Programs & Examples On #Jasypt

Jasypt is a Java-based encryption library, designed for ease of use with minimum necessary knowledge of how cryptography works.

Why am I getting Unknown error in line 1 of pom.xml?

For me I changed in the parent tag of the pom.xml and it solved it change 2.1.5 to 2.1.4 then Maven-> Update Project

Securing a password in a properties file

enter image description here

Jasypt provides the org.jasypt.properties.EncryptableProperties class for loading, managing and transparently decrypting encrypted values in .properties files, allowing the mix of both encrypted and not-encrypted values in the same file.

http://www.jasypt.org/encrypting-configuration.html

By using an org.jasypt.properties.EncryptableProperties object, an application would be able to correctly read and use a .properties file like this:

datasource.driver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver 
datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/reportsdb 
datasource.username=reportsUser 
datasource.password=ENC(G6N718UuyPE5bHyWKyuLQSm02auQPUtm) 

Note that the database password is encrypted (in fact, any other property could also be encrypted, be it related with database configuration or not).

How do we read this value? like this:

/*
* First, create (or ask some other component for) the adequate encryptor for   
* decrypting the values in our .properties file.   
*/  
StandardPBEStringEncryptor encryptor = new StandardPBEStringEncryptor();     
encryptor.setPassword("jasypt"); // could be got from web, env variable...    
/*   
* Create our EncryptableProperties object and load it the usual way.   
*/  
Properties props = new EncryptableProperties(encryptor);  
props.load(new FileInputStream("/path/to/my/configuration.properties"));

/*   
* To get a non-encrypted value, we just get it with getProperty...   
*/  
String datasourceUsername = props.getProperty("datasource.username");

/*   
* ...and to get an encrypted value, we do exactly the same. Decryption will   
* be transparently performed behind the scenes.   
*/ 
String datasourcePassword = props.getProperty("datasource.password");

 // From now on, datasourcePassword equals "reports_passwd"...

Maven2: Missing artifact but jars are in place

I encountered similar issue. The missing artifacts (jar files) exists in ~/.m2 directory and somehow eclipse is unable to find it.

For example: Missing artifact org.jdom:jdom:jar:1.1:compile

I looked through this directory ~/.m2/repository/org/jdom/jdom/1.1 and I noticed there is this file _maven.repositories. I opened it using text editor and saw the following entry:

#NOTE: This is an internal implementation file, its format can be changed without prior notice.
#Wed Feb 13 17:12:29 SGT 2013
jdom-1.1.jar>central=
jdom-1.1.pom>central=

I simply removed the "central" word from the file:

#NOTE: This is an internal implementation file, its format can be changed without prior notice.
#Wed Feb 13 17:12:29 SGT 2013
jdom-1.1.jar>=
jdom-1.1.pom>=

and run Maven > Update Project from eclipse and it just worked :) Note that your file may contain other keyword instead of "central".

Fast and simple String encrypt/decrypt in JAVA

// ENCODE plainTextPassword String
byte[] cleartext = plainTextPassword.getBytes("UTF8");      

Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("DES"); // cipher is not thread safe
cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, key);
String encryptedPwd = base64encoder.encode(cipher.doFinal(cleartext));
// now you can store it 
......

// DECODE encryptedPwd String
byte[] encrypedPwdBytes = base64decoder.decodeBuffer(encryptedPwd);

Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("DES");// cipher is not thread safe
cipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, key);
byte[] plainTextPwdBytes = (cipher.doFinal(encrypedPwdBytes));

Execute a large SQL script (with GO commands)

For anyone still having the problem. You could use official Microsoft SMO

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/server-management-objects-smo/overview-smo?view=sql-server-2017

using (var connection = new SqlConnection(connectionString))
{
  var server = new Server(new ServerConnection(connection));
  server.ConnectionContext.ExecuteNonQuery(sql);
}

Why is json_encode adding backslashes?

I just came across this issue in some of my scripts too, and it seemed to be happening because I was applying json_encode to an array wrapped inside another array which was also json encoded. It's easy to do if you have multiple foreach loops in a script that creates the data. Always apply json_encode at the end.

Here is what was happening. If you do:

$data[] = json_encode(['test' => 'one', 'test' => '2']);
$data[] = json_encode(['test' => 'two', 'test' => 'four']);
echo json_encode($data);

The result is:

["{\"test\":\"2\"}","{\"test\":\"four\"}"]

So, what you actually need to do is:

$data[] = ['test' => 'one', 'test' => '2'];
$data[] = ['test' => 'two', 'test' => 'four'];
echo json_encode($data);

And this will return

[{"test":"2"},{"test":"four"}]

What is the string concatenation operator in Oracle?

DECLARE

 BEGIN
      a  := ' Abc '; 
      b  := ' def ';
      c  := a || b;
 DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(c);  
   END;

output:: Abc def

How to check if a specific key is present in a hash or not?

How do I commit only some files?

Suppose you made changes to multiple files, like:

  • File1
  • File2
  • File3
  • File4
  • File5

But you want to commit only changes of File1 and File3.

There are two ways for doing this:

1.Stage only these two files, using:

git add file1 file2

then, commit

git commit -m "your message"

then push,

git push

2.Direct commit

git commit file1 file3 -m "my message"

then push,

git push

Actually first method is useful in case if we are modifying files regularly and staging them --> Large Projects, generally Live projects.
But if we are modifying files and not staging them then we can do direct commit --> Small projects

what's the differences between r and rb in fopen

On most POSIX systems, it is ignored. But, check your system to be sure.

XNU

The mode string can also include the letter 'b' either as last character or as a character between the characters in any of the two-character strings described above. This is strictly for compatibility with ISO/IEC 9899:1990 ('ISO C90') and has no effect; the 'b' is ignored.

Linux

The mode string can also include the letter 'b' either as a last character or as a character between the characters in any of the two- character strings described above. This is strictly for compatibility with C89 and has no effect; the 'b' is ignored on all POSIX conforming systems, including Linux. (Other systems may treat text files and binary files differently, and adding the 'b' may be a good idea if you do I/O to a binary file and expect that your program may be ported to non-UNIX environments.)

Can I send a ctrl-C (SIGINT) to an application on Windows?

Edit:

For a GUI App, the "normal" way to handle this in Windows development would be to send a WM_CLOSE message to the process's main window.

For a console app, you need to use SetConsoleCtrlHandler to add a CTRL_C_EVENT.

If the application doesn't honor that, you could call TerminateProcess.

CSS flex, how to display one item on first line and two on the next line

The answer given by Nico O is correct. However this doesn't get the desired result on Internet Explorer 10 to 11 and Firefox.

For IE, I found that changing

.flex > div
{
   flex: 1 0 50%;
}

to

.flex > div
{
   flex: 1 0 45%;
}

seems to do the trick. Don't ask me why, I haven't gone any further into this but it might have something to do with how IE renders the border-box or something.

In the case of Firefox I solved it by adding

display: inline-block;

to the items.

How to check if all of the following items are in a list?

Not OP's case, but - for anyone who wants to assert intersection in dicts and ended up here due to poor googling (e.g. me) - you need to work with dict.items:

>>> a = {'key': 'value'}
>>> b = {'key': 'value', 'extra_key': 'extra_value'}
>>> all(item in a.items() for item in b.items())
True
>>> all(item in b.items() for item in a.items())
False

That's because dict.items returns tuples of key/value pairs, and much like any object in Python, they're interchangeably comparable

Running shell command and capturing the output

According to @senderle, if you use python3.6 like me:

def sh(cmd, input=""):
    rst = subprocess.run(cmd, shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, input=input.encode("utf-8"))
    assert rst.returncode == 0, rst.stderr.decode("utf-8")
    return rst.stdout.decode("utf-8")
sh("ls -a")

Will act exactly like you run the command in bash

New to MongoDB Can not run command mongo

After installing the MongoDB you should manually create a data folder.

By default MongoDB will store data in /data/db, 
but it won't automatically create that directory. To create it, do:

$ sudo mkdir -p /data/db/
$ sudo chown `id -u` /data/db

You can also tell MongoDB to use a different data directory,
with the --dbpath option.

For more detailed information go to MongoDB wiki page.

How to URL encode a string in Ruby

You can use Addressable::URI gem for that:

require 'addressable/uri'   
string = '\x12\x34\x56\x78\x9a\xbc\xde\xf1\x23\x45\x67\x89\xab\xcd\xef\x12\x34\x56\x78\x9a'
Addressable::URI.encode_component(string, Addressable::URI::CharacterClasses::QUERY)
# "%5Cx12%5Cx34%5Cx56%5Cx78%5Cx9a%5Cxbc%5Cxde%5Cxf1%5Cx23%5Cx45%5Cx67%5Cx89%5Cxab%5Cxcd%5Cxef%5Cx12%5Cx34%5Cx56%5Cx78%5Cx9a" 

It uses more modern format, than CGI.escape, for example, it properly encodes space as %20 and not as + sign, you can read more in "The application/x-www-form-urlencoded type" on Wikipedia.

2.1.2 :008 > CGI.escape('Hello, this is me')
 => "Hello%2C+this+is+me" 
2.1.2 :009 > Addressable::URI.encode_component('Hello, this is me', Addressable::URI::CharacterClasses::QUERY)
 => "Hello,%20this%20is%20me" 

Application_Start not firing?

If you are using the System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break(); workaround (which I think is just fine for temporary use) and it's "just not working" on your Windows 8 Machine. The reason is a bug in Visual Studio's "Just in time debugging".

The fix is as follows is to fix the key for the "Visual Studio Just-In-Time Debugger"

Open regedit and go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppID{E62A7A31-6025-408E-87F6-81AEB0DC9347} for the ‘AppIDFlags’ registry value, set the flag to 0x8

How do I fix an "Invalid license data. Reinstall is required." error in Visual C# 2010 Express?

I have faced this problem when installing the Visual studio 2010 - C# express using the local administrator account, then trying to register the application using another account that doesn't have Admin privileges, due to corporate polices this account can’t edit in the Registry by any means, so suddenly that’s how I figured out how to solve this issue I open VS 2010 as a local administrator then entered the registration key, and it is worked , I don’t understand how do that Microsoft itself didn’t mention this solution or even try hard to investigate or solve this issue

How do I set the default Java installation/runtime (Windows)?

Stacked by this issue and have resolved it in 2020, in Windows 10. I'm using Java 8 RE and 14.1 JDK and it worked well until Eclipse upgrade to version 2020-09. After that I can't run Eclipse because it needed to use Java 11 or newer and it found only 8 version. It was because of order of environment variables of "Path":

environment variables setting

I suppose C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Oracle\Java\javapath is path to link to installed JRE exe files (in my case Java 8) and the issue was resolved by move down this link after %JAVA_HOME%, what leads to Java 14.1/bin folder.

EV setting after edit

It seems that order of environment variables affects order of searched folders while executable file is requested. Thanks for your comment or better explanation.

How to access the last value in a vector?

If you're looking for something as nice as Python's x[-1] notation, I think you're out of luck. The standard idiom is

x[length(x)]  

but it's easy enough to write a function to do this:

last <- function(x) { return( x[length(x)] ) }

This missing feature in R annoys me too!

Select values from XML field in SQL Server 2008

This post was helpful to solve my problem which has a little different XML format... my XML contains a list of keys like the following example and I store the XML in the SourceKeys column in a table named DeleteBatch:

<k>1</k>
<k>2</k>
<k>3</k>

Create the table and populate it with some data:

CREATE TABLE dbo.DeleteBatch (
    ExecutionKey INT PRIMARY KEY,
    SourceKeys XML)

INSERT INTO dbo.DeleteBatch ( ExecutionKey, SourceKeys )
SELECT 1, 
    (CAST('<k>1</k><k>2</k><k>3</k>' AS XML))

INSERT INTO dbo.DeleteBatch ( ExecutionKey, SourceKeys )
SELECT 2, 
    (CAST('<k>100</k><k>101</k>' AS XML))

Here's my SQL to select the keys from the XML:

SELECT ExecutionKey, p.value('.', 'int') AS [Key]
FROM dbo.DeleteBatch
    CROSS APPLY SourceKeys.nodes('/k') t(p)

Here's the query results...

ExecutionKey    Key
1   1
1   2
1   3
2   100
2   101

The meaning of NoInitialContextException error

you need to put the following name/value pairs into a hash table and call this constructor:

public InitialContext(Hashtable<?,?> environment)

the exact values depend on your application server, this example is for jboss

jndi.java.naming.provider.url=jnp://localhost:1099/
jndi.java.naming.factory.url=org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces
jndi.java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory

Python Infinity - Any caveats?

So does C99.

The IEEE 754 floating point representation used by all modern processors has several special bit patterns reserved for positive infinity (sign=0, exp=~0, frac=0), negative infinity (sign=1, exp=~0, frac=0), and many NaN (Not a Number: exp=~0, frac?0).

All you need to worry about: some arithmetic may cause floating point exceptions/traps, but those aren't limited to only these "interesting" constants.

Java Best Practices to Prevent Cross Site Scripting

My preference is to encode all non-alphaumeric characters as HTML numeric character entities. Since almost, if not all attacks require non-alphuneric characters (like <, ", etc) this should eliminate a large chunk of dangerous output.

Format is &#N;, where N is the numeric value of the character (you can just cast the character to an int and concatenate with a string to get a decimal value). For example:

// java-ish pseudocode
StringBuffer safestrbuf = new StringBuffer(string.length()*4);
foreach(char c : string.split() ){  
  if( Character.isAlphaNumeric(c) ) safestrbuf.append(c);
  else safestrbuf.append(""+(int)symbol);

You will also need to be sure that you are encoding immediately before outputting to the browser, to avoid double-encoding, or encoding for HTML but sending to a different location.

What is the use of the @ symbol in PHP?

The @ symbol is the error control operator (aka the "silence" or "shut-up" operator). It makes PHP suppress any error messages (notice, warning, fatal, etc) generated by the associated expression. It works just like a unary operator, for example, it has a precedence and associativity. Below are some examples:

@echo 1 / 0;
// generates "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ECHO" since 
// echo is not an expression

echo @(1 / 0);
// suppressed "Warning: Division by zero"

@$i / 0;
// suppressed "Notice: Undefined variable: i"
// displayed "Warning: Division by zero"

@($i / 0);
// suppressed "Notice: Undefined variable: i"
// suppressed "Warning: Division by zero"

$c = @$_POST["a"] + @$_POST["b"];
// suppressed "Notice: Undefined index: a"
// suppressed "Notice: Undefined index: b"

$c = @foobar();
echo "Script was not terminated";
// suppressed "Fatal error: Call to undefined function foobar()"
// however, PHP did not "ignore" the error and terminated the
// script because the error was "fatal"

What exactly happens if you use a custom error handler instead of the standard PHP error handler:

If you have set a custom error handler function with set_error_handler() then it will still get called, but this custom error handler can (and should) call error_reporting() which will return 0 when the call that triggered the error was preceded by an @.

This is illustrated in the following code example:

function bad_error_handler($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline, $errcontext) {
    echo "[bad_error_handler]: $errstr";
    return true;
}
set_error_handler("bad_error_handler");
echo @(1 / 0);
// prints "[bad_error_handler]: Division by zero"

The error handler did not check if @ symbol was in effect. The manual suggests the following:

function better_error_handler($errno, $errstr, $errfile, $errline, $errcontext) {
    if(error_reporting() !== 0) {
        echo "[better_error_handler]: $errstr";
    }
    // take appropriate action
    return true;
}

Increase max execution time for php

PHP file (for example, my_lengthy_script.php)

ini_set('max_execution_time', 300); //300 seconds = 5 minutes

.htaccess file

<IfModule mod_php5.c>
php_value max_execution_time 300
</IfModule>

More configuration options

<IfModule mod_php5.c>
php_value post_max_size 5M
php_value upload_max_filesize 5M
php_value memory_limit 128M
php_value max_execution_time 300
php_value max_input_time 300
php_value session.gc_maxlifetime 1200
</IfModule>

If wordpress, set this in the config.php file,

define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '128M');

If drupal, sites/default/settings.php

ini_set('memory_limit', '128M');

If you are using other frameworks,

ini_set('memory_limit', '128M');

You can increase memory as gigabyte.

ini_set('memory_limit', '3G'); // 3 Gigabytes

259200 means:-

( 259200/(60x60 minutes) ) / 24 hours ===> 3 Days

How to use Comparator in Java to sort

Here's an example of a Comparator that will work for any zero arg method that returns a Comparable. Does something like this exist in a jdk or library?

import java.lang.reflect.Method;
import java.util.Comparator;

public class NamedMethodComparator implements Comparator<Object> {

    //
    // instance variables
    //

    private String methodName;

    private boolean isAsc;

    //
    // constructor
    //

    public NamedMethodComparator(String methodName, boolean isAsc) {
        this.methodName = methodName;
        this.isAsc = isAsc;
    }

    /**
     * Method to compare two objects using the method named in the constructor.

what is the use of "response.setContentType("text/html")" in servlet

response.setContentType("text/html");

Above code would be include in "HTTP response" to inform the browser about the format of the response, so that the browser can interpret it.

Printing a java map Map<String, Object> - How?

You may use Map.entrySet() method:

for (Map.Entry entry : objectSet.entrySet())
{
    System.out.println("key: " + entry.getKey() + "; value: " + entry.getValue());
}

A select query selecting a select statement

Not sure if Access supports it, but in most engines (including SQL Server) this is called a correlated subquery and works fine:

SELECT  TypesAndBread.Type, TypesAndBread.TBName,
        (
        SELECT  Count(Sandwiches.[SandwichID]) As SandwichCount
        FROM    Sandwiches
        WHERE   (Type = 'Sandwich Type' AND Sandwiches.Type = TypesAndBread.TBName)
                OR (Type = 'Bread' AND Sandwiches.Bread = TypesAndBread.TBName)
        ) As SandwichCount
FROM    TypesAndBread

This can be made more efficient by indexing Type and Bread and distributing the subqueries over the UNION:

SELECT  [Sandwiches Types].[Sandwich Type] As TBName, "Sandwich Type" As Type,
        (
        SELECT  COUNT(*) As SandwichCount
        FROM    Sandwiches
        WHERE   Sandwiches.Type = [Sandwiches Types].[Sandwich Type]
        )
FROM    [Sandwiches Types]
UNION ALL
SELECT  [Breads].[Bread] As TBName, "Bread" As Type,
        (
        SELECT  COUNT(*) As SandwichCount
        FROM    Sandwiches
        WHERE   Sandwiches.Bread = [Breads].[Bread]
        )
FROM    [Breads]

How do I find out which process is locking a file using .NET?

It is very complex to invoke Win32 from C#.

You should use the tool Handle.exe.

After that your C# code have to be the following:

string fileName = @"c:\aaa.doc";//Path to locked file

Process tool = new Process();
tool.StartInfo.FileName = "handle.exe";
tool.StartInfo.Arguments = fileName+" /accepteula";
tool.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
tool.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
tool.Start();           
tool.WaitForExit();
string outputTool = tool.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();

string matchPattern = @"(?<=\s+pid:\s+)\b(\d+)\b(?=\s+)";
foreach(Match match in Regex.Matches(outputTool, matchPattern))
{
    Process.GetProcessById(int.Parse(match.Value)).Kill();
}

Concatenate a list of pandas dataframes together

concat also works nicely with a list comprehension pulled using the "loc" command against an existing dataframe

df = pd.read_csv('./data.csv') # ie; Dataframe pulled from csv file with a "userID" column

review_ids = ['1','2','3'] # ie; ID values to grab from DataFrame

# Gets rows in df where IDs match in the userID column and combines them 

dfa = pd.concat([df.loc[df['userID'] == x] for x in review_ids])

How to find substring inside a string (or how to grep a variable)?

Using the "With Clause" SQL Server 2008

Just a poke, but here's another way to write FizzBuzz :) 100 rows is enough to show the WITH statement, I reckon.

;WITH t100 AS (
 SELECT n=number
 FROM master..spt_values
 WHERE type='P' and number between 1 and 100
)                
 SELECT
    ISNULL(NULLIF(
    CASE WHEN n % 3 = 0 THEN 'Fizz' Else '' END +
    CASE WHEN n % 5 = 0 THEN 'Buzz' Else '' END, ''), RIGHT(n,3))
 FROM t100

But the real power behind WITH (known as Common Table Expression http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190766.aspx "CTE") in SQL Server 2005 and above is the Recursion, as below where the table is built up through iterations adding to the virtual-table each time.

;WITH t100 AS (
 SELECT n=1
 union all
 SELECT n+1
 FROM t100
 WHERE n < 100
)                
 SELECT
    ISNULL(NULLIF(
    CASE WHEN n % 3 = 0 THEN 'Fizz' Else '' END +
    CASE WHEN n % 5 = 0 THEN 'Buzz' Else '' END, ''), RIGHT(n,3))
 FROM t100

To run a similar query in all database, you can use the undocumented sp_msforeachdb. It has been mentioned in another answer, but it is sp_msforeachdb, not sp_foreachdb.

Be careful when using it though, as some things are not what you expect. Consider this example

exec sp_msforeachdb 'select count(*) from sys.objects'

Instead of the counts of objects within each DB, you will get the SAME count reported, begin that of the current DB. To get around this, always "use" the database first. Note the square brackets to qualify multi-word database names.

exec sp_msforeachdb 'use [?]; select count(*) from sys.objects'

For your specific query about populating a tally table, you can use something like the below. Not sure about the DATE column, so this tally table has only the DBNAME and IMG_COUNT columns, but hope it helps you.

create table #tbl (dbname sysname, img_count int);

exec sp_msforeachdb '
use [?];
if object_id(''tbldoc'') is not null
insert #tbl
select ''?'', count(*) from tbldoc'

select * from #tbl

How do I check if a cookie exists?

function getcookie(name = '') {
    let cookies = document.cookie;
    let cookiestore = {};
    
    cookies = cookies.split(";");
    
    if (cookies[0] == "" && cookies[0][0] == undefined) {
        return undefined;
    }
    
    cookies.forEach(function(cookie) {
        cookie = cookie.split(/=(.+)/);
        if (cookie[0].substr(0, 1) == ' ') {
            cookie[0] = cookie[0].substr(1);
        }
        cookiestore[cookie[0]] = cookie[1];
    });
    
    return (name !== '' ? cookiestore[name] : cookiestore);
}

To get a object of cookies simply call getCookie()

To check if a cookie exists, do it like this:

if (!getcookie('myCookie')) {
    console.log('myCookie does not exist.');
} else {
    console.log('myCookie value is ' + getcookie('myCookie'));
}

Or just use a ternary operator.

List<Object> and List<?>

To answer your second question, yes, you can cast the List<?> as a List<Object> or a List<T> of any type, since the ? (Wildcard) parameter indicates that the list contains a homogenous collection of an any Object. However, there's no way to know at compile what the type is since it's part of the exported API only - meaning you can't see what's being inserted into the List<?>.

Here's how you would make the cast:

List<?> wildcardList = methodThatReturnsWildcardList();
// generates Unchecked cast compiler warning
List<Object> objectReference = (List<Object>)wildcardList;

In this case you can ignore the warning because in order for an object to be used in a generic class it must be a subtype of Object. Let's pretend that we're trying to cast this as a List<Integer> when it actually contains a collection of Strings.

// this code will compile safely
List<?> wildcardList = methodThatReturnsWildcardList();
List<Integer> integerReference = (List<Integer>)wildcardList;

// this line will throw an invalid cast exception for any type other than Integer
Integer myInteger = integerRefence.get(0);

Remember: generic types are erased at runtime. You won't know what the collection contains, but you can get an element and call .getClass() on it to determine its type.

Class objectClass = wildcardList.get(0).getClass();

Finding an element in an array in Java

Use a for loop. There's nothing built into array. Or switch to a java.util Collection class.

How do I compare two DateTime objects in PHP 5.2.8?

As of PHP 7.x, you can use the following:

$aDate = new \DateTime('@'.(time()));
$bDate = new \DateTime('@'.(time() - 3600));

$aDate <=> $bDate; // => 1, `$aDate` is newer than `$bDate`

Remote desktop connection protocol error 0x112f

If the server accessible with RPC (basically, if you can access a shared folder on it), you could free some memory and thus let the RDP service work properly. The following windows native commands can be used:

To get the list of memory consuming tasks:

tasklist /S <remote_server> /V /FI "MEMUSAGE gt 10000"

To kill a task by its name:

taskkill /S <remote_server> /IM <process_image_name> /F

To show the list of desktop sessions:

qwinsta.exe /SERVER:<remote_server>

To close an old abandoned desktop session:

logoff <session_id> /SERVER:<remote_server> 

After some memory is freed, the RDP should start working.

Redirect to specified URL on PHP script completion?

don't forget to put a 'die' after your call to make the redirect happen before the rest of the code on the page is run threw. a. if you have header functions further down the page they will override the ones further up the code.

b: im assuming you dont want the rest of the code on the page to be run and that why your putting this redirect in in the first place [maybe].

example:

<?php

// do something here

header("Location: http://example.com/thankyou.php");
die();

//code down here now wont get run

?>

How do I use a file grep comparison inside a bash if/else statement?

Note that, for PIPE being any command or sequence of commands, then:

if PIPE ; then
  # do one thing if PIPE returned with zero status ($?=0)
else 
  # do another thing if PIPE returned with non-zero status ($?!=0), e.g. error
fi 

For the record, [ expr ] is a shell builtin shorthand for test expr.

Since grep returns with status 0 in case of a match, and non-zero status in case of no matches, you can use:

if grep -lq '^MYSQL_ROLE=master' ; then 
  # do one thing 
else 
  # do another thing
fi 

Note the use of -l which only cares about the file having at least one match (so that grep returns as soon as it finds one match, without needlessly continuing to parse the input file.)

on some platforms [ expr ] is not a builtin, but an actual executable /bin/[ (whose last argument will be ]), which is why [ expr ] should contain blanks around the square brackets, and why it must be followed by one of the command list separators (;, &&, ||, |, &, newline)

Insert php variable in a href

You could try:

<a href="<?php echo $directory ?>">The link to the file</a>

Or for PHP 5.4+ (<?= is the PHP short echo tag):

<a href="<?= $directory ?>">The link to the file</a>

But your path is relative to the server, don't forget that.

Android Fastboot devices not returning device

Are you rebooting the device into the bootloader and entering fastboot USB on the bootloader menu?

Try

adb reboot bootloader

then look for on screen instructions to enter fastboot mode.

iPhone and WireShark

The easiest way of doing this will be to use wifi of course. You will need to determine if your wifi base acts as a hub or a switch. If it acts as a hub then just connect your windows pc to it and wireshark should be able to see all the traffic from the iPhone. If it is a switch then your easiest bet will be to buy a cheap hub and connect the wan side of your wifi base to the hub and then connect your windows pc running wireshark to the hub as well. At that point wireshark will be able to see all the traffic as it passes over the hub.

How can I inspect the file system of a failed `docker build`?

What I would do is comment out the Dockerfile below and including the offending line. Then you can run the container and run the docker commands by hand, and look at the logs in the usual way. E.g. if the Dockerfile is

RUN foo
RUN bar
RUN baz

and it's dying at bar I would do

RUN foo
# RUN bar
# RUN baz

Then

$ docker build -t foo .
$ docker run -it foo bash
container# bar
...grep logs...

Get current date/time in seconds

Math.round(+new Date / 1000) #Seconds without decimals since Linux epoch

Edit and Continue: "Changes are not allowed when..."

"Edit and Continue", when enabled, will only allow you to edit code when it is in break-mode: e.g. by having the execution paused by an exception or by hitting a breakpoint.

This implies you can't edit the code when the execution isn't paused! When it comes to debugging (ASP.NET) web projects, this is very unintuitive, as you would often want to make changes between requests. At this time, the code your (probably) debugging isn't running, but it isn't paused either!
To solve this, you can click "Break all" (or press Ctrl+Alt+Break). Alternatively, set a breakpoint somewhere (e.g. in your Page_Load event), then reload the page so the execution pauses when it hits the breakpoint, and now you can edit code. Even code in .cs files.

How can I parse JSON with C#?

        JavaScriptSerializer jsonSerializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
        dynamic j = jsonSerializer.Deserialize<dynamic>(json);
        string name = j["Name"].ToString();
        string url = j["Url"].ToString();

Command to find information about CPUs on a UNIX machine

There is no standard Unix command, AFAIK. I haven't used Sun OS, but on Linux, you can use this:

node.js + mysql connection pooling

You should avoid using pool.getConnection() if you can. If you call pool.getConnection(), you must call connection.release() when you are done using the connection. Otherwise, your application will get stuck waiting forever for connections to be returned to the pool once you hit the connection limit.

For simple queries, you can use pool.query(). This shorthand will automatically call connection.release() for you—even in error conditions.

function doSomething(cb) {
  pool.query('SELECT 2*2 "value"', (ex, rows) => {
    if (ex) {
      cb(ex);
    } else {
      cb(null, rows[0].value);
    }
  });
}

However, in some cases you must use pool.getConnection(). These cases include:

  • Making multiple queries within a transaction.
  • Sharing data objects such as temporary tables between subsequent queries.

If you must use pool.getConnection(), ensure you call connection.release() using a pattern similar to below:

function doSomething(cb) {
  pool.getConnection((ex, connection) => {
    if (ex) {
      cb(ex);
    } else {
      // Ensure that any call to cb releases the connection
      // by wrapping it.
      cb = (cb => {
        return function () {
          connection.release();
          cb.apply(this, arguments);
        };
      })(cb);
      connection.beginTransaction(ex => {
        if (ex) {
          cb(ex);
        } else {
          connection.query('INSERT INTO table1 ("value") VALUES (\'my value\');', ex => {
            if (ex) {
              cb(ex);
            } else {
              connection.query('INSERT INTO table2 ("value") VALUES (\'my other value\')', ex => {
                if (ex) {
                  cb(ex);
                } else {
                  connection.commit(ex => {
                    cb(ex);
                  });
                }
              });
            }
          });
        }
      });
    }
  });
}

I personally prefer to use Promises and the useAsync() pattern. This pattern combined with async/await makes it a lot harder to accidentally forget to release() the connection because it turns your lexical scoping into an automatic call to .release():

async function usePooledConnectionAsync(actionAsync) {
  const connection = await new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    pool.getConnection((ex, connection) => {
      if (ex) {
        reject(ex);
      } else {
        resolve(connection);
      }
    });
  });
  try {
    return await actionAsync(connection);
  } finally {
    connection.release();
  }
}

async function doSomethingElse() {
  // Usage example:
  const result = await usePooledConnectionAsync(async connection => {
    const rows = await new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
      connection.query('SELECT 2*4 "value"', (ex, rows) => {
        if (ex) {
          reject(ex);
        } else {
          resolve(rows);
        }
      });
    });
    return rows[0].value;
  });
  console.log(`result=${result}`);
}

How to delete a localStorage item when the browser window/tab is closed?

Select tableview row programmatically

UITableView's selectRowAtIndexPath:animated:scrollPosition: should do the trick.

Just pass UITableViewScrollPositionNone for scrollPosition and the user won't see any movement.


You should also be able to manually run the action:

[theTableView.delegate tableView:theTableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:indexPath]

after you selectRowAtIndexPath:animated:scrollPosition: so the highlight happens as well as any associated logic.

Check if an apt-get package is installed and then install it if it's not on Linux

This command is the most memorable:

dpkg --get-selections <package-name>

If it's installed it prints:

<package-name> install

Otherwise it prints

No packages found matching <package-name>.

This was tested on Ubuntu 12.04.1 (Precise Pangolin).

How to sort a HashMap in Java

HashMap doesnt maintain any order, so if you want any kind of ordering, you need to store that in something else, which is a map and can have some kind of ordering, like LinkedHashMap

below is a simple program, by which you can sort by key, value, ascending ,descending ..( if you modify the compactor, you can use any kind of ordering, on keys and values)

package com.edge.collection.map;

import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.Comparator;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.LinkedHashMap;
import java.util.LinkedList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.Map.Entry;

public class SortMapByKeyValue {
Map<String, Integer> map = new HashMap<String, Integer>();

public static void main(String[] args) {

    SortMapByKeyValue smkv = new SortMapByKeyValue();
    smkv.createMap();

    System.out.println("After sorting by key ascending order......");
    smkv.sortByKey(true);

    System.out.println("After sorting by key descindeng order......");
    smkv.sortByKey(false);

    System.out.println("After sorting by value ascending order......");
    smkv.sortByValue(true);

    System.out.println("After sorting by value  descindeng order......");
    smkv.sortByValue(false);

}

void createMap() {
    map.put("B", 55);
    map.put("A", 80);
    map.put("D", 20);
    map.put("C", 70);
    map.put("AC", 70);

            }
        }
    });

wp_nav_menu change sub-menu class name?

You can just use a Hook

add_filter( 'nav_menu_submenu_css_class', 'some_function', 10, 3 );
function some_function( $classes, $args, $depth ){
    foreach ( $classes as $key => $class ) {
    if ( $class == 'sub-menu' ) {
        $classes[ $key ] = 'my-sub-menu';
    }
}

return $classes;
}

where

$classes(array) - The CSS classes that are applied to the menu <ul> element.
$args(stdClass) - An object of wp_nav_menu() arguments.
$depth(int) - Depth of menu item. Used for padding.

For adding a RelativeLayout attribute whose value is true or false use 0 for false and RelativeLayout.TRUE for true:

RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = (RelativeLayout.LayoutParams) button.getLayoutParams()
params.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_RIGHT, RelativeLayout.TRUE)

It doesn't matter whether or not the attribute was already added, you still use addRule(verb, subject) to enable/disable it. However, post-API 17 you can use removeRule(verb) which is just a shortcut for addRule(verb, 0).

Passing on command line arguments to runnable JAR

You can pass program arguments on the command line and get them in your Java app like this:

public static void main(String[] args) {
  String pathToXml = args[0];
....
}

Alternatively you pass a system property by changing the command line to:

java -Dpath-to-xml=enwiki-20111007-pages-articles.xml -jar wiki2txt

and your main class to:

public static void main(String[] args) {
  String pathToXml = System.getProperty("path-to-xml");
....
}

Hide Show content-list with only CSS, no javascript used

Just wanted to illustrate, in the context of nested lists, the usefulness of the hidden checkbox <input> approach @jeffmcneill recommends — a context where each shown/hidden element should hold its state independently of focus and the show/hide state of other elements on the page.

Giving values with a common set of beginning characters to the id attributes of all the checkboxes used for the shown/hidden elements on the page lets you use an economical [id^=""] selector scheme for the stylesheet rules that toggle your clickable element’s appearance and the related shown/hidden element’s display state back and forth. Here, my ids are ‘expanded-1,’ ‘expanded-2,’ ‘expanded-3.’

Note that I’ve also used @Diepen’s :after selector idea in order to keep the <label> element free of content in the html.

Note also that the <input> <label> <div class="collapsible"> sequence matters, and the corresponding CSS with + selector instead of ~.

Notepad++ Setting for Disabling Auto-open Previous Files

I read the answers. Then I noticed for me that the check box was already unchecked, but it still always reloaded the files. This is the Settings->Preferences->MISC->"Remember current session for next launch" check box on version 6.3.2. The following got rid of the problem:

1. Check the check box.
2. Exit the program.
3. Start the program again.
4. Uncheck the checkbox.

How to redirect to a route in laravel 5 by using href tag if I'm not using blade or any template?

In addition to @chanafdo answer, you can use route name

when working with laravel blade

<a href="{{route('login')}}">login here</a> with parameter in route name

when go to url like URI: profile/{id} <a href="{{route('profile', ['id' => 1])}}">login here</a>

without blade

<a href="<?php echo route('login')?>">login here</a>

with parameter in route name

when go to url like URI: profile/{id} <a href="<?php echo route('profile', ['id' => 1])?>">login here</a>

As of laravel 5.2 you can use @php @endphp to create as <?php ?> in laravel blade. Using blade your personal opinion but I suggest to use it. Learn it. It has many wonderful features as template inheritance, Components & Slots,subviews etc...

Git copy changes from one branch to another

git checkout BranchB
git merge BranchA
git push origin BranchB

This is all if you intend to not merge your changes back to master. Generally it is a good practice to merge all your changes back to master, and create new branches off of that.

Also, after the merge command, you will have some conflicts, which you will have to edit manually and fix.

Make sure you are in the branch where you want to copy all the changes to. git merge will take the branch you specify and merge it with the branch you are currently in.

Installing OpenCV 2.4.3 in Visual C++ 2010 Express

1. Installing OpenCV 2.4.3

First, get OpenCV 2.4.3 from sourceforge.net. Its a self-extracting so just double click to start the installation. Install it in a directory, say C:\.

OpenCV self-extractor

Wait until all files get extracted. It will create a new directory C:\opencv which contains OpenCV header files, libraries, code samples, etc.

Now you need to add the directory C:\opencv\build\x86\vc10\bin to your system PATH. This directory contains OpenCV DLLs required for running your code.

Open Control PanelSystemAdvanced system settingsAdvanced Tab → Environment variables...

enter image description here

On the System Variables section, select Path (1), Edit (2), and type C:\opencv\build\x86\vc10\bin; (3), then click Ok.

On some computers, you may need to restart your computer for the system to recognize the environment path variables.

This will completes the OpenCV 2.4.3 installation on your computer.


2. Create a new project and set up Visual C++

Open Visual C++ and select FileNewProject...Visual C++Empty Project. Give a name for your project (e.g: cvtest) and set the project location (e.g: c:\projects).

New project dialog

Click Ok. Visual C++ will create an empty project.

VC++ empty project

Make sure that "Debug" is selected in the solution configuration combobox. Right-click cvtest and select PropertiesVC++ Directories.

Project property dialog

Select Include Directories to add a new entry and type C:\opencv\build\include.

Include directories dialog

Click Ok to close the dialog.

Back to the Property dialog, select Library Directories to add a new entry and type C:\opencv\build\x86\vc10\lib.

Library directories dialog

Click Ok to close the dialog.

Back to the property dialog, select LinkerInputAdditional Dependencies to add new entries. On the popup dialog, type the files below:

opencv_calib3d243d.lib
opencv_contrib243d.lib
opencv_core243d.lib
opencv_features2d243d.lib
opencv_flann243d.lib
opencv_gpu243d.lib
opencv_haartraining_engined.lib
opencv_highgui243d.lib
opencv_imgproc243d.lib
opencv_legacy243d.lib
opencv_ml243d.lib
opencv_nonfree243d.lib
opencv_objdetect243d.lib
opencv_photo243d.lib
opencv_stitching243d.lib
opencv_ts243d.lib
opencv_video243d.lib
opencv_videostab243d.lib

Note that the filenames end with "d" (for "debug"). Also note that if you have installed another version of OpenCV (say 2.4.9) these filenames will end with 249d instead of 243d (opencv_core249d.lib..etc).

enter image description here

Click Ok to close the dialog. Click Ok on the project properties dialog to save all settings.

NOTE:

These steps will configure Visual C++ for the "Debug" solution. For "Release" solution (optional), you need to repeat adding the OpenCV directories and in Additional Dependencies section, use:

opencv_core243.lib
opencv_imgproc243.lib
...

instead of:

opencv_core243d.lib
opencv_imgproc243d.lib
...

You've done setting up Visual C++, now is the time to write the real code. Right click your project and select AddNew Item...Visual C++C++ File.

Add new source file

Name your file (e.g: loadimg.cpp) and click Ok. Type the code below in the editor:

#include <opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp>
#include <iostream>

using namespace cv;
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    Mat im = imread("c:/full/path/to/lena.jpg");
    if (im.empty()) 
    {
        cout << "Cannot load image!" << endl;
        return -1;
    }
    imshow("Image", im);
    waitKey(0);
}

The code above will load c:\full\path\to\lena.jpg and display the image. You can use any image you like, just make sure the path to the image is correct.

Type F5 to compile the code, and it will display the image in a nice window.

First OpenCV program

And that is your first OpenCV program!


3. Where to go from here?

Now that your OpenCV environment is ready, what's next?

  1. Go to the samples dir → c:\opencv\samples\cpp.
  2. Read and compile some code.
  3. Write your own code.

How to break out of while loop in Python?

A couple of changes mean that only an R or r will roll. Any other character will quit

    print("Would you like to roll or quit?")
    ans = input("Roll...")
    if ans.lower() == 'r':
        R = np.random.randint(1, 8)
        print("You rolled a {}.".format(R))
        myScore = R + myScore
    else:
        print("Now I'll see if I can break your score...")
        break

Two Page Login with Spring Security 3.2.x

There should be three pages here:

  1. Initial login page with a form that asks for your username, but not your password.
  2. You didn't mention this one, but I'd check whether the client computer is recognized, and if not, then challenge the user with either a CAPTCHA or else a security question. Otherwise the phishing site can simply use the tendered username to query the real site for the security image, which defeats the purpose of having a security image. (A security question is probably better here since with a CAPTCHA the attacker could have humans sitting there answering the CAPTCHAs to get at the security images. Depends how paranoid you want to be.)
  3. A page after that that displays the security image and asks for the password.

I don't see this short, linear flow being sufficiently complex to warrant using Spring Web Flow.

I would just use straight Spring Web MVC for steps 1 and 2. I wouldn't use Spring Security for the initial login form, because Spring Security's login form expects a password and a login processing URL. Similarly, Spring Security doesn't provide special support for CAPTCHAs or security questions, so you can just use Spring Web MVC once again.

You can handle step 3 using Spring Security, since now you have a username and a password. The form login page should display the security image, and it should include the user-provided username as a hidden form field to make Spring Security happy when the user submits the login form. The only way to get to step 3 is to have a successful POST submission on step 1 (and 2 if applicable).

Pandas Split Dataframe into two Dataframes at a specific row

I generally use array split because it's easier simple syntax and scales better with more than 2 partitions.

import numpy as np
partitions = 2
dfs = np.array_split(df, partitions)

np.split(df, [100,200,300], axis=0] wants explicit index numbers which may or may not be desirable.

How do I convert dmesg timestamp to custom date format?

you will need to reference the "btime" in /proc/stat, which is the Unix epoch time when the system was latest booted. Then you could base on that system boot time and then add on the elapsed seconds given in dmesg to calculate timestamp for each events.

equivalent of rm and mv in windows .cmd

move and del ARE certainly the equivalents, but from a functionality standpoint they are woefully NOT equivalent. For example, you can't move both files AND folders (in a wildcard scenario) with the move command. And the same thing applies with del.

The preferred solution in my view is to use Win32 ports of the Linux tools, the best collection of which I have found being here.

mv and rm are in the CoreUtils package and they work wonderfully!

"Not allowed to load local resource: file:///C:....jpg" Java EE Tomcat

Many browsers have changed their security policies to no longer allow reading data directly from file shares or even local resources. You need to either place the files somewhere that your tomcat instance can serve them up and put a "regular" http url in the html you generate. This can be accomplished by either providing a servlet which reads and provides the file putting the file into a directory where tomcat will serve it up as "static" content.

Using Linq to group a list of objects into a new grouped list of list of objects

For type

public class KeyValue
{
    public string KeyCol { get; set; }
    public string ValueCol { get; set; }
}

collection

var wordList = new Model.DTO.KeyValue[] {
    new Model.DTO.KeyValue {KeyCol="key1", ValueCol="value1" },
    new Model.DTO.KeyValue {KeyCol="key2", ValueCol="value1" },
    new Model.DTO.KeyValue {KeyCol="key3", ValueCol="value2" },
    new Model.DTO.KeyValue {KeyCol="key4", ValueCol="value2" },
    new Model.DTO.KeyValue {KeyCol="key5", ValueCol="value3" },
    new Model.DTO.KeyValue {KeyCol="key6", ValueCol="value4" }
};

our linq query look like below

var query =from m in wordList group m.KeyCol by m.ValueCol into g
select new { Name = g.Key, KeyCols = g.ToList() };

or for array instead of list like below

var query =from m in wordList group m.KeyCol by m.ValueCol into g
select new { Name = g.Key, KeyCols = g.ToList().ToArray<string>() };

How to convert Double to int directly?

All other answer are correct, but remember that if you cast double to int you will loss decimal value.. so 2.9 double become 2 int.

You can use Math.round(double) function or simply do :

(int)(yourDoubleValue + 0.5d)

What does it mean when MySQL is in the state "Sending data"?

This is quite a misleading status. It should be called "reading and filtering data".

This means that MySQL has some data stored on the disk (or in memory) which is yet to be read and sent over. It may be the table itself, an index, a temporary table, a sorted output etc.

If you have a 1M records table (without an index) of which you need only one record, MySQL will still output the status as "sending data" while scanning the table, despite the fact it has not sent anything yet.

List Git aliases

The following works under Linux, MacOSX and Windows (with msysgit).

Use git la to show aliases in .gitconfig

Did I hear 'bash scripting'? ;)

About the 'not needed' part in a comment above, I basically created a man page like overview for my aliases. Why all the fuss? Isn't that complete overkill?

Read on...

I have set the commands like this in my .gitconfig, separated like TAB=TAB:

[alias]
        alias1            =            foo -x -y --z-option
        alias2            =            bar -y --z-option --set-something

and simply defined another alias to grep the TAB= part of the defined aliases. (All other options don't have tabs before and after the '=' in their definition, just spaces.)

Comments not appended to an alias also have a TAB===== appended, so they are shown after grepping.

For better viewing I am piping the grep output into less, like this:

basic version: (black/white)

  #.gitconfig
  [alias]
        # use 'git h <command>' for help, use 'git la' to list aliases  =====
        h     =     help #... <git-command-in-question>
        la    =     "!grep '\t=' ~/.gitconfig | less" 

The '\t=' part matches TAB=.

To have an even better overview of what aliases I have, and since I use the bash console, I colored the output with terminal colors:

  • all '=' are printed in red
  • all '#' are printed in green

advanced version: (colored)

       la      =       "!grep '\t=' ~/.gitconfig | sed -e 's/=/^[[0;31m=^[[0m/g' | sed -e 's/#.*/^[[0;32m&^[[0m/g' | less -R"

Basically the same as above, just sed usage is added to get the color codes into the output.

The -R flag of less is needed to get the colors shown in less.

(I recently found out, that long commands with a scrollbar under their window are not shown correctly on mobile devices: They text is cut off and the scrollbar is simply missing. That might be the case with the last code snippet here, keep that in mind when looking at code snippets here while on the go.)


Why get such magic to work?

I have a like half a mile of aliases, tailored to my needs.
Also some of them change over time, so after all the best idea to have an up-to-date list at hand is parsing the .gitconfig.

A ****short**** excerpt from my .gitconfig aliases:

    #  choose       =====
    a       =       add #...
    aa      =       add .
    ai      =       add -i
    #  unchoose     =====
    rm      =       rm -r #... unversion and delete
    rmc     =       rm -r --cached #... unversion, but leave in working copy
    #  do   =====
    c       =       commit -m #...
    fc      =       commit -am "fastcommit"
    ca      =       commit -am #...
    mc      =       commit # think 'message-commit'
    mca     =       commit -a
    cam     =       commit --amend -C HEAD # update last commit
    #  undo =====
    r       =       reset --hard HEAD
    rv      =       revert HEAD

In my linux or mac workstations also further aliases exist in the .bashrc's, sort of like:

#.bashrc
alias g="git"
alias gh="git h"
alias gla="git la"
function gc { git c "$*" } # this is handy, just type 'gc this is my commitmessage' at prompt

That way no need to type git help submodule, no need for git h submodule, just gh submodule is all that is needed to get the help. It is just some characters, but how often do you type them?

I use all of the following, of course only with shortcuts...

  • add
  • commit
  • commit --amend
  • reset --hard HEAD
  • push
  • fetch
  • rebase
  • checkout
  • branch
  • show-branch (in a lot of variations)
  • shortlog
  • reflog
  • diff (in variations)
  • log (in a lot of variations)
  • status
  • show
  • notes
  • ...

This was just from the top of my head.

I often have to use git without a gui, since a lot of the git commands are not implemented properly in any of the graphical frontends. But everytime I put them to use, it is mostly in the same manner.

On the 'not implemented' part mentioned in the last paragraph:
I have yet to find something that compares to this in a GUI:
sba = show-branch --color=always -a --more=10 --no-name - show all local and remote branches as well as the commits they have within them
ccm = "!git reset --soft HEAD~ && git commit" - change last commit message

From a point of view that is more simple:
How often do you type git add . or git commit -am "..."? Not counting even the rest...
Getting things to work like git aa or git ca "..." in windows,
or with bash aliases gaa/g aa or gca "..."/g ca "..." in linux and on mac's...

For my needs it seemed a smart thing to do, to tailor git commands like this...
... and for easier use I just helped myself for lesser used commands, so i dont have to consult the man pages everytime. Commands are predefined and looking them up is as easy as possible.

I mean, we are programmers after all? Getting things to work like we need them is our job.

Here is an additional screenshot, this works in Windows:

script working with cmd.exe

BONUS: If you are on linux or mac, colorized man pages can help you quite a bit:

How to write log to file

maybe this will help you (if the log file exists use it, if it does not exist create it):

package main

import (
    "flag"
    "log"
    "os"
)
//Se declara la variable Log. Esta será usada para registrar los eventos.
var (
    Log *log.Logger = Loggerx()
)

func Loggerx() *log.Logger {
    LOG_FILE_LOCATION := os.Getenv("LOG_FILE_LOCATION")
        //En el caso que la variable de entorno exista, el sistema usa la configuración del docker.
    if LOG_FILE_LOCATION == "" {
        LOG_FILE_LOCATION = "../logs/" + APP_NAME + ".log"
    } else {
        LOG_FILE_LOCATION = LOG_FILE_LOCATION + APP_NAME + ".log"
    }
    flag.Parse()
        //Si el archivo existe se rehusa, es decir, no elimina el archivo log y crea uno nuevo.
    if _, err := os.Stat(LOG_FILE_LOCATION); os.IsNotExist(err) {
        file, err1 := os.Create(LOG_FILE_LOCATION)
        if err1 != nil {
            panic(err1)
        }
                //si no existe,se crea uno nuevo.
        return log.New(file, "", log.Ldate|log.Ltime|log.Lshortfile)
    } else {
                //si existe se rehusa.
        file, err := os.OpenFile(LOG_FILE_LOCATION, os.O_CREATE|os.O_APPEND|os.O_WRONLY, 0666)
        if err != nil {
            panic(err)
        }
        return log.New(file, "", log.Ldate|log.Ltime|log.Lshortfile)
    }
}

Alternative to mysql_real_escape_string without connecting to DB

It is impossible to safely escape a string without a DB connection. mysql_real_escape_string() and prepared statements need a connection to the database so that they can escape the string using the appropriate character set - otherwise SQL injection attacks are still possible using multi-byte characters.

If you are only testing, then you may as well use mysql_escape_string(), it's not 100% guaranteed against SQL injection attacks, but it's impossible to build anything safer without a DB connection.

How to lock specific cells but allow filtering and sorting

There are a number of people with this difficulty. The prevailing answer is that you can't protect content from editing while allowing unhindered sorting. Your options are:

1) Allow editing and sorting :(

2) Apply protection and create buttons with code to sort using VBA. There are other posts explaining how to do this. I think there are two methods, either (1) get the code to unprotect the sheet, apply the sort, then re-protect the sheet, or (2) have the sheet protected using UserInterfaceOnly:=True.

3) Lorie's answer which does not allow users to select cells (https://stackoverflow.com/a/15390698/269953)

4) One solution that I haven't seen discussed is using VBA to provide some basic protection. For example, detect and revert changes using Worksheet_Change. It's far from an ideal solution however.

5) You could keep the sheet protected when the user is selecting the data and unprotected when the user has the header is selected. This leaves countless ways the users could mess up the data while also causing some usability issues, but at least reduces the odds of pesky co-workers thoughtlessly making unwanted changes.

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
    If (Target.row = HEADER_ROW) Then
        wsMainTable.Unprotect Password:=PROTECTION_PASSWORD
    Else
        wsMainTable.Protect Password:=PROTECTION_PASSWORD, UserInterfaceOnly:=True
    End If
End Sub

Calling a Sub and returning a value

Private Sub Main()
    Dim value = getValue()
    'do something with value
End Sub

Private Function getValue() As Integer
    Return 3
End Function

JSON find in JavaScript

Zapping - you can use this javascript lib; DefiantJS. There is no need to restructure JSON data into objects to ease searching. Instead, you can search the JSON structure with an XPath expression like this:

    var data = [
   {
      "id": "one",
      "pId": "foo1",
      "cId": "bar1"
   },
   {
      "id": "two",
      "pId": "foo2",
      "cId": "bar2"
   },
   {
      "id": "three",
      "pId": "foo3",
      "cId": "bar3"
   }
],
res = JSON.search( data, '//*[id="one"]' );

console.log( res[0].cId );
// 'bar1'

DefiantJS extends the global object JSON with a new method; "search" which returns array with the matches (empty array if none were found). You can try it out yourself by pasting your JSON data and testing different XPath queries here:

http://www.defiantjs.com/#xpath_evaluator

XPath is, as you know, a standardised query language.

Getting Error:JRE_HOME variable is not defined correctly when trying to run startup.bat of Apache-Tomcat

Got the solution and it's working fine. Set the environment variables as:

  • CATALINA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\apache-tomcat-7.0.59\apache-tomcat-7.0.59 (path where your Apache Tomcat is)
  • JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25; (path where your JDK is)
  • JRE_Home=C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_25; (path where your JRE is)
  • CLASSPATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%JRE_HOME%\bin;%CATALINA_HOME%\lib

MySQL 'create schema' and 'create database' - Is there any difference

So, there is no difference between MySQL "database" and MySQL "schema": these are two names for the same thing - a namespace for tables and other DB objects.

For people with Oracle background: MySQL "database" a.k.a. MySQL "schema" corresponds to Oracle schema. The difference between MySQL and Oracle CREATE SCHEMA commands is that in Oracle the CREATE SCHEMA command does not actually create a schema but rather populates it with tables and views. And Oracle's CREATE DATABASE command does a very different thing than its MySQL counterpart.

C/C++ include header file order

To add my own brick to the wall.

  1. Each header needs to be self-sufficient, which can only be tested if it's included first at least once
  2. One should not mistakenly modify the meaning of a third-party header by introducing symbols (macro, types, etc.)

So I usually go like this:

// myproject/src/example.cpp
#include "myproject/example.h"

#include <algorithm>
#include <set>
#include <vector>

#include <3rdparty/foo.h>
#include <3rdparty/bar.h>

#include "myproject/another.h"
#include "myproject/specific/bla.h"

#include "detail/impl.h"

Each group separated by a blank line from the next one:

  • Header corresponding to this cpp file first (sanity check)
  • System headers
  • Third-party headers, organized by dependency order
  • Project headers
  • Project private headers

Also note that, apart from system headers, each file is in a folder with the name of its namespace, just because it's easier to track them down this way.

What's the difference between Sender, From and Return-Path?

So, over SMTP when a message is submitted, the SMTP envelope (sender, recipients, etc.) is different from the actual data of the message.

The Sender header is used to identify in the message who submitted it. This is usually the same as the From header, which is who the message is from. However, it can differ in some cases where a mail agent is sending messages on behalf of someone else.

The Return-Path header is used to indicate to the recipient (or receiving MTA) where non-delivery receipts are to be sent.

For example, take a server that allows users to send mail from a web page. So, [email protected] types in a message and submits it. The server then sends the message to its recipient with From set to [email protected]. The actual SMTP submission uses different credentials, something like [email protected]. So, the sender header is set to [email protected], to indicate the From header doesn't indicate who actually submitted the message.

In this case, if the message cannot be sent, it's probably better for the agent to receive the non-delivery report, and so Return-Path would also be set to [email protected] so that any delivery reports go to it instead of the sender.

If you are doing just that, a form submission to send e-mail, then this is probably a direct parallel with how you'd set the headers.

Multiple Inheritance in C#

We all seem to be heading down the interface path with this, but the obvious other possibility, here, is to do what OOP is supposed to do, and build up your inheritance tree... (isn't this what class design is all about?)

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        human me = new human();
        me.legs = 2;
        me.lfType = "Human";
        me.name = "Paul";
        Console.WriteLine(me.name);
    }
}

public abstract class lifeform
{
    public string lfType { get; set; }
}

public abstract class mammal : lifeform 
{
    public int legs { get; set; }
}

public class human : mammal
{
    public string name { get; set; }
}

This structure provides reusable blocks of code and, surely, is how OOP code should be written?

If this particular approach doesn't quite fit the bill the we simply create new classes based on the required objects...

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        fish shark = new fish();
        shark.size = "large";
        shark.lfType = "Fish";
        shark.name = "Jaws";
        Console.WriteLine(shark.name);
        human me = new human();
        me.legs = 2;
        me.lfType = "Human";
        me.name = "Paul";
        Console.WriteLine(me.name);
    }
}

public abstract class lifeform
{
    public string lfType { get; set; }
}

public abstract class mammal : lifeform 
{
    public int legs { get; set; }
}

public class human : mammal
{
    public string name { get; set; }
}

public class aquatic : lifeform
{
    public string size { get; set; }
}

public class fish : aquatic
{
    public string name { get; set; }
}

Remove Item in Dictionary based on Value

In my case I use this

  var key=dict.FirstOrDefault(m => m.Value == s).Key;
            dict.Remove(key);

SQL select max(date) and corresponding value

Ah yes, that is how it is intended in SQL. You get the Max of every column seperately. It seems like you want to return values from the row with the max date, so you have to select the row with the max date. I prefer to do this with a subselect, as the queries keep compact easy to read.

SELECT TrainingID, CompletedDate, Notes
FROM HR_EmployeeTrainings ET 
WHERE (ET.AvantiRecID IS NULL OR ET.AvantiRecID = @avantiRecID) 
AND CompletedDate in 
   (Select Max(CompletedDate) from HR_EmployeeTrainings B
    where B.TrainingID = ET.TrainingID)

If you also want to match by AntiRecID you should include that in the subselect as well.

PHP: How to send HTTP response code?

I just found this question and thought it needs a more comprehensive answer:

As of PHP 5.4 there are three methods to accomplish this:

Assembling the response code on your own (PHP >= 4.0)

The header() function has a special use-case that detects a HTTP response line and lets you replace that with a custom one

header("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");

However, this requires special treatment for (Fast)CGI PHP:

$sapi_type = php_sapi_name();
if (substr($sapi_type, 0, 3) == 'cgi')
    header("Status: 404 Not Found");
else
    header("HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found");

Note: According to the HTTP RFC, the reason phrase can be any custom string (that conforms to the standard), but for the sake of client compatibility I do not recommend putting a random string there.

Note: php_sapi_name() requires PHP 4.0.1

3rd argument to header function (PHP >= 4.3)

There are obviously a few problems when using that first variant. The biggest of which I think is that it is partly parsed by PHP or the web server and poorly documented.

Since 4.3, the header function has a 3rd argument that lets you set the response code somewhat comfortably, but using it requires the first argument to be a non-empty string. Here are two options:

header(':', true, 404);
header('X-PHP-Response-Code: 404', true, 404);

I recommend the 2nd one. The first does work on all browsers I have tested, but some minor browsers or web crawlers may have a problem with a header line that only contains a colon. The header field name in the 2nd. variant is of course not standardized in any way and could be modified, I just chose a hopefully descriptive name.

http_response_code function (PHP >= 5.4)

The http_response_code() function was introduced in PHP 5.4, and it made things a lot easier.

http_response_code(404);

That's all.

Compatibility

Here is a function that I have cooked up when I needed compatibility below 5.4 but wanted the functionality of the "new" http_response_code function. I believe PHP 4.3 is more than enough backwards compatibility, but you never know...

// For 4.3.0 <= PHP <= 5.4.0
if (!function_exists('http_response_code'))
{
    function http_response_code($newcode = NULL)
    {
        static $code = 200;
        if($newcode !== NULL)
        {
            header('X-PHP-Response-Code: '.$newcode, true, $newcode);
            if(!headers_sent())
                $code = $newcode;
        }       
        return $code;
    }
}

define a List like List<int,string>?

You could use an immutable struct

public struct Data
{
    public Data(int intValue, string strValue)
    {
        IntegerData = intValue;
        StringData = strValue;
    }

    public int IntegerData { get; private set; }
    public string StringData { get; private set; }
}

var list = new List<Data>();

Or a KeyValuePair<int, string>

using Data = System.Collections.Generic.KeyValuePair<int, string>
...
var list = new List<Data>();
list.Add(new Data(12345, "56789"));

How can one run multiple versions of PHP 5.x on a development LAMP server?

I have several projects running on my box. If you have already installed more than one version, this bash script should help you easily switch. At the moment I have php5, php5.6, and php7.0 which I often swtich back and forth depending on the project I am working on. Here is my code.

Feel free to copy. Make sure you understand how the code works. This is for the webhostin. my local box my mods are stored at /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/

    #!/bin/bash
# This file is for switching php versions.  
# To run this file you must use bash, not sh

Non-static method requires a target

I've found this issue to be prevalent in Entity Framework when we instantiate an Entity manually rather than through DBContext which will resolve all the Navigation Properties. If there are Foreign Key references (Navigation Properties) between tables and you use those references in your lambda (e.g. ProductDetail.Products.ID) then that "Products" context remains null if you manually created the Entity.

What is Express.js?

This is over simplifying it, but Express.js is to Node.js what Ruby on Rails or Sinatra is to Ruby.

Express 3.x is a light-weight web application framework to help organize your web application into an MVC architecture on the server side. You can use a variety of choices for your templating language (like EJS, Jade, and Dust.js).

You can then use a database like MongoDB with Mongoose (for modeling) to provide a backend for your Node.js application. Express.js basically helps you manage everything, from routes, to handling requests and views.

Redis is a key/value store -- commonly used for sessions and caching in Node.js applications. You can do a lot more with it, but that's what I'm using it for. I use MongoDB for more complex relationships, like line-item <-> order <-> user relationships. There are modules (most notably connect-redis) that will work with Express.js. You will need to install the Redis database on your server.

Here is a link to the Express 3.x guide: https://expressjs.com/en/3x/api.html

Python find min max and average of a list (array)

Only a teacher would ask you to do something silly like this. You could provide an expected answer. Or a unique solution, while the rest of the class will be (yawn) the same...

from operator import lt, gt
def ultimate (l,op,c=1,u=0):
    try:
        if op(l[c],l[u]): 
            u = c
        c += 1
        return ultimate(l,op,c,u)
    except IndexError:
        return l[u]
def minimum (l):
    return ultimate(l,lt)
def maximum (l):
    return ultimate(l,gt)

The solution is simple. Use this to set yourself apart from obvious choices.

Select the top N values by group

You can write a function that splits the database by a factor, orders by another desired variable, extract the number of rows you want in each factor (category) and combine these into a database.

top<-function(x, num, c1,c2){
sorted<-x[with(x,order(x[,c1],x[,c2],decreasing=T)),]
splits<-split(sorted,sorted[,c1])
df<-lapply(splits,head,num)
do.call(rbind.data.frame,df)}

x is the dataframe;

num is the number of number of rows you would like to see;

c1 is the column number of the variable you would like to split by;

c2 is the column number of the variable you would like to rank by or handle ties.

Using the mtcars data, the function extracts the 3 heaviest cars (mtcars$wt is the 6th column) in each cylinder class (mtcars$cyl is the 2nd column)

 top(mtcars,3,2,6)
                         mpg cyl  disp  hp drat    wt  qsec vs am gear carb

 8.Cadillac Fleetwood  10.4   8 472.0 205 2.93 5.250 17.98  0  0    3    4

You can also easily get the lightest in a class by changing head in the lapply function to tail OR by removing the decreasing=T argument in the order function which will return it to its default, decreasing=F.

Business logic in MVC

Fist of all:
I believe that you are mixing up the MVC pattern and n-tier-based design principles.

Using an MVC approach does not mean that you shouldn't layer your application.
It might help if you see MVC more like an extension of the presentation layer.

If you put non-presentation code inside the MVC pattern you might very soon end up in a complicated design.
Therefore I would suggest that you put your business logic into a separate business layer.

Just have a look at this: Wikipedia article about multitier architecture

It says:

Today, MVC and similar model-view-presenter (MVP) are Separation of Concerns design patterns that apply exclusively to the presentation layer of a larger system.

Anyway ... when talking about an enterprise web application the calls from the UI to the business logic layer should be placed inside the (presentation) controller.

That is because the controller actually handles the calls to a specific resource, queries the data by making calls to the business logic and links the data (model) to the appropriate view.

Mud told you that the business rules go into the model.
That is also true, but he mixed up the (presentation) model (the 'M' in MVC) and the data layer model of a tier-based application design.
So it is valid to place your database related business rules in the model (data layer) of your application.
But you should not place them in the model of your MVC-structured presentation layer as this only applies to a specific UI.

This technique is independent of whether you use a domain driven design or a transaction script based approach.

Let me visualize that for you:


Presentation layer: Model - View - Controller


Business layer: Domain logic - Application logic


Data layer: Data repositories - Data access layer


The model that you see above means that you have an application that uses MVC, DDD and a database-independed data layer.
This is a common approach to design a larger enterprise web application.

But you can also shrink it down to use a simple non-DDD business layer (a business layer without domain logic) and a simple data layer that writes directly to a specific database.
You could even drop the whole data-layer and access the database directly from the business layer, though I do not recommend it.

Thats' the trick...I hope this helps...

[Note:] You should also be aware of the fact that nowadays there is more than just one "model" in an application. Commonly, each layer of an application has it's own model. The model of the presentation layer is view specific but often independent of the used controls. The business layer can also have a model, called the "domain-model". This is typically the case when you decide to take a domain-driven approach. This "domain-model" contains of data as well as business logic (the main logic of your program) and is usually independent of the presentation layer. The presentation layer usually calls the business layer on a certain "event" (button pressed etc.) to read data from or write data to the data layer. The data layer might also have it's own model, which is typically database related. It often contains a set of entity classes as well as data-access-objects (DAOs).

The question is: how does this fit into the MVC concept?

Answer -> It doesn't!
Well - it kinda does, but not completely.
This is because MVC is an approach that was developed in the late 1970's for the Smalltalk-80 programming language. At that time GUIs and personal computers were quite uncommon and the world wide web was not even invented! Most of today's programming languages and IDEs were developed in the 1990s. At that time computers and user interfaces were completely different from those in the 1970s.
You should keep that in mind when you talk about MVC.
Martin Fowler has written a very good article about MVC, MVP and today's GUIs.

Android: Access child views from a ListView

listview.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, final View view, int position, long id) {
        View v;
        int count = parent.getChildCount();
        v = parent.getChildAt(position);
        parent.requestChildFocus(v, view);
        v.setBackground(res.getDrawable(R.drawable.transparent_button));
        for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
            if (i != position) {
                v = parent.getChildAt(i);
                v.setBackground(res.getDrawable(R.drawable.not_clicked));
            }
        }
    }
});

Basically, create two Drawables - one that is transparent, and another that is the desired color. Request focus at the clicked position (int position as defined) and change the color of the said row. Then walk through the parent ListView, and change all other rows accordingly. This accounts for when a user clicks on the listview multiple times. This is done with a custom layout for each row in the ListView. (Very simple, just create a new layout file with a TextView - do not set focusable or clickable!).

No custom adapter required - use ArrayAdapter

UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte X in position Y: character maps to <undefined>

As an extension to @LennartRegebro's answer:

If you can't tell what encoding your file uses and the solution above does not work (it's not utf8) and you found yourself merely guessing - there are online tools that you could use to identify what encoding that is. They aren't perfect but usually work just fine. After you figure out the encoding you should be able to use solution above.

EDIT: (Copied from comment)

A quite popular text editor Sublime Text has a command to display encoding if it has been set...

  1. Go to View -> Show Console (or Ctrl+`)

enter image description here

  1. Type into field at the bottom view.encoding() and hope for the best (I was unable to get anything but Undefined but maybe you will have better luck...)

If you don't prefer LINQ, it is better to use foreach loop to avoid out of index.

int[] arr = new int[] { 1, 2, 3 };
int sum = 0;
foreach (var item in arr)
{
   sum += item;
}

Chart.js v2 - hiding grid lines

The code below removes remove grid lines from chart area only not the ones in x&y axis labels

Chart.defaults.scale.gridLines.drawOnChartArea = false;

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) error in server

It just means that the server cannot find your image.

Remember The image path must be relative to the CSS file location

Check the path and if the image file exist.

Extract the first (or last) n characters of a string

If you are coming from Microsoft Excel, the following functions will be similar to LEFT(), RIGHT(), and MID() functions.


# This counts from the left and then extract n characters

str_left <- function(string, n) {
  substr(string, 1, n)
}



# This counts from the right and then extract n characters

str_right <- function(string, n) {
  substr(string, nchar(string) - (n - 1), nchar(string))
}


# This extract characters from the middle

str_mid <- function(string, from = 2, to = 5){
  
  substr(string, from, to)
  }

Examples:

x <- "some text in a string"
str_left(x, 4)
[1] "some"

str_right(x, 6)
[1] "string"

str_mid(x, 6, 9)
[1] "text"

How can I find the length of a number?

You should go for the simplest one (stringLength), readability always beats speed. But if you care about speed here are some below.

Three different methods all with varying speed.

// 34ms
let weissteinLength = function(n) { 
    return (Math.log(Math.abs(n)+1) * 0.43429448190325176 | 0) + 1;
}

// 350ms
let stringLength = function(n) {
    return n.toString().length;
}

// 58ms
let mathLength = function(n) {
    return Math.ceil(Math.log(n + 1) / Math.LN10);
}

// Simple tests below if you care about performance.

let iterations = 1000000;
let maxSize = 10000;

// ------ Weisstein length.

console.log("Starting weissteinLength length.");
let startTime = Date.now();

for (let index = 0; index < iterations; index++) {
    weissteinLength(Math.random() * maxSize);
}

console.log("Ended weissteinLength length. Took : " + (Date.now() - startTime ) + "ms");


// ------- String length slowest.

console.log("Starting string length.");
startTime = Date.now();

for (let index = 0; index < iterations; index++) {
    stringLength(Math.random() * maxSize);
}

console.log("Ended string length. Took : " + (Date.now() - startTime ) + "ms");


// ------- Math length.

console.log("Starting math length.");
startTime = Date.now();

for (let index = 0; index < iterations; index++) {
    mathLength(Math.random() * maxSize);
}

How can I install a local gem?

Also, you can use gem install --local path_to_gem/filename.gem

This will skip the usual gem repository scan that happens when you leave off --local.

You can find other magic with gem install --help.

How to use XPath contains() here?

You are only looking at the first li child in the query you have instead of looking for any li child element that may contain the text, 'Model'. What you need is a query like the following:

//ul[@class='featureList' and ./li[contains(.,'Model')]]

This query will give you the elements that have a class of featureList with one or more li children that contain the text, 'Model'.

How to test if list element exists?

rlang::has_name() can do this too:

foo = list(a = 1, bb = NULL)
rlang::has_name(foo, "a")  # TRUE
rlang::has_name(foo, "b")  # FALSE. No partial matching
rlang::has_name(foo, "bb")  # TRUE. Handles NULL correctly
rlang::has_name(foo, "c")  # FALSE

As you can see, it inherently handles all the cases that @Tommy showed how to handle using base R and works for lists with unnamed items. I would still recommend exists("bb", where = foo) as proposed in another answer for readability, but has_name is an alternative if you have unnamed items.

Android Get Application's 'Home' Data Directory

You can try Context.getApplicationInfo().dataDir if you want the package's persistent data folder.

getFilesDir() returns a subroot of this.

COUNT DISTINCT with CONDITIONS

Code counts the unique/distinct combination of Tag & Entry ID when [Entry Id]>0

select count(distinct(concat(tag,entryId)))
from customers
where id>0

In the output it will display the count of unique values Hope this helps

Detecting which UIButton was pressed in a UITableView

I would use the tag property like you said, setting the tag like so:

[button setTag:indexPath.row];

then getting the tag inside of the buttonPressedAction like so:

((UIButton *)sender).tag

Or

UIButton *button = (UIButton *)sender; 
button.tag;

How to compile a Perl script to a Windows executable with Strawberry Perl?

There are three packagers, and two compilers:

free packager: PAR
commercial packagers: perl2exe, perlapp
compilers: B::C, B::CC

http://search.cpan.org/dist/B-C/perlcompile.pod

(Note: perlfaq3 is still wrong)

For strawberry you need perl-5.16 and B-C from git master (1.43), as B-C-1.42 does not support 5.16.

Android: How to rotate a bitmap on a center point

Edited: optimized code.

public static Bitmap RotateBitmap(Bitmap source, float angle)
{
      Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
      matrix.postRotate(angle);
      return Bitmap.createBitmap(source, 0, 0, source.getWidth(), source.getHeight(), matrix, true);
}

To get Bitmap from resources:

Bitmap source = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(this.getResources(), R.drawable.your_img);

How to get parameters from a URL string?

In Laravel, I'm use:

Calculate the center point of multiple latitude/longitude coordinate pairs

Here is the Android version based on @Yodacheese's C# answer using Google Maps api:

public static LatLng GetCentralGeoCoordinate(List<LatLng> geoCoordinates) {        
    if (geoCoordinates.size() == 1)
    {
        return geoCoordinates.get(0);
    }

    double x = 0;
    double y = 0;
    double z = 0;

    for(LatLng geoCoordinate : geoCoordinates)
    {
        double  latitude = geoCoordinate.latitude * Math.PI / 180;
        double longitude = geoCoordinate.longitude * Math.PI / 180;

        x += Math.cos(latitude) * Math.cos(longitude);
        y += Math.cos(latitude) * Math.sin(longitude);
        z += Math.sin(latitude);
    }

    int total = geoCoordinates.size();

    x = x / total;
    y = y / total;
    z = z / total;

    double centralLongitude = Math.atan2(y, x);
    double centralSquareRoot = Math.sqrt(x * x + y * y);
    double centralLatitude = Math.atan2(z, centralSquareRoot);

    return new LatLng(centralLatitude * 180 / Math.PI, centralLongitude * 180 / Math.PI);

}

Add Items to Columns in a WPF ListView

Solution With Less XAML and More C#

If you define the ListView in XAML:

<ListView x:Name="listView"/>

Then you can add columns and populate it in C#:

public Window()
{
    // Initialize
    this.InitializeComponent();

    // Add columns
    var gridView = new GridView();
    this.listView.View = gridView;
    gridView.Columns.Add(new GridViewColumn { 
        Header = "Id", DisplayMemberBinding = new Binding("Id") });
    gridView.Columns.Add(new GridViewColumn { 
        Header = "Name", DisplayMemberBinding = new Binding("Name") });

    // Populate list
    this.listView.Items.Add(new MyItem { Id = 1, Name = "David" });
}

See definition of MyItem below.

Solution With More XAML and less C#

However, it's easier to define the columns in XAML (inside the ListView definition):

<ListView x:Name="listView">
    <ListView.View>
        <GridView>
            <GridViewColumn Header="Id" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Id}"/>
            <GridViewColumn Header="Name" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Name}"/>
        </GridView>
    </ListView.View>
</ListView>

And then just populate the list in C#:

public Window()
{
    // Initialize
    this.InitializeComponent();

    // Populate list
    this.listView.Items.Add(new MyItem { Id = 1, Name = "David" });
}

See definition of MyItem below.

MyItem Definition

MyItem is defined like this:

public class MyItem
{
    public int Id { get; set; }

    public string Name { get; set; }
}

Outputting data from unit test in Python

Very late answer for someone that, like me, comes here looking for a simple and quick answer.

In Python 2.7 you could use an additional parameter msg to add information to the error message like this:

self.assertEqual(f.bar(t2), 2, msg='{0}, {1}'.format(t1, t2))

Offical docs here

Best way to verify string is empty or null

In most of the cases, StringUtils.isBlank(str) from apache commons library would solve it. But if there is case, where input string being checked has null value within quotes, it fails to check such cases.

Take an example where I have an input object which was converted into string using String.valueOf(obj) API. In case obj reference is null, String.valueOf returns "null" instead of null.

When you attempt to use, StringUtils.isBlank("null"), API fails miserably, you may have to check for such use cases as well to make sure your validation is proper.

How to display request headers with command line curl

You get a nice header output with the following command:

 curl -L -v -s -o /dev/null google.de
  • -L, --location follow redirects
  • -v, --verbose more output, indicates the direction
  • -s, --silent don't show a progress bar
  • -o, --output /dev/null don't show received body

Or the shorter version:

 curl -Lvso /dev/null google.de

Results in:

* Rebuilt URL to: google.de/
*   Trying 2a00:1450:4008:802::2003...

As you can see curl outputs both the outgoing and the incoming headers and skips the bodydata althought telling you how big the body is.

Additionally for every line the direction is indicated so that it is easy to read. I found it particular useful to trace down long chains of redirects.

How to get thread id of a pthread in linux c program?

You can use pthread_self()

The parent gets to know the thread id after the pthread_create() is executed sucessfully, but while executing the thread if we want to access the thread id we have to use the function pthread_self().

How do I select a sibling element using jQuery?

Since $(this) refers to .countdown you can use $(this).next() or $(this).next('button') more specifically.

Timer function to provide time in nano seconds using C++

Minimalistic copy&paste-struct + lazy usage

If the idea is to have a minimalistic struct that you can use for quick tests, then I suggest you just copy and paste anywhere in your C++ file right after the #include's. This is the only instance in which I sacrifice Allman-style formatting.

You can easily adjust the precision in the first line of the struct. Possible values are: nanoseconds, microseconds, milliseconds, seconds, minutes, or hours.

#include <chrono>
struct MeasureTime
{
    using precision = std::chrono::microseconds;
    std::vector<std::chrono::steady_clock::time_point> times;
    std::chrono::steady_clock::time_point oneLast;
    void p() {
        std::cout << "Mark " 
                << times.size()/2
                << ": " 
                << std::chrono::duration_cast<precision>(times.back() - oneLast).count() 
                << std::endl;
    }
    void m() {
        oneLast = times.back();
        times.push_back(std::chrono::steady_clock::now());
    }
    void t() {
        m();
        p();
        m();
    }
    MeasureTime() {
        times.push_back(std::chrono::steady_clock::now());
    }
};

Usage

MeasureTime m; // first time is already in memory
doFnc1();
m.t(); // Mark 1: next time, and print difference with previous mark
doFnc2();
m.t(); // Mark 2: next time, and print difference with previous mark
doStuff = doMoreStuff();
andDoItAgain = doStuff.aoeuaoeu();
m.t(); // prints 'Mark 3: 123123' etc...

Standard output result

Mark 1: 123
Mark 2: 32
Mark 3: 433234

If you want summary after execution

If you want the report afterwards, because for example your code in between also writes to standard output. Then add the following function to the struct (just before MeasureTime()):

void s() { // summary
    int i = 0;
    std::chrono::steady_clock::time_point tprev;
    for(auto tcur : times)
    {
        if(i > 0)
        {
            std::cout << "Mark " << i << ": "
                    << std::chrono::duration_cast<precision>(tprev - tcur).count()
                    << std::endl;
        }
        tprev = tcur;
        ++i;
    }
}

So then you can just use:

MeasureTime m;
doFnc1();
m.m();
doFnc2();
m.m();
doStuff = doMoreStuff();
andDoItAgain = doStuff.aoeuaoeu();
m.m();
m.s();

Which will list all the marks just like before, but then after the other code is executed. Note that you shouldn't use both m.s() and m.t().

send/post xml file using curl command line

From the manpage, I believe these are the droids you are looking for:

-F/--form <name=content>

(HTTP) This lets curl emulate a filled-in form in which a user has pressed the submit button. This causes curl to POST data using the Content-Type multipart/form-data according to RFC2388. This enables uploading of binary files etc. To force the 'content' part to be a file, prefix the file name with an @ sign.

Example, to send your password file to the server, where 'password' is the name of the form-field to which /etc/passwd will be the input:

curl -F password=@/etc/passwd www.mypasswords.com

So in your case, this would be something like
curl -F file=@/some/file/on/your/local/disk http://localhost:8080

Parsing ISO 8601 date in Javascript

datejs could parse following, you might want to try out.

Date.parse('1997-07-16T19:20:15')           // ISO 8601 Formats
Date.parse('1997-07-16T19:20:30+01:00')     // ISO 8601 with Timezone offset

Edit: Regex version

x = "2011-01-28T19:30:00EST"

MM = ["January", "February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November", "December"]

xx = x.replace(
    /(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})T(\d{2}):(\d{2}):\d{2}(\w{3})/,
    function($0,$1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6){
        return MM[$2-1]+" "+$3+", "+$1+" - "+$4%12+":"+$5+(+$4>12?"PM":"AM")+" "+$6
    }
)

Result

January 28, 2011 - 7:30PM EST

Edit2: I changed my timezone to EST and now I got following

x = "2011-01-28T19:30:00-05:00"

MM = {Jan:"January", Feb:"February", Mar:"March", Apr:"April", May:"May", Jun:"June", Jul:"July", Aug:"August", Sep:"September", Oct:"October", Nov:"November", Dec:"December"}

xx = String(new Date(x)).replace(
    /\w{3} (\w{3}) (\d{2}) (\d{4}) (\d{2}):(\d{2}):[^(]+\(([A-Z]{3})\)/,
    function($0,$1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6){
        return MM[$1]+" "+$2+", "+$3+" - "+$4%12+":"+$5+(+$4>12?"PM":"AM")+" "+$6 
    }
)

return

January 28, 2011 - 7:30PM EST

Basically

String(new Date(x))

return

Fri Jan 28 2011 19:30:00 GMT-0500 (EST)

regex parts just converting above string to your required format.

Can we pass parameters to a view in SQL?

Why do you need a parameter in view? You might just use WHERE clause.

create view v_emp as select * from emp ;

and your query should do the job:

select * from v_emp where emp_id=&eno;

How to connect to a remote MySQL database with Java?

Plus, you should make sure the MySQL server's config (/etc/mysql/my.cnf, /etc/default/mysql on Debian) doesn't have "skip-networking" activated and is not binded exclusively to the loopback interface (127.0.0.1) but also to the interface/IP address you want connect to.

How to set a session variable when clicking a <a> link

I had the same problem - i wanted to pass a parameter to another page by clicking a hyperlink and get the value to go to the next page (without using GET because the parameter is stored in the URL).

to those who don't understand why you would want to do this the answer is you dont want the user to see sensitive information or you dont want someone editing the GET.

well after scouring the internet it seemed it wasnt possible to make a normal hyperlink using the POST method.

And then i had a eureka moment!!!! why not just use CSS to make the submit button look like a normal hyperlink??? ...and put the value i want to pass in a hidden field

i tried it and it works. you can see an exaple here http://paulyouthed.com/test/css-button-that-looks-like-hyperlink.php

the basic code for the form is:

    <form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="page-to-pass-to.php" method="post">
                        <input type="hidden" name="post-variable-name" value="value-you-want-pass"/>
                        <input type="submit" name="whatever" value="text-to-display" id="hyperlink-style-button"/>
                </form>

the basic css is:

    #hyperlink-style-button{
      background:none;
      border:0;
      color:#666;
      text-decoration:underline;
    }

    #hyperlink-style-button:hover{
      background:none;
      border:0;
      color:#666;
      text-decoration:none;
      cursor:pointer;
      cursor:hand;
    }

Compile throws a "User-defined type not defined" error but does not go to the offending line of code

Late Binding

This error can occur due to a missing reference. For example when changing from early binding to late binding, by eliminating the reference, some code may remain that references data types specific the the dropped reference.

Try including the reference to see if the problem disappears.

Maybe the error is not a compiler error but a linker error, so the specific line is unknown. Shame on Microsoft!

facebook Uncaught OAuthException: An active access token must be used to query information about the current user

So I had the same issue, but it was because I was saving the access token but not using it. It could be because I'm super sleepy because of due dates, or maybe I just didn't think about it! But in case anyone else is in the same situation:

When I log in the user I save the access token:

$facebook = new Facebook(array(
    'appId' => <insert the app id you get from facebook here>,
    'secret' => <insert the app secret you get from facebook here>
));

$accessToken = $facebook->getAccessToken();
//save the access token for later

Now when I make requests to facebook I just do something like this:

$facebook = new Facebook(array(
    'appId' => <insert the app id you get from facebook here>,
    'secret' => <insert the app secret you get from facebook here>
));

$facebook->setAccessToken($accessToken);
$facebook->api(... insert own code here ...)

A reference to the dll could not be added

My answer is a bit late, but as a quick test, make sure you are using the latest version of libraries.

In my case after updating a nuget library that was referencing another library causing the problem the problem disappeared.

Centering image and text in R Markdown for a PDF report

virtualenvwrapper and Python 3

I added export VIRTUALENV_PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3 to my ~/.bashrc like this:

export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.virtualenvs
export VIRTUALENV_PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3
source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

then run source .bashrc

and you can specify the python version for each new env mkvirtualenv --python=python2 env_name

Using variables inside strings

In C# 6 you can use string interpolation:

string name = "John";
string result = $"Hello {name}";

The syntax highlighting for this in Visual Studio makes it highly readable and all of the tokens are checked.

RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L] 

Or the solution outlined below (proposed by @absiddiqueLive) will work for any domain:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

If you need to support http and https and preserve the protocol choice try the following:

RewriteRule ^login\$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/login [R=301,L]

Where you replace login with checkout.php or whatever URL you need to support HTTPS on.

I'd argue this is a bad idea though. For the reasoning please read this answer.

How to export dataGridView data Instantly to Excel on button click?

I'm adding this answer because none of the other methods use OpenXMLWriter, despite the fact that it is faster than OpenXML DOM and both faster and more reliable than COM/Interop, and because some of the other methods use the clipboard, which I would caution against, as it's output is unreliable.

The details can be found in my answer in the link below, however that example is for a DataTable, but you can adapt it to using a DataGridView by just changing the row/column loops to reference a dgv instead of a dt.

window.onload vs $(document).ready()

The $(document).ready() is a jQuery event which occurs when the HTML document has been fully loaded, while the window.onload event occurs later, when everything including images on the page loaded.

Also window.onload is a pure javascript event in the DOM, while the $(document).ready() event is a method in jQuery.

$(document).ready() is usually the wrapper for jQuery to make sure the elements all loaded in to be used in jQuery...

Look at to jQuery source code to understand how it's working:

jQuery.ready.promise = function( obj ) {
    if ( !readyList ) {

        readyList = jQuery.Deferred();

        // Catch cases where $(document).ready() is called after the browser event has already occurred.
        // we once tried to use readyState "interactive" here, but it caused issues like the one
        // discovered by ChrisS here: http://bugs.jquery.com/ticket/12282#comment:15
        if ( document.readyState === "complete" ) {
            // Handle it asynchronously to allow scripts the opportunity to delay ready
            setTimeout( jQuery.ready );

        // Standards-based browsers support DOMContentLoaded
        } else if ( document.addEventListener ) {
            // Use the handy event callback
            document.addEventListener( "DOMContentLoaded", completed, false );

            // A fallback to window.onload, that will always work
            window.addEventListener( "load", completed, false );

        // If IE event model is used
        } else {
            // Ensure firing before onload, maybe late but safe also for iframes
            document.attachEvent( "onreadystatechange", completed );

            // A fallback to window.onload, that will always work
            window.attachEvent( "onload", completed );

            // If IE and not a frame
            // continually check to see if the document is ready
            var top = false;

            try {
                top = window.frameElement == null && document.documentElement;
            } catch(e) {}

            if ( top && top.doScroll ) {
                (function doScrollCheck() {
                    if ( !jQuery.isReady ) {

                        try {
                            // Use the trick by Diego Perini
                            // http://javascript.nwbox.com/IEContentLoaded/
                            top.doScroll("left");
                        } catch(e) {
                            return setTimeout( doScrollCheck, 50 );
                        }

                        // detach all dom ready events
                        detach();

                        // and execute any waiting functions
                        jQuery.ready();
                    }
                })();
            }
        }
    }
    return readyList.promise( obj );
};
jQuery.fn.ready = function( fn ) {
    // Add the callback
    jQuery.ready.promise().done( fn );

    return this;
};

Also I have created the image below as a quick references for both:

How do I print part of a rendered HTML page in JavaScript?

Along the same lines as some of the suggestions you would need to do at least the following:

  • Load some CSS dynamically through JavaScript
  • Craft some print-specific CSS rules
  • Apply your fancy CSS rules through JavaScript

An example CSS could be as simple as this:

@media print {
  body * {
    display:none;
  }

  body .printable {
    display:block;
  }
}

Your JavaScript would then only need to apply the "printable" class to your target div and it will be the only thing visible (as long as there are no other conflicting CSS rules -- a separate exercise) when printing happens.

<script type="text/javascript">
  function divPrint() {
    // Some logic determines which div should be printed...
    // This example uses div3.
    $("#div3").addClass("printable");
    window.print();
  }
</script>

You may want to optionally remove the class from the target after printing has occurred, and / or remove the dynamically-added CSS after printing has occurred.

Below is a full working example, the only difference is that the print CSS is not loaded dynamically. If you want it to really be unobtrusive then you will need to load the CSS dynamically like in this answer.

Difference between webdriver.get() and webdriver.navigate()

driver.get(url) and navigate.to(url) both are used to go to particular web page. The key difference is that driver.get(url): It does not maintain the browser history and cookies and wait till page fully loaded. driver.navigate.to(url):It is also used to go to particular web page.it maintain browser history and cookies and does not wait till page fully loaded and have navigation between the pages back, forward and refresh.

Creating a segue programmatically

You have to link your code to the UIStoryboard that you're using. Make sure you go into YourViewController in your UIStoryboard, click on the border around it, and then set its identifier field to a NSString that you call in your code.

UIStoryboard *storyboard = [UIStoryboard storyboardWithName:@"MainStoryboard" 
                                                     bundle:nil];
YourViewController *yourViewController = 
 (YourViewController *)
  [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"yourViewControllerID"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:yourViewController animated:YES];

How to escape regular expression special characters using javascript?

Use the backslash to escape a character. For example:

/\\d/

This will match \d instead of a numeric character

standard_init_linux.go:190: exec user process caused "no such file or directory" - Docker

I had the same issue when using the alpine image.

My .sh file had the following first line:

#!/bin/bash

Alpine does not have bash. So changing the line to

#!/bin/sh

or installing bash with

apk add --no-cache bash

solved the issue for me.
