Reference jars inside a jar

Add the jar files to your library(if using netbeans) and modify your manifest's file classpath as follows:

Class-Path: lib/derby.jar lib/derbyclient.jar lib/derbynet.jar lib/derbytools.jar

Are HTTPS headers encrypted?

The headers are entirely encrypted. The only information going over the network 'in the clear' is related to the SSL setup and D/H key exchange. This exchange is carefully designed not to yield any useful information to eavesdroppers, and once it has taken place, all data is encrypted.

Refresh Page and Keep Scroll Position

UPDATE

You can use document.location.reload(true) as mentioned below instead of the forced trick below.

Replace your HTML with this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <style type="text/css">
            body { 
                background-image: url('../Images/Black-BackGround.gif');
                background-repeat: repeat;
            }
            body td {
               font-Family: Arial; 
               font-size: 12px; 
            }
            #Nav a {

                text-decoration: none; 
                color:black; 
            }
        </style>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            function refreshPage () {
                var page_y = document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0].scrollTop;
                window.location.href = window.location.href.split('?')[0] + '?page_y=' + page_y;
            }
            window.onload = function () {
                setTimeout(refreshPage, 35000);
                if ( window.location.href.indexOf('page_y') != -1 ) {
                    var match = window.location.href.split('?')[1].split("&")[0].split("=");
                    document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0].scrollTop = match[1];
                }
            }
        </script>

Center form submit buttons HTML / CSS

 
/* here is what works for me - set up as a class */

.button {

/* you can set padding and width to whatever works best */

Deleting an SVN branch

Command to delete a branch is as follows:

svn delete -m "<your message>" <branch url>

If you wish to not fetch/checkout the entire repo, execute the following command on your terminal:

1) get the absolute path of the directory that will contain your working copy
> pwd
2) Start svn code checkout
> svn checkout <branch url> <absolute path from point 1>

The above steps will get you the files inside the branch folder and not the entire folder.

Collision resolution in Java HashMap

There is difference between collision and duplication. Collision means hashcode and bucket is same, but in duplicate, it will be same hashcode,same bucket, but here equals method come in picture.

Collision detected and you can add element on existing key. but in case of duplication it will replace new value.

String literals and escape characters in postgresql

The warning is issued since you are using backslashes in your strings. If you want to avoid the message, type this command "set standard_conforming_strings=on;". Then use "E" before your string including backslashes that you want postgresql to intrepret.

How to get request URL in Spring Boot RestController

Add a parameter of type UriComponentsBuilder to your controller method. Spring will give you an instance that's preconfigured with the URI for the current request, and you can then customize it (such as by using MvcUriComponentsBuilder.relativeTo to point at a different controller using the same prefix).

Reportviewer tool missing in visual studio 2017 RC

Download Microsoft Rdlc Report Designer for Visual Studio from this link. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ProBITools.MicrosoftRdlcReportDesignerforVisualStudio-18001

Microsoft explain the steps in details:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services/application-integration/integrating-reporting-services-using-reportviewer-controls-get-started?view=sql-server-2017

The following steps summarizes the above article.

Adding the Report Viewer control to a new web project:

  1. Create a new ASP.NET Empty Web Site or open an existing ASP.NET project.

  2. Install the Report Viewer control NuGet package via the NuGet package manager console. From Visual Studio -> Tools -> NuGet Package Manager -> Package Manager Console

    Install-Package Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportViewerControl.WebForms

  3. Add a new .aspx page to the project and register the Report Viewer control assembly for use within the page.

    <%@ Register assembly="Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91" namespace="Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms" tagprefix="rsweb" %>

  4. Add a ScriptManagerControl to the page.

  5. Add the Report Viewer control to the page. The snippet below can be updated to reference a report hosted on a remote report server.

     <rsweb:ReportViewer ID="ReportViewer1" runat="server" ProcessingMode="Remote">
 <ServerReport ReportPath="" ReportServerUrl="" /></rsweb:ReportViewer>

The final page should look like the following.

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="WebForm1.aspx.cs" Inherits="Sample" %>

<%@ Register assembly="Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91" namespace="Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms" tagprefix="rsweb" %>

How to execute a Ruby script in Terminal?

Assuming ruby interpreter is in your PATH (it should be), you simply run

ruby your_file.rb

Export table to file with column headers (column names) using the bcp utility and SQL Server 2008

For:

  • Windows, 64 bit
  • SQL Server (tested with SQL Server 2017 and it should work for all versions):

Option 1: Command Prompt

sqlcmd -s, -W -Q "set nocount on; select * from [DATABASE].[dbo].[TABLENAME]" | findstr /v /c:"-" /b > "c:\dirname\file.csv"

Where:

  • [DATABASE].[dbo].[TABLENAME] is table to write.
  • c:\dirname\file.csv is file to write to (surrounded in quotes to handle a path with spaces).
  • Output .csv file includes headers.

Note: I tend to avoid bcp: it is legacy, it predates sqlcmd by a decade, and it never seems to work without causing a whole raft of headaches.

Option 2: Within SQL Script

-- Export table [DATABASE].[dbo].[TABLENAME] to .csv file c:\dirname\file.csv
exec master..xp_cmdshell 'sqlcmd -s, -W -Q "set nocount on; select * from [DATABASE].[dbo].[TABLENAME]" | findstr /v /c:"-" /b > "c:\dirname\file.csv"'

Troubleshoooting: must enable xp_cmdshell within MSSQL.

Sample Output

File: file.csv:

ID,Name,Height
1,Bob,192
2,Jane,184
3,Harry,186

Speed

As fast as theoretically possible: same speed as bcp, and many times faster than manually exporting from SSMS.

Parameter Explanation (optional - can ignore)

In sqlcmd:

  • -s, puts a comma between each column.
  • -W eliminates padding either side of the values.
  • set nocount on eliminates a garbage line at the end of the query.

For findstr:

  • All this does is remove the second line underline underneath the header, e.g. --- ----- ---- ---- ----- --.
  • /v /c:"-" matches any line that starts with "-".
  • /b returns all other lines.

Importing into other programs

In Excel:

  • Can directly open the file in Excel.

In Python:

import pandas as pd
df_raw = pd.read_csv("c:\dirname\file.csv")

Chrome / Safari not filling 100% height of flex parent

Specifying a flex attribute to the container worked for me:

.container {
    flex: 0 0 auto;
}

This ensures the height is set and doesn't grow either.

How to wait until an element exists?

Here's a function that acts as a thin wrapper around MutationObserver. The only requirement is that the browser support MutationObserver; there is no dependency on JQuery. Run the snippet below to see a working example.

Including a .js file within a .js file

I use @gnarf's method, though I fall back on document.writelning a <script> tag for IE<7 as I couldn't get DOM creation to work reliably in IE6 (and TBH didn't care enough to put much effort into it). The core of my code is:

if (horus.script.broken) {
    document.writeln('<script type="text/javascript" src="'+script+'"></script>');   
    horus.script.loaded(script);
} else {
    var s=document.createElement('script');
    s.type='text/javascript';
    s.src=script;
    s.async=true;

    if (horus.brokenDOM){
        s.onreadystatechange=
            function () {
                if (this.readyState=='loaded' || this.readyState=='complete'){
                    horus.script.loaded(script);
                }
        }
    }else{
        s.onload=function () { horus.script.loaded(script) };
    }

    document.head.appendChild(s);
}

where horus.script.loaded() notes that the javascript file is loaded, and calls any pending uncalled routines (saved by autoloader code).

Java: Reading integers from a file into an array

It looks like Java is trying to convert an empty string into a number. Do you have an empty line at the end of the series of numbers?

You could probably fix the code like this

String s = in.readLine();
int i = 0;

while (s != null) {
    // Skip empty lines.
    s = s.trim();
    if (s.length() == 0) {
        continue;
    }

    tall[i] = Integer.parseInt(s); // This is line 19.
    System.out.println(tall[i]);
    s = in.readLine();
    i++;
}

in.close();

warning: implicit declaration of function

When you get the error: implicit declaration of function it should also list the offending function. Often this error happens because of a forgotten or missing header file, so at the shell prompt you can type man 2 functionname and look at the SYNOPSIS section at the top, as this section will list any header files that need to be included. Or try http://linux.die.net/man/ This is the online man pages they are hyperlinked and easy to search. Functions are often defined in the header files, including any required header files is often the answer. Like cnicutar said,

You are using a function for which the compiler has not seen a declaration ("prototype") yet.

How to change progress bar's progress color in Android

 
ProgressBar bar;

private Handler progressBarHandler = new Handler();

GradientDrawable progressGradientDrawable = new GradientDrawable(
        GradientDrawable.Orientation.LEFT_RIGHT, new int[]{
                0xff1e90ff,0xff006ab6,0xff367ba8});
ClipDrawable progressClipDrawable = new ClipDrawable(
        progressGradientDrawable, Gravity.LEFT, ClipDrawable.HORIZONTAL);
Drawable[] progressDrawables = {
        new ColorDrawable(0xffffffff),
        progressClipDrawable, progressClipDrawable};
LayerDrawable progressLayerDrawable = new LayerDrawable(progressDrawables);


int status = 0;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    setContentView(R.layout.startup);

    bar = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.start_page_progressBar);
    bar.setProgress(0);
    bar.setMax(100);

    progressLayerDrawable.setId(0, android.R.id.background);
    progressLayerDrawable.setId(1, android.R.id.secondaryProgress);
    progressLayerDrawable.setId(2, android.R.id.progress);

    bar.setProgressDrawable(progressLayerDrawable);
}

This helped me to set a custom color to progressbar through code. Hope it helps

Unexpected 'else' in "else" error

I would suggest to read up a bit on the syntax. See here.

if (dsnt<0.05) {
  wilcox.test(distance[result=='nt'],distance[result=='t'],alternative=c("two.sided"),paired=TRUE) 
} else if (dst<0.05) {
    wilcox.test(distance[result=='nt'],distance[result=='t'],alternative=c("two.sided"),paired=TRUE)
} else 
  t.test(distance[result=='nt'],distance[result=='t'],alternative=c("two.sided"),paired=TRUE)

Python: access class property from string
  • getattr(x, 'y') is equivalent to x.y
  • setattr(x, 'y', v) is equivalent to x.y = v
  • delattr(x, 'y') is equivalent to del x.y

What order are the Junit @Before/@After called?

If you turn things around, you can declare your base class abstract, and have descendants declare setUp and tearDown methods (without annotations) that are called in the base class' annotated setUp and tearDown methods.

Update cordova plugins in one command

I got tired of manually checking for plugin updates so created a tool to do it for me: https://github.com/dpa99c/cordova-check-plugins

Install it globally:

$ npm install -g cordova-check-plugins

Then run from the root of your Cordova project. You can optionally update outdated plugins interactively or automatically, e.g.

$ cordova-check-plugins --update=auto

How to insert element into arrays at specific position?

 
$list = array(
'Tunisia' => 'Tunis',
'Germany' => 'Berlin',
'Italy' => 'Rom',
'Egypt' => 'Cairo'
);
$afterIndex = 2;
$newVal= array('Palestine' => 'Jerusalem');

$newList = array_merge(array_slice($list,0,$afterIndex+1), $newVal,array_slice($list,$afterIndex+1));

Why use def main()?

Consider the second script. If you import it in another one, the instructions, as at "global level", will be executed.

How to sort a List of objects by their date (java collections, List<Object>)

You're using Comparators incorrectly.

 Collections.sort(movieItems, new Comparator<Movie>(){
           public int compare (Movie m1, Movie m2){
               return m1.getDate().compareTo(m2.getDate());
           }
       });

How can I check if a date is the same day as datetime.today()?

If you want to just compare dates,

yourdatetime.date() < datetime.today().date()

Or, obviously,

yourdatetime.date() == datetime.today().date()

If you want to check that they're the same date.

The documentation is usually helpful. It is also usually the first google result for python thing_i_have_a_question_about. Unless your question is about a function/module named "snake".

Basically, the datetime module has three types for storing a point in time:

  • date for year, month, day of month
  • time for hours, minutes, seconds, microseconds, time zone info
  • datetime combines date and time. It has the methods date() and time() to get the corresponding date and time objects, and there's a handy combine function to combine date and time into a datetime.

Best way to use multiple SSH private keys on one client

For those who are working with I would highly recommend working with EC2 Instance Connect.

Amazon EC2 Instance Connect provides a simple and secure way to connect to your instances using Secure Shell (SSH).

With EC2 Instance Connect, you use AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies and principles to control SSH access to your instances, removing the need to share and manage SSH keys.

After installing the relevant packages (pip install ec2instanceconnectcli or cloning the repo directly) you can connect very easy to multiple EC2 instances by just changing the instance id:

enter image description here

What is happening behind the scenes?

When you connect to an instance using EC2 Instance Connect, the Instance Connect API pushes a one-time-use SSH public key to the instance metadata where it remains for 60 seconds. An IAM policy attached to your IAM user authorizes your IAM user to push the public key to the instance metadata.

The SSH daemon uses AuthorizedKeysCommand and AuthorizedKeysCommandUser, which are configured when Instance Connect is installed, to look up the public key from the instance metadata for authentication, and connects you to the instance.

(*) Amazon Linux 2 2.0.20190618 or later and Ubuntu 20.04 or later comes preconfigured with EC2 Instance Connect. For other supported Linux distributions, you must set up Instance Connect for every instance that will support using Instance Connect. This is a one-time requirement for each instance.

Only allow specific characters in textbox

Intercept the KeyPressed event is in my opinion a good solid solution. Pay attention to trigger code characters (e.KeyChar lower then 32) if you use a RegExp.

But in this way is still possible to inject characters out of range whenever the user paste text from the clipboard. Unfortunately I did not found correct clipboard events to fix this.

So a waterproof solution is to intercept TextBox.TextChanged. Here is sometimes the original out of range character visible, for a short time. I recommend to implement both.

using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

private void Form1_Shown(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

should use size_t or ssize_t

ssize_t is used for functions whose return value could either be a valid size, or a negative value to indicate an error. It is guaranteed to be able to store values at least in the range [-1, SSIZE_MAX] (SSIZE_MAX is system-dependent).

So you should use size_t whenever you mean to return a size in bytes, and ssize_t whenever you would return either a size in bytes or a (negative) error value.

Javascript: Call a function after specific time period

You can use JavaScript Timing Events to call function after certain interval of time:

This shows the alert box after 3 seconds:

setInterval(function(){alert("Hello")},3000);

You can use two method of time event in javascript.i.e.

  1. setInterval(): executes a function, over and over again, at specified time intervals
  2. setTimeout() : executes a function, once, after waiting a specified number of milliseconds

C++ Structure Initialization

In C++ the C-style initializers were replaced by constructors which by compile time can ensure that only valid initializations are performed (i.e. after initialization the object members are consistent).

It is a good practice, but sometimes a pre-initialization is handy, like in your example. OOP solves this by abstract classes or creational design patterns.

In my opinion, using this secure way kills the simplicity and sometimes the security trade-off might be too expensive, since simple code does not need sophisticated design to stay maintainable.

As an alternative solution, I suggest to define macros using lambdas to simplify the initialization to look almost like C-style:

struct address {
  int street_no;
  const char *street_name;
  const char *city;
  const char *prov;
  const char *postal_code;
};
#define ADDRESS_OPEN [] { address _={};
#define ADDRESS_CLOSE ; return _; }()
#define ADDRESS(x) ADDRESS_OPEN x ADDRESS_CLOSE

The ADDRESS macro expands to

[] { address _={}; /* definition... */ ; return _; }()

which creates and calls the lambda. Macro parameters are also comma separated, so you need to put the initializer into brackets and call like

address temp_address = ADDRESS(( _.city = "Hamilton", _.prov = "Ontario" ));

You could also write generalized macro initializer

#define INIT_OPEN(type) [] { type _={};
#define INIT_CLOSE ; return _; }()
#define INIT(type,x) INIT_OPEN(type) x INIT_CLOSE

but then the call is slightly less beautiful

address temp_address = INIT(address,( _.city = "Hamilton", _.prov = "Ontario" ));

however you can define the ADDRESS macro using general INIT macro easily

#define ADDRESS(x) INIT(address,x)

When should I use Kruskal as opposed to Prim (and vice versa)?

I found a very nice thread on the net that explains the difference in a very straightforward way : http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=232168.

Kruskal's algorithm will grow a solution from the cheapest edge by adding the next cheapest edge, provided that it doesn't create a cycle.

Prim's algorithm will grow a solution from a random vertex by adding the next cheapest vertex, the vertex that is not currently in the solution but connected to it by the cheapest edge.

Here attached is an interesting sheet on that topic.enter image description hereenter image description here

If you implement both Kruskal and Prim, in their optimal form : with a union find and a finbonacci heap respectively, then you will note how Kruskal is easy to implement compared to Prim.

Prim is harder with a fibonacci heap mainly because you have to maintain a book-keeping table to record the bi-directional link between graph nodes and heap nodes. With a Union Find, it's the opposite, the structure is simple and can even produce directly the mst at almost no additional cost.

Error: JavaFX runtime components are missing, and are required to run this application with JDK 11

This worked for me:

File >> Project Structure >> Modules >> Dependency >> + (on left-side of window)

clicking the "+" sign will let you designate the directory where you have unpacked JavaFX's "lib" folder.

Scope is Compile (which is the default.) You can then edit this to call it JavaFX by double-clicking on the line.

then in:

Run >> Edit Configurations

Add this line to VM Options:

--module-path /path/to/JavaFX/lib --add-modules=javafx.controls

(oh and don't forget to set the SDK)

How to close a Java Swing application from the code

Take a look at the Oracle Documentation.

Starting from JDK 1.4 an Application terminates if:

  • There are no displayable AWT or Swing components.
  • There are no native events in the native event queue.
  • There are no AWT events in java EventQueues.

Cornercases:

The document states that some packages create displayable components without releasing them.A program which calls Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit() won't terminate. is among others given as an example.

Also other Processes can keep AWT alive when they, for what ever reason, are sending events into the native event queue.

Also I noticed that on some Systems it takes a coupple of seconds before the Application actually terminates.

nginx 502 bad gateway

Hope this tip will save someone else's life. In my case the problem was that I ran out of memory, but only slightly, was hard to think about it. Wasted 3hrs on that. I recommend running:

sudo htop

or

sudo free -m

...along with running problematic requests on the server to see if your memory doesn't run out. And if it does like in my case, you need to create a swap file (unless you already have one).

I have followed this tutorial to create swap file on Ubuntu Server 14.04 and it worked just fine: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-create-add-swap-file/

How to change row color in datagridview?

You have not mentioned how value is changed. I have used similar functionality when user is entering value. i.e. entering and leaving edit mode.

Using CellEndEdit event of datagridview.

private void dgMapTable_CellEndEdit(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
    double newInteger;

    if (double.TryParse(dgMapTable[e.ColumnIndex,e.RowIndex].Value.ToString(), out newInteger)
    {
        if (newInteger < 0 || newInteger > 50)
        {
            dgMapTable[e.ColumnIndex, e.RowIndex].Style.BackColor = Color.Red; 

            dgMapTable[e.ColumnIndex, e.RowIndex].ErrorText 
                = "Keep value in Range:" + "0 to " + "50";
        }
    }                               
}

You may add logic for clearing error notification in a similar way.

if in your case, if data is loaded programmatically, then CellLeave event can be used with same code.

How to execute Python code from within Visual Studio Code

To extend vlad2135's answer (read his first); that is how you set up Python debugging in Visual Studio Code with Don Jayamanne's great Python extension (which is a pretty full featured IDE for Python these days, and arguably one of Visual Studio Code's best language extensions, IMO).

Basically, when you click the gear icon, it creates a launch.json file in your .vscode directory in your workspace. You can also make this yourself, but it's probably just simpler to let Visual Studio Code do the heavy lifting. Here's an example file:

File launch.json

You'll notice something cool after you generate it. It automatically created a bunch of configurations (most of mine are cut off; just scroll to see them all) with different settings and extra features for different libraries or environments (like Django).

The one you'll probably end up using the most is Python; which is a plain (in my case C)Python debugger and is easiest to work with settings wise.

I'll make a short walkthrough of the JSON attributes for this one, since the others use the pretty much same configuration with only different interpreter paths and one or two different other features there.

  • name: The name of the configuration. A useful example of why you would change it is if you have two Python configurations which use the same type of config, but different arguments. It's what shows up in the box you see on the top left (my box says "python" since I'm using the default Python configuration).
  • type: Interpreter type. You generally don't want to change this one.
  • request: How you want to run your code, and you generally don't want to change this one either. Default value is "launch", but changing it to "attach" allows the debugger to attach to an already running Python process. Instead of changing it, add a configuration of type attach and use that.
  • stopOnEntry: Python debuggers like to have an invisible break-point when you start the program so you can see the entry-point file and where your first line of active code is. It drives some C#/Java programmers like me insane. false if you don't want it, true otherwise.
  • pythonPath: The path to your install of Python. The default value gets the extension level default in the user/workspace settings. Change it here if you want to have different Pythons for different debug processes. Change it in workspace settings if you want to change it for all debug processes set to the default configuration in a project. Change it in user setting to change where the extension finds Pythons across all projects. (4/12/2017 The following was fixed in extension version 0.6.1). Ironically enough, this gets auto-generated wrong. It auto-generates to "${config.python.pythonPath}" which is deprecated in the newer Visual Studio Code versions. It might still work, but you should use "${config:python.pythonPath}" instead for your default first python on your path or Visual Studio Code settings. (4/6/2017 Edit: This should be fixed in the next release. The team committed the fix a few days ago.)
  • program: The initial file that you debugger starts up when you hit run. "${workspaceRoot}" is the root folder you opened up as your workspace (When you go over to the file icon, the base open folder). Another neat trick if you want to get your program running quickly, or you have multiple entry points to your program is to set this to "${file}" which will start debugging at the file you have open and in focus in the moment you hit debug.
  • cwd: The current working directory folder of the project you're running. Usually you'll just want to leave this "${workspaceRoot}".
  • debugOptions: Some debugger flags. The ones in the picture are default flags, you can find more flags in the python debugger pages, I'm sure.
  • args: This isn't actually a default configuration setting, but a useful one nonetheless (and probably what the OP was asking about). These are the command line arguments that you pass in to your program. The debugger passes these in as though they you had typed: python file.py [args] into your terminal; passing each JSON string in the list to the program in order.

You can go here for more information on the Visual Studio Code file variables you can use to configure your debuggers and paths.

You can go here for the extension's own documentation on launch options, with both optional and required attributes.

You can click the Add Configuration button at the bottom right if you don't see the config template already in the file. It'll give you a list to auto generate a configuration for most of the common debug processes out there.

Now, as per vlad's answer, you may add any breakpoints you need as per normal visual debuggers, choose which run configuration you want in the top left dropdown menu and you can tap the green arrow to the left to the configuration name to start your program.

Pro tip: Different people on your team use different IDEs and they probably don't need your configuration files. Visual Studio Code nearly always puts it's IDE files in one place (by design for this purpose; I assume), launch or otherwise so make sure to add directory .vscode/ to your .gitignore if this is your first time generating a Visual Studio Code file (this process will create the folder in your workspace if you don't have it already)!

Disable html5 video autoplay

Get selected value in dropdown list using JavaScript

In more modern browsers, querySelector allows us to retrieve the selected option in one statement, using the :checked pseudo-class. From the selected option, we can gather whatever information we need:

_x000D_
_x000D_ 
const opt = document.querySelector('#ddlViewBy option:checked');_x000D_
// opt is now the selected option, so_x000D_
console.log(opt.value, 'is the selected value');_x000D_
console.log(opt.text, "is the selected option's text");
_x000D_ 
<select id="ddlViewBy">_x000D_
  <option value="1">test1</option>_x000D_
  <option value="2" selected="selected">test2</option>_x000D_
  <option value="3">test3</option>_x000D_
</select>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

How can I get a specific number child using CSS?

For modern browsers, use td:nth-child(2) for the second td, and td:nth-child(3) for the third. Remember that these retrieve the second and third td for every row.

If you need compatibility with IE older than version 9, use sibling combinators or JavaScript as suggested by Tim. Also see my answer to this related question for an explanation and illustration of his method.

How to move (and overwrite) all files from one directory to another?

It's just mv srcdir/* targetdir/.

If there are too many files in srcdir you might want to try something like the following approach:

cd srcdir
find -exec mv {} targetdir/ +

In contrast to \; the final + collects arguments in an xargs like manner instead of executing mv once for every file.

A completely free agile software process tool

Although, I'm a big fan of Kanban Tool service (it has everything you need except free of charge) and therefore it's difficult for me to stay objective, I think that should go for Trello or Kanban Flow. Both are free and both provide basic features that are essential for agile process managers and their teams.

How to permanently add a private key with ssh-add on Ubuntu?

I tried @Aaron's solution and it didn't quite work for me, because it would re-add my keys every time I opened a new tab in my terminal. So I modified it a bit(note that most of my keys are also password-protected so I can't just send the output to /dev/null): 

added_keys=`ssh-add -l`

if [ ! $(echo $added_keys | grep -o -e my_key) ]; then
    ssh-add "$HOME/.ssh/my_key"
fi

What this does is that it checks the output of ssh-add -l(which lists all keys that have been added) for a specific key and if it doesn't find it, then it adds it with ssh-add.

Now the first time I open my terminal I'm asked for the passwords for my private keys and I'm not asked again until I reboot(or logout - I haven't checked) my computer.

Since I have a bunch of keys I store the output of ssh-add -l in a variable to improve performance(at least I guess it improves performance :) )

PS: I'm on linux and this code went to my ~/.bashrc file - if you are on Mac OS X, then I assume you should add it to .zshrc or .profile

EDIT: As pointed out by @Aaron in the comments, the .zshrc file is used from the zsh shell - so if you're not using that(if you're not sure, then most likely, you're using bash instead), this code should go to your .bashrc file.

CSS: Fix row height

I haven't tried it but if you put a div in your table cell set so that it will have scrollbars if needed, then you could insert in there, with a fixed height on the div and it should keep your table row to a fixed height.

How to check java bit version on Linux?

Why don't you examine System.getProperty("os.arch") value in your code?

encrypt and decrypt md5

Hashes can not be decrypted check this out.

If you want to encrypt-decrypt, use a two way encryption function of your database like - AES_ENCRYPT (in MySQL).

But I'll suggest CRYPT_BLOWFISH algorithm for storing password. Read this- http://php.net/manual/en/function.crypt.php and http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.password-hash.php

For Blowfish by crypt() function - 

crypt('String', '$2a$07$twentytwocharactersalt$');

password_hash will be introduced in PHP 5.5.

$options = [
    'cost' => 7,
    'salt' => 'BCryptRequires22Chrcts',
];
password_hash("rasmuslerdorf", PASSWORD_BCRYPT, $options);

Once you have stored the password, you can then check if the user has entered correct password by hashing it again and comparing it with the stored value.

How do you get the width and height of a multi-dimensional array?

You use Array.GetLength with the index of the dimension you wish to retrieve.

Mercurial stuck "waiting for lock"

When "waiting for lock on repository", delete the repository file: .hg/wlock (or it may be in .hg/store/lock)

When deleting the lock file, you must make sure nothing else is accessing the repository. (If the lock is a string of zeros or blank, this is almost certainly true).

Bootstrap Carousel : Remove auto slide

From the official docs:

interval The amount of time to delay between automatically cycling an item. If false, carousel will not automatically cycle.

You can either pass this value with javascript or using a data-interval="false" attribute.

Strings and character with printf

 
%c

is designed for a single character a char, so it print only one element.Passing the char array as a pointer you are passing the address of the first element of the array(that is a single char) and then will be printed :

s

printf("%c\n",*name++);

will print

i

and so on ...

Pointer is not needed for the %s because it can work directly with String of characters.

Difference between View and Request scope in managed beans

A @ViewScoped bean lives exactly as long as a JSF view. It usually starts with a fresh new GET request, or with a navigation action, and will then live as long as the enduser submits any POST form in the view to an action method which returns null or void (and thus navigates back to the same view). Once you refresh the page, or return a non-null string (even an empty string!) navigation outcome, then the view scope will end.

A @RequestScoped bean lives exactly as long a HTTP request. It will thus be garbaged by end of every request and recreated on every new request, hereby losing all changed properties.

A @ViewScoped bean is thus particularly more useful in rich Ajax-enabled views which needs to remember the (changed) view state across Ajax requests. A @RequestScoped one would be recreated on every Ajax request and thus fail to remember all changed view state. Note that a @ViewScoped bean does not share any data among different browser tabs/windows in the same session like as a @SessionScoped bean. Every view has its own unique @ViewScoped bean.

Check whether a string is not null and not empty

For completeness: If you are already using the Spring framework, the StringUtils provide the method

org.springframework.util.StringUtils.hasLength(String str)

Returns: true if the String is not null and has length

as well as the method

org.springframework.util.StringUtils.hasText(String str)

Returns: true if the String is not null, its length is greater than 0, and it does not contain whitespace only

Changing image size in Markdown

If you are writing MarkDown for PanDoc, you can do this:

How to make "if not true condition"?

try

if ! grep -q sysa /etc/passwd ; then

grep returns true if it finds the search target, and false if it doesn't.

So NOT false == true.

if evaluation in shells are designed to be very flexible, and many times doesn't require chains of commands (as you have written).

Also, looking at your code as is, your use of the $( ... ) form of cmd-substitution is to be commended, but think about what is coming out of the process. Try echo $(cat /etc/passwd | grep "sysa") to see what I mean. You can take that further by using the -c (count) option to grep and then do if ! [ $(grep -c "sysa" /etc/passwd) -eq 0 ] ; then which works but is rather old school.

BUT, you could use the newest shell features (arithmetic evaluation) like

if ! (( $(grep -c "sysa" /etc/passwd) == 0 )) ; then ...`

which also gives you the benefit of using the c-lang based comparison operators, ==,<,>,>=,<=,% and maybe a few others.

In this case, per a comment by Orwellophile, the arithmetic evaluation can be pared down even further, like

if ! (( $(grep -c "sysa" /etc/passwd) )) ; then ....

OR

if (( ! $(grep -c "sysa" /etc/passwd) )) ; then ....

Finally, there is an award called the Useless Use of Cat (UUOC). :-) Some people will jump up and down and cry gothca! I'll just say that grep can take a file name on its cmd-line, so why invoke extra processes and pipe constructions when you don't have to? ;-)

I hope this helps.

json.net has key method?

Just use x["error_msg"]. If the property doesn't exist, it returns null.

Access key value from Web.config in Razor View-MVC3 ASP.NET

Here's a real world example with the use of non-minified versus minified assets in your layout.

Web.Config

<appSettings>

   <add key="Environment" value="Dev" />

 </appSettings>

Razor Template - use that var above like this:

@if (System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Environment"] == "Dev")
{    
    <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="@Url.Content("~/Content/styles/theme.css" )">    

}else{        

   <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="@Url.Content("~/Content/styles/blue_theme.min.css" )">    

}

PHP how to get local IP of system

How to get all Errors from ASP.Net MVC modelState?

I was able to do this using a little LINQ, 

public static List<string> GetErrorListFromModelState
                                              (ModelStateDictionary modelState)
{
      var query = from state in modelState.Values
                  from error in state.Errors
                  select error.ErrorMessage;

      var errorList = query.ToList();
      return errorList;
}

The above method returns a list of validation errors.

Bash script to cd to directory with spaces in pathname

After struggling with the same problem, I tried two different solutions that works:

1. Use double quotes ("") with your variables.

Easiest way just double quotes your variables as pointed in previous answer:

cd "$yourPathWithBlankSpace"

2. Make use of eval.

According to this answer Unix command to escape spaces you can strip blank space then make use of eval, like this:

yourPathEscaped=$(printf %q "$yourPathWithBlankSpace")
eval cd $yourPathEscaped

Git fetch remote branch

If you have a repository that was cloned with --depth 1 then many of the commands that were listed will not work. For example, see here

% git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/repo/code
Cloning into 'code'...
cd code
remote: Counting objects: 1778, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (1105/1105), done.
remote: Total 1778 (delta 87), reused 1390 (delta 58), pack-reused 0
Receiving objects: 100% (1778/1778), 5.54 MiB | 4.33 MiB/s, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (87/87), done.
Checking connectivity... done.
Checking out files: 100% (1215/1215), done.
% cd code
% git checkout other_branch
error: pathspec 'other_branch' did not match any file(s) known to git.
% git fetch origin other_branch
remote: Counting objects: 47289, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (15906/15906), done.
remote: Total 47289 (delta 30151), reused 46699 (delta 29570), pack-reused 0
Receiving objects: 100% (47289/47289), 31.03 MiB | 5.70 MiB/s, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (30151/30151), completed with 362 local objects.
From https://github.com/repo/code
 * branch            other_branch-> FETCH_HEAD
% git checkout other_branch
error: pathspec 'other_branch' did not match any file(s) known to git.
%

In this case I would reclone the repository, but perhaps there are other techniques e.g. git shallow clone (clone --depth) misses remote branches

What is App.config in C#.NET? How to use it?

Simply, App.config is an XML based file format that holds the Application Level Configurations.

Example:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
  <appSettings>
    <add key="key" value="test" />
  </appSettings>
</configuration>

You can access the configurations by using ConfigurationManager as shown in the piece of code snippet below:

var value = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["key"];
// value is now "test"

Note: ConfigurationSettings is obsolete method to retrieve configuration information.

var value = System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["key"];

How to show grep result with complete path or file name

It is similar to BVB Media's answer.

grep -rnw 'blablabla' `pwd`

It works fine on my ubuntu bash.

Android BroadcastReceiver within Activity

I think your problem is that you send the broadcast before the other activity start ! so the other activity will not receive anything .

  1. The best practice to test your code is to sendbroadcast from thread or from a service so the activity is opened and its registered the receiver and the background process sends a message.
  2. start the ToastDisplay activity from the sender activity ( I didn't test that but it may work probably )

How to convert milliseconds into a readable date?

You can do it with just a few lines of pure js codes.

var date = new Date(1324339200000);
    var dateToStr = date.toUTCString().split(' ');
    var cleanDate = dateToStr[2] + ' ' + dateToStr[1] ;
console.log(cleanDate);

returns Dec 20. Hope it helps.

How do you copy the contents of an array to a std::vector in C++ without looping?

Since I can only edit my own answer, I'm going to make a composite answer from the other answers to my question. Thanks to all of you who answered.

Using std::copy, this still iterates in the background, but you don't have to type out the code.

int foo(int* data, int size)
{
   static std::vector<int> my_data; //normally a class variable
   std::copy(data, data + size, std::back_inserter(my_data));
   return 0;
}

Using regular memcpy. This is probably best used for basic data types (i.e. int) but not for more complex arrays of structs or classes.

vector<int> x(size);
memcpy(&x[0], source, size*sizeof(int));

How do I check if a PowerShell module is installed?

The ListAvailable option doesn't work for me. Instead this does:

if (-not (Get-Module -Name "<moduleNameHere>")) {
    # module is not loaded
}

Or, to be more succinct:

if (!(Get-Module "<moduleNameHere>")) {
    # module is not loaded
}

Html.HiddenFor value property not getting set

I believe there is a simpler solution. You must use Html.Hidden instead of Html.HiddenFor. Look:

@Html.Hidden("CRN", ViewData["crn"]);

This will create an INPUT tag of type="hidden", with id="CRN" and name="CRN", and the correct value inside the value attribute.

Hope it helps!

Carriage return in C?

From 5.2.2/2 (character display semantics) :

\b (backspace) Moves the active position to the previous position on the current line. If the active position is at the initial position of a line, the behavior of the display device is unspecified.

\n (new line) Moves the active position to the initial position of the next line.

\r (carriage return) Moves the active position to the initial position of the current line.

Here, your code produces :

  • <new_line>ab
  • \b : back one character
  • write si : overrides the b with s (producing asi on the second line)
  • \r : back at the beginning of the current line
  • write ha : overrides the first two characters (producing hai on the second line)

In the end, the output is :

\nhai

Parse rfc3339 date strings in Python?

You can use dateutil.parser.parse (install with python -m pip install python-dateutil) to parse strings into datetime objects.

dateutil.parser.parse will attempt to guess the format of your string, if you know the exact format in advance then you can use datetime.strptime which you supply a format string to (see Brent Washburne's answer).

from dateutil.parser import parse

a = "2012-10-09T19:00:55Z"

b = parse(a)

print(b.weekday())
# 1 (equal to a Tuesday)

c# datagridview doubleclick on row with FullRowSelect

Don't manually edit the .designer files in visual studio that usually leads to headaches. Instead either specify it in the properties section of your DataGridRow which should be contained within a DataGrid element. Or if you just want VS to do it for you find the double click event within the properties page->events (little lightning bolt icon) and double click the text area where you would enter a function name for that event.

Disable mouse scroll wheel zoom on embedded Google Maps

I tried the first answer in this discussion and it wasn't working for me no matter what I did so I came up with my own solution:

Wrap the iframe with a class (.maps in this example) and ideally embedresponsively code: http://embedresponsively.com/ — Change the CSS of the iframe to pointer-events: none and then using jQuery's click function to the parent element you can change the iframes css to pointer-events:auto

HTML

<div class='embed-container maps'>
    <iframe width='600' height='450' frameborder='0' src='http://foo.com'></iframe>
</div>

CSS

.maps iframe{
    pointer-events: none;
}

jQuery

$('.maps').click(function () {
    $('.maps iframe').css("pointer-events", "auto");
});

$( ".maps" ).mouseleave(function() {
  $('.maps iframe').css("pointer-events", "none"); 
});

I'm sure there's a JavaScript only way of doing this, if someone wants to add to this feel free.

The JavaScript way to reactivate the pointer-events is pretty simple. Just give an Id to the iFrame (i.e. "iframe"), then apply an onclick event to the cointainer div: 

onclick="document.getElementById('iframe').style.pointerEvents= 'auto'"

<div class="maps" onclick="document.getElementById('iframe').style.pointerEvents= 'auto'">
   <iframe id="iframe" src="" width="100%" height="450" frameborder="0" style="border:0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>

Cleanest way to build an SQL string in Java

Installing pip packages to $HOME folder

While you can use a virtualenv, you don't need to. The trick is passing the PEP370 --user argument to the setup.py script. With the latest version of pip, one way to do it is:

pip install --user mercurial

This should result in the hg script being installed in $HOME/.local/bin/hg and the rest of the hg package in $HOME/.local/lib/pythonx.y/site-packages/.

Note, that the above is true for Python 2.6. There has been a bit of controversy among the Python core developers about what is the appropriate directory location on Mac OS X for PEP370-style user installations. In Python 2.7 and 3.2, the location on Mac OS X was changed from $HOME/.local to $HOME/Library/Python. This might change in a future release. But, for now, on 2.7 (and 3.2, if hg were supported on Python 3), the above locations will be $HOME/Library/Python/x.y/bin/hg and $HOME/Library/Python/x.y/lib/python/site-packages.

1.9.3p362 :006 > h = Hash[a]

 => {1=>2, 3=>4}

How to remove a character at the end of each line in unix

An awk code based on RS.

awk '1' RS=',\n' file

or:

awk 'BEGIN{RS=",\n"}1' file

This last example will be valid for any char before newline:

awk '1' RS='.\n' file

Note: dot . matches any character except line breaks.

Explanation

awk allows us to use different record (line) regex separators, we just need to include the comma before the line break (or dot for any char) in the one used for the input, the RS.

Note: what that 1 means?

Short answer, It's just a shortcut to avoid using the print statement. In awk when a condition gets matched the default action is to print the input line, example:

$ echo "test" |awk '1'
test

That's because 1 will be always true, so this expression is equivalent to:

$ echo "test"|awk '1==1'
test
$ echo "test"|awk '{if (1==1){print}}'
test

Check Record Splitting with Standard awk and Output Separators.

PHP simple foreach loop with HTML

This will work although when embedding PHP in HTML it is better practice to use the following form:

<table>
    <?php foreach($array as $key=>$value): ?>
    <tr>
        <td><?= $key; ?></td>
    </tr>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
</table>

You can find the doc for the alternative syntax on PHP.net

Removing u in list

That 'u' is part of the external representation of the string, meaning it's a Unicode string as opposed to a byte string. It's not in the string, it's part of the type.

As an example, you can create a new Unicode string literal by using the same synax. For instance:

>>> sandwich = u"smörgås"
>>> sandwich
u'sm\xf6rg\xe5s'

This creates a new Unicode string whose value is the Swedish word for sandwich. You can see that the non-English characters are represented by their Unicode code points, ö is \xf6 and å is \xe5. The 'u' prefix appears just like in your example to signify that this string holds Unicode text.

To get rid of those, you need to encode the Unicode string into some byte-oriented representation, such as UTF-8. You can do that with e.g.:

>>> sandwich.encode("utf-8")
'sm\xc3\xb6rg\xc3\xa5s'

Here, we get a new string without the prefix 'u', since this is a byte string. It contains the bytes representing the characters of the Unicode string, with the Swedish characters resulting in multiple bytes due to the wonders of the UTF-8 encoding.

.Net System.Mail.Message adding multiple "To" addresses

 
private string FormatMultipleEmailAddresses(string emailAddresses)
    {
      var delimiters = new[] { ',', ';' };

      var addresses = emailAddresses.Split(delimiters, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);

      return string.Join(",", addresses);
    }

Now you can use it like 

var mailMessage = new MailMessage();
mailMessage.To.Add(FormatMultipleEmailAddresses("[email protected];[email protected],[email protected]"));

Null check in an enhanced for loop

If you are getting that List from a method call that you implement, then don't return null, return an empty List.

If you can't change the implementation then you are stuck with the null check. If it should't be null, then throw an exception.

I would not go for the helper method that returns an empty list because it may be useful some times but then you would get used to call it in every loop you make possibly hiding some bugs.

Efficient way to apply multiple filters to pandas DataFrame or Series

filtered_df = df[(df['year'] == 2018) & (df['month'] == 2)]

Oracle "(+)" Operator

In Oracle, (+) denotes the "optional" table in the JOIN. So in your query,

SELECT a.id, b.id, a.col_2, b.col_2, ...
FROM a,b
WHERE a.id=b.id(+)

it's a LEFT OUTER JOIN of table 'b' to table 'a'. It will return all data of table 'a' without losing its data when the other side (optional table 'b') has no data.

Diagram of Left Outer Join

The modern standard syntax for the same query would be

SELECT  a.id, b.id, a.col_2, b.col_2, ...
FROM a
LEFT JOIN b ON a.id=b.id

or with a shorthand for a.id=b.id (not supported by all databases):

SELECT  a.id, b.id, a.col_2, b.col_2, ...
FROM a
LEFT JOIN b USING(id)

If you remove (+) then it will be normal inner join query

Older syntax, in both Oracle and other databases:

SELECT  a.id, b.id, a.col_2, b.col_2, ...
FROM a,b
WHERE a.id=b.id

More modern syntax:

SELECT  a.id, b.id, a.col_2, b.col_2, ...
FROM a
INNER JOIN b ON a.id=b.id

Or simply:

SELECT  a.id, b.id, a.col_2, b.col_2, ...
FROM a
JOIN b ON a.id=b.id

Diagram of Inner Join

It will only return all data where both 'a' & 'b' tables 'id' value is same, means common part.

If you want to make your query a Right Join

This is just the same as a LEFT JOIN, but switches which table is optional.

Diagram of Right Outer Join

Old Oracle syntax:

SELECT  a.id, b.id, a.col_2, b.col_2, ...
FROM a,b
WHERE a.id(+)=b.id

Modern standard syntax:

SELECT  a.id, b.id, a.col_2, b.col_2, ...
FROM a
RIGHT JOIN b ON a.id=b.id

How to grep for contents after pattern?

You can use grep, as the other answers state. But you don't need grep, awk, sed, perl, cut, or any external tool. You can do it with pure bash.

Try this (semicolons are there to allow you to put it all on one line):

$ while read line;
  do
    if [[ "${line%%:\ *}" == "potato" ]];
    then
      echo ${line##*:\ };
    fi;
  done< file.txt

## tells bash to delete the longest match of ": " in $line from the front.

$ while read line; do echo ${line##*:\ }; done< file.txt
1234
5678
5432
4567
5432
56789

or if you wanted the key rather than the value, %% tells bash to delete the longest match of ": " in $line from the end.

$ while read line; do echo ${line%%:\ *}; done< file.txt
potato
apple
potato
grape
banana
sushi

The substring to split on is ":\ " because the space character must be escaped with the backslash.

You can find more like these at the linux documentation project.

How to access your website through LAN in ASP.NET

I'm not sure how stuck you are:

You must have a web server (Windows comes with one called IIS, but it may not be installed)

  1. Make sure you actually have IIS installed! Try typing http://localhost/ in your browser and see what happens. If nothing happens it means that you may not have IIS installed. See Installing IIS
  2. Set up IIS How to set up your first IIS Web site
  3. You may even need to Install the .NET Framework (or your server will only serve static html pages, and not asp.net pages)

Installing your application

Once you have done that, you can more or less just copy your application to c:\wwwroot\inetpub\. Read Installing ASP.NET Applications (IIS 6.0) for more information

Accessing the web site from another machine

In theory, once you have a web server running, and the application installed, you only need the IP address of your web server to access the application.

To find your IP address try: Start -> Run -> type cmd (hit ENTER) -> type ipconfig (hit ENTER)

Once

  • you have the IP address AND
  • IIS running AND
  • the application is installed

you can access your website from another machine in your LAN by just typing in the IP Address of you web server and the correct path to your application.

If you put your application in a directory called NewApp, you will need to type something like http://your_ip_address/NewApp/default.aspx

Turn off your firewall

If you do have a firewall turn it off while you try connecting for the first time, you can sort that out later.

The data-toggle attributes in Twitter Bootstrap

The purpose of data-toggle in bootstrap is so you can use jQuery to find all tags of a certain type. For example, you put data-toggle="popover" in all popover tags and then you can use a JQuery selector to find all those tags and run the popover() function to initialize them. You could just as well put class="myPopover" on the tag and use the .myPopover selector to do the same thing. The documentation is confusing, because it makes it appear that something special is going on with that attribute.

This

<div class="container">
    <h3>Popover Example</h3>
    <a href="#" class="myPop" title="Popover1 Header" data-content="Some content inside the popover1">Toggle popover1</a>
    <a href="#" class="myPop" title="Popover2 Header" data-content="Some content inside the popover2">Toggle popover2</a>
</div>

<script>
    $(document).ready(function(){
        $('.myPop').popover();   
    });
</script>

works just fine.

May be it would be nice to see what Log4j is saying. it usually gives more information and from my experience the @RequestBody will fail if your request's content type is not Application/JSON. You can run Fiddler 2 to test it, or even Mozilla Live HTTP headers plugin can help.

Why aren't python nested functions called closures?

I had a situation where I needed a separate but persistent name space. I used classes. I don't otherwise. Segregated but persistent names are closures.

>>> class f2:
...     def __init__(self):
...         self.a = 0
...     def __call__(self, arg):
...         self.a += arg
...         return(self.a)
...
>>> f=f2()
>>> f(2)
2
>>> f(2)
4
>>> f(4)
8
>>> f(8)
16

# **OR**
>>> f=f2() # **re-initialize**
>>> f(f(f(f(2)))) # **nested**
16

# handy in list comprehensions to accumulate values
>>> [f(i) for f in [f2()] for i in [2,2,4,8]][-1] 
16

How to run the sftp command with a password from Bash script?

You can use lftp interactively in a shell script so the password not saved in .bash_history or similar by doing the following:

vi test_script.sh

Add the following to your file:

#!/bin/sh
HOST=<yourhostname>
USER=<someusername>
PASSWD=<yourpasswd>

cd <base directory for your put file>

lftp<<END_SCRIPT
open sftp://$HOST
user $USER $PASSWD
put local-file.name
bye
END_SCRIPT

And write/quit the vi editor after you edit the host, user, pass, and directory for your put file typing :wq .Then make your script executable chmod +x test_script.sh and execute it ./test_script.sh.

What are named pipes?

Pipes are a way of streaming data between applications. Under Linux I use this all the time to stream the output of one process into another. This is anonymous because the destination app has no idea where that input-stream comes from. It doesn't need to.

A named pipe is just a way of actively hooking onto an existing pipe and hoovering-up its data. It's for situations where the provider doesn't know what clients will be eating the data.

How do I use an INSERT statement's OUTPUT clause to get the identity value?

You can either have the newly inserted ID being output to the SSMS console like this:

INSERT INTO MyTable(Name, Address, PhoneNo)
OUTPUT INSERTED.ID
VALUES ('Yatrix', '1234 Address Stuff', '1112223333')

You can use this also from e.g. C#, when you need to get the ID back to your calling app - just execute the SQL query with .ExecuteScalar() (instead of .ExecuteNonQuery()) to read the resulting ID back.

Or if you need to capture the newly inserted ID inside T-SQL (e.g. for later further processing), you need to create a table variable:

DECLARE @OutputTbl TABLE (ID INT)

INSERT INTO MyTable(Name, Address, PhoneNo)
OUTPUT INSERTED.ID INTO @OutputTbl(ID)
VALUES ('Yatrix', '1234 Address Stuff', '1112223333')

This way, you can put multiple values into @OutputTbl and do further processing on those. You could also use a "regular" temporary table (#temp) or even a "real" persistent table as your "output target" here.

String.contains in Java

Thinking of a string as a set of characters, in mathematics the empty set is always a subset of any set.

The maximum recursion 100 has been exhausted before statement completion

Specify the maxrecursion option at the end of the query:

...
from EmployeeTree
option (maxrecursion 0)

That allows you to specify how often the CTE can recurse before generating an error. Maxrecursion 0 allows infinite recursion.

Java: splitting a comma-separated string but ignoring commas in quotes

I was impatient and chose not to wait for answers... for reference it doesn't look that hard to do something like this (which works for my application, I don't need to worry about escaped quotes, as the stuff in quotes is limited to a few constrained forms):

final static private Pattern splitSearchPattern = Pattern.compile("[\",]"); 
private List<String> splitByCommasNotInQuotes(String s) {
    if (s == null)
        return Collections.emptyList();

    List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
    Matcher m = splitSearchPattern.matcher(s);
    int pos = 0;
    boolean quoteMode = false;
    while (m.find())
    {
        String sep = m.group();
        if ("\"".equals(sep))
        {
            quoteMode = !quoteMode;
        }
        else if (!quoteMode && ",".equals(sep))
        {
            int toPos = m.start(); 
            list.add(s.substring(pos, toPos));
            pos = m.end();
        }
    }
    if (pos < s.length())
        list.add(s.substring(pos));
    return list;
}

(exercise for the reader: extend to handling escaped quotes by looking for backslashes also.)

How to convert date to string and to date again?

How to get a function name as a string?

I've seen a few answers that utilized decorators, though I felt a few were a bit verbose. Here's something I use for logging function names as well as their respective input and output values. I've adapted it here to just print the info rather than creating a log file and adapted it to apply to the OP specific example.

def debug(func=None):
    def wrapper(*args, **kwargs):
        try:
            function_name = func.__func__.__qualname__
        except:
            function_name = func.__qualname__
        return func(*args, **kwargs, function_name=function_name)
    return wrapper

@debug
def my_function(**kwargs):
    print(kwargs)

my_function()

Output:

{'function_name': 'my_function'}

How can I check if a view is visible or not in Android?

Although View.getVisibility() does get the visibility, its not a simple true/false. A view can have its visibility set to one of three things.

View.VISIBLE The view is visible.

View.INVISIBLE The view is invisible, but any spacing it would normally take up will still be used. Its "invisible"

View.GONE The view is gone, you can't see it and it doesn't take up the "spot".

So to answer your question, you're looking for:

if (myImageView.getVisibility() == View.VISIBLE) {
    // Its visible
} else {
    // Either gone or invisible
}

How to print / echo environment variables?

These need to go as different commands e.g.:

NAME=sam; echo "$NAME"
NAME=sam && echo "$NAME"

The expansion $NAME to empty string is done by the shell earlier, before running echo, so at the time the NAME variable is passed to the echo command's environment, the expansion is already done (to null string).

To get the same result in one command:

NAME=sam printenv NAME

finding and replacing elements in a list

My usecase was replacing None with some default value.

I've timed approaches to this problem that were presented here, including the one by @kxr - using str.count.

Test code in ipython with Python 3.8.1:

def rep1(lst, replacer = 0):
    ''' List comprehension, new list '''

    return [item if item is not None else replacer for item in lst]


def rep2(lst, replacer = 0):
    ''' List comprehension, in-place '''    
    lst[:] =  [item if item is not None else replacer for item in lst]

    return lst


def rep3(lst, replacer = 0):
    ''' enumerate() with comparison - in-place '''
    for idx, item in enumerate(lst):
        if item is None:
            lst[idx] = replacer

    return lst


def rep4(lst, replacer = 0):
    ''' Using str.index + Exception, in-place '''

    idx = -1
    # none_amount = lst.count(None)
    while True:
        try:
            idx = lst.index(None, idx+1)
        except ValueError:
            break
        else:
            lst[idx] = replacer

    return lst


def rep5(lst, replacer = 0):
    ''' Using str.index + str.count, in-place '''

    idx = -1
    for _ in range(lst.count(None)):
        idx = lst.index(None, idx+1)
        lst[idx] = replacer

    return lst


def rep6(lst, replacer = 0):
    ''' Using map, return map iterator '''

    return map(lambda item: item if item is not None else replacer, lst)


def rep7(lst, replacer = 0):
    ''' Using map, return new list '''

    return list(map(lambda item: item if item is not None else replacer, lst))


lst = [5]*10**6
# lst = [None]*10**6

%timeit rep1(lst)    
%timeit rep2(lst)    
%timeit rep3(lst)    
%timeit rep4(lst)    
%timeit rep5(lst)    
%timeit rep6(lst)    
%timeit rep7(lst)

I get:

26.3 ms ± 163 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10 loops each)
29.3 ms ± 206 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10 loops each)
33.8 ms ± 191 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10 loops each)
11.9 ms ± 37.8 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 100 loops each)
11.9 ms ± 60.2 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 100 loops each)
260 ns ± 1.84 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000000 loops each)
56.5 ms ± 204 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10 loops each)

Using the internal str.index is in fact faster than any manual comparison.

I didn't know if the exception in test 4 would be more laborious than using str.count, the difference seems negligible.

Note that map() (test 6) returns an iterator and not an actual list, thus test 7.

How to do join on multiple criteria, returning all combinations of both criteria

 
SELECT  aa.*,
        bb.meal
FROM    table1 aa
        INNER JOIN table2 bb
            ON aa.tableseat = bb.tableseat AND
                aa.weddingtable = bb.weddingtable

How to get the response of XMLHttpRequest?

You can get it by XMLHttpRequest.responseText in XMLHttpRequest.onreadystatechange when XMLHttpRequest.readyState equals to XMLHttpRequest.DONE.

Here's an example (not compatible with IE6/7).

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
    if (xhr.readyState == XMLHttpRequest.DONE) {
        alert(xhr.responseText);
    }
}
xhr.open('GET', 'http://example.com', true);
xhr.send(null);

For better crossbrowser compatibility, not only with IE6/7, but also to cover some browser-specific memory leaks or bugs, and also for less verbosity with firing ajaxical requests, you could use jQuery.

$.get('http://example.com', function(responseText) {
    alert(responseText);
});

Note that you've to take the Same origin policy for JavaScript into account when not running at localhost. You may want to consider to create a proxy script at your domain.

Turn off display errors using file "php.ini"

You can also use PHP's error_reporting();

// Disable it all for current call
error_reporting(0);

If you want to ignore errors from one function only, you can prepend a @ symbol.

@any_function(); // Errors are ignored

What is the difference between <%, <%=, <%# and -%> in ERB in Rails?

I've added the <%% literal tag delimiter as an answer to this because of its obscurity. This will tell erb not to interpret the <% part of the tag which is necessary for js apps like displaying chart.js tooltips etc.

Linq UNION query to select two elements

EDIT:

Ok I found why the int.ToString() in LINQtoEF fails, please read this post: Problem with converting int to string in Linq to entities

This works on my side :

        List<string> materialTypes = (from u in result.Users
                                      select u.LastName)
                       .Union(from u in result.Users
                               select SqlFunctions.StringConvert((double) u.UserId)).ToList();

On yours it should be like this:

    IList<String> materialTypes = ((from tom in context.MaterialTypes
                                       where tom.IsActive == true
                                       select tom.Name)
                                       .Union(from tom in context.MaterialTypes
                                       where tom.IsActive == true
                                       select SqlFunctions.StringConvert((double)tom.ID))).ToList();

Thanks, i've learnt something today :)

Can you install and run apps built on the .NET framework on a Mac?

You can use a .Net environment Visual studio, Take a look at the differences with the PC version.

A lighter editor would be Visual Code

Alternatives :

  1. Installing the Mono Project runtime . It allows you to re-compile the code and run it on a Mac, but this requires various alterations to the codebase, as the fuller .Net Framework is not available. (Also, WPF applications aren't supported here either.)

  2. Virtual machine (VMWare Fusion perhaps)

  3. Update your codebase to .Net Core, (before choosing this option take a look at this migration process)

    • .Net Core 3.1 is an open-source, free and available on Window, MacOs and Linux

    • As of September 14, a release candidate 1 of .Net Core 5.0 has been deployed on Window, MacOs and Linux.

[1] : Release candidate (RC) : releases providing early access to complete features. These releases are supported for production use when they have a go-live license

AngularJS routing without the hash '#'

If you are wanting to configure this locally on OS X 10.8 serving Angular with Apache then you might find the following in your .htaccess file helps:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    Options +FollowSymlinks
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /~yourusername/appname/public/
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*\.(css|js|html|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|txt)
    RewriteRule (.*) index.html [L]
</IfModule>

Options +FollowSymlinks if not set may give you a forbidden error in the logs like so:

Options FollowSymLinks or SymLinksIfOwnerMatch is off which implies that RewriteRule directive is forbidden

Rewrite base is required otherwise requests will be resolved to your server root which locally by default is not your project directory unless you have specifically configured your vhosts, so you need to set the path so that the request finds your project root directory. For example on my machine I have a /Users/me/Sites directory where I keep all my projects. Like the old OS X set up.

The next two lines effectively say if the path is not a directory or a file, so you need to make sure you have no files or directories the same as your app route paths.

The next condition says if request not ending with file extensions specified so add what you need there

And the [L] last one is saying to serve the index.html file - your app for all other requests.

If you still have problems then check the apache log, it will probably give you useful hints:

/private/var/log/apache2/error_log

String contains - ignore case

Try this

public static void main(String[] args)
{

    String original = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQ";
    String tobeChecked = "GHi";

    System.out.println(containsString(original, tobeChecked, true));        
    System.out.println(containsString(original, tobeChecked, false));

}

public static boolean containsString(String original, String tobeChecked, boolean caseSensitive)
{
    if (caseSensitive)
    {
        return original.contains(tobeChecked);

    }
    else
    {
        return original.toLowerCase().contains(tobeChecked.toLowerCase());
    }

}

asynchronous vs non-blocking

Non-blocking: This function won't wait while on the stack.

Asynchronous: Work may continue on behalf of the function call after that call has left the stack

How to replace list item in best way

Why not use the extension methods?

Consider the following code:

        var intArray = new int[] { 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4 };
        // Replaces the first occurance and returns the index
        var index = intArray.Replace(1, 0);
        // {0, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4}; index=1

        var stringList = new List<string> { "a", "a", "c", "d"};
        stringList.ReplaceAll("a", "b");
        // {"b", "b", "c", "d"};

        var intEnum = intArray.Select(x => x);
        intEnum = intEnum.Replace(0, 1);
        // {0, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4} => {1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4}
  • No code duplication
  • There is no need to type long linq expressions
  • There is no need for additional usings

The source code:

namespace System.Collections.Generic
{
    public static class Extensions
    {
        public static int Replace<T>(this IList<T> source, T oldValue, T newValue)
        {
            if (source == null)
                throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(source));

            var index = source.IndexOf(oldValue);
            if (index != -1)
                source[index] = newValue;
            return index;
        }

        public static void ReplaceAll<T>(this IList<T> source, T oldValue, T newValue)
        {
            if (source == null)
                throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(source));

            int index = -1;
            do
            {
                index = source.IndexOf(oldValue);
                if (index != -1)
                    source[index] = newValue;
            } while (index != -1);
        }


        public static IEnumerable<T> Replace<T>(this IEnumerable<T> source, T oldValue, T newValue)
        {
            if (source == null)
                throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(source));

            return source.Select(x => EqualityComparer<T>.Default.Equals(x, oldValue) ? newValue : x);
        }
    }
}

The first two methods have been added to change the objects of reference types in place. Of course, you can use just the third method for all types.

P.S. Thanks to mike's observation, I've added the ReplaceAll method.

How to use a variable for a key in a JavaScript object literal?

Update: As a commenter pointed out, any version of JavaScript that supports arrow functions will also support ({[myKey]:myValue}), so this answer has no actual use-case (and, in fact, it might break in some bizarre corner-cases).

Don't use the below-listed method.

I can't believe this hasn't been posted yet: just use arrow functions with anonymous evaluation!

Completely non-invasive, doesn't mess with the namespace, and it takes just one line:

myNewObj = ((k,v)=>{o={};o[k]=v;return o;})(myKey,myValue);

demo:

_x000D_
_x000D_ 
var myKey="valueof_myKey";
var myValue="valueof_myValue";
var myNewObj = ((k,v)=>{o={};o[k]=v;return o;})(myKey,myValue);
console.log(myNewObj);
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

useful in environments that don't support the new {[myKey]: myValue} syntax yet, such as—apparently; I just verified it on my Web Developer Console—Firefox 72.0.1, released 2020-01-08. I stand corrected; just wrap the thing in parenthesis and it works.

(I'm sure you could potentially make some more powerful/extensible solutions or whatever involving clever use of reduce, but at that point you'd probably be better served by just breaking out the Object-creation into its own function instead of compulsively jamming it all inline)

not that it matters since OP asked this ten years ago, but for completeness' sake and to demonstrate how it is exactly the answer to the question as stated, I'll show this in the original context:

var thetop = 'top';
<something>.stop().animate(
    ((k,v)=>{o={};o[k]=v;return o;})(thetop,10), 10
);

Tricks to manage the available memory in an R session

This adds nothing to the above, but is written in the simple and heavily commented style that I like. It yields a table with the objects ordered in size , but without some of the detail given in the examples above:

#Find the objects       
MemoryObjects = ls()    
#Create an array
MemoryAssessmentTable=array(NA,dim=c(length(MemoryObjects),2))
#Name the columns
colnames(MemoryAssessmentTable)=c("object","bytes")
#Define the first column as the objects
MemoryAssessmentTable[,1]=MemoryObjects
#Define a function to determine size

How to print pthread_t

Just a supplement to the first post: use a user defined union type to store the pthread_t:

union tid {
    pthread_t pthread_id;
    unsigned long converted_id;
};

Whenever you want to print pthread_t, create a tid and assign tid.pthread_id = ..., then print tid.converted_id.

How can I restore the MySQL root user’s full privileges?

If you've deleted your root user by mistake you can do one thing:

  1. Stop MySQL service
  2. Run mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &
  3. Type mysql -u root -p and press enter.
  4. Enter your password
  5. At the mysql command line enter: use mysql;

Then execute this query:

insert into `user` (`Host`, `User`, `Password`, `Select_priv`, `Insert_priv`, `Update_priv`, `Delete_priv`, `Create_priv`, `Drop_priv`, `Reload_priv`, `Shutdown_priv`, `Process_priv`, `File_priv`, `Grant_priv`, `References_priv`, `Index_priv`, `Alter_priv`, `Show_db_priv`, `Super_priv`, `Create_tmp_table_priv`, `Lock_tables_priv`, `Execute_priv`, `Repl_slave_priv`, `Repl_client_priv`, `Create_view_priv`, `Show_view_priv`, `Create_routine_priv`, `Alter_routine_priv`, `Create_user_priv`, `ssl_type`, `ssl_cipher`, `x509_issuer`, `x509_subject`, `max_questions`, `max_updates`, `max_connections`, `max_user_connections`) 
values('localhost','root','','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','','','','','0','0','0','0');

then restart the mysqld

EDIT: October 6, 2018

In case anyone else needs this answer, I tried it today using innodb_version 5.6.36-82.0 and 10.1.24-MariaDB and it works if you REMOVE THE BACKTICKS (no single quotes either, just remove them):

insert into user (Host, User, Password, Select_priv, Insert_priv, Update_priv, Delete_priv, Create_priv, Drop_priv, Reload_priv, Shutdown_priv, Process_priv, File_priv, Grant_priv, References_priv, Index_priv, Alter_priv, Show_db_priv, Super_priv, Create_tmp_table_priv, Lock_tables_priv, Execute_priv, Repl_slave_priv, Repl_client_priv, Create_view_priv, Show_view_priv, Create_routine_priv, Alter_routine_priv, Create_user_priv, ssl_type, ssl_cipher, x509_issuer, x509_subject, max_questions, max_updates, max_connections, max_user_connections) 
values('localhost','root','','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','','','','','0','0','0','0');

Create an ArrayList of unique values

 
HashSet hs = new HashSet();
                hs.addAll(arrayList);
                arrayList.clear();
                arrayList.addAll(hs);

<> And Not In VB.NET

I think your question boils down to "the difference between (Is and =) and also (IsNot and <>)".

The answer in both cases is the same :

= and <> are implicitly defined for value types and you can explicitly define them for your types.

Is and IsNot are designed for comparisons between reference types to check if the two references refer to the same object.

In your example, you are comparing a string object to Nothing (Null) and since the =/<> operators are defined for strings, the first example works. However, it does not work when a Null is encountered because Strings are reference types and can be Null. The better way (as you guessed) is the latter version using Is/IsNot.

How do I reference tables in Excel using VBA?

In addition to the above, you can do this (where "YourListObjectName" is the name of your table):

Dim LO As ListObject
Set LO = ActiveSheet.ListObjects("YourListObjectName")

But I think that only works if you want to reference a list object that's on the active sheet.

I found your question because I wanted to refer to a list object (a table) on one worksheet that a pivot table on a different worksheet refers to. Since list objects are part of the Worksheets collection, you have to know the name of the worksheet that list object is on in order to refer to it. So to get the name of the worksheet that the list object is on, I got the name of the pivot table's source list object (again, a table) and looped through the worksheets and their list objects until I found the worksheet that contained the list object I was looking for. 

Public Sub GetListObjectWorksheet()
' Get the name of the worksheet that contains the data
' that is the pivot table's source data.

    Dim WB As Workbook
    Set WB = ActiveWorkbook

    ' Create a PivotTable object and set it to be
    ' the pivot table in the active cell:
    Dim PT As PivotTable
    Set PT = ActiveCell.PivotTable

    Dim LO As ListObject
    Dim LOWS As Worksheet

    ' Loop through the worksheets and each worksheet's list objects
    ' to find the name of the worksheet that contains the list object
    ' that the pivot table uses as its source data:
    Dim WS As Worksheet
    For Each WS In WB.Worksheets
        ' Loop through the ListObjects in each workshet:
        For Each LO In WS.ListObjects
            ' If the ListObject's name is the name of the pivot table's soure data,
            ' set the LOWS to be the worksheet that contains the list object:
            If LO.Name = PT.SourceData Then
                Set LOWS = WB.Worksheets(LO.Parent.Name)
            End If
        Next LO
    Next WS

    Debug.Print LOWS.Name

End Sub

Maybe someone knows a more direct way.

How to iterate through range of Dates in Java?

Here is Java 8 code. I think this code will solve your problem.Happy Coding

    LocalDate start = LocalDate.now();
    LocalDate end = LocalDate.of(2016, 9, 1);//JAVA 9 release date
    Long duration = start.until(end, ChronoUnit.DAYS);
    System.out.println(duration);
     // Do Any stuff Here there after
    IntStream.iterate(0, i -> i + 1)
             .limit(duration)
             .forEach((i) -> {});
     //old way of iteration
    for (int i = 0; i < duration; i++)
     System.out.print("" + i);// Do Any stuff Here

Applying Comic Sans Ms font style

You need to use quote marks.

font-family: "Comic Sans MS", cursive, sans-serif;

Although you really really shouldn't use comic sans. The font has massive stigma attached to it's use; it's not seen as professional at all.

Getting Spring Application Context

Please note that; the below code will create new application context instead of using the already loaded one.

private static final ApplicationContext context = 
               new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("beans.xml");

Also note that beans.xml should be part of src/main/resources means in war it is part of WEB_INF/classes, where as the real application will be loaded through applicationContext.xml mentioned at Web.xml.

<context-param>
    <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value>META-INF/spring/applicationContext.xml</param-value>
</context-param>

It is difficult to mention applicationContext.xml path in ClassPathXmlApplicationContext constructor. ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("META-INF/spring/applicationContext.xml") wont be able to locate the file.

So it is better to use existing applicationContext by using annotations.

@Component
public class OperatorRequestHandlerFactory {

    public static ApplicationContext context;

    @Autowired
    public void setApplicationContext(ApplicationContext applicationContext) {
        context = applicationContext;
    }
}

Vertically align text within a div

Update April 10, 2016

Flexboxes should now be used to vertically (or even horizontally) align items.

_x000D_
_x000D_ 
body {
    height: 150px;
    border: 5px solid cyan; 
    font-size: 50px;
    
    display: flex;
    align-items: center; /* Vertical center alignment */
    justify-content: center; /* Horizontal center alignment */
}
_x000D_ 
Middle
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

A good guide to flexbox can be read on CSS Tricks. Thanks Ben (from comments) for pointing it out. I didn't have time to update.

A good guy named Mahendra posted a very working solution here.

The following class should make the element horizontally and vertically centered to its parent.

.absolute-center {

    /* Internet Explorer 10 */
    display: -ms-flexbox;
    -ms-flex-pack: center;
    -ms-flex-align: center;

    /* Firefox */
    display: -moz-box;
    -moz-box-pack: center;
    -moz-box-align: center;

    /* Safari, Opera, and Chrome */
    display: -webkit-box;
    -webkit-box-pack: center;
    -webkit-box-align: center;

    /* W3C */
    display: box;
    box-pack: center;
    box-align: center;

Mysql: Setup the format of DATETIME to 'DD-MM-YYYY HH:MM:SS' when creating a table

UnicodeDecodeError, invalid continuation byte

Well this type of error comes when u are taking input a particular file or data in pandas such as :-

data=pd.read_csv('/kaggle/input/fertilizers-by-product-fao/FertilizersProduct.csv)

Then the error is displaying like this :- UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xf4 in position 1: invalid continuation byte

So to avoid this type of error can be removed by adding an argument

data=pd.read_csv('/kaggle/input/fertilizers-by-product-fao/FertilizersProduct.csv', encoding='ISO-8859-1')

Sending and receiving UDP packets?

The receiver must set port of receiver to match port set in sender DatagramPacket. For debugging try listening on port > 1024 (e.g. 8000 or 9000). Ports < 1024 are typically used by system services and need admin access to bind on such a port.

If the receiver sends packet to the hard-coded port it's listening to (e.g. port 57) and the sender is on the same machine then you would create a loopback to the receiver itself. Always use the port specified from the packet and in case of production software would need a check in any case to prevent such a case.

Another reason a packet won't get to destination is the wrong IP address specified in the sender. UDP unlike TCP will attempt to send out a packet even if the address is unreachable and the sender will not receive an error indication. You can check this by printing the address in the receiver as a precaution for debugging.

In the sender you set:

 byte [] IP= { (byte)192, (byte)168, 1, 106 };
 InetAddress address = InetAddress.getByAddress(IP);

but might be simpler to use the address in string form:

 InetAddress address = InetAddress.getByName("192.168.1.106");

In other words, you set target as 192.168.1.106. If this is not the receiver then you won't get the packet.

Here's a simple UDP Receiver that works :

import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.*;

public class Receiver {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int port = args.length == 0 ? 57 : Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
        new Receiver().run(port);
    }

    public void run(int port) {    
      try {
        DatagramSocket serverSocket = new DatagramSocket(port);
        byte[] receiveData = new byte[8];
        String sendString = "polo";
        byte[] sendData = sendString.getBytes("UTF-8");

        System.out.printf("Listening on udp:%s:%d%n",
                InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress(), port);     
        DatagramPacket receivePacket = new DatagramPacket(receiveData,
                           receiveData.length);

        while(true)
        {
              serverSocket.receive(receivePacket);
              String sentence = new String( receivePacket.getData(), 0,
                                 receivePacket.getLength() );
              System.out.println("RECEIVED: " + sentence);
              // now send acknowledgement packet back to sender     
              DatagramPacket sendPacket = new DatagramPacket(sendData, sendData.length,
                   receivePacket.getAddress(), receivePacket.getPort());
              serverSocket.send(sendPacket);
        }
      } catch (IOException e) {
              System.out.println(e);
      }
      // should close serverSocket in finally block
    }
}

Javascript: Unicode string to hex

how do you get "\u6f22\u5b57" from ?? in JavaScript?

These are JavaScript Unicode escape sequences e.g. \u12AB. To convert them, you could iterate over every code unit in the string, call .toString(16) on it, and go from there.

However, it is more efficient to also use hexadecimal escape sequences e.g. \xAA in the output wherever possible.

Also note that ASCII symbols such as A, b, and - probably don’t need to be escaped.

I’ve written a small JavaScript library that does all this for you, called jsesc. It has lots of options to control the output.

Here’s an online demo of the tool in action: http://mothereff.in/js-escapes#1%E6%BC%A2%E5%AD%97

Your question was tagged as utf-8. Reading the rest of your question, UTF-8 encoding/decoding didn’t seem to be what you wanted here, but in case you ever need it: use utf8.js (online demo).

how to convert integer to string?

If you really want to use String: 

NSString *number = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"%d", 123];

But I would recommend using NSNumber:

NSNumber *number = [[NSNumber alloc] initWithInt:123];

Then just add it to the array.

[array addObject:number];

Don't forget to release it after that, since you created it above.

[number release];

How to grep with a list of words

You need to use the option -f:

$ grep -f A B

The option -F does a fixed string search where as -f is for specifying a file of patterns. You may want both if the file only contains fixed strings and not regexps.

$ grep -Ff A B

You may also want the -w option for matching whole words only:

$ grep -wFf A B

Read man grep for a description of all the possible arguments and what they do.

How to use the divide function in the query?

Try something like this

select Cast((SPGI09_EARLY_OVER_T – (SPGI09_OVER_WK_EARLY_ADJUST_T) / (SPGI09_EARLY_OVER_T + SPGR99_LATE_CM_T  + SPGR99_ON_TIME_Q)) as varchar(20) + '%' as percentageAmount
from CSPGI09_OVERSHIPMENT

I presume the value is a representation in percentage - if not convert it to a valid percentage total, then add the % sign and convert the column to varchar.

How do I access Configuration in any class in ASP.NET Core?

I'm doing it like this at the moment:

// Requires NuGet package Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Json

using Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration;
using System.IO;

namespace ImagesToMssql.AppsettingsJson
{
    public static class AppSettingsJson
    {           
        public static IConfigurationRoot GetAppSettings()
        {
            string applicationExeDirectory = ApplicationExeDirectory();

            var builder = new ConfigurationBuilder()
            .SetBasePath(applicationExeDirectory)
            .AddJsonFile("appsettings.json");

            return builder.Build();
        }

        private static string ApplicationExeDirectory()
        {
            var location = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location;
            var appRoot = Path.GetDirectoryName(location);

            return appRoot;
        }
    }
}

And then I use this where I need to get the data from the appsettings.json file:

var appSettingsJson = AppSettingsJson.GetAppSettings();
// appSettingsJson["keyName"]

Laravel Eloquent where field is X or null

Using coalesce() converts null to 0:

    ->where(DB::raw('COALESCE(datefield_at,0)'), '<', $date)
;

Get exception description and stack trace which caused an exception, all as a string

With Python 3, the following code will format an Exception object exactly as would be obtained using traceback.format_exc():

import traceback

try: 
    method_that_can_raise_an_exception(params)
except Exception as ex:
    print(''.join(traceback.format_exception(etype=type(ex), value=ex, tb=ex.__traceback__)))

The advantage being that only the Exception object is needed (thanks to the recorded __traceback__ attribute), and can therefore be more easily passed as an argument to another function for further processing.

Should I use 'border: none' or 'border: 0'?

As others have said both are valid and will do the trick. I'm not 100% convinced that they are identical though. If you have some style cascading going on then they could in theory produce different results since they are effectively overriding different values.

For example. If you set "border: none;" and then later on have two different styles that override the border width and style then one will do something and the other will not.

In the following example on both IE and firefox the first two test divs come out with no border. The second two however are different with the first div in the second block being plain and the second div in the second block having a medium width dashed border.

So though they are both valid you may need to keep an eye on your styles if they do much cascading and such like I think.

<html>
<head>
<style>
div {border: 1px solid black; margin: 1em;}
.zerotest div {border: 0;}
.nonetest div {border: none;}

div.setwidth {border-width: 3px;}
div.setstyle {border-style: dashed;}

</style>
</head>
<body>

<div class="zerotest">
<div class="setwidth">
"Border: 0" and "border-width: 3px"
</div>
<div class="setstyle">
"Border: 0" and "border-style: dashed"
</div>
</div>

<div class="nonetest">
<div class="setwidth">
"Border: none" and "border-width: 3px"
</div>
<div class="setstyle">
"Border: none" and "border-style: dashed"
</div>
</div>

</body>
</html>

PHP session lost after redirect

To me this was permission error and this resolved it:

chown -R nginx:nginx /var/opt/remi/php73/lib/php/session

I have tested a few hours on PHP and the last test I did was that I created two files session1.php and session2.php.

session1.php:

session_start();

$_SESSION["user"] = 123;

header("Location: session2.php");

session2.php:

session_start();

print_r($_SESSION);

and it was printing an empty array.

At this point, I thought it could be a server issue and in fact, it was.

Hope this helps someone.

How to plot a histogram using Matplotlib in Python with a list of data?

This is a very round-about way of doing it but if you want to make a histogram where you already know the bin values but dont have the source data, you can use the np.random.randint function to generate the correct number of values within the range of each bin for the hist function to graph, for example:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

data = [np.random.randint(0, 9, *desired y value*), np.random.randint(10, 19, *desired y value*), etc..]
plt.hist(data, histtype='stepfilled', bins=[0, 10, etc..])

as for labels you can align x ticks with bins to get something like this:

#The following will align labels to the center of each bar with bin intervals of 10
plt.xticks([5, 15, etc.. ], ['Label 1', 'Label 2', etc.. ])

MySQL Update Inner Join tables query

Try this:

UPDATE business AS b
INNER JOIN business_geocode AS g ON b.business_id = g.business_id
SET b.mapx = g.latitude,
  b.mapy = g.longitude
WHERE  (b.mapx = '' or b.mapx = 0) and
  g.latitude > 0

Update:

Since you said the query yielded a syntax error, I created some tables that I could test it against and confirmed that there is no syntax error in my query:

mysql> create table business (business_id int unsigned primary key auto_increment, mapx varchar(255), mapy varchar(255)) engine=innodb;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

mysql> create table business_geocode (business_geocode_id int unsigned primary key auto_increment, business_id int unsigned not null, latitude varchar(255) not null, longitude varchar(255) not null, foreign key (business_id) references business(business_id)) engine=innodb;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

mysql> UPDATE business AS b
    -> INNER JOIN business_geocode AS g ON b.business_id = g.business_id
    -> SET b.mapx = g.latitude,
    ->   b.mapy = g.longitude
    -> WHERE  (b.mapx = '' or b.mapx = 0) and
    ->   g.latitude > 0;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
Rows matched: 0  Changed: 0  Warnings: 0

See? No syntax error. I tested against MySQL 5.5.8.

Getting JavaScript object key list

this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("...") and NullPointerException

One other thing to look at that solved it for me :

In an Eclipse / Maven project, I had Java classes in src/test/java in which I was using the this.getClass().getResource("someFile.ext"); pattern to look for resources in src/test/resources where the resource file was in the same package location in the resources source folder as the test class was in the the test source folder. It still failed to locate them.

Right click on the src/test/resources source folder, Build Path, then "configure inclusion / exclusion filters"; I added a new inclusion filter of **/*.ext to make sure my files weren't getting scrubbed; my tests now can find their resource files.

How to select Python version in PyCharm?

PyCharm 2019.1+

There is a new feature called Interpreter in status bar (scroll down a little bit). This makes switching between python interpreters and seeing which version you’re using easier.

enter image description here

Enable status bar

In case you cannot see the status bar, you can easily activate it by running the Find Action command (Ctrl+Shift+A or ?+ ?+A on mac). Then type status bar and choose View: Status Bar to see it.

If you call your created method in the lifecycle methods like componentDidMount... then you can only use the this.onToggleLoop = this.onToogleLoop.bind(this) and the fat arrow function onToggleLoop = (event) => {...}.

The normal approach of the declaration of a function in the constructor wont work because the lifecycle methods are called earlier.

                 a.append(key)
    a=list(set(a))
    return a

if the research involves more keys maybe you should create a list with all the keys

SQL Server - copy stored procedures from one db to another

Another option is to transfer stored procedures using SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS). There is a task called Transfer SQL Server Objects Task. You can use the task to transfer the following items:

  • Tables
  • Views
  • Stored Procedures
  • User-Defined Functions
  • Defaults
  • User-Defined Data Types
  • Partition Functions
  • Partition Schemes
  • Schemas
  • Assemblies
  • User-Defined Aggregates
  • User-Defined Types
  • XML Schema Collection

It's a graphical tutorial for Transfer SQL Server Objects Task.

C# : Out of Memory exception

As .Net progresses, so does their ability to add new 32-bit configurations that trips everyone up it seems.

If you are on .Net Framework 4.7.2 do the following:

Go to Project Properties

Build

Uncheck 'prefer 32-bit'

Cheers!

What is the easiest way to ignore a JPA field during persistence?

To ignore a field, annotate it with @Transient so it will not be mapped by hibernate.

but then jackson will not serialize the field when converting to JSON.

If you need mix JPA with JSON(omit by JPA but still include in Jackson) use @JsonInclude :

@JsonInclude()
@Transient
private String token;

TIP:

You can also use JsonInclude.Include.NON_NULL and hide fields in JSON during deserialization when token == null:

@JsonInclude(JsonInclude.Include.NON_NULL)
@Transient
private String token;

Determine the data types of a data frame's columns

Your best bet to start is to use ?str(). To explore some examples, let's make some data: 

set.seed(3221)  # this makes the example exactly reproducible
my.data <- data.frame(y=rnorm(5), 
                      x1=c(1:5), 
                      x2=c(TRUE, TRUE, FALSE, FALSE, FALSE),
                      X3=letters[1:5])

@Wilmer E Henao H's solution is very streamlined: 

sapply(my.data, class)
        y        x1        x2        X3 
"numeric" "integer" "logical"  "factor"

Using str() gets you that information plus extra goodies (such as the levels of your factors and the first few values of each variable): 

str(my.data)
'data.frame':  5 obs. of  4 variables:
$ y : num  1.03 1.599 -0.818 0.872 -2.682
$ x1: int  1 2 3 4 5
$ x2: logi  TRUE TRUE FALSE FALSE FALSE
$ X3: Factor w/ 5 levels "a","b","c","d",..: 1 2 3 4 5

@Gavin Simpson's approach is also streamlined, but provides slightly different information than class(): 

sapply(my.data, typeof)
       y        x1        x2        X3 
"double" "integer" "logical" "integer"

For more information about class, typeof, and the middle child, mode, see this excellent SO thread: A comprehensive survey of the types of things in R. 'mode' and 'class' and 'typeof' are insufficient.

How to revert to origin's master branch's version of file

If you didn't commit it to the master branch yet, its easy:

  • get off the master branch (like git checkout -b oops/fluke/dang)
  • commit your changes there (like git add -u; git commit;)
  • go back the master branch (like git checkout master)

Your changes will be saved in branch oops/fluke/dang; master will be as it was.

Shall we always use [unowned self] inside closure in Swift

Update 11/2016

I wrote an article on this extending this answer (looking into SIL to understand what ARC does), check it out here.

Original answer

The previous answers don't really give straightforward rules on when to use one over the other and why, so let me add a few things.

The unowned or weak discussion boils down to a question of lifetime of the variable and the closure that references it.

swift weak vs unowned

Scenarios

You can have two possible scenarios:

  1. The closure have the same lifetime of the variable, so the closure will be reachable only until the variable is reachable. The variable and the closure have the same lifetime. In this case you should declare the reference as unowned. A common example is the [unowned self] used in many example of small closures that do something in the context of their parent and that not being referenced anywhere else do not outlive their parents.

  2. The closure lifetime is independent from the one of the variable, the closure could still be referenced when the variable is not reachable anymore. In this case you should declare the reference as weak and verify it's not nil before using it (don't force unwrap). A common example of this is the [weak delegate] you can see in some examples of closure referencing a completely unrelated (lifetime-wise) delegate object.

Actual Usage

So, which will/should you actually use most of the times?

Quoting Joe Groff from twitter:

Unowned is faster and allows for immutability and nonoptionality.

If you don't need weak, don't use it.

You'll find more about unowned* inner workings here.

* Usually also referred to as unowned(safe) to indicate that runtime checks (that lead to a crash for invalid references) are performed before accessing the unowned reference.

mysql: SOURCE error 2?

On my windows 8.1, and mysql 5.7.9 MySQL Community Server (GPL), I had to remove the ; after the file path.

This failed: source E:/jokoni/db/Banking/createTables.sql;

This Worked: source E:/jokoni/db/Banking/createTables.sql (without termination, and forward slashes instead of windows' backslashes in path)

Replace all non Alpha Numeric characters, New Lines, and multiple White Space with one Space

To replace with dashes, do the following:

text.replace(/[\W_-]/g,' ');

Replace all whitespace characters

You want \s

Matches a single white space character, including space, tab, form feed, line feed.

Equivalent to

[ \f\n\r\t\v\u00a0\u1680\u2000-\u200a\u2028\u2029\u202f\u205f\u3000\ufeff]

in Firefox and [ \f\n\r\t\v] in IE.

str = str.replace(/\s/g, "X");

plotting different colors in matplotlib

Joe Kington's excellent answer is already 4 years old, Matplotlib has incrementally changed (in particular, the introduction of the cycler module) and the new major release, Matplotlib 2.0.x, has introduced stylistic differences that are important from the point of view of the colors used by default.

The color of individual lines

The color of individual lines (as well as the color of different plot elements, e.g., markers in scatter plots) is controlled by the color keyword argument,

plt.plot(x, y, color=my_color)

my_color is either

The color cycle

By default, different lines are plotted using different colors, that are defined by default and are used in a cyclic manner (hence the name color cycle).

The color cycle is a property of the axes object, and in older releases was simply a sequence of valid color names (by default a string of one character color names, "bgrcmyk") and you could set it as in

my_ax.set_color_cycle(['kbkykrkg'])

(as noted in a comment this API has been deprecated, more on this later).

In Matplotlib 2.0 the default color cycle is ["#1f77b4", "#ff7f0e", "#2ca02c", "#d62728", "#9467bd", "#8c564b", "#e377c2", "#7f7f7f", "#bcbd22", "#17becf"], the Vega category10 palette.

The cycler module: composable cycles

The following code shows that the color cycle notion has been deprecated

In [1]: from matplotlib import rc_params

In [2]: rc_params()['axes.color_cycle']
/home/boffi/lib/miniconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/matplotlib/__init__.py:938: UserWarning: axes.color_cycle is deprecated and replaced with axes.prop_cycle; please use the latter.
  warnings.warn(self.msg_depr % (key, alt_key))
Out[2]: 
['#1f77b4', '#ff7f0e', '#2ca02c', '#d62728', '#9467bd',
 '#8c564b', '#e377c2', '#7f7f7f', '#bcbd22', '#17becf']

Now the relevant property is the 'axes.prop_cycle'

In [3]: rc_params()['axes.prop_cycle']
Out[3]: cycler('color', ['#1f77b4', '#ff7f0e', '#2ca02c', '#d62728', '#9467bd', '#8c564b', '#e377c2', '#7f7f7f', '#bcbd22', '#17becf'])

Previously, the color_cycle was a generic sequence of valid color denominations, now by default it is a cycler object containing a label ('color') and a sequence of valid color denominations. The step forward with respect to the previous interface is that it is possible to cycle not only on the color of lines but also on other line attributes, e.g.,

In [5]: from cycler import cycler

In [6]: new_prop_cycle = cycler('color', ['k', 'r']) * cycler('linewidth', [1., 1.5, 2.])

In [7]: for kwargs in new_prop_cycle: print(kwargs)
{'color': 'k', 'linewidth': 1.0}
{'color': 'k', 'linewidth': 1.5}
{'color': 'k', 'linewidth': 2.0}
{'color': 'r', 'linewidth': 1.0}
{'color': 'r', 'linewidth': 1.5}
{'color': 'r', 'linewidth': 2.0}

As you have seen, the cycler objects are composable and when you iterate on a composed cycler what you get, at each iteration, is a dictionary of keyword arguments for plt.plot.

You can use the new defaults on a per axes object ratio,

my_ax.set_prop_cycle(new_prop_cycle)

or you can install temporarily the new default

plt.rc('axes', prop_cycle=new_prop_cycle)

or change altogether the default editing your .matplotlibrc file.

Last possibility, use a context manager

with plt.rc_context({'axes.prop_cycle': new_prop_cycle}):
    ...

to have the new cycler used in a group of different plots, reverting to defaults at the end of the context.

The doc string of the cycler() function is useful, but the (not so much) gory details about the cycler module and the cycler() function, as well as examples, can be found in the fine docs.
