java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class on path: dexpathlist

I faced this Issue multiple times and they're all solved by disabling Instant Run.

Questions every good Java/Java EE Developer should be able to answer?

  1. Explain the various access modifiers used in Java. I have had lots of people struggle with this, especially default access.
  2. If you could change one thing about the Java language or platform what would it be? Good developers will have an answer here while those who aren't really interested in development probably don't care.
  3. If their CV says something like they use EJB2.1 then ask about EJB3 to see what they know about it. The best developers will keep up with the latest developments even if they don't use the newer versions.

JIRA JQL searching by date - is there a way of getting Today() (Date) instead of Now() (DateTime)

I run it like this -

created > startOfDay(-0d)

It gives me all issues created today. When you change -0d to -1d, it will give you all issues created yesterday and today.

Subversion stuck due to "previous operation has not finished"?

I tried removing the .svn folder to other location and placed it back in the same root folder. After when I tried to update the SVN, it got updated. I don't know how exactly it worked.

How to do while loops with multiple conditions

condition1 = False
condition2 = False
val = -1
#here is the function getstuff is not defined, i hope you define it before
#calling it into while loop code

while condition1 and condition2 is False and val == -1:
#as you can see above , we can write that in a simplified syntax.
    val,something1,something2 = getstuff()

    if something1 == 10:
        condition1 = True

    elif something2 == 20:
# here you don't have to use "if" over and over, if have to then write "elif" instead    
    condition2 = True
# ihope it can be helpfull

How can I add 1 day to current date?

Inspired by jpmottin in this question, here's the one line code:

_x000D_
_x000D_
var dateStr = '2019-01-01';_x000D_
var days = 1;_x000D_
_x000D_
var result = new Date(new Date(dateStr).setDate(new Date(dateStr).getDate() + days));_x000D_
_x000D_
document.write('Date: ', result); // Wed Jan 02 2019 09:00:00 GMT+0900 (Japan Standard Time)_x000D_
document.write('<br />');_x000D_
document.write('Trimmed Date: ', result.toISOString().substr(0, 10)); // 2019-01-02
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Hope this helps

Javascript change Div style

PHP Checking if the current date is before or after a set date

if(strtotime($db_date) > time()) {
  echo $db_date;
} else {
  echo 'go ahead';
}

Is if(document.getElementById('something')!=null) identical to if(document.getElementById('something'))?

document.getElementById('something') can be 'undefined'. Usually (thought not always) it's sufficient to do tests like if (document.getElementById('something')).

How to get First and Last record from a sql query?

Why not use order by asc limit 1 and the reverse, order by desc limit 1?

Python PDF library

I already have used Reportlab in one project.

What is the difference between UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1?

My reason for researching this question was from the perspective, is in what way are they compatible. Latin1 charset (iso-8859) is 100% compatible to be stored in a utf8 datastore. All ascii & extended-ascii chars will be stored as single-byte.

Going the other way, from utf8 to Latin1 charset may or may not work. If there are any 2-byte chars (chars beyond extended-ascii 255) they will not store in a Latin1 datastore.

Should I make HTML Anchors with 'name' or 'id'?

<h1 id="foo">Foo Title</h1>

is what should be used. Don't use an anchor unless you want a link.

Enable CORS in Web API 2

For reference using the [EnableCors()] approach will not work if you intercept the Message Pipeline using a DelegatingHandler. In my case was checking for an Authorization header in the request and handling it accordingly before the routing was even invoked, which meant my request was getting processed earlier in the pipeline so the [EnableCors()] had no effect.

In the end found an example CrossDomainHandler class (credit to shaunxu for the Gist) which handles the CORS for me in the pipeline and to use it is as simple as adding another message handler to the pipeline.

public class CrossDomainHandler : DelegatingHandler
    {
        const string Origin = "Origin";
        const string AccessControlRequestMethod = "Access-Control-Request-Method";
        const string AccessControlRequestHeaders = "Access-Control-Request-Headers";
        const string AccessControlAllowOrigin = "Access-Control-Allow-Origin";
        const string AccessControlAllowMethods = "Access-Control-Allow-Methods";
        const string AccessControlAllowHeaders = "Access-Control-Allow-Headers";

        protected override Task<HttpResponseMessage> SendAsync(HttpRequestMessage request, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
        {
            bool isCorsRequest = request.Headers.Contains(Origin);
            bool isPreflightRequest = request.Method == HttpMethod.Options;
            if (isCorsRequest)
            {
                if (isPreflightRequest)
                {
                    return Task.Factory.StartNew(() =>
                    {
                        HttpResponseMessage response = new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.OK);
                        response.Headers.Add(AccessControlAllowOrigin, request.Headers.GetValues(Origin).First());

                        string accessControlRequestMethod = request.Headers.GetValues(AccessControlRequestMethod).FirstOrDefault();
                        if (accessControlRequestMethod != null)
                        {
                            response.Headers.Add(AccessControlAllowMethods, accessControlRequestMethod);
                        }

                        string requestedHeaders = string.Join(", ", request.Headers.GetValues(AccessControlRequestHeaders));
                        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(requestedHeaders))
                        {
                            response.Headers.Add(AccessControlAllowHeaders, requestedHeaders);
                        }

                        return response;
                    }, cancellationToken);
                }
                else
                {
                    return base.SendAsync(request, cancellationToken).ContinueWith(t =>
                    {
                        HttpResponseMessage resp = t.Result;
                        resp.Headers.Add(AccessControlAllowOrigin, request.Headers.GetValues(Origin).First());
                        return resp;
                    });
                }
            }
            else
            {
                return base.SendAsync(request, cancellationToken);
            }
        }
    }

To use it add it to the list of registered message handlers

config.MessageHandlers.Add(new CrossDomainHandler());

Any preflight requests by the Browser are handled and passed on, meaning I didn't need to implement an [HttpOptions] IHttpActionResult method on the Controller.

What do the different readystates in XMLHttpRequest mean, and how can I use them?

The full list of readyState values is:

State  Description
0      The request is not initialized
1      The request has been set up
2      The request has been sent
3      The request is in process
4      The request is complete

(from https://www.w3schools.com/js/js_ajax_http_response.asp)

In practice you almost never use any of them except for 4.

Some XMLHttpRequest implementations may let you see partially received responses in responseText when readyState==3, but this isn't universally supported and shouldn't be relied upon.

How to use store and use session variables across pages?

Every time you start a session (applies to PHP version 5.2.54), session_start() creates a new session id.

Here is the fix that worked for me.

File1.php

session_id('mySessionID'); //SET id first before calling  session start
session_start();

$name = "Nitin Hurkadli";
$_SESSION['username'] = $name;

File2.php

session_id('mySessionID'); 
session_start();

$name = $_SESSION['username'];
echo "Hello  " . $name;

How to change row color in datagridview?

Just a note about setting DefaultCellStyle.BackColor...you can't set it to any transparent value except Color.Empty. That's the default value. That falsely implies (to me, anyway) that transparent colors are OK. They're not. Every row I set to a transparent color just draws the color of selected-rows.

I spent entirely too much time beating my head against the wall over this issue.

How do I import a .dmp file into Oracle?

How to convert a byte array to a hex string in Java?

The Apache Commons Codec library has a Hex class for doing just this type of work.

import org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Hex;

String foo = "I am a string";
byte[] bytes = foo.getBytes();
System.out.println( Hex.encodeHexString( bytes ) );

How do I write a Python dictionary to a csv file?

Your code was very close to working.

Try using a regular csv.writer rather than a DictWriter. The latter is mainly used for writing a list of dictionaries.

Here's some code that writes each key/value pair on a separate row:

import csv

somedict = dict(raymond='red', rachel='blue', matthew='green')
with open('mycsvfile.csv','wb') as f:
    w = csv.writer(f)
    w.writerows(somedict.items())

If instead you want all the keys on one row and all the values on the next, that is also easy:

with open('mycsvfile.csv','wb') as f:
    w = csv.writer(f)
    w.writerow(somedict.keys())
    w.writerow(somedict.values())

Pro tip: When developing code like this, set the writer to w = csv.writer(sys.stderr) so you can more easily see what is being generated. When the logic is perfected, switch back to w = csv.writer(f).

Convert integer to string Jinja

The OP needed to cast as string outside the {% set ... %}. But if that not your case you can do:

{% set curYear = 2013 | string() %}

Note that you need the parenthesis on that jinja filter.

If you're concatenating 2 variables, you can also use the ~ custom operator.

How do you check if a JavaScript Object is a DOM Object?

I suggest a simple way to testing if a variable is an DOM element

function isDomEntity(entity) {
  if(typeof entity  === 'object' && entity.nodeType !== undefined){
     return true;
  }
  else{
     return false;
  }
}

or as HTMLGuy suggested:

const isDomEntity = entity => {
  return typeof entity   === 'object' && entity.nodeType !== undefined
}

Alter MySQL table to add comments on columns

Script for all fields on database:

SELECT 
table_name,
column_name,
CONCAT('ALTER TABLE `',
        TABLE_SCHEMA,
        '`.`',
        table_name,
        '` CHANGE `',
        column_name,
        '` `',
        column_name,
        '` ',
        column_type,
        ' ',
        IF(is_nullable = 'YES', '' , 'NOT NULL '),
        IF(column_default IS NOT NULL, concat('DEFAULT ', IF(column_default IN ('CURRENT_TIMESTAMP', 'CURRENT_TIMESTAMP()', 'NULL', 'b\'0\'', 'b\'1\''), column_default, CONCAT('\'',column_default,'\'') ), ' '), ''),
        IF(column_default IS NULL AND is_nullable = 'YES' AND column_key = '' AND column_type = 'timestamp','NULL ', ''),
        IF(column_default IS NULL AND is_nullable = 'YES' AND column_key = '','DEFAULT NULL ', ''),
        extra,
        ' COMMENT \'',
        column_comment,
        '\' ;') as script
FROM
    information_schema.columns
WHERE
    table_schema = 'my_database_name'
ORDER BY table_name , column_name
  1. Export all to a CSV
  2. Open it on your favorite csv editor

Note: You can improve to only one table if you prefer

The solution given by @Rufinus is great but if you have auto increments it will break it.

How do I POST JSON data with cURL?

It worked for me using:

curl -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"id":100}' http://localhost/api/postJsonReader.do

It was happily mapped to the Spring controller:

@RequestMapping(value = "/postJsonReader", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public @ResponseBody String processPostJsonData(@RequestBody IdOnly idOnly) throws Exception {
        logger.debug("JsonReaderController hit! Reading JSON data!"+idOnly.getId());
        return "JSON Received";
}

IdOnly is a simple POJO with an id property.

How to change time in DateTime?

Use Date.Add and add a New TimeSpan with the new time you want to add

DateTime dt = DateTime.Now
dt.Date.Add(new TimeSpan(12,15,00))

jQuery/JavaScript to replace broken images

You can use GitHub's own fetch for this:

Frontend: https://github.com/github/fetch
or for Backend, a Node.js version: https://github.com/bitinn/node-fetch

fetch(url)
  .then(function(res) {
    if (res.status == '200') {
      return image;
    } else {
      return placeholder;
    }
  }

Edit: This method is going to replace XHR and supposedly already has been in Chrome. To anyone reading this in the future, you may not need the aforementioned library included.

C++ create string of text and variables

In C++11 you can use std::to_string:

std::string var = "sometext" + std::to_string(somevar) + "sometext" + std::to_string(somevar);  

How do I create a local database inside of Microsoft SQL Server 2014?

As per comments, First you need to install an instance of SQL Server if you don't already have one - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143219.aspx

Once this is installed you must connect to this instance (server) and then you can create a database here - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/ms186312.aspx

Adding devices to team provisioning profile

If you have recently created new provisioning profiles, you will have to disconnect your phone, close XCode. Then open XCode, refresh your accounts then build and deploy at least once to your phone.

Subset a dataframe by multiple factor levels

Here's another:

data[data$Code == "A" | data$Code == "B", ]

It's also worth mentioning that the subsetting factor doesn't have to be part of the data frame if it matches the data frame rows in length and order. In this case we made our data frame from this factor anyway. So,

data[Code == "A" | Code == "B", ]

also works, which is one of the really useful things about R.

ToList()-- does it create a new list?

Yes, ToList will create a new list, but because in this case MyObject is a reference type then the new list will contain references to the same objects as the original list.

Updating the SimpleInt property of an object referenced in the new list will also affect the equivalent object in the original list.

(If MyObject was declared as a struct rather than a class then the new list would contain copies of the elements in the original list, and updating a property of an element in the new list would not affect the equivalent element in the original list.)

How to copy a file from one directory to another using PHP?

<?php  
  
// Copy the file from /user/desktop/geek.txt  
// to user/Downloads/geeksforgeeks.txt' 
// directory 
  
// Store the path of source file 
$source = '/user/Desktop/geek.txt';  
  
// Store the path of destination file 
$destination = 'user/Downloads/geeksforgeeks.txt';  
  
// Copy the file from /user/desktop/geek.txt  
// to user/Downloads/geeksforgeeks.txt' 
// directory 
if( !copy($source, $destination) ) {  
    echo "File can't be copied! \n";  
}  
else {  
    echo "File has been copied! \n";  
}  
  
?>

How to change to an older version of Node.js

For some reason Brew installs node 5 into a separate directory called node5.

The steps I took to get back to version 5 were: (You will need to look up standard brew installation/uninstallation, but otherwise this process is more straightforward than it looks.)

  1. Install node5 using Brew standard installation, BUT don't brew link, yet.
  2. Uninstall all other versions of node using brew unlink node and brew uninstall node. You might need to use --force to remove one of the versions.
  3. Find the cellar folder on your computer
  4. Delete the node folder in the cellar.
  5. Rename the node5 folder to node.
  6. Then, brew link node

You should be all set with node 5.

How to list the certificates stored in a PKCS12 keystore with keytool?

If the keystore is PKCS12 type (.pfx) you have to specify it with -storetype PKCS12 (line breaks added for readability):

keytool -list -v -keystore <path to keystore.pfx> \
    -storepass <password> \
    -storetype PKCS12

Split string with string as delimiter

@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL
SET "string=string1 by string2.txt"
SET "string=%string:* by =%"
ECHO +%string%+

GOTO :EOF

The above SET command will remove the unwanted data. Result shown between + to demonstrate absence of spaces.

Formula: set var=%somevar:*string1=string2%

will assign to var the value of somevar with all characters up to string1 replaced by string2. The enclosing quotes in a set command ensure that any stray trailing spaces on the line are not included in the value assigned.

How do I make the scrollbar on a div only visible when necessary?

Use overflow: auto. Scrollbars will only appear when needed.

(Sidenote, you can also specify for only the x, or y scrollbar: overflow-x: auto and overflow-y: auto).

How can I set my Cygwin PATH to find javac?

as you write the it with double-quotes, you don't need to escape spaces with \

export PATH=$PATH:"/cygdrive/C/Program Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_23/bin/"

of course this also works:

export PATH=$PATH:/cygdrive/C/Program\ Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_23/bin/

Entity Framework Join 3 Tables

This is untested, but I believe the syntax should work for a lambda query. As you join more tables with this syntax you have to drill further down into the new objects to reach the values you want to manipulate.

var fullEntries = dbContext.tbl_EntryPoint
    .Join(
        dbContext.tbl_Entry,
        entryPoint => entryPoint.EID,
        entry => entry.EID,
        (entryPoint, entry) => new { entryPoint, entry }
    )
    .Join(
        dbContext.tbl_Title,
        combinedEntry => combinedEntry.entry.TID,
        title => title.TID,
        (combinedEntry, title) => new 
        {
            UID = combinedEntry.entry.OwnerUID,
            TID = combinedEntry.entry.TID,
            EID = combinedEntry.entryPoint.EID,
            Title = title.Title
        }
    )
    .Where(fullEntry => fullEntry.UID == user.UID)
    .Take(10);

recyclerview No adapter attached; skipping layout

Android: How to set password property in an edit text?

I found when doing this that in order to set the gravity to center, and still have your password hint show when using inputType, the android:gravity="Center" must be at the end of your XML line.

<EditText android:textColor="#000000" android:id="@+id/editText2" 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:hint="Password" 
    android:background="@drawable/rounded_corner" 
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
    android:nextFocusDown="@+id/imageButton1" 
    android:nextFocusRight="@+id/imageButton1" 
    android:nextFocusLeft="@+id/editText1"
    android:nextFocusUp="@+id/editText1" 
    android:inputType="textVisiblePassword" 
    android:textColorHint="#999999" 
    android:textSize="16dp" 
    android:gravity="center">

Usage of MySQL's "IF EXISTS"

You cannot use IF control block OUTSIDE of functions. So that affects both of your queries.

Turn the EXISTS clause into a subquery instead within an IF function

SELECT IF( EXISTS(
             SELECT *
             FROM gdata_calendars
             WHERE `group` =  ? AND id = ?), 1, 0)

In fact, booleans are returned as 1 or 0

SELECT EXISTS(
         SELECT *
         FROM gdata_calendars
         WHERE `group` =  ? AND id = ?)

How to use apply a custom drawable to RadioButton?

if you want to change the only icon of radio button then you can only add android:button="@drawable/ic_launcher" to your radio button and for making sensitive on click then you have to use the selector

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Passing parameters in Javascript onClick event

This is happening because they're all referencing the same i variable, which is changing every loop, and left as 10 at the end of the loop. You can resolve it using a closure like this:

link.onclick = function(j) { return function() { onClickLink(j+''); }; }(i);

You can give it a try here

Or, make this be the link you clicked in that handler, like this:

link.onclick = function(j) { return function() { onClickLink.call(this, j); }; }(i);

You can try that version here

Plotting time-series with Date labels on x-axis

Your code has lots of errors.

  • You are mixing up dm$Day and dm$day. Probably not the same thing
  • Your column headings are Date and Visits. So you would access them (I'm guessing) as dm$Date and dm$Visits
  • In the date field you have %Y-%m-%d this should be %m/%d/%Y

The following code should plot what you want:

dm$newday = as.Date(dm$Date, "%m/%d/%Y")
plot(dm$newday, dm$Visits)

Angular: date filter adds timezone, how to output UTC?

The 'Z' is what adds the timezone info. As for output UTC, that seems to be the subject of some confusion -- people seem to gravitate toward moment.js.

Borrowing from this answer, you could do something like this without moment.js:

controller

var app1 = angular.module('app1',[]);

app1.controller('ctrl',['$scope',function($scope){

  var toUTCDate = function(date){
    var _utc = new Date(date.getUTCFullYear(), date.getUTCMonth(), date.getUTCDate(),  date.getUTCHours(), date.getUTCMinutes(), date.getUTCSeconds());
    return _utc;
  };

  var millisToUTCDate = function(millis){
    return toUTCDate(new Date(millis));
  };

    $scope.toUTCDate = toUTCDate;
    $scope.millisToUTCDate = millisToUTCDate;

  }]);

template

<html ng-app="app1">

  <head>
    <script data-require="angular.js@*" data-semver="1.2.12" src="http://code.angularjs.org/1.2.12/angular.js"></script>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
    <script src="script.js"></script>
  </head>

  <body>
    <div ng-controller="ctrl">
      <div>
      utc {{millisToUTCDate(1400167800) | date:'dd-M-yyyy H:mm'}}
      </div>
      <div>
      local {{1400167800 | date:'dd-M-yyyy H:mm'}}
      </div>
    </div>
  </body>

</html>

here's plunker to play with it

See also this and this.

Also note that with this method, if you use the 'Z' from Angular's date filter, it seems it will still print your local timezone offset.

How to check if a value exists in a dictionary (python)

Python dictionary has get(key) function

>>> d.get(key)

For Example,

>>> d = {'1': 'one', '3': 'three', '2': 'two', '5': 'five', '4': 'four'}
>>> d.get('3')
'three'
>>> d.get('10')
None

If your key does'nt exist, will return None value.

foo = d[key] # raise error if key doesn't exist
foo = d.get(key) # return None if key doesn't exist

Content relevant to versions less than 3.0 and greater than 5.0.

How do I read all classes from a Java package in the classpath?

  1. Bill Burke has written a (nice article about class scanning] and then he wrote Scannotation.

  2. Hibernate has this already written:

    • org.hibernate.ejb.packaging.Scanner
    • org.hibernate.ejb.packaging.NativeScanner
  3. CDI might solve this, but don't know - haven't investigated fully yet

.

@Inject Instance< MyClass> x;
...
x.iterator() 

Also for annotations:

abstract class MyAnnotationQualifier
extends AnnotationLiteral<Entity> implements Entity {}

Dart/Flutter : Converting timestamp

meh, just use https://github.com/andresaraujo/timeago.dart library; it does all the heavy-lifting for you.

EDIT:

From your question, it seems you wanted relative time conversions, and the timeago library enables you to do this in 1 line of code. Converting Dates isn't something I'd choose to implement myself, as there are a lot of edge cases & it gets fugly quickly, especially if you need to support different locales in the future. More code you write = more you have to test.

import 'package:timeago/timeago.dart' as timeago;

final fifteenAgo = DateTime.now().subtract(new Duration(minutes: 15));
print(timeago.format(fifteenAgo)); // 15 minutes ago
print(timeago.format(fifteenAgo, locale: 'en_short')); // 15m
print(timeago.format(fifteenAgo, locale: 'es'));

// Add a new locale messages
timeago.setLocaleMessages('fr', timeago.FrMessages());

// Override a locale message
timeago.setLocaleMessages('en', CustomMessages());

print(timeago.format(fifteenAgo)); // 15 min ago
print(timeago.format(fifteenAgo, locale: 'fr')); // environ 15 minutes

to convert epochMS to DateTime, just use...

final DateTime timeStamp = DateTime.fromMillisecondsSinceEpoch(1546553448639);

An explicit value for the identity column in table can only be specified when a column list is used and IDENTITY_INSERT is ON SQL Server

Please make sure that the column names, data types, and order in the table from where you are selecting records is exactly same as the destination table. Only difference should be that destination table has an identity column as the first column, that is not there in source table.

I was facing similar issue when I was executing "INSERT INTO table_Dest SELECT * FROM table_source_linked_server_excel". The tables had 115 columns.

I had two such tables where I was loading data from Excel (As linked server) into tables in database. In database tables, I had added an identity column called 'id' that was not there in source Excel. For one table the query was running successfully and in another I got the error "An explicit value for the identity column in table can only be specified when a column list is used and IDENTITY_INSERT is ON SQL Server". This was puzzling as the scenario was exactly same for both the queries. So I investigated into this and what I found was that in the query where I was getting error with INSERT INTO .. SELECT *:

  1. Some of the column names in source table were modified, though values were correct
  2. There were some extra columns beyond actual data columns that were being selected by SELECT *. I discovered this by using the option of "Script table as > Select to > new query window" on the source Excel table (under linked servers). There was one hidden column just after the last column in Excel, though it did not have any data. I deleted that column in source Excel table and saved it.

After making the above two changes the query for INSERT INTO... SELECT * ran successfully. The identity column in destination table generated identity values for each inserted row as expected.

So, even though the destination table may have an identity column that is not there in source table, the INSERT INTO.. SELECT * will run successfully if the names, data types, and column order in source and destination are exactly the same.

Hope it helps someone.

sqlplus: error while loading shared libraries: libsqlplus.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

On Oracle's own Linux (Version 7.7, PRETTY_NAME="Oracle Linux Server 7.7" in /etc/os-release), if you installed the 18.3 client libraries with

sudo yum install oracle-instantclient18.3-basic.x86_64
sudo yum install oracle-instantclient18.3-sqlplus.x86_64

then you need to put the following in your .bash_profile:

export ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/18.3/client64
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/lib:$ORACLE_HOME

in order to be able to invoke the SQLPlus client, which, incidentally, is called sqlplus64 on this platform.

Does a favicon have to be 32x32 or 16x16?

Actually, to make your favicon work in all browsers properly, you will have to add more than 10 files in the correct sizes and formats.

My friend and I have created an App just for this! you can find it in faviconit.com

We did this, so people don't have to create all these images and the correct tags by hand, create all of them used to annoy me a lot!

How do I make case-insensitive queries on Mongodb?

I have solved it like this.

 var thename = 'Andrew';
 db.collection.find({'name': {'$regex': thename,$options:'i'}});

If you want to query on 'case-insensitive exact matchcing' then you can go like this.

var thename =  '^Andrew$';
db.collection.find({'name': {'$regex': thename,$options:'i'}});

Input type=password, don't let browser remember the password

You can use JQuery, select the item by id:

$("input#Password").attr("autocomplete","off");

Or select the item by type:

$("input[type='password']").attr("autocomplete","off");

Or also:

You can use pure Javascript:

document.getElementById('Password').autocomplete = 'off';

What is the difference between a database and a data warehouse?

Example: A house is worth $100,000, and it is appreciating at $1000 per year.

To keep track of the current house value, you would use a database as the value would change every year.

Three years later, you would be able to see the value of the house which is $103,000.

To keep track of the historical house value, you would use a data warehouse as the value of the house should be

$100,000 on year 0, 
$101,000 on year 1, 
$102,000 on year 2, 
$103,000 on year 3.

Why do we use $rootScope.$broadcast in AngularJS?

$rootScope basically functions as an event listener and dispatcher.

To answer the question of how it is used, it used in conjunction with rootScope.$on;

$rootScope.$broadcast("hi");

$rootScope.$on("hi", function(){
    //do something
});

However, it is a bad practice to use $rootScope as your own app's general event service, since you will quickly end up in a situation where every app depends on $rootScope, and you do not know what components are listening to what events.

The best practice is to create a service for each custom event you want to listen to or broadcast.

.service("hiEventService",function($rootScope) {
    this.broadcast = function() {$rootScope.$broadcast("hi")}
    this.listen = function(callback) {$rootScope.$on("hi",callback)}
})

Reorder bars in geom_bar ggplot2 by value

Your code works fine, except that the barplot is ordered from low to high. When you want to order the bars from high to low, you will have to add a -sign before value:

ggplot(corr.m, aes(x = reorder(miRNA, -value), y = value, fill = variable)) + 
  geom_bar(stat = "identity")

which gives:

enter image description here


Used data:

corr.m <- structure(list(miRNA = structure(c(5L, 2L, 3L, 6L, 1L, 4L), .Label = c("mmu-miR-139-5p", "mmu-miR-1983", "mmu-miR-301a-3p", "mmu-miR-5097", "mmu-miR-532-3p", "mmu-miR-96-5p"), class = "factor"),
                         variable = structure(c(1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L, 1L), .Label = "pos", class = "factor"),
                         value = c(7L, 75L, 70L, 5L, 10L, 47L)),
                    class = "data.frame", row.names = c("1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6"))

How do you create a REST client for Java?

Try JdkRequest from jcabi-http (I'm a developer). This is how it works:

String body = new JdkRequest("http://www.google.com")
  .header("User-Agent", "it's me")
  .fetch()
  .body()

Check this blog post for more details: http://www.yegor256.com/2014/04/11/jcabi-http-intro.html

KeyListener, keyPressed versus keyTyped

keyPressed - when the key goes down
keyReleased - when the key comes up
keyTyped - when the unicode character represented by this key is sent by the keyboard to system input.

I personally would use keyReleased for this. It will fire only when they lift their finger up.

Note that keyTyped will only work for something that can be printed (I don't know if F5 can or not) and I believe will fire over and over again if the key is held down. This would be useful for something like... moving a character across the screen or something.

java: run a function after a specific number of seconds

you could use the Thread.Sleep() function

Thread.sleep(4000);
myfunction();

Your function will execute after 4 seconds. However this might pause the entire program...

Removing duplicate rows from table in Oracle

DELETE FROM tablename a
      WHERE a.ROWID > ANY (SELECT b.ROWID
                             FROM tablename b
                            WHERE a.fieldname = b.fieldname

Is there a way to cast float as a decimal without rounding and preserving its precision?

Have you tried:

SELECT Cast( 2.555 as decimal(53,8))

This would return 2.55500000. Is that what you want?

UPDATE:

Apparently you can also use SQL_VARIANT_PROPERTY to find the precision and scale of a value. Example:

SELECT SQL_VARIANT_PROPERTY(Cast( 2.555 as decimal(8,7)),'Precision'),
SQL_VARIANT_PROPERTY(Cast( 2.555 as decimal(8,7)),'Scale')

returns 8|7

You may be able to use this in your conversion process...

Dynamically Add C# Properties at Runtime

Thanks @Clint for the great answer:

Just wanted to highlight how easy it was to solve this using the Expando Object:

    var dynamicObject = new ExpandoObject() as IDictionary<string, Object>;
    foreach (var property in properties) {
        dynamicObject.Add(property.Key,property.Value);
    }

How do you perform address validation?

You could also try SAP's Data Quality solutions which are available in both a server platform is processing a large number of requests or as an embeddable SDK if you wanted to run it in process with your application. We use it in our application and it's very robust and scalable.

Importing csv file into R - numeric values read as characters

Whatever algebra you are doing in Excel to create the new column could probably be done more effectively in R.

Please try the following: Read the raw file (before any excel manipulation) into R using read.csv(... stringsAsFactors=FALSE). [If that does not work, please take a look at ?read.table (which read.csv wraps), however there may be some other underlying issue].

For example:

   delim = ","  # or is it "\t" ?
   dec = "."    # or is it "," ?
   myDataFrame <- read.csv("path/to/file.csv", header=TRUE, sep=delim, dec=dec, stringsAsFactors=FALSE)

Then, let's say your numeric columns is column 4

   myDataFrame[, 4]  <- as.numeric(myDataFrame[, 4])  # you can also refer to the column by "itsName"


Lastly, if you need any help with accomplishing in R the same tasks that you've done in Excel, there are plenty of folks here who would be happy to help you out

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/http/client/HttpClient

I was facing the same issue. In my case, I had a dependency of httpclient with an older version while sendgrid required a newer version of httpclient. Just make sure that the version of httpclient is correct in your dependencies and it would work fine.

How do I specify unique constraint for multiple columns in MySQL?

First get rid of existing duplicates

delete a from votes as a, votes as b where a.id < b.id 
and a.user <=> b.user and a.email <=> b.email 
and a.address <=> b.address;

Then add the unique constraint

ALTER TABLE votes ADD UNIQUE unique_index(user, email, address);

Verify the constraint with

SHOW CREATE TABLE votes;

Note that user, email, address will be considered unique if any of them has null value in it.

How do I list / export private keys from a keystore?

If you don't need to do it programatically, but just want to manage your keys, then I've used IBM's free KeyMan tool for a long time now. Very nice for exporting a private key to a PFX file (then you can easily use OpenSSL to manipulate it, extract it, change pwds, etc).

https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/mydeveloperworks/groups/service/html/communityview?communityUuid=6fb00498-f6ea-4f65-bf0c-adc5bd0c5fcc

Select your keystore, select the private key entry, then File->Save to a pkcs12 file (*.pfx, typically). You can then view the contents with:

$ openssl pkcs12 -in mykeyfile.pfx -info

Fit cell width to content

I'm not sure if I understand your question, but I'll take a stab at it:

_x000D_
_x000D_
td {
    border: 1px solid #000;
}

tr td:last-child {
    width: 1%;
    white-space: nowrap;
}
_x000D_
<table style="width: 100%;">
    <tr>
        <td class="block">this should stretch</td>
        <td class="block">this should stretch</td>
        <td class="block">this should be the content width</td>
    </tr>
</table>

Out-File -append in Powershell does not produce a new line and breaks string into characters

Out-File defaults to unicode encoding which is why you are seeing the behavior you are. Use -Encoding Ascii to change this behavior. In your case

Out-File -Encoding Ascii -append textfile.txt. 

Add-Content uses Ascii and also appends by default.

"This is a test" | Add-Content textfile.txt.

As for the lack of newline: You did not send a newline so it will not write one to file.

ASP.NET: Session.SessionID changes between requests

Session ID resetting may have many causes. However any mentioned above doesn't relate to my problem. So I'll describe it for future reference.

In my case a new session created on each request resulted in infinite redirect loop. The redirect action takes place in OnActionExecuting event.

Also I've been clearing all http headers (also in OnActionExecuting event using Response.ClearHeaders method) in order to prevent caching sites on client side. But that method clears all headers including informations about user's session, and consequently all data in Temp storage (which I was using later in program). So even setting new session in Session_Start event didn't help.

To resolve my problem I ensured not to remove the headers when a redirection occurs.

Hope it helps someone.

What is the difference between & and && in Java?

It depends on the type of the arguments...

For integer arguments, the single ampersand ("&")is the "bit-wise AND" operator. The double ampersand ("&&") is not defined for anything but two boolean arguments.

For boolean arguments, the single ampersand constitutes the (unconditional) "logical AND" operator while the double ampersand ("&&") is the "conditional logical AND" operator. That is to say that the single ampersand always evaluates both arguments whereas the double ampersand will only evaluate the second argument if the first argument is true.

For all other argument types and combinations, a compile-time error should occur.

Form inline inside a form horizontal in twitter bootstrap?

Since bootstrap 4 use div class="form-row" in combination with div class="form-group col-X". X is the width you need. You will get nice inline columns. See fiddle.

<form class="form-horizontal" name="FORMNAME" method="post" action="ACTION" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <div class="form-group">
        <label class="control-label col-sm-2" for="naam">Naam:&nbsp;*</label>

In Oracle SQL: How do you insert the current date + time into a table?

It only seems to because that is what it is printing out. But actually, you shouldn't write the logic this way. This is equivalent:

insert into errortable (dateupdated, table1id)
    values (sysdate, 1083);

It seems silly to convert the system date to a string just to convert it back to a date.

If you want to see the full date, then you can do:

select TO_CHAR(dateupdated, 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'), table1id
from errortable;

'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command

Use multiple css stylesheets in the same html page

You can't control which you're referencing, given the same level of specificity in the rule (e.g. both are simply .banner) the stylesheet included last will win.

It's per-property, so if there's a combination going on (for example one has background, the other has color) then you'll get the combination...if a property is defined in both, whatever it is the last time it appears in stylesheet order wins.

Button Listener for button in fragment in android

You only have to get the view of activity that carry this fragment and this could only happen when your fragment is already created

override the onViewCreated() method inside your fragment and enjoy its magic :) ..

@Override
public void onViewCreated(View view, @Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onViewCreated(view, savedInstanceState);
    Button button = (Button) view.findViewById(R.id.YOURBUTTONID);
    button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
         //place your action here
         }
    });

Hope this could help you ;

C# removing items from listbox

The problem here is that you're changing your enumerator as you remove items from the list. This isn't valid with a 'foreach' loop. But just about any other type of loop will be OK.

So you could try something like this:

for(int i=0; i < listBox1.Items.Count; )
{
    string removelistitem = "OBJECT";
    if(listBox1.Items[i].Contains(removelistitem))
         listBox1.Items.Remove(item);
    else
        ++i;
}

move a virtual machine from one vCenter to another vCenter

If you'd like to do this using the command line, you can do this if you have ESXi 6.0 (or possibly even ESXi 5.5) running, by using govc, which is a very helpful utility for interacting with both your vCenter and its associated resources.

Depending on your setup, you can

# setup your credentials
export GOVC_USERNAME=YOUR_USERNAME GOVC_PASSWORD=YOUR_PASSWORD
govc export.ovf -u your-vcsa-url.example.com -vm VM_NAME -dc VMS_DATACENTER export-folder

Then, you'll have your VM VM_NAME exported in the folder export-folder. From there, you can then

govc import.ovf -u your-other-vcsa-url.example.com -vm NEW_VM_NAME -dc NEW_DATACENTER export-folder/VM_NAME.ovf

That'll import it into your other vCenter. You might have to specify -ds NEW_DATASTORE too, if you have more than one datastore available, but govc will tell you so if you need to.

The commands above require that govc is installed, which you should, because it's far better than ovftool either way.

How to dump a table to console?

Most pure lua print table functions I've seen have a problem with deep recursion and tend to cause a stack overflow when going too deep. This print table function that I've written does not have this problem. It should also be capable of handling really large tables due to the way it handles concatenation. In my personal usage of this function, it outputted 63k lines to file in about a second.

The output also keeps lua syntax and the script can easily be modified for simple persistent storage by writing the output to file if modified to allow only number, boolean, string and table data types to be formatted.

function print_table(node)
    local cache, stack, output = {},{},{}
    local depth = 1
    local output_str = "{\n"

    while true do
        local size = 0
        for k,v in pairs(node) do
            size = size + 1
        end

        local cur_index = 1
        for k,v in pairs(node) do
            if (cache[node] == nil) or (cur_index >= cache[node]) then

                if (string.find(output_str,"}",output_str:len())) then
                    output_str = output_str .. ",\n"
                elseif not (string.find(output_str,"\n",output_str:len())) then
                    output_str = output_str .. "\n"
                end

                -- This is necessary for working with HUGE tables otherwise we run out of memory using concat on huge strings
                table.insert(output,output_str)
                output_str = ""

                local key
                if (type(k) == "number" or type(k) == "boolean") then
                    key = "["..tostring(k).."]"
                else
                    key = "['"..tostring(k).."']"
                end

                if (type(v) == "number" or type(v) == "boolean") then
                    output_str = output_str .. string.rep('\t',depth) .. key .. " = "..tostring(v)
                elseif (type(v) == "table") then
                    output_str = output_str .. string.rep('\t',depth) .. key .. " = {\n"
                    table.insert(stack,node)
                    table.insert(stack,v)
                    cache[node] = cur_index+1
                    break
                else
                    output_str = output_str .. string.rep('\t',depth) .. key .. " = '"..tostring(v).."'"
                end

                if (cur_index == size) then
                    output_str = output_str .. "\n" .. string.rep('\t',depth-1) .. "}"
                else
                    output_str = output_str .. ","
                end
            else
                -- close the table
                if (cur_index == size) then
                    output_str = output_str .. "\n" .. string.rep('\t',depth-1) .. "}"
                end
            end

            cur_index = cur_index + 1
        end

        if (size == 0) then
            output_str = output_str .. "\n" .. string.rep('\t',depth-1) .. "}"
        end

        if (#stack > 0) then
            node = stack[#stack]
            stack[#stack] = nil
            depth = cache[node] == nil and depth + 1 or depth - 1
        else
            break
        end
    end

    -- This is necessary for working with HUGE tables otherwise we run out of memory using concat on huge strings
    table.insert(output,output_str)
    output_str = table.concat(output)

    print(output_str)
end

Here is an example:

local t = {
    ["abe"] = {1,2,3,4,5},
    "string1",
    50,
    ["depth1"] = { ["depth2"] = { ["depth3"] = { ["depth4"] = { ["depth5"] = { ["depth6"] = { ["depth7"]= { ["depth8"] = { ["depth9"] = { ["depth10"] = {1000}, 900}, 800},700},600},500}, 400 }, 300}, 200}, 100},
    ["ted"] = {true,false,"some text"},
    "string2",
    [function() return end] = function() return end,
    75
}

print_table(t)

How do I find and replace all occurrences (in all files) in Visual Studio Code?

Update for 2020

If you are using the search feature to search across files (Ctrl + Shift + F) it can be easy to miss how to convert your search to a search and replace within the UI.

Here's a typical search result:

search result image

To convert this to a search and replace you need to click the arrow icon to the left of the search input field. This will open the replace options as seen below. Note the arrow icon is now pointed down.

search and replace image

The keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + H will also work as well to access the search and replace.

How to stop/terminate a python script from running?

If your program is running at an interactive console, pressing CTRL + C will raise a KeyboardInterrupt exception on the main thread.

If your Python program doesn't catch it, the KeyboardInterrupt will cause Python to exit. However, an except KeyboardInterrupt: block, or something like a bare except:, will prevent this mechanism from actually stopping the script from running.

Sometimes if KeyboardInterrupt is not working you can send a SIGBREAK signal instead; on Windows, CTRL + Pause/Break may be handled by the interpreter without generating a catchable KeyboardInterrupt exception.

However, these mechanisms mainly only work if the Python interpreter is running and responding to operating system events. If the Python interpreter is not responding for some reason, the most effective way is to terminate the entire operating system process that is running the interpreter. The mechanism for this varies by operating system.

In a Unix-style shell environment, you can press CTRL + Z to suspend whatever process is currently controlling the console. Once you get the shell prompt back, you can use jobs to list suspended jobs, and you can kill the first suspended job with kill %1. (If you want to start it running again, you can continue the job in the foreground by using fg %1; read your shell's manual on job control for more information.)

Alternatively, in a Unix or Unix-like environment, you can find the Python process's PID (process identifier) and kill it by PID. Use something like ps aux | grep python to find which Python processes are running, and then use kill <pid> to send a SIGTERM signal.

The kill command on Unix sends SIGTERM by default, and a Python program can install a signal handler for SIGTERM using the signal module. In theory, any signal handler for SIGTERM should shut down the process gracefully. But sometimes if the process is stuck (for example, blocked in an uninterruptable IO sleep state), a SIGTERM signal has no effect because the process can't even wake up to handle it.

To forcibly kill a process that isn't responding to signals, you need to send the SIGKILL signal, sometimes referred to as kill -9 because 9 is the numeric value of the SIGKILL constant. From the command line, you can use kill -KILL <pid> (or kill -9 <pid> for short) to send a SIGKILL and stop the process running immediately.

On Windows, you don't have the Unix system of process signals, but you can forcibly terminate a running process by using the TerminateProcess function. Interactively, the easiest way to do this is to open Task Manager, find the python.exe process that corresponds to your program, and click the "End Process" button. You can also use the taskkill command for similar purposes.

Get the directory from a file path in java (android)

You could also use FilenameUtils from Apache. It provides you at least the following features for the example C:\dev\project\file.txt:

  • the prefix - C:\
  • the path - dev\project\
  • the full path - C:\dev\project\
  • the name - file.txt
  • the base name - file
  • the extension - txt

How to pass a textbox value from view to a controller in MVC 4?

Android App Not Install. An existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed

It may be application is not uninstall successful. If your device is this case, you can try this method.

First get the package name of the application, e.g 'com.xxx.app', you can use Root Explorer and find it from Manifest file(RE can decode the file). then you can use this script to uninstall it:

adb shell pm uninstall com.xxx.app // replace to package name that you want to remove

How to concat a string to xsl:value-of select="...?

The easiest way to concat a static text string to a selected value is to use element.

<a>
  <xsl:attribute name="href"> 
    <xsl:value-of select="/*/properties/property[@name='report']/@value" />
    <xsl:text>staticIconExample.png</xsl:text>
  </xsl:attribute>
</a>

How to store NULL values in datetime fields in MySQL?

This is a a sensible point.

A null date is not a zero date. They may look the same, but they ain't. In mysql, a null date value is null. A zero date value is an empty string ('') and '0000-00-00 00:00:00'

On a null date "... where mydate = ''" will fail.
On an empty/zero date "... where mydate is null" will fail.

But now let's get funky. In mysql dates, empty/zero date are strictly the same.

by example

select if(myDate is null, 'null', myDate) as mydate from myTable where  myDate = '';
select if(myDate is null, 'null', myDate) as mydate from myTable where  myDate = '0000-00-00 00:00:00'

will BOTH output: '0000-00-00 00:00:00'. if you update myDate with '' or '0000-00-00 00:00:00', both selects will still work the same.

In php, the mysql null dates type will be respected with the standard mysql connector, and be real nulls ($var === null, is_null($var)). Empty dates will always be represented as '0000-00-00 00:00:00'.

I strongly advise to use only null dates, OR only empty dates if you can. (some systems will use "virual" zero dates which are valid Gregorian dates, like 1970-01-01 (linux) or 0001-01-01 (oracle).

empty dates are easier in php/mysql. You don't have the "where field is null" to handle. However, you have to "manually" transform the '0000-00-00 00:00:00' date in '' to display empty fields. (to store or search you don't have special case to handle for zero dates, which is nice).

Null dates need better care. you have to be careful when you insert or update to NOT add quotes around null, else a zero date will be inserted instead of null, which causes your standard data havoc. In search forms, you will need to handle cases like "and mydate is not null", and so on.

Null dates are usually more work. but they much MUCH MUCH faster than zero dates for queries.

Check whether an array is empty

There are two elements in array and this definitely doesn't mean that array is empty. As a quick workaround you can do following:

$errors = array_filter($errors);

if (!empty($errors)) {
}

array_filter() function's default behavior will remove all values from array which are equal to null, 0, '' or false.

Otherwise in your particular case empty() construct will always return true if there is at least one element even with "empty" value.

How to use LocalBroadcastManager?

I'd rather like to answer comprehensively.

  1. LocalbroadcastManager included in android 3.0 and above so you have to use support library v4 for early releases. see instructions here

  2. Create a broadcast receiver:

    private BroadcastReceiver onNotice= new BroadcastReceiver() {
    
        @Override
        public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
            // intent can contain anydata
            Log.d("sohail","onReceive called");
            tv.setText("Broadcast received !");
    
        }
    };
    
  3. Register your receiver in onResume of activity like:

    protected void onResume() {
            super.onResume();
    
            IntentFilter iff= new IntentFilter(MyIntentService.ACTION);
            LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).registerReceiver(onNotice, iff);
        }
    
    //MyIntentService.ACTION is just a public static string defined in MyIntentService.
    
  4. unRegister receiver in onPause:

    protected void onPause() {
      super.onPause();
      LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).unregisterReceiver(onNotice);
    }
    
  5. Now whenever a localbroadcast is sent from applications' activity or service, onReceive of onNotice will be called :).

Edit: You can read complete tutorial here LocalBroadcastManager: Intra application message passing

Python: Remove division decimal

if val % 1 == 0:
    val = int(val)

else:
    val = float(val)

This worked for me.

How it works: if the remainder of the quotient of val and 1 is 0, val has to be an integer and can, therefore, be declared to be int without having to worry about losing decimal numbers.

Compare these two situations:

A:

val = 12.00

if val % 1 == 0:
    val = int(val)
else:
    val = float(val)

print(val)

In this scenario, the output is 12, because 12.00 divided by 1 has the remainder of 0. With this information we know, that val doesn't have any decimals and we can declare val to be int.

B:

val = 13.58

if val % 1 == 0:
    val = int(val)
else:
    val = float(val)

print(val)

This time the output is 13.58, because when val is divided by 1 there is a remainder (0.58) and therefore val is declared to be a float.

By just declaring the number to be an int (without testing the remainder) decimal numbers will be cut off.

This way there are no zeros in the end and no other than the zeros will be ignored.

TSQL CASE with if comparison in SELECT statement

You can try with this:

WITH CTE_A As (SELECT COUNT(*) as articleNumber,A.UserID  as UserID FROM Articles A
           Inner Join Users U
           on  A.userId = U.userId 
           Group By A.userId , U.userId   ),

B as (Select us.registrationDate,

      CASE
         WHEN CTE_A.articleNumber < 2 THEN 'Ama'
         WHEN CTE_A.articleNumber < 5 THEN 'SemiAma' 
         WHEN CTE_A.articleNumber < 7 THEN 'Good'  
         WHEN CTE_A.articleNumber < 9 THEN 'Better' 
         WHEN CTE_A.articleNumber < 12 THEN 'Best'
         ELSE 'Outstanding'
         END as Ranking,
         us.hobbies, etc...
         FROM USERS Us Inner Join CTE_A 
         on CTE_A.UserID=us.UserID)

Select * from B

Android: I am unable to have ViewPager WRAP_CONTENT

Nothing of suggested above worked for me. My use case is having 4 custom ViewPagers in ScrollView. Top of them is measured based on aspect ratio and the rest just has layout_height=wrap_content. I've tried cybergen , Daniel López Lacalle solutions. None of them work fully for me.

My guess why cybergen doesn't work on page > 1 is because it calculates height of pager based on page 1, that is hidden if you scroll further.

Both cybergen and Daniel López Lacalle suggestions have weird behavior in my case: 2 of 3 are loaded ok and 1 randomly height is 0. Appears that onMeasure was called before children were populated. So I came up with a mixture of these 2 answers + my own fixes:

@Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
    super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
    if (getLayoutParams().height == ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT) {
        // find the first child view
        View view = getChildAt(0);
        if (view != null) {
            // measure the first child view with the specified measure spec
            view.measure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
            int h = view.getMeasuredHeight();
            setMeasuredDimension(getMeasuredWidth(), h);
            //do not recalculate height anymore
            getLayoutParams().height = h;
        }
    }
}

Idea is to let ViewPager calculate children's dimensions and save calculated height of first page in layout params of the ViewPager. Don't forget to set fragment's layout height to wrap_content otherwise you can get height=0. I've used this one:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">
        <!-- Childs are populated in fragment -->
</LinearLayout>

Please note that this solution works great if all of your pages have same height. Otherwise you need to recalculate ViewPager height based on current child active. I don't need it, but if you suggest the solution I would be happy to update the answer.

Maven 3 Archetype for Project With Spring, Spring MVC, Hibernate, JPA

Possible duplicate: Is there a maven 2 archetype for spring 3 MVC applications?

That said, I would encourage you to think about making your own archetype. The reason is, no matter what you end up getting from someone else's, you can do better in not that much time, and a decent sized Java project is going to end up making a lot of jar projects.

Calculate compass bearing / heading to location in Android

Ok I figured this out. For anyone else trying to do this you need:

a) heading: your heading from the hardware compass. This is in degrees east of magnetic north

b) bearing: the bearing from your location to the destination location. This is in degrees east of true north.

myLocation.bearingTo(destLocation);

c) declination: the difference between true north and magnetic north

The heading that is returned from the magnetometer + accelermometer is in degrees east of true (magnetic) north (-180 to +180) so you need to get the difference between north and magnetic north for your location. This difference is variable depending where you are on earth. You can obtain by using GeomagneticField class.

GeomagneticField geoField;

private final LocationListener locationListener = new LocationListener() {
   public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
      geoField = new GeomagneticField(
         Double.valueOf(location.getLatitude()).floatValue(),
         Double.valueOf(location.getLongitude()).floatValue(),
         Double.valueOf(location.getAltitude()).floatValue(),
         System.currentTimeMillis()
      );
      ...
   }
}

Armed with these you calculate the angle of the arrow to draw on your map to show where you are facing in relation to your destination object rather than true north.

First adjust your heading with the declination:

heading += geoField.getDeclination();

Second, you need to offset the direction in which the phone is facing (heading) from the target destination rather than true north. This is the part that I got stuck on. The heading value returned from the compass gives you a value that describes where magnetic north is (in degrees east of true north) in relation to where the phone is pointing. So e.g. if the value is -10 you know that magnetic north is 10 degrees to your left. The bearing gives you the angle of your destination in degrees east of true north. So after you've compensated for the declination you can use the formula below to get the desired result:

heading = myBearing - (myBearing + heading); 

You'll then want to convert from degrees east of true north (-180 to +180) into normal degrees (0 to 360):

Math.round(-heading / 360 + 180)

The remote end hung up unexpectedly while git cloning

I found my problem to be with the .netrc file, if so for you too then you can do the following:

Open your .netrc file and edit it to include github credentials. Type nano ~/netrc or gedit ~/netrc

Then include the following: *machine github.com

login username

password SECRET

machine api.github.com

login username

password SECRET*

You can include your raw password there but for security purposes, generate an auth token here github token and paste it in place of your password.

How to connect to a docker container from outside the host (same network) [Windows]

This is the most common issue faced by Windows users for running Docker Containers. IMO this is the "million dollar question on Docker"; @"Rocco Smit" has rightly pointed out "inbound traffic for it was disabled by default on my host machine's firewall"; in my case, my McAfee Anti Virus software. I added additional ports to be allowed for inbound traffic from other computers on the same Wifi LAN in the Firewall Settings of McAfee; then it was magic. I had struggled for more than a week browsing all over internet, SO, Docker documentations, Tutorials after Tutorials related to the Networking of Docker, and the many illustrations of "not supported on Windows" for "macvlan", "ipvlan", "user defined bridge" and even this same SO thread couple of times. I even started browsing google with "anybody using Docker in Production?", (yes I know Linux is more popular for Prod workloads compared to Windows servers) as I was not able to access (from my mobile in the same Home wifi) an nginx app deployed in Docker Container on Windows. After all, what good it is, if you cannot access the application (deployed on a Docker Container) from other computers / devices in the same LAN at-least; Ultimately in my case, the issue was just with a firewall blocking inbound traffic;

ASP.NET custom error page - Server.GetLastError() is null

A combination of what NailItDown and Victor said. The preferred/easiest way is to use your Global.Asax to store the error and then redirect to your custom error page.

Global.asax:

    void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e) 
{
    // Code that runs when an unhandled error occurs
    Exception ex = Server.GetLastError();
    Application["TheException"] = ex; //store the error for later
    Server.ClearError(); //clear the error so we can continue onwards
    Response.Redirect("~/myErrorPage.aspx"); //direct user to error page
}

In addition, you need to set up your web.config:

  <system.web>
    <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="~/myErrorPage.aspx">
    </customErrors>
  </system.web>

And finally, do whatever you need to with the exception you've stored in your error page:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

    // ... do stuff ...
    //we caught an exception in our Global.asax, do stuff with it.
    Exception caughtException = (Exception)Application["TheException"];
    //... do stuff ...
}

How to determine if object is in array

You could use jQuery's grep method:

$.grep(carBrands, function(obj) { return obj.name == "ford"; });

But as you specify no jQuery, you could just make a derivative of the function. From the source code:

function grepArray( elems, callback, inv ) {  
    var ret = [];  

    // Go through the array, only saving the items  
    // that pass the validator function  
    for ( var i = 0, length = elems.length; i < length; i++ ) {  
        if ( !inv !== !callback( elems[ i ], i ) ) {  
            ret.push( elems[ i ] );  
        }  
    }  

    return ret;  
}  

grepArray(carBrands, function(obj) { return obj.name == "ford"; });

INSTALL_FAILED_USER_RESTRICTED : android studio using redmi 4 device

For me none of the above solutions worked. Instead i do following steps that solved the issue :

  1. Developer Options > Mi Unlock Status > Add account and device. (A success message will appear)
  2. Turn on USB Debugging.
  3. Turn on Install via USB.

Note : This is checked on Redmi MIUI Global 8.5 version.

This solution will specifically solve the issue if you have recently logged out of Mi account & again logged in.

Hope it may help someone.

    for (int i = 0; i < res.length; i++)  {  
        res[i] = list.get(i);

    return res;  
}

How this works is explained in depth in my answer to the question that Kirk Woll linked as a duplicate.

Converting <br /> into a new line for use in a text area

The answer by @Mobilpadde is nice. But this is my solution with regex using preg_replace which might be faster according to my tests.

echo preg_replace('/<br\s?\/?>/i', "\r\n", "testing<br/><br /><BR><br>");

function function_one() {
    preg_replace('/<br\s?\/?>/i', "\r\n", "testing<br/><br /><BR><br>");
}

function function_two() {
    str_ireplace(['<br />','<br>','<br/>'], "\r\n", "testing<br/><br /><BR><br>");
}

function benchmark() {
    $count = 10000000;
    $before = microtime(true);

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

    $after = microtime(true);
    echo ($after-$before)/$i . " sec/function one\n";



    $before = microtime(true);

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

    $after = microtime(true);
    echo ($after-$before)/$i . " sec/function two\n";
}
benchmark();

Results:

1.1471637010574E-6 sec/function one (preg_replace)
1.6027762889862E-6 sec/function two (str_ireplace)

How to prevent form from being submitted?

The following works as of now (tested in chrome and firefox):

where validateMyForm() is a function that returns false if validation fails. The key point is to use the name event. We cannot use for e.g. e.preventDefault()

Append a single character to a string or char array in java?

new StringBuilder().append(str.charAt(0))
                   .append(str.charAt(10))
                   .append(str.charAt(20))
                   .append(str.charAt(30))
                   .toString();

This way you can get the new string with whatever characters you want.

Is there a Subversion command to reset the working copy?

Delete everything inside your local copy using:

rm -r your_local_svn_dir_path/*

And the revert everything recursively using the below command.

svn revert -R your_local_svn_dir_path

This is way faster than deleting the entire directory and then taking a fresh checkout, because the files are being restored from you local SVN meta data. It doesn't even need a network connection.

Javascript Date - set just the date, ignoring time?

If you don't mind creating an extra date object, you could try:

var tempDate = new Date(parseInt(item.timestamp, 10));
var visitDate = new Date (tempDate.getUTCFullYear(), tempDate.getUTCMonth(), tempDate.getUTCDate());

I do something very similar to get a date of the current month without the time.

How to get current time and date in Android

I'm getting an error "invalid use of incomplete type 'class map'

I am just providing another case where you can get this error message. The solution will be the same as Adam has mentioned above. This is from a real code and I renamed the class name.

class FooReader {
  public:
     /** Constructor */
     FooReader() : d(new FooReaderPrivate(this)) { }  // will not compile here
     .......
  private:
     FooReaderPrivate* d;
};

====== In a separate file =====
class FooReaderPrivate {
  public:
     FooReaderPrivate(FooReader*) : parent(p) { }
  private:
     FooReader* parent;
};

The above will no pass the compiler and get error: invalid use of incomplete type FooReaderPrivate. You basically have to put the inline portion into the *.cpp implementation file. This is OK. What I am trying to say here is that you may have a design issue. Cross reference of two classes may be necessary some cases, but I would say it is better to avoid them at the start of the design. I would be wrong, but please comment then I will update my posting.

Difference between JSON.stringify and JSON.parse

JSON.stringify(obj [, replacer [, space]]) - Takes any serializable object and returns the JSON representation as a string.

JSON.parse(string) - Takes a well formed JSON string and returns the corresponding JavaScript object.

How to reverse apply a stash?

git stash show -p | git apply --reverse

Warning, that would not in every case: "git apply -R"(man) did not handle patches that touch the same path twice correctly, which has been corrected with Git 2.30 (Q1 2021).

This is most relevant in a patch that changes a path from a regular file to a symbolic link (and vice versa).

See commit b0f266d (20 Oct 2020) by Jonathan Tan (jhowtan).
(Merged by Junio C Hamano -- gitster -- in commit c23cd78, 02 Nov 2020)

apply: when -R, also reverse list of sections

Helped-by: Junio C Hamano
Signed-off-by: Jonathan Tan

A patch changing a symlink into a file is written with 2 sections (in the code, represented as "struct patch"): firstly, the deletion of the symlink, and secondly, the creation of the file.

When applying that patch with -R, the sections are reversed, so we get: (1) creation of a symlink, then (2) deletion of a file.

This causes an issue when the "deletion of a file" section is checked, because Git observes that the so-called file is not a file but a symlink, resulting in a "wrong type" error message.

What we want is: (1) deletion of a file, then (2) creation of a symlink.

In the code, this is reflected in the behavior of previous_patch() when invoked from check_preimage() when the deletion is checked.
Creation then deletion means that when the deletion is checked, previous_patch() returns the creation section, triggering a mode conflict resulting in the "wrong type" error message.

But deletion then creation means that when the deletion is checked, previous_patch() returns NULL, so the deletion mode is checked against lstat, which is what we want.

There are also other ways a patch can contain 2 sections referencing the same file, for example, in 7a07841c0b ("git-apply: handle a patch that touches the same path more than once better", 2008-06-27, Git v1.6.0-rc0 -- merge). "git apply -R"(man) fails in the same way, and this commit makes this case succeed.

Therefore, when building the list of sections, build them in reverse order (by adding to the front of the list instead of the back) when -R is passed.

automatically execute an Excel macro on a cell change

Your code looks pretty good.

Be careful, however, for your call to Range("H5") is a shortcut command to Application.Range("H5"), which is equivalent to Application.ActiveSheet.Range("H5"). This could be fine, if the only changes are user-changes -- which is the most typical -- but it is possible for the worksheet's cell values to change when it is not the active sheet via programmatic changes, e.g. VBA.

With this in mind, I would utilize Target.Worksheet.Range("H5"):

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    If Not Intersect(Target, Target.Worksheet.Range("H5")) Is Nothing Then Macro
End Sub

Or you can use Me.Range("H5"), if the event handler is on the code page for the worksheet in question (it usually is):

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range("H5")) Is Nothing Then Macro
End Sub

Hope this helps...

Understanding __get__ and __set__ and Python descriptors

The descriptor is how Python's property type is implemented. A descriptor simply implements __get__, __set__, etc. and is then added to another class in its definition (as you did above with the Temperature class). For example:

temp=Temperature()
temp.celsius #calls celsius.__get__

Accessing the property you assigned the descriptor to (celsius in the above example) calls the appropriate descriptor method.

instance in __get__ is the instance of the class (so above, __get__ would receive temp, while owner is the class with the descriptor (so it would be Temperature).

You need to use a descriptor class to encapsulate the logic that powers it. That way, if the descriptor is used to cache some expensive operation (for example), it could store the value on itself and not its class.

An article about descriptors can be found here.

EDIT: As jchl pointed out in the comments, if you simply try Temperature.celsius, instance will be None.

SoapUI "failed to load url" error when loading WSDL

In my case the server were the service was installed was configured only for TLS. SSL was not allowed. So you have to update SoapUI vmoptions file by adding

-Dsoapui.https.protocols=TLSv1.2

You can find vmoptions file under SoapUI installation folder:

C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\SoapUI-5.0.0\bin\soapUI-5.0.0.vmoptions

OR change your server setting to allow SSL

ASP.NET MVC - Getting QueryString values

I recommend using the ValueProvider property of the controller, much in the way that UpdateModel/TryUpdateModel do to extract the route, query, and form parameters required. This will keep your method signatures from potentially growing very large and being subject to frequent change. It also makes it a little easier to test since you can supply a ValueProvider to the controller during unit tests.

How to add an auto-incrementing primary key to an existing table, in PostgreSQL?

(Updated - Thanks to the people who commented)

Modern Versions of PostgreSQL

Suppose you have a table named test1, to which you want to add an auto-incrementing, primary-key id (surrogate) column. The following command should be sufficient in recent versions of PostgreSQL:

   ALTER TABLE test1 ADD COLUMN id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY;

Older Versions of PostgreSQL

In old versions of PostgreSQL (prior to 8.x?) you had to do all the dirty work. The following sequence of commands should do the trick:

  ALTER TABLE test1 ADD COLUMN id INTEGER;
  CREATE SEQUENCE test_id_seq OWNED BY test1.id;
  ALTER TABLE test ALTER COLUMN id SET DEFAULT nextval('test_id_seq');
  UPDATE test1 SET id = nextval('test_id_seq');

Again, in recent versions of Postgres this is roughly equivalent to the single command above.

How to install SQL Server Management Studio 2008 component only

SQL Server Management Studio 2008 R2 Express commandline:

The answer by dyslexicanaboko hits the crucial point, but this one is even simpler and suited for command line (unattended scenarios):

(tried out with SQL Server 2008 R2 Express, one instance installed and having downloaded SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU.exe)

As pointed out in this thread often enough, it is better to use the original SQL server setup (e.g. SQL Express with Tools), if possible, but there are some scenarios, where you want to add SSMS at a SQL derivative without that tools, afterwards:

I´ve already put it in a batch syntax here:

@echo off
"%~dp0SQLManagementStudio_x64_ENU.exe" /Q /ACTION="Install" /FEATURES="SSMS" /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS

Remarks:

  1. For 2008 without R2 it should be enough to omit the /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS flag, i guess.

  2. The /INDICATEPROGRESS parameter is useless here, the whole command takes a number of minutes and is 100% silent without any acknowledgement. Just look at the start menu, if the command is ready, if it has succeeded.

  3. This should work for the "ADV_SSMS" Feature (instead of "SSMS") too, which is the management studio extended variant (profiling, reporting, tuning, etc.)

The static keyword and its various uses in C++

In order to clarify the question, I would rather categorize the usage of 'static' keyword in three different forms:

(A). variables

(B). functions

(C). member variables/functions of classes

the explanation follows below for each of the sub headings:

(A) 'static' keyword for variables

This one can be little tricky however if explained and understood properly, it's pretty straightforward.

To explain this, first it is really useful to know about the scope, duration and linkage of variables, without which things are always difficult to see through the murky concept of staic keyword

1. Scope : Determines where in the file, the variable is accessible. It can be of two types: (i) Local or Block Scope. (ii) Global Scope

2. Duration : Determines when a variable is created and destroyed. Again it's of two types: (i) Automatic Storage Duration (for variables having Local or Block scope). (ii) Static Storage Duration (for variables having Global Scope or local variables (in a function or a in a code block) with static specifier).

3. Linkage: Determines whether a variable can be accessed (or linked ) in another file. Again ( and luckily) it is of two types: (i) Internal Linkage (for variables having Block Scope and Global Scope/File Scope/Global Namespace scope) (ii) External Linkage (for variables having only for Global Scope/File Scope/Global Namespace Scope)

Let's refer an example below for better understanding of plain global and local variables (no local variables with static storage duration) :

//main file
#include <iostream>

int global_var1; //has global scope
const global_var2(1.618); //has global scope

int main()
{
//these variables are local to the block main.
//they have automatic duration, i.e, they are created when the main() is 
//  executed and destroyed, when main goes out of scope
 int local_var1(23);
 const double local_var2(3.14);

 {
/* this is yet another block, all variables declared within this block are 
 have local scope limited within this block. */
// all variables declared within this block too have automatic duration, i.e, 
/*they are created at the point of definition within this block,
 and destroyed as soon as this block ends */
   char block_char1;
   int local_var1(32) //NOTE: this has been re-declared within the block, 
//it shadows the local_var1 declared outside

 std::cout << local_var1 <<"\n"; //prints 32

  }//end of block
  //local_var1 declared inside goes out of scope

 std::cout << local_var1 << "\n"; //prints 23

 global_var1 = 29; //global_var1 has been declared outside main (global scope)
 std::cout << global_var1 << "\n"; //prints 29
 std::cout << global_var2 << "\n"; //prints 1.618

 return 0;
}  //local_var1, local_var2 go out of scope as main ends
//global_var1, global_var2 go out of scope as the program terminates 
//(in this case program ends with end of main, so both local and global
//variable go out of scope together

Now comes the concept of Linkage. When a global variable defined in one file is intended to be used in another file, the linkage of the variable plays an important role.

The Linkage of global variables is specified by the keywords: (i) static , and, (ii) extern

( Now you get the explanation )

static keyword can be applied to variables with local and global scope, and in both the cases, they mean different things. I will first explain the usage of 'static' keyword in variables with global scope ( where I also clarify the usage of keyword 'extern') and later the for those with local scope.

1. Static Keyword for variables with global scope

Global variables have static duration, meaning they don't go out of scope when a particular block of code (for e.g main() ) in which it is used ends . Depending upon the linkage, they can be either accessed only within the same file where they are declared (for static global variable), or outside the file even outside the file in which they are declared (extern type global variables)

In the case of a global variable having extern specifier, and if this variable is being accessed outside the file in which it has been initialized, it has to be forward declared in the file where it's being used, just like a function has to be forward declared if it's definition is in a file different from where it's being used.

In contrast, if the global variable has static keyword, it cannot be used in a file outside of which it has been declared.

(see example below for clarification)

eg:

//main2.cpp
 static int global_var3 = 23;  /*static global variable, cannot be                            
                                accessed in anyother file */
 extern double global_var4 = 71; /*can be accessed outside this file                  linked to main2.cpp */
 int main() { return 0; }

main3.cpp

//main3.cpp
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
   extern int gloabl_var4; /*this variable refers to the gloabal_var4
                            defined in the main2.cpp file */
  std::cout << global_var4 << "\n"; //prints 71;

  return 0;
}

now any variable in c++ can be either a const or a non-const and for each 'const-ness' we get two case of default c++ linkage, in case none is specified:

(i) If a global variable is non-const, its linkage is extern by default, i.e, the non-const global variable can be accessed in another .cpp file by forward declaration using the extern keyword (in other words, non const global variables have external linkage ( with static duration of course)). Also usage of extern keyword in the original file where it has been defined is redundant. In this case to make a non-const global variable inaccessible to external file, use the specifier 'static' before the type of the variable.

(ii) If a global variable is const, its linkage is static by default, i.e a const global variable cannot be accessed in a file other than where it is defined, (in other words, const global variables have internal linkage (with static duration of course)). Also usage of static keyword to prevent a const global variable from being accessed in another file is redundant. Here, to make a const global variable have an external linkage, use the specifier 'extern' before the type of the variable

Here's a summary for global scope variables with various linkages

//globalVariables1.cpp 

// defining uninitialized vairbles
int globalVar1; //  uninitialized global variable with external linkage 
static int globalVar2; // uninitialized global variable with internal linkage
const int globalVar3; // error, since const variables must be initialized upon declaration
const int globalVar4 = 23; //correct, but with static linkage (cannot be accessed outside the file where it has been declared*/
extern const double globalVar5 = 1.57; //this const variable ca be accessed outside the file where it has been declared

Next we investigate how the above global variables behave when accessed in a different file.

//using_globalVariables1.cpp (eg for the usage of global variables above)

// Forward declaration via extern keyword:
 extern int globalVar1; // correct since globalVar1 is not a const or static
 extern int globalVar2; //incorrect since globalVar2 has internal linkage
 extern const int globalVar4; /* incorrect since globalVar4 has no extern 
                         specifier, limited to internal linkage by
                         default (static specifier for const variables) */
 extern const double globalVar5; /*correct since in the previous file, it 
                           has extern specifier, no need to initialize the
                       const variable here, since it has already been
                       legitimately defined perviously */

2. Static Keyword for variables with Local Scope

Updates (August 2019) on static keyword for variables in local scope

This further can be subdivided in two categories :

(i) static keyword for variables within a function block, and (ii) static keyword for variables within a unnamed local block.

(i) static keyword for variables within a function block.

Earlier, I mentioned that variables with local scope have automatic duration, i.e they come to exist when the block is entered ( be it a normal block, be it a function block) and cease to exist when the block ends, long story short, variables with local scope have automatic duration and automatic duration variables (and objects) have no linkage meaning they are not visible outside the code block.

If static specifier is applied to a local variable within a function block, it changes the duration of the variable from automatic to static and its life time is the entire duration of the program which means it has a fixed memory location and its value is initialized only once prior to program start up as mentioned in cpp reference(initialization should not be confused with assignment)

lets take a look at an example.

//localVarDemo1.cpp    
 int localNextID()
{
  int tempID = 1;  //tempID created here
  return tempID++; //copy of tempID returned and tempID incremented to 2
} //tempID destroyed here, hence value of tempID lost

int newNextID()
{
  static int newID = 0;//newID has static duration, with internal linkage
  return newID++; //copy of newID returned and newID incremented by 1
}  //newID doesn't get destroyed here :-)


int main()
{
  int employeeID1 = localNextID();  //employeeID1 = 1
  int employeeID2 = localNextID();  // employeeID2 = 1 again (not desired)
  int employeeID3 = newNextID(); //employeeID3 = 0;
  int employeeID4 = newNextID(); //employeeID4 = 1;
  int employeeID5 = newNextID(); //employeeID5 = 2;
  return 0;
}

Looking at the above criterion for static local variables and static global variables, one might be tempted to ask, what the difference between them could be. While global variables are accessible at any point in within the code (in same as well as different translation unit depending upon the const-ness and extern-ness), a static variable defined within a function block is not directly accessible. The variable has to be returned by the function value or reference. Lets demonstrate this by an example:

//localVarDemo2.cpp 

//static storage duration with global scope 
//note this variable can be accessed from outside the file
//in a different compilation unit by using `extern` specifier
//which might not be desirable for certain use case.
static int globalId = 0;

int newNextID()
{
  static int newID = 0;//newID has static duration, with internal linkage
  return newID++; //copy of newID returned and newID incremented by 1
}  //newID doesn't get destroyed here


int main()
{
    //since globalId is accessible we use it directly
  const int globalEmployee1Id = globalId++; //globalEmployeeId1 = 0;
  const int globalEmployee2Id = globalId++; //globalEmployeeId1 = 1;

  //const int employeeID1 = newID++; //this will lead to compilation error since newID++ is not accessible direcly. 
  int employeeID2 = newNextID(); //employeeID3 = 0;
  int employeeID2 = newNextID(); //employeeID3 = 1;

  return 0;
}

More explaination about choice of static global and static local variable could be found on this stackoverflow thread

(ii) static keyword for variables within a unnamed local block.

static variables within a local block (not a function block) cannot be accessed outside the block once the local block goes out of scope. No caveats to this rule.

    //localVarDemo3.cpp 
    int main()
    {

      {
          const static int static_local_scoped_variable {99};
      }//static_local_scoped_variable goes out of scope

      //the line below causes compilation error
      //do_something is an arbitrary function
      do_something(static_local_scoped_variable);
      return 0;
    }

C++11 introduced the keyword constexpr which guarantees the evaluation of an expression at compile time and allows compiler to optimize the code. Now if the value of a static const variable within a scope is known at compile time, the code is optimized in a manner similar to the one with constexpr. Here's a small example

I recommend readers also to look up the difference between constexprand static const for variables in this stackoverflow thread. this concludes my explanation for the static keyword applied to variables.

B. 'static' keyword used for functions

in terms of functions, the static keyword has a straightforward meaning. Here, it refers to linkage of the function Normally all functions declared within a cpp file have external linkage by default, i.e a function defined in one file can be used in another cpp file by forward declaration.

using a static keyword before the function declaration limits its linkage to internal , i.e a static function cannot be used within a file outside of its definition.

C. Staitc Keyword used for member variables and functions of classes

1. 'static' keyword for member variables of classes

I start directly with an example here

#include <iostream>

class DesignNumber
{
  private:

      static int m_designNum;  //design number
      int m_iteration;     // number of iterations performed for the design

  public:
    DesignNumber() {     }  //default constructor

   int  getItrNum() //get the iteration number of design
   {
      m_iteration = m_designNum++;
      return m_iteration;
   }
     static int m_anyNumber;  //public static variable
};
int DesignNumber::m_designNum = 0; // starting with design id = 0
                     // note : no need of static keyword here
                     //causes compiler error if static keyword used
int DesignNumber::m_anyNumber = 99; /* initialization of inclass public 
                                    static member  */
enter code here

int main()
{
   DesignNumber firstDesign, secondDesign, thirdDesign;
   std::cout << firstDesign.getItrNum() << "\n";  //prints 0
   std::cout << secondDesign.getItrNum() << "\n"; //prints 1
   std::cout << thirdDesign.getItrNum() << "\n";  //prints 2

   std::cout << DesignNumber::m_anyNumber++ << "\n";  /* no object
                                        associated with m_anyNumber */
   std::cout << DesignNumber::m_anyNumber++ << "\n"; //prints 100
   std::cout << DesignNumber::m_anyNumber++ << "\n"; //prints 101

   return 0;
}

In this example, the static variable m_designNum retains its value and this single private member variable (because it's static) is shared b/w all the variables of the object type DesignNumber

Also like other member variables, static member variables of a class are not associated with any class object, which is demonstrated by the printing of anyNumber in the main function

const vs non-const static member variables in class

(i) non-const class static member variables In the previous example the static members (both public and private) were non constants. ISO standard forbids non-const static members to be initialized in the class. Hence as in previous example, they must be initalized after the class definition, with the caveat that the static keyword needs to be omitted

(ii) const-static member variables of class this is straightforward and goes with the convention of other const member variable initialization, i.e the const static member variables of a class can be initialized at the point of declaration and they can be initialized at the end of the class declaration with one caveat that the keyword const needs to be added to the static member when being initialized after the class definition.

I would however, recommend to initialize the const static member variables at the point of declaration. This goes with the standard C++ convention and makes the code look cleaner

for more examples on static member variables in a class look up the following link from learncpp.com http://www.learncpp.com/cpp-tutorial/811-static-member-variables/

2. 'static' keyword for member function of classes

Just like member variables of classes can ,be static, so can member functions of classes. Normal member functions of classes are always associated with a object of the class type. In contrast, static member functions of a class are not associated with any object of the class, i.e they have no *this pointer.

Secondly since the static member functions of the class have no *this pointer, they can be called using the class name and scope resolution operator in the main function (ClassName::functionName(); )

Thirdly static member functions of a class can only access static member variables of a class, since non-static member variables of a class must belong to a class object.

for more examples on static member functions in a class look up the following link from learncpp.com

print(df)

Which yields:

     a    b    c
0  1.0  4.0  NaN
1  2.0  5.0  NaN
2  3.0  0.0  7.0
3  0.0  6.0  8.0

Windows batch: call more than one command in a FOR loop?

SilverSkin and Anders are both correct. You can use parentheses to execute multiple commands. However, you have to make sure that the commands themselves (and their parameters) do not contain parentheses. cmd greedily searches for the first closing parenthesis, instead of handling nested sets of parentheses gracefully. This may cause the rest of the command line to fail to parse, or it may cause some of the parentheses to get passed to the commands (e.g. DEL myfile.txt)).

A workaround for this is to split the body of the loop into a separate function. Note that you probably need to jump around the function body to avoid "falling through" into it.

FOR /r %%X IN (*.txt) DO CALL :loopbody %%X
REM Don't "fall through" to :loopbody.
GOTO :EOF

:loopbody
ECHO %1
DEL %1
GOTO :EOF

Multi-line strings in PHP

Not sure how it stacks up performance-wise, but for places where it doesn't really matter, I like this format because I can be sure it is using \r\n (CRLF) and not whatever format my PHP file happens to be saved in.

$text="line1\r\n" .
      "line2\r\n" .
      "line3\r\n";

It also lets me indent however I want.

Git merge reports "Already up-to-date" though there is a difference

If merging branch A into branch B reports "Already up to date", reverse is not always true. It is true only if branch B is descendant of branch A, otherwise branch B simply can have changes that aren't in A.

Example:

  1. You create branches A and B off master
  2. You make some changes in master and merge these changes only into branch B (not updating or forgetting to update branch A).
  3. You make some changes in branch A and merge A to B.

At this point merging A to B reports "Already up to date" but the branches are different because branch B has updates from master while branch A does not.

Null vs. False vs. 0 in PHP

Well, I can't remember enough from my PHP days to answer the "===" part, but for most C-style languages, NULL should be used in the context of pointer values, false as a boolean, and zero as a numeric value such as an int. '\0' is the customary value for a character context. I usually also prefer to use 0.0 for floats and doubles.

So.. the quick answer is: context.

How do I link to a library with Code::Blocks?

The gdi32 library is already installed on your computer, few programs will run without it. Your compiler will (if installed properly) normally come with an import library, which is what the linker uses to make a binding between your program and the file in the system. (In the unlikely case that your compiler does not come with import libraries for the system libs, you will need to download the Microsoft Windows Platform SDK.)

To link with gdi32:

enter image description here

This will reliably work with MinGW-gcc for all system libraries (it should work if you use any other compiler too, but I can't talk about things I've not tried). You can also write the library's full name, but writing libgdi32.a has no advantage over gdi32 other than being more type work.
If it does not work for some reason, you may have to provide a different name (for example the library is named gdi32.lib for MSVC).

For libraries in some odd locations or project subfolders, you will need to provide a proper pathname (click on the "..." button for a file select dialog).

Loop through Map in Groovy?

Quite simple with a closure:

def map = [
           'iPhone':'iWebOS',
           'Android':'2.3.3',
           'Nokia':'Symbian',
           'Windows':'WM8'
           ]

map.each{ k, v -> println "${k}:${v}" }

Structs in Javascript

It's more work to set up, but if maintainability beats one-time effort then this may be your case.

/**
 * @class
 */
class Reference {

    /**
     * @constructs Reference
     * @param {Object} p The properties.
     * @param {String} p.class The class name.
     * @param {String} p.field The field name.
     */
    constructor(p={}) {
        this.class = p.class;
        this.field = p.field;
    }
}

Advantages:

  • not bound to argument order
  • easily extendable
  • type script support:

How to resize an Image C#

This will perform a high quality resize:

/// <summary>
/// Resize the image to the specified width and height.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="image">The image to resize.</param>
/// <param name="width">The width to resize to.</param>
/// <param name="height">The height to resize to.</param>
/// <returns>The resized image.</returns>
public static Bitmap ResizeImage(Image image, int width, int height)
{
    var destRect = new Rectangle(0, 0, width, height);
    var destImage = new Bitmap(width, height);

    destImage.SetResolution(image.HorizontalResolution, image.VerticalResolution);

    using (var graphics = Graphics.FromImage(destImage))
    {
        graphics.CompositingMode = CompositingMode.SourceCopy;
        graphics.CompositingQuality = CompositingQuality.HighQuality;
        graphics.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;
        graphics.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.HighQuality;
        graphics.PixelOffsetMode = PixelOffsetMode.HighQuality;

        using (var wrapMode = new ImageAttributes())
        {
            wrapMode.SetWrapMode(WrapMode.TileFlipXY);
            graphics.DrawImage(image, destRect, 0, 0, image.Width,image.Height, GraphicsUnit.Pixel, wrapMode);
        }
    }

    return destImage;
}
  • wrapMode.SetWrapMode(WrapMode.TileFlipXY) prevents ghosting around the image borders -- naïve resizing will sample transparent pixels beyond the image boundaries, but by mirroring the image we can get a better sample (this setting is very noticeable)
  • destImage.SetResolution maintains DPI regardless of physical size -- may increase quality when reducing image dimensions or when printing
  • Compositing controls how pixels are blended with the background -- might not be needed since we're only drawing one thing.
  • graphics.InterpolationMode determines how intermediate values between two endpoints are calculated
  • graphics.SmoothingMode specifies whether lines, curves, and the edges of filled areas use smoothing (also called antialiasing) -- probably only works on vectors
  • graphics.PixelOffsetMode affects rendering quality when drawing the new image

Maintaining aspect ratio is left as an exercise for the reader (actually, I just don't think it's this function's job to do that for you).

Also, this is a good article describing some of the pitfalls with image resizing. The above function will cover most of them, but you still have to worry about saving.

How to format strings in Java

public class StringFormat {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
            Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in);
            System.out.println("================================");
            for(int i=0;i<3;i++){
                String s1=sc.next();
                int x=sc.nextInt();
                System.out.println(String.format("%-15s%03d",s1,x));
            }
            System.out.println("================================");

    }
}

outpot "================================"
ved15space123 ved15space123 ved15space123 "================================

Java solution

  • The "-" is used to left indent

  • The "15" makes the String's minimum length it takes up be 15

  • The "s" (which is a few characters after %) will be substituted by our String
  • The 0 pads our integer with 0s on the left
  • The 3 makes our integer be a minimum length of 3

What are callee and caller saved registers?

The caller-saved / callee-saved terminology is based on a pretty braindead inefficient model of programming where callers actually do save/restore all the call-clobbered registers (instead of keeping long-term-useful values elsewhere), and callees actually do save/restore all the call-preserved registers (instead of just not using some or any of them).

Or you have to understand that "caller-saved" means "saved somehow if you want the value later".

In reality, efficient code lets values get destroyed when they're no longer needed. Compilers typically make functions that save a few call-preserved registers at the start of a function (and restore them at the end). Inside the function, they use those regs for values that need to survive across function calls.

I prefer "call-preserved" vs. "call-clobbered", which are unambiguous and self-describing once you've heard of the basic concept, and don't require any serious mental gymnastics to think about from the caller's perspective or the callee's perspective. (Both terms are from the same perspective).

Plus, these terms differ by more than one letter.

The terms volatile / non-volatile are pretty good, by analogy with storage which loses its value on power-loss or not, (like DRAM vs. Flash). But the C volatile keyword has a totally different technical meaning, so that's a downside to "(non)-volatile" when describing C calling conventions.


  • Call-clobbered, aka caller-saved or volatile registers are good for scratch / temporary values that aren't needed after the next function call.

From the callee's perspective, your function can freely overwrite (aka clobber) these registers without saving/restoring.

From a caller's perspective, call foo destroys (aka clobbers) all the call-clobbered registers, or at least you have to assume it does.

You can write private helper functions that have a custom calling convention, e.g. you know they don't modify a certain register. But if all you know (or want to assume or depend on) is that the target function follows the normal calling convention, then you have to treat a function call as if it does destroy all the call-clobbered registers. That's literally what the name come from: a call clobbers those registers.

Some compilers that do inter-procedural optimization can also create internal-use-only definitions of functions that don't follow the ABI, using a custom calling convention.

  • Call-preserved, aka callee-saved or non-volatile registers keep their values across function calls. This is useful for loop variables in a loop that makes function calls, or basically anything in a non-leaf function in general.

From a callee's perspective, these registers can't be modified unless you save the original value somewhere so you can restore it before returning. Or for registers like the stack pointer (which is almost always call-preserved), you can subtract a known offset and add it back again before returning, instead of actually saving the old value anywhere. i.e. you can restore it by dead reckoning, unless you allocate a runtime-variable amount of stack space. Then typically you restore the stack pointer from another register.

A function that can benefit from using a lot of registers can save/restore some call-preserved registers just so it can use them as more temporaries, even if it doesn't make any function calls. Normally you'd only do this after running out of call-clobbered registers to use, because save/restore typically costs a push/pop at the start/end of the function. (Or if your function has multiple exit paths, a pop in each of them.)


The name "caller-saved" is misleading: you don't have to specially save/restore them. Normally you arrange your code to have values that need to survive a function call in call-preserved registers, or somewhere on the stack, or somewhere else that you can reload from. It's normal to let a call destroy temporary values.


An ABI or calling convention defines which are which

See for example What registers are preserved through a linux x86-64 function call for the x86-64 System V ABI.

Also, arg-passing registers are always call-clobbered in all function-calling conventions I'm aware of. See Are rdi and rsi caller saved or callee saved registers?

But system-call calling conventions typically make all the registers except the return value call-preserved. (Usually including even condition-codes / flags.) See What are the calling conventions for UNIX & Linux system calls on i386 and x86-64

Http Post request with content type application/x-www-form-urlencoded not working in Spring

The problem is that when we use application/x-www-form-urlencoded, Spring doesn't understand it as a RequestBody. So, if we want to use this we must remove the @RequestBody annotation.

Then try the following:

@RequestMapping(value = "/patientdetails", method = RequestMethod.POST,consumes = MediaType.APPLICATION_FORM_URLENCODED_VALUE)
public @ResponseBody List<PatientProfileDto> getPatientDetails(
        PatientProfileDto name) {


    List<PatientProfileDto> list = new ArrayList<PatientProfileDto>();
    list = service.getPatient(name);
    return list;
}

Note that removed the annotation @RequestBody

getResourceAsStream returns null

What worked for me is I placed the file under

src/main/java/myfile.log

and

InputStream is = getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("myfile.log");
        
        if (is == null) {
            throw new FileNotFoundException("Log file not provided");
        }

Create hive table using "as select" or "like" and also specify delimiter

Create Table as select (CTAS) is possible in Hive.

You can try out below command:

CREATE TABLE new_test 
    row format delimited 
    fields terminated by '|' 
    STORED AS RCFile 
AS select * from source where col=1
  1. Target cannot be partitioned table.
  2. Target cannot be external table.
  3. It copies the structure as well as the data

Create table like is also possible in Hive.

  1. It just copies the source table definition.

Convert factor to integer

You can combine the two functions; coerce to characters thence to numerics:

> fac <- factor(c("1","2","1","2"))
> as.numeric(as.character(fac))
[1] 1 2 1 2

How to turn off page breaks in Google Docs?

I also rarely want to print my google docs, and the breaks annoyed me as well.

I installed the Page Sizer add-on from the add-ons menu within google docs, and made the page really long.

The page settings work globally. So your collaborators will also enjoy a page page-break-free experience in google docs, unlike the style-bot solution.

Why use double indirection? or Why use pointers to pointers?

For example, you might want to make sure that when you free the memory of something you set the pointer to null afterwards.

void safeFree(void** memory) {
    if (*memory) {
        free(*memory);
        *memory = NULL;
    }
}

When you call this function you'd call it with the address of a pointer

void* myMemory = someCrazyFunctionThatAllocatesMemory();
safeFree(&myMemory);

Now myMemory is set to NULL and any attempt to reuse it will be very obviously wrong.

How to select different app.config for several build configurations

I have solved this topic with the solution I have found here: http://www.blackwasp.co.uk/SwitchConfig.aspx

In short what they state there is: "by adding a post-build event.[...] We need to add the following:

del "$(TargetPath).config"
copy "$(ProjectDir)\Release.config" "$(TargetPath).config"
:nocopy

HTML5 Canvas 100% Width Height of Viewport?

In order to make the canvas full screen width and height always, meaning even when the browser is resized, you need to run your draw loop within a function that resizes the canvas to the window.innerHeight and window.innerWidth.

Example: http://jsfiddle.net/jaredwilli/qFuDr/

HTML

<canvas id="canvas"></canvas>

JavaScript

(function() {
    var canvas = document.getElementById('canvas'),
            context = canvas.getContext('2d');

    // resize the canvas to fill browser window dynamically
    window.addEventListener('resize', resizeCanvas, false);

    function resizeCanvas() {
            canvas.width = window.innerWidth;
            canvas.height = window.innerHeight;

            /**
             * Your drawings need to be inside this function otherwise they will be reset when 
             * you resize the browser window and the canvas goes will be cleared.
             */
            drawStuff(); 
    }
    resizeCanvas();

    function drawStuff() {
            // do your drawing stuff here
    }
})();

CSS

* { margin:0; padding:0; } /* to remove the top and left whitespace */

html, body { width:100%; height:100%; } /* just to be sure these are full screen*/

canvas { display:block; } /* To remove the scrollbars */

That is how you properly make the canvas full width and height of the browser. You just have to put all the code for drawing to the canvas in the drawStuff() function.

Efficient way to do batch INSERTS with JDBC

The Statement gives you the following option:

Statement stmt = con.createStatement();

stmt.addBatch("INSERT INTO employees VALUES (1000, 'Joe Jones')");
stmt.addBatch("INSERT INTO departments VALUES (260, 'Shoe')");
stmt.addBatch("INSERT INTO emp_dept VALUES (1000, 260)");

// submit a batch of update commands for execution
int[] updateCounts = stmt.executeBatch();

How to use WinForms progress bar?

Since .NET 4.5 you can use combination of async and await with Progress for sending updates to UI thread:

private void Calculate(int i)
{
    double pow = Math.Pow(i, i);
}

public void DoWork(IProgress<int> progress)
{
    // This method is executed in the context of
    // another thread (different than the main UI thread),
    // so use only thread-safe code
    for (int j = 0; j < 100000; j++)
    {
        Calculate(j);

        // Use progress to notify UI thread that progress has
        // changed
        if (progress != null)
            progress.Report((j + 1) * 100 / 100000);
    }
}

private async void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    progressBar1.Maximum = 100;
    progressBar1.Step = 1;

    var progress = new Progress<int>(v =>
    {
        // This lambda is executed in context of UI thread,
        // so it can safely update form controls
        progressBar1.Value = v;
    });

    // Run operation in another thread
    await Task.Run(() => DoWork(progress));

    // TODO: Do something after all calculations
}

Tasks are currently the preferred way to implement what BackgroundWorker does.

Tasks and Progress are explained in more detail here:

IE prompts to open or save json result from server

Bootstrap 4 File Input

Updated 2021

Bootstrap 5

Custom file input no longer exists so to change Choose file... you'd need to use JS or some CSS like this.

Bootstrap 4.4

Displaying the selected filename can also be done with plain JavaScript. Here's an example that assumes the standard custom-file-input with label that is the next sibling element to the input...

document.querySelector('.custom-file-input').addEventListener('change',function(e){
  var fileName = document.getElementById("myInput").files[0].name;
  var nextSibling = e.target.nextElementSibling
  nextSibling.innerText = fileName
})

https://codeply.com/p/LtpNZllird

Bootstrap 4.1+

Now in Bootstrap 4.1 the "Choose file..." placeholder text is set in the custom-file-label:

<div class="custom-file" id="customFile" lang="es">
        <input type="file" class="custom-file-input" id="exampleInputFile" aria-describedby="fileHelp">
        <label class="custom-file-label" for="exampleInputFile">
           Select file...
        </label>
</div>

Changing the "Browse" button text requires a little extra CSS or SASS. Also notice how language translation works using the lang="" attribute.

.custom-file-input ~ .custom-file-label::after {
    content: "Button Text";
}

Another Bootstrap 4.1 Option

Alternatively you can use this custom file input plugin

Bootstrap 4 Alpha 6 (Original Answer)

I think there are 2 separate issues here..

<label class="custom-file" id="customFile">
        <input type="file" class="custom-file-input">
        <span class="custom-file-control form-control-file"></span>
</label>

1 - How the change the initial placeholder and button text

In Bootstrap 4, the initial placeholder value is set on the custom-file-control with a CSS pseudo ::after element based on the HTML language. The initial file button (which isn't really a button but looks like one) is set with a CSS pseudo ::before element. These values can be overridden with CSS..

#customFile .custom-file-control:lang(en)::after {
  content: "Select file...";
}

#customFile .custom-file-control:lang(en)::before {
  content: "Click me";
}

2 - How to get the selected filename value, and update the input to show the value.

Once a file is selected, the value can be obtained using JavaScript/jQuery.

$('.custom-file-input').on('change',function(){
    var fileName = $(this).val();
})

However, since the placeholder text for the input is a pseudo element, there's no easy way to manipulate this with Js/jQuery. You can however, have a another CSS class that hides the pseudo content once the file is selected...

.custom-file-control.selected:lang(en)::after {
  content: "" !important;
}

Use jQuery to toggle the .selected class on the .custom-file-control once the file is selected. This will hide the initial placeholder value. Then put the filename value in the .form-control-file span...

$('.custom-file-input').on('change',function(){
  var fileName = $(this).val();
  $(this).next('.form-control-file').addClass("selected").html(fileName);
})

You can then handle the file upload or re-selection as needed.

Demo on Codeply (alpha 6)

How can javascript upload a blob?

Try this

var fd = new FormData();
fd.append('fname', 'test.wav');
fd.append('data', soundBlob);
$.ajax({
    type: 'POST',
    url: '/upload.php',
    data: fd,
    processData: false,
    contentType: false
}).done(function(data) {
       console.log(data);
});

You need to use the FormData API and set the jQuery.ajax's processData and contentType to false.

Check if a input box is empty

Even you don't need to measure the length of string. A ! operator can solve everything for you. Remember always: !(empty string) = true !(some string) = false

So you could write:

<input ng-model="somefield">
<span ng-show="!somefield">Sorry, the field is empty!</span>
<span ng-hide="!somefield">Thanks. Successfully validated!</span>

Open cmd.exe with administrator privileges (right click on app). Then type:

setx path "%path%;C:\Python27;"

Remember to end with a semi-colon and don't include a trailing slash.

How to sort a list of strings numerically?

The most recent solution is right. You are reading solutions as a string, in which case the order is 1, then 100, then 104 followed by 2 then 21, then 2001001010, 3 and so forth.

You have to CAST your input as an int instead:

sorted strings:

stringList = (1, 10, 2, 21, 3)

sorted ints:

intList = (1, 2, 3, 10, 21)

To cast, just put the stringList inside int ( blahblah ).

Again:

stringList = (1, 10, 2, 21, 3)

newList = int (stringList)

print newList

=> returns (1, 2, 3, 10, 21) 

Max parallel http connections in a browser?

Note that increasing a browser's max connections per server to an excessive number (as some sites suggest) can and does lock other users out of small sites with hosting plans that limit the total simultaneous connections on the server.

XPath contains(text(),'some string') doesn't work when used with node with more than one Text subnode

//*[text()='ABC'] 

returns

<street>ABC</street>
<comment>BLAH BLAH BLAH <br><br>ABC</comment>

How do I convert array of Objects into one Object in JavaScript?

Tiny ES6 solution can look like:

_x000D_
_x000D_
var arr = [{key:"11", value:"1100"},{key:"22", value:"2200"}];
var object = arr.reduce(
  (obj, item) => Object.assign(obj, { [item.key]: item.value }), {});

console.log(object)
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Also, if you use object spread, than it can look like:

var object = arr.reduce((obj, item) => ({...obj, [item.key]: item.value}) ,{});

One more solution that is 99% faster is(tested on jsperf):

var object = arr.reduce((obj, item) => (obj[item.key] = item.value, obj) ,{});

Here we benefit from comma operator, it evaluates all expression before comma and returns a last one(after last comma). So we don't copy obj each time, rather assigning new property to it.

Excel VBA Macro: User Defined Type Not Defined

Sub DeleteEmptyRows()  

    Worksheets("YourSheetName").Activate
    On Error Resume Next
    Columns("A").SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).EntireRow.Delete

End Sub

The following code will delete all rows on a sheet(YourSheetName) where the content of Column A is blank.

EDIT: User Defined Type Not Defined is caused by "oTable As Table" and "oRow As Row". Replace Table and Row with Object to resolve the error and make it compile.
