Downloading MySQL dump from command line

For Windows users you can go to your mysql folder to run the command

e.g.

cd c:\wamp64\bin\mysql\mysql5.7.26\bin
mysqldump -u root -p databasename > dbname_dump.sql

How to do joins in LINQ on multiple fields in single join

you could do something like (below)

var query = from p in context.T1

        join q in context.T2

        on

        new { p.Col1, p.Col2 }

        equals

         new { q.Col1, q.Col2 }

        select new {p...., q......};

How to call a function within class?

That doesn't work because distToPoint is inside your class, so you need to prefix it with the classname if you want to refer to it, like this: classname.distToPoint(self, p). You shouldn't do it like that, though. A better way to do it is to refer to the method directly through the class instance (which is the first argument of a class method), like so: self.distToPoint(p).

String "true" and "false" to boolean

I don't think anything like that is built-in in Ruby. You can reopen String class and add to_bool method there:

class String
    def to_bool
        return true if self=="true"
        return false if self=="false"
        return nil
    end
end

Then you can use it anywhere in your project, like this: params[:internal].to_bool

How to Calculate Execution Time of a Code Snippet in C++

I created a lambda that calls you function call N times and returns you the average.

double c = BENCHMARK_CNT(25, fillVectorDeque(variable));

You can find the c++11 header here.

Update query with PDO and MySQL

Your update syntax is incorrect. Please check Update Syntax for the correct syntax.

$sql = "UPDATE `access_users` set `contact_first_name` = :firstname,  `contact_surname` = :surname, `contact_email` = :email, `telephone` = :telephone";

What data type to use for money in Java?

For simple case (one currency) it'is enough int/long. Keep money in cents (...) or hundredth / thousandth of cents (any precision you need with fixed divider)

CSS table-cell equal width

This can be done by setting table-cell style to width: auto, and content empty. The columns are now equal-wide, but holding no content.

To insert content to the cell, add an div with css:

position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;

You also need to add position: relative to the cells.

Now you can put the actual content into the div talked above.

javascript onclick increment number

Yes! You can definitely use onclick or you can also use addEventListener to listen a click event. In this code sample the onclick event is in action(use).

HTML code:

<div class="container">
<p><output id="output">0</output></p>
<p><button type="button" id="btn">Increment</button></p>
</div>

Javascript code:

(function() {
 var button = document.getElementById("btn")
 var output = document.getElementById("output")
 var number
 var counter
 

 function init() {
 // Convert string to primitve number using parseInt()
  number = parseInt(output.innerText)
  
 /**
 * Start counter by adding any number to start counting.
 * In this case the output starts from 0 so to immediately
 * invoke the button to increment the counter add 1 to start 
 * counting in natural number (counting numbers).
 */  counter = number + 1
  
  function increment() {
    // Increment counter
    value = counter++
    output.innerText = value
   }
  
   // Output the increment value for every click
    button.onclick = increment
 }

 window.onload = init
})()

How to enable core dump in my Linux C++ program

You need to set ulimit -c. If you have 0 for this parameter a coredump file is not created. So do this: ulimit -c unlimited and check if everything is correct ulimit -a. The coredump file is created when an application has done for example something inappropriate. The name of the file on my system is core.<process-pid-here>.

Difference between VARCHAR2(10 CHAR) and NVARCHAR2(10)

The NVARCHAR2 datatype was introduced by Oracle for databases that want to use Unicode for some columns while keeping another character set for the rest of the database (which uses VARCHAR2). The NVARCHAR2 is a Unicode-only datatype.

One reason you may want to use NVARCHAR2 might be that your DB uses a non-Unicode character set and you still want to be able to store Unicode data for some columns without changing the primary character set. Another reason might be that you want to use two Unicode character set (AL32UTF8 for data that comes mostly from western Europe, AL16UTF16 for data that comes mostly from Asia for example) because different character sets won't store the same data equally efficiently.

Both columns in your example (Unicode VARCHAR2(10 CHAR) and NVARCHAR2(10)) would be able to store the same data, however the byte storage will be different. Some strings may be stored more efficiently in one or the other.

Note also that some features won't work with NVARCHAR2, see this SO question:

Java: Enum parameter in method

I like this a lot better. reduces the if/switch, just do.

private enum Alignment { LEFT, RIGHT;

void process() {
//Process it...
} 
};    
String drawCellValue (int maxCellLength, String cellValue, Alignment align){
  align.process();
}

of course, it can be:

String process(...) {
//Process it...
} 

How can we run a test method with multiple parameters in MSTest?

This feature is in pre-release now and works with Visual Studio 2015.

For example:

    [DataRow(1, 2, 2)]
    [DataRow(2, 3, 5)]
    [DataRow(3, 5, 8)]
    public void AdditionTest(int a, int b, int result)
    {
        Assert.AreEqual(result, a + b);
    }
}

How can get the text of a div tag using only javascript (no jQuery)

Because textContent is not supported in IE8 and older, here is a workaround:

var node = document.getElementById('test'),
var text  = node.textContent || node.innerText;
alert(text);

innerText does work in IE.

convert string to char*

First of all, you would have to allocate memory:

char * S = new char[R.length() + 1];

then you can use strcpy with S and R.c_str():

std::strcpy(S,R.c_str());

You can also use R.c_str() if the string doesn't get changed or the c string is only used once. However, if S is going to be modified, you should copy the string, as writing to R.c_str() results in undefined behavior.

Note: Instead of strcpy you can also use str::copy.

How do I get sed to read from standard input?

  1. Open the file using vi myfile.csv
  2. Press Escape
  3. Type :%s/replaceme/withthis/
  4. Type :wq and press Enter

Now you will have the new pattern in your file.

How to display alt text for an image in chrome

Yes it's an issue in webkit and also reported in chromium: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=773 It's there since 2008... and still not fixed!!

I'm using a piece of javacsript and jQuery to make my way around this.

function showAlt(){$(this).replaceWith(this.alt)};
function addShowAlt(selector){$(selector).error(showAlt).attr("src", $(selector).src)};
addShowAlt("img");

If you only want one some images:

addShowAlt("#myImgID");

How can I check MySQL engine type for a specific table?

Yet another way, perhaps the shortest to get status of a single or matched set of tables:

SHOW TABLE STATUS LIKE 'table';

You can then use LIKE operators for example:

SHOW TABLE STATUS LIKE 'field_data_%';

How to send email from Terminal?

What is the difference between Builder Design pattern and Factory Design pattern?

Many designs start by using Factory Method (less complicated and more customizable via subclasses) and evolve toward Abstract Factory, Prototype, or Builder (more ?exible, but more complicated).

Builder focuses on constructing complex objects step by step.

Implementing it:

  1. Clearly define the common construction steps for building all available product representations. Otherwise, you won’t be able to proceed with implementing the pattern.
  2. Declare these steps in the base builder interface.
  3. Create a concrete builder class for each of the product representations and implement their construction steps.

Abstract Factory specializes in creating families of related objects. Abstract Factory returns the product immediately, whereas Builder lets you run some additional construction steps before fetching the product.

You can use Abstract Factory along with Bridge. This pairing is useful when some abstractions defined by Bridge can only work with specific implementations. In this case, Abstract Factory can encapsulate these relations and hide the complexity from the client code.

How do SO_REUSEADDR and SO_REUSEPORT differ?

Mecki's answer is absolutly perfect, but it's worth adding that FreeBSD also supports SO_REUSEPORT_LB, which mimics Linux' SO_REUSEPORT behaviour - it balances the load; see setsockopt(2)

JQuery, setTimeout not working

This accomplishes the same thing but is much simpler:

$(document).ready(function() {  
   $("#board").delay(1000).append(".");
});

You can chain a delay before almost any jQuery method.

Way to run Excel macros from command line or batch file?

I'm partial to C#. I ran the following using linqpad. But it could just as easily be compiled with csc and ran through the called from the command line.

Don't forget to add excel packages to namespace.

void Main()
{
    var oExcelApp = (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application)System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetActiveObject("Excel.Application");
    try{
        var WB = oExcelApp.ActiveWorkbook;
        var WS = (Worksheet)WB.ActiveSheet;
        ((string)((Range)WS.Cells[1,1]).Value).Dump("Cell Value"); //cel A1 val
        oExcelApp.Run("test_macro_name").Dump("macro");
    }
    finally{
        if(oExcelApp != null)
            System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(oExcelApp);
        oExcelApp = null;
    }
}

alert a variable value

If you're using greasemonkey, it's possible the page isn't ready for the javascript yet. You may need to use window.onReady.

var inputs;

function doThisWhenReady() {
    inputs = document.getElementsByTagName('input');

    //Other code here...
}

window.onReady = doThisWhenReady;

How to change TextField's height and width?

Screenshot:

enter image description here

  return Container(
    margin: EdgeInsets.all(12),
    height: maxLines * 24.0,
    child: TextField(
      maxLines: maxLines,
      decoration: InputDecoration(
        hintText: "Enter a message",
        fillColor: Colors.grey[300],
        filled: true,
      ),
    ),
  );
}

How do I access an access array item by index in handlebars?

If undocumented features aren't your game, the same can be accomplished here:

Handlebars.registerHelper('index_of', function(context,ndx) {
  return context[ndx];
});

Then in a template

{{#index_of this 1}}{{/index_of}}   

I wrote the above before I got a hold of

this.[0]

I can't see one getting too far with handlebars without writing your own helpers.

Best way to check for IE less than 9 in JavaScript without library

for what it's worth:

    if(  document.addEventListener  ){
        alert("you got IE9 or greater");
    }

This successfully targets IE 9+ because the addEventListener method was supported very early on for every major browser but IE. (Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and Safari) MDN Reference. It is supported currently in IE9 and we can expect it to continue to be supported here on out.

Blur the edges of an image or background image with CSS

I'm not entirely sure what visual end result you're after, but here's an easy way to blur an image's edge: place a div with the image inside another div with the blurred image.

Working example here: http://jsfiddle.net/ZY5hn/1/

Screenshot

HTML:

<div class="placeholder">
     <!-- blurred background image for blurred edge -->
     <div class="bg-image-blur"></div>
     <!-- same image, no blur -->
     <div class="bg-image"></div>
     <!-- content -->
     <div class="content">Blurred Image Edges</div>
</div>

CSS:

.placeholder {
    margin-right: auto;
    margin-left:auto;
    margin-top: 20px;
    width: 200px;
    height: 200px;
    position: relative;
    /* this is the only relevant part for the example */
}
/* both DIVs have the same image */
 .bg-image-blur, .bg-image {
    background-image: url('http://lorempixel.com/200/200/city/9');
    position:absolute;
    top:0;
    left:0;
    width: 100%;
    height:100%;
}
/* blur the background, to make blurred edges that overflow the unblurred image that is on top */
 .bg-image-blur {
    -webkit-filter: blur(20px);
    -moz-filter: blur(20px);
    -o-filter: blur(20px);
    -ms-filter: blur(20px);
    filter: blur(20px);
}
/* I added this DIV in case you need to place content inside */
 .content {
    position: absolute;
    top:0;
    left:0;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    color: #fff;
    text-shadow: 0 0 3px #000;
    text-align: center;
    font-size: 30px;
}

Notice the blurred effect is using the image, so it changes with the image color.

I hope this helps.

Remove items from one list in another

You could use LINQ, but I would go with RemoveAll method. I think that is the one that better expresses your intent.

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

var remove = new List<int> { 1, 3, 5 };

integers.RemoveAll(i => remove.Contains(i));

AngularJS app.run() documentation?

Here's the calling order:

  1. app.config()
  2. app.run()
  3. directive's compile functions (if they are found in the dom)
  4. app.controller()
  5. directive's link functions (again, if found)

Here's a simple demo where you can watch each one executing (and experiment if you'd like).

From Angular's module docs:

Run blocks - get executed after the injector is created and are used to kickstart the application. Only instances and constants can be injected into run blocks. This is to prevent further system configuration during application run time.

Run blocks are the closest thing in Angular to the main method. A run block is the code which needs to run to kickstart the application. It is executed after all of the services have been configured and the injector has been created. Run blocks typically contain code which is hard to unit-test, and for this reason should be declared in isolated modules, so that they can be ignored in the unit-tests.

One situation where run blocks are used is during authentications.

Can you have multiline HTML5 placeholder text in a <textarea>?

If your textarea have a static width you can use combination of non-breaking space and automatic textarea wrapping. Just replace spaces to nbsp for every line and make sure that two neighbour lines can't fit into one. In practice line length > cols/2.

This isn't the best way, but could be the only cross-browser solution.

_x000D_
_x000D_
<textarea class="textAreaMultiligne" _x000D_
          placeholder="Hello,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This&nbsp;is&nbsp;multiligne&nbsp;example Have&nbsp;Fun&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"_x000D_
          rows="5" cols="35"></textarea>

Best Free Text Editor Supporting *More Than* 4GB Files?

f you just want to view a large file rather than edit it, there are a couple of freeware programs that read files a chunk at a time rather than trying to load the entire file in to memory. I use these when I need to read through large ( > 5 GB) files.

PHPExcel Make first row bold

$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getStyle("A1:".$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()->getHighestDataColumn()."1")->getFont()->setBold(true);

I found this to be a working solution, you can replace the two instances of 1 with the row number. The HighestDataColumn function returns for example C or Z, it gives you the last/highest column that's in the sheet containing any data. There is also getHighestColumn(), that one would include cells that are empty but have styling or are part of other functionality.

Call two functions from same onclick

You can create a single function that calls both of those, and then use it in the event.

function myFunction(){
    pay();
    cls();
}

And then, for the button:

<input id="btn" type="button" value="click" onclick="myFunction();"/>

How do I turn off the mysql password validation?

Building on the answer from Sharfi, edit the /etc/my.cnf file and add just this one line:

validate_password_policy=LOW

That should sufficiently neuter the validation as requested by the OP. You will probably want to restart mysqld after this change. Depending on your OS, it would look something like:

sudo service mysqld restart

validate_password_policy takes either values 0, 1, or 2 or words LOW, MEDIUM, and STRONG which correspond to those numbers. The default is MEDIUM (1) which requires passwords contain at least one upper case letter, one lower case letter, one digit, and one special character, and that the total password length is at least 8 characters. Changing to LOW as I suggest here then only will check for length, which if it hasn't been changed through other parameters will check for a length of 8. If you wanted to shorten that length limit too, you could also add validate_password_length in to the my.cnf file.

For more info about the levels and details, see the mysql doc.


For MySQL 8, the property has changed from "validate_password_policy" to "validate_password.policy". See the updated mysql doc for the latest info.

How to get the latest file in a folder?

(Edited to improve answer)

First define a function get_latest_file

def get_latest_file(path, *paths):
    fullpath = os.path.join(path, paths)
    ...
get_latest_file('example', 'files','randomtext011.*.txt')

You may also use a docstring !

def get_latest_file(path, *paths):
    """Returns the name of the latest (most recent) file 
    of the joined path(s)"""
    fullpath = os.path.join(path, *paths)

If you use Python 3, you can use iglob instead.

Complete code to return the name of latest file:

def get_latest_file(path, *paths):
    """Returns the name of the latest (most recent) file 
    of the joined path(s)"""
    fullpath = os.path.join(path, *paths)
    files = glob.glob(fullpath)  # You may use iglob in Python3
    if not files:                # I prefer using the negation
        return None                      # because it behaves like a shortcut
    latest_file = max(files, key=os.path.getctime)
    _, filename = os.path.split(latest_file)
    return filename

http://localhost/phpMyAdmin/ unable to connect

XAMPP by default uses http://localhost/phpmyadmin

It also requires you start both Apache and MySQL from the control panel (or as a service).

In the XAMPP Control Panel, clicking [ Admin ] on the MySQL line will open your default browser at the configured URL for the phpMyAdmin application.

If you get a phpMyAdmin error stating "Cannot connect: invalid settings." You will need to make sure your MySQL config file has a matching port for server and client. If it is not the standard 3306 port, you will also need to change your phpMyAdmin config file under apache (config.inc.php) to meet the new port settings. (127.0.0.1 becomes 127.0.0.1:<port>)

I had the same problem. Make sure your script didnt have

#!/bin/sh 

at the top of your script. Instead, you should add

#!/bin/bash

Is there a way to provide named parameters in a function call in JavaScript?

No - the object approach is JavaScript's answer to this. There is no problem with this provided your function expects an object rather than separate params.

Generate list of all possible permutations of a string

permute (ABC) -> A.perm(BC) -> A.perm[B.perm(C)] -> A.perm[(*BC), (CB*)] -> [(*ABC), (BAC), (BCA*), (*ACB), (CAB), (CBA*)] To remove duplicates when inserting each alphabet check to see if previous string ends with the same alphabet (why? -exercise)

public static void main(String[] args) {

    for (String str : permStr("ABBB")){
        System.out.println(str);
    }
}

static Vector<String> permStr(String str){

    if (str.length() == 1){
        Vector<String> ret = new Vector<String>();
        ret.add(str);
        return ret;
    }

    char start = str.charAt(0);
    Vector<String> endStrs = permStr(str.substring(1));
    Vector<String> newEndStrs = new Vector<String>();
    for (String endStr : endStrs){
        for (int j = 0; j <= endStr.length(); j++){
            if (endStr.substring(0, j).endsWith(String.valueOf(start)))
                break;
            newEndStrs.add(endStr.substring(0, j) + String.valueOf(start) + endStr.substring(j));
        }
    }
    return newEndStrs;
}

Prints all permutations sans duplicates

How do I add a project as a dependency of another project?

Assuming the MyEjbProject is not another Maven Project you own or want to build with maven, you could use system dependencies to link to the existing jar file of the project like so

<project>
   ...
   <dependencies>
      <dependency>
         <groupId>yourgroup</groupId>
         <artifactId>myejbproject</artifactId>
         <version>2.0</version>
         <scope>system</scope>
         <systemPath>path/to/myejbproject.jar</systemPath>
      </dependency>
   </dependencies>
   ...
</project>

That said it is usually the better (and preferred way) to install the package to the repository either by making it a maven project and building it or installing it the way you already seem to do.


If they are, however, dependent on each other, you can always create a separate parent project (has to be a "pom" project) declaring the two other projects as its "modules". (The child projects would not have to declare the third project as their parent). As a consequence you'd get a new directory for the new parent project, where you'd also quite probably put the two independent projects like this:

parent
|- pom.xml
|- MyEJBProject
|   `- pom.xml
`- MyWarProject
    `- pom.xml

The parent project would get a "modules" section to name all the child modules. The aggregator would then use the dependencies in the child modules to actually find out the order in which the projects are to be built)

<project>
   ...
   <artifactId>myparentproject</artifactId>
   <groupId>...</groupId>
   <version>...</version>

   <packaging>pom</packaging>
   ...
   <modules>
     <module>MyEJBModule</module>
     <module>MyWarModule</module>
   </modules>
   ...
</project>

That way the projects can relate to each other but (once they are installed in the local repository) still be used independently as artifacts in other projects


Finally, if your projects are not in related directories, you might try to give them as relative modules:

filesystem
 |- mywarproject
 |   `pom.xml
 |- myejbproject
 |   `pom.xml
 `- parent
     `pom.xml

now you could just do this (worked in maven 2, just tried it):

<!--parent-->
<project>
  <modules>
    <module>../mywarproject</module>
    <module>../myejbproject</module>
  </modules>
</project>

c - warning: implicit declaration of function ‘printf’

You need to include the appropriate header

#include <stdio.h>

If you're not sure which header a standard function is defined in, the function's man page will state this.

Collection was modified; enumeration operation may not execute

When a subscriber unsubscribes you are changing contents of the collection of Subscribers during enumeration.

There are several ways to fix this, one being changing the for loop to use an explicit .ToList():

public void NotifySubscribers(DataRecord sr)  
{
    foreach(Subscriber s in subscribers.Values.ToList())
    {
                                              ^^^^^^^^^

Set drawable size programmatically

To use

textView.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds()

Your minSdkVersion should be 17 in build.gradle

    defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.example..."
    minSdkVersion 17
    targetSdkVersion 25
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"
}

To change drawable size:

    TextView v = (TextView)findViewById(email);
    Drawable dr = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.signup_mail);
    Bitmap bitmap = ((BitmapDrawable) dr).getBitmap();
    Drawable d = new BitmapDrawable(getResources(), Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bitmap, 80, 80, true));

    //setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds (image to left, top, right, bottom)
    v.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(d,null,null,null);

How to get the Mongo database specified in connection string in C#

In this moment with the last version of the C# driver (2.3.0) the only way I found to get the database name specified in connection string is this:

var connectionString = @"mongodb://usr:[email protected],srv2.acme.net,srv3.acme.net/dbName?replicaSet=rset";
var mongoUrl = new MongoUrl(connectionString);
var dbname = mongoUrl.DatabaseName;
var db = new MongoClient(mongoUrl).GetDatabase(dbname);
db.GetCollection<MyType>("myCollectionName");

DateTime.MinValue and SqlDateTime overflow

Very simple avoid using DateTime.MinValue use System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlDateTime.MinValue instead.

Difference between jQuery parent(), parents() and closest() functions

closest() selects the first element that matches the selector, up from the DOM tree. Begins from the current element and travels up.

parent() selects one element up (single level up) the DOM tree.

parents() method is similar to parent() but selects all the matching elements up the DOM tree. Begins from the parent element and travels up.

How do I round a double to two decimal places in Java?

How to copy files from host to Docker container?

tar and docker cp are a good combo for copying everything in a directory.

Create a data volume container

docker create --name dvc --volume /path/on/container cirros

To preserve the directory hierarchy

tar -c -C /path/on/local/machine . | docker cp - dvc:/path/on/container

Check your work

docker run --rm --volumes-from dvc cirros ls -al /path/on/container

How can I use querySelector on to pick an input element by name?

1- you need to close the block of the function with '}', which is missing.

2- the argument of querySelector may not be an empty string '' or ' '... Use '*' for all.

3- those arguments will return the needed value:

querySelector('*')

querySelector('input')

querySelector('input[name="pwd"]')

querySelector('[name="pwd"]')

Updating the list view when the adapter data changes

I found a solution that is more efficient than currently accepted answer, because current answer forces all list elements to be refreshed. My solution will refresh only one element (that was touched) by calling adapters getView and recycling current view which adds even more efficiency.

mListView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
      // Edit object data that is represented in Viewat at list's "position"
      view = mAdapter.getView(position, view, parent);
    }
});

Why does this AttributeError in python occur?

The default namespace in Python is "__main__". When you use import scipy, Python creates a separate namespace as your module name. The rule in Pyhton is: when you want to call an attribute from another namespaces you have to use the fully qualified attribute name.

How do I convert a String to an InputStream in Java?

I find that using Apache Commons IO makes my life much easier.

String source = "This is the source of my input stream";
InputStream in = org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils.toInputStream(source, "UTF-8");

You may find that the library also offer many other shortcuts to commonly done tasks that you may be able to use in your project.

How to get query params from url in Angular 2?

When a URL is like this http://stackoverflow.com?param1=value

You can get the param 1 by the following code:

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { Router, ActivatedRoute, Params } from '@angular/router';

@Component({
    selector: '',
    templateUrl: './abc.html',
    styleUrls: ['./abc.less']
})
export class AbcComponent implements OnInit {
    constructor(private route: ActivatedRoute) { }

    ngOnInit() {
        // get param
        let param1 = this.route.snapshot.queryParams["param1"];
    }
}

"Char cannot be dereferenced" error

If Character.isLetter(ch) looks a bit wordy/ugly you can use a static import.

import static java.lang.Character.*;


if(isLetter(ch)) {

} else if(isDigit(ch)) {

} 

Handling null values in Freemarker

You can use the ?? test operator:

This checks if the attribute of the object is not null:

<#if object.attribute??></#if>

This checks if object or attribute is not null:

<#if (object.attribute)??></#if>

Accessing post variables using Java Servlets

POST variables should be accessible via the request object: HttpRequest.getParameterMap(). The exception is if the form is sending multipart MIME data (the FORM has enctype="multipart/form-data"). In that case, you need to parse the byte stream with a MIME parser. You can write your own or use an existing one like the Apache Commons File Upload API.

Should I return EXIT_SUCCESS or 0 from main()?

0 is, by definition, a magic number. EXIT_SUCCESS is almost universally equal to 0, happily enough. So why not just return/exit 0?

exit(EXIT_SUCCESS); is abundantly clear in meaning.

exit(0); on the other hand, is counterintuitive in some ways. Someone not familiar with shell behavior might assume that 0 == false == bad, just like every other usage of 0 in C. But no - in this one special case, 0 == success == good. For most experienced devs, not going to be a problem. But why trip up the new guy for absolutely no reason?

tl;dr - if there's a defined constant for your magic number, there's almost never a reason not to used the constant in the first place. It's more searchable, often clearer, etc. and it doesn't cost you anything.

Why is my CSS style not being applied?

For me, it was the local overrides in Sources -> Overrides. A file gets saved locally whenever you change the styling of a page and chrome uses that file to override the server's css.

Mark error in form using Bootstrap

Bootstrap v2

See the live version on jsfiddle

bootstrap v2 form validation

The .error, .success, .warning and .info classes are appended to the .control-group. This is standard Bootstrap markup and styling in v2. Just follow that and you're in good shape. Of course you can go beyond with your own styles to add a popup or "inline flash" if you prefer, but if you follow Bootstrap convention and hang those validation classes on the .control-group it will stay consistent and easy to manage (at least since you'll continue to have the benefit of Bootstrap docs and examples)

  <form class="form-horizontal">
    <div class="control-group warning">
      <label class="control-label" for="inputWarning">Input with warning</label>
      <div class="controls">
        <input type="text" id="inputWarning">
        <span class="help-inline">Something may have gone wrong</span>
      </div>

jQuery ID starts with

Here you go:

$('td[id^="' + value +'"]')

so if the value is for instance 'foo', then the selector will be 'td[id^="foo"]'.

Note that the quotes are mandatory: [id^="...."].

Make sure that the controller has a parameterless public constructor error

I had the same issue and I resolved it by making changes in the UnityConfig.cs file In order to resolve the dependency issue in the UnityConfig.cs file you have to add:

public static void RegisterComponents()    
{
    var container = new UnityContainer();
    container.RegisterType<ITestService, TestService>();
    DependencyResolver.SetResolver(new UnityDependencyResolver(container));
}

Why do you need to put #!/bin/bash at the beginning of a script file?

The operating system takes default shell to run your shell script. so mentioning shell path at the beginning of script, you are asking the OS to use that particular shell. It is also useful for portability.

Where Is Machine.Config?

You can run this in powershell:

[System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeEnvironment]::SystemConfigurationFile

Which outputs this for .net 4:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\config\machine.config

Note however that this might change depending on whether .net is running as 32 or 64 bit which will result in \Framework\ or \Framework64\ respectively.

how to call service method from ng-change of select in angularjs?

You have at least two issues in your code:

  • ng-change="getScoreData(Score)

    Angular doesn't see getScoreData method that refers to defined service

  • getScoreData: function (Score, callback)

    We don't need to use callback since GET returns promise. Use then instead.

Here is a working example (I used random address only for simulation):

HTML

<select ng-model="score"
        ng-change="getScoreData(score)" 
        ng-options="score as score.name for score in  scores"></select>
    <pre>{{ScoreData|json}}</pre> 

JS

var fessmodule = angular.module('myModule', ['ngResource']);

fessmodule.controller('fessCntrl', function($scope, ScoreDataService) {

    $scope.scores = [{
        name: 'Bukit Batok Street 1',
        URL: 'http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=Singapore, SG, Singapore, 153 Bukit Batok Street 1&sensor=true'
    }, {
        name: 'London 8',
        URL: 'http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=Singapore, SG, Singapore, London 8&sensor=true'
    }];

    $scope.getScoreData = function(score) {
        ScoreDataService.getScoreData(score).then(function(result) {
            $scope.ScoreData = result;
        }, function(result) {
            alert("Error: No data returned");
        });
    };

});

fessmodule.$inject = ['$scope', 'ScoreDataService'];

fessmodule.factory('ScoreDataService', ['$http', '$q', function($http) {

    var factory = {
        getScoreData: function(score) {
            console.log(score);
            var data = $http({
                method: 'GET',
                url: score.URL
            });


            return data;
        }
    }
    return factory;
}]);

What is the cleanest way to get the progress of JQuery ajax request?

I tried about three different ways of intercepting the construction of the Ajax object:

  1. My first attempt used xhrFields, but that only allows for one listener, only attaches to download (not upload) progress, and requires what seems like unnecessary copy-and-paste.
  2. My second attempt attached a progress function to the returned promise, but I had to maintain my own array of handlers. I could not find a good object to attach the handlers because one place I'd access to the XHR and another I'd have access to the jQuery XHR, but I never had access to the deferred object (only its promise).
  3. My third attempt gave me direct access to the XHR for attaching handlers, but again required to much copy-and-paste code.
  4. I wrapped up my third attempt and replaced jQuery's ajax with my own. The only potential shortcoming is you can no longer use your own xhr() setting. You can allow for that by checking to see whether options.xhr is a function.

I actually call my promise.progress function xhrProgress so I can easily find it later. You might want to name it something else to separate your upload and download listeners. I hope this helps someone even if the original poster already got what he needed.

(function extend_jQuery_ajax_with_progress( window, jQuery, undefined )
{
var $originalAjax = jQuery.ajax;
jQuery.ajax = function( url, options )
{
    if( typeof( url ) === 'object' )
    {options = url;url = undefined;}
    options = options || {};

    // Instantiate our own.
    var xmlHttpReq = $.ajaxSettings.xhr();
    // Make it use our own.
    options.xhr = function()
    {return( xmlHttpReq );};

    var $newDeferred = $.Deferred();
    var $oldPromise = $originalAjax( url, options )

How to combine date from one field with time from another field - MS SQL Server

SELECT CAST(your_date_column AS date) + CAST(your_time_column AS datetime) FROM your_table

Works like a charm

How to convert std::string to lower case?

// tolower example (C++)
#include <iostream>       // std::cout
#include <string>         // std::string
#include <locale>         // std::locale, std::tolower

int main ()
{
  std::locale loc;
  std::string str="Test String.\n";
  for (std::string::size_type i=0; i<str.length(); ++i)
    std::cout << std::tolower(str[i],loc);
  return 0;
}

C++ calling base class constructors

When objects are constructed, it is always first construct base class subobject, therefore, base class constructor is called first, then call derived class constructors. The reason is that derived class objects contain subobjects inherited from base class. You always need to call the base class constructor to initialze base class subobjects. We usually call the base class constructor on derived class's member initialization list. If you do not call base class constructor explicitly, the compile will call the default constructor of base class to initialize base class subobject. However, implicit call on default constructor does not necessary work at all times (for example, if base class defines a constructor that could not be called without arguments).

When objects are out of scope, it will first call destructor of derived class,then call destructor of base class.

ServletContext.getRequestDispatcher() vs ServletRequest.getRequestDispatcher()

I think you will understand it through these examples below.

Source code structure:

/src/main/webapp/subdir/sample.jsp
/src/main/webapp/sample.jsp

Context is: TestApp
So the entry point: http://yourhostname-and-port/TestApp


Forward to RELATIVE path:

Using servletRequest.getRequestDispatcher("sample.jsp"):

http://yourhostname-and-port/TestApp/subdir/fwdServlet  ==> \subdir\sample.jsp
http://yourhostname-and-port/TestApp/fwdServlet ==> /sample.jsp

Using servletContext.getRequestDispatcher("sample.jsp"):

http://yourhostname-and-port/TestApp/subdir/fwdServlet ==> java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Path sample.jsp does not start with a "/" character
http://yourhostname-and-port/TestApp/fwdServlet ==> java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Path sample.jsp does not start with a "/" character


Forward to ABSOLUTE path:

Using servletRequest.getRequestDispatcher("/sample.jsp"):

http://yourhostname-and-port/TestApp/subdir/fwdServlet  ==> /sample.jsp
http://yourhostname-and-port/TestApp/fwdServlet ==> /sample.jsp

Using servletContext.getRequestDispatcher("/sample.jsp"):

http://yourhostname-and-port/TestApp/subdir/fwdServlet ==> /sample.jsp
http://yourhostname-and-port/TestApp/fwdServlet ==> /sample.jsp

How to calculate the running time of my program?

Beside the well-known (and already mentioned) System.currentTimeMillis() and System.nanoTime() there is also a neat library called perf4j which might be useful too, depending on your purpose of course.

How to get File Created Date and Modified Date

You can use this code to see the last modified date of a file.

DateTime dt = File.GetLastWriteTime(path);

And this code to see the creation time.

DateTime fileCreatedDate = File.GetCreationTime(@"C:\Example\MyTest.txt");

MongoDB: How to query for records where field is null or not set?

You can also try this:

GIT clone repo across local file system in windows

$ git clone --no-hardlinks /path/to/repo

The above command uses POSIX path notation for the directory with your git repository. For Windows it is (directory C:/path/to/repo contains .git directory):

C:\some\dir\> git clone --local file:///C:/path/to/repo my_project

The repository will be clone to C:\some\dir\my_project. If you omit file:/// part then --local option is implied.

NameError: name 'datetime' is not defined

You need to import the module datetime first:

>>> import datetime

After that it works:

>>> import datetime
>>> date = datetime.date.today()
>>> date
datetime.date(2013, 11, 12)

Rails Active Record find(:all, :order => ) issue

The problem is that date is a reserved sqlite3 keyword. I had a similar problem with time, also a reserved keyword, which worked fine in PostgreSQL, but not in sqlite3. The solution is renaming the column.

See this: Sqlite3 activerecord :order => "time DESC" doesn't sort

Get characters after last / in url

ASP.NET set hiddenfield a value in Javascript

asp:HiddenField as:

<asp:HiddenField runat="server" ID="hfProduct" ClientIDMode="Static" />

js code:

$("#hfProduct").val("test")

and the code behind:

hfProduct.Value.ToString();

How do I remove documents using Node.js Mongoose?

docs is an array of documents. so it doesn't have a mongooseModel.remove() method.

You can iterate and remove each document in the array separately.

Or - since it looks like you are finding the documents by a (probably) unique id - use findOne instead of find.

run main class of Maven project

Try the maven-exec-plugin. From there:

mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="com.example.Main"

This will run your class in the JVM. You can use -Dexec.args="arg0 arg1" to pass arguments.

If you're on Windows, apply quotes for exec.mainClass and exec.args:

mvn exec:java -D"exec.mainClass"="com.example.Main"

If you're doing this regularly, you can add the parameters into the pom.xml as well:

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
  <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>1.2.1</version>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <goals>
        <goal>java</goal>
      </goals>
    </execution>
  </executions>
  <configuration>
    <mainClass>com.example.Main</mainClass>
    <arguments>
      <argument>foo</argument>
      <argument>bar</argument>
    </arguments>
  </configuration>
</plugin>

Download file using libcurl in C/C++

Just for those interested you can avoid writing custom function by passing NULL as last parameter (if you do not intend to do extra processing of returned data).
In this case default internal function is used.

Details
http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_easy_setopt.html#CURLOPTWRITEDATA

Example

#include <stdio.h>
#include <curl/curl.h>

int main(void)
{
    CURL *curl;
    FILE *fp;
    CURLcode res;
    char *url = "http://stackoverflow.com";
    char outfilename[FILENAME_MAX] = "page.html";
    curl = curl_easy_init();

Is it correct to use alt tag for an anchor link?

For anchors, you should use title instead. alt is not valid atribute of a. See http://w3schools.com/tags/tag_a.asp

How to resolve merge conflicts in Git repository?

I follow the below process.

The process to fix merge conflict:

  1. First, pull the latest from the destination branch to which you want to merge git pull origin develop

  2. As you get the latest from the destination, now resolve the conflict manually in IDE by deleting those extra characters.

  3. Do a git add to add these edited files to the git queue so that it can be commit and push to the same branch you are working on.

  4. As git add is done, do a git commit to commit the changes.

  5. Now push the changes to your working branch by git push origin HEAD

This is it and you will see it resolved in your pull request if you are using Bitbucket or GitHub.

How to debug Angular JavaScript Code

Visit or reload the page you intend to debug and see the debugger appear in your browser.

How to read file binary in C#?

Well, reading it isn't hard, just use FileStream to read a byte[]. Converting it to text isn't really generally possible or meaningful unless you convert the 1's and 0's to hex. That's easy to do with the BitConverter.ToString(byte[]) overload. You'd generally want to dump 16 or 32 bytes in each line. You could use Encoding.ASCII.GetString() to try to convert the bytes to characters. A sample program that does this:

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Text;

class Program {
    static void Main(string[] args) {
        // Read the file into <bits>
        var fs = new FileStream(@"c:\temp\test.bin", FileMode.Open);
        var len = (int)fs.Length;
        var bits = new byte[len];
        fs.Read(bits, 0, len);
        // Dump 16 bytes per line
        for (int ix = 0; ix < len; ix += 16) {
            var cnt = Math.Min(16, len - ix);
            var line = new byte[cnt];
            Array.Copy(bits, ix, line, 0, cnt);
            // Write address + hex + ascii
            Console.Write("{0:X6}  ", ix);
            Console.Write(BitConverter.ToString(line));
            Console.Write("  ");
            // Convert non-ascii characters to .
            for (int jx = 0; jx < cnt; ++jx)
                if (line[jx] < 0x20 || line[jx] > 0x7f) line[jx] = (byte)'.';
            Console.WriteLine(Encoding.ASCII.GetString(line));
        }
        Console.ReadLine();
    }
}

Add event handler for body.onload by javascript within <body> part

body.addEventListener("load", init(), false);

That init() is saying run this function now and assign whatever it returns to the load event.

What you want is to assign the reference to the function, not the result. So you need to drop the ().

body.addEventListener("load", init, false);

Also you should be using window.onload and not body.onload

addEventListener is supported in most browsers except IE 8.

SecurityException: Permission denied (missing INTERNET permission?)

Put these permission outside the <application> tag preferable before the tag, I tried it and it works for me.

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

What's is the difference between include and extend in use case diagram?

I think it's important to understand the intention of includes and extends:

"The include relationship is intended for reusing behaviour modeled by another use case, whereas the extend relationship is intended for adding parts to existing use cases as well as for modeling optional system services" (Overgaard and Palmkvist, Use Cases: Patterns and Blueprints. Addison-Wesley, 2004).


This reads to me as:

Include = reuse of functionality (i.e. the included functionality is used or could be used elsewhere in the system). Include therefore denotes a dependency on another use case.

Extends = adding (not reusing) functionality and also any optional functionality. Extends therefore can denote one of two things:
1. adding new features/capabilities to a use case (optional or not)
2. any optional use cases (existing or not).

Summary:
Include = reuse of functionality
Extends = new and/or optional functionality

You will most often find the 2nd usage (i.e. optional functionality) of extends, because if functionality is not optional, then most times it is built into the use case itself, rather than being an extension. At least that's been my experience. (Julian C points out that you sometimes see the 1st usage (i.e. adding new features) of extends when a project enters it's 2nd phase).

Limit the output of the TOP command to a specific process name

I solved my problem using:

top -n1 -b | grep "proccess name"

in this case: -n is used to set how many times top will what proccess
and -b is used to show all pids

it's prevents errors like : top: pid limit (20) exceeded

Create a global variable in TypeScript

I needed to make lodash global to use an existing .js file that I could not change, only require.

I found that this worked:

import * as lodash from 'lodash';

(global as any)._ = lodash;

html5 audio player - jquery toggle click play/pause?

Well, I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think jQuery extends/parses those functions and attributes (.paused, .pause(), .play()).

try to access those over the DOM element, like:

$('.player_audio').click(function() {
  if (this.paused == false) {
      this.pause();
      alert('music paused');
  } else {
      this.play();
      alert('music playing');
  }
});

Change a column type from Date to DateTime during ROR migration

AFAIK, migrations are there to try to reshape data you care about (i.e. production) when making schema changes. So unless that's wrong, and since he did say he does not care about the data, why not just modify the column type in the original migration from date to datetime and re-run the migration? (Hope you've got tests:)).

Make an html number input always display 2 decimal places

Pure html is not able to do what you want. My suggestion would be to write a simple javascript function to do the roudning for you.

How to prepare a Unity project for git?

Since Unity 4.3 you also have to enable External option from preferences, so full setup process looks like:

  1. Enable External option in Unity ? Preferences ? Packages ? Repository
  2. Switch to Hidden Meta Files in Editor ? Project Settings ? Editor ? Version Control Mode
  3. Switch to Force Text in Editor ? Project Settings ? Editor ? Asset Serialization Mode
  4. Save scene and project from File menu

Note that the only folders you need to keep under source control are Assets and ProjectSettigns.

More information about keeping Unity Project under source control you can find in this post.

get size of json object

Your problem is that your phones object doesn't have a length property (unless you define it somewhere in the JSON that you return) as objects aren't the same as arrays, even when used as associative arrays. If the phones object was an array it would have a length. You have two options (maybe more).

  1. Change your JSON structure (assuming this is possible) so that 'phones' becomes

    "phones":[{"number":"XXXXXXXXXX","type":"mobile"},{"number":"XXXXXXXXXX","type":"mobile"}]
    

    (note there is no word-numbered identifier for each phone as they are returned in a 0-indexed array). In this response phones.length will be valid.

  2. Iterate through the objects contained within your phones object and count them as you go, e.g.

    var key, count = 0;
    for(key in data.phones) {
      if(data.phones.hasOwnProperty(key)) {
        count++;
      }
    }
    

If you're only targeting new browsers option 2 could look like this

Measuring elapsed time with the Time module

start_time = time.time()
# your code
elapsed_time = time.time() - start_time

You can also write simple decorator to simplify measurement of execution time of various functions:

import time
from functools import wraps

PROF_DATA = {}

def profile(fn):
    @wraps(fn)
    def with_profiling(*args, **kwargs):
        start_time = time.time()

        ret = fn(*args, **kwargs)

        elapsed_time = time.time() - start_time

        if fn.__name__ not in PROF_DATA:
            PROF_DATA[fn.__name__] = [0, []]
        PROF_DATA[fn.__name__][0] += 1
        PROF_DATA[fn.__name__][1].append(elapsed_time)

        return ret

    return with_profiling

def print_prof_data():
    for fname, data in PROF_DATA.items():
        max_time = max(data[1])
        avg_time = sum(data[1]) / len(data[1])
        print "Function %s called %d times. " % (fname, data[0]),
        print 'Execution time max: %.3f, average: %.3f' % (max_time, avg_time)

def clear_prof_data():
    global PROF_DATA
    PROF_DATA = {}

Usage:

@profile
def your_function(...):
    ...

You can profile more then one function simultaneously. Then to print measurements just call the print_prof_data():

How to detect orientation change in layout in Android?

Use the onConfigurationChanged method of Activity. See the following code:

@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(@NotNull Configuration newConfig) {
    super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);

    // Checks the orientation of the screen
    if (newConfig.orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE) {
        Toast.makeText(this, "landscape", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    } else if (newConfig.orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT){
        Toast.makeText(this, "portrait", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
}

You also have to edit the appropriate element in your manifest file to include the android:configChanges Just see the code below:

<activity android:name=".MyActivity"
          android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"
          android:label="@string/app_name">

NOTE: with Android 3.2 (API level 13) or higher, the "screen size" also changes when the device switches between portrait and landscape orientation. Thus, if you want to prevent runtime restarts due to orientation change when developing for API level 13 or higher, you must declare android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize" for API level 13 or higher.

Hope this will help you... :)

Sum across multiple columns with dplyr

I encounter this problem often, and the easiest way to do this is to use the apply() function within a mutate command.

library(tidyverse)
df=data.frame(
  x1=c(1,0,0,NA,0,1,1,NA,0,1),
  x2=c(1,1,NA,1,1,0,NA,NA,0,1),
  x3=c(0,1,0,1,1,0,NA,NA,0,1),
  x4=c(1,0,NA,1,0,0,NA,0,0,1),
  x5=c(1,1,NA,1,1,1,NA,1,0,1))

df %>%
  mutate(sum = select(., x1:x5) %>% apply(1, sum, na.rm=TRUE))

Here you could use whatever you want to select the columns using the standard dplyr tricks (e.g. starts_with() or contains()). By doing all the work within a single mutate command, this action can occur anywhere within a dplyr stream of processing steps. Finally, by using the apply() function, you have the flexibility to use whatever summary you need, including your own purpose built summarization function.

Alternatively, if the idea of using a non-tidyverse function is unappealing, then you could gather up the columns, summarize them and finally join the result back to the original data frame.

df <- df %>% mutate( id = 1:n() )   # Need some ID column for this to work

df <- df %>%
  group_by(id) %>%
  gather('Key', 'value', starts_with('x')) %>%
  summarise( Key.Sum = sum(value) ) %>%
  left_join( df, . )

Here I used the starts_with() function to select the columns and calculated the sum and you can do whatever you want with NA values. The downside to this approach is that while it is pretty flexible, it doesn't really fit into a dplyr stream of data cleaning steps.

What is the convention for word separator in Java package names?

The official naming conventions aren't that strict, they don't even 'forbid' camel case notation except for prefix (com in your example).

But I personally would avoid upper case letters and hyphenations, even numbers. I'd choose com.stackoverflow.mypackage like Bragboy suggested too.

(hyphenations '-' are not legal in package names)

EDIT

Interesting - the language specification has something to say about naming conventions too.

In Chapter 7.7 Unique Package Names we see examples with package names that consist of upper case letters (so CamelCase notation would be OK) and they suggest to replace hyphonation by an underscore ("mary-lou" -> "mary_lou") and prefix java keywords with an underscore ("com.example.enum" -> "com.example._enum")

Some more examples for upper case letters in package names can be found in chapter 6.8.1 Package Names.

How to generate a core dump in Linux on a segmentation fault?

Maybe you could do it this way, this program is a demonstration of how to trap a segmentation fault and shells out to a debugger (this is the original code used under AIX) and prints the stack trace up to the point of a segmentation fault. You will need to change the sprintf variable to use gdb in the case of Linux.

    /* This needs to be changed... */
    char dbx[160];

    sprintf(dbx, "echo 'where\ndetach' | dbx -a %d > %s.dump", getpid(), progname);
    /* Change the dbx to gdb */

    system(dbx);
    return;
}

void cleanup(void) {

You may have to additionally add a parameter to get gdb to dump the core as shown here in this blog here.

Https to http redirect using htaccess

You can use the following rule to redirect from https to http :

 RewriteEngine On


RewriteCond %{HTTPS} ^on$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/$1 [NC,L,R]

Explanation :

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} ^on$

Checks if the HTTPS is on (Request is made using https)

Then

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/$1 [NC,L,R]

Redirect any request (https://example.com/foo) to http://example.com/foo .

  • $1 is part of the regex in RewriteRule pattern, it contains whatever value was captured in (.+) , in this case ,it captures the full request_uri everything after the domain name.

  • [NC,L,R] are the flags, NC makes the uri case senstive, you can use both uppercase or lowercase letters in the request.

L flag tells the server to stop proccessing other rules if the currunt rule has matched, it is important to use the L flag to avoid rule confliction when you have more then on rules in a block.

R flag is used to make an external redirection.

jQuery set checkbox checked

$("#divParentClip").find("#subclip_checkbox")[0].checked=true;

Find will return array , so use [0] to get even if there is only one item

if you don't use find then

$("#subclip_checkbox").checked=true;

this worked fine in Mozilla Firefox for me

In laymans terms, what does 'static' mean in Java?

Above points are correct and I want to add some more important points about Static keyword.

Internally what happening when you are using static keyword is it will store in permanent memory(that is in heap memory),we know that there are two types of memory they are stack memory(temporary memory) and heap memory(permanent memory),so if you are not using static key word then will store in temporary memory that is in stack memory(or you can call it as volatile memory).

so you will get a doubt that what is the use of this right???

example: static int a=10;(1 program)

just now I told if you use static keyword for variables or for method it will store in permanent memory right.

so I declared same variable with keyword static in other program with different value.

example: static int a=20;(2 program)

the variable 'a' is stored in heap memory by program 1.the same static variable 'a' is found in program 2 at that time it won`t create once again 'a' variable in heap memory instead of that it just replace value of a from 10 to 20.

In general it will create once again variable 'a' in stack memory(temporary memory) if you won`t declare 'a' as static variable.

overall i can say that,if we use static keyword
  1.we can save memory
  2.we can avoid duplicates
  3.No need of creating object in-order to access static variable with the help of class name you can access it.

json and empty array

null is a legal value (and reserved word) in JSON, but some environments do not have a "NULL" object (as opposed to a NULL value) and hence cannot accurately represent the JSON null. So they will sometimes represent it as an empty array.

Whether null is a legal value in that particular element of that particular API is entirely up to the API designer.

How to cast List<Object> to List<MyClass>

Depending on what you want to do with the list, you may not even need to cast it to a List<Customer>. If you only want to add Customer objects to the list, you could declare it as follows:

...
List<Object> list = getList();
return (List<? super Customer>) list;

This is legal (well, not just legal, but correct - the list is of "some supertype to Customer"), and if you're going to be passing it into a method that will merely be adding objects to the list then the above generic bounds are sufficient for this.

On the other hand, if you want to retrieve objects from the list and have them strongly typed as Customers - then you're out of luck, and rightly so. Because the list is a List<Object> there's no guarantee that the contents are customers, so you'll have to provide your own casting on retrieval. (Or be really, absolutely, doubly sure that the list will only contain Customers and use a double-cast from one of the other answers, but do realise that you're completely circumventing the compile-time type-safety you get from generics in this case).

Broadly speaking it's always good to consider the broadest possible generic bounds that would be acceptable when writing a method, doubly so if it's going to be used as a library method. If you're only going to read from a list, use List<? extends T> instead of List<T>, for example - this gives your callers much more scope in the arguments they can pass in and means they are less likely to run into avoidable issues similar to the one you're having here.

How do I draw a shadow under a UIView?

A by far easier approach is to set some layer attributes of the view on initialization:

self.layer.masksToBounds = NO;
self.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(-15, 20);
self.layer.shadowRadius = 5;
self.layer.shadowOpacity = 0.5;

You need to import QuartzCore.

#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>

jQuery: count number of rows in a table

If you use <tbody> or <tfoot> in your table, you'll have to use the following syntax or you'll get a incorrect value:

var rowCount = $('#myTable >tbody >tr').length;

bootstrap responsive table content wrapping

The behaviour is on purpose:

Create responsive tables by wrapping any .table in .table-responsive to make them scroll horizontally on small devices (under 768px). When viewing on anything larger than 768px wide, you will not see any difference in these tables.

Which means tables are responsive by default (are adjusting their size). But only if you wish to not break your table's lines and add scrollbar when there is not enough room use .table-responsive class.

If you take a look at bootstrap's source you will notice there is media query that only activates on XS screen size and it sets text of table to white-space: nowrap which causes it to not breaking.

TL;DR; Solution

Simply remove .table-responsive element/class from your html code.

Location of my.cnf file on macOS

I don't know which version of MySQL you're using, but here are possible locations of the my.cnf file for version 5.5 (taken from here) on Mac OS X:

  1. /etc/my.cnf
  2. /etc/mysql/my.cnf
  3. SYSCONFDIR/my.cnf
  4. $MYSQL_HOME/my.cnf
  5. defaults-extra-file (the file specified with --defaults-extra-file=path, if any)
  6. ~/.my.cnf

GROUP_CONCAT ORDER BY

You can use ORDER BY inside the GROUP_CONCAT function in this way:

SELECT li.client_id, group_concat(li.percentage ORDER BY li.views ASC) AS views, 
group_concat(li.percentage ORDER BY li.percentage ASC) 
FROM li GROUP BY client_id

Understanding slice notation

The answers above don't discuss slice assignment. To understand slice assignment, it's helpful to add another concept to the ASCII art:

                +---+---+---+---+---+---+
                | P | y | t | h | o | n |
                +---+---+---+---+---+---+
Slice position: 0   1   2   3   4   5   6
Index position:   0   1   2   3   4   5

>>> p = ['P','y','t','h','o','n']
# Why the two sets of numbers:
# indexing gives items, not lists
>>> p[0]
 'P'
>>> p[5]
 'n'

# Slicing gives lists
>>> p[0:1]
 ['P']
>>> p[0:2]
 ['P','y']

One heuristic is, for a slice from zero to n, think: "zero is the beginning, start at the beginning and take n items in a list".

>>> p[5] # the last of six items, indexed from zero
 'n'
>>> p[0:5] # does NOT include the last item!
 ['P','y','t','h','o']
>>> p[0:6] # not p[0:5]!!!
 ['P','y','t','h','o','n']

Another heuristic is, "for any slice, replace the start by zero, apply the previous heuristic to get the end of the list, then count the first number back up to chop items off the beginning"

>>> p[0:4] # Start at the beginning and count out 4 items
 ['P','y','t','h']
>>> p[1:4] # Take one item off the front
 ['y','t','h']
>>> p[2:4] # Take two items off the front
 ['t','h']
# etc.

The first rule of slice assignment is that since slicing returns a list, slice assignment requires a list (or other iterable):

>>> p[2:3]
 ['t']
>>> p[2:3] = ['T']
>>> p
 ['P','y','T','h','o','n']
>>> p[2:3] = 't'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: can only assign an iterable

The second rule of slice assignment, which you can also see above, is that whatever portion of the list is returned by slice indexing, that's the same portion that is changed by slice assignment:

>>> p[2:4]
 ['T','h']
>>> p[2:4] = ['t','r']
>>> p
 ['P','y','t','r','o','n']

The third rule of slice assignment is, the assigned list (iterable) doesn't have to have the same length; the indexed slice is simply sliced out and replaced en masse by whatever is being assigned:

>>> p = ['P','y','t','h','o','n'] # Start over
>>> p[2:4] = ['s','p','a','m']
>>> p
 ['P','y','s','p','a','m','o','n']

The trickiest part to get used to is assignment to empty slices. Using heuristic 1 and 2 it's easy to get your head around indexing an empty slice:

>>> p = ['P','y','t','h','o','n']
>>> p[0:4]
 ['P','y','t','h']
>>> p[1:4]
 ['y','t','h']
>>> p[2:4]
 ['t','h']
>>> p[3:4]
 ['h']
>>> p[4:4]
 []

And then once you've seen that, slice assignment to the empty slice makes sense too:

>>> p = ['P','y','t','h','o','n']
>>> p[2:4] = ['x','y'] # Assigned list is same length as slice
>>> p
 ['P','y','x','y','o','n'] # Result is same length
>>> p = ['P','y','t','h','o','n']
>>> p[3:4] = ['x','y'] # Assigned list is longer than slice
>>> p
 ['P','y','t','x','y','o','n'] # The result is longer
>>> p = ['P','y','t','h','o','n']
>>> p[4:4] = ['x','y']
>>> p
 ['P','y','t','h','x','y','o','n'] # The result is longer still

Note that, since we are not changing the second number of the slice (4), the inserted items always stack right up against the 'o', even when we're assigning to the empty slice. So the position for the empty slice assignment is the logical extension of the positions for the non-empty slice assignments.

Backing up a little bit, what happens when you keep going with our procession of counting up the slice beginning?

>>> p = ['P','y','t','h','o','n']
>>> p[0:4]
 ['P','y','t','h']
>>> p[1:4]
 ['y','t','h']
>>> p[2:4]
 ['t','h']
>>> p[3:4]
 ['h']
>>> p[4:4]
 []
>>> p[5:4]
 []
>>> p[6:4]
 []

With slicing, once you're done, you're done; it doesn't start slicing backwards. In Python you don't get negative strides unless you explicitly ask for them by using a negative number.

>>> p[5:3:-1]
 ['n','o']

There are some weird consequences to the "once you're done, you're done" rule:

>>> p[4:4]
 []
>>> p[5:4]
 []
>>> p[6:4]
 []
>>> p[6]
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
IndexError: list index out of range

In fact, compared to indexing, Python slicing is bizarrely error-proof:

>>> p[100:200]
 []
>>> p[int(2e99):int(1e99)]
 []

This can come in handy sometimes, but it can also lead to somewhat strange behavior:

>>> p
 ['P', 'y', 't', 'h', 'o', 'n']
>>> p[int(2e99):int(1e99)] = ['p','o','w','e','r']
>>> p
 ['P', 'y', 't', 'h', 'o', 'n', 'p', 'o', 'w', 'e', 'r']

Depending on your application, that might... or might not... be what you were hoping for there!


Below is the text of my original answer. It has been useful to many people, so I didn't want to delete it.

>>> r=[1,2,3,4]
>>> r[1:1]
[]
>>> r[1:1]=[9,8]
>>> r
[1, 9, 8, 2, 3, 4]
>>> r[1:1]=['blah']
>>> r
[1, 'blah', 9, 8, 2, 3, 4]

This may also clarify the difference between slicing and indexing.

How can I send an email by Java application using GMail, Yahoo, or Hotmail?

Something like this (sounds like you just need to change your SMTP server):

String host = "smtp.gmail.com";
String from = "user name";
Properties props = System.getProperties();
props.put("mail.smtp.host", host);
props.put("mail.smtp.user", from);
props.put("mail.smtp.password", "asdfgh");
props.put("mail.smtp.port", "587"); // 587 is the port number of yahoo mail
props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");

Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));

InternetAddress[] to_address = new InternetAddress[to.length];
int i = 0;
// To get the array of addresses
while (to[i] != null) {
    to_address[i] = new InternetAddress(to[i]);
    i++;
}
System.out.println(Message.RecipientType.TO);
i = 0;
while (to_address[i] != null) {

    message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, to_address[i]);
    i++;
}
message.setSubject("sending in a group");
message.setText("Welcome to JavaMail");
// alternately, to send HTML mail:
// message.setContent("<p>Welcome to JavaMail</p>", "text/html");
Transport transport = session.getTransport("smtp");
transport.connect("smtp.mail.yahoo.co.in", "user name", "asdfgh");
transport.sendMessage(message, message.getAllRecipients());
transport.close();

How to upload, display and save images using node.js and express

First of all, you should make an HTML form containing a file input element. You also need to set the form's enctype attribute to multipart/form-data:

<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="/upload">
    <input type="file" name="file">
    <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

Assuming the form is defined in index.html stored in a directory named public relative to where your script is located, you can serve it this way:

const http = require("http");
const path = require("path");
const fs = require("fs");

const express = require("express");

const app = express();
const httpServer = http.createServer(app);

const PORT = process.env.PORT || 3000;

httpServer.listen(PORT, () => {
  console.log(`Server is listening on port ${PORT}`);
});

// put the HTML file containing your form in a directory named "public" (relative to where this script is located)
app.get("/", express.static(path.join(__dirname, "./public")));

Once that's done, users will be able to upload files to your server via that form. But to reassemble the uploaded file in your application, you'll need to parse the request body (as multipart form data).

In Express 3.x you could use express.bodyParser middleware to handle multipart forms but as of Express 4.x, there's no body parser bundled with the framework. Luckily, you can choose from one of the many available multipart/form-data parsers out there. Here, I'll be using multer:

You need to define a route to handle form posts:

const multer = require("multer");

const handleError = (err, res) => {
  res
    .status(500)
    .contentType("text/plain")
    .end("Oops! Something went wrong!");
};

const upload = multer({
  dest: "/path/to/temporary/directory/to/store/uploaded/files"
  // you might also want to set some limits: https://github.com/expressjs/multer#limits
});


app.post(
  "/upload",
  upload.single("file" /* name attribute of <file> element in your form */),
  (req, res) => {
    const tempPath = req.file.path;
    const targetPath = path.join(__dirname, "./uploads/image.png");

    if (path.extname(req.file.originalname).toLowerCase() === ".png") {
      fs.rename(tempPath, targetPath, err => {
        if (err) return handleError(err, res);

        res
          .status(200)
          .contentType("text/plain")
          .end("File uploaded!");
      });
    } else {
      fs.unlink(tempPath, err => {
        if (err) return handleError(err, res);

        res
          .status(403)
          .contentType("text/plain")
          .end("Only .png files are allowed!");
      });
    }
  }
);

In the example above, .png files posted to /upload will be saved to uploaded directory relative to where the script is located.

In order to show the uploaded image, assuming you already have an HTML page containing an img element:

<img src="/image.png" />

you can define another route in your express app and use res.sendFile to serve the stored image:

app.get("/image.png", (req, res) => {
  res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, "./uploads/image.png"));
});

Pythonic way to combine FOR loop and IF statement

As per The Zen of Python (if you are wondering whether your code is "Pythonic", that's the place to go):

  • Beautiful is better than ugly.
  • Explicit is better than implicit.
  • Simple is better than complex.
  • Flat is better than nested.
  • Readability counts.

The Pythonic way of getting the sorted intersection of two sets is:

>>> sorted(set(a).intersection(xyz))
[0, 4, 6, 7, 9]

Or those elements that are xyz but not in a:

>>> sorted(set(xyz).difference(a))
[12, 242]

But for a more complicated loop you may want to flatten it by iterating over a well-named generator expression and/or calling out to a well-named function. Trying to fit everything on one line is rarely "Pythonic".


Update following additional comments on your question and the accepted answer

I'm not sure what you are trying to do with enumerate, but if a is a dictionary, you probably want to use the keys, like this:

>>> a = {
...     2: 'Turtle Doves',
...     3: 'French Hens',
...     4: 'Colly Birds',
...     5: 'Gold Rings',
...     6: 'Geese-a-Laying',
...     7: 'Swans-a-Swimming',
...     8: 'Maids-a-Milking',
...     9: 'Ladies Dancing',
...     0: 'Camel Books',
... }
>>>
>>> xyz = [0, 12, 4, 6, 242, 7, 9]
>>>
>>> known_things = sorted(set(a.iterkeys()).intersection(xyz))
>>> unknown_things = sorted(set(xyz).difference(a.iterkeys()))
>>>
>>> for thing in known_things:
...     print 'I know about', a[thing]
...
I know about Camel Books
I know about Colly Birds
I know about Geese-a-Laying
I know about Swans-a-Swimming
I know about Ladies Dancing
>>> print '...but...'
...but...
>>>
>>> for thing in unknown_things:
...     print "I don't know what happened on the {0}th day of Christmas".format(thing)
...
I don't know what happened on the 12th day of Christmas
I don't know what happened on the 242th day of Christmas

How can I calculate the difference between two ArrayLists?

List<String> listB = Arrays.asList("2009-05-18","2009-05-18","2009-05-19","2009-05-19",
                                   "2009-05-20","2009-05-21","2009-05-21","2009-05-22");

List<String> result = listB.stream()
                           .filter(not(new HashSet<>(listA)::contains))
                           .collect(Collectors.toList());

Note that the hash set is only created once: The method reference is tied to its contains method. Doing the same with lambda would require having the set in a variable. Making a variable is not a bad idea, especially if you find it unsightly or harder to understand.

You can't easily negate the predicate without something like this utility method (or explicit cast), as you can't call the negate method reference directly (type inference is needed first).

private static <T> Predicate<T> not(Predicate<T> predicate) {
    return predicate.negate();
}

If streams had a filterOut method or something, it would look nicer.


Also, @Holger gave me an idea. ArrayList has its removeAll method optimized for multiple removals, it only rearranges its elements once. However, it uses the contains method provided by given collection, so we need to optimize that part if listA is anything but tiny.

With listA and listB declared previously, this solution doesn't need Java 8 and it's very efficient.

List<String> result = new ArrayList(listB);
result.removeAll(new HashSet<>(listA));

How to export data from Spark SQL to CSV

The error message suggests this is not a supported feature in the query language. But you can save a DataFrame in any format as usual through the RDD interface (df.rdd.saveAsTextFile). Or you can check out https://github.com/databricks/spark-csv.

Get list of JSON objects with Spring RestTemplate

If you would prefer a List of POJOs, one way to do it is like this:

class SomeObject {
    private int id;
    private String name;
}

public <T> List<T> getApi(final String path, final HttpMethod method) {     
    final RestTemplate restTemplate = new RestTemplate();
    final ResponseEntity<List<T>> response = restTemplate.exchange(
      path,
      method,
      null,
      new ParameterizedTypeReference<List<T>>(){});
    List<T> list = response.getBody();
    return list;
}

And use it like so:

 List<SomeObject> list = someService.getApi("http://localhost:8080/some/api",HttpMethod.GET);

Explanation for the above can be found here (https://www.baeldung.com/spring-rest-template-list) and is paraphrased below.

"There are a couple of things happening in the code above. First, we use ResponseEntity as our return type, using it to wrap the list of objects we really want. Second, we are calling RestTemplate.exchange() instead of getForObject().

This is the most generic way to use RestTemplate. It requires us to specify the HTTP method, optional request body, and a response type. In this case, we use an anonymous subclass of ParameterizedTypeReference for the response type.

This last part is what allows us to convert the JSON response into a list of objects that are the appropriate type. When we create an anonymous subclass of ParameterizedTypeReference, it uses reflection to capture information about the class type we want to convert our response to.

It holds on to this information using Java’s Type object, and we no longer have to worry about type erasure."

JavaScript Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined; Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined

You have an error in you script tag construction, this:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.10.0/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>

Should look like this:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.10.0/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>

You have a 'script' word lost in the middle of your script tag. Also you should remove the http:// to let the browser decide whether to use HTTP or HTTPS.

UPDATE

But your main error is that you are including jQuery UI (ONLY) you must include jQuery first! jQuery UI and jQuery are used together, not in separate. jQuery UI depends on jQuery. You should put this line before jQuery UI:

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.0/jquery.min.js"></script>

How do I connect to mongodb with node.js (and authenticate)?

With the link provided by @mattdlockyer as reference, this worked for me:

var mongo = require('mongodb');
var server = new mongo.Server(host, port, options);
db = new mongo.Db(mydb, server, {fsync:true});
db.open(function(err, db) {
    if(!err) {
        console.log("Connected to database");
        db.authenticate(user, password, function(err, res) {
            if(!err) {
                console.log("Authenticated");
            } else {
                console.log("Error in authentication.");
                console.log(err);
            }
        });
    } else {
        console.log("Error in open().");
        console.log(err);
    };
});

exports.testMongo = function(req, res){
    db.collection( mycollection, function(err, collection) {
        collection.find().toArray(function(err, items) {
            res.send(items);
        });
    });
};

Saving an Excel sheet in a current directory with VBA

VBA has a CurDir keyword that will return the "current directory" as stored in Excel. I'm not sure all the things that affect the current directory, but definitely opening or saving a workbook will change it.

MyWorkbook.SaveAs CurDir & Application.PathSeparator & "MySavedWorkbook.xls"

This assumes that the sheet you want to save has never been saved and you want to define the file name in code.

Super-simple example of C# observer/observable with delegates

I did't want to change my source code to add additional observer , so I have written following simple example:

//EVENT DRIVEN OBSERVER PATTERN
public class Publisher
{
    public Publisher()
    {
        var observable = new Observable();
        observable.PublishData("Hello World!");
    }
}

//Server will send data to this class's PublishData method
public class Observable
{
    public event Receive OnReceive;

    public void PublishData(string data)
    {
        //Add all the observer below
        //1st observer
        IObserver iObserver = new Observer1();
        this.OnReceive += iObserver.ReceiveData;
        //2nd observer
        IObserver iObserver2 = new Observer2();
        this.OnReceive += iObserver2.ReceiveData;

        //publish data 
        var handler = OnReceive;
        if (handler != null)
        {
            handler(data);
        }
    }
}

public interface IObserver
{
    void ReceiveData(string data);
}

//Observer example
public class Observer1 : IObserver
{
    public void ReceiveData(string data)
    {
        //sample observers does nothing with data :)
    }
}

public class Observer2 : IObserver
{
    public void ReceiveData(string data)
    {
        //sample observers does nothing with data :)
    }
}

What is the functionality of setSoTimeout and how it works?

Does it mean that I'm blocking reading any input from the Server/Client for this socket for 2000 millisecond and after this time the socket is ready to read data?

No, it means that if no data arrives within 2000ms a SocketTimeoutException will be thrown.

What does it mean timeout expire?

It means the 2000ms (in your case) elapses without any data arriving.

What is the option which must be enabled prior to blocking operation?

There isn't one that 'must be' enabled. If you mean 'may be enabled', this is one of them.

Infinite Timeout menas that the socket does't read anymore?

What a strange suggestion. It means that if no data ever arrives you will block in the read forever.

powerpoint loop a series of animation

Unfortunately you're probably done with the animation and presentation already. In the hopes this answer can help future questioners, however, this blog post has a walkthrough of steps that can loop a single slide as a sort of sub-presentation.

First, click Slide Show > Set Up Show.

Put a checkmark to Loop continuously until 'Esc'.

Click Ok. Now, Click Slide Show > Custom Shows. Click New.

Select the slide you are looping, click Add. Click Ok and Close.

Click on the slide you are looping. Click Slide Show > Slide Transition. Under Advance slide, put a checkmark to Automatically After. This will allow the slide to loop automatically. Do NOT Apply to all slides.

Right click on the thumbnail of the current slide, select Hide Slide.

Now, you will need to insert a new slide just before the slide you are looping. On the new slide, insert an action button. Set the hyperlink to the custom show you have created. Put a checkmark on "Show and Return"

This has worked for me.

Emulator error: This AVD's configuration is missing a kernel file

I installed Android SDK manager and Android SDK yestoday, and I get this error too when I tried to run the Android emulator immediately. But, right now this error disappear, I think restarting your system when the SDK has installed may solve this problem.

CodeIgniter Active Record not equal

According to the manual this should work:

Custom key/value method:

You can include an operator in the first parameter in order to control the comparison:

$this->db->where('name !=', $name);
$this->db->where('id <', $id);
Produces: WHERE name != 'Joe' AND id < 45

Search for $this->db->where(); and look at item #2.

How to check if a string contains an element from a list in Python

extensionsToCheck = ('.pdf', '.doc', '.xls')

'test.doc'.endswith(extensionsToCheck)   # returns True

'test.jpg'.endswith(extensionsToCheck)   # returns False

Android- create JSON Array and JSON Object

Use the following code:

JSONObject student1 = new JSONObject();
try {
    student1.put("id", "3");
    student1.put("name", "NAME OF STUDENT");
    student1.put("year", "3rd");
    student1.put("curriculum", "Arts");
    student1.put("birthday", "5/5/1993");

} catch (JSONException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
}

JSONObject student2 = new JSONObject();
try {
    student2.put("id", "2");
    student2.put("name", "NAME OF STUDENT2");
    student2.put("year", "4rd");
    student2.put("curriculum", "scicence");
    student2.put("birthday", "5/5/1993");

} catch (JSONException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
}


JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray();

jsonArray.put(student1);
jsonArray.put(student2);

JSONObject studentsObj = new JSONObject();
    studentsObj.put("Students", jsonArray);



String jsonStr = studentsObj.toString();

    System.out.println("jsonString: "+jsonStr);

Get querystring from URL using jQuery

An easy way to do this with some jQuery and straight JavaScript, just view your console in Chrome or Firefox to see the output...

  var queries = {};
  $.each(document.location.search.substr(1).split('&'),function(c,q){
    var i = q.split('=');
    queries[i[0].toString()] = i[1].toString();
  });
  console.log(queries);

Set space between divs

You need a gutter between two div gutter can be made as following

margin(gutter) = width - gutter size E.g margin = calc(70% - 2em)

<body bgcolor="gray">
<section id="main">
        <div id="left">
            Something here     
        </div>
        <div id="right">
                Someone there
        </div>
</section>
</body>
<style>
body{
    font-size: 10px;
}

#main div{
    float: left;
    background-color:#ffffff;
    width: calc(50% - 1.5em);
    margin-left: 1.5em;
}
</style>

Get the string within brackets in Python

You could use str.split to do this.

s = "<alpha.Customer[cus_Y4o9qMEZAugtnW] active_card=<alpha.AlphaObject[card]\
 ...>, created=1324336085, description='Customer for My Test App',\
 livemode=False>"
val = s.split('[', 1)[1].split(']')[0]

Then we have:

>>> val
'cus_Y4o9qMEZAugtnW'

How to place the "table" at the middle of the webpage?

The shortest and easiest answer is: you shouldn't vertically center things in webpages. HTML and CSS simply are not created with that in mind. They are text formatting languages, not user interface design languages.

That said, this is the best way I can think of. However, this will NOT WORK in Internet Explorer 7 and below!

<style>
  html, body {
    height: 100%;
  }
  #tableContainer-1 {
    height: 100%;
    width: 100%;
    display: table;
  }
  #tableContainer-2 {
    vertical-align: middle;
    display: table-cell;
    height: 100%;
  }
  #myTable {
    margin: 0 auto;
  }
</style>
<div id="tableContainer-1">
  <div id="tableContainer-2">
    <table id="myTable" border>
      <tr><td>Name</td><td>J W BUSH</td></tr>
      <tr><td>Proficiency</td><td>PHP</td></tr>
      <tr><td>Company</td><td>BLAH BLAH</td></tr>
    </table>
  </div>
</div>

Angular 2 http post params and body

And it works, thanks @trichetriche. The problem was in my RequestOptions, apparently, you can not pass params or body to the RequestOptions while using the post. Removing one of them gives me an error, removing both and it works. Still no final solution to my problem, but I now have something to work with. Final working code.

public post(cmd: string, data: string): Observable<any> {

    const options = new RequestOptions({
      headers: this.getAuthorizedHeaders(),
      responseType: ResponseContentType.Json,
      withCredentials: false
    });

    console.log('Options: ' + JSON.stringify(options));

    return this.http.post(this.BASE_URL, JSON.stringify({
      cmd: cmd,
      data: data}), options)
      .map(this.handleData)
      .catch(this.handleError);
  }

Installing Android Studio, does not point to a valid JVM installation error

Using c:/Program Files/Java/jre1.8.0_73/ instead of C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.8.0_73 as JAVA_HOME variable solved the problem for me. Android studio now launches without problems.

Notepad++ incrementally replace

Since there are limited real answers I'll share this workaround. For really simple cases like your example you do it backwards...

From this

1
2
3
4
5

Replace \r\n with " />\r\n<row id=" and you'll get 90% of the way there

1" />
<row id="2" />
<row id="3" />
<row id="4" />
<row id="5

Or is a similar fashion you can hack about data with excel/spreadsheet. Just split your original data into columns and manipulate values as you require.

|   <row id="   |   1   |   " />    |
|   <row id="   |   1   |   " />    |
|   <row id="   |   1   |   " />    |
|   <row id="   |   1   |   " />    |
|   <row id="   |   1   |   " />    |

Obvious stuff but it may help someone doing the odd one-off hack job to save a few key strokes.

How do I make case-insensitive queries on Mongodb?

  1. With Mongoose (and Node), this worked:

    • User.find({ email: /^[email protected]$/i })

    • User.find({ email: new RegExp(`^${emailVariable}$`, 'i') })

  2. In MongoDB, this worked:

Both lines are case-insensitive. The email in the DB could be [email protected] and both lines will still find the object in the DB.

Likewise, we could use /^[email protected]$/i and it would still find email: [email protected] in the DB.

How to convert an array to a string in PHP?

PHP's implode function can be used to convert an array into a string --- it is similar to join in other languages.

You can use it like so:

$string_product = implode(',', $array);

With an array like [1, 2, 3], this would result in a string like "1,2,3".

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver in Eclipse

The driver connector is not in your build path. Configure the build path and point it to the 'mysql-connector-java-5.1.25-bin.jar' (check the version which you are using). Alternatively you can use maven :D

How to return HTTP 500 from ASP.NET Core RC2 Web Api?

return StatusCode((int)HttpStatusCode.InternalServerError, e);

Should be used in non-ASP.NET contexts (see other answers for ASP.NET Core).

HttpStatusCode is an enumeration in System.Net.

Java: How to read a text file

Java 1.5 introduced the Scanner class for handling input from file and streams.

It is used for getting integers from a file and would look something like this:

List<Integer> integers = new ArrayList<Integer>();
Scanner fileScanner = new Scanner(new File("c:\\file.txt"));
while (fileScanner.hasNextInt()){
   integers.add(fileScanner.nextInt());
}

Check the API though. There are many more options for dealing with different types of input sources, differing delimiters, and differing data types.

How to create Gmail filter searching for text only at start of subject line?

I was wondering how to do this myself; it seems Gmail has since silently implemented this feature. I created the following filter:

Matches: subject:([test])
Do this: Skip Inbox

And then I sent a message with the subject

[test] foo

And the message was archived! So it seems all that is necessary is to create a filter for the subject prefix you wish to handle.

Entity Framework: There is already an open DataReader associated with this Command

In my case the issue had nothing to do with MARS connection string but with json serialization. After upgrading my project from NetCore2 to 3 i got this error.

More information can be found here

Return Type for jdbcTemplate.queryForList(sql, object, classType)

    DTO dTO = new DTO();
    dTO.setrarchyID((Long) (rowMap.get("ID")));
}

Why should Java 8's Optional not be used in arguments

Another reason to be carefully when pass an Optional as parameter is that a method should do one thing... If you pass an Optional param you could favor do more than one thing, it could be similar to pass a boolean param.

public void method(Optional<MyClass> param) {
     if(param.isPresent()) {
         //do something
     } else {
         //do some other
     }
 }

Load properties file in JAR?

The problem is that you are using getSystemResourceAsStream. Use simply getResourceAsStream. System resources load from the system classloader, which is almost certainly not the class loader that your jar is loaded into when run as a webapp.

It works in Eclipse because when launching an application, the system classloader is configured with your jar as part of its classpath. (E.g. java -jar my.jar will load my.jar in the system class loader.) This is not the case with web applications - application servers use complex class loading to isolate webapplications from each other and from the internals of the application server. For example, see the tomcat classloader how-to, and the diagram of the classloader hierarchy used.

EDIT: Normally, you would call getClass().getResourceAsStream() to retrieve a resource in the classpath, but as you are fetching the resource in a static initializer, you will need to explicitly name a class that is in the classloader you want to load from. The simplest approach is to use the class containing the static initializer, e.g.

[public] class MyClass {
  static
  {
    ...
    props.load(MyClass.class.getResourceAsStream("/someProps.properties"));
  }
}

Change the "From:" address in Unix "mail"

this worked for me

echo "hi root"|mail [email protected] -s'testinggg' root

Access host database from a docker container

Use host.docker.internal from Docker 18.03 onwards.

Git - Won't add files?

I had this problem with the first program in the folder. I did "git add" then "git commit". "git status" gave the error described i.e. "nothing to commit, working directory clean"

I ended up deleting the .git file from the program folder. Then I did a new git init, git add and git commit and it worked.

Unit Testing: DateTime.Now

Maybe less Professional but simpler solution could be make a DateTime parameter at consumer method.For example instead of make method like SampleMethod , make SampleMethod1 with parameter.Testing of SampleMethod1 is easier

public void SampleMethod()
    {
        DateTime anotherDateTime = DateTime.Today.AddDays(-10);
        if ((DateTime.Now-anotherDateTime).TotalDays>10)
        {

        }
    }
    public void SampleMethod1(DateTime dateTimeNow)
    {
        DateTime anotherDateTime = DateTime.Today.AddDays(-10);
        if ((dateTimeNow - anotherDateTime).TotalDays > 10)
        {

        }

    }

Compare dates with javascript

you can done this way also.

if (dateFormat(first, "yyyy-mm-dd") > dateFormat(second, "yyyy-mm-dd")) {
        console.log("done");
}

OR

if (dateFormat(first, "mm-dd-yyyy") >  dateFormat(second, "mm-dd-yyyy")) {
        console.log("done");
}

i use following plugin for dateFormat()

        var dateFormat = function () {
        var token = /d{1,4}|m{1,4}|yy(?:yy)?|([HhMsTt])\1?|[LloSZ]|"[^"]*"|'[^']*'/g,
            timezone = /\b(?:[PMCEA][SDP]T|(?:Pacific|Mountain|Central|Eastern|Atlantic) (?:Standard|Daylight|Prevailing) Time|(?:GMT|UTC)(?:[-+]\d{4})?)\b/g,
            timezoneClip = /[^-+\dA-Z]/g,
            pad = function (val, len) {
                val = String(val);
                len = len || 2;
                while (val.length < len) val = "0" + val;
                return val;
            };

        // Regexes and supporting functions are cached through closure
        return function (date, mask, utc) {
            var dF = dateFormat;

            // You can't provide utc if you skip other args (use the "UTC:" mask prefix)
            if (arguments.length == 1 && Object.prototype.toString.call(date) == "[object String]" && !/\d/.test(date)) {
                mask = date;
                date = undefined;
            }

            // Passing date through Date applies Date.parse, if necessary
            date = date ? new Date(date) : new Date;
            if (isNaN(date)) throw SyntaxError("invalid date");

            mask = String(dF.masks[mask] || mask || dF.masks["default"]);

            // Allow setting the utc argument via the mask
            if (mask.slice(0, 4) == "UTC:") {
                mask = mask.slice(4);
                utc = true;
            }

            var _ = utc ? "getUTC" : "get",
                d = date[_ + "Date"](),
                D = date[_ + "Day"](),

                L = date[_ + "Milliseconds"](),
                o = utc ? 0 : date.getTimezoneOffset(),

How to center an unordered list?

http://jsfiddle.net/psbu2/3/

If it is possible for you to use your own list bullets

Try this:

<html>
    <head>
        <style type="text/css">

            ul {
                margin:0;
                padding:0;
                text-align: center;
                list-style:none;                
            }
            ul  li {
                padding: 2px 5px;               
            }

            ul li:before {
                content:url(http://www.un.org/en/oaj/unjs/efiling/added/images/bullet-list-icon-blue.jpg);;
            }
        </style>
    </head>
    <body>

            <ul>
                <li>1</li>

Working Soap client example

To implement simple SOAP clients in Java, you can use the SAAJ framework (it is shipped with JSE 1.6 and above):

SOAP with Attachments API for Java (SAAJ) is mainly used for dealing directly with SOAP Request/Response messages which happens behind the scenes in any Web Service API. It allows the developers to directly send and receive soap messages instead of using JAX-WS.

See below a working example (run it!) of a SOAP web service call using SAAJ. It calls this web service.

import javax.xml.soap.*;

public class SOAPClientSAAJ {

    // SAAJ - SOAP Client Testing
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        /*
            The example below requests from the Web Service at:
             http://www.webservicex.net/uszip.asmx?op=GetInfoByCity


            To call other WS, change the parameters below, which are:
             - the SOAP Endpoint URL (that is, where the service is responding from)
             - the SOAP Action

            Also change the contents of the method createSoapEnvelope() in this class. It constructs
             the inner part of the SOAP envelope that is actually sent.
         */
        String soapEndpointUrl = "http://www.webservicex.net/uszip.asmx";
        String soapAction = "http://www.webserviceX.NET/GetInfoByCity";

        callSoapWebService(soapEndpointUrl, soapAction);
    }

    private static void createSoapEnvelope(SOAPMessage soapMessage) throws SOAPException {
        SOAPPart soapPart = soapMessage.getSOAPPart();

        String myNamespace = "myNamespace";
        String myNamespaceURI = "http://www.webserviceX.NET";

        // SOAP Envelope
        SOAPEnvelope envelope = soapPart.getEnvelope();
        envelope.addNamespaceDeclaration(myNamespace, myNamespaceURI);

            /*
            Constructed SOAP Request Message:
            <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:myNamespace="http://www.webserviceX.NET">
                <SOAP-ENV:Header/>
                <SOAP-ENV:Body>
                    <myNamespace:GetInfoByCity>
                        <myNamespace:USCity>New York</myNamespace:USCity>
                    </myNamespace:GetInfoByCity>
                </SOAP-ENV:Body>
            </SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
            */

        // SOAP Body
        SOAPBody soapBody = envelope.getBody();
        SOAPElement soapBodyElem = soapBody.addChildElement("GetInfoByCity", myNamespace);
        SOAPElement soapBodyElem1 = soapBodyElem.addChildElement("USCity", myNamespace);
        soapBodyElem1.addTextNode("New York");
    }

    private static void callSoapWebService(String soapEndpointUrl, String soapAction) {
        try {
            // Create SOAP Connection
            SOAPConnectionFactory soapConnectionFactory = SOAPConnectionFactory.newInstance();
            SOAPConnection soapConnection = soapConnectionFactory.createConnection();

            // Send SOAP Message to SOAP Server
            SOAPMessage soapResponse = soapConnection.call(createSOAPRequest(soapAction), soapEndpointUrl);

            // Print the SOAP Response
            System.out.println("Response SOAP Message:");
            soapResponse.writeTo(System.out);
            System.out.println();

            soapConnection.close();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.err.println("\nError occurred while sending SOAP Request to Server!\nMake sure you have the correct endpoint URL and SOAPAction!\n");
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    private static SOAPMessage createSOAPRequest(String soapAction) throws Exception {
        MessageFactory messageFactory = MessageFactory.newInstance();
        SOAPMessage soapMessage = messageFactory.createMessage();

        createSoapEnvelope(soapMessage);

        MimeHeaders headers = soapMessage.getMimeHeaders();
        headers.addHeader("SOAPAction", soapAction);

        soapMessage.saveChanges();

        /* Print the request message, just for debugging purposes */
        System.out.println("Request SOAP Message:");
        soapMessage.writeTo(System.out);
        System.out.println("\n");

        return soapMessage;
    }

Remove final character from string

What you are trying to do is an extension of string slicing in Python:

Say all strings are of length 10, last char to be removed:

>>> st[:9]
'abcdefghi'

To remove last N characters:

>>> N = 3
>>> st[:-N]
'abcdefg'

Error Code: 1062. Duplicate entry '1' for key 'PRIMARY'

If you are using PHPMyAdmin You can be solved this issue by doing this:

CAUTION: Don't use this solution if you want to maintain existing records in your table.

Step 1: Select database export method to custom:

enter image description here

Step 2: Please make sure to check truncate table before insert in data creation options:

enter image description here

Now you are able to import this database successfully.

Styling input buttons for iPad and iPhone

Please add this css code

-moz-appearance: none;
appearance: none;
}

Regular expression to extract text between square brackets

(?<=\[).*?(?=\]) works good as per explanation given above. Here's a Python example:

import re 
str = "Pagination.go('formPagination_bottom',2,'Page',true,'1',null,'2013')"
re.search('(?<=\[).*?(?=\])', str).group()
"'formPagination_bottom',2,'Page',true,'1',null,'2013'"

Regular Expression to select everything before and up to a particular text

((\n.*){0,3})(.*)\W*\.txt

This will select all the content before the particular word ".txt" including any context in different lines up to 3 lines
