Materialize CSS - Select Doesn't Seem to Render

For default browser,

<head>
     select {
            display: inline !important;
         }
</head>

Or the Jquery solution after the link t Jquery library and your local/CDN materialize files

<script>
(function($){
  $(function(){
    // Plugin initialization
    $('select').not('.disabled').formSelect();
  }); 
})(jQuery); // end of jQuery name space

I really like this framework, but what on earth to have display:none...

How to host material icons offline?

By the way there is video available on youtube with step by step instructions.

https://youtu.be/7j6eOkhISzk

These are the steps. Download materialize icon package from https://github.com/google/material-design-icons/releases
Copy the icon-font folder and rename it to icons.
Open the materialize.css file and update the following paths:

a. from url(MaterialIcons-Regular.eot) to url(../fonts/MaterialIcons-Regular.eot) b. from url(MaterialIcons-Regular.woff2) format('woff2') to url(../fonts/MaterialIcons-Regular.woff2) format('woff2') c. from url(MaterialIcons-Regular.woff) format('woff') to url(../fonts/MaterialIcons-Regular.woff) format('woff') d. from url(MaterialIcons-Regular.ttf) format('truetype') to url(../fonts/MaterialIcons-Regular.ttf) format('truetype')

Copy the materialize-icon.css to your css folder and reference it in your html file.

Everything will work like magic !

The opposite of Intersect()

I think you might be looking for Except:

The Except operator produces the set difference between two sequences. It will only return elements in the first sequence that don't appear in the second. You can optionally provide your own equality comparison function.

Default port for SQL Server

We can take a look at three different ways you can identify the port used by an instance of SQL Server.

Reading SQL Server Error Logs
Using SQL Server Configuration Manager
Using Windows Application Event Viewer

USE master
GO

xp_readerrorlog 0, 1, N'Server is listening on', 'any', NULL, NULL, N'asc'
GO

Identify Port used by SQL Server Database Engine Using SQL Server Configuration Manager

Click Start -> Programs -> Microsoft SQL Server 2008 -> Configuration Tools -> SQL Server Configuration Manager

In SQL Server Configuration Manager, expand SQL Server Network Configuration and then select Protocols for on the left panel. To identify the TCP/IP Port used by the SQL Server Instance, right click onTCP/IP and select Properties from the drop down as shown below.

Difference between natural join and inner join

A natural join is just a shortcut to avoid typing, with a presumption that the join is simple and matches fields of the same name.

SELECT
  *
FROM
  table1
NATURAL JOIN
  table2
    -- implicitly uses `room_number` to join

Is the same as...

SELECT
  *
FROM
  table1
INNER JOIN
  table2
    ON table1.room_number = table2.room_number

What you can't do with the shortcut format, however, is more complex joins...

SELECT
  *
FROM
  table1
INNER JOIN
  table2
    ON (table1.room_number = table2.room_number)
    OR (table1.room_number IS NULL AND table2.room_number IS NULL)

oracle - what statements need to be committed?

In mechanical terms a COMMIT makes a transaction. That is, a transaction is all the activity (one or more DML statements) which occurs between two COMMIT statements (or ROLLBACK).

In Oracle a DDL statement is a transaction in its own right simply because an implicit COMMIT is issued before the statement is executed and again afterwards. TRUNCATE is a DDL command so it doesn't need an explicit commit because calling it executes an implicit commit.

From a system design perspective a transaction is a business unit of work. It might consist of a single DML statement or several of them. It doesn't matter: only full transactions require COMMIT. It literally does not make sense to issue a COMMIT unless or until we have completed a whole business unit of work.

This is a key concept. COMMITs don't just release locks. In Oracle they also release latches, such as the Interested Transaction List. This has an impact because of Oracle's read consistency model. Exceptions such as ORA-01555: SNAPSHOT TOO OLD or ORA-01002: FETCH OUT OF SEQUENCE occur because of inappropriate commits. Consequently, it is crucial for our transactions to hang onto locks for as long as they need them.

Python Pandas: Get index of rows which column matches certain value

df.iloc[i] returns the ith row of df. i does not refer to the index label, i is a 0-based index.

In contrast, the attribute index returns actual index labels, not numeric row-indices:

df.index[df['BoolCol'] == True].tolist()

or equivalently,

df.index[df['BoolCol']].tolist()

You can see the difference quite clearly by playing with a DataFrame with a non-default index that does not equal to the row's numerical position:

df = pd.DataFrame({'BoolCol': [True, False, False, True, True]},
       index=[10,20,30,40,50])

In [53]: df
Out[53]: 
   BoolCol
10    True
20   False
30   False
40    True
50    True

[5 rows x 1 columns]

In [54]: df.index[df['BoolCol']].tolist()
Out[54]: [10, 40, 50]

If you want to use the index,

In [56]: idx = df.index[df['BoolCol']]

In [57]: idx
Out[57]: Int64Index([10, 40, 50], dtype='int64')

then you can select the rows using loc instead of iloc:

In [58]: df.loc[idx]
Out[58]: 
   BoolCol
10    True
40    True
50    True

[3 rows x 1 columns]

Note that loc can also accept boolean arrays:

In [55]: df.loc[df['BoolCol']]
Out[55]: 
   BoolCol
10    True
40    True
50    True

[3 rows x 1 columns]

If you have a boolean array, mask, and need ordinal index values, you can compute them using np.flatnonzero:

In [110]: np.flatnonzero(df['BoolCol'])
Out[112]: array([0, 3, 4])

Use df.iloc to select rows by ordinal index:

In [113]: df.iloc[np.flatnonzero(df['BoolCol'])]
Out[113]: 
   BoolCol
10    True
40    True
50    True

Android Failed to install HelloWorld.apk on device (null) Error

Try changing the ADB connection timeout. I think it defaults that to 5000ms and I changed mine to 10000ms to get rid of that problem. If you are in Eclipse, you can do this by going through Window -> Preferences and then it is in DDMS under Android.

As described here: Android error: Failed to install *.apk on device *: timeout

How do you connect to multiple MySQL databases on a single webpage?

Warning : mysql_xx functions are deprecated since php 5.5 and removed since php 7.0 (see http://php.net/manual/intro.mysql.php), use mysqli_xx functions or see the answer below from @Troelskn

You can make multiple calls to mysql_connect(), but if the parameters are the same you need to pass true for the '$new_link' (fourth) parameter, otherwise the same connection is reused. For example:

$dbh1 = mysql_connect($hostname, $username, $password); 
$dbh2 = mysql_connect($hostname, $username, $password, true); 

mysql_select_db('database1', $dbh1);
mysql_select_db('database2', $dbh2);

Then to query database 1 pass the first link identifier:

mysql_query('select * from tablename', $dbh1);

and for database 2 pass the second:

mysql_query('select * from tablename', $dbh2);

If you do not pass a link identifier then the last connection created is used (in this case the one represented by $dbh2) e.g.:

mysql_query('select * from tablename');

Other options

If the MySQL user has access to both databases and they are on the same host (i.e. both DBs are accessible from the same connection) you could:

Keep one connection open and call mysql_select_db() to swap between as necessary. I am not sure this is a clean solution and you could end up querying the wrong database.
Specify the database name when you reference tables within your queries (e.g. SELECT * FROM database2.tablename). This is likely to be a pain to implement.

Also please read troelskn's answer because that is a better approach if you are able to use PDO rather than the older extensions.

How to check if another instance of the application is running

You can try this

foreach (Process p in processes)
{
    IntPtr pFoundWindow = p.MainWindowHandle;
    // Do something with the handle...
    //
}

Fast way to concatenate strings in nodeJS/JavaScript

You asked about performance. See this perf test comparing 'concat', '+' and 'join' - in short the + operator wins by far.

Why does this code using random strings print "hello world"?

It is about "seed". Same seeds give the same result.

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

Like sgibb said it was an if problem, it had nothing to do with | or ||.

Here is another way to solve your problem:

for (i in 1:nrow(trip)) {
  if(trip$Ref.y[i]=='G' & trip$Variant.y[i]=='T'|trip$Ref.y[i]=='C' & trip$Variant.y[i]=='A') {
    trip[i, 'mutType'] <- "G:C to T:A"
  }
  else if(trip$Ref.y[i]=='G' & trip$Variant.y[i]=='C'|trip$Ref.y[i]=='C' & trip$Variant.y[i]=='G') {
    trip[i, 'mutType'] <- "G:C to C:G"
  }
  else if(trip$Ref.y[i]=='G' & trip$Variant.y[i]=='A'|trip$Ref.y[i]=='C' & trip$Variant.y[i]=='T') {
    trip[i, 'mutType'] <- "G:C to A:T"
  }
  else if(trip$Ref.y[i]=='A' & trip$Variant.y[i]=='T'|trip$Ref.y[i]=='T' & trip$Variant.y[i]=='A') {
    trip[i, 'mutType'] <- "A:T to T:A"
  }
  else if(trip$Ref.y[i]=='A' & trip$Variant.y[i]=='G'|trip$Ref.y[i]=='T' & trip$Variant.y[i]=='C') {
    trip[i, 'mutType'] <- "A:T to G:C"
  }
  else if(trip$Ref.y[i]=='A' & trip$Variant.y[i]=='C'|trip$Ref.y[i]=='T' & trip$Variant.y[i]=='G') {
    trip[i, 'mutType'] <- "A:T to C:G"

How do JavaScript closures work?

Imagine there is a very large park in your town where you see a magician called Mr. Coder starting baseball games in different corners of the park using his magic wand, called JavaScript.

Naturally each baseball game has the exact same rules and each game has its own score board.

Naturally, the scores of one baseball game are completely separate from the other games.

A closure is the special way Mr.Coder keeps the scoring of all his magical baseball games separate.

Datatables - Setting column width

I see in your Update 2 that you have use sAutoWidth, but I think you mistyped bAutoWidth. Try to change this.

You can also add a CSS rule to .table if the problem persists.

You should also be careful when the width of the content is greater than the header of the column.

So something like the combination of the 1 & 2:

$('.table').dataTable({
  bAutoWidth: false, 
  aoColumns : [
    { sWidth: '15%' },
    { sWidth: '15%' },
    { sWidth: '15%' },
    { sWidth: '15%' },
    { sWidth: '15%' },
    { sWidth: '15%' },
    { sWidth: '10%' }
  ]
});

Simplest PHP example for retrieving user_timeline with Twitter API version 1.1

Like stated in other answers, create a Twitter app to get the token, key and secret. Using the code bellow, you can modify request parameters from one spot and avoid typos and similar errors (change $request array in returnTweet() function).

function buildBaseString($baseURI, $method, $params) {
    $r = array();
    ksort($params);
    foreach($params as $key=>$value){
        $r[] = "$key=" . rawurlencode($value);
    }
    return $method."&" . rawurlencode($baseURI) . '&' . rawurlencode(implode('&', $r));
}

function buildAuthorizationHeader($oauth) {
    $r = 'Authorization: OAuth ';
    $values = array();
    foreach($oauth as $key=>$value)
        $values[] = "$key=\"" . rawurlencode($value) . "\"";
    $r .= implode(', ', $values);
    return $r;
}

function returnTweet(){
    $oauth_access_token         = "x";
    $oauth_access_token_secret  = "x";
    $consumer_key               = "x";
    $consumer_secret            = "x";

    $twitter_timeline           = "user_timeline";  //  mentions_timeline / user_timeline / home_timeline / retweets_of_me

    //  create request
        $request = array(
            'screen_name'       => 'budidino',
            'count'             => '3'
        );

    $oauth = array(
        'oauth_consumer_key'        => $consumer_key,
        'oauth_nonce'               => time(),
        'oauth_signature_method'    => 'HMAC-SHA1',
        'oauth_token'               => $oauth_access_token,
        'oauth_timestamp'           => time(),
        'oauth_version'             => '1.0'
    );

    //  merge request and oauth to one array
        $oauth = array_merge($oauth, $request);

    //  do some magic
        $base_info              = buildBaseString("https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/$twitter_timeline.json", 'GET', $oauth);
        $composite_key          = rawurlencode($consumer_secret) . '&' . rawurlencode($oauth_access_token_secret);
        $oauth_signature            = base64_encode(hash_hmac('sha1', $base_info, $composite_key, true));
        $oauth['oauth_signature']   = $oauth_signature;

    //  make request
        $header = array(buildAuthorizationHeader($oauth), 'Expect:');
        $options = array( CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => $header,
                          CURLOPT_HEADER => false,
                          CURLOPT_URL => "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/$twitter_timeline.json?". http_build_query($request),
                          CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
                          CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false);

        $feed = curl_init();
        curl_setopt_array($feed, $options);
        $json = curl_exec($feed);
        curl_close($feed);

    return json_decode($json, true);
}

and then just call returnTweet()

C# create simple xml file

You could use XDocument:

new XDocument(
    new XElement("root", 
        new XElement("someNode", "someValue")    
    )
)
.Save("foo.xml");

If the file you want to create is very big and cannot fit into memory you might use XmlWriter.

How to validate IP address in Python?

The IPy module (a module designed for dealing with IP addresses) will throw a ValueError exception for invalid addresses.

>>> from IPy import IP
>>> IP('127.0.0.1')
IP('127.0.0.1')
>>> IP('277.0.0.1')
Traceback (most recent call last):
 ...
ValueError: '277.0.0.1': single byte must be 0 <= byte < 256
>>> IP('foobar')
Traceback (most recent call last):
 ...
ValueError: invalid literal for long() with base 10: 'foobar'

However, like Dustin's answer, it will accept things like "4" and "192.168" since, as mentioned, these are valid representations of IP addresses.

If you're using Python 3.3 or later, it now includes the ipaddress module:

>>> import ipaddress
>>> ipaddress.ip_address('127.0.0.1')
IPv4Address('127.0.0.1')
>>> ipaddress.ip_address('277.0.0.1')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python3.3/ipaddress.py", line 54, in ip_address
    address)
ValueError: '277.0.0.1' does not appear to be an IPv4 or IPv6 address
>>> ipaddress.ip_address('foobar')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python3.3/ipaddress.py", line 54, in ip_address
    address)
ValueError: 'foobar' does not appear to be an IPv4 or IPv6 address

For Python 2, you can get the same functionality using ipaddress if you install python-ipaddress:

pip install ipaddress

This module is compatible with Python 2 and provides a very similar API to that of the ipaddress module included in the Python Standard Library since Python 3.3. More details here. In Python 2 you will need to explicitly convert the IP address string to unicode: ipaddress.ip_address(u'127.0.0.1').

How to save RecyclerView's scroll position using RecyclerView.State?

You can either use adapter.stateRestorationPolicy = StateRestorationPolicy.PREVENT_WHEN_EMPTY which is introduced in recyclerview:1.2.0-alpha02

https://medium.com/androiddevelopers/restore-recyclerview-scroll-position-a8fbdc9a9334

but it has some issues such as not working with inner RecyclerView, and some other issues you can check out in medium post's comment section.

Or you can use ViewModel with SavedStateHandle which works for inner RecyclerViews, screen rotation and process death.

Create a ViewModel with saveStateHandle

val scrollState=
    savedStateHandle.getLiveData<Parcelable?>(KEY_LAYOUT_MANAGER_STATE)

use Parcelable scrollState to save and restore state as answered in other posts or by adding a scroll listener to RecyclerView and

recyclerView.addOnScrollListener(object : RecyclerView.OnScrollListener() {

        override fun onScrollStateChanged(recyclerView: RecyclerView, newState: Int) {
            super.onScrollStateChanged(recyclerView, newState)
            if (newState == RecyclerView.SCROLL_STATE_IDLE) {
               scrollState.value = mLayoutManager.onSaveInstanceState()
            }
        }

Printing 1 to 1000 without loop or conditionals

There are plenty of abnormal exits due to stack overflows so far, but no heap ones yet, so here's my contribution:

#include <cstdio>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <sys/signal.h>
#define PAGE_SIZE 4096
void print_and_set(int i, int* s)
{
  *s = i;
  printf("%d\n", i);
  print_and_set(i + 1, s + 1);
}
void
sigsegv(int)
{
  fflush(stdout); exit(0);
}
int
main(int argc, char** argv)
{
  int* mem = reinterpret_cast<int*>
    (reinterpret_cast<char*>(mmap(NULL, PAGE_SIZE * 2, PROT_WRITE,
                                  MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, 0, 0)) +
     PAGE_SIZE - 1000 * sizeof(int));
  mprotect(mem + 1000, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_NONE);
  signal(SIGSEGV, sigsegv);
  print_and_set(1, mem);
}

Not very good practice, and no error checks (for obvious reasons) but I don't think that is the point of the question!

There are plenty of other abnormal termination options, of course, some of which are simpler: assert(), SIGFPE (I think someone did that one), and so on.

Delete rows from multiple tables using a single query (SQL Express 2005) with a WHERE condition

WPF Timer Like C# Timer

The usual WPF timer is the DispatcherTimer, which is not a control but used in code. It basically works the same way like the WinForms timer:

System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherTimer dispatcherTimer = new System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherTimer();
dispatcherTimer.Tick += dispatcherTimer_Tick;
dispatcherTimer.Interval = new TimeSpan(0,0,1);
dispatcherTimer.Start();


private void dispatcherTimer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  // code goes here
}

More on the DispatcherTimer can be found here

What is meaning of negative dbm in signal strength?

I think it is confusing to think of it in terms of negative numbers. Since it is a logarithm think of the negative values the same way you think of powers of ten. 10^3 = 1000 while 10^-3 = 0.001.

With this in mind and using the formulas from S Lists's answer (and assuming our base power is 1mW in all these cases) we can build a little table:

|--------|-------------------|
| P(dBm) |        P(mW)      |
|--------|-------------------|
|    50  |  100000           |    
|    40  |   10000           |    strong transmitter
|    30  |    1000           |             ^  
|    20  |     100           |             |
|    10  |      10           |             |
|     0  |       1           |
|   -10  |       0.1         |
|   -20  |       0.01        |
|   -30  |       0.001       |
|   -40  |       0.0001      |
|   -50  |       0.00001     |             |
|   -60  |       0.000001    |             |
|   -70  |       0.0000001   |             v
|   -80  |       0.00000001  |    sensitive receiver
|   -90  |       0.000000001 |

When I think of it like this I find that it's easier to see that the more negative the dBm value then the farther to the right of the decimal the actual power value is.

When it comes to mobile networks, it not so much that they aren't powerful enough, rather it is that they are more sensitive. When you see receivers specs with dBm far into the negative values, then what you are seeing is more sensitive equipment.

Normally you would want your transmitter to be powerful (further in to the positives) and your receiver to be sensitive (further in to the negatives).

How can we store into an NSDictionary? What is the difference between NSDictionary and NSMutableDictionary?

The key difference: NSMutableDictionary can be modified in place, NSDictionary cannot. This is true for all the other NSMutable* classes in Cocoa. NSMutableDictionary is a subclass of NSDictionary, so everything you can do with NSDictionary you can do with both. However, NSMutableDictionary also adds complementary methods to modify things in place, such as the method setObject:forKey:.

You can convert between the two like this:

NSMutableDictionary *mutable = [[dict mutableCopy] autorelease];
NSDictionary *dict = [[mutable copy] autorelease];

Presumably you want to store data by writing it to a file. NSDictionary has a method to do this (which also works with NSMutableDictionary):

BOOL success = [dict writeToFile:@"/file/path" atomically:YES];

To read a dictionary from a file, there's a corresponding method:

NSDictionary *dict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:@"/file/path"];

If you want to read the file as an NSMutableDictionary, simply use:

NSMutableDictionary *dict = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:@"/file/path"];

Explain why constructor inject is better than other options

Constructor injection is used when the class cannot function without the dependent class.

Property injection is used when the class can function without the dependent class.

As a concrete example, consider a ServiceRepository which depends on IService to do its work. Since ServiceRepository cannot function usefully without IService, it makes sense to have it injected via the constructor.

The same ServiceRepository class may use a Logger to do tracing. The ILogger can be injected via Property injection.

Other common examples of Property injection are ICache (another aspect in AOP terminology) or IBaseProperty (a property in the base class).

How can I use ":" as an AWK field separator?

"-F" is a command line argument, not AWK syntax. Try:

How to create a library project in Android Studio and an application project that uses the library project

Google’s Gradle Plugin recommended way for configuring your gradle files to build multiple projects has some shortcomings If you have multiple projects depending upon one library project, this post briefly explain Google’s recommended configuration, its shortcomings, and recommend a different way to configure your gradle files to support multi-project setups in Android Studio:

An alternative multiproject setup for android studio

A Different Way :

It turns out there’s a better way to manage multiple projects in Android Studio. The trick is to create separate Android Studio projects for your libraries and to tell gradle that the module for the library that your app depends on is located in the library’s project directory. If you wanted to use this method with the project structure I’ve described above, you would do the following:

Create an Android Studio project for the StickyListHeaders library
Create an Android Studio project for App2
Create an Android Studio project for App1
Configure App1 and App2 to build the modules in the StickyListHeaders project.

The 4th step is the hard part, so that’s the only step that I’ll describe in detail. You can reference modules that are external to your project’s directory by adding a project statement in your settings.gradle file and by setting the projectDir property on the ProjectDescriptor object that’s returned by that project statement:

The code one has to put in settings.gradle:

include ':library1'
project(':library1').projectDir = new File('../StickyListHeader/library1')

If you’ve done this correctly, you’ll notice that the modules referenced by your project will show up in the project navigator, even if those modules are external to the project directory:

This allows you to work on library code and app code simultaneously. Version control integration also works just fine when you reference modules externally this way. You can commit and push your modifications to the library code just like you can commit and push modifications to your app code.

This way of setting up multiple projects avoids the difficulties that plague Google’s recommended configuration. Because we are referencing a module that is outside of the project directory we don’t have to make extra copies of the library module for every app that depends on it and we can version our libraries without any sort of git submodule nonsense.

Unfortunately, this other way of setting up multiple projects is very difficult to find. Obviously, its not something you’ll figure out from looking at Google’s guide, and at this point, there’s no way to configure your projects in this way by using the UI of Android Studio.

Stacking DIVs on top of each other?

I know that this post is a little old but I had the same problem and tried to fix it several hours. Finally I found the solution:

if we have 2 boxes positioned absolue

<div style='left: 100px; top: 100px; position: absolute; width: 200px; height: 200px;'></div>
<div style='left: 100px; top: 100px; position: absolute; width: 200px; height: 200px;'></div>

we do expect that there will be one box on the screen. To do that we must set margin-bottom equal to -height, so doing like this:

<div style='left: 100px; top: 100px; position: absolute; width: 200px; height: 200px; margin-bottom: -200px;'></div>
<div style='left: 100px; top: 100px; position: absolute; width: 200px; height: 200px; margin-bottom: -200px;'></div>

works fine for me.

ImproperlyConfigured: You must either define the environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE or call settings.configure() before accessing settings

In my case it was the use of the call_command module that posed a problem.
I added set DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=mysite.settings but it didn't work.

I finally found it:

add these lines at the top of the script, and the order matters.

import os
os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "mysite.settings")

import django
django.setup()

from django.core.management import call_command

Class has no member named

Try to define the functions right into the header

 #ifndef ATTACK_H
 #define ATTACK_H

 class Attack {
     public:
         Attack(){};
         void printShiz(){};
     protected:
     private: };

 #endif // ATTACK_H

and to compile. If the compiler doesn't complain about duplicate definitions it means you forgot to compile the Class.cpp file, then you simply need to do it (add it to your Makefile/project/solution... which toolchain are you using?)

How to 'bulk update' with Django?

Django 2.2 version now has a bulk_update method (release notes).

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/ref/models/querysets/#bulk-update

Example:

# get a pk: record dictionary of existing records
updates = YourModel.objects.filter(...).in_bulk()
....
# do something with the updates dict
....
if hasattr(YourModel.objects, 'bulk_update') and updates:
    # Use the new method
    YourModel.objects.bulk_update(updates.values(), [list the fields to update], batch_size=100)
else:
    # The old & slow way
    with transaction.atomic():
        for obj in updates.values():
            obj.save(update_fields=[list the fields to update])

Node - was compiled against a different Node.js version using NODE_MODULE_VERSION 51

I had the same problem and nothing mentioned here worked for me. Here is what worked for me:

Require all dependencies you need in the main.js file that is run by electron. (this seemed to be the first important part for me)
Run npm i -D electron-rebuild to add the electron-rebuild package
Remove the node-modules folder, as well as the packages-lock.json file.
Run npm i to install all modules.
Run ./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild (.\node_modules\.bin\electron-rebuild.cmd for Windows) to rebuild everything

It is very important to run ./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild directly after npm i otherwise it did not work on my mac.

I hope I could help some frustrated souls.

Update multiple rows in same query using PostgreSQL

You can also use update ... from syntax and use a mapping table. If you want to update more than one column, it's much more generalizable:

update test as t set
    column_a = c.column_a
from (values
    ('123', 1),
    ('345', 2)  
) as c(column_b, column_a) 
where c.column_b = t.column_b;

You can add as many columns as you like:

update test as t set
    column_a = c.column_a,
    column_c = c.column_c
from (values
    ('123', 1, '---'),
    ('345', 2, '+++')  
) as c(column_b, column_a, column_c) 
where c.column_b = t.column_b;

Reload an iframe with jQuery

Reload an iframe with jQuery

make a link inside the iframe lets say with id = "reload" then use following code

$('#reload').click(function() {
    document.location.reload();
});

and you are good to go with all browsers.

Reload an iframe with HTML (no Java Script req.)

It have more simpler solution: which works without javaScript in (FF, Webkit)

just make an anchor inSide your iframe

   <a href="#" target="_SELF">Refresh Comments</a>

When you click this anchor it just refresh your iframe

But if you have parameter send to your iframe then do it as following.

  <a id="comnt-limit" href="?id=<?= $page_id?>" target="_SELF">Refresh Comments</a>

do not need any page url because -> target="_SELF" do it for you

How to combine multiple inline style objects?

Array notaion is the best way of combining styles in react native.

This shows how to combine 2 Style objects,

<Text style={[styles.base, styles.background]} >Test </Text>

this shows how to combine Style object and property,

<Text style={[styles.base, {color: 'red'}]} >Test </Text>

This will work on any react native application.

How to overlay density plots in R?

That's how I do it in base (it's actually mentionned in the first answer comments but I'll show the full code here, including legend as I can not comment yet...)

First you need to get the info on the max values for the y axis from the density plots. So you need to actually compute the densities separately first

dta_A <- density(VarA, na.rm = TRUE)
dta_B <- density(VarB, na.rm = TRUE)

Then plot them according to the first answer and define min and max values for the y axis that you just got. (I set the min value to 0)

plot(dta_A, col = "blue", main = "2 densities on one plot"), 
     ylim = c(0, max(dta_A$y,dta_B$y)))  
lines(dta_B, col = "red")

Then add a legend to the top right corner

legend("topright", c("VarA","VarB"), lty = c(1,1), col = c("blue","red"))

jQuery - on change input text

I recently was wondering why my code doesn't work, then I realized, I need to setup the event handlers as soon as the document is loaded, otherwise when browser loads the code line by line, it loads the JavaScript, but it does not yet have the element to assign the event handler to it. with your example, it should be like this:

$(document).ready(function(){
     $("#kat").change(function(){ 
         alert("Hello");
     });
});

How to check if object has any properties in JavaScript?

When sure that the object is a user-defined one, the easiest way to determine if UDO is empty, would be the following code:

isEmpty=
/*b.b Troy III p.a.e*/
function(x,p){for(p in x)return!1;return!0};

Even though this method is (by nature) a deductive one, - it's the quickest, and fastest possible.

a={};
isEmpty(a) >> true

a.b=1
isEmpty(a) >> false

p.s.: !don't use it on browser-defined objects.

How to write and read a file with a HashMap?

The simplest solution that I can think of is using Properties class.

Saving the map:

Map<String, String> ldapContent = new HashMap<String, String>();
Properties properties = new Properties();

for (Map.Entry<String,String> entry : ldapContent.entrySet()) {
    properties.put(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue());
}

properties.store(new FileOutputStream("data.properties"), null);

Loading the map:

Map<String, String> ldapContent = new HashMap<String, String>();
Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.load(new FileInputStream("data.properties"));

for (String key : properties.stringPropertyNames()) {
   ldapContent.put(key, properties.get(key).toString());
}

EDIT:

if your map contains plaintext values, they will be visible if you open file data via any text editor, which is not the case if you serialize the map:

ObjectOutputStream out = new ObjectOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("data.ser"));
out.writeObject(ldapContent);
out.close();

EDIT2:

instead of for loop (as suggested by OldCurmudgeon) in saving example:

properties.putAll(ldapContent);

however, for the loading example this is the best that can be done:

ldapContent = new HashMap<Object, Object>(properties);

Get the IP Address of local computer

In DEV C++, I used pure C with WIN32, with this given piece of code:

case IDC_IP:

             gethostname(szHostName, 255);
             host_entry=gethostbyname(szHostName);
             szLocalIP = inet_ntoa (*(struct in_addr *)*host_entry->h_addr_list);
             //WSACleanup(); 
             writeInTextBox("\n");
             writeInTextBox("IP: "); 
             writeInTextBox(szLocalIP);
             break;

When I click the button 'show ip', it works. But on the second time, the program quits (without warning or error). When I do:

//WSACleanup();

The program does not quit, even clicking the same button multiple times with fastest speed. So WSACleanup() may not work well with Dev-C++..

Passing parameters to JavaScript files

It's not valid html (I don't think) but it seems to work if you create a custom attribute for the script tag in your webpage:

<script id="myScript" myCustomAttribute="some value" ....>

Then access the custom attribute in the javascript:

var myVar = document.getElementById( "myScript" ).getAttribute( "myCustomAttribute" );

Not sure if this is better or worse than parsing the script source string.

event.preventDefault() function not working in IE

FWIW, in case anyone revisits this question later, you might also check what you are handing to your onKeyPress handler function.

I ran into this error when I mistakenly passed onKeyPress(this) instead of onKeyPress(event).

Just something else to check.

Using `date` command to get previous, current and next month

the main problem occur when you don't have date --date option available and you don't have permission to install it, then try below -

DEC-2016 
Current month
#cal -3|awk 'NR==1{print toupper(substr($3,1,3))"-"$4}'

Python mock multiple return values

You can assign an iterable to side_effect, and the mock will return the next value in the sequence each time it is called:

>>> from unittest.mock import Mock
>>> m = Mock()
>>> m.side_effect = ['foo', 'bar', 'baz']
>>> m()
'foo'
>>> m()
'bar'
>>> m()
'baz'

Quoting the Mock() documentation:

If side_effect is an iterable then each call to the mock will return the next value from the iterable.

How to access custom attributes from event object in React?

As of React v16.1.1 (2017), here is the official solution: https://reactjs.org/docs/handling-events.html#passing-arguments-to-event-handlers

TLDR: OP should do:

render: function() {
...
<a style={showStyle} onClick={(e) => this.removeTag(i, e)}></a>
...
removeTag: function(i, event) {
    this.setState({inputVal: i}); 
}

How can I compare two strings in java and define which of them is smaller than the other alphabetically?

If you would like to ignore case you could use the following:

String s = "yip";
String best = "yodel";
int compare = s.compareToIgnoreCase(best);
if(compare < 0){
    //-1, --> s is less than best. ( s comes alphabetically first)
}
else if(compare > 0 ){
// best comes alphabetically first.
}
else{
    // strings are equal.
}

How to check if object has been disposed in C#

If you're not sure whether the object has been disposed or not, you should call the Dispose method itself rather than methods such as Close. While the framework doesn't guarantee that the Dispose method must run without exceptions even if the object had previously been disposed, it's a common pattern and to my knowledge implemented on all disposable objects in the framework.

The typical pattern for Dispose, as per Microsoft:

public void Dispose() 
{
    Dispose(true);

    // Use SupressFinalize in case a subclass
    // of this type implements a finalizer.
    GC.SuppressFinalize(this);      
}

protected virtual void Dispose(bool disposing)
{
    // If you need thread safety, use a lock around these 
    // operations, as well as in your methods that use the resource.
    if (!_disposed)
    {
        if (disposing) {
            if (_resource != null)
                _resource.Dispose();
                Console.WriteLine("Object disposed.");
        }

        // Indicate that the instance has been disposed.
        _resource = null;
        _disposed = true;   
    }
}

Notice the check on _disposed. If you were to call a Dispose method implementing this pattern, you could call Dispose as many times as you wanted without hitting exceptions.

What is the use of "using namespace std"?

When you make a call to using namespace <some_namespace>; all symbols in that namespace will become visible without adding the namespace prefix. A symbol may be for instance a function, class or a variable.

E.g. if you add using namespace std; you can write just cout instead of std::cout when calling the operator cout defined in the namespace std.

This is somewhat dangerous because namespaces are meant to be used to avoid name collisions and by writing using namespace you spare some code, but loose this advantage. A better alternative is to use just specific symbols thus making them visible without the namespace prefix. Eg:

#include <iostream>
using std::cout;

int main() {
  cout << "Hello world!";
  return 0;
}

The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.facebook.sdk error 2.) ios6

This worked for me:

Go to the settings app of your iPhone.
Open your Facebook Settings
Scroll down to your app and make sure your app allows facebook interaction.

This could happen on any device, therefore in your app you will have to make sure to handle this error correctly. I reckon you give the user feedback why Login With Facebook failed and ask the user to check their Facebook settings on their device.

 - (void)facebookSessionStateChanged:(FBSession *)session state:(FBSessionState)state error:(NSError *)error
{
    switch (state) {
        case FBSessionStateOpen:
            // handle successful login here
        case FBSessionStateClosed:
        case FBSessionStateClosedLoginFailed:
            [FBSession.activeSession closeAndClearTokenInformation];

            if (error) {
                // handle error here, for example by showing an alert to the user
                UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Could not login with Facebook"
                                                                message:@"Facebook login failed. Please check your Facebook settings on your phone."
                                                               delegate:nil
                                                      cancelButtonTitle:@"OK"
                                                  otherButtonTitles:nil];
                [alert show];
            }
            break;
        default:
            break;
    }

Changing Fonts Size in Matlab Plots

If anyone was wondering how to change the font sizes without messing around with the Matlab default fonts, and change every font in a figure, I found this thread where suggests this:

set(findall(fig, '-property', 'FontSize'), 'FontSize', 10, 'fontWeight', 'bold')

findall is a pretty handy command and in the case above it really finds all the children who have a 'FontSize' property: axes lables, axes titles, pushbuttons, etc.

Hope it helps.

Programmatically Lighten or Darken a hex color (or rgb, and blend colors)

I made a port of the excellent xcolor library to remove its jQuery dependency. There are a ton of functions in there including lightening and darkening colors.

Really, converting hex to RGB is a completely separate function from lightening or darkening colors. Keep things DRY please. In any case, once you have an RGB color, you can just add the difference between the light level you want and the light level you have to each of the RGB values:

var lightness = function(level) {
    if(level === undefined) {
        return Math.max(this.g,this.r,this.b)
    } else {
        var roundedLevel = Math.round(level) // fractions won't work here
        var levelChange = roundedLevel - this.lightness()

        var r = Math.max(0,this.r+levelChange)
        var g = Math.max(0,this.g+levelChange)
        var b = Math.max(0,this.b+levelChange)

        if(r > 0xff) r = 0xff
        if(g > 0xff) g = 0xff
        if(b > 0xff) b = 0xff

        return xolor({r: r, g: g, b: b})
    }
}

var lighter = function(amount) {
    return this.lightness(this.lightness()+amount)
}

How to determine tables size in Oracle

Here is a query, you can run it in SQL Developer (or SQL*Plus):

SELECT DS.TABLESPACE_NAME, SEGMENT_NAME, ROUND(SUM(DS.BYTES) / (1024 * 1024)) AS MB
  FROM DBA_SEGMENTS DS
  WHERE SEGMENT_NAME IN (SELECT TABLE_NAME FROM DBA_TABLES)
 GROUP BY DS.TABLESPACE_NAME,
       SEGMENT_NAME;

Color picker utility (color pipette) in Ubuntu

I recommend GPick:

sudo apt-get install gpick

Applications -> Graphics -> GPick

It has many more features than gcolor2 but is still extremely simple to use: click on one of the hex swatches, move your mouse around the screen over the colours you want to pick, then press the Space bar to add to your swatch list.

If that doesn't work, another way is to click-and-drag from the centre of the hexagon and release your mouse over the pixel that you want to sample. Then immediately hit Space to copy that color into the next swatch in rotation.

It also has a traditional colour picker (like gcolor2) in the bottom right-hand corner of the window to allow you to pick individual colours with magnification.

SQL update statement in C#

string constr = @"Data Source=(LocalDB)\v11.0;Initial Catalog=Bank;Integrated Security=True;Pooling=False";
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(constr);
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
con.Open();
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(" UPDATE Account  SET name = Aleesha, CID = 24 Where name =Areeba and CID =11 )";
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();

Simple Random Samples from a Sql database

Starting with the observation that we can retrieve the ids of a table (eg. count 5) based on a set:

select *
from table_name
where _id in (4, 1, 2, 5, 3)

we can come to the result that if we could generate the string "(4, 1, 2, 5, 3)", then we would have a more efficient way than RAND().

For example, in Java:

ArrayList<Integer> indices = new ArrayList<Integer>(rowsCount);
for (int i = 0; i < rowsCount; i++) {
    indices.add(i);
}
Collections.shuffle(indices);
String inClause = indices.toString().replace('[', '(').replace(']', ')');

If ids have gaps, then the initial arraylist indices is the result of an sql query on ids.

How to debug Spring Boot application with Eclipse?

<tomcat bin dir>/startup.sh jpda

this will enable remote debugging on port 8000

Looping through a Scripting.Dictionary using index/item number

Adding to assylias's answer - assylias shows us D.ITEMS is a method that returns an array. Knowing that, we don't need the variant array a(i) [See caveat below]. We just need to use the proper array syntax.

For i = 0 To d.Count - 1
    s = d.Items()(i)
    Debug.Print s
Next i()

KEYS works the same way

For i = 0 To d.Count - 1
    Debug.Print d.Keys()(i), d.Items()(i)
Next i

This syntax is also useful for the SPLIT function which may help make this clearer. SPLIT also returns an array with lower bounds at 0. Thus, the following prints "C".

Debug.Print Split("A,B,C,D", ",")(2)

SPLIT is a function. Its parameters are in the first set of parentheses. Methods and Functions always use the first set of parentheses for parameters, even if no parameters are needed. In the example SPLIT returns the array {"A","B","C","D"}. Since it returns an array we can use a second set of parentheses to identify an element within the returned array just as we would any array.

Caveat: This shorter syntax may not be as efficient as using the variant array a() when iterating through the entire dictionary since the shorter syntax invokes the dictionary's Items method with each iteration. The shorter syntax is best for plucking a single item by number from a dictionary.

How do I restrict an input to only accept numbers?

Try this,

<input ng-keypress="validation($event)">

 function validation(event) {
    var theEvent = event || window.event;
    var key = theEvent.keyCode || theEvent.which;
    key = String.fromCharCode(key);
    var regex = /[0-9]|\./;
    if (!regex.test(key)) {
        theEvent.returnValue = false;
        if (theEvent.preventDefault) theEvent.preventDefault();
    }

}

How to access parameters in a Parameterized Build?

You can also try using parameters directive for making your build parameterized and accessing parameters:

Doc: Pipeline syntax: Parameters

Example:

pipeline{

agent { node { label 'test' } }
options { skipDefaultCheckout() }

parameters {
    string(name: 'suiteFile', defaultValue: '', description: 'Suite File')
}
stages{

    stage('Initialize'){

        steps{

          echo "${params.suiteFile}"

        }
    }
 }

How do I disable a Pylint warning?

There are several ways to disable warnings & errors from Pylint. Which one to use has to do with how globally or locally you want to apply the disablement -- an important design decision.

Multiple Approaches

In one or more pylintrc files.

This involves more than the ~/.pylintrc file (in your $HOME directory) as described by Chris Morgan. Pylint will search for rc files, with a precedence that values "closer" files more highly:

A pylintrc file in the current working directory; or
If the current working directory is in a Python module (i.e. it contains an __init__.py file), searching up the hierarchy of Python modules until a pylintrc file is found; or
The file named by the environment variable PYLINTRC; or
If you have a home directory that isn’t /root:
- ~/.pylintrc; or
- ~/.config/pylintrc; or
- /etc/pylintrc

Note that most of these files are named pylintrc -- only the file in ~ has a leading dot.

To your pylintrc file, add lines to disable specific pylint messages. For example:

[MESSAGES CONTROL]
disable=locally-disabled

Further disables from the pylint command line, as described by Aboo and Cairnarvon. This looks like pylint --disable=bad-builtin. Repeat --disable to suppress additional items.
Further disables from individual Python code lines, as described by Imolit. These look like some statement # pylint: disable=broad-except (extra comment on the end of the original source line) and apply only to the current line. My approach is to always put these on the end of other lines of code so they won't be confused with the block style, see below.
Further disables defined for larger blocks of Python code, up to complete source files.
- These look like # pragma pylint: disable=bad-whitespace (note the pragma key word).
- These apply to every line after the pragma. Putting a block of these at the top of a file makes the suppressions apply to the whole file. Putting the same block lower in the file makes them apply only to lines following the block. My approach is to always put these on a line of their own so they won't be confused with the single-line style, see above.
- When a suppression should only apply within a span of code, use # pragma pylint: enable=bad-whitespace (now using enable not disable) to stop suppressing.

Note that disabling for a single line uses the # pylint syntax while disabling for this line onward uses the # pragma pylint syntax. These are easy to confuse especially when copying & pasting.

Putting It All Together

I usually use a mix of these approaches.

I use ~/.pylintrc for absolutely global standards -- very few of these.
I use project-level pylintrc at different levels within Python modules when there are project-specific standards. Especially when you're taking in code from another person or team, you may find they use conventions that you don't prefer, but you don't want to rework the code. Keeping the settings at this level helps not spread those practices to other projects.
I use the block style pragmas at the top of single source files. I like to turn the pragmas off (stop suppressing messages) in the heat of development even for Pylint standards I don't agree with (like "too few public methods" -- I always get that warning on custom Exception classes) -- but it's helpful to see more / maybe all Pylint messages while you're developing. That way you can find the cases you want to address with single-line pragmas (see below), or just add comments for the next developer to explain why that warning is OK in this case.
I leave some of the block-style pragmas enabled even when the code is ready to check in. I try to use few of those, but when it makes sense for the module, it's OK to do as documentation. However I try to leave as few on as possible, preferably none.
I use the single-line-comment style to address especially potent errors. For example, if there's a place where it actually makes sense to do except Exception as exc, I put the # pylint: disable=broad-except on that line instead of a more global approach because this is a strange exception and needs to be called out, basically as a form of documentation.

Like everything else in Python, you can act at different levels of indirection. My advice is to think about what belongs at what level so you don't end up with a too-lenient approach to Pylint.

Clip/Crop background-image with CSS

Another option is to use linear-gradient() to cover up the edges of your image. Note that this is a stupid solution, so I'm not going to put much effort into explaining it...

How to add icons to React Native app

I would like to suggest to use react-native-vector-icons to import icons to your project. As you use vector icons, you don't need to worry much on icon scaling side. While using the package you are able to use all popular icon set such as fontawesome, ionicons etc..

Besides these iconsets you can also bring your own icons too to your react-native project by packing your icons as a ttf file and you can import that ttf directly to both android and ios project. You can utilise the same react-native-vector-icons library to manage those icons

Here is a detailed procedure to setup custom icons

When you have too complex objects with saveral collection could not be good idea to have all of them with EAGER fetchType, better use LAZY and when you really need to load the collections use: Hibernate.initialize(parent.child) to fetch the data.

How to fill DataTable with SQL Table

You can make method which return the datatable of given sql query:

public DataTable GetDataTable()
{
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["BarManConnectionString"].ConnectionString);
conn.Open();
string query = "SELECT * FROM [EventOne] ";

SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(query, conn);

DataTable t1 = new DataTable();
using (SqlDataAdapter a = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd))
{
    a.Fill(t1);
}
return t1;
}

and now can be used like this:

table = GetDataTable();

Why is IoC / DI not common in Python?

I don't actually think that DI/IoC are that uncommon in Python. What is uncommon, however, are DI/IoC frameworks/containers.

Think about it: what does a DI container do? It allows you to

wire together independent components into a complete application ...
... at runtime.

We have names for "wiring together" and "at runtime":

scripting
dynamic

So, a DI container is nothing but an interpreter for a dynamic scripting language. Actually, let me rephrase that: a typical Java/.NET DI container is nothing but a crappy interpreter for a really bad dynamic scripting language with butt-ugly, sometimes XML-based, syntax.

When you program in Python, why would you want to use an ugly, bad scripting language when you have a beautiful, brilliant scripting language at your disposal? Actually, that's a more general question: when you program in pretty much any language, why would you want to use an ugly, bad scripting language when you have Jython and IronPython at your disposal?

So, to recap: the practice of DI/IoC is just as important in Python as it is in Java, for exactly the same reasons. The implementation of DI/IoC however, is built into the language and often so lightweight that it completely vanishes.

(Here's a brief aside for an analogy: in assembly, a subroutine call is a pretty major deal - you have to save your local variables and registers to memory, save your return address somewhere, change the instruction pointer to the subroutine you are calling, arrange for it to somehow jump back into your subroutine when it is finished, put the arguments somewhere where the callee can find them, and so on. IOW: in assembly, "subroutine call" is a Design Pattern, and before there were languages like Fortran which had subroutine calls built in, people were building their own "subroutine frameworks". Would you say that subroutine calls are "uncommon" in Python, just because you don't use subroutine frameworks?)

BTW: for an example of what it looks like to take DI to its logical conclusion, take a look at Gilad Bracha's Newspeak Programming Language and his writings on the subject:

Android WebView, how to handle redirects in app instead of opening a browser

You will have to set your custom WebviewClient overriding shouldOverrideUrlLoading method for your webview before loading the url.

mWebView.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient()
        {
            @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
            @Override
            public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView webView, String url)
            {
                return shouldOverrideUrlLoading(url);
            }

            @TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.N)
            @Override
            public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView webView, WebResourceRequest request)
            {
                Uri uri = request.getUrl();
                return shouldOverrideUrlLoading(uri.toString());
            }

            private boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(final String url)
            {
                Log.i(TAG, "shouldOverrideUrlLoading() URL : " + url);

                // Here put your code

                return true; // Returning True means that application wants to leave the current WebView and handle the url itself, otherwise return false.
            }
        });

How can I stream webcam video with C#?

The usual API for this is DirectShow.

You can use P/Invoke to import the C++ APIs, but I think there are already a few projects out there that have done this.

http://channel9.msdn.com/forums/TechOff/93476-Programatically-Using-A-Webcam-In-C/

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/directx/DirXVidStrm.aspx

To get the streaming part, you probably want to use DirectShow to apply a compression codec to reduce lag, then you can get a Stream and transmit it. You could consider using multicast to reduce network load.

Pointer to incomplete class type is not allowed

One thing to check for...

If your class is defined as a typedef:

typedef struct myclass { };

Then you try to refer to it as struct myclass anywhere else, you'll get Incomplete Type errors left and right. It's sometimes a mistake to forget the class/struct was typedef'ed. If that's the case, remove "struct" from:

typedef struct mystruct {}...

struct mystruct *myvar = value;

Instead use...

mystruct *myvar = value;

Common mistake.

How to check if a variable is set in Bash?

I found a (much) better code to do this if you want to check for anything in $@.

if [[ $1 = "" ]]
then
  echo '$1 is blank'
else
  echo '$1 is filled up'
fi

Why this all? Everything in $@ exists in Bash, but by default it's blank, so test -z and test -n couldn't help you.

Update: You can also count number of characters in a parameters.

if [ ${#1} = 0 ]
then
  echo '$1 is blank'
else
  echo '$1 is filled up'
fi

How to position two elements side by side using CSS

None of these solutions seem to work if you increase the amount of text so it is larger than the width of the parent container, the element to the right still gets moved below the one to the left instead of remaining next to it. To fix this, you can apply this style to the left element:

position: absolute;
width: 50px;

And apply this style to the right element:

margin-left: 50px;

Just make sure that the margin-left for the right element is greater than or equal to the width of the left element. No floating or other attributes are necessary. I would suggest wrapping these elements in a div with the style:

display: inline-block;

Applying this style may not be necessary depending on surrounding elements

Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/2b0bqqse/

You can see the text to the right is taller than the element to the left outlined in black. If you remove the absolute positioning and margin and instead use float as others have suggested, the text to the right will drop down below the element to the left

Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/qrx78u20/

How do I keep Python print from adding newlines or spaces?

In python 2.6:

>>> print 'h','m','h'
h m h
>>> from __future__ import print_function
>>> print('h',end='')
h>>> print('h',end='');print('m',end='');print('h',end='')
hmh>>>
>>> print('h','m','h',sep='');
hmh
>>>

So using print_function from __future__ you can set explicitly the sep and end parameteres of print function.

TypeError: 'in <string>' requires string as left operand, not int

You simply need to make cab a string:

cab = '6176'

As the error message states, you cannot do <int> in <string>:

>>> 1 in '123'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: 'in <string>' requires string as left operand, not int
>>>

because integers and strings are two totally different things and Python does not embrace implicit type conversion ("Explicit is better than implicit.").

In fact, Python only allows you to use the in operator with a right operand of type string if the left operand is also of type string:

>>> '1' in '123'  # Works!
True
>>>
>>> [] in '123'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: 'in <string>' requires string as left operand, not list
>>>

IntelliJ: Error:java: error: release version 5 not supported

The solution to the problem is already defined in some of the answers. But there is still a need to express a detail. The problem is totally related to maven, and the solution is also in the pom.xml configuration. IntelliJ only reads maven configuration, and if the configuration has wrong information, IntelliJ also tries to use that.

To solve the problem, as expressed in the most of the answers, just add the below properties to the pom.xml of the project.

<properties> 
      <maven.compiler.source>1.8</maven.compiler.source> 
      <maven.compiler.target>1.8</maven.compiler.target> 
</properties>

After that, on the IntelliJ side, reimport maven configuration. To reimport the maven configuration, right click on pom.xml file of the project and select Reimport. Compiler version related information in IntelliJ preferences will be automatically updated according to the values in the pom.xml.

How to create full path with node's fs.mkdirSync?

You can use the next function

const recursiveUpload = (path: string) => { const paths = path.split("/")

const fullPath = paths.reduce((accumulator, current) => {
  fs.mkdirSync(accumulator)
  return `${accumulator}/${current}`
  })

  fs.mkdirSync(fullPath)

  return fullPath
}

So what it does:

Create paths variable, where it stores every path by itself as an element of the array.
Adds "/" at the end of each element in the array.
Makes for the cycle:
1. Creates a directory from the concatenation of array elements which indexes are from 0 to current iteration. Basically, it is recursive.

Hope that helps!

By the way, in Node v10.12.0 you can use recursive path creation by giving it as the additional argument.

fs.mkdir('/tmp/a/apple', { recursive: true }, (err) => { if (err) throw err; });

Writing Unicode text to a text file?

In case of writing in python3

>>> a = u'bats\u00E0'
>>> print a
batsà
>>> f = open("/tmp/test", "w")
>>> f.write(a)
>>> f.close()
>>> data = open("/tmp/test").read()
>>> data
'batsà'

In case of writing in python2:

>>> a = u'bats\u00E0'
>>> f = open("/tmp/test", "w")
>>> f.write(a)

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe0' in position 4: ordinal not in range(128)

To avoid this error you would have to encode it to bytes using codecs "utf-8" like this:

>>> f.write(a.encode("utf-8"))
>>> f.close()

and decode the data while reading using the codecs "utf-8":

>>> data = open("/tmp/test").read()
>>> data.decode("utf-8")
u'bats\xe0'

And also if you try to execute print on this string it will automatically decode using the "utf-8" codecs like this

>>> print a
batsà

Writing .csv files from C++

If you wirte to a .csv file in C++ - you should use the syntax of :

myfile <<" %s; %s; %d", string1, string2, double1 <<endl;

This will write the three variables (string 1&2 and double1) into separate columns and leave an empty row below them. In excel the ; means the new row, so if you want to just take a new row - you can alos write a simple ";" before writing your new data into the file. If you don't want to have an empty row below - you should delete the endl and use the:

myfile.open("result.csv", std::ios::out | std::ios::app);

syntax when opening the .csv file (example the result.csv). In this way next time you write something into your result.csv file - it will write it into a new row directly below the last one - so you can easily manage a for cycle if you would like to.

Is there a way to cache GitHub credentials for pushing commits?

I know this is not a secure solution, but sometimes you need just a simple solution - without installing anything else. And since helper = store did not work for me, I created a dummy helper:

Create a script and put it in your users bin folder, here named credfake, this script will provide your username and your password:

#!/bin/bash
while read line
do
  echo "$line"
done < "/dev/stdin"
echo username=mahuser
echo password=MahSecret12345

make it executable:

chmod u+x /home/mahuser/bin/credfake

then configure it in git:

git config --global credential.helper /home/mahuser/bin/credfake

(or use it without --global for the one repo only)

and - voilá - git will use this user + password.

How to run Python script on terminal?

Let's say your script is called my_script.py and you have put it in your Downloads folder.

There are many ways of installing Python, but homebrew is the easiest.

0) Open Terminal.app

1) Install homebrew (by pasting the following text into Terminal.app and pressing the Enter key)

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

2) Install Python using homebrew

brew install python

3) cd into the directory that contains your Python script (as an example I'm using the Downloads (Downloads) folder in your home (~) folder):

cd ~/Downloads

4) Run the script using the python3 executable

python3 my_script.py

You can also skip step 3 and give python3 an absolute path instead

python3 ~/Downloads/my_script.py

Instead of typing out that whole thing (~/Downloads/my_script.py), you can find the .py file in Finder.app and just drag it into the Terminal.app window which should type out the path for you.

If you have spaces or certain other symbols somewhere in your filename you need to enclose the file name in quotes:

python3 "~/Downloads/some directory with spaces/and a filename with a | character.py"

Note that you need to install it as brew install python but later use the command python3 (with a 3 at the end).

How do I directly modify a Google Chrome Extension File? (.CRX)

(Already said) I found this out while making some Chrome themes (which are long gone now... :-P)

Chrome themes, extensions, etc. are just compressed files. Get 7-zip or WinRar to unzip it. Each extension/theme has a manifest.json file. Open the manifest.json file in notepad. Then, if you know the coding, modify the code. There will be some other files. If you look in the manifest file you might be able to figure out what the are for. Then, you can change everything...

How to run shell script on host from docker container?

Used a named pipe. On the host os, create a script to loop and read commands, and then you call eval on that.

Have the docker container read to that named pipe.

To be able to access the pipe, you need to mount it via a volume.

This is similar to the SSH mechanism (or a similar socket based method), but restricts you properly to the host device, which is probably better. Plus you don't have to be passing around authentication information.

My only warning is to be cautious about why you are doing this. It's totally something to do if you want to create a method to self upgrade with user input or whatever, but you probably don't want to call a command to get some config data, as the proper way would be to pass that in as args/volume into docker. Also be cautious about the fact that you are evaling, so just give the permission model a thought.

Some of.the other answers such as running a script.under a volume won't work generically since they won't have access to the full system resources, but it might be more appropriate depending on your usage.

Git for Windows: .bashrc or equivalent configuration files for Git Bash shell

If you want to have projects choice list when you open Git Bash:

Edit ppath in the code header to your Git projects path, put this code into .bashrc file, and copy it into your $HOME directory (in Windows Vista / Windows 7 it is often C:\Users\$YOU)

#!/bin/bash
ppath="/d/-projects/-github"
cd $ppath
unset PROJECTS
PROJECTS+=(".")
i=0

echo
echo -e "projects:\n-------------"

for f in *
do
    if [ -d "$f" ]
    then
        PROJECTS+=("$f")
        echo -e $((++i)) "- \e[1m$f\e[0m"
    fi
done


if [ ${#PROJECTS[@]} -gt 1 ]
then
    echo -ne "\nchoose project: "
    read proj
    case "$proj" in
        [0-`expr ${#PROJECTS[@]} - 1`]) cd "${PROJECTS[proj]}" ;;
        *) echo " wrong choice" ;;
    esac
else
    echo "there is no projects"
fi
unset PROJECTS

You may want set this file as executable inside Git Bash, chmod +x .bashrc (but it's probably redundant, since this file is stored on an NTFS filesystem)

How can I get CMake to find my alternative Boost installation?

Generally the most common mistake is not cleaning your build directory after adding new options. I have Boost installed from system packet manager. Its version is 1.49.

I also downloaded Boost 1.53 and "installed" it under $HOME/installs.

The only thing that I had to do in my project was to (I keep sources in my_project_directory/src):

cd my_project_directory
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH=$HOME/installs/include -DCMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/installs/lib ../src

And that's it. Ta bum tss.

But if I'd make after cd build -> cmake ../src it would set Boost from the system path. Then doing cmake -DCMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH=$HOME/installs/include -DCMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/installs/lib ../src would change nothing.

You have to clean your build directory ( cd build && rm -rf * ;) )

An internal error occurred during: "Updating Maven Project". java.lang.NullPointerException

So how can you do it from Kibana (version 5.6)?

Go to Dev Tools
See Console section, and run the following query:

How to export JavaScript array info to csv (on client side)?

In Chrome 35 update, download attribute behavior was changed.

https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=373182

to work this in chrome, use this

var pom = document.createElement('a');
var csvContent=csv; //here we load our csv data 
var blob = new Blob([csvContent],{type: 'text/csv;charset=utf-8;'});
var url = URL.createObjectURL(blob);
pom.href = url;
pom.setAttribute('download', 'foo.csv');
pom.click();

Short form for Java if statement

The ? : operator in Java

In Java you might write:

if (a > b) {
  max = a;
}
else {
  max = b;
}

Setting a single variable to one of two states based on a single condition is such a common use of if-else that a shortcut has been devised for it, the conditional operator, ?:. Using the conditional operator you can rewrite the above example in a single line like this:

max = (a > b) ? a : b;

(a > b) ? a : b; is an expression which returns one of two values, a or b. The condition, (a > b), is tested. If it is true the first value, a, is returned. If it is false, the second value, b, is returned. Whichever value is returned is dependent on the conditional test, a > b. The condition can be any expression which returns a boolean value.

JavaScript: Global variables after Ajax requests

It seems that your problem is simply a concurrency issue. The post function takes a callback argument to tell you when the post has been finished. You cannot make the alert in global scope like this and expect that the post has already been finished. You have to move it to the callback function.

BeautifulSoup getText from between <p>, not picking up subsequent paragraphs

You are getting close!

# Find all of the text between paragraph tags and strip out the html
page = soup.find('p').getText()

Using find (as you've noticed) stops after finding one result. You need find_all if you want all the paragraphs. If the pages are formatted consistently ( just looked over one), you could also use something like

soup.find('div',{'id':'ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_RichHtmlField1__ControlWrapper_RichHtmlField'})

to zero in on the body of the article.

How do I use System.getProperty("line.separator").toString()?

I think your problem is that String.split() treats its argument as a regex, and regexes treat newlines specially. You may need to explicitly create a regex object to pass to split() (there is another overload of it) and configure that regex to allow newlines by passing MULTILINE in the flags param of Pattern.compile().

How to use bootstrap-theme.css with bootstrap 3?

Upon downloading Bootstrap 3.x, you'll get bootstrap.css and bootstrap-theme.css (not to mention the minified versions of these files that are also present).

bootstrap.css

bootstrap.css is completely styled and ready to use, if such is your desire. It is perhaps a bit plain but it is ready and it is there.

You do not need to use bootstrap-theme.css if you don't want to and things will be just fine.

bootstrap-theme.css

bootstrap-theme.css is just what the name of the file is trying to suggest: it is a theme for bootstrap that is creatively considered 'THE bootstrap theme'. The name of the file confuses things just a bit since the base bootstrap.css already has styling applied and I, for one, would consider those styles to be the default. But that conclusion is apparently incorrect in light of things said in the Bootstrap documentation's examples section in regard to this bootstrap-theme.css file:

"Load the optional Bootstrap theme for a visually enhanced experience."

The above quote is found here http://getbootstrap.com/getting-started/#examples on a thumbnail that links to this example page http://getbootstrap.com/examples/theme/. The idea is that bootstrap-theme.css is THE bootstrap theme AND it's optional.

Themes at BootSwatch.com

About the themes at BootSwatch.com: These themes are not implemented like bootstrap-theme.css. The BootSwatch themes are modified versions of the original bootstrap.css. So, you should definitely NOT use a theme from BootSwatch AND the bootstrap-theme.css file at the same time.

Custom Theme

About Your Own Custom Theme: You might choose to modify bootstrap-theme.css when creating your own theme. Doing so may make it easier to make styling changes without accidentally breaking any of that built-in Bootstrap goodness.

MySQL "ERROR 1005 (HY000): Can't create table 'foo.#sql-12c_4' (errno: 150)"

Also both the tables need to have same character set.

for e.g.

CREATE TABLE1 (
  FIELD1 VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
  FIELD2 VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL
)ENGINE=INNODB CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_bin;

CREATE TABLE2 (
  Field3 varchar(64) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
  Field4 varchar(64) NOT NULL,
  CONSTRAINT FORIGEN KEY (Field3) REFERENCES TABLE1(FIELD1)
) ENGINE=InnoDB;

Will fail because they have different charsets. This is another subtle failure where mysql returns same error.

PuTTY scripting to log onto host

I want to suggest a common solution for those requirements, maybe it is a use for you: AutoIt. With that program, you can write scripts on top of any window like Putty and execute all commands you want to (like button pressing or mouse clicking in textboxes or buttons).

This way you can emulate all steps you are always doing with Putty.

Best practice to call ConfigureAwait for all server-side code

I have some general thoughts about the implementation of Task:

Task is disposable yet we are not supposed to use using.
ConfigureAwait was introduced in 4.5. Task was introduced in 4.0.
.NET Threads always used to flow the context (see C# via CLR book) but in the default implementation of Task.ContinueWith they do not b/c it was realised context switch is expensive and it is turned off by default.
The problem is a library developer should not care whether its clients need context flow or not hence it should not decide whether flow the context or not.
[Added later] The fact that there is no authoritative answer and proper reference and we keep fighting on this means someone has not done their job right.

I have got a few posts on the subject but my take - in addition to Tugberk's nice answer - is that you should turn all APIs asynchronous and ideally flow the context . Since you are doing async, you can simply use continuations instead of waiting so no deadlock will be cause since no wait is done in the library and you keep the flowing so the context is preserved (such as HttpContext).

Problem is when a library exposes a synchronous API but uses another asynchronous API - hence you need to use Wait()/Result in your code.

Redirecting to another page in ASP.NET MVC using JavaScript/jQuery

You are not subscribing to any success callback in your $.post AJAX call. Meaning that the request is executed, but you do nothing with the results. If you want to do something useful with the results, try:

$.post('/Branch/Details/' + id, function(result) {
    // Do something with the result like for example inject it into
    // some placeholder and update the DOM.
    // This obviously assumes that your controller action returns
    // a partial view otherwise you will break your markup
});

On the other hand if you want to redirect, you absolutely do not need AJAX. You use AJAX only when you want to stay on the same page and update only a portion of it.

So if you only wanted to redirect the browser:

function foo(id) {
    window.location.href = '/Branch/Details/' + id;
}

As a side note: You should never be hardcoding urls like this. You should always be using url helpers when dealing with urls in an ASP.NET MVC application. So:

function foo(id) {
    var url = '@Url.Action("Details", "Branch", new { id = "__id__" })';
    window.location.href = url.replace('__id__', id);
}

What is the difference between partitioning and bucketing a table in Hive ?

Partitioning data is often used for distributing load horizontally, this has performance benefit, and helps in organizing data in a logical fashion. Example: if we are dealing with a large employee table and often run queries with WHERE clauses that restrict the results to a particular country or department . For a faster query response Hive table can be PARTITIONED BY (country STRING, DEPT STRING). Partitioning tables changes how Hive structures the data storage and Hive will now create subdirectories reflecting the partitioning structure like

.../employees/country=ABC/DEPT=XYZ.

If query limits for employee from country=ABC, it will only scan the contents of one directory country=ABC. This can dramatically improve query performance, but only if the partitioning scheme reflects common filtering. Partitioning feature is very useful in Hive, however, a design that creates too many partitions may optimize some queries, but be detrimental for other important queries. Other drawback is having too many partitions is the large number of Hadoop files and directories that are created unnecessarily and overhead to NameNode since it must keep all metadata for the file system in memory.

Bucketing is another technique for decomposing data sets into more manageable parts. For example, suppose a table using date as the top-level partition and employee_id as the second-level partition leads to too many small partitions. Instead, if we bucket the employee table and use employee_id as the bucketing column, the value of this column will be hashed by a user-defined number into buckets. Records with the same employee_id will always be stored in the same bucket. Assuming the number of employee_id is much greater than the number of buckets, each bucket will have many employee_id. While creating table you can specify like CLUSTERED BY (employee_id) INTO XX BUCKETS; where XX is the number of buckets . Bucketing has several advantages. The number of buckets is fixed so it does not fluctuate with data. If two tables are bucketed by employee_id, Hive can create a logically correct sampling. Bucketing also aids in doing efficient map-side joins etc.

Do we have router.reload in vue-router?

this.$router.go() does exactly this; if no arguments are specified, the router navigates to current location, refreshing the page.

_{note: current implementation of router and its history components don't mark the param as optional, but IMVHO it's either a bug or an omission on Evan You's part, since the spec explicitly allows it. I've filed an issue report about it. If you're really concerned with current TS annotations, just use the equivalent this.$router.go(0)}

As to 'why is it so': go internally passes its arguments to window.history.go, so its equal to windows.history.go() - which, in turn, reloads the page, as per MDN doc.

_{note: since this executes a "soft" reload on regular desktop (non-portable) Firefox, a bunch of strange quirks may appear if you use it but in fact you require a true reload; using the window.location.reload(true); (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Location/reload) mentioned by OP instead may help - it certainly did solve my problems on FF.}

How to select the nth row in a SQL database table?

LIMIT n,1 doesn't work in MS SQL Server. I think it's just about the only major database that doesn't support that syntax.

For SQL server, I haven't been able to find an elegant solution.

Convert Java String to sql.Timestamp

Have you tried using Timestamp.valueOf(String)? It looks like it should do almost exactly what you want - you just need to change the separator between your date and time to a space, and the ones between hours and minutes, and minutes and hours, to colons:

import java.sql.*;

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String text = "2011-10-02 18:48:05.123456";
        Timestamp ts = Timestamp.valueOf(text);
        System.out.println(ts.getNanos());
    }
}

Assuming you've already validated the string length, this will convert to the right format:

static String convertSeparators(String input) {
    char[] chars = input.toCharArray();
    chars[10] = ' ';
    chars[13] = ':';
    chars[16] = ':';
    return new String(chars);
}

Alternatively, parse down to milliseconds by taking a substring and using Joda Time or SimpleDateFormat (I vastly prefer Joda Time, but your mileage may vary). Then take the remainder of the string as another string and parse it with Integer.parseInt. You can then combine the values pretty easily:

Date date = parseDateFromFirstPart();
int micros = parseJustLastThreeDigits();

Timestamp ts = new Timestamp(date.getTime());
ts.setNanos(ts.getNanos() + micros * 1000);

onMeasure custom view explanation

If you don't need to change something onMeasure - there's absolutely no need for you to override it.

Devunwired code (the selected and most voted answer here) is almost identical to what the SDK implementation already does for you (and I checked - it had done that since 2009).

You can check the onMeasure method here :

protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
    setMeasuredDimension(getDefaultSize(getSuggestedMinimumWidth(), widthMeasureSpec),
            getDefaultSize(getSuggestedMinimumHeight(), heightMeasureSpec));
}

public static int getDefaultSize(int size, int measureSpec) {
    int result = size;
    int specMode = MeasureSpec.getMode(measureSpec);
    int specSize = MeasureSpec.getSize(measureSpec);

    switch (specMode) {
    case MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED:
        result = size;
        break;
    case MeasureSpec.AT_MOST:
    case MeasureSpec.EXACTLY:
        result = specSize;
        break;
    }
    return result;
}

Overriding SDK code to be replaced with the exact same code makes no sense.

This official doc's piece that claims "the default onMeasure() will always set a size of 100x100" - is wrong.

How to set up Automapper in ASP.NET Core

I figured it out! Here's the details:

Add the main AutoMapper Package to your solution via NuGet.
Add the AutoMapper Dependency Injection Package to your solution via NuGet.

Create a new class for a mapping profile. (I made a class in the main solution directory called MappingProfile.cs and add the following code.) I'll use a User and UserDto object as an example.

 public class MappingProfile : Profile {
     public MappingProfile() {
         // Add as many of these lines as you need to map your objects
         CreateMap<User, UserDto>();
         CreateMap<UserDto, User>();
     }
 }

Then add the AutoMapperConfiguration in the Startup.cs as shown below:

 public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) {
     // .... Ignore code before this

    // Auto Mapper Configurations
     var mapperConfig = new MapperConfiguration(mc =>
     {
         mc.AddProfile(new MappingProfile());
     });

     IMapper mapper = mapperConfig.CreateMapper();
     services.AddSingleton(mapper);

     services.AddMvc();

 }

To invoke the mapped object in code, do something like the following:

 public class UserController : Controller {

     // Create a field to store the mapper object
     private readonly IMapper _mapper;

     // Assign the object in the constructor for dependency injection
     public UserController(IMapper mapper) {
         _mapper = mapper;
     }

     public async Task<IActionResult> Edit(string id) {

         // Instantiate source object
         // (Get it from the database or whatever your code calls for)
         var user = await _context.Users
             .SingleOrDefaultAsync(u => u.Id == id);

         // Instantiate the mapped data transfer object
         // using the mapper you stored in the private field.
         // The type of the source object is the first type argument
         // and the type of the destination is the second.
         // Pass the source object you just instantiated above
         // as the argument to the _mapper.Map<>() method.
         var model = _mapper.Map<UserDto>(user);

         // .... Do whatever you want after that!
     }
 }

I hope this helps someone starting fresh with ASP.NET Core! I welcome any feedback or criticisms as I'm still new to the .NET world!

How can I split a string into segments of n characters?

If you didn't want to use a regular expression...

var chunks = [];

for (var i = 0, charsLength = str.length; i < charsLength; i += 3) {
    chunks.push(str.substring(i, i + 3));
}

jsFiddle.

...otherwise the regex solution is pretty good :)

Easiest way to parse a comma delimited string to some kind of object I can loop through to access the individual values?

I think it's better to use the Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.TextFieldParser Class if you're working with comma separated values text files.

Pass user defined environment variable to tomcat

My recipe to fix it:

DID NOT WORK >> Set as system environment variable: I had set the environment variable in my mac bash_profile, however, Tomcat did not see that variable.
DID NOT WORK >> setenv.sh: Apache's recommendation was to have user-defined environment variables in setenv.sh file and I did that.
THIS WORKED!! >> After a little research into Tomcat startup scripts, I found that environment variables set using setenv.sh are lost during the startup. So I had to edit my catalina.sh against the recommendation of Apache and that did the trick.

Add your -DUSER_DEFINED variable in the run command in catalina.sh.

eval exec "\"$_RUNJAVA\"" "\"$LOGGING_CONFIG\"" $LOGGING_MANAGER $JAVA_OPTS $CATALINA_OPTS \
  -classpath "\"$CLASSPATH\"" \
  -Djava.security.manager \
  -Djava.security.policy=="\"$CATALINA_BASE/conf/catalina.policy\"" \
  -Dcatalina.base="\"$CATALINA_BASE\"" \
  -Dcatalina.home="\"$CATALINA_HOME\"" \
  -Djava.io.tmpdir="\"$CATALINA_TMPDIR\"" \
  -DUSER_DEFINED="$USER_DEFINED" \
  org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap "$@" start

P.S: This problem could have been local to my computer. Others would have different problems. Adding my answer to this post just in case anyone is still facing issues with Tomcat not seeing the environment vars after trying out all recommended approaches.

How to randomly select an item from a list?

How to randomly select an item from a list?

Assume I have the following list:
foo = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']  
What is the simplest way to retrieve an item at random from this list?

If you want close to truly random, then I suggest secrets.choice from the standard library (New in Python 3.6.):

>>> from secrets import choice         # Python 3 only
>>> choice(list('abcde'))
'c'

The above is equivalent to my former recommendation, using a SystemRandom object from the random module with the choice method - available earlier in Python 2:

>>> import random                      # Python 2 compatible
>>> sr = random.SystemRandom()
>>> foo = list('abcde')
>>> foo
['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']

And now:

>>> sr.choice(foo)
'd'
>>> sr.choice(foo)
'e'
>>> sr.choice(foo)
'a'
>>> sr.choice(foo)
'b'
>>> sr.choice(foo)
'a'
>>> sr.choice(foo)
'c'
>>> sr.choice(foo)
'c'

If you want a deterministic pseudorandom selection, use the choice function (which is actually a bound method on a Random object):

>>> random.choice
<bound method Random.choice of <random.Random object at 0x800c1034>>

It seems random, but it's actually not, which we can see if we reseed it repeatedly:

>>> random.seed(42); random.choice(foo), random.choice(foo), random.choice(foo)
('d', 'a', 'b')
>>> random.seed(42); random.choice(foo), random.choice(foo), random.choice(foo)
('d', 'a', 'b')
>>> random.seed(42); random.choice(foo), random.choice(foo), random.choice(foo)
('d', 'a', 'b')
>>> random.seed(42); random.choice(foo), random.choice(foo), random.choice(foo)
('d', 'a', 'b')
>>> random.seed(42); random.choice(foo), random.choice(foo), random.choice(foo)
('d', 'a', 'b')

A comment:

This is not about whether random.choice is truly random or not. If you fix the seed, you will get the reproducible results -- and that's what seed is designed for. You can pass a seed to SystemRandom, too. sr = random.SystemRandom(42)

Well, yes you can pass it a "seed" argument, but you'll see that the SystemRandom object simply ignores it:

def seed(self, *args, **kwds):
    "Stub method.  Not used for a system random number generator."
    return None

How can I add a volume to an existing Docker container?

You can commit your existing container (that is create a new image from container’s changes) and then run it with your new mounts.

Example:

$ docker ps  -a
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                 COMMAND                  CREATED              STATUS                          PORTS               NAMES
    5a8f89adeead        ubuntu:14.04          "/bin/bash"              About a minute ago   Exited (0) About a minute ago                       agitated_newton

$ docker commit 5a8f89adeead newimagename

$ docker run -ti -v "$PWD/somedir":/somedir newimagename /bin/bash

If it's all OK, stop your old container, and use this new one.

That´s it :)

Saving response from Requests to file

You can use the response.text to write to a file:

import requests

files = {'f': ('1.pdf', open('1.pdf', 'rb'))}
response = requests.post("https://pdftables.com/api?&format=xlsx-single",files=files)
response.raise_for_status() # ensure we notice bad responses
file = open("resp_text.txt", "w")
file.write(response.text)
file.close()
file = open("resp_content.txt", "w")
file.write(response.text)
file.close()

Finding the length of a Character Array in C

Although the earlier answers are OK, here's my contribution.

//returns the size of a character array using a pointer to the first element of the character array
int size(char *ptr)
{
    //variable used to access the subsequent array elements.
    int offset = 0;
    //variable that counts the number of elements in your array
    int count = 0;

    //While loop that tests whether the end of the array has been reached
    while (*(ptr + offset) != '\0')
    {
        //increment the count variable
        ++count;
        //advance to the next element of the array
        ++offset;
    }
    //return the size of the array
    return count;
}

In your main function, you call the size function by passing the address of the first element of your array.

For example:

char myArray[] = {'h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o'};
printf("The size of my character array is: %d\n", size(&myArray[0]));

How to install Python packages from the tar.gz file without using pip install

If you don't wanted to use PIP install atall, then you could do the following:

1) Download the package 2) Use 7 zip for unzipping tar files. ( Use 7 zip again until you see a folder by the name of the package you are looking for. Ex: wordcloud)

3) Locate Python library folder where python is installed and paste the 'WordCloud' folder itself there

4) Success !! Now you can import the library and start using the package.

Copy to Clipboard for all Browsers using javascript

I spent a lot of time looking for a solution to this problem too. Here's what i've found thus far:

If you want your users to be able to click on a button and copy some text, you may have to use Flash.

If you want your users to press Ctrl+C anywhere on the page, but always copy xyz to the clipboard, I wrote an all-JS solution in YUI3 (although it could easily be ported to other frameworks, or raw JS if you're feeling particularly self-loathing).

It involves creating a textbox off the screen which gets highlighted as soon as the user hits Ctrl/CMD. When they hit 'C' shortly after, they copy the hidden text. If they hit 'V', they get redirected to a container (of your choice) before the paste event fires.

This method can work well, because while you listen for the Ctrl/CMD keydown anywhere in the body, the 'A', 'C' or 'V' keydown listeners only attach to the hidden text box (and not the whole body). It also doesn't have to break the users expectations - you only get redirected to the hidden box if you had nothing selected to copy anyway!

Here's what i've got working on my site, but check http://at.cg/js/clipboard.js for updates if there are any:

YUI.add('clipboard', function(Y) {


// Change this to the id of the text area you would like to always paste in to:

pasteBox = Y.one('#pasteDIV');


// Make a hidden textbox somewhere off the page.

Y.one('body').append('<input id="copyBox" type="text" name="result" style="position:fixed; top:-20%;" onkeyup="pasteBox.focus()">');
copyBox = Y.one('#copyBox');


// Key bindings for Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, etc:

// Catch Ctrl/Window/Apple keydown anywhere on the page.
Y.on('key', function(e) {
    copyData();
        //  Uncomment below alert and remove keyCodes after 'down:' to figure out keyCodes for other buttons.
        //  alert(e.keyCode);
        //  }, 'body',  'down:', Y);
}, 'body',  'down:91,224,17', Y);

// Catch V - BUT ONLY WHEN PRESSED IN THE copyBox!!!
Y.on('key', function(e) {
    // Oh no! The user wants to paste, but their about to paste into the hidden #copyBox!!
    // Luckily, pastes happen on keyPress (which is why if you hold down the V you get lots of pastes), and we caught the V on keyDown (before keyPress).
    // Thus, if we're quick, we can redirect the user to the right box and they can unload their paste into the appropriate container. phew.
    pasteBox.select();
}, '#copyBox',  'down:86', Y);

// Catch A - BUT ONLY WHEN PRESSED IN THE copyBox!!!
Y.on('key', function(e) {
    // User wants to select all - but he/she is in the hidden #copyBox! That wont do.. select the pasteBox instead (which is probably where they wanted to be).
    pasteBox.select();
}, '#copyBox',  'down:65', Y);



// What to do when keybindings are fired:

// User has pressed Ctrl/Meta, and is probably about to press A,C or V. If they've got nothing selected, or have selected what you want them to copy, redirect to the hidden copyBox!
function copyData() {
    var txt = '';
    // props to Sabarinathan Arthanari for sharing with the world how to get the selected text on a page, cheers mate!
        if (window.getSelection) { txt = window.getSelection(); }
        else if (document.getSelection) { txt = document.getSelection(); }
        else if (document.selection) { txt = document.selection.createRange().text; }
        else alert('Something went wrong and I have no idea why - please contact me with your browser type (Firefox, Safari, etc) and what you tried to copy and I will fix this immediately!');

    // If the user has nothing selected after pressing Ctrl/Meta, they might want to copy what you want them to copy. 
        if(txt=='') {
                copyBox.select();
        }
    // They also might have manually selected what you wanted them to copy! How unnecessary! Maybe now is the time to tell them how silly they are..?!
        else if (txt == copyBox.get('value')) {
        alert('This site uses advanced copy/paste technology, possibly from the future.\n \nYou do not need to select things manually - just press Ctrl+C! \n \n(Ctrl+V will always paste to the main box too.)');
                copyBox.select();
        } else {
                // They also might have selected something completely different! If so, let them. It's only fair.
        }
}
});

Hope someone else finds this useful :]

How to take MySQL database backup using MySQL Workbench?

I am using MySQL Workbench 8.0:

Select multiple columns from a table, but group by one

In my opinion this is a serious language flaw that puts SQL light years behind other languages. This is my incredibly hacky workaround. It is a total kludge but it always works.

Before I do I want to draw attention to @Peter Mortensen's answer, which in my opinion is the correct answer. The only reason I do the below instead is because most implementations of SQL have incredibly slow join operations and force you to break "don't repeat yourself". I need my queries to populate fast.

Also this is an old way of doing things. STRING_AGG and STRING_SPLIT are a lot cleaner. Again I do it this way because it always works.

-- remember Substring is 1 indexed, not 0 indexed
SELECT ProductId
  , SUBSTRING (
      MAX(enc.pnameANDoq), 1, CHARINDEX(';', MAX(enc.pnameANDoq)) - 1
    ) AS ProductName
  , SUM ( CAST ( SUBSTRING (
      MAX(enc.pnameAndoq), CHARINDEX(';', MAX(enc.pnameANDoq)) + 1, 9999
    ) AS INT ) ) AS OrderQuantity
FROM (
    SELECT CONCAT (ProductName, ';', CAST(OrderQuantity AS VARCHAR(10)))
      AS pnameANDoq, ProductID
    FROM OrderDetails
  ) enc
GROUP BY ProductId

Or in plain language :

Glue everything except one field together into a string with a delimeter you know won't be used
Use substring to extract the data after it's grouped

Performance wise I have always had superior performance using strings over things like, say, bigints. At least with microsoft and oracle substring is a fast operation.

This avoids the problems you run into when you use MAX() where when you use MAX() on multiple fields they no longer agree and come from different rows. In this case your data is guaranteed to be glued together exactly the way you asked it to be.

To access a 3rd or 4th field, you'll need nested substrings, "after the first semicolon look for a 2nd". This is why STRING_SPLIT is better if it is available.

Note : While outside the scope of your question this is especially useful when you are in the opposite situation and you're grouping on a combined key, but don't want every possible permutation displayed, that is you want to expose 'foo' and 'bar' as a combined key but want to group by 'foo'

What is causing the error `string.split is not a function`?

run this

// you'll see that it prints Object
console.log(typeof document.location);

you want document.location.toString() or document.location.href

What is the worst programming language you ever worked with?

Lingo, for Shockwave Flash (or whatever it was). Quite horrible, basic-ish thing with a bit too dynamic type system. The editor sucked, the debugger sucked. Arghh!

It probably didn't help that the app I had to take upon my shoulders was written by scriptkiddies, which used the type of a variable to steer control flow. (If it's a string, we're in mode A, so it means X, if it's an int, we're in mode B, so it means Y). $£€£@£$#"¤#" !!

I like Python, and I suppose something equally horrible could've been made there, but the community and tools are much nicer and rigorous.

Returning an empty array

There is no difference except the fact that foo performs 3 visible method calls to return empty array that is anyway created while bar() just creates this array and returns it.

jQuery select2 get value of select tag?

See this fiddle.
Basically, you want to get the values of your option-tags, but you always try to get the value of your select-node with $("#first").val().

So we have to select the option-tags and we will utilize jQuerys selectors:

$("#first option").each(function() {
    console.log($(this).val());
});

$("#first option") selects every option which is a child of the element with the id first.

Parsing string as JSON with single quotes?

  fwrite($logfile, "\r\n". $data);
  fclose($logfile);
}

I always use it like this, and it works...

Kill a postgresql session/connection

There is no need to drop it. Just delete and recreate the public schema. In most cases this have exactly the same effect.

How do I pass multiple parameters in Objective-C?

Objective-C doesn't have named parameters, so everything on the left side of a colon is part of the method name. For example,

getBusStops: forTime:

is the name of the method. The name is broken up so it can be more descriptive. You could simply name your method

getBusStops: :

but that doesn't tell you much about the second parameter.

As mentioned in the Microsoft Tables Documentation:

INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES returns one row for each table in the current database for which the current user has permissions.

The following query, therefore, will return the number of tables in the specified database:

USE MyDatabase
SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES
WHERE TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE'

As of SQL Server 2008, you can also use sys.tables to count the the number of tables.

From the Microsoft sys.tables Documentation:

sys.tables returns a row for each user table in SQL Server.

The following query will also return the number of table in your database:

SELECT COUNT(*)
FROM sys.tables

How to view query error in PDO PHP

You need to set the error mode attribute PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE to PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION.
And since you expect the exception to be thrown by the prepare() method you should disable the PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES* feature. Otherwise the MySQL server doesn't "see" the statement until it's executed.

<?php
try {
    $pdo = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=test;charset=utf8', 'localonly', 'localonly');
    $pdo->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION);
    $pdo->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES, false);


    $pdo->prepare('INSERT INTO DoesNotExist (x) VALUES (?)');
}
catch(Exception $e) {
    echo 'Exception -> ';
    var_dump($e->getMessage());
}

prints (in my case)

Exception -> string(91) "SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 
1146 Table 'test.doesnotexist' doesn't exist"

see http://wezfurlong.org/blog/2006/apr/using-pdo-mysql/
EMULATE_PREPARES=true seems to be the default setting for the pdo_mysql driver right now. The query cache thing has been fixed/change since then and with the mysqlnd driver I hadn't problems with EMULATE_PREPARES=false (though I'm only a php hobbyist, don't take my word on it...)

*) and then there's PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_DIRECT_QUERY - I must admit that I don't understand the interaction of those two attributes (yet?), so I set them both, like

$pdo = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=test;charset=utf8', 'localonly', 'localonly', array(
    PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES=>false,
    PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_DIRECT_QUERY=>false,
    PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE=>PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION
));

How to prevent a double-click using jQuery?

The solution provided by @Kichrum almost worked for me. I did have to add e.stopImmediatePropagation() also to prevent the default action. Here is my code:

$('a, button').on('click', function (e) {
    var $link = $(e.target);
    if (!$link.data('lockedAt')) {
        $link.data('lockedAt', +new Date());
    } else if (+new Date() - $link.data('lockedAt') > 500) {
        $link.data('lockedAt', +new Date());
    } else {
        e.preventDefault();
        e.stopPropagation();
        e.stopImmediatePropagation();
    }
});
