Dart SDK is not configured

The reasons for this error can be either you did not install Flutter or you are using an older version of Flutter 1.21. So it is advisable to check the above things first of all. If none of the above things are the reasons for your error you can follow the below steps and it might help you.

  1. Go to File --> Settings
  2. Then Languages and Frameworks --> Flutter

Flutter SDK path should be empty here. The problem is in here

  1. Copy the Flutter SDK path
  2. Paste it in the empty text field
  3. Apply and OK

  1. run cmd as administrator mode.

  2. write command npm start.

Sort collection by multiple fields in Kotlin

Use sortedWith to sort a list with Comparator.

You can then construct a comparator using several ways:

  • compareBy, thenBy construct the comparator in a chain of calls:

    list.sortedWith(compareBy<Person> { it.age }.thenBy { it.name }.thenBy { it.address })
    
  • compareBy has an overload which takes multiple functions:

    list.sortedWith(compareBy({ it.age }, { it.name }, { it.address }))
    

Custom header to HttpClient request

var request = new HttpRequestMessage {
    RequestUri = new Uri("[your request url string]"),
    Method = HttpMethod.Post,
    Headers = {
        { "X-Version", "1" } // HERE IS HOW TO ADD HEADERS,
        { HttpRequestHeader.Authorization.ToString(), "[your authorization token]" },
        { HttpRequestHeader.ContentType.ToString(), "multipart/mixed" },//use this content type if you want to send more than one content type
    },
    Content = new MultipartContent { // Just example of request sending multipart request
        new ObjectContent<[YOUR JSON OBJECT TYPE]>(
            new [YOUR JSON OBJECT TYPE INSTANCE](...){...}, 
            new JsonMediaTypeFormatter(), 
            "application/json"), // this will add 'Content-Type' header for the first part of request
        new ByteArrayContent([BINARY DATA]) {
            Headers = { // this will add headers for the second part of request
                { "Content-Type", "application/Executable" },
                { "Content-Disposition", "form-data; filename=\"test.pdf\"" },
            },
        },
    },

Bootstrap-select - how to fire event on change

$("#Id").change(function(){
    var selected = $('#Id option:selected').val();
    alert(selected);           
});

I think this is what you need.

Column/Vertical selection with Keyboard in SublimeText 3

The reason why the sublime documented shortcuts for Mac does not work are they are linked to the shortcuts of other Mac functionalities such as Mission Control, Application Windows, etc. Solution: Go to System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts and then un-check the options for Mission Control and Application Windows. Now try "Control + Shift [+ Arrow keys]" for selecting the required text and then move the cursor to the required location without any mouse click, so that the selection can be pasted with the correct indentation at the required location.

Bootstrap 3 Carousel Not Working

There are just two minor things here.

The first is in the following carousel indicator list items:

<li data-target="carousel" data-slide-to="0"></li>

You need to pass the data-target attribute a selector which means the ID must be prefixed with #. So change them to the following:

<li data-target="#carousel" data-slide-to="0"></li>

Secondly, you need to give the carousel a starting point so both the carousel indicator items and the carousel inner items must have one active class. Like this:

<ol class="carousel-indicators">
    <li data-target="#carousel" data-slide-to="0" class="active"></li>
    <!-- Other Items -->
</ol>
<div class="carousel-inner">
    <div class="item active">
        <img src="https://picsum.photos/1500/600?image=1" alt="Slide 1" />
    </div>
    <!-- Other Items -->
</div>

Automapper missing type map configuration or unsupported mapping - Error

I know this is a rather old question as of now, but I had found the proper solution was that I was not declaring the assembly attribute.

My code is:

using AutoMapper;
...

namespace [...].Controllers
{
    public class HousingTenureTypesController : LookupController<HousingTenureType, LookupTypeModel>
    {
        Mapper.CreateMap<HousingTenureType, LookupTypeModel>().ReverseMap();
    }
    ...
}

This was fixed by adding the following line before my namespace declaration:

[assembly: WebActivatorEx.PreApplicationStartMethod(typeof(HousingTenureTypesController), "AutoMapperStart")]

The full code is:

using AutoMapper;
...

[assembly: WebActivatorEx.PreApplicationStartMethod(typeof(HousingTenureTypesController), "AutoMapperStart")]

namespace [...].Controllers
{
    public class HousingTenureTypesController : LookupController<HousingTenureType, LookupTypeModel>
    {
        Mapper.CreateMap<HousingTenureType, LookupTypeModel>().ReverseMap();
    }
    ...
}

Get index of selected option with jQuery

You can get the index of the select box by using : .prop() method of JQuery

Check This :

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src = "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){

});

function check(){
    alert($("#NumberSelector").prop('selectedIndex'));
    alert(document.getElementById("NumberSelector").value);
}
</script>
</head>

<body bgcolor="yellow">
<div>
<select id="NumberSelector" onchange="check()">
    <option value="Its Zero">Zero</option>
    <option value="Its One">One</option>
    <option value="Its Two">Two</option>
    <option value="Its Three">Three</option>
    <option value="Its Four">Four</option>
    <option value="Its Five">Five</option>
    <option value="Its Six">Six</option>
    <option value="Its Seven">Seven</option>
</select>

How to remove MySQL completely with config and library files?

With the command:

sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql\*

you can delete anything related to packages named mysql. Those commands are only valid on debian / debian-based linux distributions (Ubuntu for example).

You can list all installed mysql packages with the command:

sudo dpkg -l | grep -i mysql

For more cleanup of the package cache, you can use the command:

sudo apt-get clean

Also, remember to use the command:

sudo updatedb

Otherwise the "locate" command will display old data.

To install mysql again, use the following command:

sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev mysql-client

This will install the mysql client, libmysql and its headers files.

To install the mysql server, use the command:

sudo apt-get install mysql-server

How to redirect the output of an application in background to /dev/null

These will also redirect both:

yourcommand  &> /dev/null

yourcommand  >& /dev/null

though the bash manual says the first is preferred.

Delimiter must not be alphanumeric or backslash and preg_match

You need a delimiter for your pattern. It should be added at the start and end of the pattern like so:

$pattern = "/My name is '(.*)' and im fine/";  // With / as a delimeter 

RegEx for valid international mobile phone number

^\+[1-9]{1}[0-9]{7,11}$ 

The Regular Expression ^\+[1-9]{1}[0-9]{7,11}$ fails for "+290 8000" and similar valid numbers that are shorter than 8 digits.

The longest numbers could be something like 3 digit country code, 3 digit area code, 8 digit subscriber number, making 14 digits.

How to Select Columns in Editors (Atom,Notepad++, Kate, VIM, Sublime, Textpad,etc) and IDEs (NetBeans, IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse, Visual Studio, etc)

on Kate

Ctrl + Shift + B also allows you to add more columns by simply clicking anywhere and paste it.

I used this when saving text files I copied from Google Translate as a side-by-side view.

Generating a drop down list of timezones with PHP

In some projects it really doesn't make sense to have the detailed timezones of Africa, Europe or Pacific. So here is a short version

$timezoneTable = array(
    "-12" => "(GMT -12:00) Eniwetok, Kwajalein",
    "-11" => "(GMT -11:00) Midway Island, Samoa",
    "-10" => "(GMT -10:00) Hawaii",
    "-9" => "(GMT -9:00) Alaska",
    "-8" => "(GMT -8:00) Pacific Time (US &amp; Canada)",
    "-7" => "(GMT -7:00) Mountain Time (US &amp; Canada)",
    "-6" => "(GMT -6:00) Central Time (US &amp; Canada), Mexico City",
    "-5" => "(GMT -5:00) Eastern Time (US &amp; Canada), Bogota, Lima",
    "-4" => "(GMT -4:00) Atlantic Time (Canada), Caracas, La Paz",
    "-3.5" => "(GMT -3:30) Newfoundland",
    "-3" => "(GMT -3:00) Brazil, Buenos Aires, Georgetown",
    "-2" => "(GMT -2:00) Mid-Atlantic",
    "-1" => "(GMT -1:00) Azores, Cape Verde Islands",
    "0" => "(GMT) Western Europe Time, London, Lisbon, Casablanca",
    "1" => "(GMT +1:00) Brussels, Copenhagen, Madrid, Paris",
    "2" => "(GMT +2:00) Kaliningrad, South Africa",
    "3" => "(GMT +3:00) Baghdad, Riyadh, Moscow, St. Petersburg",
    "3.5" => "(GMT +3:30) Tehran",
    "4" => "(GMT +4:00) Abu Dhabi, Muscat, Baku, Tbilisi",
    "4.5" => "(GMT +4:30) Kabul",
    "5" => "(GMT +5:00) Ekaterinburg, Islamabad, Karachi, Tashkent",
    "5.5" => "(GMT +5:30) Bombay, Calcutta, Madras, New Delhi",
    "6" => "(GMT +6:00) Almaty, Dhaka, Colombo",
    "7" => "(GMT +7:00) Bangkok, Hanoi, Jakarta",
    "8" => "(GMT +8:00) Beijing, Perth, Singapore, Hong Kong",
    "9" => "(GMT +9:00) Tokyo, Seoul, Osaka, Sapporo, Yakutsk",
    "9.5" => "(GMT +9:30) Adelaide, Darwin",
    "10" => "(GMT +10:00) Eastern Australia, Guam, Vladivostok",
    "11" => "(GMT +11:00) Magadan, Solomon Islands, New Caledonia",
    "12" => "(GMT +12:00) Auckland, Wellington, Fiji, Kamchatka"
);

echo "<select>";
foreach ($timezoneTable as $k => $v){
    $sel = ($k==-5)?" selected":"";
    echo "<option value='".$k."'".$sel.">".$v."</option>";
}
echo "</select>" 

this will generate a select as below:

C# Example of AES256 encryption using System.Security.Cryptography.Aes

Once I'd discovered all the information of how my client was handling the encryption/decryption at their end it was straight forward using the AesManaged example suggested by dtb.

The finally implemented code started like this:

    try
    {
        // Create a new instance of the AesManaged class.  This generates a new key and initialization vector (IV).
        AesManaged myAes = new AesManaged();

        // Override the cipher mode, key and IV
        myAes.Mode = CipherMode.ECB;
        myAes.IV = new byte[16] { 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 }; // CRB mode uses an empty IV
        myAes.Key = CipherKey;  // Byte array representing the key
        myAes.Padding = PaddingMode.None;

        // Create a encryption object to perform the stream transform.
        ICryptoTransform encryptor = myAes.CreateEncryptor();

        // TODO: perform the encryption / decryption as required...

    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        // TODO: Log the error 
        throw ex;
    }

ThreeJS: Remove object from scene

clearScene: function() {
    var objsToRemove = _.rest(scene.children, 1);
    _.each(objsToRemove, function( object ) {
          scene.remove(object);
    });
},

this uses undescore.js to iterrate over all children (except the first) in a scene (it's part of code I use to clear a scene). just make sure you render the scene at least once after deleting, because otherwise the canvas does not change! There is no need for a "special" obj flag or anything like this.

Also you don't delete the object by name, just by the object itself, so calling

scene.remove(object); 

instead of scene.remove(object.name); can be enough

PS: _.each is a function of underscore.js

How to call a REST web service API from JavaScript?

Usual way is to go with PHP and ajax. But for your requirement, below will work fine.

<body>

https://www.google.com/controller/Add/2/2<br>
https://www.google.com/controller/Sub/5/2<br>
https://www.google.com/controller/Multi/3/2<br><br>

<input type="text" id="url" placeholder="RESTful URL" />
<input type="button" id="sub" value="Answer" />
<p>
<div id="display"></div>
</body>

<script type="text/javascript">

document.getElementById('sub').onclick = function(){

var url = document.getElementById('url').value;
var controller = null; 
var method = null; 
var parm = []; 

//validating URLs
function URLValidation(url){
if (url.indexOf("http://") == 0 || url.indexOf("https://") == 0) {
var x = url.split('/');
controller = x[3];
method = x[4]; 
parm[0] = x[5]; 
parm[1] = x[6];
 }
}

//Calculations
function Add(a,b){
return Number(a)+ Number(b);
}
function Sub(a,b){
return Number(a)/Number(b);
}
function Multi(a,b){
return Number(a)*Number(b);
}  

//JSON Response
function ResponseRequest(status,res){
var res = {status: status, response: res};
document.getElementById('display').innerHTML = JSON.stringify(res);
}


//Process
function ProcessRequest(){

if(method=="Add"){
    ResponseRequest("200",Add(parm[0],parm[1]));
}else if(method=="Sub"){
    ResponseRequest("200",Sub(parm[0],parm[1]));
}else if(method=="Multi"){
   ResponseRequest("200",Multi(parm[0],parm[1]));
}else {
    ResponseRequest("404","Not Found");
 }

}

URLValidation(url);
ProcessRequest();

};
</script>

How do you run CMD.exe under the Local System Account?

There is another way. There is a program called PowerRun which allows for elevated cmd to be run. Even with TrustedInstaller rights. It allows for both console and GUI commands.

How do I make a https post in Node Js without any third party module?

For example, like this:

const querystring = require('querystring');
const https = require('https');

var postData = querystring.stringify({
    'msg' : 'Hello World!'
});

var options = {
  hostname: 'posttestserver.com',
  port: 443,
  path: '/post.php',
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
       'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
       'Content-Length': postData.length
     }
};

var req = https.request(options, (res) => {
  console.log('statusCode:', res.statusCode);
  console.log('headers:', res.headers);

  res.on('data', (d) => {
    process.stdout.write(d);
  });
});

req.on('error', (e) => {
  console.error(e);
});

req.write(postData);
req.end();

Running Command Line in Java

You can also watch the output like this:

final Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("java -jar map.jar time.rel test.txt debug");

new Thread(new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
        BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
        String line = null;

        try {
            while ((line = input.readLine()) != null)
                System.out.println(line);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}).start();

p.waitFor();

And don't forget, if you are running a windows command, you need to put cmd /c in front of your command.

EDIT: And for bonus points, you can also use ProcessBuilder to pass input to a program:

String[] command = new String[] {
        "choice",
        "/C",
        "YN",
        "/M",
        "\"Press Y if you're cool\""
};
String inputLine = "Y";

ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder(command);
pb.redirectErrorStream(true);
Process p = pb.start();
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(p.getOutputStream()));

writer.write(inputLine);
writer.newLine();
writer.close();

String line;

while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
    System.out.println(line);
}

This will run the windows command choice /C YN /M "Press Y if you're cool" and respond with a Y. So, the output will be:

Press Y if you're cool [Y,N]?Y

How to install the Six module in Python2.7

You need to install this

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/six

If you still don't know what pip is , then please also google for pip install

Python has it's own package manager which is supposed to help you finding packages and their dependencies: http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/

How to round a number to significant figures in Python

I modified indgar's solution to handle negative numbers and small numbers (including zero).

from math import log10, floor
def round_sig(x, sig=6, small_value=1.0e-9):
    return round(x, sig - int(floor(log10(max(abs(x), abs(small_value))))) - 1)

How to delete object from array inside foreach loop?

This should do the trick.....

reset($array);
while (list($elementKey, $element) = each($array)) {
    while (list($key, $value2) = each($element)) {
        if($key == 'id' && $value == 'searched_value') {
            unset($array[$elementKey]);
        }
    }
}

All com.android.support libraries must use the exact same version specification

I used these two to solve my problem after upgrading to android studio 2.3

compile 'com.android.support:animated-vector-drawable:25.0.0'
compile 'com.android.support:mediarouter-v7:25.0.0'

Disable a Button

If you want the button to stay static without the "pressed" appearance:

// Swift 2
editButton.userInteractionEnabled = false 

// Swift 3
editButton.isUserInteractionEnabled = false 

Remember:

1) Your IBOutlet is --> @IBOutlet weak var editButton: UIButton!

2) Code above goes in viewWillAppear

Set HTML element's style property in javascript

Don't set the style object itself, set the background color property of the style object that is a property of the element.

And yes, even though you said no, jquery and tablesorter with its zebra stripe plugin can do this all for you in 3 lines of code.

And just setting the class attribute would be better since then you have non-hard-coded control over the styling which is more organized

Passing variables through handlebars partial

Sounds like you want to do something like this:

{{> person {another: 'attribute'} }}

Yehuda already gave you a way of doing that:

{{> person this}}

But to clarify:

To give your partial its own data, just give it its own model inside the existing model, like so:

{{> person this.childContext}}

In other words, if this is the model you're giving to your template:

var model = {
    some : 'attribute'
}

Then add a new object to be given to the partial:

var model = {
    some : 'attribute',
    childContext : {
        'another' : 'attribute' // this goes to the child partial
    }
}

childContext becomes the context of the partial like Yehuda said -- in that, it only sees the field another, but it doesn't see (or care about the field some). If you had id in the top level model, and repeat id again in the childContext, that'll work just fine as the partial only sees what's inside childContext.

Using putty to scp from windows to Linux

You need to tell scp where to send the file. In your command that is not working:

scp C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\WMU\5260\A2.c ~

You have not mentioned a remote server. scp uses : to delimit the host and path, so it thinks you have asked it to download a file at the path \Users\Admin\Desktop\WMU\5260\A2.c from the host C to your local home directory.

The correct upload command, based on your comments, should be something like:

C:\> pscp C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\WMU\5260\A2.c [email protected]:

If you are running the command from your home directory, you can use a relative path:

C:\Users\Admin> pscp Desktop\WMU\5260\A2.c [email protected]:

You can also mention the directory where you want to this folder to be downloaded to at the remote server. i.e by just adding a path to the folder as below:

C:/> pscp C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\WMU\5260\A2.c [email protected]:/home/path_to_the_folder/

React Native: Possible unhandled promise rejection

Adding here my experience that hopefully might help somebody.

I was experiencing the same issue on Android emulator in Linux with hot reload. The code was correct as per accepted answer and the emulator could reach the internet (I needed a domain name).

Refreshing manually the app made it work. So maybe it has something to do with the hot reloading.

How do I turn a python datetime into a string, with readable format date?

Here is how you can accomplish the same using python's general formatting function...

>>>from datetime import datetime
>>>"{:%B %d, %Y}".format(datetime.now())

The formatting characters used here are the same as those used by strftime. Don't miss the leading : in the format specifier.

Using format() instead of strftime() in most cases can make the code more readable, easier to write and consistent with the way formatted output is generated...

>>>"{} today's date is: {:%B %d, %Y}".format("Andre", datetime.now())

Compare the above with the following strftime() alternative...

>>>"{} today's date is {}".format("Andre", datetime.now().strftime("%B %d, %Y"))

Moreover, the following is not going to work...

>>>datetime.now().strftime("%s %B %d, %Y" % "Andre")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#11>", line 1, in <module>
    datetime.now().strftime("%s %B %d, %Y" % "Andre")
TypeError: not enough arguments for format string

And so on...

Django - Static file not found

STATICFILES_DIRS is used in development and STATIC_ROOT in production,

STATICFILES_DIRS and STATIC_ROOT should not have same folder name,

If you need to use the exact same static folder in development and production, try this method

include this in settings.py

import socket

HOSTNAME = socket.gethostname()

# if hostname same as production url name use STATIC_ROOT 
if HOSTNAME == 'www.example.com':
    STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static/")

else:
    STATICFILES_DIRS = [
            os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static/'),
        ]

How to check if a std::thread is still running?

Create a mutex that the running thread and the calling thread both have access to. When the running thread starts it locks the mutex, and when it ends it unlocks the mutex. To check if the thread is still running, the calling thread calls mutex.try_lock(). The return value of that is the status of the thread. (Just make sure to unlock the mutex if the try_lock worked)

One small problem with this, mutex.try_lock() will return false between the time the thread is created, and when it locks the mutex, but this can be avoided using a slightly more complex method.

UICollectionView - dynamic cell height?

Swift 4.*

I have created a Xib for UICollectionViewCell which seems to be the good approach.

extension ViewController: UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout {

    func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, sizeForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGSize {
        return size(indexPath: indexPath)
    }

    private func size(for indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGSize {
        // load cell from Xib
        let cell = Bundle.main.loadNibNamed("ACollectionViewCell", owner: self, options: nil)?.first as! ACollectionViewCell

        // configure cell with data in it
        let data = self.data[indexPath.item]
        cell.configure(withData: data)

        cell.setNeedsLayout()
        cell.layoutIfNeeded()

        // width that you want
        let width = collectionView.frame.width
        let height: CGFloat = 0

        let targetSize = CGSize(width: width, height: height)

        // get size with width that you want and automatic height
        let size = cell.contentView.systemLayoutSizeFitting(targetSize, withHorizontalFittingPriority: .defaultHigh, verticalFittingPriority: .fittingSizeLevel)
        // if you want height and width both to be dynamic use below
        // let size = cell.contentView.systemLayoutSizeFitting(UILayoutFittingCompressedSize)

        return size
    }
}

#note: I don't recommend setting image when configuring data in this size determining case. It gave me the distorted/unwanted result. Configuring texts only gave me below result.

Determine function name from within that function (without using traceback)

Python doesn't have a feature to access the function or its name within the function itself. It has been proposed but rejected. If you don't want to play with the stack yourself, you should either use "bar" or bar.__name__ depending on context.

The given rejection notice is:

This PEP is rejected. It is not clear how it should be implemented or what the precise semantics should be in edge cases, and there aren't enough important use cases given. response has been lukewarm at best.

Make var_dump look pretty

The best what and easiest way to get nice var_dump is use xDebug (must have for any php dev) Debian way install

In console: apt-get install php-xdebug after that you should open php.ini (depends on which stack you use) for it's /etc/php/7.0/fpm/php.ini

Search for display_errors

set same -> display_errors = On

Compare two objects with .equals() and == operator

The best way to compare 2 objects is by converting them into json strings and compare the strings, its the easiest solution when dealing with complicated nested objects, fields and/or objects that contain arrays.

sample:

import com.google.gson.Gson;


Object a = // ...;
Object b = //...;
String objectString1 = new Gson().toJson(a);
String objectString2 = new Gson().toJson(b); 

if(objectString1.equals(objectString2)){
    //do this
}

How to see docker image contents

We can try a simpler one as follows:

docker image inspect image_id

This worked in Docker version:

Using lambda expressions for event handlers

There are no performance implications since the compiler will translate your lambda expression into an equivalent delegate. Lambda expressions are nothing more than a language feature that the compiler translates into the exact same code that you are used to working with.

The compiler will convert the code you have to something like this:

public partial class MyPage : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        //snip
        MyButton.Click += new EventHandler(delegate (Object o, EventArgs a) 
        {
            //snip
        });
    }
}

(Built-in) way in JavaScript to check if a string is a valid number

Maybe there are one or two people coming across this question who need a much stricter check than usual (like I did). In that case, this might be useful:

if(str === String(Number(str))) {
  // it's a "perfectly formatted" number
}

Beware! This will reject strings like .1, 40.000, 080, 00.1. It's very picky - the string must match the "most minimal perfect form" of the number for this test to pass.

It uses the String and Number constructor to cast the string to a number and back again and thus checks if the JavaScript engine's "perfect minimal form" (the one it got converted to with the initial Number constructor) matches the original string.

Application Crashes With "Internal Error In The .NET Runtime"

In my case this error occured when logging in SAP Business One 9.1 application. In Windows events I could find also another error event in addition to the one reported by the OP:

Test if a property is available on a dynamic variable

Just in case it helps someone:

If the method GetDataThatLooksVerySimilarButNotTheSame() returns an ExpandoObject you can also cast to a IDictionary before checking.

dynamic test = new System.Dynamic.ExpandoObject();
test.foo = "bar";

if (((IDictionary<string, object>)test).ContainsKey("foo"))
{
    Console.WriteLine(test.foo);
}

How to make fixed header table inside scrollable div?

use StickyTableHeaders.js for this.

}

Count number of columns in a table row

First off, when you call getElementById, you need to provide an id. o_O

The only item in your dom with an id is the table element. If you can, you could add ids (make sure they are unique) to your tr elements.

Alternatively, you can use getElementsByTagName('tr') to get a list of tr elements in your document, and then get the number of tds.

here is a fiddle that console logs the results...

How to read a text file in project's root directory?

You can have it embedded (build action set to Resource) as well, this is how to retrieve it from there:

private static UnmanagedMemoryStream GetResourceStream(string resName)
{
    var assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
    var strResources = assembly.GetName().Name + ".g.resources";
    var rStream = assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(strResources);
    var resourceReader = new ResourceReader(rStream);
    var items = resourceReader.OfType<DictionaryEntry>();
    var stream = items.First(x => (x.Key as string) == resName.ToLower()).Value;
    return (UnmanagedMemoryStream)stream;
}

private void Button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    string resName = "Test.txt";
    var file = GetResourceStream(resName);
    using (var reader = new StreamReader(file))
    {
        var line = reader.ReadLine();
        MessageBox.Show(line);
    }
}

How to do a FULL OUTER JOIN in MySQL?

In SQLite you should do this:

SELECT *

LEFT JOIN rightTable rt ON lt.id = rt.lrid 
UNION
SELECT lt.*, rl.*  -- To match column set
FROM rightTable rt 
LEFT JOIN  leftTable lt ON lt.id = rt.lrid

How to pass an array into a function, and return the results with an array

Here is how I do it. This way I can actually get a function to simulate returning multiple values;

function foo($array) 
{ 
    foreach($array as $_key => $_value) 
    {
       $str .= "{$_key}=".$_value.'&';
    }
    return $str = substr($str, 0, -1);
} 

/* Set the variables to pass to function, in an Array */

    $waffles['variable1'] = "value1"; 
    $waffles['variable2'] = "value2"; 
    $waffles['variable3'] = "value3"; 

/* Call Function */

    parse_str( foo( $waffles ));

/* Function returns multiple variable/value pairs */

    echo $variable1 ."<br>";
    echo $variable2 ."<br>";
    echo $variable3 ."<br>";

Especially usefull if you want, for example all fields in a database to be returned as variables, named the same as the database table fields. See 'db_fields( )' function below.

For example, if you have a query

select login, password, email from members_table where id = $id

Function returns multiple variables:

$login, $password and $email

Here is the function:

function db_fields($field, $filter, $filter_by,  $table = 'members_table') {

 /*
    This function will return as variable names, all fields that you request, 
    and the field values assigned to the variables as variable values.  

    $filter_by = TABLE FIELD TO FILTER RESULTS BY
    $filter =  VALUE TO FILTER BY
    $table = TABLE TO RUN QUERY AGAINST

    Returns single string value or ARRAY, based on whether user requests single
    field or multiple fields.

    We return all fields as variable names. If multiple rows
    are returned, check is_array($return_field); If > 0, it contains multiple rows.
    In that case, simply run parse_str($return_value) for each Array Item. 
*/
    $field = ($field == "*") ? "*,*" : $field;
    $fields = explode(",",$field);

    $assoc_array = ( count($fields) > 0 ) ? 1 : 0;

    if (!$assoc_array) {
        $result = mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query("select $field from $table where $filter_by = '$filter'"));
        return ${$field} = $result[$field];
    }
    else
    {
        $query = mysql_query("select $field from $table where $filter_by = '$filter'");
        while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) {
            foreach($row as $_key => $_value) {
                $str .= "{$_key}=".$_value.'&';
            }
            return $str = substr($str, 0, -1);
        }
    }
}

Below is a sample call to function. So, If we need to get User Data for say $user_id = 12345, from the members table with fields ID, LOGIN, PASSWORD, EMAIL:

$filter = $user_id;
$filter_by = "ID";
$table_name = "members_table"

parse_str(db_fields('LOGIN, PASSWORD, EMAIL', $filter, $filter_by, $table_name));

/* This will return the following variables: */

echo $LOGIN ."<br>";
echo $PASSWORD ."<br>";
echo $EMAIL ."<br>";

We could also call like this:

parse_str(db_fields('*', $filter, $filter_by, $table_name));

The above call would return all fields as variable names.

jQuery check/uncheck radio button onclick

If all you want to do is have a checkbox that checks, don't worry about doing it with JQuery. That is default functionality of a checkbox on click. However, if you want to do additional things, you can add them with JQuery. Prior to jQuery 1.9, you can use use $(this).attr('checked'); to get the value instead of $(this).attr('checked', true);, as the second will set the value.

Here is a fiddle demonstration that shows the default checkbox functionality vs. what you are doing with JQuery.

Note: After JQuery 1.6, you should use $(this).prop; instead of $(this).attr in all three places (thanks @Whatevo for pointing this out and see here for further details).

UPDATE:

Sorry, missed the requirement that it had to be a radio button. You still may want to consider the checkbox, but here is the updated code for the radio input version. It works by setting the previousValue as an attribute on the checkbox, as I don't think prop is supported in 1.3.2. You could also do this in a scoped variable, as some people don't like setting random attributes on fields. Here is the new example.

UPDATE 2:

As Josh pointed out, the previous solution only worked with one radio button. Here's a function that makes a group of radios deselectable by their name, and a fiddle:

var makeRadiosDeselectableByName = function(name){
    $('input[name=' + name + ']').click(function() {
        if($(this).attr('previousValue') == 'true'){
            $(this).attr('checked', false)
        } else {
            $('input[name=' + name + ']').attr('previousValue', false);
        }

        $(this).attr('previousValue', $(this).attr('checked'));
    });
};

Converting between datetime, Timestamp and datetime64

For DatetimeIndex, the tolist returns a list of datetime objects. For a single datetime64 object it returns a single datetime object.

Self-references in object literals / initializers

Creating new function on your object literal and invoking a constructor seems a radical departure from the original problem, and it's unnecessary.

You cannot reference a sibling property during object literal initialization.

var x = { a: 1, b: 2, c: a + b } // not defined 
var y = { a: 1, b: 2, c: y.a + y.b } // not defined 

The simplest solution for computed properties follows (no heap, no functions, no constructor):

var x = { a: 1, b: 2 };

x.c = x.a + x.b; // apply computed property

How do I pass environment variables to Docker containers?

We can also use host machine environment variable using -e flag and $ :

Before running the following command, need to export(means set) local env variables.

docker run -it -e MG_HOST=$MG_HOST -e MG_USER=$MG_USER -e MG_PASS=$MG_PASS -e MG_AUTH=$MG_AUTH -e MG_DB=$MG_DB -t image_tag_name_and_version 

By using this method, you can set the environment variable automatically with your given name. In my case(MG_HOST ,MG_USER)

Additionally:

If you are using python you can access these environment variable inside docker by

import os
host,username,password,auth,database=os.environ.get('MG_HOST'),os.environ.get('MG_USER'),os.environ.get('MG_PASS'),os.environ.get('MG_AUTH'),os.environ.get('MG_DB')

How to exclude 0 from MIN formula Excel

Not entirely sure what you want here, but if you want to discount blank cells in the range and pass over zeros then this would do it; if a little contrived:

=MIN(IF(A1:E1=0,MAX(A1:E1),A1:E1))

With Ctrl+Shift+Enter as an array.

What I'm doing here is replacing zeros with the maximum value in the list.

Why can't I initialize non-const static member or static array in class?

static variables are specific to a class . Constructors initialize attributes ESPECIALY for an instance.

Difference between IsNullOrEmpty and IsNullOrWhiteSpace in C#

IsNullOrWhiteSpace is a convenience method that is similar to the following code, except that it offers superior performance:

return String.IsNullOrEmpty(value) || value.Trim().Length == 0;

White-space characters are defined by the Unicode standard. The IsNullOrWhiteSpace method interprets any character that returns a value of true when it is passed to the Char.IsWhiteSpace method as a white-space character.

Using HTML and Local Images Within UIWebView

After having read a couple of chapters in the iOS 6 Programming Cookbok and started to learn objective-c and iOS programming, I would just like to add, that if one is going to load resources from a custom bundle and use that in a web view, it can be accomplished like this:

NSString *resourcesBundlePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"Resources" ofType:@"bundle"];
NSBundle *resourcesBundle = [NSBundle bundleWithPath:resourcesBundlePath];
[self.outletWebView loadHTMLString:[html description] baseURL:[resourcesBundle bundleURL]];

Then, in your html you can refer to a resource using the "custom" bundle as your base path:

body {
    background-image:url('img/myBg.png');
}

Using client certificate in Curl command

TLS client certificates are not sent in HTTP headers. They are transmitted by the client as part of the TLS handshake, and the server will typically check the validity of the certificate during the handshake as well.

If the certificate is accepted, most web servers can be configured to add headers for transmitting the certificate or information contained on the certificate to the application. Environment variables are populated with certificate information in Apache and Nginx which can be used in other directives for setting headers.

As an example of this approach, the following Nginx config snippet will validate a client certificate, and then set the SSL_CLIENT_CERT header to pass the entire certificate to the application. This will only be set when then certificate was successfully validated, so the application can then parse the certificate and rely on the information it bears.

server {
    listen 443 ssl;
    server_name example.com;
    ssl_certificate /path/to/chainedcert.pem;  # server certificate
    ssl_certificate_key /path/to/key;          # server key

    ssl_client_certificate /path/to/ca.pem;    # client CA
    ssl_verify_client on;
    proxy_set_header SSL_CLIENT_CERT $ssl_client_cert;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;

Image overlay on responsive sized images bootstrap

When you specify position:absolute it positions itself to the next-highest element with position:relative. In this case, that's the .project div.

If you give the image's immediate parent div a style of position:relative, the overlay will key to that instead of the div which includes the text. For example: http://jsfiddle.net/7gYUU/1/

 <div class="parent">
    <img src="http://placehold.it/500x500" class="img-responsive"/>
    <div class="fa fa-plus project-overlay"></div>
 </div>

.parent {
   position: relative;
}

Adding a default value in dropdownlist after binding with database

You can add it programmatically or in the markup, but if you add it programmatically, rather than Add the item, you should Insert it as position zero so that it is the first item:

ddlColor.DataSource = from p in db.ProductTypes
                      where p.ProductID == pID
                      orderby p.Color
                      select new { p.Color };
ddlColor.DataTextField = "Color";
ddlColor.DataBind();
ddlColor.Items.Insert(0, new ListItem("Select Color", "");

The default item is expected to be the first item in the list. If you just Add it, it will be on the bottom and will not be selected by default.

Limit String Length

You can use the wordwrap() function then explode on newline and take the first part, if you don't want to split words.

$str = 'Stack Overflow is as frictionless and painless to use as we could make it.';
$str = wordwrap($str, 28);
$str = explode("\n", $str);
$str = $str[0] . '...';

Source: https://stackoverflow.com/a/1104329/1060423

If you don't care about splitting words, then simply use the php substr function.

echo substr($str, 0, 28) . '...';

Format SQL in SQL Server Management Studio

Azure Data Studio - free and from Microsoft - offers automatic formatting (ctrl + shift + p while editing -> format document). More information about Azure Data Studio here.

While this is not SSMS, it's great for writing queries, free and an official product from Microsoft. It's even cross-platform. Short story: Just switch to Azure Data Studio to write your queries!

Update: Actually Azure Data Studio is in some way the recommended tool for writing queries (source)

Use Azure Data Studio if you: [..] Are mostly editing or executing queries.

Converting DateTime format using razor

The [DisplayFormat] attribute is only used in EditorFor/DisplayFor, and not by the raw HTML APIs like TextBoxFor. I got it working by doing the following,

[DisplayFormat(ApplyFormatInEditMode = true, DataFormatString = "{0:d}")]
public DateTime? LiquorLicenceDocumentIssueDate { get; set; }

View:

        <div id="IsLiquorLicenceDocumentOnPremisesYes" class="groupLongLabel">
            @Html.LabelFor(m => m.LiquorLicenceDocumentIssueDate)
            <span class="indicator"></span>
            @Html.EditorFor(m => m.LiquorLicenceDocumentIssueDate)
            <span id="validEmail"></span>

jQuery AJAX Character Encoding

I came by this question with exactly the same issue as the asker. The answers here are very informing, and I tried out almost every single one of the suggested answers. None of the answers here worked for me though - there might have been a slight difference in my problem. And that seems to be the case for many. I tried so much before ending up with an answer.

So now I'm adding to the already long list of answers, a solution of my own that solved my kind of encoding problem.

I did just two things. In the database connection script I added:

mysql_set_charset('utf8',$connection);

and apart from that:

  • I changed the encoding of all the files to UTF-8

The point is that everything must be of the same encoding. And when creating new php-files, for the scripts it is not enough just to change the encoding in the script - the file itself must be correctly encoded.

An invalid form control with name='' is not focusable

If you have any field with required attribute which is not visible during the form submission, this error will be thrown. You just remove the required attribute when your try to hide that field. You can add the required attribute in case if you want to show the field again. By this way, your validation will not be compromised and at the same time, the error will not be thrown.

Node.js getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND

Try using the server IP address rather than the hostname. This worked for me. Hope it will work for you too.

Regular expression to match a word or its prefix

[ ] defines a character class. So every character you set there, will match. [012] will match 0 or 1 or 2 and [0-2] behaves the same.

What you want is groupings to define a or-statement. Use (s|season) for your issue.

Btw. you have to watch out. Metacharacters in normal regex (or inside a grouping) are different from character class. A character class is like a sub-language. [$A] will only match $ or A, nothing else. No escaping here for the dollar.

Regular expression to match numbers with or without commas and decimals in text

EDIT: Since this has gotten a lot of views, let me start by giving everybody what they Googled for:

#ALL THESE REQUIRE THE WHOLE STRING TO BE A NUMBER
#For numbers embedded in sentences, see discussion below

#### NUMBERS AND DECIMALS ONLY ####
#No commas allowed
#Pass: (1000.0), (001), (.001)
#Fail: (1,000.0)
^\d*\.?\d+$

#No commas allowed
#Can't start with "."
#Pass: (0.01)
#Fail: (.01)
^(\d+\.)?\d+$

#### CURRENCY ####
#No commas allowed
#"$" optional
#Can't start with "."
#Either 0 or 2 decimal digits
#Pass: ($1000), (1.00), ($0.11)
#Fail: ($1.0), (1.), ($1.000), ($.11)
^\$?\d+(\.\d{2})?$

#### COMMA-GROUPED ####
#Commas required between powers of 1,000
#Can't start with "."
#Pass: (1,000,000), (0.001)
#Fail: (1000000), (1,00,00,00), (.001)
^\d{1,3}(,\d{3})*(\.\d+)?$

#Commas required
#Cannot be empty
#Pass: (1,000.100), (.001)
#Fail: (1000), ()
^(?=.)(\d{1,3}(,\d{3})*)?(\.\d+)?$

#Commas optional as long as they're consistent
#Can't start with "."
#Pass: (1,000,000), (1000000)
#Fail: (10000,000), (1,00,00)
^(\d+|\d{1,3}(,\d{3})*)(\.\d+)?$

#### LEADING AND TRAILING ZEROES ####
#No commas allowed
#Can't start with "."
#No leading zeroes in integer part
#Pass: (1.00), (0.00)
#Fail: (001)
^([1-9]\d*|0)(\.\d+)?$

#No commas allowed
#Can't start with "."
#No trailing zeroes in decimal part
#Pass: (1), (0.1)
#Fail: (1.00), (0.1000)
^\d+(\.\d*[1-9])?$

Now that that's out of the way, most of the following is meant as commentary on how complex regex can get if you try to be clever with it, and why you should seek alternatives. Read at your own risk.


This is a very common task, but all the answers I see here so far will accept inputs that don't match your number format, such as ,111, 9,9,9, or even .,,.. That's simple enough to fix, even if the numbers are embedded in other text. IMHO anything that fails to pull 1,234.56 and 1234—and only those numbers—out of abc22 1,234.56 9.9.9.9 def 1234 is a wrong answer.

First of all, if you don't need to do this all in one regex, don't. A single regex for two different number formats is hard to maintain even when they aren't embedded in other text. What you should really do is split the whole thing on whitespace, then run two or three smaller regexes on the results. If that's not an option for you, keep reading.

Basic pattern

Considering the examples you've given, here's a simple regex that allows pretty much any integer or decimal in 0000 format and blocks everything else:

^\d*\.?\d+$

Here's one that requires 0,000 format:

^\d{1,3}(,\d{3})*(\.\d+)?$

Put them together, and commas become optional as long as they're consistent:

^(\d*\.?\d+|\d{1,3}(,\d{3})*(\.\d+)?)$

Embedded numbers

The patterns above require the entire input to be a number. You're looking for numbers embedded in text, so you have to loosen that part. On the other hand, you don't want it to see catch22 and think it's found the number 22. If you're using something with lookbehind support (like .NET), this is pretty easy: replace ^ with (?<!\S) and $ with (?!\S) and you're good to go:

(?<!\S)(\d*\.?\d+|\d{1,3}(,\d{3})*(\.\d+)?)(?!\S)

If you're working with JavaScript or Ruby or something, things start looking more complex:

(?:^|\s)(\d*\.?\d+|\d{1,3}(?:,\d{3})*(?:\.\d+)?)(?!\S)

You'll have to use capture groups; I can't think of an alternative without lookbehind support. The numbers you want will be in Group 1 (assuming the whole match is Group 0).

Validation and more complex rules

I think that covers your question, so if that's all you need, stop reading now. If you want to get fancier, things turn very complex very quickly. Depending on your situation, you may want to block any or all of the following:

  • Empty input
  • Leading zeroes (e.g. 000123)
  • Trailing zeroes (e.g. 1.2340000)
  • Decimals starting with the decimal point (e.g. .001 as opposed to 0.001)

Just for the hell of it, let's assume you want to block the first 3, but allow the last one. What should you do? I'll tell you what you should do, you should use a different regex for each rule and progressively narrow down your matches. But for the sake of the challenge, here's how you do it all in one giant pattern:

(?<!\S)(?=.)(0|([1-9](\d*|\d{0,2}(,\d{3})*)))?(\.\d*[1-9])?(?!\S)

And here's what it means:

(?<!\S) to (?!\S) #The whole match must be surrounded by either whitespace or line boundaries. So if you see something bogus like :;:9.:, ignore the 9.
(?=.)             #The whole thing can't be blank.

(                    #Rules for the integer part:
  0                  #1. The integer part could just be 0...
  |                  #
  [1-9]              #   ...otherwise, it can't have leading zeroes.
  (                  #
    \d*              #2. It could use no commas at all...
    |                #
    \d{0,2}(,\d{3})* #   ...or it could be comma-separated groups of 3 digits each.
  )                  # 
)?                   #3. Or there could be no integer part at all.

(       #Rules for the decimal part:
  \.    #1. It must start with a decimal point...
  \d*   #2. ...followed by a string of numeric digits only.
  [1-9] #3. It can't be just the decimal point, and it can't end in 0.
)?      #4. The whole decimal part is also optional. Remember, we checked at the beginning to make sure the whole thing wasn't blank.

This will allow things like:

100,000
999.999
90.0009
1,000,023.999
0.111
.111
0

It will block things like:

1,1,1.111
000,001.111
999.
0.
111.110000
1.1.1.111
9.909,888

There are several ways to make this regex simpler and shorter, but understand that changing the pattern will loosen what it considers a number.

Since many regex engines (e.g. JavaScript and Ruby) don't support the negative lookbehind, the only way to do this correctly is with capture groups:

(:?^|\s)(?=.)((?:0|(?:[1-9](?:\d*|\d{0,2}(?:,\d{3})*)))?(?:\.\d*[1-9])?)(?!\S)

The numbers you're looking for will be in capture group 1.

One final note

Obviously, this is a massive, complicated, nigh-unreadable regex. I enjoyed the challenge, but you should consider whether you really want to use this in a production environment. Instead of trying to do everything in one step, you could do it in two: a regex to catch anything that might be a number, then another one to weed out whatever isn't a number. Or you could do some basic processing, then use your language's built-in number parsing functions. Your choice.

How to check if a process is in hang state (Linux)

What do you mean by ‘hang state’? Typically, a process that is unresponsive and using 100% of a CPU is stuck in an endless loop. But there's no way to determine whether that has happened or whether the process might not eventually reach a loop exit state and carry on.

Desktop hang detectors just work by sending a message to the application's event loop and seeing if there's any response. If there's not for a certain amount of time they decide the app has ‘hung’... but it's entirely possible it was just doing something complicated and will come back to life in a moment once it's done. Anyhow, that's not something you can use for any arbitrary process.

Http Servlet request lose params from POST body after read it once

Spring has built-in support for this with an AbstractRequestLoggingFilter:

@Bean
public Filter loggingFilter(){
    final AbstractRequestLoggingFilter filter = new AbstractRequestLoggingFilter() {
        @Override
        protected void beforeRequest(final HttpServletRequest request, final String message) {

        }

        @Override
        protected void afterRequest(final HttpServletRequest request, final String message) {

        }
    };

    filter.setIncludePayload(true);
    filter.setIncludeQueryString(false);
    filter.setMaxPayloadLength(1000000);

    return filter;
}

Unfortunately you still won't be able to read the payload directly off the request, but the String message parameter will include the payload so you can grab it from there as follows:

String body = message.substring(message.indexOf("{"), message.lastIndexOf("]"));

How to fix JSP compiler warning: one JAR was scanned for TLDs yet contained no TLDs?

None of the above worked for me (tomcat 7.0.62)... As Sensei_Shoh notes see the class above the message and add this to logging.properties. My logs were:

Jan 18, 2016 8:44:21 PM org.apache.catalina.startup.TldConfig execute
INFO: At least one JAR was scanned for TLDs yet contained no TLDs. Enable debug logging for this logger for a complete list of JARs that were scanned but no TLDs were found in them. Skipping unneeded JARs during scanning can improve startup time and JSP compilation time.

so I added

org.apache.catalina.startup.TldConfig.level = FINE

in conf/logging.properties

After that I got so many "offending" files that I did not bother skipping them (and also reverted to normal logging...)

how to select rows based on distinct values of A COLUMN only

Looking at your output maybe the following query can work, give it a try:

SELECT * FROM tablename
WHERE id IN
(SELECT MIN(id) FROM tablename GROUP BY EmailAddress)

This will select only one row for each distinct email address, the row with the minimum id which is what your result seems to portray

ini_set("memory_limit") in PHP 5.3.3 is not working at all

Most likely your sushosin updated, which changed the default of suhosin.memory_limit from disabled to 0 (which won't allow any updates to memory_limit).

On Debian, change /etc/php5/conf.d/suhosin.ini

;suhosin.memory_limit = 0

to

suhosin.memory_limit = 2G

Or whichever value you are comfortable with. You can find the changelog of Sushosin at http://www.hardened-php.net/hphp/changelog.html, which says:

Changed the way the memory_limit protection is implemented

Pro JavaScript programmer interview questions (with answers)

Because JavaScript is such a small language, yet with incredible complexity, you should be able to ask relatively basic questions and find out if they are really that good based on their answers. For instance, my standard first question to gauge the rest of the interview is:

In JavaScript, what is the difference between var x = 1 and x = 1? Answer in as much or as little detail as you feel comfortable.

Novice JS programmers might have a basic answer about locals vs globals. Intermediate JS guys should definitely have that answer, and should probably mention function-level scope. Anyone calling themselves an "advanced" JS programmer should be prepared to talk about locals, implied globals, the window object, function-scope, declaration hoisting, and scope chains. Furthermore, I'd love to hear about [[DontDelete]], hoisting precedence (parameters vs var vs function), and undefined.

Another good question is to ask them to write a sum() function that accepts any number of arguments, and returns their sum. Then, ask them to use that function (without modification) to sum all the values in an array. They should write a function that looks like this:

function sum() {
  var i, l, result = 0;
  for (i = 0, l = arguments.length; i < l; i++) {
    result += arguments[i];
  }
  return result;
}
sum(1,2,3); // 6

And they should invoke it on your array like this (context for apply can be whatever, I usually use null in that case):

var data = [1,2,3];
sum.apply(null, data); // 6

If they've got those answers, they probably know their JavaScript. You should then proceed to asking them about non-JS specific stuff like testing, workflows, version control, etc. to find out if they're a good programmer.

How do I get the type of a variable?

I believe I have a valid use case for using typeid(), the same way it is valid to use sizeof(). For a template function, I need to special case the code based on the template variable, so that I offer maximum functionality and flexibility.

It is much more compact and maintainable than using polymorphism, to create one instance of the function for each type supported. Even in that case I might use this trick to write the body of the function only once:

Note that because the code uses templates, the switch statement below should resolve statically into only one code block, optimizing away all the false cases, AFAIK.

Consider this example, where we may need to handle a conversion if T is one type vs another. I use it for class specialization to access hardware where the hardware will use either myClassA or myClassB type. On a mismatch, I need to spend time converting the data.

switch ((typeid(T)) {
  case typeid(myClassA):
    // handle that case
    break;
  case typeid(myClassB):
    // handle that case
    break;
  case typeid(uint32_t):
    // handle that case
    break;
  default:
    // handle that case
}

Convert YYYYMMDD string date to a datetime value

You should have to use DateTime.TryParseExact.

var newDate = DateTime.ParseExact("20111120", 
                                  "yyyyMMdd", 
                                   CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

OR

string str = "20111021";
string[] format = {"yyyyMMdd"};
DateTime date;

if (DateTime.TryParseExact(str, 
                           format, 
                           System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture,
                           System.Globalization.DateTimeStyles.None, 
                           out date))
{
     //valid
}

The object 'DF__*' is dependent on column '*' - Changing int to double

As constraint has unpredictable name, you can write special script(DropConstraint) to remove it without knowing it's name (was tested at EF 6.1.3):

public override void Up()
{    
    DropConstraint();
    AlterColumn("dbo.MyTable", "Rating", c => c.Double(nullable: false));
}

private void DropConstraint()
{
    Sql(@"DECLARE @var0 nvarchar(128)
          SELECT @var0 = name
          FROM sys.default_constraints
          WHERE parent_object_id = object_id(N'dbo.MyTable')
          AND col_name(parent_object_id, parent_column_id) = 'Rating';
          IF @var0 IS NOT NULL
              EXECUTE('ALTER TABLE [dbo].[MyTable] DROP CONSTRAINT [' + @var0 + ']')");
}

public override void Down()
{            
    AlterColumn("dbo.MyTable", "Rating", c => c.Int(nullable: false));    
}

Adding author name in Eclipse automatically to existing files

Actually in Eclipse Indigo thru Oxygen, you have to go to the Types template Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Code Style -> Code templates -> (in right-hand pane) Comments -> double-click Types and make sure it has the following, which it should have by default:

/**
 * @author ${user}
 *
 * ${tags}
 */

and as far as I can tell, there is nothing in Eclipse to add the javadoc automatically to existing files in one batch. You could easily do it from the command line with sed & awk but that's another question.

If you are prepared to open each file individually, then selected the class / interface declaration line, e.g. public class AdamsClass { and then hit the key combo Shift + Alt + J and that will insert a new javadoc comment above, along with the author tag for your user. To experiment with other settings, go to Windows->Preferences->Java->Editor->Templates.

MongoDB/Mongoose querying at a specific date?

That should work if the dates you saved in the DB are without time (just year, month, day).

Chances are that the dates you saved were new Date(), which includes the time components. To query those times you need to create a date range that includes all moments in a day.

db.posts.find({ //query today up to tonight
    created_on: {
        $gte: new Date(2012, 7, 14), 
        $lt: new Date(2012, 7, 15)
    }
})

How to set custom favicon in Express?

In Express 4

Install the favicon middleware and then do:

var favicon = require('serve-favicon');

app.use(favicon(__dirname + '/public/images/favicon.ico'));

Or better, using the path module:

app.use(favicon(path.join(__dirname,'public','images','favicon.ico')));

(note that this solution will work in express 3 apps as well)

In Express 3

According to the API, .favicon accepts a location parameter:

app.use(express.favicon("public/images/favicon.ico")); 

Most of the time, you might want this (as vsync suggested):

app.use(express.favicon(__dirname + '/public/images/favicon.ico'));

Or better yet, use the path module (as Druska suggested):

app.use(express.favicon(path.join(__dirname, 'public','images','favicon.ico'))); 

Why favicon is better than static

According to the package description:

  1. This module caches the icon in memory to improve performance by skipping disk access.
  2. This module provides an ETag based on the contents of the icon, rather than file system properties.
  3. This module will serve with the most compatible Content-Type.

you need to type it in cmd not in the IDLE. becuse IDLE is not an command prompt if you want to install something from IDLE type this

this is calling pip like pip <commands> in terminal. The commands will be seperated by spaces that you are doing there to.

How to set the "Content-Type ... charset" in the request header using a HTML link

This is not possible from HTML on. The closest what you can get is the accept-charset attribute of the <form>. Only MSIE browser adheres that, but even then it is doing it wrong (e.g. CP1252 is actually been used when it says that it has sent ISO-8859-1). Other browsers are fully ignoring it and they are using the charset as specified in the Content-Type header of the response. Setting the character encoding right is basically fully the responsiblity of the server side. The client side should just send it back in the same charset as the server has sent the response in.

To the point, you should really configure the character encoding stuff entirely from the server side on. To overcome the inability to edit URIEncoding attribute, someone here on SO wrote a (complex) filter: Detect the URI encoding automatically in Tomcat. You may find it useful as well (note: I haven't tested it).


Update: Noted should be that the meta tag as given in your question is ignored when the content is been transferred over HTTP. Instead, the HTTP response Content-Type header will be used to determine the content type and character encoding. You can determine the HTTP header with for example Firebug, in the Net panel.

SSH Private Key Permissions using Git GUI or ssh-keygen are too open

I had the same problem on Windows XP just recently. I tried to chmod 700 on my ~/.ssh/id_rsa file but it did not seem to work. When I had a look at the permissions using ls -l on the ~/.ssh/id_rsa I could see that my effective permissions still was 644.

Then I remembered that windows permissions also inherit permissions from the folders, and the folder was still open to everyone. A solution could be to set permissions for the folder as well, but I think a better way would be to tell the system to ignore inheritance for this file. This can be done using the advanced option on the security tab in the properties of the file, and unchecking "inherit from parent permissions..."

This might be helpful for others with the same problem.

Delimiters in MySQL

When you create a stored routine that has a BEGIN...END block, statements within the block are terminated by semicolon (;). But the CREATE PROCEDURE statement also needs a terminator. So it becomes ambiguous whether the semicolon within the body of the routine terminates CREATE PROCEDURE, or terminates one of the statements within the body of the procedure.

The way to resolve the ambiguity is to declare a distinct string (which must not occur within the body of the procedure) that the MySQL client recognizes as the true terminator for the CREATE PROCEDURE statement.

How do I properly clean up Excel interop objects?

worksheet.Paste(rng, false);

Can Keras with Tensorflow backend be forced to use CPU or GPU at will?

As per keras tutorial, you can simply use the same tf.device scope as in regular tensorflow:

with tf.device('/gpu:0'):
    x = tf.placeholder(tf.float32, shape=(None, 20, 64))
    y = LSTM(32)(x)  # all ops in the LSTM layer will live on GPU:0

with tf.device('/cpu:0'):
    x = tf.placeholder(tf.float32, shape=(None, 20, 64))
    y = LSTM(32)(x)  # all ops in the LSTM layer will live on CPU:0

error C4996: 'scanf': This function or variable may be unsafe in c programming

Another way to suppress the error: Add this line at the top in C/C++ file:

How to set image width to be 100% and height to be auto in react native?

Solution April 2020:

So the above answers are cute but they all have (imo) a big flaw: they are calculating the height of the image, based on the width of the user's device.

To have a truly responsive (i.e. width: 100%, height: auto) implementation, what you really want to be doing, is calculating the height of the image, based on the width of the parent container.

Luckily for us, React Native provides us with a way to get the parent container width, thanks to the onLayout View method.

So all we need to do is create a View with width: "100%", then use onLayout to get the width of that view (i.e. the container width), then use that container width to calculate the height of our image appropriately.

 

Just show me the code...

The below solution could be improved upon further, by using RN's Image.getSize, to grab the image dimensions within the ResponsiveImage component itself.

JavaScript:

// ResponsiveImage.ts

import React, { useMemo, useState } from "react";
import { Image, StyleSheet, View } from "react-native";

const ResponsiveImage = props => {
  const [containerWidth, setContainerWidth] = useState(0);
  const _onViewLayoutChange = event => {
    const { width } = event.nativeEvent.layout;
    setContainerWidth(width);
  }

  const imageStyles = useMemo(() => {
    const ratio = containerWidth / props.srcWidth;
    return {
      width: containerWidth,
      height: props.srcHeight * ratio
    };
  }, [containerWidth]);

  return (
    <View style={styles.container} onLayout={_onViewLayoutChange}>
      <Image source={props.src} style={imageStyles} />
    </View>
  );
};

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: { width: "100%" }
});

export default ResponsiveImage;


// Example usage...

import ResponsiveImage from "../components/ResponsiveImage";

...

<ResponsiveImage
  src={require("./images/your-image.jpg")}
  srcWidth={910} // replace with your image width
  srcHeight={628} // replace with your image height
/>

 

TypeScript:

// ResponsiveImage.ts

import React, { useMemo, useState } from "react";
import {
  Image,
  ImageSourcePropType,
  LayoutChangeEvent,
  StyleSheet,
  View
} from "react-native";

interface ResponsiveImageProps {
  src: ImageSourcePropType;
  srcWidth: number;
  srcHeight: number;
}

const ResponsiveImage: React.FC<ResponsiveImageProps> = props => {
  const [containerWidth, setContainerWidth] = useState<number>(0);
  const _onViewLayoutChange = (event: LayoutChangeEvent) => {
    const { width } = event.nativeEvent.layout;
    setContainerWidth(width);
  }

  const imageStyles = useMemo(() => {
    const ratio = containerWidth / props.srcWidth;
    return {
      width: containerWidth,
      height: props.srcHeight * ratio
    };
  }, [containerWidth]);

  return (
    <View style={styles.container} onLayout={_onViewLayoutChange}>
      <Image source={props.src} style={imageStyles} />
    </View>
  );
};

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: { width: "100%" }
});

export default ResponsiveImage;


// Example usage...

import ResponsiveImage from "../components/ResponsiveImage";

...

<ResponsiveImage
  src={require("./images/your-image.jpg")}
  srcWidth={910} // replace with your image width
  srcHeight={628} // replace with your image height
/>

Programmatically obtain the phone number of the Android phone

TelephonyManager is not the right solution, because in some cases the number is not stored in the SIM. I suggest that you should use the shared preference to store the user's phone number for the first time the application is open and the number will used whenever you need.

How to convert CharSequence to String?

You can directly use String.valueOf()

String.valueOf(charSequence)

Though this is same as toString() it does a null check on the charSequence before actually calling toString.

This is useful when a method can return either a charSequence or null value.

Is there a way to use use text as the background with CSS?

Ciro's solution about an SVG Data URI background containing the text is very clever.

However, it won't work in IE if you just add the plain SVG source to the data URI.

In order to get around this and make it work in IE9 and up, encode the SVG to base64. This is a great tool.

So this:

background:url('data:image/svg+xml;utf8,<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><text x="5%" y="5%" font-size="30" fill="red">I love SVG!</text></svg>');

Becomes this:

background:url('data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjx0ZXh0IHg9IjUlIiB5PSI1JSIgZm9udC1zaXplPSIzMCIgZmlsbD0icmVkIj5JIGxvdmUgU1ZHITwvdGV4dD48L3N2Zz4=');

Tested and it works in IE9-10-11, WebKit (Chrome 37, Opera 23) and Gecko (Firefox 31).

Delete item from array and shrink array

The size of a Java array is fixed when you allocate it, and cannot be changed.

  • If you want to "grow" or "shrink" an existing array, you have to allocate a new array of the appropriate size and copy the array elements; e.g. using System.arraycopy(...) or Arrays.copyOf(...). A copy loop works as well, though it looks a bit clunky ... IMO.

  • If you want to "delete" an item or items from an array (in the true sense ... not just replacing them with null), you need to allocate a new smaller array and copy across the elements you want to retain.

  • Finally, you can "erase" an element in an array of a reference type by assigning null to it. But this introduces new problems:

    • If you were using null elements to mean something, you can't do this.
    • All of the code that uses the array now has to deal with the possibility of a null element in the appropriate fashion. More complexity and potential for bugs1.

There are alternatives in the form of 3rd-party libraries (e.g. Apache Commons ArrayUtils), but you may want to consider whether it is worth adding a library dependency just for the sake of a method that you could implement yourself with 5-10 lines of code.


It is better (i.e. simpler ... and in many cases, more efficient2) to use a List class instead of an array. This will take care of (at least) growing the backing storage. And there are operations that take care of inserting and deleting elements anywhere in the list.

For instance, the ArrayList class uses an array as backing, and automatically grows the array as required. It does not automatically reduce the size of the backing array, but you can tell it to do this using the trimToSize() method; e.g.

ArrayList l = ...
l.remove(21);
l.trimToSize();  // Only do this if you really have to.

1 - But note that the explicit if (a[e] == null) checks themselves are likely to be "free", since they can be combined with the implicit null check that happens when you dereference the value of a[e].

2 - I say it is "more efficient in many cases" because ArrayList uses a simple "double the size" strategy when it needs to grow the backing array. This means that if grow the list by repeatedly appending to it, each element will be copied on average one extra time. By contrast, if you did this with an array you would end up copying each array element close to N/2 times on average.

Real escape string and PDO

You should use PDO Prepare

From the link:

Calling PDO::prepare() and PDOStatement::execute() for statements that will be issued multiple times with different parameter values optimizes the performance of your application by allowing the driver to negotiate client and/or server side caching of the query plan and meta information, and helps to prevent SQL injection attacks by eliminating the need to manually quote the parameters.

Adding a slide effect to bootstrap dropdown

BOOTSTRAP 3 REFERENCE

Added because I keep getting caught by the solution in this thread and it stuffs me up every time.

Basically the BS dropdown immediately removes the .open class from the parent, so sliding up does not work.

Use the same bit as other solutions for slideDown();

// ADD SLIDEUP ANIMATION TO DROPDOWN //
$('.dropdown').on('hide.bs.dropdown', function(e){
  e.preventDefault();
  $(this).find('.dropdown-menu').first().stop(true, true).slideUp(300, function(){
    $(this).parent().removeClass('open');
  });
});

Easy way to convert Iterable to Collection

This is not an answer to your question but I believe it is the solution to your problem. The interface org.springframework.data.repository.CrudRepository does indeed have methods that return java.lang.Iterable but you should not use this interface. Instead use sub interfaces, in your case org.springframework.data.mongodb.repository.MongoRepository. This interface has methods that return objects of type java.util.List.

Set encoding and fileencoding to utf-8 in Vim

TL;DR

In the first case with set encoding=utf-8, you'll change the output encoding that is shown in the terminal.

In the second case with set fileencoding=utf-8, you'll change the output encoding of the file that is written.

As stated by @Dennis, you can set them both in your ~/.vimrc if you always want to work in utf-8.

More details

From the wiki of VIM about working with unicode

"encoding sets how vim shall represent characters internally. Utf-8 is necessary for most flavors of Unicode."

"fileencoding sets the encoding for a particular file (local to buffer); :setglobal sets the default value. An empty value can also be used: it defaults to same as 'encoding'. Or you may want to set one of the ucs encodings, It might make the same disk file bigger or smaller depending on your particular mix of characters. Also, IIUC, utf-8 is always big-endian (high bit first) while ucs can be big-endian or little-endian, so if you use it, you will probably need to set 'bomb" (see below)."

PHP - define constant inside a class

You can define a class constant in php. But your class constant would be accessible from any object instance as well. This is php's functionality. However, as of php7.1, you can define your class constants with access modifiers (public, private or protected).

A work around would be to define your constant as private or protected and then make them readable via a static function. This function should only return the constant values if called from the static context.

You can also create this static function in your parent class and simply inherit this parent class on all other classes to make it a default functionality.

Format ints into string of hex

a = [0,1,2,3,127,200,255]
print str.join("", ("%02x" % i for i in a))

prints

000102037fc8ff

(Also note that your code will fail for integers in the range from 10 to 15.)

Java character array initializer

you are doing it wrong, you have first split the string using space as a delimiter using String.split() and populate the char array with charcters.

or even simpler just use String.charAt() in the loop to populate array like below:

String ini="Hi there";
  char[] array=new  char[ini.length()];

  for(int count=0;count<array.length;count++){
         array[count] = ini.charAt(count);
  System.out.print(" "+array[count]);
  }

or one liner would be

  String ini="Hi there";
  char[] array=ini.toCharArray();

Creating an empty bitmap and drawing though canvas in Android

Do not use Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888

Instead use int w = WIDTH_PX, h = HEIGHT_PX;

Bitmap.Config conf = Bitmap.Config.ARGB_4444; // see other conf types
Bitmap bmp = Bitmap.createBitmap(w, h, conf); // this creates a MUTABLE bitmap
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bmp);

// ready to draw on that bitmap through that canvas

ARGB_8888 can land you in OutOfMemory issues when dealing with more bitmaps or large bitmaps. Or better yet, try avoiding usage of ARGB option itself.

How to remove duplicates from Python list and keep order?

> but I don't know how to retrieve the list members from the hash in alphabetical order.

Not really your main question, but for future reference Rod's answer using sorted can be used for traversing a dict's keys in sorted order:

for key in sorted(my_dict.keys()):
   print key, my_dict[key]
   ...

and also because tuple's are ordered by the first member of the tuple, you can do the same with items:

for key, val in sorted(my_dict.items()):
    print key, val
    ...

Write objects into file with Node.js

could you try doing JSON.stringify(obj);

Like this

 var stringify = JSON.stringify(obj);
fs.writeFileSync('./data.json', stringify , 'utf-8'); 

'Source code does not match the bytecode' when debugging on a device

Go to Project Settings > Artifacts. Select the artifact which has the problem. There is an option "Include in project build". This needs to be checked(enabled). For older versions of IntelliJ this option is "Make on build".

Entry point for Java applications: main(), init(), or run()?

The main() method is the entry point for a Java application. run() is typically used for new threads or tasks.

Where have you been writing a run() method, what kind of application are you writing (e.g. Swing, AWT, console etc) and what's your development environment?

Install NuGet via PowerShell script

Without having Visual Studio, you can grab Nuget from: http://nuget.org/nuget.exe

For command-line executions using this, check out: http://docs.nuget.org/docs/reference/command-line-reference

With respect to Powershell, just copy the nuget.exe to the machine. No installation required, just execute it using commands from the above documentation.

Number of times a particular character appears in a string

You can do it inline, but you have to be careful with spaces in the column data. Better to use datalength()

SELECT 
  ColName, 
  DATALENGTH(ColName) -
  DATALENGTH(REPLACE(Col, 'A', '')) AS NumberOfLetterA
FROM ColName;

-OR- Do the replace with 2 characters

SELECT 
  ColName, 
  -LEN(ColName)
  +LEN(REPLACE(Col, 'A', '><')) AS NumberOfLetterA
FROM ColName;

Java and SQLite

sqlitejdbc code can be downloaded using git from https://github.com/crawshaw/sqlitejdbc.

# git clone https://github.com/crawshaw/sqlitejdbc.git sqlitejdbc
...
# cd sqlitejdbc
# make

Note: Makefile requires curl binary to download sqlite libraries/deps.

Interfaces — What's the point?

The point is that the interface represents a contract. A set of public methods any implementing class has to have. Technically, the interface only governs syntax, i.e. what methods are there, what arguments they get and what they return. Usually they encapsulate semantics as well, although that only by documentation.

You can then have different implementations of an interface and swap them out at will. In your example, since every pizza instance is an IPizza you can use IPizza wherever you handle an instance of an unknown pizza type. Any instance whose type inherits from IPizza is guaranteed to be orderable, as it has an Order() method.

Python is not statically-typed, therefore types are kept and looked up at runtime. So you can try calling an Order() method on any object. The runtime is happy as long as the object has such a method and probably just shrugs and says »Meh.« if it doesn't. Not so in C#. The compiler is responsible for making the correct calls and if it just has some random object the compiler doesn't know yet whether the instance during runtime will have that method. From the compiler's point of view it's invalid since it cannot verify it. (You can do such things with reflection or the dynamic keyword, but that's going a bit far right now, I guess.)

Also note that an interface in the usual sense does not necessarily have to be a C# interface, it could be an abstract class as well or even a normal class (which can come in handy if all subclasses need to share some common code – in most cases, however, interface suffices).

Optimistic vs. Pessimistic locking

Optimistic Locking is a strategy where you read a record, take note of a version number (other methods to do this involve dates, timestamps or checksums/hashes) and check that the version hasn't changed before you write the record back. When you write the record back you filter the update on the version to make sure it's atomic. (i.e. hasn't been updated between when you check the version and write the record to the disk) and update the version in one hit.

If the record is dirty (i.e. different version to yours) you abort the transaction and the user can re-start it.

This strategy is most applicable to high-volume systems and three-tier architectures where you do not necessarily maintain a connection to the database for your session. In this situation the client cannot actually maintain database locks as the connections are taken from a pool and you may not be using the same connection from one access to the next.

Pessimistic Locking is when you lock the record for your exclusive use until you have finished with it. It has much better integrity than optimistic locking but requires you to be careful with your application design to avoid Deadlocks. To use pessimistic locking you need either a direct connection to the database (as would typically be the case in a two tier client server application) or an externally available transaction ID that can be used independently of the connection.

In the latter case you open the transaction with the TxID and then reconnect using that ID. The DBMS maintains the locks and allows you to pick the session back up through the TxID. This is how distributed transactions using two-phase commit protocols (such as XA or COM+ Transactions) work.

Set default format of datetimepicker as dd-MM-yyyy

Ensure that control Format property is properly set to use a custom format:

DateTimePicker1.Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Custom

Then this is how you can set your desired format:

DateTimePicker1.CustomFormat = "dd-MM-yyyy"

How do I get the classes of all columns in a data frame?

I wanted a more compact output than the great answers above using lapply, so here's an alternative wrapped as a small function.

# Example data
df <-
    data.frame(
        w = seq.int(10),
        x = LETTERS[seq.int(10)],
        y = factor(letters[seq.int(10)]),
        z = seq(
            as.POSIXct('2020-01-01'),
            as.POSIXct('2020-10-01'),
            length.out = 10
        )
    )

# Function returning compact column classes
col_classes <- function(df) {
    t(as.data.frame(lapply(df, function(x) paste(class(x), collapse = ','))))
}

# Return example data's column classes
col_classes(df)
  [,1]            
w "integer"       
x "character"     
y "factor"        
z "POSIXct,POSIXt"

How to add button tint programmatically

I had a similar problem. I wished to colour a complex drawable background for a view based on a color (int) value. I succeeded by using the code:

ColorStateList csl = new ColorStateList(new int[][]{{}}, new int[]{color});
textView.setBackgroundTintList(csl);

Where color is an int value representing the colour required. This represents the simple xml ColorStateList:

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
    <item android:color="color here"/>
</selector>

Hope this helps.

Using Postman to access OAuth 2.0 Google APIs

The best way I found so far is to go to the Oauth playground here: https://developers.google.com/oauthplayground/

  1. Select the relevant google api category, and then select the scope inside that category in the UI.
  2. Get the authorization code by clicking "authorize API" blue button. Exchange authorization code for token by clicking the blue button.
  3. Store the OAuth2 token and use it as shown below.

In the HTTP header for the REST API request, add: "Authorization: Bearer ". Here, Authorization is the key, and "Bearer ". For example: "Authorization: Bearer za29.KluqA3vRtZChWfJDabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz6nAZ0y6ElzDT3yH3MT5"

Count Vowels in String Python

For anyone who looking the most simple solution, here's the one

vowel = ['a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u']
Sentence = input("Enter a phrase: ")
count = 0
for letter in Sentence:
    if letter in vowel:
        count += 1
print(count)

Android open camera from button

To call the camera you can use:

Intent intent = new Intent("android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE");
startActivity(intent);

The image will be automatically saved in a default directory.

And you need to set the permission for the camera in your AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA"> </uses-permission>

Problems with entering Git commit message with Vim

Typically, git commit brings up an interactive editor (on Linux, and possibly Cygwin, determined by the contents of your $EDITOR environment variable) for you to edit your commit message in. When you save and exit, the commit completes.

You should make sure that the changes you are trying to commit have been added to the Git index; this determines what is committed. See http://gitref.org/basic/ for details on this.

TypeError: $(...).modal is not a function with bootstrap Modal

In my case, I use rails framework and require jQuery twice. I think that is a possible reason.

You can first check app/assets/application.js file. If the jquery and bootstrap-sprockets appears, then there is not need for a second library require. The file should be similar to this:

//= require jquery
//= require jquery_ujs
//= require turbolinks
//= require bootstrap-sprockets
//= require_tree .

Then check app/views/layouts/application.html.erb, and remove the script for requiring jquery. For example:

    <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.2.0/jquery.min.js"></script>

I think sometimes when newbies use multiple tutorial code examples will cause this issue.

The ALTER TABLE statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint

I guess, a column value in a foreign key table should match with the column value of the primary key table. If we are trying to create a foreign key constraint between two tables where the value inside one column(going to be the foreign key) is different from the column value of the primary key table then it will throw the message.

So it is always recommended to insert only those values in the Foreign key column which are present in the Primary key table column.

For ex. If the Primary table column has values 1, 2, 3 and in Foreign key column the values inserted are different, then the query would not be executed as it expects the values to be between 1 & 3.

Why use 'git rm' to remove a file instead of 'rm'?

If you just use rm, you will need to follow it up with git add <fileRemoved>. git rm does this in one step.

You can also use git rm --cached which will remove the file from the index (staging it for deletion on the next commit), but keep your copy in the local file system.

how to rotate text left 90 degree and cell size is adjusted according to text in html

Daniel Imms answer is excellent in regards to applying your CSS rotation to an inner element. However, it is possible to accomplish the end goal in a way that does not require JavaScript and works with longer strings of text.

Typically the whole reason to have vertical text in the first table column is to fit a long line of text in a short horizontal space and to go alongside tall rows of content (as in your example) or multiple rows of content (which I'll use in this example).

enter image description here

By using the ".rotate" class on the parent TD tag, we can not only rotate the inner DIV, but we can also set a few CSS properties on the parent TD tag that will force all of the text to stay on one line and keep the width to 1.5em. Then we can use some negative margins on the inner DIV to make sure that it centers nicely.

One thing to keep in mind with this solution is that it does not work well if the height of the row (or spanned rows) is shorter than the vertical text in the first column. It works best if you're spanning multiple rows or you have a lot of content creating tall rows.

Have fun playing around with this on jsFiddle.

Xml Parsing in C#

First add an Enrty and Category class:

public class Entry {     public string Id { get; set; }     public string Title { get; set; }     public string Updated { get; set; }     public string Summary { get; set; }     public string GPoint { get; set; }     public string GElev { get; set; }     public List<string> Categories { get; set; } }  public class Category {     public string Label { get; set; }     public string Term { get; set; } } 

Then use LINQ to XML

XDocument xDoc = XDocument.Load("path");          List<Entry> entries = (from x in xDoc.Descendants("entry")             select new Entry()             {                 Id = (string) x.Element("id"),                 Title = (string)x.Element("title"),                 Updated = (string)x.Element("updated"),                 Summary = (string)x.Element("summary"),                 GPoint = (string)x.Element("georss:point"),                 GElev = (string)x.Element("georss:elev"),                 Categories = (from c in x.Elements("category")                                   select new Category                                   {                                       Label = (string)c.Attribute("label"),                                       Term = (string)c.Attribute("term")                                   }).ToList();             }).ToList();

Difference between scaling horizontally and vertically for databases

SQL databases like Oracle, db2 also support Horizontal scaling through Shared disk cluster. For example Oracle RAC, IBM DB2 purescale or Sybase ASE Cluster edition. New node can be added to Oracle RAC system or DB2 purescale system to achieve horizontal scaling.

But the approach is different from noSQL databases (like mongodb, CouchDB or IBM Cloudant) is that the data sharding is not part of Horizontal scaling. In noSQL databases data is shraded during horizontal scaling.

Does :before not work on img elements?

I think the best way to look at why this doesn't work is that :before and :after insert their content before or after the content within the tag you're applying them to. So it works with divs or spans (or most other tags) because you can put content inside them.

<div>
:before
Content
:after
</div>

However, an img is a self-contained, self-closing tag, and since it has no separate closing tag, you can't put anything inside of it. (That would need to look like <img>Content</img>, but of course that doesn't work.)

I know this is an old topic, but it pops up first on Google, so hopefully this will help others learn.

Read XML Attribute using XmlDocument

You should look into XPath. Once you start using it, you'll find its a lot more efficient and easier to code than iterating through lists. It also lets you directly get the things you want.

Then the code would be something similar to

string attrVal = doc.SelectSingleNode("/MyConfiguration/@SuperNumber").Value;

Note that XPath 3.0 became a W3C Recommendation on April 8, 2014.

String comparison technique used by Python

Python and just about every other computer language use the same principles as (I hope) you would use when finding a word in a printed dictionary:

(1) Depending on the human language involved, you have a notion of character ordering: 'a' < 'b' < 'c' etc

(2) First character has more weight than second character: 'az' < 'za' (whether the language is written left-to-right or right-to-left or boustrophedon is quite irrelevant)

(3) If you run out of characters to test, the shorter string is less than the longer string: 'foo' < 'food'

Typically, in a computer language the "notion of character ordering" is rather primitive: each character has a human-language-independent number ord(character) and characters are compared and sorted using that number. Often that ordering is not appropriate to the human language of the user, and then you need to get into "collating", a fun topic.

You can monitor events in a WebView using a WebViewClient. The method you want is shouldOverrideUrlLoading(). This allows you to perform your own action when a particular URL is selected.

You set the WebViewClient of your WebView using the setWebViewClient() method.

If you look at the WebView sample in the SDK there's an example which does just what you want. It's as simple as:

private class HelloWebViewClient extends WebViewClient {
    @Override
    public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
        view.loadUrl(url);
        return true;
    }
}

Maven package/install without test (skip tests)

You can add either -DskipTests or -Dmaven.test.skip=true to any mvn command for skipping tests. In your case it would be like below:

mvn package -DskipTests

OR

mvn package -Dmaven.test.skip=true

How to refer to relative paths of resources when working with a code repository

import os
cwd = os.getcwd()
path = os.path.join(cwd, "my_file")
f = open(path)

You also try to normalize your cwd using os.path.abspath(os.getcwd()). More info here.

How can I check if the current date/time is past a set date/time?

Since PHP >= 5.2.2 you can use the DateTime class as such:

if (new DateTime() > new DateTime("2010-05-15 16:00:00")) {
    # current time is greater than 2010-05-15 16:00:00
    # in other words, 2010-05-15 16:00:00 has passed
}

The string passed to the DateTime constructor is parsed according to these rules.


Note that it is also possible to use time and strtotime functions. See original answer.

Can you use Microsoft Entity Framework with Oracle?

Update:

Oracle now fully supports the Entity Framework. Oracle Data Provider for .NET Release 11.2.0.3 (ODAC 11.2) Release Notes: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E20434_01/doc/win.112/e23174/whatsnew.htm#BGGJIEIC

HTML5 - mp4 video does not play in IE9

Ended up using http://videojs.com/ to support all browsers.

But to get the video working in IE9 and Chrome I just added html5 doc type and used mp4:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
  <video src="video.mp4" width="400" height="300" preload controls>
  </video>
</body>
</html>

Vagrant ssh authentication failure

Make sure your first network interface is NAT. The other second network interface can be anything you want when you're building box. Don't forget the Vagrant user, as discussed in the Google thread.

Good luck.

How do I get the entity that represents the current user in Symfony2?

Well, first you need to request the username of the user from the session in your controller action like this:

$username=$this->get('security.context')->getToken()->getUser()->getUserName();

then do a query to the db and get your object with regular dql like

$em = $this->get('doctrine.orm.entity_manager');    
"SELECT u FROM Acme\AuctionBundle\Entity\User u where u.username=".$username;
$q=$em->createQuery($query);
$user=$q->getResult();

the $user should now hold the user with this username ( you could also use other fields of course)

...but you will have to first configure your /app/config/security.yml configuration to use the appropriate field for your security provider like so:

security:
 provider:
  example:
   entity: {class Acme\AuctionBundle\Entity\User, property: username}

hope this helps!

Form inside a form, is that alright?

Form nesting can be achieved with new HTML5 input element's form attribute. Although we don't nest forms structurally, inputs are evaluated as they are in their own form. In my tests, 3 major browsers support this except IE(IE11). Form nesting limitation was a big obstacle for HTML UI design.

Here is a sample code, when you click Save button you should see "2 3 success" (Original http://www.impressivewebs.com/html5-form-attribute/):

<form id="saveForm" action="/post/dispatch/save" method="post"></form>
<form id="deleteForm" action="/post/dispatch/delete" method="post"></form>

<div id="toolbar">
    <input type="text" name="foo" form="saveForm" />
    <input type="hidden" value="some_id" form="deleteForm" />
    <input type="text" name="foo2" id="foo2" form="saveForm" value="success" />

    <input type="submit" name="save" value="Save" form="saveForm" onclick="alert(document.getElementById('deleteForm').elements.length + ' ' + document.getElementById('saveForm').elements.length + ' ' + document.getElementById('saveForm').elements['foo2'].value);return false;" />
    <input type="submit" name="delete" value="Delete" form="deleteForm" />
    <a href="/home/index">Cancel</a>
</div>

what does "dead beef" mean?

People normally use it to indicate dummy values. I think that it primarily was used before the idea of NULL pointers.

How do I count columns of a table

Simply use mysql_fetch_assoc and count the array using count() function

How to make a section of an image a clickable link

If you don't want to make the button a separate image, you can use the <area> tag. This is done by using html similar to this:

<img src="imgsrc" width="imgwidth" height="imgheight" alt="alttext" usemap="#mapname">

<map name="mapname">
    <area shape="rect" coords="see note 1" href="link" alt="alttext">
</map>

Note 1: The coords=" " attribute must be formatted in this way: coords="x1,y1,x2,y2" where:

x1=top left X coordinate
y1=top left Y coordinate
x2=bottom right X coordinate
y2=bottom right Y coordinate

Note 2: The usemap="#mapname" attribute must include the #.

EDIT:

I looked at your code and added in the <map> and <area> tags where they should be. I also commented out some parts that were either overlapping the image or seemed there for no use.

<div class="flexslider">
    <ul class="slides" runat="server" id="Ul">                             
        <li class="flex-active-slide" style="background: url(&quot;images/slider-bg-1.jpg&quot;) no-repeat scroll 50% 0px transparent; width: 100%; float: left; margin-right: -100%; position: relative; display: list-item;">
            <div class="container">
                <div class="sixteen columns contain"></div>   
                <img runat="server" id="imgSlide1" style="top: 1px; right: -19px; opacity: 1;" class="item" src="./test.png" data-topimage="7%" height="358" width="728" usemap="#imgmap" />
                <map name="imgmap">
                    <area shape="rect" coords="48,341,294,275" href="http://www.example.com/">
                </map>
                <!--<a href="#" style="display:block; background:#00F; width:356px; height:66px; position:absolute; left:1px; top:-19px; left: 162px; top: 279px;"></a>-->
            </div>
        </li>
    </ul>
</div>
<!-- <ul class="flex-direction-nav">
    <li><a class="flex-prev" href="#"><i class="icon-angle-left"></i></a></li>
    <li><a class="flex-next" href="#"><i class="icon-angle-right"></i></a></li>
</ul> -->

Notes:

  1. The coord="48,341,294,275" is in reference to your screenshot you posted.
  2. The src="./test.png" is the location and name of the screenshot you posted on my computer.
  3. The href="http://www.example.com/" is an example link.

How can I convert ticks to a date format?

Answers so far helped me come up with mine. I'm wary of UTC vs local time; ticks should always be UTC IMO.

public class Time
{
    public static void Timestamps()
    {
        OutputTimestamp();
        Thread.Sleep(1000);
        OutputTimestamp();
    }

    private static void OutputTimestamp()
    {
        var timestamp = DateTime.UtcNow.Ticks;
        var localTicks = DateTime.Now.Ticks;
        var localTime = new DateTime(timestamp, DateTimeKind.Utc).ToLocalTime();
        Console.Out.WriteLine("Timestamp = {0}.  Local ticks = {1}.  Local time = {2}.", timestamp, localTicks, localTime);
    }
}

Output:

Timestamp = 636988286338754530.  Local ticks = 636988034338754530.  Local time = 2019-07-15 4:03:53 PM.
Timestamp = 636988286348878736.  Local ticks = 636988034348878736.  Local time = 2019-07-15 4:03:54 PM.

Submit HTML form, perform javascript function (alert then redirect)

Looks like your form is submitting which is the default behaviour, you can stop it with this:

<form action="" method="post" onsubmit="completeAndRedirect();return false;">

How to recursively find and list the latest modified files in a directory with subdirectories and times

Try this one:

#!/bin/bash
find $1 -type f -exec stat --format '%Y :%y %n' "{}" \; | sort -nr | cut -d: -f2- | head

Execute it with the path to the directory where it should start scanning recursively (it supports filenames with spaces).

If there are lots of files it may take a while before it returns anything. Performance can be improved if we use xargs instead:

#!/bin/bash
find $1 -type f -print0 | xargs -0 stat --format '%Y :%y %n' | sort -nr | cut -d: -f2- | head

which is a bit faster.

How do I limit the number of returned items?

For some reason I could not get this to work with the proposed answers, but I found another variation, using select, that worked for me:

models.Post.find().sort('-date').limit(10).select('published').exec(function(e, data){
        ...
});

Has the api perhaps changed? I am using version 3.8.19

Exit from app when click button in android phonegap?

I used a combination of the above because my app works in the browser as well as on device. The problem with browser is it won't let you close the window from a script unless your app was opened by a script (like browsersync).

        if (typeof cordova !== 'undefined') {
            if (navigator.app) {
                navigator.app.exitApp();
            }
            else if (navigator.device) {
                navigator.device.exitApp();
            }
        } else {
            window.close();
            $timeout(function () {
                self.showCloseMessage = true;  //since the browser can't be closed (otherwise this line would never run), ask the user to close the window
            });
        }

javascript password generator

code to generate a password with password will be given length (default to 8) and have at least one upper case, one lower, one number and one symbol

(2 functions and one const variable called 'allowed')

const allowed = {
    uppers: "QWERTYUIOPASDFGHJKLZXCVBNM",
    lowers: "qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm",
    numbers: "1234567890",
    symbols: "!@#$%^&*"
}

const getRandomCharFromString = (str) => str.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * str.length))
const generatePassword = (length = 8) => { // password will be @Param-length, default to 8, and have at least one upper, one lower, one number and one symbol
    let pwd = "";
    pwd += getRandomCharFromString(allowed.uppers); //pwd will have at least one upper
    pwd += getRandomCharFromString(allowed.lowers); //pwd will have at least one lower
    pwd += getRandomCharFromString(allowed.numbers); //pwd will have at least one number
    pwd += getRandomCharFromString(allowed.symbols);//pwd will have at least one symbolo
    for (let i = pwd.length; i < length; i++)
        pwd += getRandomCharFromString(Object.values(allowed).join('')); //fill the rest of the pwd with random characters
    return pwd
}

Using a dictionary to select function to execute

You can just use

myDict = {
    "P1": (lambda x: function1()),
    "P2": (lambda x: function2()),
    ...,
    "Pn": (lambda x: functionn())}
myItems = ["P1", "P2", ..., "Pn"]

for item in myItems:
    myDict[item]()

How can I switch to a tag/branch in hg?

Once you have cloned the repo, you have everything: you can then hg up branchname or hg up tagname to update your working copy.

UP: hg up is a shortcut of hg update, which also has hg checkout alias for people with git habits.

AcquireConnection method call to the connection manager <Excel Connection Manager> failed with error code 0xC0202009

64/32 bit error? I found this as a problem as my dev machine was 32bit and the production server 64bit. If so, you may need to call the 32bit runtime directly from the command line.

This link says it better (No 64bit JET driver): http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/sqlintegrationservices/thread/da076e51-8149-4948-add1-6192d8966ead/

How does the compilation/linking process work?

On the standard front:

  • a translation unit is the combination of a source files, included headers and source files less any source lines skipped by conditional inclusion preprocessor directive.

  • the standard defines 9 phases in the translation. The first four correspond to preprocessing, the next three are the compilation, the next one is the instantiation of templates (producing instantiation units) and the last one is the linking.

In practice the eighth phase (the instantiation of templates) is often done during the compilation process but some compilers delay it to the linking phase and some spread it in the two.

How can I define an interface for an array of objects with Typescript?

In Angular use 'extends' to define the interface for an 'Array' of objects.

Using an indexer will give you an error as its not an Array interface so doesn't contain the properties and methods.

e.g

error TS2339: Property 'find' does not exist on type 'ISelectOptions2'.

// good    
export interface ISelectOptions1 extends Array<ISelectOption> {}

// bad
export interface ISelectOptions2 {
    [index: number]: ISelectOption;
}

interface ISelectOption {
    prop1: string;
    prop2?: boolean;
}

Converting char* to float or double

You are missing an include : #include <stdlib.h>, so GCC creates an implicit declaration of atof and atod, leading to garbage values.

And the format specifier for double is %f, not %d (that is for integers).

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
  char *test = "12.11";
  double temp = strtod(test,NULL);
  float ftemp = atof(test);
  printf("price: %f, %f",temp,ftemp);
  return 0;
}
/* Output */
price: 12.110000, 12.110000

How to preserve request url with nginx proxy_pass

To perfectly forward without chopping the absoluteURI of the request and the Host in the header:

server {
    listen 35005;

    location / {
        rewrite            ^(.*)$   "://$http_host$uri$is_args$args";
        rewrite            ^(.*)$   "http$uri$is_args$args" break;
        proxy_set_header   Host     $host;

        proxy_pass         https://deploy.org.local:35005;
    }
}

Changing Locale within the app itself

I couldn't used android:anyDensity="true" because objects in my game would be positioned completely different... seems this also does the trick:

// creating locale
Locale locale2 = new Locale(loc); 
Locale.setDefault(locale2);
Configuration config2 = new Configuration();
config2.locale = locale2;

// updating locale
mContext.getResources().updateConfiguration(config2, null);

Why Server.Transfer? Response.Redirect(Request.RawUrl) would get you what you need.

UILabel text margin

Subclassing is a little cumbersome for such a simple case. An alternative is to simply add the UILabel with no background set to a UIView with the background set. Set the label's x to 10 and make the outer view's size 20 pixels wider than the label.

How to get current available GPUs in tensorflow?

Apart from the excellent explanation by Mrry, where he suggested to use device_lib.list_local_devices() I can show you how you can check for GPU related information from the command line.

Because currently only Nvidia's gpus work for NN frameworks, the answer covers only them. Nvidia has a page where they document how you can use the /proc filesystem interface to obtain run-time information about the driver, any installed NVIDIA graphics cards, and the AGP status.

/proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/0..N/information

Provide information about each of the installed NVIDIA graphics adapters (model name, IRQ, BIOS version, Bus Type). Note that the BIOS version is only available while X is running.

So you can run this from command line cat /proc/driver/nvidia/gpus/0/information and see information about your first GPU. It is easy to run this from python and also you can check second, third, fourth GPU till it will fail.

Definitely Mrry's answer is more robust and I am not sure whether my answer will work on non-linux machine, but that Nvidia's page provide other interesting information, which not many people know about.

- java.lang.NullPointerException - setText on null object reference

Here lies your problem:

private void fillTextView (int id, String text) {
    TextView tv = (TextView) findViewById(id);
    tv.setText(text); // tv is null
}

--> (TextView) findViewById(id); // returns null But from your code, I can't find why this method returns null. Try to track down, what id you give as a parameter and if this view with the specified id exists.

The error message is very clear and even tells you at what method. From the documentation:

public final View findViewById (int id)
    Look for a child view with the given id. If this view has the given id, return this view.
    Parameters
        id  The id to search for.
    Returns
        The view that has the given id in the hierarchy or null

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#findViewById%28int%29

In other words: You have no view with the id you give as a parameter.

Terminating idle mysql connections

Manual cleanup:

You can KILL the processid.

mysql> show full processlist;
+---------+------------+-------------------+------+---------+-------+-------+-----------------------+
| Id      | User       | Host              | db   | Command | Time  | State | Info                  |
+---------+------------+-------------------+------+---------+-------+-------+-----------------------+
| 1193777 | TestUser12 | 192.168.1.11:3775 | www  | Sleep   | 25946 |       | NULL                  |
+---------+------------+-------------------+------+---------+-------+-------+-----------------------+

mysql> kill 1193777;

But:

  • the php application might report errors (or the webserver, check the error logs)
  • don't fix what is not broken - if you're not short on connections, just leave them be.

Automatic cleaner service ;)

Or you configure your mysql-server by setting a shorter timeout on wait_timeout and interactive_timeout

mysql> show variables like "%timeout%";
+--------------------------+-------+
| Variable_name            | Value |
+--------------------------+-------+
| connect_timeout          | 5     |
| delayed_insert_timeout   | 300   |
| innodb_lock_wait_timeout | 50    |
| interactive_timeout      | 28800 |
| net_read_timeout         | 30    |
| net_write_timeout        | 60    |
| slave_net_timeout        | 3600  |
| table_lock_wait_timeout  | 50    |
| wait_timeout             | 28800 |
+--------------------------+-------+
9 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Set with:

set global wait_timeout=3;
set global interactive_timeout=3;

(and also set in your configuration file, for when your server restarts)

But you're treating the symptoms instead of the underlying cause - why are the connections open? If the PHP script finished, shouldn't they close? Make sure your webserver is not using connection pooling...

How to use java.Set

Did you override equals and hashCode in the Block class?

EDIT:

I assumed you mean it doesn't work at runtime... did you mean that or at compile time? If compile time what is the error message? If it crashes at runtime what is the stack trace? If it compiles and runs but doesn't work right then the equals and hashCode are the likely issue.
