Calculating a 2D Vector's Cross Product

In short: It's a shorthand notation for a mathematical hack.

Long explanation:

You can't do a cross product with vectors in 2D space. The operation is not defined there.

However, often it is interesting to evaluate the cross product of two vectors assuming that the 2D vectors are extended to 3D by setting their z-coordinate to zero. This is the same as working with 3D vectors on the xy-plane.

If you extend the vectors that way and calculate the cross product of such an extended vector pair you'll notice that only the z-component has a meaningful value: x and y will always be zero.

That's the reason why the z-component of the result is often simply returned as a scalar. This scalar can for example be used to find the winding of three points in 2D space.

From a pure mathematical point of view the cross product in 2D space does not exist, the scalar version is the hack and a 2D cross product that returns a 2D vector makes no sense at all.

How to limit the maximum value of a numeric field in a Django model?

You can use Django's built-in validators

from django.db.models import IntegerField, Model
from django.core.validators import MaxValueValidator, MinValueValidator

class CoolModelBro(Model):
    limited_integer_field = IntegerField(
        default=1,
        validators=[
            MaxValueValidator(100),
            MinValueValidator(1)
        ]
     )

Edit: When working directly with the model, make sure to call the model full_clean method before saving the model in order to trigger the validators. This is not required when using ModelForm since the forms will do that automatically.

How do I get an object's unqualified (short) class name?

I found myself in a unique situation where instanceof could not be used (specifically namespaced traits) and I needed the short name in the most efficient way possible so I've done a little benchmark of my own. It includes all the different methods & variations from the answers in this question.

$bench = new \xori\Benchmark(1000, 1000);     # https://github.com/Xorifelse/php-benchmark-closure
$shell = new \my\fancy\namespace\classname(); # Just an empty class named `classname` defined in the `\my\fancy\namespace\` namespace

$bench->register('strrpos', (function(){
    return substr(static::class, strrpos(static::class, '\\') + 1);
})->bindTo($shell));

$bench->register('safe strrpos', (function(){
    return substr(static::class, ($p = strrpos(static::class, '\\')) !== false ? $p + 1 : 0);
})->bindTo($shell));

$bench->register('strrchr', (function(){
    return substr(strrchr(static::class, '\\'), 1);
})->bindTo($shell));

$bench->register('reflection', (function(){
    return (new \ReflectionClass($this))->getShortName();
})->bindTo($shell));

$bench->register('reflection 2', (function($obj){
    return $obj->getShortName();
})->bindTo($shell), new \ReflectionClass($shell));

$bench->register('basename', (function(){
    return basename(str_replace('\\', '/', static::class));
})->bindTo($shell));

$bench->register('explode', (function(){
    $e = explode("\\", static::class);
    return end($e);
})->bindTo($shell));

$bench->register('slice', (function(){
    return join('',array_slice(explode('\\', static::class), -1));
})->bindTo($shell));    

print_r($bench->start());

A list of the of the entire result is here but here are the highlights:

  • If you're going to use reflection anyways, using $obj->getShortName() is the fastest method however; using reflection only to get the short name it is almost the slowest method.
  • 'strrpos' can return a wrong value if the object is not in a namespace so while 'safe strrpos' is a tiny bit slower I would say this is the winner.
  • To make 'basename' compatible between Linux and Windows you need to use str_replace() which makes this method the slowest of them all.

A simplified table of results, speed is measured compared to the slowest method:

+-----------------+--------+
| registered name | speed  |
+-----------------+--------+
| reflection 2    | 70.75% |
| strrpos         | 60.38% |
| safe strrpos    | 57.69% |
| strrchr         | 54.88% |
| explode         | 46.60% |
| slice           | 37.02% |
| reflection      | 16.75% |
| basename        | 0.00%  |

How to know/change current directory in Python shell?

you want

Are querystring parameters secure in HTTPS (HTTP + SSL)?

I disagree with the advice given here - even the reference for the accepted answer concludes:

You can of course use query string parameters with HTTPS, but don’t use them for anything that could present a security problem. For example, you could safely use them to identity part numbers or types of display like ‘accountview’ or ‘printpage’, but don’t use them for passwords, credit card numbers or other pieces of information that should not be publicly available.

So, no they aren't really safe...!

Zip lists in Python

zip creates a new list, filled with tuples containing elements from the iterable arguments:

>>> zip ([1,2],[3,4])
[(1,3), (2,4)]

I expect what you try to so is create a tuple where each element is a list.

How to handle the `onKeyPress` event in ReactJS?

For me onKeyPress the e.keyCode is always 0, but e.charCode has correct value. If used onKeyDown the correct code in e.charCode.

var Title = React.createClass({
    handleTest: function(e) {
      if (e.charCode == 13) {
        alert('Enter... (KeyPress, use charCode)');
      }
      if (e.keyCode == 13) {
        alert('Enter... (KeyDown, use keyCode)');
      }
    },
    render: function() {
      return(
        <div>
          <textarea onKeyPress={this.handleTest} />
        </div>
      );
    }
  });

Is Secure.ANDROID_ID unique for each device?

I've read a few things about this and unfortunately the ANDROID_ID should not be relied on for uniquely identifying an individual device.

It doesn't seem to be enforced in Android compliance requirements and so manufacturers seem to implement it the way they choose including some using it more as a 'model' ID etc.

Also, be aware that even if a manufacturer has written a generator to make it a UUID (for example), it's not guaranteed to survive a factory reset.

R data formats: RData, Rda, Rds etc

In addition to @KenM's answer, another important distinction is that, when loading in a saved object, you can assign the contents of an Rds file. Not so for Rda

> x <- 1:5
> save(x, file="x.Rda")
> saveRDS(x, file="x.Rds")
> rm(x)

## ASSIGN USING readRDS
> new_x1 <- readRDS("x.Rds")
> new_x1
[1] 1 2 3 4 5

## 'ASSIGN' USING load -- note the result
> new_x2 <- load("x.Rda")
loading in to  <environment: R_GlobalEnv> 
> new_x2
[1] "x"
# NOTE: `load()` simply returns the name of the objects loaded. Not the values. 
> x
[1] 1 2 3 4 5

PDO's query vs execute

query runs a standard SQL statement and requires you to properly escape all data to avoid SQL Injections and other issues.

execute runs a prepared statement which allows you to bind parameters to avoid the need to escape or quote the parameters. execute will also perform better if you are repeating a query multiple times. Example of prepared statements:

$sth = $dbh->prepare('SELECT name, colour, calories FROM fruit
    WHERE calories < :calories AND colour = :colour');
$sth->bindParam(':calories', $calories);
$sth->bindParam(':colour', $colour);
$sth->execute();
// $calories or $color do not need to be escaped or quoted since the
//    data is separated from the query

Best practice is to stick with prepared statements and execute for increased security.

See also: Are PDO prepared statements sufficient to prevent SQL injection?

JAVA How to remove trailing zeros from a double

You should use DecimalFormat("0.#")


For 4.3000

Double price = 4.3000;
DecimalFormat format = new DecimalFormat("0.#");
System.out.println(format.format(price));

output is:

4.3

In case of 5.000 we have

Double price = 5.000;
DecimalFormat format = new DecimalFormat("0.#");
System.out.println(format.format(price));

And the output is:

5

Send Message in C#

You don't need to send messages.

Add an event to the one form and an event handler to the other. Then you can use a third project which references the other two to attach the event handler to the event. The two DLLs don't need to reference each other for this to work.

Automapper missing type map configuration or unsupported mapping - Error

I created a new AutomapperProfile class. It extends Profile. We have over 100 projects in our solution. Many projects have an AutomapperProfile class, but this one was new to this existing project. However, I did find what I had to do to fix this issue for us. There is a Binding project. Within the Initialization there is this code:

var mappingConfig = new List<Action<IConfiguration>>();

// Initialize the Automapper Configuration for all Known Assemblies
mappingConfig.AddRange( new List<Action<IConfiguration>>
{
   ConfigureProfilesInAssemblyOfType<Application.Administration.AutomapperProfile>,
   //...

I had to add ConfigureProfilesInAssemblyOfType<MyNewNamespace.AutomapperProfile>

Note that ConfigureProfilesInAssemblyOfType looks like this:

    private static void ConfigureProfilesInAssemblyOfType<T>( IConfiguration configuration )
    {
        var log = LogProvider.Get( typeof (AutomapperConfiguration) );

        // The Automapper Profile Type
        var automapperProfileType = typeof (Profile);

        // The Assembly containing the type
        var assembly = typeof (T).Assembly;
        log.Debug( "Scanning " + assembly.FullName );

        // Configure any Profile classes found in the assembly containing the type.
        assembly.GetTypes()
            .Where( automapperProfileType.IsAssignableFrom ).ToList()
            .ForEach( x =>
            {
                log.Debug( "Adding Profile '" + x.FullName + "'" );
                configuration.AddProfile( Activator.CreateInstance( x ) as Profile );
            } );
    }

Excel tab sheet names vs. Visual Basic sheet names

Actually "Sheet1" object / code name can be changed. In VBA, click on Sheet1 in Excel Objects list. In the properties window, you can change Sheet1 to say rng.

Then you can reference rng as a global object without having to create a variable first. So debug.print rng.name works just fine. No more Worksheets("rng").name.

Unlike the tab, the object name has same restrictions as other variables (i.e. no spaces).

It's because you have turned on USB debugging in Developer Options. You can create a bug report by holding the power + both volume up and down.

Edit: This is what the forums say:

By pressing Volume up + Volume down + power button, you will feel a vibration after a second or so, that's when the bug reporting initiated.

To disable:

/system/bin/bugmailer.sh must be deleted/renamed.

How to get the parent dir location

Here is another relatively simple solution that:

  • does not use dirname() (which does not work as expected on one level arguments like "file.txt" or relative parents like "..")
  • does not use abspath() (avoiding any assumptions about the current working directory) but instead preserves the relative character of paths

it just uses normpath and join:

def parent(p):
    return os.path.normpath(os.path.join(p, os.path.pardir))

# Example:
for p in ['foo', 'foo/bar/baz', 'with/trailing/slash/', 
        'dir/file.txt', '../up/', '/abs/path']:
    print parent(p)

Result:

.
foo/bar
with/trailing
dir
..
/abs

Are the decimal places in a CSS width respected?

If it's a percentage width, then yes, it is respected. As Martin pointed out, things break down when you get to fractional pixels, but if your percentage values yield integer pixel value (e.g. 50.5% of 200px in the example) you'll get sensible, expected behaviour.

Edit: I've updated the example to show what happens to fractional pixels (in Chrome the values are truncated, so 50, 50.5 and 50.6 all show the same width).

Asserting successive calls to a mock method

I always have to look this one up time and time again, so here is my answer.


Asserting multiple method calls on different objects of the same class

Suppose we have a heavy duty class (which we want to mock):

In [1]: class HeavyDuty(object):
   ...:     def __init__(self):
   ...:         import time
   ...:         time.sleep(2)  # <- Spends a lot of time here
   ...:     
   ...:     def do_work(self, arg1, arg2):
   ...:         print("Called with %r and %r" % (arg1, arg2))
   ...:  

here is some code that uses two instances of the HeavyDuty class:

In [2]: def heavy_work():
   ...:     hd1 = HeavyDuty()
   ...:     hd1.do_work(13, 17)
   ...:     hd2 = HeavyDuty()
   ...:     hd2.do_work(23, 29)
   ...:    


Now, here is a test case for the heavy_work function:

In [3]: from unittest.mock import patch, call
   ...: def test_heavy_work():
   ...:     expected_calls = [call.do_work(13, 17),call.do_work(23, 29)]
   ...:     
   ...:     with patch('__main__.HeavyDuty') as MockHeavyDuty:
   ...:         heavy_work()
   ...:         MockHeavyDuty.return_value.assert_has_calls(expected_calls)
   ...:  

We are mocking the HeavyDuty class with MockHeavyDuty. To assert method calls coming from every HeavyDuty instance we have to refer to MockHeavyDuty.return_value.assert_has_calls, instead of MockHeavyDuty.assert_has_calls. In addition, in the list of expected_calls we have to specify which method name we are interested in asserting calls for. So our list is made of calls to call.do_work, as opposed to simply call.

Exercising the test case shows us it is successful:

In [4]: print(test_heavy_work())
None


If we modify the heavy_work function, the test fails and produces a helpful error message:

In [5]: def heavy_work():
   ...:     hd1 = HeavyDuty()
   ...:     hd1.do_work(113, 117)  # <- call args are different
   ...:     hd2 = HeavyDuty()
   ...:     hd2.do_work(123, 129)  # <- call args are different
   ...:     

In [6]: print(test_heavy_work())
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(traceback omitted for clarity)

AssertionError: Calls not found.
Expected: [call.do_work(13, 17), call.do_work(23, 29)]
Actual: [call.do_work(113, 117), call.do_work(123, 129)]


Asserting multiple calls to a function

To contrast with the above, here is an example that shows how to mock multiple calls to a function:

In [7]: def work_function(arg1, arg2):
   ...:     print("Called with args %r and %r" % (arg1, arg2))

In [8]: from unittest.mock import patch, call
   ...: def test_work_function():
   ...:     expected_calls = [call(13, 17), call(23, 29)]    
   ...:     with patch('__main__.work_function') as mock_work_function:
   ...:         work_function(13, 17)
   ...:         work_function(23, 29)
   ...:         mock_work_function.assert_has_calls(expected_calls)
   ...:    

In [9]: print(test_work_function())
None


There are two main differences. The first one is that when mocking a function we setup our expected calls using call, instead of using call.some_method. The second one is that we call assert_has_calls on mock_work_function, instead of on mock_work_function.return_value.

How can I select random files from a directory in bash?

This is the only script I can get to play nice with bash on MacOS. I combined and edited snippets from the following two links:

What is the difference between display: inline and display: inline-block?

One thing not mentioned in answers is inline element can break among lines while inline-block can't (and obviously block)! So inline elements can be useful to style sentences of text and blocks inside them, but as they can't be padded you can use line-height instead.

How to autosize and right-align GridViewColumn data in WPF?

If your listview is also re-sizing then you can use a behavior pattern to re-size the columns to fit the full ListView width. Almost the same as you using grid.column definitions

<ListView HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
          Behaviours:GridViewColumnResize.Enabled="True">
        <ListViewItem></ListViewItem>
        <ListView.View>
            <GridView>
                <GridViewColumn  Header="Column *"
                                   Behaviours:GridViewColumnResize.Width="*" >
                    <GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
                        <DataTemplate>
                            <TextBox HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Text="Example1" />

There's no difference, == is a synonym for = (for the C/C++ people, I assume). See here, for example.

jQuery won't parse my JSON from AJAX query

If returning an array works and returning a single object doesn't, you might also try returning your single object as an array containing that single object:

[ { title: "One", key: "1" } ]

that way you are returning a consistent data structure, an array of objects, no matter the data payload.

i see that you've tried wrapping your single object in "parenthesis", and suggest this with example because of course JavaScript treats [ .. ] differently than ( .. )

How can I add an element after another element?

First of all, input element shouldn't have a closing tag (from http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#edef-INPUT : End tag: forbidden ).

Second thing, you need the after(), not append() function.

Html.DropdownListFor selected value not being set

This is CSS issues. I don't know why @Html.DropDownListFor in Bootstrap 4 doest work. Surely this is class design problem. Anyways the work arround is, if your Dropdown input box has CSS Padding: #px, # px; element then disable it. Hope this will work.

Center a column using Twitter Bootstrap 3

To center the col- we need to use the below code. cols are floater elements besides margin auto. We will also set it to float none,

<body class="container">
    <div class="col-lg-1 col-md-4 centered">
        <img data-src="holder.js/100x100" alt="" />
    </div>
</body>

To center the above col-lg-1 with class of centered, we will write:

.centered {
    float: none;
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
}

To center the content inside the div, use text-align:center,

.centered {
    text-align: center;
}

If you want to center it only on the desktop and larger screen, not on mobile, then use the following media query.

@media (min-width: 768px) {
    .centered {
        float: none;
        margin-left: auto;
        margin-right: auto;

}

And to center the div only on mobile version, use the below code.

@media (max-width: 768px) {
    .centered {
        float: none;
        margin-left: auto;
        margin-right: auto;
    }
}

How do I set <table> border width with CSS?

Like this:

border: 1px solid black;

Why it didn't work? because:

Always declare the border-style (solid in my example) property before the border-width property. An element must have borders before you can change the color.

Sublime Text 2 keyboard shortcut to open file in specified browser (e.g. Chrome)

I'm not really sure this question is approprate here, but you can add a new "Build System" under Tools -> Build System -> New Build System...

As with all configuration in Sublime Text its just JSON, so it should be pretty straight forward. The main thing you are going to want to configure is the "cmd" key/val. Here is the build config for launching chrome on my mac.

{
    "cmd": ["open", "-a", "Google Chrome", "$file"]
}

Save that as Chrome.sublime-build, relaunch Sublime Text and you should see a new Chrome option in the build list. Select it, and then you should be able to launch Chrome with Cmd+B on a Mac (or whatever hotkey you have configured for build, maybe its F7 or Ctrl+B on a Windows machine)

At least this should give you a push in the right direction.

Edit:

Another thing I end up doing a lot in Sublime Text 2 is if you right click inside a document, one of the items in the context menu is Copy File Path, which puts the current file's full path into the clipboard for easy pasting into whatever browser you want.


Sublime Text 3 (linux example) "shell_cmd": "google-chrome '$file'"

border-radius not working

if you have parent element than your parent element must have overflow: hidden; property because if your children content is getting oveflowed from parent border than your border will be visible .otherwise your borderradius is working but it is hide by your children content.

How can I check if a string contains a character in C#?

It will be hard to work in C# without knowing how to work with strings and booleans. But anyway:

        String str = "ABC";
        if (str.Contains('A'))
        { 
            //...
        }

        if (str.Contains("AB"))
        { 
            //...
        }

PostgreSQL: insert from another table

Just supply literal values in the SELECT:

INSERT INTO TABLE1 (id, col_1, col_2, col_3)
SELECT id, 'data1', 'data2', 'data3'
FROM TABLE2
WHERE col_a = 'something';

A select list can contain any value expression:

But the expressions in the select list do not have to reference any columns in the table expression of the FROM clause; they can be constant arithmetic expressions, for instance.

And a string literal is certainly a value expression.

What is the difference between `let` and `var` in swift?

A value can be reassigned in case of var

 //Variables
 var age = 42
 println(age) //Will print 42
 age = 90
 println(age) //Will Print 90

** the newAge constant cannot be reassigned to a new value. Trying to do so will give a compile time error**

//Constants
let newAge = 92 //Declaring a constant using let
println(newAge) //Will print 92.

How to pass parameter to function using in addEventListener?

If the this value you want is the just the object that you bound the event handler to, then addEventListener() already does that for you. When you do this:

productLineSelect.addEventListener('change', getSelection, false);

the getSelection function will already be called with this set to the object that the event handler was bound to. It will also be passed an argument that represents the event object which has all sorts of object information about the event.

function getSelection(event) {
    // this will be set to the object that the event handler was bound to
    // event is all the detailed information about the event
}

If the desired this value is some other value than the object you bound the event handler to, you can just do this:

var self = this;
productLineSelect.addEventListener('change',function() {
    getSelection(self)
},false);

By way of explanation:

  1. You save away the value of this into a local variable in your other event handler.
  2. You then create an anonymous function to pass addEventListener.
  3. In that anonymous function, you call your actual function and pass it the saved value of this.

How to align two elements on the same line without changing HTML

By using display: inline-block; And more generally when you have a parent (always there is a parent except for html) use display: inline-block; for the inner elements. and to force them to stay in the same line even when the window get shrunk (contracted). Add for the parent the two property:

    white-space: nowrap;
    overflow-x: auto;

here a more formatted example to make it clear:

.parent {
    white-space: nowrap;
    overflow-x: auto;
}

.children {
   display: inline-block;
   margin-left: 20px; 
}

For this example particularly, you can apply the above as fellow (i'm supposing the parent is body. if not you put the right parent), you can also like change the html and add a parent for them if it's possible.

body { /*body may pose problem depend on you context, there is no better then have a specific parent*/
        white-space: nowrap;
        overflow-x: auto;
 }

#element1, #element2{ /*you can like put each one separately, if the margin for the first element is not wanted*/
   display: inline-block;
   margin-left: 10px; 
}

keep in mind that white-space: nowrap; and overlow-x: auto; is what you need to force them to be in one line. white-space: nowrap; disable wrapping. And overlow-x:auto; to activate scrolling, when the element get over the frame limit.

The module ".dll" was loaded but the entry-point was not found

The error indicates that the DLL is either not a COM DLL or it's corrupt. If it's not a COM DLL and not being used as a COM DLL by an application then there is no need to register it.
From what you say in your question (the service is not registered) it seems that we are talking about a service not correctly installed. I will try to reinstall the application.

How to access full source of old commit in BitBucket?

Great answers from a couple of years ago. Now Bitbucket has made it easier.

Pass a reference to DOM object with ng-click

While you do the following, technically speaking:

<button ng-click="doSomething($event)"></button>
// In controller:
$scope.doSomething = function($event) {
  //reference to the button that triggered the function:
  $event.target
};

This is probably something you don't want to do as AngularJS philosophy is to focus on model manipulation and let AngularJS do the rendering (based on hints from the declarative UI). Manipulating DOM elements and attributes from a controller is a big no-no in AngularJS world.

Which data type for latitude and longitude?

Use Point data type to store Longitude and Latitude in a single column:

CREATE TABLE table_name (
    id integer NOT NULL,
    name text NOT NULL,
    location point NOT NULL,
    created_on timestamp with time zone NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
    CONSTRAINT table_name_pkey PRIMARY KEY (id)
)

Create an Indexing on a 'location' column :

CREATE INDEX ON table_name USING GIST(location);

GiST index is capable of optimizing “nearest-neighbor” search :

SELECT * FROM table_name ORDER BY location <-> point '(-74.013, 40.711)' LIMIT 10;

Note: The point first element is longitude and the second element is latitude.

How to open a URL in a new Tab using JavaScript or jQuery?

This is as simple as this.

window.open('_link is here_', 'name'); 

Function description:

name is a name of the window. Following names are supported:

  • _blank - URL is loaded into a new tab. This is default.
  • _parent - URL is loaded into the parent frame
  • _self - URL replaces the current page
  • _top - URL replaces any framesets that may be loaded

private constructor

One common use is in the singleton pattern where you want only one instance of the class to exist. In that case, you can provide a static method which does the instantiation of the object. This way the number of objects instantiated of a particular class can be controlled.

Convert textbox text to integer

You don't need to write a converter, just do this in your handler/codebehind:

int i = Convert.ToInt32(txtMyTextBox.Text);

OR

int i = int.Parse(txtMyTextBox.Text);

The Text property of your textbox is a String type, so you have to perform the conversion in the code.

How to change the name of a Django app?

In many cases, I believe @allcaps's answer works well.

However, sometimes it is necessary to actually rename an app, e.g. to improve code readability or prevent confusion.

Most of the other answers involve either manual database manipulation or tinkering with existing migrations, which I do not like very much.

As an alternative, I like to create a new app with the desired name, copy everything over, make sure it works, then remove the original app:

  1. Start a new app with the desired name, and copy all code from the original app into that. Make sure you fix the namespaced stuff, in the newly copied code, to match the new app name.

  2. makemigrations and migrate

  3. Create a data migration that copies the relevant data from the original app's tables into the new app's tables, and migrate again.

At this point, everything still works, because the original app and its data are still in place.

  1. Now you can refactor all the dependent code, so it only makes use of the new app. See other answers for examples of what to look out for.

  2. Once you are certain that everything works, you can remove the original app.

This has the advantage that every step uses the normal Django migration mechanism, without manual database manipulation, and we can track everything in source control. In addition, we keep the original app and its data in place until we are sure everything works.

LINQ Orderby Descending Query

Just to show it in a different format that I prefer to use for some reason: The first way returns your itemList as an System.Linq.IOrderedQueryable

using(var context = new ItemEntities())
{
    var itemList = context.Items.Where(x => !x.Items && x.DeliverySelection)
                                .OrderByDescending(x => x.Delivery.SubmissionDate);
}

That approach is fine, but if you wanted it straight into a List Object:

var itemList = context.Items.Where(x => !x.Items && x.DeliverySelection)
                                .OrderByDescending(x => x.Delivery.SubmissionDate).ToList();

All you have to do is append a .ToList() call to the end of the Query.

Something to note, off the top of my head I can't recall if the !(not) expression is acceptable in the Where() call.

How to see docker image contents

You should not start a container just to see the image contents. For instance, you might want to look for malicious content, not run it. Use "create" instead of "run";

docker rm tmp_$$

React onClick and preventDefault() link refresh/redirect?

React events are actually Synthetic Events, not Native Events. As it is written here:

Event delegation: React doesn't actually attach event handlers to the nodes themselves. When React starts up, it starts listening for all events at the top level using a single event listener. When a component is mounted or unmounted, the event handlers are simply added or removed from an internal mapping. When an event occurs, React knows how to dispatch it using this mapping. When there are no event handlers left in the mapping, React's event handlers are simple no-ops.

Try to use Use Event.stopImmediatePropagation:

upvote: (e) ->
  e.stopPropagation();
  e.nativeEvent.stopImmediatePropagation();

jQuery: more than one handler for same event

There is a workaround to guarantee that one handler happens after another: attach the second handler to a containing element and let the event bubble up. In the handler attached to the container, you can look at event.target and do something if it's the one you're interested in.

Crude, maybe, but it definitely should work.

How do I format date and time on ssrs report?

Which x can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Dynamically add script tag with src that may include document.write

You can use the document.createElement() function like this:

function addScript( src ) {
  var s = document.createElement( 'script' );
  s.setAttribute( 'src', src );
  document.body.appendChild( s );
}

Sending emails with Javascript

You can add the following to the <head> of your HTML file:

<script src="https://smtpjs.com/v3/smtp.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
    function sendEmail() {
        Email.send({
            SecureToken: "security token of your smtp",
            To: "[email protected]",
            From: "[email protected]",
            Subject: "Subject...",
            Body: document.getElementById('text').value
        }).then( 
            message => alert("mail sent successfully")
        );
    }
</script>

and below is the HMTL part:

<textarea id="text">write text here...</textarea>
<input type="button" value="Send Email" onclick="sendEmail()">

So the sendEmail() function gets the inputs using:

document.getElementById('id_of_the_element').value

For example, you can add another HTML element such as the subject (with id="subject"):

<textarea id="subject">write text here...</textarea>

and get its value in the sendEmail() function:

Subject: document.getElementById('subject').value

And you are done!

Note: If you do not have a SMTP server you can create one for free here. And then encrypt your SMTP credentials here (the SecureToken attribute in sendEmail() corresponds to the encrypted credentials generated there).

Activity <App Name> has leaked ServiceConnection <ServiceConnection Name>@438030a8 that was originally bound here

How to download a Nuget package without nuget.exe or Visual Studio extension?

Then simply unzip the .nupkg file and extract the contents you need.

SVN Repository on Google Drive or DropBox

While possible, it's potentially very risky - if you attempt to commit changes to the repository from 2 different locations simultaneously, you'll get a giant mess due to the file conflicts. Get a free private SVN host somewhere, or set up a repository on a server you have access to.

Edit based on a recent experience: If you have files open that are managed by Dropbox and your computer crashes, your files may be truncated to 0 bytes. If this happens to the files which manage your repository, your repository will be corrupted. If you discover this soon enough, you can use Dropbox's "recover old version" feature but you're still taking a risk.

Correct set of dependencies for using Jackson mapper

The package names in Jackson 2.x got changed to com.fasterxml1 from org.codehaus2. So if you just need ObjectMapper, I think Jackson 1.X can satisfy with your needs.

C - split string into an array of strings

Here is an example of how to use strtok borrowed from MSDN.

And the relevant bits, you need to call it multiple times. The token char* is the part you would stuff into an array (you can figure that part out).

char string[] = "A string\tof ,,tokens\nand some  more tokens";
char seps[]   = " ,\t\n";
char *token;

int main( void )
{
    printf( "Tokens:\n" );
    /* Establish string and get the first token: */
    token = strtok( string, seps );
    while( token != NULL )
    {
        /* While there are tokens in "string" */
        printf( " %s\n", token );
        /* Get next token: */
        token = strtok( NULL, seps );
    }
}

Named parameters in JDBC

JDBC does not support named parameters. Unless you are bound to using plain JDBC (which causes pain, let me tell you that) I would suggest to use Springs Excellent JDBCTemplate which can be used without the whole IoC Container.

NamedParameterJDBCTemplate supports named parameters, you can use them like that:

 NamedParameterJdbcTemplate jdbcTemplate = new NamedParameterJdbcTemplate(dataSource);

 MapSqlParameterSource paramSource = new MapSqlParameterSource();
 paramSource.addValue("name", name);
 paramSource.addValue("city", city);
 jdbcTemplate.queryForRowSet("SELECT * FROM customers WHERE name = :name AND city = :city", paramSource);

How and where to use ::ng-deep?

I would emphasize the importance of limiting the ::ng-deep to only children of a component by requiring the parent to be an encapsulated css class.

For this to work it's important to use the ::ng-deep after the parent, not before otherwise it would apply to all the classes with the same name the moment the component is loaded.

Using the :host keyword before ::ng-deep will handle this automatically:

:host ::ng-deep .mat-checkbox-layout

Alternatively you can achieve the same behavior by adding a component scoped CSS class before the ::ng-deep keyword:

.my-component ::ng-deep .mat-checkbox-layout {
    background-color: aqua;
}

Component template:

<h1 class="my-component">
    <mat-checkbox ....></mat-checkbox>
</h1>

Resulting (Angular generated) css will then include the uniquely generated name and apply only to its own component instance:

.my-component[_ngcontent-c1] .mat-checkbox-layout {
    background-color: aqua;
}

Window.open and pass parameters by post method

I found a better way to pass parameters to the popup window and even to retrieve parameters from it :

In the main page :

var popupwindow;
var sharedObject = {};

function openPopupWindow()
{
   // Define the datas you want to pass
   sharedObject.var1 = 
   sharedObject.var2 = 
   ...

   // Open the popup window
   window.open(URL_OF_POPUP_WINDOW, NAME_OF_POPUP_WINDOW, POPUP_WINDOW_STYLE_PROPERTIES);
   if (window.focus) { popupwindow.focus(); }
}

function closePopupWindow()
{
    popupwindow.close();

    // Retrieve the datas from the popup window
    = sharedObject.var1;
    = sharedObject.var2;
    ...
}

In the popup window :

var sharedObject = window.opener.sharedObject;

// function you have to to call to close the popup window
function myclose()
{
    //Define the parameters you want to pass to the main calling window
    sharedObject.var1 = 
    sharedObject.var2 = 
    ...
    window.opener.closePopupWindow();
}

That's it !

And this is very convenient because:

  • You have not to set parameters in the URL of the popup window.
  • No form to define
  • You can use illimited parameters even objects.
  • Bi-directionnal : you can pass parameters AND, if you want you, can retreive new parameters.
  • Very easy to implement.

Returning http 200 OK with error within response body

HTTP Is the Protocol handling the transmission of data over the internet.

If that transmission breaks for whatever reason the HTTP error codes tell you why it can't be sent to you.

The data being transmitted is not handled by HTTP Error codes. Only the method of transmission.

HTTP can't say 'Ok, this answer is gobbledigook, but here it is'. it just says 200 OK.

i.e : I've completed my job of getting it to you, the rest is up to you.

I know this has been answered already but I put it in words I can understand. sorry for any repetition.

  • All numeric types now have the random(in:) method that takes range.

  • It returns a number uniformly distributed in that range.


TL;DR

Well, what is wrong with the "good" old way?

  1. You have to use imported C APIs (They are different between platforms).

  2. And moreover...

What if I told you that the random is not that random?

If you use arc4random() (to calculate the remainder) like arc4random() % aNumber, the result is not uniformly distributed between the 0 and aNumber. There is a problem called the Modulo bias.

Modulo bias

Normally, the function generates a random number between 0 and MAX (depends on the type etc.). To make a quick, easy example, let's say the max number is 7 and you care about a random number in the range 0 ..< 2 (or the interval [0, 3) if you prefer that).

The probabilities for individual numbers are:

  • 0: 3/8 = 37.5%
  • 1: 3/8 = 37.5%
  • 2: 2/8 = 25%

In other words, you are more likely to end up with 0 or 1 than 2. Of course, bare in mind that this is extremely simplified and the MAX number is much higher, making it more "fair".

This problem is addressed by SE-0202 - Random unification in Swift 4.2

No line-break after a hyphen

IE8/9 render the non-breaking hyphen mentioned in CanSpice's answer longer than a typical hyphen. It is the length of an en-dash instead of a typical hyphen. This display difference was a deal breaker for me.

As I could not use the CSS answer specified by Deb I instead opted to use no break tags.

<nobr>e-mail</nobr>

In addition I found a specific scenario that caused IE8/9 to break on a hyphen.

  • A string contains words separated by non-breaking spaces - &nbsp;
  • Width is limited
  • Contains a dash

IE renders it like this.

Example of hyphen breaking in IE8/9

The following code reproduces the problem pictured above. I had to use a meta tag to force rendering to IE9 as IE10 has fixed the issue. No fiddle because it does not support meta tags.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9" />
        <meta charset="utf-8"/>

            body { padding: 20px; }
            div { width: 300px; border: 1px solid gray; }
        </style>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div>

Java executors: how to be notified, without blocking, when a task completes?

Define a callback interface to receive whatever parameters you want to pass along in the completion notification. Then invoke it at the end of the task.

You could even write a general wrapper for Runnable tasks, and submit these to ExecutorService. Or, see below for a mechanism built into Java 8.

class CallbackTask implements Runnable {

  private final Runnable task;

  private final Callback callback;

  CallbackTask(Runnable task, Callback callback) {
    this.task = task;
    this.callback = callback;
  }

  public void run() {
    task.run();
    callback.complete();
  }

}

With CompletableFuture, Java 8 included a more elaborate means to compose pipelines where processes can be completed asynchronously and conditionally. Here's a contrived but complete example of notification.

import java.util.concurrent.CompletableFuture;
import java.util.concurrent.ThreadLocalRandom;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;

public class GetTaskNotificationWithoutBlocking {

  public static void main(String... argv) throws Exception {
    ExampleService svc = new ExampleService();
    GetTaskNotificationWithoutBlocking listener = new GetTaskNotificationWithoutBlocking();
    CompletableFuture<String> f = CompletableFuture.supplyAsync(svc::work);
    f.thenAccept(listener::notify);
    System.out.println("Exiting main()");
  }

  void notify(String msg) {
    System.out.println("Received message: " + msg);
  }

}

class ExampleService {

  String work() {
    sleep(7000, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS); /* Pretend to be busy... */
    char[] str = new char[5];
    ThreadLocalRandom current = ThreadLocalRandom.current();
    for (int idx = 0; idx < str.length; ++idx)
      str[idx] = (char) ('A' + current.nextInt(26));
    String msg = new String(str);
    System.out.println("Generated message: " + msg);
    return msg;
  }

  public static void sleep(long average, TimeUnit unit) {
    String name = Thread.currentThread().getName();
    long timeout = Math.min(exponential(average), Math.multiplyExact(10, average));
    System.out.printf("%s sleeping %d %s...%n", name, timeout, unit);
    try {
      unit.sleep(timeout);
      System.out.println(name + " awoke.");
    } catch (InterruptedException abort) {
      Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
      System.out.println(name + " interrupted.");
    }
  }

  public static long exponential(long avg) {
    return (long) (avg * -Math.log(1 - ThreadLocalRandom.current().nextDouble()));
  }

}

I guess it would be best to fix the database startup script itself. But as a work around, you can add that line to /etc/rc.local, which is executed about last in init phase.

Sort hash by key, return hash in Ruby

I had the same problem ( I had to sort my equipments by their name ) and i solved like this:

<% @equipments.sort.each do |name, quantity| %>
...
<% end %>

@equipments is a hash that I build on my model and return on my controller. If you call .sort it will sort the hash based on it's key value.

Datatable select with multiple conditions

If you really don't want to run into lots of annoying errors (datediff and such can't be evaluated in DataTable.Select among other things and even if you do as suggested use DataTable.AsEnumerable you will have trouble evaluating DateTime fields) do the following:

1) Model Your Data (create a class with DataTable columns)

Example

public class Person
{
public string PersonId { get; set; }
public DateTime DateBorn { get; set; }
}

2) Add this helper class to your code

public static class Extensions
{
/// <summary>
/// Converts datatable to list<T> dynamically
/// </summary>
/// <typeparam name="T">Class name</typeparam>
/// <param name="dataTable">data table to convert</param>
/// <returns>List<T></returns>
public static List<T> ToList<T>(this DataTable dataTable) where T : new()
{
    var dataList = new List<T>();

    //Define what attributes to be read from the class
    const BindingFlags flags = BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance;

    //Read Attribute Names and Types
    var objFieldNames = typeof(T).GetProperties(flags).Cast<PropertyInfo>().
        Select(item => new
        {
            Name = item.Name,
            Type = Nullable.GetUnderlyingType(item.PropertyType) ?? item.PropertyType
        }).ToList();

    //Read Datatable column names and types
    var dtlFieldNames = dataTable.Columns.Cast<DataColumn>().
        Select(item => new {
            Name = item.ColumnName,
            Type = item.DataType
        }).ToList();

    foreach (DataRow dataRow in dataTable.AsEnumerable().ToList())
    {
        var classObj = new T();

        foreach (var dtField in dtlFieldNames)
        {
            PropertyInfo propertyInfos = classObj.GetType().GetProperty(dtField.Name);

            var field = objFieldNames.Find(x => x.Name == dtField.Name);

3) Easily convert your DataTable (dt) to a List of objects with following code:

List<Person> persons = Extensions.ToList<Person>(dt);

4) have fun using Linq without the annoying row.Field<type> bit you have to use when using AsEnumerable

Example

var personsBornOn1980 = persons.Where(x=>x.DateBorn.Year == 1980);

What is .Net Framework 4 extended?

Got this from Bing. Seems Microsoft has removed some features from the core framework and added it to a separate optional(?) framework component.

To quote from MSDN (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc656912.aspx)

The .NET Framework 4 Client Profile does not include the following features. You must install the .NET Framework 4 to use these features in your application:

* ASP.NET
* Advanced Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) functionality
* .NET Framework Data Provider for Oracle
* MSBuild for compiling

Return only string message from Spring MVC 3 Controller

With Spring 4, if your Controller is annotated with @RestController instead of @Controller, you don't need the @ResponseBody annotation.

The code would be

@RestController
public class FooController {

   @RequestMapping(value="/controller", method=GET)
   public String foo() {
      return "Response!";
   }

}

You can find the Javadoc for @RestController here

How to iterate over a column vector in Matlab?

with many functions in matlab, you don't need to iterate at all.

for example, to multiply by it's position in the list:

m = [1:numel(list)]';
elm = list.*m;

vectorized algorithms in matlab are in general much faster.

How to assign from a function which returns more than one value?

To obtain multiple outputs from a function and keep them in the desired format you can save the outputs to your hard disk (in the working directory) from within the function and then load them from outside the function:

myfun <- function(x) {
                      df1 <- ...
                      df2 <- ...
                      save(df1, file = "myfile1")
                      save(df2, file = "myfile2")
}
load("myfile1")
load("myfile2")

" app-release.apk" how to change this default generated apk name

My solution may also be of help to someone.

Tested and Works on IntelliJ 2017.3.2 with Gradle 4.4

Scenario:

I have 2 flavours in my application, and so I wanted each release to be named appropriately according to each flavor.

The code below will be placed into your module gradle build file found in:

{app-root}/app/build.gradle

Gradle code to be added to android{ } block:

android {
    // ...

    defaultConfig {
        versionCode 10
        versionName "1.2.3_build5"
    }

    buildTypes {
        // ...

        release {
            // ...

            applicationVariants.all { 
                variant.outputs.each { output ->
                    output.outputFile = new File(output.outputFile.parent, output.outputFile.name.replace(output.outputFile.name, variant.flavorName + "-" + defaultConfig.versionName + "_v" + defaultConfig.versionCode + ".apk"))
                }
            }

        }
    }

    productFlavors {
        myspicyflavor {
            applicationIdSuffix ".MySpicyFlavor"
            signingConfig signingConfigs.debug
        }

        mystandardflavor {
            applicationIdSuffix ".MyStandardFlavor"
            signingConfig signingConfigs.config
        }
    }
}

The above provides the following APKs found in {app-root}/app/:

myspicyflavor-release-1.2.3_build5_v10.apk
mystandardflavor-release-1.2.3_build5_v10.apk

Hope it can be of use to someone.

Is it better to use NOT or <> when comparing values?

Because "not ... =" is two operations and "<>" is only one, it is faster to use "<>".

Here is a quick experiment to prove it:

StartTime = Timer
For x = 1 to 100000000
   If 4 <> 3 Then
   End if
Next
WScript.echo Timer-StartTime

StartTime = Timer
For x = 1 to 100000000
   If Not (4 = 3) Then
   End if
Next
WScript.echo Timer-StartTime

The results I get on my machine:

4.783203
5.552734

Storing files in SQL Server

There's a really good paper by Microsoft Research called To Blob or Not To Blob.

Their conclusion after a large number of performance tests and analysis is this:

  • if your pictures or document are typically below 256K in size, storing them in a database VARBINARY column is more efficient

  • if your pictures or document are typically over 1 MB in size, storing them in the filesystem is more efficient (and with SQL Server 2008's FILESTREAM attribute, they're still under transactional control and part of the database)

  • in between those two, it's a bit of a toss-up depending on your use

If you decide to put your pictures into a SQL Server table, I would strongly recommend using a separate table for storing those pictures - do not store the employee photo in the employee table - keep them in a separate table. That way, the Employee table can stay lean and mean and very efficient, assuming you don't always need to select the employee photo, too, as part of your queries.

For filegroups, check out Files and Filegroup Architecture for an intro. Basically, you would either create your database with a separate filegroup for large data structures right from the beginning, or add an additional filegroup later. Let's call it "LARGE_DATA".

Now, whenever you have a new table to create which needs to store VARCHAR(MAX) or VARBINARY(MAX) columns, you can specify this file group for the large data:

 CREATE TABLE dbo.YourTable
     (....... define the fields here ......)
     ON Data                   -- the basic "Data" filegroup for the regular data
     TEXTIMAGE_ON LARGE_DATA   -- the filegroup for large chunks of data

Check out the MSDN intro on filegroups, and play around with it!

How does Python return multiple values from a function?

Python functions always return a unique value. The comma operator is the constructor of tuples so self.first_name, self.last_name evaluates to a tuple and that tuple is the actual value the function is returning.

$http get parameters does not work

The 2nd parameter in the get call is a config object. You want something like this:

    .get('accept.php', {
        params: {
            source: link,
            category_id: category

     })
     .success(function (data,status) {
          $scope.info_show = data
     });

jQuery UI Slider (setting programmatically)

For me this perfectly triggers slide event on UI Slider :

hs=$('#height_slider').slider();
hs.slider('option', 'value',h);
hs.slider('option','slide')
       .call(hs,null,{ handle: $('.ui-slider-handle', hs), value: h });

Don't forget to set value by hs.slider('option', 'value',h); before the trigger. Else slider handler will not be in sync with value.

One thing to note here is that h is index/position (not value) in case you are using html select.

Entity Framework - Code First - Can't Store List<String>

Of course Pawel has given the right answer. But I found in this post that since EF 6+ it is possible to save private properties. So I would prefer this code, because you are not able to save the Strings in a wrong way.

        }
    }

The maximum row size for an InnoDB table, which applies to data stored locally within a database page, is slightly less than half a page for 4KB, 8KB, 16KB, and 32KB

For 16kb pages (default), we can calculate:

Slightly less than half a page 8126 / Number of bytes to threshold for overflow 767 = 10.59 fields of 767 bytes maximum

Basically, you could max out a row with:

  • 11 varchar fields > 767 characters (latin1 = 1 byte per char) or
  • 11 varchar fields > 255 characters (utf-8 on mysql = 3 bytes per char).

Remember, it will only overflow to an overflow page if the field is > 767 bytes. If there are too many fields of 767 bytes, it will bust (passing beyond max row_size). Not usual with latin1 but very possible with utf-8 if the developers aren’t careful.

For this case, I think you could possibly bump the innodb_page_size to 32kb.

in my.cnf:

innodb_page_size=32K

Is JavaScript's "new" keyword considered harmful?

Javascript being dynamic language there a zillion ways to mess up where another language would stop you.

Avoiding a fundamental language feature such as new on the basis that you might mess up is a bit like removing your shiny new shoes before walking through a minefield just in case you might get your shoes muddy.

I use a convention where function names begin with a lower case letter and 'functions' that are actually class definitions begin with a upper case letter. The result is a really quite compelling visual clue that the 'syntax' is wrong:-

var o = MyClass();  // this is clearly wrong.

On top of this good naming habits help. After all functions do things and therefore there should be a verb in its name whereas classes represent objects and are nouns and adjectives with no verb.

var o = chair() // Executing chair is daft.
var o = createChair() // makes sense.

Its interesting how SO's syntax colouring has interpretted the code above.

What is the HTML5 equivalent to the align attribute in table cells?

You can use inline css :
<td style = "text-align: center;">

Why is printing "B" dramatically slower than printing "#"?

I performed tests on Eclipse vs Netbeans 8.0.2, both with Java version 1.8; I used System.nanoTime() for measurements.

Eclipse:

I got the same time on both cases - around 1.564 seconds.

Netbeans:

  • Using "#": 1.536 seconds
  • Using "B": 44.164 seconds

So, it looks like Netbeans has bad performance on print to console.

After more research I realized that the problem is line-wrapping of the max buffer of Netbeans (it's not restricted to System.out.println command), demonstrated by this code:

for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
    long t1 = System.nanoTime();
    System.out.print("BBB......BBB"); \\<-contain 1000 "B"
    long t2 = System.nanoTime();
    System.out.println(t2-t1);
    System.out.println("");
}

The time results are less then 1 millisecond every iteration except every fifth iteration, when the time result is around 225 millisecond. Something like (in nanoseconds):

BBB...31744
BBB...31744
BBB...31744
BBB...31744
BBB...226365807
BBB...31744
BBB...31744
BBB...31744
BBB...31744
BBB...226365807
.
.
.

And so on..

Summary:

  1. Eclipse works perfectly with "B"
  2. Netbeans has a line-wrapping problem that can be solved (because the problem does not occur in eclipse)(without adding space after B ("B ")).

How can I set the opacity or transparency of a Panel in WinForms?

Try this:

change alpha(A) to get desired opacity.

How can I ssh directly to a particular directory?

I've created a tool to SSH and CD into a server consecutively – aptly named sshcd. For the example you've given, you'd simply use:

How do I convert from int to String?

Normal ways would be Integer.toString(i) or String.valueOf(i).

The concatenation will work, but it is unconventional and could be a bad smell as it suggests the author doesn't know about the two methods above (what else might they not know?).

Java has special support for the + operator when used with strings (see the documentation) which translates the code you posted into:

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.append("");
sb.append(i);
String strI = sb.toString();

at compile-time. It's slightly less efficient (sb.append() ends up calling Integer.getChars(), which is what Integer.toString() would've done anyway), but it works.

To answer Grodriguez's comment: ** No, the compiler doesn't optimise out the empty string in this case - look:

simon@lucifer:~$ cat TestClass.java
public class TestClass {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    int i = 5;
    String strI = "" + i;
  }
}
simon@lucifer:~$ javac TestClass.java && javap -c TestClass
Compiled from "TestClass.java"
public class TestClass extends java.lang.Object{
public TestClass();
  Code:
   0:    aload_0
   1:    invokespecial    #1; //Method java/lang/Object."<init>":()V
   4:    return

public static void main(java.lang.String[]);
  Code:
   0:    iconst_5
   1:    istore_1

Initialise the StringBuilder:

   2:    new    #2; //class java/lang/StringBuilder
   5:    dup
   6:    invokespecial    #3; //Method java/lang/StringBuilder."<init>":()V

Append the empty string:

   9:    ldc    #4; //String
   11:    invokevirtual    #5; //Method java/lang/StringBuilder.append:
(Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/StringBuilder;

Append the integer:

   14:    iload_1
   15:    invokevirtual    #6; //Method java/lang/StringBuilder.append:
(I)Ljava/lang/StringBuilder;

Extract the final string:

   18:    invokevirtual    #7; //Method java/lang/StringBuilder.toString:
()Ljava/lang/String;
   21:    astore_2
   22:    return
}

There's a proposal and ongoing work to change this behaviour, targetted for JDK 9.

Fetch API request timeout?

there's no timeout support in the fetch API yet. But it could be achieved by wrapping it in a promise.

for eg.

  function fetchWrapper(url, options, timeout) {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
      fetch(url, options).then(resolve, reject);

      if (timeout) {
        const e = new Error("Connection timed out");
        setTimeout(reject, timeout, e);
      }
    });
  }

Why doesn't Dijkstra's algorithm work for negative weight edges?

You can use dijkstra's algorithm with negative edges not including negative cycle, but you must allow a vertex can be visited multiple times and that version will lose it's fast time complexity.

In that case practically I've seen it's better to use SPFA algorithm which have normal queue and can handle negative edges.

How to pass credentials to the Send-MailMessage command for sending emails

So..it was SSL problem. Whatever I was doing was absolutely correct. Only that I was not using the ssl option. So I added "-Usessl true" to my original command and it worked.

How do I add a newline to command output in PowerShell?

I think you had the correct idea with your last example. You only got an error because you were trying to put quotes inside an already quoted string. This will fix it:

gci -path hklm:\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\uninstall | ForEach-Object -Process { write-output ($_.GetValue("DisplayName") + "`n") }

Edit: Keith's $() operator actually creates a better syntax (I always forget about this one). You can also escape quotes inside quotes as so:

gci -path hklm:\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\uninstall | ForEach-Object -Process { write-output "$($_.GetValue(`"DisplayName`"))`n" }

ipad safari: disable scrolling, and bounce effect?

Try this JS solution that toggles webkitOverflowScrolling style. The trick here is that this style is off, mobile Safari goes to ordinary scrolling and prevents over-bounce — alas, it is not able to cancel ongoing drag. This complex solution also tracks onscroll as bounce over the top makes scrollTop negative that may be tracked. This solution was tested on iOS 12.1.1 and has single drawback: while accelerating the scroll single over-bounce still happens as resetting the style may not cancel it immediately.

function preventScrollVerticalBounceEffect(container) {
  setTouchScroll(true) //!: enable before the first scroll attempt

  container.addEventListener("touchstart", onTouchStart)
  container.addEventListener("touchmove", onTouch, { passive: false })
  container.addEventListener("touchend", onTouchEnd)
  container.addEventListener("scroll", onScroll)

  function isTouchScroll() {
    return !!container.style.webkitOverflowScrolling
  }

  let prevScrollTop = 0, prevTouchY, opid = 0

  function setTouchScroll(on) {
    container.style.webkitOverflowScrolling = on ? "touch" : null

    //Hint: auto-enabling after a small pause makes the start
    // smoothly accelerated as required. After the pause the
    // scroll position is settled, and there is no delta to
    // make over-bounce by dragging the finger. But still,
    // accelerated content makes short single over-bounce
    // as acceleration may not be off instantly.

    const xopid = ++opid
    !on && setTimeout(() => (xopid === opid) && setTouchScroll(true), 250)

    if(!on && container.scrollTop < 16)
      container.scrollTop = 0
    prevScrollTop = container.scrollTop
  }

  function isBounceOverTop() {
    const dY = container.scrollTop - prevScrollTop
    return dY < 0 && container.scrollTop < 16
  }

  function isBounceOverBottom(touchY) {
    const dY = touchY - prevTouchY

    //Hint: trying to bounce over the bottom, the finger moves
    // up the screen, thus Y becomes smaller. We prevent this.

    return dY < 0 && container.scrollHeight - 16 <=
      container.scrollTop + container.offsetHeight
  }

  function onTouchStart(e) {
    prevTouchY = e.touches[0].pageY
  }

  function onTouch(e) {
    const touchY = e.touches[0].pageY

    if(isBounceOverBottom(touchY)) {
      if(isTouchScroll())
        setTouchScroll(false)
      e.preventDefault()
    }

    prevTouchY = touchY
  }

  function onTouchEnd() {
    prevTouchY = undefined
  }

  function onScroll() {
    if(isTouchScroll() && isBounceOverTop()) {
      setTouchScroll(false)
    }
  }
}

Is there a way to get a <button> element to link to a location without wrapping it in an <a href ... tag?

Well, for a link, there must be a link tag around. what you can also do is that make a css class for the button and assign that class to the link tag. like,

_x000D_
_x000D_
#btn {_x000D_
  background: url(https://image.flaticon.com/icons/png/128/149/149668.png) no-repeat 0 0;_x000D_

How to select distinct query using symfony2 doctrine query builder?

This works:

$category = $catrep->createQueryBuilder('cc')
        ->select('cc.categoryid')
        ->where('cc.contenttype = :type')
        ->setParameter('type', 'blogarticle')
        ->distinct()
        ->getQuery();

$categories = $category->getResult();

Edit for Symfony 3 & 4.

You should use ->groupBy('cc.categoryid') instead of ->distinct()

finding multiples of a number in Python

Based on mathematical concepts, I understand that:

  • all natural numbers that, divided by n, having 0 as remainder, are all multiples of n

Therefore, the following calculation also applies as a solution (multiples between 1 and 100):

>>> multiples_5 = [n for n in range(1, 101) if n % 5 == 0]
>>> multiples_5
[5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100]

How can I use an ES6 import in Node.js?

Node.js has included experimental support for ES6 support. Read more about here: https://nodejs.org/docs/latest-v13.x/api/esm.html#esm_enabling.

TLDR;

Node.js >= v13

It's very simple in Node.js 13 and above. You need to either:

  • Save the file with .mjs extension, or
  • Add { "type": "module" } in the nearest package.json.

You only need to do one of the above to be able to use ECMAScript modules.

Node.js <= v12

If you are using Node.js version 8-12, save the file with ES6 modules with .mjs extension and run it like:

node --experimental-modules my-app.mjs

Download files in laravel using Response::download

Try this.

    $headers = array(
              'Content-Type: application/pdf',
            );

    return Response::download($file, 'filename.pdf', $headers);
}

"./download/info.pdf"will not work as you have to give full physical path.

Update 20/05/2016

Laravel 5, 5.1, 5.2 or 5.* users can use the following method instead of Response facade. However, my previous answer will work for both Laravel 4 or 5. (the $header array structure change to associative array =>- the colon after 'Content-Type' was deleted - if we don't do those changes then headers will be added in wrong way: the name of header wil be number started from 0,1,...)

$headers = [
              'Content-Type' => 'application/pdf',
           ];

return response()->download($file, 'filename.pdf', $headers);

Sort columns of a dataframe by column name

Here is what I found out to achieve a similar problem with my data set.

First, do what James mentioned above, i.e.

test[ , order(names(test))]

Second, use the everything() function in dplyr to move specific columns of interest (e.g., "D", "G", "K") at the beginning of the data frame, putting the alphabetically ordered columns after those ones.

select(test, D, G, K, everything())

or replace all instances of \" with \\\"

String newstring = String.replaceAll("\"","\\\"");

Determine version of Entity Framework I am using?

Another way to get the EF version you are using is to open the Package Manager Console (PMC) in Visual Studio and type Get-Package at the prompt. The first line with be for EntityFramework and list the version the project has installed.

PM> Get-Package

} 

or to rephrase the demo from one of the answers, something like :-

public class RephraseDemo {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int month = 9;
        int year = 2018;
        int numDays = 0;

        switch (month) {
            case 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 12 ->{
                numDays = 31;
            }
            case 4, 6, 9, 11 ->{
                numDays = 30;
            }
            case 2 ->{
                if (((year % 4 == 0) &&
                        !(year % 100 == 0))
                        || (year % 400 == 0))
                    numDays = 29;
                else
                    numDays = 28;
            }
            default ->{
                System.out.println("Invalid month.");

            }
        }
        System.out.println("Number of Days = " + numDays);
    }
}

How to remove duplicate white spaces in string using Java?

You can also try using String Tokeniser, for any space, tab, newline, and all. A simple way is,

String s = "Your Text Here";        
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer( s, " " );
while(st.hasMoreTokens())
{
    System.out.print(st.nextToken());
}

Everytime I run gulp anything, I get a assertion error. - Task function must be specified

Gulp 4.0 has changed the way that tasks should be defined if the task depends on another task to execute. The list parameter has been deprecated.

An example from your gulpfile.js would be:

// Starts a BrowerSync instance
gulp.task('server', ['build'], function(){
  browser.init({server: './_site', port: port});
});

Instead of the list parameter they have introduced gulp.series() and gulp.parallel().

This task should be changed to something like this:

// Starts a BrowerSync instance
gulp.task('server', gulp.series('build', function(){
  browser.init({server: './_site', port: port});
}));

I'm not an expert in this. You can see a more robust example in the gulp documentation for running tasks in series or these following excellent blog posts by Jhey Thompkins and Stefan Baumgartner

How can I check for IsPostBack in JavaScript?

Lots of options here.

For a pure JS solution, have your page submit to itself, but with additional URL parameter (mypage.html?postback=true) - you can then get the page url with window.location.href, and parse that using a split or regex to look for your variable.

The much easier one, assuming you sending back to some sort of scripting language to proces the page (php/perl/asp/cf et. al), is to have them echo a line of javascript in the page setting a variable:

<html>

<?php
if ($_POST['myVar']) {
    //postback
    echo '<script>var postingBack = true;</script>';
    //Do other processing
} else {
    echo '<script>var postingBack = false;</script>'
 } ?>
<script>

     if (postingBack == false) {
          //Do stuff
     }
 }

Can I force a page break in HTML printing?

You can use the CSS property page-break-before (or page-break-after). Just set page-break-before: always on those block-level elements (e.g., heading, div, p, or table elements) that should start on a new line.

For example, to cause a line break before any 2nd level heading and before any element in class newpage (e.g., <div class=newpage>...), you would use

h2, .newpage { page-break-before: always }

How to make Scrollable Table with fixed headers using CSS

I can think of a cheeky way to do it, I don't think this will be the best option but it will work.

Create the header as a separate table then place the other in a div and set a max size, then allow the scroll to come in by using overflow.

Waiting till the async task finish its work

wait until this call is finish its executing

You will need to call AsyncTask.get() method for getting result back and make wait until doInBackground execution is not complete. but this will freeze Main UI thread if you not call get method inside a Thread.

To get result back in UI Thread start AsyncTask as :

String str_result= new RunInBackGround().execute().get();

A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client

Please bear in mind that some .NET controls will automatically HTML encode the output. For instance, setting the .Text property on a TextBox control will automatically encode it. That specifically means converting < into &lt;, > into &gt; and & into &amp;. So be wary of doing this...

myTextBox.Text = Server.HtmlEncode(myStringFromDatabase); // Pseudo code

However, the .Text property for HyperLink, Literal and Label won't HTML encode things, so wrapping Server.HtmlEncode(); around anything being set on these properties is a must if you want to prevent <script> window.location = "http://www.google.com"; </script> from being output into your page and subsequently executed.

Do a little experimenting to see what gets encoded and what doesn't.

Bash script to check running process

A solution with service and awk that takes in a comma-delimited list of service names.

First it's probably a good bet you'll need root privileges to do what you want. If you don't need to check then you can remove that part.

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# First parameter is a comma-delimited string of service names i.e. service1,service2,service3
SERVICES=$1

ALL_SERVICES_STARTED=true

if [ $EUID -ne 0 ]; then
  if [ "$(id -u)" != "0" ]; then
    echo "root privileges are required" 1>&2
    exit 1
  fi
  exit 1
fi

for service in ${SERVICES//,/ }
do
    STATUS=$(service ${service} status | awk '{print $2}')

    if [ "${STATUS}" != "started" ]; then
        echo "${service} not started"
        ALL_SERVICES_STARTED=false
    fi
done

if ${ALL_SERVICES_STARTED} ; then
    echo "All services started"
    exit 0
else
    echo "Check Failed"
    exit 1
fi

Does Spring @Transactional attribute work on a private method?

If you need to wrap a private method inside a transaction and don't want to use aspectj, you can use TransactionTemplate.

@Service
public class MyService {

    @Autowired
    private TransactionTemplate transactionTemplate;

    private void process(){
        transactionTemplate.execute(new TransactionCallbackWithoutResult() {
            @Override
            protected void doInTransactionWithoutResult(TransactionStatus status) {
                processInTransaction();
            }
        });

    }

    private void processInTransaction(){
        //...
    }

}

Sum across multiple columns with dplyr

Using reduce() from purrr is slightly faster than rowSums and definately faster than apply, since you avoid iterating over all the rows and just take advantage of the vectorized operations:

library(purrr)
library(dplyr)
iris %>% mutate(Petal = reduce(select(., starts_with("Petal")), `+`))

How can I remove item from querystring in asp.net using c#?

Here is a simple way. Reflector is not needed.

    public static string GetQueryStringWithOutParameter(string parameter)
    {
        var nameValueCollection = System.Web.HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(HttpContext.Current.Request.QueryString.ToString());
        nameValueCollection.Remove(parameter);
        string url = HttpContext.Current.Request.Path + "?" + nameValueCollection;

        return url;
    }

Here QueryString.ToString() is required because Request.QueryString collection is read only.

powershell 2.0 try catch how to access the exception

Try something like this:

try {
    $w = New-Object net.WebClient
    $d = $w.downloadString('http://foo')
}
catch [Net.WebException] {
    Write-Host $_.Exception.ToString()
}

The exception is in the $_ variable. You might explore $_ like this:

try {
    $w = New-Object net.WebClient
    $d = $w.downloadString('http://foo')
}
catch [Net.WebException] {
    $_ | fl * -Force
}

I think it will give you all the info you need.

My rule: if there is some data that is not displayed, try to use -force.

Access And/Or exclusions

Seeing that it appears you are running using the SQL syntax, try with the correct wild card.

How do you get centered content using Twitter Bootstrap?

Update 2019 - Bootstrap 4

"Centered content" can mean many different things, and Bootstrap centering has changed a lot since the original post.

Horizontal Center

Bootstrap 3

  • text-center is used for display:inline elements
  • center-block to center display:block elements
  • col-*offset-* to center grid columns
  • see this answer to center the navbar

Demo Bootstrap 3 Horizontal Centering

Bootstrap 4

  • text-center is still used for display:inline elements
  • mx-auto replaces center-block to center display:block elements
  • offset-* or mx-auto can be used to center grid columns
  • justify-content-center in row can also be used to center col-*

mx-auto (auto x-axis margins) will center display:block or display:flex elements that have a defined width, (%, vw, px, etc..). Flexbox is used by default on grid columns, so there are also various flexbox centering methods.

Demo Bootstrap 4 Horizontal Centering


Vertical Center

Now that Bootstrap 4 is flexbox by default there are many different approaches to vertical alignment using: auto-margins, flexbox utils, or the display utils along with vertical align utils. At first "vertical align utils" seems obvious but these only work with inline and table display elements. Here are some Bootstrap 4 vertical centering options..


1 - Vertical Center Using Auto Margins:

Another way to vertically center is to use my-auto. This will center the element within it's container. For example, h-100 makes the row full height, and my-auto will vertically center the col-sm-12 column.

<div class="row h-100">
    <div class="col-sm-12 my-auto">
        <div class="card card-block w-25">Card</div>
    </div>
</div>

Vertical Center Using Auto Margins Demo

my-auto represents margins on the vertical y-axis and is equivalent to:

margin-top: auto;
margin-bottom: auto;

2 - Vertical Center with Flexbox:

vertical center grid columns

Since Bootstrap 4 .row is now display:flex you can simply use align-self-center on any column to vertically center it...

       <div class="row">
           <div class="col-6 align-self-center">
                <div class="card card-block">
                 Center
                </div>
           </div>
           <div class="col-6">
                <div class="card card-inverse card-danger">
                    Taller
                </div>
          </div>
    </div>

or, use align-items-center on the entire .row to vertically center align all col-* in the row...

       <div class="row align-items-center">
           <div class="col-6">
                <div class="card card-block">
                 Center
                </div>
           </div>
           <div class="col-6">
                <div class="card card-inverse card-danger">
                    Taller
                </div>
          </div>
    </div>

Vertical Center Different Height Columns Demo


3 - Vertical Center Using Display Utils:

Bootstrap 4 has display utils that can be used for display:table, display:table-cell, display:inline, etc.. These can be used with the vertical alignment utils to align inline, inline-block or table cell elements.

<div class="row h-50">
    <div class="col-sm-12 h-100 d-table">
        <div class="card card-block d-table-cell align-middle">
            I am centered vertically
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

SQL MAX of multiple columns?

Scalar Function cause all sorts of performance issues, so its better to wrap the logic into an Inline Table Valued Function if possible. This is the function I used to replace some User Defined Functions which selected the Min/Max dates from a list of upto ten dates. When tested on my dataset of 1 Million rows the Scalar Function took over 15 minutes before I killed the query the Inline TVF took 1 minute which is the same amount of time as selecting the resultset into a temporary table. To use this call the function from either a subquery in the the SELECT or a CROSS APPLY.

CREATE FUNCTION dbo.Get_Min_Max_Date
(
    @Date1  datetime,
    @Date2  datetime,
    @Date3  datetime,
    @Date4  datetime,
    @Date5  datetime,
    @Date6  datetime,
    @Date7  datetime,
    @Date8  datetime,
    @Date9  datetime,
    @Date10 datetime
)
RETURNS TABLE
AS
RETURN
(
    SELECT      Max(DateValue)  Max_Date,
                Min(DateValue)  Min_Date
    FROM        (
                    VALUES  (@Date1),
                            (@Date2),
                            (@Date3),
                            (@Date4),
                            (@Date5),
                            (@Date6),
                            (@Date7),
                            (@Date8),
                            (@Date9),

See what's in a stash without applying it

From the man git-stash page:

The modifications stashed away by this command can be listed with git stash list, inspected with git stash show

show [<stash>]
       Show the changes recorded in the stash as a diff between the stashed state and
       its original parent. When no <stash> is given, shows the latest one. By default,
       the command shows the diffstat, but it will accept any format known to git diff
       (e.g., git stash show -p stash@{1} to view the second most recent stash in patch
       form).

To list the stashed modifications

git stash list

To show files changed in the last stash

git stash show

So, to view the content of the most recent stash, run

git stash show -p

To view the content of an arbitrary stash, run something like

git stash show -p stash@{1}

jQuery - how to write 'if not equal to' (opposite of ==)

!=

For example,

if ("apple" != "orange")
  // true, the string "apple" is not equal to the string "orange"

Means not. See also the logical operators list. Also, when you see triple characters, it's a type sensitive comparison. (e.g. if (1 === '1') [not equal])

PHP order array by date?

I recommend using DateTime objects instead of strings, because you cannot easily compare strings, which is required for sorting. You also get additional advantages for working with dates.

Once you have the DateTime objects, sorting is quite easy:

usort($array, function($a, $b) {
  return ($a['date'] < $b['date']) ? -1 : 1;
});
