Python write line by line to a text file

Well, the problem you have is wrong line ending/encoding for notepad. Notepad uses Windows' line endings - \r\n and you use \n.

How do I remove newlines from a text file?

To also remove the trailing newline at the end of the file

python -c "s=open('filename','r').read();open('filename', 'w').write(s.replace('\n',''))"

Can we create an instance of an interface in Java?

Short answer...yes. You can use an anonymous class when you initialize a variable. Take a look at this question: Anonymous vs named inner classes? - best practices?

Seedable JavaScript random number generator

The code you listed kind of looks like a Lehmer RNG. If this is the case, then 2147483647 is the largest 32-bit signed integer, 2147483647 is the largest 32-bit prime, and 48271 is a full-period multiplier that is used to generate the numbers.

If this is true, you could modify RandomNumberGenerator to take in an extra parameter seed, and then set this.seed to seed; but you'd have to be careful to make sure the seed would result in a good distribution of random numbers (Lehmer can be weird like that) -- but most seeds will be fine.

PHP if not statements

Your logic is slightly off. The second || should be &&:

if ((!isset($action)) || ($action != "add" && $action != "delete"))

You can see why your original line fails by trying out a sample value. Let's say $action is "delete". Here's how the condition reduces down step by step:

// $action == "delete"
if ((!isset($action)) || ($action != "add" || $action != "delete"))
if ((!true) || ($action != "add" || $action != "delete"))
if (false || ($action != "add" || $action != "delete"))
if ($action != "add" || $action != "delete")
if (true || $action != "delete")
if (true || false)
if (true)

Oops! The condition just succeeded and printed "error", but it was supposed to fail. In fact, if you think about it, no matter what the value of $action is, one of the two != tests will return true. Switch the || to && and then the second to last line becomes if (true && false), which properly reduces to if (false).

There is a way to use || and have the test work, by the way. You have to negate everything else using De Morgan's law, i.e.:

if ((!isset($action)) || !($action == "add" || $action == "delete"))

You can read that in English as "if action is not (either add or remove), then".

How do I create a crontab through a script

As a correction to those suggesting crontab -l | crontab -: This does not work on every system. For example, I had to add a job to the root crontab on dozens of servers running an old version SUSE (don't ask why). Old SUSEs prepend comment lines to the output of crontab -l, making crontab -l | crontab - non-idempotent (Debian recognizes this problem in the crontab manpage and patched its version of Vixie Cron to change the default behaviour of crontab -l).

To edit crontabs programmatically on systems where crontab -l adds comments, you can try the following:

EDITOR=cat crontab -e > old_crontab; cat old_crontab new_job | crontab -

EDITOR=cat tells crontab to use cat as an editor (not the usual default vi), which doesn't change the file, but instead copies it to stdout. This might still fail if crontab - expects input in a format different from what crontab -e outputs. Do not try to replace the final crontab - with crontab -e - it will not work.

javascript date to string

I like Daniel Cerecedo's answer using toJSON() and regex. An even simpler form would be:

var now = new Date();
var regex = /^(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})T(\d{2}):(\d{2}):(\d{2}).*$/;
var token_array = regex.exec(now.toJSON());
// [ "2017-10-31T02:24:45.868Z", "2017", "10", "31", "02", "24", "45" ]
var myFormat = token_array.slice(1).join('');
// "20171031022445"

How to access the content of an iframe with jQuery?

Excel select a value from a cell having row number calculated

You could use the INDIRECT function. This takes a string and converts it into a range

More info here

=INDIRECT("K"&A2)

But it's preferable to use INDEX as it is less volatile.

=INDEX(K:K,A2)

This returns a value or the reference to a value from within a table or range

More info here

Put either function into cell B2 and fill down.

How to fix "unable to open stdio.h in Turbo C" error?

Check if you have anything like those stdio.h file and other header files under INCLUDE folder and LIB folder. LIB contains some files. In my case, I had the same issue but both of these folder were blank.. good to know. Steps:

  1. Press: ALT + O + D (i.e. press ATL (keep pressed) and then O english character) and then D).
  2. You'll see a popup window.
  3. This window will have values for INCLUDE and LIB directories. The by default value for these two boxes in the popup window are: Drive leter where you installed TC... i.e. C:\ or D:\ or whatever followed by the path for INCLUDE and LIB folder. So, in my case,

    INCLUDE box was set to: "C:\TC\INCLUDE" and LIB directory value box was set to: "C:\TC\LIB" (without quotes). Steps to resolve:

  4. Press ALT + C.

  5. Set your current directory as C:\TC\BGI
  6. Press ALT + O + D, and put ../INCLUDE and ../LIB in Include/Lib directory values.
  7. and now... when you'll run your progress, you'll say thanks to me. I like the archduchess C fractal graphics that I'm running on DOS Turbo C right now. Lol.

Node update a specific package

Always you can do it manually. Those are the steps:

  • Go to the NPM package page, and search for the GitHub link.
  • Now download the latest version using GitHub download link, or by clonning. git clone github_url
  • Copy the package to your node_modules folder for e.g. node_modules/browser-sync

Now it should work for you. To be sure it will not break in the future when you do npm i, continue the upcoming two steps:

  • Check the version of the new package by reading the package.json file in it's folder.
  • Open your project package.json and set the same version for where it's appear in the dependencies part of your package.json

While it's not recommened to do it manually. Sometimes it's good to understand how things are working under the hood, to be able to fix things. I found myself doing it from time to time.

Is there an easy way to convert Android Application to IPad, IPhone

I think you cannot speak of a "conversion" here. That will be a whole project. To "convert" it i think you have to write it again for the iphone.

Have a look at this question:

Is there a multiplatform framework for developing iPhone / Android applications?

As you can see from the answers there, there is no good way of developing applications for both platforms at the same time (except if you're developing games where flash makes it easy to be portable).

HTTP GET in VB.NET

In VB.NET:

Dim webClient As New System.Net.WebClient
Dim result As String = webClient.DownloadString("http://api.hostip.info/?ip=68.180.206.184")

In C#:

System.Net.WebClient webClient = new System.Net.WebClient();
string result = webClient.DownloadString("http://api.hostip.info/?ip=68.180.206.184");

Which programming language for cloud computing?

"Cloud computing" is more of an operating-system-level concept than a language concept.

Let's say you want to host an application on Amazon's EC2 cloud computing service -- you can develop it in any language you like, on any operating system supported by EC2 (several flavors of Linux, Solaris, and Windows), then install and run it "in the cloud" on one or more virtual machines, much as you would do on a dedicated physical server.

Can't push to the heroku

If you are using django app to deploy on heroku

make sure to put request library in the requirements.txt file.

Convert an array to string

You probably want something like this overload of String.Join:

String.Join<T> Method (String, IEnumerable<T>)

Docs:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd992421.aspx

In your example, you'd use

String.Join("", Client);

Setting environment variable in react-native?

I used the __DEV__ polyfill that is built into react-native in order to solve this problem. It is automatically set to true so long as you are not building react native for production.

E.g.:

//vars.js

let url, publicKey;
if (__DEV__) {
  url = ...
  publicKey = ...
} else {
  url = ...
  publicKey = ...
}

export {url, publicKey}

Then just import {url} from '../vars'and you'll always get the correct one. Unfortunately, this wont work if you want more than two environments, but its easy and doesn't involve adding more dependencies to your project.

What is the difference between a stored procedure and a view?

A view represents a virtual table. You can join multiple tables in a view and use the view to present the data as if the data were coming from a single table.

A stored procedure uses parameters to do a function... whether it is updating and inserting data, or returning single values or data sets.

Creating Views and Stored Procedures - has some information from Microsoft as to when and why to use each.

Say I have two tables:

  • tbl_user, with columns: user_id, user_name, user_pw
  • tbl_profile, with columns: profile_id, user_id, profile_description

So, if I find myself querying from those tables A LOT... instead of doing the join in EVERY piece of SQL, I would define a view like:

CREATE VIEW vw_user_profile
AS
  SELECT A.user_id, B.profile_description
  FROM tbl_user A LEFT JOIN tbl_profile B ON A.user_id = b.user_id
GO

Thus, if I want to query profile_description by user_id in the future, all I have to do is:

SELECT profile_description FROM vw_user_profile WHERE user_id = @ID

That code could be used in a stored procedure like:

CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.getDesc
    @ID int
AS
BEGIN
    SELECT profile_description FROM vw_user_profile WHERE user_id = @ID
END
GO

So, later on, I can call:

dbo.getDesc 25

and I will get the description for user_id 25, where the 25 is your parameter.

There is obviously a lot more detail, this is just the basic idea.

How to get setuptools and easy_install?

please try to install the dependencie with pip, run this command:

sudo pip install -U setuptools

How do I schedule a task to run at periodic intervals?

Use timer.scheduleAtFixedRate

public void scheduleAtFixedRate(TimerTask task,
                                long delay,
                                long period)

Schedules the specified task for repeated fixed-rate execution, beginning after the specified delay. Subsequent executions take place at approximately regular intervals, separated by the specified period.
In fixed-rate execution, each execution is scheduled relative to the scheduled execution time of the initial execution. If an execution is delayed for any reason (such as garbage collection or other background activity), two or more executions will occur in rapid succession to "catch up." In the long run, the frequency of execution will be exactly the reciprocal of the specified period (assuming the system clock underlying Object.wait(long) is accurate).

Fixed-rate execution is appropriate for recurring activities that are sensitive to absolute time, such as ringing a chime every hour on the hour, or running scheduled maintenance every day at a particular time. It is also appropriate for recurring activities where the total time to perform a fixed number of executions is important, such as a countdown timer that ticks once every second for ten seconds. Finally, fixed-rate execution is appropriate for scheduling multiple repeating timer tasks that must remain synchronized with respect to one another.

Parameters:

  • task - task to be scheduled.
  • delay - delay in milliseconds before task is to be executed.
  • period - time in milliseconds between successive task executions.

Throws:

  • IllegalArgumentException - if delay is negative, or delay + System.currentTimeMillis() is negative.
  • IllegalStateException - if task was already scheduled or cancelled, timer was cancelled, or timer thread terminated.

Checking whether the pip is installed?

Use command line and not python.
TLDR; On Windows, do:
python -m pip --version
OR
py -m pip --version

Details:

On Windows, ~> (open windows terminal)
Start (or Windows Key) > type "cmd" Press Enter
You should see a screen that looks like this enter image description here
To check to see if pip is installed.

python -m pip --version

if pip is installed, go ahead and use it. for example:

Z:\>python -m pip install selenium

if not installed, install pip, and you may need to
add its path to the environment variables.
(basic - windows)
add path to environment variables (basic+advanced)

if python is NOT installed you will get a result similar to the one below

enter image description here

Install python. add its path to environment variables.

UPDATE: for newer versions of python replace "python" with py - see @gimmegimme's comment and link https://packaging.python.org/guides/installing-using-pip-and-virtual-environments/

Import Libraries in Eclipse?

For the Android library projects, I do it as in the attached screenshot:

Right click the project, select Properties->Android and in the library section click Add. From here you can select the available libraries.

If you are importing a jar file, then importing them as jar or external jar, as other posters posted would work. I prefer to copy/paste jar file in the libs folder (create one if it doesn't exist) and then import as jar.

How to write LDAP query to test if user is member of a group?

You should be able to create a query with this filter here:

(&(objectClass=user)(sAMAccountName=yourUserName)
  (memberof=CN=YourGroup,OU=Users,DC=YourDomain,DC=com))

and when you run that against your LDAP server, if you get a result, your user "yourUserName" is indeed a member of the group "CN=YourGroup,OU=Users,DC=YourDomain,DC=com

Try and see if this works!

If you use C# / VB.Net and System.DirectoryServices, this snippet should do the trick:

DirectoryEntry rootEntry = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://dc=yourcompany,dc=com");

DirectorySearcher srch = new DirectorySearcher(rootEntry);
srch.SearchScope = SearchScope.Subtree;

srch.Filter = "(&(objectClass=user)(sAMAccountName=yourusername)(memberOf=CN=yourgroup,OU=yourOU,DC=yourcompany,DC=com))";

SearchResultCollection res = srch.FindAll();

if(res == null || res.Count <= 0) {
    Console.WriteLine("This user is *NOT* member of that group");
} else {
    Console.WriteLine("This user is INDEED a member of that group");
}

Word of caution: this will only test for immediate group memberships, and it will not test for membership in what is called the "primary group" (usually "cn=Users") in your domain. It does not handle nested memberships, e.g. User A is member of Group A which is member of Group B - that fact that User A is really a member of Group B as well doesn't get reflected here.

How to hide the Google Invisible reCAPTCHA badge

I decided to hide the badge on all pages except my contact page (using Wordpress):

/* Hides the reCAPTCHA on every page */
.grecaptcha-badge {
    visibility: hidden !important;
}

/* Shows the reCAPTCHA on the Contact page */
/* Obviously change the page number to your own */
.page-id-17 .grecaptcha-badge {
    visibility: visible !important;
}

I'm not a web developer so please correct me if there's something wrong.

EDIT: Updated to use visibility instead of display.

How can I join multiple SQL tables using the IDs?

Simple INNER JOIN VIEW code....

In my case, it's just because internet connection. Maybe some proxy or wifi firewall or other things which is probably disturb the connection (Because when I visit the link manually here chrome said the file may harm your computer). So I tried using another connection such tethering hotspot from my phone.

How to store arrays in MySQL?

What is the difference between a pandas Series and a single-column DataFrame?

Series is a one-dimensional object that can hold any data type such as integers, floats and strings e.g

   import pandas as pd
   x = pd.Series([A,B,C]) 

0 A
1 B
2 C

The first column of Series is known as index i.e 0,1,2 the second column is your actual data i.e A,B,C

DataFrames is two-dimensional object that can hold series, list, dictionary

df=pd.DataFrame(rd(5,4),['A','B','C','D','E'],['W','X','Y','Z'])

storing user input in array

You have at least these 3 issues:

  1. you are not getting the element's value properly
  2. The div that you are trying to use to display whether the values have been saved or not has id display yet in your javascript you attempt to get element myDiv which is not even defined in your markup.
  3. Never name variables with reserved keywords in javascript. using "string" as a variable name is NOT a good thing to do on most of the languages I can think of. I renamed your string variable to "content" instead. See below.

You can save all three values at once by doing:

var title=new Array();
var names=new Array();//renamed to names -added an S- 
                      //to avoid conflicts with the input named "name"
var tickets=new Array();

function insert(){
    var titleValue = document.getElementById('title').value;
    var actorValue = document.getElementById('name').value;
    var ticketsValue = document.getElementById('tickets').value;
    title[title.length]=titleValue;
    names[names.length]=actorValue;
    tickets[tickets.length]=ticketsValue;
  }

And then change the show function to:

function show() {
  var content="<b>All Elements of the Arrays :</b><br>";
  for(var i = 0; i < title.length; i++) {
     content +=title[i]+"<br>";
  }
  for(var i = 0; i < names.length; i++) {
     content +=names[i]+"<br>";
  }
  for(var i = 0; i < tickets.length; i++) {
     content +=tickets[i]+"<br>";
  }
  document.getElementById('display').innerHTML = content; //note that I changed 
                                                    //to 'display' because that's
                                              //what you have in your markup
}

Here's a jsfiddle for you to play around.

Instantly detect client disconnection from server socket

Expanding on comments by mbargiel and mycelo on the accepted answer, the following can be used with a non-blocking socket on the server end to inform whether the client has shut down.

This approach does not suffer the race condition that affects the Poll method in the accepted answer.

// Determines whether the remote end has called Shutdown
public bool HasRemoteEndShutDown
{
    get
    {
        try
        {
            int bytesRead = socket.Receive(new byte[1], SocketFlags.Peek);

            if (bytesRead == 0)
                return true;
        }
        catch
        {
            // For a non-blocking socket, a SocketException with 
            // code 10035 (WSAEWOULDBLOCK) indicates no data available.
        }

        return false;
    }
}

The approach is based on the fact that the Socket.Receive method returns zero immediately after the remote end shuts down its socket and we've read all of the data from it. From Socket.Receive documentation:

If the remote host shuts down the Socket connection with the Shutdown method, and all available data has been received, the Receive method will complete immediately and return zero bytes.

If you are in non-blocking mode, and there is no data available in the protocol stack buffer, the Receive method will complete immediately and throw a SocketException.

The second point explains the need for the try-catch.

Use of the SocketFlags.Peek flag leaves any received data untouched for a separate receive mechanism to read.

The above will work with a blocking socket as well, but be aware that the code will block on the Receive call (until data is received or the receive timeout elapses, again resulting in a SocketException).

Create component to specific module with Angular-CLI

1.- Create your feature module as usual.

ng generate module dirlevel1/module-name

2.- You can specify the ROOT PATH of your project in --module ( only in --module, (/) root points to your PROJECT ROOT and IS NOT THE SYSTEM ROOT!!!)

ng generate component dirlevel1/component-name --module /src/app/dirlevel1/module-name.module.ts

Real Example:

ng generate module stripe/payment-methods-list
ng generate component stripe/payment-methods-list --module=/src/app/stripe/payment-methods-list/payment-methods-list.module.ts 

Output:

CREATE src/app/stripe/payment-methods-list/payment-methods-list.component.scss (0 bytes)
CREATE src/app/stripe/payment-methods-list/payment-methods-list.component.html (39 bytes)
CREATE src/app/stripe/payment-methods-list/payment-methods-list.component.spec.ts (768 bytes)
CREATE src/app/stripe/payment-methods-list/payment-methods-list.component.ts (322 bytes)
UPDATE src/app/stripe/payment-methods-list/payment-methods-list.module.ts (311 bytes)
[OK] Generated component!

How to split strings into text and number?

I would approach this by using re.match in the following way:

import re

    items = match.groups()
print(items)
>> ("foofo", "21")

I do not want to inherit the child opacity from the parent in CSS

If you have to use an image as the transparent background, you might be able to work around it using a pseudo element:

html

<div class="wrap"> 
   <p>I have 100% opacity</p>  
</div>

css

.wrap, .wrap > * {
  position: relative;
}
.wrap:before {
  content: " ";
  opacity: 0.2;
  background: url("http://placehold.it/100x100/FF0000") repeat;     
  position: absolute;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
}

Bind failed: Address already in use

Everyone is correct. However, if you're also busy testing your code your own application might still "own" the socket if it starts and stops relatively quickly. Try SO_REUSEADDR as a socket option:

What exactly does SO_REUSEADDR do?

This socket option tells the kernel that even if this port is busy (in the TIME_WAIT state), go ahead and reuse it anyway. If it is busy, but with another state, you will still get an address already in use error. It is useful if your server has been shut down, and then restarted right away while sockets are still active on its port. You should be aware that if any unexpected data comes in, it may confuse your server, but while this is possible, it is not likely.

It has been pointed out that "A socket is a 5 tuple (proto, local addr, local port, remote addr, remote port). SO_REUSEADDR just says that you can reuse local addresses. The 5 tuple still must be unique!" by Michael Hunter ([email protected]). This is true, and this is why it is very unlikely that unexpected data will ever be seen by your server. The danger is that such a 5 tuple is still floating around on the net, and while it is bouncing around, a new connection from the same client, on the same system, happens to get the same remote port. This is explained by Richard Stevens in ``2.7 Please explain the TIME_WAIT state.''.

Change values on matplotlib imshow() graph axis

I would try to avoid changing the xticklabels if possible, otherwise it can get very confusing if you for example overplot your histogram with additional data.

Defining the range of your grid is probably the best and with imshow it can be done by adding the extent keyword. This way the axes gets adjusted automatically. If you want to change the labels i would use set_xticks with perhaps some formatter. Altering the labels directly should be the last resort.

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(6,6))

ax.imshow(hist, cmap=plt.cm.Reds, interpolation='none', extent=[80,120,32,0])
ax.set_aspect(2) # you may also use am.imshow(..., aspect="auto") to restore the aspect ratio

generate random string for div id

I would suggest that you start with some sort of placeholder, you may have this already, but its somewhere to append the div.

<div id="placeholder"></div>

Now, the idea is to dynamically create a new div, with your random id:

var rndId = randomString(8); 
var div = document.createElement('div');
div.id = rndId
div.innerHTML = "Whatever you want the content of your div to be";

this can be apended to your placeholder as follows:

document.getElementById('placeholder').appendChild(div);

You can then use that in your jwplayer code:

jwplayer(rndId).setup(...);

Live example: http://jsfiddle.net/pNYZp/

Sidenote: Im pretty sure id's must start with an alpha character (ie, no numbers) - you might want to change your implementation of randomstring to enforce this rule. (ref)

Breaking up long strings on multiple lines in Ruby without stripping newlines

You can use \ to indicate that any line of Ruby continues on the next line. This works with strings too:

string = "this is a \

What is output buffering?

I know that this is an old question but I wanted to write my answer for visual learners. I couldn't find any diagrams explaining output buffering on the worldwide-web so I made a diagram myself in Windows mspaint.exe.

If output buffering is turned off, then echo will send data immediately to the Browser.

enter image description here

If output buffering is turned on, then an echo will send data to the output buffer before sending it to the Browser.

enter image description here

phpinfo

To see whether Output buffering is turned on / off please refer to phpinfo at the core section. The output_buffering directive will tell you if Output buffering is on/off.

enter image description here In this case the output_buffering value is 4096 which means that the buffer size is 4 KB. It also means that Output buffering is turned on, on the Web server.

php.ini

It's possible to turn on/off and change buffer size by changing the value of the output_buffering directive. Just find it in php.ini, change it to the setting of your choice, and restart the Web server. You can find a sample of my php.ini below.

; Output buffering is a mechanism for controlling how much output data
; (excluding headers and cookies) PHP should keep internally before pushing that
; data to the client. If your application's output exceeds this setting, PHP
; will send that data in chunks of roughly the size you specify.
; Turning on this setting and managing its maximum buffer size can yield some
; interesting side-effects depending on your application and web server.
; You may be able to send headers and cookies after you've already sent output
; through print or echo. You also may see performance benefits if your server is
; emitting less packets due to buffered output versus PHP streaming the output
; as it gets it. On production servers, 4096 bytes is a good setting for performance
; reasons.
; Note: Output buffering can also be controlled via Output Buffering Control
;   functions.
; Possible Values:
;   On = Enabled and buffer is unlimited. (Use with caution)
;   Off = Disabled
;   Integer = Enables the buffer and sets its maximum size in bytes.
; Note: This directive is hardcoded to Off for the CLI SAPI
; Default Value: Off
; Development Value: 4096
; Production Value: 4096
; http://php.net/output-buffering
output_buffering = 4096

The directive output_buffering is not the only configurable directive regarding Output buffering. You can find other configurable Output buffering directives here: http://php.net/manual/en/outcontrol.configuration.php

Example: ob_get_clean()

Below you can see how to capture an echo and manipulate it before sending it to the browser.

// Turn on output buffering  
ob_start();  

echo 'Hello World';  // save to output buffer

$output = ob_get_clean();  // Get content from the output buffer, and discard the output buffer ...
$output = strtoupper($output); // manipulate the output  

echo $output;  // send to output stream / Browser

// OUTPUT:  
HELLO WORLD

Numpy how to iterate over columns of array?

For a three dimensional array you could try:

for c in array.transpose(1, 0, 2):
    do_stuff(c)

See the docs on how array.transpose works. Basically you are specifying which dimension to shift. In this case we are shifting the second dimension (e.g. columns) to the first dimension.

WebSockets protocol vs HTTP

A regular REST API uses HTTP as the underlying protocol for communication, which follows the request and response paradigm, meaning the communication involves the client requesting some data or resource from a server, and the server responding back to that client. However, HTTP is a stateless protocol, so every request-response cycle will end up having to repeat the header and metadata information. This incurs additional latency in case of frequently repeated request-response cycles.

http

With WebSockets, although the communication still starts off as an initial HTTP handshake, it is further upgraded to follow the WebSockets protocol (i.e. if both the server and the client are compliant with the protocol as not all entities support the WebSockets protocol).

Now with WebSockets, it is possible to establish a full-duplex and persistent connection between the client and a server. This means that unlike a request and a response, the connection stays open for as long as the application is running (i.e. it’s persistent), and since it is full-duplex, two-way simultaneous communication is possible i.e now the server is capable of initiating communication and 'push' some data to the client when new data (that the client is interested in) becomes available.

websockets

The WebSockets protocol is stateful and allows you to implement the Publish-Subscribe (or Pub/Sub) messaging pattern which is the primary concept used in the real-time technologies where you are able to get new updates in the form of server push without the client having to request (refresh the page) repeatedly. Examples of such applications are Uber car's location tracking, Push Notifications, Stock market prices updating in real-time, chat, multiplayer games, live online collaboration tools, etc.

You can check out a deep dive article on Websockets which explains the history of this protocol, how it came into being, what it’s used for and how you can implement it yourself.

Here's a video from a presentation I did about WebSockets and how they are different from using the regular REST APIs: Standardisation and leveraging the exponential rise in data streaming

Guzzlehttp - How get the body of a response from Guzzle 6?

For get response in JSON format :

  1.$response = (string) $res->getBody();
      $response =json_decode($response); // Using this you can access any key like below
     
     $key_value = $response->key_name; //access key  

  2. $response = json_decode($res->getBody(),true);
     
     $key_value =   $response['key_name'];//access key

How to style dt and dd so they are on the same line?

I usually start with the following when styling definition lists as tables:

dt,
dd{
    /* Override browser defaults */
    display: inline;
    margin: 0;
}

dt  {
    clear:left;
    float:left;
    line-height:1; /* Adjust this value as you see fit */
    width:33%; /* 1/3 the width of the parent. Adjust this value as you see fit */
}

dd {
    clear:right;
    float: right;
    line-height:1; /* Adjust this value as you see fit */
    width:67%; /* 2/3 the width of the parent. Adjust this value as you see fit */
}

Current time formatting with Javascript

function formatTime(date){

  d = new Date(date);
  var h=d.getHours(),m=d.getMinutes(),l="AM";
  if(h > 12){
    h = h - 12;
  }
  if(h < 10){
    h = '0'+h;
  }
  if(m < 10){
    m = '0'+m;
  }
  if(d.getHours() >= 12){
    l="PM"
  }else{
    l="AM"
  }

  return h+':'+m+' '+l;

}

Usage & result:

var formattedTime=formatTime(new Date('2020 15:00'));
// Output: "03:00 PM"

textarea's rows, and cols attribute in CSS

As far as I know, you can't.

Besides, that isnt what CSS is for anyway. CSS is for styling and HTML is for markup.

git: diff between file in local repo and origin

To check with current branch:

git diff -- projects/components/some.component.ts ... origin

To check with some other branch say staging:

git diff -- projects/components/some.component.ts ... origin/staging
git diff -- projects/components/some.component.html ... origin/staging

Mocking member variables of a class using Mockito

This is not possible if you can't change your code. But I like dependency injection and Mockito supports it:

public class First {    
    @Resource
    Second second;

    public First() {
        second = new Second();
    }

    public String doSecond() {
        return second.doSecond();
    }
}

Your test:

@RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class)
public class YourTest {
   @Mock
   Second second;

   @InjectMocks
   First first = new First();

   public void testFirst(){
      when(second.doSecond()).thenReturn("Stubbed Second");
      assertEquals("Stubbed Second", first.doSecond());
   }
}

This is very nice and easy.

How To Remove Outline Border From Input Button

Set both the outline and the box-shadow properties of the button to none and make them important.

input[type="button"] {
    outline: none !important;
    box-shadow: none !important;
} 


The reason for setting the values to important is that, if you are using other CSS libraries or frameworks like Bootstrap, it might get overridden.

Node.js - SyntaxError: Unexpected token import

As of Node.js v12 (and this is probably fairly stable now, but still marked "experimental"), you have a couple of options for using ESM (ECMAScript Modules) in Node.js (for files, there's a third way for evaling strings), here's what the documentation says:

The --experimental-modules flag can be used to enable support for ECMAScript modules (ES modules).

Once enabled, Node.js will treat the following as ES modules when passed to node as the initial input, or when referenced by import statements within ES module code:

  • Files ending in .mjs.

  • Files ending in .js, or extensionless files, when the nearest parent package.json file contains a top-level field "type" with a value of "module".

  • Strings passed in as an argument to --eval or --print, or piped to node via STDIN, with the flag --input-type=module.

Node.js will treat as CommonJS all other forms of input, such as .js files where the nearest parent package.json file contains no top-level "type" field, or string input without the flag --input-type. This behavior is to preserve backward compatibility. However, now that Node.js supports both CommonJS and ES modules, it is best to be explicit whenever possible. Node.js will treat the following as CommonJS when passed to node as the initial input, or when referenced by import statements within ES module code:

  • Files ending in .cjs.

  • Files ending in .js, or extensionless files, when the nearest parent package.json file contains a top-level field "type" with a value of "commonjs".

  • Strings passed in as an argument to --eval or --print, or piped to node via STDIN, with the flag --input-type=commonjs.

How to read input with multiple lines in Java

The easilest way is

import java.util.*;

public class Stdio4 {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    int a=0;
    int arr[] = new int[3];
    Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
    for(int i=0;i<3;i++)
    { 
         a = scan.nextInt();  //Takes input from separate lines
         arr[i]=a;


    }
    for(int i=0;i<3;i++)
    { 
         System.out.println(arr[i]);   //outputs in separate lines also
    }

}

}

How should I load files into my Java application?

What are you loading the files for - configuration or data (like an input file) or as a resource?

  • If as a resource, follow the suggestion and example given by Will and Justin
  • If configuration, then you can use a ResourceBundle or Spring (if your configuration is more complex).
  • If you need to read a file in order to process the data inside, this code snippet may help BufferedReader file = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(filename)) and then read each line of the file using file.readLine(); Don't forget to close the file.

Set Page Title using PHP

How do I create a sequence in MySQL?

By creating the increment table you should be aware not to delete inserted rows. reason for this is to avoid storing large dumb data in db with ID-s in it. Otherwise in case of mysql restart it would get max existing row and continue increment from that point as mention in documentation http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/innodb-auto-increment-handling.html

Which means it's working now!

CSS word-wrapping in div

As Andrew said, your text should be doing just that.

There is one instance that I can think of that will behave in the manner you suggest, and that is if you have the whitespace property set.

See if you don't have the following in your CSS somewhere:

white-space: nowrap

That will cause text to continue on the same line until interrupted by a line break.

OK, my apologies, not sure if edited or added the mark-up afterwards (didn't see it at first).

The overflow-x property is what's causing the scroll bar to appear. Remove that and the div will adjust to as high as it needs to be to contain all your text.

How to enable CORS in apache tomcat

Just to add a bit of extra info over the right solution. Be aware that you'll need this class org.apache.catalina.filters.CorsFilter. So in order to have it, if your tomcat is not 7.0.41 or higher, download 'tomcat-catalina.7.0.41.jar' or higher ( you can do it from http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.tomcat/tomcat-catalina ) and put it in the 'lib' folder inside Tomcat installation folders. I actually used 7.0.42 Hope it helps!

not finding android sdk (Unity)

In my case, I was trying to build and get APK for an old Unity 3D project (so that I can play the game in my Android phone). I was using the most recent Android Studio version, and all the SDK packages I could download via SDK Manager in Android Studio. SDK Packages was located in

C:/Users/Onat/AppData/Local/Android/Sdk And the error message I got was the same except the JDK (Java Development Kit) version "jdk-12.0.2" . JDK was located in

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-12.0.2 And Environment Variable in Windows was JAVA_HOME : C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-12.0.2

After 3 hours of research, I found out that Unity does not support JDK 10. As told in https://forum.unity.com/threads/gradle-build-failed-error-could-not-determine-java-version-from-10-0-1.532169/ . My suggestion is:

1.Uninstall unwanted JDK if you have one installed already. https://www.java.com/tr/download/help/uninstall_java.xml

2.Head to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html

3.Login to/Open a Oracle account if not already logged in.

4.Download the older but functional JDK 8 for your computer set-up(32 bit/64 bit, Windows/Linux etc.)

5.Install the JDK. Remember the installation path. (https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19182-01/820-7851/inst_cli_jdk_javahome_t/)

6.If you are using Windows, Open Environment Variables and change Java Path via Right click My Computer/This PC>Properties>Advanced System Settings>Environment Variables>New>Variable Name: JAVA_HOME>Variable Value: [YOUR JDK Path, Mine was "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_221"]

7.In Unity 3D, press Edit > Preferences > External Tools and fill in the JDK path (Mine was "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_221").

8.Also, in the same pop-up, edit SDK Path. (Get it from Android Studio > SDK Manager > Android SDK > Android SDK Location.)

9.If needed, restart your computer for changes to take effect.

What are the main differences between JWT and OAuth authentication?

Firstly, we have to differentiate JWT and OAuth. Basically, JWT is a token format. OAuth is an authorization protocol that can use JWT as a token. OAuth uses server-side and client-side storage. If you want to do real logout you must go with OAuth2. Authentication with JWT token can not logout actually. Because you don't have an Authentication Server that keeps track of tokens. If you want to provide an API to 3rd party clients, you must use OAuth2 also. OAuth2 is very flexible. JWT implementation is very easy and does not take long to implement. If your application needs this sort of flexibility, you should go with OAuth2. But if you don't need this use-case scenario, implementing OAuth2 is a waste of time.

XSRF token is always sent to the client in every response header. It does not matter if a CSRF token is sent in a JWT token or not, because the CSRF token is secured with itself. Therefore sending CSRF token in JWT is unnecessary.

Is it possible to install another version of Python to Virtualenv?

Here are the options for virtualenv

$ virtualenv
You must provide a DEST_DIR
Usage: virtualenv [OPTIONS] DEST_DIR

Options:
  --version             show program's version number and exit.
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit.
  -v, --verbose         Increase verbosity.
  -q, --quiet           Decrease verbosity.
  -p PYTHON_EXE, --python=PYTHON_EXE
                        The Python interpreter to use, e.g.,
                        --python=python2.5 will use the python2.5 interpreter
                        to create the new environment.  The default is the
                        interpreter that virtualenv was installed with
                        (/usr/bin/python)
  --clear               Clear out the non-root install and start from scratch
  --no-site-packages    Don't give access to the global site-packages dir to
                        the virtual environment
  --unzip-setuptools    Unzip Setuptools or Distribute when installing it
  --relocatable         Make an EXISTING virtualenv environment relocatable.
                        This fixes up scripts and makes all .pth files
                        relative
  --distribute          Use Distribute instead of Setuptools. Set environ
                        variable VIRTUALENV_USE_DISTRIBUTE to make it the
                        default
  --prompt==PROMPT      Provides an alternative prompt prefix for this
                        environment

How to insert tab character when expandtab option is on in Vim

You can disable expandtab option from within Vim as below:

:set expandtab!

or

:set noet

PS: And set it back when you are done with inserting tab, with "set expandtab" or "set et"

PS: If you have tab set equivalent to 4 spaces in .vimrc (softtabstop), you may also like to set it to 8 spaces in order to be able to insert a tab by pressing tab key once instead of twice (set softtabstop=8).

It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
    </div>
</div>

and the js

    if ($('.AAAA').height() < $('.BBBB').height()) {
        console.log('we have overflow')
    } else {
        console.log('NO overflow')
    }

This looks easier...

Convert Xml to Table SQL Server

This is the answer, hope it helps someone :)

First there are two variations on how the xml can be written:

1

<row>
    <IdInvernadero>8</IdInvernadero>
    <IdProducto>3</IdProducto>
    <IdCaracteristica1>8</IdCaracteristica1>
    <IdCaracteristica2>8</IdCaracteristica2>
    <Cantidad>25</Cantidad>
    <Folio>4568457</Folio>
</row>
<row>
    <IdInvernadero>3</IdInvernadero>
    <IdProducto>3</IdProducto>
    <IdCaracteristica1>1</IdCaracteristica1>
    <IdCaracteristica2>2</IdCaracteristica2>
    <Cantidad>72</Cantidad>
    <Folio>4568457</Folio>
</row>

Answer:

SELECT  
       Tbl.Col.value('IdInvernadero[1]', 'smallint'),  
       Tbl.Col.value('IdProducto[1]', 'smallint'),  
       Tbl.Col.value('IdCaracteristica1[1]', 'smallint'),
       Tbl.Col.value('IdCaracteristica2[1]', 'smallint'),
       Tbl.Col.value('Cantidad[1]', 'int'),
       Tbl.Col.value('Folio[1]', 'varchar(7)')
FROM   @xml.nodes('//row') Tbl(Col)  

2.

<row IdInvernadero="8" IdProducto="3" IdCaracteristica1="8" IdCaracteristica2="8" Cantidad ="25" Folio="4568457" />                         
<row IdInvernadero="3" IdProducto="3" IdCaracteristica1="1" IdCaracteristica2="2" Cantidad ="72" Folio="4568457" />

Answer:

SELECT  
       Tbl.Col.value('@IdInvernadero', 'smallint'),  
       Tbl.Col.value('@IdProducto', 'smallint'),  
       Tbl.Col.value('@IdCaracteristica1', 'smallint'),
       Tbl.Col.value('@IdCaracteristica2', 'smallint'),
       Tbl.Col.value('@Cantidad', 'int'),
       Tbl.Col.value('@Folio', 'varchar(7)')

FROM   @xml.nodes('//row') Tbl(Col)

python time + timedelta equivalent

This is a bit nasty, but:

from datetime import datetime, timedelta

now = datetime.now().time()
# Just use January the first, 2000
d1 = datetime(2000, 1, 1, now.hour, now.minute, now.second)
d2 = d1 + timedelta(hours=1, minutes=23)
print d2.time()

How to create many labels and textboxes dynamically depending on the value of an integer variable?

Here is a simple example that should let you keep going add somethink that would act as a placeholder to your winform can be TableLayoutPanel

and then just add controls to it

   for ( int i = 0; i < COUNT; i++ ) {


    Label lblTitle = new Label();
    lblTitle.Text = i+"Your Text";
    youlayOut.Controls.Add( lblTitle, 0, i );

    TextBox txtValue = new TextBox();
    youlayOut.Controls.Add( txtValue, 2, i );
}

Check if a radio button is checked jquery

try this

if($('input:radio:checked').length > 0){
// go on with script
 }else{
    // NOTHING IS CHECKED
 }

adding line break

The correct answer is to use Environment.NewLine, as you've noted. It is environment specific and provides clarity over "\r\n" (but in reality makes no difference).

foreach (var item in FirmNameList) 
{
    if (FirmNames != "")
    {
        FirmNames += ", " + Environment.NewLine;
    }
    FirmNames += item; 
} 

Change the color of a checked menu item in a navigation drawer

One need to set NavigateItem checked true whenever item in NavigateView is clicked

//listen for navigation events
NavigationView navigationView = (NavigationView)findViewById(R.id.navigation);
navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(this);
// select the correct nav menu item
navigationView.getMenu().findItem(mNavItemId).setChecked(true);

Add NavigationItemSelectedListener on NavigationView

  @Override
  public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(final MenuItem menuItem) {
    // update highlighted item in the navigation menu
    menuItem.setChecked(true);
    mNavItemId = menuItem.getItemId();

    // allow some time after closing the drawer before performing real navigation
    // so the user can see what is happening
    mDrawerLayout.closeDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
    mDrawerActionHandler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
      @Override
      public void run() {
        navigate(menuItem.getItemId());
      }
    }, DRAWER_CLOSE_DELAY_MS);
    return true;
  }

Create a dropdown component

This might not exactly you want but I've used jquery smartmenu(https://github.com/vadikom/smartmenus) to build a ng2 dropdown menu.

 $('#main-menu').smartmenus();

How to call Stored Procedures with EntityFramework?

Once your stored procedure is imported in your model, you can right click in it (from the model browser, in the Context.Store/Stored Procedures section), and click Add Function Import. If you need a complex type as a result, you can create it right there.

Question mark characters displaying within text, why is this?

Check the character set being emitted by your mirrored server. There appears to be a difference from that to the main server -- the live site appears to be outputting Unicode, where the mirror is not. Also, it's usually a good idea to scrub Unicode characters in your incoming content and replace them with their appropriate HTML entities.

Your specific issue regards "smart quotes," "em dashes" and "en dashes." I know you can replace em dashes with &mdash; and n-dashes with &ndash; (which should be done on the input side of your database); I don't know what the correct replacement for the smart quotes would be. (I usually just replace all curly single quotes with ' and all curly double quotes with " ... Typography geeks may feel free to shoot me on sight.)

I should note that some browsers are more forgiving than others with this issue -- Internet Explorer on Windows tends to auto-magically detect and "fix" this; Firefox and most other browsers display the question marks.

Creating a List of Lists in C#

or this example, just to make it more visible:

public class CustomerListList : List<CustomerList> { }  

public class CustomerList : List<Customer> { }

public class Customer
{
   public int ID { get; set; }
   public string SomethingWithText { get; set; }
}

and you can keep it going. to the infinity and beyond !

Iterate through object properties

You can use Lodash. The documentation

var obj = {a: 1, b: 2, c: 3};
_.keys(obj).forEach(function (key) {
    ...
});

How can I account for period (AM/PM) using strftime?

>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> print(datetime.today().strftime("%H:%M %p"))
15:31 AM

Try replacing %I with %H.

What is the command to exit a Console application in C#?

You can use Environment.Exit(0) and Application.Exit.

Environment.Exit(): terminates this process and gives the underlying operating system the specified exit code.

What is the different between RESTful and RESTless

REST stands for REpresentational State Transfer and goes a little something like this:

We have a bunch of uniquely addressable 'entities' that we want made available via a web application. Those entities each have some identifier and can be accessed in various formats. REST defines a bunch of stuff about what GET, POST, etc mean for these purposes.

the basic idea with REST is that you can attach a bunch of 'renderers' to different entities so that they can be available in different formats easily using the same HTTP verbs and url formats.

For more clarification on what RESTful means and how it is used google rails. Rails is a RESTful framework so there's loads of good information available in its docs and associated blog posts. Worth a read even if you arent keen to use the framework. For example: http://www.sitepoint.com/restful-rails-part-i/

RESTless means not restful. If you have a web app that does not adhere to RESTful principles then it is not RESTful

SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list

For me, once there was a mistake in spelling of function

For e.g. instead of

$(document).ready(function(){

});

I wrote

$(document).ready(funciton(){

});

So keep that also in check

Detect Safari browser

In my case I needed to target Safari on both iOS and macOS. This worked for me:

if (/apple/i.test(navigator.vendor)) {
  // It's Safari
}

XML shape drawable not rendering desired color

I had a similar problem and found that if you remove the size definition, it works for some reason.

Remove:

<size
    android:width="60dp"
    android:height="40dp" />

from the shape.

Let me know if this works!

Get file name from URL

If you are using Spring, there is a helper to handle URIs. Here is the solution:

List<String> pathSegments = UriComponentsBuilder.fromUriString(url).build().getPathSegments();
String filename = pathSegments.get(pathSegments.size()-1);

ORDER BY items must appear in the select list if SELECT DISTINCT is specified

While they are not the same thing, in one sense DISTINCT implies a GROUP BY, because every DISTINCT could be re-written using GROUP BY instead. With that in mind, it doesn't make sense to order by something that's not in the aggregate group.

For example, if you have a table like this:

col1  col2
----  ----
 1     1
 1     2
 2     1
 2     2
 2     3
 3     1

and then try to query it like this:

SELECT DISTINCT col1 FROM [table] WHERE col2 > 2 ORDER BY col1, col2

That would make no sense, because there could end up being multiple col2 values per row. Which one should it use for the order? Of course, in this query you know the results wouldn't be that way, but the database server can't know that in advance.

Now, your case is a little different. You included all the columns from the order by clause in the select clause, and therefore it would seem at first glance that they were all grouped. However, some of those columns were included in a calculated field. When you do that in combination with distinct, the distinct directive can only be applied to the final results of the calculation: it doesn't know anything about the source of the calculation any more.

This means the server doesn't really know it can count on those columns any more. It knows that they were used, but it doesn't know if the calculation operation might cause an effect similar to my first simple example above.

So now you need to do something else to tell the server that the columns are okay to use for ordering. There are several ways to do that, but this approach should work okay:

SELECT rsc.RadioServiceCodeId,
            rsc.RadioServiceCode + ' - ' + rsc.RadioService as RadioService
FROM sbi_l_radioservicecodes rsc
INNER JOIN sbi_l_radioservicecodegroups rscg 
    ON rsc.radioservicecodeid = rscg.radioservicecodeid
WHERE rscg.radioservicegroupid IN 
    (SELECT val FROM dbo.fnParseArray(@RadioServiceGroup,','))
    OR @RadioServiceGroup IS NULL  
GROUP BY rsc.RadioServiceCode,rsc.RadioServiceCodeId,rsc.RadioService
ORDER BY rsc.RadioServiceCode,rsc.RadioServiceCodeId,rsc.RadioService

Doing HTTP requests FROM Laravel to an external API

We can use package Guzzle in Laravel, it is a PHP HTTP client to send HTTP requests.

You can install Guzzle through composer

composer require guzzlehttp/guzzle:~6.0

Or you can specify Guzzle as a dependency in your project's existing composer.json

{
   "require": {
      "guzzlehttp/guzzle": "~6.0"
   }
}

Example code in laravel 5 using Guzzle as shown below,

use GuzzleHttp\Client;
class yourController extends Controller {

    public function saveApiData()
    {
        $client = new Client();
        $res = $client->request('POST', 'https://url_to_the_api', [
            'form_params' => [
                'client_id' => 'test_id',
                'secret' => 'test_secret',
            ]
        ]);
        echo $res->getStatusCode();
        // 200
        echo $res->getHeader('content-type');
        // 'application/json; charset=utf8'
        echo $res->getBody();
        // {"type":"User"...'
}

How do I launch a program from command line without opening a new cmd window?

In Windows 7+ the first quotations will be the title to the cmd window to open the program:

start "title" "C:\path\program.exe"

Formatting your command like the above will temporarily open a cmd window that goes away as fast as it comes up so you really never see it. It also allows you to open more than one program without waiting for the first one to close first.

Maximum concurrent Socket.IO connections

I tried to use socket.io on AWS, I can at most keep around 600 connections stable.

And I found out it is because socket.io used long polling first and upgraded to websocket later.

after I set the config to use websocket only, I can keep around 9000 connections.

Set this config at client side:

const socket = require('socket.io-client')
const conn = socket(host, { upgrade: false, transports: ['websocket'] })

Disabling and enabling a html input button

the disable attribute only has one parameter. if you want to reenable it you have to remove the whole thing, not just change the value.

Cast object to T

Actually, the problem here is the use of ReadContentAsObject. Unfortunately, this method does not live up to its expectations; while it should detect the most appropirate type for the value, it actually returns a string, no matter what(this can be verified using Reflector).

However, in your specific case, you already know the type you want to cast to, therefore i would say you are using the wrong method.

Try using ReadContentAs instead, it's exactly what you need.

private static T ReadData<T>(XmlReader reader, string value)
{
    reader.MoveToAttribute(value);
    object readData = reader.ReadContentAs(typeof(T), null);
    return (T)readData;
}

In Python, what happens when you import inside of a function?

The very first time you import goo from anywhere (inside or outside a function), goo.py (or other importable form) is loaded and sys.modules['goo'] is set to the module object thus built. Any future import within the same run of the program (again, whether inside or outside a function) just look up sys.modules['goo'] and bind it to barename goo in the appropriate scope. The dict lookup and name binding are very fast operations.

Assuming the very first import gets totally amortized over the program's run anyway, having the "appropriate scope" be module-level means each use of goo.this, goo.that, etc, is two dict lookups -- one for goo and one for the attribute name. Having it be "function level" pays one extra local-variable setting per run of the function (even faster than the dictionary lookup part!) but saves one dict lookup (exchanging it for a local-variable lookup, blazingly fast) for each goo.this (etc) access, basically halving the time such lookups take.

We're talking about a few nanoseconds one way or another, so it's hardly a worthwhile optimization. The one potentially substantial advantage of having the import within a function is when that function may well not be needed at all in a given run of the program, e.g., that function deals with errors, anomalies, and rare situations in general; if that's the case, any run that does not need the functionality will not even perform the import (and that's a saving of microseconds, not just nanoseconds), only runs that do need the functionality will pay the (modest but measurable) price.

It's still an optimization that's only worthwhile in pretty extreme situations, and there are many others I would consider before trying to squeeze out microseconds in this way.

Programmatically scroll to a specific position in an Android ListView

it is easy list-view.set selection(you pos); or you can save your position with SharedPreference and when you start activity it get preferences and setSeletion to that int

How to find the width of a div using vanilla JavaScript?

All Answers are right, but i still want to give some other alternatives that may work.

If you are looking for the assigned width (ignoring padding, margin and so on) you could use.

getComputedStyle(element).width; //returns value in px like "727.7px"

getComputedStyle allows you to access all styles of that elements. For example: padding, paddingLeft, margin, border-top-left-radius and so on.

Escape string for use in Javascript regex

Short 'n Sweet

function escapeRegExp(string) {
  return string.replace(/[.*+?^${}()|[\]\\]/g, '\\$&'); // $& means the whole matched string
}

Example

escapeRegExp("All of these should be escaped: \ ^ $ * + ? . ( ) | { } [ ]");

>>> "All of these should be escaped: \\ \^ \$ \* \+ \? \. \( \) \| \{ \} \[ \] "

(NOTE: the above is not the original answer; it was edited to show the one from MDN. This means it does not match what you will find in the code in the below npm, and does not match what is shown in the below long answer. The comments are also now confusing. My recommendation: use the above, or get it from MDN, and ignore the rest of this answer. -Darren,Nov 2019)

Install

Available on npm as escape-string-regexp

npm install --save escape-string-regexp

Note

See MDN: Javascript Guide: Regular Expressions

Other symbols (~`!@# ...) MAY be escaped without consequence, but are not required to be.

Test Case: A typical url

escapeRegExp("/path/to/resource.html?search=query");

>>> "\/path\/to\/resource\.html\?search=query"

The Long Answer

If you're going to use the function above at least link to this stack overflow post in your code's documentation so that it doesn't look like crazy hard-to-test voodoo.

var escapeRegExp;

(function () {
  // Referring to the table here:
  // https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/regexp
  // these characters should be escaped
  // \ ^ $ * + ? . ( ) | { } [ ]
  // These characters only have special meaning inside of brackets
  // they do not need to be escaped, but they MAY be escaped
  // without any adverse effects (to the best of my knowledge and casual testing)
  // : ! , = 
  // my test "~!@#$%^&*(){}[]`/=?+\|-_;:'\",<.>".match(/[\#]/g)

  var specials = [
        // order matters for these
          "-"
        , "["
        , "]"
        // order doesn't matter for any of these
        , "/"
        , "{"
        , "}"
        , "("
        , ")"
        , "*"
        , "+"
        , "?"
        , "."
        , "\\"
        , "^"
        , "$"
        , "|"
      ]

      // I choose to escape every character with '\'
      // even though only some strictly require it when inside of []
    , regex = RegExp('[' + specials.join('\\') + ']', 'g')
    ;

  escapeRegExp = function (str) {
    return str.replace(regex, "\\$&");
  };

  // test escapeRegExp("/path/to/res?search=this.that")
}());

case statement in where clause - SQL Server

simply do the select:

((@day = 'Monday' AND (Monday = 1))
OR (@day = 'Tuesday' AND (Tuesday = 1))
OR (Wednesday = 1))

HTML5 Canvas Rotate Image

This is the simplest code to draw a rotated and scaled image:

function drawImage(ctx, image, x, y, w, h, degrees){
  ctx.save();
  ctx.translate(x+w/2, y+h/2);
  ctx.rotate(degrees*Math.PI/180.0);
  ctx.translate(-x-w/2, -y-h/2);
  ctx.drawImage(image, x, y, w, h);
  ctx.restore();
}

assign value using linq

You can create a extension method:

public static IEnumerable<T> Do<T>(this IEnumerable<T> self, Action<T> action) {
    foreach(var item in self) {
        action(item);
        yield return item;
    }
}

And then use it in code:

listofCompany.Do(d=>d.Id = 1);
listofCompany.Where(d=>d.Name.Contains("Inc")).Do(d=>d.Id = 1);

Unit Testing C Code

I use CxxTest for an embedded c/c++ environment (primarily C++).

I prefer CxxTest because it has a perl/python script to build the test runner. After a small slope to get it setup (smaller still since you don't have to write the test runner), it's pretty easy to use (includes samples and useful documentation). The most work was setting up the 'hardware' the code accesses so I could unit/module test effectively. After that it's easy to add new unit test cases.

As mentioned previously it is a C/C++ unit test framework. So you will need a C++ compiler.

Can IntelliJ IDEA encapsulate all of the functionality of WebStorm and PHPStorm through plugins?

All of the functionality of our lightweight IDEs can be found within IntelliJ IDEA (you need to install the corresponding plug-ins from the repository).

It includes support for all technologies developed for our more specific products such as Web/PhpStorm, RubyMine and PyCharm.

The specific feature missing from IntelliJ IDEA is simplified project creation ("Open Directory") used in lighter products as it is not applicable to the IDE that support such a wide range of languages and technologies. It also means that you can't create projects directly from the remote hosts in IDEA.

If you are missing any other feature that is available in lighter products, but is not available in IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, you are welcome to report it and we'll consider adding it.

While PHP, Python and Ruby IDEA plug-ins are built from the same source code as used in PhpStorm, PyCharm and RubyMine, product release cycles are not synchronized. It means that some features may be already available in the lighter products, but not available in IDEA plug-ins at certain periods, they are added with the plug-in and IDEA updates later.

PL/SQL print out ref cursor returned by a stored procedure

Note: This code is untested

Define a record for your refCursor return type, call it rec. For example:

TYPE MyRec IS RECORD (col1 VARCHAR2(10), col2 VARCHAR2(20), ...);  --define the record
rec MyRec;        -- instantiate the record

Once you have the refcursor returned from your procedure, you can add the following code where your comments are now:

LOOP
  FETCH refCursor INTO rec;
  EXIT WHEN refCursor%NOTFOUND;
  dbms_output.put_line(rec.col1||','||rec.col2||','||...);
END LOOP;

Javascript for "Add to Home Screen" on iPhone?

In javascript, it is not possible but yes with the help of “Web Clips” we can create a "add to home screen" icon or shortcut in iPhone( by the code file of .mobileconfig)

https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/NetworkingInternet/Conceptual/iPhoneOTAConfiguration/ConfigurationProfileExamples/ConfigurationProfileExamples.html

http://appdistro.cttapp.com/webclip/

after create a mobileconfig file we can pass this url in iphone safari browser install certificate and after done it check your iphone home screen there is a shortcut icon of your Web page or webapp..

For homebrew mysql installs, where's my.cnf?

In case of Homebrew, mysql would also look for my.cnf in it's Cellar directory, for example:

/usr/local/Cellar/mysql/5.7.21/my.cnf

For the case one prefers to keep the config close to the binaries - create my.cnf here if it's missing.

Restart mysql after change:

brew services restart mysql

substring index range

public String substring(int beginIndex, int endIndex)

beginIndex—the begin index, inclusive.

endIndex—the end index, exclusive.

Example:

public class Test {

    public static void main(String args[]) {
        String Str = new String("Hello World");

        System.out.println(Str.substring(3, 8));
    }
 }

Output: "lo Wo"

From 3 to 7 index.

Also there is another kind of substring() method:

public String substring(int beginIndex)

beginIndex—the begin index, inclusive. Returns a sub string starting from beginIndex to the end of the main String.

Example:

public class Test {

    public static void main(String args[]) {
        String Str = new String("Hello World");

        System.out.println(Str.substring(3));
    }
}

Output: "lo World"

From 3 to the last index.

C# Inserting Data from a form into an access Database

This answer will help in case, If you are working with Data Bases then mostly take the help of try-catch block statement, which will help and guide you with your code. Here i am showing you that how to insert some values in Data Base with a Button Click Event.

Regular expression that doesn't contain certain string

I'm not sure it's a standard construct, but I think you should have a look on "negative lookahead" (which writes : "?!", without the quotes). It's far easier than all answers in this thread, including the accepted one.

Example : Regex : "^(?!123)[0-9]*\w" Captures any string beginning by digits followed by letters, UNLESS if "these digits" are 123.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/az24scfc%28v=vs.110%29.aspx#grouping_constructs (microsoft page, but quite comprehensive) for lookahead / lookbehind

PS : it works well for me (.Net). But if I'm wrong on something, please let us know. I find this construct very simple and effective, so I'm surprised of the accepted answer.

Regular expressions in C: examples?

man regex.h reports there is no manual entry for regex.h, but man 3 regex gives you a page explaining the POSIX functions for pattern matching.
The same functions are described in The GNU C Library: Regular Expression Matching, which explains that the GNU C Library supports both the POSIX.2 interface and the interface the GNU C Library has had for many years.

For example, for an hypothetical program that prints which of the strings passed as argument match the pattern passed as first argument, you could use code similar to the following one.

#include <errno.h>
#include <regex.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

void print_regerror (int errcode, size_t length, regex_t *compiled);

int
main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
  regex_t regex;
  int result;

  if (argc < 3)
    {
      // The number of passed arguments is lower than the number of
      // expected arguments.
      fputs ("Missing command line arguments\n", stderr);
      return EXIT_FAILURE;
    }

  result = regcomp (&regex, argv[1], REG_EXTENDED);
  if (result)
    {
      // Any value different from 0 means it was not possible to 
      // compile the regular expression, either for memory problems
      // or problems with the regular expression syntax.
      if (result == REG_ESPACE)
        fprintf (stderr, "%s\n", strerror(ENOMEM));
      else
        fputs ("Syntax error in the regular expression passed as first argument\n", stderr);
      return EXIT_FAILURE;               
    }
  for (int i = 2; i < argc; i++)
    {
      result = regexec (&regex, argv[i], 0, NULL, 0);
      if (!result)
        {
          printf ("'%s' matches the regular expression\n", argv[i]);
        }
      else if (result == REG_NOMATCH)
        {
          printf ("'%s' doesn't the regular expression\n", argv[i]);
        }
      else
        {
          // The function returned an error; print the string 
          // describing it.
          // Get the size of the buffer required for the error message.
          size_t length = regerror (result, &regex, NULL, 0);
          print_regerror (result, length, &regex);       
          return EXIT_FAILURE;
        }
    }

  /* Free the memory allocated from regcomp(). */
  regfree (&regex);
  return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

void
print_regerror (int errcode, size_t length, regex_t *compiled)
{
  char buffer[length];
  (void) regerror (errcode, compiled, buffer, length);
  fprintf(stderr, "Regex match failed: %s\n", buffer);
}

The last argument of regcomp() needs to be at least REG_EXTENDED, or the functions will use basic regular expressions, which means that (for example) you would need to use a\{3\} instead of a{3} used from extended regular expressions, which is probably what you expect to use.

POSIX.2 has also another function for wildcard matching: fnmatch(). It doesn't allow to compile the regular expression, or get the substrings matching a sub-expression, but it is very specific for checking when a filename match a wildcard (e.g. it uses the FNM_PATHNAME flag).

Why does overflow:hidden not work in a <td>?

Easiest and simplest solution that works:

table td {     
    white-space: nowrap;
    overflow: hidden;
    text-overflow: ellipsis; 
}

Failed to execute 'postMessage' on 'DOMWindow': The target origin provided does not match the recipient window's origin ('null')

In My Case, Im trying to pass messages from Salesforce Marketing Cloud Custom Activity(Domain 1) to Heroku(Domain 2) on load.

The Error Appeared in console, when I loaded my original html page from where message is being passed.

Issue I noticed after reading many blogs is that, the receiver page is not loaded yet. i.e

I need to debug from my receiver page not from sender page.

Simple but glad if it helps anyone.

How do I use T-SQL's Case/When?

As soon as a WHEN statement is true the break is implicit.

You will have to concider which WHEN Expression is the most likely to happen. If you put that WHEN at the end of a long list of WHEN statements, your sql is likely to be slower. So put it up front as the first.

More information here: break in case statement in T-SQL

Java word count program

To count specified words only like John, John99, John_John and John's only. Change regex according to yourself and count the specified words only.

    public static int wordCount(String content) {
        int count = 0;
        String regex = "([a-zA-Z_’][0-9]*)+[\\s]*";     
        Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(regex);
        Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(content);
        while(matcher.find()) {
            count++;
            System.out.println(matcher.group().trim()); //If want to display the matched words
        }
        return count;
    }

Android Studio installation on Windows 7 fails, no JDK found

I had the same issue. I am having 64 bit windows 8. I downloaded the android studio which worked on 32 bit machine but not on my 64 bit.

The solution for me was pretty simple. I navigated to

C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-studio\bin

there I saw 2 exe files studio.exe and studio64.exe. Normally in my start menu was pointing to studio64.exe which alwasys kept on giving me "The enviournmental variable JDK_HOME does not point to valid JVM". So then I clicked studio.exe and it worked :)

I hope this may help someone facing same problem like me

Binary Data Posting with curl

You don't need --header "Content-Length: $LENGTH".

curl --request POST --data-binary "@template_entry.xml" $URL

Note that GET request does not support content body widely.

Also remember that POST request have 2 different coding schema. This is first form:

  $ nc -l -p 6666 &
  $ curl  --request POST --data-binary "@README" http://localhost:6666

POST / HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: curl/7.21.0 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.21.0 OpenSSL/0.9.8o zlib/1.2.3.4 libidn/1.15 libssh2/1.2.6
Host: localhost:6666
Accept: */*
Content-Length: 9309
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Expect: 100-continue

.. -*- mode: rst; coding: cp1251; fill-column: 80 -*-
.. rst2html.py README README.html
.. contents::

You probably request this:

-F/--form name=content
           (HTTP) This lets curl emulate a filled-in form in
              which a user has pressed the submit button. This
              causes curl to POST data using the Content- Type
              multipart/form-data according to RFC2388. This
              enables uploading of binary files etc. To force the
              'content' part to be a file, prefix the file name
              with an @ sign. To just get the content part from a
              file, prefix the file name with the symbol <. The
              difference between @ and < is then that @ makes a
              file get attached in the post as a file upload,
              while the < makes a text field and just get the
              contents for that text field from a file.

How to determine if a number is positive or negative?

Write it using the conditional then take a look at the assembly code generated.

Is either GET or POST more secure than the other?

Even if POST gives no real security benefit versus GET, for login forms or any other form with relatively sensitive information, make sure you are using POST as:

  1. The information POSTed will not be saved in the user's history.
  2. The sensitive information (password, etc.) sent in the form will not be visible later on in the URL bar (by using GET, it will be visible in the history and the URL bar).

Also, GET has a theorical limit of data. POST doesn't.

For real sensitive info, make sure to use SSL (HTTPS)

How to add a custom button to the toolbar that calls a JavaScript function?

In case anybody is interested, I wrote a solution for this using Prototype. In order to get the button to appear correctly, I had to specify extraPlugins: 'ajaxsave' from inside the CKEDITOR.replace() method call.

Here is the plugin.js:

CKEDITOR.plugins.add('ajaxsave',
{
    init: function(editor)
    {
    var pluginName = 'ajaxsave';

    editor.addCommand( pluginName,
    {
        exec : function( editor )
        {
            new Ajax.Request('ajaxsave.php',
            {
                method:     "POST",
                parameters: { filename: 'index.html', editor: editor.getData() },
                onFailure:  function() { ThrowError("Error: The server has returned an unknown error"); },
                on0:        function() { ThrowError('Error: The server is not responding. Please try again.'); },
                onSuccess:  function(transport) {

                    var resp = transport.responseText;

                    //Successful processing by ckprocess.php should return simply 'OK'. 
                    if(resp == "OK") {
                        //This is a custom function I wrote to display messages. Nicer than alert() 
                        ShowPageMessage('Changes have been saved successfully!');
                    } else {
                        ShowPageMessage(resp,'10');
                    }
                }
            });
        },

        canUndo : true
    });

    editor.ui.addButton('ajaxsave',
    {
        label: 'Save',
        command: pluginName,
        className : 'cke_button_save'
    });
    }
});

Passing an integer by reference in Python

The correct answer, is to use a class and put the value inside the class, this lets you pass by reference exactly as you desire.

class Thing:
  def __init__(self,a):
    self.a = a
def dosomething(ref)
  ref.a += 1

t = Thing(3)
dosomething(t)
print("T is now",t.a)

How to get content body from a httpclient call?

The way you are using await/async is poor at best, and it makes it hard to follow. You are mixing await with Task'1.Result, which is just confusing. However, it looks like you are looking at a final task result, rather than the contents.

I've rewritten your function and function call, which should fix your issue:

async Task<string> GetResponseString(string text)
{
    var httpClient = new HttpClient();

    var parameters = new Dictionary<string, string>();
    parameters["text"] = text;

    var response = await httpClient.PostAsync(BaseUri, new FormUrlEncodedContent(parameters));
    var contents = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();

    return contents;
}

And your final function call:

Task<string> result = GetResponseString(text);
var finalResult = result.Result;

Or even better:

var finalResult = await GetResponseString(text);

Increase max_execution_time in PHP?

Theres a setting max_input_time (on Apache) for many webservers that defines how long they will wait for post data, regardless of the size. If this time runs out the connection is closed without even touching the php.

So your problem is not necessarily solvable with php only but you will need to change the server settings too.

Invoke a second script with arguments from a script

Here's an answer covering the more general question of calling another PS script from a PS script, as you may do if you were composing your scripts of many little, narrow-purpose scripts.

I found it was simply a case of using dot-sourcing. That is, you just do:

# This is Script-A.ps1

. ./Script-B.ps1 -SomeObject $variableFromScriptA -SomeOtherParam 1234;

I found all the Q/A very confusing and complicated and eventually landed upon the simple method above, which is really just like calling another script as if it was a function in the original script, which I seem to find more intuitive.

Dot-sourcing can "import" the other script in its entirety, using:

. ./Script-B.ps1

It's now as if the two files are merged.

Ultimately, what I was really missing is the notion that I should be building a module of reusable functions.

Group query results by month and year in postgresql

Take a look at example E of this tutorial -> https://www.postgresqltutorial.com/postgresql-group-by/

You need to call the function on your GROUP BY instead of calling the name of the virtual attribute you created on select. I was doing what all the answers above recommended and I was getting a column 'year_month' does not exist error.

What worked for me was:

SELECT 
    date_trunc('month', created_at), 'MM/YYYY' AS month
FROM 
    "orders"  
GROUP BY 
    date_trunc('month', created_at)

html - table row like a link

This saves you having to duplicate the link in the tr - just fish it out of the first a.

$(".link-first-found").click(function() {
 var href;
href = $(this).find("a").attr("href");
if (href !== "") {
return document.location = href;
}
});

What do the python file extensions, .pyc .pyd .pyo stand for?

  1. .py: This is normally the input source code that you've written.
  2. .pyc: This is the compiled bytecode. If you import a module, python will build a *.pyc file that contains the bytecode to make importing it again later easier (and faster).
  3. .pyo: This was a file format used before Python 3.5 for *.pyc files that were created with optimizations (-O) flag. (see the note below)
  4. .pyd: This is basically a windows dll file. http://docs.python.org/faq/windows.html#is-a-pyd-file-the-same-as-a-dll

Also for some further discussion on .pyc vs .pyo, take a look at: http://www.network-theory.co.uk/docs/pytut/CompiledPythonfiles.html (I've copied the important part below)

  • When the Python interpreter is invoked with the -O flag, optimized code is generated and stored in ‘.pyo’ files. The optimizer currently doesn't help much; it only removes assert statements. When -O is used, all bytecode is optimized; .pyc files are ignored and .py files are compiled to optimized bytecode.
  • Passing two -O flags to the Python interpreter (-OO) will cause the bytecode compiler to perform optimizations that could in some rare cases result in malfunctioning programs. Currently only __doc__ strings are removed from the bytecode, resulting in more compact ‘.pyo’ files. Since some programs may rely on having these available, you should only use this option if you know what you're doing.
  • A program doesn't run any faster when it is read from a ‘.pyc’ or ‘.pyo’ file than when it is read from a ‘.py’ file; the only thing that's faster about ‘.pyc’ or ‘.pyo’ files is the speed with which they are loaded.
  • When a script is run by giving its name on the command line, the bytecode for the script is never written to a ‘.pyc’ or ‘.pyo’ file. Thus, the startup time of a script may be reduced by moving most of its code to a module and having a small bootstrap script that imports that module. It is also possible to name a ‘.pyc’ or ‘.pyo’ file directly on the command line.

Note:

On 2015-09-15 the Python 3.5 release implemented PEP-488 and eliminated .pyo files. This means that .pyc files represent both unoptimized and optimized bytecode.

blur() vs. onblur()

Contrary to what pointy says, the blur() method does exist and is a part of the w3c standard. The following exaple will work in every modern browser (including IE):

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Javascript test</title>
        <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
            window.onload = function()
            {
                var field = document.getElementById("field");
                var link = document.getElementById("link");
                var output = document.getElementById("output");

                field.onfocus = function() { output.innerHTML += "<br/>field.onfocus()"; };
                field.onblur = function() { output.innerHTML += "<br/>field.onblur()"; };
                link.onmouseover = function() { field.blur(); };
            };
        </script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <form name="MyForm">
            <input type="text" name="field" id="field" />
            <a href="javascript:void(0);" id="link">Blur field on hover</a>
            <div id="output"></div>
        </form>
    </body>
</html>

Note that I used link.onmouseover instead of link.onclick, because otherwise the click itself would have removed the focus.

List of enum values in java

tl;dr

Can you make and edit a collection of objects from an enum? Yes.

If you do not care about the order, use EnumSet, an implementation of Set.

enum Animal{ DOG , CAT , BIRD , BAT ; }

Set<Animal> flyingAnimals = EnumSet.of( BIRD , BAT );

Set<Animal> featheredFlyingAnimals = flyingAnimals.clone().remove( BAT ) ;

If you care about order, use a List implementation such as ArrayList. For example, we can create a list of a person’s preference in choosing a pet, in the order of their most preferred.

List< Animal > favoritePets = new ArrayList<>() ;
favoritePets.add( CAT ) ;  // This person prefers cats over dogs…
favoritePets.add( DOG ) ;  // …but would accept either.
                           // This person would not accept a bird nor a bat.

For a non-modifiable ordered list, use List.of.

List< Animal > favoritePets = List.of( CAT , DOG ) ;  // This person prefers cats over dogs, but would accept either. This person would not accept a bird nor a bat. 

Details

The Answer (EnumSet) by Amit Deshpande and the Answer (.values) by Marko Topolnik are both correct. Here is a bit more info.

Enum.values

The .values() method is an implicitly declared method on Enum, added by the compiler. It produces a crude array rather than a Collection. Certainly usable.

Special note about documentation: Being unusual as an implicitly declared method, the .values() method is not listed among the methods on the Enum class. The method is defined in the Java Language Specification, and is mentioned in the doc for Enum.valueOf.

EnumSet – Fast & Small

The upsides to EnumSet include:

  • Extreme speed.
  • Compact use of memory.

To quote the class doc:

Enum sets are represented internally as bit vectors. This representation is extremely compact and efficient. The space and time performance of this class should be good enough to allow its use as a high-quality, typesafe alternative to traditional int-based "bit flags." Even bulk operations (such as containsAll and retainAll) should run very quickly if their argument is also an enum set.

Given this enum:

enum Animal
{
    DOG , CAT , BIRD , BAT ;
}

Make an EnumSet in one line.

Set<Animal> allAnimals = EnumSet.allOf( Animal.class );

Dump to console.

System.out.println( "allAnimals : " + allAnimals );

allAnimals : [DOG, CAT, BIRD, BAT]

Make a set from a subset of the enum objects.

Set<Animal> flyingAnimals = EnumSet.of( BIRD , BAT );

Look at the class doc to see many ways to manipulate the collection including adding or removing elements.

Set<Animal> featheredFlyingAnimals = 
    EnumSet.copyOf( flyingAnimals ).remove( BAT );

Natural Order

The doc promises the Iterator for EnumSet is in natural order, the order in which the values of the enum were originally declared.

To quote the class doc:

The iterator returned by the iterator method traverses the elements in their natural order (the order in which the enum constants are declared).

Frankly, given this promise, I'm confused why this is not a SortedSet. But, oh well, good enough. We can create a List from the Set if desired. Pass any Collection to constructor of ArrayList and that collection’s Iterator is automatically called on your behalf.

List<Animal> list = new ArrayList<>( allAnimals );

Dump to console.

System.out.println("list : " + list );

When run.

list : [DOG, CAT, BIRD, BAT]

In Java 10 and later, you can conveniently create a non-modifiable List by passing the EnumSet. The order of the new list will be in the iterator order of the EnumSet. The iterator order of an EnumSet is the order in which the element objects of the enum were defined on that enum.

List< Animal > nonModList = List.copyOf( allAnimals ) ;  // Or pass Animals.values() 

Connecting to remote URL which requires authentication using Java

I'd like to provide an answer for the case that you do not have control over the code that opens the connection. Like I did when using the URLClassLoader to load a jar file from a password protected server.

The Authenticator solution would work but has the drawback that it first tries to reach the server without a password and only after the server asks for a password provides one. That's an unnecessary roundtrip if you already know the server would need a password.

public class MyStreamHandlerFactory implements URLStreamHandlerFactory {

    private final ServerInfo serverInfo;

    public MyStreamHandlerFactory(ServerInfo serverInfo) {
        this.serverInfo = serverInfo;
    }

    @Override
    public URLStreamHandler createURLStreamHandler(String protocol) {
        switch (protocol) {
            case "my":
                return new MyStreamHandler(serverInfo);
            default:
                return null;
        }
    }

}

public class MyStreamHandler extends URLStreamHandler {

    private final String encodedCredentials;

    public MyStreamHandler(ServerInfo serverInfo) {
        String strCredentials = serverInfo.getUsername() + ":" + serverInfo.getPassword();
        this.encodedCredentials = Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(strCredentials.getBytes());
    }

    @Override
    protected URLConnection openConnection(URL url) throws IOException {
        String authority = url.getAuthority();
        String protocol = "http";
        URL directUrl = new URL(protocol, url.getHost(), url.getPort(), url.getFile());

        HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) directUrl.openConnection();
        connection.setRequestProperty("Authorization", "Basic " + encodedCredentials);

        return connection;
    }

}

This registers a new protocol my that is replaced by http when credentials are added. So when creating the new URLClassLoader just replace http with my and everything is fine. I know URLClassLoader provides a constructor that takes an URLStreamHandlerFactory but this factory is not used if the URL points to a jar file.

How to check if DST (Daylight Saving Time) is in effect, and if so, the offset?

This code uses the fact that getTimezoneOffset returns a greater value during Standard Time versus Daylight Saving Time (DST). Thus it determines the expected output during Standard Time, and it compares whether the output of the given date the same (Standard) or less (DST).

Note that getTimezoneOffset returns positive numbers of minutes for zones west of UTC, which are usually stated as negative hours (since they're "behind" UTC). For example, Los Angeles is UTC–8h Standard, UTC-7h DST. getTimezoneOffset returns 480 (positive 480 minutes) in December (winter, Standard Time), rather than -480. It returns negative numbers for the Eastern Hemisphere (such -600 for Sydney in winter, despite this being "ahead" (UTC+10h).

Date.prototype.stdTimezoneOffset = function () {
    var jan = new Date(this.getFullYear(), 0, 1);
    var jul = new Date(this.getFullYear(), 6, 1);
    return Math.max(jan.getTimezoneOffset(), jul.getTimezoneOffset());
}

Date.prototype.isDstObserved = function () {
    return this.getTimezoneOffset() < this.stdTimezoneOffset();
}

var today = new Date();
if (today.isDstObserved()) { 
    alert ("Daylight saving time!");
}

R ggplot2: stat_count() must not be used with a y aesthetic error in Bar graph

You can use geom_col() directly. See the differences between geom_bar() and geom_col() in this link https://ggplot2.tidyverse.org/reference/geom_bar.html

geom_bar() makes the height of the bar proportional to the number of cases in each group If you want the heights of the bars to represent values in the data, use geom_col() instead.

ggplot(data_country)+aes(x=country,y = conversion_rate)+geom_col()

How to do a redirect to another route with react-router?

For the simple answer, you can use Link component from react-router, instead of button. There is ways to change the route in JS, but seems you don't need that here.

  <Link to="/login" />Click to login</Link>
</span>

To do it programmatically in 1.0.x, you do like this, inside your clickHandler function:

this.history.pushState(null, 'login');

Taken from upgrade doc here

You should have this.history placed on your route handler component by react-router. If it child component beneath that mentioned in routes definition, you may need pass that down further

How to get current user who's accessing an ASP.NET application?

Best way to check if a URL is valid

Using filter_var() will fail for urls with non-ascii chars, e.g. (http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guimarães). The following function encode all non-ascii chars (e.g. http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guimar%C3%A3es) before calling filter_var().

Hope this helps someone.

<?php

function validate_url($url) {
    $path = parse_url($url, PHP_URL_PATH);
    $encoded_path = array_map('urlencode', explode('/', $path));
    $url = str_replace($path, implode('/', $encoded_path), $url);

    return filter_var($url, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL) ? true : false;
}

// example
if(!validate_url("http://somedomain.com/some/path/file1.jpg")) {
    echo "NOT A URL";
}
else {
    echo "IS A URL";
}

How to add multiple files to Git at the same time

Simply use single quotations around each file name to ensure any with spaces work as expected

git add 'file1' 'file2' 'file3' 

Getting unix timestamp from Date()

getTime() retrieves the milliseconds since Jan 1, 1970 GMT passed to the constructor. It should not be too hard to get the Unix time (same, but in seconds) from that.

javascript, for loop defines a dynamic variable name

I think you could do it by creating parameters in an object maybe?

var myObject = {}; for(var i=0;i<myArray.length;i++) {     myObject[ myArray[i] ]; } 

If you don't set them to anything, you'll just have an object with some parameters that are undefined. I'd have to write this myself to be sure though.

C# Parsing JSON array of objects

Though this is an old question, I thought I'd post my answer anyway, if that helps someone in future

 JArray array = JArray.Parse(jsonString);
 foreach (JObject obj in array.Children<JObject>())
 {
     foreach (JProperty singleProp in obj.Properties())
     {
         string name = singleProp.Name;
         string value = singleProp.Value.ToString();
         //Do something with name and value
         //System.Windows.MessageBox.Show("name is "+name+" and value is "+value);
      }
 }

This solution uses Newtonsoft library, don't forget to include using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq;

Python "string_escape" vs "unicode_escape"

According to my interpretation of the implementation of unicode-escape and the unicode repr in the CPython 2.6.5 source, yes; the only difference between repr(unicode_string) and unicode_string.encode('unicode-escape') is the inclusion of wrapping quotes and escaping whichever quote was used.

They are both driven by the same function, unicodeescape_string. This function takes a parameter whose sole function is to toggle the addition of the wrapping quotes and escaping of that quote.

Java Project: Failed to load ApplicationContext

Looks like you are using maven (src/main/java). In this case put the applicationContext.xml file in the src/main/resources directory. It will be copied in the classpath directory and you should be able to access it with

@ContextConfiguration("/applicationContext.xml")

From the Spring-Documentation: A plain path, for example "context.xml", will be treated as a classpath resource from the same package in which the test class is defined. A path starting with a slash is treated as a fully qualified classpath location, for example "/org/example/config.xml".

So it's important that you add the slash when referencing the file in the root directory of the classpath.

If you work with the absolute file path you have to use 'file:C:...' (if I understand the documentation correctly).

Safe navigation operator (?.) or (!.) and null property paths

Update:

Planned in the scope of 3.7 release
https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/33352


You can try to write a custom function like that.

The main advantage of the approach is a type-checking and partial intellisense.

export function nullSafe<T, 
    K0 extends keyof T, 
    K1 extends keyof T[K0],
    K2 extends keyof T[K0][K1],
    K3 extends keyof T[K0][K1][K2],
    K4 extends keyof T[K0][K1][K2][K3],
    K5 extends keyof T[K0][K1][K2][K3][K4]>
    (obj: T, k0: K0, k1?: K1, k2?: K2, k3?: K3, k4?: K4, k5?: K5) {
    let result: any = obj;

    const keysCount = arguments.length - 1;
    for (var i = 1; i <= keysCount; i++) {
        if (result === null || result === undefined) return result;
        result = result[arguments[i]];
    }

    return result;
}

And usage (supports up to 5 parameters and can be extended):

nullSafe(a, 'b', 'c');

Example on playground.

Python: How to increase/reduce the fontsize of x and y tick labels?

You can set the fontsize directly in the call to set_xticklabels and set_yticklabels (as noted in previous answers). This will only affect one Axes at a time.

ax.set_xticklabels(x_ticks, rotation=0, fontsize=8)
ax.set_yticklabels(y_ticks, rotation=0, fontsize=8)

You can also set the ticklabel font size globally (i.e. for all figures/subplots in a script) using rcParams:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.rc('xtick',labelsize=8)
plt.rc('ytick',labelsize=8)

Or, equivalently:

plt.rcParams['xtick.labelsize']=8
plt.rcParams['ytick.labelsize']=8

Finally, if this is a setting that you would like to be set for all your matplotlib plots, you could also set these two rcParams in your matplotlibrc file:

xtick.labelsize      : 8 # fontsize of the x tick labels
ytick.labelsize      : 8 # fontsize of the y tick labels

How can I check if a user is logged-in in php?

Logins are not too complicated, but there are some specific pieces that almost all login processes need.

First, make sure you enable the session variable on all pages that require knowledge of logged-in status by putting this at the beginning of those pages:

session_start();

Next, when the user submits their username and password via the login form, you will typically check their username and password by querying a database containing username and password information, such as MySQL. If the database returns a match, you can then set a session variable to contain that fact. You might also want to include other information:

if (match_found_in_database()) {
    $_SESSION['loggedin'] = true;
    $_SESSION['username'] = $username; // $username coming from the form, such as $_POST['username']
                                       // something like this is optional, of course
}

Then, on the page that depends on logged-in status, put the following (don't forget the session_start()):

if (isset($_SESSION['loggedin']) && $_SESSION['loggedin'] == true) {
    echo "Welcome to the member's area, " . $_SESSION['username'] . "!";
} else {
    echo "Please log in first to see this page.";
}

Those are the basic components. If you need help with the SQL aspect, there are tutorials-a-plenty around the net.

Edit and replay XHR chrome/firefox etc?

My two suggestions:

  1. Chrome's Postman plugin + the Postman Interceptor Plugin. More Info: Postman Capturing Requests Docs

  2. If you're on Windows then Telerik's Fiddler is an option. It has a composer option to replay http requests, and it's free.

How can I send emails through SSL SMTP with the .NET Framework?

It works with System.Web.Mail (which is marked as obsolete):

private const string SMTP_SERVER        = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserver";
private const string SMTP_SERVER_PORT   = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpserverport";
private const string SEND_USING         = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusing";
private const string SMTP_USE_SSL       = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpusessl";
private const string SMTP_AUTHENTICATE  = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate";
private const string SEND_USERNAME      = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendusername";
private const string SEND_PASSWORD      = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/sendpassword";

System.Web.Mail.MailMessage mail = new System.Web.Mail.MailMessage();

mail.Fields[SMTP_SERVER] = "tempurl.org";
mail.Fields[SMTP_SERVER_PORT] = 465;
mail.Fields[SEND_USING] = 2;
mail.Fields[SMTP_USE_SSL] = true;
mail.Fields[SMTP_AUTHENTICATE] = 1;
mail.Fields[SEND_USERNAME] = "username";
mail.Fields[SEND_PASSWORD] = "password";

System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.Send(mail);

What is your point of view regarding obsolete namespace usage?

Check if TextBox is empty and return MessageBox?

Use something such as the following:

if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(MaterialTextBox.Text)) 

Get index of a key/value pair in a C# dictionary based on the value

Let's say you have a Dictionary called fooDictionary

fooDictionary.Values.ToList().IndexOf(someValue);

Values.ToList() converts your dictionary values into a List of someValue objects.

IndexOf(someValue) searches your new List looking for the someValue object in question and returns the Index which would match the index of the Key/Value pair in the dictionary.

This method does not care about the dictionary keys, it simply returns the index of the value that you are looking for.

This does not however account for the issue that there may be several matching "someValue" objects.

Joining pandas dataframes by column names

you can use the left_on and right_on options as follows:

pd.merge(frame_1, frame_2, left_on='county_ID', right_on='countyid')

I was not sure from the question if you only wanted to merge if the key was in the left hand dataframe. If that is the case then the following will do that (the above will in effect do a many to many merge)

pd.merge(frame_1, frame_2, how='left', left_on='county_ID', right_on='countyid')

Combating AngularJS executing controller twice

In my case, I found two views using the same controller.

$stateProvider.state('app', {
  url: '',
  views: {
    "viewOne@app": {
      controller: 'CtrlOne as CtrlOne',
      templateUrl: 'main/one.tpl.html'
    },
    "viewTwo@app": {
      controller: 'CtrlOne as CtrlOne',
      templateUrl: 'main/two.tpl.html'
    }
  }
});

How can I specify a display?

I through vnc to understand the X11 more. To specify the display to get a many-displayed program, export DISPLAY=IP:DisplayNum.ScreenNum

For example,

vncserver :2
vncserver -list
echo '$DISPLAY'=$DISPLAY 
export DISPLAY=:2  # export DISPLAY=IP:DisplayNum or export DISPLAY=:DisplayNum for localhost; So that can vnc connect and see the vnc desktop :2 if $DISPLAY is not :2.
echo '$DISPLAY'=$DISPLAY

How do I hide anchor text without hiding the anchor?

You can put an image into ::before pseudoelement and set the same dimensions for as is the image + add overflow:hidden, like:

li a::before{
  content:url('img');
  width:20px;
  height:10px
}

a {
  overflow:hidden;
  width:20px;
  height:10px
}

What does -> mean in Python function definitions?

It's a function annotation.

In more detail, Python 2.x has docstrings, which allow you to attach a metadata string to various types of object. This is amazingly handy, so Python 3 extends the feature by allowing you to attach metadata to functions describing their parameters and return values.

There's no preconceived use case, but the PEP suggests several. One very handy one is to allow you to annotate parameters with their expected types; it would then be easy to write a decorator that verifies the annotations or coerces the arguments to the right type. Another is to allow parameter-specific documentation instead of encoding it into the docstring.

Set selected item of spinner programmatically

Here is the Kotlin extension I am using:

fun Spinner.setItem(list: Array<CharSequence>, value: String) {
    val index = list.indexOf(value)
    this.post { this.setSelection(index) }
}

Usage:

spinnerPressure.setItem(resources.getTextArray(R.array.array_pressure), pressureUnit)

How to execute XPath one-liners from shell?

My Python script xgrep.py does exactly this. In order to search for all attributes attribute of elements element in files filename.xml ..., you would run it as follows:

xgrep.py "//element/@attribute" filename.xml ...

There are various switches for controlling the output, such as -c for counting matches, -i for indenting the matching parts, and -l for outputting filenames only.

The script is not available as a Debian or Ubuntu package, but all of its dependencies are.

How to commit my current changes to a different branch in Git

And provide your commit message.

Download and install an ipa from self hosted url on iOS

It won't be possible if you like to directly download and install the app from your website. There is a different way for enterprise to deploy and install app over the air. Your URL should point to a web service that hosts a manifest plist file in predefined format required by Apple. This service should return the url of manifest file which can then be used as below:

NSString *urlString = // url string where your manifest.plist is deployed on your server.
NSURL *installationURL = [NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=%@",[urlString stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]]];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL];

Hope this answers your question.

Typescript - multidimensional array initialization

You can do the following (which I find trivial, but its actually correct). For anyone trying to find how to initialize a two-dimensional array in TypeScript (like myself).

Let's assume that you want to initialize a two-dimensional array, of any type. You can do the following

const myArray: any[][] = [];

And later, when you want to populate it, you can do the following:

myArray.push([<your value goes here>]);

A short example of the above can be the following:

const myArray: string[][] = [];
myArray.push(["value1", "value2"]);

Angular-Material DateTime Picker Component?

Angular Material 10 now includes a new date range picker.

To use the new date range picker, you can use the mat-date-range-input and mat-date-range-picker components.

Example

HTML

<mat-form-field>
  <mat-label>Enter a date range</mat-label>
  <mat-date-range-input [rangePicker]="picker">
    <input matStartDate matInput placeholder="Start date">
    <input matEndDate matInput placeholder="End date">
  </mat-date-range-input>
  <mat-datepicker-toggle matSuffix [for]="picker"></mat-datepicker-toggle>
  <mat-date-range-picker #picker></mat-date-range-picker>
</mat-form-field>

You can read and learn more about this in their official documentation.

Unfortunately, they still haven't build a timepicker on this release.

Can you have if-then-else logic in SQL?

there is a case statement, but i think the below is more accurate/efficient/easier to read for what you want.

select 
  product
  ,coalesce(t4.price,t2.price, t3.price) as price
from table1 t1
left join table1 t2 on t1.product = t2.product and t2.customer =2
left join table1 t3 on t1.product = t3.product and t3.company =3
left join table1 t4 on t1.product = t4.product and t4.project =1

How do I read input character-by-character in Java?

You have several options if you use BufferedReader. This buffered reader is faster than Reader so you can wrap it.

BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(path));
reader.read(char[] buffer);

this reads line into char array. You have similar options. Look at documentation.

How do I determine if my python shell is executing in 32bit or 64bit?

struct.calcsize("P") returns size of the bytes required to store a single pointer. On a 32-bit system, it would return 4 bytes. On a 64-bit system, it would return 8 bytes.

So the following would return 32 if you're running 32-bit python and 64 if you're running 64-bit python:

Python 2

import struct;print struct.calcsize("P") * 8

Python 3

import struct;print(struct.calcsize("P") * 8)
