How to download source in ZIP format from GitHub?

Even though this is fairly an old question, I have my 2 cents to share.

You can download the repo as tar.gz as well

Like the zipball link pointed by various answers here, There is a tarball link as well which downloads the content of the git repository in tar.gz format.

curl -L http://github.com/zoul/Finch/tarball/master/

A better way

Git also provides a different URL pattern where you can simply append the type of file you want to download at the end of url. This way is better if you want to process these urls in a batch or bash script.

curl -L http://github.com/zoul/Finch/archive/master.zip

curl -L http://github.com/zoul/Finch/archive/master.tar.gz

To download a specific commit or branch

Replace master with the commit-hash or the branch-name in the above urls like below.

curl -L http://github.com/zoul/Finch/archive/cfeb671ac55f6b1aba6ed28b9bc9b246e0e.zip    
curl -L http://github.com/zoul/Finch/archive/cfeb671ac55f6b1aba6ed28b9bc9b246e0e.tar.gz

curl -L http://github.com/zoul/Finch/archive/your-branch-name.zip
curl -L http://github.com/zoul/Finch/archive/your-branch-name.tar.gz

git clone from another directory

In case you have space in your path, wrap it in double quotes:

$ git clone "//serverName/New Folder/Target" f1/

Can I give a default value to parameters or optional parameters in C# functions?

That is exactly how you do it in C#, but the feature was first added in .NET 4.0

Creating a PHP header/footer

You can use this for header: Important: Put the following on your PHP pages that you want to include the content.

<?php
//at top:
require('header.php'); 
 ?>
 <?php
// at bottom:
require('footer.php');
?>

You can also include a navbar globaly just use this instead:

 <?php
 // At top:
require('header.php'); 
 ?>
  <?php
// At bottom:
require('footer.php');
 ?>
 <?php
 //Wherever navbar goes:
require('navbar.php'); 
?>

In header.php:

 <!DOCTYPE html>
 <html lang="en">
 <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
 <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, shrink-to-fit=no">
 </head>
 <body> 

Do Not close Body or Html tags!
Include html here:

 <?php
 //Or more global php here:

 ?>

Footer.php:

Code here:

<?php
//code

?>

Navbar.php:

<p> Include html code here</p>
<?php
 //Include Navbar PHP code here
 
?>

Benifits:

  • Cleaner main php file (index.php) script.
  • Change the header or footer. etc to change it on all pages with the include— Good for alerts on all pages etc...
  • Time Saving!
  • Faster page loads!
  • you can have as many files to include as needed!
  • server sided!

Convert RGB to Black & White in OpenCV

Simple binary threshold method is sufficient.

include

#include <string>
#include "opencv/highgui.h"
#include "opencv2/imgproc/imgproc.hpp"

using namespace std;
using namespace cv;

int main()
{
    Mat img = imread("./img.jpg",0);//loading gray scale image
    threshold(img, img, 128, 255, CV_THRESH_BINARY);//threshold binary, you can change threshold 128 to your convenient threshold
    imwrite("./black-white.jpg",img);
    return 0;
}

You can use GaussianBlur to get a smooth black and white image.

How to add element in Python to the end of list using list.insert?

You'll have to pass the new ordinal position to insert using len in this case:

In [62]:

a=[1,2,3,4]
a.insert(len(a),5)
a
Out[62]:
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

How can one see the structure of a table in SQLite?

You can query sqlite_master

SELECT sql FROM sqlite_master WHERE name='foo';

which will return a create table SQL statement, for example:

$ sqlite3 mydb.sqlite
sqlite> create table foo (id int primary key, name varchar(10));
sqlite> select sql from sqlite_master where name='foo';
CREATE TABLE foo (id int primary key, name varchar(10))

sqlite> .schema foo
CREATE TABLE foo (id int primary key, name varchar(10));

sqlite> pragma table_info(foo)
0|id|int|0||1
1|name|varchar(10)|0||0

What is a user agent stylesheet?

Some browsers use their own way to read .css files. So the right way to beat this: If you type the command line directly in the .html source code, this beats the .css file, in that way, you told the browser directly what to do and the browser is at position not to read the commands from the .css file. Remember that the commands writen in the .html file is stronger than the command in the .css.

Ignoring new fields on JSON objects using Jackson

You can annotate the specific property in your POJO with @JsonIgnore.

SSL "Peer Not Authenticated" error with HttpClient 4.1

Im not a java developer but was using a java app to test a RESTful API. In order for me to fix the error I had to install the intermediate certificates in the webserver in order to make the error go away. I was using lighttpd, the original certificate was installed on an IIS server. Hope it helps. These were the certificates I had missing on the server.

  • CA.crt
  • UTNAddTrustServer_CA.crt
  • AddTrustExternalCARoot.crt

What is simplest way to read a file into String?

Don't write your own util class to do this - I would recommend using Guava, which is full of all kinds of goodness. In this case you'd want either the Files class (if you're really just reading a file) or CharStreams for more general purpose reading. It has methods to read the data into a list of strings (readLines) or totally (toString).

It has similar useful methods for binary data too. And then there's the rest of the library...

I agree it's annoying that there's nothing similar in the standard libraries. Heck, just being able to supply a CharSet to a FileReader would make life a little simpler...

XSS prevention in JSP/Servlet web application

XSS can be prevented in JSP by using JSTL <c:out> tag or fn:escapeXml() EL function when (re)displaying user-controlled input. This includes request parameters, headers, cookies, URL, body, etc. Anything which you extract from the request object. Also the user-controlled input from previous requests which is stored in a database needs to be escaped during redisplaying.

For example:

<p><c:out value="${bean.userControlledValue}"></p>
<p><input name="foo" value="${fn:escapeXml(param.foo)}"></p>

This will escape characters which may malform the rendered HTML such as <, >, ", ' and & into HTML/XML entities such as &lt;, &gt;, &quot;, &apos; and &amp;.

Note that you don't need to escape them in the Java (Servlet) code, since they are harmless over there. Some may opt to escape them during request processing (as you do in Servlet or Filter) instead of response processing (as you do in JSP), but this way you may risk that the data unnecessarily get double-escaped (e.g. & becomes &amp;amp; instead of &amp; and ultimately the enduser would see &amp; being presented), or that the DB-stored data becomes unportable (e.g. when exporting data to JSON, CSV, XLS, PDF, etc which doesn't require HTML-escaping at all). You'll also lose social control because you don't know anymore what the user has actually filled in. You'd as being a site admin really like to know which users/IPs are trying to perform XSS, so that you can easily track them and take actions accordingly. Escaping during request processing should only and only be used as latest resort when you really need to fix a train wreck of a badly developed legacy web application in the shortest time as possible. Still, you should ultimately rewrite your JSP files to become XSS-safe.

If you'd like to redisplay user-controlled input as HTML wherein you would like to allow only a specific subset of HTML tags like <b>, <i>, <u>, etc, then you need to sanitize the input by a whitelist. You can use a HTML parser like Jsoup for this. But, much better is to introduce a human friendly markup language such as Markdown (also used here on Stack Overflow). Then you can use a Markdown parser like CommonMark for this. It has also builtin HTML sanitizing capabilities. See also Markdown or HTML.

The only concern in the server side with regard to databases is SQL injection prevention. You need to make sure that you never string-concatenate user-controlled input straight in the SQL or JPQL query and that you're using parameterized queries all the way. In JDBC terms, this means that you should use PreparedStatement instead of Statement. In JPA terms, use Query.


An alternative would be to migrate from JSP/Servlet to Java EE's MVC framework JSF. It has builtin XSS (and CSRF!) prevention over all place. See also CSRF, XSS and SQL Injection attack prevention in JSF.

Put content in HttpResponseMessage object?

You can create your own specialised content types. For example one for Json content and one for Xml content (then just assign them to the HttpResponseMessage.Content):

public class JsonContent : StringContent
{
    public JsonContent(string content)
        : this(content, Encoding.UTF8)
    {
    }

    public JsonContent(string content, Encoding encoding)
        : base(content, encoding, "application/json")
    {
    }
}

public class XmlContent : StringContent
{
    public XmlContent(string content) 
        : this(content, Encoding.UTF8)
    {
    }

    public XmlContent(string content, Encoding encoding)
        : base(content, encoding, "application/xml")
    {
    }
}

How to write subquery inside the OUTER JOIN Statement

You need the "correlation id" (the "AS SS" thingy) on the sub-select to reference the fields in the "ON" condition. The id's assigned inside the sub select are not usable in the join.

SELECT
       cs.CUSID
       ,dp.DEPID
FROM
    CUSTMR cs
        LEFT OUTER JOIN (
            SELECT
                    DEPID
                    ,DEPNAME
                FROM
                    DEPRMNT 
                WHERE
                    dp.DEPADDRESS = 'TOKYO'
        ) ss
            ON (
                ss.DEPID = cs.CUSID
                AND ss.DEPNAME = cs.CUSTNAME
            )
WHERE
    cs.CUSID != '' 

Replace Line Breaks in a String C#

Best way to replace linebreaks safely is

yourString.Replace("\r\n","\n") //handling windows linebreaks
.Replace("\r","\n")             //handling mac linebreaks

that should produce a string with only \n (eg linefeed) as linebreaks. this code is usefull to fix mixed linebreaks too.

How to get date, month, year in jQuery UI datepicker?

what about that simple way)

$(document).ready ->
 $('#datepicker').datepicker( dateFormat: 'yy-mm-dd',  onSelect: (dateStr) ->
    alert dateStr # yy-mm-dd
    #OR
    alert $("#datepicker").val(); # yy-mm-dd

NSString with \n or line break

I just ran into the same issue when overloading -description for a subclass of NSObject. In this situation I was able to use carriage return (\r) instead of newline (\n) to create a line break.

[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@\r%@", mystring1,mystring2];

Remove a specific character using awk or sed

Using just awk you could do (I also shortened some of your piping):

strings -a libAddressDoctor5.so | awk '/EngineVersion/ { if(NR==2) { gsub("\"",""); print $2 } }'

I can't verify it for you because I don't know your exact input, but the following works:

echo "Blah EngineVersion=\"123\"" | awk '/EngineVersion/ { gsub("\"",""); print $2 }'

How to update single value inside specific array item in redux

You don't have to do everything in one line:

case 'SOME_ACTION':
  const newState = { ...state };
  newState.contents = 
    [
      newState.contents[0],
      {title: newState.contnets[1].title, text: action.payload}
    ];
  return newState

How do I make a textbox that only accepts numbers?

I've been working on a collection of components to complete missing stuff in WinForms, here it is: Advanced Forms

In particular this is the class for a Regex TextBox

/// <summary>Represents a Windows text box control that only allows input that matches a regular expression.</summary>
public class RegexTextBox : TextBox
{
    [NonSerialized]
    string lastText;

    /// <summary>A regular expression governing the input allowed in this text field.</summary>
    [Browsable(false), EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsableState.Never)]
    [DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Hidden)]
    public virtual Regex Regex { get; set; }

    /// <summary>A regular expression governing the input allowed in this text field.</summary>
    [DefaultValue(null)]
    [Category("Behavior")]
    [Description("Sets the regular expression governing the input allowed for this control.")]
    public virtual string RegexString {
        get {
            return Regex == null ? string.Empty : Regex.ToString();
        }
        set {
            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(value))
                Regex = null;
            else
                Regex = new Regex(value);
        }
    }

    protected override void OnTextChanged(EventArgs e) {
        if (Regex != null && !Regex.IsMatch(Text)) {
            int pos = SelectionStart - Text.Length + (lastText ?? string.Empty).Length;
            Text = lastText;
            SelectionStart = Math.Max(0, pos);
        }

        lastText = Text;

        base.OnTextChanged(e);
    }
}

Simply adding something like myNumbericTextBox.RegexString = "^(\\d+|)$"; should suffice.

What is a PDB file?

A PDB file contains information used by the debugger. It is not required to run your application and it does not need to be included in your released version.

You can disable pdb files from being created in Visual Studio. If you are building from the command line or a script then omit the /Debug switch.

compareTo() vs. equals()

When comparing for equality you should use equals(), because it expresses your intent in a clear way.

compareTo() has the additional drawback that it only works on objects that implement the Comparable interface.

This applies in general, not only for Strings.

CSS: How to position two elements on top of each other, without specifying a height?

Great answer, "mu is too short". I was seeking the exact same thing, and after reading your post I found a solution that fitted my problem.

I was having two elements of the exact same size and wanted to stack them. As each have same size, what I could do was to make

position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;

on only the last element. This way the first element is inserted correctly, "pushing" the parents height, and the second element is placed on top.

Hopes this helps other people trying to stacking 2+ elements with same (unknown) height.

How to make EditText not editable through XML in Android?

This combination worked for me:

<EditText ... >
    android:longClickable="false"
    android:cursorVisible="false"
    android:focusableInTouchMode="false"
</EditText>

How do I format a Microsoft JSON date?

This uses a regular expression, and it works as well:

var date = new Date(parseInt(/^\/Date\((.*?)\)\/$/.exec(jsonDate)[1], 10));

Python: Open file in zip without temporarily extracting it

In theory, yes, it's just a matter of plugging things in. Zipfile can give you a file-like object for a file in a zip archive, and image.load will accept a file-like object. So something like this should work:

import zipfile
archive = zipfile.ZipFile('images.zip', 'r')
imgfile = archive.open('img_01.png')
try:
    image = pygame.image.load(imgfile, 'img_01.png')
finally:
    imgfile.close()

Select All checkboxes using jQuery

Here is a simple way to do this :

Html :

<input type="checkbox" id="selectall" class="css-checkbox " name="selectall"/>Selectall<br>
<input type="checkbox" class="checkboxall" value="checkbox1"/>checkbox1<br>
<input type="checkbox" class="checkboxall" value="checkbox2"/>checkbox2<br>
<input type="checkbox" class="checkboxall" value="checkbox3"/>checkbox3<br>

jquery :

$(document).ready(function(){
$("#selectall").click(function(){
        if(this.checked){
            $('.checkboxall').each(function(){
                $(".checkboxall").prop('checked', true);
            })
        }else{
            $('.checkboxall').each(function(){
                $(".checkboxall").prop('checked', false);
            })
        }
    });
});

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

Would you be happy with your Python command running another program to get the info?

If so, I'd suggest you have a look at PsList and all its options. For example, The following would tell you about any running iTunes process

PsList itunes

If you can work out how to interpret the results, this should hopefully get you going.

Edit:

When I'm not running iTunes, I get the following:

pslist v1.29 - Sysinternals PsList
Copyright (C) 2000-2009 Mark Russinovich
Sysinternals

Process information for CLARESPC:

Name                Pid Pri Thd  Hnd   Priv        CPU Time    Elapsed Time
iTunesHelper       3784   8  10  229   3164     0:00:00.046     3:41:05.053

With itunes running, I get this one extra line:

iTunes              928   8  24  813 106168     0:00:08.734     0:02:08.672

However, the following command prints out info only about the iTunes program itself, i.e. with the -e argument:

pslist -e itunes

Best way to reverse a string

Handles all type of unicode characters

using System.Globalization;

    public static string ReverseString(this string content) {

        var textElementEnumerator = StringInfo.GetTextElementEnumerator(content);

        var SbBuilder = new StringBuilder(content.Length);

        while (textElementEnumerator.MoveNext()) {
            SbBuilder.Insert(0, textElementEnumerator.GetTextElement());
        }

        return SbBuilder.ToString();
    }

Fitting a histogram with python

Here is another solution using only matplotlib.pyplot and numpy packages. It works only for Gaussian fitting. It is based on maximum likelihood estimation and have already been mentioned in this topic. Here is the corresponding code :

# Python version : 2.7.9
from __future__ import division
import numpy as np
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

# For the explanation, I simulate the data :
N=1000
data = np.random.randn(N)
# But in reality, you would read data from file, for example with :
#data = np.loadtxt("data.txt")

# Empirical average and variance are computed
avg = np.mean(data)
var = np.var(data)
# From that, we know the shape of the fitted Gaussian.
pdf_x = np.linspace(np.min(data),np.max(data),100)
pdf_y = 1.0/np.sqrt(2*np.pi*var)*np.exp(-0.5*(pdf_x-avg)**2/var)

# Then we plot :
plt.figure()
plt.hist(data,30,normed=True)
plt.plot(pdf_x,pdf_y,'k--')
plt.legend(("Fit","Data"),"best")
plt.show()

and here is the output.

Passing $_POST values with cURL

Check out the cUrl PHP documentation page. It will help much more than just with example scripts.

Removing numbers from string

Not sure if your teacher allows you to use filters but...

filter(lambda x: x.isalpha(), "a1a2a3s3d4f5fg6h")

returns-

'aaasdffgh'

Much more efficient than looping...

Example:

for i in range(10):
  a.replace(str(i),'')

Wait until boolean value changes it state

This is not my prefered way to do this, cause of massive CPU consumption.

If that is actually your working code, then just keep it like that. Checking a boolean once a second causes NO measurable CPU load. None whatsoever.

The real problem is that the thread that checks the value may not see a change that has happened for an arbitrarily long time due to caching. To ensure that the value is always synchronized between threads, you need to put the volatile keyword in the variable definition, i.e.

private volatile boolean value;

Note that putting the access in a synchronized block, such as when using the notification-based solution described in other answers, will have the same effect.

catching stdout in realtime from subprocess

Your problem is:

for line in p.stdout:
    print(">>> " + str(line.rstrip()))
    p.stdout.flush()

the iterator itself has extra buffering.

Try doing like this:

while True:
  line = p.stdout.readline()
  if not line:
     break
  print line

Avoid "current URL string parser is deprecated" warning by setting useNewUrlParser to true

Here's how I have it. The hint didn't show on my console until I updated npm a couple of days prior.

.connect has three parameters, the URI, options, and err.

mongoose.connect(
    keys.getDbConnectionString(),
    { useNewUrlParser: true },
    err => {
        if (err) 
            throw err;
        console.log(`Successfully connected to database.`);
    }
);

Hashmap holding different data types as values for instance Integer, String and Object

You have some variables that are different types in Java language like that:

 message of type string
 timestamp of type time
 count of type integer
 version of type integer

If you use a HashMap like:

HashMap<String,Object> yourHash = new HashMap<String,Object>();
yourHash.put("message","message");
yourHash.put("timestamp",timestamp);
yourHash.put("count ",count);
yourHash.put("version ",version);

If you want to use the yourHash:

for(String key : yourHash.keySet()){
  String message = (String) yourHash.get(key);
  Datetime timestamp= (Datetime) yourHash.get(key);
  int timestamp= (int) yourHash.get(key);
}

Send File Attachment from Form Using phpMailer and PHP

This will work perfectly

    <form method='post' enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <input type='file' name='uploaded_file' id='uploaded_file' multiple='multiple' />
    <input type='submit' name='upload'/> 
    </form>

    <?php
           if(isset($_POST['upload']))
        {
             if (isset($_FILES['uploaded_file']) && $_FILES['uploaded_file']['error'] == UPLOAD_ERR_OK)
                {
                     if (array_key_exists('uploaded_file', $_FILES))
                        { 
                            $mail->Subject = "My Subject";
                            $mail->Body = 'This is the body';
                            $uploadfile = tempnam(sys_get_temp_dir(), sha1($_FILES['uploaded_file']['name']));
                        if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded_file']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile))
                             $mail->addAttachment($uploadfile,$_FILES['uploaded_file']['name']); 
                            $mail->send();
                            echo 'Message has been sent';
                        }       
                else
                    echo "The file is not uploaded. please try again.";
                }
                else
                    echo "The file is not uploaded. please try again";
        }
    ?>

"Series objects are mutable and cannot be hashed" error

Shortly: gene_name[x] is a mutable object so it cannot be hashed. To use an object as a key in a dictionary, python needs to use its hash value, and that's why you get an error.

Further explanation:

Mutable objects are objects which value can be changed. For example, list is a mutable object, since you can append to it. int is an immutable object, because you can't change it. When you do:

a = 5;
a = 3;

You don't change the value of a, you create a new object and make a point to its value.

Mutable objects cannot be hashed. See this answer.

To solve your problem, you should use immutable objects as keys in your dictionary. For example: tuple, string, int.

How do I find ' % ' with the LIKE operator in SQL Server?

I would use

WHERE columnName LIKE '%[%]%'

SQL Server stores string summary statistics for use in estimating the number of rows that will match a LIKE clause. The cardinality estimates can be better and lead to a more appropriate plan when the square bracket syntax is used.

The response to this Connect Item states

We do not have support for precise cardinality estimation in the presence of user defined escape characters. So we probably get a poor estimate and a poor plan. We'll consider addressing this issue in a future release.

An example

CREATE TABLE T
(
X VARCHAR(50),
Y CHAR(2000) NULL
)

CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX IX ON T(X)

INSERT INTO T (X)
SELECT TOP (5) '10% off'
FROM master..spt_values
UNION ALL
SELECT  TOP (100000)  'blah'
FROM master..spt_values v1,  master..spt_values v2


SET STATISTICS IO ON;
SELECT *
FROM T 
WHERE X LIKE '%[%]%'

SELECT *
FROM T
WHERE X LIKE '%\%%' ESCAPE '\'

Shows 457 logical reads for the first query and 33,335 for the second.

How to set the background image of a html 5 canvas to .png image

As shown in this example, you can apply a background to a canvas element through CSS and this background will not be considered part the image, e.g. when fetching the contents through toDataURL().

Here are the contents of the example, for Stack Overflow posterity:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html><head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>Canvas Background through CSS</title>
  <style type="text/css" media="screen">
    canvas, img { display:block; margin:1em auto; border:1px solid black; }
    canvas { background:url(lotsalasers.jpg) }
  </style>
</head><body>
<canvas width="800" height="300"></canvas>
<img>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
  var can = document.getElementsByTagName('canvas')[0];
  var ctx = can.getContext('2d');
  ctx.strokeStyle = '#f00';
  ctx.lineWidth   = 6;
  ctx.lineJoin    = 'round';
  ctx.strokeRect(140,60,40,40);
  var img = document.getElementsByTagName('img')[0];
  img.src = can.toDataURL();
</script>
</body></html>

jQuery - Getting form values for ajax POST

var data={
 userName: $('#userName').val(),
 email: $('#email').val(),
 //add other properties similarly
}

and

$.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: "http://rt.ja.com/includes/register.php?submit=1",
        data: data

        success: function(html)
        {   
            //alert(html);
            $('#userError').html(html);
            $("#userError").html(userChar);
            $("#userError").html(userTaken);
        }
    });

You dont have to bother about anything else. jquery will handle the serialization etc. also you can append the submit query string parameter submit=1 into the data json object.

scp with port number specified

You know what's cooler than -P? nothing

If you use this server more than a few times, setup/create a ~/.ssh/config file with an entry like:

Host www.myserver.com
    Port 80

or

Host myserver myserver80 short any.name.u.want yes_anything well-within-reason
    HostName www.myserver.com
    Port 80
    User username

Then you can use:

scp [email protected]:/root/file.txt .

or

scp short:/root/file.txt .

You can use anything on the "Host" line with ssh, scp, rsync, git & more

There are MANY configuration option that you can use in config files, see:

man ssh_config

How to normalize a NumPy array to within a certain range?

You are trying to min-max scale the values of audio between -1 and +1 and image between 0 and 255.

Using sklearn.preprocessing.minmax_scale, should easily solve your problem.

e.g.:

audio_scaled = minmax_scale(audio, feature_range=(-1,1))

and

shape = image.shape
image_scaled = minmax_scale(image.ravel(), feature_range=(0,255)).reshape(shape)

note: Not to be confused with the operation that scales the norm (length) of a vector to a certain value (usually 1), which is also commonly referred to as normalization.

Overlapping elements in CSS

You can use relative positioning to overlap your elements. However, the space they would normally occupy will still be reserved for the element:

<div style="background-color:#f00;width:200px;height:100px;">
    DEFAULT POSITIONED
</div>
<div style="background-color:#0f0;width:200px;height:100px;position:relative;top:-50px;left:50px;">
    RELATIVE POSITIONED
</div>
<div style="background-color:#00f;width:200px;height:100px;">
    DEFAULT POSITIONED
</div>

In the example above, there will be a block of white space between the two 'DEFAULT POSITIONED' elements. This is caused, because the 'RELATIVE POSITIONED' element still has it's space reserved.

If you use absolute positioning, your elements will not have any space reserved, so your element will actually overlap, without breaking your document:

<div style="background-color:#f00;width:200px;height:100px;">
    DEFAULT POSITIONED
</div>
<div style="background-color:#0f0;width:200px;height:100px;position:absolute;top:50px;left:50px;">
    ABSOLUTE POSITIONED
</div>
<div style="background-color:#00f;width:200px;height:100px;">
    DEFAULT POSITIONED
</div>

Finally, you can control which elements are on top of the others by using z-index:

<div style="z-index:10;background-color:#f00;width:200px;height:100px;">
    DEFAULT POSITIONED
</div>
<div style="z-index:5;background-color:#0f0;width:200px;height:100px;position:absolute;top:50px;left:50px;">
    ABSOLUTE POSITIONED
</div>
<div style="z-index:0;background-color:#00f;width:200px;height:100px;">
    DEFAULT POSITIONED
</div>

jQuery .slideRight effect

If you're willing to include the jQuery UI library, in addition to jQuery itself, then you can simply use hide(), with additional arguments, as follows:

$(document).ready(
    function(){
        $('#slider').click(
            function(){
                $(this).hide('slide',{direction:'right'},1000);

            });
    });

JS Fiddle demo.


Without using jQuery UI, you could achieve your aim just using animate():

$(document).ready(
    function(){
        $('#slider').click(
            function(){
                $(this)
                    .animate(
                        {
                            'margin-left':'1000px'
                            // to move it towards the right and, probably, off-screen.
                        },1000,
                        function(){
                            $(this).slideUp('fast');
                            // once it's finished moving to the right, just 
                            // removes the the element from the display, you could use
                            // `remove()` instead, or whatever.
                        }
                        );

            });
    });

If you do choose to use jQuery UI, then I'd recommend linking to the Google-hosted code, at: https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.6/jquery-ui.min.js

What exactly is OAuth (Open Authorization)?

OAuth is a protocol that is used from Resource Owner(facebook, google, tweeter, microsoft live and so on) to provide a needed information, or to provide a permission for write success to third party system(your site for example). Most likely without OAuth protocol the credentials should be available for the third part systems which will be inappropriate way of communication between those systems.

Create File If File Does Not Exist

Yes, you need to negate File.Exists(path) if you want to check if the file doesn't exist.

Should Jquery code go in header or footer?

Put Scripts at the Bottom

The problem caused by scripts is that they block parallel downloads. The HTTP/1.1 specification suggests that browsers download no more than two components in parallel per hostname. If you serve your images from multiple hostnames, you can get more than two downloads to occur in parallel. While a script is downloading, however, the browser won't start any other downloads, even on different hostnames. In some situations it's not easy to move scripts to the bottom. If, for example, the script uses document.write to insert part of the page's content, it can't be moved lower in the page. There might also be scoping issues. In many cases, there are ways to workaround these situations.

An alternative suggestion that often comes up is to use deferred scripts. The DEFER attribute indicates that the script does not contain document.write, and is a clue to browsers that they can continue rendering. Unfortunately, Firefox doesn't support the DEFER attribute. In Internet Explorer, the script may be deferred, but not as much as desired. If a script can be deferred, it can also be moved to the bottom of the page. That will make your web pages load faster.

EDIT: Firefox does support the DEFER attribute since version 3.6.

How do I convert dmesg timestamp to custom date format?

With the help of dr answer, I wrote a workaround that makes the conversion to put in your .bashrc. It won't break anything if you don't have any timestamp or already correct timestamps.

dmesg_with_human_timestamps () {
    $(type -P dmesg) "$@" | perl -w -e 'use strict;
        my ($uptime) = do { local @ARGV="/proc/uptime";<>}; ($uptime) = ($uptime =~ /^(\d+)\./);
        foreach my $line (<>) {
            printf( ($line=~/^\[\s*(\d+)\.\d+\](.+)/) ? ( "[%s]%s\n", scalar localtime(time - $uptime + $1), $2 ) : $line )
        }'
}
alias dmesg=dmesg_with_human_timestamps

Openssl : error "self signed certificate in certificate chain"

You have a certificate which is self-signed, so it's non-trusted by default, that's why OpenSSL complains. This warning is actually a good thing, because this scenario might also rise due to a man-in-the-middle attack.

To solve this, you'll need to install it as a trusted server. If it's signed by a non-trusted CA, you'll have to install that CA's certificate as well.

Have a look at this link about installing self-signed certificates.

CASE (Contains) rather than equal statement

Pseudo code, something like:

CASE
  When CHARINDEX('lactulose', dbo.Table.Column) > 0 Then 'BP Medication'
ELSE ''
END AS 'Medication Type'

This does not care where the keyword is found in the list and avoids depending on formatting of spaces and commas.

Open Windows Explorer and select a file

Check out this snippet:

Private Sub openDialog()
    Dim fd As Office.FileDialog

    Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)

   With fd

      .AllowMultiSelect = False

      ' Set the title of the dialog box.
      .Title = "Please select the file."

      ' Clear out the current filters, and add our own.
      .Filters.Clear
      .Filters.Add "Excel 2003", "*.xls"
      .Filters.Add "All Files", "*.*"

      ' Show the dialog box. If the .Show method returns True, the
      ' user picked at least one file. If the .Show method returns
      ' False, the user clicked Cancel.
      If .Show = True Then
        txtFileName = .SelectedItems(1) 'replace txtFileName with your textbox

      End If
   End With
End Sub

I think this is what you are asking for.

How to connect SQLite with Java?

If you are using Netbeans using Maven to add library is easier. I have tried using above solutions but it didn't work.

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.xerial</groupId>
      <artifactId>sqlite-jdbc</artifactId>
      <version>3.7.2</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

I have added Maven dependency and java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.sqlite.JDBC error gone.

java.sql.SQLException: No suitable driver found for jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver

I was having the same error, but had a proper connection string. My problem was that the driver was not being used, therefore was optimized out of the compiled war.

Be sure to import the driver:

import com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver;

And then to force it to be included in the final war, you can do something like this:

Class.forName("com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver");

That line is in the original question. This will also work:

SQLServerDriver driver = new SQLServerDriver();

How do you Programmatically Download a Webpage in Java

Well, you could go with the built-in libraries such as URL and URLConnection, but they don't give very much control.

Personally I'd go with the Apache HTTPClient library.
Edit: HTTPClient has been set to end of life by Apache. The replacement is: HTTP Components

java.net.BindException: Address already in use: JVM_Bind <null>:80

The error:

java.net.BindException: Address already in use: JVM_Bind :80

means that another application is listening on port 80.

You can check which process is using this port by lsof command, e.g. sudo lsof -i:80. Then stop or kill it.

If won't help finding application running on the same port, the common mistake is the Tomcat misconfiguration.

For example by default Tomcat listens on port 8005 for SHUTDOWN command and if you set another Connector to listen on the same port, you'll get port conflict.

So please double check in server.xml whether these ports are different:

<Server port="8005" shutdown="SHUTDOWN">
    <Connector port="8983" protocol="HTTP/1.1"

How to read file using NPOI

I find NPOI very usefull for working with Excel Files, here is my implementation (Comments are in Spanish, sorry for that):

This Method Opens an Excel (both xls or xlsx) file and converts it into a DataTable.

How to combine 2 plots (ggplot) into one plot?

Dummy data (you should supply this for us)

visual1 = data.frame(ISSUE_DATE=runif(100,2006,2008),COUNTED=runif(100,0,50))
visual2 = data.frame(ISSUE_DATE=runif(100,2006,2008),COUNTED=runif(100,0,50))

combine:

visuals = rbind(visual1,visual2)
visuals$vis=c(rep("visual1",100),rep("visual2",100)) # 100 points of each flavour

Now do:

 ggplot(visuals, aes(ISSUE_DATE,COUNTED,group=vis,col=vis)) + 
   geom_point() + geom_smooth()

and adjust colours etc to taste.

Android Open External Storage directory(sdcard) for storing file

I had been having the exact same problem!

To get the internal SD card you can use

String extStore = System.getenv("EXTERNAL_STORAGE");
File f_exts = new File(extStore);

To get the external SD card you can use

String secStore = System.getenv("SECONDARY_STORAGE");
File f_secs = new File(secStore);

On running the code

 extStore = "/storage/emulated/legacy"
 secStore = "/storage/extSdCarcd"

works perfectly!

Extracting the top 5 maximum values in excel

=VLOOKUP(LARGE(A1:A10,ROW()),A1:B10,2,0)

Type this formula in first row of your sheet then drag down till fifth row...

its a simple vlookup, which finds the large value in array (A1:A10), the ROW() function gives the row number (first row = 1, second row =2 and so on) and further is the lookup criteria.

Note: You can replace the ROW() to 1,2,3,4,5 as requried...if you have this formula in other than the 1st row, then make sure you subtract some numbers from the row() to get accurate results.

EDIT: TO check tie results

This is possible, you need to add a helper column to the sheet, here is the link. Do let me know in case things seems to be messy....

What's the difference between an Angular component and module

enter image description here

Simplest Explanation:

Module is like a big container containing one or many small containers called Component, Service, Pipe

A Component contains :

  • HTML template or HTML code

  • Code(TypeScript)

  • Service: It is a reusable code that is shared by the Components so that rewriting of code is not required

  • Pipe: It takes in data as input and transforms it to the desired output

how to redirect to external url from c# controller

Use the Controller's Redirect() method.

public ActionResult YourAction()
{
    // ...
    return Redirect("http://www.example.com");
}

Update

You can't directly perform a server side redirect from an ajax response. You could, however, return a JsonResult with the new url and perform the redirect with javascript.

public ActionResult YourAction()
{
    // ...
    return Json(new {url = "http://www.example.com"});
}

$.post("@Url.Action("YourAction")", function(data) {
    window.location = data.url;
});

Error message Strict standards: Non-static method should not be called statically in php

Your methods are missing the static keyword. Change

function getInstanceByName($name=''){

to

public static function getInstanceByName($name=''){

if you want to call them statically.

Note that static methods (and Singletons) are death to testability.

Also note that you are doing way too much work in the constructor, especially all that querying shouldn't be in there. All your constructor is supposed to do is set the object into a valid state. If you have to have data from outside the class to do that consider injecting it instead of pulling it. Also note that constructors cannot return anything. They will always return void so all these return false statements do nothing but end the construction.

How do I sum values in a column that match a given condition using pandas?

The essential idea here is to select the data you want to sum, and then sum them. This selection of data can be done in several different ways, a few of which are shown below.

Boolean indexing

Arguably the most common way to select the values is to use Boolean indexing.

With this method, you find out where column 'a' is equal to 1 and then sum the corresponding rows of column 'b'. You can use loc to handle the indexing of rows and columns:

>>> df.loc[df['a'] == 1, 'b'].sum()
15

The Boolean indexing can be extended to other columns. For example if df also contained a column 'c' and we wanted to sum the rows in 'b' where 'a' was 1 and 'c' was 2, we'd write:

df.loc[(df['a'] == 1) & (df['c'] == 2), 'b'].sum()

Query

Another way to select the data is to use query to filter the rows you're interested in, select column 'b' and then sum:

>>> df.query("a == 1")['b'].sum()
15

Again, the method can be extended to make more complicated selections of the data:

df.query("a == 1 and c == 2")['b'].sum()

Note this is a little more concise than the Boolean indexing approach.

Groupby

The alternative approach is to use groupby to split the DataFrame into parts according to the value in column 'a'. You can then sum each part and pull out the value that the 1s added up to:

>>> df.groupby('a')['b'].sum()[1]
15

This approach is likely to be slower than using Boolean indexing, but it is useful if you want check the sums for other values in column a:

>>> df.groupby('a')['b'].sum()
a
1    15
2     8

Pass props to parent component in React.js

It appears there's a simple answer. Consider this:

var Child = React.createClass({
  render: function() {
    <a onClick={this.props.onClick.bind(null, this)}>Click me</a>
  }
});

var Parent = React.createClass({
  onClick: function(component, event) {
    component.props // #=> {Object...}
  },
  render: function() {
    <Child onClick={this.onClick} />
  }
});

The key is calling bind(null, this) on the this.props.onClick event, passed from the parent. Now, the onClick function accepts arguments component, AND event. I think that's the best of all worlds.

UPDATE: 9/1/2015

This was a bad idea: letting child implementation details leak in to the parent was never a good path. See Sebastien Lorber's answer.

Java regex capturing groups indexes

For The Rest Of Us

Here is a simple and clear example of how this works

Regex: ([a-zA-Z0-9]+)([\s]+)([a-zA-Z ]+)([\s]+)([0-9]+)

String: "!* UserName10 John Smith 01123 *!"

group(0): UserName10 John Smith 01123
group(1): UserName10
group(2):  
group(3): John Smith
group(4):  
group(5): 01123

As you can see, I have created FIVE groups which are each enclosed in parentheses.

I included the !* and *! on either side to make it clearer. Note that none of those characters are in the RegEx and therefore will not be produced in the results. Group(0) merely gives you the entire matched string (all of my search criteria in one single line). Group 1 stops right before the first space because the space character was not included in the search criteria. Groups 2 and 4 are simply the white space, which in this case is literally a space character, but could also be a tab or a line feed etc. Group 3 includes the space because I put it in the search criteria ... etc.

Hope this makes sense.

What is VanillaJS?

There's no difference at all, VanillaJS is just a way to refer to native (non-extended and standards-based) JavaScript. Generally speaking it's a term of contrast when using libraries and frameworks like jQuery and React. Website www.vanilla-js.com lays emphasis on it as a joke, by talking 'bout VanillaJS as though it were a fast, lightweight, and cross-platform framework. That muddies the waters! Thus, it can be a little philosophical question: "how many things do I compile to Vanilla JavaScript without being VanillaJS themselves?" So, a mere guideline for that is: if you can write the code and run it in any current web-browser without additional tools or so called compile steps, it might be VanillaJS.

file path Windows format to java format

Java 7 and up supports the Path class (in java.nio package). You can use this class to convert a string-path to one that works for your current OS.

Using:

Paths.get("\\folder\\subfolder").toString()

on a Unix machine, will give you /folder/subfolder. Also works the other way around.

How do I get the current GPS location programmatically in Android?

Here is additional information for other answers.

Since Android has

GPS_PROVIDER and NETWORK_PROVIDER

you can register to both and start fetch events from onLocationChanged(Location location) from two at the same time. So far so good. Now the question do we need two results or we should take the best. As I know GPS_PROVIDER results have better accuracy than NETWORK_PROVIDER.

Let's define Location field:

private Location currentBestLocation = null;

Before we start listen on Location change we will implement the following method. This method returns the last known location, between the GPS and the network one. For this method newer is best.

/**
 * @return the last know best location
 */
private Location getLastBestLocation() {
    Location locationGPS = mLocationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
    Location locationNet = mLocationManager.getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);

    long GPSLocationTime = 0;
    if (null != locationGPS) { GPSLocationTime = locationGPS.getTime(); }

    long NetLocationTime = 0;

    if (null != locationNet) {
        NetLocationTime = locationNet.getTime();
    }

    if ( 0 < GPSLocationTime - NetLocationTime ) {
        return locationGPS;
    }
    else {
        return locationNet;
    }
}

Each time when we retrieve a new location we will compare it with our previous result.

...
static final int TWO_MINUTES = 1000 * 60 * 2;
...

I add a new method to onLocationChanged:

@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {

    makeUseOfNewLocation(location);

    if(currentBestLocation == null){
        currentBestLocation = location;
    }

    ....
}


/**
 * This method modify the last know good location according to the arguments.
 *
 * @param location The possible new location.
 */
void makeUseOfNewLocation(Location location) {
    if ( isBetterLocation(location, currentBestLocation) ) {
        currentBestLocation = location;
    }
}

....

/** Determines whether one location reading is better than the current location fix
 * @param location  The new location that you want to evaluate
 * @param currentBestLocation  The current location fix, to which you want to compare the new one.
 */
protected boolean isBetterLocation(Location location, Location currentBestLocation) {
    if (currentBestLocation == null) {
        // A new location is always better than no location
        return true;
    }

    // Check whether the new location fix is newer or older
    long timeDelta = location.getTime() - currentBestLocation.getTime();
    boolean isSignificantlyNewer = timeDelta > TWO_MINUTES;
    boolean isSignificantlyOlder = timeDelta < -TWO_MINUTES;
    boolean isNewer = timeDelta > 0;

    // If it's been more than two minutes since the current location, use the new location,
    // because the user has likely moved.
    if (isSignificantlyNewer) {
        return true;
        // If the new location is more than two minutes older, it must be worse.
    } else if (isSignificantlyOlder) {
        return false;
    }

    // Check whether the new location fix is more or less accurate
    int accuracyDelta = (int) (location.getAccuracy() - currentBestLocation.getAccuracy());
    boolean isLessAccurate = accuracyDelta > 0;
    boolean isMoreAccurate = accuracyDelta < 0;
    boolean isSignificantlyLessAccurate = accuracyDelta > 200;

    // Check if the old and new location are from the same provider
    boolean isFromSameProvider = isSameProvider(location.getProvider(),
                                                currentBestLocation.getProvider());

    // Determine location quality using a combination of timeliness and accuracy
    if (isMoreAccurate) {
        return true;
    } else if (isNewer && !isLessAccurate) {

        return true;
    }
    return false;
}

// Checks whether two providers are the same
private boolean isSameProvider(String provider1, String provider2) {
    if (provider1 == null) {
        return provider2 == null;
    }
    return provider1.equals(provider2);

Finding element in XDocument?

The Elements() method returns an IEnumerable<XElement> containing all child elements of the current node. For an XDocument, that collection only contains the Root element. Therefore the following is required:

Selenium -- How to wait until page is completely loaded

It seems that you need to wait for the page to be reloaded before clicking on the "Add" button. In this case you could wait for the "Add Item" element to become stale before clicking on the reloaded element:

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 20);
By addItem = By.xpath("//input[.='Add Item']");

// get the "Add Item" element
WebElement element = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(addItem));

//trigger the reaload of the page
driver.findElement(By.id("...")).click();

// wait the element "Add Item" to become stale
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.stalenessOf(element));

// click on "Add Item" once the page is reloaded
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfElementLocated(addItem)).click();

How can I match multiple occurrences with a regex in JavaScript similar to PHP's preg_match_all()?

Use window.URL:

> u = new URL(s)
> Array.from(u.searchParams.entries())
[["1111342", "Adam Franco"], ["348572", "Bob Jones"]]

HTML-Tooltip position relative to mouse pointer

For default tooltip behavior simply add the title attribute. This can't contain images though.

<div title="regular tooltip">Hover me</div>

Before you clarified the question I did this up in pure JavaScript, hope you find it useful. The image will pop up and follow the mouse.

jsFiddle

JavaScript

var tooltipSpan = document.getElementById('tooltip-span');

window.onmousemove = function (e) {
    var x = e.clientX,
        y = e.clientY;
    tooltipSpan.style.top = (y + 20) + 'px';
    tooltipSpan.style.left = (x + 20) + 'px';
};

CSS

.tooltip span {
    display:none;
}
.tooltip:hover span {
    display:block;
    position:fixed;
    overflow:hidden;
}

Extending for multiple elements

One solution for multiple elements is to update all tooltip span's and setting them under the cursor on mouse move.

jsFiddle

var tooltips = document.querySelectorAll('.tooltip span');

window.onmousemove = function (e) {
    var x = (e.clientX + 20) + 'px',
        y = (e.clientY + 20) + 'px';
    for (var i = 0; i < tooltips.length; i++) {
        tooltips[i].style.top = y;
        tooltips[i].style.left = x;
    }
};

How to check whether Kafka Server is running?

I found an event OnError in confluent Kafka:

consumer.OnError += Consumer_OnError;

 private void Consumer_OnError(object sender, Error e)
    {
        Debug.Log("connection error: "+ e.Reason);
        ConsumerConnectionError(e);
    }

And its documentation in code:

    //
    // Summary:
    //     Raised on critical errors, e.g. connection failures or all brokers down. Note
    //     that the client will try to automatically recover from errors - these errors
    //     should be seen as informational rather than catastrophic
    //
    // Remarks:
    //     Executes on the same thread as every other Consumer event handler (except OnLog
    //     which may be called from an arbitrary thread).
    public event EventHandler<Error> OnError;

hi object inherits its #methods from its #singleton_class.instance_methods and then from its #class.instance_methods.
Here we gave hi's singleton class instance method :a. It could have been done with class << hi instead.
hi's #singleton_class has all instance methods hi's #class has, and possibly some more (:a here).

[instance methods of thing's #class and #singleton_class can be applied directly to thing. when ruby sees thing.a, it first looks for :a method definition in thing.singleton_class.instance_methods and then in thing.class.instance_methods]


By the way - they call object's singleton class == metaclass == eigenclass.

ffmpeg usage to encode a video to H264 codec format

I believe that by now the above answers are outdated (or at least unclear) so here's my little go at it. I tried compiling ffmpeg with the option --enable-encoders=libx264 and it will give no error but it won't enable anything (I can't seem to find where I found that suggestion).

Anyways step-by-step, first you must compile libx264 yourself because repository version is outdated:

  wget ftp://ftp.videolan.org/pub/x264/snapshots/last_x264.tar.bz2
  tar --bzip2 -xvf last_x264.tar.bz2
  cd x264-snapshot-XXXXXXXX-XXXX/
  ./configure
  make
  sudo make install

And then get and compile ffmpeg with libx264 enabled. I'm using the latest release which is "Happiness":

wget http://ffmpeg.org/releases/ffmpeg-0.11.2.tar.bz2
tar --bzip2 -xvf ffmpeg-0.11.2.tar.bz2
cd ffmpeg-0.11.2/
./configure --enable-libx264 --enable-gpl
make
sudo install

Now finally you have the libx264 codec to encode, to check it you may run

ffmpeg -codecs | grep h264

and you'll see the options you have were the first D means decoding and the first E means encoding

Set specific precision of a BigDecimal

You can use setScale() e.g.

double d = ...
BigDecimal db = new BigDecimal(d).setScale(12, BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_UP);

proper hibernate annotation for byte[]

i fixed My issue by adding the annotation of @Lob which will create the byte[] in oracle as blob , but this annotation will create the field as oid which not work properly , To make byte[] created as bytea i made customer Dialect for postgres as below

Public class PostgreSQLDialectCustom extends PostgreSQL82Dialect {
    public PostgreSQLDialectCustom() {
        System.out.println("Init PostgreSQLDialectCustom");
        registerColumnType( Types.BLOB, "bytea" );

      }

    @Override
    public SqlTypeDescriptor remapSqlTypeDescriptor(SqlTypeDescriptor sqlTypeDescriptor) {
    if (sqlTypeDescriptor.getSqlType() == java.sql.Types.BLOB) {
      return BinaryTypeDescriptor.INSTANCE;
    }
    return super.remapSqlTypeDescriptor(sqlTypeDescriptor);
  }
 }

Also need to override parameter for the Dialect

spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.dialect=com.ntg.common.DBCompatibilityHelper.PostgreSQLDialectCustom

case statement in where clause - SQL Server

You don't need case in the where statement, just use parentheses and or:

Select * From Times
WHERE StartDate <= @Date AND EndDate >= @Date
AND (
    (@day = 'Monday' AND Monday = 1)
    OR (@day = 'Tuesday' AND Tuesday = 1)
    OR Wednesday = 1
)

Additionally, your syntax is wrong for a case. It doesn't append things to the string--it returns a single value. You'd want something like this, if you were actually going to use a case statement (which you shouldn't):

Select * From Times
WHERE (StartDate <= @Date) AND (EndDate >= @Date)
AND 1 = CASE WHEN @day = 'Monday' THEN Monday
             WHEN @day = 'Tuesday' THEN Tuesday
             ELSE Wednesday
        END 

And just for an extra umph, you can use the between operator for your date:

where @Date between StartDate and EndDate

Making your final query:

select
    * 
from 
    Times
where
    @Date between StartDate and EndDate
    and (
        (@day = 'Monday' and Monday = 1)
        or (@day = 'Tuesday' and Tuesday = 1)
        or Wednesday = 1
    )

Onclick function based on element id

you can try these:

document.getElementById("RootNode").onclick = function(){/*do something*/};

or

$('#RootNode').click(function(){/*do something*/});

or

$(document).on("click", "#RootNode", function(){/*do something*/});

There is a point for the first two method which is, it matters where in your page DOM, you should put them, the whole DOM should be loaded, to be able to find the, which is usually it gets solved if you wrap them in a window.onload or DOMReady event, like:

//in Vanilla JavaScript
window.addEventListener("load", function(){
     document.getElementById("RootNode").onclick = function(){/*do something*/};
});
//for jQuery
$(document).ready(function(){
    $('#RootNode').click(function(){/*do something*/});
});

Counting Number of Letters in a string variable

You can simply use

int numberOfLetters = yourWord.Length;

or to be cool and trendy, use LINQ like this :

int numberOfLetters = yourWord.ToCharArray().Count();

and if you hate both Properties and LINQ, you can go old school with a loop :

int numberOfLetters = 0;
foreach (char letter in yourWord)
{
    numberOfLetters++;
}

Reloading the page gives wrong GET request with AngularJS HTML5 mode

I believe your issue is with regards to the server. The angular documentation with regards to HTML5 mode (at the link in your question) states:

Server side Using this mode requires URL rewriting on server side, basically you have to rewrite all your links to entry point of your application (e.g. index.html)

I believe you'll need to setup a url rewrite from /about to /.

Unlocking tables if thread is lost

Here's what i do to FORCE UNLOCK FOR some locked tables in MySQL

1) Enter MySQL

mysql -u your_user -p

2) Let's see the list of locked tables

mysql> show open tables where in_use>0;

3) Let's see the list of the current processes, one of them is locking your table(s)

mysql> show processlist;

4) Let's kill one of these processes

mysql> kill put_process_id_here;

On delete cascade with doctrine2

Here is simple example. A contact has one to many associated phone numbers. When a contact is deleted, I want all its associated phone numbers to also be deleted, so I use ON DELETE CASCADE. The one-to-many/many-to-one relationship is implemented with by the foreign key in the phone_numbers.

CREATE TABLE contacts
 (contact_id BIGINT AUTO_INCREMENT NOT NULL,
 name VARCHAR(75) NOT NULL,
 PRIMARY KEY(contact_id)) ENGINE = InnoDB;

CREATE TABLE phone_numbers
 (phone_id BIGINT AUTO_INCREMENT NOT NULL,
  phone_number CHAR(10) NOT NULL,
 contact_id BIGINT NOT NULL,
 PRIMARY KEY(phone_id),
 UNIQUE(phone_number)) ENGINE = InnoDB;

ALTER TABLE phone_numbers ADD FOREIGN KEY (contact_id) REFERENCES \
contacts(contact_id) ) ON DELETE CASCADE;

By adding "ON DELETE CASCADE" to the foreign key constraint, phone_numbers will automatically be deleted when their associated contact is deleted.

INSERT INTO table contacts(name) VALUES('Robert Smith');
INSERT INTO table phone_numbers(phone_number, contact_id) VALUES('8963333333', 1);
INSERT INTO table phone_numbers(phone_number, contact_id) VALUES('8964444444', 1);

Now when a row in the contacts table is deleted, all its associated phone_numbers rows will automatically be deleted.

DELETE TABLE contacts as c WHERE c.id=1; /* delete cascades to phone_numbers */

To achieve the same thing in Doctrine, to get the same DB-level "ON DELETE CASCADE" behavoir, you configure the @JoinColumn with the onDelete="CASCADE" option.

<?php
namespace Entities;

use Doctrine\Common\Collections\ArrayCollection;

/**
 * @Entity
 * @Table(name="contacts")
 */
class Contact 
{

    /**
     *  @Id

    protected $id;  

    /**

    protected $phonenumbers; 

    public function __construct($name=null)
    {
        $this->phonenumbers = new ArrayCollection();

        if (!is_null($name)) {

            $this->name = $name;
        }
    }

    public function getId()
    {
        return $this->id;
    }

    public function setName($name)

        $this->name = $name;
    }

    public function addPhonenumber(Phonenumber $p)
    {
        if (!$this->phonenumbers->contains($p)) {

            $this->phonenumbers[] = $p;
            $p->setContact($this);
        }
    }

    public function removePhonenumber(Phonenumber $p)
    {
        $this->phonenumbers->remove($p);
    }
}

<?php
namespace Entities;

    protected $number;

    /** 
     * @ManyToOne(targetEntity="Contact", inversedBy="phonenumbers")
     * @JoinColumn(name="contact_id", referencedColumnName="contact_id", onDelete="CASCADE")
     */ 
    protected $contact; 

    public function __construct($number=null)
    {
        if (!is_null($number)) {

            $this->number = $number;
        }
    }

    public function setPhonenumber($number)
    {
        $this->number = $number;
    }

    public function setContact(Contact $c)
    {
        $this->contact = $c;
    }
} 
?>

<?php

$em = \Doctrine\ORM\EntityManager::create($connectionOptions, $config);

$contact = new Contact("John Doe"); 

$phone1 = new Phonenumber("8173333333");
$phone2 = new Phonenumber("8174444444");
$em->persist($phone1);
$em->persist($phone2);
$contact->addPhonenumber($phone1); 
$contact->addPhonenumber($phone2); 

$em->persist($contact);
try {

    $em->flush();
} catch(Exception $e) {

    $m = $e->getMessage();
    echo $m . "<br />\n";
}

If you now do

# doctrine orm:schema-tool:create --dump-sql

you will see that the same SQL will be generated as in the first, raw-SQL example

Set width of dropdown element in HTML select dropdown options

HTML:

<select class="shortenedSelect">
    <option value="0" disabled>Please select an item</option>
    <option value="1">Item text goes in here but it is way too long to fit inside a select option that has a fixed width adding more</option>
</select>

CSS:

.shortenedSelect {
    max-width: 350px;
}

Javascript:

// Shorten select option text if it stretches beyond max-width of select element
$.each($('.shortenedSelect option'), function(key, optionElement) {
    var curText = $(optionElement).text();
    $(this).attr('title', curText);

    // Tip: parseInt('350px', 10) removes the 'px' by forcing parseInt to use a base ten numbering system.
    var lengthToShortenTo = Math.round(parseInt($(this).parent('select').css('max-width'), 10) / 7.3);

    if (curText.length > lengthToShortenTo) {
        $(this).text('... ' + curText.substring((curText.length - lengthToShortenTo), curText.length));
    }
});

// Show full name in tooltip after choosing an option
$('.shortenedSelect').change(function() {
    $(this).attr('title', ($(this).find('option:eq('+$(this).get(0).selectedIndex +')').attr('title')));
});

Works perfectly. I had the same issue myself. Check out this JSFiddle http://jsfiddle.net/jNWS6/426/

Can I start the iPhone simulator without "Build and Run"?

Use Spotlight.

But only the last simulator will be opened. If you used iPad Air 2 last time, Spotlight will open it. If you wanna open iPhone 6s this time, that's a problem.

PostgreSQL Exception Handling

Just want to add my two cents on this old post:

In my opinion, almost all of relational database engines include a commit transaction execution automatically after execute a DDL command even when you have autocommit=false, So you don't need to start a transaction to avoid a potential truncated object creation because It is completely unnecessary.

Returning an array using C

You can do it using heap memory (through malloc() invocation) like other answers reported here, but you must always manage the memory (use free() function everytime you call your function). You can also do it with a static array:

char* returnArrayPointer() 
{
static char array[SIZE];

// do something in your array here

return array; 
}

You can than use it without worrying about memory management.

int main() 
{
char* myArray = returnArrayPointer();
/* use your array here */
/* don't worry to free memory here */
}

In this example you must use static keyword in array definition to set to application-long the array lifetime, so it will not destroyed after return statement. Of course, in this way you occupy SIZE bytes in your memory for the entire application life, so size it properly!

In Python, how do I split a string and keep the separators?

Here is a simple .split solution that works without regex.

This is an answer for Python split() without removing the delimiter, so not exactly what the original post asks but the other question was closed as a duplicate for this one.

def splitkeep(s, delimiter):
    split = s.split(delimiter)
    return [substr + delimiter for substr in split[:-1]] + [split[-1]]

Random tests:

import random

CHARS = [".", "a", "b", "c"]
assert splitkeep("", "X") == [""]  # 0 length test
for delimiter in ('.', '..'):
    for _ in range(100000):
        length = random.randint(1, 50)
        s = "".join(random.choice(CHARS) for _ in range(length))
        assert "".join(splitkeep(s, delimiter)) == s

How to convert list data into json in java

public static List<Product> getCartList() {

    JSONObject responseDetailsJson = new JSONObject();
    JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray();

    List<Product> cartList = new Vector<Product>(cartMap.keySet().size());
    for(Product p : cartMap.keySet()) {
        cartList.add(p);
        JSONObject formDetailsJson = new JSONObject();
        formDetailsJson.put("id", "1");
        formDetailsJson.put("name", "name1");
       jsonArray.add(formDetailsJson);
    }
    responseDetailsJson.put("forms", jsonArray);//Here you can see the data in json format

    return cartList;

}

you can get the data in the following form

{
    "forms": [
        { "id": "1", "name": "name1" },
        { "id": "2", "name": "name2" } 
    ]
}

How to downgrade Java from 9 to 8 on a MACOS. Eclipse is not running with Java 9

This will simply solve your problem.

Unloading classes in java?

If you're live watching if unloading class worked in JConsole or something, try also adding java.lang.System.gc() at the end of your class unloading logic. It explicitly triggers Garbage Collector.

what is the difference between const_iterator and iterator?

Performance wise there is no difference. The only purpose of having const_iterator over iterator is to manage the accessesibility of the container on which the respective iterator runs. You can understand it more clearly with an example:

std::vector<int> integers{ 3, 4, 56, 6, 778 };

If we were to read & write the members of a container we will use iterator:

for( std::vector<int>::iterator it = integers.begin() ; it != integers.end() ; ++it )
       {*it = 4;  std::cout << *it << std::endl; }

If we were to only read the members of the container integers you might wanna use const_iterator which doesn't allow to write or modify members of container.

for( std::vector<int>::const_iterator it = integers.begin() ; it != integers.end() ; ++it )
       { cout << *it << endl; }

NOTE: if you try to modify the content using *it in second case you will get an error because its read-only.

The communication object, System.ServiceModel.Channels.ServiceChannel, cannot be used for communication

we are using MSMQ in our system, this error message came. The reason was our queue was full and we did not handle the error logging mechanism properly so we were getting the above exception instead of msmq ful. We cleared the messages then it is working fine.

PHP multiline string with PHP

Another option would be to use the if with a colon and an endif instead of the brackets:

<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ): ?>
    <div class="gridly-image">
        <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">
        <?php the_post_thumbnail('summary-image', array('class' => 'overlay', 'title'=> the_title('Read Article ',' now',false) )); ?>
        </a>
    </div>
<?php endif; ?>

<div class="date">
    <span class="day"><?php the_time('d'); ?></span>
    <div class="holder">
        <span class="month"><?php the_time('M'); ?></span>
        <span class="year"><?php the_time('Y'); ?></span>
    </div>
</div>

Detecting arrow key presses in JavaScript

Re answers that you need keydown not keypress.

Assuming you want to move something continuously while the key is pressed, I find that keydown works for all browsers except Opera. For Opera, keydown only triggers on 1st press. To accommodate Opera use:

document.onkeydown = checkKey;
document.onkeypress = checkKey;
function checkKey(e)
{ etc etc

How to check all versions of python installed on osx and centos

Here is a cleaner way to show them (technically without symbolic links):

ls -1 /usr/bin/python* | grep '[2-3].[0-9]$'

Where grep filters the output of ls that that has that numeric pattern at the end ($).

Or using find:

find /usr/bin/python* ! -type l

Which shows all the different (!) of symbolic link type (-type l).

What is the difference between Digest and Basic Authentication?

Let us see the difference between the two HTTP authentication using Wireshark (Tool to analyse packets sent or received) .

1. Http Basic Authentication

Basic

As soon as the client types in the correct username:password,as requested by the Web-server, the Web-Server checks in the Database if the credentials are correct and gives the access to the resource .

Here is how the packets are sent and received :

enter image description here In the first packet the Client fill the credentials using the POST method at the resource - lab/webapp/basicauth .In return the server replies back with http response code 200 ok ,i.e, the username:password were correct .

Detail of HTTP packet

Now , In the Authorization header it shows that it is Basic Authorization followed by some random string .This String is the encoded (Base64) version of the credentials admin:aadd (including colon ) .

2 . Http Digest Authentication(rfc 2069)

So far we have seen that the Basic Authentication sends username:password in plaintext over the network .But the Digest Auth sends a HASH of the Password using Hash algorithm.

Here are packets showing the requests made by the client and response from the server .

Digest

As soon as the client types the credentials requested by the server , the Password is converted to a response using an algorithm and then is sent to the server , If the server Database has same response as given by the client the server gives the access to the resource , otherwise a 401 error .

Detailed digest auth packet In the above Authorization , the response string is calculated using the values of Username,Realm,Password,http-method,URI and Nonce as shown in the image :

Response algorithm (colons are included)

Hence , we can see that the Digest Authentication is more Secure as it involve Hashing (MD5 encryption) , So the packet sniffer tools cannot sniff the Password although in Basic Auth the exact Password was shown on Wireshark.

How do I undo a checkout in git?

You probably want git checkout master, or git checkout [branchname].

Getting the name of a variable as a string

I try to get name from inspect locals, but it cann't process var likes a[1], b.val. After it, I got a new idea --- get var name from the code, and I try it succ! code like below:

#direct get from called function code
def retrieve_name_ex(var):
    stacks = inspect.stack()
    try:
        func = stacks[0].function
        code = stacks[1].code_context[0]
        s = code.index(func)
        s = code.index("(", s + len(func)) + 1
        e = code.index(")", s)
        return code[s:e].strip()
    except:
        return ""

Sending SOAP request using Python Requests

It is indeed possible.

Here is an example calling the Weather SOAP Service using plain requests lib:

import requests
url="http://wsf.cdyne.com/WeatherWS/Weather.asmx?WSDL"
#headers = {'content-type': 'application/soap+xml'}
headers = {'content-type': 'text/xml'}
body = """<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
         <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:ns0="http://ws.cdyne.com/WeatherWS/" xmlns:ns1="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" 
            xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
            <SOAP-ENV:Header/>
              <ns1:Body><ns0:GetWeatherInformation/></ns1:Body>
         </SOAP-ENV:Envelope>"""

response = requests.post(url,data=body,headers=headers)
print response.content

Some notes:

  • The headers are important. Most SOAP requests will not work without the correct headers. application/soap+xml is probably the more correct header to use (but the weatherservice prefers text/xml
  • This will return the response as a string of xml - you would then need to parse that xml.
  • For simplicity I have included the request as plain text. But best practise would be to store this as a template, then you can load it using jinja2 (for example) - and also pass in variables.

For example:

from jinja2 import Environment, PackageLoader
env = Environment(loader=PackageLoader('myapp', 'templates'))
template = env.get_template('soaprequests/WeatherSericeRequest.xml')
body = template.render()

Some people have mentioned the suds library. Suds is probably the more correct way to be interacting with SOAP, but I often find that it panics a little when you have WDSLs that are badly formed (which, TBH, is more likely than not when you're dealing with an institution that still uses SOAP ;) ).

You can do the above with suds like so:

from suds.client import Client
url="http://wsf.cdyne.com/WeatherWS/Weather.asmx?WSDL"
client = Client(url)
print client ## shows the details of this service

result = client.service.GetWeatherInformation() 
print result 

Note: when using suds, you will almost always end up needing to use the doctor!

Finally, a little bonus for debugging SOAP; TCPdump is your friend. On Mac, you can run TCPdump like so:

sudo tcpdump -As 0 

This can be helpful for inspecting the requests that actually go over the wire.

The above two code snippets are also available as gists:

How to use XPath in Python?

libxml2 has a number of advantages:

  1. Compliance to the spec
  2. Active development and a community participation
  3. Speed. This is really a python wrapper around a C implementation.
  4. Ubiquity. The libxml2 library is pervasive and thus well tested.

Downsides include:

  1. Compliance to the spec. It's strict. Things like default namespace handling are easier in other libraries.
  2. Use of native code. This can be a pain depending on your how your application is distributed / deployed. RPMs are available that ease some of this pain.
  3. Manual resource handling. Note in the sample below the calls to freeDoc() and xpathFreeContext(). This is not very Pythonic.

If you are doing simple path selection, stick with ElementTree ( which is included in Python 2.5 ). If you need full spec compliance or raw speed and can cope with the distribution of native code, go with libxml2.

Sample of libxml2 XPath Use


import libxml2

doc = libxml2.parseFile("tst.xml")
ctxt = doc.xpathNewContext()
res = ctxt.xpathEval("//*")
if len(res) != 2:
    print "xpath query: wrong node set size"
    sys.exit(1)
if res[0].name != "doc" or res[1].name != "foo":
    print "xpath query: wrong node set value"
    sys.exit(1)
doc.freeDoc()
ctxt.xpathFreeContext()

Sample of ElementTree XPath Use


from elementtree.ElementTree import ElementTree
mydoc = ElementTree(file='tst.xml')
for e in mydoc.findall('/foo/bar'):
    print e.get('title').text

How can I show data using a modal when clicking a table row (using bootstrap)?

The best practice is to ajax load the order information when click tr tag, and render the information html in $('#orderDetails') like this:

  $.get('the_get_order_info_url', { order_id: the_id_var }, function(data){
    $('#orderDetails').html(data);
  }, 'script')

Alternatively, you can add class for each td that contains the order info, and use jQuery method $('.class').html(html_string) to insert specific order info into your #orderDetails BEFORE you show the modal, like:

  <% @restaurant.orders.each do |order| %>
  <!-- you should add more class and id attr to help control the DOM -->
  <tr id="order_<%= order.id %>" onclick="orderModal(<%= order.id  %>);">
    <td class="order_id"><%= order.id %></td>
    <td class="customer_id"><%= order.customer_id %></td>
    <td class="status"><%= order.status %></td>
  </tr>
  <% end %>

js:

function orderModal(order_id){
  var tr = $('#order_' + order_id);
  // get the current info in html table 
  var customer_id = tr.find('.customer_id');
  var status = tr.find('.status');

  // U should work on lines here:
  var info_to_insert = "order: " + order_id + ", customer: " + customer_id + " and status : " + status + ".";
  $('#orderDetails').html(info_to_insert);

  $('#orderModal').modal({
    keyboard: true,
    backdrop: "static"
  });
};

That's it. But I strongly recommend you to learn sth about ajax on Rails. It's pretty cool and efficient.

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'strftime'

you should change cr_date(str) to datetime object then you 'll change the date to the specific format:

cr_date = '2013-10-31 18:23:29.000227'
cr_date = datetime.datetime.strptime(cr_date, '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f')
cr_date = cr_date.strftime("%m/%d/%Y")

Angular 2 Sibling Component Communication

This is not what you exactly want but for sure will help you out

I'm surprised there's not more information out there about component communication <=> consider this tutorial by angualr2

For sibling components communication, I'd suggest to go with sharedService. There are also other options available though.

import {Component,bind} from 'angular2/core';
import {bootstrap} from 'angular2/platform/browser';
import {HTTP_PROVIDERS} from 'angular2/http';
import {NameService} from 'src/nameService';


import {TheContent} from 'src/content';
import {Navbar} from 'src/nav';


@Component({
  selector: 'app',
  directives: [TheContent,Navbar],
  providers: [NameService],
  template: '<navbar></navbar><thecontent></thecontent>'
})


export class App {
  constructor() {
    console.log('App started');
  }
}

bootstrap(App,[]);

Please refer to link at top for more code.

Edit: This is a very small demo. You have already mention that you have already tried with sharedService. So please consider this tutorial by angualr2 for more information.

Is there a way to run Python on Android?

One more option seems to be pyqtdeploy which citing the docs is:

a tool that, in conjunction with other tools provided with Qt, enables the deployment of PyQt4 and PyQt5 applications written with Python v2.7 or Python v3.3 or later. It supports deployment to desktop platforms (Linux, Windows and OS X) and to mobile platforms (iOS and Android).

According to Deploying PyQt5 application to Android via pyqtdeploy and Qt5 it is actively developed, although it is difficult to find examples of working Android apps or tutorial on how to cross-compile all the required libraries to Android. It is an interesting project to keep in mind though!

How to create custom exceptions in Java?

For a checked exception:

public class MyCustomException extends Exception { }

Technically, anything that extends Throwable can be an thrown, but exceptions are generally extensions of the Exception class so that they're checked exceptions (except RuntimeException or classes based on it, which are not checked), as opposed to the other common type of throwable, Errors which usually are not something designed to be gracefully handled beyond the JVM internals.

You can also make exceptions non-public, but then you can only use them in the package that defines them, as opposed to across packages.

As far as throwing/catching custom exceptions, it works just like the built-in ones - throw via

throw new MyCustomException()

and catch via

catch (MyCustomException e) { }

Disabling browser print options (headers, footers, margins) from page?

Any recent version of Chrome and Opera, as well as Firefox 48 alpha 1 and greater

You can set the page margin to a size that's too small to contain the text in order to disable this (borrowing from awe's answer):

_x000D_
_x000D_
@page {
  size: auto;  /* auto is the initial value */
  margin: 0mm; /* this affects the margin in the printer settings */
}
html {
  background-color: #FFFFFF;
  margin: 0px; /* this affects the margin on the HTML before sending to printer */
}
body {
  border: solid 1px blue;
  margin: 10mm 15mm 10mm 15mm; /* margin you want for the content */
}
_x000D_
<ol>
  <li>
    <a href="data:,No Javascript :-(" target="_blank">Middle-click to open in new tab</a>
  </li>
  <li>
    <a href="javascript:print()">Print</a>
  </li>
</ol><!-- Hack to work around stack snippet restrictions --><script type=application/javascript>document.links[0].href="data:text/html;charset=utf-8,"+encodeURIComponent('<!doctype html>'+document.documentElement.outerHTML)</script>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

For versions of Firefox up to 48 alpha 1

You can add a mozNoMarginBoxes attribute to the <html> tag to prevent the URL, page numbers and other things Firefox adds to the page margin from being printed.

It is working in Firefox 29 and onwards. You can see a screen shot of the difference here, or see here for a live example.

Note that the mozDisallowSelectionPrint attribute in the example is not required to remove the text from the margins; see What does the mozdisallowselectionprint attribute in PDF.js do?.

Other browsers

Unfortunately, there seems to be no way to resolve this problem in Internet Explorer, so you'll have to resort to PDF or ask users to disable margin texts.

The same goes for Safari; according to a comment by @Luiz Perez, the most recent versions of Safari (8, 9.1 and 10) still do not support @page for suppressing margin texts.

I can't find anything on Edge and I don't have a Windows 10 installation available to test.

Java: How to Indent XML Generated by Transformer

Neither of the suggested solutions worked for me. So I kept on searching for an alternative solution, which ended up being a mixture of the two before mentioned and a third step.

  1. set the indent-number into the transformerfactory
  2. enable the indent in the transformer
  3. wrap the otuputstream with a writer (or bufferedwriter)
//(1)
TransformerFactory tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
tf.setAttribute("indent-number", new Integer(2));

//(2)
Transformer t = tf.newTransformer();
t.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");

//(3)
t.transform(new DOMSource(doc),
new StreamResult(new OutputStreamWriter(out, "utf-8"));

You must do (3) to workaround a "buggy" behavior of the xml handling code.

React Native version mismatch

For me it was due to react-native version in dependency section of package.json file. It was:

"dependencies": {
"expo": "^27.0.1",
"react": "16.3.1",
"react-native": "~0.55.0"
}

I chaged it to:

"dependencies": {
"expo": "^27.0.1",
"react": "16.3.1",
"react-native": "0.52.0"
}

Now it works fine.

Converting an int to std::string

You can use this function to convert int to std::string after including <sstream>:

    return temp.str();
}

Convert String to double in Java

Using Double.parseDouble() without surrounding try/catch block can cause potential NumberFormatException had the input double string not conforming to a valid format.

Guava offers a utility method for this which returns null in case your String can't be parsed.

https://google.github.io/guava/releases/19.0/api/docs/com/google/common/primitives/Doubles.html#tryParse(java.lang.String)

Double valueDouble = Doubles.tryParse(aPotentiallyCorruptedDoubleString);

In runtime, a malformed String input yields null assigned to valueDouble

jQuery .load() call doesn't execute JavaScript in loaded HTML file

You've almost got it. Tell jquery you want to load only the script:

$("#myBtn").click(function() {
    $("#myDiv").load("trackingCode.html script");
});

addClass and removeClass in jQuery - not removing class

Use .on()

you need event delegation as these classes are not present on DOM when DOM is ready.

$(document).on("click", ".clickable", function () {
    $(this).addClass("grown");
    $(this).removeClass("spot");
});
$(document).on("click", ".close_button", function () {  
    $("#spot1").removeClass("grown");
    $("#spot1").addClass("spot");
});  

Formatting a double to two decimal places

Well, depending on your needs you can choose any of the following. Out put is written against each method

You can choose the one you need

This will round

decimal d = 2.5789m;
Console.WriteLine(d.ToString("#.##")); // 2.58

This will ensure that 2 decimal places are written.

d = 2.5m;
Console.WriteLine(d.ToString("F")); //2.50

if you want to write commas you can use this

d=23545789.5432m;
Console.WriteLine(d.ToString("n2")); //23,545,789.54

if you want to return the rounded of decimal value you can do this

d = 2.578m;
d = decimal.Round(d, 2, MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero); //2.58

Response::json() - Laravel 5.1

However, the previous answer could still be confusing for some programmers. Most especially beginners who are most probably using an older book or tutorial. Or perhaps you still feel the facade is needed. Sure you can use it. Me for one I still love to use the facade, this is because some times while building my api I forget to use the '\' before the Response.

if you are like me, simply add

   "use Response;"

above your class ...extends contoller. this should do.

with this you can now use:

$response = Response::json($posts, 200);

instead of:

$response = \Response::json($posts, 200);

Regex match text between tags

    return v.textContent || v.innerText || "";
});

//["Bob", "20", "programming"]

Setting unique Constraint with fluent API?

Here is an extension method for setting unique indexes more fluently:

public static class MappingExtensions
{
    public static PrimitivePropertyConfiguration IsUnique(this PrimitivePropertyConfiguration configuration)
    {
        return configuration.HasColumnAnnotation("Index", new IndexAnnotation(new IndexAttribute { IsUnique = true }));
    }
}

Usage:

modelBuilder 
    .Entity<Person>() 
    .Property(t => t.Name)
    .IsUnique();

Will generate migration such as:

public partial class Add_unique_index : DbMigration
{
    public override void Up()
    {
        CreateIndex("dbo.Person", "Name", unique: true);
    }

    public override void Down()
    {
        DropIndex("dbo.Person", new[] { "Name" });
    }
}

Printing object properties in Powershell

My solution to this problem was to use the $() sub-expression block.

Add-Type -Language CSharp @"
public class Thing{
    public string Name;
}
"@;

$x = New-Object Thing

$x.Name = "Bill"

Write-Output "My name is $($x.Name)"
Write-Output "This won't work right: $x.Name"

Gives:

My name is Bill
This won't work right: Thing.Name

Javascript: formatting a rounded number to N decimals

I think that there is a more simple approach to all given here, and is the method Number.toFixed() already implemented in JavaScript.

simply write:

var myNumber = 2;

myNumber.toFixed(2); //returns "2.00"
myNumber.toFixed(1); //returns "2.0"

etc...

Cannot run the macro... the macro may not be available in this workbook

You also run into this issue when you are creating routine in a class module.

When you try to run the code externally, you get this error.
You can't assign macro to button to a member of a class module either.

If you try to run from within the code by pressing green play button you will also see the same error.

Either move the routine in to a regular module or create a new routine in a regular module that calls the class member.

Downloading a picture via urllib and python

A simpler solution may be(python 3):

import urllib.request
import os
os.chdir("D:\\comic") #your path
i=1;
s="00000000"
while i<1000:
    try:
        urllib.request.urlretrieve("http://www.gunnerkrigg.com//comics/"+ s[:8-len(str(i))]+ str(i)+".jpg",str(i)+".jpg")
    except:
        print("not possible" + str(i))
    i+=1;

How do I parse a URL query parameters, in Javascript?

You could get a JavaScript object containing the parameters with something like this:

var regex = /[?&]([^=#]+)=([^&#]*)/g,
    url = window.location.href,
    params = {},
    match;
while(match = regex.exec(url)) {
    params[match[1]] = match[2];
}

The regular expression could quite likely be improved. It simply looks for name-value pairs, separated by = characters, and pairs themselves separated by & characters (or an = character for the first one). For your example, the above would result in:

{v: "123", p: "hello"}

Here's a working example.

Fastest way to convert a dict's keys & values from `unicode` to `str`?

DATA = { u'spam': u'eggs', u'foo': frozenset([u'Gah!']), u'bar': { u'baz': 97 },
         u'list': [u'list', (True, u'Maybe'), set([u'and', u'a', u'set', 1])]}

def convert(data):
    if isinstance(data, basestring):
        return str(data)
    elif isinstance(data, collections.Mapping):
        return dict(map(convert, data.iteritems()))
    elif isinstance(data, collections.Iterable):
        return type(data)(map(convert, data))
    else:
        return data

print DATA
print convert(DATA)
# Prints:
# {u'list': [u'list', (True, u'Maybe'), set([u'and', u'a', u'set', 1])], u'foo': frozenset([u'Gah!']), u'bar': {u'baz': 97}, u'spam': u'eggs'}
# {'bar': {'baz': 97}, 'foo': frozenset(['Gah!']), 'list': ['list', (True, 'Maybe'), set(['and', 'a', 'set', 1])], 'spam': 'eggs'}

Assumptions:

  • You've imported the collections module and can make use of the abstract base classes it provides
  • You're happy to convert using the default encoding (use data.encode('utf-8') rather than str(data) if you need an explicit encoding).

If you need to support other container types, hopefully it's obvious how to follow the pattern and add cases for them.

Get all files and directories in specific path fast

I know this is old, but... Another option may be to use the FileSystemWatcher like so:

void SomeMethod()
{
    System.IO.FileSystemWatcher m_Watcher = new System.IO.FileSystemWatcher();
    m_Watcher.Path = path;
    m_Watcher.Filter = "*.*";
    m_Watcher.NotifyFilter = m_Watcher.NotifyFilter = NotifyFilters.LastAccess | NotifyFilters.LastWrite | NotifyFilters.FileName | NotifyFilters.DirectoryName;
    m_Watcher.Created += new FileSystemEventHandler(OnChanged);
    m_Watcher.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
}

private void OnChanged(object sender, FileSystemEventArgs e)
    {
        string path = e.FullPath;

        lock (listLock)
        {
            pathsToUpload.Add(path);
        }
    }

This would allow you to watch the directories for file changes with an extremely lightweight process, that you could then use to store the names of the files that changed so that you could back them up at the appropriate time.

Assign null to a SqlParameter

Try this:

if (AgeItem.AgeIndex != null)
{
   SqlParameter[] parameters = new SqlParameter[1];
   SqlParameter planIndexParameter = new SqlParameter("@AgeIndex", SqlDbType.Int);
   planIndexParameter.Value = AgeItem.AgeIndex;
   parameters[0] = planIndexParameter;
}

In other words, if the parameter is null just don't send it to your stored proc (assuming, of course, that the stored proc accepts null parameters which is implicit in your question).

The use of -X [WHATEVER] merely changes the request's method string used in the HTTP request. This is easier to understand with two examples — one with -X [WHATEVER] and one without — and the associated HTTP request headers for each:

# curl -XPANTS -o nul -v http://neverssl.com/
* Connected to neverssl.com (13.224.86.126) port 80 (#0)
> PANTS / HTTP/1.1
> Host: neverssl.com
> User-Agent: curl/7.42.0
> Accept: */*

# curl -o nul -v http://neverssl.com/
* Connected to neverssl.com (13.33.50.167) port 80 (#0)
> GET / HTTP/1.1
> Host: neverssl.com
> User-Agent: curl/7.42.0
> Accept: */*

Angular: How to download a file from HttpClient?

After spending much time searching for a response to this answer: how to download a simple image from my API restful server written in Node.js into an Angular component app, I finally found a beautiful answer in this web Angular HttpClient Blob. Essentially it consist on:

API Node.js restful:

   /* After routing the path you want ..*/
  public getImage( req: Request, res: Response) {

    // Check if file exist...
    if (!req.params.file) {
      return res.status(httpStatus.badRequest).json({
        ok: false,
        msg: 'File param not found.'
      })
    }
    const absfile = path.join(STORE_ROOT_DIR,IMAGES_DIR, req.params.file);

    if (!fs.existsSync(absfile)) {
      return res.status(httpStatus.badRequest).json({
        ok: false,
        msg: 'File name not found on server.'
      })
    }
    res.sendFile(path.resolve(absfile));
  }

Angular 6 tested component service (EmployeeService on my case):

  downloadPhoto( name: string) : Observable<Blob> {
    const url = environment.api_url + '/storer/employee/image/' + name;

    return this.http.get(url, { responseType: 'blob' })
      .pipe(
        takeWhile( () => this.alive),
        filter ( image => !!image));
  }

Template

 <img [src]="" class="custom-photo" #photo>

Component subscriber and use:

@ViewChild('photo') image: ElementRef;

public LoadPhoto( name: string) {
    this._employeeService.downloadPhoto(name)
          .subscribe( image => {
            const url= window.URL.createObjectURL(image);
            this.image.nativeElement.src= url;
          }, error => {
            console.log('error downloading: ', error);
          })    
}

How to develop or migrate apps for iPhone 5 screen resolution?

If you have an app built for iPhone 4S or earlier, it'll run letterboxed on iPhone 5.

To adapt your app to the new taller screen, the first thing you do is to change the launch image to: [email protected]. Its size should be 1136x640 (HxW). Yep, having the default image in the new screen size is the key to let your app take the whole of new iPhone 5's screen.

(Note that the naming convention works only for the default image. Naming another image "[email protected]" will not cause it to be loaded in place of "[email protected]". If you need to load different images for different screen sizes, you'll have to do it programmatically.)

If you're very very lucky, that might be it... but in all likelihood, you'll have to take a few more steps.

  • Make sure, your Xibs/Views use auto-layout to resize themselves.
  • Use springs and struts to resize views.
  • If this is not good enough for your app, design your xib/storyboard for one specific screen size and reposition programmatically for the other.

In the extreme case (when none of the above suffices), design the two Xibs and load the appropriate one in the view controller.

To detect screen size:

if(UI_USER_INTERFACE_IDIOM() == UIUserInterfaceIdiomPhone)
{
    CGSize result = [[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size;
    if(result.height == 480)
    {
        // iPhone Classic
    }
    if(result.height == 568)
    {
        // iPhone 5
    }
}

Add 2 hours to current time in MySQL?

The DATE_ADD() function will do the trick. (You can also use the ADDTIME() function if you're running at least v4.1.1.)

For your query, this would be:

SELECT * 
FROM courses 
WHERE DATE_ADD(now(), INTERVAL 2 HOUR) > start_time

Or,

SELECT * 
FROM courses 
WHERE ADDTIME(now(), '02:00:00') > start_time

Is it possible to run .php files on my local computer?

Sure you just need to setup a local web server. Check out XAMPP: http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html

That will get you up and running in about 10 minutes.

There is now a way to run php locally without installing a server: https://stackoverflow.com/a/21872484/672229


Yes but the files need to be processed. For example you can install test servers like mamp / lamp / wamp depending on your plateform.

Basically you need apache / php running.

Java Comparator class to sort arrays

[...] How should Java Comparator class be declared to sort the arrays by their first elements in decreasing order [...]

Here's a complete example using Java 8:

import java.util.*;

public class Test {

    public static void main(String args[]) {

        int[][] twoDim = { {1, 2}, {3, 7}, {8, 9}, {4, 2}, {5, 3} };

        Arrays.sort(twoDim, Comparator.comparingInt(a -> a[0])
                                      .reversed());

        System.out.println(Arrays.deepToString(twoDim));
    }
}

Output:

[[8, 9], [5, 3], [4, 2], [3, 7], [1, 2]]

For Java 7 you can do:

Arrays.sort(twoDim, new Comparator<int[]>() {
    @Override
    public int compare(int[] o1, int[] o2) {
        return Integer.compare(o2[0], o1[0]);
    }
});

If you unfortunate enough to work on Java 6 or older, you'd do:

Arrays.sort(twoDim, new Comparator<int[]>() {
    @Override
    public int compare(int[] o1, int[] o2) {
        return ((Integer) o2[0]).compareTo(o1[0]);
    }
});

What use is find_package() if you need to specify CMAKE_MODULE_PATH anyway?

You don't need to specify the module path per se. CMake ships with its own set of built-in find_package scripts, and their location is in the default CMAKE_MODULE_PATH.

The more normal use case for dependent projects that have been CMakeified would be to use CMake's external_project command and then include the Use[Project].cmake file from the subproject. If you just need the Find[Project].cmake script, copy it out of the subproject and into your own project's source code, and then you won't need to augment the CMAKE_MODULE_PATH in order to find the subproject at the system level.

Java: unparseable date exception

From Oracle docs, Date.toString() method convert Date object to a String of the specific form - do not use toString method on Date object. Try to use:

String stringDate = new SimpleDateFormat(YOUR_STRING_PATTERN).format(yourDateObject);

Next step is parse stringDate to Date:

Date date = new SimpleDateFormat(OUTPUT_PATTERN).parse(stringDate);

Note that, parse method throws ParseException

How to convert CharSequence to String?

By invoking its toString() method.

Returns a string containing the characters in this sequence in the same order as this sequence. The length of the string will be the length of this sequence.

How to add column if not exists on PostgreSQL?

With Postgres 9.6 this can be done using the option if not exists

ALTER TABLE table_name ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS column_name INTEGER;

jQuery.inArray(), how to use it right?

$.inArray returns the index of the element if found or -1 if it isn't -- not a boolean value. So the correct is

if(jQuery.inArray("test", myarray) != -1) {
    console.log("is in array");
} else {
    console.log("is NOT in array");
} 

How to change the type of a field?

Starting Mongo 4.2, db.collection.update() can accept an aggregation pipeline, finally allowing the update of a field based on its own value:

// { a: "45", b: "x" }
// { a:  53,  b: "y" }
db.collection.update(
  { a : { $type: 1 } },
  [{ $set: { a: { $toString: "$a" } } }],
  { multi: true }
)
// { a: "45", b: "x" }
// { a: "53", b: "y" }
  • The first part { a : { $type: 1 } } is the match query:

    • It filters which documents to update.
    • In this case, since we want to convert "a" to string when its value is a double, this matches elements for which "a" is of type 1 (double)).
    • This table provides the codes representing the different possible types.
  • The second part [{ $set: { a: { $toString: "$a" } } }] is the update aggregation pipeline:

    • Note the squared brackets signifying that this update query uses an aggregation pipeline.
    • $set is a new aggregation operator (Mongo 4.2) which in this case modifies a field.
    • This can be simply read as "$set" the value of "a" to "$a" converted "$toString".
    • What's really new here, is being able in Mongo 4.2 to reference the document itself when updating it: the new value for "a" is based on the existing value of "$a".
    • Also note "$toString" which is a new aggregation operator introduced in Mongo 4.0.
  • Don't forget { multi: true }, otherwise only the first matching document will be updated.


In case your cast isn't from double to string, you have the choice between different conversion operators introduced in Mongo 4.0 such as $toBool, $toInt, ...

And if there isn't a dedicated converter for your targeted type, you can replace { $toString: "$a" } with a $convert operation: { $convert: { input: "$a", to: 2 } } where the value for to can be found in this table:

db.collection.update(
  { a : { $type: 1 } },
  [{ $set: { a: { $convert: { input: "$a", to: 2 } } } }],
  { multi: true }
)

How do I get logs/details of ansible-playbook module executions?

If you pass the -v flag to ansible-playbook on the command line, you'll see the stdout and stderr for each task executed:

$ ansible-playbook -v playbook.yaml

Ansible also has built-in support for logging. Add the following lines to your ansible configuration file:

[defaults] 
log_path=/path/to/logfile

Ansible will look in several places for the config file:

  • ansible.cfg in the current directory where you ran ansible-playbook
  • ~/.ansible.cfg
  • /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg

Output data with no column headings using PowerShell

The -expandproperty does not work with more than 1 object. You can use this one :

Select-Object Name | ForEach-Object {$_.Name}

If there is more than one value then :

Select-Object Name, Country | ForEach-Object {$_.Name + " " + $Country}

Using Google Text-To-Speech in Javascript

How to ORDER BY a SUM() in MySQL?

The problem I see here is that "sum" is an aggregate function.

first, you need to fix the query itself.

Select sum(c_counts + f_counts) total, [column to group sums by]
from table
group by [column to group sums by]

then, you can sort it:

Select *
from (query above) a
order by total

EDIT: But see post by Virat. Perhaps what you want is not the sum of your total fields over a group, but just the sum of those fields for each record. In that case, Virat has the right solution.

How do you convert CString and std::string std::wstring to each other?

If you want something more C++-like, this is what I use. Although it depends on Boost, that's just for exceptions. You can easily remove those leaving it to depend only on the STL and the WideCharToMultiByte() Win32 API call.

#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <cassert>
#include <exception>

#include <boost/system/system_error.hpp>
#include <boost/integer_traits.hpp>

/**
 * Convert a Windows wide string to a UTF-8 (multi-byte) string.
 */
std::string WideStringToUtf8String(const std::wstring& wide)
{
    if (wide.size() > boost::integer_traits<int>::const_max)
        throw std::length_error(
            "Wide string cannot be more than INT_MAX characters long.");
    if (wide.size() == 0)
        return "";

    // Calculate necessary buffer size
    int len = ::WideCharToMultiByte(
        CP_UTF8, 0, wide.c_str(), static_cast<int>(wide.size()), 
        NULL, 0, NULL, NULL);

    // Perform actual conversion
    if (len > 0)
    {
        std::vector<char> buffer(len);
        len = ::WideCharToMultiByte(
            CP_UTF8, 0, wide.c_str(), static_cast<int>(wide.size()),
            &buffer[0], static_cast<int>(buffer.size()), NULL, NULL);
        if (len > 0)
        {
            assert(len == static_cast<int>(buffer.size()));
            return std::string(&buffer[0], buffer.size());
        }
    }

    throw boost::system::system_error(
        ::GetLastError(), boost::system::system_category);

How to use UIScrollView in Storyboard

Disclaimer :- Only for ios 9 and above (Stack View).

If you are deploying your app on ios 9 devices use a stack view. Here are the steps :-

  1. Add a scroll view with constraints - pin to left, right, bottom, top (without margins) to superview (view)
  2. Add a stack view with same constraints to scroll view.
  3. Stack View Other Constraints :- stackView.bottom = view.bottom and stackView.width = scrollView.width
  4. Start adding your views. The scroll view will decide to scroll based on the size of the stack view (which is essentially your content view)

"Parser Error Message: Could not load type" in Global.asax

Yes, I read all the answers. However, if you are me and have been pulling out all of what's left of your hair, then try checking the \bin folder. Like most proj files might have several configurations grouped under the XML element PropertyGroup, then I changed the OutputPath value from 'bin\Debug' to remove the '\Debug' part and Rebuild. This placed the files in the \bin folder allowing the Express IIS to find and load the build. I am left wondering what is the correct way to manage these different builds so that a local debug deploy is able to find and load the target environment.

When should I use double or single quotes in JavaScript?

Strictly speaking, there is no difference in meaning; so the choice comes down to convenience.

Here are several factors that could influence your choice:

  • House style: Some groups of developers already use one convention or the other.
  • Client-side requirements: Will you be using quotes within the strings? (See Ady's answer.)
  • Server-side language: VB.NET people might choose to use single quotes for JavaScript so that the scripts can be built server-side (VB.NET uses double-quotes for strings, so the JavaScript strings are easy to distinguished if they use single quotes).
  • Library code: If you're using a library that uses a particular style, you might consider using the same style yourself.
  • Personal preference: You might think one or other style looks better.

How can I remove a character from a string using JavaScript?

Your first func is almost right. Just remove the 'g' flag which stands for 'global' (edit) and give it some context to spot the second 'r'.

Edit: didn't see it was the second 'r' before so added the '/'. Needs \/ to escape the '/' when using a regEx arg. Thanks for the upvotes but I was wrong so I'll fix and add more detail for people interested in understanding the basics of regEx better but this would work:

mystring.replace(/\/r/, '/')

Now for the excessive explanation:

When reading/writing a regEx pattern think in terms of: <a character or set of charcters> followed by <a character or set of charcters> followed by <...

In regEx <a character or set of charcters> could be one at a time:

/each char in this pattern/

So read as e, followed by a, followed by c, etc...

Or a single <a character or set of charcters> could be characters described by a character class:

/[123!y]/
//any one of these
/[^123!y]/
//anything but one of the chars following '^' (very useful/performance enhancing btw)

Or expanded on to match a quantity of characters (but still best to think of as a single element in terms of the sequential pattern):

/a{2}/
//precisely two 'a' chars - matches identically as /aa/ would

/[aA]{1,3}/
//1-3 matches of 'a' or 'A'

/[a-zA-Z]+/
//one or more matches of any letter in the alphabet upper and lower
//'-' denotes a sequence in a character class

/[0-9]*/
//0 to any number of matches of any decimal character (/\d*/ would also work)

So smoosh a bunch together:

   var rePattern = /[aA]{4,8}(Eat at Joes|Joes all you can eat)[0-5]+/g
   var joesStr = 'aaaAAAaaEat at Joes123454321 or maybe aAaAJoes all you can   eat098765';

   joesStr.match(rePattern);

   //returns ["aaaAAAaaEat at Joes123454321", "aAaAJoes all you can eat0"]
   //without the 'g' after the closing '/' it would just stop at the first   match and return:
   //["aaaAAAaaEat at Joes123454321"]

And of course I've over-elaborated but my point was simply that this:

/cat/

is a series of 3 pattern elements (a thing followed by a thing followed by a thing).

And so is this:

/[aA]{4,8}(Eat at Joes|Joes all you can eat)[0-5]+/

As wacky as regEx starts to look, it all breaks down to series of things (potentially multi-character things) following each other sequentially. Kind of a basic point but one that took me a while to get past so I've gone overboard explaining it here as I think it's one that would help the OP and others new to regEx understand what's going on. The key to reading/writing regEx is breaking it down into those pieces.

Passing Multiple route params in Angular2

Two Methods for Passing Multiple route params in Angular

Method-1

In app.module.ts

Set path as component2.

imports: [
 RouterModule.forRoot(
 [ {path: 'component2/:id1/:id2', component: MyComp2}])
]

Call router to naviagte to MyComp2 with multiple params id1 and id2.

export class MyComp1 {
onClick(){
    this._router.navigate( ['component2', "id1","id2"]);
 }
}

Method-2

In app.module.ts

Set path as component2.

imports: [
 RouterModule.forRoot(
 [ {path: 'component2', component: MyComp2}])
]

Call router to naviagte to MyComp2 with multiple params id1 and id2.

export class MyComp1 {
onClick(){
    this._router.navigate( ['component2', {id1: "id1 Value", id2: 
    "id2  Value"}]);
 }
}

How to drop a list of rows from Pandas dataframe?

I solved this in a simpler way - just in 2 steps.

  1. Make a dataframe with unwanted rows/data.

  2. Use the index of this unwanted dataframe to drop the rows from the original dataframe.

Example:
Suppose you have a dataframe df which as many columns including 'Age' which is an integer. Now let's say you want to drop all the rows with 'Age' as negative number.

df_age_negative = df[ df['Age'] < 0 ] # Step 1
df = df.drop(df_age_negative.index, axis=0) # Step 2

Hope this is much simpler and helps you.

Which to use <div class="name"> or <div id="name">?

Read the spec for the attributes and for CSS.

  • id must be unique. class does not have to be
  • id has higher (highest!) specificity in CSS
  • Elements can have multiple non-ordinal classes (separated by spaces), but only one id
  • It is faster to select an element by it's ID when querying the DOM
  • id can be used as an anchor target (using the fragment of the request) for any element. name only works with anchors (<a>)

How to make a transparent HTML button?

Make a div and use your image ( png with transparent background ) as the background of the div, then you can apply any text within that div to hover over the button. Something like this:

Your Button Label Here
</div>

CSS:

.button {
height:20px;
width:40px;
background: url("yourimage.png");

Convert tabs to spaces in Notepad++

To convert existing tabs to spaces, press Edit->Blank Operations->TAB to Space.

If in the future you want to enter spaces instead of tab when you press tab key:

  1. Go to Settings->Preferences...->Language (since version 7.1) or Settings->Preferences...->Tab Settings (previous versions)
  2. Check Replace by space
  3. (Optional) You can set the number of spaces to use in place of a Tab by changing the Tab size field.

Return Index of an Element in an Array Excel VBA

The only (& even though cumbersome but yet expedient / relatively quick) way I can do this, is to concatenate the any-dimensional array, and reduce it to 1 dimension, with "/[column number]//\|" as the delimiter.

& use a single-cell result multiple lookupall macro function on the this 1-d column.

& then index match to pull out the positions. (usuing multiple find match)

That way you get all matching occurrences of the element/string your looking for, in the original any-dimension array, and their positions. In one cell.

Wish I could write a macro / function for this entire process. It would save me more fuss.

Multiple maven repositories in one gradle file

In short you have to do like this

repositories {
  maven { url "http://maven.springframework.org/release" }
  maven { url "https://maven.fabric.io/public" }
}

Detail:

You need to specify each maven URL in its own curly braces. Here is what I got working with skeleton dependencies for the web services project I’m going to build up:

apply plugin: 'java'

sourceCompatibility = 1.7
version = '1.0'

repositories {
  maven { url "http://maven.springframework.org/release" }
  maven { url "http://maven.restlet.org" }
  mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
  compile group:'org.restlet.jee', name:'org.restlet', version:'2.1.1'
  compile group:'org.restlet.jee', name:'org.restlet.ext.servlet',version.1.1'
  compile group:'org.springframework', name:'spring-web', version:'3.2.1.RELEASE'
  compile group:'org.slf4j', name:'slf4j-api', version:'1.7.2'
  compile group:'ch.qos.logback', name:'logback-core', version:'1.0.9'
  testCompile group:'junit', name:'junit', version:'4.11'
}
