Start redis-server with config file

To start redis with a config file all you need to do is specifiy the config file as an argument:

redis-server /root/config/redis.rb

Instead of using and killing PID's I would suggest creating an init script for your service

I would suggest taking a look at the Installing Redis more properly section of http://redis.io/topics/quickstart. It will walk you through setting up an init script with redis so you can just do something like service redis_server start and service redis_server stop to control your server.

I am not sure exactly what distro you are using, that article describes instructions for a Debian based distro. If you are are using a RHEL/Fedora distro let me know, I can provide you with instructions for the last couple of steps, the config file and most of the other steps will be the same.

How to generate a random integer number from within a range

For those who understand the bias problem but can't stand the unpredictable run-time of rejection-based methods, this series produces a progressively less biased random integer in the [0, n-1] interval:

r = n / 2;
r = (rand() * n + r) / (RAND_MAX + 1);
r = (rand() * n + r) / (RAND_MAX + 1);
r = (rand() * n + r) / (RAND_MAX + 1);
...

It does so by synthesising a high-precision fixed-point random number of i * log_2(RAND_MAX + 1) bits (where i is the number of iterations) and performing a long multiplication by n.

When the number of bits is sufficiently large compared to n, the bias becomes immeasurably small.

It does not matter if RAND_MAX + 1 is less than n (as in this question), or if it is not a power of two, but care must be taken to avoid integer overflow if RAND_MAX * n is large.

Convert JSONArray to String Array

The below code will convert the JSON array of the format

[{"version":"70.3.0;3"},{"version":"6R_16B000I_J4;3"},{"version":"46.3.0;3"},{"version":"20.3.0;2"},{"version":"4.1.3;0"},{"version":"10.3.0;1"}]

to List of String

[70.3.0;3, 6R_16B000I_J4;3, 46.3.0;3, 20.3.0;2, 4.1.3;0, 10.3.0;1]

Code :

ObjectMapper mapper = new ObjectMapper(); ArrayNode node = (ArrayNode)mapper.readTree(dataFromDb); data = node.findValuesAsText("version"); // "version" is the node in the JSON

and use com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper

How to check for file lock?

You can also check if any process is using this file and show a list of programs you must close to continue like an installer does.

public static string GetFileProcessName(string filePath)

        {
            ProcessModule[] arr = new ProcessModule[proc.Modules.Count];

            foreach (ProcessModule pm in proc.Modules)
            {
                if (pm.ModuleName == fileName)
                    return proc.ProcessName;

        }
    }

    return null;

How to replace a string in an existing file in Perl?

$_='~s/blue/red/g';

Uh, what??

Just

s/blue/red/g;

or, if you insist on using a variable (which is not necessary when using $_, but I just want to show the right syntax):

$_ =~ s/blue/red/g;

disable all form elements inside div

Use the CSS Class to prevent from Editing the Div Elements

CSS:

.divoverlay
{
position:absolute;
width:100%;
height:100%;
background-color:transparent;
z-index:1;
top:0;
}

JS:

$('#divName').append('<div class=divoverlay></div>');

Or add the class name in HTML Tag. It will prevent from editing the Div Elements.

Configure hibernate (using JPA) to store Y/N for type Boolean instead of 0/1

This is pure JPA without using getters/setters. As of 2013/2014 it is the best answer without using any Hibernate specific annotations, but please note this solution is JPA 2.1, and was not available when the question was first asked:

@Entity
public class Person {    

    @Convert(converter=BooleanToStringConverter.class)
    private Boolean isAlive;    
    ...
}

And then:

@Converter
public class BooleanToStringConverter implements AttributeConverter<Boolean, String> {

    @Override
    public String convertToDatabaseColumn(Boolean value) {        
        return (value != null && value) ? "Y" : "N";            
        }    

    @Override
    public Boolean convertToEntityAttribute(String value) {
        return "Y".equals(value);
        }
    }

Edit:

The implementation above considers anything different from character "Y", including null, as false. Is that correct? Some people here consider this incorrect, and believe that null in the database should be null in Java.

But if you return null in Java, it will give you a NullPointerException if your field is a primitive boolean. In other words, unless some of your fields actually use the class Boolean it's best to consider null as false, and use the above implementation. Then Hibernate will not to emit any exceptions regardless of the contents of the database.

And if you do want to accept null and emit exceptions if the contents of the database are not strictly correct, then I guess you should not accept any characters apart from "Y", "N" and null. Make it consistent, and don't accept any variations like "y", "n", "0" and "1", which will only make your life harder later. This is a more strict implementation:

@Override
public String convertToDatabaseColumn(Boolean value) {
    if (value == null) return null;
    else return value ? "Y" : "N";
    }

@Override
public Boolean convertToEntityAttribute(String value) {
    if (value == null) return null;
    else if (value.equals("Y")) return true;
    else if (value.equals("N")) return false;
    else throw new IllegalStateException("Invalid boolean character: " + value);
    }

And yet another option, if you want to allow for null in Java but not in the database:

@Override
public String convertToDatabaseColumn(Boolean value) {
    if (value == null) return "-";
    else return value ? "Y" : "N";
    }

@Override
public Boolean convertToEntityAttribute(String value) {
    if (value.equals("-") return null;
    else if (value.equals("Y")) return true;
    else if (value.equals("N")) return false;
    else throw new IllegalStateException("Invalid boolean character: " + value);
    }

What is a singleton in C#?

Whilst the there can only ever be one instance of a singleton, it is not the same as a static class. A static class can only contain static methods and can never be instantiated, whereas the instance of a singleton may be used in the same way as any other object.

Print in new line, java

/n and /r usage depends on the platform (Window, Mac, Linux) which you are using.
But there are some platform independent separators too:

  1. System.lineSeparator()
    
  2. System.getProperty("line.separator")

How to echo out table rows from the db (php)

All of the snippets on this page can be dramatically reduced in size.

The mysqli result set object can be immediately fed to a foreach() (because it is "iterable") which eliminates the need to maked iterated _fetch() calls.

Imploding each row will allow your code to correctly print all columnar data in the result set without modifying the code.

$sql = "SELECT * FROM MY_TABLE";
echo '<table>';
    foreach (mysqli_query($conn, $sql) as $row) {
        echo '<tr><td>' . implode('</td><td>', $row) . '</td></tr>';
    }
echo '</table>';

If you want to encode html entities, you can map each row:

implode('</td><td>' . array_map('htmlspecialchars', $row))

If you don't want to use implode, you can simply access all row data using associative array syntax. ($row['id'])

Google Maps V3 marker with label

I doubt the standard library supports this.

But you can use the google maps utility library:

http://code.google.com/p/google-maps-utility-library-v3/wiki/Libraries#MarkerWithLabel

var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(-25.363882,131.044922);

var myOptions = {
    zoom: 8,
    center: myLatlng,
    mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
  };

map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map_canvas'), myOptions);

var marker = new MarkerWithLabel({
   position: myLatlng,
   map: map,
   draggable: true,
   raiseOnDrag: true,
   labelContent: "A",
   labelAnchor: new google.maps.Point(3, 30),
   labelClass: "labels", // the CSS class for the label
   labelInBackground: false
 });

The basics about marker can be found here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/overlays#Markers

How to upgrade PostgreSQL from version 9.6 to version 10.1 without losing data?

On Windows I kept facing different errors messages when trying to use pg_upgrade.

Saved a lot of time for me to just:

  1. Backup DB
  2. Uninstall all copies of PostgreSQL
  3. Install 9.5
  4. Restore DB

Cannot call getSupportFragmentManager() from activity

Your activity doesn't extend FragmentActivity from the support library, therefore the method is not present in the superclass

If you are targeting api 11 or above, you could use Activity.getFragmentManager instead.

How to dump a dict to a json file?

import json
with open('result.json', 'w') as fp:
    json.dump(sample, fp)

This is an easier way to do it.

In the second line of code the file result.json gets created and opened as the variable fp.

In the third line your dict sample gets written into the result.json!

What is AndroidX?

AndroidX is the open-source project that the Android team uses to develop, test, package, version and release libraries within Jetpack.

AndroidX is a major improvement to the original Android Support Library. Like the Support Library, AndroidX ships separately from the Android OS and provides backward-compatibility across Android releases. AndroidX fully replaces the Support Library by providing feature parity and new libraries.

AndroidX includes the following features:

  • All packages in AndroidX live in a consistent namespace starting with the string androidx. The Support Library packages have been mapped into the corresponding androidx.* packages. For a full mapping of all the old classes and build artifacts to the new ones, see the Package Refactoring page.

  • Unlike the Support Library, AndroidX packages are separately maintained and updated. The androidx packages use strict Semantic Versioning starting with version 1.0.0. You can update AndroidX libraries in your project independently.

  • All new Support Library development will occur in the AndroidX library. This includes maintenance of the original Support Library artifacts and introduction of new Jetpack components.

Using AndroidX

See Migrating to AndroidX to learn how to migrate an existing project.

If you want to use AndroidX in a new project, you need to set the compile SDK to Android 9.0 (API level 28) or higher and set both of the following Android Gradle plugin flags to true in your gradle.properties file.

  • android.useAndroidX: When set to true, the Android plugin uses the appropriate AndroidX library instead of a Support Library. The flag is false by default if it is not specified.

  • android.enableJetifier: When set to true, the Android plugin automatically migrates existing third-party libraries to use AndroidX by rewriting their binaries. The flag is false by default if it is not specified.

For Artifact mappings see this

Rounding Bigdecimal values with 2 Decimal Places

I think that the RoundingMode you are looking for is ROUND_HALF_EVEN. From the javadoc:

Rounding mode to round towards the "nearest neighbor" unless both neighbors are equidistant, in which case, round towards the even neighbor. Behaves as for ROUND_HALF_UP if the digit to the left of the discarded fraction is odd; behaves as for ROUND_HALF_DOWN if it's even. Note that this is the rounding mode that minimizes cumulative error when applied repeatedly over a sequence of calculations.

Here is a quick test case:

BigDecimal a = new BigDecimal("10.12345");
BigDecimal b = new BigDecimal("10.12556");

a = a.setScale(2, BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_EVEN);
b = b.setScale(2, BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_EVEN);

System.out.println(a);
System.out.println(b);

Correctly prints:

10.12
10.13

UPDATE:

setScale(int, int) has not been recommended since Java 1.5, when enums were first introduced, and was finally deprecated in Java 9. You should now use setScale(int, RoundingMode) e.g:

setScale(2, RoundingMode.HALF_EVEN)

What does string::npos mean in this code?

found will be npos in case of failure to find the substring in the search string.

How to compare dates in c#

Firstly, understand that DateTime objects aren't formatted. They just store the Year, Month, Day, Hour, Minute, Second, etc as a numeric value and the formatting occurs when you want to represent it as a string somehow. You can compare DateTime objects without formatting them.

To compare an input date with DateTime.Now, you need to first parse the input into a date and then compare just the Year/Month/Day portions:

DateTime inputDate;
if(!DateTime.TryParse(inputString, out inputDate))
    throw new ArgumentException("Input string not in the correct format.");

if(inputDate.Date == DateTime.Now.Date) {
    // Same date!
}

Converting a Date object to a calendar object

it's so easy...converting a date to calendar like this:

Calendar cal=Calendar.getInstance();
DateFormat format=new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/mm/dd");
format.format(date);
cal=format.getCalendar();

Get value from JToken that may not exist (best practices)

This is pretty much what the generic method Value() is for. You get exactly the behavior you want if you combine it with nullable value types and the ?? operator:

width = jToken.Value<double?>("width") ?? 100;

How to solve '...is a 'type', which is not valid in the given context'? (C#)

You forgot to specify the variable name. It should be CERas.CERAS newCeras = new CERas.CERAS();

JavaScript calculate the day of the year (1 - 366)

/*USE THIS SCRIPT */

var today = new Date();
var first = new Date(today.getFullYear(), 0, 1);
var theDay = Math.round(((today - first) / 1000 / 60 / 60 / 24) + .5, 0);
alert("Today is the " + theDay + (theDay == 1 ? "st" : (theDay == 2 ? "nd" : (theDay == 3 ? "rd" : "th"))) + " day of the year");

how to properly display an iFrame in mobile safari

Yeah, you can't constrain the iframe itself with height and width. You should put a div around it. If you control the content in the iframe, you can put some JS within the iframe content that will tell the parent to scroll the div when the touch event is received.

like this:

The JS:

setTimeout(function () {
var startY = 0;
var startX = 0;
var b = document.body;
b.addEventListener('touchstart', function (event) {
    parent.window.scrollTo(0, 1);
    startY = event.targetTouches[0].pageY;
    startX = event.targetTouches[0].pageX;
});
b.addEventListener('touchmove', function (event) {
    event.preventDefault();
    var posy = event.targetTouches[0].pageY;
    var h = parent.document.getElementById("scroller");
    var sty = h.scrollTop;

    var posx = event.targetTouches[0].pageX;
    var stx = h.scrollLeft;
    h.scrollTop = sty - (posy - startY);
    h.scrollLeft = stx - (posx - startX);
    startY = posy;
    startX = posx;
});
}, 1000);

The HTML:

<div id="scroller" style="height: 400px; width: 100%; overflow: auto;">
<iframe height="100%" id="iframe" scrolling="no" width="100%" id="iframe" src="url" />
</div>

If you don't control the iframe content, you can use an overlay over the iframe in a similar manner, but then you can't interact with the iframe contents other than to scroll it - so you can't, for example, click links in the iframe.

It used to be that you could use two fingers to scroll within an iframe, but that doesn't work anymore.

Update: iOS 6 broke this solution for us. I've been attempting to get a new fix for it, but nothing has worked yet. In addition, it is no longer possible to debug javascript on the device since they introduced Remote Web Inspector, which requires a Mac to use.

How do you run a SQL Server query from PowerShell?

If you want to do it on your local machine instead of in the context of SQL server then I would use the following. It is what we use at my company.

$ServerName = "_ServerName_"
$DatabaseName = "_DatabaseName_"
$Query = "SELECT * FROM Table WHERE Column = ''"

#Timeout parameters
$QueryTimeout = 120
$ConnectionTimeout = 30

#Action of connecting to the Database and executing the query and returning results if there were any.
$conn=New-Object System.Data.SqlClient.SQLConnection
$ConnectionString = "Server={0};Database={1};Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout={2}" -f $ServerName,$DatabaseName,$ConnectionTimeout
$conn.ConnectionString=$ConnectionString
$conn.Open()
$cmd=New-Object system.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand($Query,$conn)
$cmd.CommandTimeout=$QueryTimeout
$ds=New-Object system.Data.DataSet
$da=New-Object system.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter($cmd)
[void]$da.fill($ds)
$conn.Close()
$ds.Tables

Just fill in the $ServerName, $DatabaseName and the $Query variables and you should be good to go.

I am not sure how we originally found this out, but there is something very similar here.

React - How to pass HTML tags in props?

You can successfully utilize React fragments for this task. Depending on the React version you use, you can use short syntax: <> or the full tag: <React.Fragment>. Works especially well if you don't want to wrap entire string within HTML tags.

<MyComponent text={<>Hello World. <u>Don't be so ruthless</u>.</>} />

Declare a variable in DB2 SQL

I'm coming from a SQL Server background also and spent the past 2 weeks figuring out how to run scripts like this in IBM Data Studio. Hope it helps.

CREATE VARIABLE v_lookupid INTEGER DEFAULT (4815162342); --where 4815162342 is your variable data 
  SELECT * FROM DB1.PERSON WHERE PERSON_ID = v_lookupid;
  SELECT * FROM DB1.PERSON_DATA WHERE PERSON_ID = v_lookupid;
  SELECT * FROM DB1.PERSON_HIST WHERE PERSON_ID = v_lookupid;
DROP VARIABLE v_lookupid; 

How to trigger an event in input text after I stop typing/writing?

There is some simple plugin I've made that does exacly that. It requires much less code than proposed solutions and it's very light (~0,6kb)

First you create Bid object than can be bumped anytime. Every bump will delay firing Bid callback for next given ammount of time.

var searchBid = new Bid(function(inputValue){
    //your action when user will stop writing for 200ms. 
    yourSpecialAction(inputValue);
}, 200); //we set delay time of every bump to 200ms

When Bid object is ready, we need to bump it somehow. Let's attach bumping to keyup event.

$("input").keyup(function(){
    searchBid.bump( $(this).val() ); //parameters passed to bump will be accessable in Bid callback
});

What happens here is:

Everytime user presses key, bid is 'delayed' (bumped) for next 200ms. If 200ms will pass without beeing 'bumped' again, callback will be fired.

Also, you've got 2 additional functions for stopping bid (if user pressed esc or clicked outside input for example) and for finishing and firing callback immediately (for example when user press enter key):

searchBid.stop();
searchBid.finish(valueToPass);

What size do you use for varchar(MAX) in your parameter declaration?

SVN Commit failed, access forbidden

You can get the "Forbidden" error if your user account lacks access permissions to a repository or repository path; it makes sense to check authorization settings for your user account. Make sure your system administrator hasn't provided you with No Access permission to the repository path.

If you are sure that permissions are set correctly, then double-check the URL you use. URLs in Apache Subversion are case-sensitive.

Additionally, I advise you to read articles on authorization in Subversion and VisualSVN Server:

Facebook login message: "URL Blocked: This redirect failed because the redirect URI is not whitelisted in the app’s Client OAuth Settings."

In my case, I was integrating Facebook login within a Rails app tutorial. I had added http://localhost:3000/adsf to my Valid OAuth Redirect URIs, but the Rails app would open the url as http://0.0.0.0:3000 and would therefore try to redirect to http://0.0.0.0:3000/asdf. After adding http://0.0.0.0:3000/asdf to the Valid OAuth Redirect URIs, or navigating to http://localhost:3000/asdf, it worked as expected.

Generating HTML email body in C#

You can use the MailDefinition class.

This is how you use it:

md.IsBodyHtml = true;
md.Subject = "Test of MailDefinition";

ListDictionary replacements = new ListDictionary();
replacements.Add("{name}", "Martin");
replacements.Add("{country}", "Denmark");

string body = "<div>Hello {name} You're from {country}.</div>";

MailMessage msg = md.CreateMailMessage("[email protected]", replacements, body, new System.Web.UI.Control());

The idea is to extract the keys of your map into an array. Sort this array. Then iterate over this sorted array, get its value pair from the unsorted map and put them into a new map. The new map will be in sorted order. The code below is it's implementation:

var unsortedMap = new Map();
unsortedMap.set('2-1', 'foo');
unsortedMap.set('0-1', 'bar');

// Initialize your keys array
var keys = [];
// Initialize your sorted maps object
var sortedMap = new Map();

// Put keys in Array
unsortedMap.forEach(function callback(value, key, map) {
    keys.push(key);
});

// Sort keys array and go through them to put in and put them in sorted map
keys.sort().map(function(key) {
    sortedMap.set(key, unsortedMap.get(key));
});

// View your sorted map
console.log(sortedMap);

How to make an ng-click event conditional?

You could try to use ng-class.
Here is my simple example:
http://plnkr.co/edit/wS3QkQ5dvHNdc6Lb8ZSF?p=preview

<div ng-repeat="object in objects">
  <span ng-class="{'disabled': object.status}" ng-click="disableIt(object)">
    {{object.value}}
  </span>
</div>

The status is a custom attribute of object, you could name it whatever you want.
The disabled in ng-class is a CSS class name, the object.status should be true or false

You could change every object's status in function disableIt.
In your Controller, you could do this:

$scope.disableIt = function(obj) {
  obj.status = !obj.status
}

Converting string format to datetime in mm/dd/yyyy

I did like this

var datetoEnter= DateTime.ParseExact(createdDate, "dd/mm/yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

How to assert greater than using JUnit Assert?

you can also try below simple soln:

previousTokenValues[1] = "1378994409108";
currentTokenValues[1] = "1378994416509";

Long prev = Long.parseLong(previousTokenValues[1]);
Long curr = Long.parseLong(currentTokenValues[1]);

Assert.assertTrue(prev  > curr );   

configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

For me it was a problem with gcc, highlighted by gcc -v. It was down to upgrading Xcode recently this post said to do sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app which fixed the issue.

Changing fonts in ggplot2

You just missed an initialization step I think.

You can see what fonts you have available with the command windowsFonts(). For example mine looks like this when I started looking at this:

> windowsFonts()
$serif
[1] "TT Times New Roman"

$sans
[1] "TT Arial"

$mono
[1] "TT Courier New"

After intalling the package extraFont and running font_import like this (it took like 5 minutes):

library(extrafont)
font_import()
loadfonts(device = "win")

I had many more available - arguable too many, certainly too many to list here.

Then I tried your code:

library(ggplot2)
library(extrafont)
loadfonts(device = "win")

a <- ggplot(mtcars, aes(x=wt, y=mpg)) + geom_point() +
  ggtitle("Fuel Efficiency of 32 Cars") +
  xlab("Weight (x1000 lb)") + ylab("Miles per Gallon") +
  theme(text=element_text(size=16,  family="Comic Sans MS"))
print(a)

yielding this:

enter image description here

Update:

You can find the name of a font you need for the family parameter of element_text with the following code snippet:

> names(wf[wf=="TT Times New Roman"])
[1] "serif"

And then:

library(ggplot2)
library(extrafont)
loadfonts(device = "win")

a <- ggplot(mtcars, aes(x=wt, y=mpg)) + geom_point() +
  ggtitle("Fuel Efficiency of 32 Cars") +
  xlab("Weight (x1000 lb)") + ylab("Miles per Gallon") +
  theme(text=element_text(size=16,  family="serif"))
print(a)

yields: enter image description here

List of foreign keys and the tables they reference in Oracle DB

Binning column with python pandas

You can use pandas.cut:

bins = [0, 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100]
df['binned'] = pd.cut(df['percentage'], bins)
print (df)
   percentage     binned
0       46.50   (25, 50]
1       44.20   (25, 50]
2      100.00  (50, 100]
3       42.12   (25, 50]

bins = [0, 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100]
labels = [1,2,3,4,5,6]
df['binned'] = pd.cut(df['percentage'], bins=bins, labels=labels)
print (df)
   percentage binned
0       46.50      5
1       44.20      5
2      100.00      6
3       42.12      5

Or numpy.searchsorted:

bins = [0, 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100]
df['binned'] = np.searchsorted(bins, df['percentage'].values)
print (df)
   percentage  binned
0       46.50       5
1       44.20       5
2      100.00       6
3       42.12       5

...and then value_counts or groupby and aggregate size:

s = pd.cut(df['percentage'], bins=bins).value_counts()
print (s)
(25, 50]     3
(50, 100]    1
(10, 25]     0
(5, 10]      0
(1, 5]       0
(0, 1]       0
Name: percentage, dtype: int64

s = df.groupby(pd.cut(df['percentage'], bins=bins)).size()
print (s)
percentage
(0, 1]       0
(1, 5]       0
(5, 10]      0
(10, 25]     0
(25, 50]     3
(50, 100]    1
dtype: int64

By default cut return categorical.

Series methods like Series.value_counts() will use all categories, even if some categories are not present in the data, operations in categorical.

ascending/descending in LINQ - can one change the order via parameter?

In terms of how this is implemented, this changes the method - from OrderBy/ThenBy to OrderByDescending/ThenByDescending. However, you can apply the sort separately to the main query...

var qry = from .... // or just dataList.AsEnumerable()/AsQueryable()

if(sortAscending) {
    qry = qry.OrderBy(x=>x.Property);
} else {
    qry = qry.OrderByDescending(x=>x.Property);
}

Any use? You can create the entire "order" dynamically, but it is more involved...

Another trick (mainly appropriate to LINQ-to-Objects) is to use a multiplier, of -1/1. This is only really useful for numeric data, but is a cheeky way of achieving the same outcome.

How do I get an apk file from an Android device?

MySQL combine two columns and add into a new column

Entity Framework Refresh context?

The best way to refresh entities in your context is to dispose your context and create a new one.

If you really need to refresh some entity and you are using Code First approach with DbContext class, you can use

    public static void ReloadEntity<TEntity>(
        this DbContext context, 
        TEntity entity)
        where TEntity : class
    {
        context.Entry(entity).Reload();
    }

To reload collection navigation properties, you can use

    public static void ReloadNavigationProperty<TEntity, TElement>(
        this DbContext context, 
        TEntity entity, 
        Expression<Func<TEntity, ICollection<TElement>>> navigationProperty)
        where TEntity : class
        where TElement : class
    {
        context.Entry(entity).Collection<TElement>(navigationProperty).Query();
    }

Getting values from query string in an url using AngularJS $location

If your $location.search() is not working, then make sure you have the following:

1) html5Mode(true) is configured in app's module config

appModule.config(['$locationProvider', function($locationProvider) {
   $locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
}]);

2) <base href="/"> is present in your HTML

<head>
  <base href="/">
  ...
</head>

IN vs ANY operator in PostgreSQL

(Neither IN nor ANY is an "operator". A "construct" or "syntax element".)

Logically, quoting the manual:

IN is equivalent to = ANY.

But there are two syntax variants of IN and two variants of ANY. Details:

IN taking a set is equivalent to = ANY taking a set, as demonstrated here:

But the second variant of each is not equivalent to the other. The second variant of the ANY construct takes an array (must be an actual array type), while the second variant of IN takes a comma-separated list of values. This leads to different restrictions in passing values and can also lead to different query plans in special cases:

ANY is more versatile

The ANY construct is far more versatile, as it can be combined with various operators, not just =. Example:

SELECT 'foo' LIKE ANY('{FOO,bar,%oo%}');

For a big number of values, providing a set scales better for each:

Related:

Inversion / opposite / exclusion

"Find rows where id is in the given array":

SELECT * FROM tbl WHERE id = ANY (ARRAY[1, 2]);

Inversion: "Find rows where id is not in the array":

SELECT * FROM tbl WHERE id <> ALL (ARRAY[1, 2]);
SELECT * FROM tbl WHERE id <> ALL ('{1, 2}');  -- equivalent array literal
SELECT * FROM tbl WHERE NOT (id = ANY ('{1, 2}'));

All three equivalent. The first with array constructor, the other two with array literal. The data type can be derived from context unambiguously. Else, an explicit cast may be required, like '{1,2}'::int[].

Rows with id IS NULL do not pass either of these expressions. To include NULL values additionally:

SELECT * FROM tbl WHERE (id = ANY ('{1, 2}')) IS NOT TRUE;

Get an array of list element contents in jQuery

var optionTexts = [];
$("ul li").each(function() { optionTexts.push($(this).text()) });

...should do the trick. To get the final output you're looking for, join() plus some concatenation will do nicely:

var quotedCSV = '"' + optionTexts.join('", "') + '"';

Read Excel sheet in Powershell

This assumes that the content is in column B on each sheet (since it's not clear how you determine the column on each sheet.) and the last row of that column is also the last row of the sheet.

$xlCellTypeLastCell = 11 
$startRow = 5 
$col = 2 

$excel = New-Object -Com Excel.Application
$wb = $excel.Workbooks.Open("C:\Users\Administrator\my_test.xls")

for ($i = 1; $i -le $wb.Sheets.Count; $i++)
{
    $sh = $wb.Sheets.Item($i)
    $endRow = $sh.UsedRange.SpecialCells($xlCellTypeLastCell).Row
    $city = $sh.Cells.Item($startRow, $col).Value2
    $rangeAddress = $sh.Cells.Item($startRow + 1, $col).Address() + ":" + $sh.Cells.Item($endRow, $col).Address()
    $sh.Range($rangeAddress).Value2 | foreach 
    {
        New-Object PSObject -Property @{ City = $city; Area = $_ }
    }
}

$excel.Workbooks.Close()

How can an html element fill out 100% of the remaining screen height, using css only?

The best solution I found so far is setting a footer element at the bottom of the page and then evaluate the difference of the offset of the footer and the element we need to expand. e.g.

The html file

<div id="contents"></div>
<div id="footer"></div>

The css file

#footer {
    position: fixed;
    bottom: 0;
    width: 100%;
}

The js file (using jquery)

var contents = $('#contents'); 
var footer = $('#footer');
contents.css('height', (footer.offset().top - contents.offset().top) + 'px');

You might also like to update the height of the contents element on each window resize, so...

$(window).on('resize', function() {
  contents.css('height', (footer.offset().top -contents.offset().top) + 'px');
});

addRemoteImage = function(event) {
  var textbox = document.querySelector("input[name='input-image']"),
    imageUrl = textbox.value,
    errorDiv = document.querySelector("div[name='input-image-error']");
  if (imageUrl == "") {
    errorDiv.style.display = "block";
    textbox.classList.add('text-error');
    setTimeout(function() {
      errorDiv.style.removeProperty('display');
      textbox.classList.remove('text-error');
    }, 3000);
  } else {
    textbox.classList.remove('text-error');
  }
}

How can I temporarily disable a foreign key constraint in MySQL?

A very simple solution with phpMyAdmin:

  • In your table, go to the SQL tab
  • After you edit the SQL command that you want to run, there is a check box next to GO, named 'Enable foreign key checks' .
  • Uncheck this check box and run your SQL. It will be automatically rechecked after executing.

How to clear https proxy setting of NPM?

Got exactly the same problem, I keep seeing my proxy configuration even after removing the npmrc file and deleting the keys.

I found out that npm were using windows env key http-proxy by default.

So go in Computer->Properties->Advanced system settings->Environement variables and check there is no http-proxy key configured.

JSON.stringify output to div in pretty print way

Consider your REST API returns:

{"Intent":{"Command":"search","SubIntent":null}}

Then you can do the following to print it in a nice format:

<pre id="ciResponseText">Output will de displayed here.</pre>   

var ciResponseText = document.getElementById('ciResponseText');
var obj = JSON.parse(http.response);
ciResponseText.innerHTML = JSON.stringify(obj, undefined, 2);   

Which font is used in Visual Studio Code Editor and how to change fonts?

In VSCode if "editor.fontFamily": "" is blank, the font size will NOT work. Set a font family to change the size.

"editor.fontFamily": "Verdana", or "editor.fontFamily": "Monaco",

Really, use whatever font family you like.

Then "editor.fontSize": 16, should work.

How do I search for a pattern within a text file using Python combining regex & string/file operations and store instances of the pattern?

Doing it in one bulk read:

import re

textfile = open(filename, 'r')
filetext = textfile.read()
textfile.close()
matches = re.findall("(<(\d{4,5})>)?", filetext)

Line by line:

import re

textfile = open(filename, 'r')
matches = []
reg = re.compile("(<(\d{4,5})>)?")
for line in textfile:
    matches += reg.findall(line)
textfile.close()

But again, the matches that returns will not be useful for anything except counting unless you added an offset counter:

import re

textfile = open(filename, 'r')
matches = []
offset = 0
reg = re.compile("(<(\d{4,5})>)?")
for line in textfile:
    matches += [(reg.findall(line),offset)]
    offset += len(line)
textfile.close()

But it still just makes more sense to read the whole file in at once.

How to inject JPA EntityManager using spring

Yes, although it's full of gotchas, since JPA is a bit peculiar. It's very much worth reading the documentation on injecting JPA EntityManager and EntityManagerFactory, without explicit Spring dependencies in your code:

http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/3.0.x/spring-framework-reference/html/orm.html#orm-jpa

This allows you to either inject the EntityManagerFactory, or else inject a thread-safe, transactional proxy of an EntityManager directly. The latter makes for simpler code, but means more Spring plumbing is required.

How to escape regular expression special characters using javascript?

Drop multiple columns in pandas

You don't need to wrap it in a list with [..], just provide the subselection of the columns index:

df.drop(df.columns[[1, 69]], axis=1, inplace=True)

as the index object is already regarded as list-like.

Printing tuple with string formatting in Python

Many answers given above were correct. The right way to do it is:

>>> thetuple = (1, 2, 3)
>>> print "this is a tuple: %s" % (thetuple,)
this is a tuple: (1, 2, 3)

However, there was a dispute over if the '%' String operator is obsolete. As many have pointed out, it is definitely not obsolete, as the '%' String operator is easier to combine a String statement with a list data.

Example:

>>> tup = (1,2,3)
>>> print "First: %d, Second: %d, Third: %d" % tup
First: 1, Second: 2, Third: 3

However, using the .format() function, you will end up with a verbose statement.

Example:

>>> tup = (1,2,3)
>>> print "First: %d, Second: %d, Third: %d" % tup
>>> print 'First: {}, Second: {}, Third: {}'.format(1,2,3)
>>> print 'First: {0[0]}, Second: {0[1]}, Third: {0[2]}'.format(tup)

First: 1, Second: 2, Third: 3
First: 1, Second: 2, Third: 3
First: 1, Second: 2, Third: 3

Further more, '%' string operator also useful for us to validate the data type such as %s, %d, %i, while .format() only support two conversion flags: '!s' and '!r'.

How to show progress bar while loading, using ajax

This link describes how you can add a progress event listener to the xhr object using jquery.

$.ajax({
    xhr: function() {
        var xhr = new window.XMLHttpRequest();

        // Upload progress
        xhr.upload.addEventListener("progress", function(evt){
            if (evt.lengthComputable) {
                var percentComplete = evt.loaded / evt.total;
                //Do something with upload progress
                console.log(percentComplete);
            }
       }, false);
       
       // Download progress
       xhr.addEventListener("progress", function(evt){
           if (evt.lengthComputable) {
               var percentComplete = evt.loaded / evt.total;
               // Do something with download progress
               console.log(percentComplete);
           }
       }, false);
       
       return xhr;
    },
    type: 'POST',
    url: "/",
    data: {},
    success: function(data){
        // Do something success-ish
    }
});

Opposite of append in jquery

You could use remove(). More information on jQuery remove().

$(this).children("ul").remove();

Note that this will remove all ul elements that are children.

How to set underline text on textview?

Android supports string formatting using HTML tags in the strings xml. So the following would work:

<string name="label_testinghtmltags"><u>This text has an underscore</u></string>

Then you just use it as you normally would. You can see more in the documentation here

Update:

To further expand on the answer, the documentation says:

... the format(String, Object...) and getString(int, Object...) methods strip all the style information from the string. . The work-around to this is to write the HTML tags with escaped entities, which are then recovered with fromHtml(String), after the formatting takes place

For example, the resulting string from the following code snippet will not show up as containing underscored elements:

<string name="html_bold_test">This <u>%1$s</u> has an underscore</string>
String result = getString(R.string.html_bold_test, "text")

However the result from the following snippet would contain underscores:

<string name="html_bold_test">This &lt;u> %1$s &lt;/u> has an underscore</string>
String result = Html.fromHtml(getString(R.string.html_bold_test, "text"))

How to select specific form element in jQuery?

I know the question is about setting a input but just in case if you want to set a combobox then (I search net for it and didn't find anything and this place seems a right place to guide others)

If you had a form with ID attribute set (e.g. frm1) and you wanted to set a specific specific combobox, with no ID set but name attribute set (e.g. district); then use

_x000D_
_x000D_
$("#frm1 select[name='district'] option[value='NWFP']").attr('selected', true);
_x000D_
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.2.1/jquery.min.js"></script>_x000D_
    <form id="frm1">_x000D_
        <select name="district">_x000D_
            <option value="" disabled="" selected="" hidden="">Area ...</option>_x000D_
            <option value="NWFP">NWFP</option>_x000D_
            <option value="FATA">FATA</option>_x000D_
        </select>_x000D_
    </form>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

What is the difference between map and flatMap and a good use case for each?

map returns RDD of equal number of elements while flatMap may not.

An example use case for flatMap Filter out missing or incorrect data.

An example use case for map Use in wide variety of cases where is the number of elements of input and output are the same.

number.csv

1
2
3
-
4
-
5

map.py adds all numbers in add.csv.

from operator import *

def f(row):
  try:
    return float(row)
  except Exception:
    return 0

rdd = sc.textFile('a.csv').map(f)

print(rdd.count())      # 7
print(rdd.reduce(add))  # 15.0

flatMap.py uses flatMap to filtered out missing data before addition. Less numbers are added compared to the previous version.

from operator import *

def f(row):
  try:
    return [float(row)]
  except Exception:
    return []

rdd = sc.textFile('a.csv').flatMap(f)

print(rdd.count())      # 5
print(rdd.reduce(add))  # 15.0

Tool for sending multipart/form-data request

The usual error is one tries to put Content-Type: {multipart/form-data} into the header of the post request. That will fail, it is best to let Postman do it for you. For example:

Works should remove content type from the Header

Cordova : Requirements check failed for JDK 1.8 or greater

In Linux (Debian/Ubuntu) this can be solved by selecting a Java 1.8 SDK in

sudo update-alternatives --config javac

Changing JAVA_HOME env variable directly does not seem to have any effect.

EDIT: responding to the comments: This probably has something to do with the fact that new Debian (and apparently Ubuntu) Java installations through the package manager do not use the JAVA_HOME enviroment variable to determine the location of the JRE. See this and this post for more info.

Using Python Requests: Sessions, Cookies, and POST

I don't know how stubhub's api works, but generally it should look like this:

s = requests.Session()
data = {"login":"my_login", "password":"my_password"}
url = "http://example.net/login"
r = s.post(url, data=data)

Now your session contains cookies provided by login form. To access cookies of this session simply use

s.cookies

Any further actions like another requests will have this cookie

What is an HttpHandler in ASP.NET

An ASP.NET HTTP handler is the process (frequently referred to as the "endpoint") that runs in response to a request made to an ASP.NET Web application. The most common handler is an ASP.NET page handler that processes .aspx files. When users request an .aspx file, the request is processed by the page via the page handler.

The ASP.NET page handler is only one type of handler. ASP.NET comes with several other built-in handlers such as the Web service handler for .asmx files.

You can create custom HTTP handlers when you want special handling that you can identify using file name extensions in your application. For example, the following scenarios would be good uses of custom HTTP handlers:

RSS feeds To create an RSS feed for a site, you can create a handler that emits RSS-formatted XML. You can then bind the .rss extension (for example) in your application to the custom handler. When users send a request to your site that ends in .rss, ASP.NET will call your handler to process the request.

Image server If you want your Web application to serve images in a variety of sizes, you can write a custom handler to resize images and then send them back to the user as the handler's response.

HTTP handlers have access to the application context, including the requesting user's identity (if known), application state, and session information. When an HTTP handler is requested, ASP.NET calls the ProcessRequest method on the appropriate handler. The handler's ProcessRequest method creates a response, which is sent back to the requesting browser. As with any page request, the response goes through any HTTP modules that have subscribed to events that occur after the handler has run.

How do I increase the contrast of an image in Python OpenCV

Brightness and contrast can be adjusted using alpha (a) and beta (ß), respectively. The expression can be written as

enter image description here

OpenCV already implements this as cv2.convertScaleAbs(), just provide user defined alpha and beta values

import cv2

image = cv2.imread('1.jpg')

alpha = 1.5 # Contrast control (1.0-3.0)
beta = 0 # Brightness control (0-100)

adjusted = cv2.convertScaleAbs(image, alpha=alpha, beta=beta)

cv2.imshow('original', image)
cv2.imshow('adjusted', adjusted)
cv2.waitKey()

Before -> After

enter image description here enter image description here

Note: For automatic brightness/contrast adjustment take a look at automatic contrast and brightness adjustment of a color photo

IIS7 Settings File Locations

It sounds like you're looking for applicationHost.config, which is located in C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config.

Yes, it's an XML file, and yes, editing the file by hand will affect the IIS config after a restart. You can think of IIS Manager as a GUI front-end for editing applicationHost.config and web.config.

Session TimeOut in web.xml

You can see many options as answer for your question, however you can use "-1" where the session never expires. Since you do not know how much time it will take for the thread to complete. E.g.:

   <session-config>
        <session-timeout>-1</session-timeout>
    </session-config>

Or if you don't want a timeout happening for some purpose:

<session-config>
    <session-timeout>0</session-timeout>
</session-config>

Another option could be increase the number to 1000, etc, etc, bla, bla, bla.

But if you really want to stop and you consider that is unnecessary for your application to force the user to logout, just add a logout button and the user will decide when to leave.

Here is what you can do to solve the problem if you do not need to force to logout, and in you are loading files that could take time base on server and your computer speed and the size of the file.

<!-- sets the default session timeout to 60 minutes. -->
   <!-- <session-config>
     <session-timeout>60</session-timeout>
   </session-config> -->

Determine if Android app is being used for the first time

Here's some code for this -

String path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() +
                    "/Android/data/myapp/files/myfile.txt";

boolean exists = (new File(path)).exists(); 

if (!exists) {
    doSomething();                                      
}
else {
    doSomethingElse();
}

How to split a string with angularJS

You may want to wrap that functionality up into a filter, this way you don't have to put the mySplit function in all of your controllers. For example

angular.module('myModule', [])
    .filter('split', function() {
        return function(input, splitChar, splitIndex) {
            // do some bounds checking here to ensure it has that index
            return input.split(splitChar)[splitIndex];
        }
    });

From here, you can use a filter as you originally intended

{{test | split:',':0}}
{{test | split:',':0}}

How to hide console window in python?

This will hide your console. Implement these lines in your code first to start hiding your console at first.

import win32gui, win32con

the_program_to_hide = win32gui.GetForegroundWindow()
win32gui.ShowWindow(the_program_to_hide , win32con.SW_HIDE)

Update May 2020 :

If you've got trouble on pip install win32con on Command Prompt, you can simply pip install pywin32.Then on your python script, execute import win32.lib.win32con as win32con instead of import win32con.

To show back your program again win32con.SW_SHOW works fine:

win32gui.ShowWindow(the_program_to_hide , win32con.SW_SHOW)

Where to change the value of lower_case_table_names=2 on windows xampp

On linux I cannot set lower_case_table_names to 2 (it reverts to 0), but I can set it to 1.

Before changing this setting, do a complete dump of all databases, and drop all databases. You won't be able to drop them after setting lower_case_table_names to 1, because any uppercase characters in database or table names will prevent them from being referenced.

Then set lower_case_table_names to 1, restart MySQL, and re-load your data, which will convert everything to lowercase, including any subsequent queries made.

How can I login to a website with Python?

Let me try to make it simple, suppose URL of the site is www.example.com and you need to sign up by filling username and password, so we go to the login page say http://www.example.com/login.php now and view it's source code and search for the action URL it will be in form tag something like

 <form name="loginform" method="post" action="userinfo.php">

now take userinfo.php to make absolute URL which will be 'http://example.com/userinfo.php', now run a simple python script

import requests
url = 'http://example.com/userinfo.php'
values = {'username': 'user',
          'password': 'pass'}

r = requests.post(url, data=values)
print r.content

I Hope that this helps someone somewhere someday.

Convert form data to JavaScript object with jQuery

A more modern way is to use reduce with serializeArray() in this way:

$('#formid').serializeArray()
    .reduce((a, x) => ({ ...a, [x.name]: x.value }), {});

It will help for many of the 'normal' cases.

For the very common instance where there are multiple tags with duplicate name attributes, this is not enough.

Since inputs with duplicate name attributes are normally inside some 'wrapper' (div, ul, tr, ...), like in this exemple:

  <div class="wrapperClass">
    <input type="text" name="one">
    <input type="text" name="two">
  </div>
  <div class="wrapperClass">
    <input type="text" name="one">
    <input type="text" name="two">
  </div>

one can use reduce with the map operator to iterate on them:

$(".wrapperClass").map(function () {
  return $(this).find('*').serializeArray()
    .reduce((a, x) => ({ ...a, [x.name]: x.value }), {});
}).get();

The result will be an array of objects in the format:

  [
    {
      one: valueOfOne,
      two: valueOfTwo
    }, {
      one: valueOfOne,
      two: valueOfTwo
    }
  ]

The .get() operator is used in conjunction with map to get the basic array instead of the jQuery object which gives a cleaner result. jQuery docs

What is the default encoding of the JVM?

You can use this to print out the JVM defaults

import java.nio.charset.Charset;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.FileInputStream;

public class PrintCharSets {
        public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
                System.out.println("file.encoding=" + System.getProperty("file.encoding"));
                System.out.println("Charset.defaultCharset=" + Charset.defaultCharset());
                System.out.println("InputStreamReader.getEncoding=" + new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream("./PrintCharSets.java")).getEncoding());
        }
}

Compile and Run

javac PrintCharSets.java && java PrintCharSets

HikariCP - connection is not available

I managed to fix it finally. The problem is not related to HikariCP. The problem persisted because of some complex methods in REST controllers executing multiple changes in DB through JPA repositories. For some reasons calls to these interfaces resulted in a growing number of "freezed" active connections, exhausting the pool. Either annotating these methods as @Transactional or enveloping all the logic in a single call to transactional service method seem to solve the problem.

Kill python interpeter in linux from the terminal

If you want to show the name of processes and kill them by the command of the kill, I recommended using this script to kill all python3 running process and set your ram memory free :

ps auxww | grep 'python3' | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9

"Parameter" vs "Argument"

A parameter is the variable which is part of the method’s signature (method declaration). An argument is an expression used when calling the method.

Consider the following code:

void Foo(int i, float f)
{
    // Do things
}

void Bar()
{
    int anInt = 1;
    Foo(anInt, 2.0);
}

Here i and f are the parameters, and anInt and 2.0 are the arguments.

How to set recurring schedule for xlsm file using Windows Task Scheduler

I referred a blog by Kim for doing this and its working fine for me. See the blog

The automated execution of macro can be accomplished with the help of a VB Script file which is being invoked by Windows Task Scheduler at specified times.

Remember to replace 'YourWorkbook' with the name of the workbook you want to open and replace 'YourMacro' with the name of the macro you want to run.

See the VB Script File (just named it RunExcel.VBS):

    ' Create a WshShell to get the current directory
Dim WshShell
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

' Create an Excel instance
Dim myExcelWorker
Set myExcelWorker = CreateObject("Excel.Application") 

' Disable Excel UI elements
myExcelWorker.DisplayAlerts = False
myExcelWorker.AskToUpdateLinks = False
myExcelWorker.AlertBeforeOverwriting = False
myExcelWorker.FeatureInstall = msoFeatureInstallNone

' Tell Excel what the current working directory is 
' (otherwise it can't find the files)
Dim strSaveDefaultPath
Dim strPath
strSaveDefaultPath = myExcelWorker.DefaultFilePath
strPath = WshShell.CurrentDirectory
myExcelWorker.DefaultFilePath = strPath

' Open the Workbook specified on the command-line 
Dim oWorkBook
Dim strWorkerWB
strWorkerWB = strPath & "\YourWorkbook.xls"

Set oWorkBook = myExcelWorker.Workbooks.Open(strWorkerWB)

' Build the macro name with the full path to the workbook
Dim strMacroName
strMacroName = "'" & strPath & "\YourWorkbook" & "!Sheet1.YourMacro"
on error resume next 
   ' Run the calculation macro
   myExcelWorker.Run strMacroName
   if err.number <> 0 Then
      ' Error occurred - just close it down.
   End If
   err.clear
on error goto 0 

oWorkBook.Save 

myExcelWorker.DefaultFilePath = strSaveDefaultPath

' Clean up and shut down
Set oWorkBook = Nothing

' Don’t Quit() Excel if there are other Excel instances 
' running, Quit() will shut those down also
if myExcelWorker.Workbooks.Count = 0 Then
   myExcelWorker.Quit
End If

Set myExcelWorker = Nothing
Set WshShell = Nothing

You can test this VB Script from command prompt:

>> cscript.exe RunExcel.VBS

Once you have the VB Script file and workbook tested so that it does what you want, you can then use Microsoft Task Scheduler (Control Panel-> Administrative Tools--> Task Scheduler) to execute ‘cscript.exe RunExcel.vbs’ automatically for you.

Please note the path of the macro should be in correct format and inside single quotes like:

strMacroName = "'" & strPath & "\YourWorkBook.xlsm'" & 
"!ModuleName.MacroName"

Drawing rotated text on a HTML5 canvas

Here's an HTML5 alternative to homebrew: http://www.rgraph.net/ You might be able to reverse engineer their methods....

You might also consider something like Flot (http://code.google.com/p/flot/) or GCharts: (http://www.maxb.net/scripts/jgcharts/include/demo/#1) It's not quite as cool, but fully backwards compatible and scary easy to implement.

Dynamic SQL results into temp table in SQL Stored procedure

Try:

SELECT into #T1 execute ('execute ' + @SQLString )

And this smells real bad like an sql injection vulnerability.


correction (per @CarpeDiem's comment):

INSERT into #T1 execute ('execute ' + @SQLString )

also, omit the 'execute' if the sql string is something other than a procedure

How to properly compare two Integers in Java?

We should always go for equals() method for comparison for two integers.Its the recommended practice.

If we compare two integers using == that would work for certain range of integer values (Integer from -128 to 127) due to JVM's internal optimisation.

Please see examples:

Case 1:

Integer a = 100; Integer b = 100;

if (a == b) {
    System.out.println("a and b are equal");
} else {
   System.out.println("a and b are not equal");
}

In above case JVM uses value of a and b from cached pool and return the same object instance(therefore memory address) of integer object and we get both are equal.Its an optimisation JVM does for certain range values.

Case 2: In this case, a and b are not equal because it does not come with the range from -128 to 127.

Integer a = 220; Integer b = 220;

if (a == b) {
    System.out.println("a and b are equal");
} else {
   System.out.println("a and b are not equal");
}

Proper way:

Integer a = 200;             
Integer b = 200;  
System.out.println("a == b? " + a.equals(b)); // true

I hope this helps.

Converting Epoch time into the datetime

>>> datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(1347517370).strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
'2012-09-13 14:22:50' # Local time

To get UTC:

>>> datetime.datetime.utcfromtimestamp(1347517370).strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
  '2012-09-13 06:22:50'

How to browse for a file in java swing library?

The following example creates a file chooser and displays it as first an open-file dialog and then as a save-file dialog:

String filename = File.separator+"tmp";
JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser(new File(filename));

// Show open dialog; this method does not return until the dialog is closed
fc.showOpenDialog(frame);
File selFile = fc.getSelectedFile();

// Show save dialog; this method does not return until the dialog is closed
fc.showSaveDialog(frame);
selFile = fc.getSelectedFile();

Here is a more elaborate example that creates two buttons that create and show file chooser dialogs.

// This action creates and shows a modal open-file dialog.
public class OpenFileAction extends AbstractAction {
    JFrame frame;
    JFileChooser chooser;

    OpenFileAction(JFrame frame, JFileChooser chooser) {
        super("Open...");
        this.chooser = chooser;
        this.frame = frame;
    }

    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
        // Show dialog; this method does not return until dialog is closed
        chooser.showOpenDialog(frame);

        // Get the selected file
        File file = chooser.getSelectedFile();
    }
};

// This action creates and shows a modal save-file dialog.
public class SaveFileAction extends AbstractAction {
    JFileChooser chooser;
    JFrame frame;

    SaveFileAction(JFrame frame, JFileChooser chooser) {
        super("Save As...");
        this.chooser = chooser;
        this.frame = frame;
    }

    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
        // Show dialog; this method does not return until dialog is closed
        chooser.showSaveDialog(frame);

        // Get the selected file
        File file = chooser.getSelectedFile();
    }
};

How to reference a method in javadoc?

The general format, from the @link section of the javadoc documentation, is:

{@link package.class#member label}

Examples

Method in the same class:

/** See also {@link #myMethod(String)}. */
void foo() { ... }

Method in a different class, either in the same package or imported:

/** See also {@link MyOtherClass#myMethod(String)}. */
void foo() { ... }

Method in a different package and not imported:

/** See also {@link com.mypackage.YetAnotherClass#myMethod(String)}. */
void foo() { ... }

Label linked to method, in plain text rather than code font:

/** See also this {@linkplain #myMethod(String) implementation}. */
void foo() { ... }

A chain of method calls, as in your question. We have to specify labels for the links to methods outside this class, or we get getFoo().Foo.getBar().Bar.getBaz(). But these labels can be fragile during refactoring -- see "Labels" below.

/**
 * A convenience method, equivalent to 
 * {@link #getFoo()}.{@link Foo#getBar() getBar()}.{@link Bar#getBaz() getBaz()}.
 * @return baz
 */
public Baz fooBarBaz()

Labels

Automated refactoring may not affect labels. This includes renaming the method, class or package; and changing the method signature.

Therefore, provide a label only if you want different text than the default.

For example, you might link from human language to code:

/** You can also {@linkplain #getFoo() get the current foo}. */
void setFoo( Foo foo ) { ... }

Or you might link from a code sample with text different than the default, as shown above under "A chain of method calls." However, this can be fragile while APIs are evolving.

Type erasure and #member

If the method signature includes parameterized types, use the erasure of those types in the javadoc @link. For example:

int bar( Collection<Integer> receiver ) { ... }

/** See also {@link #bar(Collection)}. */
void foo() { ... }

Override console.log(); for production

Or if you just want to redefine the behavior of the console (in order to add logs for example) You can do something like that:

// define a new console
var console=(function(oldCons){
    return {
        log: function(text){
            oldCons.log(text);
            // Your code
        },
        info: function (text) {
            oldCons.info(text);
            // Your code
        },
        warn: function (text) {
            oldCons.warn(text);
            // Your code
        },
        error: function (text) {
            oldCons.error(text);
            // Your code
        }
    };
}(window.console));

//Then redefine the old console
window.console = console;

Do we need to execute Commit statement after Update in SQL Server

Sql server unlike oracle does not need commits unless you are using transactions.
Immediatly after your update statement the table will be commited, don't use the commit command in this scenario.

Running code after Spring Boot starts

Why not just create a bean that starts your monitor on initialization, something like:

@Component
public class Monitor {
    @Autowired private SomeService service

    @PostConstruct
    public void init(){
        // start your monitoring in here
    }
}

the init method will not be called until any autowiring is done for the bean.

How can I make my own event in C#?

You can declare an event with the following code:

public event EventHandler MyOwnEvent;

A custom delegate type instead of EventHandler can be used if needed.

You can find detailed information/tutorials on the use of events in .NET in the article Events Tutorial (MSDN).

JNI and Gradle in Android Studio

In my case, I'm on Windows and following the answer by Cameron above only works if you use the full name of the ndk-build which is ndk-build.cmd. I have to clean and rebuild the project, then restart the emulator before getting the app to work (Actually I imported the sample HelloJni from NDK, into Android Studio). However, make sure the path to NDK does not contain space.

Finally, my build.gradle is full listed as below:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 21
    buildToolsVersion "21.1.2"

    defaultConfig {
        applicationId "com.example.hellojni"
        minSdkVersion 4
        targetSdkVersion 4

        ndk {
            moduleName "hello-jni"
        }

        testApplicationId "com.example.hellojni.tests"
        testInstrumentationRunner "android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner"
    }
    sourceSets.main {
        jni.srcDirs = [] // This prevents the auto generation of Android.mk
//        sourceSets.main.jni.srcDirs = []
        jniLibs.srcDir 'src/main/libs' // This is not necessary unless you have precompiled libraries in your project.
    }

    task buildNative(type: Exec, description: 'Compile JNI source via NDK') {
        def ndkDir = android.plugin.ndkFolder
        commandLine "$ndkDir/ndk-build.cmd",
                '-C', file('src/main/jni').absolutePath, // Change src/main/jni the relative path to your jni source
                '-j', Runtime.runtime.availableProcessors(),
                'all',
                'NDK_DEBUG=1'
    }

    task cleanNative(type: Exec, description: 'Clean JNI object files') {
        def ndkDir = android.plugin.ndkFolder

                'clean'
    }

    clean.dependsOn 'cleanNative'

    tasks.withType(JavaCompile) {

    }

}

How to use bluetooth to connect two iPhone?

Check out the BeamIt open source project. It will connect via bluetooth and WIFI (although it claims it does not do WIFI) and I have verified that it works well in my projects. It will allow peer to peer contact easily.

As for multiple connections, it is possible, but you will have to edit the BeamIt source code to make it possible. I suggest reading the GameKit programming guide

How do a LDAP search/authenticate against this LDAP in Java

You can also use the following code :

package com.agileinfotech.bsviewer.ldap;

import java.util.Hashtable;
import java.util.ResourceBundle;

import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.naming.NamingException;
import javax.naming.directory.DirContext;
import javax.naming.directory.InitialDirContext;

public class LDAPLoginAuthentication {
    public LDAPLoginAuthentication() {
        // TODO Auto-generated constructor
    }

    ResourceBundle resBundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle("settings");

    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    public String authenticateUser(String username, String password) {
        String strUrl = "success";
        Hashtable env = new Hashtable(11);
        boolean b = false;
        String Securityprinciple = "cn=" + username + "," + resBundle.getString("UserSearch");
        env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, resBundle.getString("InitialContextFactory"));
        env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, resBundle.getString("Provider_url"));
        env.put(Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION, "simple");
        env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, Securityprinciple);
        env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, password);

        try {
            // Create initial context
            DirContext ctx = new InitialDirContext(env);
            // Close the context when we're done
            b = true;
            ctx.close();

        } catch (NamingException e) {
            b = false;
        } finally {
            if (b) {
                strUrl = "success";
            } else {
                strUrl = "failer";
            }
        }
        return strUrl;
    }
}

Benefits of using the conditional ?: (ternary) operator

The conditional operator is great for short conditions, like this:

varA = boolB ? valC : valD;

I use it occasionally because it takes less time to write something that way... unfortunately, this branching can sometimes be missed by another developer browsing over your code. Plus, code isn't usually that short, so I usually help readability by putting the ? and : on separate lines, like this:

doSomeStuffToSomething(shouldSomethingBeDone()
    ? getTheThingThatNeedsStuffDone()
    : getTheOtherThingThatNeedsStuffDone());

However, the big advantage to using if/else blocks (and why I prefer them) is that it's easier to come in later and add some additional logic to the branch,

if (shouldSomethingBeDone()) {
    doSomeStuffToSomething(getTheThingThatNeedsStuffDone());
    doSomeAdditionalStuff();
} else {
doSomeStuffToSomething(getTheOtherThingThatNeedsStuffDone());
}

or add another condition:

if (shouldSomethingBeDone()) {
    doSomeStuffToSomething(getTheThingThatNeedsStuffDone());
    doSomeAdditionalStuff();
} else if (shouldThisOtherThingBeDone()){
    doSomeStuffToSomething(getTheOtherThingThatNeedsStuffDone());
}

So, in the end, it's about convenience for you now (shorter to use :?) vs. convenience for you (and others) later. It's a judgment call... but like all other code-formatting issues, the only real rule is to be consistent, and be visually courteous to those who have to maintain (or grade!) your code.

Twitter Bootstrap tabs not working: when I click on them nothing happens

You're missing the data-toggle="tab" data-tag on your menu urls so your scripts can't tell where your tab switches are:

HTML

<ul class="nav nav-tabs" data-tabs="tabs">
    <li class="active"><a data-toggle="tab" href="#red">Red</a></li>
    <li><a data-toggle="tab" href="#orange">Orange</a></li>
    <li><a data-toggle="tab" href="#yellow">Yellow</a></li>
    <li><a data-toggle="tab" href="#green">Green</a></li>
    <li><a data-toggle="tab" href="#blue">Blue</a></li>
</ul>

Set transparent background using ImageMagick and commandline prompt

Using ImageMagick, this is very similar to hackerb9 code and result, but is a little simpler command line. It does assume that the top left pixel is the background color. I just flood fill the background with transparency, then select the alpha channel and blur it and remove half of the blurred area using -level 50x100%. Then turn back on all the channels and flatten it against the brown color. The -blur 0x1 -level 50x100% acts to antialias the boundaries of the alpha channel transparency. You can adjust the fuzz value, blur amount and the -level 50% value to change the degree of antialiasing.

convert logo: -fuzz 25% -fill none -draw "matte 0,0 floodfill" -channel alpha -blur 0x1 -level 50x100% +channel -background saddlebrown -flatten result.jpg

Makefile: How to correctly include header file and its directory?

The preprocessor is looking for StdCUtil/split.h in

and in

  • $INC_DIR (i.e. ../StdCUtil/ = /root/Core/../StdCUtil/ = /root/StdCUtil/). So ../StdCUtil/ + StdCUtil/split.h = ../StdCUtil/StdCUtil/split.h and the file is missing

You can fix the error changing the $INC_DIR variable (best solution):

$INC_DIR = ../

or the include directive:

#include "split.h"

but in this way you lost the "path syntax" that makes it very clear what namespace or module the header file belongs to.

Reference:

EDIT/UPDATE

It should also be

CXX = g++
CXXFLAGS = -c -Wall -I$(INC_DIR)

...

%.o: %.cpp $(DEPS)
    $(CXX) -o $@ $< $(CXXFLAGS)

Setting onClickListener for the Drawable right of an EditText

You don't have access to the right image as far my knowledge, unless you override the onTouch event. I suggest to use a RelativeLayout, with one editText and one imageView, and set OnClickListener over the image view as below:

<RelativeLayout
        android:id="@+id/rlSearch"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="@android:drawable/edit_text"
        android:padding="5dip" >

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/txtSearch"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"

            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_centerVertical="true"
            android:layout_toLeftOf="@+id/imgSearch"
            android:background="#00000000"
            android:ems="10"/>

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/imgSearch"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
            android:layout_centerVertical="true"
            android:src="@drawable/btnsearch" />
    </RelativeLayout>

Notify ObservableCollection when Item changes

I know it's late, but maybe this helps others. I have created a class NotifyObservableCollection, that solves the problem of missing notification to item itself, when a property of the item changes. The usage is as simple as ObservableCollection.

public class NotifyObservableCollection<T> : ObservableCollection<T> where T : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
    private void Handle(object sender, PropertyChangedEventArgs args)
    {
        OnCollectionChanged(new NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs(NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Reset, null));
    }

    protected override void OnCollectionChanged(NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.NewItems != null) {
            foreach (object t in e.NewItems) {
                ((T) t).PropertyChanged += Handle;
            }
        }
        if (e.OldItems != null) {
            foreach (object t in e.OldItems) {
                ((T) t).PropertyChanged -= Handle;
            }
        }
        base.OnCollectionChanged(e);
    }

While Items are added or removed the class forwards the items PropertyChanged event to the collections PropertyChanged event.

usage:

public abstract class ParameterBase : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
    protected readonly CultureInfo Ci = new CultureInfo("en-US");
    private string _value;

    public string Value {
        get { return _value; }
        set {
            if (value == _value) return;
            _value = value;
            OnPropertyChanged();
        }
    }
}

public class AItem {
    public NotifyObservableCollection<ParameterBase> Parameters {
        get { return _parameters; }
        set {
            NotifyCollectionChangedEventHandler cceh = (sender, args) => OnPropertyChanged();
            if (_parameters != null) _parameters.CollectionChanged -= cceh;
            _parameters = value;
            //needed for Binding to AItem at xaml directly
            _parameters.CollectionChanged += cceh; 
        }
    }

    public NotifyObservableCollection<ParameterBase> DefaultParameters {
        get { return _defaultParameters; }
        set {
            NotifyCollectionChangedEventHandler cceh = (sender, args) => OnPropertyChanged();
            if (_defaultParameters != null) _defaultParameters.CollectionChanged -= cceh;
            _defaultParameters = value;
            //needed for Binding to AItem at xaml directly
            _defaultParameters.CollectionChanged += cceh;
        }
    }


public class MyViewModel {
    public NotifyObservableCollection<AItem> DataItems { get; set; }
}

If now a property of an item in DataItems changes, the following xaml will get a notification, though it binds to Parameters[0] or to the item itself except to the changing property Value of the item (Converters at Triggers are called reliable on every change).

<DataGrid CanUserAddRows="False" AutoGenerateColumns="False" ItemsSource="{Binding DataItems}">
    <DataGrid.Columns>
        <DataGridTextColumn Binding="{Binding Parameters[0].Value}" Header="P1">
            <DataGridTextColumn.CellStyle>
                <Style TargetType="DataGridCell">
                    <Setter Property="Background" Value="Aqua" />
                    <Style.Triggers>
                        <DataTrigger Value="False">
                            <!-- Bind to Items with changing properties -->
                            <DataTrigger.Binding>
                                <MultiBinding Converter="{StaticResource ParameterCompareConverter}">
                                    <Binding Path="DefaultParameters[0]" />
                                    <Binding Path="Parameters[0]" />
                                </MultiBinding>
                            </DataTrigger.Binding>
                            <Setter Property="Background" Value="DeepPink" />
                        </DataTrigger>
                        <!-- Binds to AItem directly -->
                        <DataTrigger Value="True" Binding="{Binding Converter={StaticResource CheckParametersConverter}}">
                            <Setter Property="FontWeight" Value="ExtraBold" />
                        </DataTrigger>
                    </Style.Triggers>
                </Style>
            </DataGridTextColumn.CellStyle>
        </DataGridTextColumn>

Simple conversion between java.util.Date and XMLGregorianCalendar

From java.util.Date to XMLGregorianCalendar you can simply do:

import javax.xml.datatype.XMLGregorianCalendar;
import javax.xml.datatype.DatatypeFactory;
import java.util.GregorianCalendar;
......
GregorianCalendar gcalendar = new GregorianCalendar();
gcalendar.setTime(yourDate);
XMLGregorianCalendar xmlDate = DatatypeFactory.newInstance().newXMLGregorianCalendar(gcalendar);

Code edited after the first comment of @f-puras, by cause i do a mistake.

Duplicate line in Visual Studio Code

Another 2 very usefull shortcuts are to move lines selected up and down, like sublime text does...

{
  "key" : "ctrl+shift+down", "command" : "editor.action.moveLinesDownAction",
  "when" : "editorTextFocus && !editorReadonly"
},

and

{
  "key" : "ctrl+shift+up", "command" : "editor.action.moveLinesUpAction",
  "when" : "editorTextFocus && !editorReadonly"
}

TSQL: How to convert local time to UTC? (SQL Server 2008)

SQL Server 2008 has a type called datetimeoffset. It's really useful for this type of stuff.

Then you can use the function SWITCHOFFSET to move it from one timezone to another, but still keeping the same UTC value.

sort dict by value python

I also think it is important to note that Python dict object type is a hash table (more on this here), and thus is not capable of being sorted without converting its keys/values to lists. What this allows is dict item retrieval in constant time O(1), no matter the size/number of elements in a dictionary.

Having said that, once you sort its keys - sorted(data.keys()), or values - sorted(data.values()), you can then use that list to access keys/values in design patterns such as these:

for sortedKey in sorted(dictionary):
    print dictionary[sortedKeY] # gives the values sorted by key

for sortedValue in sorted(dictionary.values()):
    print sortedValue # gives the values sorted by value

Hope this helps.

process.start() arguments

Not really a direct answer, but I'd highly recommend using LINQPad for this kind of "exploratory" C# programming.

I have the following as a saved "query" in LINQPad:

var p = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
p.StartInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";
p.StartInfo.Arguments = "/c echo Foo && echo Bar";
p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
p.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
p.Start();
p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd().Dump();

Feel free to adapt as needed.

How to prevent Browser cache on Angular 2 site?

You can control client cache with HTTP headers. This works in any web framework.

You can set the directives these headers to have fine grained control over how and when to enable|disable cache:

  • Cache-Control
  • Surrogate-Control
  • Expires
  • ETag (very good one)
  • Pragma (if you want to support old browsers)

Good caching is good, but very complex, in all computer systems. Take a look at https://helmetjs.github.io/docs/nocache/#the-headers for more information.

    1.Open the projects gradle.properties file in android studio
    2.Added this line at end of file org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx1024m & Save the file
    3.Close & reopen the project

What's the best way to build a string of delimited items in Java?

Fix answer Rob Dickerson.

It's easier to use:

public static String join(String delimiter, String... values)
{
    StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();

    for (String value : values)
    {
        stringBuilder.append(value);
        stringBuilder.append(delimiter);
    }

    String result = stringBuilder.toString();

    return result.isEmpty() ? result : result.substring(0, result.length() - 1);
}

Failed to load JavaHL Library

My Understanding - Basically, svn client comes by default on Mac os. While installing in eclipse we should match svn plugin to the mac plugin and javaHL wont be missing. There is a lengthy process to update by installing xcode and then by using homebrew or macports which you can find after googling but if you are in hurry use simply the steps below.

1) on your mac terminal shell

$ svn --version

Note down the version e.g. 1.7.

2) open the link below

http://subclipse.tigris.org/wiki/JavaHL

check which version of subclipse you need corresponding to it. e.g.

Subclipse Version SVN/JavaHL Version 1.8.x 1.7.x

3) ok, pick up url corresponding to 1.8.x from

http://subclipse.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectProcess?pageID=p4wYuA

and add to your eclipse => Install new Software under help

select whatever you need, svn client or subclipse or mylyn etc and it will ask for restart of STS/eclipse thats it you are done. worked for me.

NOTE: if you already have multiple versions installed inside your eclipse then its best to uninstall all subclipse or svn client versions from eclipse plugins and start fresh with steps listed above.

Submit a form in a popup, and then close the popup

The Solution on top won't work because a submit redirects the page to the endpoint of form and wait for response to redirect. I see that this is an old Question but Most Asked and even i came to know the answer.Still here is my solution what i am implementing. I tried to keep it secure with Nonce but if you don't care then not required.

Method 1: You need to Pop up the form.

document.getElementById('edit_info_button').addEventListener('click',function(){
        window.open('{% url "updateuserinfo" %}','newwindow', 'width=400,height=600,scrollbars=no');
    });

Then you have the form open.

Submit the form normally.

Then return an HTTPResponse in render to a template(HTML file) With a STRICT Content Security Policy. A Variable that contains the following script. Nonce contains a Base64 128bits or larger randomly generated string for every request made to server.

<script nonce="{{nonce}}">window.close()</script>

Method 2:

Or you can redirect to another Page which is suppose to close ... Which already Contains the window.close() script. This will close the pop up window.

Method 3:

Otherwise the simplest will be Use a Ajax call if you are comfortable with one.Use then() and check your condition to the httpresponse from the server.Close the window when success.

UIAlertController custom font, size, color

Swift 4

Example of custom font on the title. Same things for other components such as message or actions.

    let titleAttributed = NSMutableAttributedString(
            string: Constant.Strings.cancelAbsence, 
            attributes: [NSAttributedStringKey.font:UIFont(name:"FONT_NAME",size: FONT_SIZE)]
    )

    let alertController = UIAlertController(
        title: "",
        message: "",
        preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.YOUR_STYLE
    )

    alertController.setValue(titleAttributed, forKey : "attributedTitle")
    present(alertController, animated: true, completion: nil)

jQuery jump or scroll to certain position, div or target on the page from button onclick

I would style a link to look like a button, because that way there is a no-js fallback.


So this is how you could animate the jump using jquery. No-js fallback is a normal jump without animation.

Original example:

jsfiddle

_x000D_
_x000D_
$(document).ready(function() {_x000D_
  $(".jumper").on("click", function( e ) {_x000D_
_x000D_
    e.preventDefault();_x000D_
_x000D_
    $("body, html").animate({ _x000D_
      scrollTop: $( $(this).attr('href') ).offset().top _x000D_
    }, 600);_x000D_
_x000D_
  });_x000D_
});
_x000D_
#long {_x000D_
  height: 500px;_x000D_
  background-color: blue;_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>_x000D_
<!-- Links that trigger the jumping -->_x000D_
<a class="jumper" href="#pliip">Pliip</a>_x000D_
<a class="jumper" href="#ploop">Ploop</a>_x000D_
<div id="long">...</div>_x000D_
<!-- Landing elements -->_x000D_
<div id="pliip">pliip</div>_x000D_
<div id="ploop">ploop</div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_


New example with actual button styles for the links, just to prove a point.

Everything is essentially the same, except that I changed the class .jumper to .button and I added css styling to make the links look like buttons.

ClientAbortException: java.net.SocketException: Connection reset by peer: socket write error

I have got this error on open page from Google Cache.

I think, cached page(client) disconnecting on page loading.

You can ignore this error log with try-catch on filter.

Creating a Custom Event

You need to declare your event in the class from myObject :

public event EventHandler<EventArgs> myMethod; //you should name it as an event, like ObjectChanged.

then myNameEvent is the callback to handle the event, and it can be in any other class

Removing leading zeroes from a field in a SQL statement

you can try this SELECT REPLACE(columnname,'0','') FROM table

Binding value to input in Angular JS

You don't need to set the value at all. ng-model takes care of it all:

  • set the input value from the model
  • update the model value when you change the input
  • update the input value when you change the model from js

Here's the fiddle for this: http://jsfiddle.net/terebentina/9mFpp/

The condition has length > 1 and only the first element will be used

You get the error because if can only evaluate a logical vector of length 1.

Maybe you miss the difference between & (|) and && (||). The shorter version works element-wise and the longer version uses only the first element of each vector, e.g.:

c(TRUE, TRUE) & c(TRUE, FALSE)
# [1] TRUE FALSE

# c(TRUE, TRUE) && c(TRUE, FALSE)
[1] TRUE

You don't need the if statement at all:

mut1 <- trip$Ref.y=='G' & trip$Variant.y=='T'|trip$Ref.y=='C' & trip$Variant.y=='A'
trip[mut1, "mutType"] <- "G:C to T:A"

CreateProcess: No such file or directory

Although post is old I had the same problem with mingw32 vers 4.8.1 on 2015/02/13. Compiling using Eclipse CDT failed with this message. Trying from command line with -v option also failed. I was also missing the cc1plus executable.

The cause: I downloaded the command line and graphical installer from the mingw32 site. I used this to do my initial install of mingw32. Using the GUI I selected the base tools, selecting both the c and c++ compilers.

This installer did an incomplete install of the 32 bit c++ compiler. I had the g++ and cpp files but not the cc1plus executable. Trying to do an 'update' failed because the installer assumed I had everything installed.

To fix I found these sites: http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/ I downloaded and ran this 'online install'. Sure enough this one contained the missing files. I modified my PATH variable and pointed to the 'bin' folder containing the g++ executable. Rebooted. Installed 64 bit Eclipse. Opened Eclipse and the 'Hello World' c++ program compiled, executed, and debugged properly.

Note: the 64bit installer seems to default to UNIX settings. Why can't an installer determine the OS??? Make sure to change them.

I spent an entire evening dealing with this. Hope this helps someone.

Difference between "\n" and Environment.NewLine

Environment.NewLine will give "\r\n" when run on Windows. If you are generating strings for Unix based environments, you don't want the "\r".

I just discovered why all ASP.Net websites are slow, and I am trying to work out what to do about it

For ASPNET MVC, we did the following:

  1. By default, set SessionStateBehavior.ReadOnly on all controller's action by overriding DefaultControllerFactory
  2. On controller actions that need writing to session state, mark with attribute to set it to SessionStateBehavior.Required

Create custom ControllerFactory and override GetControllerSessionBehavior.

    protected override SessionStateBehavior GetControllerSessionBehavior(RequestContext requestContext, Type controllerType)
    {
        var DefaultSessionStateBehaviour = SessionStateBehaviour.ReadOnly;

        if (controllerType == null)
            return DefaultSessionStateBehaviour;

        var isRequireSessionWrite =
            controllerType.GetCustomAttributes<AcquireSessionLock>(inherit: true).FirstOrDefault() != null;

        if (isRequireSessionWrite)
            return SessionStateBehavior.Required;

        var actionName = requestContext.RouteData.Values["action"].ToString();
        MethodInfo actionMethodInfo;

        try
        {
            actionMethodInfo = controllerType.GetMethod(actionName, BindingFlags.IgnoreCase | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance);
        }
        catch (AmbiguousMatchException)
        {
            var httpRequestTypeAttr = GetHttpRequestTypeAttr(requestContext.HttpContext.Request.HttpMethod);

            actionMethodInfo =
                controllerType.GetMethods().FirstOrDefault(
                    mi => mi.Name.Equals(actionName, StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase) && mi.GetCustomAttributes(httpRequestTypeAttr, false).Length > 0);
        }

        if (actionMethodInfo == null)
            return DefaultSessionStateBehaviour;

        isRequireSessionWrite = actionMethodInfo.GetCustomAttributes<AcquireSessionLock>(inherit: false).FirstOrDefault() != null;

         return isRequireSessionWrite ? SessionStateBehavior.Required : DefaultSessionStateBehaviour;
    }

    private static Type GetHttpRequestTypeAttr(string httpMethod) 
    {
        switch (httpMethod)
        {
            case "GET":
                return typeof(HttpGetAttribute);
            case "POST":
                return typeof(HttpPostAttribute);
            case "PUT":
                return typeof(HttpPutAttribute);
            case "DELETE":
                return typeof(HttpDeleteAttribute);
            case "HEAD":
                return typeof(HttpHeadAttribute);
            case "PATCH":
                return typeof(HttpPatchAttribute);
            case "OPTIONS":
                return typeof(HttpOptionsAttribute);
        }

        throw new NotSupportedException("unable to determine http method");
    }

AcquireSessionLockAttribute

[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Method)]
public sealed class AcquireSessionLock : Attribute
{ }

Hook up the created controller factory in global.asax.cs

ControllerBuilder.Current.SetControllerFactory(typeof(DefaultReadOnlySessionStateControllerFactory));

Now, we can have both read-only and read-write session state in a single Controller.

public class TestController : Controller 
{
    [AcquireSessionLock]
    public ActionResult WriteSession()
    {
        var timeNow = DateTimeOffset.UtcNow.ToString();
        Session["key"] = timeNow;
        return Json(timeNow, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
    }

    public ActionResult ReadSession()
    {
        var timeNow = Session["key"];
        return Json(timeNow ?? "empty", JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
    }
}

Note: ASPNET session state can still be written to even in readonly mode and will not throw any form of exception (It just doesn't lock to guarantee consistency) so we have to be careful to mark AcquireSessionLock in controller's actions that require writing session state.

How to write lists inside a markdown table?

Not that I know of, because all markdown references I am aware of, like this one, mention:

Cell content must be on one line only

You can try it with that Markdown Tables Generator (whose example looks like the one you mention in your question, so you may be aware of it already).

Pandoc

If you are using Pandoc’s markdown (which extends John Gruber’s markdown syntax on which the GitHub Flavored Markdown is based) you can use either grid_tables:

+---------------+---------------+--------------------+
| Fruit         | Price         | Advantages         |
+===============+===============+====================+
| Bananas       | $1.34         | - built-in wrapper |
|               |               | - bright color     |
+---------------+---------------+--------------------+
| Oranges       | $2.10         | - cures scurvy     |
|               |               | - tasty            |
+---------------+---------------+--------------------+

or multiline_tables.

-------------------------------------------------------------

  Second    row                 5.0 Here's another one. Note
                                    the blank line between
                                    rows.

How to check for a valid Base64 encoded string

Do decode, re encode and compare the result to original string

public static Boolean IsBase64(this String str)
{
    if ((str.Length % 4) != 0)
    {
        return false;
    }

    //decode - encode and compare
    try
    {
        string decoded = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(System.Convert.FromBase64String(str));
        string encoded = System.Convert.ToBase64String(System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(decoded));
        if (str.Equals(encoded, StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase))
        {
            return true;
        }
    }
    catch { }
    return false;
}

Angular 2 Scroll to top on Route Change

The main idea behind this code is to keep all visited urls along with respective scrollY data in an array. Every time a user abandons a page (NavigationStart) this array is updated. Every time a user enters a new page (NavigationEnd), we decide to restore Y position or don't depending on how do we get to this page. If a refernce on some page was used we scroll to 0. If browser back/forward features were used we scroll to Y saved in our array. Sorry for my English :)

import { Component, OnInit, OnDestroy } from '@angular/core';
import { Location, PopStateEvent } from '@angular/common';
import { Router, Route, RouterLink, NavigationStart, NavigationEnd, 
    RouterEvent } from '@angular/router';
import { Subscription } from 'rxjs/Subscription';

@Component({
  selector: 'my-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit, OnDestroy {

  private _subscription: Subscription;
  private _scrollHistory: { url: string, y: number }[] = [];
  private _useHistory = false;

  constructor(
    private _router: Router,
    private _location: Location) {
  }

  public ngOnInit() {

    this._subscription = this._router.events.subscribe((event: any) => 
    {
      if (event instanceof NavigationStart) {
        const currentUrl = (this._location.path() !== '') 
           this._location.path() : '/';
        const item = this._scrollHistory.find(x => x.url === currentUrl);
        if (item) {
          item.y = window.scrollY;
        } else {
          this._scrollHistory.push({ url: currentUrl, y: window.scrollY });
        }
        return;
      }
      if (event instanceof NavigationEnd) {
        if (this._useHistory) {
          this._useHistory = false;
          window.scrollTo(0, this._scrollHistory.find(x => x.url === 
          event.url).y);
        } else {
          window.scrollTo(0, 0);
        }
      }
    });

    this._subscription.add(this._location.subscribe((event: PopStateEvent) 
      => { this._useHistory = true;
    }));
  }

  public ngOnDestroy(): void {
    this._subscription.unsubscribe();

Comparing Dates in Oracle SQL

from your query:

Select employee_id, count(*) From Employee 
Where to_char(employee_date_hired, 'DD-MON-YY') > '31-DEC-95' 

i think its not to display the number of employees that are hired after June 20, 1994. if you want show number of employees, you can use:

Select count(*) From Employee 
Where to_char(employee_date_hired, 'YYYMMMDDD') > 19940620 

I think for best practice to compare dates you can use:

employee_date_hired > TO_DATE('20-06-1994', 'DD-MM-YYYY');
or
to_char(employee_date_hired, 'YYYMMMDDD') > 19940620;

Surprise!There is no field named 'password', the password field is named ' authentication_string'. So, just do this:

update user set authentication_string=password('1111') where user='root';

Now, everything will be ok.

Function for C++ struct

Yes, a struct is identical to a class except for the default access level (member-wise and inheritance-wise). (and the extra meaning class carries when used with a template)

Every functionality supported by a class is consequently supported by a struct. You'd use methods the same as you'd use them for a class.

struct foo {
  int bar;
  foo() : bar(3) {}   //look, a constructor
  int getBar() 
  { 
    return bar; 
  }
};

foo f;
int y = f.getBar(); // y is 3

How to read a string one letter at a time in python

Create a lookup table first:

morse = [None] * (ord('z') - ord('a') + 1)
for line in moreCodeFile:
    morse[ord(line[0].lower()) - ord('a')] = line[2:]

Then convert using the table:

for ch in userInput:
    print morse[ord(ch.lower()) - ord('a')]

What is this spring.jpa.open-in-view=true property in Spring Boot?

This property will register an OpenEntityManagerInViewInterceptor, which registers an EntityManager to the current thread, so you will have the same EntityManager until the web request is finished. It has nothing to do with a Hibernate SessionFactory etc.

the file path you ran is wrong. So if you are working on windows, go to the correct file location with cd and rerun from there.

How to enable TLS 1.2 support in an Android application (running on Android 4.1 JB)

I have some additions to above mentioned answers Its infact a hack mentioned by Jesse Wilson from okhttp, square here. According to this hack, i had to rename my SSLSocketFactory variable to

private SSLSocketFactory delegate;

This is my TLSSocketFactory class

public class TLSSocketFactory extends SSLSocketFactory {

private SSLSocketFactory delegate;

public TLSSocketFactory() throws KeyManagementException, NoSuchAlgorithmException {
    SSLContext context = SSLContext.getInstance("TLS");
    context.init(null, null, null);
    delegate = context.getSocketFactory();
}

@Override
public String[] getDefaultCipherSuites() {
    return delegate.getDefaultCipherSuites();
}

@Override
public String[] getSupportedCipherSuites() {
    return delegate.getSupportedCipherSuites();
}

@Override
public Socket createSocket() throws IOException {
    return enableTLSOnSocket(delegate.createSocket());
}

@Override
public Socket createSocket(Socket s, String host, int port, boolean autoClose) throws IOException {
    return enableTLSOnSocket(delegate.createSocket(s, host, port, autoClose));
}

@Override
public Socket createSocket(String host, int port) throws IOException, UnknownHostException {
    return enableTLSOnSocket(delegate.createSocket(host, port));
}

@Override
public Socket createSocket(String host, int port, InetAddress localHost, int localPort) throws IOException, UnknownHostException {
    return enableTLSOnSocket(delegate.createSocket(host, port, localHost, localPort));
}

@Override
public Socket createSocket(InetAddress host, int port) throws IOException {
    return enableTLSOnSocket(delegate.createSocket(host, port));
}

@Override
public Socket createSocket(InetAddress address, int port, InetAddress localAddress, int localPort) throws IOException {
    return enableTLSOnSocket(delegate.createSocket(address, port, localAddress, localPort));
}

private Socket enableTLSOnSocket(Socket socket) {
    if(socket != null && (socket instanceof SSLSocket)) {
        ((SSLSocket)socket).setEnabledProtocols(new String[] {"TLSv1.1", "TLSv1.2"});
    }
    return socket;
}
}

and this is how i used it with okhttp and retrofit

 OkHttpClient client=new OkHttpClient();
    try {
        client = new OkHttpClient.Builder()
                .sslSocketFactory(new TLSSocketFactory())
                .build();
    } catch (KeyManagementException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (NoSuchAlgorithmException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    Retrofit retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
            .baseUrl(URL)
            .client(client)
            .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
            .build();

Going from MM/DD/YYYY to DD-MMM-YYYY in java

Try this

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy"); // Set your date format
        String currentData = sdf.format(new Date());
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), ""+currentData,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT ).show();

Calculate average in java

This

for (int i = 0; i<args.length -1; ++i)
    count++;

basically computes args.length again, just incorrectly (loop condition should be i<args.length). Why not just use args.length (or nums.length) directly instead?

Otherwise your code seems OK. Although it looks as though you wanted to read the input from the command line, but don't know how to convert that into an array of numbers - is this your real problem?

JQuery wait for page to finish loading before starting the slideshow?

you can try

$(function()
{

$(window).bind('load', function()
{

// INSERT YOUR CODE THAT WILL BE EXECUTED AFTER THE PAGE COMPLETELY LOADED...

});
});

i had the same problem and this code worked for me. how it works for you too!

How to delete multiple files at once in Bash on Linux?

Use a wildcard (*) to match multiple files.

For example, the command below will delete all files with names beginning with abc.log.2012-03-.

rm -f abc.log.2012-03-*

I'd recommend running ls abc.log.2012-03-* to list the files so that you can see what you are going to delete before running the rm command.

For more details see the Bash man page on filename expansion.

Load jQuery with Javascript and use jQuery

Encosia's website recommends:

<script type="text/javascript" 
        src="http://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
  // You may specify partial version numbers, such as "1" or "1.3",
  //  with the same result. Doing so will automatically load the 
  //  latest version matching that partial revision pattern 
  //  (e.g. 1.3 would load 1.3.2 today and 1 would load 1.7.2).
  google.load("jquery", "1.7.2");

  google.setOnLoadCallback(function() {
    // Place init code here instead of $(document).ready()
  });
</script>

But even he admits that it just doesn't compare to doing the following when it comes to optimal performance:

    <script src="//ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-1.7.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript"> window.jQuery || document.write('<script src="js/libs/jquery-1.7.2.min.js">\x3C/script>')</script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="scripts.js"></scripts>
</body>
</html>

How to clean up R memory (without the need to restart my PC)?

I came under the same problem with R. I dig a bit and come with a solution, that we need to restart R session to fully clean the memory/RAM. For this, you can use a simple code after removing everything from your workspace. the code is as follows :

rm(list = ls())

.rs.restartR()

How do I check if a string is valid JSON in Python?

Example Python script returns a boolean if a string is valid json:

import json

def is_json(myjson):
  try:
    json_object = json.loads(myjson)
  except ValueError as e:
    return False
  return True

Which prints:

print is_json("{}")                          #prints True
print is_json("{asdf}")                      #prints False
print is_json('{ "age":100}')                #prints True
print is_json("{'age':100 }")                #prints False
print is_json("{\"age\":100 }")              #prints True
print is_json('{"age":100 }')                #prints True
print is_json('{"foo":[5,6.8],"foo":"bar"}') #prints True

Convert a JSON string to a Python dictionary:

import json
mydict = json.loads('{"foo":"bar"}')
print(mydict['foo'])    #prints bar

mylist = json.loads("[5,6,7]")
print(mylist)
[5, 6, 7]

Convert a python object to JSON string:

foo = {}
foo['gummy'] = 'bear'
print(json.dumps(foo))           #prints {"gummy": "bear"}

If you want access to low-level parsing, don't roll your own, use an existing library: http://www.json.org/

Great tutorial on python JSON module: https://pymotw.com/2/json/

Is String JSON and show syntax errors and error messages:

sudo cpan JSON::XS
echo '{"foo":[5,6.8],"foo":"bar" bar}' > myjson.json
json_xs -t none < myjson.json

Prints:

, or } expected while parsing object/hash, at character offset 28 (before "bar}
at /usr/local/bin/json_xs line 183, <STDIN> line 1.

json_xs is capable of syntax checking, parsing, prittifying, encoding, decoding and more:

Python one-line "for" expression

for item in array: array2.append (item)

Or, in this case:

Access-control-allow-origin with multiple domains

In Web.API this attribute can be added using Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Cors as detailed at http://www.asp.net/web-api/overview/security/enabling-cross-origin-requests-in-web-api

In MVC you could create a filter attribute to do this work for you:

[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Class | AttributeTargets.Method,
                AllowMultiple = true, Inherited = true)]
public class EnableCorsAttribute : FilterAttribute, IActionFilter {
    private const string IncomingOriginHeader = "Origin";
    private const string OutgoingOriginHeader = "Access-Control-Allow-Origin";
    private const string OutgoingMethodsHeader = "Access-Control-Allow-Methods";
    private const string OutgoingAgeHeader = "Access-Control-Max-Age";

    public void OnActionExecuted(ActionExecutedContext filterContext) {
        // Do nothing
    }

    public void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
    {
        var isLocal = filterContext.HttpContext.Request.IsLocal;
        var originHeader = 
             filterContext.HttpContext.Request.Headers.Get(IncomingOriginHeader);
        var response = filterContext.HttpContext.Response;

        if (!String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(originHeader) &&
            (isLocal || IsAllowedOrigin(originHeader))) {
            response.AddHeader(OutgoingOriginHeader, originHeader);
            response.AddHeader(OutgoingMethodsHeader, "GET,POST,OPTIONS");
            response.AddHeader(OutgoingAgeHeader, "3600");
        }
    }

    protected bool IsAllowedOrigin(string origin) {
        // ** replace with your own logic to check the origin header
        return true;
    }
}

Then either enable it for specific actions / controllers:

[EnableCors]
public class SecurityController : Controller {
    // *snip*
    [EnableCors]
    public ActionResult SignIn(Guid key, string email, string password) {

Or add it for all controllers in Global.asax.cs

protected void Application_Start() {
    // *Snip* any existing code

    // Register global filter
    GlobalFilters.Filters.Add(new EnableCorsAttribute());
    RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);

    // *snip* existing code
}

Removing numbers from string

Not sure if your teacher allows you to use filters but...

filter(lambda x: x.isalpha(), "a1a2a3s3d4f5fg6h")

returns-

'aaasdffgh'

Much more efficient than looping...

Example:

for i in range(10):
  a.replace(str(i),'')

Redirect output of mongo query to a csv file

Here is what you can try:

print("id,name,startDate")
cursor = db.<collection_name>.find();
while (cursor.hasNext()) {
    jsonObject = cursor.next();
    print(jsonObject._id.valueOf() + "," + jsonObject.name + ",\"" + jsonObject.stateDate.toUTCString() +"\"")

}

Save that in a file, say "export.js". Run the following command:

mongo <host>/<dbname> -u <username> -p <password> export.js > out.csv
