Node.js: Difference between req.query[] and req.params

I want to mention one important note regarding req.query , because currently I am working on pagination functionality based on req.query and I have one interesting example to demonstrate to you...

Example:

// Fetching patients from the database
exports.getPatients = (req, res, next) => {

const pageSize = +req.query.pageSize;
const currentPage = +req.query.currentPage;

const patientQuery = Patient.find();
let fetchedPatients;

// If pageSize and currentPage are not undefined (if they are both set and contain valid values)
if(pageSize && currentPage) {
    /**
     * Construct two different queries 
     * - Fetch all patients 
     * - Adjusted one to only fetch a selected slice of patients for a given page
     */
    patientQuery
        /**
         * This means I will not retrieve all patients I find, but I will skip the first "n" patients
         * For example, if I am on page 2, then I want to skip all patients that were displayed on page 1,
         * 
         * Another example: if I am displaying 7 patients per page , I want to skip 7 items because I am on page 2,
         * so I want to skip (7 * (2 - 1)) => 7 items
         */
        .skip(pageSize * (currentPage - 1))

        /**
         * Narrow dont the amound documents I retreive for the current page
         * Limits the amount of returned documents
         * 
         * For example: If I got 7 items per page, then I want to limit the query to only
         * return 7 items. 
         */
        .limit(pageSize);
}
patientQuery.then(documents => {
    res.status(200).json({
        message: 'Patients fetched successfully',
        patients: documents
    });
  });
};

You will noticed + sign in front of req.query.pageSize and req.query.currentPage

Why? If you delete + in this case, you will get an error, and that error will be thrown because we will use invalid type (with error message 'limit' field must be numeric).

Important: By default if you extracting something from these query parameters, it will always be a string, because it's coming the URL and it's treated as a text.

If we need to work with numbers, and convert query statements from text to number, we can simply add a plus sign in front of statement.

Inheriting constructors

This is straight from Bjarne Stroustrup's page:

If you so choose, you can still shoot yourself in the foot by inheriting constructors in a derived class in which you define new member variables needing initialization:

struct B1 {
    B1(int) { }
};

struct D1 : B1 {
    using B1::B1; // implicitly declares D1(int)
    int x;
};

void test()
{
    D1 d(6);    // Oops: d.x is not initialized
    D1 e;       // error: D1 has no default constructor
}

How to change Windows 10 interface language on Single Language version

Actually, it looks like you may be able to download language packs directly through Windows Update. Open the old Control Panel by pressing WinKey+X and clicking Control Panel. Then go to Clock, Language, and Region > Add a language. Add the desired language. Then under the language it should say "Windows display language: Available". Click "Options" and then "Download and install language pack."

I'm not sure why this functionality appears to be less accessible than it was in Windows 8.

Creating an iframe with given HTML dynamically

I know this is an old question but I thought I would provide an example using the srcdoc attribute as this is now widely supported and this is question is viewed often.

Using the srcdoc attribute, you can provide inline HTML to embed. It overrides the src attribute if supported. The browser will fall back to the src attribute if unsupported.

I would also recommend using the sandbox attribute to apply extra restrictions to the content in the frame. This is especially important if the HTML is not your own.

_x000D_

const iframe = document.createElement('iframe');_x000D_
const html = '<body>Foo</body>';_x000D_
iframe.srcdoc = html;_x000D_
iframe.sandbox = '';_x000D_
document.body.appendChild(iframe);

_x000D_

If you need to support older browsers, you can check for srcdoc support and fallback to one of the other methods from other answers.

_x000D_

function setIframeHTML(iframe, html) {_x000D_
  if (typeof iframe.srcdoc !== 'undefined') {_x000D_
    iframe.srcdoc = html;_x000D_
  } else {_x000D_
    iframe.sandbox = 'allow-same-origin';_x000D_
    iframe.contentWindow.document.open();_x000D_
    iframe.contentWindow.document.write(html);_x000D_
    iframe.contentWindow.document.close();_x000D_

What is a "static" function in C?

There is a big difference between static functions in C and static member functions in C++. In C, a static function is not visible outside of its translation unit, which is the object file it is compiled into. In other words, making a function static limits its scope. You can think of a static function as being "private" to its *.c file (although that is not strictly correct).

In C++, "static" can also apply to member functions and data members of classes. A static data member is also called a "class variable", while a non-static data member is an "instance variable". This is Smalltalk terminology. This means that there is only one copy of a static data member shared by all objects of a class, while each object has its own copy of a non-static data member. So a static data member is essentially a global variable, that is a member of a class.

Non-static member functions can access all data members of the class: static and non-static. Static member functions can only operate on the static data members.

One way to think about this is that in C++ static data members and static member functions do not belong to any object, but to the entire class.

After submitting a POST form open a new window showing the result

I know this basic method:

<input type=”image” src=”submit.png”> (in any place)

<form name=”print”>
<input type=”hidden” name=”a” value=”<?= $a ?>”>
<input type=”hidden” name=”b” value=”<?= $b ?>”>
<input type=”hidden” name=”c” value=”<?= $c ?>”>
</form>

<script>
$(‘#submit’).click(function(){
    open(”,”results”);
    with(document.print)
    {
        method = “POST”;
        action = “results.php”;
        target = “results”;
        submit();
    }
});
</script>

Works!

How to send a pdf file directly to the printer using JavaScript?

I think this Library of JavaScript might Help you:

It's called Print.js

First Include

<script src="print.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="print.css">

It's basic usage is to call printJS() and just pass in a PDF document url: printJS('docs/PrintJS.pdf')

What I did was something like this, this will also show "Loading...." if PDF document is too large.

<button type="button" onclick="printJS({printable:'docs/xx_large_printjs.pdf', type:'pdf', showModal:true})">
    Print PDF with Message
</button>

However keep in mind that:

Firefox currently doesn't allow printing PDF documents using iframes. There is an open bug in Mozilla's website about this. When using Firefox, Print.js will open the PDF file into a new tab.

cordova run with ios error .. Error code 65 for command: xcodebuild with args:

You need a development provisioning profile on your build machine. Apps can run on the simulator without a profile, but they are required to run on an actual device.

If you open the project in Xcode, it may automatically set up provisioning for you. Otherwise you will have to create go to the iOS Dev Center and create a profile.

Vue.js unknown custom element

Be sure that you have added the component to the components.

For example:

export default {
data() {
    return {}
},
components: {
    'lead-status-modal': LeadStatusModal,
},
}

Volatile boolean vs AtomicBoolean

AtomicBoolean has methods that perform their compound operations atomically and without having to use a synchronized block. On the other hand, volatile boolean can only perform compound operations if done so within a synchronized block.

The memory effects of reading/writing to volatile boolean are identical to the get and set methods of AtomicBoolean respectively.

For example the compareAndSet method will atomically perform the following (without a synchronized block):

if (value == expectedValue) {
    value = newValue;
    return true;
} else {
    return false;
}

Hence, the compareAndSet method will let you write code that is guaranteed to execute only once, even when called from multiple threads. For example:

final AtomicBoolean isJobDone = new AtomicBoolean(false);

...

if (isJobDone.compareAndSet(false, true)) {
    listener.notifyJobDone();
}

Is guaranteed to only notify the listener once (assuming no other thread sets the AtomicBoolean back to false again after it being set to true).

How to fix java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Unsupported major.minor version

The most common issue is misconfiguration of your JAVA_HOME variable which should point to the right Java Development Kit library, if you've multiple installed.

To find where SDK Java folder is located, run the following commands:

jrunscript -e 'java.lang.System.out.println(java.lang.System.getProperty("java.home"));'

Debian/Ubuntu

To check which java (openjdk) you've installed, check via:

dpkg -l "openjdk*" | grep ^i

or:

update-java-alternatives -l

To change it, use:

update-alternatives --config java

^{Prefix with sudo if required.}

to select the alternative java version.

Or check which are available for install:

apt-cache search ^openjdk

^{Prefix with sudo if required.}

Then you can install, for example:

apt-get install openjdk-7-jre

^{Prefix with sudo if required.}

Fedora, Oracle Linux, Red Hat

Install/upgrade appropriate package via:

yum install java-1.7.0-openjdk java-1.7.0-openjdk-devel

The java-1.7.0-openjdk package contains just the Java Runtime Environment. If you want to develop Java programs then install the java-1.7.0-openjdk-devel package.

BSD

There is an OpenJDK 7 package in the FreeBSD Ports collection called openjdk7 which probably needs to be reconfigured.

See: OpenJDK wiki page.

Windows

Just install appropriate Java SE Development Kit library from the Oracle site or install

Jenkins

If you're experiencing this issue with Jenkins, see:

JENKINS-30561 - Unable to launch agent using SSH

However selecting the right version of Java (newer) with update-alternatives should work.

How to get the Touch position in android?

Here is the Koltin style, I use this in my project and it works very well:

this.yourview.setOnTouchListener(View.OnTouchListener { _, event ->
        val x = event.x
        val y = event.y

        when(event.action) {
            MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN -> {
                Log.d(TAG, "ACTION_DOWN \nx: $x\ny: $y")
            }
            MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE -> {
                Log.d(TAG, "ACTION_MOVE \nx: $x\ny: $y")
            }
            MotionEvent.ACTION_UP -> {
                Log.d(TAG, "ACTION_UP \nx: $x\ny: $y")
            }
        }
        return@OnTouchListener  true
    })

need to add a class to an element

You probably need something like:

result.className = 'red';

In pure JavaScript you should use className to deal with classes. jQuery has an abstraction called addClass for it.

Creating for loop until list.length

You could learn about Python loops here: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Python_Programming/Loops

You have to know that Python doesn't have { and } for start and end of loop, instead it depends on tab chars you enter in first of line, I mean line indents.

So you can do loop inside loop with double tab (indent)

An example of double loop is like this:

onetoten = range(1,11)
tentotwenty = range(10,21)
for count in onetoten:
    for count2 in tentotwenty
        print(count2)

What's the best way to use R scripts on the command line (terminal)?

Miguel Sanchez's response is the way it should be. The other way executing Rscript could be 'env' command to run the system wide RScript.

How to print / echo environment variables?

To bring the existing answers together with an important clarification:

As stated, the problem with NAME=sam echo "$NAME" is that $NAME gets expanded by the current shell before assignment NAME=sam takes effect.

Solutions that preserve the original semantics (of the (ineffective) solution attempt NAME=sam echo "$NAME"):

Use either eval^[1] (as in the question itself), or printenv (as added by Aaron McDaid to heemayl's answer), or bash -c (from Ljm Dullaart's answer), in descending order of efficiency:

NAME=sam eval 'echo "$NAME"'  # use `eval` only if you fully control the command string
NAME=sam printenv NAME
NAME=sam bash -c 'echo "$NAME"'

^{printenv is not a POSIX utility, but it is available on both Linux and macOS/BSD.}

What this style of invocation (<var>=<name> cmd ...) does is to define NAME:

as an environment variable
that is only defined for the command being invoked.

In other words: NAME only exists for the command being invoked, and has no effect on the current shell (if no variable named NAME existed before, there will be none after; a preexisting NAME variable remains unchanged).

POSIX defines the rules for this kind of invocation in its Command Search and Execution chapter.

The following solutions work very differently (from heemayl's answer):

NAME=sam; echo "$NAME"
NAME=sam && echo "$NAME"

While they produce the same output, they instead define:

a shell variable NAME (only) rather than an environment variable
- if echo were a command that relied on environment variable NAME, it wouldn't be defined (or potentially defined differently from earlier).
that lives on after the command.

Note that every environment variable is also exposed as a shell variable, but the inverse is not true: shell variables are only visible to the current shell and its subshells, but not to child processes, such as external utilities and (non-sourced) scripts (unless they're marked as environment variables with export or declare -x).

^{[1] Technically, bash is in violation of POSIX here (as is zsh): Since eval is a special shell built-in, the preceding NAME=sam assignment should cause the the variable $NAME to remain in scope after the command finishes, but that's not what happens.

However, when you run bash in POSIX compatibility mode, it is compliant.

dash and ksh are always compliant.

The exact rules are complicated, and some aspects are left up to the implementations to decide; again, see Command Search and Execution.

Also, the usual disclaimer applies: Use eval only on input you fully control or implicitly trust.}

bash string equality

There's no difference, == is a synonym for = (for the C/C++ people, I assume). See here, for example.

You could double-check just to be really sure or just for your interest by looking at the bash source code, should be somewhere in the parsing code there, but I couldn't find it straightaway.

document.getelementbyId will return null if element is not defined?

Yes it will return null if it's not present you can try this below in the demo. Both will return true. The first elements exists the second doesn't.

Demo

Html

<div id="xx"></div>

Javascript:

   if (document.getElementById('xx') !=null) 
     console.log('it exists!');

   if (document.getElementById('xxThisisNotAnElementOnThePage') ==null) 
     console.log('does not exist!');

Setting max-height for table cell contents

Another way around it that may/may not suit but surely the simplest:

td {
    display: table-caption;
}

Php artisan make:auth command is not defined

Checkout your laravel/framework version on your composer.json file,

If it's either "^6.0" or higher than "^5.9",

you have to use php artisan ui:auth instead of php artisan make:auth.

Before using that you have to install new dependencies by calling composer require laravel/ui --dev in the current directory.

Node.js - use of module.exports as a constructor

CommonJS modules allow two ways to define exported properties. In either case you are returning an Object/Function. Because functions are first class citizens in JavaScript they to can act just like Objects (technically they are Objects). That said your question about using the new keywords has a simple answer: Yes. I'll illustrate...

Module exports

You can either use the exports variable provided to attach properties to it. Once required in another module those assign properties become available. Or you can assign an object to the module.exports property. In either case what is returned by require() is a reference to the value of module.exports.

A pseudo-code example of how a module is defined:

var theModule = {
  exports: {}
};

(function(module, exports, require) {

  // Your module code goes here

})(theModule, theModule.exports, theRequireFunction);

In the example above module.exports and exports are the same object. The cool part is that you don't see any of that in your CommonJS modules as the whole system takes care of that for you all you need to know is there is a module object with an exports property and an exports variable that points to the same thing the module.exports does.

Require with constructors

Since you can attach a function directly to module.exports you can essentially return a function and like any function it could be managed as a constructor (That's in italics since the only difference between a function and a constructor in JavaScript is how you intend to use it. Technically there is no difference.)

So the following is perfectly good code and I personally encourage it:

// My module
function MyObject(bar) {
  this.bar = bar;
}

MyObject.prototype.foo = function foo() {
  console.log(this.bar);
};

module.exports = MyObject;

// In another module:
var MyObjectOrSomeCleverName = require("./my_object.js");
var my_obj_instance = new MyObjectOrSomeCleverName("foobar");
my_obj_instance.foo(); // => "foobar"

Require for non-constructors

Same thing goes for non-constructor like functions:

// My Module
exports.someFunction = function someFunction(msg) {
  console.log(msg);
}

// In another module
var MyModule = require("./my_module.js");
MyModule.someFunction("foobar"); // => "foobar"

How to vertically align into the center of the content of a div with defined width/height?

Simple trick to vertically center the content of the div is to set the line height to the same as height:

<div>this is some line of text!</div>
div {
width: 400px
height: 50px;
line-height: 50px;
}

but this is works only for one line of text!

Best approach is with div as container and a span with the value in it:

.cont {
  width: 100px;
  height: 30px;
  display: table;
}

.val {
  display: table-cell;
  vertical-align: middle;
}

    <div class="cont">
      <span class="val">CZECH REPUBLIC, 24532 PRAGUE, Sesame Street 123</span>
    </div>

Resource from src/main/resources not found after building with maven

FileReader reads from files on the file system.

Perhaps you intended to use something like this to load a file from the class path

// this will look in src/main/resources before building and myjar.jar! after building.
InputStream is = MyClass.class.getClassloader()
                     .getResourceAsStream("config.txt");

Or you could extract the file from the jar before reading it.

How can I copy a Python string?

You don't need to copy a Python string. They are immutable, and the copy module always returns the original in such cases, as do str(), the whole string slice, and concatenating with an empty string.

Moreover, your 'hello' string is interned (certain strings are). Python deliberately tries to keep just the one copy, as that makes dictionary lookups faster.

One way you could work around this is to actually create a new string, then slice that string back to the original content:

>>> a = 'hello'
>>> b = (a + '.')[:-1]
>>> id(a), id(b)
(4435312528, 4435312432)

But all you are doing now is waste memory. It is not as if you can mutate these string objects in any way, after all.

If all you wanted to know is how much memory a Python object requires, use sys.getsizeof(); it gives you the memory footprint of any Python object.

For containers this does not include the contents; you'd have to recurse into each container to calculate a total memory size:

>>> import sys
>>> a = 'hello'
>>> sys.getsizeof(a)
42
>>> b = {'foo': 'bar'}
>>> sys.getsizeof(b)
280
>>> sys.getsizeof(b) + sum(sys.getsizeof(k) + sys.getsizeof(v) for k, v in b.items())
360

You can then choose to use id() tracking to take an actual memory footprint or to estimate a maximum footprint if objects were not cached and reused.

How can I enable cURL for an installed Ubuntu LAMP stack?

First thing to do: Check for the PHP version your machine is running.

Command Line: php -version

This will show something like this (in my case):

PHP 7.0.8-0ubuntu0.16.04.3 (cli) ( NTS ) Copyright (c) 1997-2016 The PHP Group

If you are using PHP 5.x.x => run command: sudo apt-get install php5-curl

If PHP 7.x.x => run command (in my case): sudo apt-get install php7.0-curl

Enable this extension by running:

sudo gedit /etc/php/7.0/cli/php.ini

And in the file "php.ini" search for keyword "curl" to find this line below and change it from

;extension=php_curl.dll

To:

extension=php_curl.dll

Next, save your file "php.ini".

Finally, in your command line, restart your server by running: sudo service apache2 restart.

Bootstrap button drop-down inside responsive table not visible because of scroll

Well, reading the top answer, i saw that it really dont works when you are seeing the scroll bar and the toggle button was on last column (in my case) or other column that is unseen

But, if you change 'inherit' for 'hidden' it will work.

$('.table-responsive').on('show.bs.dropdown', function () {
    $('.table-responsive').css( "overflow", "hidden" );
}).on('hide.bs.dropdown', function () {
    $('.table-responsive').css( "overflow", "auto" );
})

Try to do that way.

CALL command vs. START with /WAIT option

For exe files, I suppose the differences are nearly unimportant.
But to start an exe you don't even need CALL.

When starting another batch it's a big difference,
as CALL will start it in the same window and the called batch has access to the same variable context.
So it can also change variables which affects the caller.

START will create a new cmd.exe for the called batch and without /b it will open a new window.
As it's a new context, variables can't be shared.

Differences

Using start /wait <prog>
- Changes of environment variables are lost when the <prog> ends
- The caller waits until the <prog> is finished

Using call <prog>
- For exe it can be ommited, because it's equal to just starting <prog>
- For an exe-prog the caller batch waits or starts the exe asynchronous, but the behaviour depends on the exe itself.
- For batch files, the caller batch continues, when the called <batch-file> finishes, WITHOUT call the control will not return to the caller batch

Addendum:

Using CALL can change the parameters (for batch and exe files), but only when they contain carets or percent signs.

call myProg param1 param^^2 "param^3" %%path%%

Will be expanded to (from within an batch file)

myProg param1 param2 param^^3 <content of path>

How to convert an int value to string in Go?

ok,most of them have shown you something good. Let'me give you this:

// ToString Change arg to string
func ToString(arg interface{}, timeFormat ...string) string {
    if len(timeFormat) > 1 {
        log.SetFlags(log.Llongfile | log.LstdFlags)
        log.Println(errors.New(fmt.Sprintf("timeFormat's length should be one")))
    }
    var tmp = reflect.Indirect(reflect.ValueOf(arg)).Interface()
    switch v := tmp.(type) {
    case int:
        return strconv.Itoa(v)
    case int8:
        return strconv.FormatInt(int64(v), 10)
    case int16:
        return strconv.FormatInt(int64(v), 10)
    case int32:
        return strconv.FormatInt(int64(v), 10)
    case int64:
        return strconv.FormatInt(v, 10)
    case string:
        return v
    case float32:
        return strconv.FormatFloat(float64(v), 'f', -1, 32)
    case float64:
        return strconv.FormatFloat(v, 'f', -1, 64)
    case time.Time:
        if len(timeFormat) == 1 {
            return v.Format(timeFormat[0])
        }
        return v.Format("2006-01-02 15:04:05")
    case jsoncrack.Time:
        if len(timeFormat) == 1 {
            return v.Time().Format(timeFormat[0])
        }
        return v.Time().Format("2006-01-02 15:04:05")
    case fmt.Stringer:
        return v.String()

    default:
        return ""

Excel - Sum column if condition is met by checking other column in same table

Actually a more refined solution is use the build-in function sumif, this function does exactly what you need, will only sum those expenses of a specified month.

example

Difference between thread's context class loader and normal classloader

Each class will use its own classloader to load other classes. So if ClassA.class references ClassB.class then ClassB needs to be on the classpath of the classloader of ClassA, or its parents.

The thread context classloader is the current classloader for the current thread. An object can be created from a class in ClassLoaderC and then passed to a thread owned by ClassLoaderD. In this case the object needs to use Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader() directly if it wants to load resources that are not available on its own classloader.

Hide axis values but keep axis tick labels in matplotlib

Not sure this is the best way, but you can certainly replace the tick labels like this:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
x = range(10)
y = range(10)
plt.plot(x,y)
plt.xticks(x," ")
plt.show()

In Python 3.4 this generates a simple line plot with no tick labels on the x-axis. A simple example is here: http://matplotlib.org/examples/ticks_and_spines/ticklabels_demo_rotation.html

This related question also has some better suggestions: Hiding axis text in matplotlib plots

I'm new to python. Your mileage may vary in earlier versions. Maybe others can help?

Java - removing first character of a string

substring() method returns a new String that contains a subsequence of characters currently contained in this sequence.

The substring begins at the specified start and extends to the character at index end - 1.

It has two forms. The first is

String substring(int FirstIndex)

Here, FirstIndex specifies the index at which the substring will begin. This form returns a copy of the substring that begins at FirstIndex and runs to the end of the invoking string.

String substring(int FirstIndex, int endIndex)

Here, FirstIndex specifies the beginning index, and endIndex specifies the stopping point. The string returned contains all the characters from the beginning index, up to, but not including, the ending index.

Example

   String str = "Amiyo";
   // prints substring from index 3
   System.out.println("substring is = " + str.substring(3)); // Output 'yo'

How to center a window on the screen in Tkinter?

CENTERING THE WINDOW IN PYTHON Tkinter This is the most easiest thing in tkinter because all we must know is the dimension of the window as well as the dimensions of the computer screen. I come up with the following code which can help someone somehow and i did add some comments so that they can follow up.

code

    #  create a window first
    root = Tk()
    # define window dimensions width and height
    window_width = 800
    window_height = 500
    # get the screen size of your computer [width and height using the root object as foolows]
    screen_width = root.winfo_screenwidth()
    screen_height = root.winfo_screenheight()
    # Get the window position from the top dynamically as well as position from left or right as follows
    position_top = int(screen_height/2 -window_height/2)
    position_right = int(screen_width / 2 - window_width/2)
    # this is the line that will center your window
    root.geometry(f'{window_width}x{window_height}+{position_right}+{position_top}')
    # initialise the window
    root.mainloop(0)

Checking letter case (Upper/Lower) within a string in Java

A loop like this one:

else if (!(Character.isLowerCase(ch)))
            {
                for (int i=1; i<password.length(); i++)
                {
                   ch = password.charAt(i);

                    if (!Character.isLowerCase(ch))
                       {  
                        System.out.println("Invalid password - Must have a Lower Case character.");
                        password = "";
                       }
                     // end if
                } //end for
            }

Has an obvious logical flaw: You enter it if the first character is not lowercase, then test if the second character is not lower case. At that point you throw an error.

Instead, you should do something like this (not full code, just an example):

boolean hasLower = false, hasUpper = false, hasNumber = false, hasSpecial = false; // etc - all the rules
for ( ii = 0; ii < password.length(); ii++ ) {
  ch = password.charAt(ii);
  // check each rule in turn, with code like this:
  if Character.isLowerCase(ch) hasLower = true;
  if Character.isUpperCase(ch) hasUpper = true;
  // ... etc for all the tests you want to do
}

if(hasLower && hasUpper && ...) {
  // password is good
} 
else {
  // password is bad
}

Of course the code snippet you provided, besides the faulty logic, did not have code to test for the other conditions that your "help" option printed out. As was pointed out in one of the other answers, you could consider using regular expressions to help you speed up the process of finding each of these things. For example,

hasNumber  : use regex pattern "\d+" for "find at least one digit"
hasSpecial : use regex pattern "[!@#$%^&*]+" for "find at least one of these characters"

In code:

hasNumber  = password.matches(".*\\d.*");  // "a digit with anything before or after"
hasSpecial = password.matches(".*[!@#$%^&*].*");
hasNoNOT   = !password.matches(".*NOT.*");
hasNoAND   = !password.matches(".*AND.*");

It is possible to combine these things in clever ways - but especially when you are a novice regex user, it is much better to be a little bit "slow and tedious", and get code that works first time (plus you will be able to figure out what you did six months from now).

Javascript variable access in HTML

In raw javascript, you'll want to put an id on your anchor tag and do this:

var finalSplitText = simpleText.split("_");
var splitText = finalSplitText[0];

function insertText(){
    document.getElementById('someId').InnerHTML = splitText;}
</script>

<body onload="insertText()">
<a href = test.html id="someId">I need the value of "splitText" variable here</a>
</body>
</html>

How to restart a windows service using Task Scheduler

Instead of using a bat file, you can simply create a Scheduled Task. Most of the time you define just one action. In this case, create two actions with the NET command. The first one to stop the service, the second one to start the service. Give them a STOP and START argument, followed by the service name.

In this example we restart the Printer Spooler service.

NET STOP "Print Spooler" 
NET START "Print Spooler"

Note: unfortunately NET RESTART <service name> does not exist.

Java regex capturing groups indexes

Parenthesis () are used to enable grouping of regex phrases.

The group(1) contains the string that is between parenthesis (.*) so .* in this case

And group(0) contains whole matched string.

If you would have more groups (read (...) ) it would be put into groups with next indexes (2, 3 and so on).

Reading an Excel file in PHP

You have 2 choices as far as I know:

Spreadsheet_Excel_Reader, which knows the Office 2003 binary format
PHPExcel, which knows both Office 2003 as well as Excel 2007 (XML). (Follow the link, and you'll see they upgraded this library to PHPSpreadSheet)

PHPExcel uses Spreadsheet_Excel_Reader for the Office 2003 format.

Update: I once had to read some Excel files but I used the Office 2003 XML format in order to read them and told the people that were using the application to save and upload only that type of Excel file.

Using braces with dynamic variable names in PHP

I was in a position where I had 6 identical arrays and I needed to pick the right one depending on another variable and then assign values to it. In the case shown here $comp_cat was 'a' so I needed to pick my 'a' array ( I also of course had 'b' to 'f' arrays)

Note that the values for the position of the variable in the array go after the closing brace.

${'comp_cat_'.$comp_cat.'_arr'}[1][0] = "FRED BLOGGS";

${'comp_cat_'.$comp_cat.'_arr'}[1][1] = $file_tidy;

echo 'First array value is '.$comp_cat_a_arr[1][0].' and the second value is .$comp_cat_a_arr[1][1];

C# Iterating through an enum? (Indexing a System.Array)

In the Enum.GetValues results, casting to int produces the numeric value. Using ToString() produces the friendly name. No other calls to Enum.GetName are needed.

public enum MyEnum
{
    FirstWord,
    SecondWord,
    Another = 5
};

// later in some method  

 StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
 foreach (var val in Enum.GetValues(typeof(MyEnum))) {
   int numberValue = (int)val;
   string friendyName = val.ToString();
   sb.Append("Enum number " + numberValue + " has the name " + friendyName + "\n");
 }
 File.WriteAllText(@"C:\temp\myfile.txt", sb.ToString());

 // Produces the output file contents:
 /*
 Enum number 0 has the name FirstWord
 Enum number 1 has the name SecondWord
 Enum number 5 has the name Another

Run this command from a command window with the same user your running visual studio as.

rundll32.exe keymgr.dll,KRShowKeyMgr

You'll see a popup with all your stored credentials. Remove the one for your TFS server.

Note: You will need to restart visual studio because it caches the tfs credentials.

Linux configure/make, --prefix?

Do configure --help and see what other options are available.

It is very common to provide different options to override different locations. By standard, --prefix overrides all of them, so you need to override config location after specifying the prefix. This course of actions usually works for every automake-based project.

The worse case scenario is when you need to modify the configure script, or even worse, generated makefiles and config.h headers. But yeah, for Xfce you can try something like this:

./configure --prefix=/home/me/somefolder/mybuild/output/target --sysconfdir=/etc

I believe that should do it.

How to play only the audio of a Youtube video using HTML 5?

Embed the video player and use CSS to hide the video. If you do it properly you may even be able to hide only the video and not the controls below it.

However, I'd recommend against it, because it will be a violation of YouTube TOS. Use your own server instead if you really want to play only audio.

How to scale a UIImageView proportionally?

I used following code.where imageCoverView is UIView holds UIImageView

if (image.size.height<self.imageCoverView.bounds.size.height && image.size.width<self.imageCoverView.bounds.size.width)
{
    [self.profileImageView sizeToFit];
    self.profileImageView.contentMode =UIViewContentModeCenter
}
else
{
    self.profileImageView.contentMode =UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit;
}

Using ExcelDataReader to read Excel data starting from a particular cell

To be more clear, I will begin at the beginning.

I will rely on the sample code found in https://github.com/ExcelDataReader/ExcelDataReader, but with some modifications to avoid inconveniences.

The following code detects the file format, either xls or xlsx.

FileStream stream = File.Open(filePath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
IExcelDataReader excelReader;

//1. Reading Excel file
if (Path.GetExtension(filePath).ToUpper() == ".XLS")
{
    //1.1 Reading from a binary Excel file ('97-2003 format; *.xls)
    excelReader = ExcelReaderFactory.CreateBinaryReader(stream);
}
else
{
    //1.2 Reading from a OpenXml Excel file (2007 format; *.xlsx)
    excelReader = ExcelReaderFactory.CreateOpenXmlReader(stream);
}

//2. DataSet - The result of each spreadsheet will be created in the result.Tables
DataSet result = excelReader.AsDataSet();

//3. DataSet - Create column names from first row
excelReader.IsFirstRowAsColumnNames = false;

Now we can access the file contents in a more convenient way. I use DataTable for this. The following is an example to access a specific cell, and print its value in the console:

DataTable dt = result.Tables[0];
Console.WriteLine(dt.Rows[rowPosition][columnPosition]);

If you do not want to do a DataTable, you can do the same as follows:

Console.WriteLine(result.Tables[0].Rows[rowPosition][columnPosition]);

It is important not try to read beyond the limits of the table, for this you can see the number of rows and columns as follows:

Console.WriteLine(result.Tables[0].Rows.Count);
Console.WriteLine(result.Tables[0].Columns.Count);

Finally, when you're done, you should close the reader and free resources:

//5. Free resources (IExcelDataReader is IDisposable)
excelReader.Close();

I hope you find it useful.

(I understand that the question is old, but I make this contribution to enhance the knowledge base, because there is little material about particular implementations of this library).

How to get the selected date value while using Bootstrap Datepicker?

Generally speaking,

$('#startdate').data('date')

is best because

$('#startdate').val()

not work if you have a datepicker "inline"

Excel VBA, How to select rows based on data in a column?

Yes using Option Explicit is a good habit. Using .Select however is not :) it reduces the speed of the code. Also fully justify sheet names else the code will always run for the Activesheet which might not be what you actually wanted.

Is this what you are trying?

Option Explicit

Sub Sample()
    Dim lastRow As Long, i As Long
    Dim CopyRange As Range

    '~~> Change Sheet1 to relevant sheet name
    With Sheets("Sheet1")
        lastRow = .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row

        For i = 2 To lastRow
            If Len(Trim(.Range("A" & i).Value)) <> 0 Then
                If CopyRange Is Nothing Then
                    Set CopyRange = .Rows(i)
                Else
                    Set CopyRange = Union(CopyRange, .Rows(i))
                End If
            Else
                Exit For
            End If
        Next

        If Not CopyRange Is Nothing Then
            '~~> Change Sheet2 to relevant sheet name
            CopyRange.Copy Sheets("Sheet2").Rows(1)
        End If
    End With
End Sub

NOTE

If if you have data from Row 2 till Row 10 and row 11 is blank and then you have data again from Row 12 then the above code will only copy data from Row 2 till Row 10

If you want to copy all rows which have data then use this code.

Option Explicit

Sub Sample()
    Dim lastRow As Long, i As Long
    Dim CopyRange As Range

    '~~> Change Sheet1 to relevant sheet name
    With Sheets("Sheet1")
        lastRow = .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row

        For i = 2 To lastRow
            If Len(Trim(.Range("A" & i).Value)) <> 0 Then
                If CopyRange Is Nothing Then
                    Set CopyRange = .Rows(i)
                Else
                    Set CopyRange = Union(CopyRange, .Rows(i))
                End If
            End If
        Next

        If Not CopyRange Is Nothing Then
            '~~> Change Sheet2 to relevant sheet name
            CopyRange.Copy Sheets("Sheet2").Rows(1)
        End If
    End With
End Sub

Hope this is what you wanted?

Difference between os.getenv and os.environ.get

One difference observed (Python27):

os.environ raises an exception if the environmental variable does not exist. os.getenv does not raise an exception, but returns None

Getting the text that follows after the regex match

You just need to put "group(1)" instead of "group()" in the following line and the return will be the one you expected:

System.out.println("I found the text: " + matcher.group(**1**).toString());

Class name does not name a type in C++

You must first include B.h from A.h. B b; makes no sense until you have included B.h.

Easiest way to read/write a file's content in Python

And do whatever you want with the content "s"

How to make Apache serve index.php instead of index.html?

As others have noted, most likely you don't have .html set up to handle php code.

Having said that, if all you're doing is using index.html to include index.php, your question should probably be 'how do I use index.php as index document?

In which case, for Apache (httpd.conf), search for DirectoryIndex and replace the line with this (will only work if you have dir_module enabled, but that's default on most installs):

DirectoryIndex index.php

If you use other directory indexes, list them in order of preference i.e.

DirectoryIndex index.php index.phtml index.html index.htm

React this.setState is not a function

You can avoid the need for .bind(this) with an ES6 arrow function.

VK.api('users.get',{fields: 'photo_50'},(data) => {
        if(data.response){
            this.setState({ //the error happens here
                FirstName: data.response[0].first_name
            });
            console.info(this.state.FirstName);
        }

    });

Send POST data via raw json with postman

I was facing the same problem, following code worked for me:

$params = (array) json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'), TRUE);
print_r($params);

Difference between $.ajax() and $.get() and $.load()

Very basic but

$.load(): Load a piece of html into a container DOM.
$.get(): Use this if you want to make a GET call and play extensively with the response.
$.post(): Use this if you want to make a POST call and don’t want to load the response to some container DOM.
$.ajax(): Use this if you need to do something when XHR fails, or you need to specify ajax options (e.g. cache: true) on the fly.

Which @NotNull Java annotation should I use?

If you are building your application using Spring Framework I would suggest using javax.validation.constraints.NotNull comming from Beans Validation packaged in following dependency:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>javax.validation</groupId>
        <artifactId>validation-api</artifactId>
        <version>1.1.0.Final</version>
    </dependency>

The main advantage of this annotation is that Spring provides support for both method parameters and class fields annotated with javax.validation.constraints.NotNull. All you need to do to enable support is:

supply the api jar for beans validation and jar with implementation of validator of jsr-303/jsr-349 annotations (which comes with Hibernate Validator 5.x dependency):

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.validation</groupId>
    <artifactId>validation-api</artifactId>
    <version>1.1.0.Final</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
    <artifactId>hibernate-validator</artifactId>
    <version>5.4.1.Final</version>
</dependency>

provide MethodValidationPostProcessor to spring's context

  @Configuration
  @ValidationConfig
  public class ValidationConfig implements MyService {

        @Bean
        public MethodValidationPostProcessor providePostProcessor() {
              return new MethodValidationPostProcessor()
        }
  }

finally you annotate your classes with Spring's org.springframework.validation.annotation.Validated and validation will be automatically handled by Spring.

Example:

@Service
@Validated
public class MyServiceImpl implements MyService {

  @Override
  public Something doSomething(@NotNull String myParameter) {
        // No need to do something like assert myParameter != null  
  }
}

When you try calling method doSomething and pass null as the parameter value, spring (by means of HibernateValidator) will throw ConstraintViolationException. No need for manuall work here.

You can also validate return values.

Another important benefit of javax.validation.constraints.NotNull comming for Beans Validation Framework is that at the moment it is still developed and new features are planned for new version 2.0.

What about @Nullable? There is nothing like that in Beans Validation 1.1. Well, I could arguee that if you decide to use @NotNull than everything which is NOT annotated with @NonNull is effectively "nullable", so the @Nullable annotation is useless.

How to compare two lists in python?

From your post I gather that you want to compare dates, not arrays. If this is the case, then use the appropriate object: a datetime object.

Please check the documentation for the datetime module. Dates are a tough cookie. Use reliable algorithms.

Changing background color of text box input not working when empty

Don't add styles to value of input so use like

        inputElem.style.backgroundColor = "yellow";
                }
        }

Maven: add a folder or jar file into current classpath

The classpath setting of the compiler plugin are two args. Changed it like this and it worked for me:

<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.6.1</version>
<configuration>
  <compilerArgs>
     <arg>-cp</arg>
     <arg>${cp}:${basedir}/lib/bad.jar</arg>
  </compilerArgs>
</configuration>

I used the gmavenplus-plugin to read the path and create the property 'cp':

      <plugin>
    <!--
      Use Groovy to read classpath and store into
      file named value of property <cpfile>

      In second step use Groovy to read the contents of
      the file into a new property named <cp>

      In the compiler plugin this is used to create a
      valid classpath
    -->
    <groupId>org.codehaus.gmavenplus</groupId>
    <artifactId>gmavenplus-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>1.12.0</version>
    <dependencies>
      <dependency>
        <groupId>org.codehaus.groovy</groupId>
        <artifactId>groovy-all</artifactId>
        <!-- any version of Groovy \>= 1.5.0 should work here -->
        <version>3.0.6</version>
        <type>pom</type>
        <scope>runtime</scope>
      </dependency>
    </dependencies>

        </goals>
      </execution>

    </executions>
    <configuration>
      <scripts>
        <script><![CDATA[
                def file = new File(project.properties.cpfile)
                /* create a new property named 'cp'*/
                project.properties.cp = file.getText()
                println '<<< Retrieving classpath into new property named <cp> >>>'
                println 'cp = ' + project.properties.cp

Conveniently map between enum and int / String

You could perhaps use something like

interface EnumWithId {
    public int getId();

}


enum Foo implements EnumWithId {

   ...
}

That would reduce the need for reflection in your utility class.

Importing Excel into a DataTable Quickly

Caling .Value2 is an expensive operation because it's a COM-interop call. I would instead read the entire range into an array and then loop through the array:

object[,] data = Range.Value2;

// Create new Column in DataTable
for (int cCnt = 1; cCnt <= Range.Columns.Count; cCnt++)
{
    textBox3.Text = cCnt.ToString();

    var Column = new DataColumn();
    Column.DataType = System.Type.GetType("System.String");
    Column.ColumnName = cCnt.ToString();
    DT.Columns.Add(Column);

    // Create row for Data Table
    for (int rCnt = 1; rCnt <= Range.Rows.Count; rCnt++)
    {
        textBox2.Text = rCnt.ToString();

        string CellVal = String.Empty;
        try
        {
            cellVal = (string)(data[rCnt, cCnt]);
        }
        catch (Microsoft.CSharp.RuntimeBinder.RuntimeBinderException)
        {
            ConvertVal = (double)(data[rCnt, cCnt]);
            cellVal = ConvertVal.ToString();
        }

        DataRow Row;

        // Add to the DataTable
        if (cCnt == 1)
        {

            Row = DT.NewRow();
            Row[cCnt.ToString()] = cellVal;
            DT.Rows.Add(Row);
        }
        else
        {

            Row = DT.Rows[rCnt + 1];
            Row[cCnt.ToString()] = cellVal;

        }
    }
}

onCreateOptionsMenu inside Fragments

Your already have the autogenerated file res/menu/menu.xml defining action_settings.

In your MainActivity.java have the following methods:

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);
    return true;
}

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    int id = item.getItemId();
    switch (id) {
        case R.id.action_settings:
            // do stuff, like showing settings fragment
            return true;
    }

    return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item); // important line
}

In the onCreateView() method of your Fragment call:

setHasOptionsMenu(true);

and also add these 2 methods:

@Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
    inflater.inflate(R.menu.fragment_menu, menu);
}

@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
    int id = item.getItemId();
    switch (id) {
        case R.id.action_1:
            // do stuff
            return true;

        case R.id.action_2:
            // do more stuff
            return true;
    }

    return false;
}

Finally, add the new file res/menu/fragment_menu.xml defining action_1 and action_2.

This way when your app displays the Fragment, its menu will contain 3 entries:

action_1 from res/menu/fragment_menu.xml
action_2 from res/menu/fragment_menu.xml
action_settings from res/menu/menu.xml

Python division

It has to do with the version of python that you use. Basically it adopts the C behavior: if you divide two integers, the results will be rounded down to an integer. Also keep in mind that Python does the operations from left to right, which plays a role when you typecast.

Example: Since this is a question that always pops in my head when I am doing arithmetic operations (should I convert to float and which number), an example from that aspect is presented:

>>> a = 1/2/3/4/5/4/3
>>> a
0

When we divide integers, not surprisingly it gets lower rounded.

>>> a = 1/2/3/4/5/4/float(3)
>>> a
0.0

If we typecast the last integer to float, we will still get zero, since by the time our number gets divided by the float has already become 0 because of the integer division.

>>> a = 1/2/3/float(4)/5/4/3
>>> a
0.0

Same scenario as above but shifting the float typecast a little closer to the left side.

>>> a = float(1)/2/3/4/5/4/3
>>> a
0.0006944444444444445

Finally, when we typecast the first integer to float, the result is the desired one, since beginning from the first division, i.e. the leftmost one, we use floats.

Extra 1: If you are trying to answer that to improve arithmetic evaluation, you should check this

Extra 2: Please be careful of the following scenario:

>>> a = float(1/2/3/4/5/4/3)
>>> a
0.0

How to get the index of a maximum element in a NumPy array along one axis

There is argmin() and argmax() provided by numpy that returns the index of the min and max of a numpy array respectively.

Say e.g for 1-D array you'll do something like this

_x000D_

import numpy as np

a = np.array([50,1,0,2])

print(a.argmax()) # returns 0
print(a.argmin()) # returns 2

_x000D_

And similarly for multi-dimensional array

_x000D_

import numpy as np

a = np.array([[0,2,3],[4,30,1]])

print(a.argmax()) # returns 4
print(a.argmin()) # returns 0

_x000D_

Note that these will only return the index of the first occurrence.

return date;

How to deal with the URISyntaxException

You need to encode the URI to replace illegal characters with legal encoded characters. If you first make a URL (so you don't have to do the parsing yourself) and then make a URI using the five-argument constructor, then the constructor will do the encoding for you.

import java.net.*;

public class Test {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    String myURL = "http://finance.yahoo.com/q/h?s=^IXIC";
    try {
      URL url = new URL(myURL);
      String nullFragment = null;
      URI uri = new URI(url.getProtocol(), url.getHost(), url.getPath(), url.getQuery(), nullFragment);
      System.out.println("URI " + uri.toString() + " is OK");
    } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
      System.out.println("URL " + myURL + " is a malformed URL");
    } catch (URISyntaxException e) {
      System.out.println("URI " + myURL + " is a malformed URL");
    }
  }
}

How do I correctly use "Not Equal" in MS Access?

In Access, you will probably find a Join is quicker unless your tables are very small:

SELECT DISTINCT Table1.Column1
FROM Table1 
LEFT JOIN Table2
ON Table1.Column1 = Table2.Column1  
WHERE Table2.Column1 Is Null

This will exclude from the list all records with a match in Table2.

How to get Month Name from Calendar?

This works for me:

String getMonthName(int monthNumber) {
    String[] months = new DateFormatSymbols().getMonths();
    int n = monthNumber-1;
    return (n >= 0 && n <= 11) ? months[n] : "wrong number";
}

To returns "September" with one line:

String month = getMonthName(9);

What is the difference between .NET Core and .NET Standard Class Library project types?

.NET Framework

Windows Forms, ASP.NET and WPF application must be developed using .NET Framework library.

.NET Standard

Xamarin, iOS and Mac OS X application must be developed using .NET Standard library

.NET Core

Universal Windows Platform (UWP) and Linux application must be developed using .NET Core library. The API is implemented in C++ and you can using the C++, VB.NET, C#, F# and JavaScript languages.NET

How to Kill A Session or Session ID (ASP.NET/C#)

Session.Abandon() this will destroy the data.

Note, this won't necessarily truly remove the session token from a user, and that same session token at a later point might get picked up and created as a new session with the same id because it's deemed to be fair game to be used.

How to pass password to scp?

Here is an example of how you do it with expect tool:

sub copyover {
    $scp = Expect->spawn("/usr/bin/scp ${srcpath}/$file $who:${destpath}/$file");
    $scp->expect(30,"ssword: ") || die "Never got password prompt from $dest:$!\n";
    print $scp 'password' . "\n";
    $scp->expect(30,"-re",'$\s') || die "Never got prompt from parent system:$!\n";
    $scp->soft_close();
    return;

How different is Scrum practice from Agile Practice?

Scrum comes under bigger umbrella called Agile. Kanban, eXtreme Programming (XP), Lean are said to come under Agile too.

My personal experience is: there is no separate word called "Agile Practice". Best practices exercised in SCRUM, XP may be cumulatively called as Agile Practice.

The following practices are visible in both XP and SCRUM, hence in Agile.

User Story as Client requirement
Pair Programming
Test Driven Development (TDD)
Team based estimation
Refactoring
Simple Design
Evolutionary Design
Retrospective
Daily Stand up meeting
Continuous Integration of code
Client Demo etc.

What does the "assert" keyword do?

Assert does throw an AssertionError if you run your app with assertions turned on.

int a = 42;
assert a >= 0 && d <= 10;

If you run this with, say: java -ea -jar peiska.jar

It shall throw an java.lang.AssertionError

How to delete items from a dictionary while iterating over it?

You can't modify a collection while iterating it. That way lies madness - most notably, if you were allowed to delete and deleted the current item, the iterator would have to move on (+1) and the next call to next would take you beyond that (+2), so you'd end up skipping one element (the one right behind the one you deleted). You have two options:

Copy all keys (or values, or both, depending on what you need), then iterate over those. You can use .keys() et al for this (in Python 3, pass the resulting iterator to list). Could be highly wasteful space-wise though.
Iterate over mydict as usual, saving the keys to delete in a seperate collection to_delete. When you're done iterating mydict, delete all items in to_delete from mydict. Saves some (depending on how many keys are deleted and how many stay) space over the first approach, but also requires a few more lines.

Reactjs: Unexpected token '<' Error

UPDATE: In React 0.12+, the JSX pragma is no longer necessary.

Make sure include the JSX pragma at the top of your files:

Get index of current item in a PowerShell loop

.NET has some handy utility methods for this sort of thing in System.Array:

PS> $a = 'a','b','c'
PS> [array]::IndexOf($a, 'b')
1
PS> [array]::IndexOf($a, 'c')
2

Good points on the above approach in the comments. Besides "just" finding an index of an item in an array, given the context of the problem, this is probably more suitable:

$letters = { 'A', 'B', 'C' }
$letters | % {$i=0} {"Value:$_ Index:$i"; $i++}

Foreach (%) can have a Begin sciptblock that executes once. We set an index variable there and then we can reference it in the process scripblock where it gets incremented before exiting the scriptblock.

How do I split a string in Rust?

Use split()

let mut split = "some string 123 ffd".split("123");

This gives an iterator, which you can loop over, or collect() into a vector.

for s in split {
    println!("{}", s)
}
let vec = split.collect::<Vec<&str>>();
// OR
let vec: Vec<&str> = split.collect();

Remove padding or margins from Google Charts

I am quite late but any user searching for this can get help from it. Inside the options you can pass a new parameter called chartArea.

        var options = {
        chartArea:{left:10,top:20,width:"100%",height:"100%"}
    };

Left and top options will define the amount of padding from left and top. Hope this will help.

Recursively looping through an object to build a property list

I made a FIDDLE for you. I am storing a stack string and then output it, if the property is of primitive type:

function iterate(obj, stack) {
        for (var property in obj) {
            if (obj.hasOwnProperty(property)) {
                if (typeof obj[property] == "object") {
                    iterate(obj[property], stack + '.' + property);
                } else {
                    console.log(property + "   " + obj[property]);
                    $('#output').append($("<div/>").text(stack + '.' + property))
                }
            }
        }
    }

iterate(object, '')

"Access is denied" JavaScript error when trying to access the document object of a programmatically-created <iframe> (IE-only)

if the document.domain property is set in the parent page, Internet Explorer gives me an "Access is denied"

Sigh. Yeah, it's an IE issue (bug? difficult to say as there is no documented standard for this kind of unpleasantness). When you create a srcless iframe it receives a document.domain from the parent document's location.host instead of its document.domain. At that point you've pretty much lost as you can't change it.

A horrendous workaround is to set src to a javascript: URL (urgh!):

 iframe.src= "javascript:'<html><body><p>Hello<\/p><script>do things;<\/script>'";

But for some reason, such a document is unable to set its own document.domain from script in IE (good old “unspecified error”), so you can't use that to regain a bridge between the parent(*). You could use it to write the whole document HTML, assuming the widget doesn't need to talk to its parent document once it's instantiated.

However iframe JavaScript URLs don't work in Safari, so you'd still need some kind of browser-sniffing to choose which method to use.

*: For some other reason, you can, in IE, set document.domain from a second document, document.written by the first document. So this works:

if (isIE)
    iframe.src= "javascript:'<script>window.onload=function(){document.write(\\'<script>document.domain=\\\""+document.domain+"\\\";<\\\\/script>\\');document.close();};<\/script>'";

At this point the hideousness level is too high for me, I'm out. I'd do the external HTML like David said.

substring index range

For substring(startIndex, endIndex), startIndex is inclusive and endIndex are exclusive. The startIndex and endIndex are very confusing. I would understand substring(startIndex, length) to remember that.

Disabling of EditText in Android

Today I still use editable="false", but also with focusable="false".

I think the case we need to make an EditText un-editable, is because we want to keep its EditText style (with that underline, with hint, etc), but it accepts other inputs instead of text. For example a dropdown list.

In such use case, we need to have the EditText clickable (thus enabled="false" is not suitable). Setting focusable="false" do this trick, however, I can still long hold on the EditText and paste my own text onto it from clipboard. Depending on your code and handling this can even crash your app.

So I also used editable="false" and now everything is great, except the warning.

How to delete directory content in Java?

This function will directory delete the folder and all files in it.

How to get the screen width and height in iOS?

If you want screen width/height regardless of device orientation (good for sizing portrait only view controllers being launched from landscape orientations):

CGFloat screenWidthInPoints = [UIScreen mainScreen].nativeBounds.size.width/[UIScreen mainScreen].nativeScale;
CGFloat screenHeightInPoints = [UIScreen mainScreen].nativeBounds.size.height/[UIScreen mainScreen].nativeScale;

[UIScreen mainScreen].nativeBounds <-- From the docs --> The bounding rectangle of the physical screen, measured in pixels. This rectangle is based on the device in a portrait-up orientation. This value does not change as the device rotates.

Passing enum or object through an intent (the best solution)

For passing an enum by intent, you can convert enum into integer.

Ex:

public enum Num{A ,B}

Sending(enum to integer):

Num send = Num.A;
intent.putExtra("TEST", send.ordinal());

Receiving(integer to enum):

Num rev;
int temp = intent.getIntExtra("TEST", -1);
if(temp >= 0 && temp < Num.values().length)
    rev = Num.values()[temp];

Best regards. :)

fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_system-vc110-mt-gd-1_51.lib'

In case you have trouble building boost or prefer not to do that, an alternative is to download the lib files from SourceForge. The link will take you to a folder of zipped lib and dll files for version 1.51. But, you should be able to edit the link to specify the version of choice. Apparently the installer from BoostPro has some issues.

Which port(s) does XMPP use?

The ports required will be different for your XMPP Server and any XMPP Clients. Most "modern" XMPP Servers follow the defined IANA Ports for Server-to-Server 5269 and for Client-to-Server 5222. Any additional ports depends on what features you enable on the Server, i.e. if you offer BOSH then you may need to open port 80.

File Transfer is highly dependent on both the Clients you use and the Server as to what port it will use, but most of them also negotiate the connect via your existing XMPP Client-to-Server link so the required port opening will be client side (or proxied via port 80.)

Does Android keep the .apk files? if so where?

Preinstalled applications are in /system/app folder. User installed applications are in /data/app. I guess you can't access unless you have a rooted phone. I don't have a rooted phone here but try this code out:

public class Testing extends Activity {
    private static final String TAG = "TEST";
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        File appsDir = new File("/data/app");

        String[] files = appsDir.list();

        for (int i = 0 ; i < files.length ; i++ ) {
            Log.d(TAG, "File: "+files[i]);

        }
    }

It does lists the apks in my rooted htc magic and in the emu.

Bash script processing limited number of commands in parallel

In fact, xargs can run commands in parallel for you. There is a special -P max_procs command-line option for that. See man xargs.

Jackson - How to process (deserialize) nested JSON?

@Patrick I would improve your solution a bit

@Override
public Object deserialize(JsonParser jp, DeserializationContext ctxt)
        throws IOException, JsonProcessingException {        
    ObjectNode objectNode = jp.readValueAsTree();
    JsonNode wrapped = objectNode.get(wrapperKey);
    JsonParser parser = node.traverse();
    parser.setCodec(jp.getCodec());
    Vendor mapped = parser.readValueAs(Vendor.class);
    return mapped;
}

It works faster :)

Run .jar from batch-file

Steps 1- Create/export a runnable jar file out of your project.

2- Create a .bat file with the below content

@Echo off

set classpath="c:\jars\lib\*****.jar;c:\jars\lib\*****.jar;c:\extJars\****.jar"

java -cp %classpath%;c:\apps\applName\yourJar.jar com.****.****.MainMethod args1 args2 ...

@pause

3- set classpath is required if any external jars you are using.

4- Put the .bat file and jar file in the same folder.

5- As per the java -cp command give your exact jar file location and the fully qualified name of the main method and followed by argument list as per requirement.

Is there a way to create key-value pairs in Bash script?

in older bash (or in sh) that does not support declare -A, following style can be used to emulate key/value

image_staging=gcr.io/abc/stage
image_production=gcr.io/abc/stable

img_var_name=image_$env

# active_image=${!var_name}
active_image=$(eval "echo \$$img_var_name")

echo $active_image

Disable and later enable all table indexes in Oracle

combining 3 answers together: (because a select statement does not execute the DDL)

set pagesize 0

alter session set skip_unusable_indexes = true;
spool c:\temp\disable_indexes.sql
select 'alter index ' || u.index_name || ' unusable;' from user_indexes u;
spool off
@c:\temp\disable_indexes.sql

Do import...

select 'alter index ' || u.index_name || 
' rebuild online;' from user_indexes u;

Note this assumes that the import is going to happen in the same (sqlplus) session.
If you are calling "imp" it will run in a separate session so you would need to use "ALTER SYSTEM" instead of "ALTER SESSION" (and remember to put the parameter back the way you found it.

Difference between RegisterStartupScript and RegisterClientScriptBlock?

Here's an old discussion thread where I listed the main differences and the conditions in which you should use each of these methods. I think you may find it useful to go through the discussion.

To explain the differences as relevant to your posted example:

a. When you use RegisterStartupScript, it will render your script after all the elements in the page (right before the form's end tag). This enables the script to call or reference page elements without the possibility of it not finding them in the Page's DOM.

Here is the rendered source of the page when you invoke the RegisterStartupScript method:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head id="Head1"><title></title></head>
<body>
    <form name="form1" method="post" action="StartupScript.aspx" id="form1">
        <div>
            <input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE" id="__VIEWSTATE" value="someViewstategibberish" />
        </div>
        <div> <span id="lblDisplayDate">Label</span>
            <br />
            <input type="submit" name="btnPostback" value="Register Startup Script" id="btnPostback" />
            <br />
            <input type="submit" name="btnPostBack2" value="Register" id="btnPostBack2" />
        </div>
        <div>
            <input type="hidden" name="__EVENTVALIDATION" id="__EVENTVALIDATION" value="someViewstategibberish" />
        </div>
        <!-- Note this part -->
        <script language='javascript'>
            var lbl = document.getElementById('lblDisplayDate');
            lbl.style.color = 'red';
        </script>
    </form>
    <!-- Note this part -->
</body>
</html>

b. When you use RegisterClientScriptBlock, the script is rendered right after the Viewstate tag, but before any of the page elements. Since this is a direct script (not a function that can be called, it will immediately be executed by the browser. But the browser does not find the label in the Page's DOM at this stage and hence you should receive an "Object not found" error.

Here is the rendered source of the page when you invoke the RegisterClientScriptBlock method:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head id="Head1"><title></title></head>
<body>
    <form name="form1" method="post" action="StartupScript.aspx" id="form1">
        <div>
            <input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE" id="__VIEWSTATE" value="someViewstategibberish" />
        </div>
        <script language='javascript'>
            var lbl = document.getElementById('lblDisplayDate');
            // Error is thrown in the next line because lbl is null.
            lbl.style.color = 'green';

Therefore, to summarize, you should call the latter method if you intend to render a function definition. You can then render the call to that function using the former method (or add a client side attribute).

Edit after comments:

For instance, the following function would work:

protected void btnPostBack2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) 
{ 
  System.Text.StringBuilder sb = new System.Text.StringBuilder(); 
  sb.Append("<script language='javascript'>function ChangeColor() {"); 
  sb.Append("var lbl = document.getElementById('lblDisplayDate');"); 
  sb.Append("lbl.style.color='green';"); 
  sb.Append("}</script>"); 

  //Render the function definition. 
  if (!ClientScript.IsClientScriptBlockRegistered("JSScriptBlock")) 
  {
    ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(this.GetType(), "JSScriptBlock", sb.ToString()); 
  }

  //Render the function invocation. 
  string funcCall = "<script language='javascript'>ChangeColor();</script>"; 

  if (!ClientScript.IsStartupScriptRegistered("JSScript"))
  { 
    ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "JSScript", funcCall); 
  } 
}

Determine device (iPhone, iPod Touch) with iOS

Adding to Arash's code, I don't care for my app what model I'm using, I just want to know what kind of device, so, I can test as follows:

    if (UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPad)
        {
            NSLog(@"I'm definitely an iPad");
    } else {
    NSString *deviceType = [UIDevice currentDevice].model;
                if([deviceType rangeOfString:@"iPhone"].location!=NSNotFound)
                {
                    NSLog(@"I must be an iPhone");

                } else {
                    NSLog(@"I think I'm an iPod");

                }
}

2D array values C++

Like this:

int main()
{
    int arr[2][5] =
    {
        {1,8,12,20,25},
        {5,9,13,24,26}
    };
}

This should be covered by your C++ textbook: which one are you using?

Anyway, better, consider using std::vector or some ready-made matrix class e.g. from Boost.

Docker how to change repository name or rename image?

docker image tag server:latest myname/server:latest

docker image tag d583c3ac45fd myname/server:latest

Tags are just human-readable aliases for the full image name (d583c3ac45fd...).

So you can have as many of them associated with the same image as you like. If you don't like the old name you can remove it after you've retagged it:

docker rmi server

That will just remove the alias/tag. Since d583c3ac45fd has other names, the actual image won't be deleted.

How do I build a Java project in Eclipse, to create an external JAR

psql: FATAL: Peer authentication failed for user "dev"

In my case I was using different port. Default is 5432. I was using 5433. This worked for me:

$ psql -f update_table.sql -d db_name -U db_user_name -h 127.0.0.1 -p 5433

The import com.google.android.gms cannot be resolved

Another way is to let Eclipse do the import work for you. Hover your mouse over the com.google.android.gms import that can not be resolved and towards the bottom of the popup menu, select the Fix project setup... option as below. Then it'll prompt to import the google play services library. Select that and you should be good to go.

JSFIDDLE DEMO

Source file 'Properties\AssemblyInfo.cs' could not be found

This rings a bell. I came across a similar problem in the past,

if you expand Properties folder of the project can you see 'AssemblyInfo.cs' if not that is where the problem is. An assembly info file consists of all of the build options for the project, including version, company name, GUID, compilers options....etc

You can generate an assemblyInfo.cs by right clicking the project and chosing properties. In the application tab fill in the details and press save, this will generate the assemblyInfo.cs file for you. If you build your project after that, it should work.

Cheers, Tarun

Update 2016-07-08:

For Visual Studio 2010 through the most recent version (2015 at time of writing), LandedGently's comment still applies:

After you select project Properties and the Application tab as @Tarun mentioned, there is a button "Assembly Information..." which opens another dialog. You need to at least fill in the Title here. VS will add the GUID and versions, but if the title is empty, it will not create the AssemblyInfo.cs file.

C# Connecting Through Proxy

This is easily achieved either programmatically, in your code, or declaratively in either the web.config or the app.config.

You can programmatically create a proxy like so:

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("[ultimate destination of your request]");
WebProxy myproxy = new WebProxy("[your proxy address]", [your proxy port number]);
myproxy.BypassProxyOnLocal = false;
request.Proxy = myproxy;
request.Method = "GET";
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse) request.GetResponse();

You're basically assigning the WebProxy object to the request object's proxy property. This request will then use the proxy you define.

To achieve the same thing declaratively, you can do the following:

<system.net>
  <defaultProxy>
    <proxy
      proxyaddress="http://[your proxy address and port number]"
      bypassonlocal="false"
    />
  </defaultProxy>
</system.net>

within your web.config or app.config. This sets a default proxy that all http requests will use. Depending upon exactly what you need to achieve, you may or may not require some of the additional attributes of the defaultProxy / proxy element, so please refer to the documentation for those.

jQuery .slideRight effect

Another solution is by using .animate() and appropriate CSS.

How to set a default value with Html.TextBoxFor?

Using @Value is a hack, because it outputs two attributes, e.g.:

Difference between onCreate() and onStart()?

onCreate() method gets called when activity gets created, and its called only once in whole Activity life cycle. where as onStart() is called when activity is stopped... I mean it has gone to background and its onStop() method is called by the os. onStart() may be called multiple times in Activity life cycle.More details here

Visual Studio Code Automatic Imports

I've come across this problem on Typescript Version 3.8.3.

Intellisense is the best thing we could have but for me, the auto-import feature doesn't seem to work either. I've tried installing an extension even though auto-import didn't work. I've rechecked all the settings related to extensions. Finally, the auto-import feature started working when I clear the cache, from

C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Code\Cache

& reload the VSCode

Note: AppData can only be visible in username if you select, Show (Hidden Items) from (View) Menu.

In some cases, we may end up thinking there is an import related error, while in actuality, unknowingly we might be coding using deprecated features or APIs in angular.

For example: if you're trying to code something like this

constructor (http: Http) {

//...}

Where Http is already deprecated and replaced with HttpClient in the newer version, so we may end up thinking an error related to this might be related to the auto-import error. For more information, you can refer Deprecated APIs and Features

Calculating a 2D Vector's Cross Product

In short: It's a shorthand notation for a mathematical hack.

Long explanation:

You can't do a cross product with vectors in 2D space. The operation is not defined there.

However, often it is interesting to evaluate the cross product of two vectors assuming that the 2D vectors are extended to 3D by setting their z-coordinate to zero. This is the same as working with 3D vectors on the xy-plane.

If you extend the vectors that way and calculate the cross product of such an extended vector pair you'll notice that only the z-component has a meaningful value: x and y will always be zero.

That's the reason why the z-component of the result is often simply returned as a scalar. This scalar can for example be used to find the winding of three points in 2D space.

From a pure mathematical point of view the cross product in 2D space does not exist, the scalar version is the hack and a 2D cross product that returns a 2D vector makes no sense at all.

How to create a new column in a select query

It depends what you wanted to do with that column e.g. here's an example of appending a new column to a recordset which can be updated on the client side:

Sub MSDataShape_AddNewCol()

  Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
  Set rs = CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
  With rs
    .ActiveConnection = _
    "Provider=MSDataShape;" & _
    "Data Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
    "Data Source=C:\Tempo\New_Jet_DB.mdb"
    .Source = _
    "SHAPE {" & _
    " SELECT ExistingField" & _
    " FROM ExistingTable" & _
    " ORDER BY ExistingField" & _
    "} APPEND NEW adNumeric(5, 4) AS NewField"

    .LockType = adLockBatchOptimistic

    .Open

    Dim i As Long
    For i = 0 To .RecordCount - 1
      .Fields("NewField").Value = Round(.Fields("ExistingField").Value, 4)
      .MoveNext
    Next

    rs.Save "C:\rs.xml", adPersistXML

  End With
End Sub

Sorting a DropDownList? - C#, ASP.NET

If you get a DataTable with the data, you can create a DataView off of this and then bind the drop down list to that. Your code would look something like...

DataView dvOptions = new DataView(DataTableWithOptions);
dvOptions.Sort = "Description";

ddlOptions.DataSource = dvOptions;
ddlOptions.DataTextField = "Description";
ddlOptions.DataValueField = "Id";
ddlOptions.DataBind();

Your text field and value field options are mapped to the appropriate columnns in the data table you are receiving.

Setting value of active workbook in Excel VBA

You're probably after Set wbOOR = ThisWorkbook

Can I run multiple programs in a Docker container?

I strongly disagree with some previous solutions that recommended to run both services in the same container. It's clearly stated in the documentation that it's not a recommended:

It is generally recommended that you separate areas of concern by using one service per container. That service may fork into multiple processes (for example, Apache web server starts multiple worker processes). It’s ok to have multiple processes, but to get the most benefit out of Docker, avoid one container being responsible for multiple aspects of your overall application. You can connect multiple containers using user-defined networks and shared volumes.

There are good use cases for supervisord or similar programs but running a web application + database is not part of them.

You should definitely use docker-compose to do that and orchestrate multiple containers with different responsibilities.

How do I activate C++ 11 in CMake?

CMake 3.1 introduced the CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD variable that you can use. If you know that you will always have CMake 3.1 or later available, you can just write this in your top-level CMakeLists.txt file, or put it right before any new target is defined:

set (CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 11)

If you need to support older versions of CMake, here is a macro I came up with that you can use:

macro(use_cxx11)
  if (CMAKE_VERSION VERSION_LESS "3.1")
    if (CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_ID STREQUAL "GNU")
      set (CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -std=gnu++11")
    endif ()
  else ()
    set (CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 11)
  endif ()
endmacro(use_cxx11)

The macro only supports GCC right now, but it should be straight-forward to expand it to other compilers.

Then you could write use_cxx11() at the top of any CMakeLists.txt file that defines a target that uses C++11.

CMake issue #15943 for clang users targeting macOS

If you are using CMake and clang to target macOS there is a bug that can cause the CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD feature to simply not work (not add any compiler flags). Make sure that you do one of the following things:

Use cmake_minimum_required to require CMake 3.0 or later, or

Set policy CMP0025 to NEW with the following code at the top of your CMakeLists.txt file before the project command:

  # Fix behavior of CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD when targeting macOS.
  if (POLICY CMP0025)
    cmake_policy(SET CMP0025 NEW)
  endif ()

WCF change endpoint address at runtime

So your endpoint address defined in your first example is incomplete. You must also define endpoint identity as shown in client configuration. In code you can try this:

EndpointIdentity spn = EndpointIdentity.CreateSpnIdentity("host/mikev-ws");
var address = new EndpointAddress("http://id.web/Services/EchoService.svc", spn);   
var client = new EchoServiceClient(address); 
litResponse.Text = client.SendEcho("Hello World"); 
client.Close();

Actual working final version by valamas

EndpointIdentity spn = EndpointIdentity.CreateSpnIdentity("host/mikev-ws");
Uri uri = new Uri("http://id.web/Services/EchoService.svc");
var address = new EndpointAddress(uri, spn);
var client = new EchoServiceClient("WSHttpBinding_IEchoService", address);
client.SendEcho("Hello World");
client.Close();

How to perform .Max() on a property of all objects in a collection and return the object with maximum value

Doing an ordering and then selecting the first item is wasting a lot of time ordering the items after the first one. You don't care about the order of those.

Instead you can use the aggregate function to select the best item based on what you're looking for.

var maxHeight = dimensions
    .Aggregate((agg, next) => 
        next.Height > agg.Height ? next : agg);

var maxHeightAndWidth = dimensions
    .Aggregate((agg, next) => 
        next.Height >= agg.Height && next.Width >= agg.Width ? next: agg);

How to change the display name for LabelFor in razor in mvc3?

This was an old question, but existing answers ignore the serious issue of throwing away any custom attributes when you regenerate the model. I am adding a more detailed answer to cover the current options available.

You have 3 options:

Add a [DisplayName("Name goes here")] attribute to the data model class. The downside is that this is thrown away whenever you regenerate the data models.
Add a string parameter to your Html.LabelFor. e.g. @Html.LabelFor(model => model.SomekingStatus, "My New Label", new { @class = "control-label"}) Reference: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.mvc.html.labelextensions.labelfor(v=vs.118).aspx The downside to this is that you must repeat the label in every view.
Third option. Use a meta-data class attached to the data class (details follow).

Option 3 - Add a Meta-Data Class:

Microsoft allows for decorating properties on an Entity Framework class, without modifying the existing class! This by having meta-data classes that attach to your database classes (effectively a sideways extension of your EF class). This allow attributes to be added to the associated class and not to the class itself so the changes are not lost when you regenerate the data models.

For example, if your data class is MyModel with a SomekingStatus property, you could do it like this:

First declare a partial class of the same name (and using the same namespace), which allows you to add a class attribute without being overridden:

[MetadataType(typeof(MyModelMetaData))]
public partial class MyModel
{
}

All generated data model classes are partial classes, which allow you to add extra properties and methods by simply creating more classes of the same name (this is very handy and I often use it e.g. to provide formatted string versions of other field types in the model).

Step 2: add a metatadata class referenced by your new partial class:

public class MyModelMetaData
{
    // Apply DisplayNameAttribute (or any other attributes)
    [DisplayName("My New Label")]
    public string SomekingStatus;
}

Reference: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.componentmodel.dataannotations.metadatatypeattribute(v=vs.110).aspx

Notes:

From memory, if you start using a metadata class, it may ignore existing attributes on the actual class ([required] etc) so you may need to duplicate those in the Meta-data class.
This does not operate by magic and will not just work with any classes. The code that looks for UI decoration attributes is designed to look for a meta-data class first.

How can I disable selected attribute from select2() dropdown Jquery?

As the question seems unclear, I'm sorry if this answer is not directly related to the original intent.

For those using Select2 version 4+ and according to official plugin documentation, .select2("enable")is not the way to go anymore for disabling the select box (not a single option of it). It will even be completely removed from version 4.1 onward.

Quoted directy from the documentation (see https://select2.org/upgrading/migrating-from-35#select2-enable):

Select2 will respect the disabled property of the underlying select element. In order to enable or disable Select2, you should call .prop('disabled', true/false) on the element. Support for the old methods will be completely removed in Select2 4.1.

So in the previous answer's example, it should be: $('select').prop(disabled,true);

When to use async false and async true in ajax function in jquery

It's not relative to performance...

You set async to false, when you need that ajax request to be completed before the browser passes to other codes:

<script>
    // ...
    $.ajax(... async: false ...); // Hey browser! first complete this request, 
                                  // then go for other codes

    $.ajax(...); // Executed after the completion of the previous async:false request.
</script>

Entity Framework: "Store update, insert, or delete statement affected an unexpected number of rows (0)."

I ran into this and it was caused by the entity's ID (key) field not being set. Thus when the context went to save the data, it could not find an ID = 0. Be sure to place a break point in your update statement and verify that the entity's ID has been set.

<div class="table-cell">
    <span id="clearRow{id}">
        <a href="javascript:" style-"color:#c32029; align:right; font-size:8pt;">Clear</a>

    $("someIDOrWildcardSelector" + idNum).val("");
    $("someIDOrWildcardSelector" + idNum).val("");
    $("someIDOrWildcardSelector" + idNum).val("");
});

//JQuery to remove / delete an html row

Moving up one directory in Python

In Python 3.4 pathlib was introduced:

>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> p = Path('/etc/usr/lib')
>>> p
PosixPath('/etc/usr/lib')
>>> p.parent

It also comes with many other helpful features e.g. for joining paths using slashes or easily walking the directory tree.
