Jpcap is a Java Library which enables you to Send and capture Packets.

var functionName = function() {} vs function functionName() {}

They are pretty similar with some small differences, first one is a variable which assigned to an anonymous function (Function Declaration) and second one is the normal way to create a function in JavaScript(Anonymous function Declaration), both has usage, cons and pros:

1. Function Expression

var functionOne = function() {
    // Some code
};

A Function Expression defines a function as a part of a larger expression syntax (typically a variable assignment ). Functions defined via Functions Expressions can be named or anonymous. Function Expressions must not start with “function” (hence the parentheses around the self invoking example below).

Assign a variable to a function, means no Hoisting, as we know functions in JavaScript can Hoist, means they can be called before they get declared, while variables need to be declared before getting access to them, so means in this case we can not access the function before where it's declared, also it could be a way that you write your functions, for the functions which return another function, this kind of declaration could make sense, also in ECMA6 & above you can assign this to an arrow function which can be used to call anonymous functions, also this way of declaring is a better way to create Constructor functions in JavaScript.

2. Function Declaration

function functionTwo() {
    // Some code
}

A Function Declaration defines a named function variable without requiring variable assignment. Function Declarations occur as standalone constructs and cannot be nested within non-function blocks. It’s helpful to think of them as siblings of Variable Declarations. Just as Variable Declarations must start with “var”, Function Declarations must begin with “function”.

This is the normal way of calling a function in JavaScript, this function can be called before you even declare it as in JavaScript all functions get Hoisted, but if you have 'use strict' this won't Hoist as expected, it's a good way to call all normal functions which are not big in lines and neither are a constructor function.

Using arrays or std::vectors in C++, what's the performance gap?

Preamble for micro-optimizer people

Remember:

"Programmers waste enormous amounts of time thinking about, or worrying about, the speed of noncritical parts of their programs, and these attempts at efficiency actually have a strong negative impact when debugging and maintenance are considered. We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of all evil. Yet we should not pass up our opportunities in that critical 3%".

(Thanks to metamorphosis for the full quote)

Don't use a C array instead of a vector (or whatever) just because you believe it's faster as it is supposed to be lower-level. You would be wrong.

Use by default vector (or the safe container adapted to your need), and then if your profiler says it is a problem, see if you can optimize it, either by using a better algorithm, or changing container.

This said, we can go back to the original question.

Static/Dynamic Array?

The C++ array classes are better behaved than the low-level C array because they know a lot about themselves, and can answer questions C arrays can't. They are able to clean after themselves. And more importantly, they are usually written using templates and/or inlining, which means that what appears to a lot of code in debug resolves to little or no code produced in release build, meaning no difference with their built-in less safe competition.

All in all, it falls on two categories:

Dynamic arrays

Using a pointer to a malloc-ed/new-ed array will be at best as fast as the std::vector version, and a lot less safe (see litb's post).

So use a std::vector.

Static arrays

Using a static array will be at best:

  • as fast as the std::array version
  • and a lot less safe.

So use a std::array.

Uninitialized memory

Sometimes, using a vector instead of a raw buffer incurs a visible cost because the vector will initialize the buffer at construction, while the code it replaces didn't, as remarked bernie by in his answer.

If this is the case, then you can handle it by using a unique_ptr instead of a vector or, if the case is not exceptional in your codeline, actually write a class buffer_owner that will own that memory, and give you easy and safe access to it, including bonuses like resizing it (using realloc?), or whatever you need.

What is href="#" and why is it used?

Unfortunately, the most common use of <a href="#"> is by lazy programmers who want clickable non-hyperlink javascript-coded elements that behave like anchors, but they can't be arsed to add cursor: pointer; or :hover styles to a class for their non-hyperlink elements, and are additionally too lazy to set href to javascript:void(0);.

The problem with this is that one <a href="#" onclick="some_function();"> or another inevitably ends up with a javascript error, and an anchor with an onclick javascript error always ends up following its href. Normally this ends up being an annoying jump to the top of the page, but in the case of sites using <base>, <a href="#"> is handled as <a href="[base href]/#">, resulting in an unexpected navigation. If any logable errors are being generated, you won't see them in the latter case unless you enable persistent logs.

If an anchor element is used as a non-anchor it should have its href set to javascript:void(0); for the sake of graceful degradation.

I just wasted two days debugging a random unexpected page redirect that should have simply refreshed the page, and finally tracked it down to a function raising the click event of an <a href="#">. Replacing the # with javascript:void(0); fixed it.

The first thing I'm doing Monday is purging the project of all instances of <a href="#">.

SQL Query with Join, Count and Where

You have to use GROUP BY so you will have multiple records returned,

SELECT  COUNT(*) TotalCount, 
        b.category_id, 
        b.category_name 
FROM    table1 a
        INNER JOIN table2 b
            ON a.category_id = b.category_id 
WHERE   a.colour <> 'red'
GROUP   BY b.category_id, b.category_name

How to call a method in MainActivity from another class?

What I have done with no memory leaks or lint warnings is to use @f.trajkovski's method, but instead of using MainActivity, use WeakReference<MainActivity> instead.

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
public static WeakReference<MainActivity> weakActivity;
// etc..
 public static MainActivity getmInstanceActivity() {
    return weakActivity.get();
}
}

Then in MainActivity OnCreate()

weakActivity = new WeakReference<>(MainActivity.this);

Then in another class

MainActivity.getmInstanceActivity().yourMethod();

Works like a charm

SQL Error with Order By in Subquery

You don't need order by in your sub query. Move it out into the main query, and include the column you want to order by in the subquery.

however, your query is just returning a count, so I don't see the point of the order by.

AngularJS access parent scope from child controller

Super easy and works, but not sure why....

ReactJS: "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token <"

If you have something like

Uncaught SyntaxError: embedded: Unexpected token

You probably missed a comma in a place like this:

  var CommentForm = React.createClass({
  getInitialState: function() {
      return {author: '', text: ''};

  }, // <---- DON'T FORGET THE COMMA

  render: function() {
      return (
      <form className="commentForm">
          <input type="text" placeholder="Nombre" />
          <input type="text" placeholder="Qué opina" />
          <input type="submit" value="Publicar" />

Convert string to BigDecimal in java

The BigDecimal(double) constructor can have unpredictable behaviors. It is preferable to use BigDecimal(String) or BigDecimal.valueOf(double).

System.out.println(new BigDecimal(135.69)); //135.68999999999999772626324556767940521240234375
System.out.println(new BigDecimal("135.69")); // 135.69
System.out.println(BigDecimal.valueOf(135.69)); // 135.69

The documentation for BigDecimal(double) explains in detail:

  1. The results of this constructor can be somewhat unpredictable. One might assume that writing new BigDecimal(0.1) in Java creates a BigDecimal which is exactly equal to 0.1 (an unscaled value of 1, with a scale of 1), but it is actually equal to 0.1000000000000000055511151231257827021181583404541015625. This is because 0.1 cannot be represented exactly as a double (or, for that matter, as a binary fraction of any finite length). Thus, the value that is being passed in to the constructor is not exactly equal to 0.1, appearances notwithstanding.
  2. The String constructor, on the other hand, is perfectly predictable: writing new BigDecimal("0.1") creates a BigDecimal which is exactly equal to 0.1, as one would expect. Therefore, it is generally recommended that the String constructor be used in preference to this one.
  3. When a double must be used as a source for a BigDecimal, note that this constructor provides an exact conversion; it does not give the same result as converting the double to a String using the Double.toString(double) method and then using the BigDecimal(String) constructor. To get that result, use the static valueOf(double) method.

Converting from longitude\latitude to Cartesian coordinates

In python3.x it can be done using :

# Converting lat/long to cartesian
import numpy as np

def get_cartesian(lat=None,lon=None):
    lat, lon = np.deg2rad(lat), np.deg2rad(lon)
    R = 6371 # radius of the earth
    x = R * np.cos(lat) * np.cos(lon)
    y = R * np.cos(lat) * np.sin(lon)
    z = R *np.sin(lat)
    return x,y,z

How to start up spring-boot application via command line?

If you're using gradle, you can use:

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'urlretrieve'

As you're using Python 3, there is no urllib module anymore. It has been split into several modules.

This would be equivalent to urlretrieve:

import urllib.request
data = urllib.request.urlretrieve("http://...")

urlretrieve behaves exactly the same way as it did in Python 2.x, so it'll work just fine.

Basically:

  • urlretrieve saves the file to a temporary file and returns a tuple (filename, headers)
  • urlopen returns a Request object whose read method returns a bytestring containing the file contents

How do I exclude Weekend days in a SQL Server query?

Assuming you're using SQL Server, use DATEPART with dw:

SELECT date_created
FROM your_table
WHERE DATEPART(dw, date_created) NOT IN (1, 7);

EDIT: I should point out that the actual numeric value returned by DATEPART(dw) is determined by the value set by using SET DATEFIRST:

get the margin size of an element with jquery

Exemple, for :

<div id="myBlock" style="margin: 10px 0px 15px 5px:"></div>

In this js code :

var myMarginTop = $("#myBlock").css("marginBottom");

The var becomes "15px", a string.

If you want an Integer, to avoid NaN (Not a Number), there is multiple ways.

The fastest is to use native js method :

var myMarginTop = parseInt( $("#myBlock").css("marginBottom") );

Deserialize a JSON array in C#

    public string Location;
}
public class Record
{
    public Person record;

How to debug heap corruption errors?

You can detect a lot of heap corruption problems by enabling Page Heap for your application . To do this you need to use gflags.exe that comes as a part of Debugging Tools For Windows

Run Gflags.exe and in the Image file options for your executable, check "Enable Page Heap" option.

Now restart your exe and attach to a debugger. With Page Heap enabled, the application will break into debugger whenever any heap corruption occurs.

How to compile for Windows on Linux with gcc/g++?

mingw32 exists as a package for Linux. You can cross-compile and -link Windows applications with it. There's a tutorial here at the Code::Blocks forum. Mind that the command changes to x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc-win32, for example.

Ubuntu, for example, has MinGW in its repositories:

$ apt-cache search mingw
[...]
g++-mingw-w64 - GNU C++ compiler for MinGW-w64
gcc-mingw-w64 - GNU C compiler for MinGW-w64
mingw-w64 - Development environment targeting 32- and 64-bit Windows

Adding values to an array in java

  • First line : array created.
  • Third line loop started from j = 1 to j = 28123
  • Fourth line you give the variable x value (0) each time the loop is accessed.
  • Fifth line you put the value of j in the index 0.
  • Sixth line you do increment to the value x by 1.(but it will be reset to 0 at line 4)

Recursion in Python? RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object

Python lacks the tail recursion optimizations common in functional languages like lisp. In Python, recursion is limited to 999 calls (see sys.getrecursionlimit).

If 999 depth is more than you are expecting, check if the implementation lacks a condition that stops recursion, or if this test may be wrong for some cases.

I dare to say that in Python, pure recursive algorithm implementations are not correct/safe. A fib() implementation limited to 999 is not really correct. It is always possible to convert recursive into iterative, and doing so is trivial.

It is not reached often because in many recursive algorithms the depth tend to be logarithmic. If it is not the case with your algorithm and you expect recursion deeper than 999 calls you have two options:

1) You can change the recursion limit with sys.setrecursionlimit(n) until the maximum allowed for your platform:

sys.setrecursionlimit(limit):

Set the maximum depth of the Python interpreter stack to limit. This limit prevents infinite recursion from causing an overflow of the C stack and crashing Python.

The highest possible limit is platform-dependent. A user may need to set the limit higher when she has a program that requires deep recursion and a platform that supports a higher limit. This should be done with care, because a too-high limit can lead to a crash.

2) You can try to convert the algorithm from recursive to iterative. If recursion depth is bigger than allowed by your platform, it is the only way to fix the problem. There are step by step instructions on the Internet and it should be a straightforward operation for someone with some CS education. If you are having trouble with that, post a new question so we can help.

PostgreSQL - query from bash script as database user 'postgres'

The safest way to pass commands to psql in a script is by piping a string or passing a here-doc.

The man docs for the -c/--command option goes into more detail when it should be avoided.

   -c command
   --command=command
       Specifies that psql is to execute one command string, command, and then exit. This is useful in shell scripts. Start-up files (psqlrc and ~/.psqlrc)
       are ignored with this option.

       command must be either a command string that is completely parsable by the server (i.e., it contains no psql-specific features), or a single
       backslash command. Thus you cannot mix SQL and psql meta-commands with this option. To achieve that, you could pipe the string into psql, for
       example: echo '\x \\ SELECT * FROM foo;' | psql. (\\ is the separator meta-command.)

       If the command string contains multiple SQL commands, they are processed in a single transaction, unless there are explicit BEGIN/COMMIT commands
       included in the string to divide it into multiple transactions. This is different from the behavior when the same string is fed to psql's standard
       input. Also, only the result of the last SQL command is returned.

       Because of these legacy behaviors, putting more than one command in the -c string often has unexpected results. It's better to feed multiple
       commands to psql's standard input, either using echo as illustrated above, or via a shell here-document, for example:

           psql <<EOF
           \x
           SELECT * FROM foo;
           EOF

How to silence output in a Bash script?

Redirect stderr to stdout

This will redirect the stderr (which is descriptor 2) to the file descriptor 1 which is the the stdout.

2>&1

Redirect stdout to File

Now when perform this you are redirecting the stdout to the file sample.s

myprogram > sample.s

Redirect stderr and stdout to File

Combining the two commands will result in redirecting both stderr and stdout to sample.s

myprogram > sample.s 2>&1

Redirect stderr and stdout to /dev/null

Redirect to /dev/null if you want to completely silent your application.

myprogram >/dev/null 2>&1

Check if element is clickable in Selenium Java

    element.click();
}

How to style readonly attribute with CSS?

Note that textarea[readonly="readonly"] works if you set readonly="readonly" in HTML but it does NOT work if you set the readOnly-attribute to true or "readonly" via JavaScript.

For the CSS selector to work if you set readOnly with JavaScript you have to use the selector textarea[readonly].

Same behavior in Firefox 14 and Chrome 20.

To be on the safe side, i use both selectors.

textarea[readonly="readonly"], textarea[readonly] {
...
}

How to run batch file from network share without "UNC path are not supported" message?

I ran into the same issue recently working with a batch file on a network share drive in Windows 7.

Another way that worked for me was to map the server to a drive through Windows Explorer: Tools -> Map network drive. Give it a drive letter and folder path to \yourserver. Since I work with the network share often mapping to it makes it more convenient, and it resolved the “UNC path are not supported” error.

continuing execution after an exception is thrown in java

If you throw the exception, the method execution will stop and the exception is thrown to the caller method. throw always interrupt the execution flow of the current method. a try/catch block is something you could write when you call a method that may throw an exception, but throwing an exception just means that method execution is terminated due to an abnormal condition, and the exception notifies the caller method of that condition.

Find this tutorial about exception and how they work - http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/exceptions/

Java SSL: how to disable hostname verification

It should be possible to create custom java agent that overrides default HostnameVerifier:

import javax.net.ssl.*;
import java.lang.instrument.Instrumentation;

public class LenientHostnameVerifierAgent {
    public static void premain(String args, Instrumentation inst) {
        HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultHostnameVerifier(new HostnameVerifier() {
            public boolean verify(String s, SSLSession sslSession) {
                return true;
            }
        });
    }
}

Then just add -javaagent:LenientHostnameVerifierAgent.jar to program's java startup arguments.

How do I convert a number to a numeric, comma-separated formatted string?

Where is the Global.asax.cs file?

It don't create normally; you need to add it by yourself.

After adding Global.asax by

  • Right clicking your website -> Add New Item -> Global Application Class -> Add

You need to add a class

  • Right clicking App_Code -> Add New Item -> Class -> name it Global.cs -> Add

Inherit the newly generated by System.Web.HttpApplication and copy all the method created Global.asax to Global.cs and also add an inherit attribute to the Global.asax file.

Your Global.asax will look like this: -

<%@ Application Language="C#" Inherits="Global" %>

Your Global.cs in App_Code will look like this: -

public class Global : System.Web.HttpApplication
{
    public Global()
    {
        //
        // TODO: Add constructor logic here
        //
    }

    void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        // Code that runs on application startup

    }
    /// Many other events like begin request...e.t.c, e.t.c

But if you want a switch with other stuff in a method then you can't use return or the rest of the code inside the method will not execute. Notice in the tutorial how it has a print after the code? Yours would not be able to do this.

JQuery: detect change in input field

You can use jQuery change() function

$('input').change(function(){
  //your codes
});

There are examples on how to use it on the API Page: http://api.jquery.com/change/

Set default heap size in Windows

Try setting a Windows System Environment variable called _JAVA_OPTIONS with the heap size you want. Java should be able to find it and act accordingly.

Java equivalent to #region in C#

I usually need this for commented code so I use curly brackets at start and end of that.

{
// Code
// Code
// Code
// Code
}

It could be used for code snippets but can create problems in some code because it changes the scope of variable.

Sequelize OR condition object

In Sequelize version 5 you might also can use this way (full use Operator Sequelize) :

var condition = 
{ 
  [Op.or]: [ 
   { 
     LastName: {
      [Op.eq]: "Doe"
      },
    },
   { 
     FirstName: {
      [Op.or]: ["John", "Jane"]
      }
   },
   {
      Age:{
        [Op.gt]: 18
      }
    }
 ]
}

And then, you must include this :

const Op = require('Sequelize').Op

and pass it in :

Student.findAll(condition)
.success(function(students){ 
//
})

It could beautifully generate SQL like this :

"SELECT * FROM Student WHERE LastName='Doe' OR FirstName in ("John","Jane") OR Age>18"

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

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

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

How to convert numbers between hexadecimal and decimal

This is not really easiest way but this source code enable you to right any types of octal number i.e 23.214, 23 and 0.512 and so on. Hope this will help you..

    public string octal_to_decimal(string m_value)
    {
        double i, j, x = 0;
        Int64 main_value;
        int k = 0;
        bool pw = true, ch;
        int position_pt = m_value.IndexOf(".");
        if (position_pt == -1)
        {
            main_value = Convert.ToInt64(m_value);
            ch = false;
        }
        else
        {
            main_value = Convert.ToInt64(m_value.Remove(position_pt, m_value.Length - position_pt));
            ch = true;
        }

        while (k <= 1)
        {
            do
            {
                i = main_value % 10;                                        // Return Remainder
                i = i * Convert.ToDouble(Math.Pow(8, x));                   // calculate power
                if (pw)
                    x++;
                else
                    x--;
                o_to_d = o_to_d + i;                                        // Saving Required calculated value in main variable
                main_value = main_value / 10;                               // Dividing the main value 
            }
            while (main_value >= 1);
            if (ch)
            {
                k++;
                main_value = Convert.ToInt64(Reversestring(m_value.Remove(0, position_pt + 1)));
            }
            else
                k = 2;
            pw = false;
            x = -1;
        }
        return (Convert.ToString(o_to_d));
    }    

Cross Domain Form POSTing

It is possible to build an arbitrary GET or POST request and send it to any server accessible to a victims browser. This includes devices on your local network, such as Printers and Routers.

There are many ways of building a CSRF exploit. A simple POST based CSRF attack can be sent using .submit() method. More complex attacks, such as cross-site file upload CSRF attacks will exploit CORS use of the xhr.withCredentals behavior.

CSRF does not violate the Same-Origin Policy For JavaScript because the SOP is concerned with JavaScript reading the server's response to a clients request. CSRF attacks don't care about the response, they care about a side-effect, or state change produced by the request, such as adding an administrative user or executing arbitrary code on the server.

Make sure your requests are protected using one of the methods described in the OWASP CSRF Prevention Cheat Sheet. For more information about CSRF consult the OWASP page on CSRF.

What is the regex for "Any positive integer, excluding 0"

You might want this (edit: allow number of the form 0123):

^\\+?[1-9]$|^\\+?\d+$

however, if it were me, I would instead do

int x = Integer.parseInt(s)
if (x > 0) {...}

find all subsets that sum to a particular value

This my program in ruby . It will return arrays, each holding the subsequences summing to the provided target value.

array = [1, 3, 4, 2, 7, 8, 9]

0..array.size.times.each do |i| 
  array.combination(i).to_a.each { |a| print a if a.inject(:+) == 9} 
end

SQL Server Case Statement when IS NULL

CASE WHEN B.[STAT] IS NULL THEN (C.[EVENT DATE]+10)   -- Type DATETIME
     ELSE '-'                                         -- Type VARCHAR
     END AS [DATE]

You need to select one type or the other for the field, the field type can't vary by row. The simplest is to remove the ELSE '-' and let it implicitly get the value NULL instead for the second case.

How to reference a file for variables using Bash?

For preventing naming conflicts, only import the variables that you need:

variableInFile () {
    variable="${1}"
    file="${2}"

    echo $(
        source "${file}";
        eval echo \$\{${variable}\}
    )
}

Laravel - Eloquent "Has", "With", "WhereHas" - What do they mean?

With

with() is for eager loading. That basically means, along the main model, Laravel will preload the relationship(s) you specify. This is especially helpful if you have a collection of models and you want to load a relation for all of them. Because with eager loading you run only one additional DB query instead of one for every model in the collection.

Example:

User > hasMany > Post

$users = User::with('posts')->get();
foreach($users as $user){
    $users->posts; // posts is already loaded and no additional DB query is run
}

Has

has() is to filter the selecting model based on a relationship. So it acts very similarly to a normal WHERE condition. If you just use has('relation') that means you only want to get the models that have at least one related model in this relation.

Example:

User > hasMany > Post

$users = User::has('posts')->get();
// only users that have at least one post are contained in the collection

WhereHas

whereHas() works basically the same as has() but allows you to specify additional filters for the related model to check.

Example:

User > hasMany > Post

$users = User::whereHas('posts', function($q){
    $q->where('created_at', '>=', '2015-01-01 00:00:00');
})->get();
// only users that have posts from 2015 on forward are returned

What is .Net Framework 4 extended?

Got this from Bing. Seems Microsoft has removed some features from the core framework and added it to a separate optional(?) framework component.

To quote from MSDN (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc656912.aspx)

The .NET Framework 4 Client Profile does not include the following features. You must install the .NET Framework 4 to use these features in your application:

* ASP.NET
* Advanced Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) functionality
* .NET Framework Data Provider for Oracle
* MSBuild for compiling

   $("#site > option").hide();
   $("#site > option").filter(function(){return $(this).data('pub') == selector}).show();
});

JSFIDDLE

Javascript validation: Block special characters

You have two approaches to this:

  1. check the "keypress" event. If the user presses a special character key, stop him right there
  2. check the "onblur" event: when the input element loses focus, validate its contents. If the value is invalid, display a discreet warning beside that input box.

I would suggest the second method because its less irritating. Remember to also check onpaste . If you use only keypress Then We Can Copy and paste special characters so use onpaste also to restrict Pasting special characters

Additionally, I will also suggest that you reconsider if you really want to prevent users from entering special characters. Because many people have $, #, @ and * in their passwords.

I presume that this might be in order to prevent SQL injection; if so: its better that you handle the checks server-side. Or better still, escape the values and store them in the database.

Adding subscribers to a list using Mailchimp's API v3

Based on the List Members Instance docs, the easiest way is to use a PUT request which according to the docs either "adds a new list member or updates the member if the email already exists on the list".

Furthermore apikey is definitely not part of the json schema and there's no point in including it in your json request.

Also, as noted in @TooMuchPete's comment, you can use CURLOPT_USERPWD for basic http auth as illustrated in below.

I'm using the following function to add and update list members. You may need to include a slightly different set of merge_fields depending on your list parameters.

$data = [
    'email'     => '[email protected]',
    'status'    => 'subscribed',
    'firstname' => 'john',
    'lastname'  => 'doe'
];

syncMailchimp($data);

function syncMailchimp($data) {
    $apiKey = 'your api key';
    $listId = 'your list id';

    $memberId = md5(strtolower($data['email']));
    $dataCenter = substr($apiKey,strpos($apiKey,'-')+1);
    $url = 'https://' . $dataCenter . '.api.mailchimp.com/3.0/lists/' . $listId . '/members/' . $memberId;

    $json = json_encode([
        'email_address' => $data['email'],
        'status'        => $data['status'], // "subscribed","unsubscribed","cleaned","pending"
        'merge_fields'  => [
            'FNAME'     => $data['firstname'],
            'LNAME'     => $data['lastname']
        ]
    ]);

    $ch = curl_init($url);

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, 'user:' . $apiKey);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, ['Content-Type: application/json']);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'PUT');
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $json);                                                                                                                 

    $result = curl_exec($ch);
    $httpCode = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
    curl_close($ch);

    return $httpCode;
}

string comparison in batch file

Just put quotes around the Environment variable (as you have done) :
if "%DevEnvDir%" == "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\"
but it's the way you put opening bracket without a space that is confusing it.

Works for me...

C:\if "%gtk_basepath%" == "C:\Program Files\GtkSharp\2.12\" (echo yes)
yes

Eclipse error: R cannot be resolved to a variable

The R file can't be generated if your layout contains errors. If your res folder is empty, then it's safe to assume that there's no res/layout folder with any layouts in it, but your activity is probably calling setContentView and not finding anything -- that qualifies as a problem with your layout.

case in sql stored procedure on SQL Server

CASE isn't used for flow control... for this, you would need to use IF...

But, there's a set-based solution to this problem instead of the procedural approach:

UPDATE tblEmployee
SET 
  InOffice = CASE WHEN @NewStatus = 'InOffice' THEN -1 ELSE InOffice END,
  OutOffice = CASE WHEN @NewStatus = 'OutOffice' THEN -1 ELSE OutOffice END,
  Home = CASE WHEN @NewStatus = 'Home' THEN -1 ELSE Home END
WHERE EmpID = @EmpID

Note that the ELSE will preserves the original value if the @NewStatus condition isn't met.

How to concatenate strings in windows batch file for loop?

In batch you could do it like this:

@echo off

setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion

set "string_list=str1 str2 str3 ... str10"

for %%s in (%string_list%) do (
  set "var=%%sxyz"
  svn co "!var!"
)

If you don't need the variable !var! elsewhere in the loop, you could simplify that to

@echo off

setlocal

set "string_list=str1 str2 str3 ... str10"

for %%s in (%string_list%) do svn co "%%sxyz"

However, like C.B. I'd prefer PowerShell if at all possible:

$string_list = 'str1', 'str2', 'str3', ... 'str10'

$string_list | ForEach-Object {
  $var = "${_}xyz"   # alternatively: $var = $_ + 'xyz'
  svn co $var
}

Again, this could be simplified if you don't need $var elsewhere in the loop:

$string_list = 'str1', 'str2', 'str3', ... 'str10'
$string_list | ForEach-Object { svn co "${_}xyz" }

line breaks in a textarea

Don't do nl2br when you save it to the database. Do nl2br when you're displaying the text in HTML. I can strongly recommend to not store any HTML formatting in the database (unless you're using a rich HTML editor as well, in which case it would be silly not to).

A newline \n will just become a newline in the textarea.

How to determine if a number is positive or negative?

This code covers all cases and types:

public static boolean isNegative(Number number) {
    return (Double.doubleToLongBits(number.doubleValue()) & Long.MIN_VALUE) == Long.MIN_VALUE;
}

This method accepts any of the wrapper classes (Integer, Long, Float and Double) and thanks to auto-boxing any of the primitive numeric types (int, long, float and double) and simply checks it the high bit, which in all types is the sign bit, is set.

It returns true when passed any of:

  • any negative int/Integer
  • any negative long/Long
  • any negative float/Float
  • any negative double/Double
  • Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY
  • Float.NEGATIVE_INFINITY

and false otherwise.

Sending and receiving data over a network using TcpClient

Be warned - this is a very old and cumbersome "solution".

By the way, you can use serialization technology to send strings, numbers or any objects which are support serialization (most of .NET data-storing classes & structs are [Serializable]). There, you should at first send Int32-length in four bytes to the stream and then send binary-serialized (System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter) data into it.

On the other side or the connection (on both sides actually) you definetly should have a byte[] buffer which u will append and trim-left at runtime when data is coming.

Something like that I am using:

namespace System.Net.Sockets
{
    public class TcpConnection : IDisposable
    {
        public event EvHandler<TcpConnection, DataArrivedEventArgs> DataArrive = delegate { };
        public event EvHandler<TcpConnection> Drop = delegate { };

        private const int IntSize = 4;
        private const int BufferSize = 8 * 1024;

        private static readonly SynchronizationContext _syncContext = SynchronizationContext.Current;
        private readonly TcpClient _tcpClient;
        private readonly object _droppedRoot = new object();
        private bool _dropped;
        private byte[] _incomingData = new byte[0];
        private Nullable<int> _objectDataLength;

        public TcpClient TcpClient { get { return _tcpClient; } }
        public bool Dropped { get { return _dropped; } }

        private void DropConnection()
        {
            lock (_droppedRoot)
            {
                if (Dropped)
                    return;

                _dropped = true;
            }

            _tcpClient.Close();
            _syncContext.Post(delegate { Drop(this); }, null);
        }

        public void SendData(PCmds pCmd) { SendDataInternal(new object[] { pCmd }); }
        public void SendData(PCmds pCmd, object[] datas)
        {
            datas.ThrowIfNull();
            SendDataInternal(new object[] { pCmd }.Append(datas));
        }

                {
                    TcpClient.Client.BeginSend(BitConverter.GetBytes(bytedata.Length), 0, IntSize, SocketFlags.None, EndSend, null);
                    TcpClient.Client.BeginSend(bytedata, 0, bytedata.Length, SocketFlags.None, EndSend, null);
                }
            }
            catch { DropConnection(); }
        }
        private void EndSend(IAsyncResult ar)
        {
            try { TcpClient.Client.EndSend(ar); }
            catch { }
        }

        public TcpConnection(TcpClient tcpClient)
        {
            _tcpClient = tcpClient;

        }

        private void StartReceive()
        {

        }

        private void DataReceived(IAsyncResult ar)

How do I make an HTTP request in Swift?

In Swift 4.1 and Xcode 9.4.1.

JSON POST approach example. To check internet connection add Reachability.h & .m files from https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/samplecode/Reachability/Introduction/Intro.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/DTS40007324-Intro-DontLinkElementID_2

            if let httpStatus = response as? HTTPURLResponse, httpStatus.statusCode != 200 { // check for http errors
                print("statusCode should be 200, but is \(httpStatus.statusCode)")
                print("response = \(String(describing: response))")
            }

            do {
                let response = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data, options: []) as? [String: AnyObject]
                print(response!)
                //Your code here                    
            } catch let error as NSError {
                print(error)
            }
        }

        task.resume()

    }

}

If you have interest to use this function in SharedClass

//My shared class
import UIKit
class SharedClass: NSObject {

static let sharedInstance = SharedClass()

func postRequestFunction(apiName: String , parameters: String, onCompletion: @escaping (_ success: Bool, _ error: Error?, _ result: [String: Any]?)->()) {

    var URL =  "your URL here/index.php/***?"

    URL = URL.replacingOccurrences(of: "***", with: apiName)

    var request = URLRequest(url: URL(string: URL)!)
    request.setValue("application/x-www-form-urlencoded", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
    request.httpMethod = "POST"
    print("shared URL : \(request)")
    request.httpBody = parameters.data(using: .utf8)

    var returnRes:[String:Any] = [:]
    let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) { data, response, error in

        if let error = error {
            onCompletion(false, error, nil)
        } else {
            guard let data = data else {
                onCompletion(false, error, nil)
                return
            }

            if let httpStatus = response as? HTTPURLResponse, httpStatus.statusCode == 200 {
                do {
                   returnRes = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data, options: []) as! [String : Any]
                    onCompletion(true, nil, returnRes)

                } catch let error as NSError {
                   onCompletion(false, error, nil)
                }
            } else {
                onCompletion(false, error, nil)
            }
        }
    }
    task.resume()
}


private override init() {

}

And finally call this function like this....

SharedClass.sharedInstance.postRequestFunction(apiName: "Your API name", parameters: parameters) { (success, error, result) in
    print(result!)
    if success {
        //Your code here
    } else {
        print(error?.localizedDescription ?? "")
    }
}

Ternary operators in JavaScript without an "else"

To use a ternary operator without else inside of an array or object declaration, you can use the ES6 spread operator, ...():

const cond = false;
const arr = [
  ...(cond ? ['a'] : []),
  'b',
];
    // ['b']

And for objects:

const cond = false;
const obj = {
  ...(cond ? {a: 1} : {}),
  b: 2,
};
    // {b: 2}

How to find the statistical mode?

One more solution, which works for both numeric & character/factor data:

Mode <- function(x) {
  ux <- unique(x)
  ux[which.max(tabulate(match(x, ux)))]
}

On my dinky little machine, that can generate & find the mode of a 10M-integer vector in about half a second.

If your data set might have multiple modes, the above solution takes the same approach as which.max, and returns the first-appearing value of the set of modes. To return all modes, use this variant (from @digEmAll in the comments):

Modes <- function(x) {
  ux <- unique(x)
  tab <- tabulate(match(x, ux))
  ux[tab == max(tab)]
}

How to split a list by comma not space

Using a subshell substitution to parse the words undoes all the work you are doing to put spaces together.

Try instead:

cat CSV_file | sed -n 1'p' | tr ',' '\n' | while read word; do
    echo $word
done

That also increases parallelism. Using a subshell as in your question forces the entire subshell process to finish before you can start iterating over the answers. Piping to a subshell (as in my answer) lets them work in parallel. This matters only if you have many lines in the file, of course.

Getting random numbers in Java

The first solution is to use the java.util.Random class:

import java.util.Random;

Random rand = new Random();

// Obtain a number between [0 - 49].
int n = rand.nextInt(50);

// Add 1 to the result to get a number from the required range
// (i.e., [1 - 50]).
n += 1;

Another solution is using Math.random():

double random = Math.random() * 49 + 1;

or

int random = (int)(Math.random() * 50 + 1);

Put request with simple string as request body

I solved this by overriding the default Content-Type:

const config = { headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json'} };
axios.put(url, content, config).then(response => {
    ...
});

Based on m experience, the default Conent-Type is application/x-www-form-urlencoded for strings, and application/json for objects (including arrays). Your server probably expects JSON.

How to put text in the upper right, or lower right corner of a "box" using css

_x000D_
_x000D_
<div style="position: relative; width: 250px;">_x000D_
  <div style="position: absolute; top: 0; right: 0; width: 100px; text-align:right;">_x000D_
    here_x000D_
  </div>_x000D_
  <div style="position: absolute; bottom: 0; right: 0; width: 100px; text-align:right;">_x000D_
    and here_x000D_
  </div>_x000D_
  Lorem Ipsum etc <br />_x000D_
  blah <br />_x000D_
  blah blah <br />_x000D_
  blah <br />_x000D_
  lorem ipsums_x000D_
</div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Gets you pretty close, although you may need to tweak the "top" and "bottom" values.

Fixed positioned div within a relative parent div

A simple thing you can do is position your fixed DIV relative to the rest of your page with % values.

Check out this jsfiddle here where the fixed DIV is a sidebar.

div#wrapper {
    margin: auto;
    width: 80%;
}

div#main {
    width: 60%;
}

div#sidebar {
    position: fixed;
    width: 30%;
    left: 60%;
}

What are all the user accounts for IIS/ASP.NET and how do they differ?

This is a very good question and sadly many developers don't ask enough questions about IIS/ASP.NET security in the context of being a web developer and setting up IIS. So here goes....

To cover the identities listed:

IIS_IUSRS:

This is analogous to the old IIS6 IIS_WPG group. It's a built-in group with it's security configured such that any member of this group can act as an application pool identity.

IUSR:

This account is analogous to the old IUSR_<MACHINE_NAME> local account that was the default anonymous user for IIS5 and IIS6 websites (i.e. the one configured via the Directory Security tab of a site's properties).

For more information about IIS_IUSRS and IUSR see:

Understanding Built-In User and Group Accounts in IIS 7

DefaultAppPool:

If an application pool is configured to run using the Application Pool Identity feature then a "synthesised" account called IIS AppPool\<pool name> will be created on the fly to used as the pool identity. In this case there will be a synthesised account called IIS AppPool\DefaultAppPool created for the life time of the pool. If you delete the pool then this account will no longer exist. When applying permissions to files and folders these must be added using IIS AppPool\<pool name>. You also won't see these pool accounts in your computers User Manager. See the following for more information:

Application Pool Identities

ASP.NET v4.0: -

This will be the Application Pool Identity for the ASP.NET v4.0 Application Pool. See DefaultAppPool above.

NETWORK SERVICE: -

The NETWORK SERVICE account is a built-in identity introduced on Windows 2003. NETWORK SERVICE is a low privileged account under which you can run your application pools and websites. A website running in a Windows 2003 pool can still impersonate the site's anonymous account (IUSR_ or whatever you configured as the anonymous identity).

In ASP.NET prior to Windows 2008 you could have ASP.NET execute requests under the Application Pool account (usually NETWORK SERVICE). Alternatively you could configure ASP.NET to impersonate the site's anonymous account via the <identity impersonate="true" /> setting in web.config file locally (if that setting is locked then it would need to be done by an admin in the machine.config file).

Setting <identity impersonate="true"> is common in shared hosting environments where shared application pools are used (in conjunction with partial trust settings to prevent unwinding of the impersonated account).

In IIS7.x/ASP.NET impersonation control is now configured via the Authentication configuration feature of a site. So you can configure to run as the pool identity, IUSR or a specific custom anonymous account.

LOCAL SERVICE:

The LOCAL SERVICE account is a built-in account used by the service control manager. It has a minimum set of privileges on the local computer. It has a fairly limited scope of use:

LocalService Account

LOCAL SYSTEM:

You didn't ask about this one but I'm adding for completeness. This is a local built-in account. It has fairly extensive privileges and trust. You should never configure a website or application pool to run under this identity.

LocalSystem Account

In Practice:

In practice the preferred approach to securing a website (if the site gets its own application pool - which is the default for a new site in IIS7's MMC) is to run under Application Pool Identity. This means setting the site's Identity in its Application Pool's Advanced Settings to Application Pool Identity:

enter image description here

In the website you should then configure the Authentication feature:

enter image description here

Right click and edit the Anonymous Authentication entry:

enter image description here

Ensure that "Application pool identity" is selected:

enter image description here

When you come to apply file and folder permissions you grant the Application Pool identity whatever rights are required. For example if you are granting the application pool identity for the ASP.NET v4.0 pool permissions then you can either do this via Explorer:

enter image description here

Click the "Check Names" button:

enter image description here

Or you can do this using the ICACLS.EXE utility:

icacls c:\wwwroot\mysite /grant "IIS AppPool\ASP.NET v4.0":(CI)(OI)(M)

...or...if you site's application pool is called BobsCatPicBlogthen:

icacls c:\wwwroot\mysite /grant "IIS AppPool\BobsCatPicBlog":(CI)(OI)(M)

I hope this helps clear things up.

Update:

I just bumped into this excellent answer from 2009 which contains a bunch of useful information, well worth a read:

The difference between the 'Local System' account and the 'Network Service' account?

Convert base64 string to image

  public Optional<String> InputStreamToBase64(Optional<InputStream> inputStream) throws IOException{
    if (inputStream.isPresent()) {
        ByteArrayOutputStream outpString base64Image = data.split(",")[1];
byte[] imageBytes = javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter.parseBase64Binary(base64Image);

Then you can do whatever you like with the bytes like:

BufferedImage img = ImageIO.read(new ByteArrayInputStream(imageBytes));ut = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        FileCopyUtils.copy(inputStream.get(), output);
        //TODO retrieve content type from file, & replace png below with it
        return Optional.ofNullable("data:image/png;base64," + DatatypeConverter.printBase64Binary(output.toByteArray()));
    }

    return Optional.empty();

How to load image to WPF in runtime?

In WPF an image is typically loaded from a Stream or an Uri.

BitmapImage supports both and an Uri can even be passed as constructor argument:

var uri = new Uri("http://...");
var bitmap = new BitmapImage(uri);

If the image file is located in a local folder, you would have to use a file:// Uri. You could create such a Uri from a path like this:

var path = Path.Combine(Environment.CurrentDirectory, "Bilder", "sas.png");
var uri = new Uri(path);

If the image file is an assembly resource, the Uri must follow the the Pack Uri scheme:

var uri = new Uri("pack://application:,,,/Bilder/sas.png");

In this case the Visual Studio Build Action for sas.png would have to be Resource.

Once you have created a BitmapImage and also have an Image control like in this XAML

<Image Name="image1" />

you would simply assign the BitmapImage to the Source property of that Image control:

image1.Source = bitmap;

How to index into a dictionary?

actually I found a novel solution that really helped me out, If you are especially concerned with the index of a certain value in a list or data set, you can just set the value of dictionary to that Index!:

Just watch:

list = ['a', 'b', 'c']
dictionary = {}
counter = 0
for i in list:
   dictionary[i] = counter
   counter += 1

print(dictionary) # dictionary = {'a':0, 'b':1, 'c':2}

Now through the power of hashmaps you can pull the index your entries in constant time (aka a whole lot faster)

Return in Scala

This topic is actually a little more complicated as described in the answers so far. This blogpost by Rob Norris explains it in more detail and gives examples on when using return will actually break your code (or at least have non-obvious effects).

At this point let me just quote the essence of the post. The most important statement is right in the beginning. Print this as a poster and put it to your wall :-)

The return keyword is not “optional” or “inferred”; it changes the meaning of your program, and you should never use it.

It gives one example, where it actually breaks something, when you inline a function

// Inline add and addR
def sum(ns: Int*): Int = ns.foldLeft(0)((n, m) => n + m) // inlined add

scala> sum(33, 42, 99)
res2: Int = 174 // alright

def sumR(ns: Int*): Int = ns.foldLeft(0)((n, m) => return n + m) // inlined addR

scala> sumR(33, 42, 99)
res3: Int = 33 // um.

because

A return expression, when evaluated, abandons the current computation and returns to the caller of the method in which return appears.

This is only one of the examples given in the linked post and it's the easiest to understand. There're more and I highly encourage you, to go there, read and understand.

When you come from imperative languages like Java, this might seem odd at first, but once you get used to this style it will make sense. Let me close with another quote:

If you find yourself in a situation where you think you want to return early, you need to re-think the way you have defined your computation.

How to get first and last day of the current week in JavaScript

        //get start of week; QT
    function _getStartOfWeek (date){
        var iDayOfWeek = date.getDay();
        var iDifference = date.getDate() - iDayOfWeek + (iDayOfWeek === 0 ?  -6:1);

        return new Date(date.setDate(iDifference));
    }, 

    function _getEndOfWeek(date){
        return new Date(date.setDate(date.getDate() + (7 - date.getDay()) === 7 ? 0 : (7 - date.getDay()) ));
    }, 

*current date == 30.06.2016 and monday is the first day in week.

It also works for different months and years. Tested with qunit suite:

enter image description here

        QUnit.module("Planung: Start of week");
    QUnit.test("Should return start of week based on current date", function (assert) {
        var startOfWeek = Planung._getStartOfWeek(new Date());
        assert.ok( startOfWeek , "returned date: "+ startOfWeek);
    });

    QUnit.test("Should return start of week based on a sunday date", function (assert) {
        var startOfWeek = Planung._getStartOfWeek(new Date("2016-07-03"));
        assert.ok( startOfWeek , "returned date: "+ startOfWeek);
    });

    QUnit.test("Should return start of week based on a monday date", function (assert) {
        var startOfWeek = Planung._getStartOfWeek(new Date("2016-06-27"));
        assert.ok( startOfWeek , "returned date: "+ startOfWeek);
    });

    QUnit.module("Planung: End of week");
    QUnit.test("Should return end of week based on current date", function (assert) {
        var endOfWeek = Planung._getEndOfWeek(new Date());
        assert.ok( endOfWeek , "returned date: "+ endOfWeek);
    });
    QUnit.test("Should return end of week based on sunday date with different month", function (assert) {
        var endOfWeek = Planung._getEndOfWeek(new Date("2016-07-03"));
        assert.ok( endOfWeek , "returned date: "+ endOfWeek);
    });
    QUnit.test("Should return end of week based on monday date with different month", function (assert) {
        var endOfWeek = Planung._getEndOfWeek(new Date("2016-06-27"));
        assert.ok( endOfWeek , "returned date: "+ endOfWeek);
    });
    QUnit.test("Should return end of week based on 01-06-2016 with different month", function (assert) {
        var endOfWeek = Planung._getEndOfWeek(new Date("2016-06-01"));
        assert.ok( endOfWeek , "returned date: "+ endOfWeek);
    });
    QUnit.test("Should return end of week based on 21-06-2016 with different month", function (assert) {
        var endOfWeek = Planung._getEndOfWeek(new Date("2016-06-21"));
        assert.ok( endOfWeek , "returned date: "+ endOfWeek);
    });
    QUnit.test("Should return end of week based on 28-12-2016 with different month and year", function (assert) {
        var endOfWeek = Planung._getEndOfWeek(new Date("2016-12-28"));
        assert.ok( endOfWeek , "returned date: "+ endOfWeek);
    });
    QUnit.test("Should return end of week based on 01-01-2016 with different month and year", function (assert) {
        var endOfWeek = Planung._getEndOfWeek(new Date("2016-01-01"));
        assert.ok( endOfWeek , "returned date: "+ endOfWeek);

NoClassDefFoundError on Maven dependency

You have to make classpath in pom file for your dependency. Therefore you have to copy all the dependencies into one place.

Oracle "SQL Error: Missing IN or OUT parameter at index:: 1"

I got the same error and found the cause to be a wrong or missing foreign key. (Using JDBC)

How can I change CSS display none or block property using jQuery?

There are several ways to accomplish this, each with its own intended purpose.


1.) To use inline while simply assigning an element a list of things to do

$('#ele_id').css('display', 'block').animate(....
$('#ele_id').css('display', 'none').animate(....

2.) To use while setting multiple CSS properties

$('#ele_id').css({
    display: 'none'
    height: 100px,
    width: 100px
});
$('#ele_id').css({
    display: 'block'
    height: 100px,
    width: 100px
});

3.) To dynamically call on command

$('#ele_id').show();
$('#ele_id').hide();

4.) To dynamically toggle between block and none, if it's a div

  • some elements are displayed as inline, inline-block, or table, depending on the Tag Name

$('#ele_id').toggle();

Is it possible to display inline images from html in an Android TextView?

This is what I use, which does not need you to hardcore your resource names and will look for the drawable resources first in your apps resources and then in the stock android resources if nothing was found - allowing you to use default icons and such.

private class ImageGetter implements Html.ImageGetter {

     public Drawable getDrawable(String source) {
        int id;

        id = getResources().getIdentifier(source, "drawable", getPackageName());

        if (id == 0) {
            // the drawable resource wasn't found in our package, maybe it is a stock android drawable?
            id = getResources().getIdentifier(source, "drawable", "android");
        }

        if (id == 0) {
            // prevent a crash if the resource still can't be found
            return null;    
        }
        else {
            Drawable d = getResources().getDrawable(id);
            d.setBounds(0,0,d.getIntrinsicWidth(),d.getIntrinsicHeight());
            return d;
        }
     }

 }

Which can be used as such (example):

String myHtml = "This will display an image to the right <img src='ic_menu_more' />";
myTextview.setText(Html.fromHtml(myHtml, new ImageGetter(), null);

Stash only one file out of multiple files that have changed with Git?

Since creating branches in Git is trivial you could just create a temporary branch and check the individual files into it.

checked = "checked" vs checked = true

The element has both an attribute and a property named checked. The property determines the current state.

The attribute is a string, and the property is a boolean. When the element is created from the HTML code, the attribute is set from the markup, and the property is set depending on the value of the attribute.

If there is no value for the attribute in the markup, the attribute becomes null, but the property is always either true or false, so it becomes false.

When you set the property, you should use a boolean value:

document.getElementById('myRadio').checked = true;

If you set the attribute, you use a string:

document.getElementById('myRadio').setAttribute('checked', 'checked');

Note that setting the attribute also changes the property, but setting the property doesn't change the attribute.

Note also that whatever value you set the attribute to, the property becomes true. Even if you use an empty string or null, setting the attribute means that it's checked. Use removeAttribute to uncheck the element using the attribute:

document.getElementById('myRadio').removeAttribute('checked');

How do I install a module globally using npm?

I like using a package.json file in the root of your app folder.

Here is one I use

nvm use v0.6.4

npm install

What is the meaning of "int(a[::-1])" in Python?

The notation that is used in

a[::-1]

means that for a given string/list/tuple, you can slice the said object using the format

<object_name>[<start_index>, <stop_index>, <step>]

This means that the object is going to slice every "step" index from the given start index, till the stop index (excluding the stop index) and return it to you.

In case the start index or stop index is missing, it takes up the default value as the start index and stop index of the given string/list/tuple. If the step is left blank, then it takes the default value of 1 i.e it goes through each index.

So,

a = '1234'
print a[::2]

would print

13

Now the indexing here and also the step count, support negative numbers. So, if you give a -1 index, it translates to len(a)-1 index. And if you give -x as the step count, then it would step every x'th value from the start index, till the stop index in the reverse direction. For example

a = '1234'
print a[3:0:-1]

This would return

432

Note, that it doesn't return 4321 because, the stop index is not included.

Now in your case,

str(int(a[::-1]))

would just reverse a given integer, that is stored in a string, and then convert it back to a string

i.e "1234" -> "4321" -> 4321 -> "4321"

If what you are trying to do is just reverse the given string, then simply a[::-1] would work .

how to set "camera position" for 3d plots using python/matplotlib?

What would be handy would be to apply the Camera position to a new plot. So I plot, then move the plot around with the mouse changing the distance. Then try to replicate the view including the distance on another plot. I find that axx.ax.get_axes() gets me an object with the old .azim and .elev.

IN PYTHON...

axx=ax1.get_axes()
azm=axx.azim
ele=axx.elev
dst=axx.dist       # ALWAYS GIVES 10
#dst=ax1.axes.dist # ALWAYS GIVES 10
#dst=ax1.dist      # ALWAYS GIVES 10

Later 3d graph...

ax2.view_init(elev=ele, azim=azm) #Works!
ax2.dist=dst                       # works but always 10 from axx

EDIT 1... OK, Camera position is the wrong way of thinking concerning the .dist value. It rides on top of everything as a kind of hackey scalar multiplier for the whole graph.

This works for the magnification/zoom of the view:

xlm=ax1.get_xlim3d() #These are two tupples
ylm=ax1.get_ylim3d() #we use them in the next
zlm=ax1.get_zlim3d() #graph to reproduce the magnification from mousing
axx=ax1.get_axes()
azm=axx.azim
ele=axx.elev

Later Graph...

ax2.view_init(elev=ele, azim=azm) #Reproduce view
ax2.set_xlim3d(xlm[0],xlm[1])     #Reproduce magnification
ax2.set_ylim3d(ylm[0],ylm[1])     #...
ax2.set_zlim3d(zlm[0],zlm[1])     #...

Plotting with ggplot2: "Error: Discrete value supplied to continuous scale" on categorical y-axis

In my case, you need to convert the column(you think this column is numeric, but actually not) to numeric

geom_segment(data=tmpp, 
   aes(x=start_pos, 
   y=lib.complexity, 
   xend=end_pos, 
   yend=lib.complexity)
)
# to 
geom_segment(data=tmpp, 
   aes(x=as.numeric(start_pos), 
   y=as.numeric(lib.complexity), 
   xend=as.numeric(end_pos), 
   yend=as.numeric(lib.complexity))
)

Simplest way to form a union of two lists

I think this is all you really need to do:

var listB = new List<int>{3, 4, 5};
var listA = new List<int>{1, 2, 3, 4, 5};

var listMerged = listA.Union(listB);

Using $_POST to get select option value from HTML

You can access values in the $_POST array by their key. $_POST is an associative array, so to access taskOption you would use $_POST['taskOption'];.

Make sure to check if it exists in the $_POST array before proceeding though.

<form method="post" action="process.php">
  <select name="taskOption">
    <option value="first">First</option>
    <option value="second">Second</option>
    <option value="third">Third</option>
  </select>
  <input type="submit" value="Submit the form"/>
</form>

process.php

<?php
   $option = isset($_POST['taskOption']) ? $_POST['taskOption'] : false;
   if ($option) {
      echo htmlentities($_POST['taskOption'], ENT_QUOTES, "UTF-8");
   } else {
     echo "task option is required";
     exit; 
   }

What is the PHP syntax to check "is not null" or an empty string?

Null OR an empty string?

if (!empty($user)) {}

Use empty().


After realizing that $user ~= $_POST['user'] (thanks matt):

var uservariable='<?php 
    echo ((array_key_exists('user',$_POST)) || (!empty($_POST['user']))) ? $_POST['user'] : 'Empty Username Input';
?>';

SQL Server Pivot Table with multiple column aggregates

I would do this slightly different by applying both the UNPIVOT and the PIVOT functions to get the final result. The unpivot takes the values from both the totalcount and totalamount columns and places them into one column with multiple rows. You can then pivot on those results.:

select chardate,
  Australia_totalcount as [Australia # of Transactions], 
  Australia_totalamount as [Australia Total $ Amount],
  Austria_totalcount as [Austria # of Transactions], 
  Austria_totalamount as [Austria Total $ Amount]
from
(
  select 
    numericmonth, 
    chardate,
    country +'_'+col col, 
    value
  from
  (
    select numericmonth, 
      country, 
      chardate,
      cast(totalcount as numeric(10, 2)) totalcount,
      cast(totalamount as numeric(10, 2)) totalamount
    from mytransactions
  ) src
  unpivot
  (
    value
    for col in (totalcount, totalamount)
  ) unpiv
) s
pivot
(
  sum(value)
  for col in (Australia_totalcount, Australia_totalamount,
              Austria_totalcount, Austria_totalamount)
) piv
order by numericmonth

See SQL Fiddle with Demo.

If you have an unknown number of country names, then you can use dynamic SQL:

DECLARE @cols AS NVARCHAR(MAX),
    @colsName AS NVARCHAR(MAX),
    @query  AS NVARCHAR(MAX)

                      cross apply 
                      (
                        select 'TotalCount' col
                        union all
                        select 'TotalAmount'
                      ) c
            FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE
            ).value('.', 'NVARCHAR(MAX)') 
        ,1,1,'')

select @colsName 
    = STUFF((SELECT distinct ', ' + QUOTENAME(country +'_'+c.col) 
               +' as ['

How do I add a submodule to a sub-directory?

I had a similar issue, but had painted myself into a corner with GUI tools.

I had a subproject with a few files in it that I had so far just copied around instead of checking into their own git repo. I created a repo in the subfolder, was able to commit, push, etc just fine. But in the parent repo the subfolder wasn't treated as a submodule, and its files were still being tracked by the parent repo - no good.

To get out of this mess I had to tell Git to stop tracking the subfolder (without deleting the files):

proj> git rm -r --cached ./ui/jslib

Then I had to tell it there was a submodule there (which you can't do if anything there is currently being tracked by git):

proj> git submodule add ./ui/jslib

Update

The ideal way to handle this involves a couple more steps. Ideally, the existing repo is moved out to its own directory, free of any parent git modules, committed and pushed, and then added as a submodule like:

proj> git submodule add [email protected]:user/jslib.git ui/jslib

That will clone the git repo in as a submodule - which involves the standard cloning steps, but also several other more obscure config steps that git takes on your behalf to get that submodule to work. The most important difference is that it places a simple .git file there, instead of a .git directory, which contains a path reference to where the real git dir lives - generally at parent project root .git/modules/jslib.

If you don't do things this way they'll work fine for you, but as soon as you commit and push the parent, and another dev goes to pull that parent, you just made their life a lot harder. It will be very difficult for them to replicate the structure you have on your machine so long as you have a full .git dir in a subfolder of a dir that contains its own .git dir.

So, move, push, git add submodule, is the cleanest option.

Replace Line Breaks in a String C#

Use the .Replace() method

Line.Replace("\n", "whatever you want to replace with");

Convert integer into its character equivalent, where 0 => a, 1 => b, etc

There you go: (a-zA-Z)

function codeToChar( number ) {
  if ( number >= 0 && number <= 25 ) // a-z
    number = number + 97;
  else if ( number >= 26 && number <= 51 ) // A-Z
    number = number + (65-26);
  else
    return false; // range error
  return String.fromCharCode( number );
}

input: 0-51, or it will return false (range error);

OR:

var codeToChar = function() {
  var abc = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ".split("");
  return function( code ) {
    return abc[code];
  };
})();

returns undefined in case of range error. NOTE: the array will be created only once and because of closure it will be available for the the new codeToChar function. I guess it's even faster then the first method (it's just a lookup basically).

How can I detect if Flash is installed and if not, display a hidden div that informs the user?

I used Adobe's detection kit, originally suggested by justpassinby. Their system is nice because it detects the version number and compares it for you against your 'required version'

One bad thing is it does an alert showing the detected version of flash, which isn't very user friendly. All of a sudden a box pops up with some seemingly random numbers.

Some modifications you might want to consider:

  • remove the alert
  • change it so it returns an object (or array) --- first element is boolean true/false for "was the required version found on user's machine" --- second element is the actual version number found on user's machine

MySQL SELECT LIKE or REGEXP to match multiple words in one record

Assuming that your search is stylus photo 2100. Try the following example is using RLIKE.

SELECT * FROM `buckets` WHERE `bucketname` RLIKE REPLACE('stylus photo 2100', ' ', '+.*');

EDIT

Another way is to use FULLTEXT index on bucketname and MATCH ... AGAINST syntax in your SELECT statement. So to re-write the above example...

SELECT * FROM `buckets` WHERE MATCH(`bucketname`) AGAINST (REPLACE('stylus photo 2100', ' ', ','));

Access event to call preventdefault from custom function originating from onclick attribute of tag

I think when we use onClick we want to do something different than default. So, for all your links with onClick:

$("a[onClick]").on("click", function(e) {
  return e.preventDefault();
});

How to replace deprecated android.support.v4.app.ActionBarDrawerToggle

There's no need for you to use super-call of the ActionBarDrawerToggle which requires the Toolbar. This means instead of using the following constructor:

ActionBarDrawerToggle(Activity activity, DrawerLayout drawerLayout, Toolbar toolbar, int openDrawerContentDescRes, int closeDrawerContentDescRes)

You should use this one:

ActionBarDrawerToggle(Activity activity, DrawerLayout drawerLayout, int openDrawerContentDescRes, int closeDrawerContentDescRes)

So basically the only thing you have to do is to remove your custom drawable:

super(mActivity, mDrawerLayout, R.string.ns_menu_open, R.string.ns_menu_close);

How to search file text for a pattern and replace it with a given value

In my case I am using tty-gem ruby gem for that.

Screen width in React Native

In React-Native we have an Option called Dimensions

Include Dimensions at the top var where you have include the Image,and Text and other components.

Then in your Stylesheets you can use as below,

ex: {
width: Dimensions.get('window').width,
height: Dimensions.get('window').height
}

In this way you can get the device window and height.

Do subclasses inherit private fields?

I will demonstrate the concept with code. Subclasses ACTUALLY inherit the private variables of super class. The only problem is that they are not accessible to the child objects unless you provide public getters and setters for the private variables in the super class.

Consider two class in package Dump. Child extends Parent.

If I remember correctly, a child object in memory consists of two regions. One is the parent part only and the other is the child part only. A child can access the private section in the code of its parent only via a public method in the parent.

Think of it this way. Borat's father Boltok has a safe containing $100,000. He does not want to share his "private" variable safe. So, he does not provide a key for the safe. Borat inherits the safe. But, what good is it if he cannot even open it ? If only his dad had provided the key.

Parent -

package Dump;

public class Parent {

    private String reallyHidden;
    private String notReallyHidden;

    public String getNotReallyHidden() {
        return notReallyHidden;
    }

    public void setNotReallyHidden(String notReallyHidden) {
        this.notReallyHidden = notReallyHidden;
    }

}//Parent

Child -

package Dump;

public class Child extends Parent {

    private String childOnly;

    public String getChildOnly() {
        return childOnly;
    }

    public void setChildOnly(String childOnly) {
        this.childOnly = childOnly;
    }

    public static void main(String [] args){

        System.out.println("Testing...");
        Child c1 = new Child();
        c1.setChildOnly("childOnly");
        c1.setNotReallyHidden("notReallyHidden");

        //Attempting to access parent's reallyHidden
            c1.reallyHidden;//Does not even compile

    }//main

}//Child

SQL Server: Is it possible to insert into two tables at the same time?

In one statement: No.

In one transaction: Yes

BEGIN TRANSACTION
   DECLARE @DataID int;
   INSERT INTO DataTable (Column1 ...) VALUES (....);
   SELECT @DataID = scope_identity();
   INSERT INTO LinkTable VALUES (@ObjectID, @DataID);
COMMIT

The good news is that the above code is also guaranteed to be atomic, and can be sent to the server from a client application with one sql string in a single function call as if it were one statement. You could also apply a trigger to one table to get the effect of a single insert. However, it's ultimately still two statements and you probably don't want to run the trigger for every insert.

How do you properly use WideCharToMultiByte

Here's a couple of functions (based on Brian Bondy's example) that use WideCharToMultiByte and MultiByteToWideChar to convert between std::wstring and std::string using utf8 to not lose any data.

// Convert a wide Unicode string to an UTF8 string
std::string utf8_encode(const std::wstring &wstr)
{
    if( wstr.empty() ) return std::string();
    int size_needed = WideCharToMultiByte(CP_UTF8, 0, &wstr[0], (int)wstr.size(), NULL, 0, NULL, NULL);
    std::string strTo( size_needed, 0 );
    WideCharToMultiByte                  (CP_UTF8, 0, &wstr[0], (int)wstr.size(), &strTo[0], size_needed, NULL, NULL);
    return strTo;
}

// Convert an UTF8 string to a wide Unicode String
std::wstring utf8_decode(const std::string &str)
{
    if( str.empty() ) return std::wstring();
    int size_needed = MultiByteToWideChar(CP_UTF8, 0, &str[0], (int)str.size(), NULL, 0);
    std::wstring wstrTo( size_needed, 0 );
    MultiByteToWideChar                  (CP_UTF8, 0, &str[0], (int)str.size(), &wstrTo[0], size_needed);
    return wstrTo;
}

lvalue required as left operand of assignment error when using C++

Put simply, an lvalue is something that can appear on the left-hand side of an assignment, typically a variable or array element.

So if you define int *p, then p is an lvalue. p+1, which is a valid expression, is not an lvalue.

If you're trying to add 1 to p, the correct syntax is:

p = p + 1;

Reading a .txt file using Scanner class in Java

private void loadData() {

    Scanner scanner = null;
    try {
        scanner = new Scanner(new File(getFileName()));
        while (scanner.hasNextLine()) {
            Scanner lijnScanner = new Scanner(scanner.nextLine());

            lijnScanner.useDelimiter(";");
            String stadVan = lijnScanner.next();
            String stadNaar = lijnScanner.next();
            double km = Double.parseDouble(lijnScanner.next());

            this.voegToe(new TweeSteden(stadVan, stadNaar), km);

        }
    } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
        throw new DbException(e.getMessage(), e);
    } finally {
        if(scanner != null){
            scanner.close();
        }
    }
}

Is it better in C++ to pass by value or pass by constant reference?

As a rule of thumb, value for non-class types and const reference for classes. If a class is really small it's probably better to pass by value, but the difference is minimal. What you really want to avoid is passing some gigantic class by value and having it all duplicated - this will make a huge difference if you're passing, say, a std::vector with quite a few elements in it.

jQuery add blank option to top of list and make selected to existing dropdown

This worked:

$("#theSelectId").prepend("<option value='' selected='selected'></option>");

Firebug Output:

  <option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
  <option value="saab">Saab</option>
  <option value="mercedes">Mercedes</option>
  <option value="audi">Audi</option>
</select>

You could also use .prependTo if you wanted to reverse the order:

?$("<option>", { value: '', selected: true }).prependTo("#theSelectId");???????????

Is there a JavaScript function that can pad a string to get to a determined length?

A friend asked about using a JavaScript function to pad left. It turned into a little bit of an endeavor between some of us in chat to code golf it. This was the result:

function l(p,t,v){
    v+="";return v.length>=t?v:l(p,t,p+v); 
}

It ensures that the value to be padded is a string, and then if it isn't the length of the total desired length it will pad it once and then recurse. Here is what it looks like with more logical naming and structure

function padLeft(pad, totalLength, value){
    value = value.toString();

    if( value.length >= totalLength ){
        return value;
    }else{
        return padLeft(pad, totalLength, pad + value);
    }
}

The example we were using was to ensure that numbers were padded with 0 to the left to make a max length of 6. Here is an example set:

_x000D_
_x000D_
function l(p,t,v){v+="";return v.length>=t?v:l(p,t,p+v);}_x000D_
_x000D_
var vals = [6451,123,466750];_x000D_
_x000D_
var pad = l(0,6,vals[0]);// pad with 0's, max length 6_x000D_
_x000D_
var pads = vals.map(function(i){ return l(0,6,i) });_x000D_
_x000D_
document.write(pads.join("<br />"));
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

PHP unable to load php_curl.dll extension

Add your php folder path to the System PATH and everything should work fine. It will also fix some other extensions that are broken.

$(this).serialize() -- How to add a value?

While matt b's answer will work, you can also use .serializeArray() to get an array from the form data, modify it, and use jQuery.param() to convert it to a url-encoded form. This way, jQuery handles the serialisation of your extra data for you.

var data = $(this).serializeArray(); // convert form to array
data.push({name: "NonFormValue", value: NonFormValue});
$.ajax({
    type: 'POST',
    url: this.action,
    data: $.param(data),
});

Undefined class constant 'MYSQL_ATTR_INIT_COMMAND' with pdo

I just tried with PHP 5.2, and that constant seems to exists :

var_dump(PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_INIT_COMMAND);

Gives me :

int 1002


But it seems there is a bug in PHP 5.3, that causes this constant to not exists anymore -- or, at least, not when the mysqlnd driver is used (and it's the one that's configured by default)

I suppose a temporary solution, as suggested on this bug report, could be to directly use the integer 1002 value, instead of the contant...

But note that you should go back to using the constant as soon as possible -- as this makes the code easier to understand.

Looping Over Result Sets in MySQL

Use cursors.

A cursor can be thought of like a buffered reader, when reading through a document. If you think of each row as a line in a document, then you would read the next line, perform your operations, and then advance the cursor.

Insert line at middle of file with Python?

Below is a slightly awkward solution for the special case in which you are creating the original file yourself and happen to know the insertion location (e.g. you know ahead of time that you will need to insert a line with an additional name before the third line, but won't know the name until after you've fetched and written the rest of the names). Reading, storing and then re-writing the entire contents of the file as described in other answers is, I think, more elegant than this option, but may be undesirable for large files.

You can leave a buffer of invisible null characters ('\0') at the insertion location to be overwritten later:

num_names = 1_000_000    # Enough data to make storing in a list unideal
max_len = 20             # The maximum allowed length of the inserted line
line_to_insert = 2       # The third line is at index 2 (0-based indexing)

with open(filename, 'w+') as file:
    for i in range(line_to_insert):
        name = get_name(i)                    # Returns 'Alfred' for i = 0, etc.
        file.write(F'{i + 1}. {name}\n')

    insert_position = file.tell()             # Position to jump back to for insertion
    file.write('\0' * max_len + '\n')         # Buffer will show up as a blank line

    for i in range(line_to_insert, num_names):
        name = get_name(i)
        file.write(F'{i + 2}. {name}\n')      # Line numbering now bumped up by 1.

# Later, once you have the name to insert...
with open(filename, 'r+') as file:            # Must use 'r+' to write to middle of file 
    file.seek(insert_position)                # Move stream to the insertion line
    name = get_bonus_name()                   # This lucky winner jumps up to 3rd place
    new_line = F'{line_to_insert + 1}. {name}'
    file.write(new_line[:max_len])            # Slice so you don't overwrite next line

Unfortunately there is no way to delete-without-replacement any excess null characters that did not get overwritten (or in general any characters anywhere in the middle of a file), unless you then re-write everything that follows. But the null characters will not affect how your file looks to a human (they have zero width).

error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _WinMain@16 referenced in function ___tmainCRTStartup

Besides changing it to Console (/SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE) as others have said, you may need to change the entry point in Properties -> Linker -> Advanced -> Entry Point. Set it to mainCRTStartup.

It seems that Visual Studio might be searching for the WinMain function instead of main, if you don't specify otherwise.

Why can't variables be declared in a switch statement?

The entire section of the switch is a single declaration context. You can't declare a variable in a case statement like that. Try this instead:

switch (val)  
{  
case VAL:
{
  // This will work
  int newVal = 42;
  break;
}
case ANOTHER_VAL:  
  ...
  break;
}

Check if a number is odd or even in python

Use the modulo operator:

if wordLength % 2 == 0:
    print "wordLength is even"
else:
    print "wordLength is odd"

For your problem, the simplest is to check if the word is equal to its reversed brother. You can do that with word[::-1], which create the list from word by taking every character from the end to the start:

def is_palindrome(word):
    return word == word[::-1]

Oracle TNS names not showing when adding new connection to SQL Developer

The steps mentioned by Jason are very good and should work. There is a little twist with SQL Developer, though. It caches the connection specifications (host, service name, port) the first time it reads the tnsnames.ora file. Then, it does not invalidate the specs when the original entry is removed from the tnsname.ora file. The cache persists even after SQL Developer has been terminated and restarted. This is not such an illogical way of handling the situation. Even if a tnsnames.ora file is temporarily unavailable, SQL Developer can still make the connection as long as the original specifications are still true. The problem comes with their next little twist. SQL Developer treats service names in the tnsnames.ora file as case-sensitive values when resolving the connection. So if you used to have an entry name ABCD.world in the file and you replaced it with an new entry named abcd.world, SQL Developer would NOT update its connection specs for ABCD.world - it will treat abcd.world as a different connection altogether. Why am I not surprised that an Oracle product would treat as case-sensitive the contents of an oracle-developed file format that is expressly case-insensitive?

How to get the number of characters in a string

If you need to take grapheme clusters into account, use regexp or unicode module. Counting the number of code points(runes) or bytes also is needed for validaiton since the length of grapheme cluster is unlimited. If you want to eliminate extremely long sequences, check if the sequences conform to stream-safe text format.

package main

import (
    "regexp"
    "unicode"
    "strings"
)

func main() {

    str := "\u0308" + "a\u0308" + "o\u0308" + "u\u0308"
    str2 := "a" + strings.Repeat("\u0308", 1000)

    println(4 == GraphemeCountInString(str))
    println(4 == GraphemeCountInString2(str))

    println(1 == GraphemeCountInString(str2))
    println(1 == GraphemeCountInString2(str2))

    println(true == IsStreamSafeString(str))
    println(false == IsStreamSafeString(str2))
}


func GraphemeCountInString(str string) int {
    re := regexp.MustCompile("\\PM\\pM*|.")
    return len(re.FindAllString(str, -1))
}

func GraphemeCountInString2(str string) int {

    length := 0
    checked := false
    index := 0

    for _, c := range str {

        if !unicode.Is(unicode.M, c) {
            length++

            if checked == false {
                checked = true
            }

        } else if checked == false {
            length++
        }

        index++
    }

    return length
}

func IsStreamSafeString(str string) bool {
    re := regexp.MustCompile("\\PM\\pM{30,}") 
    return !re.MatchString(str) 
}

Android: Flush DNS

copied from: https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/12962/flush-clear-dns-cache

Addresses are cached for 600 seconds (10 minutes) by default. Failed lookups are cached for 10 seconds. From everything I've seen, there's nothing built in to flush the cache. This is apparently a reported bug http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=7904 in Android because of the way it stores DNS cache. Clearing the browser cache doesn't touch the DNS, the "hard reset" clears it.

When do I use the PHP constant "PHP_EOL"?

I am using WebCalendar and found that Mac iCal barfs on importing a generated ics file because the end-of-line is hardcoded in xcal.php as "\r\n". I went in and replaced all occurrences with PHP_EOL and now iCal is happy! I also tested it on Vista and Outlook was able to import the file as well, even though the end of line character is "\n".

eclipse stuck when building workspace

In my case problem arise after importing downloaded project - stuck at 80% build. Solved by adding write permissions for group to project's files (Ubuntu 12.04).

json_decode() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given

Set decoding to true

Your decoding is not set to true. If you don't have access to set the source to true. The code below will fix it for you.

$WorkingArray = json_decode(json_encode($data),true);

Any implementation of Ordered Set in Java?

Take a look at LinkedHashSet class

From Java doc:

Hash table and linked list implementation of the Set interface, with predictable iteration order. This implementation differs from HashSet in that it maintains a doubly-linked list running through all of its entries. This linked list defines the iteration ordering, which is the order in which elements were inserted into the set (insertion-order). Note that insertion order is not affected if an element is re-inserted into the set. (An element e is reinserted into a set s if s.add(e) is invoked when s.contains(e) would return true immediately prior to the invocation.).

Disable keyboard on EditText

To add to Alex Kucherenko solution: the issue with the cursor getting disappearing after calling setInputType(0) is due to a framework bug on ICS (and JB).

The bug is documented here: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=27609.

To workaround this, call setRawInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT) right after the setInputType call.

To stop the keyboard from appearing, just override OnTouchListener of the EditText and return true (swallowing the touch event):

ed.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {

            @Override
            public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {

                return true;
            }
        });

The reasons for the cursor appearing on GB devices and not on ICS+ had me tearing my hair out for a couple of hours, so I hope this saves someone's time.

How to debug a referenced dll (having pdb)

It must work. I used to debug a .exe file and a dll at the same time ! What I suggest is 1) Include the path of the dll in your B project, 2) Then compile in debug your A project 3) Control that the path points on the A dll and de pdb file.... 4)After that you start in debug the B project and if all is ok, you will be able to debug in both projects !

How to avoid warning when introducing NAs by coercion

In general suppressing warnings is not the best solution as you may want to be warned when some unexpected input will be provided.
Solution below is wrapper for maintaining just NA during data type conversion. Doesn't require any package.

as.num = function(x, na.strings = "NA") {
    stopifnot(is.character(x))
    na = x %in% na.strings
    x[na] = 0
    x = as.numeric(x)
    x[na] = NA_real_
    x
}
as.num(c("1", "2", "X"), na.strings="X")
#[1]  1  2 NA

alert(Game.status[0][0]);

Difference between string object and string literal

According to String class documentation they are equivalent.

Documentation for String(String original) also says that: Unless an explicit copy of original is needed, use of this constructor is unnecessary since Strings are immutable.

Look for other responses, because it seems that Java documentation is misleading :(

What is the difference between a static and const variable?

Constants can't be changed, static variables have more to do with how they are allocated and where they are accessible.

Angular - How to apply [ngStyle] conditions

You can use an inline if inside your ngStyle:

[ngStyle]="styleOne?{'background-color': 'red'} : {'background-color': 'blue'}"

A batter way in my opinion is to store your background color inside a variable and then set the background-color as the variable value:

[style.background-color]="myColorVaraible"

Copy data from another Workbook through VBA

I had the same question but applying the provided solutions changed the file to write in. Once I selected the new excel file, I was also writing in that file and not in my original file. My solution for this issue is below:

Sub GetData()

    Dim excelapp As Application
    Dim source As Workbook
    Dim srcSH1 As Worksheet
    Dim sh As Worksheet
    Dim path As String
    Dim nmr As Long
    Dim i As Long

    nmr = 20

    Set excelapp = New Application

    With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogOpen)
        .AllowMultiSelect = False
        .Filters.Add "Excel Files", "*.xlsx; *.xlsm; *.xls; *.xlsb", 1
        .Show
        path = .SelectedItems.Item(1)
    End With

    Set source = excelapp.Workbooks.Open(path)
    Set srcSH1 = source.Worksheets("Sheet1")
    Set sh = Sheets("Sheet1")

    For i = 1 To nmr
        sh.Cells(i, "A").Value = srcSH1.Cells(i, "A").Value
    Next i

End Sub

With excelapp a new application will be called. The with block sets the path for the external file. Finally, I set the external Workbook with source and srcSH1 as a Worksheet within the external sheet.

find: missing argument to -exec

A -exec command must be terminated with a ; (so you usually need to type \; or ';' to avoid interpretion by the shell) or a +. The difference is that with ;, the command is called once per file, with +, it is called just as few times as possible (usually once, but there is a maximum length for a command line, so it might be split up) with all filenames. See this example:

$ cat /tmp/echoargs
#!/bin/sh
echo $1 - $2 - $3
$ find /tmp/foo -exec /tmp/echoargs {} \;
/tmp/foo - -
/tmp/foo/one - -
/tmp/foo/two - -
$ find /tmp/foo -exec /tmp/echoargs {} +
/tmp/foo - /tmp/foo/one - /tmp/foo/two

Your command has two errors:

First, you use {};, but the ; must be a parameter of its own.

Second, the command ends at the &&. You specified “run find, and if that was successful, remove the file named {};.“. If you want to use shell stuff in the -exec command, you need to explicitly run it in a shell, such as -exec sh -c 'ffmpeg ... && rm'.

However you should not add the {} inside the bash command, it will produce problems when there are special characters. Instead, you can pass additional parameters to the shell after -c command_string (see man sh):

$ ls
$(echo damn.)
$ find * -exec sh -c 'echo "{}"' \;
damn.
$ find * -exec sh -c 'echo "$1"' - {} \;
$(echo damn.)

You see the $ thing is evaluated by the shell in the first example. Imagine there was a file called $(rm -rf /) :-)

(Side note: The - is not needed, but the first variable after the command is assigned to the variable $0, which is a special variable normally containing the name of the program being run and setting that to a parameter is a little unclean, though it won't cause any harm here probably, so we set that to just - and start with $1.)

So your command could be something like

find -exec bash -c 'ffmpeg -i "$1" -sameq "$1".mp3 && rm "$1".mp3' - {} \;

But there is a better way. find supports and and or, so you may do stuff like find -name foo -or -name bar. But that also works with -exec, which evaluates to true if the command exits successfully, and to false if not. See this example:

$ ls
false  true
$ find * -exec {} \; -and -print
true

It only runs the print if the command was successfully, which it did for true but not for false.

So you can use two exec statements chained with an -and, and it will only execute the latter if the former was run successfully.

cannot be cast to java.lang.Comparable

I faced a similar kind of issue while using a custom object as a key in Treemap. Whenever you are using a custom object as a key in hashmap then you override two function equals and hashcode, However if you are using ContainsKey method of Treemap on this object then you need to override CompareTo method as well otherwise you will be getting this error Someone using a custom object as a key in hashmap in kotlin should do like following

 data class CustomObjectKey(var key1:String = "" , var 
 key2:String = ""):Comparable<CustomObjectKey?>
 {
override fun compareTo(other: CustomObjectKey?): Int {
    if(other == null)
        return -1
   // suppose you want to do comparison based on key 1 
    return this.key1.compareTo((other)key1)
}

override fun equals(other: Any?): Boolean {
    if(other == null)
        return false
    return this.key1 == (other as CustomObjectKey).key1
}

override fun hashCode(): Int {
    return this.key1.hashCode()
} 
}

How do you post to the wall on a facebook page (not profile)

Is it possible to write to the console in colour in .NET?

I've created a small plugin (available on NuGet) that allows you to add any (if supported by your terminal) color to your console output, without the limitations of the classic solutions.

It works by extending the String object and the syntax is very simple:

"colorize me".Pastel("#1E90FF");

Both foreground and background colors are supported.

How do you wait for input on the same Console.WriteLine() line?

As Matt has said, use Console.Write. I would also recommend explicitly flushing the output, however - I believe WriteLine does this automatically, but I'd seen oddities when just using Console.Write and then waiting. So Matt's code becomes:

Console.Write("What is your name? ");
Console.Out.Flush();
var name = Console.ReadLine();

CodeIgniter: "Unable to load the requested class"

I had a similar issue when deploying from OSx on my local to my Linux live site.

It ran fine on OSx, but on Linux I was getting:

An Error Was Encountered

Unable to load the requested class: Ckeditor

The problem was that Linux paths are apparently case-sensitive so I had to rename my library files from "ckeditor.php" to "CKEditor.php".

I also changed my load call to match the capitalization:

$this->load->library('CKEditor');

How to load data to hive from HDFS without removing the source file?

from your question I assume that you already have your data in hdfs. So you don't need to LOAD DATA, which moves the files to the default hive location /user/hive/warehouse. You can simply define the table using the externalkeyword, which leaves the files in place, but creates the table definition in the hive metastore. See here: Create Table DDL eg.:

create external table table_name (
  id int,
  myfields string
)
location '/my/location/in/hdfs';

Please note that the format you use might differ from the default (as mentioned by JigneshRawal in the comments). You can use your own delimiter, for example when using Sqoop:

row format delimited fields terminated by ','

Send raw ZPL to Zebra printer via USB

I've found yet an easier way to write to a Zebra printer over a COM port. I went to the Windows control panel and added a new printer. For the port, I chose COM1 (the port the printer was plugged in to). I used a "Generic / Text Only" printer driver. I disabled the print spooler (a standard option in the printer preferences) as well as all advanced printing options. Now, I can just print any string to that printer and if the string contains ZPL, the printer renders the ZPL just fine! No need for special "start sequences" or funky stuff like that. Yay for simplicity!

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

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

Auto logout with Angularjs based on idle user

I wrote a module called Ng-Idle that may be useful to you in this situation. Here is the page which contains instructions and a demo.

Basically, it has a service that starts a timer for your idle duration that can be disrupted by user activity (events, such as clicking, scrolling, typing). You can also manually interrupt the timeout by calling a method on the service. If the timeout is not disrupted, then it counts down a warning where you could alert the user they are going to be logged out. If they do not respond after the warning countdown reaches 0, an event is broadcasted that your application can respond to. In your case, it could issue a request to kill their session and redirect to a login page.

Additionally, it has a keep-alive service that can ping some URL at an interval. This can be used by your app to keep a user's session alive while they are active. The idle service by default integrates with the keep-alive service, suspending the pinging if they become idle, and resuming it when they return.

All the info you need to get started is on the site with more details in the wiki. However, here's a snippet of config showing how to sign them out when they time out.

angular.module('demo', ['ngIdle'])
// omitted for brevity
.config(function(IdleProvider, KeepaliveProvider) {
  IdleProvider.idle(10*60); // 10 minutes idle
  IdleProvider.timeout(30); // after 30 seconds idle, time the user out
  KeepaliveProvider.interval(5*60); // 5 minute keep-alive ping
})
.run(function($rootScope) {
    $rootScope.$on('IdleTimeout', function() {
        // end their session and redirect to login
    });
});

Ruby: How to post a file via HTTP as multipart/form-data?

Why are hexadecimal numbers prefixed with 0x?

Note: I don't know the correct answer, but the below is just my personal speculation!

As has been mentioned a 0 before a number means it's octal:

04524 // octal, leading 0

Imagine needing to come up with a system to denote hexadecimal numbers, and note we're working in a C style environment. How about ending with h like assembly? Unfortunately you can't - it would allow you to make tokens which are valid identifiers (eg. you could name a variable the same thing) which would make for some nasty ambiguities.

8000h // hex
FF00h // oops - valid identifier!  Hex or a variable or type named FF00h?

You can't lead with a character for the same reason:

xFF00 // also valid identifier

Using a hash was probably thrown out because it conflicts with the preprocessor:

#define ...
#FF00 // invalid preprocessor token?

In the end, for whatever reason, they decided to put an x after a leading 0 to denote hexadecimal. It is unambiguous since it still starts with a number character so can't be a valid identifier, and is probably based off the octal convention of a leading 0.

0xFF00 // definitely not an identifier!

Object object=null;
JSONArray arrayObj=null;
JSONParser jsonParser=new JSONParser();
object=jsonParser.parse(data);
arrayObj=(JSONArray) object;
System.out.println("Json object :: "+arrayObj);

JsonParser jsonParser = new JsonParser();
JsonArray jsonArray = (JsonArray) jsonParser.parse(data);

How to get a pixel's x,y coordinate color from an image?

Building on Jeff's answer, your first step would be to create a canvas representation of your PNG. The following creates an off-screen canvas that is the same width and height as your image and has the image drawn on it.

var img = document.getElementById('my-image');
var canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
canvas.width = img.width;
canvas.height = img.height;
canvas.getContext('2d').drawImage(img, 0, 0, img.width, img.height);

After that, when a user clicks, use event.offsetX and event.offsetY to get the position. This can then be used to acquire the pixel:

var pixelData = canvas.getContext('2d').getImageData(event.offsetX, event.offsetY, 1, 1).data;

Because you are only grabbing one pixel, pixelData is a four entry array containing the pixel's R, G, B, and A values. For alpha, anything less than 255 represents some level of transparency with 0 being fully transparent.

Here is a jsFiddle example: http://jsfiddle.net/thirtydot/9SEMf/869/ I used jQuery for convenience in all of this, but it is by no means required.

Note: getImageData falls under the browser's same-origin policy to prevent data leaks, meaning this technique will fail if you dirty the canvas with an image from another domain or (I believe, but some browsers may have solved this) SVG from any domain. This protects against cases where a site serves up a custom image asset for a logged in user and an attacker wants to read the image to get information. You can solve the problem by either serving the image from the same server or implementing Cross-origin resource sharing.

In c, in bool, true == 1 and false == 0?

You neglected to say which version of C you are concerned about. Let's assume it's this one:

http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1570.pdf

As you can see by reading the specification, the standard definitions of true and false are 1 and 0, yes.

If your question is about a different version of C, or about non-standard definitions for true and false, then ask a more specific question.

import statements of .js and extensionless files are treated as ES modules if the nearest parent package.json contains "type": "module".

{
  "type": "module",
  "main": "./src/index.js"
}

(Of course you still have to provide the flag --experimental-modules when starting your application.)
