Programs & Examples On #Idictionary

System.Collections.IDictionary and System.Collections.Generic.IDictionary interfaces in the BCL (Base Class Library) of the .NET framework represent a collection of key-value pairs.

Recreating a Dictionary from an IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<>>

If you're using .NET 3.5 or .NET 4, it's easy to create the dictionary using LINQ:

Dictionary<string, ArrayList> result = target.GetComponents()
                                      .ToDictionary(x => x.Key, x => x.Value);

There's no such thing as an IEnumerable<T1, T2> but a KeyValuePair<TKey, TValue> is fine.

Javascript to set hidden form value on drop down change

Plain old Javascript:

<script type="text/javascript">

function changeHiddenInput (objDropDown)
{
    var objHidden = document.getElementById("hiddenInput");
    objHidden.value = objDropDown.value; 
}

</script>
<form>
    <select id="dropdown" name="dropdown" onchange="changeHiddenInput(this)">
        <option value="1">One</option>
        <option value="2">Two</option>
        <option value="3">Three</option>
    </select>

    <input type="hidden" name="hiddenInput" id="hiddenInput" value="" />
</form>

"The 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider is not registered on the local machine" Error in importing process of xlsx to a sql server

Excel 2010 driver is 64 bit, while the default SSMS import export wizard is 32 therefore the error message.

You can import using the Import Export Data (64 bit) tool. ("C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\110\DTS\Binn\DTSWizard.exe") notice the path is not Program Files x86.

Rails: Get Client IP address

For anyone interested and using a newer rails and the Devise gem: Devise's "trackable" option includes a column for current/last_sign_in_ip in the users table.

Selecting last element in JavaScript array

var arr = [1, 2, 3];
arr.slice(-1).pop(); // return 3 and arr = [1, 2, 3]

This will return undefined if the array is empty and this will not change the value of the array.

Erase whole array Python

Well yes arrays do exist, and no they're not different to lists when it comes to things like del and append:

>>> from array import array
>>> foo = array('i', range(5))
>>> foo
array('i', [0, 1, 2, 3, 4])
>>> del foo[:]
>>> foo
array('i')
>>> foo.append(42)
>>> foo
array('i', [42])
>>>

Differences worth noting: you need to specify the type when creating the array, and you save storage at the expense of extra time converting between the C type and the Python type when you do arr[i] = expression or arr.append(expression), and lvalue = arr[i]

Inserting a Python datetime.datetime object into MySQL

For a time field, use:

import time    
time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')

I think strftime also applies to datetime.

How can I catch all the exceptions that will be thrown through reading and writing a file?

While I agree it's not good style to catch a raw Exception, there are ways of handling exceptions which provide for superior logging, and the ability to handle the unexpected. Since you are in an exceptional state, you are probably more interested in getting good information than in response time, so instanceof performance shouldn't be a big hit.

try{
    // IO code
} catch (Exception e){
    if(e instanceof IOException){
        // handle this exception type
    } else if (e instanceof AnotherExceptionType){
        //handle this one
    } else {
        // We didn't expect this one. What could it be? Let's log it, and let it bubble up the hierarchy.
        throw e;
    }
}

However, this doesn't take into consideration the fact that IO can also throw Errors. Errors are not Exceptions. Errors are a under a different inheritance hierarchy than Exceptions, though both share the base class Throwable. Since IO can throw Errors, you may want to go so far as to catch Throwable

try{
    // IO code
} catch (Throwable t){
    if(t instanceof Exception){
        if(t instanceof IOException){
            // handle this exception type
        } else if (t instanceof AnotherExceptionType){
            //handle this one
        } else {
            // We didn't expect this Exception. What could it be? Let's log it, and let it bubble up the hierarchy.
        }
    } else if (t instanceof Error){
        if(t instanceof IOError){
            // handle this Error
        } else if (t instanceof AnotherError){
            //handle different Error
        } else {
            // We didn't expect this Error. What could it be? Let's log it, and let it bubble up the hierarchy.
        }
    } else {
        // This should never be reached, unless you have subclassed Throwable for your own purposes.
        throw t;
    }
}

How to add background-image using ngStyle (angular2)?

Also you can try this:

[style.background-image]="'url(' + photo + ')'"

Encrypt Password in Configuration Files?

Well to solve the problems of master password - the best approach is not to store the password anywhere, the application should encrypt passwords for itself - so that only it can decrypt them. So if I was using a .config file I would do the following, mySettings.config:

encryptTheseKeys=secretKey,anotherSecret

secretKey=unprotectedPasswordThatIputHere

anotherSecret=anotherPass

someKey=unprotectedSettingIdontCareAbout

so I would read in the keys that are mentioned in the encryptTheseKeys, apply the Brodwalls example from above on them and write them back to the file with a marker of some sort (lets say crypt:) to let the application know not to do it again, the output would look like this:

encryptTheseKeys=secretKey,anotherSecret

secretKey=crypt:ii4jfj304fjhfj934fouh938

anotherSecret=crypt:jd48jofh48h

someKey=unprotectedSettingIdontCareAbout

Just make sure to keep the originals in your own secure place...

Delaying a jquery script until everything else has loaded

The following script ensures that my_finalFunction runs after your page has been fully loaded with images, stylesheets and external content:

<script>

    document.addEventListener("load", my_finalFunction, false);

    function my_finalFunction(e) {
        /* things to do after all has been loaded */
    }

</script>

How to convert a HTMLElement to a string

You can get the 'outer-html' by cloning the element, adding it to an empty,'offstage' container, and reading the container's innerHTML.

This example takes an optional second parameter.

Call document.getHTML(element, true) to include the element's descendents.

document.getHTML= function(who, deep){
    if(!who || !who.tagName) return '';
    var txt, ax, el= document.createElement("div");
    el.appendChild(who.cloneNode(false));
    txt= el.innerHTML;
    if(deep){
        ax= txt.indexOf('>')+1;
        txt= txt.substring(0, ax)+who.innerHTML+ txt.substring(ax);
    }
    el= null;
    return txt;
}

Datetime current year and month in Python

You can write the accepted answer as a one-liner using date.replace:

datem = datetime.today().replace(day=1)

“Unable to find manifest signing certificate in the certificate store” - even when add new key

If you need just build the project or solution locally then removing the signing might be a dead simple solution as others suggest.

But if you have this error on your automation build server like TeamCity where you build your actual release pieces for deployment or distribution you might want to consider how you can get this cert properly installed to the cert store on the build machine, so that you get a signed packages at the end of the build.

Generally it is not recommenced to check-in/commit any PFX certificates into source control, so how you get this files on your build server during the build process is a bit another question, but sometimes people do have this file stored along with the solution code, so you can find it in the project folder.

All you need to do is just install this certificate under proper account on your build server.

  1. Download PsExec from Windows Sysinternals.

  2. Open a command prompt, and enter the following. It will spawn a new command prompt, running as Local System (assuming that your TeamCity is running under the default Local System account):

    > psexec.exe -i -s cmd.exe

  3. In this new command prompt, change to the directory containing the certificate and enter the filename to install (change the name of the file to yours):

    > mykey.pfx

  4. The Import Certificate wizard will start up. Click through and select all the suggested defaults.

  5. Run the build.

jQuery first child of "this"

I've just written a plugin which uses .firstElementChild if possible, and falls back to iterating over each individual node if necessary:

(function ($) {
    var useElementChild = ('firstElementChild' in document.createElement('div'));

    $.fn.firstChild = function () {
        return this.map(function() {
            if (useElementChild) {
                return this.firstElementChild;
            } else {
                var node = this.firstChild;
                while (node) {
                    if (node.type === 1) {
                        break;
                    }
                    node = node.nextSibling;
                }
                return node;
            }
        });
    };
})(jQuery);

It's not as fast as a pure DOM solution, but in jsperf tests under Chrome 24 it was a couple of orders of magnitude faster than any other jQuery selector-based method.

Check if value already exists within list of dictionaries?

Following works out for me.

    a = [{ 'main_color': 'red', 'second_color':'blue'},
    { 'main_color': 'yellow', 'second_color':'green'},
    { 'main_color': 'yellow', 'second_color':'blue'}]

    found_event = next(

How can I change my default database in SQL Server without using MS SQL Server Management Studio?

What you can do is set your default database using the sp_defaultdb system stored procedure. Log in as you have done and then click the New Query button. After that simply run the sp_defaultdb command as follows:

Exec sp_defaultdb @loginame='login', @defdb='master' 

Check if an array item is set in JS

var assoc_pagine = new Array();
assoc_pagine["home"]=0;

Don't use an Array for this. Arrays are for numerically-indexed lists. Just use a plain Object ({}).

What you are thinking of with the 'undefined' string is probably this:

if (typeof assoc_pagine[key]!=='undefined')

This is (more or less) the same as saying

if (assoc_pagine[key]!==undefined)

However, either way this is a bit ugly. You're dereferencing a key that may not exist (which would be an error in any more sensible language), and relying on JavaScript's weird hack of giving you the special undefined value for non-existent properties.

This also doesn't quite tell you if the property really wasn't there, or if it was there but explicitly set to the undefined value.

This is a more explicit, readable and IMO all-round better approach:

if (key in assoc_pagine)

PHP __get and __set magic methods

Best use magic set/get methods with predefined custom set/get Methods as in example below. This way you can combine best of two worlds. In terms of speed I agree that they are a bit slower but can you even feel the difference. Example below also validate the data array against predefined setters.

"The magic methods are not substitutes for getters and setters. They just allow you to handle method calls or property access that would otherwise result in an error."

This is why we should use both.

CLASS ITEM EXAMPLE

SQlite - Android - Foreign key syntax

You have to define your TASK_CAT column first and then set foreign key on it.

private static final String TASK_TABLE_CREATE = "create table "
        + TASK_TABLE + " (" 
        + TASK_ID + " integer primary key autoincrement, " 
        + TASK_TITLE + " text not null, " 
        + TASK_NOTES + " text not null, "
        + TASK_DATE_TIME + " text not null,"
        + TASK_CAT + " integer,"
        + " FOREIGN KEY ("+TASK_CAT+") REFERENCES "+CAT_TABLE+"("+CAT_ID+"));";

More information you can find on sqlite foreign keys doc.

How to stop docker under Linux

find a minimum value in an array of floats

You need to iterate the 2d array in order to get the min value of each row, then you have to push any gotten min value to another array and finally you need to get the min value of the array where each min row value was pushed

def get_min_value(self, table):
    min_values = []
    for i in range(0, len(table)):
        min_value = min(table[i])
        min_values.append(min_value)

    return min(min_values)

MySQL error 1241: Operand should contain 1 column(s)

Another way to make the parser raise the same exception is the following incorrect clause.

SELECT r.name
FROM roles r
WHERE id IN ( SELECT role_id ,
                     system_user_id
                 FROM role_members m
                 WHERE r.id = m.role_id
                 AND m.system_user_id = intIdSystemUser
             )

The nested SELECT statement in the IN clause returns two columns, which the parser sees as operands, which is technically correct, since the id column matches values from but one column (role_id) in the result returned by the nested select statement, which is expected to return a list.

For sake of completeness, the correct syntax is as follows.

SELECT r.name
FROM roles r
WHERE id IN ( SELECT role_id
                 FROM role_members m
                 WHERE r.id = m.role_id
                 AND m.system_user_id = intIdSystemUser
             )

The stored procedure of which this query is a portion not only parsed, but returned the expected result.

Aligning textviews on the left and right edges in Android layout

Use a RelativeLayout with layout_alignParentLeft and layout_alignParentRight:

<RelativeLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/RelativeLayout01" 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:padding="10dp">

    <TextView 
        android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" 
        android:id="@+id/mytextview1"/>

    <TextView 
        android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true" 
        android:id="@+id/mytextview2"/>

</RelativeLayout>

Also, you should probably be using dip (or dp) rather than sp in your layout. sp reflect text settings as well as screen density so they're usually only for sizing text items.

Let me explain clearly.. If you are familiar With rdbms.. Index is database.. And index type is table.. It mean index is collection of index types., like collection of tables as database (DB).

in NOSQL.. Index is database and index type is collections. Group of collection as database..

To execute those queries... U need to install CURL for Windows.

Curl is nothing but a command line rest tool.. If you want a graphical tool.. Try

Sense plugin for chrome...

Hope it helps..

C/C++ Struct vs Class

One more difference in C++, when you inherit a class from struct without any access specifier, it become public inheritance where as in case of class it's private inheritance.

How do I drop a function if it already exists?

if object_id('FUNCTION_NAME') is not NULL
   DROP FUNCTION <name>

You can also look the name up in sysobjects

IF EXISTS (SELECT * 
       FROM   sysobjects 
           WHERE name='<function name>' and xtype='FN'

Actually, if the function could be a table function, you need to use

xtype in ('FN','TF')

How to calculate the SVG Path for an arc (of a circle)

An image and some Python

Just to clarify better and offer another solution. Arc [A] command use the current position as a starting point so you have to use Moveto [M] command first.

Then the parameters of Arc are the following:

rx, ry, x-axis-rotation, large-arc-flag, sweep-flag, xf, yf

If we define for example the following svg file:

_x000D_
_x000D_
<svg viewBox="0 0 500 500">_x000D_
    <path fill="red" d="_x000D_
    M 250 250_x000D_
    A 100 100 0 0 0 450 250_x000D_
    Z"/> _x000D_
</svg>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

enter image description here

You will set the starting point with M the ending point with the parameters xf and yf of A.

We are looking for circles so we set rx equal to ry doing so basically now it will try to find all the circle of radius rx that intersect the starting and end point.

import numpy as np

def write_svgarc(xcenter,ycenter,r,startangle,endangle,output='arc.svg'):

    if endangle - startangle < 360:
        large_arc_flag = 0
        radiansconversion = np.pi/180.
        xstartpoint = xcenter + r*np.cos(startangle*radiansconversion)
        ystartpoint = ycenter - r*np.sin(startangle*radiansconversion)
        xendpoint = xcenter + r*np.cos(endangle*radiansconversion)
        yendpoint = ycenter - r*np.sin(endangle*radiansconversion)
        #If we want to plot angles larger than 180 degrees we need this
        if endangle - startangle > 180: large_arc_flag = 1
        with open(output,'a') as f:
            f.write(r"""<path d=" """)
            f.write("M %s %s" %(xstartpoint,ystartpoint))
            f.write("A %s %s 0 %s 0 %s %s" 
                    %(r,r,large_arc_flag,xendpoint,yendpoint))
            f.write("L %s %s" %(xcenter,ycenter))
            f.write(r"""Z"/>""" )

    else:
        with open(output,'a') as f:
            f.write(r"""<circle cx="%s" cy="%s" r="%s"/>"""
                    %(xcenter,ycenter,r))

You can have a more detailed explanation in this post that I wrote.

How can I remove the top and right axis in matplotlib?

[edit] matplotlib in now (2013-10) on version 1.3.0 which includes this

That ability was actually just added, and you need the Subversion version for it. You can see the example code here.

I am just updating to say that there's a better example online now. Still need the Subversion version though, there hasn't been a release with this yet.

[edit] Matplotlib 0.99.0 RC1 was just released, and includes this capability.

How much memory can a 32 bit process access on a 64 bit operating system?

An single 32-bit process under a 64-bit OS is limited to 2Gb. But if it is compiled to an EXE file with IMAGE_FILE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE bit set, it then has a limit of 4 GB, not 2Gb - see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366778(VS.85).aspx

The things you hear about special boot flags, 3 GB, /3GB switches, or /userva are all about 32-bit operating systems and do not apply on 64-bit Windows.

See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366778(v=vs.85).aspx for more details.

As about the 32-bit operating systems, contrary to the belief, there is no physical limit of 4GB for 32-bit operating systems. For example, 32-bit Server Operating Systems like Microsoft Windows Server 2008 32-bit can access up to 64 GB (Windows Server 2008 Enterprise and Datacenter editions) – by means of Physical Address Extension (PAE), which was first introduced by Intel in the Pentium Pro, and later by AMD in the Athlon processor - it defines a page table hierarchy of three levels, with table entries of 64 bits each instead of 32, allowing these CPUs to directly access a physical address space larger than 4 gigabytes – so theoretically, a 32-bit OS can access 2^64 bytes theoretically, or 17,179,869,184 gigabytes, but the segment is limited by 4GB. However, due to marketing reasons, Microsoft have limited maximum accessible memory on non-server operating systems to just 4GB, or, even, 3GB effectively. Thus, a single process can access more than 4GB on a 32-bit OS - and Microsoft SQL server is an example.

32-bit processes under 64-bit Windows do not have any disadvantage comparing to 64-bit processes in using shared kernel's virtual address space (also called system space). All processes, be it 64-bit or 32-bit, under 64-bit Windows share the same 64-bit system space.

Given the fact that the system space is shared across all processes, on 32-bit Windows, processes that create large amount of handles (like threads, semaphores, files, etc.) consume system space by kernel objects and can run out of memory even if you have lot of memory available in total. In contrast, on 64-bit Windows, the kernel space is 64-bit and is not limited by 4 GB. All system calls made by 32-bit applications are converted to native 64-bit calls in the user mode.

xsd:boolean element type accept "true" but not "True". How can I make it accept it?

xs:boolean is predefined with regard to what kind of input it accepts. If you need something different, you have to define your own enumeration:

 <xs:simpleType name="my:boolean">
    <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
      <xs:enumeration value="True"/>
      <xs:enumeration value="False"/>
    </xs:restriction>

How to import local packages without gopath

There's no such thing as "local package". The organization of packages on a disk is orthogonal to any parent/child relations of packages. The only real hierarchy formed by packages is the dependency tree, which in the general case does not reflect the directory tree.

Just use

import "myproject/packageN"

and don't fight the build system for no good reason. Saving a dozen of characters per import in any non trivial program is not a good reason, because, for example, projects with relative import paths are not go-gettable.

The concept of import paths have some important properties:

  • Import paths can be be globally unique.
  • In conjunction with GOPATH, import path can be translated unambiguously to a directory path.
  • Any directory path under GOPATH can be unambiguously translated to an import path.

All of the above is ruined by using relative import paths. Do not do it.

PS: There are few places in the legacy code in Go compiler tests which use relative imports. ATM, this is the only reason why relative imports are supported at all.

Rename file with Git

I had a similar problem going through a tutorial.

# git mv README README.markdown

fatal: bad source, source=README, destination=README.markdown

I included the filetype in the source file:

# git mv README.rdoc README.markdown

and it worked perfectly. Don't forget to commit the changes with i.e.:

# git commit -a -m "Improved the README"

Sometimes it is simple little things like that, that piss us off. LOL

How to count the number of letters in a string without the spaces?

How can I convert NSDictionary to NSData and vice versa?

NSDictionary -> NSData:

NSMutableData *data = [[NSMutableData alloc] init];
NSKeyedArchiver *archiver = [[NSKeyedArchiver alloc] initForWritingWithMutableData:data];
[archiver encodeObject:yourDictionary forKey:@"Some Key Value"];
[archiver finishEncoding];
[archiver release];

// Here, data holds the serialized version of your dictionary
// do what you need to do with it before you:
[data release];

NSData -> NSDictionary

NSData *data = [[NSMutableData alloc] initWithContentsOfFile:[self dataFilePath]];
NSKeyedUnarchiver *unarchiver = [[NSKeyedUnarchiver alloc] initForReadingWithData:data];
NSDictionary *myDictionary = [[unarchiver decodeObjectForKey:@"Some Key Value"] retain];
[unarchiver finishDecoding];
[unarchiver release];
[data release];

You can do that with any class that conforms to NSCoding.

How do I position a div at the bottom center of the screen

If you aren't comfortable with using negative margins, check this out.

div {
  position: fixed;
  left: 50%;
  bottom: 20px;
  transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
  margin: 0 auto;
}
<div>
  Your Text
</div>

Especially useful when you don't know the width of the div.


align="center" has no effect.

Since you have position:absolute, I would recommend positioning it 50% from the left and then subtracting half of its width from its left margin.

#manipulate {
    position:absolute;
    width:300px;
    height:300px;
    background:#063;
    bottom:0px;
    right:25%;
    left:50%;
    margin-left:-150px;
}

Difference between SurfaceView and View?

updated 05/09/2014

OK. We have official document now. It talked all I have mentioned, in a better way.


Read more detailed here.

Yes, the main difference is surfaceView can be updated on the background thread. However, there are more you might care.

  • surfaceView has dedicate surface buffer while all the view shares one surface buffer that is allocated by ViewRoot. In another word, surfaceView cost more resources.

  • surfaceView cannot be hardware accelerated (as of JB4.2) while 95% operations on normal View are HW accelerated using openGL ES.

  • More work should be done to create your customized surfaceView. You need to listener to the surfaceCreated/Destroy Event, create an render thread, more importantly, synchronized the render thread and main thread. However, to customize the View, all you need to do is override onDraw method.

  • The timing to update is different. Normal view update mechanism is constraint or controlled by the framework:You call view.invalidate in the UI thread or view.postInvalid in other thread to indicate to the framework that the view should be updated. However, the view won't be updated immediately but wait until next VSYNC event arrived. The easy approach to understand VSYNC is to consider it is as a timer that fire up every 16ms for a 60fps screen. In Android, all the normal view update (and display actually but I won't talk it today), is synchronized with VSYNC to achieve better smoothness. Now,back to the surfaceView, you can render it anytime as you wish. However, I can hardly tell if it is an advantage, since the display is also synchronized with VSYNC, as stated previously.

X-Frame-Options: ALLOW-FROM in firefox and chrome

ALLOW-FROM is not supported in Chrome or Safari. See MDN article: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/X-Frame-Options

You are already doing the work to make a custom header and send it with the correct data, can you not just exclude the header when you detect it is from a valid partner and add DENY to every other request? I don't see the benefit of AllowFrom when you are already dynamically building the logic up?

How to hide app title in android?

You can do it programatically: Or without action bar

//It's enough to remove the line
     requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);

//But if you want to display  full screen (without action bar) write too

     getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
     WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);

     setContentView(R.layout.your_activity);

    }))

    self.present(refreshAlert, animated: true, completion: nil)

Modify SVG fill color when being served as Background-Image

Late to the show here, BUT, I was able to add a fill color to the SVG polygon, if you're able to directly edit the SVG code, so for example the following svg renders red, instead of default black. I have not tested outside of Chrome though:

<svg version="1.1" id="Layer_1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" x="0px" y="0px"
 width="500px" height="500px" viewBox="0 0 500 500" enable-background="new 0 0 500 500" xml:space="preserve">
    <polygon 


        fill="red"

Calculate RSA key fingerprint

To check a remote SSH server prior to the first connection, you can give a look at www.server-stats.net/ssh/ to see all SHH keys for the server, as well as from when the key is known.

That's not like an SSL certificate, but definitely a must-do before connecting to any SSH server for the first time.

How to get HttpClient returning status code and response body?

What is a postback?

Postback refers to HTML forms. An HTML form has 2 methods: GET and POST. These methods determine how data is sent from the client via the form, to the server. A Postback is the action of POSTing back to the submitting page. In essence, it forms a complete circuit from the client, to the server, and back again.

Python - How to sort a list of lists by the fourth element in each list?

Use sorted() with a key as follows -

>>> unsorted_list = [['a','b','c','5','d'],['e','f','g','3','h'],['i','j','k','4','m']]
>>> sorted(unsorted_list, key = lambda x: int(x[3]))
[['e', 'f', 'g', '3', 'h'], ['i', 'j', 'k', '4', 'm'], ['a', 'b', 'c', '5', 'd']]

The lambda returns the fourth element of each of the inner lists and the sorted function uses that to sort those list. This assumes that int(elem) will not fail for the list.

Or use itemgetter (As Ashwini's comment pointed out, this method would not work if you have string representations of the numbers, since they are bound to fail somewhere for 2+ digit numbers)

>>> from operator import itemgetter
>>> sorted(unsorted_list, key = itemgetter(3))
[['e', 'f', 'g', '3', 'h'], ['i', 'j', 'k', '4', 'm'], ['a', 'b', 'c', '5', 'd']]

How to generate .NET 4.0 classes from xsd?

Marc Gravells answer was right for me but my xsd was with extension of .xml. When I used xsd program it gave :

As per this KB325695 I renamed extension from .xml to .xsd and it worked fine.

Rails 4 - passing variable to partial

From the Rails api on PartialRender:

Rendering the default case

If you're not going to be using any of the options like collections or layouts, you can also use the short-hand defaults of render to render partials.

Examples:

# Instead of <%= render partial: "account" %>
<%= render "account" %>

# Instead of <%= render partial: "account", locals: { account: @buyer } %>
<%= render "account", account: @buyer %>

# @account.to_partial_path returns 'accounts/account', so it can be used to replace:
# <%= render partial: "accounts/account", locals: { account: @account} %>
<%= render @account %>

# @posts is an array of Post instances, so every post record returns 'posts/post' on `to_partial_path`,
# that's why we can replace:
# <%= render partial: "posts/post", collection: @posts %>
<%= render @posts %>

So, you can use pass a local variable size to render as follows:

<%= render @users, size: 50 %>

and then use it in the _user.html.erb partial:

<li>
    <%= gravatar_for user, size: size %>
    <%= link_to user.name, user %>
</li>

Note that size: size is equivalent to :size => size.

How to bundle an Angular app for production

2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 (TypeScript) with Angular CLI

OneTime Setup

  • npm install -g @angular/cli
  • ng new projectFolder creates a new application

Bundling Step

  • ng build --prod (run in command line when directory is projectFolder)

    flag prod bundle for production (see the Angular documentation for the list of option included with the production flag).

  • Compress using Brotli compression the resources using the following command

    for i in dist/*; do brotli $i; done

bundles are generated by default to projectFolder/dist(/$projectFolder for v6+)**

Output

Sizes with Angular 11.0.5 with CLI 11.0.5and option CSS without Angular routing

  • dist/main-[es-version].[hash].js Your application bundled [ ES5 size: 136 KB for new Angular CLI application empty, 38 KB compressed].
  • dist/polyfill-[es-version].[hash].bundle.js the polyfill dependencies (@angular, RxJS...) bundled [ ES5 size: 36 KB for new Angular CLI application empty, 11 KB compressed].
  • dist/index.html entry point of your application.
  • dist/runtime-[es-version].[hash].bundle.js webpack loader
  • dist/style.[hash].bundle.css the style definitions
  • dist/assets resources copied from the Angular CLI assets configuration

Deployment

You can get a preview of your application using the ng serve --prod command that starts a local HTTP server such that the application with production files is accessible using http://localhost:4200.

For a production usage, you have to deploy all the files from the dist folder in the HTTP server of your choice.

Map a network drive to be used by a service

Instead of relying on a persistent drive, you could set the script to map/unmap the drive each time you use it:

net use Q: \\share.domain.com\share 
forfiles /p Q:\myfolder /s /m *.txt /d -0 /c "cmd /c del @path"
net use Q: /delete

This works for me.

WordPress - Check if user is logged in

Try following code that worked fine for me

global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();

Then, use following code to check whether user has logged in or not.

if ($current_user->ID == '') { 
    //show nothing to user
}
else { 
    //write code to show menu here
}

Combining "LIKE" and "IN" for SQL Server

One other option would be to use something like this

SELECT  * 
FROM    table t INNER JOIN
        (
            SELECT  'Text%' Col
            UNION SELECT 'Link%'
            UNION SELECT 'Hello%'
            UNION SELECT '%World%'
        ) List ON t.COLUMN LIKE List.Col

MS SQL compare dates?

Use the DATEDIFF function with a datepart of day.

SELECT ...
FROM ...
WHERE DATEDIFF(day, date1, date2) >= 0

Note that if you want to test that date1 <= date2 then you need to test that DATEDIFF(day, date1, date2) >= 0, or alternatively you could test DATEDIFF(day, date2, date1) <= 0.

How to add a vertical Separator?

Vertical separator

How to get a random value from dictionary?

One way would be:

import random
d = {'VENEZUELA':'CARACAS', 'CANADA':'OTTAWA'}
random.choice(list(d.values()))

EDIT: The question was changed a couple years after the original post, and now asks for a pair, rather than a single item. The final line should now be:

country, capital = random.choice(list(d.items()))

When are static variables initialized?

The order of initialization is:

  1. Static initialization blocks
  2. Instance initialization blocks
  3. Constructors

The details of the process are explained in the JVM specification document.

jQuery Mobile: document ready vs. page events

While you use .on(), it's basically a live query that you are using.

On the other hand, .ready (as in your case) is a static query. While using it, you can dynamically update data and do not have to wait for the page to load. You can simply pass on the values into your database (if required) when a particular value is entered.

The use of live queries is common in forms where we enter data (account or posts or even comments).

How to delete projects in Intellij IDEA 14?

Deleting and Recreating a project with same name is tricky. If you try to follow above suggested steps and try to create a project with same name as the one you just deleted, you will run into error like

'C:/xxxxxx/pom.xml' already exists in VFS

Here is what I found would work.

  1. Remove module
  2. File -> Invalidate Cache (at this point the Intelli IDEA wants to restart)
  3. Close project
  4. Delete the folder form system explorer.
  5. Now you can create a project with same name as before.

That is not an error, it is a warning. It means the branch you are about to delete contains commits that are not reachable from any of: its upstream branch, or HEAD (currently checked out revision). In other words, when you might lose commits¹.

In practice it means that you probably amended, rebased or filtered commits and they don't seem identical.

Therefore you could avoid the warning by checking out a branch that does contain the commits that you're about un-reference by deleting that other branch.²

You will want to verify that you in fact aren't missing any vital commits:

git log --graph --left-right --cherry-pick --oneline master...experiment

This will give you a list of any nonshared between the branches. In case you are curious, there might be a difference without --cherry-pick and this difference could well be the reason for the warning you get:

--cherry-pick

Omit any commit that introduces the same change as another commit on the "other side" when the set of commits are limited with symmetric difference. For example, if you have two branches, A and B, a usual way to list all commits on only one side of them is with --left-right, like the example above in the description of that option. It however shows the commits that were cherry-picked from the other branch (for example, "3rd on b" may be cherry-picked from branch A). With this option, such pairs of commits are excluded from the output.


¹ they're really only garbage collected after a while, by default. Also, the git-branch command does not check the revision tree of all branches. The warning is there to avoid obvious mistakes.

² (My preference here is to just force the deletion instead, but you might want to have the extra reassurance).

ASP.NET GridView RowIndex As CommandArgument

Here is Microsoft Suggestion for this http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb907626.aspx#Y800

On the gridview add a command button and convert it into a template, then give it a commandname in this case "AddToCart" and also add CommandArgument "<%# ((GridViewRow) Container).RowIndex %>"

<asp:TemplateField>
  <ItemTemplate>
    <asp:Button ID="AddButton" runat="server" 
      CommandName="AddToCart" 
      CommandArgument="<%# ((GridViewRow) Container).RowIndex %>"
      Text="Add to Cart" />
  </ItemTemplate> 
</asp:TemplateField>

Then for create on the RowCommand event of the gridview identify when the "AddToCart" command is triggered, and do whatever you want from there

protected void GridView1_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
  if (e.CommandName == "AddToCart")
  {
    // Retrieve the row index stored in the 
    // CommandArgument property.
    int index = Convert.ToInt32(e.CommandArgument);

    // Retrieve the row that contains the button 
    // from the Rows collection.
    GridViewRow row = GridView1.Rows[index];

    // Add code here to add the item to the shopping cart.
  }
}

**One mistake I was making is that I wanted to add the actions on my template button instead of doing it directly on the RowCommand Event.

nodeJs callbacks simple example

const fs = require('fs');

fs.stat('input.txt', function (err, stats) {
    if(err){
        console.log(err);
    } else {
        console.log(stats);
        console.log('Completed Reading File');
    }
});

'fs' is a node module which helps you to read file. Callback function will make sure that your file named 'input.txt' is completely read before it gets executed. fs.stat() function is to get file information like file size, date created and date modified.

TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str' when writing to a file in Python3

I got this error when I was trying to convert a char (or string) to bytes, the code was something like this with Python 2.7:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
print( bytes('ò') )

This is the way of Python 2.7 when dealing with unicode chars.

This won't work with Python 3.6, since bytes require an extra argument for encoding, but this can be little tricky, since different encoding may output different result:

print( bytes('ò', 'iso_8859_1') ) # prints: b'\xf2'
print( bytes('ò', 'utf-8') ) # prints: b'\xc3\xb2'

In my case I had to use iso_8859_1 when encoding bytes in order to solve the issue.

Hope this helps someone.

Change/Get check state of CheckBox

I know this is late info, but in jQuery, using .checked is possible and easy! If your element is something like:

<td>
    <input type="radio" name="bob" />
</td>

You can easily get/set checked state as such:

$("td").each(function()
{
    $(this).click(function()
    {
        var thisInput  = $(this).find("input[type=radio]");
        var checked = thisInput.is(":checked");
        thisInput[0].checked = (checked) ?  false : true;
    }
});

The secret is using the "[0]" array index identifier which is the ELEMENT of your jquery object! ENJOY!

Magento How to debug blank white screen

ANOTHER REASON

for a white screen without error messages might be fragmentation of the APC cache.

Use phpinfo() to find out if it is used by your page (we had issues with PHP 5.4 + APC 3.1.13) and if so see what happens when you either

  • disable it via .htaccess: php_flag apc.cache_by_default off
  • clear the apc cache every time the page is called: add at the top of index.php apc_clear_cache(); (no solution but good to see if the APC is the problem)

If you do have the APC and it is the problem, then you could

  • play around with its settings, which might be cumbersome and still not work at all
  • just update to PHP 5.5 and use its integrated opcode cache instead.

Passing an array by reference in C?

To expand a little bit on some of the answers here...

In C, when an array identifier appears in a context other than as an operand to either & or sizeof, the type of the identifier is implicitly converted from "N-element array of T" to "pointer to T", and its value is implicitly set to the address of the first element in the array (which is the same as the address of the array itself). That's why when you just pass the array identifier as an argument to a function, the function receives a pointer to the base type, rather than an array. Since you can't tell how big an array is just by looking at the pointer to the first element, you have to pass the size in as a separate parameter.

struct Coordinate { int x; int y; };
void SomeMethod(struct Coordinate *coordinates, size_t numCoordinates)
{
    ...
    coordinates[i].x = ...;
    coordinates[i].y = ...; 
    ...
}
int main (void)
{
    struct Coordinate coordinates[10];
    ...
    SomeMethod (coordinates, sizeof coordinates / sizeof *coordinates);
    ...
}

There are a couple of alternate ways of passing arrays to functions.

There is such a thing as a pointer to an array of T, as opposed to a pointer to T. You would declare such a pointer as

T (*p)[N];

In this case, p is a pointer to an N-element array of T (as opposed to T *p[N], where p is an N-element array of pointer to T). So you could pass a pointer to the array as opposed to a pointer to the first element:

struct Coordinate { int x; int y };

void SomeMethod(struct Coordinate (*coordinates)[10])
{
    ...
    (*coordinates)[i].x = ...;
    (*coordinates)[i].y = ...;
    ...
}

int main(void)
{
    struct Coordinate coordinates[10];
    ...
    SomeMethod(&coordinates);
    ...
}

The disadvantage of this method is that the array size is fixed, since a pointer to a 10-element array of T is a different type from a pointer to a 20-element array of T.

A third method is to wrap the array in a struct:

struct Coordinate { int x; int y; };
struct CoordinateWrapper { struct Coordinate coordinates[10]; };
void SomeMethod(struct CoordinateWrapper wrapper)
{
    ...
    wrapper.coordinates[i].x = ...;
    wrapper.coordinates[i].y = ...;
    ...
}
int main(void)
{
    struct CoordinateWrapper wrapper;
    ...
    SomeMethod(wrapper);
    ...
}

The advantage of this method is that you aren't mucking around with pointers. The disadvantage is that the array size is fixed (again, a 10-element array of T is a different type from a 20-element array of T).

How to create a blank/empty column with SELECT query in oracle?

I think you should use null

SELECT CustomerName AS Customer, null AS Contact 
FROM Customers;

And Remember that Oracle

treats a character value with a length of zero as null.

How to load up CSS files using Javascript?

I'd like to share one more way to load not only css but all the assets (js, css, images) and handle onload event for the bunch of files. It's async-assets-loader. See the example below:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/async-assets-loader"></script>
<script>
var jsfile = "https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.4.1.min.js";
var cssfile = "https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/materialize/1.0.0/css/materialize.min.css";
var imgfile = "https://logos.keycdn.com/keycdn-logo-black.png";
var assetsLoader = new asyncAssetsLoader();
assetsLoader.load([
      {uri: jsfile, type: "script"},
      {uri: cssfile, type: "style"},
      {uri: imgfile, type: "img"}
    ], function () {
      console.log("Assets are loaded");
      console.log("Img width: " + assetsLoader.getLoadedTags()[imgfile].width);
    });
</script> 

According to the async-assets-loader docs

How do I set an ASP.NET Label text from code behind on page load?

In the page load event you set your label

Why shouldn't I use PyPy over CPython if PyPy is 6.3 times faster?

To make this simple: PyPy provides the speed that's lacked by CPython but sacrifices its compatibility. Most people, however, choose Python for its flexibility and its "battery-included" feature (high compatibility), not for its speed (it's still preferred though).

Live search through table rows

Here is something you can do with Ajax, PHP and JQuery. Hope this helps or gives you a start. Check the mysql query in php. It matches the pattern starting from first.

See live demo and source code here.

http://purpledesign.in/blog/to-create-a-live-search-like-google/

Create a search box, may be an input field like this.

<input type="text" id="search" autocomplete="off">

Now we need listen to whatever the user types on the text area. For this we will use the jquery live() and the keyup event. On every keyup we have a jquery function “search” that will run a php script.

Suppose we have the html like this. We have an input field and a list to display the results.

 <div class="icon"></div>
 <input type="text" id="search" autocomplete="off">
 <ul id="results"></ul>

We have a Jquery script that will listen to the keyup event on the input field and if it is not empty it will invoke the search() function. The search() function will run the php script and display the result on the same page using AJAX.

Here is the JQuery.

$(document).ready(function() {  

    // Icon Click Focus
    $('div.icon').click(function(){
        $('input#search').focus();
    });

    //Listen for the event
    $("input#search").live("keyup", function(e) {
    // Set Timeout
    clearTimeout($.data(this, 'timer'));

    // Set Search String
    var search_string = $(this).val();

    // Do Search
    if (search_string == '') {
        $("ul#results").fadeOut();
        $('h4#results-text').fadeOut();
    }else{
        $("ul#results").fadeIn();
        $('h4#results-text').fadeIn();
        $(this).data('timer', setTimeout(search, 100));
    };
});


// Live Search
// On Search Submit and Get Results
function search() {
    var query_value = $('input#search').val();
    $('b#search-string').html(query_value);
    if(query_value !== ''){
        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: "search_st.php",
            data: { query: query_value },
            cache: false,
            success: function(html){
                $("ul#results").html(html);

            }
        });
    }return false;    
}

}); In the php, shoot a query to the mysql database. The php will return the results that will be put into the html using AJAX. Here the result is put into a html list.

Suppose there is a dummy database containing two tables animals and bird with two similar column names ‘type’ and ‘desc’.

//search.php
// Credentials
$dbhost = "localhost";
$dbname = "live";
$dbuser = "root";
$dbpass = "";

//  Connection
global $tutorial_db;

$tutorial_db = new mysqli();
$tutorial_db->connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass, $dbname);
$tutorial_db->set_charset("utf8");

//  Check Connection
if ($tutorial_db->connect_errno) {
    printf("Connect failed: %s\n", $tutorial_db->connect_error);
    exit();

$html = '';
$html .= '<li class="result">';
$html .= '<a target="_blank" href="urlString">';
$html .= '<h3>nameString</h3>';
$html .= '<h4>functionString</h4>';
$html .= '</a>';
$html .= '</li>';

$search_string = preg_replace("/[^A-Za-z0-9]/", " ", $_POST['query']);
$search_string = $tutorial_db->real_escape_string($search_string);

// Check Length More Than One Character
if (strlen($search_string) >= 1 && $search_string !== ' ') {
    // Build Query
    $query = "SELECT *
        FROM animals
        WHERE type REGEXP '^".$search_string."'
        UNION ALL SELECT *
        FROM birf
        WHERE type REGEXP '^".$search_string."'"
        ;

$result = $tutorial_db->query($query);
    while($results = $result->fetch_array()) {
        $result_array[] = $results;
    }

    // Check If We Have Results
    if (isset($result_array)) {
        foreach ($result_array as $result) {

            // Format Output Strings And Hightlight Matches
            $display_function = preg_replace("/".$search_string."/i", "<b class='highlight'>".$search_string."</b>", $result['desc']);
            $display_name = preg_replace("/".$search_string."/i", "<b class='highlight'>".$search_string."</b>", $result['type']);
        $display_url = 'https://www.google.com/search?q='.urlencode($result['type']).'&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8';

            // Insert Name
            $output = str_replace('nameString', $display_name, $html);

            // Insert Description
            $output = str_replace('functionString', $display_function, $output);

            // Insert URL
            $output = str_replace('urlString', $display_url, $output);



            // Output
            echo($output);
        }
    }else{

        // Format No Results Output
        $output = str_replace('urlString', 'javascript:void(0);', $html);
        $output = str_replace('nameString', '<b>No Results Found.</b>', $output);
        $output = str_replace('functionString', 'Sorry :(', $output);

        // Output
        echo($output);
    }
}

Create autoincrement key in Java DB using NetBeans IDE

I couldn't get the accepted answer to work using the Netbeans IDE "Create Table" GUI, and I'm on Netbeans 8.2. To get it to working, create the id column with the following options e.g.

enter image description here

and then use 'New Entity Classes from Database' option to generate the entity for the table (I created a simple table called PERSON with an ID column created exactly as above and a NAME column which is simple varchar(255) column). These generated entities leave it to the user to add the auto generated id mechanism.

GENERATION.AUTO seems to try and use sequences which Derby doesn't seem to like (error stating failed to generate sequence/sequence does not exist), GENERATION.SEQUENCE therefore doesn't work either, GENERATION.IDENTITY doesn't work (get error stating ID is null), so that leaves GENERATION.TABLE.

Set your persistence unit's 'Table Generation Strategy' button to Create. This will create tables that don't exist in the DB when your jar is run (loaded?) i.e. the table your PU needs to create in order to store ID increments. In your entity replace the generated annotations above your id field with the following...

enter image description here

I also created a controller for my entity class using 'JPA Controller Classes from Entity Classes' option. I then create a simple main class to test the id was auto generated i.e.

enter image description here

The result is that the PERSON_ID_TABLE is generated correctly and my PERSON table has two PERSON entries in it with correct, auto generated ids.

How can I convert a comma-separated string to an array?

Here is a function that will convert a string to an array, even if there is only one item in the list (no separator character):

function listToAray(fullString, separator) {
  var fullArray = [];

  if (fullString !== undefined) {
    if (fullString.indexOf(separator) == -1) {
      fullAray.push(fullString);
    } else {
      fullArray = fullString.split(separator);
    }
  }

  return fullArray;
}

Use it like this:

var myString = 'alpha,bravo,charlie,delta';
var myArray = listToArray(myString, ',');
myArray[2]; // charlie

var yourString = 'echo';
var yourArray = listToArray(yourString, ',');
yourArray[0]; // echo

I created this function because split throws out an error if there isn't any separator character in the string (only one item).

Is it possible to modify a string of char in C?

You need to copy the string into another, not read-only memory buffer and modify it there. Use strncpy() for copying the string, strlen() for detecting string length, malloc() and free() for dynamically allocating a buffer for the new string.

For example (C++ like pseudocode):

int stringLength = strlen( sourceString );
char* newBuffer = malloc( stringLength + 1 );

// you should check if newBuffer is 0 here to test for memory allocaton failure - omitted

strncpy( newBuffer, sourceString, stringLength );
newBuffer[stringLength] = 0;

// you can now modify the contents of newBuffer freely

free( newBuffer );
newBuffer = 0;

How to reset Jenkins security settings from the command line?

We can reset the password while leaving security on.

The config.xml file in /var/lib/Jenkins/users/admin/ acts sort of like the /etc/shadow file Linux or UNIX-like systems or the SAM file in Windows, in the sense that it stores the hash of the account's password.

If you need to reset the password without logging in, you can edit this file and replace the old hash with a new one generated from bcrypt:

$ pip install bcrypt
$ python
>>> import bcrypt
>>> bcrypt.hashpw("yourpassword", bcrypt.gensalt(rounds=10, prefix=b"2a"))
'YOUR_HASH'

This will output your hash, with prefix 2a, the correct prefix for Jenkins hashes.

Now, edit the config.xml file:

...
<passwordHash>#jbcrypt:REPLACE_THIS</passwordHash>
...

Once you insert the new hash, reset Jenkins:

(if you are on a system with systemd):

sudo systemctl restart Jenkins

You can now log in, and you didn't leave your system open for a second.

Truststore and Keystore Definitions

In a SSL handshake the purpose of trustStore is to verify credentials and the purpose of keyStore is to provide credential.

keyStore

keyStore in Java stores private key and certificates corresponding to their public keys and require if you are SSL Server or SSL requires client authentication.

TrustStore

TrustStore stores certificates from third party, your Java application communicate or certificates signed by CA(certificate authorities like Verisign, Thawte, Geotrust or GoDaddy) which can be used to identify third party.

TrustManager

TrustManager determines whether remote connection should be trusted or not i.e. whether remote party is who it claims to and KeyManager decides which authentication credentials should be sent to the remote host for authentication during SSL handshake.

If you are an SSL Server you will use private key during key exchange algorithm and send certificates corresponding to your public keys to client, this certificate is acquired from keyStore. On SSL client side, if its written in Java, it will use certificates stored in trustStore to verify identity of Server. SSL certificates are most commonly comes as .cer file which is added into keyStore or trustStore by using any key management utility e.g. keytool.

Margin while printing html page

You should use cm or mm as unit when you specify for printing. Using pixels will cause the browser to translate it to something similar to what it looks like on screen. Using cm or mm will ensure consistent size on the paper.

body
{
  margin: 25mm 25mm 25mm 25mm;
}

For font sizes, use pt for the print media.

Note that setting the margin on the body in css style will not adjust the margin in the printer driver that defines the printable area of the printer, or margin controlled by the browser (may be adjustable in print preview on some browsers)... It will just set margin on the document inside the printable area.

You should also be aware that IE7++ automatically adjusts the size to best fit, and causes everything to be wrong even if you use cm or mm. To override this behaviour, the user must select 'Print preview' and then set the print size to 100% (default is Shrink To Fit).

A better option for full control on printed margins is to use the @page directive to set the paper margin, which will affect the margin on paper outside the html body element, which is normally controlled by the browser. See http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-CSS2-19980512/page.html.
This currently works in all major browsers except Safari.
In Internet explorer, the margin is actually set to this value in the settings for this printing, and if you do Preview you will get this as default, but the user can change it in the preview.

@page  
{ 
    size: auto;   /* auto is the initial value */ 

    /* this affects the margin in the printer settings */ 
    margin: 25mm 25mm 25mm 25mm;  
} 

body  
{ 
    /* this affects the margin on the content before sending to printer */ 
    margin: 0px;  
}

Aborting a stash pop in Git

I solved this in a somewhat different way. Here's what happened.

First, I popped on the wrong branch and got conflicts. The stash remained intact but the index was in conflict resolution, blocking many commands.

A simple git reset HEAD aborted the conflict resolution and left the uncommitted (and UNWANTED) changes.

Several git co <filename> reverted the index to the initial state. Finally, I switched branch with git co <branch-name> and run a new git stash pop, which resolved without conflicts.

MySQL: How to allow remote connection to mysql

That is allowed by default on MySQL.

What is disabled by default is remote root access. If you want to enable that, run this SQL command locally:

 GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password' WITH GRANT OPTION;
 FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

And then find the following line and comment it out in your my.cnf file, which usually lives on /etc/mysql/my.cnf on Unix/OSX systems. In some cases the location for the file is /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf).

If it's a Windows system, you can find it in the MySQL installation directory, usually something like C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.5\ and the filename will be my.ini.

Change line

 bind-address = 127.0.0.1

to

 #bind-address = 127.0.0.1

And restart the MySQL server (Unix/OSX, and Windows) for the changes to take effect.

How to make join queries using Sequelize on Node.js

While the accepted answer isn't technically wrong, it doesn't answer the original question nor the follow up question in the comments, which was what I came here looking for. But I figured it out, so here goes.

If you want to find all Posts that have Users (and only the ones that have users) where the SQL would look like this:

SELECT * FROM posts INNER JOIN users ON posts.user_id = users.id

Which is semantically the same thing as the OP's original SQL:

SELECT * FROM posts, users WHERE posts.user_id = users.id

then this is what you want:

Posts.findAll({
  include: [{
    model: User,
    required: true
   }]
}).then(posts => {
  /* ... */
});

Setting required to true is the key to producing an inner join. If you want a left outer join (where you get all Posts, regardless of whether there's a user linked) then change required to false, or leave it off since that's the default:

Posts.findAll({
  include: [{
    model: User,
//  required: false
   }]
}).then(posts => {
  /* ... */
});

If you want to find all Posts belonging to users whose birth year is in 1984, you'd want:

Posts.findAll({
  include: [{
    model: User,
    where: {year_birth: 1984}
   }]
}).then(posts => {
  /* ... */
});

Note that required is true by default as soon as you add a where clause in.

If you want all Posts, regardless of whether there's a user attached but if there is a user then only the ones born in 1984, then add the required field back in:

Posts.findAll({
  include: [{
    model: User,
    where: {year_birth: 1984}
    required: false,
   }]
}).then(posts => {
  /* ... */
});

If you want all Posts where the name is "Sunshine" and only if it belongs to a user that was born in 1984, you'd do this:

Posts.findAll({
  where: {name: "Sunshine"},
  include: [{
    model: User,
    where: {year_birth: 1984}
   }]
}).then(posts => {
  /* ... */
});

If you want all Posts where the name is "Sunshine" and only if it belongs to a user that was born in the same year that matches the post_year attribute on the post, you'd do this:

Posts.findAll({
  where: {name: "Sunshine"},
  include: [{
    model: User,
    where: ["year_birth = post_year"]
   }]
}).then(posts => {
  /* ... */
});

I know, it doesn't make sense that somebody would make a post the year they were born, but it's just an example - go with it. :)

I figured this out (mostly) from this doc:

Use Invoke-WebRequest with a username and password for basic authentication on the GitHub API

This is what worked for our particular situation.

Notes are from Wikipedia on Basic Auth from the Client Side. Thank you to @briantist's answer for the help!

Combine the username and password into a single string username:password

$user = "shaunluttin"
$pass = "super-strong-alpha-numeric-symbolic-long-password"
$pair = "${user}:${pass}"

Encode the string to the RFC2045-MIME variant of Base64, except not limited to 76 char/line.

$bytes = [System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes($pair)
$base64 = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String($bytes)

Create the Auth value as the method, a space, and then the encoded pair Method Base64String

$basicAuthValue = "Basic $base64"

Create the header Authorization: Basic QWxhZGRpbjpvcGVuIHNlc2FtZQ==

$headers = @{ Authorization = $basicAuthValue }

Invoke the web-request

Invoke-WebRequest -uri "https://api.github.com/user" -Headers $headers

The PowerShell version of this is more verbose than the cURL version is. Why is that? @briantist pointed out that GitHub is breaking the RFC and PowerShell is sticking to it. Does that mean that cURL is also breaking with the standard?

Accessing a resource via codebehind in WPF

You can use a resource key like this:

<UserControl.Resources>
    <SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static local:Foo.MyKey}">Blue</SolidColorBrush>
</UserControl.Resources>
<Grid Background="{StaticResource {x:Static local:Foo.MyKey}}" />

public partial class Foo : UserControl
{
    public Foo()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        var brush = (SolidColorBrush)FindResource(MyKey);
    }

    public static ResourceKey MyKey { get; } = CreateResourceKey();

    private static ComponentResourceKey CreateResourceKey([CallerMemberName] string caller = null)
    {
        return new ComponentResourceKey(typeof(Foo), caller); ;
    }
}

How to fix Warning Illegal string offset in PHP

Magic word is: isset

Validate the entry:

} else {
    $theme_img = 'recent_works_iso_thumbnail';
}

How to format a DateTime in PowerShell

The same as you would in .NET:

$DateStr = $Date.ToString("yyyyMMdd")

Or:

$DateStr = '{0:yyyyMMdd}' -f $Date

Get the week start date and week end date from week number

Below query will give data between start and end of current week starting from sunday to saturday

SELECT DOB FROM PROFILE_INFO WHERE DAY(DOB) BETWEEN
DAY( CURRENT_DATE() - (SELECT DAYOFWEEK(CURRENT_DATE())-1))
AND
DAY((CURRENT_DATE()+(7 - (SELECT DAYOFWEEK(CURRENT_DATE())) ) ))
AND
MONTH(DOB)=MONTH(CURRENT_DATE())

Select elements by attribute

In addition to selecting all elements with an attribute $('[someAttribute]') or $('input[someAttribute]') you can also use a function for doing boolean checks on an object such as in a click handler:

if(! this.hasAttribute('myattr') ) { ...

Solution to INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE error on Android

Workaround:

Compile as 2.1 without android:installLocation="preferExternal".

OK?

Compile as 2.2 including android:installLocation="preferExternal".

This will still install on SDK version less than 8 (the XML tag is ignored).

How do you give iframe 100% height

The problem with iframes not getting 100% height is not because they're unwieldy. The problem is that for them to get 100% height they need their parents to have 100% height. If one of the iframe's parents is not 100% tall the iframe won't be able to go beyond that parent's height.

So the best possible solution would be:

html, body, iframe { height: 100%; }

…given the iframe is directly under body. If the iframe has a parent between itself and the body, the iframe will still get the height of its parent. One must explicitly set the height of every parent to 100% as well (if that's what one wants).

Tested in:

Chrome 30, Firefox 24, Safari 6.0.5, Opera 16, IE 7, 8, 9 and 10

PS: I don't mean to be picky but the solution marked as correct doesn't work on Firefox 24 at the time of this writing, but worked on Chrome 30. Haven't tested on other browsers though. I came across the error on Firefox because the page I was testing had very little content... It could be it's my meager markup or the CSS reset altering the output, but if I experienced this error I guess the accepted answer doesn't work in every situation.

Update 2021

@Zeni suggested this in 2015:

iframe { height: 100vh }

...and indeed it does the trick!

Careful with positioning as it can potentially break the effect. Test thoroughly, you might not need positioning depending of what you're trying to achieve.

How can I open a .db file generated by eclipse(android) form DDMS-->File explorer-->data--->data-->packagename-->database?

Download this Sqlite manager its the easiest one to use Sqlite manager

and drag and drop your fetched file on its running instance

only drawback of this Sqlite Manager it stop responding if you run some SQL statement that has Syntax Error in it.

So i Use Firefox Plugin Side by side also which you can find at FireFox addons

Message "Async callback was not invoked within the 5000 ms timeout specified by jest.setTimeout"

For Jest 24.9+ we just need to add --testTimeout in the command line

--testTimeout= 10000 // timeout of 10s

The default timeout value is 5000. This will be applicable for all test cases.

or if you want to give timeout to particular function only then you can use this syntax while declaring the test case.

test(name, fn, timeout)

example

test('example', async () => {
  

}, 10000); // timeout of 10s (default is 5000)

Preferred way of loading resources in Java

I search three places as shown below. Comments welcome.

public URL getResource(String resource){

    URL url ;

    //Try with the Thread Context Loader. 
    ClassLoader classLoader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
    if(classLoader != null){
        url = classLoader.getResource(resource);
        if(url != null){
            return url;
        }
    }

    //Let's now try with the classloader that loaded this class.
    classLoader = Loader.class.getClassLoader();
    if(classLoader != null){
        url = classLoader.getResource(resource);
        if(url != null){
            return url;
        }
    }

    //Last ditch attempt. Get the resource from the classpath.
    return ClassLoader.getSystemResource(resource);
}

Cleanest way to build an SQL string in Java

You can also have a look at MyBatis (www.mybatis.org) . It helps you write SQL statements outside your java code and maps the sql results into your java objects among other things.

A SQL Query to select a string between two known strings

The problem is that the second part of your substring argument is including the first index. You need to subtract the first index from your second index to make this work.

SELECT SUBSTRING(@Text, CHARINDEX('the dog', @Text)
, CHARINDEX('immediately',@text) - CHARINDEX('the dog', @Text) + Len('immediately'))

UILabel is not auto-shrinking text to fit label size

also my solution is the boolean label.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = YES; BUT. You must in the interface Builder the Word Wrapping switch to "CLIP". Then autoshrink the Labels. This is very important.

How to enable Logger.debug() in Log4j

You probably have a log4j.properties file somewhere in the project. In that file you can configure which level of debug output you want. See this example:

log4j.rootLogger=info, console

log4j.appender.console=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.console.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.console.layout.ConversionPattern=%-4r [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n

log4j.logger.com.example=debug

The first line sets the log level for the root logger to "info", i.e. only info, warn, error and fatal will be printed to the console (which is the appender defined a little below that).

The last line sets the logger for com.example.* (if you get your loggers via LogFactory.getLogger(getClass())) will be at debug level, i.e. debug will also be printed.

How to encrypt String in Java

You can use Jasypt

With Jasypt, encrypting and checking a password can be as simple as...

StrongTextEncryptor textEncryptor = new StrongTextEncryptor();
textEncryptor.setPassword(myEncryptionPassword);

Encryption:

String myEncryptedText = textEncryptor.encrypt(myText);

Decryption:

String plainText = textEncryptor.decrypt(myEncryptedText);

Gradle:

compile group: 'org.jasypt', name: 'jasypt', version: '1.9.2'

Features:

Jasypt provides you with easy unidirectional (digest) and bidirectional encryption techniques.

Open API for use with any JCE provider, and not only the default Java VM one. Jasypt can be easily used with well-known providers like Bouncy Castle. Learn more.

Higher security for your users' passwords. Learn more.

Binary encryption support. Jasypt allows the digest and encryption of binaries (byte arrays). Encrypt your objects or files when needed (for being sent over the net, for example).

Number encryption support. Besides texts and binaries, it allows the digest and encryption of numeric values (BigInteger and BigDecimal, other numeric types are supported when encrypting for Hibernate persistence). Learn more.

Completely thread-safe.

Support for encryptor/digester pooling, in order to achieve high performance in multi-processor/multi-core systems.

Includes a lightweight ("lite") version of the library for better manageability in size-restrictive environments like mobile platforms.

Provides both easy, no-configuration encryption tools for users new to encryption, and also highly configurable standard encryption tools, for power-users.

Hibernate 3 and 4 optional integration for persisting fields of your mapped entities in an encrypted manner. Encryption of fields is defined in the Hibernate mapping files, and it remains transparent for the rest of the application (useful for sensitive personal data, databases with many read-enabled users...). Encrypt texts, binaries, numbers, booleans, dates... Learn more.

Seamlessly integrable into a Spring application, with specific integration features for Spring 2, Spring 3.0 and Spring 3.1. All the digesters and encryptors in jasypt are designed to be easily used (instantiated, dependency-injected...) from Spring. And, because of their being thread-safe, they can be used without synchronization worries in a singleton-oriented environment like Spring. Learn more: Spring 2, Spring 3.0, Spring 3.1.

Spring Security (formerly Acegi Security) optional integration for performing password encryption and matching tasks for the security framework, improving the security of your users' passwords by using safer password encryption mechanisms and providing you with a higher degree of configuration and control. Learn more.

Provides advanced functionality for encrypting all or part of an application's configuration files, including sensitive information like database passwords. Seamlessly integrate encrypted configuration into plain, Spring-based and/or Hibernate-enabled applications. Learn more.

Provides easy to use CLI (Command Line Interface) tools to allow developers initialise their encrypted data and include encryption/decryption/digest operations in maintenance tasks or scripts. Learn more.

Integrates into Apache Wicket, for more robust encryption of URLs in your secure applications.

Comprehensive guides and javadoc documentation, to allow developers to better understand what they are really doing to their data.

Robust charset support, designed to adequately encrypt and digest texts whichever the original charset is. Complete support for languages like Japanese, Korean, Arabic... with no encoding or platform issues.

Very high level of configuration capabilities: The developer can implement tricks like instructing an "encryptor" to ask a, for example, remote HTTPS server for the password to be used for encryption. It lets you meet your security needs.

SQLite string contains other string query

While LIKE is suitable for this case, a more general purpose solution is to use instr, which doesn't require characters in the search string to be escaped. Note: instr is available starting from Sqlite 3.7.15.

SELECT *
  FROM TABLE  
 WHERE instr(column, 'cats') > 0;

Also, keep in mind that LIKE is case-insensitive, whereas instr is case-sensitive.

Adding quotes to a string in VBScript

You can escape by doubling the quotes

g="abcd """ & a & """"

or write an explicit chr() call

g="abcd " & chr(34) & a & chr(34)

How can I have Github on my own server?

How to kill all processes matching a name?

From man 1 pkill

-f     The pattern is normally only matched against the process name.
       When -f is set, the full command line is used.

Which means, for example, if we see these lines in ps aux:

apache   24268  0.0  2.6 388152 27116 ?        S    Jun13   0:10 /usr/sbin/httpd
apache   24272  0.0  2.6 387944 27104 ?        S    Jun13   0:09 /usr/sbin/httpd
apache   24319  0.0  2.6 387884 27316 ?        S    Jun15   0:04 /usr/sbin/httpd

We can kill them all using the pkill -f option:

pkill -f httpd

URL Encode a string in jQuery for an AJAX request

Better way:

encodeURIComponent escapes all characters except the following: alphabetic, decimal digits, - _ . ! ~ * ' ( )

To avoid unexpected requests to the server, you should call encodeURIComponent on any user-entered parameters that will be passed as part of a URI. For example, a user could type "Thyme &time=again" for a variable comment. Not using encodeURIComponent on this variable will give comment=Thyme%20&time=again. Note that the ampersand and the equal sign mark a new key and value pair. So instead of having a POST comment key equal to "Thyme &time=again", you have two POST keys, one equal to "Thyme " and another (time) equal to again.

For application/x-www-form-urlencoded (POST), per http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interac...m-content-type, spaces are to be replaced by '+', so one may wish to follow a encodeURIComponent replacement with an additional replacement of "%20" with "+".

If one wishes to be more stringent in adhering to RFC 3986 (which reserves !, ', (, ), and *), even though these characters have no formalized URI delimiting uses, the following can be safely used:

function fixedEncodeURIComponent (str) {
  return encodeURIComponent(str).replace(/[!'()]/g, escape).replace(/\*/g, "%2A");
}

Initializing C# auto-properties

Update - the answer below was written before C# 6 came along. In C# 6 you can write:

public class Foo
{
    public string Bar { get; set; } = "bar";
}

You can also write read-only automatically-implemented properties, which are only writable in the constructor (but can also be given a default initial value):

public class Foo
{
    public string Bar { get; }

    public Foo(string bar)
    {
        Bar = bar;
    }
}

It's unfortunate that there's no way of doing this right now. You have to set the value in the constructor. (Using constructor chaining can help to avoid duplication.)

Automatically implemented properties are handy right now, but could certainly be nicer. I don't find myself wanting this sort of initialization as often as a read-only automatically implemented property which could only be set in the constructor and would be backed by a read-only field.

This hasn't happened up until and including C# 5, but is being planned for C# 6 - both in terms of allowing initialization at the point of declaration, and allowing for read-only automatically implemented properties to be initialized in a constructor body.

mkdir -p functionality in Python

With Pathlib from python3 standard library:

Path(mypath).mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)

If parents is true, any missing parents of this path are created as needed; they are created with the default permissions without taking mode into account (mimicking the POSIX mkdir -p command). If exist_ok is false (the default), an FileExistsError is raised if the target directory already exists.

If exist_ok is true, FileExistsError exceptions will be ignored (same behavior as the POSIX mkdir -p command), but only if the last path component is not an existing non-directory file.

Changed in version 3.5: The exist_ok parameter was added.

In Python, how do you convert a `datetime` object to seconds?

To get the Unix time (seconds since January 1, 1970):

>>> import datetime, time
>>> t = datetime.datetime(2011, 10, 21, 0, 0)
>>> time.mktime(t.timetuple())
1319148000.0

Update a table using JOIN in SQL Server?

Another approach would be to use MERGE

  ;WITH cteTable1(CalculatedColumn, CommonField)
  AS
  (
    select CalculatedColumn, CommonField from Table1 Where BatchNo = '110'
  )
  MERGE cteTable1 AS target
    USING (select "Calculated Column", "Common Field" FROM dbo.Table2) AS source ("Calculated Column", "Common Field")
    ON (target.CommonField = source."Common Field")
    WHEN MATCHED THEN 
        UPDATE SET target.CalculatedColumn = source."Calculated Column";

-Merge is part of the SQL Standard

-Also I'm pretty sure inner join updates are non deterministic.. Similar question here where the answer talks about that http://ask.sqlservercentral.com/questions/19089/updating-two-tables-using-single-query.html

grabbing first row in a mysql query only

To return only one row use LIMIT 1:

SELECT *
FROM tbl_foo
WHERE name = 'sarmen'
LIMIT 1

It doesn't make sense to say 'first row' or 'last row' unless you have an ORDER BY clause. Assuming you add an ORDER BY clause then you can use LIMIT in the following ways:

  • To get the first row use LIMIT 1.
  • To get the 2nd row you can use limit with an offset: LIMIT 1, 1.
  • To get the last row invert the order (change ASC to DESC or vice versa) then use LIMIT 1.

Integrating Dropzone.js into existing HTML form with other fields

The "dropzone.js" is the most common library for uploading images. If you want to have the "dropzone.js" as just part of your form, you should do the following steps:

1) for the client side:

HTML :

    <form action="/" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="POST">
        <input type="text" id ="Username" name ="Username" />
        <div class="dropzone" id="my-dropzone" name="mainFileUploader">
            <div class="fallback">
                <input name="file" type="file" multiple />
            </div>
        </div>
    </form>
    <div>
        <button type="submit" id="submit-all"> upload </button>
    </div>

JQuery:

    <script>
        Dropzone.options.myDropzone = {
            url: "/Account/Create",
            autoProcessQueue: false,
            uploadMultiple: true,
            parallelUploads: 100,
            maxFiles: 100,
            acceptedFiles: "image/*",

            init: function () {

                var submitButton = document.querySelector("#submit-all");
                var wrapperThis = this;

                submitButton.addEventListener("click", function () {
                    wrapperThis.processQueue();
                });

                this.on("addedfile", function (file) {

                    // Create the remove button
                    var removeButton = Dropzone.createElement("<button class='btn btn-lg dark'>Remove File</button>");

                    // Listen to the click event
                    removeButton.addEventListener("click", function (e) {
                        // Make sure the button click doesn't submit the form:
                        e.preventDefault();
                        e.stopPropagation();

                        // Remove the file preview.
                        wrapperThis.removeFile(file);
                        // If you want to the delete the file on the server as well,
                        // you can do the AJAX request here.
                    });

                    // Add the button to the file preview element.
                    file.previewElement.appendChild(removeButton);
                });

                this.on('sendingmultiple', function (data, xhr, formData) {
                    formData.append("Username", $("#Username").val());
                });
            }
        };
    </script>

2) for the server side:

ASP.Net MVC

    [HttpPost]
    public ActionResult Create()
    {
        var postedUsername = Request.Form["Username"].ToString();
        foreach (var imageFile in Request.Files)
        {

        }

        return Json(new { status = true, Message = "Account created." });
    }

angular 2 ngIf and CSS transition/animation

AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute

Variables names are only locally meaningful.

Once you hit

return s1,s2,s3,s4

at the end of the method, Python constructs a tuple with the values of s1, s2, s3 and s4 as its four members at index 0, 1, 2 and 3 - NOT a dictionary of variable names to values, NOT an object with variable names and their values, etc.

If you want the variable names to be meaningful after you hit return in the method, you must create an object or dictionary.

How do I do a case-insensitive string comparison?

I saw this solution here using regex.

import re
if re.search('mandy', 'Mandy Pande', re.IGNORECASE):
# is True

It works well with accents

In [42]: if re.search("ê","ê", re.IGNORECASE):
....:        print(1)
....:
1

However, it doesn't work with unicode characters case-insensitive. Thank you @Rhymoid for pointing out that as my understanding was that it needs the exact symbol, for the case to be true. The output is as follows:

In [36]: "ß".lower()
Out[36]: 'ß'
In [37]: "ß".upper()
Out[37]: 'SS'
In [38]: "ß".upper().lower()
Out[38]: 'ss'
In [39]: if re.search("ß","ßß", re.IGNORECASE):

Saving numpy array to txt file row wise

An alternative answer is to reshape the array so that it has dimensions (1, N) like so:

savetext(filename, a.reshape(1, a.shape[0]))

This error can also be the result of not having the line,

FIELDS SPECIFIED BY ','

(if you're using commas to separate the fields) in your MySQL syntax, as described in this page of the MySQL docs.

import module from string variable

importlib.import_module is what you are looking for. It returns the imported module. (Only available for Python >= 2.7 or 3.x):

import importlib

mymodule = importlib.import_module('matplotlib.text')

You can thereafter access anything in the module as mymodule.myclass, etc.

Base64 encoding and decoding in client-side Javascript

Some browsers such as Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera and IE10+ can handle Base64 natively. Take a look at this Stackoverflow question. It's using btoa() and atob() functions.

For server-side JavaScript (Node), you can use Buffers to decode.

If you are going for a cross-browser solution, there are existing libraries like CryptoJS or code like:

http://ntt.cc/2008/01/19/base64-encoder-decoder-with-javascript.html

With the latter, you need to thoroughly test the function for cross browser compatibility. And error has already been reported.

Simplest way to wait some asynchronous tasks complete, in Javascript?

I see you are using mongoose so you are talking about server-side JavaScript. In that case I advice looking at async module and use async.parallel(...). You will find this module really helpful - it was developed to solve the problem you are struggling with. Your code may look like this

var async = require('async');

var calls = [];

['aaa','bbb','ccc'].forEach(function(name){
    calls.push(function(callback) {
        conn.collection(name).drop(function(err) {
            if (err)
                return callback(err);
            console.log('dropped');
            callback(null, name);
        });
    }
)});

async.parallel(calls, function(err, result) {
    /* this code will run after all calls finished the job or
       when any of the calls passes an error */
    if (err)
        return console.log(err);
    console.log(result);
});

how to run a winform from console application?

Here is the best method that I've found: First, set your projects output type to "Windows Application", then P/Invoke AllocConsole to create a console window.

internal static class NativeMethods
{
    [DllImport("kernel32.dll")]
    internal static extern Boolean AllocConsole();
}

static class Program
{

    static void Main(string[] args) {
        if (args.Length == 0) {
            // run as windows app
            Application.EnableVisualStyles();
            Application.Run(new Form1()); 
        } else {
            // run as console app
            NativeMethods.AllocConsole();
            Console.WriteLine("Hello World");
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }

}

Is there a GUI design app for the Tkinter / grid geometry?

The best tool for doing layouts using grid, IMHO, is graph paper and a pencil. I know you're asking for some type of program, but it really does work. I've been doing Tk programming for a couple of decades so layout comes quite easily for me, yet I still break out graph paper when I have a complex GUI.

Another thing to think about is this: The real power of Tkinter geometry managers comes from using them together*. If you set out to use only grid, or only pack, you're doing it wrong. Instead, design your GUI on paper first, then look for patterns that are best solved by one or the other. Pack is the right choice for certain types of layouts, and grid is the right choice for others. For a very small set of problems, place is the right choice. Don't limit your thinking to using only one of the geometry managers.

* The only caveat to using both geometry managers is that you should only use one per container (a container can be any widget, but typically it will be a frame).

Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Cannot write to SD Card

Android changed how permissions work with Android 6.0 that's the reason for your errors. You have to actually request and check if the permission was granted by user to use. So permissions in manifest file will only work for api below 21. Check this link for a snippet of how permissions are requested in api23 http://android-developers.blogspot.nl/2015/09/google-play-services-81-and-android-60.html?m=1

Code:-

If (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(MainActivity.this, Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) !=
                PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(MainActivity.this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE}, STORAGE_PERMISSION_RC);
            return;
        }`


` @Override
    public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, @NonNull String[] permissions, @NonNull int[] grantResults) {
        super.onRequestPermissionsResult(requestCode, permissions, grantResults);
        if (requestCode == STORAGE_PERMISSION_RC) {
            if (grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                //permission granted  start reading
            } else {
                Toast.makeText(this, "No permission to read external storage.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        }
    }

What is the difference between CMD and ENTRYPOINT in a Dockerfile?

In a nutshell:

  • CMD sets default command and/or parameters, which can be overwritten from command line when docker container runs.
  • ENTRYPOINT command and parameters will not be overwritten from command line. Instead, all command line arguments will be added after ENTRYPOINT parameters.

If you need more details or would like to see difference on example, there is a blog post that comprehensively compare CMD and ENTRYPOINT with lots of examples - http://goinbigdata.com/docker-run-vs-cmd-vs-entrypoint/

How can I get this ASP.NET MVC SelectList to work?

It's very simple to get SelectList and SelectedValue working together, even if your property isn't a simple object like a Int, String or a Double value.

Example:

Assuming our Region object is something like this:

public class Region {
     public Guid ID { get; set; }
     public Guid Name { get; set; }
}

And your view model is something like:

public class ContactViewModel {
     public DateTime Date { get; set; }
     public Region Region { get; set; }
     public List<Region> Regions { get; set; }
}

You can have the code below:

@Html.DropDownListFor(x => x.Region, new SelectList(Model.Regions, "ID", "Name")) 

Only if you override the ToString method of Region object to something like:

public class Region {
     public Guid ID { get; set; }
     public Guid Name { get; set; }

     public override string ToString()
     {
         return ID.ToString();
     }
}

This have 100% garantee to work.

But I really believe the best way to get SelectList 100% working in all circustances is by using the Equals method to test DropDownList or ListBox property value against each item on items collection.

Keeping ASP.NET Session Open / Alive

Here JQuery plugin version of Maryan solution with handle optimization. Only with JQuery 1.7+!

(function ($) {
    $.fn.heartbeat = function (options) {
        var settings = $.extend({
            // These are the defaults.
            events: 'mousemove keydown'
            , url: '/Home/KeepSessionAlive'
            , every: 5*60*1000
        }, options);

        var keepSessionAlive = false
         , $container = $(this)
         , handler = function () {
             keepSessionAlive = true;
             $container.off(settings.events, handler)
         }, reset = function () {
             keepSessionAlive = false;
             $container.on(settings.events, handler);
             setTimeout(sessionAlive, settings.every);
         }, sessionAlive = function () {
             keepSessionAlive && $.ajax({
                 type: "POST"
                 , url: settings.url
                 ,success: reset
                });
         };
        reset();

        return this;
    }
})(jQuery)

and how it does import in your *.cshtml

$('body').heartbeat(); // Simple
$('body').heartbeat({url:'@Url.Action("Home", "heartbeat")'}); // different url
$('body').heartbeat({every:6*60*1000}); // different timeout

How to send a simple string between two programs using pipes?

if( dup2( STDIN_FILENO, fdin ) < 0 ){
    perror( "dup2(  )" );
    exit( errno );

    perror( "read(  )" );    
close( fdin );    

But, I think that fcntl can be a better solution

How do I mock a static method that returns void with PowerMock?

You can do it the same way you do it with Mockito on real instances. For example you can chain stubs, the following line will make the first call do nothing, then second and future call to getResources will throw the exception :

// the stub of the static method
doNothing().doThrow(Exception.class).when(StaticResource.class);
StaticResource.getResource("string");

// the use of the mocked static code
StaticResource.getResource("string"); // do nothing
StaticResource.getResource("string"); // throw Exception

Thanks to a remark of Matt Lachman, note that if the default answer is not changed at mock creation time, the mock will do nothing by default. Hence writing the following code is equivalent to not writing it.

doNothing().doThrow(Exception.class).when(StaticResource.class);
StaticResource.getResource("string");

Though that being said, it can be interesting for colleagues that will read the test that you expect nothing for this particular code. Of course this can be adapted depending on how is perceived understandability of the test.


By the way, in my humble opinion you should avoid mocking static code if your crafting new code. At Mockito we think it's usually a hint to bad design, it might lead to poorly maintainable code. Though existing legacy code is yet another story.

Generally speaking if you need to mock private or static method, then this method does too much and should be externalized in an object that will be injected in the tested object.

Hope that helps.

How do I create a user account for basic authentication?

Unfortunatelly, for IIS installed on Windows 7/8 machines, there is no option to create users only for IIS authentification. For Windows Server there is that option where you can add users from IIS Manager UI. These users have roles only on IIS, but not for the rest of the system. In this article it shows how you add users, but it is incorrect stating that is also appliable to standard OS, it only applies to server versions.

How to bind event listener for rendered elements in Angular 2?

In order to add an EventListener to an element in angular 2+, we can use the method listen of the Renderer2 service (Renderer is deprecated, so use Renderer2):

listen(target: 'window'|'document'|'body'|any, eventName: string, callback: (event: any) => boolean | void): () => void

Example:

export class ListenDemo implements AfterViewInit { 
   @ViewChild('testElement') 
   private testElement: ElementRef;
   globalInstance: any;       

   constructor(private renderer: Renderer2) {
   }

   ngAfterViewInit() {
       this.globalInstance = this.renderer.listen(this.testElement.nativeElement, 'click', () => {
           this.renderer.setStyle(this.testElement.nativeElement, 'color', 'green');
       });
    }
}

Note:

When you use this method to add an event listener to an element in the dom, you should remove this event listener when the component is destroyed

You can do that this way:

ngOnDestroy() {
  this.globalInstance();
}

The way of use of ElementRef in this method should not expose your angular application to a security risk. for more on this referrer to ElementRef security risk angular 2

Rotate an image in image source in html

This CSS seems to work in Safari and Chrome:

div#div2
{
-webkit-transform:rotate(90deg); /* Chrome, Safari, Opera */
transform:rotate(90deg); /* Standard syntax */
}

and in the body:

<div id="div2"><img src="image.jpg"  ></div>

But this (and the .rotate90 example above) pushes the rotated image higher up on the page than if it were un-rotated. Not sure how to control placement of the image relative to text or other rotated images.

Error resolving template "index", template might not exist or might not be accessible by any of the configured Template Resolvers

index.html should be inside templates, as I know. So, your second attempt looks correct.

But, as the error message says, index.html looks like having some errors. E.g. the in the third line, the meta tag should be actually head tag, I think.

How to while loop until the end of a file in Python without checking for empty line?

Don't loop through a file this way. Instead use a for loop.

for line in f:
    vowel += sum(ch.isvowel() for ch in line)

In fact your whole program is just:

VOWELS = {'A','E','I','O','U','a','e','i','o','u'}
# I'm assuming this is what isvowel checks, unless you're doing something
# fancy to check if 'y' is a vowel
with open('filename.txt') as f:
    vowel = sum(ch in VOWELS for line in f for ch in line.strip())

That said, if you really want to keep using a while loop for some misguided reason:

while True:
    line = f.readline().strip()
    if line == '':
        # either end of file or just a blank line.....
        # we'll assume EOF, because we don't have a choice with the while loop!
        break

How to change dot size in gnuplot

Get data from file input in JQuery

I created a form data object and appended the file:

var form = new FormData(); 
form.append("video", $("#fileInput")[0].files[0]);

and i got:

------WebKitFormBoundaryNczYRonipfsmaBOK
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="video"; filename="Wildlife.wmv"
Content-Type: video/x-ms-wmv

in the headers sent. I can confirm this works because my file was sent and stored in a folder on my server. If you don't know how to use the FormData object there is some documentation online, but not much. Form Data Object Explination by Mozilla

jquery find closest previous sibling with class

Using prevUntil() will allow us to get a distant sibling without having to get all. I had a particularly long set that was too CPU intensive using prevAll().

var category = $('li.current_sub').prev('li.par_cat');
if (category.length == 0){
  category = $('li.current_sub').prevUntil('li.par_cat').last().prev();
}
category.show();

This gets the first preceding sibling if it matches, otherwise it gets the sibling preceding the one that matches, so we just back up one more with prev() to get the desired element.

JavaScript before leaving the page

In order to have a popop with Chrome 14+, you need to do the following :

jQuery(window).bind('beforeunload', function(){
    return 'my text';
});

The user will be asked if he want to stay or leave.

SyntaxError: multiple statements found while compiling a single statement

A (partial) practical work-around is to put things into a throw-away function.

Pasting

x = 1
x += 1
print(x)

results in

>>> x = 1
x += 1
print(x)
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    x += 1
print(x)

    ^
SyntaxError: multiple statements found while compiling a single statement
>>>

However, pasting

def abc():
  x = 1
  x += 1
  print(x)

works:

>>> def abc():
  x = 1
  x += 1
  print(x)
>>> abc()
2
>>>

Of course, this is OK for a quick one-off, won't work for everything you might want to do, etc. But then, going to ipython / jupyter qtconsole is probably the next simplest option.

Java difference between FileWriter and BufferedWriter

From the Java API specification:

FileWriter

Convenience class for writing character files. The constructors of this class assume that the default character encoding and the default byte-buffer size are acceptable.

BufferedWriter

Write text to a character-output stream, buffering characters so as to provide for the efficient writing of single characters, arrays, and strings.

    // print our string
    printf("%s\n", strlen (buf));

    return 0;

Is it possible to style a select box?

I've seen some jQuery plugins out there that convert <select>'s to <ol>'s and <option>'s to <li>'s, so that you can style it with CSS. Couldn't be too hard to roll your own.

Here's one: https://gist.github.com/1139558 (Used to he here, but it looks like the site is down.)

Use it like this:

$('#myselectbox').selectbox();

Style it like this:

div.selectbox-wrapper ul {
  list-style-type:none;
  margin:0px;
  padding:0px;
}
div.selectbox-wrapper ul li.selected { 
  background-color: #EAF2FB;
}
div.selectbox-wrapper ul li.current { 
  background-color: #CDD8E4;
}
div.selectbox-wrapper ul li {
  list-style-type:none;
  display:block;
  margin:0;
  padding:2px;
  cursor:pointer;
}

How do I make a Mac Terminal pop-up/alert? Applescript?

Use osascript. For example:

osascript -e 'tell app "Finder" to display dialog "Hello World"' 

Replacing “Finder” with whatever app you desire. Note if that app is backgrounded, the dialog will appear in the background too. To always show in the foreground, use “System Events” as the app:

osascript -e 'tell app "System Events" to display dialog "Hello World"'

Running Jupyter via command line on Windows

Here is how I resolved stated issue, hope it helps:

  1. install python 3.7 using official website for python, while installing include installing PATH by checking it's box

  2. after that open cmd (be sure to open it after step 1) and write: pip install jupyter ENTER

  3. now you should be able to open jupyter notebook by using command: jupyter notebook

Seems simple, but it may as well help.

How to include Authorization header in cURL POST HTTP Request in PHP?

@jason-mccreary is totally right. Besides I recommend you this code to get more info in case of malfunction:

$rest = curl_exec($crl);

if ($rest === false)
{
    // throw new Exception('Curl error: ' . curl_error($crl));
    print_r('Curl error: ' . curl_error($crl));
}

curl_close($crl);
print_r($rest);

EDIT 1

To debug you can set CURLOPT_HEADER to true to check HTTP response with firebug::net or similar.

curl_setopt($crl, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);

EDIT 2

About Curl error: SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK try adding this headers (just to debug, in a production enviroment you should keep these options in true):

curl_setopt($crl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
curl_setopt($crl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);

In NetBeans how do I change the Default JDK?

If I remember correctly, you'll need to set the netbeans_jdkhome property in your netbeans config file. Should be in your etc/netbeans.conf file.

Jasmine.js comparing arrays

Just did the test and it works with toEqual

please find my test:

http://jsfiddle.net/7q9N7/3/

describe('toEqual', function() {
    it('passes if arrays are equal', function() {
        var arr = [1, 2, 3];
        expect(arr).toEqual([1, 2, 3]);
    });
});

Just for information:

toBe() versus toEqual(): toEqual() checks equivalence. toBe(), on the other hand, makes sure that they're the exact same object.

C++ display stack trace on exception

Cpp-tool ex_diag - easyweight, multiplatform, minimal resource using, simple and flexible at trace.

Save the console.log in Chrome to a file

If you're running an Apache server on your localhost (don't do this on a production server), you can also post the results to a script instead of writing it to console.

So instead of console.log, you can write:

JSONP('http://localhost/save.php', {fn: 'filename.txt', data: json});

Then save.php can do this

<?php

 $fn = $_REQUEST['fn'];
 $data = $_REQUEST['data'];

 file_put_contents("path/$fn", $data);

Matching a Forward Slash with a regex

You can escape it like this.

/\//ig; //  Matches /

    data.Read(buf, 0, buf.Length);                       
}

Eclipse error "ADB server didn't ACK, failed to start daemon"

Check for the path of the Android directory. It should not contain spaces, etc.

Also check if the plugin has been properly configured in Eclipse ? Preferences.

In my case I had everything checked multiple times, but it was still not working. I was about to reinstall everything, but I came upon an answer on this site (some other post).

Do check your antivirus. It may be blocking the ports of adb.exe or emulator programs, etc. That solved the problem in my case.

Removing pip's cache?

Convert a Python int into a big-endian string of bytes

You can use the struct module:

'>I' is a format string. > means big endian and I means unsigned int. Check the documentation for more format chars.

Encrypting & Decrypting a String in C#

The easiest way that I've seen to do encryption is through RSA

Check out the MSDN on it: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.security.cryptography.rsacryptoserviceprovider.aspx

It does involve using bytes, but when it comes down to it you kind of do want encryption and decryption to be tough to figure out otherwise it will be easy to hack.

What is the difference between 'classic' and 'integrated' pipeline mode in IIS7?

In classic mode IIS works h ISAPI extensions and ISAPI filters directly. And uses two pipe lines , one for native code and other for managed code. You can simply say that in Classic mode IIS 7.x works just as IIS 6 and you dont get extra benefits out of IIS 7.x features.

In integrated mode IIS and ASP.Net are tightly coupled rather then depending on just two DLLs on Asp.net as in case of classic mode.

  • VLOOKUP function in its own cell: =VLOOKUP(A1, B:B, 1, 0) (in say, C1), then formula referencing C1: =IF( C1 > 10, C1 - 10, C1 )
  • create a UDF:

Function MyFunc(a1, a2, a3, a4)
    Dim v as Variant
    v = Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup(a1, a2, a3, a4)
    If v > 10 Then
        MyFunc = v - 10
    Else
        MyFunc = v
    End If
End Function

How do I convert a numpy array to (and display) an image?

Shortest path is to use scipy, like this:

from scipy.misc import toimage
toimage(data).show()

This requires PIL or Pillow to be installed as well.

A similar approach also requiring PIL or Pillow but which may invoke a different viewer is:

from scipy.misc import imshow
imshow(data)
