Check box size change with CSS

You might want to do this.

input[type=checkbox] {

 -ms-transform: scale(2); /* IE */
 -moz-transform: scale(2); /* FF */
 -webkit-transform: scale(2); /* Safari and Chrome */
 -o-transform: scale(2); /* Opera */
  padding: 10px;
}

Implementing IDisposable correctly

Idisposable is implement whenever you want a deterministic (confirmed) garbage collection.

class Users : IDisposable
    {
        ~Users()
        {
            Dispose(false);
        }

        public void Dispose()
        {
            Dispose(true);
            GC.SuppressFinalize(this);
            // This method will remove current object from garbage collector's queue 
            // and stop calling finilize method twice 
        }    

        public void Dispose(bool disposer)
        {
            if (disposer)
            {
                // dispose the managed objects
            }
            // dispose the unmanaged objects
        }
    }

When creating and using the Users class use "using" block to avoid explicitly calling dispose method:

using (Users _user = new Users())
            {
                // do user related work
            }

end of the using block created Users object will be disposed by implicit invoke of dispose method.

How to reference static assets within vue javascript

For anyone looking to refer images from template, You can refer images directly using '@'

Example:

<img src="@/assets/images/home.png"/>

Regarding Java switch statements - using return and omitting breaks in each case

Assigning a value to a local variable and then returning that at the end is considered a good practice. Methods having multiple exits are harder to debug and can be difficult to read.

That said, thats the only plus point left to this paradigm. It was originated when only low-level procedural languages were around. And it made much more sense at that time.

While we are on the topic you must check this out. Its an interesting read.

MySQL: #126 - Incorrect key file for table

Every Time this has happened, it's been a full disk in my experience.

EDIT

It is also worth noting that this can be caused by a full ramdisk when doing things like altering a large table if you have a ramdisk configured. You can temporarily comment out the ramdisk line to allow such operations if you can't increase the size of it.

simple HTTP server in Java using only Java SE API

checkout Simple. its a pretty simple embeddable server with built in support for quite a variety of operations. I particularly love its threading model..

Amazing!

Find the nth occurrence of substring in a string

Understanding that regex is not always the best solution, I'd probably use one here:

>>> import re
>>> s = "ababdfegtduab"
>>> [m.start() for m in re.finditer(r"ab",s)]
[0, 2, 11]
>>> [m.start() for m in re.finditer(r"ab",s)][2] #index 2 is third occurrence 
11

Boolean.parseBoolean("1") = false...?

As a note ,
for those who need to have null value for things other than "true" or "false" strings , you can use the function below

public Boolean tryParseBoolean(String inputBoolean)
{    
    if(!inputBoolean.equals("true")&&!inputBoolean.equals("false")) return null;
    return Boolean.valueOf(inputBoolean);
}

How to find good looking font color if background color is known?

I have implemented something similar for a different reason - that was code to tell the end user whether the foreground and background colors that they selected would result in unreadable text. To do this, rather than examining the RGB values, I converted the color value to HSL/HSV and then determined by experimentation what my cutoff point was for readability when comparing the fg and bg values. This is something you may want/need to consider.

PHP - Check if two arrays are equal

array_diff — Computes the difference of arrays

http://php.net/manual/en/function.array-diff.php

array array_diff ( array $array1 , array $array2 [, array $... ] )

Compares array1 against one or more other arrays and returns the values in array1 that are not present in any of the other arrays.

What is a MIME type?

I couldn't possibly explain it better than wikipedia does: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIME_type

In addition to e-mail applications, Web browsers also support various MIME types. This enables the browser to display or output files that are not in HTML format.

IOW, it helps the browser (or content consumer, because it may not just be a browser) determine what content they are about to consume; this means a browser may be able to make a decision on the correct plugin to use to display content, or a media player may be able to load up the correct codec or plugin.

How can I make a button have a rounded border in Swift?

Python Database connection Close

You might try turning off pooling, which is enabled by default. See this discussion for more information.

import pyodbc
pyodbc.pooling = False
conn = pyodbc.connect('DRIVER=MySQL ODBC 5.1 driver;SERVER=localhost;DATABASE=spt;UID=who;PWD=testest') 

csr = conn.cursor()  
csr.close()
del csr

Difference between database and schema

Schema says what tables are in database, what columns they have and how they are related. Each database has its own schema.

Formatting dates on X axis in ggplot2

To show months as Jan 2017 Feb 2017 etc:

scale_x_date(date_breaks = "1 month", date_labels =  "%b %Y") 

Angle the dates if they take up too much space:

theme(axis.text.x=element_text(angle=60, hjust=1))

Get value of a specific object property in C# without knowing the class behind

You can do it using dynamic instead of object:

dynamic item = AnyFunction(....);
string value = item.name;

Note that the Dynamic Language Runtime (DLR) has built-in caching mechanisms, so subsequent calls are very fast.

Unable to load AWS credentials from the /AwsCredentials.properties file on the classpath

In my case I was deploying my webapp inside a docker: I was setting

ENV AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=blahblah%&/(
ENV AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=supersecret%&/(

but I still got errors, I got fixed this by adding

cloud.aws.credentials.useDefaultAwsCredentialsChain=true

inside application.properties

How to check for empty array in vba macro

You can check its count.

Here cid is an array.

if (jsonObject("result")("cid").Count) = 0 them
MsgBox "Empty Array"

I hope this helps. Have a nice day!

How do I create an array of strings in C?

The string literals are const char *s.

And your use of parenthesis is odd. You probably mean

const char *a[2] = {"blah", "hmm"};

which declares an array of two pointers to constant characters, and initializes them to point at two hardcoded string constants.

How to import a module in Python with importlib.import_module

And don't forget to create a __init__.py with each folder/subfolder (even if they are empty)

Trying to Validate URL Using JavaScript

If you're looking for a more reliable regex, check out RegexLib. Here's the page you'd probably be interested in:

http://regexlib.com/Search.aspx?k=url

As for the error messages showing while the person is still typing, change the event from keydown to blur and then it will only check once the person moves to the next element.

Can git undo a checkout of unstaged files

If you work with a terminal/cmd prompt open, and used any git commands that would have showed the unstaged changes (diff, add -p, checkout -p, etc.), and haven't closed the terminal/cmd prompt since, you'll find the unstaged changes are still available if you scroll up to where you ran those aforementioned git commands.

Capture event onclose browser

You're looking for the onclose event.

see: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/window.onclose

note that not all browsers support this (for example firefox 2)

Input group - two inputs close to each other

I was not content with any of the answers on this page, so I fiddled with this myself for a bit. I came up with the following

_x000D_
_x000D_
angular.module('showcase', []).controller('Ctrl', function() {_x000D_

_x000D_
  vm.blurParent = function(event) {_x000D_

With this it is possible to set the width of the individual inputs to your liking. Also a minor issue with the above snippets was that the input looks incomplete when focussed or when it is not valid. I fixed this with some angular code, but you can just as easily do this with jQuery or native javascript or whatever.

The code adds the class .focus to the containing div's, so it can get a higher z-index then the others when the input is focussed.

Jquery array.push() not working

another workaround:

var myarray = [];
$("#test").click(function() {
    myarray[index]=$("#drop").val();
    alert(myarray);
});

i wanted to add all checked checkbox to array. so example, if .each is used:

var vpp = [];
var incr=0;
$('.prsn').each(function(idx) {
   if (this.checked) {
       var p=$('.pp').eq(idx).val();
       vpp[incr]=(p);
       incr++;
   }
});
//do what ever with vpp array;

jQuery Force set src attribute for iframe

Setting src attribute didn't work for me. The iframe didn't display the url.

What worked for me was:

window.open(url, "nameof_iframe");

Hope it helps someone.

Sublime Text 2 Code Formatting

I can't speak for the 2nd or 3rd, but if you install Node first, Sublime-HTMLPrettify works pretty well. You have to setup your own key shortcut once it is installed. One thing I noticed on Windows, you may need to edit your path for Node in the %PATH% variable if it is already long (I think the limit is 1024 for the %PATH% variable, and anything after that is ignored.)

There is a Windows bug, but in the issues there is a fix for it. You'll need to edit the HTMLPrettify.py file - https://github.com/victorporof/Sublime-HTMLPrettify/issues/12

POST string to ASP.NET Web Api application - returns null

For WebAPI, here is the code to retrieve body text without going through their special [FromBody] binding.

public class YourController : ApiController
{
    [HttpPost]
    public HttpResponseMessage Post()
    {
        string bodyText = this.Request.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
        //more code here...
    }
}

2D array values C++

Just want to point out you do not need to specify all dimensions of the array.

The leftmost dimension can be 'guessed' by the compiler.

#include <stdio.h>
int main(void) {
  int arr[][5] = {{1,2,3,4,5}, {5,6,7,8,9}, {6,5,4,3,2}};
  printf("sizeof arr is %d bytes\n", (int)sizeof arr);
  printf("number of elements: %d\n", (int)(sizeof arr/sizeof arr[0]));
  return 0;
}

How to use bluetooth to connect two iPhone?

If I remember correctly, Bluetooth defines certain roles that devices can take. Most cell phones only support a certain number of roles. For instance, I can have a Bluetooth stereo headset that connects to my phone to receive audio, but just because my cell phone has Bluetooth does mean that it supports BEING a speaker for a different device - it doesn't advertise its capabilities of having a speaker for use by other Bluetooth devices.

I assume you want to transfer files between two iPhones? Transferring files via Bluetooth does seem like functionality that I would put in the iPhone, but I'm not Apple so I don't know for sure. In fact, yes, it seems that file transfer is not supported except in jailbroken phones:

http://gizmodo.com/5138797/iphone-bluetooth-file-transfer-coming-soon-yes

You'll probably get similar answers for Bluetooth Dial-Up Networking. I'd imagine they kept the Bluetooth commands out of the SDK for various reasons and you'll have to jailbreak your phone to get the functionality back.

Permission denied (publickey) when deploying heroku code. fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

At first make sure hidden files are visible in your Mac. If not do:

  • Open terminal and type in defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
  • killall Finder

Next steps:

  • Going to Users/user_name/.ssh/ removed all the files.
  • Opening terminal type in ssh-keygen -t dsa
  • Then heroku keys:add ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub

N.B. I did it in Mac OSX 10.7.2 Lion. Though the procedure should be same in others too.

JDBC ResultSet: I need a getDateTime, but there is only getDate and getTimeStamp

this worked:

    Date date = null;
    String dateStr = rs.getString("doc_date");
    if (dateStr != null) {
        date = dateFormat.parse(dateStr);
    }

using SimpleDateFormat.

How to set a text box for inputing password in winforms?

I know the perfect answer:

  1. double click on The password TextBox.
  2. write your textbox name like textbox2.
  3. write PasswordChar = '*';.
  4. I prefer going to windows character map and find a perfect hide like ?.

    example:TextBox2.PasswordChar = '?';
    

What is a stack trace, and how can I use it to debug my application errors?

Just to add to the other examples, there are inner(nested) classes that appear with the $ sign. For example:

public class Test {

    private static void privateMethod() {
        throw new RuntimeException();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        Runnable runnable = new Runnable() {
            @Override public void run() {
                privateMethod();
            }
        };
        runnable.run();
    }
}

Will result in this stack trace:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException
        at Test.privateMethod(Test.java:4)
        at Test.access$000(Test.java:1)
        at Test$1.run(Test.java:10)
        at Test.main(Test.java:13)

Excel Calculate the date difference from today from a cell of "7/6/2012 10:26:42"

*In all instances the # refers to the cell number

You really don't need the datedif functions; for example:

I'm working on a spreadsheet that tracks benefit eligibility for employees.

I have their hire dates in the "A" column and in column B is =(TODAY()-A#)

And you just format the cell to display a general number instead of date.

It also works very easily the other way: I also converted that number into showing when the actual date is that they get their benefits instead of how many days are left, and that is simply

=(90-B#)+TODAY()

Just make sure you're formatting cells as general numbers or dates accordingly.

Hope this helps.

What are -moz- and -webkit-?

What are -moz- and -webkit-?

CSS properties starting with -webkit-, -moz-, -ms- or -o- are called vendor prefixes.


Why do different browsers add different prefixes for the same effect?

A good explanation of vendor prefixes comes from Peter-Paul Koch of QuirksMode:

Originally, the point of vendor prefixes was to allow browser makers to start supporting experimental CSS declarations.

Let's say a W3C working group is discussing a grid declaration (which, incidentally, wouldn't be such a bad idea). Let's furthermore say that some people create a draft specification, but others disagree with some of the details. As we know, this process may take ages.

Let's furthermore say that Microsoft as an experiment decides to implement the proposed grid. At this point in time, Microsoft cannot be certain that the specification will not change. Therefore, instead of adding the grid to its CSS, it adds -ms-grid.

The vendor prefix kind of says "this is the Microsoft interpretation of an ongoing proposal." Thus, if the final definition of the grid is different, Microsoft can add a new CSS property grid without breaking pages that depend on -ms-grid.


UPDATE AS OF THE YEAR 2016

As this post 3 years old, it's important to mention that now most vendors do understand that these prefixes are just creating un-necessary duplicate code and that the situation where you need to specify 3 different CSS rules to get one effect working in all browser is an unwanted one.

As mentioned in this glossary about Mozilla's view on Vendor Prefix on May 3, 2016,

Browser vendors are now trying to get rid of vendor prefix for experimental features. They noticed that Web developers were using them on production Web sites, polluting the global space and making it more difficult for underdogs to perform well.

For example, just a few years ago, to set a rounded corner on a box you had to write:

-moz-border-radius: 10px 5px;
-webkit-border-top-left-radius: 10px;
-webkit-border-top-right-radius: 5px;
-webkit-border-bottom-right-radius: 10px;
-webkit-border-bottom-left-radius: 5px;
border-radius: 10px 5px;

But now that browsers have come to fully support this feature, you really only need the standardized version:

border-radius: 10px 5px;

Finding the right rules for all browsers

As still there's no standard for common CSS rules that work on all browsers, you can use tools like caniuse.com to check support of a rule across all major browsers.

You can also use pleeease.io/play. Pleeease is a Node.js application that easily processes your CSS. It simplifies the use of preprocessors and combines them with best postprocessors. It helps create clean stylesheets, support older browsers and offers better maintainability.

Input:

a {
  column-count: 3;
  column-gap: 10px;
  column-fill: auto;
}

Output:

a {
  -webkit-column-count: 3;
     -moz-column-count: 3;
          column-count: 3;
  -webkit-column-gap: 10px;
     -moz-column-gap: 10px;
          column-gap: 10px;
  -webkit-column-fill: auto;
     -moz-column-fill: auto;
          column-fill: auto;
}

How to change line-ending settings

For a repository setting solution, that can be redistributed to all developers, check out the text attribute in the .gitattributes file. This way, developers dont have to manually set their own line endings on the repository, and because different repositories can have different line ending styles, global core.autocrlf is not the best, at least in my opinion.

For example unsetting this attribute on a given path [. - text] will force git not to touch line endings when checking in and checking out. In my opinion, this is the best behavior, as most modern text editors can handle both type of line endings. Also, if you as a developer still want to do line ending conversion when checking in, you can still set the path to match certain files or set the eol attribute (in .gitattributes) on your repository.

Also check out this related post, which describes .gitattributes file and text attribute in more detail: What's the best CRLF (carriage return, line feed) handling strategy with Git?

Fastest way to get the first n elements of a List into an Array

Assumption:

list - List<String>

Using Java 8 Streams,

  • to get first N elements from a list into a list,

    List<String> firstNElementsList = list.stream().limit(n).collect(Collectors.toList());

  • to get first N elements from a list into an Array,

    String[] firstNElementsArray = list.stream().limit(n).collect(Collectors.toList()).toArray(new String[n]);

How to configure heroku application DNS to Godaddy Domain?

There are 2 steps you need to perform,

  1. Add the custom domains addon and add the domain your going to use, eg www.mywebsite.com to your application
  2. Go to your domain registrar control panel and set www.mywebsite.com to be a CNAME entry to yourapp.herokuapp.com assuming you are using the CEDAR stack.
  3. There is a third step if you want to use a naked domain, eg mywebsite.com when you would have to add the IP addresses of the Heroku load balancers to your DNS for mywebsite.com

You can read more about this at http://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/custom-domains

At a guess you've missed out the first step perhaps?

UPDATE: Following the announcement of Bamboo's EOL proxy.heroku.com being retired (September 2014) for Bamboo applications so these should also now use the yourapp.herokuapp.com mapping now as well.

What does operator "dot" (.) mean?

There is a whole page in the MATLAB documentation dedicated to this topic: Array vs. Matrix Operations. The gist of it is below:

MATLAB® has two different types of arithmetic operations: array operations and matrix operations. You can use these arithmetic operations to perform numeric computations, for example, adding two numbers, raising the elements of an array to a given power, or multiplying two matrices.

Matrix operations follow the rules of linear algebra. By contrast, array operations execute element by element operations and support multidimensional arrays. The period character (.) distinguishes the array operations from the matrix operations. However, since the matrix and array operations are the same for addition and subtraction, the character pairs .+ and .- are unnecessary.

Remove all git files from a directory?

Unlike other source control systems like SVN or CVS, git stores all of its metadata in a single directory, rather than in every subdirectory of the project. So just delete .git from the root (or use a script like git-export) and you should be fine.

How to change the server port from 3000?

If you don't have bs-config.json, you can change the port inside the lite-server module. Go to node_modules/lite-server/lib/config-defaults.js in your project, then add the port in "modules.export" like this.

module.export {
    port :8000, // to any available port
    ...
}

Then you can restart the server.

jQuery - What are differences between $(document).ready and $(window).load?

This three function are the same.

$(document).ready(function(){

}) 

and

$(function(){

}); 

and

jQuery(document).ready(function(){

});

here $ is used for define jQuery like $ = jQuery.

Now difference is that

$(document).ready is jQuery event that is fired when DOM is loaded, so it’s fired when the document structure is ready.

$(window).load event is fired after whole content is loaded like page contain images,css etc.

Of course there are other ways also available.

Jquery Ajax Call, doesn't call Success or Error

Try to encapsulate the ajax call into a function and set the async option to false. Note that this option is deprecated since jQuery 1.8.

function foo() {
    var myajax = $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: "CHService.asmx/SavePurpose",
        dataType: "text",
        data: JSON.stringify({ Vid: Vid, PurpId: PurId }),
        contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
        async: false, //add this
    });
    return myajax.responseText;
}

You can do this also:

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "CHService.asmx/SavePurpose",
    dataType: "text",
    data: JSON.stringify({ Vid: Vid, PurpId: PurId }),
    contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
    async: false, //add this
}).done(function ( data ) {
        Success = true;
}).fail(function ( data ) {
       Success = false;
});

How can I use the HTML5 canvas element in IE?

You can try fxCanvas: https://code.google.com/p/fxcanvas/

It implements almost all Canvas API within flash shim.

programming a servo thru a barometer

You could define a mapping of air pressure to servo angle, for example:

def calc_angle(pressure, min_p=1000, max_p=1200):     return 360 * ((pressure - min_p) / float(max_p - min_p))  angle = calc_angle(pressure) 

This will linearly convert pressure values between min_p and max_p to angles between 0 and 360 (you could include min_a and max_a to constrain the angle, too).

To pick a data structure, I wouldn't use a list but you could look up values in a dictionary:

d = {1000:0, 1001: 1.8, ...}  angle = d[pressure] 

but this would be rather time-consuming to type out!

Breaking a list into multiple columns in Latex

By combining the multicol package and enumitem package packages it is easy to define environments that are multi-column analogues of the enumerate and itemize environments:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\usepackage{multicol}

\newlist{multienum}{enumerate}{1}
\setlist[multienum]{
    label=\alph*),
    before=\begin{multicols}{2},
    after=\end{multicols}
}

\newlist{multiitem}{itemize}{1}
\setlist[multiitem]{
    label=\textbullet,
    before=\begin{multicols}{2},
    after=\end{multicols}
}

\begin{document}

  \textsf{Two column enumerate}
  \begin{multienum}
    \item item 1
    \item item 2
    \item item 3
    \item item 4
    \item item 5
    \item item 6
  \end{multienum}

  \textsf{Two column itemize}
  \begin{multiitem}
    \item item 1
    \item item 2
    \item item 3
    \item item 4
    \item item 5
    \item item 6
  \end{multiitem}

\end{document}

The output is what you would hope for:

Converting string into datetime

arrow offers many useful functions for dates and times. This bit of code provides an answer to the question and shows that arrow is also capable of formatting dates easily and displaying information for other locales.

>>> import arrow
>>> dateStrings = [ 'Jun 1  2005 1:33PM', 'Aug 28 1999 12:00AM' ]
>>> for dateString in dateStrings:
...     dateString
...     arrow.get(dateString.replace('  ',' '), 'MMM D YYYY H:mmA').datetime
...     arrow.get(dateString.replace('  ',' '), 'MMM D YYYY H:mmA').format('ddd, Do MMM YYYY HH:mm')
...     arrow.get(dateString.replace('  ',' '), 'MMM D YYYY H:mmA').humanize(locale='de')
...
'Jun 1  2005 1:33PM'
datetime.datetime(2005, 6, 1, 13, 33, tzinfo=tzutc())
'Wed, 1st Jun 2005 13:33'
'vor 11 Jahren'
'Aug 28 1999 12:00AM'
datetime.datetime(1999, 8, 28, 0, 0, tzinfo=tzutc())
'Sat, 28th Aug 1999 00:00'
'vor 17 Jahren'

How can I display a modal dialog in Redux that performs asynchronous actions?

In my opinion the bare minimum implementation has two requirements. A state that keeps track of whether the modal is open or not, and a portal to render the modal outside of the standard react tree.

The ModalContainer component below implements those requirements along with corresponding render functions for the modal and the trigger, which is responsible for executing the callback to open the modal.

import React from 'react';
import PropTypes from 'prop-types';
import Portal from 'react-portal';

class ModalContainer extends React.Component {
  state = {
    isOpen: false,
  };

  openModal = () => {
    this.setState(() => ({ isOpen: true }));
  }

  closeModal = () => {
    this.setState(() => ({ isOpen: false }));
  }

  renderModal() {
    return (
      this.props.renderModal({
        isOpen: this.state.isOpen,
        closeModal: this.closeModal,
      })
    );
  }

  renderTrigger() {
     return (
       this.props.renderTrigger({
         openModal: this.openModal
       })
     )
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <React.Fragment>
        <Portal>
          {this.renderModal()}
        </Portal>
        {this.renderTrigger()}
      </React.Fragment>
    );
  }
}

ModalContainer.propTypes = {
  renderModal: PropTypes.func.isRequired,
  renderTrigger: PropTypes.func.isRequired,
};

export default ModalContainer;

And here's a simple use case...

import React from 'react';
import Modal from 'react-modal';
import Fade from 'components/Animations/Fade';
import ModalContainer from 'components/ModalContainer';

const SimpleModal = ({ isOpen, closeModal }) => (
  <Fade visible={isOpen}> // example use case with animation components
    <Modal>
      <Button onClick={closeModal}>
        close modal
      </Button>
    </Modal>
  </Fade>
);

const SimpleModalButton = ({ openModal }) => (
  <button onClick={openModal}>
    open modal
  </button>
);

const SimpleButtonWithModal = () => (
   <ModalContainer
     renderModal={props => <SimpleModal {...props} />}
     renderTrigger={props => <SimpleModalButton {...props} />}
   />
);

export default SimpleButtonWithModal;

I use render functions, because I want to isolate state management and boilerplate logic from the implementation of the rendered modal and trigger component. This allows the rendered components to be whatever you want them to be. In your case, I suppose the modal component could be a connected component that receives a callback function that dispatches an asynchronous action.

If you need to send dynamic props to the modal component from the trigger component, which hopefully doesn't happen too often, I recommend wrapping the ModalContainer with a container component that manages the dynamic props in its own state and enhance the original render methods like so.

import React from 'react'
import partialRight from 'lodash/partialRight';
import ModalContainer from 'components/ModalContainer';

class ErrorModalContainer extends React.Component {
  state = { message: '' }

  onError = (message, callback) => {
    this.setState(
      () => ({ message }),
      () => callback && callback()
    );
  }

  renderModal = (props) => (
    this.props.renderModal({
       ...props,
       message: this.state.message,
    })
  )

  renderTrigger = (props) => (
    this.props.renderTrigger({
      openModal: partialRight(this.onError, props.openModal)
    })
  )

  render() {
    return (
      <ModalContainer
        renderModal={this.renderModal}
        renderTrigger={this.renderTrigger}
      />
    )
  }
}

ErrorModalContainer.propTypes = (
  ModalContainer.propTypes
);

export default ErrorModalContainer;

Getting the actual usedrange

Timings on Excel 2013 fairly slow machine with a big bad used range million rows:

26ms Cells.Find xlPrevious method (as above)

0.4ms Sheet.UsedRange (just call it)

0.14ms Counta binary search + 0.4ms Used Range to start search (12 CountA calls)

So the Find xlPrevious is quite slow if that is of concern.

The CountA binary search approach is to first do a Used Range. Then chop the range in half and see if there are any non-empty cells in the bottom half, and then halve again as needed. It is tricky to get right.

Setting the correct encoding when piping stdout in Python

I could "automate" it with a call to:

def __fix_io_encoding(last_resort_default='UTF-8'):
  import sys
  if [x for x in (sys.stdin,sys.stdout,sys.stderr) if x.encoding is None] :
      import os
      defEnc = None
      if defEnc is None :
        try:
          import locale
          defEnc = locale.getpreferredencoding()
        except: pass
      if defEnc is None :
        try: defEnc = sys.getfilesystemencoding()
        except: pass
      if defEnc is None :
        try: defEnc = sys.stdin.encoding
        except: pass
      if defEnc is None :
        defEnc = last_resort_default
      os.environ['PYTHONIOENCODING'] = os.environ.get("PYTHONIOENCODING",defEnc)
      os.execvpe(sys.argv[0],sys.argv,os.environ)
__fix_io_encoding() ; del __fix_io_encoding

Yes, it's possible to get an infinite loop here if this "setenv" fails.

Using SQL LOADER in Oracle to import CSV file

How to access a dictionary element in a Django template?

Ideally, you would create a method on the choice object that found itself in votes, or create a relationship between the models. A template tag that performed the dictionary lookup would work, too.

LEFT JOIN in LINQ to entities?

You can read an article i have written for joins in LINQ here

var query = 
from  u in Repo.T_Benutzer
join bg in Repo.T_Benutzer_Benutzergruppen
    on u.BE_ID equals bg.BEBG_BE
into temp
from j in temp.DefaultIfEmpty()
select new
{
    BE_User = u.BE_User,
    BEBG_BG = (int?)j.BEBG_BG// == null ? -1 : j.BEBG_BG
            //, bg.Name 
}

The following is the equivalent using extension methods:

var query = 
Repo.T_Benutzer
.GroupJoin
(
    Repo.T_Benutzer_Benutzergruppen,
    x=>x.BE_ID,
    x=>x.BEBG_BE,
    (o,i)=>new {o,i}
)
.SelectMany
(
    x => x.i.DefaultIfEmpty(),
    (o,i) => new
    {
        BE_User = o.o.BE_User,
        BEBG_BG = (int?)i.BEBG_BG
    }
);

Redirect to external URI from ASP.NET MVC controller

If you're talking about ASP.NET MVC then you should have a controller method that returns the following:

return Redirect("http://www.google.com");

Otherwise we need more info on the error you're getting in the redirect. I'd step through to make sure the url isn't empty.

Authenticate Jenkins CI for Github private repository

An alternative to the answer from sergey_mo is to create multiple ssh keys on the jenkins server.

(Though as the first commenter to sergey_mo's answer said, this may end up being more painful than managing a single key-pair.)

PDO::__construct(): Server sent charset (255) unknown to the client. Please, report to the developers

The accepted answer saved me (thanks, Bill!!!), but I ran into another related issue, just wanted to provide some details on my experience -

After upgrading to MySQL 8.0.11, I experienced the same problem as the OP when using PHP's mysqli_connect() function. In my MySQL directory (in my case, usr/local/mysql), I created the my.cnf file, added the content in the accepted answer, then restarted the MySQL server. However, this produced a new error:

mysqli_connect(): The server requested authentication method unknown to the client [caching_sha2_password]

I added the line default_authentication_plugin = mysql_native_password, so my.cnf now looked like:

[client]
default-character-set=utf8

[mysql]
default-character-set=utf8

[mysqld]
collation-server = utf8_unicode_ci
character-set-server = utf8
default_authentication_plugin = mysql_native_password

and I was good to go!

Jquery asp.net Button Click Event via ajax

This is where jQuery really shines for ASP.Net developers. Lets say you have this ASP button:

When that renders, you can look at the source of the page and the id on it won't be btnAwesome, but $ctr001_btnAwesome or something like that. This makes it a pain in the butt to find in javascript. Enter jQuery.

$(document).ready(function() {
  $("input[id$='btnAwesome']").click(function() {
    // Do client side button click stuff here.
  });
});

The id$= is doing a regex match for an id ENDING with btnAwesome.

Edit:

Did you want the ajax call being called from the button click event on the client side? What did you want to call? There are a lot of really good articles on using jQuery to make ajax calls to ASP.Net code behind methods.

The gist of it is you create a static method marked with the WebMethod attribute. You then can make a call to it using jQuery by using $.ajax.

$.ajax({
  type: "POST",
  url: "PageName.aspx/MethodName",
  data: "{}",
  contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
  dataType: "json",
  success: function(msg) {
    // Do something interesting here.
  }
});

I learned my WebMethod stuff from: http://encosia.com/2008/05/29/using-jquery-to-directly-call-aspnet-ajax-page-methods/

A lot of really good ASP.Net/jQuery stuff there. Make sure you read up about why you have to use msg.d in the return on .Net 3.5 (maybe since 3.0) stuff.

Null & empty string comparison in Bash

fedorqui has a working solution but there is another way to do the same thing.

Chock if a variable is set

#!/bin/bash
amIEmpty='Hello'
# This will be true if the variable has a value
if [ $amIEmpty ]; then
    echo 'No, I am not!';
fi

Or to verify that a variable is empty

#!/bin/bash      
amIEmpty=''
# This will be true if the variable is empty
if [ ! $amIEmpty ]; then
    echo 'Yes I am!';
fi

tldp.org has good documentation about if in bash:

How do I create a transparent Activity on Android?

If you are using AppCompatActivity then add this in styles.xml

<style name="TransparentCompat" parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
    <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowBackground">@android:color/transparent</item>
    <item name="android:colorBackgroundCacheHint">@null</item>
    <item name="android:windowIsTranslucent">true</item>
    <item name="android:windowAnimationStyle">@android:style/Animation</item>
</style>

In manifest file you can add this theme to activity tag like this

android:theme="@style/TransparentCompat"

Using --add-host or extra_hosts with docker-compose

It seems like it should be made possible to say:

extra_hosts:
 - "loghost:localhost"

So if the part after the colon (normally an IP address) doesn't start with a digit, then name resolution will be performed to look up an IP for localhost, and add something like to the container's /etc/hosts:

127.0.0.1 loghost

...assuming that localhost resolves to 127.0.0.1 on the host system.

It looks like it'd be really easy to add in docker-compose's source code: compose/config/types.py's parse_extra_hosts function would likely do it.

For docker itself, this would probably be addable in opts/hosts.go's ValidateExtraHost function, though then it's not strictly validating anymore, so the function would be a little misnamed.

It might actually be a little better to add this to docker, not docker-compose - docker-compose might just get it automatically if docker gets it.

Sadly, this would probably require a container bounce to change an IP address.

Auto Increment after delete in MySQL

I got a very simple but tricky method.

While deleting a row, you can preserve the IDs into another temporary table. After that, when you will insert new data into the main table then you can search and pick IDs from the temporary table. So use a checking here. If the temporary table has no IDs then calculate maximum ID into the main table and set the new ID as: new_ID = old_max_ID+1.

NB: You can not use auto-increment feature here.

How to remove html special chars?

If you are working in WordPress and are like me and simply need to check for an empty field (and there are a copious amount of random html entities in what seems like a blank string) then take a look at:

Getting "file not found" in Bridging Header when importing Objective-C frameworks into Swift project

We encountered the same error message, with a completely different cause.

Setup:

  • App target, all Obj-C code
  • Unit Test target with a single swift test case & a bridging header referring to app code

When we added the second swift test case, after a clean (or on a team mate's machine), we saw this error when building the unit test target.

It was fixed by adding a dummy Obj-C class to the unit test target.

Combining a class selector and an attribute selector with jQuery

I think you just need to remove the space. i.e.

is there a post render callback for Angular JS directive?

None of the solutions worked for me accept from using a timeout. This is because I was using a template that was dynamically being created during the postLink.

Note however, there can be a timeout of '0' as the timeout adds the function being called to the browser's queue which will occur after the angular rendering engine as this is already in the queue.

Imported a csv-dataset to R but the values becomes factors

By default, read.csv checks the first few rows of your data to see whether to treat each variable as numeric. If it finds non-numeric values, it assumes the variable is character data, and character variables are converted to factors.

It looks like the PTS and MP variables in your dataset contain non-numerics, which is why you're getting unexpected results. You can force these variables to numeric with

point <- as.numeric(as.character(point))
time <- as.numeric(as.character(time))

But any values that can't be converted will become missing. (The R FAQ gives a slightly different method for factor -> numeric conversion but I can never remember what it is.)

How to detect DIV's dimension changed?

The best solution would be to use the so-called Element Queries. However, they are not standard, no specification exists - and the only option is to use one of the polyfills/libraries available, if you want to go this way.

The idea behind element queries is to allow a certain container on the page to respond to the space that's provided to it. This will allow to write a component once and then drop it anywhere on the page, while it will adjust its contents to its current size. No matter what the Window size is. This is the first difference that we see between element queries and media queries. Everyone hopes that at some point a specification will be created that will standardize element queries (or something that achieves the same goal) and make them native, clean, simple and robust. Most people agree that Media queries are quite limited and don't help for modular design and true responsiveness.

There are a few polyfills/libraries that solve the problem in different ways (could be called workarounds instead of solutions though):

I have seen other solutions to similar problems proposed. Usually they use timers or the Window/viewport size under the hood, which is not a real solution. Furthermore, I think ideally this should be solved mainly in CSS, and not in javascript or html.

Listing all permutations of a string/integer

Here is one more implementation of the algo mentioned.

public class Program
{
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        string str = "abcefgh";
        var astr = new Permutation().GenerateFor(str);
        Console.WriteLine(astr.Length);
        foreach(var a in astr)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(a);
        }
        //a.ForEach(Console.WriteLine);
    }
}

class Permutation
{
    public string[] GenerateFor(string s)
    {  

        if(s.Length == 1)
        {

            return new []{s}; 
        }

        else if(s.Length == 2)
        {

            return new []{s[1].ToString()+s[0].ToString(),s[0].ToString()+s[1].ToString()};

        }

        var comb = new List<string>();

        foreach(var c in s)
        {

            string cStr = c.ToString();

            var sToProcess = s.Replace(cStr,"");
            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(sToProcess) && sToProcess.Length>0)
            {
                var conCatStr = GenerateFor(sToProcess);



                foreach(var a in conCatStr)
                {
                    comb.Add(c.ToString()+a);
                }


            }
        }
        return comb.ToArray();

    }
}

What is __future__ in Python used for and how/when to use it, and how it works

With __future__ module's inclusion, you can slowly be accustomed to incompatible changes or to such ones introducing new keywords.

E.g., for using context managers, you had to do from __future__ import with_statement in 2.5, as the with keyword was new and shouldn't be used as variable names any longer. In order to use with as a Python keyword in Python 2.5 or older, you will need to use the import from above.

Another example is

from __future__ import division
print 8/7  # prints 1.1428571428571428
print 8//7 # prints 1

Without the __future__ stuff, both print statements would print 1.

The internal difference is that without that import, / is mapped to the __div__() method, while with it, __truediv__() is used. (In any case, // calls __floordiv__().)

Apropos print: print becomes a function in 3.x, losing its special property as a keyword. So it is the other way round.

>>> print

>>> from __future__ import print_function
>>> print
<built-in function print>
>>>

how to set default method argument values?

It's not possible to default values in Java. My preferred way to deal with this is to overload the method so you might have something like:

public class MyClass
{
  public int doSomething(int arg1, int arg2)
  {
    ...
  }

  public int doSomething()
  {
    return doSomething(<default value>, <default value>);
  }
}

How to execute a file within the python interpreter?

For Python 3:

Make sure that you're in the correct directory before running the command.

To run a file from a different directory, you can use the below command:

with open ("C:\\Users\\UserName\\SomeFolder\\helloworld.py", "r") as file:
    exec(file.read())

Real time data graphing on a line chart with html5

Several things that might help you:

Canvas Express is a powerful charting library : http://canvasxpress.org/

Here you can find a tutorial about rolling your own equation based graphs: http://www.html5canvastutorials.com/labs/html5-canvas-graphing-an-equation/

Using a canvas solution is very easy, You can retrieve your periodic data for the graph using ajax, and redraw the graph every time you retrieve new data.
Since it's all client side you won't have to refresh the page.

If you knwo your way aroudn javascript and ajax, then it's gonna be a medium difficulty. If you don't then you'll probably have to post some more questions on Stack Ovreflow to help you with the parts you get stuck with.

Android: why is there no maxHeight for a View?

There is no way to set maxHeight. But you can set the Height.

To do that you will need to discovery the height of each item of you scrollView. After that just set your scrollView height to numberOfItens * heightOfItem.

To discovery the height of an item do that:

View item = adapter.getView(0, null, scrollView);
item.measure(0, 0);
int heightOfItem = item.getMeasuredHeight();

To set the height do that:

// if the scrollView already has a layoutParams:
scrollView.getLayoutParams().height = heightOfItem * numberOfItens;
// or
// if the layoutParams is null, then create a new one.
scrollView.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, heightOfItem * numberOfItens));

Install php-mcrypt on CentOS 6

First find out your PHP version. In my case 5.6.

php --version

Then:

sudo yum search mcrypt

And choose the best one for your version from the list, I used php56w-mcrypt.

  $ sudo yum search mcrypt

How to get an MD5 checksum in PowerShell

This site has an example: Using Powershell for MD5 Checksums. It uses the .NET framework to instantiate an instance of the MD5 hash algorithm to calculate the hash.

Here's the code from the article, incorporating Stephen's comment:

param
(
  $file
)

$algo = [System.Security.Cryptography.HashAlgorithm]::Create("MD5")
$stream = New-Object System.IO.FileStream($Path, [System.IO.FileMode]::Open,
    [System.IO.FileAccess]::Read)

$md5StringBuilder = New-Object System.Text.StringBuilder
$algo.ComputeHash($stream) | % { [void] $md5StringBuilder.Append($_.ToString("x2")) }
$md5StringBuilder.ToString()

$stream.Dispose()

Python Pandas User Warning: Sorting because non-concatenation axis is not aligned

jezrael's answer is good, but did not answer a question I had: Will getting the "sort" flag wrong mess up my data in any way? The answer is apparently "no", you are fine either way.

from pandas import DataFrame, concat

a = DataFrame([{'a':1,      'c':2,'d':3      }])
b = DataFrame([{'a':4,'b':5,      'd':6,'e':7}])

>>> concat([a,b],sort=False)
   a    c  d    b    e
0  1  2.0  3  NaN  NaN
0  4  NaN  6  5.0  7.0

>>> concat([a,b],sort=True)
   a    b    c  d    e
0  1  NaN  2.0  3  NaN
0  4  5.0  NaN  6  7.0

How to import cv2 in python3?

Your screenshot shows you doing a pip install from the python terminal which is wrong. Do that outside the python terminal. Also the package I believe you want is:

pip install opencv-python

Since you're running on Windows, I might look at the official install manual: https://breakthrough.github.io/Installing-OpenCV

opencv2 is ONLY compatible with Python3 if you do so by compiling the source code. See the section under opencv supported python versions: https://pypi.org/project/opencv-python

'Java' is not recognized as an internal or external command

It sounds like you haven't added the right directory to your path.

First find out which directory you've installed Java in. For example, on my box it's in C:\Program Files\java\jdk1.7.0_111. Once you've found it, try running it directly. For example:

c:\> "c:\Program Files\java\jdk1.7.0_11\bin\java" -version

Once you've definitely got the right version, add the bin directory to your PATH environment variable.

Note that you don't need a JAVA_HOME environment variable, and haven't for some time. Some tools may use it - and if you're using one of those, then sure, set it - but if you're just using (say) Eclipse and the command-line java/javac tools, you're fine without it.

Convert js Array() to JSon object for use with JQuery .ajax

If the array is already defined, you can create a json object by looping through the elements of the array which you can then post to the server, but if you are creating the array as for the case above, just create a json object instead as sugested by Paolo Bergantino

    var saveData = Array();
    saveData["a"] = 2;
    saveData["c"] = 1;
    
    //creating a json object
    var jObject={};
    for(i in saveData)
    {
        jObject[i] = saveData[i];
    }

    //Stringify this object and send it to the server
    
    jObject= YAHOO.lang.JSON.stringify(jObject);
    $.ajax({
            type:'post',
           cache:false,
             url:"salvaPreventivo.php",
            data:{jObject:  jObject}
    });
    
    // reading the data at the server
    <?php
    $data = json_decode($_POST['jObject'], true);
    print_r($data);
    ?>

    //for jObject= YAHOO.lang.JSON.stringify(jObject); to work,
    //include the follwing files

    //<!-- Dependencies -->

How to ftp with a batch file?

You can use PowerShell as well; this is what I did. As I needed to download a file based on a pattern I dynamically created a command file and then let ftp do the rest.

I used basic PowerShell commands. I did not need to download any additional components. I first checked if the requisite number of files existed. If they I invoked the FTP the second time with an Mget. I run this from a Windows Server 2008 connecting to a Windows XP remote server.

function make_ftp_command_file($p_file_pattern,$mget_flag)
{
    # This function dynamically prepares the FTP file.
    # The file needs to be prepared daily because the
    # pattern changes daily.
    # PowerShell default encoding is Unicode.
    # Unicode command files are not compatible with FTP so
    # we need to make sure we create an ASCII file.

    write-output "USER" | out-file -filepath C:\fc.txt -encoding ASCII
    write-output "ftpusername" | out-file -filepath C:\fc.txt -encoding ASCII -Append
    write-output "password" | out-file -filepath C:\fc.txt -encoding ASCII -Append
    write-output "ASCII" | out-file -filepath C:\fc.txt -encoding ASCII -Append
    If ($mget_flag -eq "Y")
    {
        write-output "prompt" | out-file -filepath C:\fc.txt -encoding ASCII -Append
        write-output "mget $p_file_pattern" | out-file -filepath C:\fc.txt -encoding ASCII -Append
    }
    else
    {
        write-output "ls $p_file_pattern" | out-file -filepath C:\fc.txt -encoding ASCII -Append
    }

    write-output quit | out-file -filepath C:\fc.txt -encoding ASCII -Append
}

Currency format for display

The problem with taking a given number and displaying it with .ToString("C", culture) is that it effectively changes the amount to the default currency of the given culture. If you have a given amount, the ISO currency code of that amount, and you want to display it for a given culture, I would recommend just creating a decimal extension method like the one below. This will not automatically assume that the currency is in the default currency of the culture:

public static string ToFormattedCurrencyString(
    this decimal currencyAmount,
    string isoCurrencyCode,
CultureInfo userCulture)
{
    var userCurrencyCode = new RegionInfo(userCulture.Name).ISOCurrencySymbol;

    if (userCurrencyCode == isoCurrencyCode)
    {
        return currencyAmount.ToString("C", userCulture);
    }

    return string.Format(
        "{0} {1}", 
        isoCurrencyCode, 
        currencyAmount.ToString("N2", userCulture));
}

This will either use the local currency symbol or the ISO currency code with the amount -- whichever is more appropriate. More on the topic in this blog post.

Will #if RELEASE work like #if DEBUG does in C#?

Nope.

While in debug configuration there is a DEBUG defined constant (automatically defined by Visual Studio) while there is no such constant defined for release mode. Check your project settings under build.

Selecting [Define DEBUG constant] under Project -> Build is like including #define DEBUG at the beginning of every file.

If you want to define a RELEASE constant for the release configuration go to:

  • Project Properties -> Build
  • Select Release Mode
  • in the Conditional compilation symbols textbox enter: RELEASE

getting the index of a row in a pandas apply function

Either:

1. with row.name inside the apply(..., axis=1) call:

df = pandas.DataFrame([[1,2,3],[4,5,6]], columns=['a','b','c'], index=['x','y'])

   a  b  c
x  1  2  3
y  4  5  6

df.apply(lambda row: row.name, axis=1)

x    x
y    y

2. with iterrows() (slower)

DataFrame.iterrows() allows you to iterate over rows, and access their index:

for idx, row in df.iterrows():

How do I generate a random integer between min and max in Java?

As the solutions above do not consider the possible overflow of doing max-min when min is negative, here another solution (similar to the one of kerouac)

public static int getRandom(int min, int max) {
    if (min > max) {
        throw new IllegalArgumentException("Min " + min + " greater than max " + max);
    }      
    return (int) ( (long) min + Math.random() * ((long)max - min + 1));
}

this works even if you call it with:

getRandom(Integer.MIN_VALUE, Integer.MAX_VALUE)

How to Replace Multiple Characters in SQL?

I suggest you to create a scalar user defined function. This is an example (sorry in advance, because the variable names are in spanish):

CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[Udf_ReplaceChars] (
  @cadena VARCHAR(500),  -- String to manipulate
  @caracteresElim VARCHAR(100),  -- String of characters to be replaced
  @caracteresReem VARCHAR(100)   -- String of characters for replacement
) 
RETURNS VARCHAR(500)
AS
BEGIN
  DECLARE @cadenaFinal VARCHAR(500), @longCad INT, @pos INT, @caracter CHAR(1), @posCarER INT;
  SELECT
    @cadenaFinal = '',
    @longCad = LEN(@cadena),
    @pos = 1;

  IF LEN(@caracteresElim)<>LEN(@caracteresReem)
    BEGIN
      RETURN NULL;
    END

  WHILE @pos <= @longCad
    BEGIN
      SELECT
        @caracter = SUBSTRING(@cadena,@pos,1),
        @pos = @pos + 1,
        @posCarER = CHARINDEX(@caracter,@caracteresElim);

      IF @posCarER <= 0
        BEGIN
          SET @cadenaFinal = @cadenaFinal + @caracter;
        END
      ELSE
        BEGIN
          SET @cadenaFinal = @cadenaFinal + SUBSTRING(@caracteresReem,@posCarER,1)
        END
    END

  RETURN @cadenaFinal;
END

Here is an example using this function:

SELECT dbo.Udf_ReplaceChars('This is a test.','sat','Z47');

And the result is: 7hiZ iZ 4 7eZ7.

As you can see, each character of the @caracteresElim parameter is replaced by the character in the same position from the @caracteresReem parameter.

Can a normal Class implement multiple interfaces?

An interface can extend other interfaces. Also an interface cannot implement any other interface. When it comes to a class, it can extend one other class and implement any number of interfaces.

class A extends B implements C,D{...}

JPA : How to convert a native query result set to POJO class collection

The easiest way is to use so projections. It can map query results directly to interfaces and is easier to implement than using SqlResultSetMapping.

An example is shown below:

@Repository
public interface PeopleRepository extends JpaRepository<People, Long> {

    @Query(value = "SELECT p.name AS name, COUNT(dp.people_id) AS count " +
        "FROM people p INNER JOIN dream_people dp " +
        "ON p.id = dp.people_id " +
        "WHERE p.user_id = :userId " +
        "GROUP BY dp.people_id " +
        "ORDER BY p.name", nativeQuery = true)
    List<PeopleDTO> findByPeopleAndCountByUserId(@Param("userId") Long userId);

    @Query(value = "SELECT p.name AS name, COUNT(dp.people_id) AS count " +
        "FROM people p INNER JOIN dream_people dp " +
        "ON p.id = dp.people_id " +
        "WHERE p.user_id = :userId " +
        "GROUP BY dp.people_id " +
        "ORDER BY p.name", nativeQuery = true)
    Page<PeopleDTO> findByPeopleAndCountByUserId(@Param("userId") Long userId, Pageable pageable);

}



// Interface to which result is projected
public interface PeopleDTO {

    String getName();

    Long getCount();

}

The fields from projected interface must match fields in this entity. Otherwise field mapping might break.

Also if you use SELECT table.column notation always define aliases matching names from entity as shown in example.

jsonify a SQLAlchemy result set in Flask

Here's my answer if you're using the declarative base (with help from some of the answers already posted):

# in your models definition where you define and extend declarative_base()
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base
...
Base = declarative_base()
Base.query = db_session.query_property()
...

# define a new class (call "Model" or whatever) with an as_dict() method defined
class Model():
    def as_dict(self):
        return { c.name: getattr(self, c.name) for c in self.__table__.columns }

# and extend both the Base and Model class in your model definition, e.g.
class Rating(Base, Model):
    ____tablename__ = 'rating'
    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
    fullurl = db.Column(db.String())
    url = db.Column(db.String())
    comments = db.Column(db.Text)
    ...

# then after you query and have a resultset (rs) of ratings
rs = Rating.query.all()

# you can jsonify it with
s = json.dumps([r.as_dict() for r in rs], default=alchemyencoder)
print (s)

# or if you have a single row
r = Rating.query.first()

# you can jsonify it with
s = json.dumps(r.as_dict(), default=alchemyencoder)

# you will need this alchemyencoder where your are calling json.dumps to handle datetime and decimal format
# credit to Joonas @ http://codeandlife.com/2014/12/07/sqlalchemy-results-to-json-the-easy-way/
def alchemyencoder(obj):

PHP compare two arrays and get the matched values not the difference

I think the better answer for this questions is

array_diff() 

because it Compares array against one or more other arrays and returns the values in array that are not present in any of the other arrays.

Whereas

array_intersect() returns an array containing all the values of array that are present in all the arguments. Note that keys are preserved.

CSS: how to add white space before element's content?

Since you are looking for adding space between elements you may need something as simple as a margin-left or padding-left. Here are examples of both http://jsfiddle.net/BGHqn/3/

This will add 10 pixels to the left of the paragraph element

p {
    margin-left: 10px;
 }

Programmatically generate video or animated GIF in Python?

I'd recommend not using images2gif from visvis because it has problems with PIL/Pillow and is not actively maintained (I should know, because I am the author).

Instead, please use imageio, which was developed to solve this problem and more, and is intended to stay.

Quick and dirty solution:

import imageio
images = []
for filename in filenames:
    images.append(imageio.imread(filename))
imageio.mimsave('/path/to/movie.gif', images)

For longer movies, use the streaming approach:

import imageio
with imageio.get_writer('/path/to/movie.gif', mode='I') as writer:
    for filename in filenames:
        image = imageio.imread(filename)
        writer.append_data(image)

How to commit changes to a new branch

If you haven't committed changes

If your changes are compatible with the other branch

This is the case from the question because the OP wants to commit to a new branch and also applies if your changes are compatible with the target branch without triggering an overwrite.

As in the accepted answer by John Brodie, you can simply checkout the new branch and commit the work:

git checkout -b branch_name
git add <files>
git commit -m "message"

If your changes are incompatible with the other branch

If you get the error:

error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by checkout:
...
Please commit your changes or stash them before you switch branches

Then you can stash your work, create a new branch, then pop your stash changes, and resolve the conflicts:

git stash
git checkout -b branch_name
git stash pop

It will be as if you had made those changes after creating the new branch. Then you can commit as usual:

git add <files>
git commit -m "message"

If you have committed changes

If you want to keep the commits in the original branch

See the answer by Carl Norum with cherry-picking, which is the right tool in this case:

git checkout <target name>
git cherry-pick <original branch>

If you don't want to keep the commits in the original branch

See the answer by joeytwiddle on this potential duplicate. Follow any of the above steps as appropriate, then roll back the original branch:

git branch -f <original branch> <earlier commit id>

If you have pushed your changes to a shared remote like GitHub, you should not attempt this roll-back unless you know what you are doing.

LDAP Authentication using Java

This is my LDAP Java login test application supporting LDAP:// and LDAPS:// self-signed test certificate. Code is taken from few SO posts, simplified implementation and removed legacy sun.java.* imports.

Usage
I have run this in Windows7 and Linux machines against WinAD directory service. Application prints username and member groups.

$ java -cp classes test.LoginLDAP url=ldap://1.2.3.4:389 [email protected] password=mypwd

$ java -cp classes test.LoginLDAP url=ldaps://1.2.3.4:636 [email protected] password=mypwd

Test application supports temporary self-signed test certificates for ldaps:// protocol, this DummySSLFactory accepts any server cert so man-in-the-middle is possible. Real life installation should import server certificate to a local JKS keystore file and not using dummy factory.

Application uses enduser's username+password for initial context and ldap queries, it works for WinAD but don't know if can be used for all ldap server implementations. You could create context with internal username+pwd then run queries to see if given enduser is found.

Get filename in batch for loop

When Command Extensions are enabled (Windows XP and newer, roughly), you can use the syntax %~nF (where F is the variable and ~n is the request for its name) to only get the filename.

FOR /R C:\Directory %F in (*.*) do echo %~nF

should echo only the filenames.

How to pass a parameter to routerLink that is somewhere inside the URL?

There are multiple ways of achieving this.

  • Through [routerLink] directive
  • The navigate(Array) method of the Router class
  • The navigateByUrl(string) method which takes a string and returns a promise

The routerLink attribute requires you to import the routingModule into the feature module in case you lazy loaded the feature module or just import the app-routing-module if it is not automatically added to the AppModule imports array.

  • RouterLink
<a [routerLink]="['/user', user.id]">John Doe</a>
<a routerLink="urlString">John Doe</a> // urlString is computed in your component
  • Navigate
// Inject Router into your component
// Inject ActivatedRoute into your component. This will allow the route to be done related to the current url
this._router.navigate(['user',user.id], {relativeTo: this._activatedRoute})
  • NavigateByUrl
this._router.navigateByUrl(urlString).then((bool) => {}).catch()

How to compile Go program consisting of multiple files?

Since Go 1.11+, GOPATH is no longer recommended, the new way is using Go Modules.

Say you're writing a program called simple:

  1. Create a directory:

    mkdir simple
    cd simple
    
  2. Create a new module:

    go mod init github.com/username/simple
    # Here, the module name is: github.com/username/simple.
    # You're free to choose any module name.
    # It doesn't matter as long as it's unique.
    # It's better to be a URL: so it can be go-gettable.
    
  3. Put all your files in that directory.

  4. Finally, run:

    go run .
    
  5. Alternatively, you can create an executable program by building it:

    go build .
    
    # then:
    ./simple     # if you're on xnix
    
    # or, just:
    simple       # if you're on Windows
    

For more information, you may read this.

Go has included support for versioned modules as proposed here since 1.11. The initial prototype vgo was announced in February 2018. In July 2018, versioned modules landed in the main Go repository. In Go 1.14, module support is considered ready for production use, and all users are encouraged to migrate to modules from other dependency management systems.

List<object>.RemoveAll - How to create an appropriate Predicate

I wanted to address something none of the answers have so far:

From what I've read so far, it appears that I can use Vehicles.RemoveAll() to delete an item with a particular VehicleID. As an[sic] supplementary question, is a Generic list the best repository for these objects?

Assuming VehicleID is unique as the name suggests, a list is a terribly inefficient way to store them when you get a lot of vehicles, as removal(and other methods like Find) is still O(n). Have a look at a HashSet<Vehicle> instead, it has O(1) removal(and other methods) using:

int GetHashCode(Vehicle vehicle){return vehicle.VehicleID;}
int Equals(Vehicle v1, Vehicle v2){return v1.VehicleID == v2.VehicleID;}

Removing all vehicles with a specific EnquiryID still requires iterating over all elements this way, so you could consider a GetHashCode that returns the EnquiryID instead, depending on which operation you do more often. This has the downside of a lot of collisions if a lot of Vehicles share the same EnquiryID though.

In this case, a better alternative is to make a Dictionary<int, List<Vehicle>> that maps EnquiryIDs to Vehicles and keep that up to date when adding/removing vehicles. Removing these vehicles from a HashSet is then an O(m) operation, where m is the number of vehicles with a specific EnquiryID.

Change hash without reload in jQuery

You could try catching the onload event. And stopping the propagation dependent on some flag.

var changeHash = false;

$('ul.questions li a').click(function(event) {
    var $this = $(this)
    $('.tab').hide();  //you can improve the speed of this selector.
    $($this.attr('href')).fadeIn('slow');
    StopEvent(event);  //notice I've changed this
    changeHash = true;
    window.location.hash = $this.attr('href');
});

$(window).onload(function(event){
    if (changeHash){
        changeHash = false;
        StopEvent(event);
    }
}

function StopEvent(event){
    event.preventDefault();
    event.stopPropagation();
    if ($.browser.msie) {
        event.originalEvent.keyCode = 0;
        event.originalEvent.cancelBubble = true;
        event.originalEvent.returnValue = false;
    }
}

Not tested, so can't say if it would work

curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
//curl_setopt(... other options you want...)

$html = curl_exec($c);

if (curl_error($c))
    die(curl_error($c));

// Get the status code
$status = curl_getinfo($c, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);

curl_close($c);

How to get the insert ID in JDBC?

I'm hitting Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 from a single-threaded JDBC-based application and pulling back the last ID without using the RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS property or any PreparedStatement. Looks something like this:

    int generatedKey = -1;

    try {
        Statement statement = conn.createStatement();
        statement.execute(SQLQy);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        errorDescription = "Failed to insert SQL query: " + SQLQy + "( " + e.toString() + ")";

Install Android App Bundle on device

You cannot install app bundle [NAME].aab directly to android device because it is publishing format, but there is way to extract the required apk from bundle and install it to you device, the process is as follow

  1. Download bundletool from here
  2. run this in your terminal,
java -jar bundletool.jar build-apks --bundle=bundleapp.aab --output=out_bundle_archive_set.apks
  1. Last step will generate a file named as out_bundle_archive_set.apks, just rename it to out_bundle_archive_set.zip and extract the zip file, jump into the folder out_bundle_archive_set > standalones, where you will seee a list of all the apks

There goes the reference from android developers for bundle tools link

How to clamp an integer to some range?

Avoid writing functions for such small tasks, unless you apply them often, as it will clutter up your code.

for lists of values:

map(lambda x: min(clamp_max, max(clamp_min, x)), values)

Run git pull over all subdirectories

The mr utility (a.k.a., myrepos) provides an outstanding solution to this very problem. Install it using your favorite package manager, or just grab the mr script directly from github and put it in $HOME/bin or somewhere else on your PATH. Then, cd to the parent plugins folder shared by these repos and create a basic .mrconfig file with contents similar to the following (adjusting the URLs as needed):

# File: .mrconfig
[cms]
checkout = git clone 'https://<username>@github.com/<username>/cms' 'cms'

[admin]
checkout = git clone 'https://<username>@github.com/<username>/admin' 'admin'

[chart]
checkout = git clone 'https://<username>@github.com/<username>/chart' 'chart'

After that, you can run mr up from the top level plugins folder to pull updates from each repository. (Note that this will also do the initial clone if the target working copy doesn't yet exist.) Other commands you can execute include mr st, mr push, mr log, mr diff, etc—run mr help to see what's possible. There's a mr run command that acts as a pass-through, allowing you to access VCS commands not directly suported by mr itself (e.g., mr run git tag STAGING_081220015). And you can even create your own custom commands that execute arbitrary bits of shell script targeting all repos!

mr is an extremely useful tool for dealing with multiple repos. Since the plugins folder is in your home directory, you might also be interested in vcsh. Together with mr, it provides a powerful mechanism for managing all of your configuration files. See this blog post by Thomas Ferris Nicolaisen for an overview.

Java, return if trimmed String in List contains String

You need to iterate your list and call String#trim for searching:

String search = "A";
for(String str: myList) {
    if(str.trim().contains(search))
       return true;
}
return false;

OR if you want to perform ignore case search, then use:

search = search.toLowerCase(); // outside loop

// inside the loop

Cross origin protection is a feature of the browser. Curl does not care for CORS, as you presumed. That explains why your curls are successful, while the browser requests are not.

If you send the browser request with the wrong credentials, spring will try to forward the client to a login page. This response (off the login page) does not contain the header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' and the browser reacts as you describe.

You must make spring to include the haeder for this login response, and may be for other response, like error pages etc.

This can be done like this :

    @Configuration
    @EnableWebMvc
    public class WebConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {

            @Override
            public void addCorsMappings(CorsRegistry registry) {
                registry.addMapping("/api/**")
                    .allowedOrigins("http://domain2.com")
                    .allowedMethods("PUT", "DELETE")
                    .allowedHeaders("header1", "header2", "header3")
                    .exposedHeaders("header1", "header2")
                    .allowCredentials(false).maxAge(3600);
            }
     }

This is copied from cors-support-in-spring-framework

I would start by adding cors mapping for all resources with :

registry.addMapping("/**")

and also allowing all methods headers.. Once it works you may start to reduce that again to the needed minimum.

Please note, that the CORS configuration changes with Release 4.2.

If this does not solve your issues, post the response you get from the failed ajax request.

How can I convert an Int to a CString?

If you want something more similar to your example try _itot_s. On Microsoft compilers _itot_s points to _itoa_s or _itow_s depending on your Unicode setting:

CString str;
_itot_s( 15, str.GetBufferSetLength( 40 ), 40, 10 );
str.ReleaseBuffer();

it should be slightly faster since it doesn't need to parse an input format.

Detecting which UIButton was pressed in a UITableView

you can use the tag pattern:

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
     NSString *identifier = @"identifier";
     UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:identifier];
     if (cell == nil) {
         cell = [[UITableView alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:identifier];
         [cell autorelelase];

         UIButton *button = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 5, 40, 20)];
         [button addTarget:self action:@selector(buttonPressedAction:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
         [button setTag:[indexPath row]]; //use the row as the current tag
         [cell.contentView addSubview:button];

         [button release];
     }

     UIButton *button = (UIButton *)[cell viewWithTag:[indexPath row]]; //use [indexPath row]
     [button setTitle:@"Edit" forState:UIControlStateNormal];

     return cell;
}

- (void)buttonPressedAction:(id)sender
{
    UIButton *button = (UIButton *)sender;
    //button.tag has the row number (you can convert it to indexPath)
}

What is the significance of url-pattern in web.xml and how to configure servlet?

Servlet-mapping has two child tags, url-pattern and servlet-name. url-pattern specifies the type of urls for which, the servlet given in servlet-name should be called. Be aware that, the container will use case-sensitive for string comparisons for servlet matching.

First specification of url-pattern a web.xml file for the server context on the servlet container at server .com matches the pattern in <url-pattern>/status/*</url-pattern> as follows:

http://server.com/server/status/synopsis               = Matches
http://server.com/server/status/complete?date=today    = Matches
http://server.com/server/status                        = Matches
http://server.com/server/server1/status                = Does not match

Second specification of url-pattern A context located at the path /examples on the Agent at example.com matches the pattern in <url-pattern>*.map</url-pattern> as follows:

 http://server.com/server/US/Oregon/Portland.map    = Matches
 http://server.com/server/US/server/Seattle.map     = Matches
 http://server.com/server/Paris.France.map          = Matches
 http://server.com/server/US/Oregon/Portland.MAP    = Does not match, the extension is uppercase
 http://example.com/examples/interface/description/mail.mapi  =Does not match, the extension is mapi rather than map`

Third specification of url-mapping,A mapping that contains the pattern <url-pattern>/</url-pattern> matches a request if no other pattern matches. This is the default mapping. The servlet mapped to this pattern is called the default servlet.

The default mapping is often directed to the first page of an application. Explicitly providing a default mapping also ensures that malformed URL requests into the application return are handled by the application rather than returning an error.

The servlet-mapping element below maps the server servlet instance to the default mapping.

<servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-name>server</servlet-name>
  <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

For the context that contains this element, any request that is not handled by another mapping is forwarded to the server servlet.

And Most importantly we should Know about Rule for URL path mapping

  1. The container will try to find an exact match of the path of the request to the path of the servlet. A successful match selects the servlet.
  2. The container will recursively try to match the longest path-prefix. This is done by stepping down the path tree a directory at a time, using the ’/’ character as a path separator. The longest match determines the servlet selected.
  3. If the last segment in the URL path contains an extension (e.g. .jsp), the servlet container will try to match a servlet that handles requests for the extension. An extension is defined as the part of the last segment after the last ’.’ character.
  4. If neither of the previous three rules result in a servlet match, the container will attempt to serve content appropriate for the resource requested. If a “default” servlet is defined for the application, it will be used.

Input type=password, don't let browser remember the password

<input type="password" autocomplete="off" />

I'd just like to add that as a user I think this is very annoying and a hassle to overcome. I strongly recommend against using this as it will more than likely aggravate your users.

Passwords are already not stored in the MRU, and correctly configured public machines will not even save the username.

Does an HTTP Status code of 0 have any meaning?

Know it's an old post. But these issues still exist.

Here are some of my findings on the subject, grossly explained.

"Status" 0 means one of 3 things, as per the XMLHttpRequest spec:

  • dns name resolution failed (that's for instance when network plug is pulled out)

  • server did not answer (a.k.a. unreachable or unresponding)

  • request was aborted because of a CORS issue (abortion is performed by the user-agent and follows a failing OPTIONS pre-flight).

If you want to go further, dive deep into the inners of XMLHttpRequest. I suggest reading the ready-state update sequence ([0,1,2,3,4] is the normal sequence, [0,1,4] corresponds to status 0, [0,1,2,4] means no content sent which may be an error or not). You may also want to attach listeners to the xhr (onreadystatechange, onabort, onerror, ontimeout) to figure out details.

From the spec (XHR Living spec):

const unsigned short UNSENT = 0;
const unsigned short OPENED = 1;
const unsigned short HEADERS_RECEIVED = 2;
const unsigned short LOADING = 3;
const unsigned short DONE = 4;

Cannot create PoolableConnectionFactory

In my case the solution was to remove the attribute

validationQuery="select 1"

from the (Derby DB) resource tag.

Browser: Identifier X has already been declared

I had a very close issue but in my case, it was Identifier 'e' has already been declared.

In my case caused because of using try {} catch (e) { var e = ... } where letter e is generated via minifier (uglifier).

So better solution could be use catch(ex){} (ex as an Excemption)

Hope somebody who searched with the similar question could find this question helpful.

javascript: detect scroll end

I created a event based solution based on Bjorn Tipling's answer:

(function(doc){
    'use strict';

    window.onscroll = function (event) {
        if (isEndOfElement(doc.body)){
            sendNewEvent('end-of-page-reached');
        }
    };

    function isEndOfElement(element){
        //visible height + pixel scrolled = total height 
        return element.offsetHeight + element.scrollTop >= element.scrollHeight;
    }

    function sendNewEvent(eventName){
        var event = doc.createEvent('Event');
        event.initEvent(eventName, true, true);
        doc.dispatchEvent(event);
    }
}(document));

And you use the event like this:

document.addEventListener('end-of-page-reached', function(){
    console.log('you reached the end of the page');
});

BTW: you need to add this CSS for javascript to know how long the page is

html, body {
    height: 100%;
}

Using a batch to copy from network drive to C: or D: drive

Most importantly you need to mount the drive

net use z: \\yourserver\sharename

Of course, you need to make sure that the account the batch file runs under has permission to access the share. If you are doing this by using a Scheduled Task, you can choose the account by selecting the task, then:

  • right click Properties
  • click on General tab
  • change account under

"When running the task, use the following user account:" That's on Windows 7, it might be slightly different on different versions of Windows.

Then run your batch script with the following changes

copy "z:\FolderName" "C:\TEST_BACKUP_FOLDER"

Selenium WebDriver can't find element by link text

This doesn't seem to have <a> </a> tags so selenium might not be able to detect it as a link.

You may try and use

driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@class='ng-binding']")).click();

if this is the only element in that page with this class .

How to keep one variable constant with other one changing with row in excel

There are two kinds of cell reference, and it's really valuable to understand them well.

One is relative reference, which is what you get when you just type the cell: A5. This reference will be adjusted when you paste or fill the formula into other cells.

The other is absolute reference, and you get this by adding dollar signs to the cell reference: $A$5. This cell reference will not change when pasted or filled.

A cool but rarely used feature is that row and column within a single cell reference may be independent: $A5 and A$5. This comes in handy for producing things like multiplication tables from a single formula.

Difference between HashMap and Map in Java..?

Map<K,V> is an interface, HashMap<K,V> is a class that implements Map.

you can do

Map<Key,Value> map = new HashMap<Key,Value>();

Here you have a link to the documentation of each one: Map, HashMap.

How to tell a Mockito mock object to return something different the next time it is called?

You could also Stub Consecutive Calls (#10 in 2.8.9 api). In this case, you would use multiple thenReturn calls or one thenReturn call with multiple parameters (varargs).

import static org.junit.Assert.assertEquals;
import static org.mockito.Mockito.mock;
import static org.mockito.Mockito.when;

import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;

public class TestClass {

    private Foo mockFoo;

    @Before
    public void setup() {
        setupFoo();
    }

    @Test
    public void testFoo() {
        TestObject testObj = new TestObject(mockFoo);

        assertEquals(0, testObj.bar());
        assertEquals(1, testObj.bar());
        assertEquals(-1, testObj.bar());
        assertEquals(-1, testObj.bar());
    }

    private void setupFoo() {
        mockFoo = mock(Foo.class);

        when(mockFoo.someMethod())
            .thenReturn(0)
            .thenReturn(1)
            .thenReturn(-1); //any subsequent call will return -1

        // Or a bit shorter with varargs:
        when(mockFoo.someMethod())
            .thenReturn(0, 1, -1); //any subsequent call will return -1
    }
}

how to bind img src in angular 2 in ngFor?

Angular 2.x to 8 Compatible!

You can directly give the source property of the current object in the img src attribute. Please see my code below:

<div *ngFor="let brochure of brochureList">
    <img class="brochure-poster" [src]="brochure.imageUrl" />
</div>

NOTE: You can as well use string interpolation but that is not a legit way to do it. Property binding was created for this very purpose hence better use this.

NOT RECOMMENDED :

<img class="brochure-poster" src="{{brochure.imageUrl}}"/>

Its because that defeats the purpose of property binding. It is more meaningful to use that for setting the properties. {{}} is a normal string interpolation expression, that does not reveal to anyone reading the code that it makes special meaning. Using [] makes it easily to spot the properties that are set dynamically.

Here is my brochureList contains the following json received from service(you can assign it to any variable):

[ {
            "productId":1,
            "productName":"Beauty Products",
            "productCode": "XXXXXX",            
            "description":  "Skin Care",           
            "imageUrl":"app/Images/c1.jpg"
         },
        {
             "productId":2,
            "productName":"Samsung Galaxy J5",
            "productCode": "MOB-124",      
            "description":  "8GB, Gold",
            "imageUrl":"app/Images/c8.jpg"
         }]

How do I set up curl to permanently use a proxy?

Many UNIX programs respect the http_proxy environment variable, curl included. The format curl accepts is [protocol://]<host>[:port].

In your shell configuration:

export http_proxy http://proxy.server.com:3128

For proxying HTTPS requests, set https_proxy as well.

Curl also allows you to set this in your .curlrc file (_curlrc on Windows), which you might consider more permanent:

http_proxy=http://proxy.server.com:3128

Pointtype command for gnuplot

You first have to tell Gnuplot to use a style that uses points, e.g. with points or with linespoints. Try for example:

plot sin(x) with points

Output:

Now try:

plot sin(x) with points pointtype 5

Output:

You may also want to look at the output from the test command which shows you the capabilities of the current terminal. Here are the capabilities for my pngairo terminal:

Can you center a Button in RelativeLayout?

Try

android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"

Exactly like this, it works for me:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                android:background="#ff0000">

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/btn_mybutton"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_width="124dip"
        android:layout_marginTop="5dip"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"/>

Why is `input` in Python 3 throwing NameError: name... is not defined

In operating systems like Ubuntu python comes preinstalled. So the default version is python 2.7 you can confirm the version by typing below command in your terminal

python -V

if you installed it but didn't set default version you will see

python 2.7

in terminal. I will tell you how to set the default python version in Ubuntu.

A simple safe way would be to use an alias. Place this into ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_aliases file:

alias python=python3

After adding the above in the file, run the command below:

source ~/.bash_aliases or source ~/.bashrc

now check python version again using python -V

if python version 3.x.x one, then the error is in your syntax like using print with parenthesis. change it to

test = input("enter the test")
print(test)

Swift - How to hide back button in navigation item?

self.navigationItem.setHidesBackButton(true, animated: false)

Replace first occurrence of pattern in a string

There are a number of ways that you could do this, but the fastest might be to use IndexOf to find the index position of the letter you want to replace and then substring out the text before and after what you want to replace.

Warning: mysqli_error() expects exactly 1 parameter, 0 given error

mysqli_error function requires $myConnection as parameters, that's why you get the warning

Center an item with position: relative

Much simpler:

position: relative; 
left: 50%;
transform: translateX(-50%);

You are now centered in your parent element. You can do that vertically too.

What's the difference between commit() and apply() in SharedPreferences

commit() writes the data synchronously and returns a boolean value of success or failure depending on the result immediately.

apply() is asynchronous and it won’t return any boolean response. Also if there is an apply() outstanding and we perform another commit(). The commit() will be blocked until the apply() is not completed.

Reset the Value of a Select Box

What worked for me was:

$('select option').each(function(){$(this).removeAttr('selected');});   

Is Laravel really this slow?

Laravel is slow, because in most cases, using PHP for web pages is slow.

With Laravel, the entire framework is rebuilt on every invocation - that is why all pages point to index.php. Since the entire framework is PHP scripts, they all need to go through the PHP interpreter - each time. The larger the framework, the longer this takes.

Contrast this with a "server environment" (e.g. tomcat) where the server runs the initialization code once, and eventually all pages will be in native code (after JIT).

As a reference example, using the same hardware, OS, etc. a simple 'hello world' using JSP on this hardware is 3000 rps, the same hello world on laravel is 51 rps.

The easiest way to test framework overhead, and the resulting maximum RPS per core, is to use Apache AB and a concurrency value of 1, with a simple 'hello world' that is dynamic (to avoid static page caching).

Crystal Reports - Adding a parameter to a 'Command' query

Try this:

Select Project_Name, ReleaseDate, TaskName
From DB_Table
Where Project_Name like '{?Pm-?Proj_Name}'
  And ReleaseDate >= currentdate

currentdate should be a valid database function or field to work. If you are using MS SQL Server, use GETDATE() instead.

If all you want is to filter records in a subreport based on a parameter from the main report, it might be easier to simply add the table to the subreport, and then create a Project_Name link between the main report and subreport. You can then use the Select Expert to filter the ReleaseDate as well.

How do I make JavaScript beep?

Solution

You can now use base64 files to produce sounds when imported as data URI. The solution is almost the same as the previous ones, except you do not need to import an external audio file.

function beep() {
    var snd = new Audio("data:audio/wav;base64,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");

Is there a replacement for unistd.h for Windows (Visual C)?

I would recommend using mingw/msys as a development environment. Especially if you are porting simple console programs. Msys implements a Unix-like shell on Windows, and mingw is a port of the GNU compiler collection (GCC) and other GNU build tools to the Windows platform. It is an open-source project, and well-suited to the task. I currently use it to build utility programs and console applications for Windows XP, and it most certainly has that unistd.h header you are looking for.

The install procedure can be a little bit tricky, but I found that the best place to start is in MSYS.

Refresh (reload) a page once using jQuery?

Alright, I think I got what you're asking for. Try this

if(window.top==window) {
    // You're not in a frame, so you reload the site.
    window.setTimeout('location.reload()', 3000); //Reloads after three seconds
}
else {
    //You're inside a frame, so you stop reloading.
}

If it is once, then just do

$('#div-id').triggerevent(function(){
    $('#div-id').html(newContent);
});

If it is periodically

function updateDiv(){
    //Get new content through Ajax
    ...
    $('#div-id').html(newContent);
}

setInterval(updateDiv, 5000); // That's five seconds

So, every five seconds the div #div-id content will refresh. Better than refreshing the whole page.

Convert Java string to Time, NOT Date

try...

 java.sql.Time.valueOf("10:30:54");

How do I serialize a Python dictionary into a string, and then back to a dictionary?

Use Python's json module, or simplejson if you don't have python 2.6 or higher.

A function to convert null to string

Sometimes I just append an empty string to an object that might be null.

object x = null;
string y = (x + "").ToString();

This will never throw an exception and always return an empty string if null and doesn't require if then logic.

Include CSS,javascript file in Yii Framework

Easy in your conf/main.php. This is my example with bootstrap. You can see that here

'components'=>array(
    'clientScript' => array(
        'scriptMap' => array(
            'jquery.js'=>false,  //disable default implementation of jquery
            'jquery.min.js'=>false,  //desable any others default implementation
            'core.css'=>false, //disable
            'styles.css'=>false,  //disable
            'pager.css'=>false,   //disable
            'default.css'=>false,  //disable
        ),
        'packages'=>array(
            'jquery'=>array(                             // set the new jquery
                'baseUrl'=>'bootstrap/',
                'js'=>array('js/jquery-1.7.2.min.js'),
            ),
            'bootstrap'=>array(                       //set others js libraries
                'baseUrl'=>'bootstrap/',
                'js'=>array('js/bootstrap.min.js'),
                'css'=>array(                        // and css
                    'css/bootstrap.min.css',
                    'css/custom.css',
                    'css/bootstrap-responsive.min.css',
                ),
                'depends'=>array('jquery'),         // cause load jquery before load this.
            ),
        ),
    ),
),

How can I rebuild indexes and update stats in MySQL innoDB?

This is done with

ANALYZE TABLE table_name;

Read more about it here.

ANALYZE TABLE analyzes and stores the key distribution for a table. During the analysis, the table is locked with a read lock for MyISAM, BDB, and InnoDB. This statement works with MyISAM, BDB, InnoDB, and NDB tables.

How to get cookie's expire time

It seems there's a list of all cookies sent to browser in array returned by php's headers_list() which among other data returns "Set-Cookie" elements as follows:

Set-Cookie: cooke_name=cookie_value; expires=expiration_time; Max-Age=age; path=path; domain=domain

This way you can also get deleted ones since their value is deleted:

Set-Cookie: cooke_name=deleted; expires=expiration_time; Max-Age=age; path=path; domain=domain

From there on it's easy to retrieve expiration time or age for particular cookie. Keep in mind though that this array is probably available only AFTER actual call to setcookie() has been made so it's valid for script that has already finished it's job. I haven't tested this in some other way(s) since this worked just fine for me.

This is rather old topic and I'm not sure if this is valid for all php builds but I thought it might be helpfull.

For more info see:

https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.headers-list.php
https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.headers-sent.php

Python String and Integer concatenation

for i in range[1,10]: 
  string = "string" + str(i)

The str(i) function converts the integer into a string.

Attaching click event to a JQuery object not yet added to the DOM

You have to append it. Create the element with:

var $div = $("<div>my div</div>");
$div.click(function(){alert("clicked")})
return $div;

Then if you append it will work.

Take a look at your example here and a simple version here.

Why my $.ajax showing "preflight is invalid redirect error"?

This answer goes over the exact same thing (although for angular) -- it is a CORS issue.

One quick fix is to modify each POST request by specifying one of the 'Content-Type' header values which will not trigger a "preflight". These types are:

  • application/x-www-form-urlencoded
  • multipart/form-data
  • text/plain

ANYTHING ELSE triggers a preflight.

For example:

$.ajax({
   url: 'http://api.example.com/users/get',
   type: 'POST',
   headers: {
      'name-api-key':'ewf45r4435trge',
      'Content-Type':'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
   },
   data: {
      'uid':36,
   },
   success: function(data) {
      console.log(data);
   }
});

Python function as a function argument?

Functions in Python are first-class objects. But your function definition is a bit off.

def myfunc(anotherfunc, extraArgs, extraKwArgs):
  return anotherfunc(*extraArgs, **extraKwArgs)

Checkbox angular material checked by default

You can use

<mat-checkbox [attr.checked] = "myCondition ? 'checked' : null">

if the checked attribute is set to null, it gets removed from the html tag

or you can use Vega's anwser which should work too (mine is a completion that can be usefull if you don't want to link it with ngModel)
