Programs & Examples On #Mercury

Mercury is a purely declarative logical/functional language. It features a strong, static, polymorphic type system, as well as a strong mode and determinism systems. The type system is similar to that of Haskell, while the syntax is derived from Prolog's.

Regex replace uppercase with lowercase letters

Regular expression

Find:\w+

Replace:\L$0

Sublime Text uses the Perl Compatible Regular Expressions (PCRE) engine from the Boost library to power regular expressions in search panels.

\L Converts everything up to lowercase

$0 Capture groups

Check if a value is in an array (C#)

Not very clear what your issue is, but it sounds like you want something like this:

    List<string> printer = new List<string>( new [] { "jupiter", "neptune", "pangea", "mercury", "sonic" } );

    if( printer.Exists( p => p.Equals( "jupiter" ) ) )
    {
        ...
    }

What's the advantage of a Java enum versus a class with public static final fields?

An enum is implictly final, with a private constructors, all its values are of the same type or a sub-type, you can obtain all its values using values(), gets its name() or ordinal() value or you can look up an enum by number or name.

You can also define subclasses (even though notionally final, something you can't do any other way)

enum Runner implements Runnable {
    HI {
       public void run() {
           System.out.println("Hello");
       }
    }, BYE {
       public void run() {
           System.out.println("Sayonara");
       }
       public String toString() {
           return "good-bye";
       }
    }
 }

 class MYRunner extends Runner // won't compile.

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

In my case I just wanted a line break after each dd element.

Eg, I wanted to style this:

<dl class="p">
  <dt>Created</dt> <dd><time>2021-02-03T14:23:43.073Z</time></dd>
  <dt>Updated</dt> <dd><time>2021-02-03T14:44:15.929Z</time></dd>
</p>

like the default style of this:

<p>
  <span>Created</span> <time>2021-02-03T14:23:43.073Z</time><br>
  <span>Updated</span> <time>2021-02-03T14:44:15.929Z</time>
</p>

which just looks like this:

Created 2021-02-03T14:23:43.073Z
Updated 2021-02-03T14:44:15.929Z

To do that I used this CSS:

dl.p > dt {
  display: inline;
}

dl.p > dd {
  display: inline;
  margin: 0;
}

dl.p > dd::after {
  content: "\A";
  white-space: pre;
}

Or you could use this CSS:

dl.p > dt {
  float: left;
  margin-inline-end: 0.26em;
}

dl.p > dd {
  margin: 0;
}

I also added a colon after each dt element with this CSS:

dl.p > dt::after {
  content: ":";
}

How can I see CakePHP's SQL dump in the controller?

If you're using CakePHP 1.3, you can put this in your views to output the SQL:

<?php echo $this->element('sql_dump'); ?>

So you could create a view called 'sql', containing only the line above, and then call this in your controller whenever you want to see it:

$this->render('sql');

(Also remember to set your debug level to at least 2 in app/config/core.php)

How to draw a graph in LaTeX?

Aside from the (excellent) suggestion to use TikZ, you could use gastex. I used this before TikZ was available and it did its job too.

How do I pipe or redirect the output of curl -v?

This simple example shows how to capture curl output, and use it in a bash script

test.sh

function main
{
  \curl -vs 'http://google.com'  2>&1
  # note: add -o /tmp/ignore.png if you want to ignore binary output, by saving it to a file. 
}

# capture output of curl to a variable
OUT=$(main)

# search output for something using grep.
echo
echo "$OUT" | grep 302 
echo
echo "$OUT" | grep title 

How to send and retrieve parameters using $state.go toParams and $stateParams?

Not sure if it will work with AngularJS v1.2.0-rc.2 with ui-router v0.2.0. I have tested this solution on AngularJS v1.3.14 with ui-router v0.2.13.

I just realize that is not necessary to pass the parameter in the URL as gwhn recommends.

Just add your parameters with a default value on your state definition. Your state can still have an Url value.

$stateProvider.state('state1', {
    url : '/url',
    templateUrl : "new.html",
    controller : 'TestController',
    params: {new_param: null}
});

and add the param to $state.go()

$state.go('state1',{new_param: "Going places!"});

Redirect output of mongo query to a csv file

I use the following technique. It makes it easy to keep the column names in sync with the content:

var cursor = db.getCollection('Employees.Details').find({})

var header = []
var rows = []

var firstRow = true
cursor.forEach((doc) => 
{
    var cells = []
    
    if (firstRow) header.push("employee_number")
    cells.push(doc.EmpNum.valueOf())

    if (firstRow) header.push("name")
    cells.push(doc.FullName.valueOf())    

    if (firstRow) header.push("dob")
    cells.push(doc.DateOfBirth.valueOf())   
    
    row = cells.join(',')
    rows.push(row)    

    firstRow =  false
})

print(header.join(','))
print(rows.join('\n'))

How to strip all non-alphabetic characters from string in SQL Server?

Believe it or not, in my system this ugly function performs better than G Mastros elegant one.

CREATE FUNCTION dbo.RemoveSpecialChar (@s VARCHAR(256)) 
RETURNS VARCHAR(256) 
WITH SCHEMABINDING
    BEGIN
        IF @s IS NULL
            RETURN NULL
        DECLARE @s2 VARCHAR(256) = '',
                @l INT = LEN(@s),
                @p INT = 1

        WHILE @p <= @l
            BEGIN
                DECLARE @c INT
                SET @c = ASCII(SUBSTRING(@s, @p, 1))
                IF @c BETWEEN 48 AND 57
                   OR  @c BETWEEN 65 AND 90
                   OR  @c BETWEEN 97 AND 122
                    SET @s2 = @s2 + CHAR(@c)
                SET @p = @p + 1
            END

        IF LEN(@s2) = 0
            RETURN NULL

        RETURN @s2

How to generate an entity-relationship (ER) diagram using Oracle SQL Developer

Create a diagram for existing database schema or its subset as follows:

  1. Click File ? Data Modeler ? Import ? Data Dictionary.
  2. Select a DB connection (add one if none).
  3. Click Next.
  4. Check one or more schema names.
  5. Click Next.
  6. Check one or more objects to import.
  7. Click Next.
  8. Click Finish.

The ERD is displayed.

Export the diagram as follows:

  1. Click File ? Data Modeler ? Print Diagram ? To Image File.
  2. Browse to and select the export file location.

These instructions may work for SQL Developer 3.2.09.23 to 4.1.3.20.

Why use Optional.of over Optional.ofNullable?

In addition, If you know your code should not work if object is null, you can throw exception by using Optional.orElseThrow

String nullName = null;

String name = Optional.ofNullable(nullName)
                      .orElseThrow(NullPointerException::new);
                   // .orElseThrow(CustomException::new);

mySQL :: insert into table, data from another table?

for whole row

insert into xyz select * from xyz2 where id="1";

for selected column

insert into xyz(t_id,v_id,f_name) select t_id,v_id,f_name from xyz2 where id="1";

How to get the last element of an array in Ruby?

Use -1 index (negative indices count backward from the end of the array):

a[-1] # => 5
b[-1] # => 6

or Array#last method:

a.last # => 5
b.last # => 6

How to format string to money

you will need to convert it to a decimal first, then format it with money format.

EX:

decimal decimalMoneyValue = 1921.39m;
string formattedMoneyValue = String.Format("{0:C}", decimalMoneyValue);

Google Apps Script to open a URL

This function opens a URL without requiring additional user interaction.

/**
 * Open a URL in a new tab.
 */
function openUrl( url ){
  var html = HtmlService.createHtmlOutput('<html><script>'
  +'window.close = function(){window.setTimeout(function(){google.script.host.close()},9)};'
  +'var a = document.createElement("a"); a.href="'+url+'"; a.target="_blank";'
  +'if(document.createEvent){'
  +'  var event=document.createEvent("MouseEvents");'
  +'  if(navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf("firefox")>-1){window.document.body.append(a)}'                          
  +'  event.initEvent("click",true,true); a.dispatchEvent(event);'
  +'}else{ a.click() }'
  +'close();'
  +'</script>'
  // Offer URL as clickable link in case above code fails.
  +'<body style="word-break:break-word;font-family:sans-serif;">Failed to open automatically. <a href="'+url+'" target="_blank" onclick="window.close()">Click here to proceed</a>.</body>'
  +'<script>google.script.host.setHeight(40);google.script.host.setWidth(410)</script>'
  +'</html>')
  .setWidth( 90 ).setHeight( 1 );
  SpreadsheetApp.getUi().showModalDialog( html, "Opening ..." );
}

This method works by creating a temporary dialog box, so it will not work in contexts where the UI service is not accessible, such as the script editor or a custom G Sheets formula.

Fast and Lean PDF Viewer for iPhone / iPad / iOS - tips and hints?

Since iOS 11, you can use the native framework called PDFKit for displaying and manipulating PDFs.

After importing PDFKit, you should initialize a PDFView with a local or a remote URL and display it in your view.

if let url = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "example", withExtension: "pdf") {
    let pdfView = PDFView(frame: view.frame)
    pdfView.document = PDFDocument(url: url)
    view.addSubview(pdfView)
}

Read more about PDFKit in the Apple Developer documentation.

Select every Nth element in CSS

You need the correct argument for the nth-child pseudo class.

  • The argument should be in the form of an + b to match every ath child starting from b.

  • Both a and b are optional integers and both can be zero or negative.

    • If a is zero then there is no "every ath child" clause.
    • If a is negative then matching is done backwards starting from b.
    • If b is zero or negative then it is possible to write equivalent expression using positive b e.g. 4n+0 is same as 4n+4. Likewise 4n-1 is same as 4n+3.

Examples:

Select every 4th child (4, 8, 12, ...)

Read each line of txt file to new array element

You were on the right track, but there were some problems with the code you posted. First of all, there was no closing bracket for the while loop. Secondly, $line_of_text would be overwritten with every loop iteration, which is fixed by changing the = to a .= in the loop. Third, you're exploding the literal characters '\n' and not an actual newline; in PHP, single quotes will denote literal characters, but double quotes will actually interpret escaped characters and variables.

    <?php
        $file = fopen("members.txt", "r");
        $i = 0;
        while (!feof($file)) {
            $line_of_text .= fgets($file);
        }
        $members = explode("\n", $line_of_text);
        fclose($file);
        print_r($members);
    ?>

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

The other answers suggesting checking out the other branch, then committing to it, only work if the checkout is possible given the local modifications. If not, you're in the most common use case for git stash:

git stash
git checkout other-branch
git stash pop

The first stash hides away your changes (basically making a temporary commit), and the subsequent stash pop re-applies them. This lets Git use its merge capabilities.

If, when you try to pop the stash, you run into merge conflicts... the next steps depend on what those conflicts are. If all the stashed changes indeed belong on that other branch, you're simply going to have to sort through them - it's a consequence of having made your changes on the wrong branch.

On the other hand, if you've really messed up, and your work tree has a mix of changes for the two branches, and the conflicts are just in the ones you want to commit back on the original branch, you can save some work. As usual, there are a lot of ways to do this. Here's one, starting from after you pop and see the conflicts:

# Unstage everything (warning: this leaves files with conflicts in your tree)
git reset

# Add the things you *do* want to commit here
git add -p     # or maybe git add -i
git commit

# The stash still exists; pop only throws it away if it applied cleanly
git checkout original-branch
git stash pop

# Add the changes meant for this branch
git add -p
git commit

# And throw away the rest
git reset --hard

Alternatively, if you realize ahead of the time that this is going to happen, simply commit the things that belong on the current branch. You can always come back and amend that commit:

git add -p
git commit
git stash
git checkout other-branch
git stash pop

And of course, remember that this all took a bit of work, and avoid it next time, perhaps by putting your current branch name in your prompt by adding $(__git_ps1) to your PS1 environment variable in your bashrc file. (See for example the Git in Bash documentation.)

how can I copy a conditional formatting in Excel 2010 to other cells, which is based on a other cells content?

You can do this in the 'Conditional Formatting' tool in the Home tab of Excel 2010.

Assuming the existing rule is 'Use a formula to dtermine which cells to format':

Edit the existing rule, so that the 'Formula' refers to relative rows and columns (i.e. remove $s), and then in the 'Applies to' box, click the icon to make the sheet current and select the cells you want the formatting to apply to (absolute cell references are ok here), then go back to the tool panel and click Apply.

This will work assuming the relative offsets are appropriate throughout your desired apply-to range.

You can copy conditional formatting from one cell to another or a range using copy and paste-special with formatting only, assuming you do not mind copying the normal formats.

Android: remove notification from notification bar

You can also call cancelAll on the notification manager, so you don't even have to worry about the notification ids.

NotificationManager notifManager= (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notifManager.cancelAll();

EDIT : I was downvoted so maybe I should specify that this will only remove the notification from your application.

Format timedelta to string

I wanted to do this so wrote a simple function. It works great for me and is quite versatile (supports years to microseconds, and any granularity level, e.g. you can pick between '2 days, 4 hours, 48 minutes' and '2 days, 4 hours' and '2 days, 4.8 hours', etc.

def pretty_print_timedelta(t, max_components=None, max_decimal_places=2):
''' 
Print a pretty string for a timedelta. 
For example datetime.timedelta(days=2, seconds=17280) will be printed as '2 days, 4 hours, 48 minutes'. Setting max_components to e.g. 1 will change this to '2.2 days', where the 
number of decimal points can also be set. 
'''
time_scales = [timedelta(days=365), timedelta(days=1), timedelta(hours=1), timedelta(minutes=1), timedelta(seconds=1), timedelta(microseconds=1000), timedelta(microseconds=1)]
time_scale_names_dict = {timedelta(days=365): 'year',  
                         timedelta(days=1): 'day', 
                         timedelta(hours=1): 'hour', 
                         timedelta(minutes=1): 'minute', 
                         timedelta(seconds=1): 'second',

Get IFrame's document, from JavaScript in main document

The problem is that in IE (which is what I presume you're testing in), the <iframe> element has a document property that refers to the document containing the iframe, and this is getting used before the contentDocument or contentWindow.document properties. What you need is:

function GetDoc(x) {
    return x.contentDocument || x.contentWindow.document;
}

Also, document.all is not available in all browsers and is non-standard. Use document.getElementById() instead.

How to Create a script via batch file that will uninstall a program if it was installed on windows 7 64-bit or 32-bit

wmic can call an uninstaller. I haven't tried this, but I think it might work.

wmic /node:computername /user:adminuser /password:password product where name="name of application" call uninstall

If you don't know exactly what the program calls itself, do

wmic product get name | sort

and look for it. You can also uninstall using SQL-ish wildcards.

wmic /node:computername /user:adminuser /password:password product where "name like '%j2se%'" call uninstall

... for example would perform a case-insensitive search for *j2se* and uninstall "J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 12". (Note that in the example above, %j2se% is not an environment variable, but simply the word "j2se" with a SQL-ish wildcard on each end. If your search string could conflict with an environment or script variable, use double percents to specify literal percent signs, like %%j2se%%.)

If wmic prompts for y/n confirmation before completing the uninstall, try this:

echo y | wmic /node:computername /user:adminuser /password:password product where name="whatever" call uninstall

... to pass a y to it before it even asks.

I haven't tested this, but it's worth a shot anyway. If it works on one computer, then you can just loop through a text file containing all the computer names within your organization using a for loop, or put it in a domain policy logon script.

How to clear/remove observable bindings in Knockout.js?

Have you tried calling knockout's clean node method on your DOM element to dispose of the in memory bound objects?

var element = $('#elementId')[0]; 
ko.cleanNode(element);

Then applying the knockout bindings again on just that element with your new view models would update your view binding.

href="tel:" and mobile numbers

When dialing a number within the country you are in, you still need to dial the national trunk number before the rest of the number. For example, in Australia one would dial:

   0 - trunk prefix
   2 - Area code for New South Wales
6555 - STD code for a specific telephone exchange
1234 - Telephone Exchange specific extension.

For a mobile phone this becomes

   0 -      trunk prefix
   4 -      Area code for a mobile telephone
1234 5678 - Mobile telephone number

Now, when I want to dial via the international trunk, you need to drop the trunk prefix and replace it with the international dialing prefix

   + -      Short hand for the country trunk number
  61 -      Country code for Australia
   4 -      Area code for a mobile telephone
1234 5678 - Mobile telephone number

This is why you often find that the first digit of a telephone number is dropped when dialling internationally, even when using international prefixing to dial within the same country.

So as per the trunk prefix for Germany drop the 0 and add the +49 for Germany's international calling code (for example) giving:

_x000D_
_x000D_
<a href="tel:+496170961709" class="Blondie">_x000D_
    Call me, call me any, anytime_x000D_
      <b>Call me (call me) I'll arrive</b>_x000D_
        When you're ready we can share the wine!_x000D_
</a>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Python: Making a beep noise

The cross-platform way to do this is to print('\a'). This will send the ASCII Bell character to stdout, and will hopefully generate a beep (a for 'alert'). Note that many modern terminal emulators provide the option to ignore bell characters.

Since you're on Windows, you'll be happy to hear that Windows has its own (brace yourself) Beep API, which allows you to send beeps of arbitrary length and pitch. Note that this is a Windows-only solution, so you should probably prefer print('\a') unless you really care about Hertz and milliseconds.

The Beep API is accessed through the winsound module: http://docs.python.org/library/winsound.html

How can I change my Cygwin home folder after installation?

Cygwin mount now support bind method which lets you mount a directory. Hence you can simply add the following line to /etc/fstab, then restart your shell:

c:/Users /home none bind 0 0

Autocompletion in Vim

I've used neocomplcache for about half a year. It is a plugin that collects a cache of words in all your buffers and then provides them for you to auto-complete with.

There is an array of screenshots on the project page in the previous link. Neocomplcache also has a ton of configuration options, of which there are basic examples on the project page as well.

If you need more depth, you can look at the relevant section in my vimrc - just search for the word neocomplcache.

delete vs delete[] operators in C++

The operators delete and delete [] are used respectively to destroy the objects created with new and new[], returning to the allocated memory left available to the compiler's memory manager.

Objects created with new must necessarily be destroyed with delete, and that the arrays created with new[] should be deleted with delete[].

Using LINQ to concatenate strings

Real example from my code:

return selected.Select(query => query.Name).Aggregate((a, b) => a + ", " + b);

A query is an object that has a Name property which is a string, and I want the names of all the queries on the selected list, separated by commas.

How to get the function name from within that function?

You can't. Functions don't have names according to the standard (though mozilla has such an attribute) - they can only be assigned to variables with names.

Also your comment:

// access fully qualified name (ie "my.namespace.myFunc")

is inside the function my.namespace.myFunc.getFn

What you can do is return the constructor of an object created by new

So you could say

var obj = new my.namespace.myFunc();
console.info(obj.constructor); //my.namespace.myFunc

How to plot data from multiple two column text files with legends in Matplotlib?

Assume your file looks like this and is named test.txt (space delimited):

1 2
3 4
5 6
7 8

Then:

#!/usr/bin/python

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

with open("test.txt") as f:
    data = f.read()

data = data.split('\n')

x = [row.split(' ')[0] for row in data]
y = [row.split(' ')[1] for row in data]

fig = plt.figure()

ax1 = fig.add_subplot(111)

ax1.set_title("Plot title...")    
ax1.set_xlabel('your x label..')
ax1.set_ylabel('your y label...')

ax1.plot(x,y, c='r', label='the data')

leg = ax1.legend()

plt.show()

Example plot:

I find that browsing the gallery of plots on the matplotlib site helpful for figuring out legends and axes labels.

How to find substring inside a string (or how to grep a variable)?

You can also compare with wildcards:

if [[ "$LIST" == *"$SOURCE"* ]]

replace NULL with Blank value or Zero in sql server

Try This

SELECT Title  from #Movies
    SELECT CASE WHEN Title = '' THEN 'No Title' ELSE Title END AS Titile from #Movies

OR

SELECT [Id], [CategoryId], ISNULL(nullif(Title,''),'No data') as Title, [Director], [DateReleased] FROM #Movies

MySQL with Node.js

You can skip the ORM, builders, etc. and simplify your DB/SQL management using sqler and sqler-mdb.

-- create this file at: db/mdb/setup/create.database.sql
CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS sqlermysql
const conf = {
  "univ": {
    "db": {
      "mdb": {
        "host": "localhost",
        "username":"admin",
        "password": "mysqlpassword"
      }
    }
  },
  "db": {
    "dialects": {
      "mdb": "sqler-mdb"
    },
    "connections": [
      {
        "id": "mdb",
        "name": "mdb",
        "dir": "db/mdb",
        "service": "MySQL",
        "dialect": "mdb",
        "pool": {},
        "driverOptions": {
          "connection": {
            "multipleStatements": true
          }
        }
      }
    ]
  }
};

// create/initialize manager
const manager = new Manager(conf);
await manager.init();

// .sql file path is path to db function
const result = await manager.db.mdb.setup.create.database();

console.log('Result:', result);

// after we're done using the manager we should close it
process.on('SIGINT', async function sigintDB() {
  await manager.close();
  console.log('Manager has been closed');
});

Error creating bean with name

I think it comes from this line in your XML file:

<context:component-scan base-package="org.assessme.com.controller." />

Replace it by:

<context:component-scan base-package="org.assessme.com." />

It is because your Autowired service is not scanned by Spring since it is not in the right package.

Multiple -and -or in PowerShell Where-Object statement

You're using curvy-braces when you should be using parentheses.

A where statement is kept inside a scriptblock, which is defined using curvy baces { }. To isolate/wrap you tests, you should use parentheses ().

I would also suggest trying to do the filtering on the remote computer. Try:

Invoke-Command -computername SERVERNAME {
    Get-ChildItem -path E:\dfsroots\datastore2\public |
    Where-Object { ($_.extension -eq "xls" -or $_.extension -eq "xlk") -and $_.creationtime -ge "06/01/2014" }
}

How to know if a Fragment is Visible?

If you want to know when use is looking at the fragment you should use

yourFragment.isResumed()

instead of

yourFragment.isVisible()

First of all isVisible() already checks for isAdded() so no need for calling both. Second, non-of these two means that user is actually seeing your fragment. Only isResumed() makes sure that your fragment is in front of the user and user can interact with it if thats whats you are looking for.

Nested objects in javascript, best practices

How to get the size of a range in Excel

The Range object has both width and height properties, which are measured in points.

Is there a way to reduce the size of the git folder?

yes yes, git gc is the solution, naturally,

and locally - you can just delete the local repository and clone it again,

but there is something more important here...

the seconds you wait for that huge git & externals to process are collected to long minutes in which are collected to hours of inefficient time spent,

Create a new (entirely, not just a branch) repository from scratch, including the only recent version of files, naturally you'll loose all the history,

but when in code-world it is not time to get sentimental, there is no point dragging along the entire 5 years of code every commit or diff, you can still store the old git & externals somewhere, if you get nostalgic :]

but, at some point you really have to move along :]

your team will thank you!

How can I check if a string contains ANY letters from the alphabet?

I tested each of the above methods for finding if any alphabets are contained in a given string and found out average processing time per string on a standard computer.

~250 ns for

import re

~3 µs for

re.search('[a-zA-Z]', string)

~6 µs for

any(c.isalpha() for c in string)

~850 ns for

string.upper().isupper()


Opposite to as alleged, importing re takes negligible time, and searching with re takes just about half time as compared to iterating isalpha() even for a relatively small string.
Hence for larger strings and greater counts, re would be significantly more efficient.

But converting string to a case and checking case (i.e. any of upper().isupper() or lower().islower() ) wins here. In every loop it is significantly faster than re.search() and it doesn't even require any additional imports.

How to redirect a page using onclick event in php?

you are using onclick which is javascript event. there is two ways

Javascript

<input type="button" value="Home" class="homebutton" id="btnHome" 
onClick="window.location = 'http://google.com'" />

Or PHP

create another page as redirect.php and put

<?php header('location : google.com') ?>

and insert this link on any page within the same directory

<a href="redirect.php">google<a/>

hope this helps its simplest!!

How to read AppSettings values from a .json file in ASP.NET Core

You can try below code. This is working for me.

public class Settings
{
    private static IHttpContextAccessor _HttpContextAccessor;

    public Settings(IHttpContextAccessor httpContextAccessor)
    {
        _HttpContextAccessor = httpContextAccessor;
    }

    public static void Configure(IHttpContextAccessor httpContextAccessor)
    {
        _HttpContextAccessor = httpContextAccessor;
    }

    public static IConfigurationBuilder Getbuilder()
    {
        var builder = new ConfigurationBuilder()
          .SetBasePath(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory())
          .AddJsonFile("appsettings.json");
        return builder;
    }

    public static string GetAppSetting(string key)
    {
        //return Convert.ToString(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[key]);
        var builder = Getbuilder();
        var GetAppStringData = builder.Build().GetValue<string>("AppSettings:" + key);
        return GetAppStringData;
    }

    public static string GetConnectionString(string key="DefaultName")
    {
        var builder = Getbuilder();
        var ConnectionString = builder.Build().GetValue<string>("ConnectionStrings:"+key);
        return ConnectionString;
    }
}

Here I have created one class to get connection string and app settings.

I Startup.cs file you need to register class as below.

public class Startup
{

    public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env)
    {
        var httpContextAccessor = app.ApplicationServices.GetRequiredService<IHttpContextAccessor>();
        Settings.Configure(httpContextAccessor);
    }
}

Equals(=) vs. LIKE

Depends on the database system.

Generally with no special characters, yes, = and LIKE are the same.

Some database systems, however, may treat collation settings differently with the different operators.

For instance, in MySQL comparisons with = on strings is always case-insensitive by default, so LIKE without special characters is the same. On some other RDBMS's LIKE is case-insensitive while = is not.

Java way to check if a string is palindrome

 public boolean isPalindrom(String text) {
    StringBuffer stringBuffer = new StringBuffer(text);
     return stringBuffer.reverse().toString().equals(text);
}

How do I reference a cell within excel named range?

There are a couple different ways I would do this:

1) Mimic Excel Tables Using with a Named Range

In your example, you named the range A10:A20 "Age". Depending on how you wanted to reference a cell in that range you could either (as @Alex P wrote) use =INDEX(Age, 5) or if you want to reference a cell in range "Age" that is on the same row as your formula, just use:

=INDEX(Age, ROW()-ROW(Age)+1)

This mimics the relative reference features built into Excel tables but is an alternative if you don't want to use a table.

If the named range is an entire column, the formula simplifies as:

=INDEX(Age, ROW())

2) Use an Excel Table

Alternatively if you set this up as an Excel table and type "Age" as the header title of the Age column, then your formula in columns to the right of the Age column can use a formula like this:

=[@[Age]]

Meaning of "[: too many arguments" error from if [] (square brackets)

I have had same problem with my scripts. But when I did some modifications it worked for me. I did like this :-

export k=$(date "+%k");
if [ $k -ge 16 ] 
    then exit 0; 
else 
    echo "good job for nothing"; 
fi;

that way I resolved my problem. Hope that will help for you too.

How to create a pulse effect using -webkit-animation - outward rings

How to correctly catch change/focusOut event on text input in React.js?

If you want to only trigger validation when the input looses focus you can use onBlur

Trivia: React <17 listens to blur event and >=17 listens to focusout event.

automatically execute an Excel macro on a cell change

Your code looks pretty good.

Be careful, however, for your call to Range("H5") is a shortcut command to Application.Range("H5"), which is equivalent to Application.ActiveSheet.Range("H5"). This could be fine, if the only changes are user-changes -- which is the most typical -- but it is possible for the worksheet's cell values to change when it is not the active sheet via programmatic changes, e.g. VBA.

With this in mind, I would utilize Target.Worksheet.Range("H5"):

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    If Not Intersect(Target, Target.Worksheet.Range("H5")) Is Nothing Then Macro
End Sub

Or you can use Me.Range("H5"), if the event handler is on the code page for the worksheet in question (it usually is):

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    If Not Intersect(Target, Me.Range("H5")) Is Nothing Then Macro
End Sub

Hope this helps...

Checking if a folder exists (and creating folders) in Qt, C++

If you need an empty folder you can loop until you get an empty folder

    QString folder= QString ("%1").arg(QDateTime::currentMSecsSinceEpoch());
    while(QDir(folder).exists())
    {
         folder= QString ("%1").arg(QDateTime::currentMSecsSinceEpoch());
    }
    QDir().mkdir(folder);

This case you will get a folder name with a number .

What are the most common font-sizes for H1-H6 tags

It would depend on the browser's default stylesheet. You can view an (unofficial) table of CSS2.1 User Agent stylesheet defaults here.

Based on the page listed above, the default sizes look something like this:

    IE7     IE8     FF2         FF3         Opera   Safari 3.1
H1  24pt    2em     32px        32px        32px    32px       
H2  18pt    1.5em   24px        24px        24px    24px
H3  13.55pt 1.17em  18.7333px   18.7167px   18px    19px
H4  n/a     n/a     n/a         n/a         n/a     n/a
H5  10pt    0.83em  13.2667px   13.2833px   13px    13px
H6  7.55pt  0.67em  10.7333px   10.7167px   10px    11px

Also worth taking a look at is the default stylesheet for HTML 4. The W3C recommends using these styles as the default. An abridged excerpt:

h1 { font-size: 2em; }
h2 { font-size: 1.5em; }
h3 { font-size: 1.17em; }
h4 { font-size: 1.12em; }
h5 { font-size: .83em; }
h6 { font-size: .75em; }

Hope this information is helpful.

Default Values to Stored Procedure in Oracle

Default values are only used if the arguments are not specified. In your case you did specify the arguments - both were supplied, with a value of NULL. (Yes, in this case NULL is considered a real value :-). Try:

EXEC TEST()

Share and enjoy.

Addendum: The default values for procedure parameters are certainly buried in a system table somewhere (see the SYS.ALL_ARGUMENTS view), but getting the default value out of the view involves extracting text from a LONG field, and is probably going to prove to be more painful than it's worth. The easy way is to add some code to the procedure:

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE TEST(X IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT 'P',
                                 Y IN NUMBER DEFAULT 1)
AS
  varX VARCHAR2(32767) := NVL(X, 'P');
  varY NUMBER          := NVL(Y, 1);
BEGIN
  DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('X=' || varX || ' -- ' || 'Y=' || varY);
END TEST;

How to remove all non-alpha numeric characters from a string in MySQL?

The fastest way I was able to find (and using ) is with convert().

from Doc. CONVERT() with USING is used to convert data between different character sets.

Example:

convert(string USING ascii)

In your case the right character set will be self defined

NOTE from Doc. The USING form of CONVERT() is available as of 4.1.0.

Where does Vagrant download its .box files to?

@Luke Peterson: There's a simpler way to get .box file.

Just go to https://atlas.hashicorp.com/boxes/search, search for the box you'd like to download. Notice the URL of the box, e.g:

https://atlas.hashicorp.com/ubuntu/boxes/trusty64/versions/20150530.0.1

Then you can download this box using URL like this:

https://vagrantcloud.com/ubuntu/boxes/trusty64/versions/20150530.0.1/providers/virtualbox.box

I tried and successfully download all the boxes I need. Hope that help.

How to sort Map values by key in Java?

Just in case you don't wanna use a TreeMap

public static Map<Integer, Integer> sortByKey(Map<Integer, Integer> map) {
        List<Map.Entry<Integer, Integer>> list = new ArrayList<>(map.entrySet());
        list.sort(Comparator.comparingInt(Map.Entry::getKey));
        Map<Integer, Integer> sortedMap = new LinkedHashMap<>();
        list.forEach(e -> sortedMap.put(e.getKey(), e.getValue()));
        return sortedMap;
    }

How To Convert A Number To an ASCII Character?

Edit: By request, I added a check to make sure the value entered was within the ASCII range of 0 to 127. Whether you want to limit this is up to you. In C# (and I believe .NET in general), chars are represented using UTF-16, so any valid UTF-16 character value could be cast into it. However, it is possible a system does not know what every Unicode character should look like so it may show up incorrectly.

// Read a line of input
string input = Console.ReadLine();

int value;
// Try to parse the input into an Int32
if (Int32.TryParse(input, out value)) {
    // Parse was successful
    if (value >= 0 and value < 128) {
        //value entered was within the valid ASCII range
        //cast value to a char and print it
        char c = (char)value;
        Console.WriteLine(c);
    }
}

Clear all fields in a form upon going back with browser back button

Modern browsers implement something known as back-forward cache (BFCache). When you hit back/forward button the actual page is not reloaded (and the scripts are never re-run).

If you have to do something in case of user hitting back/forward keys - listen for BFCache pageshow and pagehide events:

window.addEventListener("pageshow", () => {
  // update hidden input field
});

See more details for Gecko and WebKit implementations.

How to preserve insertion order in HashMap?

LinkedHashMap is precisely what you're looking for.

It is exactly like HashMap, except that when you iterate over it, it presents the items in the insertion order.

How can I delete derived data in Xcode 8?

Manual removal of derived data

If you want to remove derived data manually just run:

rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData

If you want to free up more disk space there's a few other directories you might want to clear out as well though.

Automatic removal of Xcode generated files

I have created a Bash script for removing all kinds of files generated by Xcode. Removing DerivedData content can be done by running:

./xcode-clean.sh -d

Permission denied on accessing host directory in Docker

I had a similar issue, mine was caused by a mismatch between the UID of the host and the UID of the container's user. The fix was to pass the UID of the user as an argument to the docker build and create the container's user with the same UID.

In the DockerFile:

ARG UID=1000
ENV USER="ubuntu"
RUN useradd -u $UID -ms /bin/bash $USER

In the build step:

docker build <path/to/Dockerfile> -t <tag/name> --build-arg UID=$UID

After that, running the container and commands as per the OP gave me the expected result.

How to use tick / checkmark symbol (?) instead of bullets in unordered list?

As an addition to the solution:

  <li>this is my text</li>_x000D_
  <li>this is my text</li>_x000D_
  <li>This is my text, it's pretty long so it needs to wrap. Note that wrapping preserves the indentation that bullets had!</li>_x000D_

  <li>this is my text</li>_x000D_
</ul>
_x000D_

Note: To solve the wrapping problem that other answers had:

  • we reserve 1.5m ems of space at the left of each <li>
  • then position the SVG at the start of that space (position: absolute; left: 0)

Count cells that contain any text

If you have cells with something like ="" and don't want to count them, you have to subtract number of empty cells from total number of cell by formula like

=row(G101)-row(G4)+1-countblank(G4:G101)

In case of 2-dimensional array it would be

=(row(G101)-row(A4)+1)*(column(G101)-column(A4)+1)-countblank(A4:G101)

Log to the base 2 in python

Don't forget that log[base A] x = log[base B] x / log[base B] A.

So if you only have log (for natural log) and log10 (for base-10 log), you can use

myLog2Answer = log10(myInput) / log10(2)

What does asterisk * mean in Python?

See Function Definitions in the Language Reference.

If the form *identifier is present, it is initialized to a tuple receiving any excess positional parameters, defaulting to the empty tuple. If the form **identifier is present, it is initialized to a new dictionary receiving any excess keyword arguments, defaulting to a new empty dictionary.

Also, see Function Calls.

Assuming that one knows what positional and keyword arguments are, here are some examples:

Example 1:

# Excess keyword argument (python 2) example:
def foo(a, b, c, **args):
    print "a = %s" % (a,)
    print "b = %s" % (b,)
    print "c = %s" % (c,)
    print args

foo(a="testa", d="excess", c="testc", b="testb", k="another_excess")

As you can see in the above example, we only have parameters a, b, c in the signature of the foo function. Since d and k are not present, they are put into the args dictionary. The output of the program is:

a = testa
b = testb
c = testc
{'k': 'another_excess', 'd': 'excess'}

Example 2:

# Excess positional argument (python 2) example:
def foo(a, b, c, *args):
    print "a = %s" % (a,)
    print "b = %s" % (b,)
    print "c = %s" % (c,)
    print args

foo("testa", "testb", "testc", "excess", "another_excess")

Here, since we're testing positional arguments, the excess ones have to be on the end, and *args packs them into a tuple, so the output of this program is:

a = testa
b = testb
c = testc
('excess', 'another_excess')

You can also unpack a dictionary or a tuple into arguments of a function:

def foo(a,b,c,**args):
    print "a=%s" % (a,)
    print "b=%s" % (b,)
    print "c=%s" % (c,)
    print "args=%s" % (args,)

argdict = dict(a="testa", b="testb", c="testc", excessarg="string")
foo(**argdict)

Prints:

a=testa
b=testb
c=testc
args={'excessarg': 'string'}

And

def foo(a,b,c,*args):
    print "a=%s" % (a,)
    print "b=%s" % (b,)
    print "c=%s" % (c,)
    print "args=%s" % (args,)

argtuple = ("testa","testb","testc","excess")
foo(*argtuple)

Prints:

a=testa
b=testb
c=testc
args=('excess',)

Should I use <i> tag for icons instead of <span>?

I take a totally different approach to everyone else's answers here altogether. Let me prefix my solution and argue by stating that sometimes standards and conventions are meant to be broken, especially in the context of the standard HTML lexical tag definitions.

There's nothing to stop you from creating custom elements that are self-descriptive to it's very purpose.

Both modern browsers and even IE 6+ (w/ shim) can support things like:

<icon class="plus">

or

<icon-add>

Just make sure to normalize the tag:

 icon { display:block; margin:0; padding:0; border:0; ... }

and use a shim if you need to support IE9 or earlier (see post below).

Parsing JSON Object in Java

Thank you so much to @Code in another answer. I can read any JSON file thanks to your code. Now, I'm trying to organize all the elements by levels, for could use them!

I was working with Android reading a JSON from an URL and the only I had to change was the lines

Set<Object> set = jsonObject.keySet(); Iterator<Object> iterator = set.iterator();

for

Iterator<?> iterator = jsonObject.keys();

I share my implementation, to help someone:

public void parseJson(JSONObject jsonObject) throws ParseException, JSONException {

    Iterator<?> iterator = jsonObject.keys();
    while (iterator.hasNext()) {
        String obj = iterator.next().toString();

        if (jsonObject.get(obj) instanceof JSONArray) {
            //Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Objeto: JSONArray", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            //System.out.println(obj.toString());
            TextView txtView = new TextView(this);
            txtView.setText(obj.toString());
            layoutIzq.addView(txtView);
            getArray(jsonObject.get(obj));
        } else {
            if (jsonObject.get(obj) instanceof JSONObject) {
                //Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Objeto: JSONObject", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                parseJson((JSONObject) jsonObject.get(obj));
            } else {
                //Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Objeto: Value", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                //System.out.println(obj.toString() + "\t"+ jsonObject.get(obj));
                TextView txtView = new TextView(this);
                txtView.setText(obj.toString() + "\t"+ jsonObject.get(obj));
                layoutIzq.addView(txtView);
            }
        }
    }

Replace CRLF using powershell

The following will be able to process very large files quickly.

while ($line = $file.ReadLine()) {
      $count += 1
      $s = $line -replace "`n", "`r`n"
      $outstream.WriteLine($s)
  }

$file.close()
$outstream.close()

Write-Host ([string] $count + ' lines have been processed.')

Detecting user leaving page with react-router

For react-router 2.4.0+

NOTE: It is advisable to migrate all your code to the latest react-router to get all the new goodies.

As recommended in the react-router documentation:

One should use the withRouter higher order component:

We think this new HoC is nicer and easier, and will be using it in documentation and examples, but it is not a hard requirement to switch.

As an ES6 example from the documentation:

import React from 'react'
import { withRouter } from 'react-router'

const Page = React.createClass({

  componentDidMount() {
    this.props.router.setRouteLeaveHook(this.props.route, () => {
      if (this.state.unsaved)
        return 'You have unsaved information, are you sure you want to leave this page?'
    })
  }

  render() {
    return <div>Stuff</div>
  }

})

export default withRouter(Page)

Best way to check for IE less than 9 in JavaScript without library

Using conditional comments, you can create a script block that will only get executed in IE less than 9.

<!--[if lt IE 9 ]>
<script>
var is_ie_lt9 = true;
</script>
<![endif]--> 

Of course, you could precede this block with a universal block that declares var is_ie_lt9=false, which this would override for IE less than 9. (In that case, you'd want to remove the var declaration, as it would be repetitive).

EDIT: Here's a version that doesn't rely on in-line script blocks (can be run from an external file), but doesn't use user agent sniffing:

Via @cowboy:

with(document.createElement("b")){id=4;while(innerHTML="<!--[if gt IE "+ ++id+"]>1<![endif]-->",innerHTML>0);var ie=id>5?+id:0}

How to go up a level in the src path of a URL in HTML?

Here is all you need to know about relative file paths:

  • Starting with / returns to the root directory and starts there

  • Starting with ../ moves one directory backward and starts there

  • Starting with ../../ moves two directories backward and starts there (and so on...)

  • To move forward, just start with the first sub directory and keep moving forward.

Using Javascript in CSS

I think what you may be thinking of is expressions or "dynamic properties", which are only supported by IE and let you set a property to the result of a javascript expression. Example:

width:expression(document.body.clientWidth > 800? "800px": "auto" );

This code makes IE emulate the max-width property it doesn't support.

All things considered, however, avoid using these. They are a bad, bad thing.

What does the Ellipsis object do?

As mentioned by @no?????z??? and @phoenix - You can indeed use it in stub files. e.g.

More information and examples of how to use this ellipsis can be discovered here https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0484/#stub-files

Setting a WebRequest's body data

The answers in this topic are all great. However i'd like to propose another one. Most likely you have been given an api and want that into your c# project. Using Postman, you can setup and test the api call there and once it runs properly, you can simply click 'Code' and the request that you have been working on, is written to a c# snippet. like this:

var client = new RestClient("https://api.XXXXX.nl/oauth/token");
client.Timeout = -1;
var request = new RestRequest(Method.POST);
request.AddHeader("Authorization", "Basic   N2I1YTM4************************************jI0YzJhNDg=");
request.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
request.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
request.AddParameter("grant_type", "password");
request.AddParameter("username", "[email protected]");
request.AddParameter("password", "XXXXXXXXXXXXX");
IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);
Console.WriteLine(response.Content);

The code above depends on the nuget package RestSharp, which you can easily install.

2D Euclidean vector rotations

Sounds easier to do with the standard classes:

std::complex<double> vecA(0,1);
std::complex<double> i(0,1); // 90 degrees
std::complex<double> r45(sqrt(2.0),sqrt(2.0));
vecA *= i;
vecA *= r45;

Vector rotation is a subset of complex multiplication. To rotate over an angle alpha, you multiply by std::complex<double> { cos(alpha), sin(alpha) }

        using(SqlCommand cmd=new SqlCommand(cmd, con))
        {
            cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@na", Mem_NA);
            cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@occ", Mem_Occ);

            con.Open();
            newID = (int)insertCommand.ExecuteScalar();

            if (con.State == System.Data.ConnectionState.Open) con.Close();
                return newID;
        }
    }
}

Where are the python modules stored?

If you are using conda or pip to install modules you can use

pip list

or

conda list

to display all the modules. This will display all the modules in the terminal itself and is much faster than

>>> help('modules')

Defining custom attrs

Currently the best documentation is the source. You can take a look at it here (attrs.xml).

You can define attributes in the top <resources> element or inside of a <declare-styleable> element. If I'm going to use an attr in more than one place I put it in the root element. Note, all attributes share the same global namespace. That means that even if you create a new attribute inside of a <declare-styleable> element it can be used outside of it and you cannot create another attribute with the same name of a different type.

An <attr> element has two xml attributes name and format. name lets you call it something and this is how you end up referring to it in code, e.g., R.attr.my_attribute. The format attribute can have different values depending on the 'type' of attribute you want.

  • reference - if it references another resource id (e.g, "@color/my_color", "@layout/my_layout")
  • color
  • boolean
  • dimension
  • float
  • integer
  • string
  • fraction
  • enum - normally implicitly defined
  • flag - normally implicitly defined

You can set the format to multiple types by using |, e.g., format="reference|color".

enum attributes can be defined as follows:

<attr name="my_enum_attr">
  <enum name="value1" value="1" />
  <enum name="value2" value="2" />
</attr>

flag attributes are similar except the values need to be defined so they can be bit ored together:

<attr name="my_flag_attr">
  <flag name="fuzzy" value="0x01" />
  <flag name="cold" value="0x02" />
</attr>

In addition to attributes there is the <declare-styleable> element. This allows you to define attributes a custom view can use. You do this by specifying an <attr> element, if it was previously defined you do not specify the format. If you wish to reuse an android attr, for example, android:gravity, then you can do that in the name, as follows.

An example of a custom view <declare-styleable>:

<declare-styleable name="MyCustomView">
  <attr name="my_custom_attribute" />
  <attr name="android:gravity" />
</declare-styleable>

When defining your custom attributes in XML on your custom view you need to do a few things. First you must declare a namespace to find your attributes. You do this on the root layout element. Normally there is only xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android". You must now also add xmlns:whatever="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto".

Example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  xmlns:whatever="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
  android:orientation="vertical"
  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
  android:layout_height="fill_parent">

    <org.example.mypackage.MyCustomView
      android:layout_width="fill_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:gravity="center"
      whatever:my_custom_attribute="Hello, world!" />
</LinearLayout>

Finally, to access that custom attribute you normally do so in the constructor of your custom view as follows.

public MyCustomView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
  super(context, attrs, defStyle);

  TypedArray a = context.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, R.styleable.MyCustomView, defStyle, 0);

  String str = a.getString(R.styleable.MyCustomView_my_custom_attribute);

  //do something with str

  a.recycle();
}

The end. :)

How to make asynchronous HTTP requests in PHP

Symfony HttpClient is asynchronous https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/http_client.html.

For example you can

use Symfony\Component\HttpClient\HttpClient;

$client = HttpClient::create();
$response1 = $client->request('GET', 'https://website1');
$response2 = $client->request('GET', 'https://website1');
$response3 = $client->request('GET', 'https://website1');
//these 3 calls with return immediately
//but the requests will fire to the website1 webserver

$response1->getContent(); //this will block until content is fetched
$response2->getContent(); //same 
$response3->getContent(); //same

CentOS 64 bit bad ELF interpreter

Try

$ yum provides ld-linux.so.2
$ yum update
$ yum install glibc.i686 libfreetype.so.6 libfontconfig.so.1 libstdc++.so.6

Hope this clears out.

Select * from subquery

You can select every column from that sub-query by aliasing it and adding the alias before the *:

SELECT t.*, a+b AS total_sum
FROM
(
   SELECT SUM(column1) AS a, SUM(column2) AS b
   FROM table
) t

seek() function?

The seek function expect's an offset in bytes.

Ascii File Example:

So if you have a text file with the following content:

simple.txt

abc

You can jump 1 byte to skip over the first character as following:

fp = open('simple.txt', 'r')
fp.seek(1)
print fp.readline()
>>> bc

Binary file example gathering width :

fp = open('afile.png', 'rb')
fp.seek(16)
print 'width: {0}'.format(struct.unpack('>i', fp.read(4))[0])
print 'height: ', struct.unpack('>i', fp.read(4))[0]

Note: Once you call read you are changing the position of the read-head, which act's like seek.

Jquery button click() function is not working

The click event is not bound to your new element, use a jQuery.on to handle the click.

How to limit depth for recursive file list?

Make use of find's options

There is actually no exec of /bin/ls needed;

Find has an option that does just that:

find . -maxdepth 2 -type d -ls

To see only the one level of subdirectories you are interested in, add -mindepth to the same level as -maxdepth:

find . -mindepth 2 -maxdepth 2 -type d -ls

Use output formatting

When the details that get shown should be different, -printf can show any detail about a file in custom format; To show the symbolic permissions and the owner name of the file, use -printf with %M and %u in the format.

I noticed later you want the full ownership information, which includes the group. Use %g in the format for the symbolic name, or %G for the group id (like also %U for numeric user id)

find . -mindepth 2 -maxdepth 2 -type d -printf '%M %u %g %p\n'

This should give you just the details you need, for just the right files.

I will give an example that shows actually different values for user and group:

$ sudo find /tmp -mindepth 2 -maxdepth 2 -type d -printf '%M %u %g %p\n'
drwx------ www-data  www-data /tmp/user/33
drwx------ octopussy root     /tmp/user/126
drwx------ root      root     /tmp/user/0
drwx------ siegel    root     /tmp/user/1000
drwxrwxrwt root      root     /tmp/systemd-[...].service-HRUQmm/tmp

(Edited for readability: indented, shortened last line)


Notes on performance

Although the execution time is mostly irrelevant for this kind of command, increase in performance is large enough here to make it worth pointing it out:

Not only do we save creating a new process for each name - a huge task - the information does not even need to be read, as find already knows it.

How to solve "Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration" for Spring Data Maven Builds

  1. Go to Help > Install New Software...
  2. Use this software repository

    Make sure "Contact all update sites during install to find required software" is checked.

  3. Install the AJDT m2e Configurator

Source: Upgrading Maven integration for SpringSource Tool Suite 2.8.0 (Andrew Eisenberg)

This should automatically install ADJT if you don't have it installed, but if it doesn't, install AspectJ Development Tools (ADJT) first from "Indigo update site" (according to your Eclipse version).

More info on AspectJ Development Tools site.

How do I copy the contents of one stream to another?

if you want a procdure to copy a stream to other the one that nick posted is fine but it is missing the position reset, it should be

public static void CopyStream(Stream input, Stream output)
{
    byte[] buffer = new byte[32768];
    long TempPos = input.Position;
    while (true)    
    {
        int read = input.Read (buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
        if (read <= 0)
            return;
        output.Write (buffer, 0, read);
    }
    input.Position = TempPos;// or you make Position = 0 to set it at the start
}

but if it is in runtime not using a procedure you shpuld use memory stream

Stream output = new MemoryStream();
byte[] buffer = new byte[32768]; // or you specify the size you want of your buffer
long TempPos = input.Position;
while (true)    
{
    int read = input.Read (buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
    if (read <= 0)
        return;
    output.Write (buffer, 0, read);
 }
    input.Position = TempPos;// or you make Position = 0 to set it at the start

Warning about `$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA` being deprecated

Been awhile until I came across this error. Put up my answer for anyone who may stumble upon this issue.

The error only means that you are sending an empty POST request. This error is commonly found on HTTPRequests with no parameters passed. To avoid this error, you can always add a parameter to the POST without changing the php.ini.

Like:

$.post(URL_HERE
    ,{addedvar : 'anycontent'}
    ,function(d){
       doAnyHere(d);
    }
    ,'json' //or 'html','text'
);

Java Byte Array to String to Byte Array

What I did:

return to clients:

byte[] result = ****encrypted data****;

String str = Base64.encodeBase64String(result);

return str;

receive from clients:

 byte[] bytes = Base64.decodeBase64(str);

your data will be transferred in this format:

MySQL create stored procedure syntax with delimiter

Here is the sample MYSQL Stored Procedure with delimiter and how to call..

DELIMITER $$

DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS `sp_user_login` $$
CREATE DEFINER=`root`@`%` PROCEDURE `sp_user_login`(
  IN loc_username VARCHAR(255),
  IN loc_password VARCHAR(255)
)
BEGIN

  SELECT user_id,
         user_name,
         user_emailid,
         user_profileimage,
         last_update
    FROM tbl_user
   WHERE user_name = loc_username
     AND password = loc_password
     AND status = 1;

END $$

DELIMITER ;

and call by, mysql_connection specification and

$loginCheck="call sp_user_login('".$username."','".$password."');";

it will return the result from the procedure.

How to move up a directory with Terminal in OS X

cd .. will back the directory up by one. If you want to reach a folder in the parent directory, you can do something like cd ../foldername. You can use the ".." trick as many times as you want to back up through multiple parent directories. For example, cd ../../Applications would take you to Macintosh HD/Applications

How to add a column in TSQL after a specific column?

This is absolutely possible. Although you shouldn't do it unless you know what you are dealing with. Took me about 2 days to figure it out. Here is a stored procedure where i enter: ---database name (schema name is "_" for readability) ---table name ---column ---column data type (column added is always null, otherwise you won't be able to insert) ---the position of the new column.

Since I'm working with tables from SAM toolkit (and some of them have > 80 columns) , the typical variable won't be able to contain the query. That forces the need of external file. Now be careful where you store that file and who has access on NTFS and network level.

Cheers!

How to change angular port from 4200 to any other

Just Run

ng serve --port yourport

Example:

ng serve --port 4401

Why does checking a variable against multiple values with `OR` only check the first value?

The or operator returns the first operand if it is true, otherwise the second operand. So in your case your test is equivalent to if name == "Jesse".

The correct application of or would be:

if (name == "Jesse") or (name == "jesse"):

    $json = json_encode($array);
    $phpStringArray = str_replace(array("{", "}", ":"), 
                                  array("array(", "}", "=>"), $json);

When should we use Observer and Observable?

Definition

Observer pattern is used when there is one to many relationship between objects such as if one object is modified, its dependent objects are to be notified automatically and corresponding changes are done to all dependent objects.

Examples

  1. Let's say, your permanent address is changed then you need to notify passport authority and pan card authority. So here passport authority and pan card authority are observers and You are a subject.

  2. On Facebook also, If you subscribe to someone then whenever new updates happen then you will be notified.

When to use it:

  1. When one object changes its state, then all other dependents object must automatically change their state to maintain consistency

  2. When the subject doesn't know about the number of observers it has.

  3. When an object should be able to notify other objects without knowing who objects are.

Step 1

Create Subject class.

Subject.java

  import java.util.ArrayList;
  import java.util.List;

  public class Subject {

  private List<Observer> observers 
        = new ArrayList<Observer>();
  private int state;

  public int getState() {
    return state;
  }

 public void setState(int state) {
   this.state = state;
   notifyAllObservers();
 }

   public void attach(Observer observer){
     observers.add(observer);       
   }

  public void notifyAllObservers(){
    for (Observer observer : observers) {
     observer.update();
  }
}   

}

Step 2

Create Observer class.

Observer.java

public abstract class Observer {
   protected Subject subject;
   public abstract void update();
}

Step 3

Create concrete observer classes

BinaryObserver.java

public class BinaryObserver extends Observer{

  public BinaryObserver(Subject subject){
     this.subject = subject;
     this.subject.attach(this);
  }

  @Override
  public void update() {
     System.out.println( "Binary String: " 
     + Integer.toBinaryString( subject.getState() ) ); 
  }

}

OctalObserver.java

public class OctalObserver extends Observer{

   public OctalObserver(Subject subject){
     this.subject = subject;
    this.subject.attach(this);
 }

  @Override
  public void update() {
    System.out.println( "Octal String: " 
    + Integer.toOctalString( subject.getState() ) ); 
  }

}

HexaObserver.java

public class HexaObserver extends Observer{

  public HexaObserver(Subject subject){
    this.subject = subject;
    this.subject.attach(this);
 }

  @Override
  public void update() {
     System.out.println( "Hex String: " 
    + Integer.toHexString( subject.getState() ).toUpperCase() ); 
}

}

Step 4

Use Subject and concrete observer objects.

ObserverPatternDemo.java

 public class ObserverPatternDemo {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
       Subject subject = new Subject();

       new HexaObserver(subject);
       new OctalObserver(subject);
       new BinaryObserver(subject);

       System.out.println("First state change: 15");    
       subject.setState(15);
       System.out.println("Second state change: 10");   
       subject.setState(10);
 }

}

Step 5

Verify the output.

First state change: 15

Hex String: F

Octal String: 17

Binary String: 1111

Second state change: 10

Hex String: A

Octal String: 12

Binary String: 1010

100% Min Height CSS layout

A pure CSS solution (#content { min-height: 100%; }) will work in a lot of cases, but not in all of them - especially IE6 and IE7.

Unfortunately, you will need to resort to a JavaScript solution in order to get the desired behavior. This can be done by calculating the desired height for your content <div> and setting it as a CSS property in a function:

function resizeContent() {
  var contentDiv = document.getElementById('content');
  var headerDiv = document.getElementById('header');
  // This may need to be done differently on IE than FF, but you get the idea.
  var viewPortHeight = window.innerHeight - headerDiv.clientHeight;
  contentDiv.style.height = 
    Math.max(viewportHeight, contentDiv.clientHeight) + 'px';
}

You can then set this function as a handler for onLoad and onResize events:

<body onload="resizeContent()" onresize="resizeContent()">
  . . .
</body>

Loading local JSON file

I had the same need (to test my angularjs app), and the only way I found is to use require.js:

var json = require('./data.json'); //(with path)

note: the file is loaded once, further calls will use the cache.

Outline effect to text

Easy! SVG to the rescue.

This is a simplified method:

svg{
  font   : bold 70px Century Gothic, Arial;
  width  : 100%;
  height : 120px;
}

text{
  fill            : none;
  stroke          : black;
  stroke-width    : .5px;
  stroke-linejoin : round;
  animation       : 2s pulsate infinite;
}

@keyframes pulsate {
  50%{ stroke-width:5px }
}
_x000D_
<svg viewBox="0 0 450 50">
  <text y="50">Scalable Title</text>
</svg>

_x000D_
_x000D_

Here's a more complex demo.

JavaScript load a page on button click

The answers here work to open the page in the same browser window/tab.

However, I wanted the page to open in a new window/tab when they click a button. (tab/window decision depends on the user's browser setting)

So here is how it worked to open the page in new tab/window:

<button type="button" onclick="window.open('http://www.example.com/', '_blank');">View Example Page</button>

It doesn't have to be a button, you can use anywhere. Notice the _blank that is used to open in new tab/window.

Add a prefix string to beginning of each line

Using the shell:

#!/bin/bash
prefix="something"
file="file"
while read -r line
do
 echo "${prefix}$line"
done <$file > newfile
mv newfile $file

Get Time from Getdate()

You can use the datapart to maintain time date type and you can compare it to another time.
Check below example:

declare @fromtime time = '09:30'
declare @totime time
SET @totime=CONVERT(TIME, CONCAT(DATEPART(HOUR, GETDATE()),':', DATEPART(MINUTE, GETDATE())))
if @fromtime <= @totime 
begin print 'true' end
else begin print 'no' end

MySQL export into outfile : CSV escaping chars

Without actually seeing your output file for confirmation, my guess is that you've got to get rid of the FIELDS ESCAPED BY value.

MySQL's FIELDS ESCAPED BY is probably behaving in two ways that you were not counting on: (1) it is only meant to be one character, so in your case it is probably equal to just one quotation mark; (2) it is used to precede each character that MySQL thinks needs escaping, including the FIELDS TERMINATED BY and LINES TERMINATED BY values. This makes sense to most of the computing world, but it isn't the way Excel does escaping.

I think your double REPLACE is working, and that you are successfully replacing literal newlines with spaces (two spaces in the case of Windows-style newlines). But if you have any commas in your data (literals, not field separators), these are being preceded by quotation marks, which Excel treats much differently than MySQL. If that's the case, then the erroneous newlines that are tripping up Excel are actually newlines that MySQL had intended as line terminators.

Converting .NET DateTime to JSON

To parse the date string using String.replace with backreference:

var milli = "/Date(1245398693390)/".replace(/\/Date\((-?\d+)\)\//, '$1');
var d = new Date(parseInt(milli));

Using Html.ActionLink to call action on different controller

With that parameters you're triggering the wrong overloaded function/method.

What worked for me:

<%= Html.ActionLink("Details", "Details", "Product", new { id=item.ID }, null) %>

It fires HtmlHelper.ActionLink(string linkText, string actionName, string controllerName, object routeValues, object htmlAttributes)

I'm using MVC 4.

Cheerio!

How would I extract a single file (or changes to a file) from a git stash?

$ git checkout stash@{0} -- <filename>

Notes:

  1. Make sure you put space after the "--" and the file name parameter

  2. Replace zero(0) with your specific stash number. To get stash list, use:

    git stash list
    

Based on Jakub Narebski's answer -- Shorter version

What is the maximum possible length of a query string?

RFC 2616 (Hypertext Transfer Protocol — HTTP/1.1) states there is no limit to the length of a query string (section 3.2.1). RFC 3986 (Uniform Resource Identifier — URI) also states there is no limit, but indicates the hostname is limited to 255 characters because of DNS limitations (section 2.3.3).

While the specifications do not specify any maximum length, practical limits are imposed by web browser and server software. Based on research which is unfortunately no longer available on its original site (it leads to a shady seeming loan site) but which can still be found at Internet Archive Of Boutell.com:

  • Microsoft Internet Explorer (Browser)
    Microsoft states that the maximum length of a URL in Internet Explorer is 2,083 characters, with no more than 2,048 characters in the path portion of the URL. Attempts to use URLs longer than this produced a clear error message in Internet Explorer.

  • Microsoft Edge (Browser)
    The limit appears to be around 81578 characters. See URL Length limitation of Microsoft Edge

  • Chrome
    It stops displaying the URL after 64k characters, but can serve more than 100k characters. No further testing was done beyond that.

  • Firefox (Browser)
    After 65,536 characters, the location bar no longer displays the URL in Windows Firefox 1.5.x. However, longer URLs will work. No further testing was done after 100,000 characters.

  • Safari (Browser)
    At least 80,000 characters will work. Testing was not tried beyond that.

  • Opera (Browser)
    At least 190,000 characters will work. Stopped testing after 190,000 characters. Opera 9 for Windows continued to display a fully editable, copyable and pasteable URL in the location bar even at 190,000 characters.

  • Apache (Server)
    Early attempts to measure the maximum URL length in web browsers bumped into a server URL length limit of approximately 4,000 characters, after which Apache produces a "413 Entity Too Large" error. The current up to date Apache build found in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 was used. The official Apache documentation only mentions an 8,192-byte limit on an individual field in a request.

  • Microsoft Internet Information Server (Server)
    The default limit is 16,384 characters (yes, Microsoft's web server accepts longer URLs than Microsoft's web browser). This is configurable.

  • Perl HTTP::Daemon (Server)
    Up to 8,000 bytes will work. Those constructing web application servers with Perl's HTTP::Daemon module will encounter a 16,384 byte limit on the combined size of all HTTP request headers. This does not include POST-method form data, file uploads, etc., but it does include the URL. In practice this resulted in a 413 error when a URL was significantly longer than 8,000 characters. This limitation can be easily removed. Look for all occurrences of 16x1024 in Daemon.pm and replace them with a larger value. Of course, this does increase your exposure to denial of service attacks.

JavaScript seconds to time string with format hh:mm:ss

I'd upvote artem's answer, but I am a new poster. I did expand on his solution, though not what the OP asked for as follows

    t=(new Date()).toString().split(" ");
    timestring = (t[2]+t[1]+' <b>'+t[4]+'</b> '+t[6][1]+t[7][0]+t[8][0]);

To get

04Oct 16:31:28 PDT

This works for me...

But if you are starting with just a time quantity, I use two functions; one to format and pad, and one to calculate:

function sec2hms(timect){

  if(timect=== undefined||timect==0||timect === null){return ''};
  //timect is seconds, NOT milliseconds
  var se=timect % 60; //the remainder after div by 60
  timect = Math.floor(timect/60);
  var mi=timect % 60; //the remainder after div by 60
  timect = Math.floor(timect/60);
  var hr = timect % 24; //the remainder after div by 24
  var dy = Math.floor(timect/24);
  return padify (se, mi, hr, dy);
}

function padify (se, mi, hr, dy){
  hr = hr<10?"0"+hr:hr;
  mi = mi<10?"0"+mi:mi;
  se = se<10?"0"+se:se;
  dy = dy>0?dy+"d ":"";
  return dy+hr+":"+mi+":"+se;
}

How to grep for contents after pattern?

  fi
done

Is it .yaml or .yml?

.yaml is apparently the official extension, because some applications fail when using .yml. On the other hand I am not familiar with any applications which use YAML code, but fail with a .yaml extension.

I just stumbled across this, as I was used to writing .yml in Ansible and Docker Compose. Out of habit I used .yml when writing Netplan files which failed silently. I finally figured out my mistake. The author of a popular Ansible Galaxy role for Netplan makes the same assumption in his code:

- name: Capturing Existing Configurations
  find:
    paths: /etc/netplan
    patterns: "*.yml,*.yaml"
  register: _netplan_configs

Yet any files with a .yml extension get ignored by Netplan in the same way as files with a .bak extension. As Netplan is very quiet, and gives no feedback whatsoever on success, even with netplan apply --debug, a config such as 01-netcfg.yml will fail silently without any meaningful feedback.

Integration Testing POSTing an entire object to Spring MVC controller

One of the main purposes of integration testing with MockMvc is to verify that model objects are correclty populated with form data.

In order to do it you have to pass form data as they're passed from actual form (using .param()). If you use some automatic conversion from NewObject to from data, your test won't cover particular class of possible problems (modifications of NewObject incompatible with actual form).

How to move the layout up when the soft keyboard is shown android

What is thread safe or non-thread safe in PHP?

For me, I always choose non-thread safe version because I always use nginx, or run PHP from the command line.

The non-thread safe version should be used if you install PHP as a CGI binary, command line interface or other environment where only a single thread is used.

A thread-safe version should be used if you install PHP as an Apache module in a worker MPM (multi-processing model) or other environment where multiple PHP threads run concurrently.

invalid command code ., despite escaping periods, using sed

If you are on a OS X, this probably has nothing to do with the sed command. On the OSX version of sed, the -i option expects an extension argument so your command is actually parsed as the extension argument and the file path is interpreted as the command code.

Try adding the -e argument explicitly and giving '' as argument to -i:

find ./ -type f -exec sed -i '' -e "s/192.168.20.1/new.domain.com/" {} \;

var myMarker = new google.maps.Marker({
    position: new google.maps.LatLng(47.651968, 9.478485),
    draggable: true
});

google.maps.event.addListener(myMarker, 'dragend', function (evt) {
    document.getElementById('current').innerHTML = '<p>Marker dropped: Current Lat: ' + evt.latLng.lat().toFixed(3) + ' Current Lng: ' + evt.latLng.lng().toFixed(3) + '</p>';
});

google.maps.event.addListener(myMarker, 'dragstart', function (evt) {
    document.getElementById('current').innerHTML = '<p>Currently dragging marker...</p>';
});

map.setCenter(myMarker.position);
myMarker.setMap(map);

Call a child class method from a parent class object

A parent class should not have knowledge of child classes. You can implement a method calculate() and override it in every subclass:

class Person {
    String name;
    void getName(){...}
    void calculate();
}

and then

class Student extends Person{
    String class;
    void getClass(){...}

    @Override
    void calculate() {
        // do something with a Student
    }
}

and

class Teacher extends Person{
    String experience;
    void getExperience(){...}

    @Override
    void calculate() {
        // do something with a Student
    }

}

By the way. Your statement about abstract classes is confusing. You can call methods defined in an abstract class, but of course only of instances of subclasses.

In your example you can make Person abstract and the use getName() on instanced of Student and Teacher.

Java Look and Feel (L&F)

You can try L&F which i am developing - WebLaF
It combines three parts required for successful UI development:

  • Cross-platform re-stylable L&F for Swing applications
  • Large set of extended Swing components
  • Various utilities and managers

Binaries: https://github.com/mgarin/weblaf/releases
Source: https://github.com/mgarin/weblaf
Licenses: GPLv3 and Commercial

A few examples showing how some of WebLaF components look like: Some of WebLaF components

Main reason why i have started with a totally new L&F is that most of existing L&F lack flexibility - you cannot re-style them in most cases (you can only change a few colors and turn on/off some UI elements in best case) and/or there are only inconvenient ways to do that. Its even worse when it comes to custom/3rd party components styling - they doesn't look similar to other components styled by some specific L&F or even totally different - that makes your application look unprofessional and unpleasant.

My goal is to provide a fully customizable L&F with a pack of additional widely-known and useful components (for example: date chooser, tree table, dockable and document panes and lots of other) and additional helpful managers and utilities, which will reduce the amount of code required to quickly integrate WebLaF into your application and help creating awesome UIs using Swing.

Objective-C : BOOL vs bool

I go against convention here. I don't like typedef's to base types. I think it's a useless indirection that removes value.

  1. When I see the base type in your source I will instantly understand it. If it's a typedef I have to look it up to see what I'm really dealing with.
  2. When porting to another compiler or adding another library their set of typedefs may conflict and cause issues that are difficult to debug. I just got done dealing with this in fact. In one library boolean was typedef'ed to int, and in mingw/gcc it's typedef'ed to a char.

Converting NumPy array into Python List structure?

Use tolist():

import numpy as np
>>> np.array([[1,2,3],[4,5,6]]).tolist()
[[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]]

Note that this converts the values from whatever numpy type they may have (e.g. np.int32 or np.float32) to the "nearest compatible Python type" (in a list). If you want to preserve the numpy data types, you could call list() on your array instead, and you'll end up with a list of numpy scalars. (Thanks to Mr_and_Mrs_D for pointing that out in a comment.)

Installing tkinter on ubuntu 14.04

To get this to work with pyenv on Ubuntu 16.04, I had to:

$ sudo apt-get install python-tk python3-tk tk-dev

Then install the version of Python I wanted via pyenv:

$ pyenv install 3.6.2

Then I could import tkinter just fine:

import tkinter

Returning a C string from a function

Based on your newly-added backstory with the question, why not just return an integer from 1 to 12 for the month, and let the main() function use a switch statement or if-else ladder to decide what to print? It's certainly not the best way to go - char* would be - but in the context of a class like this I imagine it's probably the most elegant.

How to encode Doctrine entities to JSON in Symfony 2.0 AJAX application?

I had the same problem and I chosed to create my own encoder, which will cope by themself with recursion.

I created classes which implements Symfony\Component\Serializer\Normalizer\NormalizerInterface, and a service which holds every NormalizerInterface.

#This is the NormalizerService

class NormalizerService 
{

   //normalizer are stored in private properties
   private $entityOneNormalizer;
   private $entityTwoNormalizer;

   public function getEntityOneNormalizer()
   {
    //Normalizer are created only if needed
    if ($this->entityOneNormalizer == null)
        $this->entityOneNormalizer = new EntityOneNormalizer($this); //every normalizer keep a reference to this service

    return $this->entityOneNormalizer;
   }

   //create a function for each normalizer



  //the serializer service will also serialize the entities 
  //(i found it easier, but you don't really need it)
   public function serialize($objects, $format)
   {
     $serializer = new Serializer(
            array(
                $this->getEntityOneNormalizer(),
                $this->getEntityTwoNormalizer()
            ),
            array($format => $encoder) );

     return $serializer->serialize($response, $format);
}

An example of a Normalizer :

use Symfony\Component\Serializer\Normalizer\NormalizerInterface;

class PlaceNormalizer implements NormalizerInterface {

private $normalizerService;

public function __construct($normalizerService)
{
    $this->service = normalizerService;

}

public function normalize($object, $format = null) {
    $entityTwo = $object->getEntityTwo();
    $entityTwoNormalizer = $this->service->getEntityTwoNormalizer();

    return array(
        'param' => object->getParam(),
        //repeat for every parameter
        //!!!! this is where the entityOneNormalizer dealt with recursivity
        'entityTwo' => $entityTwoNormalizer->normalize($entityTwo, $format.'_without_any_entity_one') //the 'format' parameter is adapted for ignoring entity one - this may be done with different ways (a specific method, etc.)
    );
}

}

In a controller :

$normalizerService = $this->get('normalizer.service'); //you will have to configure services.yml
$json = $normalizerService->serialize($myobject, 'json');
return new Response($json);

The complete code is here : https://github.com/progracqteur/WikiPedale/tree/master/src/Progracqteur/WikipedaleBundle/Resources/Normalizer

Auto-size dynamic text to fill fixed size container

Most of the other answers use a loop to reduce the font-size until it fits on the div, this is VERY slow since the page needs to re-render the element each time the font changes size. I eventually had to write my own algorithm to make it perform in a way that allowed me to update its contents periodically without freezing the user browser. I added some other functionality (rotating text, adding padding) and packaged it as a jQuery plugin, you can get it at:

https://github.com/DanielHoffmann/jquery-bigtext

simply call

$("#text").bigText();

and it will fit nicely on your container.

See it in action here:

http://danielhoffmann.github.io/jquery-bigtext/

For now it has some limitations, the div must have a fixed height and width and it does not support wrapping text into multiple lines.

I will work on getting an option to set the maximum font-size.

Edit: I have found some more problems with the plugin, it does not handle other box-model besides the standard one and the div can't have margins or borders. I will work on it.

Edit2: I have now fixed those problems and limitations and added more options. You can set maximum font-size and you can also choose to limit the font-size using either width, height or both. I will work into accepting a max-width and max-height values in the wrapper element.

Edit3: I have updated the plugin to version 1.2.0. Major cleanup on the code and new options (verticalAlign, horizontalAlign, textAlign) and support for inner elements inside the span tag (like line-breaks or font-awesome icons.)

HTML button to NOT submit form

Dave Markle is correct. From W3School's website:

Always specify the type attribute for the button. The default type for Internet Explorer is "button", while in other browsers (and in the W3C specification) it is "submit".

In other words, the browser you're using is following W3C's specification.

Set drawable size programmatically

You can create a subclass of the view type, and override the onSizeChanged method.

I wanted to have scaling compound drawables on my text views that didn't require me to mess around with defining bitmap drawables in xml, etc. and did it this way:

public class StatIcon extends TextView {

    private Bitmap mIcon;

    public void setIcon(int drawableId) {
    mIcon = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(RIApplication.appResources,
            drawableId);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onSizeChanged(int w, int h, int oldw, int oldh) {
        if ((w > 0) && (mIcon != null))
            this.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(
                null,
                new BitmapDrawable(Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(mIcon, w, w,
                        true)), null, null);

        super.onSizeChanged(w, h, oldw, oldh);
    }

}

(Note that I used w twice, not h, as in this case I was putting the icon above the text, and thus the icon shouldn't have the same height as the text view)

This can be applied to background drawables, or anything else you want to resize relative to your view size. onSizeChanged() is called the first time the View is made, so you don't need any special cases for initialising the size.

How to find pg_config path

Postgres.app was updated recently. Now it stores all the binaries in "Versions" folder

PATH="/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/9.4/bin:$PATH"

Where 9.4 – version of PostgreSQL.

Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) after new installation on Ubuntu

TL;DR: To access newer versions of mysql/mariadb after as the root user, after a new install, you need to be in a root shell (ie sudo mysql -u root, or mysql -u root inside a shell started by su - or sudo -i first)


Having just done the same upgrade, on Ubuntu, I had the same issue.

What was odd was that

sudo /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation

Would accept my password, and allow me to set it, but I couldn't log in as root via the mysql client

I had to start mariadb with

sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables

to get access as root, whilst all the other users could still access fine.

Looking at the mysql.user table I noticed for root the plugin column is set to unix_socket whereas all other users it is set to 'mysql_native_password'. A quick look at this page: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/unix_socket-authentication-plugin/ explains that the Unix Socket enables logging in by matching uid of the process running the client with that of the user in the mysql.user table. In other words to access mariadb as root you have to be logged in as root.

Sure enough restarting my mariadb daemon with authentication required I can login as root with

sudo mysql -u root -p

or

sudo su -
mysql -u root -p

Having done this I thought about how to access without having to do the sudo, which is just a matter of running these mysql queries

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES on *.* to 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '<password>';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

(replacing <password> with your desired mysql root password). This enabled password logins for the root user.

Alternatively running the mysql query:

UPDATE mysql.user SET plugin = 'mysql_native_password' WHERE user = 'root' AND plugin = 'unix_socket';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Will change the root account to use password login without changing the password, but this may leave you with a mysql/mariadb install with no root password on it.

After either of these you need to restarting mysql/mariadb:

sudo service mysql restart

And voila I had access from my personal account via mysql -u root -p

PLEASE NOTE THAT DOING THIS IS REDUCING SECURITY Presumably the MariaDB developers have opted to have root access work like this for a good reason.

Thinking about it I'm quite happy to have to sudo mysql -u root -p so I'm switching back to that, but I thought I'd post my solution as I couldn't find one elsewhere.

Project has no default.properties file! Edit the project properties to set one

For me this problem occurred because I develop in two different environments with the same files. The newer environment converts the file structure and works fine then when I go back to the old environment I get this error. After messing around for a while trying to figure this out here is the solution I use:

1) rename project.properties to default.properties

2) edit .classpath file to remove the line:

<classpathentry exported="true" kind="con" path="com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.LIBRARIES"/>

4) Restart eclipse and/or clean the projects (may not be necessary)

How can I list the contents of a directory in Python?

In Python 3.4+, you can use the new pathlib package:

from pathlib import Path
for path in Path('.').iterdir():
    print(path)

Path.iterdir() returns an iterator, which can be easily turned into a list:

contents = list(Path('.').iterdir())

Flask-SQLAlchemy how to delete all rows in a single table

Flask-Sqlalchemy

Delete All Records

#for all records
db.session.query(Model).delete()
db.session.commit()

Deleted Single Row

here DB is the object Flask-SQLAlchemy class. It will delete all records from it and if you want to delete specific records then try filter clause in the query. ex.

#for specific value
db.session.query(Model).filter(Model.id==123).delete()
db.session.commit()

Delete Single Record by Object

record_obj = db.session.query(Model).filter(Model.id==123).first()
db.session.delete(record_obj)
db.session.commit()

Difference between mkdir() and mkdirs() in java for java.io.File

mkdirs() will create the specified directory path in its entirety where mkdir() will only create the bottom most directory, failing if it can't find the parent directory of the directory it is trying to create.

In other words mkdir() is like mkdir and mkdirs() is like mkdir -p.

For example, imagine we have an empty /tmp directory. The following code

new File("/tmp/one/two/three").mkdirs();

would create the following directories:

  • /tmp/one
  • /tmp/one/two
  • /tmp/one/two/three

Where this code:

new File("/tmp/one/two/three").mkdir();

would not create any directories - as it wouldn't find /tmp/one/two - and would return false.

How do I declare an array variable in VBA?

As pointed out by others, your problem is that you have not declared an array

Below I've tried to recreate your program so that it works as you intended. I tried to leave as much as possible as it was (such as leaving your array as a variant)

Public Sub Testprog()
    '"test()" is an array, "test" is not
    Dim test() As Variant
    'I am assuming that iCounter is the array size
    Dim iCounter As Integer

    '"On Error Resume Next" just makes us skip over a section that throws the error
    On Error Resume Next

    'if test() has not been assigned a UBound or LBound yet, calling either will throw an error
    '   without an LBound and UBound an array won't hold anything (we will assign them later)

    'Array size can be determined by (UBound(test) - LBound(test)) + 1
    If (UBound(test) - LBound(test)) + 1 > 0 Then
        iCounter = (UBound(test) - LBound(test)) + 1

        'So that we don't run the code that deals with UBound(test) throwing an error
        Exit Sub
    End If

    'All the code below here will run if UBound(test)/LBound(test) threw an error
    iCounter = 0

    'This makes LBound(test) = 0
    '   and UBound(test) = iCounter where iCounter is 0
    '   Which gives us one element at test(0)
    ReDim Preserve test(0 To iCounter)

    test(iCounter) = "test"
End Sub

What are the main performance differences between varchar and nvarchar SQL Server data types?

Always use nvarchar.

You may never need the double-byte characters for most applications. However, if you need to support double-byte languages and you only have single-byte support in your database schema it's really expensive to go back and modify throughout your application.

The cost of migrating one application from varchar to nvarchar will be much more than the little bit of extra disk space you'll use in most applications.

"y" is a string/array/pointer. 'y' is a char/integral type

How to exit when back button is pressed?

The app will only exit if there are no activities in the back stack. SO add this line in your manifest android:noHistory="true" to all the activities that you dont want to be back stacked.And then to close the app call the finish() in the OnBackPressed

<activity android:name=".activities.DemoActivity"
            android:screenOrientation="portrait"
            **android:noHistory="true"**
            />

MS Access - execute a saved query by name in VBA

You should investigate why VBA can't find queryname.

I have a saved query named qryAddLoginfoRow. It inserts a row with the current time into my loginfo table. That query runs successfully when called by name by CurrentDb.Execute.

CurrentDb.Execute "qryAddLoginfoRow"

My guess is that either queryname is a variable holding the name of a query which doesn't exist in the current database's QueryDefs collection, or queryname is the literal name of an existing query but you didn't enclose it in quotes.

Edit: You need to find a way to accept that queryname does not exist in the current db's QueryDefs collection. Add these 2 lines to your VBA code just before the CurrentDb.Execute line.

Debug.Print "queryname = '" & queryname & "'"
Debug.Print CurrentDb.QueryDefs(queryname).Name

The second of those 2 lines will trigger run-time error 3265, "Item not found in this collection." Then go to the Immediate window to verify the name of the query you're asking CurrentDb to Execute.

Changing Vim indentation behavior by file type

I use a utility that I wrote in C called autotab. It analyzes the first few thousand lines of a file which you load and determines values for the Vim parameters shiftwidth, tabstop and expandtab.

This is compiled using, for instance, gcc -O autotab.c -o autotab. Instructions for integrating with Vim are in the comment header at the top.

Autotab is fairly clever, but can get confused from time to time, in particular by that have been inconsistently maintained using different indentation styles.

If a file evidently uses tabs, or a combination of tabs and spaces, for indentation, Autotab will figure out what tab size is being used by considering factors like alignment of internal elements across successive lines, such as comments.

It works for a variety of programming languages, and is forgiving for "out of band" elements which do not obey indentation increments, such as C preprocessing directives, C statement labels, not to mention the obvious blank lines.

Renaming branches remotely in Git

First checkout to the branch which you want to rename:

git branch -m old_branch new_branch
git push -u origin new_branch

To remove an old branch from remote:

git push origin :old_branch

Append key/value pair to hash with << in Ruby

I had to do a similar thing but I needed to add values with same keys. When I use merge or update I can't push values with same keys. So I had to use array of hashes.

    my_hash_static = {:header =>{:company => 'xx', :usercode => 'xx', :password => 'xx',
                      :type=> 'n:n', :msgheader => from}, :body=>[]}
    my_hash_dynamic = {:mp=>{:msg=>message, :no=>phones} }        
    my_hash_full = my_hash_static[:body].push my_hash_dynamic

Given a starting and ending indices, how can I copy part of a string in C?

Just use memcpy.

If the destination isn't big enough, strncpy won't null terminate. if the destination is huge compared to the source, strncpy just fills the destination with nulls after the string. strncpy is pointless, and unsuitable for copying strings.

strncpy is like memcpy except it fills the destination with nulls once it sees one in the source. It's absolutely useless for string operations. It's for fixed with 0 padded records.

Combine two data frames by rows (rbind) when they have different sets of columns

You could also use sjmisc::add_rows(), which uses dplyr::bind_rows(), but unlike bind_rows(), add_rows() preserves attributes and hence is useful for labelled data.

See following example with a labelled dataset. The frq()-function prints frequency tables with value labels, if the data is labelled.

library(sjmisc)
library(dplyr)

data(efc)
# select two subsets, with some identical and else different columns
x1 <- efc %>% select(1:5) %>% slice(1:10)
x2 <- efc %>% select(3:7) %>% slice(11:20)

str(x1)

Eclipse: The declared package does not match the expected package

Happens for me after failed builds run outside of the IDE. If cleaning your workspace doesn't work, try: 1) Delete all projects 2) Close and restart STS/eclipse, 3) Re-import the projects

Update just one gem with bundler

Here you can find a good explanation on the difference between

Update both gem and dependencies:

bundle update gem-name 

or

Update exclusively the gem:

bundle update --source gem-name

along with some nice examples of possible side-effects.

Update

As @Tim's answer says, as of Bundler 1.14 the officially-supported way to this is with bundle update --conservative gem-name.

NTFS performance and large volumes of files and directories

I had real experience with about 100 000 files (each several MBs) on NTFS in a directory while copying one online library.

It takes about 15 minutes to open the directory with Explorer or 7-zip.

Writing site copy with winhttrack will always get stuck after some time. It dealt also with directory, containing about 1 000 000 files. I think the worst thing is that the MFT can only by traversed sequentially.

Opening the same under ext2fsd on ext3 gave almost the same timing. Probably moving to reiserfs (not reiser4fs) can help.

Trying to avoid this situation is probably the best.

For your own programs using blobs w/o any fs could be beneficial. That's the way Facebook does for storing photos.

svn : how to create a branch from certain revision of trunk

$ svn copy http://svn.example.com/repos/calc/trunk@192 \
   http://svn.example.com/repos/calc/branches/my-calc-branch \
   -m "Creating a private branch of /calc/trunk."

Where 192 is the revision you specify

You can find this information from the SVN Book, specifically here on the page about svn copy

Regex (grep) for multi-line search needed

Without the need to install the grep variant pcregrep, you can do multiline search with grep.

$ grep -Pzo "(?s)^(\s*)\N*main.*?{.*?^\1}" *.c

Explanation:

-P activate perl-regexp for grep (a powerful extension of regular expressions)

-z suppress newline at the end of line, substituting it for null character. That is, grep knows where end of line is, but sees the input as one big line.

-o print only matching. Because we're using -z, the whole file is like a single big line, so if there is a match, the entire file would be printed; this way it won't do that.

In regexp:

(?s) activate PCRE_DOTALL, which means that . finds any character or newline

\N find anything except newline, even with PCRE_DOTALL activated

.*? find . in non-greedy mode, that is, stops as soon as possible.

^ find start of line

\1 backreference to the first group (\s*). This is a try to find the same indentation of method.

As you can imagine, this search prints the main method in a C (*.c) source file.

How do I change a TCP socket to be non-blocking?

fcntl() or ioctl() are used to set the properties for file streams. When you use this function to make a socket non-blocking, function like accept(), recv() and etc, which are blocking in nature will return error and errno would be set to EWOULDBLOCK. You can poll file descriptor sets to poll on sockets.

How can I inspect element in an Android browser?

If you want to inspect html, css or maybe you need js console in your mobile browser . You can use excelent tool eruda Using it you have the same Developer Tools on your mobile browser like in your desctop device. Dont forget to upvote :) Here is a link https://github.com/liriliri/eruda

Program does not contain a static 'Main' method suitable for an entry point

Maybe the "Output type" in properties->Application of the project must be a "Class Library" instead of console or windows application.

If REST applications are supposed to be stateless, how do you manage sessions?

The whole concept is different... You don't need to manage sessions if you are trying to implement RESTFul protocol. In that case it is better to do authentication procedure on every request (whereas there is an extra cost to it in terms of performance - hashing password would be a good example. not a big deal...). If you use sessions - how can you distribute load across multiple servers? I bet RESTFul protocol is meant to eliminate sessions whatsoever - you don't really need them... That's why it is called "stateless". Sessions are only required when you cannot store anything other than Cookie on a client side after a reqest has been made (take old, non Javascript/HTML5-supporting browser as an example). In case of "full-featured" RESTFul client it is usually safe to store base64(login:password) on a client side (in memory) until the applictation is still loaded - the application is used to access to the only host and the cookie cannot be compromised by the third party scripts...

I would stronly recommend to disable cookie authentication for RESTFul sevices... check out Basic/Digest Auth - that should be enough for RESTFul based services.

What is compiler, linker, loader?

A Compiler translates lines of code from the programming language into machine language.

A Linker creates a link between two programs.

A Loader loads the program into memory in the main database, program, etc.

HTTP GET request in JavaScript?

Browsers (and Dashcode) provide an XMLHttpRequest object which can be used to make HTTP requests from JavaScript:

function httpGet(theUrl)
{
    var xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
    xmlHttp.open( "GET", theUrl, false ); // false for synchronous request
    xmlHttp.send( null );
    return xmlHttp.responseText;
}

However, synchronous requests are discouraged and will generate a warning along the lines of:

Note: Starting with Gecko 30.0 (Firefox 30.0 / Thunderbird 30.0 / SeaMonkey 2.27), synchronous requests on the main thread have been deprecated due to the negative effects to the user experience.

You should make an asynchronous request and handle the response inside an event handler.

function httpGetAsync(theUrl, callback)
{
    var xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
    xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = function() { 
        if (xmlHttp.readyState == 4 && xmlHttp.status == 200)
            callback(xmlHttp.responseText);
    }
    xmlHttp.open("GET", theUrl, true); // true for asynchronous 
    xmlHttp.send(null);
}

JUnit assertEquals(double expected, double actual, double epsilon)

Epsilon is your "fuzz factor," since doubles may not be exactly equal. Epsilon lets you describe how close they have to be.

If you were expecting 3.14159 but would take anywhere from 3.14059 to 3.14259 (that is, within 0.001), then you should write something like

double myPi = 22.0d / 7.0d; //Don't use this in real life!
assertEquals(3.14159, myPi, 0.001);

(By the way, 22/7 comes out to 3.1428+, and would fail the assertion. This is a good thing.)

Missing Maven dependencies in Eclipse project

None of the solutions above worked for me, so this answer is for anyone else in my situation. I eventually found the problem myself, and a different solution. The pom.xml file contained a dependencyManagement tag that wrapped the dependencies, and M2Eclipse would not add the Maven Dependencies folder when this was present. So, I removed this tag, then carried out the solution offered by Ualter Jr., and Eclipse immediately added the missing folder!

cast_sender.js error: Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED in Chrome

A simple fix for this is to install the Google Cast extension. If you don't have a Chromecast, or don't want to use the extension, no problem; just don't use the extension.

How to stop flask application without using ctrl-c

This is an old question, but googling didn't give me any insight in how to accomplish this.

Because I didn't read the code here properly! (Doh!) What it does is to raise a RuntimeError when there is no werkzeug.server.shutdown in the request.environ...

So what we can do when there is no request is to raise a RuntimeError

def shutdown():
    raise RuntimeError("Server going down")

and catch that when app.run() returns:

...
try:
    app.run(host="0.0.0.0")
except RuntimeError, msg:
    if str(msg) == "Server going down":
        pass # or whatever you want to do when the server goes down
    else:
        # appropriate handling/logging of other runtime errors
# and so on
...

No need to send yourself a request.

Spring Boot - Cannot determine embedded database driver class for database type NONE

Right click the project and select the following option Maven -> Update Project. This has solved my issue.

NodeJS accessing file with relative path

You can use the path module to join the path of the directory in which helper1.js lives to the relative path of foobar.json. This will give you the absolute path to foobar.json.

var fs = require('fs');
var path = require('path');

var jsonPath = path.join(__dirname, '..', 'config', 'dev', 'foobar.json');
var jsonString = fs.readFileSync(jsonPath, 'utf8');

This should work on Linux, OSX, and Windows assuming a UTF8 encoding.

Android set bitmap to Imageview

this code works with me

 ImageView carView = (ImageView) v.findViewById(R.id.car_icon);

                            byte[] decodedString = Base64.decode(picture, Base64.NO_WRAP);
                            InputStream input=new ByteArrayInputStream(decodedString);
                            Bitmap ext_pic = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(input);
                            carView.setImageBitmap(ext_pic);

Reading a single char in Java

You can use Scanner like so:

Scanner s= new Scanner(System.in);
char x = s.next().charAt(0);

By using the charAt function you are able to get the value of the first char without using external casting.

Generate SHA hash in C++ using OpenSSL library

Here is OpenSSL example of calculating sha-1 digest using BIO:

#include <openssl/bio.h>
#include <openssl/evp.h>

std::string sha1(const std::string &input)
{
    BIO * p_bio_md  = nullptr;
    BIO * p_bio_mem = nullptr;

    try
    {
        // make chain: p_bio_md <-> p_bio_mem
        p_bio_md = BIO_new(BIO_f_md());
        if (!p_bio_md) throw std::bad_alloc();
        BIO_set_md(p_bio_md, EVP_sha1());

        p_bio_mem = BIO_new_mem_buf((void*)input.c_str(), input.length());
        if (!p_bio_mem) throw std::bad_alloc();
        BIO_push(p_bio_md, p_bio_mem);

        // read through p_bio_md
        // read sequence: buf <<-- p_bio_md <<-- p_bio_mem
        std::vector<char> buf(input.size());
        for (;;)
        {
            auto nread = BIO_read(p_bio_md, buf.data(), buf.size());
            if (nread  < 0) { throw std::runtime_error("BIO_read failed"); }
            if (nread == 0) { break; } // eof
        }

        // get result
        char md_buf[EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE];
        auto md_len = BIO_gets(p_bio_md, md_buf, sizeof(md_buf));
        if (md_len <= 0) { throw std::runtime_error("BIO_gets failed"); }

        std::string result(md_buf, md_len);

        // clean
        BIO_free_all(p_bio_md);

        return result;
    }
    catch (...)
    {
        if (p_bio_md) { BIO_free_all(p_bio_md); }
        throw;
    }
}

Though it's longer than just calling SHA1 function from OpenSSL, but it's more universal and can be reworked for using with file streams (thus processing data of any length).

How to grep recursively, but only in files with certain extensions?

The below answer is good:

grep -r -i --include \*.h --include \*.cpp CP_Image ~/path[12345] | mailx -s GREP [email protected]

But can be updated to:

grep -r -i --include \*.{h,cpp} CP_Image ~/path[12345] | mailx -s GREP [email protected]

Which can be more simple.

Determine if string is in list in JavaScript

I'm surprised no one had mentioned a simple function that takes a string and a list.

function in_list(needle, hay)
{
    var i, len;

    for (i = 0, len = hay.length; i < len; i++)
    {
        if (hay[i] == needle) { return true; }
    }

    return false;
}

var alist = ["test"];

console.log(in_list("test", alist));

AngularJS: No "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" header is present on the requested resource

CORS is Cross Origin Resource Sharing, you get this error if you are trying to access from one domain to another domain.

Try using JSONP. In your case, JSONP should work fine because it only uses the GET method.

Try something like this:

var url = "https://api.getevents.co/event?&lat=41.904196&lng=12.465974";
$http({
    method: 'JSONP',
    url: url
}).
success(function(status) {
    //your code when success
}).
error(function(status) {
    //your code when fails
});
