHTTP to make a post request?

To add okhttp as a dependency do as follows

  • right click on the app on android studio open "module settings"
  • "dependencies"-> "add library dependency" -> "com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:3.10.0" -> add -> ok..

now you have okhttp as a dependency

Now design a interface as below so we can have the callback to our activity once the network response received.

public interface NetworkCallback {

    public void getResponse(String res);
}

I create a class named NetworkTask so i can use this class to handle all the network requests

    public class NetworkTask extends AsyncTask<String , String, String>{

    public NetworkCallback instance;
    public String url ;
    public String json;
    public int task ;
    OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();
    public static final MediaType JSON
            = MediaType.parse("application/json; charset=utf-8");

    public NetworkTask(){

    }

    public NetworkTask(NetworkCallback ins, String url, String json, int task){
        this.instance = ins;
        this.url = url;
        this.json = json;
        this.task = task;
    }


    public String doGetRequest() throws IOException {
        Request request = new Request.Builder()
                .url(url)
                .build();

        Response response = client.newCall(request).execute();
        return response.body().string();
    }

    public String doPostRequest() throws IOException {
        RequestBody body = RequestBody.create(JSON, json);
        Request request = new Request.Builder()
                .url(url)
                .post(body)
                .build();
        Response response = client.newCall(request).execute();
        return response.body().string();
    }

    @Override
    protected String doInBackground(String[] params) {
        try {
            String response = "";
            switch(task){
                case 1 :
                    response = doGetRequest();
                    break;
                case 2:
                    response = doPostRequest();
                    break;

            }
            return response;
        }catch (Exception e){
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(String s) {
        super.onPostExecute(s);
        instance.getResponse(s);
    }
}

now let me show how to get the callback to an activity

    public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements NetworkCallback{
    String postUrl = "http://your-post-url-goes-here";
    String getUrl = "http://your-get-url-goes-here";
    Button doGetRq;
    Button doPostRq;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        Button button = findViewById(R.id.button);

        doGetRq = findViewById(R.id.button2);
    doPostRq = findViewById(R.id.button1);

        doPostRq.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                MainActivity.this.sendPostRq();
            }
        });

        doGetRq.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                MainActivity.this.sendGetRq();
            }
        });
    }

    public void sendPostRq(){
        JSONObject jo = new JSONObject();
        try {
            jo.put("email", "yourmail");
            jo.put("password","password");

        } catch (JSONException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    // 2 because post rq is for the case 2
        NetworkTask t = new NetworkTask(this, postUrl,  jo.toString(), 2);
        t.execute(postUrl);
    }

    public void sendGetRq(){

    // 1 because get rq is for the case 1
        NetworkTask t = new NetworkTask(this, getUrl,  jo.toString(), 1);
        t.execute(getUrl);
    }

    @Override
    public void getResponse(String res) {
    // here is the response from NetworkTask class
    System.out.println(res)
    }
}

Difference between dict.clear() and assigning {} in Python

Mutating methods are always useful if the original object is not in scope:

def fun(d):
    d.clear()
    d["b"] = 2

d={"a": 2}
fun(d)
d          # {'b': 2}

Re-assigning the dictionary would create a new object and wouldn't modify the original one.

Compare two dates in Java

java.time

In Java 8 there is no need to use Joda-Time as it comes with a similar new API in the java.time package. Use the LocalDate class.

LocalDate date = LocalDate.of(2014, 3, 18);
LocalDate today = LocalDate.now();

Boolean isToday = date.isEqual( today );

You can ask for the span of time between the dates with Period class.

Period difference = Period.between(date, today);

LocalDate is comparable using equals and compareTo as it holds no information about Time and Timezone.


About java.time

The java.time framework is built into Java 8 and later. These classes supplant the troublesome old legacy date-time classes such as java.util.Date, Calendar, & SimpleDateFormat.

The Joda-Time project, now in maintenance mode, advises migration to the java.time classes.

To learn more, see the Oracle Tutorial. And search Stack Overflow for many examples and explanations. Specification is JSR 310.

Where to obtain the java.time classes?

The ThreeTen-Extra project extends java.time with additional classes. This project is a proving ground for possible future additions to java.time. You may find some useful classes here such as Interval, YearWeek, YearQuarter, and more.

Spring JPA @Query with LIKE

This way works for me, (using Spring Boot version 2.0.1. RELEASE):

@Query("SELECT u.username FROM User u WHERE u.username LIKE %?1%")
List<String> findUsersWithPartOfName(@Param("username") String username);

Explaining: The ?1, ?2, ?3 etc. are place holders the first, second, third parameters, etc. In this case is enough to have the parameter is surrounded by % as if it was a standard SQL query but without the single quotes.

How to avoid the "Circular view path" exception with Spring MVC test

When running Spring Boot + Freemarker if the page appears:

Whitelabel Error Page This application has no explicit mapping for / error, so you are seeing this as a fallback.

In spring-boot-starter-parent 2.2.1.RELEASE version freemarker does not work:

  1. rename Freemarker files from .ftl to .ftlh
  2. Add to application.properties: spring.freemarker.expose-request-attributes = true

spring.freemarker.suffix = .ftl

How to detect pressing Enter on keyboard using jQuery?

I wrote a small plugin to make it easier to bind the "on enter key pressed" a event:

$.fn.enterKey = function (fnc) {
    return this.each(function () {
        $(this).keypress(function (ev) {
            var keycode = (ev.keyCode ? ev.keyCode : ev.which);
            if (keycode == '13') {
                fnc.call(this, ev);
            }
        })
    })
}

Usage:

$("#input").enterKey(function () {
    alert('Enter!');
})

Convert string date to timestamp in Python

just use datetime.timestamp(your datetime instanse), datetime instance contains the timezone infomation, so the timestamp will be a standard utc timestamp. if you transform the datetime to timetuple, it will lose it's timezone, so the result will be error. if you want to provide an interface, you should write like this: int(datetime.timestamp(time_instance)) * 1000

How to trigger the onclick event of a marker on a Google Maps V3?

For future Googlers, If you get an error similar below after you trigger click for a polygon

"Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'vertex' of undefined"

then try the code below

google.maps.event.trigger(polygon, "click", {});

Make the current commit the only (initial) commit in a Git repository?

To remove the last commit from git, you can simply run

git reset --hard HEAD^ 

If you are removing multiple commits from the top, you can run

git reset --hard HEAD~2 

to remove the last two commits. You can increase the number to remove even more commits.

More info here.

Git tutoturial here provides help on how to purge repository:

you want to remove the file from history and add it to the .gitignore to ensure it is not accidentally re-committed. For our examples, we're going to remove Rakefile from the GitHub gem repository.

git clone https://github.com/defunkt/github-gem.git

cd github-gem

git filter-branch --force --index-filter \
  'git rm --cached --ignore-unmatch Rakefile' \
  --prune-empty --tag-name-filter cat -- --all

Now that we've erased the file from history, let's ensure that we don't accidentally commit it again.

echo "Rakefile" >> .gitignore

git add .gitignore

git commit -m "Add Rakefile to .gitignore"

If you're happy with the state of the repository, you need to force-push the changes to overwrite the remote repository.

git push origin master --force

How to format strings using printf() to get equal length in the output

Additionally, if you want the flexibility of choosing the width, you can choose between one of the following two formats (with or without truncation):

int width = 30;
// No truncation uses %-*s
printf( "%-*s %s\n", width, "Starting initialization...", "Ok." );
// Output is "Starting initialization...     Ok."

// Truncated to the specified width uses %-.*s
printf( "%-.*s %s\n", width, "Starting initialization...", "Ok." );
// Output is "Starting initialization... Ok."

Does VBA contain a comment block syntax?

Although there isn't a syntax, you can still get close by using the built-in block comment buttons:

If you're not viewing the Edit toolbar already, right-click on the toolbar and enable the Edit toolbar:

"Incorrect string value" when trying to insert UTF-8 into MySQL via JDBC?

Its mostly caused due to some unicode characters. In my case it was the Rupee currency symbol.

To quickly fix this, I had to spot the character causing this error. I copy pasted the entire text in a text editor like vi and replaced the troubling character with a text one.

How does database indexing work?

Just a quick suggestion.. As indexing costs you additional writes and storage space, so if your application requires more insert/update operation, you might want to use tables without indexes, but if it requires more data retrieval operations, you should go for indexed table.

Strip first and last character from C string

Another option, again assuming that "edit" means you want to modify in place:

void topntail(char *str) {
    size_t len = strlen(str);
    assert(len >= 2); // or whatever you want to do with short strings
    memmove(str, str+1, len-2);
    str[len-2] = 0;
}

This modifies the string in place, without generating a new address as pmg's solution does. Not that there's anything wrong with pmg's answer, but in some cases it's not what you want.

spring PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer and context:property-placeholder

<context:property-placeholder ... /> is the XML equivalent to the PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer. So, prefer that. The <util:properties/> simply factories a java.util.Properties instance that you can inject.

In Spring 3.1 (not 3.0...) you can do something like this:

@Configuration
@PropertySource("/foo/bar/services.properties")
public class ServiceConfiguration { 

    @Autowired Environment environment; 

    @Bean public javax.sql.DataSource dataSource( ){ 
        String user = this.environment.getProperty("ds.user");
        ...
    } 
}

In Spring 3.0, you can "access" properties defined using the PropertyPlaceHolderConfigurer mechanism using the SpEl annotations:

@Value("${ds.user}") private String user;

If you want to remove the XML all together, simply register the PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer manually using Java configuration. I prefer the 3.1 approach. But, if youre using the Spring 3.0 approach (since 3.1's not GA yet...), you can now define the above XML like this:

@Configuration 
public class MySpring3Configuration {     
        @Bean 
        public static PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer configurer() { 
             PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer ppc = ...
             ppc.setLocations(...);
             return ppc; 
        } 

        @Bean 
        public class DataSource dataSource(
                @Value("${ds.user}") String user, 
                @Value("${ds.pw}") String pw, 
                ...) { 
            DataSource ds = ...
            ds.setUser(user);
            ds.setPassword(pw);                        
            ...
            return ds;
        }
}

Note that the PPC is defined using a static bean definition method. This is required to make sure the bean is registered early, because the PPC is a BeanFactoryPostProcessor - it can influence the registration of the beans themselves in the context, so it necessarily has to be registered before everything else.

How to choose an AES encryption mode (CBC ECB CTR OCB CFB)?

A formal analysis has been done by Phil Rogaway in 2011, here. Section 1.6 gives a summary that I transcribe here, adding my own emphasis in bold (if you are impatient, then his recommendation is use CTR mode, but I suggest that you read my paragraphs about message integrity versus encryption below).

Note that most of these require the IV to be random, which means non-predictable and therefore should be generated with cryptographic security. However, some require only a "nonce", which does not demand that property but instead only requires that it is not re-used. Therefore designs that rely on a nonce are less error prone than designs that do not (and believe me, I have seen many cases where CBC is not implemented with proper IV selection). So you will see that I have added bold when Rogaway says something like "confidentiality is not achieved when the IV is a nonce", it means that if you choose your IV cryptographically secure (unpredictable), then no problem. But if you do not, then you are losing the good security properties. Never re-use an IV for any of these modes.

Also, it is important to understand the difference between message integrity and encryption. Encryption hides data, but an attacker might be able to modify the encrypted data, and the results can potentially be accepted by your software if you do not check message integrity. While the developer will say "but the modified data will come back as garbage after decryption", a good security engineer will find the probability that the garbage causes adverse behaviour in the software, and then he will turn that analysis into a real attack. I have seen many cases where encryption was used but message integrity was really needed more than the encryption. Understand what you need.

I should say that although GCM has both encryption and message integrity, it is a very fragile design: if you re-use an IV, you are screwed -- the attacker can recover your key. Other designs are less fragile, so I personally am afraid to recommend GCM based upon the amount of poor encryption code that I have seen in practice.

If you need both, message integrity and encryption, you can combine two algorithms: usually we see CBC with HMAC, but no reason to tie yourself to CBC. The important thing to know is encrypt first, then MAC the encrypted content, not the other way around. Also, the IV needs to be part of the MAC calculation.

I am not aware of IP issues.

Now to the good stuff from Professor Rogaway:

Block ciphers modes, encryption but not message integrity

ECB: A blockcipher, the mode enciphers messages that are a multiple of n bits by separately enciphering each n-bit piece. The security properties are weak, the method leaking equality of blocks across both block positions and time. Of considerable legacy value, and of value as a building block for other schemes, but the mode does not achieve any generally desirable security goal in its own right and must be used with considerable caution; ECB should not be regarded as a “general-purpose” confidentiality mode.

CBC: An IV-based encryption scheme, the mode is secure as a probabilistic encryption scheme, achieving indistinguishability from random bits, assuming a random IV. Confidentiality is not achieved if the IV is merely a nonce, nor if it is a nonce enciphered under the same key used by the scheme, as the standard incorrectly suggests to do. Ciphertexts are highly malleable. No chosen ciphertext attack (CCA) security. Confidentiality is forfeit in the presence of a correct-padding oracle for many padding methods. Encryption inefficient from being inherently serial. Widely used, the mode’s privacy-only security properties result in frequent misuse. Can be used as a building block for CBC-MAC algorithms. I can identify no important advantages over CTR mode.

CFB: An IV-based encryption scheme, the mode is secure as a probabilistic encryption scheme, achieving indistinguishability from random bits, assuming a random IV. Confidentiality is not achieved if the IV is predictable, nor if it is made by a nonce enciphered under the same key used by the scheme, as the standard incorrectly suggests to do. Ciphertexts are malleable. No CCA-security. Encryption inefficient from being inherently serial. Scheme depends on a parameter s, 1 = s = n, typically s = 1 or s = 8. Inefficient for needing one blockcipher call to process only s bits . The mode achieves an interesting “self-synchronization” property; insertion or deletion of any number of s-bit characters into the ciphertext only temporarily disrupts correct decryption.

OFB: An IV-based encryption scheme, the mode is secure as a probabilistic encryption scheme, achieving indistinguishability from random bits, assuming a random IV. Confidentiality is not achieved if the IV is a nonce, although a fixed sequence of IVs (eg, a counter) does work fine. Ciphertexts are highly malleable. No CCA security. Encryption and decryption inefficient from being inherently serial. Natively encrypts strings of any bit length (no padding needed). I can identify no important advantages over CTR mode.

CTR: An IV-based encryption scheme, the mode achieves indistinguishability from random bits assuming a nonce IV. As a secure nonce-based scheme, the mode can also be used as a probabilistic encryption scheme, with a random IV. Complete failure of privacy if a nonce gets reused on encryption or decryption. The parallelizability of the mode often makes it faster, in some settings much faster, than other confidentiality modes. An important building block for authenticated-encryption schemes. Overall, usually the best and most modern way to achieve privacy-only encryption.

XTS: An IV-based encryption scheme, the mode works by applying a tweakable blockcipher (secure as a strong-PRP) to each n-bit chunk. For messages with lengths not divisible by n, the last two blocks are treated specially. The only allowed use of the mode is for encrypting data on a block-structured storage device. The narrow width of the underlying PRP and the poor treatment of fractional final blocks are problems. More efficient but less desirable than a (wide-block) PRP-secure blockcipher would be.

MACs (message integrity but not encryption)

ALG1–6: A collection of MACs, all of them based on the CBC-MAC. Too many schemes. Some are provably secure as VIL PRFs, some as FIL PRFs, and some have no provable security. Some of the schemes admit damaging attacks. Some of the modes are dated. Key-separation is inadequately attended to for the modes that have it. Should not be adopted en masse, but selectively choosing the “best” schemes is possible. It would also be fine to adopt none of these modes, in favor of CMAC. Some of the ISO 9797-1 MACs are widely standardized and used, especially in banking. A revised version of the standard (ISO/IEC FDIS 9797-1:2010) will soon be released [93].

CMAC: A MAC based on the CBC-MAC, the mode is provably secure (up to the birthday bound) as a (VIL) PRF (assuming the underlying blockcipher is a good PRP). Essentially minimal overhead for a CBCMAC-based scheme. Inherently serial nature a problem in some application domains, and use with a 64-bit blockcipher would necessitate occasional re-keying. Cleaner than the ISO 9797-1 collection of MACs.

HMAC: A MAC based on a cryptographic hash function rather than a blockcipher (although most cryptographic hash functions are themselves based on blockciphers). Mechanism enjoys strong provable-security bounds, albeit not from preferred assumptions. Multiple closely-related variants in the literature complicate gaining an understanding of what is known. No damaging attacks have ever been suggested. Widely standardized and used.

GMAC: A nonce-based MAC that is a special case of GCM. Inherits many of the good and bad characteristics of GCM. But nonce-requirement is unnecessary for a MAC, and here it buys little benefit. Practical attacks if tags are truncated to = 64 bits and extent of decryption is not monitored and curtailed. Complete failure on nonce-reuse. Use is implicit anyway if GCM is adopted. Not recommended for separate standardization.

authenticated encryption (both encryption and message integrity)

CCM: A nonce-based AEAD scheme that combines CTR mode encryption and the raw CBC-MAC. Inherently serial, limiting speed in some contexts. Provably secure, with good bounds, assuming the underlying blockcipher is a good PRP. Ungainly construction that demonstrably does the job. Simpler to implement than GCM. Can be used as a nonce-based MAC. Widely standardized and used.

GCM: A nonce-based AEAD scheme that combines CTR mode encryption and a GF(2128)-based universal hash function. Good efficiency characteristics for some implementation environments. Good provably-secure results assuming minimal tag truncation. Attacks and poor provable-security bounds in the presence of substantial tag truncation. Can be used as a nonce-based MAC, which is then called GMAC. Questionable choice to allow nonces other than 96-bits. Recommend restricting nonces to 96-bits and tags to at least 96 bits. Widely standardized and used.

How can I fix the 'Missing Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) Response Header' webfont issue?

In your HTML you have set a "base" tag:

<base href="http://www.cyclistinsuranceaustralia.com.au/">
  1. Delete that line from your HTML if you don't need it. This should make the fonts work when viewed from http://cyclistinsuranceaustralia.com.au.
  2. You'll probably need to redirect http://www.cyclistinsuranceaustralia.com.au to http://cyclistinsuranceaustralia.com.au

How do I use 3DES encryption/decryption in Java?

Your code was fine except for the Base 64 encoding bit (which you mentioned was a test), the reason the output may not have made sense is that you were displaying a raw byte array (doing toString() on a byte array returns its internal Java reference, not the String representation of the contents). Here's a version that's just a teeny bit cleaned up and which prints "kyle boon" as the decoded string:

import java.security.MessageDigest;
import java.util.Arrays;

import javax.crypto.Cipher;
import javax.crypto.SecretKey;
import javax.crypto.spec.IvParameterSpec;
import javax.crypto.spec.SecretKeySpec;

public class TripleDESTest {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

        String text = "kyle boon";

        byte[] codedtext = new TripleDESTest().encrypt(text);
        String decodedtext = new TripleDESTest().decrypt(codedtext);

        System.out.println(codedtext); // this is a byte array, you'll just see a reference to an array
        System.out.println(decodedtext); // This correctly shows "kyle boon"
    }

    public byte[] encrypt(String message) throws Exception {
        final MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("md5");
        final byte[] digestOfPassword = md.digest("HG58YZ3CR9"
                .getBytes("utf-8"));
        final byte[] keyBytes = Arrays.copyOf(digestOfPassword, 24);
        for (int j = 0, k = 16; j < 8;) {
            keyBytes[k++] = keyBytes[j++];
        }

        final SecretKey key = new SecretKeySpec(keyBytes, "DESede");
        final IvParameterSpec iv = new IvParameterSpec(new byte[8]);
        final Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("DESede/CBC/PKCS5Padding");
        cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, key, iv);

        final byte[] plainTextBytes = message.getBytes("utf-8");
        final byte[] cipherText = cipher.doFinal(plainTextBytes);
        // final String encodedCipherText = new sun.misc.BASE64Encoder()
        // .encode(cipherText);

        return cipherText;
    }

    public String decrypt(byte[] message) throws Exception {
        final MessageDigest md = MessageDigest.getInstance("md5");
        final byte[] digestOfPassword = md.digest("HG58YZ3CR9"
                .getBytes("utf-8"));
        final byte[] keyBytes = Arrays.copyOf(digestOfPassword, 24);
        for (int j = 0, k = 16; j < 8;) {
            keyBytes[k++] = keyBytes[j++];
        }

        final SecretKey key = new SecretKeySpec(keyBytes, "DESede");
        final IvParameterSpec iv = new IvParameterSpec(new byte[8]);
        final Cipher decipher = Cipher.getInstance("DESede/CBC/PKCS5Padding");
        decipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, key, iv);

        // final byte[] encData = new
        // sun.misc.BASE64Decoder().decodeBuffer(message);
        final byte[] plainText = decipher.doFinal(message);

        return new String(plainText, "UTF-8");
    }
}

How to Return partial view of another controller by controller?

The control searches for a view in the following order:

  • First in shared folder
  • Then in the folder matching the current controller (in your case it's Views/DEF)

As you do not have xxx.cshtml in those locations, it returns a "view not found" error.

Solution: You can use the complete path of your view:

Like

 PartialView("~/views/ABC/XXX.cshtml", zyxmodel);

MySQL Insert into multiple tables? (Database normalization?)

For PDO You may do this

$stmt1 = "INSERT INTO users (username, password) VALUES('test', 'test')"; 
$stmt2 = "INSERT INTO profiles (userid, bio, homepage) VALUES('LAST_INSERT_ID(),'Hello world!', 'http://www.stackoverflow.com')";

$sth1 = $dbh->prepare($stmt1);
$sth2 = $dbh->prepare($stmt2);

BEGIN;
$sth1->execute (array ('test','test'));
$sth2->execute (array ('Hello world!','http://www.stackoverflow.com'));
COMMIT;

Removing MySQL 5.7 Completely

You need to remove the /var/lib/mysql folder. Also, purge when you remove the packages (I'm told this helps).

sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql-server mysql-client mysql-common

sudo rm -rf /var/lib/mysql

I was encountering similar issues. The second line got rid of my issues and allowed me to set up MySql from scratch. Hopefully it helps you too!

[string]$directory = [System.IO.Path]::GetDirectoryName($filePath);
[string]$strippedFileName = [System.IO.Path]::GetFileNameWithoutExtension($filePath);
[string]$extension = [System.IO.Path]::GetExtension($filePath);
[string]$newFileName = $strippedFileName + [DateTime]::Now.ToString("yyyyMMdd-HHmmss") + $extension;
[string]$newFilePath = [System.IO.Path]::Combine($directory, $newFileName);

How do I add an active class to a Link from React Router?

Using Jquery for active link:

$(function(){
    $('#nav a').filter(function() {
        return this.href==location.href
    })
    .parent().addClass('active').siblings().removeClass('active')

    $('#nav a').click(function(){
        $(this).parent().addClass('active').siblings().removeClass('active')
    })
});

Use Component life cycle method or document ready function as specified in Jquery.

iPad/iPhone hover problem causes the user to double click a link

I had the following problems with the existing solutions, and found something that seems to solve all of them. This assumes you're aiming for something cross browser, cross device, and don't want device sniffing.

The problems this solves

Using just touchstart or touchend:

  • Causes the event to fire when people are trying to scroll past the content and just happened to have their finger over this element when they starting swiping - triggering the action unexpectedly.
  • May cause the event to fire on longpress, similar to right click on desktop. For example, if your click event goes to URL X, and the user longpresses to open X in a new tab, the user will be confused to find X open in both tabs. On some browsers (e.g. iPhone) it may even prevent the long press menu from appearing.

Triggering mouseover events on touchstart and mouseout on touchmove has less serious consequences, but does interfere with the usual browser behaviour, for example:

  • A long press would trigger a mouseover that never ends.
  • Many Android browsers treat the location of the finger on touchstart like a mouseover, which is mouseouted on the next touchstart. One way to see mouseover content in Android is therefore to touch the area of interest and wiggle your finger, scrolling the page slightly. Treating touchmove as mouseout breaks this.

The solution

In theory, you could just add a flag with touchmove, but iPhones trigger touchmove even if there's no movement. In theory, you could just compare the touchstart and touchend event pageX and pageY but on iPhones, there's no touchend pageX or pageY.

So unfortunately to cover all bases it does end up a little more complicated.

$el.on('touchstart', function(e){
    $el.data('tstartE', e);
    if(event.originalEvent.targetTouches){
        // store values, not reference, since touch obj will change
        var touch = e.originalEvent.targetTouches[0];
        $el.data('tstartT',{ clientX: touch.clientX, clientY: touch.clientY } );
    }
});
$el.on('touchmove', function(e){
    if(event.originalEvent.targetTouches){
        $el.data('tstartM', event.originalEvent.targetTouches[0]);
    }
});

$el.on('click touchend', function(e){
    var oldE = $el.data('tstartE');
    if( oldE && oldE.timeStamp + 1000 < e.timeStamp ) {
        $el.data('tstartE',false);
        return;
    }
    if( $el.data('iosTouchM') && $el.data('tstartT') ){
        var start = $el.data('tstartT'), end = $el.data('tstartM');
        if( start.clientX != end.clientX || start.clientY != end.clientY ){
            $el.data('tstartT', false);
            $el.data('tstartM', false);
            $el.data('tstartE',false);
            return;
        }
    }
    $el.data('tstartE',false);

In theory, there are ways to get the exact time used for a longpress instead of just using 1000 as an approximation, but in practice it's not that simple and it's best to use a reasonable proxy.

Does PHP have threading?

There is the rather obscure, and soon to be deprecated, feature called ticks. The only thing I have ever used it for, is to allow a script to capture SIGKILL (Ctrl+C) and close down gracefully.

Unable to read data from the transport connection : An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

We had a very similar issue whereby a client's website was trying to connect to our Web API service and getting that same message. This started happening completely out of the blue when there had been no code changes or Windows updates on the server where IIS was running.

In our case it turned out that the calling website was using a version of .Net that only supported TLS 1.0 and for some reason the server where our IIS was running stopped appeared to have stopped accepting TLS 1.0 calls. To diagnose that we had to explicitly enable TLS via the registry on the IIS's server and then restart that server. These are the reg keys:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS
    1.0\Client] "DisabledByDefault"=dword:00000000 "Enabled"=dword:00000001

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS
    1.0\Server] "DisabledByDefault"=dword:00000000 "Enabled"=dword:00000001

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS
    1.1\Client] "DisabledByDefault"=dword:00000000 "Enabled"=dword:00000001

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS
    1.1\Server] "DisabledByDefault"=dword:00000000 "Enabled"=dword:00000001

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS
    1.2\Client] "DisabledByDefault"=dword:00000000 "Enabled"=dword:00000001

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\TLS
    1.2\Server] "DisabledByDefault"=dword:00000000 "Enabled"=dword:00000001

If that doesn't do it, you could also experiment with adding the entry for SSL 2.0:


    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\SSL 2.0\Client]
    "DisabledByDefault"=dword:00000000
    "Enabled"=dword:00000001

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols\SSL 2.0\Server]
    "DisabledByDefault"=dword:00000000
    "Enabled"=dword:00000001

My answer to another question here has this powershell script that we used to add the entries:

NOTE: Enabling old security protocols is not a good idea, the right answer in our case was to get the client website to update it's code to use TLS 1.2, but the registry entries above can help diagnose the issue in the first place.

How do I solve this "Cannot read property 'appendChild' of null" error?

Your condition id !== 0 will always be different that zero because you are assigning a string value. On pages where the element with id views_slideshow_controls_text_next_slideshow-block is not found, you will still try to append the img element, which causes the Cannot read property 'appendChild' of null error.

Instead of assigning a string value, you can assign the DOM element and verify if it exists within the page.

window.onload = function loadContIcons() {
    var elem = document.createElement("img");
    elem.src = "http://arno.agnian.com/sites/all/themes/agnian/images/up.png";
    elem.setAttribute("class", "up_icon");

    var container = document.getElementById("views_slideshow_controls_text_next_slideshow-block");
    if (container !== null) {
        container.appendChild(elem);
    } else console.log("aaaaa");

    var elem1 = document.createElement("img");
    elem1.src = "http://arno.agnian.com/sites/all/themes/agnian/images/down.png";
    elem1.setAttribute("class", "down_icon");

    container = document.getElementById("views_slideshow_controls_text_previous_slideshow-block");
    if (container !== null) {
        container.appendChild(elem1);
    } else console.log("aaaaa");
}

Get the first N elements of an array?

array_slice() is best thing to try, following are the examples:

<?php
$input = array("a", "b", "c", "d", "e");

$output = array_slice($input, 2);      // returns "c", "d", and "e"
$output = array_slice($input, -2, 1);  // returns "d"
$output = array_slice($input, 0, 3);   // returns "a", "b", and "c"

// note the differences in the array keys
print_r(array_slice($input, 2, -1));
print_r(array_slice($input, 2, -1, true));
?>

    // To click button for registration when you clicking button "Done" on the keyboard
    [self createMyAccount:self.registrationButton];
}

return YES;

CSS: On hover show and hide different div's at the same time?

Have you tried somethig like this?

.showme{display: none;}
.showhim:hover .showme{display : block;}
.hideme{display:block;}
.showhim:hover .hideme{display:none;}

<div class="showhim">HOVER ME
  <div class="showme">hai</div>
  <div class="hideme">bye</div>
</div>

I dont know any reason why it shouldn't be possible.

Black transparent overlay on image hover with only CSS?

.overlay didn't have a height or width and no content, and you can't hover over display:none.

I instead gave the div the same size and position as .image and changes RGBA value on hover.

http://jsfiddle.net/Zf5am/566/

.image { position: absolute; border: 1px solid black; width: 200px; height: 200px; z-index:1;}
.image img { max-width: 100%; max-height: 100%; }
.overlay { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; background:rgba(255,0,0,0); z-index: 200; width:200px; height:200px; }
.overlay:hover { background:rgba(255,0,0,.7); }

VBA equivalent to Excel's mod function

My way to replicate Excel's MOD(a,b) in VBA is to use XLMod(a,b) in VBA where you include the function:

Function XLMod(a, b)
    ' This replicates the Excel MOD function
    XLMod = a - b * Int(a / b)
End Function

in your VBA Module

Difference between parameter and argument

Argument is often used in the sense of actual argument vs. formal parameter.

The formal parameter is what is given in the function declaration/definition/prototype, while the actual argument is what is passed when calling the function — an instance of a formal parameter, if you will.

That being said, they are often used interchangeably, their exact use depending on different programming languages and their communities. For example, I have also heard actual parameter etc.

So here, x and y would be formal parameters:

int foo(int x, int y) {
    ...
}

Whereas here, in the function call, 5 and z are the actual arguments:

foo(5, z);

how to create insert new nodes in JsonNode?

I've recently found even more interesting way to create any ValueNode or ContainerNode (Jackson v2.3).

ObjectNode node = JsonNodeFactory.instance.objectNode();

List comprehension with if statement

If you use sufficiently big list not in b clause will do a linear search for each of the item in a. Why not use set? Set takes iterable as parameter to create a new set object.

>>> a = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e"]
>>> b = ["c", "d", "f", "g"]
>>> set(a).intersection(set(b))
{'c', 'd'}

Adding custom radio buttons in android

You must fill the "Button" attribute of the "CompoundButton" class with a XML drawable path (my_checkbox). In the XML drawable, you must have :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
    <item android:state_checked="false" android:drawable="@drawable/checkbox_not_checked" />
     <item android:state_checked="true" android:drawable="@drawable/checkbox_checked" />
     <item android:drawable="@drawable/checkbox_not_checked" /> <!-- default -->
</selector>

Don't forget to replace my_checkbox by your filename of the checkbox drawable , checkbox_not_checked by your PNG drawable which is your checkbox when it's not checked and checkbox_checked with your image when it's checked.

For the size, directly update the layout parameters.

How to run TestNG from command line

Prepare MANIFEST.MF file with the following content

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: org.testng.TestNG

Pack all test and dependency classes in the same jar, say tests.jar

jar cmf MANIFEST.MF tests.jar -C folder-with-classes/ .

Notice trailing ".", replace folder-with-classes/ with proper folder name or path.

Create testng.xml with content like below

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE suite SYSTEM "http://testng.org/testng-1.0.dtd" >
<suite name="Tests" verbose="5">
  <test name="Test1">
    <classes>
      <class name="com.example.yourcompany.qa.Test1"/>
    </classes>
  </test>  
</suite>

Replace com.example.yourcompany.qa.Test1 with path to your Test class.

Run your tests

java -jar tests.jar testng.xml

jQuery - Follow the cursor with a DIV

You don't need jQuery for this. Here's a simple working example:

<!DOCTYPE html>

        <style type="text/css">
            #box-shadow-div{

I chose position: fixed; so scrolling wouldn't be an issue.

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

That is taking the parameter by reference. So in the first case you are taking a pointer parameter by reference so whatever modification you do to the value of the pointer is reflected outside the function. Second is the simlilar to first one with the only difference being that it is a double pointer. See this example:

void pass_by_value(int* p)
{
    //Allocate memory for int and store the address in p
    p = new int;
}

void pass_by_reference(int*& p)
{
    p = new int;
}

int main()
{
    int* p1 = NULL;
    int* p2 = NULL;

    pass_by_value(p1); //p1 will still be NULL after this call
    pass_by_reference(p2); //p2 's value is changed to point to the newly allocate memory

    return 0;
}

Paste in insert mode?

You can enter -- INSERT (past) -- mode via:

  • Keyboard combo: y p

or

  • :set paste and entering insert mode (:set nopaste to disable)

once in -- INSERT (past) -- mode simply use your systems paste function (e.g. CtrlShiftv on Linux, Cmdv on Mac OS).

This strategy is very usefully when using vim over ssh.

How to Insert BOOL Value to MySQL Database

TRUE and FALSE are keywords, and should not be quoted as strings:

INSERT INTO first VALUES (NULL, 'G22', TRUE);
INSERT INTO first VALUES (NULL, 'G23', FALSE);

By quoting them as strings, MySQL will then cast them to their integer equivalent (since booleans are really just a one-byte INT in MySQL), which translates into zero for any non-numeric string. Thus, you get 0 for both values in your table.

Non-numeric strings cast to zero:

mysql> SELECT CAST('TRUE' AS SIGNED), CAST('FALSE' AS SIGNED), CAST('12345' AS SIGNED);
+------------------------+-------------------------+-------------------------+
| CAST('TRUE' AS SIGNED) | CAST('FALSE' AS SIGNED) | CAST('12345' AS SIGNED) |
+------------------------+-------------------------+-------------------------+
|                      0 |                       0 |                   12345 |
+------------------------+-------------------------+-------------------------+

But the keywords return their corresponding INT representation:

mysql> SELECT TRUE, FALSE;
+------+-------+
| TRUE | FALSE |
+------+-------+
|    1 |     0 |
+------+-------+

Note also, that I have replaced your double-quotes with single quotes as are more standard SQL string enclosures. Finally, I have replaced your empty strings for id with NULL. The empty string may issue a warning.

angularjs make a simple countdown

You should use $scope.$apply() when you execute an angular expression from outside of the angular framework.

function countController($scope){
    $scope.countDown = 10;    
    var timer = setInterval(function(){
        $scope.countDown--;
        $scope.$apply();
        console.log($scope.countDown);
    }, 1000);  
}
