UnsupportedClassVersionError: JVMCFRE003 bad major version in WebSphere AS 7

If the log indicates java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: JVM**** bad major version.

Then the code and server is not compiled with the same JDK version.

To fix this, please switch the JDK version either in code or server JDK.

Try this:- In the below use case, im switching to 1.7_64 (JDK 1.7 64 bit)

c:\IBM\WebSphere\WSRR\v8.5\bin\managesdk.bat -enableProfile -profileName WSRRSrv01 -sdkname 1.7_64

java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError Unsupported major.minor version 51.0

Version 51 is Java 7, you probably use the wrong JDK. Check JAVA_HOME.

How to define a relative path in java

I was having issues attaching screenshots to ExtentReports using a relative path to my image file. My current directory when executing is "C:\Eclipse 64-bit\eclipse\workspace\SeleniumPractic". Under this, I created the folder ExtentReports for both the report.html and the image.png screenshot as below.

private String className = getClass().getName();
private String outputFolder = "ExtentReports\\";
private String outputFile = className  + ".html";
ExtentReports report;
ExtentTest test;

@BeforeMethod
    //  initialise report variables
    report = new ExtentReports(outputFolder + outputFile);
    test = report.startTest(className);
    // more setup code

@Test
    // test method code with log statements

@AfterMethod
    // takeScreenShot returns the relative path and filename for the image
    String imgFilename = GenericMethods.takeScreenShot(driver,outputFolder);
    String imagePath = test.addScreenCapture(imgFilename);
    test.log(LogStatus.FAIL, "Added image to report", imagePath);

This creates the report and image in the ExtentReports folder, but when the report is opened and the (blank) image inspected, hovering over the image src shows "Could not load the image" src=".\ExtentReports\QXKmoVZMW7.png".

This is solved by prefixing the relative path and filename for the image with the System Property "user.dir". So this works perfectly and the image appears in the html report.

Chris

String imgFilename = GenericMethods.takeScreenShot(driver,System.getProperty("user.dir") + "\\" + outputFolder);
String imagePath = test.addScreenCapture(imgFilename);
test.log(LogStatus.FAIL, "Added image to report", imagePath);

How to compare two strings are equal in value, what is the best method?

string1.equals(string2) is right way to do it.

String s = "something", t = "maybe something else";
 if (s == t)      // Legal, but usually results WRONG.
 if (s.equals(t)) // RIGHT way to check the two strings
  /* == will fail in following case:*/
 String s1 = new String("abc");
 String s2 = new String("abc");

 if(s1==s2) //it will return false

What is CDATA in HTML?

A way to write a common subset of HTML and XHTML

In the hope of greater portability.

In HTML, <script> is magic escapes everything until </script> appears.

So you can write:

<script>x = '<br/>';

and <br/> won't be considered a tag.

This is why strings such as:

x = '</scripts>'

must be escaped like:

x = '</scri' + 'pts>'

See: Why split the <script> tag when writing it with document.write()?

But XML (and thus XHTML, which is a "subset" of XML, unlike HTML), doesn't have that magic: <br/> would be seen as a tag.

<![CDATA[ is the XHTML way to say:

don't parse any tags until the next ]]>, consider it all a string

The // is added to make the CDATA work well in HTML as well.

In HTML <![CDATA[ is not magic, so it would be run by JavaScript. So // is used to comment it out.

The XHTML also sees the //, but will observe it as an empty comment line which is not a problem:

//

That said:

compliant browsers should recognize if the document is HTML or XHTML from the initial doctype <!DOCTYPE html> vs <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
compliant websites could rely on compliant browsers, and coordinate doctype with a single valid script syntax

But that violates the golden rule of the Internet:

don't trust third parties, or your product will break

Test if executable exists in Python?

There is a which.py script in a standard Python distribution (e.g. on Windows '\PythonXX\Tools\Scripts\which.py').

EDIT: which.py depends on ls therefore it is not cross-platform.

How to read a text file into a string variable and strip newlines?

You could use:

with open('data.txt', 'r') as file:
    data = file.read().replace('\n', '')

Fit Image into PictureBox

Have a look at the sizemode property of the picturebox.

pictureBox1.SizeMode =PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage;

Which comment style should I use in batch files?

good question... I've been looking for this functionality for long too...

after several tests and tricks it seem the better solution is the more obvious one...

--> best way I found to do it, preventing parser integrity fail, is reusing REM:

echo this will show until the next REM &REM this will not show

you can also use multiline with the "NULL LABEL" trick... (dont forget the ^ at the end of the line for continuity)

::(^
this is a multiline^
comment... inside a null label!^
dont forget the ^caret at the end-of-line^
to assure continuity of text^ 
)

How should the ViewModel close the form?

There are a lot of comments arguing the pros and cons of MVVM here. For me, I agree with Nir; it's a matter of using the pattern appropriately and MVVM doesn't always fit. People seems to have become willing to sacrifice all of the most important principles of software design JUST to get it to fit MVVM.

That said,..i think your case could be a good fit with a bit of refactoring.

In most cases I've come across, WPF enables you to get by WITHOUT multiple Windows. Maybe you could try using Frames and Pages instead of Windows with DialogResults.

In your case my suggestion would be have LoginFormViewModel handle the LoginCommand and if the login is invalid, set a property on LoginFormViewModel to an appropriate value (false or some enum value like UserAuthenticationStates.FailedAuthentication). You'd do the same for a successful login (true or some other enum value). You'd then use a DataTrigger which responds to the various user authentication states and could use a simple Setter to change the Source property of the Frame.

Having your login Window return a DialogResult i think is where you're getting confused; that DialogResult is really a property of your ViewModel. In my, admittedly limited experience with WPF, when something doesn't feel right it usually because I'm thinking in terms of how i would've done the same thing in WinForms.

Hope that helps.

In Java, how do I convert a byte array to a string of hex digits while keeping leading zeros?

I've been looking for the same thing ... some good ideas here, but I ran a few micro benchmarks. I found the following to be the fastest (modified from Ayman's above and about 2x as fast, and about 50% faster than Steve's just above this one):

public static String hash(String text, String algorithm)
        throws NoSuchAlgorithmException {
    byte[] hash = MessageDigest.getInstance(algorithm).digest(text.getBytes());
    return new BigInteger(1, hash).toString(16);
}

Edit: Oops - missed that this is essentially the same as kgiannakakis's and so may strip off a leading 0. Still, modifying this to the following, it's still the fastest:

public static String hash(String text, String algorithm)
        throws NoSuchAlgorithmException {
    byte[] hash = MessageDigest.getInstance(algorithm).digest(text.getBytes());
    BigInteger bi = new BigInteger(1, hash);
    String result = bi.toString(16);
    if (result.length() % 2 != 0) {
        return "0" + result;
    }
    return result;
}

get list of packages installed in Anaconda

For script creation at Windows cmd or powershell prompt:

C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\Scripts\activate.bat C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3
conda list
pip list

Remove a character at a certain position in a string - javascript

var str = 'Hello World',
    i = 3,
    result = str.substr(0, i-1)+str.substring(i);

alert(result);

Value of i should not be less then 1.

Why does HTML think “chucknorris” is a color?

The reason is the browser can not understand it and try to somehow translate it to what it can understand and in this case into a hexadecimal value!...

chucknorris starts with c which is recognised character in hexadecimal, also it's converting all unrecognised characters into 0!

So chucknorris in hexadecimal format becomes: c00c00000000, all other characters become 0 and c remains where they are...

Now they get divided by 3 for RGB(red, green, blue)... R: c00c, G: 0000, B:0000...

But we know valid hexadecimal for RGB is just 2 characters, means R: c0, G: 00, B:00

So the real result is:

bgcolor="#c00000";

I also added the steps in the image as a quick reference for you:

How to calculate probability in a normal distribution given mean & standard deviation?

Note that probability is different than probability density pdf(), which some of the previous answers refer to. Probability is the chance that the variable has a specific value, whereas the probability density is the chance that the variable will be near a specific value, meaning probability over a range. So to obtain the probability you need to compute the integral of the probability density function over a given interval. As an approximation, you can simply multiply the probability density by the interval you're interested in and that will give you the actual probability.

import numpy as np
from scipy.stats import norm

data_start = -10
data_end = 10
data_points = 21
data = np.linspace(data_start, data_end, data_points)

point_of_interest = 5
mu = np.mean(data)
sigma = np.std(data)                                   
interval = (data_end - data_start) / (data_points - 1)
probability = norm.pdf(point_of_interest, loc=mu, scale=sigma) * interval

The code above will give you the probability that the variable will have an exact value of 5 in a normal distribution between -10 and 10 with 21 data points (meaning interval is 1). You can play around with a fixed interval value, depending on the results you want to achieve.

how to make a countdown timer in java

MySQL Select last 7 days

The WHERE clause is misplaced, it has to follow the table references and JOIN operations.

Something like this:

 FROM tartikel p1 
 JOIN tartikelpict p2 
   ON p1.kArtikel = p2.kArtikel 
  AND p2.nNr = 1
WHERE p1.dErstellt >= DATE(NOW()) - INTERVAL 7 DAY
ORDER BY p1.kArtikel DESC

EDIT (three plus years later)

The above essentially answers the question "I tried to add a WHERE clause to my query and now the query is returning an error, how do I fix it?"

As to a question about writing a condition that checks a date range of "last 7 days"...

That really depends on interpreting the specification, what the datatype of the column in the table is (DATE or DATETIME) and what data is available... what should be returned.

To summarize: the general approach is to identify a "start" for the date/datetime range, and "end" of that range, and reference those in a query. Let's consider something easier... all rows for "yesterday".

If our column is DATE type. Before we incorporate an expression into a query, we can test it in a simple SELECT

 SELECT DATE(NOW()) + INTERVAL -1 DAY

and verify the result returned is what we expect. Then we can use that same expression in a WHERE clause, comparing it to a DATE column like this:

 WHERE datecol = DATE(NOW()) + INTERVAL -1 DAY

For a DATETIME or TIMESTAMP column, we can use >= and < inequality comparisons to specify a range

 WHERE datetimecol >= DATE(NOW()) + INTERVAL -1 DAY
   AND datetimecol <  DATE(NOW()) + INTERVAL  0 DAY

For "last 7 days" we need to know if that mean from this point right now, back 7 days ... e.g. the last 7*24 hours , including the time component in the comparison, ...

 WHERE datetimecol >= NOW() + INTERVAL -7 DAY
   AND datetimecol <  NOW() + INTERVAL  0 DAY

the last seven complete days, not including today

 WHERE datetimecol >= DATE(NOW()) + INTERVAL -7 DAY
   AND datetimecol <  DATE(NOW()) + INTERVAL  0 DAY

or past six complete days plus so far today ...

 WHERE datetimecol >= DATE(NOW()) + INTERVAL -6 DAY
   AND datetimecol <  NOW()       + INTERVAL  0 DAY

I recommend testing the expressions on the right side in a SELECT statement, we can use a user-defined variable in place of NOW() for testing, not being tied to what NOW() returns so we can test borders, across week/month/year boundaries, and so on.

SET @clock = '2017-11-17 11:47:47' ;

SELECT DATE(@clock)
     , DATE(@clock) + INTERVAL -7 DAY 
     , @clock + INTERVAL -6 DAY

Once we have expressions that return values that work for "start" and "end" for our particular use case, what we mean by "last 7 days", we can use those expressions in range comparisons in the WHERE clause.

(Some developers prefer to use the DATE_ADD and DATE_SUB functions in place of the + INTERVAL val DAY/HOUR/MINUTE/MONTH/YEAR syntax.

And MySQL provides some convenient functions for working with DATE, DATETIME and TIMESTAMP datatypes... DATE, LAST_DAY,

Some developers prefer to calculate the start and end in other code, and supply string literals in the SQL query, such that the query submitted to the database is

  WHERE datetimecol >= '2017-11-10 00:00'
    AND datetimecol <  '2017-11-17 00:00'

And that approach works too. (My preference would be to explicitly cast those string literals into DATETIME, either with CAST, CONVERT or just the + INTERVAL trick...

  WHERE datetimecol >= '2017-11-10 00:00' + INTERVAL 0 SECOND
    AND datetimecol <  '2017-11-17 00:00' + INTERVAL 0 SECOND

The above all assumes we are storing "dates" in appropriate DATE, DATETIME and/or TIMESTAMP datatypes, and not storing them as strings in variety of formats e.g. 'dd/mm/yyyy', m/d/yyyy, julian dates, or in sporadically non-canonical formats, or as a number of seconds since the beginning of the epoch, this answer would need to be much longer.

Convert Base64 string to an image file?

The problem is that data:image/png;base64, is included in the encoded contents. This will result in invalid image data when the base64 function decodes it. Remove that data in the function before decoding the string, like so.

function base64_to_jpeg($base64_string, $output_file) {
    // open the output file for writing
    $ifp = fopen( $output_file, 'wb' ); 

    // split the string on commas
    // $data[ 0 ] == "data:image/png;base64"
    // $data[ 1 ] == <actual base64 string>
    $data = explode( ',', $base64_string );

    // we could add validation here with ensuring count( $data ) > 1
    fwrite( $ifp, base64_decode( $data[ 1 ] ) );

    // clean up the file resource
    fclose( $ifp ); 

    return $output_file; 
}

How to replace negative numbers in Pandas Data Frame by zero

If you are dealing with a large df (40m x 700 in my case) it works much faster and memory savvy through iteration on columns with something like.

for col in df.columns:
    df[col][df[col] < 0] = 0

What does `unsigned` in MySQL mean and when to use it?

MySQL says:

All integer types can have an optional (nonstandard) attribute UNSIGNED. Unsigned type can be used to permit only nonnegative numbers in a column or when you need a larger upper numeric range for the column. For example, if an INT column is UNSIGNED, the size of the column's range is the same but its endpoints shift from -2147483648 and 2147483647 up to 0 and 4294967295.

When do I use it ?

Ask yourself this question: Will this field ever contain a negative value?
If the answer is no, then you want an UNSIGNED data type.

A common mistake is to use a primary key that is an auto-increment INT starting at zero, yet the type is SIGNED, in that case you’ll never touch any of the negative numbers and you are reducing the range of possible id's to half.

How to check if an element is off-screen

Depends on what your definition of "offscreen" is. Is that within the viewport, or within the defined boundaries of your page?

Using Element.getBoundingClientRect() you can easily detect whether or not your element is within the boundries of your viewport (i.e. onscreen or offscreen):

jQuery.expr.filters.offscreen = function(el) {
  var rect = el.getBoundingClientRect();
  return (
           (rect.x + rect.width) < 0 
             || (rect.y + rect.height) < 0
             || (rect.x > window.innerWidth || rect.y > window.innerHeight)
         );
};

You could then use that in several ways:

// returns all elements that are offscreen
$(':offscreen');

// boolean returned if element is offscreen
$('div').is(':offscreen');

How to retrieve checkboxes values in jQuery

Linux command-line call not returning what it should from os.system?

This is an old thread, but purely using os.system, the following's a valid way of accessing the data returned by the ps call. Note: it does use a pipe to write the data to a file on disk. And OP didn't specifically ask for a solution using os.system.

>>> os.system("ps > ~/Documents/ps.txt")
0    #system call is processed.
>>> os.system("cat ~/Documents/ps.txt")
  PID TTY          TIME CMD
 9927 pts/0    00:00:00 bash
10063 pts/0    00:00:00 python
12654 pts/0    00:00:00 sh
12655 pts/0    00:00:00 ps
0

accordingly,

>>> os.system("ps -p 10063 -o time --no-headers > ~/Documents/ps.txt")
0
>>> os.system("cat ~/Documents/ps.txt")
00:00:00
0

No idea why they are all returning zeroes though.

Change image size with JavaScript

Once you have a reference to your image, you can set its height and width like so:

var yourImg = document.getElementById('yourImgId');
if(yourImg && yourImg.style) {
    yourImg.style.height = '100px';
    yourImg.style.width = '200px';
}

In the html, it would look like this:

<img src="src/to/your/img.jpg" id="yourImgId" alt="alt tags are key!"/>

Multiline string literal in C#

The problem with using string literal I find is that it can make your code look a bit "weird" because in order to not get spaces in the string itself, it has to be completely left aligned:

    var someString = @"The
quick
brown
fox...";

Yuck.

So the solution I like to use, which keeps everything nicely aligned with the rest of your code is:

var someString = String.Join(
    Environment.NewLine,
    "The",
    "quick",
    "brown",
    "fox...");

And of course, if you just want to logically split up lines of an SQL statement like you are and don't actually need a new line, you can always just substitute Environment.NewLine for " ".

How can I use iptables on centos 7?

If you do so, and you're using fail2ban, you will need to enable the proper filters/actions:

Put the following lines in /etc/fail2ban/jail.d/sshd.local

[ssh-iptables]
enabled  = true
filter   = sshd
action   = iptables[name=SSH, port=ssh, protocol=tcp]
logpath  = /var/log/secure
maxretry = 5
bantime = 86400

Enable and start fail2ban:

systemctl enable fail2ban
systemctl start fail2ban

matplotlib does not show my drawings although I call pyplot.show()

For future reference,

I have encountered the same problem -- pylab was not showing under ipython. The problem was fixed by changing ipython's config file {ipython_config.py}. In the config file

c.InteractiveShellApp.pylab = 'auto'

As mentioned before, the use of x(end+1) = newElem has the advantage that it allows you to concatenate your vector with a scalar, regardless of whether your vector is transposed or not. Therefore it is more robust for adding scalars.

However, what should not be forgotten is that x = [x newElem] will also work when you try to add multiple elements at once. Furthermore, this generalizes a bit more naturally to the case where you want to concatenate matrices. M = [M M1 M2 M3]

All in all, if you want a solution that allows you to concatenate your existing vector x with newElem that may or may not be a scalar, this should do the trick:

 x(end+(1:numel(newElem)))=newElem

Passing an array of data as an input parameter to an Oracle procedure

If the types of the parameters are all the same (varchar2 for example), you can have a package like this which will do the following:

CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE testuser.test_pkg IS

   TYPE assoc_array_varchar2_t IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(4000) INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;

   PROCEDURE your_proc(p_parm IN assoc_array_varchar2_t);

END test_pkg;

CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY testuser.test_pkg IS

   PROCEDURE your_proc(p_parm IN assoc_array_varchar2_t) AS
   BEGIN
      FOR i IN p_parm.first .. p_parm.last
      LOOP
         dbms_output.put_line(p_parm(i));
      END LOOP;

   END;

END test_pkg;

Then, to call it you'd need to set up the array and pass it:

DECLARE
  l_array testuser.test_pkg.assoc_array_varchar2_t;
BEGIN
  l_array(0) := 'hello';
  l_array(1) := 'there';  

  testuser.test_pkg.your_proc(l_array);
END;

Virtual member call in a constructor

There's a difference between C++ and C# in this specific case. In C++ the object is not initialized and therefore it is unsafe to call a virutal function inside a constructor. In C# when a class object is created all its members are zero initialized. It is possible to call a virtual function in the constructor but if you'll might access members that are still zero. If you don't need to access members it is quite safe to call a virtual function in C#.

Navigation drawer: How do I set the selected item at startup?

Make a selector for Individaual item of Nav Drawer

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:drawable="@color/darkBlue" android:state_pressed="true"/>
    <item android:drawable="@color/darkBlue" android:state_checked="true"/>
    <item android:drawable="@color/textBlue" />
</selector>

Make a few changes in your NavigationView

<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
        android:id="@+id/nav_view"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="start"
        android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
        app:itemBackground="@drawable/drawer_item"
        android:background="@color/textBlue"
        app:itemIconTint="@color/white"
        app:itemTextColor="@color/white"
        app:menu="@menu/activity_main_drawer"
        />

How to fix '.' is not an internal or external command error

I got exactly the same error in Windows 8 while trying to export decision tree digraph using tree.export_graphviz! Then I installed GraphViz from this link. And then I followed the below steps which resolved my issue:

Right click on My PC >> click on "Change Settings" under "Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings"
It will open the System Properties window; Goto 'Advanced' tab >> click on 'Environment Variables' >> Under "System Variables" >> select 'Path' and click on 'Edit' >> In 'Variable Value' field, put a semicolon (;) at the end of existing value and then include the path of its installation folder (e.g. ;C:\Program Files (x86)\Graphviz2.38\bin) >> Click on 'Ok' >> 'Ok' >> 'Ok'
Restart your PC as environment variables are changed

HTML <select> selected option background-color CSS style

In principle, you can style it using option[selected] as selector, but that doesn't work in many browsers. Also, that only allows you to style the selected option, not the option that has hover focus.

Tested to work in Chrome 9 and Firefox 3.6, doesn't work in Internet Explorer 8.

Batch - If, ElseIf, Else

Recommendation. Do not use user-added REM statements to block batch steps. Use conditional GOTO instead. That way you can predefine and test the steps and options. The users also get much simpler changes and better confidence.

Get the row(s) which have the max value in groups using groupby

Try using "nlargest" on the groupby object. The advantage of using nlargest is that it returns the index of the rows where "the nlargest item(s)" were fetched from. Note: we slice the second(1) element of our index since our index in this case consist of tuples(eg.(s1, 0)).

df = pd.DataFrame({
'sp' : ['MM1', 'MM1', 'MM1', 'MM2', 'MM2', 'MM2', 'MM4', 'MM4','MM4'],
'mt' : ['S1', 'S1', 'S3', 'S3', 'S4', 'S4', 'S2', 'S2', 'S2'],
'val' : ['a', 'n', 'cb', 'mk', 'bg', 'dgb', 'rd', 'cb', 'uyi'],
'count' : [3,2,5,8,10,1,2,2,7]
})

d = df.groupby('mt')['count'].nlargest(1) # pass 1 since we want the max

df.iloc[[i[1] for i in d.index], :] # pass the index of d as list comprehension

UITextField border color

Import QuartzCore framework in you class:

#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>

and for changing the border color use the following code snippet (I'm setting it to redColor),

    textField.layer.cornerRadius=8.0f;
    textField.layer.masksToBounds=YES;
    textField.layer.borderColor=[[UIColor redColor]CGColor];
    textField.layer.borderWidth= 1.0f;

For reverting back to the original layout just set border color to clear color,

    serverField.layer.borderColor=[[UIColor clearColor]CGColor];

in swift code

    textField.layer.borderWidth = 1
    textField.layer.borderColor = UIColor.whiteColor().CGColor

How can I maintain fragment state when added to the back stack?

Replace a Fragment using following code:

Fragment fragment = new AddPaymentFragment();
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().replace(R.id.frame, fragment, "Tag_AddPayment")
                .addToBackStack("Tag_AddPayment")
                .commit();

Activity's onBackPressed() is :

  @Override
public void onBackPressed() {
    android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager fm = getSupportFragmentManager();
    if (fm.getBackStackEntryCount() > 1) {

        fm.popBackStack();
    } else {


        finish();

    }
    Log.e("popping BACKSTRACK===> ",""+fm.getBackStackEntryCount());

}

How to use a PHP class from another file?

How to display items side-by-side without using tables?

The negative margin would help a lot!

The html DOM looks like below:

<div class="main">
  <div class="main_body">Main content</div>
</div>
<div class="left">Left Images or something else</div>

And the CSS:

.main {
  float:left;
  width:100%;
}

.main_body{
  margin-left:210px;
  height:200px;
}
.left{
  float:left;
  width:200px;
  height:200px;
  margin-left:-100%;
}

The main_body will responsive it's with, may it helps you!

Using gdb to single-step assembly code outside specified executable causes error "cannot find bounds of current function"

Instead of gdb, run gdbtui. Or run gdb with the -tui switch. Or press C-x C-a after entering gdb. Now you're in GDB's TUI mode.

Enter layout asm to make the upper window display assembly -- this will automatically follow your instruction pointer, although you can also change frames or scroll around while debugging. Press C-x s to enter SingleKey mode, where run continue up down finish etc. are abbreviated to a single key, allowing you to walk through your program very quickly.

Can I get "&&" or "-and" to work in PowerShell?

If your command is available in cmd.exe (something like python ./script.py, but not PowerShell command like ii . (this means to open the current directory by Windows Explorer)), you can run cmd.exe within PowerShell. The syntax is like this:

cmd /c "command1 && command2"

Here, && is provided by cmd syntax described in this question.

How to center a Window in Java?

Example: Inside myWindow() on line 3 is the code you need to set the window in the center of the screen.

JFrame window;

public myWindow() {

    window = new JFrame();
    window.setSize(1200,800);
    window.setLocationRelativeTo(null); // this line set the window in the center of thr screen
    window.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    window.getContentPane().setBackground(Color.BLACK);
    window.setLayout(null); // disable the default layout to use custom one.
    window.setVisible(true); // to show the window on the screen.

How do I get the SelectedItem or SelectedIndex of ListView in vb.net?

If you want to select the same item in a listbox using a listview, you can use:

Private Sub ListView1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ListView1.SelectedIndexChanged
    For aa As Integer = 0 To ListView1.SelectedItems.Count - 1
        ListBox1.SelectedIndex = ListView1.SelectedIndices(aa)
    Next
End Sub

PostgreSQL DISTINCT ON with different ORDER BY

Documentation says:

DISTINCT ON ( expression [, ...] ) keeps only the first row of each set of rows where the given expressions evaluate to equal. [...] Note that the "first row" of each set is unpredictable unless ORDER BY is used to ensure that the desired row appears first. [...] The DISTINCT ON expression(s) must match the leftmost ORDER BY expression(s).

Official documentation

So you'll have to add the address_id to the order by.

Alternatively, if you're looking for the full row that contains the most recent purchased product for each address_id and that result sorted by purchased_at then you're trying to solve a greatest N per group problem which can be solved by the following approaches:

The general solution that should work in most DBMSs:

SELECT t1.* FROM purchases t1
JOIN (
    SELECT address_id, max(purchased_at) max_purchased_at
    FROM purchases
    WHERE product_id = 1
    GROUP BY address_id
) t2
ON t1.address_id = t2.address_id AND t1.purchased_at = t2.max_purchased_at
ORDER BY t1.purchased_at DESC

A more PostgreSQL-oriented solution based on @hkf's answer:

SELECT * FROM (
  SELECT DISTINCT ON (address_id) *
  FROM purchases 
  WHERE product_id = 1
  ORDER BY address_id, purchased_at DESC
) t
ORDER BY purchased_at DESC

How to count the number of lines of a string in javascript

There are three options:

Using jQuery (download from jQuery website) - jquery.com

var lines = $("#ptest").val().split("\n");
return lines.length;

Using Regex

var lines = str.split(/\r\n|\r|\n/);
return lines.length;

Or, a recreation of a for each loop

var length = 0;
for(var i = 0; i < str.length; ++i){
    if(str[i] == '\n') {
        length++;
    }
}
return length;

default web page width - 1024px or 980px?

even there is no right or wrong answer for this question , but I personally prefer 960px width . since all modern monitors support at least 1024 × 768 pixel resolution. 960 is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20, 24, 30, 32, 40, 48, 60, 64, 80, 96, 120, 160, 192, 240, 320 and 480. This makes it a highly flexible base number to work with.

jQuery & CSS - Remove/Add display:none

So, let me give you sample code:

<div class="news">
Blah, blah, blah. I'm hidden.
</div>

<a class="trigger">Hide/Show News</a>

The link will be the trigger to show the div when clicked. So your Javascript will be:

$('.trigger').click(function() {
   $('.news').toggle();
});

You're almost always better off letting jQuery handle the styling for hiding and showing elements.

Edit: I see people above are recommending using .show and .hide for this. .toggle allows you to do both with just one effect. So that's cool.

    if (result == MessageBoxResult.Cancel)
    {
       e.Cancel = true;

How to pass parameters in GET requests with jQuery

The data parameter of ajax method allows you send data to server side.On server side you can request the data.See the code

var id=5;
$.ajax({
    type: "get",
    url: "url of server side script",
    data:{id:id},
    success: function(res){
        console.log(res);
    },
error:function(error)
{
console.log(error);
}
});

At server side receive it using $_GET variable.

$_GET['id'];

Add class to an element in Angular 4

you can try this without any java script you can do that just by using CSS

img:active,
img:focus,
img:hover{ 
border: 10px solid red !important
}

of if your case is to add any other css class by clicking you can use query selector like

<img id="image1" ng-click="changeClass(id)" >
<img id="image2" ng-click="changeClass(id)" >
<img id="image3" ng-click="changeClass(id)" >
<img id="image3" ng-click="changeClass(id)" >

in controller first search for any image with red border and remove it then by passing the image id add the border class to that image

$scope.changeClass = function(id){
angular.element(document.querySelector('.some-class').removeClass('.some-class');
angular.element(document.querySelector(id)).addClass('.some-class');
}

INSERT INTO vs SELECT INTO

Which statement is preferable? Depends on what you are doing.
Are there other performance implications? If the table is a permanent table, you can create indexes at the time of table creation which has implications for performance both negatively and positiviely. Select into does not recreate indexes that exist on current tables and thus subsequent use of the table may be slower than it needs to be.
What is a good use case for SELECT...INTO over INSERT INTO ...? Select into is used if you may not know the table structure in advance. It is faster to write than create table and an insert statement, so it is used to speed up develoment at times. It is often faster to use when you are creating a quick temp table to test things or a backup table of a specific query (maybe records you are going to delete). It should be rare to see it used in production code that will run multiple times (except for temp tables) because it will fail if the table was already in existence.

It is sometimes used inappropriately by people who don't know what they are doing. And they can cause havoc in the db as a result. I strongly feel it is inappropriate to use SELECT INTO for anything other than a throwaway table (a temporary backup, a temp table that will go away at the end of the stored proc ,etc.). Permanent tables need real thought as to their design and SELECT INTO makes it easy to avoid thinking about anything even as basic as what columns and what datatypes.

In general, I prefer the use of the create table and insert statement - you have more controls and it is better for repeatable processes. Further, if the table is a permanent table, it should be created from a separate create table script (one that is in source control) as creating permanent objects should not, in general, in code are inserts/deletes/updates or selects from a table. Object changes should be handled separately from data changes because objects have implications beyond the needs of a specific insert/update/select/delete. You need to consider the best data types, think about FK constraints, PKs and other constraints, consider auditing requirements, think about indexing, etc.

programmatically add column & rows to WPF Datagrid

If you already have the databinding in place John Myczek answer is complete. If not you have at least 2 options I know of if you want to specify the source of your data. (However I am not sure whether or not this is in line with most guidelines, like MVVM)

Then you just bind to Users collections and columns are autogenerated as you speficy them. Strings passed to property descriptors are names for column headers. At runtime you can add more PropertyDescriptors to 'Users' add another column to the grid.

Difference between Build Solution, Rebuild Solution, and Clean Solution in Visual Studio?

Build Solution - Build solution will build your application with building the number of projects which are having any file change. And it does not clear any existing binary files and just replacing updated assemblies in bin or obj folder.

Rebuild Solution - Rebuild solution will build your entire application with building all the projects are available in your solution with cleaning them. Before building it clears all the binary files from bin and obj folder.

Clean Solution - Clean solution is just clears all the binary files from bin and obj folder.

What is the preferred/idiomatic way to insert into a map?

As of C++11, you have two major additional options. First, you can use insert() with list initialization syntax:

function.insert({0, 42});

This is functionally equivalent to

function.insert(std::map<int, int>::value_type(0, 42));

but much more concise and readable. As other answers have noted, this has several advantages over the other forms:

The operator[] approach requires the mapped type to be assignable, which isn't always the case.
The operator[] approach can overwrite existing elements, and gives you no way to tell whether this has happened.
The other forms of insert that you list involve an implicit type conversion, which may slow your code down.

The major drawback is that this form used to require the key and value to be copyable, so it wouldn't work with e.g. a map with unique_ptr values. That has been fixed in the standard, but the fix may not have reached your standard library implementation yet.

Second, you can use the emplace() method:

function.emplace(0, 42);

This is more concise than any of the forms of insert(), works fine with move-only types like unique_ptr, and theoretically may be slightly more efficient (although a decent compiler should optimize away the difference). The only major drawback is that it may surprise your readers a little, since emplace methods aren't usually used that way.

Disposing WPF User Controls

I'm thinking unload is called all but at hard exist in 4.7. But, if you are playing around with older versions of .Net, try doing this in your loading method:

e.Handled = true;

I don't think older versions will unload until loading is handled. Just posting because I see others still asking this question, and haven't seen this proposed as a solution. I only touch .Net a few times a year, and ran into this a few years back. But, I wonder if it's as simple as unload not being called until loading has finished. Seems like it works for me, but again in newer .Net it seems to always call unload even if loading isn't marked as handled.

Styling an input type="file" button

This is a nice way to do it with material / angular file upload. You could do the same with a bootstrap button.

Note I used <a> instead of <button> this allows the click events to bubble up.

Can't subtract offset-naive and offset-aware datetimes

I know this is old, but just thought I would add my solution just in case someone finds it useful.

I wanted to compare the local naive datetime with an aware datetime from a timeserver. I basically created a new naive datetime object using the aware datetime object. It's a bit of a hack and doesn't look very pretty but gets the job done.

import ntplib
import datetime
from datetime import timezone

def utc_to_local(utc_dt):
    return utc_dt.replace(tzinfo=timezone.utc).astimezone(tz=None)    

try:

How to pass model attributes from one Spring MVC controller to another controller?

You can resolve it by using org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.support.RedirectAttributes.

Here is my controller sample.

@RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST)
    public String eligibilityPost(
            @ModelAttribute("form") @Valid EligibiltyForm form,
            Model model,
            RedirectAttributes redirectAttributes) {
        if(eligibilityService.validateEligibility(form)){
            redirectAttributes.addFlashAttribute("form", form);
            return "redirect:<redirect to your page>";
        }
       return "eligibility";
    }

Do I need Content-Type: application/octet-stream for file download?

No.

The content-type should be whatever it is known to be, if you know it. application/octet-stream is defined as "arbitrary binary data" in RFC 2046, and there's a definite overlap here of it being appropriate for entities whose sole intended purpose is to be saved to disk, and from that point on be outside of anything "webby". Or to look at it from another direction; the only thing one can safely do with application/octet-stream is to save it to file and hope someone else knows what it's for.

You can combine the use of Content-Disposition with other content-types, such as image/png or even text/html to indicate you want saving rather than display. It used to be the case that some browsers would ignore it in the case of text/html but I think this was some long time ago at this point (and I'm going to bed soon so I'm not going to start testing a whole bunch of browsers right now; maybe later).

RFC 2616 also mentions the possibility of extension tokens, and these days most browsers recognise inline to mean you do want the entity displayed if possible (that is, if it's a type the browser knows how to display, otherwise it's got no choice in the matter). This is of course the default behaviour anyway, but it means that you can include the filename part of the header, which browsers will use (perhaps with some adjustment so file-extensions match local system norms for the content-type in question, perhaps not) as the suggestion if the user tries to save.

Hence:

Content-Type: application/octet-stream
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="picture.png"

Means "I don't know what the hell this is. Please save it as a file, preferably named picture.png".

Content-Type: image/png
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="picture.png"

Means "This is a PNG image. Please save it as a file, preferably named picture.png".

Content-Type: image/png
Content-Disposition: inline; filename="picture.png"

Means "This is a PNG image. Please display it unless you don't know how to display PNG images. Otherwise, or if the user chooses to save it, we recommend the name picture.png for the file you save it as".

Of those browsers that recognise inline some would always use it, while others would use it if the user had selected "save link as" but not if they'd selected "save" while viewing (or at least IE used to be like that, it may have changed some years ago).

How do I convert a String to an int in Java?

Try this code with different inputs of String:

String a = "10";  
String a = "10ssda";  
String a = null; 
String a = "12102";

if(null != a) {
    try {
        int x = Integer.ParseInt(a.trim()); 
        Integer y = Integer.valueOf(a.trim());
        //  It will throw a NumberFormatException in case of invalid string like ("10ssda" or "123 212") so, put this code into try catch
    } catch(NumberFormatException ex) {
        // ex.getMessage();
    }
}

How do I get AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID for Amazon?

It is very dangerous to create an access_key_id in "My Account ==> Security Credentials". Because the key has all authority. Please create "IAM" user and attach only some policies you need.

Warning: push.default is unset; its implicit value is changing in Git 2.0

I realize this is an old post but as I just ran into the same issue and had trouble finding the answer I thought I'd add a bit.

So @hammar's answer is correct. Using push.default simple is, in a way, like configuring tracking on your branches so you don't need to specify remotes and branches when pushing and pulling. The matching option will push all branches to their corresponding counterparts on the default remote (which is the first one that was set up unless you've configured your repo otherwise).

One thing I hope others find useful in the future is that I was running Git 1.8 on OS X Mountain Lion and never saw this error. Upgrading to Mavericks is what suddenly made it show up (running git --version will show git version 1.8.3.4 (Apple Git-47) which I'd never seen until the update to the OS.

how to console.log result of this ajax call?

You could try something like this (copied from the jQuery Ajax examples)

var request = $.ajax({
  url: "script.php",
  type: "POST",
  data: {id : menuId},
  dataType: "html"
});

request.done(function(msg) {
  console.log( msg );
});

request.fail(function(jqXHR, textStatus) {
  console.log( "Request failed: " + textStatus );
});

The problem with your original code is that the error argument you pass into your on function isn't actually coming from anywhere. JQuery on doesn't return a second argument, and even if it did, it would relate to the click event not the Ajax call.

How to handle configuration in Go

Viper is a golang configuration management system that works with JSON, YAML, and TOML. It looks pretty interesting.

Entity framework linq query Include() multiple children entities

EF 4.1 to EF 6

There is a strongly typed .Include which allows the required depth of eager loading to be specified by providing Select expressions to the appropriate depth:

using System.Data.Entity; // NB!

var company = context.Companies
                     .Include(co => co.Employees.Select(emp => emp.Employee_Car))
                     .Include(co => co.Employees.Select(emp => emp.Employee_Country))
                     .FirstOrDefault(co => co.companyID == companyID);

The Sql generated is by no means intuitive, but seems performant enough. I've put a small example on GitHub here

EF Core

EF Core has a new extension method, .ThenInclude(), although the syntax is slightly different:

var company = context.Companies
                     .Include(co => co.Employees)
                           .ThenInclude(emp => emp.Employee_Car)
                     .Include(co => co.Employees)
                           .ThenInclude(emp => emp.Employee_Country)

With some notes

As per above (Employees.Employee_Car and Employees.Employee_Country), if you need to include 2 or more child properties of an intermediate child collection, you'll need to repeat the .Include navigation for the collection for each child of the collection.
As per the docs, I would keep the extra 'indent' in the .ThenInclude to preserve your sanity.

JavaScript, get date of the next day

You can use:

var tomorrow = new Date();
tomorrow.setDate(new Date().getDate()+1);

For example, since there are 30 days in April, the following code will output May 1:

var day = new Date('Apr 30, 2000');
console.log(day); // Apr 30 2000

var nextDay = new Date(day);
nextDay.setDate(day.getDate() + 1);
console.log(nextDay); // May 01 2000

See fiddle.

What is Inversion of Control?

A very simple written explanation can be found here

http://binstock.blogspot.in/2008/01/excellent-explanation-of-dependency.html

It says -

"Any nontrivial application is made up of two or more classes that collaborate with each other to perform some business logic. Traditionally, each object is responsible for obtaining its own references to the objects it collaborates with (its dependencies). When applying DI, the objects are given their dependencies at creation time by some external entity that coordinates each object in the system. In other words, dependencies are injected into objects."

Set focus on <input> element

To make the execution after the boolean has changed and avoid the usage of timeout you can do:

import { ChangeDetectorRef } from '@angular/core';

constructor(private cd: ChangeDetectorRef) {}

showSearch(){
  this.show = !this.show;  
  this.cd.detectChanges();
  this.searchElement.nativeElement.focus();
}

Java - Abstract class to contain variables?

I would have thought that something like this would be much better, since you're adding a variable, so why not restrict access and make it cleaner? Your getter/setters should do what they say on the tin.

public abstract class ExternalScript extends Script {

    private String source;

    public void setSource(String file) {
        source = file;
    }

    public String getSource() {
        return source;
    }
}

Bringing this back to the question, do you ever bother looking at where the getter/setter code is when reading it? If they all do getting and setting then you don't need to worry about what the function 'does' when reading the code. There are a few other reasons to think about too:

If source was protected (so accessible by subclasses) then code gets messy: who's changing the variables? When it's an object it then becomes hard when you need to refactor, whereas a method tends to make this step easier.
If your getter/setter methods aren't getting and setting, then describe them as something else.

Always think whether your class is really a different thing or not, and that should help decide whether you need anything more.

Excel: Creating a dropdown using a list in another sheet?

As cardern has said list will do the job.

Here is how you can use a named range.

Select your range and enter a new name:

Select your range and enter a new name

Select your cell that you want a drop down to be in and goto data tab -> data validation.

Select 'List' from the 'Allow' Drop down menu.

Enter your named range like this:

enter image description here

Now you have a drop down linked to your range. If you insert new rows in your range everything will update automatically.

Add/remove class with jquery based on vertical scroll?

Is this value intended? if (scroll <= 500) { ... This means it's happening from 0 to 500, and not 500 and greater. In the original post you said "after the user scrolls down a little"

How to get a list of column names

SELECT sql FROM sqlite_master
WHERE tbl_name = 'table_name' AND type = 'table'

Then parse this value with Reg Exp (it's easy) which could looks similar to this: [(.*?)]

Alternatively you can use:

PRAGMA table_info(table_name)

How to change language of app when user selects language?

    Locale locale = new Locale(langCode);
    Locale.setDefault(locale);
    Configuration configuration = context.getResources().getConfiguration();
    configuration.locale = locale;
    preferences.setLocalePref(langCode);
    context.getResources().updateConfiguration(configuration, context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics());

Here, langCode is the required language code. You can save the language code as string in sharedPreferences. and you can call this code super.onCreate(savedInstanceState) in onCreate.

How to trim a list in Python

You just subindex it with [:5] indicating that you want (up to) the first 5 elements.

>>> [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8][:5]
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
>>> [1,2,3][:5]
[1, 2, 3]
>>> x = [6,7,8,9,10,11,12]
>>> x[:5]
[6, 7, 8, 9, 10]

Also, putting the colon on the right of the number means count from the nth element onwards -- don't forget that lists are 0-based!

>>> x[5:]
[11, 12]

Using Pipes within ngModel on INPUT Elements in Angular

You can't use Template expression operators(pipe, save navigator) within template statement:

(ngModelChange)="Template statements"

~~(ngModelChange)="item.value | useMyPipeToFormatThatValue=$event"~~

https://angular.io/guide/template-syntax#template-statements

Like template expressions, template statements use a language that looks like JavaScript. The template statement parser differs from the template expression parser and specifically supports both basic assignment (=) and chaining expressions (with ; or ,).

However, certain JavaScript syntax is not allowed:

new

increment and decrement operators, ++ and --

operator assignment, such as += and -=

the bitwise operators | and &

the template expression operators

So you should write it as follows:

<input [ngModel]="item.value | useMyPipeToFormatThatValue" 
      (ngModelChange)="item.value=$event" name="inputField" type="text" />

Plunker Example

Open Facebook Page in Facebook App (if installed) on Android

Okay I modifed @AndroidMechanics Code, because on devices were facebook is disabled the app crashes!

here is the modifed getFacebookUrl:

public String getFacebookPageURL(Context context) {
        PackageManager packageManager = context.getPackageManager();
        try {
            int versionCode = packageManager.getPackageInfo("com.facebook.katana", 0).versionCode;

            boolean activated =  packageManager.getApplicationInfo("com.facebook.katana", 0).enabled;
            if(activated){
                if ((versionCode >= 3002850)) { 
                    return "fb://facewebmodal/f?href=" + FACEBOOK_URL;
                } else { 
                    return "fb://page/" + FACEBOOK_PAGE_ID;
                }
            }else{
                return FACEBOOK_URL;
            }
         } catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) {
            return FACEBOOK_URL; 
        }
    }

The only added thing is to look if the app is disabled or not if it is disabled the app will call the webbrowser!

Adding Image to xCode by dragging it from File

For xCode 10, first you need to add the image in your assetsCatalogue and then type this:

let imageView = UIImageView(image: #imageLiteral(resourceName: "type the name of your image here..."))

For beginners, let imageView is the name of the UIImageView object we are about to create.

An example for embedding an image into a viewControler file would look like this:

import UIKit

class TutorialViewCotroller: UIViewController {
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        let imageView = UIImageView(image: #imageLiteral(resourceName: "intoImage"))
        view.addSubview(imageView)
    }
}

Please notice that I did not use any extension for the image file name, as in my case it is a group of images.

Calling Javascript from a html form

Everything seems to be perfect in your code except the fact that handleClick() isn't working because this function lacks a parameter in its function call invocation(but the function definition within has an argument which makes a function mismatch to occur).

The following is a sample working code for calculating all semester's total marks and corresponding grade. It demonstrates the use of a JavaScript function(call) within a html file and also solves the problem you are facing.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title> Semester Results </title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1> Semester Marks </h1> <br> 
    <script type = "text/javascript">
        function checkMarks(total)
        {
            document.write("<h1> Final Result !!! </h1><br>");
            document.write("Total Marks = " + total + "<br><br>");
            var avg = total / 6.0;
            document.write("CGPA = " + (avg / 10.0).toFixed(2) + "<br><br>");
            if(avg >= 90)
                document.write("Grade = A");
            else if(avg >= 80)
                document.write("Grade = B");
            else if(avg >= 70)
                document.write("Grade = C");
            else if(avg >= 60)
                document.write("Grade = D");
            else if(avg >= 50)
                document.write("Grade = Pass");
            else
                document.write("Grade = Fail");
       }
    </script>
    <form name = "myform" action = "javascript:checkMarks(Number(s1.value) + Number(s2.value) + Number(s3.value) + Number(s4.value) + Number(s5.value) + Number(s6.value))"/>
        Semester 1:  <input type = "text" id = "s1"/> <br><br>
        Semester 2:  <input type = "text" id = "s2"/> <br><br>
        Semester 3:  <input type = "text" id = "s3"/> <br><br>
        Semester 4:  <input type = "text" id = "s4"/> <br><br>
        Semester 5:  <input type = "text" id = "s5"/> <br><br>
        Semester 6:  <input type = "text" id = "s6"/> <br><br><br>
        <input type = "submit" value = "Submit"/>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

Datatables - Search Box outside datatable

More recent versions have a different syntax:

var table = $('#example').DataTable();

// #myInput is a <input type="text"> element
$('#myInput').on('keyup change', function () {
    table.search(this.value).draw();
});

Note that this example uses the variable table assigned when datatables is first initialised. If you don't have this variable available, simply use:

var table = $('#example').dataTable().api();

// #myInput is a <input type="text"> element
$('#myInput').on('keyup change', function () {
    table.search(this.value).draw();
});

Since: DataTables 1.10

how to bypass Access-Control-Allow-Origin?

Okay, but you all know that the * is a wildcard and allows cross site scripting from every domain?

You would like to send multiple Access-Control-Allow-Origin headers for every site that's allowed to - but unfortunately its officially not supported to send multiple Access-Control-Allow-Origin headers, or to put in multiple origins.

You can solve this by checking the origin, and sending back that one in the header, if it is allowed:

$origin = $_SERVER['HTTP_ORIGIN'];
$allowed_domains = [
    'http://mysite1.com',
    'https://www.mysite2.com',
    'http://www.mysite2.com',
];

if (in_array($origin, $allowed_domains)) {
    header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: ' . $origin);
}

Thats much safer. You might want to edit the matching and change it to a manual function with some regex, or something like that. At least this will only send back 1 header, and you will be sure its the one that the request came from. Please do note that all HTTP headers can be spoofed, but this header is for the client's protection. Don't protect your own data with those values. If you want to know more, read up a bit on CORS and CSRF.

Why is it safer?

Allowing access from other locations then your own trusted site allows for session highjacking. I'm going to go with a little example - image Facebook allows a wildcard origin - this means that you can make your own website somewhere, and make it fire AJAX calls (or open iframes) to facebook. This means you can grab the logged in info of the facebook of a visitor of your website. Even worse - you can script POST requests and post data on someone's facebook - just while they are browsing your website.

Be very cautious when using the ACAO headers!

Programmatically stop execution of python script?

sys.exit() will do exactly what you want.

import sys
sys.exit("Error message")

Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManagerServerErrorException: An unknown error occurred while processing the request on the server."

I also faced the same issue , and none of these worked. In my case this was fixed by adding these lines in config file.

<appSettings>
  <add key="aspnet:MaxHttpCollectionKeys" value="100000" />
</appSettings>

<system.web.extensions>
  <scripting>   
    <scriptResourceHandler enableCompression="false" enableCaching="true"/>       
  </scripting>
</system.web.extensions>

How to add image in a TextView text?

Try this ..

How to start a stopped Docker container with a different command?

I took @Dmitriusan's answer and made it into an alias:

alias docker-run-prev-container='prev_container_id="$(docker ps -aq | head -n1)" && docker commit "$prev_container_id" "prev_container/$prev_container_id" && docker run -it --entrypoint=bash "prev_container/$prev_container_id"'

Add this into your ~/.bashrc aliases file, and you'll have a nifty new docker-run-prev-container alias which'll drop you into a shell in the previous container.

Helpful for debugging failed docker builds.

Network tools that simulate slow network connection

Install a .NET windows service without InstallUtil.exe

Yes, that is fully possible (i.e. I do exactly this); you just need to reference the right dll (System.ServiceProcess.dll) and add an installer class...

Here's an example:

[RunInstaller(true)]
public sealed class MyServiceInstallerProcess : ServiceProcessInstaller
{
    public MyServiceInstallerProcess()
    {
        this.Account = ServiceAccount.NetworkService;
    }
}

[RunInstaller(true)]
public sealed class MyServiceInstaller : ServiceInstaller
{
    public MyServiceInstaller()
    {
        this.Description = "Service Description";
        this.DisplayName = "Service Name";
        this.ServiceName = "ServiceName";
        this.StartType = System.ServiceProcess.ServiceStartMode.Automatic;
    }
}

static void Install(bool undo, string[] args)
{
    try
    {
        Console.WriteLine(undo ? "uninstalling" : "installing");
        using (AssemblyInstaller inst = new AssemblyInstaller(typeof(Program).Assembly, args))
        {
            IDictionary state = new Hashtable();
            inst.UseNewContext = true;
            try
            {
                if (undo)
                {
                    inst.Uninstall(state);
                }
                else
                {
                    inst.Install(state);
                    inst.Commit(state);
                }
            }
            catch
            {
                try
                {
                    inst.Rollback(state);
                }
                catch { }

CSS Display an Image Resized and Cropped

You can use Kodem's Image Resize Service. You can resize any image with just a http call. Can be used casually in the browser or used in your production app.

Upload the image somewhere you prefer (S3, imgur etc.)
Plug it into your dedicated API url (from our dashboard)

Fade In on Scroll Down, Fade Out on Scroll Up - based on element position in window

The reason your attempt wasn't working, is because the two animations (fade-in and fade-out) were working against each other.

Right before an object became visible, it was still invisible and so the animation for fading-out would run. Then, the fraction of a second later when that same object had become visible, the fade-in animation would try to run, but the fade-out was still running. So they would work against each other and you would see nothing.

Eventually the object would become visible (most of the time), but it would take a while. And if you would scroll down by using the arrow-button at the button of the scrollbar, the animation would sort of work, because you would scroll using bigger increments, creating less scroll-events.

Enough explanation, the solution (JS, CSS, HTML):

_x000D_

$(window).on("load",function() {_x000D_
  $(window).scroll(function() {_x000D_
    var windowBottom = $(this).scrollTop() + $(this).innerHeight();_x000D_
    $(".fade").each(function() {_x000D_
      /* Check the location of each desired element */_x000D_
      var objectBottom = $(this).offset().top + $(this).outerHeight();_x000D_
      _x000D_
      /* If the element is completely within bounds of the window, fade it in */_x000D_
      if (objectBottom < windowBottom) { //object comes into view (scrolling down)_x000D_

I wrapped the fade-codeline in an if-clause: if ($(this).css("opacity")==0) {...}. This makes sure the object is only faded in when the opacity is 0. Same goes for fading out. And this prevents the fade-in and fade-out from working against each other, because now there's ever only one of the two running at one time on an object.
I changed .animate() to .fadeTo(). It's jQuery's specialized function for opacity, a lot shorter to write and probably lighter than animate.
I changed .position() to .offset(). This always calculates relative to the body, whereas position is relative to the parent. For your case I believe offset is the way to go.
I changed $(window).height() to $(window).innerHeight(). The latter is more reliable in my experience.
Directly after the scroll-handler, I invoke that handler once on page-load with $(window).scroll();. Now you can give all desired objects on the page the .fade class, and objects that should be invisible at page-load, will be faded out immediately.
I removed #container from both HTML and CSS, because (at least for this answer) it isn't necessary. (I thought maybe you needed the height:2000px because you used .position() instead of .offset(), otherwise I don't know. Feel free of course to leave it in your code.)

UPDATE

If you want opacity values other than 0 and 1, use the following code:

_x000D_

$(window).on("load",function() {_x000D_
  function fade(pageLoad) {_x000D_
    var windowBottom = $(window).scrollTop() + $(window).innerHeight();_x000D_

      /* Check the location of each desired element */_x000D_
      var objectBottom = $(this).offset().top + $(this).outerHeight();_x000D_
      _x000D_
      /* If the element is completely within bounds of the window, fade it in */_x000D_
      if (objectBottom < windowBottom) { //object comes into view (scrolling down)_x000D_
        if ($(this).css("opacity")<=min+threshold || pageLoad) {$(this).fadeTo(500,max);}_x000D_
      } else { //object goes out of view (scrolling up)_x000D_
        if ($(this).css("opacity")>=max-threshold || pageLoad) {$(this).fadeTo(500,min);}_x000D_

I added a threshold to the if-clause, see explanation below.
I created variables for the threshold and for min/max at the start of the function. In the rest of the function these variables are referenced. This way, if you ever want to change the values again, you only have to do it in one place.
I also added || pageLoad to the if-clause. This was necessary to make sure all objects are faded to the correct opacity on page-load. pageLoad is a boolean that is send along as an argument when fade() is invoked.
I had to put the fade-code inside the extra function fade() {...}, in order to be able to send along the pageLoad boolean when the scroll-handler is invoked.
I did't see any other way to do this, if anyone else does, please leave a comment.

Explanation:
The reason the code in your fiddle didn't work, is because the actual opacity values are always a little off from the value you set it to. So if you set the opacity to 0.3, the actual value (in this case) is 0.300000011920929. That's just one of those little bugs you have to learn along the way by trail and error. That's why this if-clause won't work: if ($(this).css("opacity") == 0.3) {...}.

I added a threshold, to take that difference into account: == 0.3 becomes <= 0.31.
(I've set the threshold to 0.01, this can be changed of course, just as long as the actual opacity will fall between the set value and this threshold.)

The operators are now changed from == to <= and >=.

UPDATE 2:

If you want to fade the elements based on their visible percentage, use the following code:

_x000D_

$(window).on("load",function() {_x000D_
  function fade(pageLoad) {_x000D_
    var windowTop=$(window).scrollTop(), windowBottom=windowTop+$(window).innerHeight();_x000D_
    var min=0.3, max=0.7, threshold=0.01;_x000D_
    _x000D_
    $(".fade").each(function() {_x000D_
      /* Check the location of each desired element */_x000D_
      var objectHeight=$(this).outerHeight(), objectTop=$(this).offset().top, objectBottom=$(this).offset().top+objectHeight;_x000D_
      _x000D_
      /* Fade element in/out based on its visible percentage */_x000D_
      if (objectTop < windowTop) {_x000D_
        if (objectBottom > windowTop) {$(this).fadeTo(0,min+((max-min)*((objectBottom-windowTop)/objectHeight)));}_x000D_
        else if ($(this).css("opacity")>=min+threshold || pageLoad) {$(this).fadeTo(0,min);}_x000D_
      } else if (objectBottom > windowBottom) {_x000D_
        if (objectTop < windowBottom) {$(this).fadeTo(0,min+((max-min)*((windowBottom-objectTop)/objectHeight)));}_x000D_

Difference between Visibility.Collapsed and Visibility.Hidden

Even though a bit old thread, for those who still looking for the differences:

Aside from layout (space) taken in Hidden and not taken in Collapsed, there is another difference.

If we have custom controls inside this 'Collapsed' main control, the next time we set it to Visible, it will "load" all custom controls. It will not pre-load when window is started.

As for 'Hidden', it will load all custom controls + main control which we set as hidden when the "window" is started.

Can we update primary key values of a table?

How to unstage large number of files without deleting the content

If you have a pristine repo (or HEAD isn't set)^[1] you could simply

rm .git/index

Of course, this will require you to re-add the files that you did want to be added.

^[1] Note (as explained in the comments) this would usually only happen when the repo is brand-new ("pristine") or if no commits have been made. More technically, whenever there is no checkout or work-tree.

Difference between e.target and e.currentTarget

Ben is completely correct in his answer - so keep what he says in mind. What I'm about to tell you isn't a full explanation, but it's a very easy way to remember how e.target, e.currentTarget work in relation to mouse events and the display list:

e.target = The thing under the mouse (as ben says... the thing that triggers the event). e.currentTarget = The thing before the dot... (see below)

So if you have 10 buttons inside a clip with an instance name of "btns" and you do:

btns.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OVER, onOver);
// btns = the thing before the dot of an addEventListener call
function onOver(e:MouseEvent):void{
  trace(e.target.name, e.currentTarget.name);
}

e.target will be one of the 10 buttons and e.currentTarget will always be the "btns" clip.

It's worth noting that if you changed the MouseEvent to a ROLL_OVER or set the property btns.mouseChildren to false, e.target and e.currentTarget will both always be "btns".

How do you check if a variable is an array in JavaScript?

In Crockford's JavaScript The Good Parts, there is a function to check if the given argument is an array:

var is_array = function (value) {
    return value &&
        typeof value === 'object' &&
        typeof value.length === 'number' &&
        typeof value.splice === 'function' &&
        !(value.propertyIsEnumerable('length'));
};

He explains:

First, we ask if the value is truthy. We do this to reject null and other falsy values. Second, we ask if the typeof value is 'object'. This will be true for objects, arrays, and (weirdly) null. Third, we ask if the value has a length property that is a number. This will always be true for arrays, but usually not for objects. Fourth, we ask if the value contains a splice method. This again will be true for all arrays. Finally, we ask if the length property is enumerable (will length be produced by a for in loop?). That will be false for all arrays. This is the most reliable test for arrayness that I have found. It is unfortunate that it is so complicated.

Android Support Design TabLayout: Gravity Center and Mode Scrollable

I think a better approach will be to set app:tabMode="auto" and app:tabGravity="fill" because setting tabMode to fixed can make headings congested and cause headings to occupy multiple lines on the other side setting it to scrollable could make them leave spaces at the end in some screen sizes. manually setting tabMode would give a problem when dealing with multiple screen sizes

    <com.google.android.material.tabs.TabLayout
    android:id="@+id/tabLayout"       
    app:tabGravity="fill"
    android:textAlignment="center"
    app:tabMode="auto"
    />

The easiest way to transform collection to array?

With JDK/11, an alternate way of converting a Collection<Foo> to an Foo[] could be to make use of Collection.toArray(IntFunction<T[]> generator) as:

Foo[] foos = fooCollection.toArray(new Foo[0]); // before JDK 11
Foo[] updatedFoos = fooCollection.toArray(Foo[]::new); // after JDK 11

As explained by @Stuart on the mailing list(emphasis mine), the performance of this should essentially be the same as that of the existing Collection.toArray(new T[0]) --

The upshot is that implementations that use Arrays.copyOf() are the fastest, probably because it's an intrinsic.

It can avoid zero-filling the freshly allocated array because it knows the entire array contents will be overwritten. This is true regardless of what the public API looks like.

The implementation of the API within the JDK reads:

default <T> T[] toArray(IntFunction<T[]> generator) {
    return toArray(generator.apply(0));
}

The default implementation calls generator.apply(0) to get a zero-length array and then simply calls toArray(T[]). This goes through the Arrays.copyOf() fast path, so it's essentially the same speed as toArray(new T[0]).

Note:- Just that the API use shall be guided along with a backward incompatibility when used for code with null values e.g. toArray(null) since these calls would now be ambiguous because of existing toArray(T[] a) and would fail to compile.

Check if a process is running or not on Windows with Python

Lock files are generally not used on Windows (and rarely on Unix). Typically when a Windows program wants to see if another instance of itself is already running, it will call FindWindow with a known title or class name.

def iTunesRunning():
    import win32ui
    # may need FindWindow("iTunes", None) or FindWindow(None, "iTunes")
    # or something similar
    if FindWindow("iTunes", "iTunes"):
        print "Found an iTunes window"
        return True

gcc makefile error: "No rule to make target ..."

One of frequent mistakes might be typo in another file name.

You example is quite straightforward but what may sometimes confuse are messages of make itself. Lets consider an example.

My folder contents is:

$ ls -1
another_file
index.md
makefile

Whereas my makefile looks like

all: index.html

%.html: %.md wrong_path_to_another_file
    @echo $@ $<

Although I do have index.md where it should be and there is no mistake in the name of it, the message from make will be

make: *** No rule to make target `index.html', needed by `all'.  Stop.

To be honest the message is confusing. It just says, that there is no rule. In fact, it means that the rule is wrong, but due to wildcard (pattern) rules make cannot determine what exactly caused the issue.

Lets alter makefile a little, which is to say replace patterns with explicit rules:

index.html: index.md wrong_path_to_another_file

And now the message we get will be:

make: *** No rule to make target `wrong_path_to_another_file', needed by `index.html'.  Stop.

Miracle! The following might be concluded:

Messages of make depends on rules and does not always point to the root of problems
There might be other problems in your makefile different from specified by this message

Now we've come up with the idea of checking other dependencies in a rule as well:

all: index.html

%.html: %.md another_file
    @echo $@ $<

Only this will provide us with the desired result:

$ make
index.html index.md

When to use LinkedList over ArrayList in Java?

It depends upon what operations you will be doing more on the List.

ArrayList is faster to access an indexed value. It is much worse when inserting or deleting objects.

To find out more, read any article that talks about the difference between arrays and linked lists.

use Lodash to sort array of object by value

You can use lodash sortBy (https://lodash.com/docs/4.17.4#sortBy).

Your code could be like:

const myArray = [  
   {  
      "id":25,
      "name":"Anakin Skywalker",
      "createdAt":"2017-04-12T12:48:55.000Z",
      "updatedAt":"2017-04-12T12:48:55.000Z"
   },
   {  
      "id":1,
      "name":"Luke Skywalker",
      "createdAt":"2017-04-12T11:25:03.000Z",
      "updatedAt":"2017-04-12T11:25:03.000Z"
   }
]

const myOrderedArray = _.sortBy(myArray, o => o.name)

    {
        object inputs;
        context.OwinContext.Environment.TryGetValue("Microsoft.Owin.Form#collection", out inputs);

        var grantType = ((FormCollection)inputs)?.GetValues("grant_type");

        var grant = grantType.FirstOrDefault();

        if (grant == null || grant.Equals("refresh_token")) return;

        context.Ticket.Properties.ExpiresUtc = DateTime.UtcNow.AddDays(Constants.RefreshTokenExpiryInDays);

        context.SetToken(context.SerializeTicket());
    }

    public void Receive(AuthenticationTokenReceiveContext context)
    {
        context.DeserializeTicket(context.Token);

        if (context.Ticket == null)
        {
            context.Response.StatusCode = 400;
            context.Response.ContentType = "application/json";
            context.Response.ReasonPhrase = "invalid token";
            return;
        }

Can I prevent text in a div block from overflowing?

I guess you should start with the basics from w3

https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_text-overflow.asp

div {
    white-space: nowrap; 
    overflow: hidden;
    text-overflow: ellipsis;
}

Change Bootstrap input focus blue glow

Simple one

To remove it:

.form-control, .btn {

    outline: none !important;
}

To change it

.form-control, .btn {
    box-shadow: new-value !important;
    outline: new-value !important;
}

You can use dd to extract arbitrary chunks of bytes.

For example,

dd skip=1234 count=5 bs=1

would copy bytes 1235 to 1239 from its input to its output, and discard the rest.

To just get the first five bytes from standard input, do:

dd count=5 bs=1

Note that, if you want to specify the input file name, dd has old-fashioned argument parsing, so you would do:

dd count=5 bs=1 if=filename

Note also that dd verbosely announces what it did, so to toss that away, do:

dd count=5 bs=1 2>&-

dd count=5 bs=1 2>/dev/null

Find the unique values in a column and then sort them

Another way is using set data type.

Some characteristic of Sets: Sets are unordered, can include mixed data types, elements in a set cannot be repeated, are mutable.

Solving your question:

df = pd.DataFrame({'A':[1,1,3,2,6,2,8]})
sorted(set(df.A))

The answer in List type:

[1, 2, 3, 6, 8]

fill an array in C#

Say you want to fill with number 13.

int[] myarr = Enumerable.Range(0, 10).Select(n => 13).ToArray();

List<int> myarr = Enumerable.Range(0,10).Select(n => 13).ToList();

if you prefer a list.

List directory tree structure in python?

A solution without your indentation:

for path, dirs, files in os.walk(given_path):
  print path
  for f in files:
    print f

os.walk already does the top-down, depth-first walk you are looking for.

Ignoring the dirs list prevents the overlapping you mention.

This works for me.

Why use deflate instead of gzip for text files served by Apache?

On Ubuntu with Apache2 and the deflate module already installed (which it is by default), you can enable ~~deflate~~ gzip compression in two easy steps:

a2enmod deflate
/etc/init.d/apache2 force-reload

And you're away! I found pages I served over my adsl connection loaded much faster.

Edit: As per @GertvandenBerg's comment, this enables gzip compression, not deflate.

Visual Studio 64 bit?

Is there any 64 bit Visual Studio at all?

Yes literally there is one called "Visual Studio" and is 64bit, but well,, on Mac not on Windows

Why not?

Decision making is electro-chemical reaction made in our brain and that have an activation point (Nerdest answer I can come up with, but follow). Same situation happened in history: Windows 64!...

So in order to answer this fully I want you to remember old days. Imagine reasons for "why not we see 64bit Windows" are there at the time. I think at the time for Windows64 they had exact same reasons others have enlisted here about "reasons why not 64bit VS on windows" were on "reasons why not 64bit Windows" too. Then why they did start development for Windows 64bit? Simple! If they didn't succeed in making 64bit Windows I bet M$ would have been a history nowadays. If same reasons forcing M$ making 64bit Windows starts to appear on need for 64Bit VS then I bet we will see 64bit VS, even though very same reasons everyone else here enlisted will stay same! In time the limitations of 32bit may hit VS as well, so most likely something like below start to happen:

Visual Studio will drop 32bit support and become 64bit,
Visual Studio Code will take it's place instead,
Visual Studio will have similar functionality like WOW64 for old extensions which is I believe unlikely to happen.

I put my bets on Visual Studio Code taking the place in time; I guess bifurcation point for it will be some CPU manufacturer X starts to compete x86_64 architecture taking its place on mainstream market for laptop and/or workstation,

Pressing Ctrl + A in Selenium WebDriver

One more solution (in Java, because you didn't tell us your language - but it works the same way in all languages with Keys class):

String selectAll = Keys.chord(Keys.CONTROL, "a");
driver.findElement(By.whatever("anything")).sendKeys(selectAll);

You can use this to select the whole text in an <input>, or on the whole page (just find the html element and send this to it).

For using Selenium Ruby bindings:

There's no chord() method in the Keys class in Ruby bindings. Therefore, as suggested by Hari Reddy, you'll have to use Selenium Advanced user interactions API, see ActionBuilder:

    driver.action.key_down(:control)
                 .send_keys("a")
                 .key_up(:control)
                 .perform

Get Date Object In UTC format in Java

A Date doesn't have any time zone. What you're seeing is only the formatting of the date by the Date.toString() method, which uses your local timezone, always, to transform the timezone-agnostic date into a String that you can understand.

If you want to display the timezone-agnostic date as a string using the UTC timezone, then use a SimpleDateFormat with the UTC timezone (as you're already doing in your question).

In other terms, the timezone is not a property of the date. It's a property of the format used to transform the date into a string.

Case-Insensitive List Search

I realise this is an old post, but just in case anyone else is looking, you can use Contains by providing the case insensitive string equality comparer like so:

using System.Linq;

// ...

if (testList.Contains(keyword, StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
{
    Console.WriteLine("Keyword Exists");
}

This has been available since .net 2.0 according to msdn.

How can I query for null values in entity framework?

Since Entity Framework 5.0 you can use following code in order to solve your issue:

public abstract class YourContext : DbContext
{
  public YourContext()
  {
    (this as IObjectContextAdapter).ObjectContext.ContextOptions.UseCSharpNullComparisonBehavior = true;
  }
}

This should solve your problems as Entity Framerwork will use 'C# like' null comparison.

HTTP client timeout and server timeout

According to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=592284, the pref network.http.connection-retry-timeout controls the amount of time in ms (Milliseconds !) to wait for success on the initial connection before beginning the second one. Setting it to 0 disables the parallel connection.

Python MySQLdb TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting

I encountered this error while executing SELECT * FROM table; I traced the error to cursor.py line 195.

if args is not None:
        if isinstance(args, dict):
            nargs = {}
            for key, item in args.items():
                if isinstance(key, unicode):
                    key = key.encode(db.encoding)
                nargs[key] = db.literal(item)
            args = nargs
        else:
            args = tuple(map(db.literal, args))
        try:
            query = query % args
        except TypeError as m:
            raise ProgrammingError(str(m))

Given that I am entering any extra parameters, I got rid of all of "if args ..." branch. Now it works.

What is secret key for JWT based authentication and how to generate it?

The algorithm (HS256) used to sign the JWT means that the secret is a symmetric key that is known by both the sender and the receiver. It is negotiated and distributed out of band. Hence, if you're the intended recipient of the token, the sender should have provided you with the secret out of band.

If you're the sender, you can use an arbitrary string of bytes as the secret, it can be generated or purposely chosen. You have to make sure that you provide the secret to the intended recipient out of band.

For the record, the 3 elements in the JWT are not base64-encoded but base64url-encoded, which is a variant of base64 encoding that results in a URL-safe value.

How to set x axis values in matplotlib python?

The scaling on your example figure is a bit strange but you can force it by plotting the index of each x-value and then setting the ticks to the data points:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
x = [0.00001,0.001,0.01,0.1,0.5,1,5]
# create an index for each tick position
xi = list(range(len(x)))
y = [0.945,0.885,0.893,0.9,0.996,1.25,1.19]
plt.ylim(0.8,1.4)
# plot the index for the x-values
plt.plot(xi, y, marker='o', linestyle='--', color='r', label='Square') 
plt.xlabel('x')
plt.ylabel('y') 
plt.xticks(xi, x)
plt.title('compare')
plt.legend() 
plt.show()

Auto select file in Solution Explorer from its open tab

I don't know if you can do it on-demand, but you can enable the option "Track Active Item in Solution Explorer" (Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions->General) which will always select the active tab item in the solution explorer.

403 Forbidden You don't have permission to access /folder-name/ on this server

under etc/apache2/apache2.conf, you can find one or more blocks that describe the server directories and permissions

As an example, this is the default configuration

<Directory /var/www/>
   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
   AllowOverride None
   Require all granted
</Directory>

you can replicate this but change the directory path /var/www/ with the new directory.

Finally, you need to restart the apache server, you can do that from a terminal with the command: sudo service apache2 restart

What to do with commit made in a detached head

In case of detached HEAD, commits work like normal, except no named branch gets updated. To get master branch updated with your committed changes, make a temporary branch where you are (this way the temporary branch will have all the committed changes you have made in the detached HEAD) , then switch to the master branch and merge the temporary branch with the master.

git branch  temp
git checkout master
git merge temp

How to refresh activity after changing language (Locale) inside application

This approach will work on all API level device.

Use Base Activity for attachBaseContext to set the locale language and extend this activity for all activities

open class  BaseAppCompactActivity() : AppCompatActivity() {

    override fun attachBaseContext(newBase: Context) {
        super.attachBaseContext(LocaleHelper.onAttach(newBase))    
    }

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)           
    }
}

Use Application attachBaseContext and onConfigurationChanged to set the locale language

public class MyApplication extends Application {
    private static MyApplication application;

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
    }

    public static MyApplication getApplication() {
        return application;
    }

    /**
     * overide to change local sothat language can be chnaged from android device  nogaut and above
     */
    @Override
    protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
        super.attachBaseContext(LocaleHelper.INSTANCE.onAttach(base));
    }

    @Override
    public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
        setLanguageFromNewConfig(newConfig);
        super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
    }

    /*** also handle chnage  language if  device language chnaged **/
    private void setLanguageFromNewConfig(Configuration newConfig){
        Prefs.putSaveLocaleLanguage(this,  selectedLocaleLanguage );
        LocaleHelper.INSTANCE.onAttach(this);
    }

Use Locale Helper for handling language changes, this approach work on all device

object LocaleHelper {
    private var defaultLanguage  :String = KycUtility.KYC_LANGUAGE.ENGLISH.languageCode

    fun onAttach(context: Context, defaultLanguage: String): Context {
        return setLocale(context, defaultLanguage)
    }



    fun setLocale(context: Context, language: String): Context {
        return if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.N) {
            updateResources(context, language)
        } else updateResourcesLegacy(context, language)

    }


    @TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.N)
    private fun updateResources(context: Context, language: String): Context {
        val locale = Locale(language)
        Locale.setDefault(locale)

        val configuration = context.getResources().getConfiguration()
        configuration.setLocale(locale)
        configuration.setLayoutDirection(locale)

        return context.createConfigurationContext(configuration)
    }

    private fun updateResourcesLegacy(context: Context, language: String): Context {
        val locale = Locale(language)
        Locale.setDefault(locale)

        val resources = context.getResources()

        val configuration = resources.getConfiguration()
        configuration.locale = locale
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR1) {
            configuration.setLayoutDirection(locale)
        }
        resources.updateConfiguration(configuration, resources.getDisplayMetrics())
        return context
    }
}

Find element in List<> that contains a value

Either use LINQ:

var value = MyList.First(item => item.name == "foo").value;

(This will just find the first match, of course. There are lots of options around this.)

Or use Find instead of FindIndex:

var value = MyList.Find(item => item.name == "foo").value;

I'd strongly suggest using LINQ though - it's a much more idiomatic approach these days.

(I'd also suggest following the .NET naming conventions.)

Eclipse does not start when I run the exe?

Insert images to XML file

XML is not a format for storing images, neither binary data. I think it all depends on how you want to use those images. If you are in a web application and would want to read them from there and display them, I would store the URLs. If you need to send them to another web endpoint, I would serialize them, rather than persisting manually in XML. Please explain what is the scenario.

Convert Datetime column from UTC to local time in select statement

There is no simple way to do this in a correct AND generic way.

First of all it must be understood that the offset depends on the date in question, the Time Zone AND DST. GetDate()-GetUTCDate only gives you the offset today at the server's TZ, which is not relevant.

I have seen only two working solution and I have search a lot.

1) A custom SQL function with a a couple of tables of base data such as Time Zones and DST rules per TZ. Working but not very elegant. I can't post it since I don't own the code.

EDIT: Here is an example of this method https://gist.github.com/drumsta/16b79cee6bc195cd89c8

2) Add a .net assembly to the db, .Net can do this very easily. This is working very well but the downside is that you need to configure several parameters on server level and the config is easily broken e.g. if you restore the database. I use this method but I cant post it since I don't own the code.

How can compare-and-swap be used for a wait-free mutual exclusion for any shared data structure?

The linked list holds operations on the shared data structure.

For example, if I have a stack, it will be manipulated with pushes and pops. The linked list would be a set of pushes and pops on the pseudo-shared stack. Each thread sharing that stack will actually have a local copy, and to get to the current shared state, it'll walk the linked list of operations, and apply each operation in order to its local copy of the stack. When it reaches the end of the linked list, its local copy holds the current state (though, of course, it's subject to becoming stale at any time).

In the traditional model, you'd have some sort of locks around each push and pop. Each thread would wait to obtain a lock, then do a push or pop, then release the lock.

In this model, each thread has a local snapshot of the stack, which it keeps synchronized with other threads' view of the stack by applying the operations in the linked list. When it wants to manipulate the stack, it doesn't try to manipulate it directly at all. Instead, it simply adds its push or pop operation to the linked list, so all the other threads can/will see that operation and they can all stay in sync. Then, of course, it applies the operations in the linked list, and when (for example) there's a pop it checks which thread asked for the pop. It uses the popped item if and only if it's the thread that requested this particular pop.

Create Log File in Powershell

You might just want to use the new TUN.Logging PowerShell module, this can also send a log mail. Just use the Start-Log and/or Start-MailLog cmdlets to start logging and then just use Write-HostLog, Write-WarningLog, Write-VerboseLog, Write-ErrorLog etc. to write to console and log file/mail. Then call Send-Log and/or Stop-Log at the end and voila, you got your logging. Just install it from the PowerShell Gallery via

Install-Module -Name TUN.Logging

Or just follow the link: https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/TUN.Logging

Documentation of the module can be found here: https://github.com/echalone/TUN/blob/master/PowerShell/Modules/TUN.Logging/TUN.Logging.md

powershell 2.0 try catch how to access the exception

Try something like this:

try {
    $w = New-Object net.WebClient
    $d = $w.downloadString('http://foo')
}
catch [Net.WebException] {
    Write-Host $_.Exception.ToString()
}

The exception is in the $_ variable. You might explore $_ like this:

try {
    $w = New-Object net.WebClient
    $d = $w.downloadString('http://foo')
}
catch [Net.WebException] {
    $_ | fl * -Force
}

I think it will give you all the info you need.

What are naming conventions for MongoDB?

DATABASE

camelCase
append DB on the end of name
make singular (collections are plural)

MongoDB states a nice example:

To select a database to use, in the mongo shell, issue the use <db> statement, as in the following example:

use myDB
use myNewDB

Content from: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/core/databases-and-collections/#databases

COLLECTIONS

Lowercase names: avoids case sensitivity issues, MongoDB collection names are case sensitive.

Plural: more obvious to label a collection of something as the plural, e.g. "files" rather than "file"

>No word separators: Avoids issues where different people (incorrectly) separate words (username <-> user_name, first_name <->
firstname). This one is up for debate according to a few people
around here but provided the argument is isolated to collection names I don't think it should be ;) If you find yourself improving the
readability of your collection name by adding underscores or
camelCasing your collection name is probably too long or should use
periods as appropriate which is the standard for collection
categorization.

Dot notation for higher detail collections: Gives some indication to how collections are related. For example you can be reasonably sure you could delete "users.pagevisits" if you deleted "users", provided the people that designed the schema did a good job.

Content from: http://www.tutespace.com/2016/03/schema-design-and-naming-conventions-in.html

For collections I'm following these suggested patterns until I find official MongoDB documentation.

How to check for DLL dependency?

NDepend was already mentioned by Jesse (if you analyze .NET code) but let's explain exactly how it can help.

Is there a program/script that can scan an executable for DLL dependencies or execute the program in a "clean" DLL-free environment for testing to prevent these oops situations?

In the NDepend Project Properties panel, you can define what application assemblies to analyze (in green) and NDepend will infer Third-Party assemblies used by application ones (in blue). A list of directories where to search application and third-party assemblies is provided.

If a third-party assembly is not found in these directories, it will be in error mode. For example, if I remove the .NET Fx directory C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319, I can see that .NET Fx third-party assemblies are not resolved:

How to add an action to a UIAlertView button using Swift iOS

Swift 3.0 Version of Jake's Answer

// Create the alert controller

let alertController = UIAlertController(title: "Alert!", message: "There is no items for the current user", preferredStyle: .alert)

            // Create the actions
            let okAction = UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: UIAlertActionStyle.default) {
                UIAlertAction in
                NSLog("OK Pressed")
            }
            let cancelAction = UIAlertAction(title: "Cancel", style: UIAlertActionStyle.cancel) {
                UIAlertAction in
                NSLog("Cancel Pressed")
            }

            // Add the actions
            alertController.addAction(okAction)
            alertController.addAction(cancelAction)

            // Present the controller
            self.present(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)

OpenSSL: unable to verify the first certificate for Experian URL

The first error message is telling you more about the problem:

verify error:num=20:unable to get local issuer certificate

The issuing certificate authority of the end entity server certificate is

VeriSign Class 3 Secure Server CA - G3

Look closely in your CA file - you will not find this certificate since it is an intermediary CA - what you found was a similar-named G3 Public Primary CA of VeriSign.

But why does the other connection succeed, but this one doesn't? The problem is a misconfiguration of the servers (see for yourself using the -debug option). The "good" server sends the entire certificate chain during the handshake, therefore providing you with the necessary intermediate certificates.

But the server that is failing sends you only the end entity certificate, and OpenSSL is not capable of downloading the missing intermediate certificate "on the fly" (which would be possible by interpreting the Authority Information Access extension). Therefore your attempt fails using s_client but it would succeed nevertheless if you browse to the same URL using e.g. FireFox (which does support the "certificate discovery" feature).

Your options to solve the problem are either fixing this on the server side by making the server send the entire chain, too, or by passing the missing intermediate certificate to OpenSSL as a client-side parameter.

Laravel Check If Related Model Exists

Not sure if this has changed in Laravel 5, but the accepted answer using count($data->$relation) didn't work for me, as the very act of accessing the relation property caused it to be loaded.

In the end, a straightforward isset($data->$relation) did the trick for me.

Trying to fire the onload event on script tag

I faced a similar problem, trying to test if jQuery is already present on a page, and if not force it's load, and then execute a function. I tried with @David Hellsing workaround, but with no chance for my needs. In fact, the onload instruction was immediately evaluated, and then the $ usage inside this function was not yet possible (yes, the huggly "$ is not a function." ^^).

So, I referred to this article : https://developer.mozilla.org/fr/docs/Web/Events/load and attached a event listener to my script object.

var script = document.createElement('script');
script.type = "text/javascript";
script.addEventListener("load", function(event) {
    console.log("script loaded :)");
    onjqloaded();
});
script.src = "https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js";
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(script);

For my needs, it works fine now. Hope this can help others :)

Generate MD5 hash string with T-SQL

For data up to 8000 characters use:

CONVERT(VARCHAR(32), HashBytes('MD5', '[email protected]'), 2)

Demo

For binary data (without the limit of 8000 bytes) use:

CONVERT(VARCHAR(32), master.sys.fn_repl_hash_binary(@binary_data), 2)

Is there a difference between "==" and "is"?

As the other people in this post answer the question in details the difference between == and is for comparing Objects or variables, I would emphasize mainly the comparison between is and == for strings which can give different results and I would urge programmers to carefully use them.

For string comparison, make sure to use == instead of is:

str = 'hello'
if (str is 'hello'):
    print ('str is hello')
if (str == 'hello'):
    print ('str == hello')

Out:

str is hello
str == hello

But in the below example == and is will get different results:

str2 = 'hello sam'
    if (str2 is 'hello sam'):
        print ('str2 is hello sam')
    if (str2 == 'hello sam'):
        print ('str2 == hello sam')

Out:

str2 == hello sam

Conclusion and Analysis:

Use is carefully to compare between strings. Since is for comparing objects and since in Python 3+ every variable such as string interpret as an object, let's see what happened in above paragraphs.

In python there is id function that shows a unique constant of an object during its lifetime. This id is using in back-end of Python interpreter to compare two objects using is keyword.

str = 'hello'
id('hello')
> 140039832615152
id(str)
> 140039832615152

But

str2 = 'hello sam'
id('hello sam')
> 140039832615536
id(str2)
> 140039832615792

How to sort a Ruby Hash by number value?

Already answered but still. Change your code to:

metrics.sort {|a1,a2| a2[1].to_i <=> a1[1].to_i }

Converted to strings along the way or not, this will do the job.

How to copy directory recursively in python and overwrite all?

Here's a simple solution to recursively overwrite a destination with a source, creating any necessary directories as it goes. This does not handle symlinks, but it would be a simple extension (see answer by @Michael above).

def recursive_overwrite(src, dest, ignore=None):
    if os.path.isdir(src):
        if not os.path.isdir(dest):
            os.makedirs(dest)
        files = os.listdir(src)
        if ignore is not None:
            ignored = ignore(src, files)
        else:
            ignored = set()
        for f in files:
            if f not in ignored:
                recursive_overwrite(os.path.join(src, f), 
                                    os.path.join(dest, f), 
                                    ignore)
    else:
        shutil.copyfile(src, dest)

How to add/subtract dates with JavaScript?

The JavaScript Date object can help here.

The first step is to convert those strings to Date instances. That's easily done:

var str = "06/07/2012"; // E.g., "mm/dd/yyyy";
var dt = new Date(parseInt(str.substring(6), 10),        // Year
                  parseInt(str.substring(0, 2), 10) - 1, // Month (0-11)
                  parseInt(str.substring(3, 5), 10));    // Day

Then you can do all sorts of useful calculations. JavaScript dates understand leap years and such. They use an idealized concept of "day" which is exactly 86,400 seconds long. Their underlying value is the number of milliseconds since The Epoch (midnight, Jan 1st, 1970); it can be a negative number for dates prior to The Epoch.

Difference Between ViewResult() and ActionResult()

While other answers have noted the differences correctly, note that if you are in fact returning a ViewResult only it is better to return the more specific type rather than the base ActionResult type. An obvious exception to this principle is when your method returns multiple types deriving from ActionResult.

For a full discussion of the reasons behind this principle please see the related discussion here: Must ASP.NET MVC Controller Methods Return ActionResult?

Gradle store on local file system

Gradle caches artifacts in USER_HOME/.gradle folder. The compiled scripts are usually in the .gradle folder in your project folder.

If you can't find the cache, maybe it's because you have not cached any artifacts yet. You can always see where Gradle has cached artifacts with a simple script:

apply plugin: 'java'

repositories{
  mavenCentral()
}

dependencies{
  compile 'com.google.guava:guava:12.0'
}

task showMeCache << {
  configurations.compile.each { println it }
}

Now if you run gradle showMeCache it should download the deps into cache and print the full path.

How to find a value in an excel column by vba code Cells.Find

Just for sake of completeness, you can also use the same technique above with excel tables.

In the example below, I'm looking of a text in any cell of a Excel Table named "tblConfig", place in the sheet named Config that normally is set to be hidden. I'm accepting the defaults of the Find method.

Dim list As ListObject
Dim config As Worksheet
Dim cell as Range


Set config = Sheets("Config")
Set list = config.ListObjects("tblConfig")

'search in any cell of the data range of excel table
Set cell = list.DataBodyRange.Find(searchTerm)

If cell Is Nothing Then
    'when information is not found
Else
    'when information is found
End If

Python Flask, how to set content type

You can try the following method(python3.6.2):

case one:

@app.route('/hello')
def hello():

    headers={ 'content-type':'text/plain' ,'location':'http://www.stackoverflow'}
    response = make_response('<h1>hello world</h1>',301)
    response.headers = headers
    return response

case two:

@app.route('/hello')
def hello():

    headers={ 'content-type':'text/plain' ,'location':'http://www.stackoverflow.com'}
    return '<h1>hello world</h1>',301,headers

I am using Flask .And if you want to return json,you can write this:

import json # 
@app.route('/search/<keyword>')
def search(keyword):

    result = Book.search_by_keyword(keyword)
    return json.dumps(result),200,{'content-type':'application/json'}


from flask import jsonify
@app.route('/search/<keyword>')
def search(keyword):

    result = Book.search_by_keyword(keyword)
    return jsonify(result)
