Node.js project naming conventions for files & folders

Use kebab-case for all package, folder and file names.

Why?

You should imagine that any folder or file might be extracted to its own package some day. Packages cannot contain uppercase letters.

New packages must not have uppercase letters in the name. https://docs.npmjs.com/files/package.json#name

Therefore, camelCase should never be used. This leaves snake_case and kebab-case.

kebab-case is by far the most common convention today. The only use of underscores is for internal node packages, and this is simply a convention from the early days.

Why would a "java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out" exception occur when URL is up?

There is a possibility that your IP/host are blocked by the remote host, especially if it thinks you are hitting it too hard.

Difference between Java SE/EE/ME?

Java SE (Standard Edition) is for building desktop apps.

Java ME (Micro Edition) is for old mobile devices.

Java EE (Enterprise Edition) is for developing web based applications.

Where is the .NET Framework 4.5 directory?

EDIT: This answer was correct until mid-2013, but you may have a more recent version since the big msbuild change. See the answer from Jonny Leeds for more details.

The version under C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319 actually is .NET 4.5. It's a little odd, but certainly mscorlib there contains AsyncTaskMethodBuilder etc which are used for async.

.NET 4.5 effectively overwrites .NET 4.

Primefaces valueChangeListener or <p:ajax listener not firing for p:selectOneMenu

My problem were that we were using spring securyty, and the previous page doesn't call the page using faces-redirect=true, then the page show a java warning, and the control doesn't fire the change event.

Solution: The previous page must call the page using, faces-redirect=true

"Unable to find remote helper for 'https'" during git clone

The easiest way to fix this problem is to ensure that the git-core is added to the path for your current user

If you add the following to your bash profile file in ~/.bash_profile this should normally resolve the issue

PATH=$PATH:/usr/libexec/git-core

When running WebDriver with Chrome browser, getting message, "Only local connections are allowed" even though browser launches properly

I had to run my commands in the one and same terminal, not seperately.

nohup sudo Xvfb :10 -ac
export DISPLAY=:10
java -jar vendor/se/selenium-server-standalone/bin/selenium-server-standalone.jar -Dwebdriver.chrome.bin="/usr/bin/google-chrome" -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver="vendor/bin/chromedriver"

Reading Space separated input in python

You can do the following if you already know the number of fields of the input:

client_name = raw_input("Enter you first and last name: ")
first_name, last_name = client_name.split() 

and in case you want to iterate through the fields separated by spaces, you can do the following:

some_input = raw_input() # This input is the value separated by spaces
for field in some_input.split():
    print field # this print can be replaced with any operation you'd like
    #             to perform on the fields.

A more generic use of the "split()" function would be:

    result_list = some_string.split(DELIMITER)

where DELIMETER is replaced with the delimiter you'd like to use as your separator, with single quotes surrounding it.

An example would be:

    result_string = some_string.split('!')    

The code above takes a string and separates the fields using the '!' character as a delimiter.

What version of Python is on my Mac?

To check third version, we can use,

python3 --version

select into in mysql

In MySQL, It should be like this

INSERT INTO this_table_archive (col1, col2, ..., coln)
SELECT col1, col2, ..., coln
FROM this_table
WHERE entry_date < '2011-01-01 00:00:00';

ActiveMQ connection refused

Your application is not able to connect to activemq. Check that your activemq is running and listening on localhost 61616.

You can try using: netstat -a to check if the activemq process has started. Or try check if you can access your actvemq using admin page: localhost:8161/admin/queues.jsp

On mac you will start your activemq using:

$ACTMQ_HOME/bin/activemq start 

Or if your config file (activemq.xml ) if located in another location you can use:

$ACTMQ_HOME/bin/activemq start xbean:file:${location_of_your_config_file}

In your case the executable is under: bin/macosx/activemq so you need to use: $ACTMQ_HOME/bin/macosx/activemq start

Laravel is there a way to add values to a request array

In laravel 5.6 we can pass parameters between Middlewares for example:

FirstMiddleware

public function handle($request, Closure $next, ...$params)
{
    //some code
    return $next($request->merge(['key' => 'value']));
}

SecondMiddleware

public function handle($request, Closure $next, ...$params)
{
    //some code
    dd($request->all());
}

Display QImage with QtGui

Simple, but complete example showing how to display QImage might look like this:

#include <QtGui/QApplication>
#include <QLabel>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);

    QImage myImage;
    myImage.load("test.png");

    QLabel myLabel;
    myLabel.setPixmap(QPixmap::fromImage(myImage));

    myLabel.show();

    return a.exec();
}

I want to add a JSONObject to a JSONArray and that JSONArray included in other JSONObject

org.json.simple.JSONArray resultantJson = new org.json.simple.JSONArray();

        org.json.JSONArray o1 = new org.json.JSONArray("[{\"one\":[],\"two\":\"abc\"}]");
        org.json.JSONArray o2 = new org.json.JSONArray("[{\"three\":[1,2],\"four\":\"def\"}]");


        resultantJson.addAll(o1.toList());
        resultantJson.addAll(o2.toList());

Regular Expression to find a string included between two characters while EXCLUDING the delimiters

If you need extract the text without the brackets, you can use bash awk

echo " [hola mundo] " | awk -F'[][]' '{print $2}'

result:

hola mundo

What is the syntax meaning of RAISERROR()

The severity level 16 in your example code is typically used for user-defined (user-detected) errors. The SQL Server DBMS itself emits severity levels (and error messages) for problems it detects, both more severe (higher numbers) and less so (lower numbers).

The state should be an integer between 0 and 255 (negative values will give an error), but the choice is basically the programmer's. It is useful to put different state values if the same error message for user-defined error will be raised in different locations, e.g. if the debugging/troubleshooting of problems will be assisted by having an extra indication of where the error occurred.

Forcing Internet Explorer 9 to use standards document mode

 <!doctype html>
 <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=Edge">

This makes each version of IE use its standard mode, so IE 9 will use IE 9 standards mode. (If instead you wanted newer versions of IE to also specifically use IE 9 standards mode, you would replace Edge by 9. But it is difficult to see why you would want that.)

For explanations, see http://hsivonen.iki.fi/doctype/#ie8 (it looks rather messy, but that’s because IE is messy in its behaviors).

C error: undefined reference to function, but it IS defined

How are you doing the compiling and linking? You'll need to specify both files, something like:

gcc testpoint.c point.c

...so that it knows to link the functions from both together. With the code as it's written right now, however, you'll then run into the opposite problem: multiple definitions of main. You'll need/want to eliminate one (undoubtedly the one in point.c).

In a larger program, you typically compile and link separately to avoid re-compiling anything that hasn't changed. You normally specify what needs to be done via a makefile, and use make to do the work. In this case you'd have something like this:

OBJS=testpoint.o point.o

testpoint.exe: $(OBJS)
    gcc $(OJBS)

The first is just a macro for the names of the object files. You get it expanded with $(OBJS). The second is a rule to tell make 1) that the executable depends on the object files, and 2) telling it how to create the executable when/if it's out of date compared to an object file.

Most versions of make (including the one in MinGW I'm pretty sure) have a built-in "implicit rule" to tell them how to create an object file from a C source file. It normally looks roughly like this:

.c.o:
    $(CC) -c $(CFLAGS) $<

This assumes the name of the C compiler is in a macro named CC (implicitly defined like CC=gcc) and allows you to specify any flags you care about in a macro named CFLAGS (e.g., CFLAGS=-O3 to turn on optimization) and $< is a special macro that expands to the name of the source file.

You typically store this in a file named Makefile, and to build your program, you just type make at the command line. It implicitly looks for a file named Makefile, and runs whatever rules it contains.

The good point of this is that make automatically looks at the timestamps on the files, so it will only re-compile the files that have changed since the last time you compiled them (i.e., files where the ".c" file has a more recent time-stamp than the matching ".o" file).

Also note that 1) there are lots of variations in how to use make when it comes to large projects, and 2) there are also lots of alternatives to make. I've only hit on the bare minimum of high points here.

Arrays in cookies PHP

Try serialize(). It converts an array into a string format, you can then use unserialize() to convert it back to an array. Scripts like WordPress use this to save multiple values to a single database field.

You can also use json_encode() as Rob said, which maybe useful if you want to read the cookie in javascript.

matching query does not exist Error in Django

You may try this way. just use a function to get your object

def get_object(self, id):
    try:
        return UniversityDetails.objects.get(email__exact=email)
    except UniversityDetails.DoesNotExist:
        return False

How to only get file name with Linux 'find'?

If your find doesn't have a -printf option you can also use basename:

Cannot install packages inside docker Ubuntu image

It is because there is no package cache in the image, you need to run:

apt-get update

before installing packages, and if your command is in a Dockerfile, you'll then need:

apt-get -y install curl

To suppress the standard output from a command use -qq. E.g.

apt-get -qq -y install curl

How to use Global Variables in C#?

There's no such thing as a global variable in C#. Period.

You can have static members if you want:

   public static bool MyStaticBool {get;set;}
}

How to check what user php is running as?

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

save as info.php and

open info.php in your browser

ctrl+f then type any of these:

APACHE_RUN_USER
APACHE_RUN_GROUP
user/group

you can see the user and the group apache is running as.

Run two async tasks in parallel and collect results in .NET 4.5

While your Sleep method is async, Thread.Sleep is not. The whole idea of async is to reuse a single thread, not to start multiple threads. Because you've blocked using a synchronous call to Thread.Sleep, it's not going to work.

I'm assuming that Thread.Sleep is a simplification of what you actually want to do. Can your actual implementation be coded as async methods?

If you do need to run multiple synchronous blocking calls, look elsewhere I think!

how to show calendar on text box click in html

yeah you will come across of various issues using HTML5 datepicker, it would work with some or might not be. I faced the same issue. Please check this DatePicker Demo, I solved my problem with this plugin. Its very good and flexible datepicker plugin with complete demo. It is completely compatible with mobile browsers too and can be integrated with jquery mobile too.

Why is a "GRANT USAGE" created the first time I grant a user privileges?

In addition mysql passwords when not using the IDENTIFIED BY clause, may be blank values, if non-blank, they may be encrypted. But yes USAGE is used to modify an account by granting simple resource limiters such as MAX_QUERIES_PER_HOUR, again this can be specified by also using the WITH clause, in conjuction with GRANT USAGE(no privileges added) or GRANT ALL, you can also specify GRANT USAGE at the global level, database level, table level,etc....

Transparent ARGB hex value

Transparency is controlled by the alpha channel (AA in #AARRGGBB). Maximal value (255 dec, FF hex) means fully opaque. Minimum value (0 dec, 00 hex) means fully transparent. Values in between are semi-transparent, i.e. the color is mixed with the background color.

To get a fully transparent color set the alpha to zero. RR, GG and BB are irrelevant in this case because no color will be visible. This means #00FFFFFF ("transparent White") is the same color as #00F0F8FF ("transparent AliceBlue"). To keep it simple one chooses black (#00000000) or white (#00FFFFFF) if the color does not matter.

In the table you linked to you'll find Transparent defined as #00FFFFFF.

How do you return the column names of a table?

Since SysColumns is deprecated, use Sys.All_Columns:

Select  
 ObjectName       = Object_Name(Object_ID)  
,T.Name  
,C.*  
,T.*  
From   
           Sys.All_Columns C  
Inner Join Sys.Types       T  On T.User_Type_Id = C.User_Type_Id  
Where [Object_ID] = Object_ID('Sys.Server_Permissions')  
--Order By Name Asc  

Select * From Sys.Types will yield user_type_id = ID of the type. This is unique within the database. For system data types: user_type_id = system_type_id.

How to set downloading file name in ASP.NET Web API

If you are using ASP.NET Core MVC, the answers above are ever so slightly altered...

How to round a numpy array?

Numpy provides two identical methods to do this. Either use

np.round(data, 2)

or

np.around(data, 2)

as they are equivalent.

See the documentation for more information.


Examples:

>>> import numpy as np
>>> a = np.array([0.015, 0.235, 0.112])
>>> np.round(a, 2)
array([0.02, 0.24, 0.11])
>>> np.around(a, 2)
array([0.02, 0.24, 0.11])
>>> np.round(a, 1)
array([0. , 0.2, 0.1])

Convert JSON array to an HTML table in jQuery

I found a duplicate over here: Convert json data to a html table

Well, there are many plugins exists, including commercial one (Make this as commercial project?! Kinda overdone... but you can checkout over here: https://github.com/alfajango/jquery-dynatable)

This one has more fork: https://github.com/afshinm/Json-to-HTML-Table

//Example data, Object 
var objectArray = [{
    "Total": "34",
    "Version": "1.0.4",
    "Office": "New York"
}, {
    "Total": "67",
    "Version": "1.1.0",
    "Office": "Paris"
}];

//Example data, Array
var stringArray = ["New York", "Berlin", "Paris", "Marrakech", "Moscow"];

//Example data, nested Object. This data will create nested table also.
var nestedTable = [{
    key1: "val1",
    key2: "val2",
    key3: {
        tableId: "tblIdNested1",
        tableClassName: "clsNested",
        linkText: "Download",
        data: [{
            subkey1: "subval1",
            subkey2: "subval2",
            subkey3: "subval3"
        }]
    }
}];

Apply the code

//Only first parameter is required
var jsonHtmlTable = ConvertJsonToTable(objectArray, 'jsonTable', null, 'Download');

Or you might want to checkout this jQuery plugins as well: https://github.com/jongha/jquery-jsontotable

I think jongha's plugins is easier to use

<div id="jsontotable" class="jsontotable"></div>

var data = [[1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 3]];
$.jsontotable(data, { id: '#jsontotable', header: false });

SET NAMES utf8 in MySQL?

Instead of doing this via an SQL query use the php function: mysqli::set_charset mysqli_set_charset

Note:

This is the preferred way to change the charset. Using mysqli_query() to set it (such as SET NAMES utf8) is not recommended.

See the MySQL character set concepts section for more information.

from http://www.php.net/manual/en/mysqli.set-charset.php

Best way to move files between S3 buckets?

For me the following command just worked:

convert a char* to std::string

I would like to mention a new method which uses the user defined literal s. This isn't new, but it will be more common because it was added in the C++14 Standard Library.

Largely superfluous in the general case:

string mystring = "your string here"s;

But it allows you to use auto, also with wide strings:

auto mystring = U"your UTF-32 string here"s;

And here is where it really shines:

string suffix;
cin >> suffix;
string mystring = "mystring"s + suffix;

Creating a dynamic choice field

the problem is when you do

def __init__(self, user, *args, **kwargs):
    super(waypointForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
    self.fields['waypoints'] = forms.ChoiceField(choices=[ (o.id, str(o)) for o in Waypoint.objects.filter(user=user)])

in a update request, the previous value will lost!

Git and nasty "error: cannot lock existing info/refs fatal"

Run git fetch --all before git pull. That should solve the problem.

How do I merge a specific commit from one branch into another in Git?

If BranchA has not been pushed to a remote then you can reorder the commits using rebase and then simply merge. It's preferable to use merge over rebase when possible because it doesn't create duplicate commits.

git checkout BranchA
git rebase -i HEAD~113
... reorder the commits so the 10 you want are first ...
git checkout BranchB
git merge [the 10th commit]

Can ordered list produce result that looks like 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 (instead of just 1, 2, 3, ...) with css?

In the near future you may be able to use the ::marker psuedo-element to achieve the same result as other solutions in just one line of code.

Remember to check the Browser Compatibility Table as this is still an experimental technology. At the moment of writing only Firefox and Firefox for Android, starting from version 68, support this.

How to take the first N items from a generator or list?

With itertools you will obtain another generator object so in most of the cases you will need another step the take the first N elements (N). There are at least two simpler solutions (a little bit less efficient in terms of performance but very handy) to get the elements ready to use from a generator:

Using list comprehension:

first_N_element=[generator.next() for i in range(N)]

Otherwise:

first_N_element=list(generator)[:N]

Where N is the number of elements you want to take (e.g. N=5 for the first five elements).

What does the 'static' keyword do in a class?

Static in Java:

Static is a Non Access Modifier. The static keyword belongs to the class than instance of the class. can be used to attach a Variable or Method to a Class.

Static keyword CAN be used with:

Method

Variable

Class nested within another Class

Initialization Block

CAN'T be used with:

Class (Not Nested)

Constructor

Interfaces

Method Local Inner Class(Difference then nested class)

Inner Class methods

Instance Variables

Local Variables

Example:

Imagine the following example which has an instance variable named count which in incremented in the constructor:

package pkg;

class StaticExample {
    int count = 0;// will get memory when instance is created

    StaticExample() {
        count++;
        System.out.println(count);
    }

    public static void main(String args[]) {

        StaticExample c1 = new StaticExample();
        StaticExample c2 = new StaticExample();
        StaticExample c3 = new StaticExample();

    }
}

Output:

1 1 1

Since instance variable gets the memory at the time of object creation, each object will have the copy of the instance variable, if it is incremented, it won't reflect to other objects.

Now if we change the instance variable count to a static one then the program will produce different output:

package pkg;

class StaticExample {
    static int count = 0;// will get memory when instance is created

    StaticExample() {
        count++;
        System.out.println(count);
    }

    public static void main(String args[]) {

        StaticExample c1 = new StaticExample();
        StaticExample c2 = new StaticExample();
        StaticExample c3 = new StaticExample();

    }
}

Output:

1 2 3

In this case static variable will get the memory only once, if any object changes the value of the static variable, it will retain its value.

Static with Final:

The global variable which is declared as final and static remains unchanged for the whole execution. Because, Static members are stored in the class memory and they are loaded only once in the whole execution. They are common to all objects of the class. If you declare static variables as final, any of the objects can’t change their value as it is final. Therefore, variables declared as final and static are sometimes referred to as Constants. All fields of interfaces are referred as constants, because they are final and static by default.

How do you add an array to another array in Ruby and not end up with a multi-dimensional result?

a = ['a', 'b']
b = ['c', 'd']
arr = [a, b].flatten

This won't remove dups, but

a|b

removes dups.

What is the difference between the dot (.) operator and -> in C++?

It's simple, whenever you see

 x->y

know it is the same as

 (*x).y

Update on 11 December 2015

Username + password is no longer a recommended solution. This is due to

I tried this and Gmail sent the email used as username in this code an email saying that We recently blocked a sign-in attempt to your Google Account, and directed me to this support page: support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255 so it looks for it to work, the email account being used to send needs to reduce their own security

Google had released Gmail API - https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/?hl=en. We should use oAuth2 method, instead of username + password.

Here's the code snippet to work with Gmail API.

GoogleMail.java

public class GoogleMail {
    private GoogleMail() {
    }

    private static MimeMessage createEmail(String to, String cc, String from, String subject, String bodyText) throws MessagingException {
        Properties props = new Properties();
        Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);

        MimeMessage email = new MimeMessage(session);
        InternetAddress tAddress = new InternetAddress(to);
        InternetAddress cAddress = cc.isEmpty() ? null : new InternetAddress(cc);
        InternetAddress fAddress = new InternetAddress(from);

        email.setFrom(fAddress);
        if (cAddress != null) {
            email.addRecipient(javax.mail.Message.RecipientType.CC, cAddress);
        }
        email.addRecipient(javax.mail.Message.RecipientType.TO, tAddress);
        email.setSubject(subject);
        email.setText(bodyText);
        return email;
    }

    private static Message createMessageWithEmail(MimeMessage email) throws MessagingException, IOException {
        ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        email.writeTo(baos);
        String encodedEmail = Base64.encodeBase64URLSafeString(baos.toByteArray());
        Message message = new Message();
        message.setRaw(encodedEmail);
        return message;
    }

    public static void Send(Gmail service, String recipientEmail, String ccEmail, String fromEmail, String title, String message) throws IOException, MessagingException {
        Message m = createMessageWithEmail(createEmail(recipientEmail, ccEmail, fromEmail, title, message));
        service.users().messages().send("me", m).execute();
    }
}

How to get a subset of a javascript object's properties

Note: though the original question asked was for javascript, it can be done jQuery by below solution

you can extend jquery if you want here is the sample code for one slice:

jQuery.extend({
  sliceMe: function(obj, str) {
      var returnJsonObj = null;
    $.each( obj, function(name, value){
        alert("name: "+name+", value: "+value);
        if(name==str){
            returnJsonObj = JSON.stringify("{"+name+":"+value+"}");
        }

    });
      return returnJsonObj;
  }
});

var elmo = { 
  color: 'red',
  annoying: true,
  height: 'unknown',
  meta: { one: '1', two: '2'}
};


var temp = $.sliceMe(elmo,"color");
alert(JSON.stringify(temp));

What is the size of an enum in C?

Taken from the current C Standard (C99): http://www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG14/www/docs/n1256.pdf

6.7.2.2 Enumeration specifiers
[...]
Constraints
The expression that defines the value of an enumeration constant shall be an integer constant expression that has a value representable as an int.
[...]
Each enumerated type shall be compatible with char, a signed integer type, or an unsigned integer type. The choice of type is implementation-defined, but shall be capable of representing the values of all the members of the enumeration.

Not that compilers are any good at following the standard, but essentially: If your enum holds anything else than an int, you're in deep "unsupported behavior that may come back biting you in a year or two" territory.

Update: The latest publicly available draft of the C Standard (C11): http://www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG14/www/docs/n1570.pdf contains the same clauses. Hence, this answer still holds for C11.

How to import an existing project from GitHub into Android Studio

Unzip the github project to a folder. Open Android Studio. Go to File -> New -> Import Project. Then choose the specific project you want to import and then click Next->Finish. It will build the Gradle automatically and'll be ready for you to use.

P.S: In some versions of Android Studio a certain error occurs-
error:package android.support.v4.app does not exist.
To fix it go to Gradle Scripts->build.gradle(Module:app) and the add the dependecies:

dependencies {      
    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])  
    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:21.0.3'  
}

Enjoy working in Android Studio

How to prevent scanf causing a buffer overflow in C?

Most of the time a combination of fgets and sscanf does the job. The other thing would be to write your own parser, if the input is well formatted. Also note your second example needs a bit of modification to be used safely:

#define LENGTH          42
#define str(x)          # x
#define xstr(x)         str(x)

/* ... */ 
int nc = scanf("%"xstr(LENGTH)"[^\n]%*[^\n]", array); 

The above discards the input stream upto but not including the newline (\n) character. You will need to add a getchar() to consume this. Also do check if you reached the end-of-stream:

if (!feof(stdin)) { ...

and that's about it.

React Native fetch() Network Request Failed

I got the same issue on Android but I managed to find a solution for it. Android is blocking cleartext traffic (non-https-requests) since API Level 28 by default. However, react-native adds a network-security-config to the debug version (android/app/src/debug/res/xml/react_native_config.xml) which defines some domains (localhost, and the host IPs for AVD / Genymotion), which can be used without SSL in dev mode. You can add your domain there to allow http requests.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
  <domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
    <domain includeSubdomains="false">localhost</domain>
    <domain includeSubdomains="false">10.0.2.2</domain>
    <domain includeSubdomains="false">10.0.3.2</domain>
    <domain includeSubdomains="true">dev.local</domain>
  </domain-config>
</network-security-config>

How to remove unused C/C++ symbols with GCC and ld?

How to change an image on click using CSS alone?

A Pure CSS Solution

Abstract

A checkbox input is a native element served to implement toggle functionality, we can use that to our benefit.

Utilize the :checked pseudo class - attach it to a pseudo element of a checkbox (since you can't really affect the background of the input itself), and change its background accordingly.

Implementation

input[type="checkbox"]:before {
    content: url('images/icon.png');
    display: block;
    width: 100px;
    height: 100px;
}
input[type="checkbox"]:checked:before {
    content: url('images/another-icon.png');
}

Demo

Here's a full working demo on jsFiddle to illustrate the approach.

Refactoring

This is a bit cumbersome, and we could make some changes to clean up unnecessary stuff; as we're not really applying a background image, but instead setting the element's content, we can omit the pseudo elements and set it directly on the checkbox.

Admittedly, they serve no real purpose here but to mask the native rendering of the checkbox. We could simply remove them, but that would result in a FOUC in best cases, or if we fail to fetch the image, it will simply show a huge checkbox.

Enters the appearance property:

The (-moz-)appearance CSS property is used ... to display an element using a platform-native styling based on the operating system's theme.

we can override the platform-native styling by assigning appearance: none and bypass that glitch altogether (we would have to account for vendor prefixes, naturally, and the prefix-free form is not supported anywhere, at the moment). The selectors are then simplified, and the code is more robust.

Implementation

input[type="checkbox"] {
    content: url('images/black.cat');
    display: block;
    width: 200px;
    height: 200px;
    -webkit-appearance: none;
}
input[type="checkbox"]:checked {
    content: url('images/white.cat');
}

Demo

Again, a live demo of the refactored version is on jsFiddle.

Note: this only works on webkit for now, I'm trying to have it fixed for gecko engines also. Will post the updated version once I do.

how to loop through each row of dataFrame in pyspark

Using list comprehensions in python, you can collect an entire column of values into a list using just two lines:

df = sqlContext.sql("show tables in default")
tableList = [x["tableName"] for x in df.rdd.collect()]

In the above example, we return a list of tables in database 'default', but the same can be adapted by replacing the query used in sql().

Or more abbreviated:

tableList = [x["tableName"] for x in sqlContext.sql("show tables in default").rdd.collect()]

And for your example of three columns, we can create a list of dictionaries, and then iterate through them in a for loop.

sql_text = "select name, age, city from user"
tupleList = [{name:x["name"], age:x["age"], city:x["city"]} 
             for x in sqlContext.sql(sql_text).rdd.collect()]
for row in tupleList:
    print("{} is a {} year old from {}".format(
        row["name"],
        row["age"],
        row["city"]))

c++ custom compare function for std::sort()

std::pair already has the required comparison operators, which perform lexicographical comparisons using both elements of each pair. To use this, you just have to provide the comparison operators for types for types K and V.

Also bear in mind that std::sort requires a strict weak ordeing comparison, and <= does not satisfy that. You would need, for example, a less-than comparison < for K and V. With that in place, all you need is

std::vector<pair<K,V>> items; 
std::sort(items.begin(), items.end()); 

If you really need to provide your own comparison function, then you need something along the lines of

template <typename K, typename V>
bool comparePairs(const std::pair<K,V>& lhs, const std::pair<K,V>& rhs)
{
  return lhs.first < rhs.first;
}

ORA-12505: TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor (DBD ERROR: OCIServerAttach)

I have some vague recollections of Oracle databases needing a bit of fiddling when you reboot for the first time after installing the database. However, you haven't given us enough information to work on. To start with:

  • What code are you using to connect to the database?
  • It's not clear whether the database instance has been started. Can you connect to the database using sqlplus / as sysdba from within the VM?
  • What has been written to the listener.log file (in %ORACLE_HOME%\network\log) since the last reboot?

EDIT: I've now been able to come up with a scenario which generates the same error message you got. It looks to me like the database you're attempting to connect to has not been started up. The example I present below uses Oracle XE on Linux, but I don't think this makes a significant difference.

First, let us confirm that the database is shut down:

$ sqlplus / as sysdba

SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Sat Jul 17 18:16:43 2010

Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle.  All rights reserved.

Connected to an idle instance.

It's the text Connected to an idle instance that tells us that the database is shut down.

Using sqlplus / as sysdba connects us to the database as SYS without needing a password, but it only works on the same machine as the database itself. In your case, you'd need to run this inside the virtual machine. SYS has permission to start up and shut down the database, and to connect to it when it is shut down, but normal users don't have these permissions.

Now let us disconnect and try reconnecting as a normal user, one that does not have permission to startup/shutdown the database nor connect to it when it is down:

SQL> exit

SQL> 

We're in.

I hadn't seen an ORA-12505 error before because I don't normally connect to an Oracle database by entering the entire connection string on the command line. This is likely to be similar to how you are attempting to connect to the database. Usually, I either connect to a local database, or connect to a remote database by using a TNS name (these are listed in the tnsnames.ora file, in %ORACLE_HOME%\network\admin). In both of these cases you get a different error message if you attempt to connect to a database that has been shut down.

If the above doesn't help you (in particular, if the database has already been started, or you get errors starting up the database), please let us know.

EDIT 2: it seems the problems you were having were indeed because the database hadn't been started. It also appears that your database isn't configured to start up when the service starts. It is possible to get the database to start up when the service is started, and to shut down when the service is stopped. To do this, use the Oracle Administration Assistant for Windows, see here.

UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'entityManagerFactory'

Well, you're getting a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError. In your pom.xml, hibernate-core version is 3.3.2.GA and declared after hibernate-entitymanager, so it prevails. You can remove that dependency, since will be inherited version 3.6.7.Final from hibernate-entitymanager.

You're using spring-boot as parent, so no need to declare version of some dependencies, since they are managed by spring-boot.

Also, hibernate-commons-annotations is inherited from hibernate-entitymanager and hibernate-annotations is an old version of hibernate-commons-annotations, you can remove both.

Finally, your pom.xml can look like this:

What are App Domains in Facebook Apps?

It's simply the domain that your "facebook" application (wich means application visible on facebook but hosted on the website www.xyz.com) will be hosted. So you can put App Domain = www.xyz.com

Empty ArrayList equals null

No.

An ArrayList can be empty (or with nulls as items) an not be null. It would be considered empty. You can check for am empty ArrayList with:

ArrayList arrList = new ArrayList();
if(arrList.isEmpty())
{
    // Do something with the empty list here.
}

Or if you want to create a method that checks for an ArrayList with only nulls:

public static Boolean ContainsAllNulls(ArrayList arrList)
{
    if(arrList != null)
    {
        for(object a : arrList)
            if(a != null) return false;
    }

    return true;
}

What causes java.lang.IncompatibleClassChangeError?

This means that you have made some incompatible binary changes to the library without recompiling the client code. Java Language Specification §13 details all such changes, most prominently, changing non-static non-private fields/methods to be static or vice versa.

Recompile the client code against the new library, and you should be good to go.

UPDATE: If you publish a public library, you should avoid making incompatible binary changes as much as possible to preserve what's known as "binary backward compatibility". Updating dependency jars alone ideally shouldn't break the application or the build. If you do have to break binary backward compatibility, it's recommended to increase the major version number (e.g. from 1.x.y to 2.0.0) before releasing the change.

file_put_contents: Failed to open stream, no such file or directory

I was also stuck on the same kind of problem and I followed the simple steps below.

Just get the exact url of the file to which you want to copy, for example:

http://www.test.com/test.txt (file to copy)

Then pass the exact absolute folder path with filename where you do want to write that file.

  1. If you are on a Windows machine then d:/xampp/htdocs/upload/test.txt

  2. If you are on a Linux machine then /var/www/html/upload/test.txt

You can get the document root with the PHP function $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].

IOError: [Errno 22] invalid mode ('r') or filename: 'c:\\Python27\test.txt'

\t is a tab character. Use a raw string instead:

test_file=open(r'c:\Python27\test.txt','r')

or double the slashes:

test_file=open('c:\\Python27\\test.txt','r')

or use forward slashes instead:

test_file=open('c:/Python27/test.txt','r')

SQL Server 2008 - Help writing simple INSERT Trigger

check this code:

    Insert into Employee (Name, Department)  
    Select Distinct i.Name, i.Department   
        from Inserted i
        Left Join Employee e on i.Name = e.Name and i.Department = e.Department
        where e.Name is null
End

How can I get file extensions with JavaScript?

function extension(fname) {
  var pos = fname.lastIndexOf(".");
  var strlen = fname.length;
  if (pos != -1 && strlen != pos + 1) {
    var ext = fname.split(".");
    var len = ext.length;
    var extension = ext[len - 1].toLowerCase();
  } else {
    extension = "No extension found";
  }
  return extension;
}

//usage

extension('file.jpeg')

always returns the extension lower cas so you can check it on field change works for:

file.JpEg

file (no extension)

file. (noextension)

excel formula to subtract number of days from a date

You can paste it like this:

And don't forget to format the cell as a Date [CTRL]+[F1] / Number Tab

Git - Ignore files during merge

I got over this issue by using git merge command with the --no-commit option and then explicitly removed the staged file and ignore the changes to the file. E.g.: say I want to ignore any changes to myfile.txt I proceed as follows:

git merge --no-ff --no-commit <merge-branch>
git reset HEAD myfile.txt
git checkout -- myfile.txt
git commit -m "merged <merge-branch>"

You can put statements 2 & 3 in a for loop, if you have a list of files to skip.

What's the difference between "app.render" and "res.render" in express.js?

along with these two variants, there is also jade.renderFile which generates html that need not be passed to the client.

usage-

var jade = require('jade');

exports.getJson = getJson;

function getJson(req, res) {
    var html = jade.renderFile('views/test.jade', {some:'json'});
    res.send({message: 'i sent json'});
}

getJson() is available as a route in app.js.

How to Delete a topic in apache kafka

Deletion of a topic has been supported since 0.8.2.x version. You have to enable topic deletion (setting delete.topic.enable to true) on all brokers first.

Note: Ever since 1.0.x, the functionality being stable, delete.topic.enable is by default true.

Follow this step by step process for manual deletion of topics

  1. Stop Kafka server
  2. Delete the topic directory, on each broker (as defined in the logs.dirs and log.dir properties) with rm -rf command
  3. Connect to Zookeeper instance: zookeeper-shell.sh host:port
  4. From within the Zookeeper instance:
    1. List the topics using: ls /brokers/topics
    2. Remove the topic folder from ZooKeeper using: rmr /brokers/topics/yourtopic
    3. Exit the Zookeeper instance (Ctrl+C)
  5. Restart Kafka server
  6. Confirm if it was deleted or not by using this command kafka-topics.sh --list --zookeeper host:port

Background position, margin-top?

 background-image: url(/images/poster.png);

Change drawable color programmatically

Same as the accepted answer but a simpler convenience method:

val myDrawable = ContextCompat.getDrawable(context, R.drawable.my_drawable)
myDrawable.setColorFilter(Color.GREEN, PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN)
setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(myDrawable, null, null, null)

Note, the code here is Kotlin.

Python strftime - date without leading 0?

For %d you can convert to integer using int() then it'll automatically remove leading 0 and becomes integer. You can then convert back to string using str().

Update TensorFlow

Before trying to update tensorflow try updating pip

pip install --upgrade pip

If you are upgrading from a previous installation of TensorFlow < 0.7.1, you should uninstall the previous TensorFlow and protobuf using,

pip uninstall tensorflow

to make sure you get a clean installation of the updated protobuf dependency.

Uninstall the TensorFlow on your system, and check out Download and Setup to reinstall again.

If you are using pip install, go check the available version over https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow, search keywords with linux/cpu/tensorflow to see the availabilities.

Then, set the path for download and execute in sudo.

$ export TF_BINARY_URL=https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/linux/cpu/tensorflow-1.0.0-py2-none-any.whl

$ sudo pip install --upgrade $TF_BINARY_URL

CSS animation delay in repeating

I had a similar problem and used

@-webkit-keyframes pan {
   0%, 10%       { -webkit-transform: translate3d( 0%, 0px, 0px); }
   90%, 100%     { -webkit-transform: translate3d(-50%, 0px, 0px); }
}

Bit irritating that you have to fake your duration to account for 'delays' at either end.

Java Inheritance - calling superclass method

You can do:

super.alphaMethod1();

Note, that super is a reference to the parent, but super() is it's constructor.

Does Python's time.time() return the local or UTC timestamp?

To get a local timestamp using datetime library, Python 3.x

#wanted format: year-month-day hour:minute:seconds

from datetime import datetime

# get time now
dt = datetime.now()
# format it to a string
timeStamp = dt.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')

# print it to screen
print(timeStamp)

How do I abort/cancel TPL Tasks?

Tasks have first class support for cancellation via cancellation tokens. Create your tasks with cancellation tokens, and cancel the tasks via these explicitly.

jQuery UI autocomplete with item and id

Just want to share what worked on my end, in case it would be able to help someone else too. Alternatively based on Paty Lustosa's answer above, please allow me to add another approach derived from this site where he used an ajax approach for the source method

http://salman-w.blogspot.ca/2013/12/jquery-ui-autocomplete-examples.html#example-3

The kicker is the resulting "string" or json format from your php script (listing.php below) that derives the result set to be shown in the autocomplete field should follow something like this:

    {"list":[
     {"value": 1, "label": "abc"},
     {"value": 2, "label": "def"},
     {"value": 3, "label": "ghi"}
    ]}

Then on the source portion of the autocomplete method:

    source: function(request, response) {
        $.getJSON("listing.php", {
            term: request.term
        }, function(data) {                     
            var array = data.error ? [] : $.map(data.list, function(m) {
                return {
                    label: m.label,
                    value: m.value
                };
            });
            response(array);
        });
    },
    select: function (event, ui) {
        $("#autocomplete_field").val(ui.item.label); // display the selected text
        $("#field_id").val(ui.item.value); // save selected id to hidden input
        return false;
    }

Hope this helps... all the best!

How do I cast a JSON Object to a TypeScript class?

This is a simple and a really good option

let person = "{"name":"Sam","Age":"30"}";

const jsonParse: ((key: string, value: any) => any) | undefined = undefined;
let objectConverted = JSON.parse(textValue, jsonParse);

And then you'll have

objectConverted.name

Directory.GetFiles of certain extension

I would have done using just single line like

List<string> imageFiles = Directory.GetFiles(dir, "*.*", SearchOption.AllDirectories)
      .Where(file => new string[] { ".jpg", ".gif", ".png" }
      .Contains(Path.GetExtension(file)))
      .ToList();

I like ZenBurn theme, I think it is very mild and appealing for the eye. I had here my own theme's settings JAR file, but I stopped updating it. I still think that theme is very good so I updated this post to a suitable theme with similar colors which is already available on @Yarg's web site screenshot

Google maps responsive resize

Move your map variable into a scope where the event listener can use it. You are creating the map inside your initialize() function and nothing else can use it when created that way.

var map; //<-- This is now available to both event listeners and the initialize() function
function initialize() {
  var mapOptions = {
   center: new google.maps.LatLng(40.5472,12.282715),
   zoom: 6,
   mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
  };
  map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map-canvas"),
            mapOptions);
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, "resize", function() {
 var center = map.getCenter();
 google.maps.event.trigger(map, "resize");
 map.setCenter(center); 
});

Get all photos from Instagram which have a specific hashtag with PHP

Here's another example I wrote a while ago:

<?php       
    // Get class for Instagram
    // More examples here: https://github.com/cosenary/Instagram-PHP-API
    require_once 'instagram.class.php';

    // Initialize class with client_id
    // Register at http://instagram.com/developer/ and replace client_id with your own
    $instagram = new Instagram('CLIENT_ID_HERE');

    // Set keyword for #hashtag
    $tag = 'KEYWORD HERE';

    // Get latest photos according to #hashtag keyword
    $media = $instagram->getTagMedia($tag);

    // Set number of photos to show
    $limit = 5;

    // Set height and width for photos
    $size = '100';

    // Show results
    // Using for loop will cause error if there are less photos than the limit
    foreach(array_slice($media->data, 0, $limit) as $data)
    {
        // Show photo
        echo '<p><img src="'.$data->images->thumbnail->url.'" height="'.$size.'" width="'.$size.'" alt="SOME TEXT HERE"></p>';
    }
?>

Visual Studio 2012 Web Publish doesn't copy files

I found the I could get around this problem by changing the target location from obj/[release|stage|..] to a new path outside of the solution folders completely eg c:\deployment. It seems like VS 2012 was getting confused and maybe giving up somewhere during the publish process.

open Terminal and run following commands:

  1. Initialize git in that folder (root Directory)

    git init

  2. Add Git

    git add .

  3. Link your TSf/Git to that Project - {url} replace with your git address

    git remote add origin {url}

  4. Commit those Changes:

    git commit -m "initial commit"

  5. Push - I pushed code as version1 you can use any name for your branch

    git push origin HEAD:Version1

How to sort a dataFrame in python pandas by two or more columns?

As of pandas 0.17.0, DataFrame.sort() is deprecated, and set to be removed in a future version of pandas. The way to sort a dataframe by its values is now is DataFrame.sort_values

As such, the answer to your question would now be

df.sort_values(['b', 'c'], ascending=[True, False], inplace=True)

Python `if x is not None` or `if not x is None`?

Both Google and Python's style guide is the best practice:

if x is not None:
    # Do something about x

Using not x can cause unwanted results.

See below:

>>> x = 1
>>> not x
False
>>> x = [1]
>>> not x
False
>>> x = 0
>>> not x
True
>>> x = [0]         # You don't want to fall in this one.
>>> not x
False

You may be interested to see what literals are evaluated to True or False in Python:


Edit for comment below:

I just did some more testing. not x is None doesn't negate x first and then compared to None. In fact, it seems the is operator has a higher precedence when used that way:

>>> x
[0]
>>> not x is None
True
>>> not (x is None)
True
>>> (not x) is None
False

Therefore, not x is None is just, in my honest opinion, best avoided.


More edit:

I just did more testing and can confirm that bukzor's comment is correct. (At least, I wasn't able to prove it otherwise.)

This means if x is not None has the exact result as if not x is None. I stand corrected. Thanks bukzor.

However, my answer still stands: Use the conventional if x is not None. :]

How to undo a successful "git cherry-pick"?

If possible, avoid hard resets. Hard resets are one of the very few destructive operations in git. Luckily, you can undo a cherry-pick without resets and avoid anything destructive.

Note the hash of the cherry-pick you want to undo, say it is ${bad_cherrypick}. Do a git revert ${bad_cherrypick}. Now the contents of your working tree are as they were before your bad cherry-pick.

Repeat your git cherry-pick ${wanted_commit}, and when you're happy with the new cherry-pick, do a git rebase -i ${bad_cherrypick}~1. During the rebase, delete both ${bad_cherrypick} and its corresponding revert.

The branch you are working on will only have the good cherry-pick. No resets needed!

How to run a shell script in OS X by double-clicking?

  • First in terminal make the script executable by typing the following command:

      chmod a+x yourscriptname
    
  • Then, in Finder, right-click your file and select "Open with" and then "Other...".

  • Here you select the application you want the file to execute into, in this case it would be Terminal. To be able to select terminal you need to switch from "Recommended Applications" to "All Applications". (The Terminal.app application can be found in the Utilities folder)

  • NOTE that unless you don't want to associate all files with this extension to be run in terminal you should not have "Always Open With" checked.

  • After clicking OK you should be able to execute you script by simply double-clicking it.

SoapFault exception: Could not connect to host

The host is either down or very slow to respond. If it's slow to respond, you can try increasing the timeout via the connection_timeout option or via the default_socket_timeout setting and see if that reduces the failures.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/soapclient.soapclient.php

http://www.php.net/manual/en/filesystem.configuration.php#ini.default-socket-timeout

You can also include error handling as zanlok pointed out to retry a few times. If you have users actually waiting on these SOAP calls then you'll want to queue them up and process them in the background and notify the user when they're finished.

How to unzip a list of tuples into individual lists?

Comment out HTML and PHP together

I agree that Pascal's solution is the way to go, but for those saying that it adds an extra task to remove the comments, you can use the following comment style trick to simplify your life:

<?php /* ?>
<tr>
      <td><?php echo $entry_keyword; ?></td>
      <td><input type="text" name="keyword" value="<?php echo $keyword; ?>" /></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td><?php echo $entry_sort_order; ?></td>
      <td><input name="sort_order" value="<?php echo $sort_order; ?>" size="1" /></td>
    </tr>
<?php // */ ?>

In order to stop the code block being commented out, simply change the opening comment to:

<?php //* ?>

Why is my variable unaltered after I modify it inside of a function? - Asynchronous code reference

Here's a more concise answer for people that are looking for a quick reference as well as some examples using promises and async/await.

Start with the naive approach (that doesn't work) for a function that calls an asynchronous method (in this case setTimeout) and returns a message:

function getMessage() {
  var outerScopeVar;
  setTimeout(function() {
    outerScopeVar = 'Hello asynchronous world!';
  }, 0);
  return outerScopeVar;
}
console.log(getMessage());

undefined gets logged in this case because getMessage returns before the setTimeout callback is called and updates outerScopeVar.

The two main ways to solve it are using callbacks and promises:

Callbacks

The change here is that getMessage accepts a callback parameter that will be called to deliver the results back to the calling code once available.

function getMessage(callback) {
  setTimeout(function() {
    callback('Hello asynchronous world!');
  }, 0);
}
getMessage(function(message) {
  console.log(message);
});

Promises

Promises provide an alternative which is more flexible than callbacks because they can be naturally combined to coordinate multiple async operations. A Promises/A+ standard implementation is natively provided in node.js (0.12+) and many current browsers, but is also implemented in libraries like Bluebird and Q.

function getMessage() {
  return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
    setTimeout(function() {
      resolve('Hello asynchronous world!');
    }, 0);
  });
}

getMessage().then(function(message) {
  console.log(message);  
});

jQuery Deferreds

jQuery provides functionality that's similar to promises with its Deferreds.

function getMessage() {
  var deferred = $.Deferred();
  setTimeout(function() {
    deferred.resolve('Hello asynchronous world!');
  }, 0);
  return deferred.promise();
}

getMessage().done(function(message) {
  console.log(message);  
});

async/await

If your JavaScript environment includes support for async and await (like Node.js 7.6+), then you can use promises synchronously within async functions:

function getMessage () {
    return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
        setTimeout(function() {
            resolve('Hello asynchronous world!');
        }, 0);
    });
}

async function main() {
    let message = await getMessage();
    console.log(message);
}

main();

How to dynamically change a web page's title?

You can use JavaScript. Some bots, including Google, will execute the JavaScript for the benefit of SEO (showing the correct title in the SERP).

document.title = "Google will run this JS and show the title in the search results!";

However, this is more complex since you are showing and hiding tabs without refreshing the page or changing the URL. Maybe adding an anchor will help as stated by others. I may need to retract my answer.

Articles showing positive results: http://www.aukseo.co.uk/use-javascript-to-generate-seo-friendly-title-tags-1275/ http://www.ifinity.com.au/2012/10/04/Changing_a_Page_Title_with_Javascript_to_update_a_Google_SERP_Entry

Don't always assume a bot won't execute JavaScript. http://searchengineland.com/tested-googlebot-crawls-javascript-heres-learned-220157 Google and other search engines know that the best results to index are the results that the actual end user will see in their browser, including JavaScript.

Remove a cookie

I had the same problem in my code and found that it was a cookie path issue. Check out this stack overflow post: Can't delete php set cookie

I had set the cookie using a path value of "/", but didn't have any path value when I tried to clear it, so it didn't clear. So here is an example of what worked:

Setting the cookie:

$cookiePath = "/";
$cookieExpire = time()+(60*60*24);//one day -> seconds*minutes*hours
setcookie("CookieName",$cookieValue,$cookieExpire,$cookiePath);

Clearing the cookie:

setcookie("cookieName","", time()-3600, $cookiePath);
unset ($_COOKIE['cookieName']);

Hope that helps.

It does however use javascript, but it is simple and easy to use code that will fix your problem.

How does the SQL injection from the "Bobby Tables" XKCD comic work?

A single quote is the start and end of a string. A semicolon is the end of a statement. So if they were doing a select like this:

Select *
From Students
Where (Name = '<NameGetsInsertedHere>')

The SQL would become:

Select *
From Students
Where (Name = 'Robert'); DROP TABLE STUDENTS; --')
--             ^-------------------------------^

On some systems, the select would get ran first followed by the drop statement! The message is: DONT EMBED VALUES INTO YOUR SQL. Instead use parameters!

Making a div vertically scrollable using CSS

The problem with all of these answers for me was they weren't responsive. I had to have a fixed height for a parent div which i didn't want. I also didn't want to spend a ton of time dinking around with media queries. If you are using angular, you can use bootstraps tabset and it will do all of the hard work for you. You'll be able to scroll the inner content and it will be responsive. When you setup the tab, do it like this: $scope.tab = { title: '', url: '', theclass: '', ative: true }; ... the point is, you don't want a title or image icon. then hide the outline of the tab in cs like this:

.nav-tabs {
   border-bottom:none; 
} 

and also this .nav-tabs > li.active > a, .nav-tabs > li.active > a:hover, .nav-tabs > li.active > a:focus {border:none;} and finally to remove the invisible tab that you can still click on if you don't implement this: .nav > li > a {padding:0px;margin:0px;}

Correct way to handle conditional styling in React

If you prefer to use a class name, by all means use a class name.

className={completed ? 'text-strike' : null}

You may also find the classnames package helpful. With it, your code would look like this:

className={classNames({ 'text-strike': completed })}

There's no "correct" way to do conditional styling. Do whatever works best for you. For myself, I prefer to avoid inline styling and use classes in the manner just described.

POSTSCRIPT [06-AUG-2019]

Whilst it remains true that React is unopinionated about styling, these days I would recommend a CSS-in-JS solution; namely styled components or emotion. If you're new to React, stick to CSS classes or inline styles to begin with. But once you're comfortable with React I recommend adopting one of these libraries. I use them in every project.

Propagation Delay vs Transmission delay

Transmission Delay : Amount of time required to pump all bits/packets into the electric wire/optic fibre.

Propagation delay : It's the amount of time needed for a packet to reach the destination.

If propagation delay is very high than transmission delay the chance of losing the packet is high.

Apache Prefork vs Worker MPM

Apache has 2 types of MPM (Multi-Processing Modules) defined:

1:Prefork 2: Worker

By default, Apacke is configured in preforked mode i.e. non-threaded pre-forking web server. That means that each Apache child process contains a single thread and handles one request at a time. Because of that, it consumes more resources.

Apache also has the worker MPM that turns Apache into a multi-process, multi-threaded web server. Worker MPM uses multiple child processes with many threads each.

ax1 = fig.add_subplot(311)
ax1.plot([1,2,3])
ax1.set_title("ax1")

ax2 = fig.add_subplot(312)
ax2.plot([1,2,3])
ax2.set_title("ax2")

ax3 = fig.add_subplot(313)
ax3.plot([1,2,3])
ax3.set_title("ax3")

fig.tight_layout()

# shift subplots down:
st.set_y(0.95)
fig.subplots_adjust(top=0.85)

fig.savefig("test.png")

gives:

What is a Windows Handle?

A handle is like a primary key value of a record in a database.

Rendering raw html with reactjs

There are now safer methods to render HTML. I covered this in a previous answer here. You have 4 options, the last uses dangerouslySetInnerHTML.

Methods for rendering HTML

  1. Easiest - Use Unicode, save the file as UTF-8 and set the charset to UTF-8.

    <div>{'First · Second'}</div>

  2. Safer - Use the Unicode number for the entity inside a Javascript string.

    <div>{'First \u00b7 Second'}</div>

    or

    <div>{'First ' + String.fromCharCode(183) + ' Second'}</div>

  3. Or a mixed array with strings and JSX elements.

    <div>{['First ', <span>&middot;</span>, ' Second']}</div>

  4. Last Resort - Insert raw HTML using dangerouslySetInnerHTML.

    <div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{__html: 'First &middot; Second'}} />

How to show uncommitted changes in Git and some Git diffs in detail

filter out multiple criteria using excel vba

I think (from experimenting - MSDN is unhelpful here) that there is no direct way of doing this. Setting Criteria1 to an Array is equivalent to using the tick boxes in the dropdown - as you say it will only filter a list based on items that match one of those in the array.

Interestingly, if you have the literal values "<>A" and "<>B" in the list and filter on these the macro recorder comes up with

Range.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="=<>A", Operator:=xlOr, Criteria2:="=<>B"

which works. But if you then have the literal value "<>C" as well and you filter for all three (using tick boxes) while recording a macro, the macro recorder replicates precisely your code which then fails with an error. I guess I'd call that a bug - there are filters you can do using the UI which you can't do with VBA.

Anyway, back to your problem. It is possible to filter values not equal to some criteria, but only up to two values which doesn't work for you:

Range("$A$1:$A$9").AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="<>A", Criteria2:="<>B", Operator:=xlAnd

There are a couple of workarounds possible depending on the exact problem:

  1. Use a "helper column" with a formula in column B and then filter on that - e.g. =ISNUMBER(A2) or =NOT(A2="A", A2="B", A2="C") then filter on TRUE
  2. If you can't add a column, use autofilter with Criteria1:=">-65535" (or a suitable number lower than any you expect) which will filter out non-numeric values - assuming this is what you want
  3. Write a VBA sub to hide rows (not exactly the same as an autofilter but it may suffice depending on your needs).

For example:

Public Sub hideABCRows(rangeToFilter As Range)
  Dim oCurrentCell As Range
  On Error GoTo errHandler

  Application.ScreenUpdating = False
  For Each oCurrentCell In rangeToFilter.Cells
    If oCurrentCell.Value = "A" Or oCurrentCell.Value = "B" Or oCurrentCell.Value = "C" Then
      oCurrentCell.EntireRow.Hidden = True
    End If
  Next oCurrentCell

  Application.ScreenUpdating = True
  Exit Sub

errHandler:
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

How to negate 'isblank' function

If you're trying to just count how many of your cells in a range are not blank try this:

=COUNTA(range)

Example: (assume that it starts from A1 downwards):

---------    
Something 
---------
Something
---------

---------
Something
---------

---------
Something
---------

=COUNTA(A1:A6) returns 4 since there are two blank cells in there.

The Form submission algorithm explicitly says that validation is not performed when the form is submitted via the submit() method. Apparently, the idea is that if you submit a form via JavaScript, you are supposed to do validation.

However, you can request (static) form validation against the constraints defined by HTML5 attributes, using the checkValidity() method. If you would like to display the same error messages as the browser would do in HTML5 form validation, I’m afraid you would need to check all the constrained fields, since the validityMessage property is a property of fields (controls), not the form. In the case of a single constrained field, as in the case presented, this is trivial of course:

function submitform() {
  var f = document.getElementsByTagName('form')[0];
  if(f.checkValidity()) {
    f.submit();
  } else {
    alert(document.getElementById('example').validationMessage);
  }
}

exec failed because the name not a valid identifier?

Try this instead in the end:

exec (@query)

If you do not have the brackets, SQL Server assumes the value of the variable to be a stored procedure name.

OR

EXECUTE sp_executesql @query

And it should not be because of FULL JOIN.
But I hope you have already created the temp tables: #TrafficFinal, #TrafficFinal2, #TrafficFinal3 before this.


Please note that there are performance considerations between using EXEC and sp_executesql. Because sp_executesql uses forced statement caching like an sp.
More details here.


On another note, is there a reason why you are using dynamic sql for this case, when you can use the query as is, considering you are not doing any query manipulations and executing it the way it is?

Remove 'standalone="yes"' from generated XML

If you make document dependent on DOCTYPE (e.g. use named entities) then it will stop being standalone, thus standalone="yes" won't be allowed in XML declaration.

However standalone XML can be used anywhere, while non-standalone is problematic for XML parsers that don't load externals.

I don't see how this declaration could be a problem, other than for interoperability with software that doesn't support XML, but some horrible regex soup.

Can Android Studio be used to run standard Java projects?

EDIT: many moon after this question was asked, yes, now apparently you can.

No, but it's based on Intellij IDEA.

The community version of that is free for download but it doesn't support most things requiring an external database or application server. The line for Java is pretty much that JavaSE code can happily use Community.

If you want that (or are using JavaEE) then you either need the Ultimate version, which isn't free, or the EAP of the next version which is usually good for a month until they release another.

Basically it works like this

Android Studio is just Android the Android Stuff from IDEA 13 Community...

...which will be free, and is anything from IDEA 13 Ultimate...

...that doesn't require a database or app server.

http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/

IDEA 12 Community doesn't have the ability to import the gradilized project and it won't, so while you can do Android development in it now (I do), don't expect it to have the same features as Android Studio. There's a lot of good new Android stuff in it, that's going into 13.

How to get parameters from the URL with JSP

String accountID = request.getParameter("accountID");

Create a new object from type parameter in generic class

Because the compiled JavaScript has all the type information erased, you can't use T to new up an object.

You can do this in a non-generic way by passing the type into the constructor.

class TestOne {
    hi() {
        alert('Hi');
    }
}

class TestTwo {
    constructor(private testType) {

    }
    getNew() {
        return new this.testType();
    }
}

var test = new TestTwo(TestOne);

var example = test.getNew();
example.hi();

You could extend this example using generics to tighten up the types:

class TestBase {
    hi() {
        alert('Hi from base');
    }
}

class TestSub extends TestBase {
    hi() {
        alert('Hi from sub');
    }
}

class TestTwo<T extends TestBase> {
    constructor(private testType: new () => T) {
    }

    getNew() : T {
        return new this.testType();
    }
}

//var test = new TestTwo<TestBase>(TestBase);
var test = new TestTwo<TestSub>(TestSub);

var example = test.getNew();
example.hi();

CSS transition when class removed

Basically set up your css like:

element {
  border: 1px solid #fff;      
  transition: border .5s linear;
}

element.saved {
  border: 1px solid transparent;
}

How to sync with a remote Git repository?

Java ArrayList Index

In order to store Strings in an dynamic array (add-method) you can't define it as an array of integers ( int[3] ). You should declare it like this:

ArrayList<String> alist = new ArrayList<String>();
alist.add("apple"); 
alist.add("banana"); 
alist.add("orange"); 

System.out.println( alist.get(1) );

How to get these two divs side-by-side?

Since div's by default are block elements - meaning they will occupy full available width, try using -

display:inline-block;

The div is now rendered inline i.e. does not disrupt flow of elements, but will still be treated as a block element.

I find this technique easier than wrestling with floats.

See this tutorial for more - http://learnlayout.com/inline-block.html. I would recommend even the previous articles that lead up to that one. (No, I did not write it)

How do I request a file but not save it with Wget?

You can use -O- (uppercase o) to redirect content to the stdout (standard output) or to a file (even special files like /dev/null /dev/stderr /dev/stdout )

wget -O- http://yourdomain.com

Or:

wget -O- http://yourdomain.com > /dev/null

Or: (same result as last command)

wget -O/dev/null http://yourdomain.com

What is the best way to manage a user's session in React?

I would avoid using component state since this could be difficult to manage and prone to issues that can be difficult to troubleshoot.

You should use either cookies or localStorage for persisting a user's session data. You can also use a closure as a wrapper around your cookie or localStorage data.

Here is a simple example of a UserProfile closure that will hold the user's name.

var UserProfile = (function() {
  var full_name = "";

  var getName = function() {
    return full_name;    // Or pull this from cookie/localStorage
  };

  var setName = function(name) {
    full_name = name;     
    // Also set this in cookie/localStorage
  };

  return {
    getName: getName,
    setName: setName
  }

})();

export default UserProfile;

When a user logs in, you can populate this object with user name, email address etc.

import UserProfile from './UserProfile';

UserProfile.setName("Some Guy");

Then you can get this data from any component in your app when needed.

import UserProfile from './UserProfile';

UserProfile.getName();

Using a closure will keep data outside of the global namespace, and make it is easily accessible from anywhere in your app.

html - table row like a link

If you have to use a table, you can put a link into each table cell:

<table>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <td><a href="person1.html">John Smith</a></td>
      <td><a href="person1.html">123 Fake St</a></td>
      <td><a href="person1.html">90210</a></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td><a href="person2.html">Peter Nguyen</a></td>
      <td><a href="person2.html">456 Elm Ave</a></td>
      <td><a href="person2.html">90210</a></td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

And make the links fill up the entire cells:

table tbody tr td a {
  display: block;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
}

If you are able to use <div>s instead of a table, your HTML can be a lot simpler, and you won't get "gaps" in the links, between the table cells:

<div class="myTable">
  <a href="person1.html">
    <span>John Smith</span>
    <span>123 Fake St</span>
    <span>90210</span>
  </a>
  <a href="person2.html">
    <span>Peter Nguyen</span>
    <span>456 Elm Ave</span>
    <span>90210</span>
  </a>
</div>

Here is the CSS that goes with the <div> method:

.myTable {
  display: table;
}
.myTable a {
  display: table-row;
}
.myTable a span {
  display: table-cell;
  padding: 2px; /* this line not really needed */
}

Setting Oracle 11g Session Timeout

I came to this question looking for a way to enable oracle session pool expiration based on total session lifetime instead of idle time. Another goal is to avoid force closes unexpected to application.

It seems it's possible by setting pool validation query to

select 1 from V$SESSION 
where AUDSID = userenv('SESSIONID') and sysdate-LOGON_TIME < 30/24/60

This would close sessions aging over 30 minutes in predictable manner that doesn't affect application.

How do I check if a SQL Server text column is empty?

I wanted to have a predefined text("No Labs Available") to be displayed if the value was null or empty and my friend helped me with this:

StrengthInfo = CASE WHEN ((SELECT COUNT(UnitsOrdered) FROM [Data_Sub_orders].[dbo].[Snappy_Orders_Sub] WHERE IdPatient = @PatientId and IdDrugService = 226)> 0)
                            THEN cast((S.UnitsOrdered) as varchar(50))
                    ELSE 'No Labs Available'
                    END

How to get UTF-8 working in Java webapps?

Faced the same issue on Spring MVC 5 + Tomcat 9 + JSP.
After the long research, came to an elegant solution (no need filters and no need changes in the Tomcat server.xml (starting from 8.0.0-RC3 version))

  1. In the WebMvcConfigurer implementation set default encoding for messageSource (for reading data from messages source files in the UTF-8 encoding.

    @Configuration
    @EnableWebMvc
    @ComponentScan("{package.with.components}")
    public class WebApplicationContextConfig implements WebMvcConfigurer {
    
        @Bean
        public MessageSource messageSource() {
            final ResourceBundleMessageSource messageSource = new ResourceBundleMessageSource();
    
            messageSource.setBasenames("messages");
            messageSource.setDefaultEncoding("UTF-8");
    
            return messageSource;
        }
    
        /* other beans and methods */
    
    }
    
  2. In the DispatcherServletInitializer implementation @Override the onStartup method and set request and resource character encoding in it.

    public class DispatcherServletInitializer extends AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer {
    
        @Override
        public void onStartup(final ServletContext servletContext) throws ServletException {
    
            // https://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/CharacterEncoding
            servletContext.setRequestCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
            servletContext.setResponseCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
    
            super.onStartup(servletContext);
        }
    
        /* servlet mappings, root and web application configs, other methods */
    
    }
    
  3. Save all message source and view files in UTF-8 encoding.

  4. Add <%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" %> or <%@ page pageEncoding="UTF-8" %> in each *.jsp file or add jsp-config descriptor to web.xml

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
     xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd"
     id="WebApp_ID" version="3.0">
        <display-name>AppName</display-name>
    
        <jsp-config>
            <jsp-property-group>
                <url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
                <page-encoding>UTF-8</page-encoding>
            </jsp-property-group>
        </jsp-config>
    </web-app>
    

setState(...): Can only update a mounted or mounting component. This usually means you called setState() on an unmounted component. This is a no-op

I encountered this issue because I used setState instead of state in the constructor.

EXAMPLE

Change the following incorrect code

constructor(props) {
  super(props);
  this.setState({
    key: ''
  });
}

to

constructor(props) {
  super(props);
  this.state = {
    key: ''
  }; 
}

How to set cellpadding and cellspacing in table with CSS?

Use padding on the cells and border-spacing on the table. The former will give you cellpadding while the latter will give you cellspacing.

table { border-spacing: 5px; } /* cellspacing */

th, td { padding: 5px; } /* cellpadding */

Difference between classification and clustering in data mining?

Machine Learning or AI is largely perceived by the task it Performs/achieves.

In my opinion, by thinking about Clustering and Classification in notion of task they achieve can really help to understand the difference between the two.

Clustering is to Group things and Classification is to, kind of, label things.

Let's assume you are in a party hall where all men are in Suits and women are in Gowns.

Now, you ask your friend few questions:

Q1: Heyy, can you help me group people?

Possible answers that your friend can give are:

1: He can group people based on Gender, Male or Female

2: He can group people based on their clothes, 1 wearing suits other wearing gowns

3: He can group people based on color of their hairs

4: He can group people based on their age group, etc. etc. etc.

Their are numerous ways your friend can complete this task.

Of course, you can influence his decision making process by providing extra inputs like:

Can you help me group these people based on gender (or age group, or hair color or dress etc.)

Q2:

Before Q2, you need to do some pre-work.

You have to teach or inform your friend so that he can take informed decision. So, let's say you said to your friend that:

  • People with long hair are Women.

  • People with short hair are Men.

Q2. Now, you point out to a Person with long hair and ask your friend - Is it a Man or a Woman?

The only answer that you can expect is: Woman.

Of course, there can be men with long hairs and women with short hairs in the party. But, the answer is correct based on the learning you provided to your friend. You can further improve the process by teaching more to your friend on how to differentiate between the two.

In above example,

Q1 represents the task what Clustering achieves.

In Clustering you provide the data(people) to the algorithm(your friend) and ask it to group the data.

Now, it's up to algorithm to decide what's the best way to group is? (Gender, Color or age group).

Again,you can definitely influence the decision made by the algorithm by providing extra inputs.

Q2 represents the task Classification achieves.

There, you give your algorithm(your friend) some data(People), called as Training data, and made him learn which data corresponds to which label(Male or Female). Then you point your algorithm to certain data, called as Test data, and ask it to determine whether it is Male or Female. The better your teaching is, the better it's prediction.

And the Pre-work in Q2 or Classification is nothing but just training your model so that it can learn how to differentiate. In Clustering or Q1 this pre-work is the part of grouping.

Hope this helps someone.

How to split a file into equal parts, without breaking individual lines?

If you mean an equal number of lines, split has an option for this:

split --lines=75

If you need to know what that 75 should really be for N equal parts, its:

lines_per_part = int(total_lines + N - 1) / N

where total lines can be obtained with wc -l.

See the following script for an example:

#!/usr/bin/bash

# Configuration stuff

fspec=qq.c
num_files=6

# Work out lines per file.

total_lines=$(wc -l <${fspec})
((lines_per_file = (total_lines + num_files - 1) / num_files))

# Split the actual file, maintaining lines.

split --lines=${lines_per_file} ${fspec} xyzzy.

# Debug information

echo "Total lines     = ${total_lines}"
echo "Lines  per file = ${lines_per_file}"    
wc -l xyzzy.*

This outputs:

Total lines     = 70
Lines  per file = 12
  12 xyzzy.aa
  12 xyzzy.ab
  12 xyzzy.ac
  12 xyzzy.ad
  12 xyzzy.ae
  10 xyzzy.af
  70 total

More recent versions of split allow you to specify a number of CHUNKS with the -n/--number option. You can therefore use something like:

split --number=l/6 ${fspec} xyzzy.

(that's ell-slash-six, meaning lines, not one-slash-six).

That will give you roughly equal files in terms of size, with no mid-line splits.

I mention that last point because it doesn't give you roughly the same number of lines in each file, more the same number of characters.

So, if you have one 20-character line and 19 1-character lines (twenty lines in total) and split to five files, you most likely won't get four lines in every file.

How to find serial number of Android device?

Build.SERIAL is the simplest way to go, although not entirely reliable as it can be empty or sometimes return a different value (proof 1, proof 2) than what you can see in your device's settings.

There are several ways to get that number depending on the device's manufacturer and Android version, so I decided to compile every possible solution I could found in a single gist. Here's a simplified version of it :

public static String getSerialNumber() {
    String serialNumber;

    try {
        Class<?> c = Class.forName("android.os.SystemProperties");
        Method get = c.getMethod("get", String.class);

        serialNumber = (String) get.invoke(c, "gsm.sn1");
        if (serialNumber.equals(""))
            serialNumber = (String) get.invoke(c, "ril.serialnumber");
        if (serialNumber.equals(""))
            serialNumber = (String) get.invoke(c, "ro.serialno");
        if (serialNumber.equals(""))
            serialNumber = (String) get.invoke(c, "sys.serialnumber");
        if (serialNumber.equals(""))
            serialNumber = Build.SERIAL;

        // If none of the methods above worked
        if (serialNumber.equals(""))
            serialNumber = null;
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        serialNumber = null;
    }

    return serialNumber;
}

Open a workbook using FileDialog and manipulate it in Excel VBA

Unless I misunderstand your question, you can just open a file read only. Here is a simply example, without any checks.

To get the file path from the user use this function:

Private Function get_user_specified_filepath() As String
    'or use the other code example here.
    Dim fd As Office.FileDialog
    Set fd = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
    fd.AllowMultiSelect = False
    fd.Title = "Please select the file."
    get_user_specified_filepath = fd.SelectedItems(1)
End Function

Then just open the file read only and assign it to a variable:

dim wb as workbook
set wb = Workbooks.Open(get_user_specified_filepath(), ReadOnly:=True)

All the answers above are correct, What I prefer is to use tui mode (ctrl+X A or 'tui enable') which shows your location and the function in a separate window which is very helpful for the users. Hope that helps too.

libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile

To add to Glenn's great answer, here's what I did to find which files were faulty:

find . -name "*.png" -type f -print0 | xargs \
       -0 pngcrush_1_8_8_w64.exe -n -q > pngError.txt 2>&1

I used the find and xargs because pngcrush could not handle lots of arguments (which were returned by **/*.png). The -print0 and -0 is required to handle file names containing spaces.

Then search in the output for these lines: iCCP: Not recognizing known sRGB profile that has been edited.

./Installer/Images/installer_background.png:    
Total length of data found in critical chunks            =     11286  
pngcrush: iCCP: Not recognizing known sRGB profile that has been edited

And for each of those, run mogrify on it to fix them.

mogrify ./Installer/Images/installer_background.png

Doing this prevents having a commit changing every single png file in the repository when only a few have actually been modified. Plus it has the advantage to show exactly which files were faulty.

I tested this on Windows with a Cygwin console and a zsh shell. Thanks again to Glenn who put most of the above, I'm just adding an answer as it's usually easier to find than comments :)

How to check which PHP extensions have been enabled/disabled in Ubuntu Linux 12.04 LTS?

Checking for installed php modules and packages

In addition to running

php -m

to get the list of installed php modules, you will probably find it helpful to get the list of the currently installed php packages in Ubuntu:

sudo dpkg --get-selections | grep -v deinstall | grep php

This is helpful since Ubuntu makes php modules available via packages.

You can then install the needed modules by selecting from the available Ubuntu php packages, which you can view by running:

sudo apt-cache search php | grep "^php5-"

Or, for Ubuntu 16.04 and higher:

sudo apt-cache search php | grep "^php7"

As you have mentioned, there is plenty of information available on the actual installation of the packages that you might require, so I won't go into detail about that here.

Related: Enabling / disabling installed php modules

It is possible that an installed module has been disabled. In that case, it won't show up when running php -m, but it will show up in the list of installed Ubuntu packages.

Modules can be enabled/disabled via the php5enmod tool (phpenmod on later distros) which is part of the php-common package.

Ubuntu 12.04:

Enabled modules are symlinked in /etc/php5/conf.d

Ubuntu 12.04: (with PHP 5.4+)

To enable an installed module:

php5enmod <modulename>

To disable an installed module:

php5dismod <modulename>

Ubuntu 16.04 (php7) and higher:

To enable an installed module:

phpenmod <modulename>

To disable an installed module:

phpdismod <modulename>

Reload Apache

Remember to reload Apache2 after enabling/disabling:

How can I do width = 100% - 100px in CSS?

There are 2 techniques which can come in handy for this common scenario. Each have their drawbacks but can both be useful at times.

box-sizing: border-box includes padding and border width in the width of an item. For example, if you set the width of a div with 20px 20px padding and 1px border to 100px, the actual width would be 142px but with border-box, both padding and margin are inside the 100px.

.bb{
    -webkit-box-sizing: border-box; /* Safari/Chrome, other WebKit */
    -moz-box-sizing: border-box;    /* Firefox, other Gecko */
    box-sizing: border-box;     
    width: 100%;
    height:200px;
    padding: 50px;
}

Here's an excellent article on it: http://css-tricks.com/box-sizing/ and here's a fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/L3Rvw/

And then there's position: absolute

.padded{
    position: absolute;
    top: 50px;
    right: 50px;
    left: 50px;
    bottom: 50px;
    background-color: #aefebc;
}

Neither are perfect of course, box-sizing doesn't exactly fit the question as the element is actually 100% width, rather than 100% - 100px (however a child div would be). And absolute positioning definitely can't be used in every situation, but is usually okay as long as the parent height is set.

Can a Windows batch file determine its own file name?

Bear in mind that 0 is a special case of parameter numbers inside a batch file, where 0 means this file as given on the command line.

So if the file is myfile.bat, you could call it in several ways as follows, each of which would give you a different output from the %0 or %~0 usage:

myfile

myfile.bat

mydir\myfile.bat

c:\mydir\myfile.bat

"c:\mydir\myfile.bat"

All of the above are legal calls if you call it from the correct relative place to the directory in which it exists. %~0 strips the quotes from the last example, whereas %0 does not.

Because these all give different results, %0 and %~0 are very unlikely to be what you actually want to use.

Here's a batch file to illustrate:

@echo Full path and filename: %~f0
@echo Drive: %~d0
@echo Path: %~p0
@echo Drive and path: %~dp0
@echo Filename without extension: %~n0
@echo Filename with    extension: %~nx0
@echo Extension: %~x0
@echo Filename as given on command line: %0
@echo Filename as given on command line minus quotes: %~0
@REM Build from parts
@SETLOCAL
@SET drv=%~d0
@SET pth=%~p0
@SET fpath=%~dp0
@SET fname=%~n0
@SET ext=%~x0
@echo Simply Constructed name: %fpath%%fname%%ext%
@echo Fully  Constructed name: %drv%%pth%%fname%%ext%
@ENDLOCAL
pause

How to do a timer in Angular 5

This may be overkill for what you're looking for, but there is an npm package called marky that you can use to do this. It gives you a couple of extra features beyond just starting and stopping a timer. You just need to install it via npm and then import the dependency anywhere you'd like to use it. Here is a link to the npm package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/marky

An example of use after installing via npm would be as follows:

import * as _M from 'marky';

@Component({
 selector: 'app-test',
 templateUrl: './test.component.html',
 styleUrls: ['./test.component.scss']
})

export class TestComponent implements OnInit {
 Marky = _M;
}

constructor() {}

ngOnInit() {}

startTimer(key: string) {
 this.Marky.mark(key);
}

stopTimer(key: string) {
 this.Marky.stop(key);
}

key is simply a string which you are establishing to identify that particular measurement of time. You can have multiple measures which you can go back and reference your timer stats using the keys you create.

Purge Kafka Topic

UPDATE: This answer is relevant for Kafka 0.6. For Kafka 0.8 and later see answer by @Patrick.

Yes, stop kafka and manually delete all files from corresponding subdirectory (it's easy to find it in kafka data directory). After kafka restart the topic will be empty.

What is Ruby's double-colon `::`?

Ruby on rails uses :: for namespace resolution.

class User < ActiveRecord::Base

  VIDEOS_COUNT = 10
  Languages = { "English" => "en", "Spanish" => "es", "Mandarin Chinese" => "cn"}

end

To use it :

User::VIDEOS_COUNT
User::Languages
User::Languages.values_at("Spanish") => "en"

Also, other usage is : When using nested routes

OmniauthCallbacksController is defined under users.

And routed as:

devise_for :users, controllers: {omniauth_callbacks: "users/omniauth_callbacks"}


class Users::OmniauthCallbacksController < Devise::OmniauthCallbacksController

end

How to convert an int to a hex string?

SQL JOIN and different types of JOINs

I have created an illustration that explains better than words, in my opinion: SQL Join table of explanation

Xpath: select div that contains class AND whose specific child element contains text

To find a div of a certain class that contains a span at any depth containing certain text, try:

//div[contains(@class, 'measure-tab') and contains(.//span, 'someText')]

That said, this solution looks extremely fragile. If the table happens to contain a span with the text you're looking for, the div containing the table will be matched, too. I'd suggest to find a more robust way of filtering the elements. For example by using IDs or top-level document structure.
