Pass variables from servlet to jsp

Use

request.setAttribute("attributeName");

and then

getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/file.jsp").forward();

Then it will be accessible in the JSP.

As a side note - in your jsp avoid using java code. Use JSTL.

Setting Custom ActionBar Title from Fragment

Use the following:

getActivity().setTitle("YOUR_TITLE");

Python division

Personally I preferred to insert a 1. * at the very beginning. So the expression become something like this:

1. * (20-10) / (100-10)

As I always do a division for some formula like:

accuracy = 1. * (len(y_val) - sum(y_val)) / len(y_val)

so it is impossible to simply add a .0 like 20.0. And in my case, wrapping with a float() may lose a little bit readability.

Should URL be case sensitive?

Look at the specification here: section 2.7.3 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-httpbis-p1-messaging-25#page-19

The scheme and host are case-insensitive and normally provided in lowercase; all other components are compared in a case-sensitive manner.

Declaring an HTMLElement Typescript

Okay: weird syntax!

var el: HTMLElement = document.getElementById('content');

fixes the problem. I wonder why the example didn't do this in the first place?

complete code:

class Greeter {
    element: HTMLElement;
    span: HTMLElement;
    timerToken: number;

    constructor (element: HTMLElement) { 
        this.element = element;
        this.element.innerText += "The time is: ";
        this.span = document.createElement('span');
        this.element.appendChild(this.span);
        this.span.innerText = new Date().toUTCString();
    }

    start() {
        this.timerToken = setInterval(() => this.span.innerText = new Date().toUTCString(), 500);
    }

    stop() {
        clearTimeout(this.timerToken);
    }

}

window.onload = () => {
    var el: HTMLElement = document.getElementById('content');
    var greeter = new Greeter(el);
    greeter.start();
};

Setting public class variables

If you are going to follow the examples given (using getter/setter or setting it in the constructor) change it to private since those are ways to control what is set in the variable.

It doesn't make sense to keep the property public with all those things added to the class.

Is there any JSON Web Token (JWT) example in C#?

It would be better to use standard and famous libraries instead of writing the code from scratch.

  1. JWT for encoding and decoding JWT tokens
  2. Bouncy Castle supports encryption and decryption, especially RS256 get it here

Using these libraries you can generate a JWT token and sign it using RS256 as below.

    public string GenerateJWTToken(string rsaPrivateKey)
    {
        var rsaParams = GetRsaParameters(rsaPrivateKey);
        var encoder = GetRS256JWTEncoder(rsaParams);

        // create the payload according to the Google's doc
        var payload = new Dictionary<string, object>
        {
            { "iss", ""},
            { "sub", "" },
            // and other key-values according to the doc
        };

        // add headers. 'alg' and 'typ' key-values are added automatically.
        var header = new Dictionary<string, object>
        {
            { "kid", "{your_private_key_id}" },
        };

        var token = encoder.Encode(header,payload, new byte[0]);

        return token;
    }

    private static IJwtEncoder GetRS256JWTEncoder(RSAParameters rsaParams)
    {
        var csp = new RSACryptoServiceProvider();
        csp.ImportParameters(rsaParams);

        var algorithm = new RS256Algorithm(csp, csp);
        var serializer = new JsonNetSerializer();
        var urlEncoder = new JwtBase64UrlEncoder();
        var encoder = new JwtEncoder(algorithm, serializer, urlEncoder);

        return encoder;
    }

    private static RSAParameters GetRsaParameters(string rsaPrivateKey)
    {
        var byteArray = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(rsaPrivateKey);
        using (var ms = new MemoryStream(byteArray))
        {
            using (var sr = new StreamReader(ms))
            {
                // use Bouncy Castle to convert the private key to RSA parameters
                var pemReader = new PemReader(sr);
                var keyPair = pemReader.ReadObject() as AsymmetricCipherKeyPair;
                return DotNetUtilities.ToRSAParameters(keyPair.Private as RsaPrivateCrtKeyParameters);
            }
        }
    }

ps: the RSA private key should have the following format:

-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY----- {base64 formatted value} -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

rejected master -> master (non-fast-forward)

If anyone has this error while trying to push to heroku then just replace 'origin' with 'heroku' like this: git push -f heroku master

How to see the changes in a Git commit?

git show shows the changes made in the most recent commit.

Equivalent to git show HEAD.

git show HEAD~1 takes you back 1 commit.

How to use not contains() in xpath?

XPath queries are case sensitive. Having looked at your example (which, by the way, is awesome, nobody seems to provide examples anymore!), I can get the result you want just by changing "business", to "Business"

//production[not(contains(category,'Business'))]

I have tested this by opening the XML file in Chrome, and using the Developer tools to execute that XPath queries, and it gave me just the Film category back.

Creating a recursive method for Palindrome

/**
     * Function to check a String is palindrome or not
     * @param s input String

    public boolean checkPalindrome(String s) {

        if (s.length() == 1 || s.isEmpty())
            return true;

        boolean palindrome = checkPalindrome(s.substring(1, s.length() - 1));

        return palindrome && s.charAt(0) == s.charAt(s.length() - 1);

    }

SqlException from Entity Framework - New transaction is not allowed because there are other threads running in the session

We started seeing this error "New transaction is not allowed because there are other threads running in the session" after migrating from EF5 to EF6.

Google brought us here but we are not calling SaveChanges() inside the loop. The errors were raised when executing a stored procedure using the ObjectContext.ExecuteFunction inside a foreach loop reading from the DB.

Any call to ObjectContext.ExecuteFunction wraps the function in a transaction. Beginning a transaction while there is already an open reader causes the error.

It is possible to disable wrapping the SP in a transaction by setting the following option.

_context.Configuration.EnsureTransactionsForFunctionsAndCommands = false;

The EnsureTransactionsForFunctionsAndCommands option allows the SP to run without creating its own transaction and the error is no longer raised.

DbContextConfiguration.EnsureTransactionsForFunctionsAndCommands Property

How do I read a string entered by the user in C?

On a POSIX system, you probably should use getline if it's available.

You also can use Chuck Falconer's public domain ggets function which provides syntax closer to gets but without the problems. (Chuck Falconer's website is no longer available, although archive.org has a copy, and I've made my own page for ggets.)

Encapsulation vs Abstraction?

Encapsulation protects to collapse the internal behaviour of object/instance from external entity. So, a control should be provided to confirm that the data which is being supplied is not going to harm the internal system of instance/object to survive its existance.

Good example, Divider is a class which has two instance variable dividend and divisor and a method getDividedValue.

Can you please think, if the divisor is set to 0 then internal system/behaviour (getDivided ) will break.

So, the object internal behaviour could be protected by throwing exception through a method.

How to configure Docker port mapping to use Nginx as an upstream proxy?

I tried using the popular Jason Wilder reverse proxy that code-magically works for everyone, and learned that it doesn't work for everyone (ie: me). And I'm brand new to NGINX, and didn't like that I didn't understand the technologies I was trying to use.

Wanted to add my 2 cents, because the discussion above around linking containers together is now dated since it is a deprecated feature. So here's an explanation on how to do it using networks. This answer is a full example of setting up nginx as a reverse proxy to a statically paged website using Docker Compose and nginx configuration.

TL;DR;

Add the services that need to talk to each other onto a predefined network. For a step-by-step discussion on Docker networks, I learned some things here: https://technologyconversations.com/2016/04/25/docker-networking-and-dns-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly/

Define the Network

First of all, we need a network upon which all your backend services can talk on. I called mine web but it can be whatever you want.

docker network create web

Build the App

We'll just do a simple website app. The website is a simple index.html page being served by an nginx container. The content is a mounted volume to the host under a folder content

DockerFile:

FROM nginx
COPY default.conf /etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf

default.conf

server {
    listen       80;
    server_name  localhost;

    location / {
        root   /var/www/html;
        index  index.html index.htm;
    }

    error_page   500 502 503 504  /50x.html;
    location = /50x.html {
        root   /usr/share/nginx/html;
    }
}

docker-compose.yml

version: "2"

networks:
  mynetwork:
    external:
      name: web

services:
  nginx:
    container_name: sample-site
    build: .
    expose:
      - "80"
    volumes:
      - "./content/:/var/www/html/"
    networks:
      default: {}
      mynetwork:
        aliases:
          - sample-site

Note that we no longer need port mapping here. We simple expose port 80. This is handy for avoiding port collisions.

Run the App

Fire this website up with

docker-compose up -d

Some fun checks regarding the dns mappings for your container:

docker exec -it sample-site bash
ping sample-site

This ping should work, inside your container.

Build the Proxy

Nginx Reverse Proxy:

Dockerfile

FROM nginx

RUN rm /etc/nginx/conf.d/*

We reset all the virtual host config, since we're going to customize it.

docker-compose.yml

version: "2"

networks:
  mynetwork:
    external:
      name: web


services:
  nginx:
    container_name: nginx-proxy
    build: .
    ports:
      - "80:80"
      - "443:443"
    volumes:
      - ./conf.d/:/etc/nginx/conf.d/:ro
      - ./sites/:/var/www/
    networks:
      default: {}
      mynetwork:
        aliases:
          - nginx-proxy

Run the Proxy

Fire up the proxy using our trusty

docker-compose up -d

Assuming no issues, then you have two containers running that can talk to each other using their names. Let's test it.

docker exec -it nginx-proxy bash
ping sample-site
ping nginx-proxy

Set up Virtual Host

Last detail is to set up the virtual hosting file so the proxy can direct traffic based on however you want to set up your matching:

sample-site.conf for our virtual hosting config:

  server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;

    server_name my.domain.com;

    location / {
      proxy_pass http://sample-site;
    }

  }

Based on how the proxy was set up, you'll need this file stored under your local conf.d folder which we mounted via the volumes declaration in the docker-compose file.

Last but not least, tell nginx to reload it's config.

docker exec nginx-proxy service nginx reload

These sequence of steps is the culmination of hours of pounding head-aches as I struggled with the ever painful 502 Bad Gateway error, and learning nginx for the first time, since most of my experience was with Apache.

This answer is to demonstrate how to kill the 502 Bad Gateway error that results from containers not being able to talk to one another.

I hope this answer saves someone out there hours of pain, since getting containers to talk to each other was really hard to figure out for some reason, despite it being what I expected to be an obvious use-case. But then again, me dumb. And please let me know how I can improve this approach.

Which characters make a URL invalid?

I need to select character to split urls in string, so I decided to create list of characters which could not be found in URL by myself:

>>> allowed = "-_.~!*'();:@&=+$,/?%#[]?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789"
>>> from string import printable
>>> ''.join(set(printable).difference(set(allowed)))
'`" <\x0b\n\r\x0c\\\t{^}|>'

So, the possible choices are the newline, tab, space, backslash and "<>{}^|. I guess I'll go with the space or newline. :)

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

Apply CSS table-layout:fixed; (and sometimes width:<any px or %>) to the TABLE and white-space: nowrap; overflow: hidden; style on TD. Then set CSS widths on the correct cell or column elements.

Significantly, fixed-layout table column widths are determined by the cell widths in the first row of the table. If there are TH elements in the first row, and widths are applied to TD (and not TH), then the width only applies to the contents of the TD (white-space and overflow may be ignored); the table columns will distribute evenly regardless of the set TD width (because there are no widths specified [on TH in the first row]) and the columns will have [calculated] equal widths; the table will not recalculate the column width based on TD width in subsequent rows. Set the width on the first cell elements the table will encounter.

Alternatively, and the safest way to set column widths is to use <COLGROUP> and <COL> tags in the table with the CSS width set on each fixed width COL. Cell width related CSS plays nicer when the table knows the column widths in advance.

How to select the last column of dataframe

Somewhat similar to your original attempt, but more Pythonic, is to use Python's standard negative-indexing convention to count backwards from the end:

df[df.columns[-1]]

Why does Lua have no "continue" statement?

We encountered this scenario many times and we simply use a flag to simulate continue. We try to avoid the use of goto statements as well.

Example: The code intends to print the statements from i=1 to i=10 except i=3. In addition it also prints "loop start", loop end", "if start", and "if end" to simulate other nested statements that exist in your code.

size = 10
for i=1, size do
    print("loop start")
    if whatever then
        print("if start")
        if (i == 3) then
            print("i is 3")
            --continue
        end
        print(j)
        print("if end")
    end
    print("loop end")
end

is achieved by enclosing all remaining statements until the end scope of the loop with a test flag.

size = 10
for i=1, size do
    print("loop start")
    local continue = false;  -- initialize flag at the start of the loop
    if whatever then
        print("if start")
        if (i == 3) then
            print("i is 3")
            continue = true
        end

        if continue==false then          -- test flag
            print(j)
            print("if end")
        end
    end

    if (continue==false) then            -- test flag
        print("loop end")
    end
end

I'm not saying that this is the best approach but it works perfectly to us.

disabling spring security in spring boot app

security.ignored is deprecated since Spring Boot 2.

For me simply extend the Annotation of your Application class did the Trick:

@SpringBootApplication(exclude = SecurityAutoConfiguration.class)

Javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: javax.net.ssl.SSLProtocolException: SSL handshake aborted: Failure in SSL library, usually a protocol error

Previously, I've also solved this problem with custom SSLFactory implementation, but according to OkHttp docs the solution is much easier.

My final solution with needed TLS ciphers for 4.2+ devices looks like this:

public UsersApi provideUsersApi() {

    private ConnectionSpec spec = new ConnectionSpec.Builder(ConnectionSpec.COMPATIBLE_TLS)
        .supportsTlsExtensions(true)
        .tlsVersions(TlsVersion.TLS_1_2, TlsVersion.TLS_1_1, TlsVersion.TLS_1_0)
        .cipherSuites(
                CipherSuite.TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256,
                CipherSuite.TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256,
                CipherSuite.TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256,
                CipherSuite.TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA,
                CipherSuite.TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,
                CipherSuite.TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,
                CipherSuite.TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA,
                CipherSuite.TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA,
                CipherSuite.TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA,
                CipherSuite.TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,
                CipherSuite.TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA,
                CipherSuite.TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA)
        .build();

    OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient.Builder()
            .connectionSpecs(Collections.singletonList(spec))
            .build();

    return new Retrofit.Builder()
            .baseUrl(USERS_URL)
            .addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())
            .client(client)
            .build()
            .create(UsersApi.class);
}

Note that set of supported protocols depends on configured on your server.

How to condense if/else into one line in Python?

An example of Python's way of doing "ternary" expressions:

i = 5 if a > 7 else 0

translates into

if a > 7:
   i = 5
else:
   i = 0

This actually comes in handy when using list comprehensions, or sometimes in return statements, otherwise I'm not sure it helps that much in creating readable code.

The readability issue was discussed at length in this recent SO question better way than using if-else statement in python.

It also contains various other clever (and somewhat obfuscated) ways to accomplish the same task. It's worth a read just based on those posts.

Static constant string (class member)

This is just extra information, but if you really want the string in a header file, try something like:

class foo
{
public:
    static const std::string& RECTANGLE(void)
    {
        static const std::string str = "rectangle";

        return str;
    }
};

Though I doubt that's recommended.

Should I use px or rem value units in my CSS?

josh3736's answer is a good one, but to provide a counterpoint 3 years later:

I recommend using rem units for fonts, if only because it makes it easier for you, the developer, to change sizes. It's true that users very rarely change the default font size in their browsers, and that modern browser zoom will scale up px units. But what if your boss comes to you and says "don't enlarge the images or icons, but make all the fonts bigger". It's much easier to just change the root font size and let all the other fonts scale relative to that, then to change px sizes in dozens or hundreds of css rules.

I think it still makes sense to use px units for some images, or for certain layout elements that should always be the same size regardless of the scale of the design.

Caniuse.com may have said that only 75% of browsers when josh3736 posted his answer in 2012, but as of March 27 they claim 93.78% support. Only IE8 doesn't support it among the browsers they track.

How to add a downloaded .box file to Vagrant?

Is it possible to declare a public variable in vba and assign a default value?

Little-Known Fact:
A named range can refer to a value instead of specific cells.

This could be leveraged to act like a "global variable", plus you can refer to the value from VBA and in a worksheet cell, and the assigned value will even persist after closing & re-opening the workbook!


  • To "declare" the name myVariable and assign it a value of 123:

    ThisWorkbook.Names.Add "myVariable", 123
    
  • To retrieve the value (for example to display the value in a MsgBox):

      MsgBox [myVariable]
    
  • Alternatively, you could refer to the name with a string: (identical result as square brackets)

    MsgBox Evaluate("myVariable")
    
  • To use the value on a worksheet just use it's name in your formula as-is:

    =myVariable
    
  • In fact, you could even store function expressions: (sort of like in JavaScript)
    (Admittedly, I can't actually think of a situation where this would be beneficial - but I don't use them in JS either.)

    ThisWorkbook.Names.Add "myDay", "=if(isodd(day(today())),""on day"",""off day"")"
    

Square brackets are just a shortcut for the Evaluate method. I've heard that using them is considered messy or "hacky", but I've had no issues and their use in Excel is supported by Microsoft.

There is probably also a way use the Range function to refer to these names, but I don't see any advantage so I didn't look very deeply into it.


More info:

Is there shorthand for returning a default value if None in Python?

You could use the or operator:

return x or "default"

Note that this also returns "default" if x is any falsy value, including an empty list, 0, empty string, or even datetime.time(0) (midnight).

How can I pass parameters to a partial view in mvc 4

Here is an extension method that will convert an object to a ViewDataDictionary.

public static ViewDataDictionary ToViewDataDictionary(this object values)
{
    var dictionary = new ViewDataDictionary();
    foreach (PropertyDescriptor property in TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(values))
    {
        dictionary.Add(property.Name, property.GetValue(values));
    }
    return dictionary;
}

You can then use it in your view like so:

@Html.Partial("_MyPartial", new
{
    Property1 = "Value1",
    Property2 = "Value2"
}.ToViewDataDictionary())

Which is much nicer than the new ViewDataDictionary { { "Property1", "Value1" } , { "Property2", "Value2" }} syntax.

Then in your partial view, you can use ViewBag to access the properties from a dynamic object rather than indexed properties, e.g.

<p>@ViewBag.Property1</p>
<p>@ViewBag.Property2</p>

What Are Some Good .NET Profilers?

I doubt that the profiler which comes with Visual Studio Team System is the best profiler, but I have found it to be good enough on many occasions. What specifically do you need beyond what VS offers?

EDIT: Unfortunately it is only available in VS Team System, but if you have access to that it is worth checking out.

Passing parameters to click() & bind() event in jquery?

From where would you get these values? If they're from the button itself, you could just do

commentbtn.click(function() {
   alert(this.id);
});

If they're a variable in the binding scope, you can access them from without

var id = 1;
commentbtn.click(function() {
   alert(id);
});

If they're a variable in the binding scope, that might change before the click is called, you'll need to create a new closure

for(var i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
   $('#button'+i).click((function(id) {
      return function() {
         alert(id);
      };
   }(i)));
}

SELECT table_name FROM information_schema.tables WHERE table_schema='public'

It will only list tables that you create.

Connecting to Postgresql in a docker container from outside

In case, it is a django backend application, you can do something like this.

docker exec -it container_id python manage.py dbshell

How exactly does the android:onClick XML attribute differ from setOnClickListener?

The best way to do this is with the following code:

 Button button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btn_register);
 button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                //do your fancy method
            }
        });

How can I pass an Integer class correctly by reference?

You are correct here:

Integer i = 0;
i = i + 1;  // <- I think that this is somehow creating a new object!

First: Integer is immutable.

Second: the Integer class is not overriding the + operator, there is autounboxing and autoboxing involved at that line (In older versions of Java you would get an error on the above line).
When you write i + 1 the compiler first converts the Integer to an (primitive) int for performing the addition: autounboxing. Next, doing i = <some int> the compiler converts from int to an (new) Integer: autoboxing.
So + is actually being applied to primitive ints.

Show hidden div on ng-click within ng-repeat

Remove the display:none, and use ng-show instead:

<ul class="procedures">
    <li ng-repeat="procedure in procedures | filter:query | orderBy:orderProp">
        <h4><a href="#" ng-click="showDetails = ! showDetails">{{procedure.definition}}</a></h4>
         <div class="procedure-details" ng-show="showDetails">
            <p>Number of patient discharges: {{procedure.discharges}}</p>
            <p>Average amount covered by Medicare: {{procedure.covered}}</p>
            <p>Average total payments: {{procedure.payments}}</p>
         </div>
    </li>
</ul>

Here's the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/asmKj/


You can also use ng-class to toggle a class:

<div class="procedure-details" ng-class="{ 'hidden': ! showDetails }">

I like this more, since it allows you to do some nice transitions: http://jsfiddle.net/asmKj/1/

        }
  1. Using jQuery eq Selector - SnoopCode

     $( "body" ).find( "onediv" ).eq(1).addClass( "red" );
    
  2. Using jQuery Id Selector - SnoopCode

       $(document).ready(function(){

Filling a List with all enum values in Java

Try this:

... = new ArrayList<Something>(EnumSet.allOf(Something.class));

as ArrayList has a constructor with Collection<? extends E>. But use this method only if you really want to use EnumSet.

All enums have access to the method values(). It returns an array of all enum values:

... = Arrays.asList(Something.values());

Construct a manual legend for a complicated plot

In case you were struggling to change linetypes, the following answer should be helpful. (This is an addition to the solution by Andy W.)

We will try to extend the learned pattern:

cols <- c("LINE1"="#f04546","LINE2"="#3591d1","BAR"="#62c76b")
line_types <- c("LINE1"=1,"LINE2"=3)
ggplot(data=data,aes(x=a)) + 
  geom_bar(stat="identity", aes(y=h,fill = "BAR"))+ #green
  geom_line(aes(y=b,group=1, colour="LINE1", linetype="LINE1"),size=0.5) +   #red
  geom_point(aes(y=b, colour="LINE1", fill="LINE1"),size=2) +           #red
  geom_line(aes(y=c,group=1,colour="LINE2", linetype="LINE2"),size=0.5) +   #blue 
  geom_point(aes(y=c,colour="LINE2", fill="LINE2"),size=2) +           #blue
  scale_colour_manual(name="Error Bars",values=cols, 
                  guide = guide_legend(override.aes=aes(fill=NA))) + 
  scale_linetype_manual(values=line_types)+
  scale_fill_manual(name="Bar",values=cols, guide="none") +
  ylab("Symptom severity") + xlab("PHQ-9 symptoms") +
  ylim(0,1.6) +
  theme_bw() +
  theme(axis.title.x = element_text(size = 15, vjust=-.2)) +
  theme(axis.title.y = element_text(size = 15, vjust=0.3))

However, what we get is the following result: manual without name

The problem is that the linetype is not merged in the main legend. Note that we did not give any name to the method scale_linetype_manual. The trick which works here is to give it the same name as what you used for naming scale_colour_manual. More specifically, if we change the corresponding line to the following we get the desired result:

scale_linetype_manual(name="Error Bars",values=line_types)

manual with the same name

Now, it is easy to change the size of the line with the same idea.

Note that the geom_bar has not colour property anymore. (I did not try to fix this issue.) Also, adding geom_errorbar with colour attribute spoils the result. It would be great if somebody can come up with a better solution which resolves these two issues as well.

what's data-reactid attribute in html?

The data-reactid attribute is a custom attribute used so that React can uniquely identify its components within the DOM.

This is important because React applications can be rendered at the server as well as the client. Internally React builds up a representation of references to the DOM nodes that make up your application (simplified version is below).

{
  id: '.1oqi7occu80',
  node: DivRef,
  children: [
    {
      id: '.1oqi7occu80.0',
      node: SpanRef,
      children: [
        {
          id: '.1oqi7occu80.0.0',
          node: InputRef,
          children: []
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

There's no way to share the actual object references between the server and the client and sending a serialized version of the entire component tree is potentially expensive. When the application is rendered at the server and React is loaded at the client, the only data it has are the data-reactid attributes.

<div data-reactid='.loqi70ccu80'>
  <span data-reactid='.loqi70ccu80.0'>
    <input data-reactid='.loqi70ccu80.0' />
  </span>
</div>

It needs to be able to convert that back into the data structure above. The way it does that is with the unique data-reactid attributes. This is called inflating the component tree.

You might also notice that if React renders at the client-side, it uses the data-reactid attribute, even though it doesn't need to lose its references. In some browsers, it inserts your application into the DOM using .innerHTML then it inflates the component tree straight away, as a performance boost.

The other interesting difference is that client-side rendered React ids will have an incremental integer format (like .0.1.4.3), whereas server-rendered ones will be prefixed with a random string (such as .loqi70ccu80.1.4.3). This is because the application might be rendered across multiple servers and it's important that there are no collisions. At the client-side, there is only one rendering process, which means counters can be used to ensure unique ids.

React 15 uses document.createElement instead, so client rendered markup won't include these attributes anymore.

How do I resize an image using PIL and maintain its aspect ratio?

Just updating this question with a more modern wrapper This library wraps Pillow (a fork of PIL) https://pypi.org/project/python-resize-image/

Allowing you to do something like this :-

from PIL import Image
from resizeimage import resizeimage

fd_img = open('test-image.jpeg', 'r')
img = Image.open(fd_img)
img = resizeimage.resize_width(img, 200)
img.save('test-image-width.jpeg', img.format)
fd_img.close()

How to represent the double quotes character (") in regex?

you need to use backslash before ". like \"

From the doc here you can see that

A character preceded by a backslash ( \ ) is an escape sequence and has special meaning to the compiler.

and " (double quote) is a escacpe sequence

When an escape sequence is encountered in a print statement, the compiler interprets it accordingly. For example, if you want to put quotes within quotes you must use the escape sequence, \", on the interior quotes. To print the sentence

She said "Hello!" to me.

you would write

System.out.println("She said \"Hello!\" to me.");

How to properly exit a C# application?

From MSDN:

Application.Exit

Informs all message pumps that they must terminate, and then closes all application windows after the messages have been processed. This is the code to use if you are have called Application.Run (WinForms applications), this method stops all running message loops on all threads and closes all windows of the application.

Environment.Exit

Terminates this process and gives the underlying operating system the specified exit code. This is the code to call when you are using console application.

This article, Application.Exit vs. Environment.Exit, points towards a good tip:

You can determine if System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run has been called by checking the System.Windows.Forms.Application.MessageLoop property. If true, then Run has been called and you can assume that a WinForms application is executing as follows.

if (System.Windows.Forms.Application.MessageLoop) 
{
    // WinForms app
    System.Windows.Forms.Application.Exit();
}
else
{
    // Console app
    System.Environment.Exit(1);
}

Reference: Why would Application.Exit fail to work?

How do I check whether input string contains any spaces?

You can use regex “\\s”

Example program to count number of spaces (Java 9 and above)

import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {

    Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("\\s", Pattern.CASE_INSENSITIVE);        
    Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher("stackoverflow is a good place to get all my answers");        

    long matchCount = matcher.results().count();   
 
    if(matchCount > 0) 
      System.out.println("Match found " + matchCount + " times.");           
    else 
      System.out.println("Match not found");        
  }
}

For Java 8 and below you can use matcher.find() in a while loop and increment the count. For example,

int count = 0;
while (matcher.find()) {
  count ++;
}

What do curly braces mean in Verilog?

The curly braces mean concatenation, from most significant bit (MSB) on the left down to the least significant bit (LSB) on the right. You are creating a 32-bit bus (result) whose 16 most significant bits consist of 16 copies of bit 15 (the MSB) of the a bus, and whose 16 least significant bits consist of just the a bus (this particular construction is known as sign extension, which is needed e.g. to right-shift a negative number in two's complement form and keep it negative rather than introduce zeros into the MSBits).

There is a tutorial here*, but it doesn't explain too much more than the above paragraph.

For what it's worth, the nested curly braces around a[15:0] are superfluous.

*Beware: the example within the tutorial link contains a typo when demonstrating multiple concatenations - the (2{C}} should be a {2{2}}.

How do you create a custom AuthorizeAttribute in ASP.NET Core?

The modern way is AuthenticationHandlers

in startup.cs add

services.AddAuthentication("BasicAuthentication").AddScheme<AuthenticationSchemeOptions, BasicAuthenticationHandler>("BasicAuthentication", null);

public class BasicAuthenticationHandler : AuthenticationHandler<AuthenticationSchemeOptions>
    {
        private readonly IUserService _userService;

        public BasicAuthenticationHandler(
            IOptionsMonitor<AuthenticationSchemeOptions> options,
            ILoggerFactory logger,
            UrlEncoder encoder,
            ISystemClock clock,
            IUserService userService)
            : base(options, logger, encoder, clock)
        {
            _userService = userService;
        }

        protected override async Task<AuthenticateResult> HandleAuthenticateAsync()
        {
            if (!Request.Headers.ContainsKey("Authorization"))
                return AuthenticateResult.Fail("Missing Authorization Header");

            User user = null;
            try
            {
                var authHeader = AuthenticationHeaderValue.Parse(Request.Headers["Authorization"]);
                var credentialBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(authHeader.Parameter);
                var credentials = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(credentialBytes).Split(new[] { ':' }, 2);
                var username = credentials[0];
                var password = credentials[1];
                user = await _userService.Authenticate(username, password);
            }
            catch
            {
                return AuthenticateResult.Fail("Invalid Authorization Header");
            }

            if (user == null)
                return AuthenticateResult.Fail("Invalid User-name or Password");

            var claims = new[] {
                new Claim(ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier, user.Id.ToString()),
                new Claim(ClaimTypes.Name, user.Username),
            };
            var identity = new ClaimsIdentity(claims, Scheme.Name);
            var principal = new ClaimsPrincipal(identity);
            var ticket = new AuthenticationTicket(principal, Scheme.Name);

            return AuthenticateResult.Success(ticket);
        }
    }

IUserService is a service that you make where you have user name and password. basically it returns a user class that you use to map your claims on.

var claims = new[] {
                new Claim(ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier, user.Id.ToString()),
                new Claim(ClaimTypes.Name, user.Username),
            }; 

Then you can query these claims and her any data you mapped, ther are quite a few, have a look at ClaimTypes class

you can use this in an extension method an get any of the mappings

public int? GetUserId()
{
   if (context.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
    {
       var id=context.User.FindFirst(ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier);
       if (!(id is null) && int.TryParse(id.Value, out var userId))
            return userId;
     }
      return new Nullable<int>();
 }

This new way, i think is better than the old way as shown here, both work

public class BasicAuthenticationAttribute : AuthorizationFilterAttribute
{
    public override void OnAuthorization(HttpActionContext actionContext)
    {
        if (actionContext.Request.Headers.Authorization != null)
        {
            var authToken = actionContext.Request.Headers.Authorization.Parameter;
            // decoding authToken we get decode value in 'Username:Password' format
            var decodeauthToken = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(Convert.FromBase64String(authToken));
            // spliting decodeauthToken using ':'
            var arrUserNameandPassword = decodeauthToken.Split(':');
            // at 0th postion of array we get username and at 1st we get password
            if (IsAuthorizedUser(arrUserNameandPassword[0], arrUserNameandPassword[1]))
            {

Grouped bar plot in ggplot

First you need to get the counts for each category, i.e. how many Bads and Goods and so on are there for each group (Food, Music, People). This would be done like so:

raw <- read.csv("http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=L8cEKcxS",sep=",")
raw[,2]<-factor(raw[,2],levels=c("Very Bad","Bad","Good","Very Good"),ordered=FALSE)
raw[,3]<-factor(raw[,3],levels=c("Very Bad","Bad","Good","Very Good"),ordered=FALSE)
raw[,4]<-factor(raw[,4],levels=c("Very Bad","Bad","Good","Very Good"),ordered=FALSE)

raw=raw[,c(2,3,4)] # getting rid of the "people" variable as I see no use for it

freq=table(col(raw), as.matrix(raw)) # get the counts of each factor level

Then you need to create a data frame out of it, melt it and plot it:

Names=c("Food","Music","People")     # create list of names
data=data.frame(cbind(freq),Names)   # combine them into a data frame
data=data[,c(5,3,1,2,4)]             # sort columns

# melt the data frame for plotting
data.m <- melt(data, id.vars='Names')

# plot everything
ggplot(data.m, aes(Names, value)) +   
  geom_bar(aes(fill = variable), position = "dodge", stat="identity")

Is this what you're after?

enter image description here

To clarify a little bit, in ggplot multiple grouping bar you had a data frame that looked like this:

> head(df)
  ID Type Annee X1PCE X2PCE X3PCE X4PCE X5PCE X6PCE
1  1    A  1980   450   338   154    36    13     9
2  2    A  2000   288   407   212    54    16    23
3  3    A  2020   196   434   246    68    19    36
4  4    B  1980   111   326   441    90    21    11
5  5    B  2000    63   298   443   133    42    21
6  6    B  2020    36   257   462   162    55    30

Since you have numerical values in columns 4-9, which would later be plotted on the y axis, this can be easily transformed with reshape and plotted.

For our current data set, we needed something similar, so we used freq=table(col(raw), as.matrix(raw)) to get this:

> data
   Names Very.Bad Bad Good Very.Good
1   Food        7   6    5         2
2  Music        5   5    7         3
3 People        6   3    7         4

Just imagine you have Very.Bad, Bad, Good and so on instead of X1PCE, X2PCE, X3PCE. See the similarity? But we needed to create such structure first. Hence the freq=table(col(raw), as.matrix(raw)).

What is ADT? (Abstract Data Type)

Abstract data type are like user defined data type on which we can perform functions without knowing what is there inside the datatype and how the operations are performed on them . As the information is not exposed its abstracted. eg. List,Array, Stack, Queue. On Stack we can perform functions like Push, Pop but we are not sure how its being implemented behind the curtains.

Converting Swagger specification JSON to HTML documentation

For Swagger API 3.0, generating Html2 client code from online Swagger Editor works great for me!

Set TextView text from html-formatted string resource in XML

Latest update:

Html.fromHtml(string);//deprecated after Android N versions..

Following code give support to android N and above versions...

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.N) {
textView.setText(Html.fromHtml(yourHtmlString,Html.FROM_HTML_MODE_LEGACY));
}

else 
{
textView.setText(Html.fromHtml(yourHtmlString));
}

How can I force input to uppercase in an ASP.NET textbox?

Okay, after testing, here is a better, cleaner solution.

$('#FirstName').bind('keyup', function () {

    // Get the current value of the contents within the text box
    var val = $('#FirstName').val().toUpperCase();

    // Reset the current value to the Upper Case Value
    $('#FirstName').val(val);

});

How to save the contents of a div as a image?

Do something like this:

A <div> with ID of #imageDIV, another one with ID #download and a hidden <div> with ID #previewImage.

Include the latest version of jquery, and jspdf.debug.js from the jspdf CDN

Then add this script:

var element = $("#imageDIV"); // global variable
var getCanvas; // global variable
$('document').ready(function(){
  html2canvas(element, {
    onrendered: function (canvas) {
      $("#previewImage").append(canvas);
      getCanvas = canvas;
    }
  });
});
$("#download").on('click', function () {
  var imgageData = getCanvas.toDataURL("image/png");
  // Now browser starts downloading it instead of just showing it
  var newData = imageData.replace(/^data:image\/png/, "data:application/octet-stream");
  $("#download").attr("download", "image.png").attr("href", newData);
});

The div will be saved as a PNG on clicking the #download

Compare data of two Excel Columns A & B, and show data of Column A that do not exist in B

All values of column A that are not present in column B will have a red background. Hope that it helps as starting point.

Sub highlight_missings()
Dim i As Long, lastA As Long, lastB As Long
Dim compare As Variant
Range("A:A").ClearFormats
lastA = Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row
lastB = Range("B65536").End(xlUp).Row

For i = 2 To lastA
    compare = Application.Match(Range("a" & i), Range("B2:B" & lastB), 0)
        If IsError(compare) Then
            Range("A" & i).Interior.ColorIndex = 3
        End If
Next i
End Sub

How can I list all commits that changed a specific file?

If you are trying to --follow a file deleted in a previous commit use

git log --follow -- filename

Most concise way to convert a Set<T> to a List<T>

List<String> l = new ArrayList<String>(listOfTopicAuthors);

Warning: "continue" targeting switch is equivalent to "break". Did you mean to use "continue 2"?

Maybe your composer is outdated. Below are the steps to get rid of the error.

Note: For Windows professionals, Only Step2 and Step3 is needed and done.


Step1

Remove the composer:

sudo apt-get remove composer

Step2

Download the composer:

php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"

Step3

Run composer-setup.php file

php composer-setup.php

Step4

Finally move the composer:

sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer  


Your composer should be updated now. To check it run command:

composer

You can remove the downloaded composer by php command

php -r "unlink('composer-setup.php');"

Best way to check if a URL is valid

if anyone is interested to use the cURL for validation. You can use the following code.

<?php 
public function validationUrl($Url){
        if ($Url == NULL){
            return $false;
        }
        $ch = curl_init($Url);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 5);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 5);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
        $data = curl_exec($ch);
        $httpcode = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
        curl_close($ch);
        return ($httpcode >= 200 && $httpcode < 300) ? true : false; 
    }

Asp.Net WebApi2 Enable CORS not working with AspNet.WebApi.Cors 5.2.3

I just added custom headers to the Web.config and it worked like a charm.

On configuration - system.webServer:

<httpProtocol>
  <customHeaders>
    <add name="Access-Control-Allow-Origin" value="*" />
    <add name="Access-Control-Allow-Headers" value="Content-Type" />
  </customHeaders>
</httpProtocol>

I have the front end app and the backend on the same solution. For this to work, I need to set the web services project (Backend) as the default for this to work.

I was using ReST, haven't tried with anything else.

Is there a way to automatically build the package.json file for Node.js projects

Running npm init -y makes your package.json with all the defaults.
You can then change package.json accordingly
This saves time many a times by preventing pressing enter on every command in npm init

Running multiple commands in one line in shell

You are using | (pipe) to direct the output of a command into another command. What you are looking for is && operator to execute the next command only if the previous one succeeded:

cp /templates/apple /templates/used && cp /templates/apple /templates/inuse && rm /templates/apple

Or

cp /templates/apple /templates/used && mv /templates/apple /templates/inuse

To summarize (non-exhaustively) bash's command operators/separators:

  • | pipes (pipelines) the standard output (stdout) of one command into the standard input of another one. Note that stderr still goes into its default destination, whatever that happen to be.
  • |&pipes both stdout and stderr of one command into the standard input of another one. Very useful, available in bash version 4 and above.
  • && executes the right-hand command of && only if the previous one succeeded.
  • || executes the right-hand command of || only it the previous one failed.
  • ; executes the right-hand command of ; always regardless whether the previous command succeeded or failed. Unless set -e was previously invoked, which causes bash to fail on an error.

How to upload folders on GitHub

This is Web GUI of a GitHub repository:

enter image description here

Drag and drop your folder to the above area. When you upload too much folder/files, GitHub will notice you:

Yowza, that’s a lot of files. Try again with fewer than 100 files.

enter image description here

and add commit message

enter image description here

And press button Commit changes is the last step.

C++ - unable to start correctly (0xc0150002)

I faced this issue, when I was supplying the executable folder with a, by the .exe requested DLL. In my case, the DLL I supplied to the .exe was searching for another necessary DLL which was not available. The searching DLL was not capable of telling that it can not find the necessary DLL.

You might check the DLLs you're loading and the dependencies of these DLL's.

Internet Explorer 11- issue with security certificate error prompt

This behavior is related to Zone that is set - Internet/Intranet/etc and corresponding Security Level

You can change this by setting less secure Security Level (not recommended) or by customizing Display Mixed Content property

You can do that by following steps:

  1. Click on Gear icon at the top of the browser window.
  2. Select Internet Options.
  3. Select the Security tab at the top.
  4. Click the Custom Level... button.
  5. Scroll about halfway down to the Miscellaneous heading (denoted by a "blank page" icon).
  6. Under this heading is the option Display Mixed Content; set this to Enable/Prompt.
  7. Click OK, then Yes when prompted to confirm the change, then OK to close the Options window.
  8. Close and restart the browser.

How to get distinct values for non-key column fields in Laravel?

Grouping by will not work if the database rules don't allow any of the select fields to be outside of an aggregate function. Instead use the laravel collections.

$users = DB::table('users')
        ->select('id','name', 'email')
        ->get();

foreach($users->unique('name') as $user){
  //....
}

Someone pointed out that this may not be great on performance for large collections. I would recommend adding a key to the collection. The method to use is called keyBy. This is the simple method.

     $users = DB::table('users')
        ->select('id','name', 'email')
        ->get()
        ->keyBy('name');

The keyBy also allows you to add a call back function for more complex things...

     $users = DB::table('users')
        ->select('id','name', 'email')
        ->get()
        ->keyBy(function($user){
              return $user->name . '-' . $user->id;
         });

If you have to iterate over large collections, adding a key to it solve the performance issue.

Row count where data exists

If you need VBA, you could do something quick like this:

Sub Test()
    With ActiveSheet
    lastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
    MsgBox lastRow
    End With
End Sub

This will print the number of the last row with data in it. Obviously don't need MsgBox in there if you're using it for some other purpose, but lastRow will become that value nonetheless.

Using multiple .cpp files in c++ program?

You must use a tool called a "header". In a header you declare the function that you want to use. Then you include it in both files. A header is a separate file included using the #include directive. Then you may call the other function.

other.h

void MyFunc();

main.cpp

#include "other.h"
int main() {
    MyFunc();
}

other.cpp

#include "other.h"
#include <iostream>
void MyFunc() {
    std::cout << "Ohai from another .cpp file!";
    std::cin.get();
}

How do I use a file grep comparison inside a bash if/else statement?

Note that, for PIPE being any command or sequence of commands, then:

if PIPE ; then
  # do one thing if PIPE returned with zero status ($?=0)
else 
  # do another thing if PIPE returned with non-zero status ($?!=0), e.g. error
fi 

For the record, [ expr ] is a shell builtin shorthand for test expr.

Since grep returns with status 0 in case of a match, and non-zero status in case of no matches, you can use:

if grep -lq '^MYSQL_ROLE=master' ; then 
  # do one thing 
else 
  # do another thing
fi 

Note the use of -l which only cares about the file having at least one match (so that grep returns as soon as it finds one match, without needlessly continuing to parse the input file.)

on some platforms [ expr ] is not a builtin, but an actual executable /bin/[ (whose last argument will be ]), which is why [ expr ] should contain blanks around the square brackets, and why it must be followed by one of the command list separators (;, &&, ||, |, &, newline)

How to get full path of a file?

View content of H2 or HSQLDB in-memory database

In H2, what works for me is:

I code, starting the server like:

server = Server.createTcpServer().start();

That starts the server on localhost port 9092.

Then, in code, establish a DB connection on the following JDBC URL:

jdbc:h2:tcp://localhost:9092/mem:test;DB_CLOSE_DELAY=-1;MODE=MySQL

While debugging, as a client to inspect the DB I use the one provided by H2, which is good enough, to launch it you just need to launch the following java main separately

org.h2.tools.Console

This will start a web server with an app on 8082, launch a browser on localhost:8082

And then you can enter the previous URL to see the DB

Add column with number of days between dates in DataFrame pandas

To remove the 'days' text element, you can also make use of the dt() accessor for series: https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/generated/pandas.Series.dt.html

So,

df[['A','B']] = df[['A','B']].apply(pd.to_datetime) #if conversion required
df['C'] = (df['B'] - df['A']).dt.days

which returns:

             A          B   C
one 2014-01-01 2014-02-28  58
two 2014-02-03 2014-03-01  26

Import and Export Excel - What is the best library?

We have just identified a similar need. And I think it's important to consider the user experience.

We nearly got sidetracked along the same:

  1. Prepare/work in spreadsheet file
  2. Save file
  3. Import file
  4. Work with data in system

... workflow

Add-in Express allows you to create a button within Excel without all that tedious mucking about with VSTO. Then the workflow becomes:

  1. Prepare/work in spreadsheet file
  2. Import file (using button inside Excel)
  3. Work with data in system

Have the code behind the button use the "native" Excel API (via Add-in Express) and push direct into the recipient system. You can't get much more transparent for the developer or the user. Worth considering.

PHP - check if variable is undefined

Jquery get form field value

It can be much simpler than what you are doing.

HTML:

JavaScript:

// getting the value
var email = $("#myField").val();

// setting the value
$("#myField").val( "new value here" );

How to edit default.aspx on SharePoint site without SharePoint Designer

I was able to accomplish editing the default.aspx page by:

  • Opening the site in SharePoint Designer 2013
  • Then clicking 'All Files' to view all of the files,
  • Then right-click -> Edit file in Advanced Mode.

By doing that I was able to remove the tagprefix causing a problem on my page.

Structs in Javascript

The real problem is that structures in a language are supposed to be value types not reference types. The proposed answers suggest using objects (which are reference types) in place of structures. While this can serve its purpose, it sidesteps the point that a programmer would actual want the benefits of using value types (like a primitive) in lieu of reference type. Value types, for one, shouldn't cause memory leaks.

Set focus and cursor to end of text input field / string w. Jquery

You can do this using Input.setSelectionRange, part of the Range API for interacting with text selections and the text cursor:

var searchInput = $('#Search');

// Multiply by 2 to ensure the cursor always ends up at the end;
// Opera sometimes sees a carriage return as 2 characters.
var strLength = searchInput.val().length * 2;

searchInput.focus();
searchInput[0].setSelectionRange(strLength, strLength);

Demo: Fiddle

Dynamically replace img src attribute with jQuery

In my case, I replaced the src taq using:

_x000D_
_x000D_

CMake link to external library

I assume you want to link to a library called foo, its filename is usually something link foo.dll or libfoo.so.

1. Find the library
You have to find the library. This is a good idea, even if you know the path to your library. CMake will error out if the library vanished or got a new name. This helps to spot error early and to make it clear to the user (may yourself) what causes a problem.
To find a library foo and store the path in FOO_LIB use

    find_library(FOO_LIB foo)

CMake will figure out itself how the actual file name is. It checks the usual places like /usr/lib, /usr/lib64 and the paths in PATH.

You already know the location of your library. Add it to the CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH when you call CMake, then CMake will look for your library in the passed paths, too.

Sometimes you need to add hints or path suffixes, see the documentation for details: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/find_library.html

2. Link the library From 1. you have the full library name in FOO_LIB. You use this to link the library to your target GLBall as in

  target_link_libraries(GLBall PRIVATE "${FOO_LIB}")

You should add PRIVATE, PUBLIC, or INTERFACE after the target, cf. the documentation: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/target_link_libraries.html

If you don't add one of these visibility specifiers, it will either behave like PRIVATE or PUBLIC, depending on the CMake version and the policies set.

3. Add includes (This step might be not mandatory.)
If you also want to include header files, use find_path similar to find_library and search for a header file. Then add the include directory with target_include_directories similar to target_link_libraries.

Documentation: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/find_path.html and https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/target_include_directories.html

If available for the external software, you can replace find_library and find_path by find_package.

How to create a Custom Dialog box in android?

Another easy way to do this.

step 1) create a layout with proper id's.

step 2) use the following code wherever you desire.

LayoutInflater factory = LayoutInflater.from(this);
final View deleteDialogView = factory.inflate(R.layout.mylayout, null);
final AlertDialog deleteDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(this).create();
deleteDialog.setView(deleteDialogView);
deleteDialogView.findViewById(R.id.yes).setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {    
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        //your business logic 
        deleteDialog.dismiss();
    }
});
deleteDialogView.findViewById(R.id.no).setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {    
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        deleteDialog.dismiss();    
    }
});

deleteDialog.show();

JavaScript for...in vs for

I'd use the different methods based on how I wanted to reference the items.

Use foreach if you just want the current item.

Use for if you need an indexer to do relative comparisons. (I.e. how does this compare to the previous/next item?)

I have never noticed a performance difference. I'd wait until having a performance issue before worrying about it.

File upload from <input type="file">

Try this small lib, works with Angular 5.0.0

Quickstart example with ng2-file-upload 1.3.0:

User clicks custom button, which triggers upload dialog from hidden input type="file" , uploading started automatically after selecting single file.

app.module.ts:

import {FileUploadModule} from "ng2-file-upload";

your.component.html:

...
  <button mat-button onclick="document.getElementById('myFileInputField').click()" >
    Select and upload file
  </button>
  <input type="file" id="myFileInputField" ng2FileSelect [uploader]="uploader" style="display:none">
...

your.component.ts:

import {FileUploader} from 'ng2-file-upload';
...    
uploader: FileUploader;
...
constructor() {
   this.uploader = new FileUploader({url: "/your-api/some-endpoint"});
   this.uploader.onErrorItem = item => {
       console.error("Failed to upload");
       this.clearUploadField();
   };
   this.uploader.onCompleteItem = (item, response) => {
       console.info("Successfully uploaded");
       this.clearUploadField();

       // (Optional) Parsing of response
       let responseObject = JSON.parse(response) as MyCustomClass;

   };

   // Asks uploader to start upload file automatically after selecting file
  this.uploader.onAfterAddingFile = fileItem => this.uploader.uploadAll();
}

private clearUploadField(): void {
    (<HTMLInputElement>window.document.getElementById('myFileInputField'))
    .value = "";
}

Alternative lib, works in Angular 4.2.4, but requires some workarounds to adopt to Angular 5.0.0

MongoDB: Combine data from multiple collections into one..how?

Starting Mongo 4.4, we can achieve this join within an aggregation pipeline by coupling the new $unionWith aggregation stage with $group's new $accumulator operator:

// > db.users.find()
//   [{ user: 1, name: "x" }, { user: 2, name: "y" }]
// > db.books.find()
//   [{ user: 1, book: "a" }, { user: 1, book: "b" }, { user: 2, book: "c" }]
// > db.movies.find()
//   [{ user: 1, movie: "g" }, { user: 2, movie: "h" }, { user: 2, movie: "i" }]
db.users.aggregate([
  { $unionWith: "books"  },
  { $unionWith: "movies" },
  { $group: {
    _id: "$user",
    user: {
      $accumulator: {
        accumulateArgs: ["$name", "$book", "$movie"],
        init: function() { return { books: [], movies: [] } },
        accumulate: function(user, name, book, movie) {
          if (name) user.name = name;
          if (book) user.books.push(book);
          if (movie) user.movies.push(movie);
          return user;
        },
        merge: function(userV1, userV2) {
          if (userV2.name) userV1.name = userV2.name;
          userV1.books.concat(userV2.books);
          userV1.movies.concat(userV2.movies);
          return userV1;

// { _id: 1, user: { books: ["a", "b"], movies: ["g"], name: "x" } }
// { _id: 2, user: { books: ["c"], movies: ["h", "i"], name: "y" } }
  • $unionWith combines records from the given collection within documents already in the aggregation pipeline. After the 2 union stages, we thus have all users, books and movies records within the pipeline.

  • We then $group records by $user and accumulate items using the $accumulator operator allowing custom accumulations of documents as they get grouped:

    • the fields we're interested in accumulating are defined with accumulateArgs.
    • init defines the state that will be accumulated as we group elements.
    • the accumulate function allows performing a custom action with a record being grouped in order to build the accumulated state. For instance, if the item being grouped has the book field defined, then we update the books part of the state.
    • merge is used to merge two internal states. It's only used for aggregations running on sharded clusters or when the operation exceeds memory limits.

How to count down in for loop?

In python, when you have an iterable, usually you iterate without an index:

letters = 'abcdef' # or a list, tupple or other iterable
for l in letters:
    print(l)

If you need to traverse the iterable in reverse order, you would do:

for l in letters[::-1]:
    print(l)

When for any reason you need the index, you can use enumerate:

for i, l in enumerate(letters, start=1): #start is 0 by default
    print(i,l)

You can enumerate in reverse order too...

for i, l in enumerate(letters[::-1])
    print(i,l)

ON ANOTHER NOTE...

Usually when we traverse an iterable we do it to apply the same procedure or function to each element. In these cases, it is better to use map:

If we need to capitilize each letter:

map(str.upper, letters)

Or get the Unicode code of each letter:

map(ord, letters)

How to programmatically add controls to a form in VB.NET

To add controls dynamically to the form, do the following code. Here we are creating textbox controls to add dynamically.

Public Class Form1
    Private m_TextBoxes() As TextBox = {}

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
                              ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
                              Handles Button1.Click

        ' Get the index for the new control.
        Dim i As Integer = m_TextBoxes.Length

        ' Make room.
        ReDim Preserve m_TextBoxes(i)

        ' Create and initialize the control.
        m_TextBoxes(i) = New TextBox
        With m_TextBoxes(i)
            .Name = "TextBox" & i.ToString()
            If m_TextBoxes.Length < 2 Then
                ' Position the first one.
                .SetBounds(8, 8, 100, 20)
            Else
                ' Position subsequent controls.
                .Left = m_TextBoxes(i - 1).Left
                .Top = m_TextBoxes(i - 1).Top + m_TextBoxes(i - _
                    1).Height + 4
                .Size = m_TextBoxes(i - 1).Size
            End If

            ' Save the control's index in the Tag property.
            ' (Or you can get this from the Name.)
            .Tag = i
        End With

        ' Give the control an event handler.
        AddHandler m_TextBoxes(i).TextChanged, AddressOf TextBox_TextChanged

        ' Add the control to the form.
        Me.Controls.Add(m_TextBoxes(i))
    End Sub

    'When you enter text in one of the TextBoxes, the TextBox_TextChanged event
    'handler displays the control's name and its current text.
    Private Sub TextBox_TextChanged(ByVal sender As  _
    System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
        ' Display the current text.
        Dim txt As TextBox = DirectCast(sender, TextBox)
        Debug.WriteLine(txt.Name & ": [" & txt.Text & "]")
    End Sub
End Class

How to redirect the output of the time command to a file in Linux?

How to print a int64_t type in C

With C99 the %j length modifier can also be used with the printf family of functions to print values of type int64_t and uint64_t:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    int64_t  a = 1LL << 63;
    uint64_t b = 1ULL << 63;

    printf("a=%jd (0x%jx)\n", a, a);
    printf("b=%ju (0x%jx)\n", b, b);

    return 0;
}

Compiling this code with gcc -Wall -pedantic -std=c99 produces no warnings, and the program prints the expected output:

a=-9223372036854775808 (0x8000000000000000)
b=9223372036854775808 (0x8000000000000000)

This is according to printf(3) on my Linux system (the man page specifically says that j is used to indicate a conversion to an intmax_t or uintmax_t; in my stdint.h, both int64_t and intmax_t are typedef'd in exactly the same way, and similarly for uint64_t). I'm not sure if this is perfectly portable to other systems.

How to define unidirectional OneToMany relationship in JPA

My bible for JPA work is the Java Persistence wikibook. It has a section on unidirectional OneToMany which explains how to do this with a @JoinColumn annotation. In your case, i think you would want:

@OneToMany
@JoinColumn(name="TXTHEAD_CODE")
private Set<Text> text;

I've used a Set rather than a List, because the data itself is not ordered.

The above is using a defaulted referencedColumnName, unlike the example in the wikibook. If that doesn't work, try an explicit one:

@OneToMany
@JoinColumn(name="TXTHEAD_CODE", referencedColumnName="DATREG_META_CODE")
private Set<Text> text;

What is the difference between char s[] and char *s?

Just to add: you also get different values for their sizes.

printf("sizeof s[] = %zu\n", sizeof(s));  //6
printf("sizeof *s  = %zu\n", sizeof(s));  //4 or 8

As mentioned above, for an array '\0' will be allocated as the final element.

How to parse json string in Android?

Below is the link which guide in parsing JSON string in android.

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-andbene1/?S_TACT=105AGY82&S_CMP=MAVE

Also according to your json string code snippet must be something like this:-

JSONObject mainObject = new JSONObject(yourstring);

JSONObject universityObject = mainObject.getJSONObject("university");
JSONString name = universityObject.getString("name");  
JSONString url = universityObject.getString("url");

Following is the API reference for JSOnObject: https://developer.android.com/reference/org/json/JSONObject.html#getString(java.lang.String)

Same for other object.

Handling a timeout error in python sockets

from foo import * 

adds all the names without leading underscores (or only the names defined in the modules __all__ attribute) in foo into your current module.

In the above code with from socket import * you just want to catch timeout as you've pulled timeout into your current namespace.

from socket import * pulls in the definitions of everything inside of socket but doesn't add socket itself.

try:
    # socketstuff
except timeout:
    print 'caught a timeout'

Many people consider import * problematic and try to avoid it. This is because common variable names in 2 or more modules that are imported in this way will clobber one another.

For example, consider the following three python files:

# a.py
def foo():
    print "this is a's foo function"

# b.py
def foo():
    print "this is b's foo function"

# yourcode.py
from a import *
from b import *
foo()

If you run yourcode.py you'll see just the output "this is b's foo function".

For this reason I'd suggest either importing the module and using it or importing specific names from the module:

For example, your code would look like this with explicit imports:

import socket
from socket import AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM

def main():
    client_socket = socket.socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM)
    client_socket.settimeout(1)
    server_host = 'localhost'
    server_port = 1234
    while(True):
        client_socket.sendto('Message', (server_host, server_port))
        try:
            reply, server_address_info = client_socket.recvfrom(1024)
            print reply
        except socket.timeout:
            #more code

Just a tiny bit more typing but everything's explicit and it's pretty obvious to the reader where everything comes from.

Where to find Java JDK Source Code?

Sadly, as of this writing, DESPITE their own documentation readme, there is no src.zip in the JDK 7 or 8 install directories when you download the Windows version.

Note: perhaps this happens because many of us don't actually run the install .exe, but instead extract it. Many of us don't run the Java install (the full blown windows install) for security reasons....we just want the JDK put someplace out of the way where potential viruses cannot find it.

But their policy regarding the windows .exe (whatever it truly is) is indeed nuts, HOWEVER, the src.zip DOES exist in the linux install (a .tar.gz). There are multiple ways of extracting a .tar and a .gz, and I prefer the free "7Zip" utility.

  1. download the Linux 64 bit .tar.gz
  2. use 7zip to uncompress the .tar.gz to a .tar
  3. use 7zip to extract the .tar to the installation directory
  4. src.zip will be waiting for you in that installation directory.
  5. pull it out and place it where you like.

Oracle, this is really beyond stupid.

javax.crypto.IllegalBlockSizeException : Input length must be multiple of 16 when decrypting with padded cipher

The algorithm you are using, "AES", is a shorthand for "AES/ECB/NoPadding". What this means is that you are using the AES algorithm with 128-bit key size and block size, with the ECB mode of operation and no padding.

In other words: you are only able to encrypt data in blocks of 128 bits or 16 bytes. That's why you are getting that IllegalBlockSizeException exception.

If you want to encrypt data in sizes that are not multiple of 16 bytes, you are either going to have to use some kind of padding, or a cipher-stream. For instance, you could use CBC mode (a mode of operation that effectively transforms a block cipher into a stream cipher) by specifying "AES/CBC/NoPadding" as the algorithm, or PKCS5 padding by specifying "AES/ECB/PKCS5", which will automatically add some bytes at the end of your data in a very specific format to make the size of the ciphertext multiple of 16 bytes, and in a way that the decryption algorithm will understand that it has to ignore some data.

In any case, I strongly suggest that you stop right now what you are doing and go study some very introductory material on cryptography. For instance, check Crypto I on Coursera. You should understand very well the implications of choosing one mode or another, what are their strengths and, most importantly, their weaknesses. Without this knowledge, it is very easy to build systems which are very easy to break.


Update: based on your comments on the question, don't ever encrypt passwords when storing them at a database!!!!! You should never, ever do this. You must HASH the passwords, properly salted, which is completely different from encrypting. Really, please, don't do what you are trying to do... By encrypting the passwords, they can be decrypted. What this means is that you, as the database manager and who knows the secret key, you will be able to read every password stored in your database. Either you knew this and are doing something very, very bad, or you didn't know this, and should get shocked and stop it.

How to bind to a PasswordBox in MVVM

As you can see i am binding to Password, but maybe its bind it to the static class..

It is an attached property. This kind of property can be applied to any kind of DependencyObject, not just the type in which it is declared. So even though it is declared in the PasswordHelper static class, it is applied to the PasswordBox on which you use it.

To use this attached property, you just need to bind it to the Password property in your ViewModel :

<PasswordBox w:PasswordHelper.Attach="True" 
         w:PasswordHelper.Password="{Binding Password}"/>

Bootstrap 3: Keep selected tab on page refresh

Since I cannot comment yet I copied the answer from above, it really helped me out. But I changed it to work with cookies instead of #id so I wanted to share the alterations. This makes it possible to store the active tab longer than just one refresh (e.g. multiple redirect) or when the id is already used and you don't want to implement koppors split method.

<ul class="nav nav-tabs" id="myTab">
    <li class="active"><a href="#home">Home</a></li>
    <li><a href="#profile">Profile</a></li>
    <li><a href="#messages">Messages</a></li>
    <li><a href="#settings">Settings</a></li>
</ul>

<div class="tab-content">
    <div class="tab-pane active" id="home">home</div>
    <div class="tab-pane" id="profile">profile</div>
    <div class="tab-pane" id="messages">messages</div>
    <div class="tab-pane" id="settings">settings</div>
</div>

<script>
$('#myTab a').click(function (e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    $(this).tab('show');
});

// store the currently selected tab in the hash value
$("ul.nav-tabs > li > a").on("shown.bs.tab", function (e) {
    var id = $(e.target).attr("href").substr(1);
    $.cookie('activeTab', id);
});

    // on load of the page: switch to the currently selected tab
    var hash = $.cookie('activeTab');
    if (hash != null) {
        $('#myTab a[href="#' + hash + '"]').tab('show');
    }

Merge two dataframes by index

This answer has been resolved for a while and all the available options are already out there. However in this answer I'll attempt to shed a bit more light on these options to help you understand when to use what.

This post will go through the following topics:

  • Merging with index under different conditions
    • options for index-based joins: merge, join, concat
    • merging on indexes
    • merging on index of one, column of other
  • effectively using named indexes to simplify merging syntax


Index-based joins

TL;DR

There are a few options, some simpler than others depending on the use case.

  1. DataFrame.merge with left_index and right_index (or left_on and right_on using named indexes)
  2. DataFrame.join (joins on index)
  3. pd.concat (joins on index)
PROS CONS
merge

• supports inner/left/right/full
• supports column-column, index-column, index-index joins

• can only join two frames at a time

join

• supports inner/left (default)/right/full
• can join multiple DataFrames at a time

• only supports index-index joins

concat

• specializes in joining multiple DataFrames at a time
• very fast (concatenation is linear time)

• only supports inner/full (default) joins
• only supports index-index joins


Index to index joins

Typically, an inner join on index would look like this:

left.merge(right, left_index=True, right_index=True)

Other types of joins (left, right, outer) follow similar syntax (and can be controlled using how=...).

Notable Alternatives

  1. DataFrame.join defaults to a left outer join on the index.

     left.join(right, how='inner',)
    

    If you happen to get ValueError: columns overlap but no suffix specified, you will need to specify lsuffix and rsuffix= arguments to resolve this. Since the column names are same, a differentiating suffix is required.

  2. pd.concat joins on the index and can join two or more DataFrames at once. It does a full outer join by default.

     pd.concat([left, right], axis=1, sort=False)
    

    For more information on concat, see this post.


Index to Column joins

To perform an inner join using index of left, column of right, you will use DataFrame.merge a combination of left_index=True and right_on=....

left.merge(right, left_index=True, right_on='key')

Other joins follow a similar structure. Note that only merge can perform index to column joins. You can join on multiple levels/columns, provided the number of index levels on the left equals the number of columns on the right.

join and concat are not capable of mixed merges. You will need to set the index as a pre-step using DataFrame.set_index.


This post is an abridged version of my work in Pandas Merging 101. Please follow this link for more examples and other topics on merging.

Using ExcelDataReader to read Excel data starting from a particular cell

Very easy with ExcelReaderFactory 3.1 and up:

using (var openFileDialog1 = new OpenFileDialog { Filter = "Excel Workbook|*.xls;*.xlsx;*.xlsm", ValidateNames = true })
{
    if (openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
    {
        var fs = File.Open(openFileDialog1.FileName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
        var reader = ExcelReaderFactory.CreateBinaryReader(fs);
        var dataSet = reader.AsDataSet(new ExcelDataSetConfiguration
        {
            ConfigureDataTable = _ => new ExcelDataTableConfiguration
            {
                UseHeaderRow = true // Use first row is ColumnName here :D
            }
        });
        if (dataSet.Tables.Count > 0)
        {
            var dtData = dataSet.Tables[0];
            // Do Something
        }
    }
}

Finding the next available id in MySQL

In addition to Lukasz Lysik's answer - LEFT-JOIN kind of SQL.
As I understand, if have id's: 1,2,4,5 it should return 3.

SELECT u.Id + 1 AS FirstAvailableId
FROM users u
LEFT JOIN users u1 ON u1.Id = u.Id + 1
WHERE u1.Id IS NULL
ORDER BY u.Id
LIMIT 0, 1

Hope it will help some of visitors, although post are rather old.

Multiple Order By with LINQ

You can use the ThenBy and ThenByDescending extension methods:

How to create a showdown.js markdown extension

In your last block you have a comma after 'lang', followed immediately with a function. This is not valid json.

EDIT

It appears that the readme was incorrect. I had to to pass an array with the string 'twitter'.

var converter = new Showdown.converter({extensions: ['twitter']}); converter.makeHtml('whatever @meandave2020'); // output "<p>whatever <a href="http://twitter.com/meandave2020">@meandave2020</a></p>"

How to scroll UITableView to specific position

Use [tableView scrollToRowAtIndexPath:indexPath atScrollPosition:scrollPosition animated:YES]; Scrolls the receiver until a row identified by index path is at a particular location on the screen.

And

scrollToNearestSelectedRowAtScrollPosition:animated:

Scrolls the table view so that the selected row nearest to a specified position in the table view is at that position.

Measuring code execution time

You can use this Stopwatch wrapper:

public class Benchmark : IDisposable 
{
    private readonly Stopwatch timer = new Stopwatch();
    private readonly string benchmarkName;

    public Benchmark(string benchmarkName)
    {
        this.benchmarkName = benchmarkName;
        timer.Start();
    }

    public void Dispose() 
    {
        timer.Stop();
        Console.WriteLine($"{benchmarkName} {timer.Elapsed}");
    }
}

Usage:

using (var bench = new Benchmark($"Insert {n} records:"))
{
    ... your code here
}

Output:

Insert 10 records: 00:00:00.0617594

For advanced scenarios, you can use BenchmarkDotNet or Benchmark.It or NBench

Get number of digits with JavaScript

The length property returns the length of a string (number of characters).

The length of an empty string is 0.

var str = "Hello World!";
var n = str.length;

The result of n will be: 12

    var str = "";
    var n = str.length;

The result of n will be: 0


Array length Property:


The length property sets or returns the number of elements in an array.

var fruits = ["Banana", "Orange", "Apple", "Mango"];
fruits.length;

The result will be: 4

Syntax:

Return the length of an array:

array.length

Set the length of an array:

array.length=number

Connect Device to Mac localhost Server?

I had the same problem. I turned off my WI-FI on my Mac and then turned it on again, which solved the problem. Click Settings > Turn WI-FI Off.

I tested it by going to Safari on my iPhone and entering my host name or IP address. For example: http://<name>.local or http://10.0.1.5

Is it possible to preview stash contents in git?

First we can make use of git stash list to get all stash items:

$git stash list
stash@{0}: WIP on ...
stash@{1}: WIP on ....
stash@{2}: WIP on ...

Then we can make use of git stash show stash@{N} to check the files under a specific stash N. If we fire it then we may get:

$ git stash show stash@{2}
fatal: ambiguous argument 'stash@2': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'

The reason for this may be that the shell is eating up curly braces and git sees stash@2 and not stash@{2}. And to fix this we need to make use of single quotes for braces as:

git stash show stash@'{2'}
com/java/myproject/my-xml-impl.xml                     | 16 ++++++++--------
com/java/myproject/MyJavaClass.java                    | 16 ++++++++--------
etc.

How to get numbers after decimal point?

Sometimes trailing zeros matter

In [4]: def split_float(x):
   ...:     '''split float into parts before and after the decimal'''
   ...:     before, after = str(x).split('.')
   ...:     return int(before), (int(after)*10 if len(after)==1 else int(after))
   ...: 
   ...: 

In [5]: split_float(105.10)
Out[5]: (105, 10)

In [6]: split_float(105.01)
Out[6]: (105, 1)

In [7]: split_float(105.12)
Out[7]: (105, 12)

date() method, "A non well formed numeric value encountered" does not want to format a date passed in $_POST

From the documentation for strtotime():

Dates in the m/d/y or d-m-y formats are disambiguated by looking at the separator between the various components: if the separator is a slash (/), then the American m/d/y is assumed; whereas if the separator is a dash (-) or a dot (.), then the European d-m-y format is assumed.

In your date string, you have 12-16-2013. 16 isn't a valid month, and hence strtotime() returns false.

Since you can't use DateTime class, you could manually replace the - with / using str_replace() to convert the date string into a format that strtotime() understands:

$date = '2-16-2013';
echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime(str_replace('-','/', $date))); // => 2013-02-16

How do I jump out of a foreach loop in C#?

Check whether variable is number or string in JavaScript

Here's an approach based on the idea of coercing the input to a number or string by adding zero or the null string, and then do a typed equality comparison.

function is_number(x) { return x === x+0;  }
function is_string(x) { return x === x+""; }

For some unfathomable reason, x===x+0 seems to perform better than x===+x.

Are there any cases where this fails?

In the same vein:

function is_boolean(x) { return x === !!x; }

This appears to be mildly faster than either x===true || x===false or typeof x==="boolean" (and much faster than x===Boolean(x)).

Then there's also

function is_regexp(x)  { return x === RegExp(x); }

All these depend on the existence of an "identity" operation particular to each type which can be applied to any value and reliably produce a value of the type in question. I cannot think of such an operation for dates.

For NaN, there is

function is_nan(x) { return x !== x;}

This is basically underscore's version, and as it stands is about four times faster than isNaN(), but the comments in the underscore source mention that "NaN is the only number that does not equal itself" and adds a check for _.isNumber. Why? What other objects would not equal themselves? Also, underscore uses x !== +x--but what difference could the + here make?

Then for the paranoid:

function is_undefined(x) { return x===[][0]; }

or this

function is_undefined(x) { return x===void(0); }

Expand and collapse with angular js

In html

button ng-click="myMethod()">Videos</button>

In angular

 $scope.myMethod = function () {
         $(".collapse").collapse('hide');    //if you want to hide
         $(".collapse").collapse('toggle');  //if you want toggle
         $(".collapse").collapse('show');    //if you want to show

Proper way to initialize C++ structs

That seems to me the easiest way. Structure members can be initialized using curly braces ‘{}’. For example, following is a valid initialization.

struct Point 
{ 
   int x, y; 
};  

int main() 
{ 
   // A valid initialization. member x gets value 0 and y 
   // gets value 1.  The order of declaration is followed. 
   struct Point p1 = {0, 1};  
}

There is good information about structs in c++ - https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/structures-in-cpp/

The client and server cannot communicate, because they do not possess a common algorithm - ASP.NET C# IIS TLS 1.0 / 1.1 / 1.2 - Win32Exception

There are a couple of things that you need to check related to this.

Whenever there is an error like this thrown related to making a secure connection, try running a script like the one below in Powershell with the name of the machine or the uri (like "www.google.com") to get results back for each of the different protocol types:

 function Test-SocketSslProtocols {
    
    [CmdletBinding()] 
    param(
        [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][string]$ComputerName,
        [int]$Port = 443,
        [string[]]$ProtocolNames = $null
        )

    #set results list    
    $ProtocolStatusObjArr = [System.Collections.ArrayList]@()


    if($ProtocolNames -eq $null){

        #if parameter $ProtocolNames empty get system list
        $ProtocolNames = [System.Security.Authentication.SslProtocols] | Get-Member -Static -MemberType Property | Where-Object { $_.Name -notin @("Default", "None") } | ForEach-Object { $_.Name }

    }
 
    foreach($ProtocolName in $ProtocolNames){

        #create and connect socket
        #use default port 443 unless defined otherwise
        #if the port specified is not listening it will throw in error
        #ensure listening port is a tls exposed port
        $Socket = New-Object System.Net.Sockets.Socket([System.Net.Sockets.SocketType]::Stream, [System.Net.Sockets.ProtocolType]::Tcp)
        $Socket.Connect($ComputerName, $Port)

        #initialize default obj
        $ProtocolStatusObj = [PSCustomObject]@{
            Computer = $ComputerName
            Port = $Port 
            ProtocolName = $ProtocolName
            IsActive = $false
            KeySize = $null
            SignatureAlgorithm = $null
            Certificate = $null
        }

        try {

            #create netstream
            $NetStream = New-Object System.Net.Sockets.NetworkStream($Socket, $true)

            #wrap stream in security sslstream
            $SslStream = New-Object System.Net.Security.SslStream($NetStream, $true)
            $SslStream.AuthenticateAsClient($ComputerName, $null, $ProtocolName, $false)
         
            $RemoteCertificate = [System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2]$SslStream.RemoteCertificate
            $ProtocolStatusObj.IsActive = $true
            $ProtocolStatusObj.KeySize = $RemoteCertificate.PublicKey.Key.KeySize
            $ProtocolStatusObj.SignatureAlgorithm = $RemoteCertificate.SignatureAlgorithm.FriendlyName
            $ProtocolStatusObj.Certificate = $RemoteCertificate

        } 
        catch  {

            $ProtocolStatusObj.IsActive = $false
            Write-Error "Failure to connect to machine $ComputerName using protocol: $ProtocolName."
            Write-Error $_

        }   
        finally {

Test-SocketSslProtocols -ComputerName "www.google.com"

It will try to establish socket connections and return complete objects for each attempt and successful connection.

After seeing what returns, check your computer registry via regedit (put "regedit" in run or look up "Registry Editor"), place

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL

in the filepath and ensure that you have the appropriate TLS Protocol enabled for whatever server you're trying to connect to (from the results you had returned from the scripts). Adjust as necessary and then reset your computer (this is required). Try connecting with the powershell script again and see what results you get back. If still unsuccessful, ensure that the algorithms, hashes, and ciphers that need to be enabled are narrowing down what needs to be enabled (IISCrypto is a good application for this and is available for free. It will give you a real time view of what is enabled or disabled in your SChannel registry where all these things are located).

Also keep in mind the Windows version, DotNet version, and updates you have currently installed because despite a lot of TLS options being enabled by default in Windows 10, previous versions required patches to enable the option.

One last thing: TLS is a TWO-WAY street (keep this in mind) with the idea being that the server's having things available is just as important as the client. If the server only offers to connect via TLS 1.2 using certain algorithms then no client will be able to connect with anything else. Also, if the client won't connect with anything else other than a certain protocol or ciphersuite the connection won't work. Browsers are also something that need to be taken into account with this because of their forcing errors on HTTP2 for anything done with less than TLS 1.2 DESPITE there NOT actually being an error (they throw it to try and get people to upgrade but the registry settings do exist to modify this behavior).

Oracle timestamp data type

Quite simply the number is the precision of the timestamp, the fraction of a second held in the column:

SQL> create table t23
  2  (ts0 timestamp(0)
  3   , ts3 timestamp(3)
  4  , ts6 timestamp(6)
  5  )
  6  /

Table created.

SQL> insert into t23 values (systimestamp, systimestamp, systimestamp)
  2  /

1 row created.

SQL> select * from t23
  2  /

TS0

24-JAN-12 05.57.12.003 AM
24-JAN-12 05.57.12.002648 AM


SQL> 

If we don't specify a precision then the timestamp defaults to six places.

SQL> alter table t23 add ts_def timestamp;

Table altered.

SQL> update t23      
  2  set ts_def = systimestamp
  3  /

1 row updated.

SQL> select * from t23
  2  /

24-JAN-12 05.59.27.293305 AM


SQL> 

Note that I'm running on Linux so my TIMESTAMP column actually gives me precision to six places i.e. microseconds. This would also be the case on most (all?) flavours of Unix. On Windows the limit is three places i.e. milliseconds. (Is this still true of the most modern flavours of Windows - citation needed).

As might be expected, the documentation covers this. Find out more.


"when you create timestamp(9) this gives you nanos right"

Only if the OS supports it. As you can see, my OEL appliance does not:

Click event doesn't work on dynamically generated elements

The Jquery .on works ok but I had some problems with the rendering implementing some of the solutions above. My problem using the .on is that somehow it was rendering the events differently than the .hover method.

Just fyi for anyone else that may also have the problem. I solved my problem by re-registering the hover event for the dynamically added item:

re-register the hover event because hover doesn't work for dynamically created items. so every time i create the new/dynamic item i add the hover code again. works perfectly

$('#someID div:last').hover(
    function() {
       //...
    },
    function() {
       //...
    }
);

Difference between Git and GitHub

In simple way we can tell below are the difference between git and git hub and VSTS.

git: - Treat git as a engine/technology to achieve source version control to our project. Unlike TFS (again a centralized source version control ) git is distributed version control technology. That means git it actually does not mandate to have any server. Through git technology we can make our own local machine as a source code repository not required to have a centralized server always(in large scale it can have Microsoft server to push and keep our project source code). But with SVN and TFS kind version control, it is mandatory that a server be associated with it.

For example if I am a free-lance developer and I directly report to my client and there is no other developer involved, I need to keep version control of my code to roll back(any version) and commit my codes and I don't have budget to get a server and I don't have time to install and use other server in my machine as TFS server and TFS client. So, the optimal way is to install git engine and use my local machine as a repository for version controlling by git.

GitHub: - as I said previously git is a technology and used with some command / shell commands , ie git only doesn't have UI. GitHub is online product or online repository which uses git technology for their process and achieve version controls along with other functionalities like bug tracking,Project management, Support ticket management ..etc. In other words Git Hub is a wrapper build on git technology with a UI and other functionalities by other third party firm, it is actually a product owned by somebody or some group based on git technology , where as git is open source, and not marketable product.

VSTS : - VSTS is a Microsoft product for online repository keeping source version control which can be treated as an alternate to git hub. Since its of Microsoft , VSTS support both git technology and TFS(TFVC-team foundation version control). Because TFS is another old Microsoft product to achieve this version control.Gradually I assume VSTS will gradually dump TFS as git is the prominent technology in this area and it is open source.

How to make my font bold using css?

Selector name{
font-weight:bold;
}

Suppose you want to make bold for p element

p{
font-weight:bold;
}

You can use other alternative value instead of bold like

p{
 font-weight:bolder;
 font-weight:600;
}

Setting a spinner onClickListener() in Android

Whenever you have to perform some action on the click of the Spinner in Android, use the following method.

mspUserState.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {

    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
        if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
            doWhatIsRequired();
        }
        return false;
    }
});

One thing to keep in mind is always to return False while using the above method. If you will return True then the dropdown items of the spinner will not be displayed on clicking the Spinner.

How to scroll to an element in jQuery?

I think you might be looking for an "anchor" given the example you have.

<a href="#jump">This link will jump to the anchor named jump</a>
<a name="jump">This is where the link will jump to</a>

The focus jQuery method does something different from what you're trying to achieve.

ImageMagick security policy 'PDF' blocking conversion

Alternatively you can use img2pdf to convert images to pdf. Install it on Debian or Ubuntu with:

sudo apt install img2pdf

Convert one or more images to pdf:

img2pdf img.jpg -o output.pdf

It uses a different mechanism than imagemagick to embed the image into the pdf. When possible Img2pdf embeds the image directly into the pdf, without decoding and recoding the image.

Console output in a Qt GUI app?

Add:

#ifdef _WIN32
if (AttachConsole(ATTACH_PARENT_PROCESS)) {
    freopen("CONOUT$", "w", stdout);
    freopen("CONOUT$", "w", stderr);
}
#endif

at the top of main(). This will enable output to the console only if the program is started in a console, and won't pop up a console window in other situations. If you want to create a console window to display messages when you run the app outside a console you can change the condition to:

if (AttachConsole(ATTACH_PARENT_PROCESS) || AllocConsole())

How do I copy an entire directory of files into an existing directory using Python?

This is inspired from the original best answer provided by atzz, I just added replace file / folder logic. So it doesn't actually merge, but deletes the existing file/ folder and copies the new one:

import shutil
import os
def copytree(src, dst, symlinks=False, ignore=None):
    for item in os.listdir(src):
        s = os.path.join(src, item)
        d = os.path.join(dst, item)
        if os.path.exists(d):
            try:
                shutil.rmtree(d)
            except Exception as e:
                print e
                os.unlink(d)
        if os.path.isdir(s):
            shutil.copytree(s, d, symlinks, ignore)
        else:
            shutil.copy2(s, d)
    #shutil.rmtree(src)

Uncomment the rmtree to make it a move function.

Maven- No plugin found for prefix 'spring-boot' in the current project and in the plugin groups

Adding spring-boot-maven-plugin in the build resolved it in my case

<build>
    <finalName>mysample-web</finalName>
    <plugins>
    <plugin>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <dependencies>
            <dependency>
                <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>

CSS text-align not working

Change the rule on your <a> element from:

.navigation ul a {
    color: #000;
    display: block;
    padding: 0 65px 0 0;
    text-decoration: none;
}?

to

.navigation ul a {
    color: #000;
    display: block;
    padding: 0 65px 0 0;
    text-decoration: none;
    width:100%;
    text-align:center;
}?

Just add two new rules (width:100%; and text-align:center;). You need to make the anchor expand to take up the full width of the list item and then text-align center it.

jQuery - Disable Form Fields

The jQuery docs say to use prop() for things like disabled, checked, etc. Also the more concise way is to use their selectors engine. So to disable all form elements in a div or form parent.

$myForm.find(':input:not(:disabled)').prop('disabled',true);

And to enable again you could do

$myForm.find(':input:disabled').prop('disabled',false);

SQL LEFT JOIN Subquery Alias

You didn't select post_id in the subquery. You have to select it in the subquery like this:

SELECT wp_woocommerce_order_items.order_id As No_Commande
FROM  wp_woocommerce_order_items
LEFT JOIN 
    (
        SELECT meta_value As Prenom, post_id  -- <----- this
        FROM wp_postmeta
        WHERE meta_key = '_shipping_first_name'
    ) AS a
ON wp_woocommerce_order_items.order_id = a.post_id
WHERE  wp_woocommerce_order_items.order_id =2198 

How to avoid java.util.ConcurrentModificationException when iterating through and removing elements from an ArrayList

An alternative Java 8 solution using stream:

        theList = theList.stream()
            .filter(element -> !shouldBeRemoved(element))
            .collect(Collectors.toList());

In Java 7 you can use Guava instead:

        theList = FluentIterable.from(theList)
            .filter(new Predicate<String>() {
                @Override
                public boolean apply(String element) {
                    return !shouldBeRemoved(element);
                }
            })
            .toImmutableList();

Note, that the Guava example results in an immutable list which may or may not be what you want.

Duplicate keys in .NET dictionaries?

Here is one way of doing this with List< KeyValuePair< string, string > >

public class ListWithDuplicates : List<KeyValuePair<string, string>>
{
    public void Add(string key, string value)
    {
        var element = new KeyValuePair<string, string>(key, value);
        this.Add(element);
    }
}

var list = new ListWithDuplicates();
list.Add("k1", "v1");
list.Add("k1", "v2");
list.Add("k1", "v3");

foreach(var item in list)
{
    string x = string.format("{0}={1}, ", item.Key, item.Value);
}

Outputs k1=v1, k1=v2, k1=v3

How to refresh table contents in div using jquery/ajax

You can load HTML page partial, in your case is everything inside div#mytable.

setTimeout(function(){
   $( "#mytable" ).load( "your-current-page.html #mytable" );
}, 2000); //refresh every 2 seconds

more information read this http://api.jquery.com/load/

Update Code (if you don't want it auto-refresh)

<button id="refresh-btn">Refresh Table</button>

<script>
$(document).ready(function() {

   function RefreshTable() {
       $( "#mytable" ).load( "your-current-page.html #mytable" );
   }

   $("#refresh-btn").on("click", RefreshTable);

   // OR CAN THIS WAY
   //
   // $("#refresh-btn").on("click", function() {
   //    $( "#mytable" ).load( "your-current-page.html #mytable" );
   // });


});
</script>

Difference of two date time in sql server

There are a number of ways to look at a date difference, and more when comparing date/times. Here's what I use to get the difference between two dates formatted as "HH:MM:SS":

ElapsedTime AS
      RIGHT('0' + CAST(DATEDIFF(S, StartDate, EndDate)        / 3600 AS VARCHAR(2)), 2) + ':'
    + RIGHT('0' + CAST(DATEDIFF(S, StartDate, EndDate) % 3600 /   60 AS VARCHAR(2)), 2) + ':'
    + RIGHT('0' + CAST(DATEDIFF(S, StartDate, EndDate) %   60        AS VARCHAR(2)), 2)

I used this for a calculated column, but you could trivially rewrite it as a UDF or query calculation. Note that this logic rounds down fractional seconds; 00:00.00 to 00:00.999 is considered zero seconds, and displayed as "00:00:00".

If you anticipate that periods may be more than a few days long, this code switches to D:HH:MM:SS format when needed:

ElapsedTime AS
    CASE WHEN DATEDIFF(S, StartDate, EndDate) >= 359999
        THEN
                          CAST(DATEDIFF(S, StartDate, EndDate) / 86400        AS VARCHAR(7)) + ':'
            + RIGHT('0' + CAST(DATEDIFF(S, StartDate, EndDate) % 86400 / 3600 AS VARCHAR(2)), 2) + ':'
            + RIGHT('0' + CAST(DATEDIFF(S, StartDate, EndDate) %  3600 /   60 AS VARCHAR(2)), 2) + ':'
            + RIGHT('0' + CAST(DATEDIFF(S, StartDate, EndDate) %    60        AS VARCHAR(2)), 2)
        ELSE
              RIGHT('0' + CAST(DATEDIFF(S, StartDate, EndDate)        / 3600 AS VARCHAR(2)), 2) + ':'
            + RIGHT('0' + CAST(DATEDIFF(S, StartDate, EndDate) % 3600 /   60 AS VARCHAR(2)), 2) + ':'
            + RIGHT('0' + CAST(DATEDIFF(S, StartDate, EndDate) %   60        AS VARCHAR(2)), 2)
        END

Cannot Resolve Collation Conflict

The thing about collations is that although the database has its own collation, every table, and every column can have its own collation. If not specified it takes the default of its parent object, but can be different.

When you change collation of the database, it will be the new default for all new tables and columns, but it doesn't change the collation of existing objects inside the database. You have to go and change manually the collation of every table and column.

Luckily there are scripts available on the internet that can do the job. I am not going to recommend any as I haven't tried them but here are few links:

http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/302405/The-Easy-way-of-changing-Collation-of-all-Database

Update Collation of all fields in database on the fly

http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic820675-146-1.aspx

If you need to have different collation on two objects or can't change collations - you can still JOIN between them using COLLATE command, and choosing the collation you want for join.

SELECT * FROM A JOIN B ON A.Text = B.Text COLLATE Latin1_General_CI_AS 

or using default database collation:

SELECT * FROM A JOIN B ON A.Text = B.Text COLLATE DATABASE_DEFAULT

How do I convert certain columns of a data frame to become factors?

Given the following sample

myData <- data.frame(A=rep(1:2, 3), B=rep(1:3, 2), Pulse=20:25)  

then

myData$A <-as.factor(myData$A)
myData$B <-as.factor(myData$B)

or you could select your columns altogether and wrap it up nicely:

# select columns
cols <- c("A", "B")
myData[,cols] <- data.frame(apply(myData[cols], 2, as.factor))

levels(myData$A) <- c("long", "short")
levels(myData$B) <- c("1kg", "2kg", "3kg")

To obtain

> myData
      A   B Pulse
1  long 1kg    20
2 short 2kg    21
3  long 3kg    22
4 short 1kg    23
5  long 2kg    24
6 short 3kg    25

Find the greatest number in a list of numbers

You can use the inbuilt function max() with multiple arguments:

print max(1, 2, 3)

or a list:

list = [1, 2, 3]
print max(list)

or in fact anything iterable.

How to sort an array of objects in Java?

You can try something like this:

List<Book> books = new ArrayList<Book>();

Collections.sort(books, new Comparator<Book>(){

  public int compare(Book o1, Book o2)
  {
     return o1.name.compareTo(o2.name);
  }
});

How to set environment variable or system property in spring tests?

The right way to do this, starting with Spring 4.1, is to use a @TestPropertySource annotation.

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration(locations = "classpath:whereever/context.xml")
@TestPropertySource(properties = {"myproperty = foo"})
public class TestWarSpringContext {
    ...    
}

See @TestPropertySource in the Spring docs and Javadocs.

How much does it cost to develop an iPhone application?

There are ways of paying less to get an application, developed than paying the going rate, but very often you get what you pay for - inexperienced developers who leave you with a mess of spaghetti code that's impossible to maintain, or experienced developers with whom you have to communicate across a cultural and language gap.

Developing an app like Twitterific is not easy. It's an extraordinarily polished app with a lot of attention to detail that most people - indeed many developers - would fail to notice or realize the effort behind. You may be able to get a Twitter iPhone client written for $3500 or $5000 by going offshore or by being willing to "work with inexperienced developers", but you're not going to get Twitterific for that, and it's doubtful you'd get even a halfway decent application for that amount.

And you likely will end up spending a lot of time managing the process, going back and forth on requirements, and fighting to get what you really want instead of what they want to give you.

There's also a risk with "cut-rate" development, whether it's offshore or just using inexperienced developers - you may very well end up with something you can't use, or something that gets 1 star ratings because it crashes or behaves erratically. You might find the occasional underpriced gem of a developer, but they won't stay underpriced for long given the sheer demand in this market right now.

By virtue of my books and blog, people often reach out to me when they need help with their iPhone applications. I get, on average, 4 or 5 inquiries a month from people asking for help fixing applications they had developed either over-seas or by inexperienced developers here in the States. In most cases, I end up having to tell them they'd be better off throwing their code out and starting over with a developer who knows what they're doing rather than trying to fix the code they bought on the cheap. If they insist on trying to "fix" what they have, I decline the work.

What is the correct way to declare a boolean variable in Java?

First of all, you should use none of them. You are using wrapper type, which should rarely be used in case you have a primitive type. So, you should use boolean rather.

Further, we initialize the boolean variable to false to hold an initial default value which is false. In case you have declared it as instance variable, it will automatically be initialized to false.

But, its completely upto you, whether you assign a default value or not. I rather prefer to initialize them at the time of declaration.

But if you are immediately assigning to your variable, then you can directly assign a value to it, without having to define a default value.

So, in your case I would use it like this: -

boolean isMatch = email1.equals (email2);

Export DataBase with MySQL Workbench with INSERT statements

You can do it using mysqldump tool in command-line:

mysqldump your_database_name > script.sql

This creates a file with database create statements together with insert statements.

Date vs DateTime

The DateTime object has a Property which returns only the date portion of the value.

    public static void Main()
{
    System.DateTime _Now = DateAndTime.Now;
    Console.WriteLine("The Date and Time is " + _Now);
    //will return the date and time
    Console.WriteLine("The Date Only is " + _Now.Date);
    //will return only the date
    Console.Write("Press any key to continue . . . ");
    Console.ReadKey(true);
}
