What is the easiest way to encrypt a password when I save it to the registry?

Tom Scott got it right in his coverage of how (not) to store passwords, on Computerphile.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZtInClXe1Q

  1. If you can at all avoid it, do not try to store passwords yourself. Use a separate, pre-established, trustworthy user authentication platform (e.g.: OAuth providers, you company's Active Directory domain, etc.) instead.

  2. If you must store passwords, don't follow any of the guidance here. At least, not without also consulting more recent and reputable publications applicable to your language of choice.

There's certainly a lot of smart people here, and probably even some good guidance given. But the odds are strong that, by the time you read this, all of the answers here (including this one) will already be outdated.


The right way to store passwords changes over time.

Probably more frequently than some people change their underwear.


All that said, here's some general guidance that will hopefully remain useful for awhile.

  1. Don't encrypt passwords. Any storage method that allows recovery of the stored data is inherently insecure for the purpose of holding passwords - all forms of encryption included.
  2. Process the passwords exactly as entered by the user during the creation process. Anything you do to the password before sending it to the cryptography module will probably just weaken it. Doing any of the following also just adds complexity to the password storage & verification process, which could cause other problems (perhaps even introduce vulnerabilities) down the road.

    • Don't convert to all-uppercase/all-lowercase.
    • Don't remove whitespace.
    • Don't strip unacceptable characters or strings.
    • Don't change the text encoding.
    • Don't do any character or string substitutions.
    • Don't truncate passwords of any length.
  3. Reject creation of any passwords that can't be stored without modification. Reinforcing the above. If there's some reason your password storage mechanism can't appropriately handle certain characters, whitespaces, strings, or password lengths, then return an error and let the user know about the system's limitations so they can retry with a password that fits within them. For a better user experience, make a list of those limitations accessible to the user up-front. Don't even worry about, let alone bother, hiding the list from attackers - they'll figure it out easily enough on their own anyway.

  4. Use a long, random, and unique salt for each account. No two accounts' passwords should ever look the same in storage, even if the passwords are actually identical.
  5. Use slow and cryptographically strong hashing algorithms that are designed for use with passwords. MD5 is certainly out. SHA-1/SHA-2 are no-go. But I'm not going to tell you what you should use here either. (See the first #2 bullet in this post.)
  6. Iterate as much as you can tolerate. While your system might have better things to do with its processor cycles than hash passwords all day, the people who will be cracking your passwords have systems that don't. Make it as hard on them as you can, without quite making it "too hard" on you.

Most importantly...

Don't just listen to anyone here.

Go look up a reputable and very recent publication on the proper methods of password storage for your language of choice. Actually, you should find multiple recent publications from multiple separate sources that are in agreement before you settle on one method.

It's extremely possible that everything that everyone here (myself included) has said has already been superseded by better technologies or rendered insecure by newly developed attack methods. Go find something that's more probably not.

Can Flask have optional URL parameters?

Since Flask 0.10 you can`t add multiple routes to one endpoint. But you can add fake endpoint

@user.route('/<userId>')
def show(userId):
   return show_with_username(userId)

@user.route('/<userId>/<username>')
def show_with_username(userId,username=None):
   pass

How to play only the audio of a Youtube video using HTML 5?

Embed the video player and use CSS to hide the video. If you do it properly you may even be able to hide only the video and not the controls below it.

However, I'd recommend against it, because it will be a violation of YouTube TOS. Use your own server instead if you really want to play only audio.

phpmailer error "Could not instantiate mail function"

For what it's worth I had this issue and had to go into cPanel where I saw the error message

"Attention! Please register your email IDs used in non-smtp mails through cpanel plugin. Unregistered email IDs will not be allowed in non-smtp emails sent through scripts. Go to Mail section and find "Registered Mail IDs" plugin in paper_lantern theme."

Registering the emails in cPanel (Register Mail IDs) and waiting 10 mins got mine to work.

Hope that helps someone.

How do you do the "therefore" (?) symbol on a Mac or in Textmate?

If you want to do this often, you can create a keybindings file in your Library to map it to a key combination.

In ~/Library create a directory named KeyBindings. Create a file named DefaultKeyBinding.dict inside the directory. You can add key bindings in this format:

{
    "x" = (insertText:, "\U23CF");
    "y" = (insertText:, "hi"); /* warning: this will change 'y' to 'hi'! */
}

The LHS is the key combination you'll hit to enter the character. You can use the following characters to indicate command keys:

@ - Command

~ - Option

^ - Control

You'll need to look up the unicode for your character (in this case, ? is \U2234). So to type this character whenever you typed Control-M, you'd use

"^m" = (insertText:, "\U2234");

You can find more information here: http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~jrus/site/cocoa-text.html

The origin server did not find a current representation for the target resource or is not willing to disclose that one exists. on deploying to tomcat

Trying to run a servlet in Eclipse (right-click + "Run on Server") I encountered the very same problem: "HTTP Status: 404 / Description: The origin server did not find a current representation for the target resource or is not willing to disclose that one exists." Adding an index.html did not help, neither changing various settings of the tomcat.

Finally, I found the problem in an unexpected place: In Eclipse, the Option "Build automatically" was not set. Thus the servlet was not compiled, and no File "myServlet.class" was deployed to the server (in my case in the path .wtpwebapps/projectXX/WEB-INF/classes/XXpackage/). Building the project manually and restarting the server solved the problem.

My environment: Eclipse Neon.3 Release 4.6.3, Tomcat-Version 8.5.14., OS Linux Mint 18.1.

Android Fragment handle back button press

I think the easiest way is to create an interface, and in the Activity check if the fragment is of the interface type, and if so, call its method to handle the pop. Here's the interface to implement in the fragment.

public interface BackPressedFragment {

    // Note for this to work, name AND tag must be set anytime the fragment is added to back stack, e.g.
    // getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
    //                .replace(R.id.fragment_container, MyFragment.newInstance(), "MY_FRAG_TAG")
    //                .addToBackStack("MY_FRAG_TAG")
    //                .commit();
    // This is really an override. Should call popBackStack itself.
    void onPopBackStack();
}

Here's how to implement it.

public class MyFragment extends Fragment implements BackPressedFragment
    @Override
    public void onPopBackStack() {
        /* Your code goes here, do anything you want. */
        getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager().popBackStack();
}

And in your Activity, when you handle the pop (likely in both onBackPressed and onOptionsItemSelected), pop the backstack using this method:

public void popBackStack() {
    FragmentManager fm = getSupportFragmentManager();
    // Call current fragment's onPopBackStack if it has one.
    String fragmentTag = fm.getBackStackEntryAt(fm.getBackStackEntryCount() - 1).getName();
    Fragment currentFragment = getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag(fragmentTag);
    if (currentFragment instanceof BackPressedFragment)
        ((BackPressedFragment)currentFragment).onPopBackStack();
    else
        fm.popBackStack();
}

VS2010 How to include files in project, to copy them to build output directory automatically during build or publish

Just so my fellow neuronically impaired comrades might chance upon it here, I had assumed that, for web projects, if the linked file was an external .config file that the "output directory" would be the same directory that web.config lives in, i.e. your web project's root. In retrospect, it is entirely unsurprising that it copies the linked file into the root/bin folder.

So, if it's an appSettings include file, your web.config's open tag would be

<appSettings file=".\bin\includedAppSettingsFile.config">

Duh.

MySQL SELECT LIKE or REGEXP to match multiple words in one record

you need to do something like this,

SELECT * FROM buckets WHERE bucketname RLIKE 'Stylus.*2100';

or

SELECT * FROM buckets WHERE bucketname RLIKE '(Stylus)+.*(2100)+';

How do I escape ampersands in batch files?

& is used to separate commands. Therefore you can use ^ to escape the &.

How do I get the number of days between two dates in JavaScript?

Here is a quick and dirty implementation of datediff, as a proof of concept to solve the problem as presented in the question. It relies on the fact that you can get the elapsed milliseconds between two dates by subtracting them, which coerces them into their primitive number value (milliseconds since the start of 1970).

_x000D_
_x000D_
// new Date("dateString") is browser-dependent and discouraged, so we'll write_x000D_
// a simple parse function for U.S. date format (which does no error checking)_x000D_
function parseDate(str) {_x000D_
    var mdy = str.split('/');_x000D_
    return new Date(mdy[2], mdy[0]-1, mdy[1]);_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
function datediff(first, second) {_x000D_
    // Take the difference between the dates and divide by milliseconds per day._x000D_
    // Round to nearest whole number to deal with DST._x000D_
    return Math.round((second-first)/(1000*60*60*24));_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
alert(datediff(parseDate(first.value), parseDate(second.value)));
_x000D_
<input id="first" value="1/1/2000"/>_x000D_
<input id="second" value="1/1/2001"/>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

You should be aware that the "normal" Date APIs (without "UTC" in the name) operate in the local timezone of the user's browser, so in general you could run into issues if your user is in a timezone that you don't expect, and your code will have to deal with Daylight Saving Time transitions. You should carefully read the documentation for the Date object and its methods, and for anything more complicated, strongly consider using a library that offers more safe and powerful APIs for date manipulation.

Also, for illustration purposes, the snippet uses named access on the window object for brevity, but in production you should use standardized APIs like getElementById, or more likely, some UI framework.

New to MongoDB Can not run command mongo

If you're using Windows 7/ 7+.

Here is something you can try.

Check if the installation is proper in CONTROL PANEL of your computer.

Now goto the directory and where you've install the MongoDB. Ideally, it would be in

C:\Program Files\MongoDB\Server\3.6\bin

Then either in the command prompt or in the IDE's terminal. Navigate to the above path ( Ideally your save file) and type

mongod --dbpath

It should work alright!

appending list but error 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'append'

You are not supposed to assign it to any variable, when you append something in the list, it updates automatically. use only:-

last_list.append(p.last)

if you assign this to a variable "last_list" again, it will no more be a list (will become a none type variable since you haven't declared the type for that) and append will become invalid in the next run.

Is there a MySQL option/feature to track history of changes to records?

Why not simply use bin log files? If the replication is set on the Mysql server, and binlog file format is set to ROW, then all the changes could be captured.

A good python library called noplay can be used. More info here.

What is the standard exception to throw in Java for not supported/implemented operations?

If you create a new (not yet implemented) function in NetBeans, then it generates a method body with the following statement:

throw new java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException("Not supported yet.");

Therefore, I recommend to use the UnsupportedOperationException.

sql query with multiple where statements

What is meta_key? Strip out all of the meta_value conditionals, reduce, and you end up with this:

SELECT
*
FROM
meta_data
WHERE
(
        (meta_key = 'lat')
)
AND
(
        (meta_key = 'long')
)
GROUP BY
item_id

Since meta_key can never simultaneously equal two different values, no results will be returned.


Based on comments throughout this question and answers so far, it sounds like you're looking for something more along the lines of this:

SELECT
*
FROM
meta_data
WHERE
(
    (meta_key = 'lat')
    AND
    (
        (meta_value >= '60.23457047672217')
        OR
        (meta_value <= '60.23457047672217')
    )
)
OR
(
    (meta_key = 'long')
    AND
    (
        (meta_value >= '24.879140853881836')
        OR
        (meta_value <= '24.879140853881836')
    )
)
GROUP BY
item_id

Note the OR between the top-level conditionals. This is because you want records which are lat or long, since no single record will ever be lat and long.

I'm still not sure what you're trying to accomplish by the inner conditionals. Any non-null value will match those numbers. So maybe you can elaborate on what you're trying to do there. I'm also not sure about the purpose of the GROUP BY clause, but that might be outside the context of this question entirely.

How to rollback or commit a transaction in SQL Server

The good news is a transaction in SQL Server can span multiple batches (each exec is treated as a separate batch.)

You can wrap your EXEC statements in a BEGIN TRANSACTION and COMMIT but you'll need to go a step further and rollback if any errors occur.

Ideally you'd want something like this:

BEGIN TRY
    BEGIN TRANSACTION 
        exec( @sqlHeader)
        exec(@sqlTotals)
        exec(@sqlLine)
    COMMIT
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH

    IF @@TRANCOUNT > 0
        ROLLBACK
END CATCH

The BEGIN TRANSACTION and COMMIT I believe you are already familiar with. The BEGIN TRY and BEGIN CATCH blocks are basically there to catch and handle any errors that occur. If any of your EXEC statements raise an error, the code execution will jump to the CATCH block.

Your existing SQL building code should be outside the transaction (above) as you always want to keep your transactions as short as possible.

Why do we need middleware for async flow in Redux?

Abramov's goal - and everyone's ideally - is simply to encapsulate complexity (and async calls) in the place where it's most appropriate.

Where's the best place to do that in the standard Redux dataflow? How about:

  • Reducers? No way. They should be pure functions with no side-effects. Updating the store is serious, complicated business. Don't contaminate it.
  • Dumb View Components? Definitely No. They have one concern: presentation and user-interaction, and should be as simple as possible.
  • Container Components? Possible, but sub-optimal. It makes sense in that the container is a place where we encapsulate some view related complexity and interact with the store, but:
    • Containers do need to be more complex than dumb components, but it's still a single responsibility: providing bindings between view and state/store. Your async logic is a whole separate concern from that.
    • By placing it in a container, you'd be locking your async logic into a single context, for a single view/route. Bad idea. Ideally it's all reusable, and totally decoupled.
  • Some other Service Module? Bad idea: you'd need to inject access to the store, which is a maintainability/testability nightmare. Better to go with the grain of Redux and access the store only using the APIs/models provided.
  • Actions and the Middlewares that interpret them? Why not?! For starters, it's the only major option we have left. :-) More logically, the action system is decoupled execution logic that you can use from anywhere. It's got access to the store and can dispatch more actions. It has a single responsibility which is to organize the flow of control and data around the application, and most async fits right into that.
    • What about the Action Creators? Why not just do async in there, instead of in the actions themselves, and in Middleware?
      • First and most important, the creators don't have access to the store, as middleware does. That means you can't dispatch new contingent actions, can't read from the store to compose your async, etc.
      • So, keep complexity in a place that's complex of necessity, and keep everything else simple. The creators can then be simple, relatively pure functions that are easy to test.

Python/Django: log to console under runserver, log to file under Apache

You can do this pretty easily with tagalog (https://github.com/dorkitude/tagalog)

For instance, while the standard python module writes to a file object opened in append mode, the App Engine module (https://github.com/dorkitude/tagalog/blob/master/tagalog_appengine.py) overrides this behavior and instead uses logging.INFO.

To get this behavior in an App Engine project, one could simply do:

import tagalog.tagalog_appengine as tagalog
tagalog.log('whatever message', ['whatever','tags'])

You could extend the module yourself and overwrite the log function without much difficulty.

Installing R on Mac - Warning messages: Setting LC_CTYPE failed, using "C"

I got same issue on Catalina mac. I also installed the R from the source in following diretory. ./Documents/R-4.0.3

Now from the terminal type

 ls -a 

and open

 vim .bash_profile 

type

export LANG="en_US.UTF-8"

save with :wq

then type

source .bash_profile 

and then open

./Documents/R-4.0.3/bin/R 
./Documents/R-4.0.3/bin/Rscript 

I always have to run "source /Users/yourComputerName/.bash_profile" before running R scripts.

Why can't DateTime.ParseExact() parse "9/1/2009" using "M/d/yyyy"

Try :

Configure in web config file

<system.web> <globalization culture="ja-JP" uiCulture="zh-HK" /> </system.web>

eg: DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact("08/21/2013", "MM/dd/yyyy", null);

ref url : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306162/

"date(): It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings..."

If these are not your options

  • Modifying php.ini.
  • Adding date_default_timezone call.

Instead of date you could use gmdate.

I have used gmdate( "Y" ) when I needed a year for a copyright snipplet.

load scripts asynchronously

A couple solutions for async loading:

//this function will work cross-browser for loading scripts asynchronously
function loadScript(src, callback)
{
  var s,
      r,
      t;
  r = false;
  s = document.createElement('script');
  s.type = 'text/javascript';
  s.src = src;
  s.onload = s.onreadystatechange = function() {
    //console.log( this.readyState ); //uncomment this line to see which ready states are called.
    if ( !r && (!this.readyState || this.readyState == 'complete') )
    {
      r = true;
      callback();
    }
  };
  t = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
  t.parentNode.insertBefore(s, t);
}

If you've already got jQuery on the page, just use:

$.getScript(url, successCallback)*

Additionally, it's possible that your scripts are being loaded/executed before the document is done loading, meaning that you'd need to wait for document.ready before events can be bound to the elements.

It's not possible to tell specifically what your issue is without seeing the code.

The simplest solution is to keep all of your scripts inline at the bottom of the page, that way they don't block the loading of HTML content while they execute. It also avoids the issue of having to asynchronously load each required script.

If you have a particularly fancy interaction that isn't always used that requires a larger script of some sort, it could be useful to avoid loading that particular script until it's needed (lazy loading).

* scripts loaded with $.getScript will likely not be cached


For anyone who can use modern features such as the Promise object, the loadScript function has become significantly simpler:

function loadScript(src) {
    return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
        var s;
        s = document.createElement('script');
        s.src = src;
        s.onload = resolve;
        s.onerror = reject;
        document.head.appendChild(s);
    });
}

Be aware that this version no longer accepts a callback argument as the returned promise will handle callback. What previously would have been loadScript(src, callback) would now be loadScript(src).then(callback).

This has the added bonus of being able to detect and handle failures, for example one could call...

loadScript(cdnSource)
    .catch(loadScript.bind(null, localSource))
    .then(successCallback, failureCallback);

...and it would handle CDN outages gracefully.

Convert UTC Epoch to local date

Considering, you have epoch_time available,

// for eg. epoch_time = 1487086694.213
var date = new Date(epoch_time * 1000); // multiply by 1000 for milliseconds
var date_string = date.toLocaleString('en-GB');  // 24 hour format

How can you float: right in React Native?

For me setting alignItems to a parent did the trick, like:

var styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    alignItems: 'flex-end'
  }
});

"Could not find the main class" error when running jar exported by Eclipse

I ran into the same issues the other day and it took me days to make it work. The error message was "Could not find the main class", but I can run the executable jar exported from Eclipse in other Windows machines without any problem.

The solution was to install both x64 and x86 version of the same version of JRE. The path environment variable was pointed to the x64 version. No idea why, but it worked for me.

Java Equivalent of C# async/await?

If you're just after clean code which simulates the same effect as async/await in java and don't mind blocking the thread it is called on until it is finished, such as in a test, you could use something like this code:

interface Async {
    void run(Runnable handler);
}

static void await(Async async) throws InterruptedException {

    final CountDownLatch countDownLatch = new CountDownLatch(1);
    async.run(new Runnable() {

        @Override
        public void run() {
            countDownLatch.countDown();
        }
    });
    countDownLatch.await(YOUR_TIMEOUT_VALUE_IN_SECONDS, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
}

    await(new Async() {
        @Override
        public void run(final Runnable handler) {
            yourAsyncMethod(new CompletionHandler() {

                @Override
                public void completion() {
                    handler.run();
                }
            });
        }
    });

Understanding colors on Android (six characters)

If you provide 6 hex digits, that means RGB (2 hex digits for each value of red, green and blue).

If you provide 8 hex digits, it's an ARGB (2 hex digits for each value of alpha, red, green and blue respectively).

So by removing the final 55 you're changing from A=B4, R=55, G=55, B=55 (a mostly transparent grey), to R=B4, G=55, B=55 (a fully-non-transparent dusky pinky).

See the "Color" documentation for the supported formats.

Ansible: copy a directory content to another directory

EDIT: This solution worked when the question was posted. Later Ansible deprecated recursive copying with remote_src

How to schedule a task to run when shutting down windows

I posted this answer too over on superuser.


To do this you will need to set up a custom event filter in Task Scheduler.

Triggers > New > Custom > Edit Event > XML

and paste the following:

<QueryList>
  <Query Id="0" Path="System">
    <Select Path="System">
    *[System[Provider[@Name='User32'] and (Level=4 or Level=0) and (EventID=1074)]]
   and 
     *[EventData[Data[@Name='param5'] and (Data='power off')]]
    </Select>
  </Query>
</QueryList>

This will filter out the power off event only.

If you look in the event viewer you can see under Windows Logs > System under Details tab>XML View that there's this.

- <Event xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event">
- <System>
  <Provider Name="User32" Guid="{xxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxx-x-x}" EventSourceName="User32" /> 
  <EventID Qualifiers="32768">1074</EventID> 
  <Version>0</Version> 
  <Level>4</Level> 
  <Task>0</Task> 
  <Opcode>0</Opcode> 
  <Keywords>0x8080000000000000</Keywords> 
  <TimeCreated SystemTime="2021-01-19T18:23:32.6133523Z" /> 
  <EventRecordID>26696</EventRecordID> 
  <Correlation /> 
  <Execution ProcessID="1056" ThreadID="11288" /> 
  <Channel>System</Channel> 
  <Computer>DESKTOP-REDACTED</Computer> 
  <Security UserID="x-x-x-xx-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx-xxxx" /> 
  </System>
- <EventData>
  <Data Name="param1">Explorer.EXE</Data> 
  <Data Name="param2">DESKTOP-REDACTED</Data> 
  <Data Name="param3">Other (Unplanned)</Data> 
  <Data Name="param4">0x0</Data> 
  <Data Name="param5">power off</Data> 
  <Data Name="param6" /> 
  <Data Name="param7">DESKTOP-REDACTED\username</Data> 
  </EventData>
  </Event>

You can test the query with the query list code above in the event viewer by clicking

Create Custom View... > XML > Edit query manually

and pasting the code, giving it a name Power Off Events Only before you try it in the Task Scheduler.

Change input text border color without changing its height

This css solution worked for me:

input:active,
input:focus {
    border: 1px solid #red
}

input:active,
input:focus {
    padding: 2px solid #red /*for firefox and chrome*/
}

/* .ie is a class you would need to set at the html root level */
.ie input:active,
.ie input:focus {
    padding: 3px solid #red /* IE needs 1px extra padding*/
}

I understand it is not necessary on FF and Chrome, but IE needs it. And there are circumstances when you need it.

Simple (I think) Horizontal Line in WPF?

I had the same issue and eventually chose to use a Rectangle element:

<Rectangle HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Fill="Blue" Height="4"/>

In my opinion it's somewhat easier to modify/shape than a separator. Of course the Separator is a very easy and neat solution for simple separations :)

Eslint: How to disable "unexpected console statement" in Node.js?

You should add one rule and add your env:

    "no-console": "off"
  },
  "env": {
    "browser": true
  }
}

you can add other envs.

Getting HTTP headers with Node.js

This sample code should work:

var req = http.request(options, function(res) {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(res.headers));
  }
);
req.end();

jQuery click event not working in mobile browsers

Vohuman's answer lead me to my own implementation:

$(document).on("vclick", ".className", function() {
  // Whatever you want to do
});

Instead of:

$(document).ready(function($) {
  $('.className').click(function(){
    // Whatever you want to do
  });
});

I hope this helps!

Getting the text that follows after the regex match

You just need to put "group(1)" instead of "group()" in the following line and the return will be the one you expected:

System.out.println("I found the text: " + matcher.group(**1**).toString());

Sum values in a column based on date

If the second row has the same pattern as the first row, you just need edit first row manually, then you position your mouse pointer to the bottom-right corner, in the mean time, press ctrl key to drag the cell down. the pattern should be copied automatically.

Jquery mouseenter() vs mouseover()

You see the behavior when your target element contains child elements:

How do I exit from a function?

There are two ways to exit a method early (without quitting the program):

i) Use the return keyword.
ii) Throw an exception.

Exceptions should only be used for exceptional circumstances - when the method cannot continue and it cannot return a reasonable value that would make sense to the caller. Usually though you should just return when you are done.

If your method returns void then you can write return without a value:

return;

How to format a UTC date as a `YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss` string using NodeJS?

How to declare a structure in a header that is to be used by multiple files in c?

if this structure is to be used by some other file func.c how to do it?

When a type is used in a file (i.e. func.c file), it must be visible. The very worst way to do it is copy paste it in each source file needed it.

The right way is putting it in an header file, and include this header file whenever needed.

shall we open a new header file and declare the structure there and include that header in the func.c?

This is the solution I like more, because it makes the code highly modular. I would code your struct as:

#ifndef SOME_HEADER_GUARD_WITH_UNIQUE_NAME
#define SOME_HEADER_GUARD_WITH_UNIQUE_NAME

struct a
{ 
    int i;
    struct b
    {
        int j;
    }
};

#endif

I would put functions using this structure in the same header (the function that are "semantically" part of its "interface").

And usually, I could name the file after the structure name, and use that name again to choose the header guards defines.

If you need to declare a function using a pointer to the struct, you won't need the full struct definition. A simple forward declaration like:

struct a ;

Will be enough, and it decreases coupling.

or can we define the total structure in header file and include that in both source.c and func.c?

This is another way, easier somewhat, but less modular: Some code needing only your structure to work would still have to include all types.

In C++, this could lead to interesting complication, but this is out of topic (no C++ tag), so I won't elaborate.

then how to declare that structure as extern in both the files. ?

I fail to see the point, perhaps, but Greg Hewgill has a very good answer in his post How to declare a structure in a header that is to be used by multiple files in c?.

shall we typedef it then how?

  • If you are using C++, don't.
  • If you are using C, you should.

The reason being that C struct managing can be a pain: You have to declare the struct keyword everywhere it is used:

struct MyStruct ; /* Forward declaration */

struct MyStruct
{
   /* etc. */
} ;

void doSomething(struct MyStruct * p) /* parameter */
{
   struct MyStruct a ; /* variable */
   /* etc */
}

While a typedef will enable you to write it without the struct keyword.

struct MyStructTag ; /* Forward declaration */

typedef struct MyStructTag
{
   /* etc. */
} MyStruct ;

void doSomething(MyStruct * p) /* parameter */
{
   MyStruct a ; /* variable */
   /* etc */
}

It is important you still keep a name for the struct. Writing:

typedef struct
{
   /* etc. */
} MyStruct ;

will just create an anonymous struct with a typedef-ed name, and you won't be able to forward-declare it. So keep to the following format:

typedef struct MyStructTag
{
   /* etc. */
} MyStruct ;

Thus, you'll be able to use MyStruct everywhere you want to avoid adding the struct keyword, and still use MyStructTag when a typedef won't work (i.e. forward declaration)

Edit:

Corrected wrong assumption about C99 struct declaration, as rightfully remarked by Jonathan Leffler.

Edit 2018-06-01:

Craig Barnes reminds us in his comment that you don't need to keep separate names for the struct "tag" name and its "typedef" name, like I did above for the sake of clarity.

Indeed, the code above could well be written as:

typedef struct MyStruct
{
   /* etc. */
} MyStruct ;

IIRC, this is actually what C++ does with its simpler struct declaration, behind the scenes, to keep it compatible with C:

// C++ explicit declaration by the user
struct MyStruct
{
   /* etc. */
} ;
// C++ standard then implicitly adds the following line
typedef MyStruct MyStruct;

Back to C, I've seen both usages (separate names and same names), and none has drawbacks I know of, so using the same name makes reading simpler if you don't use C separate "namespaces" for structs and other symbols.

Where in an Eclipse workspace is the list of projects stored?

Windows:

<workspace>\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources\.projects\

Linux / osx:

<workspace>/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.projects/

Your project can exist outside the workspace, but all Eclipse-specific metadata are stored in that org.eclipse.core.resources\.projects directory

C# SQL Server - Passing a list to a stored procedure

No, arrays/lists can't be passed to SQL Server directly.

The following options are available:

  1. Passing a comma-delimited list and then having a function in SQL split the list. The comma delimited list will most likely be passed as an Nvarchar()
  2. Pass xml and have a function in SQL Server parse the XML for each value in the list
  3. Use the new defined User Defined table type (SQL 2008)
  4. Dynamically build the SQL and pass in the raw list as "1,2,3,4" and build the SQL statement. This is prone to SQL injection attacks, but it will work.

#pragma mark in Swift?

Confirmed with an Apple Engineer in the Swift lab this morning at WWDC that there currently aren't any #pragma or equivalent at the moment, they consider this a bug, and it will arrive soon, so I am guessing beta 2, I hope.

Anyway, it's on it's way.


Xcode now supports //MARK:, //TODO: and //FIXME landmarks to annotate your code and lists them in the jump bar

(change) vs (ngModelChange) in angular

(change) event bound to classical input change event.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Events/change

You can use (change) event even if you don't have a model at your input as

<input (change)="somethingChanged()">

(ngModelChange) is the @Output of ngModel directive. It fires when the model changes. You cannot use this event without ngModel directive.

https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/master/packages/forms/src/directives/ng_model.ts#L124

As you discover more in the source code, (ngModelChange) emits the new value.

https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/master/packages/forms/src/directives/ng_model.ts#L169

So it means you have ability of such usage:

<input (ngModelChange)="modelChanged($event)">
modelChanged(newObj) {
    // do something with new value
}

Basically, it seems like there is no big difference between two, but ngModel events gains the power when you use [ngValue].

  <select [(ngModel)]="data" (ngModelChange)="dataChanged($event)" name="data">
      <option *ngFor="let currentData of allData" [ngValue]="currentData">
          {{data.name}}
      </option>
  </select>
dataChanged(newObj) {
    // here comes the object as parameter
}

assume you try the same thing without "ngModel things"

<select (change)="changed($event)">
    <option *ngFor="let currentData of allData" [value]="currentData.id">
        {{data.name}}
    </option>
</select>
changed(e){
    // event comes as parameter, you'll have to find selectedData manually
    // by using e.target.data
}

Cannot connect to the Docker daemon on macOS

On macOS the docker binary is only a client and you cannot use it to run the docker daemon, because Docker daemon uses Linux-specific kernel features, therefore you can’t run Docker natively in OS X. So you have to install docker-machine in order to create VM and attach to it.

Install docker-machine on macOS

If you don't have docker-machine command yet, install it by using one of the following methods:

  • Using Brew command: brew install docker-machine docker.
  • Manually from Releases page:

    $ curl -L https://github.com/docker/machine/releases/download/v0.16.1/docker-machine-`uname -s`-`uname -m` >/usr/local/bin/docker-machine
    $ chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-machine
    

See: Get started with Docker for Mac.

Install Virtualbox

docker-machine relies on VirtualBox being installed and will fail if this isn't the case. If you already have VirtualBox, you can skip this step.

  • Using Homebrew: brew cask install virtualbox
  • Manually using the releases on Virtualbox.org

You will need to actively accept loading the Virtualbox kernel extension in the OS X Security panel and then proceed to restart the machine for the next commands not to fail with Error: VBoxNetAdpCtl: Error while adding new interface

Configure docker-machine on macOS

Create a default machine (if you don't have one, see: docker-machine ls):

docker-machine create --driver virtualbox default

Then set-up the environment for the Docker client:

eval "$(docker-machine env default)"

Then double-check by listing containers:

docker ps

See: Get started with Docker Machine and a local VM.

How to check if curl is enabled or disabled

Its always better to go for a generic reusable function in your project which returns whether the extension loaded. You can use the following function to check -

function isExtensionLoaded($extension_name){
    return extension_loaded($extension_name);
}

Usage

echo isExtensionLoaded('curl');
echo isExtensionLoaded('gd');

Getting 404 Not Found error while trying to use ErrorDocument

The ErrorDocument directive, when supplied a local URL path, expects the path to be fully qualified from the DocumentRoot. In your case, this means that the actual path to the ErrorDocument is

ErrorDocument 404 /hellothere/error/404page.html

The system cannot find the file specified. in Visual Studio

Another take on this that hasn't been mentioned here is that, when in debug, the project may build, but it won't run, giving the error message displayed in the question.

If this is the case, another option to look at is the output file versus the target file. These should match.

A quick way to check the output file is to go to the project's property pages, then go to Configuration Properties -> Linker -> General (In VS 2013 - exact path may vary depending on IDE version).

There is an "Output File" setting. If it is not $(OutDir)$(TargetName)$(TargetExt), then you may run into issues.

This is also discussed in more detail here.

How to convert list data into json in java

public static List<Product> getCartList() {

    JSONObject responseDetailsJson = new JSONObject();
    JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray();

    List<Product> cartList = new Vector<Product>(cartMap.keySet().size());
    for(Product p : cartMap.keySet()) {
        cartList.add(p);
        JSONObject formDetailsJson = new JSONObject();
        formDetailsJson.put("id", "1");
        formDetailsJson.put("name", "name1");
       jsonArray.add(formDetailsJson);
    }
    responseDetailsJson.put("forms", jsonArray);//Here you can see the data in json format

    return cartList;

}

you can get the data in the following form

{
    "forms": [
        { "id": "1", "name": "name1" },
        { "id": "2", "name": "name2" } 
    ]

Best database field type for a URL

This really depends on your use case (see below), but storing as TEXT has performance issues, and a huge VARCHAR sounds like overkill for most cases.

My approach: use a generous, but not unreasonably large VARCHAR length, such as VARCHAR(500) or so, and encourage the users who need a larger URL to use a URL shortener such as safe.mn.

The Twitter approach: For a really nice UX, provide an automatic URL shortener for overly-long URL's and store the "display version" of the link as a snippet of the URL with ellipses at the end. (Example: http://stackoverflow.com/q/219569/1235702 would be displayed as stackoverflow.com/q/21956... and would link to a shortened URL http://ex.ampl/e1234)

Notes and Caveats

  • Obviously, the Twitter approach is nicer, but for my app's needs, recommending a URL shortener was sufficient.
  • URL shorteners have their drawbacks, such as security concerns. In my case, it's not a huge risk because the URL's are not public and not heavily used; however, this obviously won't work for everyone. safe.mn appears to block a lot of spam and phishing URL's, but I would still recommend caution.
  • Be sure to note that you shouldn't force your users to use a URL shortener. For most cases (at least for my app's needs), 500 characters is overly sufficient for what most users will be using it for. Only use/recommend a URL shortener for overly-long links.

Use custom build output folder when using create-react-app

Félix's answer is correct and upvoted, backed-up by Dan Abramov himself.

But for those who would like to change the structure of the output itself (within the build folder), one can run post-build commands with the help of postbuild, which automatically runs after the build script defined in the package.json file.

The example below changes it from static/ to user/static/, moving files and updating file references on relevant files (full gist here):

package.json

{
  "name": "your-project",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  [...]
  "scripts": {
    "build": "react-scripts build",
    "postbuild": "./postbuild.sh",
    [...]
  },
}

postbuild.sh

#!/bin/bash

# The purpose of this script is to do things with files generated by
# 'create-react-app' after 'build' is run.
# 1. Move files to a new directory called 'user'
#    The resulting structure is 'build/user/static/<etc>'
# 2. Update reference on generated files from
#    static/<etc>
#     to
#    user/static/<etc>
#
# More details on: https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/issues/3824

# Browse into './build/' directory
cd build
# Create './user/' directory
echo '1/4 Create "user" directory'
mkdir user
# Find all files, excluding (through 'grep'):
# - '.',
# - the newly created directory './user/'
# - all content for the directory'./static/'
# Move all matches to the directory './user/'
echo '2/4 Move relevant files'
find . | grep -Ev '^.$|^.\/user$|^.\/static\/.+' | xargs -I{} mv -v {} user
# Browse into './user/' directory
cd user
# Find all files within the folder (not subfolders)
# Replace string 'static/' with 'user/static/' on all files that match the 'find'
# ('sed' requires one to create backup files on OSX, so we do that)
echo '3/4 Replace file references'
find . -type f -maxdepth 1 | LC_ALL=C xargs -I{} sed -i.backup -e 's,static/,user/static/,g' {}
# Delete '*.backup' files created in the last process
echo '4/4 Clean up'
find . -name '*.backup' -type f -delete
# Done

Is there a native jQuery function to switch elements?

No, there isn't, but you could whip one up:

jQuery.fn.swapWith = function(to) {
    return this.each(function() {
        var copy_to = $(to).clone(true);
        var copy_from = $(this).clone(true);
        $(to).replaceWith(copy_from);
        $(this).replaceWith(copy_to);
    });
};

Usage:

$(selector1).swapWith(selector2);

Note this only works if the selectors only match 1 element each, otherwise it could give weird results.

Difference between Relative path and absolute path in javascript

What is the difference between Relative path and absolute path?

One has to be calculated with respect to another URI. The other does not.

Is there any performance issues occures for using these paths?

Nothing significant.

We will get any secure for the sites ?

No

Is there any way to converting absolute path to relative

In really simplified terms: Working from left to right, try to match the scheme, hostname, then path segments with the URI you are trying to be relative to. Stop when you have a match.

javascript push multidimensional array

In JavaScript, the type of key/value store you are attempting to use is an object literal, rather than an array. You are mistakenly creating a composite array object, which happens to have other properties based on the key names you provided, but the array portion contains no elements.

Instead, declare valueToPush as an object and push that onto cookie_value_add:

// Create valueToPush as an object {} rather than an array []
var valueToPush = {};

// Add the properties to your object
// Note, you could also use the valueToPush["productID"] syntax you had
// above, but this is a more object-like syntax
valueToPush.productID = productID;
valueToPush.itemColorTitle = itemColorTitle;
valueToPush.itemColorPath = itemColorPath;

cookie_value_add.push(valueToPush);

// View the structure of cookie_value_add
console.dir(cookie_value_add);

How do I check whether a file exists without exceptions?

Visual Studio opens the default browser instead of Internet Explorer

In Visual Studio 2010 the default browser gets reset often (just about every time an IDE setting is changed or even after restarting Visual Studio). There is now a default browser selector extension for 2010 to help combat this:

!!!Update!!! It appears that the WoVS Default Browser Switcher is no longer available for free according to @Cory. You might try Default Browser Changer instead but I have not tested it. If you already have the WoVS plugin I would recommend backing it up so that you can install it later.

The following solution may no longer work:

WoVS Default Browser Switcher

Edit: This works with ASP.NET MVC applications as well.

Note: One negative side effect of installing this extension is that it seems to nag to be updated about once a month. This has caused some to uninstall it because, to them, its more bothersome then the problem it fixes. Regardless it is easily updated through the extension manager and I still find it very useful.

You will see the following error when starting VS:

The Default Browser Switcher beta bits have expired. Please use the Extension Manager or visit the VS Gallery to download updated bits.

How/When does Execute Shell mark a build as failure in Jenkins?

How do I undo the most recent local commits in Git?

You can undo your commits from the local repository. Please follow the below scenario.

In the below image I check out the 'test' branch (using Git command git checkout -b test) as a local and check status (using Git command git status) of local branch that there is nothing to commit.

Enter image description here

In the next image image you can see here I made a few changes in Filter1.txt and added that file to the staging area and then committed my changes with some message (using Git command git commit -m "Doing commit to test revert back").

"-m is for commit message"

Enter image description here

In the next image you can see your commits log whatever you have made commits (using Git command git log).

Enter image description here

So in the above image you can see the commit id with each commit and with your commit message now whatever commit you want to revert back or undo copy that commit id and hit the below Git command, git revert {"paste your commit id"}. Example:

git revert 9ca304ed12b991f8251496b4ea452857b34353e7

Enter image description here

I have reverted back my last commit. Now if you check your Git status, you can see the modified file which is Filter1.txt and yet to commit.

Enter image description here

Iterating through a range of dates in Python

What about the following for doing a range incremented by days:

for d in map( lambda x: startDate+datetime.timedelta(days=x), xrange( (stopDate-startDate).days ) ):
  # Do stuff here
  • startDate and stopDate are datetime.date objects

For a generic version:

for d in map( lambda x: startTime+x*stepTime, xrange( (stopTime-startTime).total_seconds() / stepTime.total_seconds() ) ):
  # Do stuff here
  • startTime and stopTime are datetime.date or datetime.datetime object (both should be the same type)
  • stepTime is a timedelta object

Note that .total_seconds() is only supported after python 2.7 If you are stuck with an earlier version you can write your own function:

def total_seconds( td ):
  return float(td.microseconds + (td.seconds + td.days * 24 * 3600) * 10**6) / 10**6

What are file descriptors, explained in simple terms?

File descriptors are nothing but references for any open resource. As soon as you open a resource the kernel assumes you will be doing some operations on it. All the communication via your program and the resource happens over an interface and this interface is provided by the file-descriptor.

Since a process can open more than one resource, it is possible for a resource to have more than one file-descriptors.
You can view all file-descriptors linked to the process by simply running, ls -li /proc/<pid>/fd/ here pid is the process-id of your process

The matching wildcard is strict, but no declaration can be found for element 'context:component-scan

[int(.6*len(df)), int(.8*len(df))] - is an indices_or_sections array for numpy.split().

Here is a small demo for np.split() usage - let's split 20-elements array into the following parts: 80%, 10%, 10%:

In [45]: a = np.arange(1, 21)

In [46]: a
Out[46]: array([ 1,  2,  3,  4,  5,  6,  7,  8,  9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20])

How to play an android notification sound

I had pretty much the same question. After some research, I think that if you want to play the default system "notification sound", you pretty much have to display a notification and tell it to use the default sound. And there's something to be said for the argument in some of the other answers that if you're playing a notification sound, you should be presenting some notification message as well.

However, a little tweaking of the notification API and you can get close to what you want. You can display a blank notification and then remove it automatically after a few seconds. I think this will work for me; maybe it will work for you.

I've created a set of convenience methods in com.globalmentor.android.app.Notifications.java which allow you create a notification sound like this:

Notifications.notify(this);

The LED will also flash and, if you have vibrate permission, a vibration will occur. Yes, a notification icon will appear in the notification bar but will disappear after a few seconds.

At this point you may realize that, since the notification will go away anyway, you might as well have a scrolling ticker message in the notification bar; you can do that like this:

Notifications.notify(this, 5000, "This text will go away after five seconds.");

There are many other convenience methods in this class. You can download the whole library from its Subversion repository and build it with Maven. It depends on the globalmentor-core library, which can also be built and installed with Maven.

Check table exist or not before create it in Oracle

I know this topic is a bit old, but I think I did something that may be useful for someone, so I'm posting it.

I compiled suggestions from this thread's answers into a procedure:

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE create_table_if_doesnt_exist(
  p_table_name VARCHAR2,
  create_table_query VARCHAR2
) AUTHID CURRENT_USER IS
  n NUMBER;
BEGIN
  SELECT COUNT(*) INTO n FROM user_tables WHERE table_name = UPPER(p_table_name);
  IF (n = 0) THEN
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE create_table_query;
  END IF;
END;

You can then use it in a following way:

call create_table_if_doesnt_exist('my_table', 'CREATE TABLE my_table (
        id NUMBER(19) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
        text VARCHAR2(4000),
        modified_time TIMESTAMP
  )'
);

I know that it's kinda redundant to pass table name twice, but I think that's the easiest here.

Hope somebody finds above useful :-).

Unresolved external symbol on static class members

If you are using C++ 17 you can just use the inline specifier (see https://stackoverflow.com/a/11711082/55721)


If using older versions of the C++ standard, you must add the definitions to match your declarations of X and Y

unsigned char test::X;
unsigned char test::Y;

somewhere. You might want to also initialize a static member

unsigned char test::X = 4;

and again, you do that in the definition (usually in a CXX file) not in the declaration (which is often in a .H file)

How to parse JSON in Scala using standard Scala classes?

I tried a few things, favouring pattern matching as a way of avoiding casting but ran into trouble with type erasure on the collection types.

The main problem seems to be that the complete type of the parse result mirrors the structure of the JSON data and is either cumbersome or impossible to fully state. I guess that is why Any is used to truncate the type definitions. Using Any leads to the need for casting.

I've hacked something below which is concise but is extremely specific to the JSON data implied by the code in the question. Something more general would be more satisfactory but I'm not sure if it would be very elegant.

implicit def any2string(a: Any)  = a.toString
implicit def any2boolean(a: Any) = a.asInstanceOf[Boolean]
implicit def any2double(a: Any)  = a.asInstanceOf[Double]

case class Language(name: String, isActive: Boolean, completeness: Double)

val languages = JSON.parseFull(jstr) match {
  case Some(x) => {
    val m = x.asInstanceOf[Map[String, List[Map[String, Any]]]]

    m("languages") map {l => Language(l("name"), l("isActive"), l("completeness"))}
  }
  case None => Nil
}

languages foreach {println}

Quicker way to get all unique values of a column in VBA?

Try this

Option Explicit

Sub UniqueValues()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim uniqueRng As Range
Dim myCol As Long

myCol = 5 '<== set it as per your needs
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("unique") '<== set it as per your needs

Set uniqueRng = GetUniqueValues(ws, myCol)

End Sub


Function GetUniqueValues(ws As Worksheet, col As Long) As Range
Dim firstRow As Long

With ws
    .Columns(col).RemoveDuplicates Columns:=Array(1), header:=xlNo

    firstRow = 1
    If IsEmpty(.Cells(1, col)) Then firstRow = .Cells(1, col).End(xlDown).row

    Set GetUniqueValues = Range(.Cells(firstRow, col), .Cells(.Rows.Count, col).End(xlUp))
End With

End Function

it should be quite fast and without the drawback NeepNeepNeep told about

Can I pass a JavaScript variable to another browser window?

Passing variables between the windows (if your windows are on the same domain) can be easily done via:

  1. Cookies
  2. localStorage. Just make sure your browser supports localStorage, and do the variable maintenance right (add/delete/remove) to keep localStorage clean.

High-order tagged template literal example based on Date.toLocaleDateString:

const date = new Date(Date.UTC(2020, 4, 2, 3, 23, 16, 738));
const fmt = (dt, lc = "en-US") => (str, ...expr) =>
    str.map((str, i) => str + (expr[i]?dt.toLocaleDateString(lc, expr[i]) :'')).join('')

console.log(fmt(date)`${{year: 'numeric'}}-${{month: '2-digit'}}-${{day: '2-digit'}}`);
// expected output: "2020-05-02"

How do you set a default value for a MySQL Datetime column?

For all those who lost heart trying to set a default DATETIME value in MySQL, I know exactly how you feel/felt. So here is is:

Bootstrap 3 Glyphicons are not working

IIS will not server .woff files by default, so in IIS you'll need to add a <mimeMap> entry to your web.config file;

        <staticContent>

CSS text-decoration underline color

You can't change the color of the line (you can't specify different foreground colors for the same element, and the text and its decoration form a single element). However there are some tricks:

a:link, a:visited {text-decoration: none; color: red; border-bottom: 1px solid #006699; }
a:hover, a:active {text-decoration: none; color: red; border-bottom: 1px solid #1177FF; }

Also you can make some cool effects this way:

a:link {text-decoration: none; color: red; border-bottom: 1px dashed #006699; }

Hope it helps.

Passing Objects By Reference or Value in C#

When you pass the the System.Drawing.Image type object to a method you are actually passing a copy of reference to that object.

So if inside that method you are loading a new image you are loading using new/copied reference. You are not making change in original.

YourMethod(System.Drawing.Image image)
{
    //now this image is a new reference
    //if you load a new image 
    image = new Image()..
    //you are not changing the original reference you are just changing the copy of original reference
}

Change private static final field using Java reflection

The accepted answer worked for me until deployed on JDK 1.8u91. Then I realized it failed at field.set(null, newValue); line when I had read the value via reflection before calling of setFinalStatic method.

Probably the read caused somehow different setup of Java reflection internals (namely sun.reflect.UnsafeQualifiedStaticObjectFieldAccessorImpl in failing case instead of sun.reflect.UnsafeStaticObjectFieldAccessorImpl in success case) but I didn't elaborate it further.

Since I needed to temporarily set new value based on old value and later set old value back, I changed signature little bit to provide computation function externally and also return old value:

public static <T> T assignFinalField(Object object, Class<?> clazz, String fieldName, UnaryOperator<T> newValueFunction) {
    Field f = null, ff = null;
    try {
        f = clazz.getDeclaredField(fieldName);
        final int oldM = f.getModifiers();
        final int newM = oldM & ~Modifier.FINAL;
        ff = Field.class.getDeclaredField("modifiers");
        ff.setAccessible(true);
        ff.setInt(f,newM);
        f.setAccessible(true);

        T result = (T)f.get(object);
        T newValue = newValueFunction.apply(result);

        f.set(object,newValue);
        ff.setInt(f,oldM);

        return result;
    } ...

However for general case this would not be sufficient.

        if (itemName.equals(auction.getname()))
        {
            return i;
        }
    } 

    return -1;
}

How can I split a JavaScript string by white space or comma?

you can use regex in order to catch any length of white space, and this would be like:

var text = "hoi how     are          you";
var arr = text.split(/\s+/);

console.log(arr) // will result : ["hoi", "how", "are", "you"]

console.log(arr[2]) // will result : "are" 

MySQL: Check if the user exists and drop it

Found the answer to this from one of the MySQL forums. We’ll need to use a procedure to delete the user.

User here is “test” and “databaseName” the database name.


SET @OLD_SQL_MODE=@@SQL_MODE, SQL_MODE='ANSI';
USE databaseName ;
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS databaseName.drop_user_if_exists ;
DELIMITER $$
CREATE PROCEDURE databaseName.drop_user_if_exists()
BEGIN
  DECLARE foo BIGINT DEFAULT 0 ;
  SELECT COUNT(*)
  INTO foo
    FROM mysql.user
      WHERE User = 'test' and  Host = 'localhost';
   IF foo > 0 THEN
         DROP USER 'test'@'localhost' ;
  END IF;
END ;$$
DELIMITER ;
CALL databaseName.drop_user_if_exists() ;
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS databaseName.drop_users_if_exists ;
SET SQL_MODE=@OLD_SQL_MODE ;

CREATE USER 'test'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'a'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON databaseName.* TO 'test'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION

async at console app in C#?

In most project types, your async "up" and "down" will end at an async void event handler or returning a Task to your framework.

However, Console apps do not support this.

You can either just do a Wait on the returned task:

static void Main()
{
  MainAsync().Wait();
  // or, if you want to avoid exceptions being wrapped into AggregateException:
  //  MainAsync().GetAwaiter().GetResult();
}

static async Task MainAsync()
{
  ...
}

or you can use your own context like the one I wrote:

static void Main()
{
  AsyncContext.Run(() => MainAsync());
}

static async Task MainAsync()
{
  ...
}

More information for async Console apps is on my blog.

Arrays.asList() of an array

I think you have found an example where auto-boxing doesn't really work. Because Arrays.asList(T... a) has a varargs parameter the compiler apparently considers the int[] and returns a List<int[]> with a single element in it.

You should change the method into this:

public int getTheNumber(Integer[] factors) {
    ArrayList<Integer> f = new ArrayList<Integer>(Arrays.asList(factors));  
    Collections.sort(f);
    return f.get(0) * f.get(f.size() - 1);
}

and possibly add this for compatibility

public int getTheNumber(int[] factors) {
    Integer[] factorsInteger = new Integer[factors.length];
    for(int ii=0; ii<factors.length; ++ii) {
        factorsInteger[ii] = factors[ii];
    }

    return getTheNumber(factorsInteger);
}

How do you handle a form change in jQuery?

You can use multiple selectors to attach a callback to the change event for any form element.

$("input, select").change(function(){
    // Something changed
});

EDIT

Since you mentioned you only need this for a click, you can simply modify my original code to this:

$("input, select").click(function(){
    // A form element was clicked
});

EDIT #2

Ok, you can set a global that is set once something has been changed like this:

var FORM_HAS_CHANGED = false;

$('#mybutton').click(function() {
    if (FORM_HAS_CHANGED) {
        // The form has changed
    }
});

$("input, select").change(function(){
    FORM_HAS_CHANGED = true;
});

Pass array to ajax request in $.ajax()

Just use the JSON.stringify method and pass it through as the "data" parameter for the $.ajax function, like follows:

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "index.php",
    dataType: "json",
    data: JSON.stringify({ paramName: info }),
    success: function(msg){
        $('.answer').html(msg);
    }
});

You just need to make sure you include the JSON2.js file in your page...

what is Segmentation fault (core dumped)?

"Segmentation fault" means that you tried to access memory that you do not have access to.

The first problem is with your arguments of main. The main function should be int main(int argc, char *argv[]), and you should check that argc is at least 2 before accessing argv[1].

Also, since you're passing in a float to printf (which, by the way, gets converted to a double when passing to printf), you should use the %f format specifier. The %s format specifier is for strings ('\0'-terminated character arrays).

A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment: SIGSEGV, libjvm

Here is assembly code:

7f0b024734d7:       0f 8e cb 05 00 00       jle    0x7f0b02473aa8

And what it does is:

rdx = 0x00007f0a808d4ed2 * 8; // equals 0x0003F854046A7690. WTF???
rdx = rdx + something from old gen heap; // results 0x000600007f090486
rdi = rdx + 16; // results 0x000600007f090496
ebx = something from edi address (0x000600007f090496) + 8

Well I've had a look at the address map and there is nothing mapped to 0x000600007f090496 which is why you are getting a SEGV. Are you getting the same error with 1.6.0_26 JVM? Can you try it on a 32bit JVM? Looks like a JVM issue to me. Why would it do the first rdx=0x0... * 8 thing?

Why have header files and .cpp files?

Because in C++, the final executable code does not carry any symbol information, it's more or less pure machine code.

Thus, you need a way to describe the interface of a piece of code, that is separate from the code itself. This description is in the header file.

Initializing an Array of Structs in C#

Are you using C# 3.0? You can use object initializers like so:

static MyStruct[] myArray = 
            new MyStruct[]{
                new MyStruct() { id = 1, label = "1" },
                new MyStruct() { id = 2, label = "2" },
                new MyStruct() { id = 3, label = "3" }
            };

How to initialize var?

Well, I think you can assign it to a new object. Something like:

var v = new object();

pandas read_csv index_col=None not working with delimiters at the end of each line

Re: craigts's response, for anyone having trouble with using either False or None parameters for index_col, such as in cases where you're trying to get rid of a range index, you can instead use an integer to specify the column you want to use as the index. For example:

df = pd.read_csv('file.csv', index_col=0)

The above will set the first column as the index (and not add a range index in my "common case").

Update

Given the popularity of this answer, I thought i'd add some context/ a demo:

# Setting up the dummy data
In [1]: df = pd.DataFrame({"A":[1, 2, 3], "B":[4, 5, 6]})

In [2]: df
Out[2]:
   A  B
0  1  4
1  2  5
2  3  6

In [3]: df.to_csv('file.csv', index=None)
File[3]:
A  B
1  4
2  5
3  6

Reading without index_col or with None/False will all result in a range index:

In [4]: pd.read_csv('file.csv')
Out[4]:
   A  B
0  1  4
1  2  5
2  3  6

# Note that this is the default behavior, so the same as In [4]
In [5]: pd.read_csv('file.csv', index_col=None)
Out[5]:
   A  B
0  1  4
1  2  5
2  3  6

In [6]: pd.read_csv('file.csv', index_col=False)
Out[6]:
   A  B
0  1  4
1  2  5
2  3  6

However, if we specify that "A" (the 0th column) is actually the index, we can avoid the range index:

In [7]: pd.read_csv('file.csv', index_col=0)
Out[7]:
   B
A
1  4
2  5
3  6

How to set javascript variables using MVC4 with Razor

Not so much an answer as a cautionary tale: this was bugging me as well - and I thought I had a solution by pre-pending a zero and using the @(...) syntax. i.e your code would have been:

var nonID = 0@(nonProID);
var proID = 0@(proID);

Getting output like:

var nonId = 0123;

What I didn't realise was that this is how JavaScript (version 3) represents octal/base-8 numbers and is actually altering the value. Additionally, if you are using the "use strict"; command then it will break your code entirely as octal numbers have been removed.

I'm still looking for a proper solution to this.

How to install the JDK on Ubuntu Linux

I recommend JavaPackage.

It's very simple. You just need to follow the instructions to create a .deb package from the Oracle tar.gz file.

Is there a bash command which counts files?

For a recursive search:

find . -type f -name '*.log' -printf x | wc -c

wc -c will count the number of characters in the output of find, while -printf x tells find to print a single x for each result.

For a non-recursive search, do this:

find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -name '*.log' -printf x | wc -c

Referring to the null object in Python

It's not called null as in other languages, but None. There is always only one instance of this object, so you can check for equivalence with x is None (identity comparison) instead of x == None, if you want.

#
def to_hash obj
  Hash[obj.instance_variables.map { |key|
    variable = obj.instance_variable_get key
    [key.to_s[1..-1].to_sym,
      if variable.respond_to? <:some_method> then
        hashify variable
      else
        variable
      end
    ]
  }]
end # }}}

How do I put variable values into a text string in MATLAB?

I just realized why I was having so much trouble - in MATLAB you can't store strings of different lengths as an array using square brackets. Using square brackets concatenates strings of varying lengths into a single character array.

    >> a=['matlab','is','fun']

a =

matlabisfun

>> size(a)

ans =

     1    11

In a character array, each character in a string counts as one element, which explains why the size of a is 1X11.

To store strings of varying lengths as elements of an array, you need to use curly braces to save as a cell array. In cell arrays, each string is treated as a separate element, regardless of length.

>> a={'matlab','is','fun'}

a = 

    'matlab'    'is'    'fun'

>> size(a)

ans =

     1     3

how to detect search engine bots with php?

If you really need to detect GOOGLE engine bots you should never rely on "user_agent" or "IP" address because "user_agent" can be changed and acording to what google said in: Verifying Googlebot

To verify Googlebot as the caller:

1.Run a reverse DNS lookup on the accessing IP address from your logs, using the host command.

2.Verify that the domain name is in either googlebot.com or google.com

3.Run a forward DNS lookup on the domain name retrieved in step 1 using the host command on the retrieved domain name. Verify that it is the same as the original accessing IP address from your logs.

Here is my tested code :

<?php
$remote_add=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$hostname = gethostbyaddr($remote_add);
$googlebot = 'googlebot.com';
$google = 'google.com';
if (stripos(strrev($hostname), strrev($googlebot)) === 0 or stripos(strrev($hostname),strrev($google)) === 0 ) 
{
//add your code
}

?>

In this code we check "hostname" which should contain "googlebot.com" or "google.com" at the end of "hostname" which is really important to check exact domain not subdomain. I hope you enjoy ;)

Place API key in Headers or URL

If you want an argument that might appeal to a boss: Think about what a URL is. URLs are public. People copy and paste them. They share them, they put them on advertisements. Nothing prevents someone (knowingly or not) from mailing that URL around for other people to use. If your API key is in that URL, everybody has it.

Fatal error compiling: invalid target release: 1.8 -> [Help 1]

The problem I was facing was that I was able to make a maven build from the command prompt but not from Eclipse.What worked for me in eclipse is that I changed the run configuration to point to JRE folder inside of JDK rather than leaving it in JDK folder only as per the standard.This solution may work for you as well but try this if and only if all the java paths are correct, java and javac are showing the same version as present in the target of pom.xml.

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.servlet.ServletContext.getContextPath()Ljava/lang/String;

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.servlet.ServletContext.getContextPath()Ljava/lang/String;

That method was added in Servlet 2.5.

So this problem can have at least 3 causes:

  1. The servlet container does not support Servlet 2.5.
  2. The web.xml is not declared conform Servlet 2.5 or newer.
  3. The webapp's runtime classpath is littered with servlet container specific JAR files of a different servlet container make/version which does not support Servlet 2.5.

To solve it,

  1. Make sure that your servlet container supports at least Servlet 2.5. That are at least Tomcat 6, Glassfish 2, JBoss AS 4.1, etcetera. Tomcat 5.5 for example supports at highest Servlet 2.4. If you can't upgrade Tomcat, then you'd need to downgrade Spring to a Servlet 2.4 compatible version.
  2. Make sure that the root declaration of web.xml complies Servlet 2.5 (or newer, at least the highest whatever your target runtime supports). For an example, see also somewhere halfway our servlets wiki page.
  3. Make sure that you don't have any servlet container specific libraries like servlet-api.jar or j2ee.jar in /WEB-INF/lib or even worse, the JRE/lib or JRE/lib/ext. They do not belong there. This is a pretty common beginner's mistake in an attempt to circumvent compilation errors in an IDE, see also How do I import the javax.servlet API in my Eclipse project?.

Java Array, Finding Duplicates

Let's see how your algorithm works:

an array of unique values:

[1, 2, 3]

check 1 == 1. yes, there is duplicate, assigning duplicate to true.
check 1 == 2. no, doing nothing.
check 1 == 3. no, doing nothing.
check 2 == 1. no, doing nothing.
check 2 == 2. yes, there is duplicate, assigning duplicate to true.
check 2 == 3. no, doing nothing.
check 3 == 1. no, doing nothing.
check 3 == 2. no, doing nothing.
check 3 == 3. yes, there is duplicate, assigning duplicate to true.

a better algorithm:

for (j=0;j<zipcodeList.length;j++) {
    for (k=j+1;k<zipcodeList.length;k++) {
        if (zipcodeList[k]==zipcodeList[j]){ // or use .equals()
            return true;
        }
    }
}
return false;

How do I format a date as ISO 8601 in moment.js?

rand() between 0 and 1

rand() / double(RAND_MAX) generates a floating-point random number between 0 (inclusive) and 1 (inclusive), but it's not a good way for the following reasons (because RAND_MAX is usually 32767):

  1. The number of different random numbers that can be generated is too small: 32768. If you need more different random numbers, you need a different way (a code example is given below)
  2. The generated numbers are too coarse-grained: you can get 1/32768, 2/32768, 3/32768, but never anything in between.
  3. Limited states of random number generator engine: after generating RAND_MAX random numbers, implementations usually start to repeat the same sequence of random numbers.

Due to the above limitations of rand(), a better choice for generation of random numbers between 0 (inclusive) and 1 (exclusive) would be the following snippet (similar to the example at http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/numeric/random/uniform_real_distribution ):

#include <iostream>
#include <random>
#include <chrono>

int main()
{
    std::mt19937_64 rng;
    // initialize the random number generator with time-dependent seed
    uint64_t timeSeed = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now().time_since_epoch().count();
    std::seed_seq ss{uint32_t(timeSeed & 0xffffffff), uint32_t(timeSeed>>32)};
    rng.seed(ss);
    // initialize a uniform distribution between 0 and 1
    std::uniform_real_distribution<double> unif(0, 1);
    // ready to generate random numbers
    const int nSimulations = 10;
    for (int i = 0; i < nSimulations; i++)
    {
        double currentRandomNumber = unif(rng);
        std::cout << currentRandomNumber << std::endl;
    }
    return 0;
}

This is easy to modify to generate random numbers between 1 (inclusive) and 2 (exclusive) by replacing unif(0, 1) with unif(1, 2).

JAXB: How to ignore namespace during unmarshalling XML document?

Another way to add a default namespace to an XML Document before feeding it to JAXB is to use JDom:

  1. Parse XML to a Document
  2. Iterate through and set namespace on all Elements
  3. Unmarshall using a JDOMSource

Like this:

public class XMLObjectFactory {
    private static Namespace DEFAULT_NS = Namespace.getNamespace("http://tempuri.org/");

    public static Object createObject(InputStream in) {
        try {
            SAXBuilder sb = new SAXBuilder(false);
            Document doc = sb.build(in);
            setNamespace(doc.getRootElement(), DEFAULT_NS, true);
            Source src = new JDOMSource(doc);
            JAXBContext context = JAXBContext.newInstance("org.tempuri");
            Unmarshaller unmarshaller = context.createUnmarshaller();
            JAXBElement root = unmarshaller.unmarshal(src);
            return root.getValue();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            throw new RuntimeException("Failed to create Object", e);
        }
    }

    private static void setNamespace(Element elem, Namespace ns, boolean recurse) {
        elem.setNamespace(ns);
        if (recurse) {
            for (Object o : elem.getChildren()) {
                setNamespace((Element) o, ns, recurse);
            }
        }
    }

Error launching Eclipse 4.4 "Version 1.6.0_65 of the JVM is not suitable for this product."

Your -vm argument seems ok BUT it's position is wrong. According to this Eclipse Wiki entry :

The -vm option must occur before the -vmargs option, since everything after -vmargs is passed directly to the JVM.

So your -vm argument is not taken into account and it fails over to your default java installation, which is probably 1.6.0_65.

Excel select a value from a cell having row number calculated

You could use the INDIRECT function. This takes a string and converts it into a range

More info here

=INDIRECT("K"&A2)

But it's preferable to use INDEX as it is less volatile.

=INDEX(K:K,A2)

This returns a value or the reference to a value from within a table or range

More info here

Put either function into cell B2 and fill down.

How can I wrap text in a label using WPF?

Instead of using a Label class, I would recommend using a TextBlock. This allows you to set the TextWrapping appropriately.

You can always do:

 label1.Content = new TextBlock() { Text = textBox1.Text, TextWrapping = TextWrapping.Wrap };

However, if all this "label" is for is to display text, use a TextBlock instead.

Write to Windows Application Event Log

This is the logger class that I use. The private Log() method has EventLog.WriteEntry() in it, which is how you actually write to the event log. I'm including all of this code here because it's handy. In addition to logging, this class will also make sure the message isn't too long to write to the event log (it will truncate the message). If the message was too long, you'd get an exception. The caller can also specify the source. If the caller doesn't, this class will get the source. Hope it helps.

By the way, you can get an ObjectDumper from the web. I didn't want to post all that here. I got mine from here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Samples\1033\CSharpSamples.zip\LinqSamples\ObjectDumper

How to use LINQ to select object with minimum or maximum property value

People.OrderBy(p => p.DateOfBirth.GetValueOrDefault(DateTime.MaxValue)).First()

Would do the trick

Save image from url with curl PHP

Option #1

Instead of picking the binary/raw data into a variable and then writing, you can use CURLOPT_FILE option to directly show a file to the curl for the downloading.

Here is the function:

// takes URL of image and Path for the image as parameter
function download_image1($image_url, $image_file){
    $fp = fopen ($image_file, 'w+');              // open file handle

    $ch = curl_init($image_url);
    // curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false); // enable if you want
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);          // output to file
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 1000);      // some large value to allow curl to run for a long time
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Mozilla/5.0');
    // curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, true);   // Enable this line to see debug prints
    curl_exec($ch);

    curl_close($ch);                              // closing curl handle
    fclose($fp);                                  // closing file handle
}

And here is how you should call it:

// test the download function
download_image1("http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/10773ae6687b55736e171c038b4228d2", "local_image1.jpg");

Option #2

Now, If you want to download a very large file, that case above function may not become handy. You can use the below function this time for handling a big file. Also, you can print progress(in % or in any other format) if you want. Below function is implemented using a callback function that writes a chunk of data in to the file in to the progress of downloading.

// takes URL of image and Path for the image as parameter
function download_image2($image_url){
    $ch = curl_init($image_url);
    // curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false); // enable if you want
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 1000);      // some large value to allow curl to run for a long time
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Mozilla/5.0');
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, "curl_callback");
    // curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, true);   // Enable this line to see debug prints
    curl_exec($ch);

    curl_close($ch);                              // closing curl handle
}

/** callback function for curl */
function curl_callback($ch, $bytes){
    global $fp;
    $len = fwrite($fp, $bytes);
    // if you want, you can use any progress printing here
    return $len;
}

And here is how to call this function:

// test the download function
$image_file = "local_image2.jpg";
$fp = fopen ($image_file, 'w+');              // open file handle
download_image2("http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/10773ae6687b55736e171c038b4228d2");
fclose($fp);                                  // closing file handle

How to find out when an Oracle table was updated the last time

Since you are on 10g, you could potentially use the ORA_ROWSCN pseudocolumn. That gives you an upper bound of the last SCN (system change number) that caused a change in the row. Since this is an increasing sequence, you could store off the maximum ORA_ROWSCN that you've seen and then look only for data with an SCN greater than that.

By default, ORA_ROWSCN is actually maintained at the block level, so a change to any row in a block will change the ORA_ROWSCN for all rows in the block. This is probably quite sufficient if the intention is to minimize the number of rows you process multiple times with no changes if we're talking about "normal" data access patterns. You can rebuild the table with ROWDEPENDENCIES which will cause the ORA_ROWSCN to be tracked at the row level, which gives you more granular information but requires a one-time effort to rebuild the table.

Another option would be to configure something like Change Data Capture (CDC) and to make your OCI application a subscriber to changes to the table, but that also requires a one-time effort to configure CDC.

Vue.js—Difference between v-model and v-bind

v-model
it is two way data binding, it is used to bind html input element when you change input value then bounded data will be change.

v-model is used only for HTML input elements

ex: <input type="text" v-model="name" > 

v-bind
it is one way data binding,means you can only bind data to input element but can't change bounded data changing input element. v-bind is used to bind html attribute
ex:
<input type="text" v-bind:class="abc" v-bind:value="">

<a v-bind:href="home/abc" > click me </a>

VHDL - How should I create a clock in a testbench?

My favoured technique:

signal clk : std_logic := '0'; -- make sure you initialise!
...
clk <= not clk after half_period;

I usually extend this with a finished signal to allow me to stop the clock:

clk <= not clk after half_period when finished /= '1' else '0';

Gotcha alert: Care needs to be taken if you calculate half_period from another constant by dividing by 2. The simulator has a "time resolution" setting, which often defaults to nanoseconds... In which case, 5 ns / 2 comes out to be 2 ns so you end up with a period of 4ns! Set the simulator to picoseconds and all will be well (until you need fractions of a picosecond to represent your clock time anyway!)

Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement <package>

Try installing flask through the powershell using the following command.

pip install --isolated Flask

This will allow installation to avoide environment variables and user configuration.

How to create an HTML button that acts like a link?

If you want to avoid having to use a form or an input and you're looking for a button-looking link, you can create good-looking button links with a div wrapper, an anchor and an h1 tag. You'd potentially want this so you can freely place the link-button around your page. This is especially useful for horizontally centering buttons and having vertically-centered text inside of them. Here's how:

Your button will be comprised of three nested pieces: a div wrapper, an anchor, and an h1, like so:

_x000D_
_x000D_
.link-button-wrapper {_x000D_
    width: 200px;_x000D_
    height: 40px;_x000D_
    box-shadow: inset 0px 1px 0px 0px #ffffff;_x000D_
    border-radius: 4px;_x000D_
    background-color: #097BC0;_x000D_
    box-shadow: 0px 2px 4px gray;_x000D_
    display: block;_x000D_
    border:1px solid #094BC0;_x000D_
}_x000D_
.link-button-wrapper > a {_x000D_
    display: inline-table;_x000D_
    cursor: pointer;_x000D_
    text-decoration: none;_x000D_
    height: 100%;_x000D_
    width:100%;_x000D_
}_x000D_
.link-button-wrapper > a > h1 {_x000D_
    margin: 0 auto;_x000D_
    display: table-cell;_x000D_
    vertical-align: middle;_x000D_
    color: #f7f8f8;_x000D_
    font-size: 18px;_x000D_
    font-family: cabinregular;_x000D_
    text-align: center;_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<div class="link-button-wrapper">_x000D_
    <a href="your/link/here">_x000D_
        <h1>Button!</h1>_x000D_
    </a>_x000D_
</div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

Here's a jsFiddle to check it out and play around with it.

Benefits of this setup: 1. Making the div wrapper display: block makes it easy to center (using margin: 0 auto) and position (while an <a> is inline and harder to positionand not possible to center).

  1. You could just make the <a> display:block, move it around, and style it as a button, but then vertically aligning text inside of it becomes hard.

  2. This allows you to make the <a> display: inline-table and the <h1> display: table-cell, which allows you to use vertical-align: middle on the <h1> and center it vertically (which is always nice on a button). Yes, you could use padding, but if you want your button to dynamically resize, that won't be as clean.

  3. Sometimes when you embed an <a> within a div, only the text is clickable, this setup makes the whole button clickable.

  4. You don't have to deal with forms if you're just trying to move to another page. Forms are meant for inputting information, and they should be reserved for that.

  5. Allows you to cleanly separte the button styling and text styling from each other (stretch advantage? Sure, but CSS can get nasty-looking so it's nice to decompose it).

It definitely made my life easier styling a mobile website for variable-sized screens.

Insert into ... values ( SELECT ... FROM ... )

To add something in the first answer, when we want only few records from another table (in this example only one):

INSERT INTO TABLE1
(COLUMN1, COLUMN2, COLUMN3, COLUMN4) 
VALUES (value1, value2, 
(SELECT COLUMN_TABLE2 
FROM TABLE2
WHERE COLUMN_TABLE2 like "blabla"),
value4);

Extract a substring according to a pattern

If you are using data.table then tstrsplit() is a natural choice:

tstrsplit(string, ":")[[2]]
[1] "E001" "E002" "E003"

This Activity already has an action bar supplied by the window decor

I think you're developing for Android Lollipop, but anyway include this line:

<item name="windowActionBar">false</item> 

to your theme declaration inside of your app/src/main/res/values/styles.xml.

Also, if you're using AppCompatActivity support library of version 22.1 or greater, add this line:

<item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>

Your theme declaration may look like this after all these additions:

<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
    <item name="windowActionBar">false</item>
    <item name="windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>

        throw err;

Targeting only Firefox with CSS

First of all, a disclaimer. I don't really advocate for the solution I present below. The only browser specific CSS I write is for IE (especially IE6), although I wish it wasn't the case.

Now, the solution. You asked it to be elegant so I don't know how elegant is it but it's sure going to target Gecko platforms only.

The trick is only working when JavaScript is enabled and makes use of Mozilla bindings (XBL), which are heavily used internally in Firefox and all other Gecko-based products. For a comparison, this is like the behavior CSS property in IE, but much more powerful.

Three files are involved in my solution:

  1. ff.html: the file to style
  2. ff.xml: the file containg the Gecko bindings
  3. ff.css: Firefox specific styling

ff.html

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
body {
 -moz-binding: url(ff.xml#load-mozilla-css);
}
</style>
</head>
<body>

<h1>This should be red in FF</h1>

</body>
</html>

ff.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<bindings xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/xbl">
    <binding id="load-mozilla-css">
        <implementation>
            <constructor>
            <![CDATA[
                var link = document.createElement("link");
                    link.setAttribute("rel", "stylesheet");
                    link.setAttribute("type", "text/css");
                    link.setAttribute("href", "ff.css");

                document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0]
                        .appendChild(link);
            ]]>
            </constructor>
        </implementation>
    </binding>
</bindings>

ff.css

h1 {
 color: red;
}

Update: The above solution is not that good. It would be better if instead of appending a new LINK element it will add that "firefox" class on the BODY element. And it's possible, just by replacing the above JS with the following:

this.className += " firefox";

The solution is inspired by Dean Edwards' moz-behaviors.

How to unmount, unrender or remove a component, from itself in a React/Redux/Typescript notification message

Just like that nice warning you got, you are trying to do something that is an Anti-Pattern in React. This is a no-no. React is intended to have an unmount happen from a parent to child relationship. Now if you want a child to unmount itself, you can simulate this with a state change in the parent that is triggered by the child. let me show you in code.

class Child extends React.Component {
    constructor(){}
    dismiss() {
        this.props.unmountMe();
    } 
    render(){
        // code
    }
}

class Parent ...
    constructor(){
        super(props)
        this.state = {renderChild: true};
        this.handleChildUnmount = this.handleChildUnmount.bind(this);
    }
    handleChildUnmount(){
        this.setState({renderChild: false});
    }
    render(){
        // code
        {this.state.renderChild ? <Child unmountMe={this.handleChildUnmount} /> : null}
    }

}

this is a very simple example. but you can see a rough way to pass through to the parent an action

That being said you should probably be going through the store (dispatch action) to allow your store to contain the correct data when it goes to render

I've done error/status messages for two separate applications, both went through the store. It's the preferred method... If you'd like I can post some code as to how to do that.

EDIT: Here is how I set up a notification system using React/Redux/Typescript

Few things to note first. this is in typescript so you would need to remove the type declarations :)

I am using the npm packages lodash for operations, and classnames (cx alias) for inline classname assignment.

The beauty of this setup is I use a unique identifier for each notification when the action creates it. (e.g. notify_id). This unique ID is a Symbol(). This way if you want to remove any notification at any point in time you can because you know which one to remove. This notification system will let you stack as many as you want and they will go away when the animation is completed. I am hooking into the animation event and when it finishes I trigger some code to remove the notification. I also set up a fallback timeout to remove the notification just in case the animation callback doesn't fire.

notification-actions.ts

import { USER_SYSTEM_NOTIFICATION } from '../constants/action-types';

interface IDispatchType {
    type: string;
    payload?: any;
    remove?: Symbol;
}

export const notifySuccess = (message: any, duration?: number) => {
    return (dispatch: Function) => {
        dispatch({ type: USER_SYSTEM_NOTIFICATION, payload: { isSuccess: true, message, notify_id: Symbol(), duration } } as IDispatchType);
    };
};

export const notifyFailure = (message: any, duration?: number) => {
    return (dispatch: Function) => {
        dispatch({ type: USER_SYSTEM_NOTIFICATION, payload: { isSuccess: false, message, notify_id: Symbol(), duration } } as IDispatchType);
    };
};

export const clearNotification = (notifyId: Symbol) => {
    return (dispatch: Function) => {
        dispatch({ type: USER_SYSTEM_NOTIFICATION, remove: notifyId } as IDispatchType);
    };
};

notification-reducer.ts

const defaultState = {
    userNotifications: []
};

export default (state: ISystemNotificationReducer = defaultState, action: IDispatchType) => {
    switch (action.type) {
        case USER_SYSTEM_NOTIFICATION:
            const list: ISystemNotification[] = _.clone(state.userNotifications) || [];
            if (_.has(action, 'remove')) {
                const key = parseInt(_.findKey(list, (n: ISystemNotification) => n.notify_id === action.remove));
                if (key) {
                    // mutate list and remove the specified item
                    list.splice(key, 1);
                }
            } else {
                list.push(action.payload);
            }
            return _.assign({}, state, { userNotifications: list });
    }
    return state;
};

                    : null
                }

CSS: Hover one element, effect for multiple elements?

I think the best option for you is to enclose both divs by another div. Then you can make it by CSS in the following way:

<html>
<head>
<style>
  div.both:hover .image { border: 1px solid blue }
  div.both:hover .layer { border: 1px solid blue }
</style>
</head>

<body>
<div class="section">

<div class="both">
  <div class="image"><img src="myImage.jpg" /></div>
  <div class="layer">Lorem Ipsum</div>
</div>

</div>
</body>
</html>

Foreign Key Django Model

I would advise, it is slightly better practise to use string model references for ForeignKey relationships if utilising an app based approach to seperation of logical concerns .

So, expanding on Martijn Pieters' answer:

class Person(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
    birthday = models.DateField()
    anniversary = models.ForeignKey(
        'app_label.Anniversary', on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    address = models.ForeignKey(
        'app_label.Address', on_delete=models.CASCADE)

class Address(models.Model):
    line1 = models.CharField(max_length=150)
    line2 = models.CharField(max_length=150)
    postalcode = models.CharField(max_length=10)
    city = models.CharField(max_length=150)
    country = models.CharField(max_length=150)

class Anniversary(models.Model):
    date = models.DateField()

How to connect to Mysql Server inside VirtualBox Vagrant?

Well, since neither of the given replies helped me, I had to look more, and found solution in this article.

And the answer in a nutshell is the following:

Connecting to MySQL using MySQL Workbench

Connection Method: Standard TCP/IP over SSH
SSH Hostname: <Local VM IP Address (set in PuPHPet)>
SSH Username: vagrant (the default username)
SSH Password: vagrant (the default password)
MySQL Hostname: 127.0.0.1
MySQL Server Port: 3306
Username: root
Password: <MySQL Root Password (set in PuPHPet)>

Using given approach I was able to connect to mysql database in vagrant from host Ubuntu machine using MySQL Workbench and also using Valentina Studio.

How to set the max value and min value of <input> in html5 by javascript or jquery?

jQuery makes it easy to set any attributes for an element - just use the .attr() method:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("input").attr({
       "max" : 10,        // substitute your own
       "min" : 2          // values (or variables) here
    });
});

The document ready handler is not required if your script block appears after the element(s) you want to manipulate.

Using a selector of "input" will set the attributes for all inputs though, so really you should have some way to identify the input in question. If you gave it an id you could say:

$("#idHere").attr(...

...or with a class:

$(".classHere").attr(...

Adobe Reader Command Line Reference

To open a PDF at page 100 the follow works

<path to Adobe Reader> /A "page=100" "<Path To PDF file>"

If you require more than one argument separate them with &

I use the following in a batch file to open the book I'm reading to the page I was up to.

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe /A "page=149&pagemode=none" "D:\books\MCTS(70-562) ASP.Net 3.5 Development.pdf"

The best list of command line args for Adobe Reader I have found is here.
http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/acrobat/PDFOpenParameters.pdf

It's for version 7 but all the arguments I tried worked.

As for closing the file, I think you will need to use the SDK, or if you are opening the file from code you could close the file from code once you have finished with it.

Disable single warning error

If you only want to suppress a warning in a single line of code, you can use the suppress warning specifier:

#pragma warning(suppress: 4101)
// here goes your single line of code where the warning occurs

For a single line of code, this works the same as writing the following:

#pragma warning(push)
#pragma warning(disable: 4101)
// here goes your code where the warning occurs
#pragma warning(pop)

Extracting substrings in Go

It looks like you're confused by the working of slices and the string storage format, which is different from what you have in C.

  • any slice in Go stores the length (in bytes), so you don't have to care about the cost of the len operation : there is no need to count
  • Go strings aren't null terminated, so you don't have to remove a null byte, and you don't have to add 1 after slicing by adding an empty string.

To remove the last char (if it's a one byte char), simply do

inputFmt:=input[:len(input)-1]

For vs. while in C programming?

They are all the same in the work they do. You can do the same things using any of them. But for readability, usability, convenience etc., they differ.

pointer to array c++

j[0]; dereferences a pointer to int, so its type is int.

(*j)[0] has no type. *j dereferences a pointer to an int, so it returns an int, and (*j)[0] attempts to dereference an int. It's like attempting int x = 8; x[0];.

Counting Number of Letters in a string variable

If you don't need the leading and trailing spaces :

str.Trim().Length

Redirect to Action in another controller

This should work

return RedirectToAction("actionName", "controllerName", null);

How to remove the querystring and get only the url?

Here is a simple solution if you are using Laravel:

Str::before($request->getRequestUri(), '?')

Deleting Elements in an Array if Element is a Certain value VBA

It's simple. I did it the following way to get a string with unique values (from two columns of an output sheet):

Dim startpoint, endpoint, ArrCount As Integer
Dim SentToArr() As String

'created by running the first part (check for new entries)
startpoint = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("temp").Range("A1").Value
'set counter on 0
Arrcount = 0 
'last filled row in BG
endpoint = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("BG").Range("G1047854").End(xlUp).Row

'create arr with all data - this could be any data you want!
With ThisWorkbook.Sheets("BG")
    For i = startpoint To endpoint
        ArrCount = ArrCount + 1
        ReDim Preserve SentToArr(1 To ArrCount)
        SentToArr(ArrCount) = .Range("A" & i).Value
        'get prep
        ArrCount = ArrCount + 1
        ReDim Preserve SentToArr(1 To ArrCount)
        SentToArr(ArrCount) = .Range("B" & i).Value
    Next i
End With

'iterate the arr and get a key (l) in each iteration
For l = LBound(SentToArr) To UBound(SentToArr)
    Key = SentToArr(l)
    'iterate one more time and compare the first key (l) with key (k)
    For k = LBound(SentToArr) To UBound(SentToArr)
        'if key = the new key from the second iteration and the position is different fill it as empty
        If Key = SentToArr(k) And Not k = l Then
            SentToArr(k) = ""
        End If
    Next k
Next l

'iterate through all 'unique-made' values, if the value of the pos is 
'empty, skip - you could also create a new array by using the following after the IF below - !! dont forget to reset [ArrCount] as well:
'ArrCount = ArrCount + 1
'ReDim Preserve SentToArr(1 To ArrCount)
'SentToArr(ArrCount) = SentToArr(h)

For h = LBound(SentToArr) To UBound(SentToArr)
    If SentToArr(h) = "" Then GoTo skipArrayPart
    GetEmailArray = GetEmailArray & "; " & SentToArr(h)
skipArrayPart:
Next h

'some clean up
If Left(GetEmailArray, 2) = "; " Then
    GetEmailArray = Right(GetEmailArray, Len(GetEmailArray) - 2)
End If

'show us the money
MsgBox GetEmailArray

Error: request entity too large

In my case it was not enough to add these lines :

var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
app.use(bodyParser.json({limit: '50mb'}));
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({limit: '50mb', extended: true}));

I tried adding the parameterLimit option on urlencoded function as the documentation says and error no longer appears.

The parameterLimit option controls the maximum number of parameters that are allowed in the URL-encoded data. If a request contains more parameters than this value, a 413 will be returned to the client. Defaults to 1000.

Try with this code:

var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
app.use(bodyParser.json({limit: "50mb"}));
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({limit: "50mb", extended: true, parameterLimit:50000}));

What is the right way to POST multipart/form-data using curl?

to upload a file using curl in Windows I found that the path requires escaped double quotes

e.g.

curl -v -F 'upload=@\"C:/myfile.txt\"' URL

How to get JSON from webpage into Python script

In Python 2, json.load() will work instead of json.loads()

import json
import urllib

url = 'https://api.github.com/users?since=100'
output = json.load(urllib.urlopen(url))
print(output)

Unfortunately, that doesn't work in Python 3. json.load is just a wrapper around json.loads that calls read() for a file-like object. json.loads requires a string object and the output of urllib.urlopen(url).read() is a bytes object. So one has to get the file encoding in order to make it work in Python 3.

In this example we query the headers for the encoding and fall back to utf-8 if we don't get one. The headers object is different between Python 2 and 3 so it has to be done different ways. Using requests would avoid all this, but sometimes you need to stick to the standard library.

import json
from six.moves.urllib.request import urlopen

DEFAULT_ENCODING = 'utf-8'
url = 'https://api.github.com/users?since=100'
urlResponse = urlopen(url)

if hasattr(urlResponse.headers, 'get_content_charset'):
    encoding = urlResponse.headers.get_content_charset(DEFAULT_ENCODING)
else:
    encoding = urlResponse.headers.getparam('charset') or DEFAULT_ENCODING

output = json.loads(urlResponse.read().decode(encoding))
print(output)
