The request was rejected because no multipart boundary was found in springboot

The problem is that you are setting the Content-Type by yourself, let it be blank. Google Chrome will do it for you. The multipart Content-Type needs to know the file boundary, and when you remove the Content-Type, Postman will do it automagically for you.

Allowing Untrusted SSL Certificates with HttpClient

A quick and dirty solution is to use the ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback delegate. This allows you to provide your own certificate validation. The validation is applied globally across the whole App Domain.

ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback +=
    (sender, cert, chain, sslPolicyErrors) => true;

I use this mainly for unit testing in situations where I want to run against an endpoint that I am hosting in process and am trying to hit it with a WCF client or the HttpClient.

For production code you may want more fine grained control and would be better off using the WebRequestHandler and its ServerCertificateValidationCallback delegate property (See dtb's answer below). Or ctacke answer using the HttpClientHandler. I am preferring either of these two now even with my integration tests over how I used to do it unless I cannot find any other hook.

How to count no of lines in text file and store the value into a variable using batch script?

@Tony: You can even get rid of the type %file% command.

for /f "tokens=2 delims=:" %%a in ('find /c /v "" %_file%') do set /a _Lines=%%a

For long files this should be even quicker.

Localhost not working in chrome and firefox

I found that when I had this issue that I had to delete the application.config file from my solution. I was pulling the code from co-worker's repository whose config file was mapping to their local computer resources (and not my own). In addition to that, I had to create a new virtual directory as explained in the previous answers.

Find the IP address of the client in an SSH session

One thumb up for @Nikhil Katre's answer :

Simplest command to get the last 10 users logged in to the machine is last|head.

To get all the users simply use last command

The one using who or pinky did what is basically asked. But But But they don't give historical sessions info.

Which might also be interesting if you want to know someone who has just logged in and logged out already when you start this checking.

if it is a multiuser system. I recommand add the user account you are looking for:

last | grep $USER | head

EDIT:

In my case, both $SSH_CLIENT and $SSH_CONNECTION do not exist.

C++ How do I convert a std::chrono::time_point to long and back

time_point objects only support arithmetic with other time_point or duration objects.

You'll need to convert your long to a duration of specified units, then your code should work correctly.

"The POM for ... is missing, no dependency information available" even though it exists in Maven Repository

This is my solution, may be it can helps I use IntelliJ IDE. File -> Setting -> Maven -> Importing change JDK for importer to 1.8( you can change to lower, higher)

JVM heap parameters

Apart from standard Heap parameters -Xms and -Xmx it's also good to know -XX:PermSize and -XX:MaxPermSize, which is used to specify size of Perm Gen space because even though you could have space in other generation in heap you can run out of memory if your perm gen space gets full. This link also has nice overview of some important JVM parameters.

How to take keyboard input in JavaScript?

Since event.keyCode is deprecated, I found the event.key useful in javascript. Below is an example for getting the names of the keyboard keys pressed (using an input element). They are given as a KeyboardEvent key text property:

_x000D_

function setMyKeyDownListener() {_x000D_
    window.addEventListener(_x000D_
      "keydown",_x000D_
      function(event) {MyFunction(event.key)}_x000D_
    )_x000D_
}_x000D_
_x000D_
function MyFunction (the_Key) {_x000D_
    alert("Key pressed is: "+the_Key);_x000D_
}

_x000D_

html { font-size: 4vw; background-color: green; color: white; padding: 1em; }

_x000D_

<body onload="setMyKeyDownListener()">_x000D_
    <div>_x000D_
        <input id="MyInputId">_x000D_
    </div>_x000D_
</body>_x000D_
</html>

_x000D_

How to set Spinner default value to null?

Alternatively, you could override your spinner adapter, and provide an empty view for position 0 in your getView method, and a view with 0dp height in the getDropDownView method.

This way, you have an initial text such as "Select an Option..." that shows up when the spinner is first loaded, but it is not an option for the user to choose (technically it is, but because the height is 0, they can't see it).

How to reset AUTO_INCREMENT in MySQL?

SET @num := 0;
UPDATE your_table SET id = @num := (@num+1);
ALTER TABLE your_table AUTO_INCREMENT =1;

Iterate through every file in one directory

This is my favorite method for being easy to read:

Dir.glob("*/*.txt") do |my_text_file|
  puts "working on: #{my_text_file}..."
end

And you can even extend this to work on all files in subdirs:

Dir.glob("**/*.txt") do |my_text_file| # note one extra "*"
  puts "working on: #{my_text_file}..."
end

Casting LinkedHashMap to Complex Object

You can use ObjectMapper.convertValue(), either value by value or even for the whole list. But you need to know the type to convert to:

POJO pojo = mapper.convertValue(singleObject, POJO.class);
// or:
List<POJO> pojos = mapper.convertValue(listOfObjects, new TypeReference<List<POJO>>() { });

this is functionally same as if you did:

byte[] json = mapper.writeValueAsBytes(singleObject);
POJO pojo = mapper.readValue(json, POJO.class);

but avoids actual serialization of data as JSON, instead using an in-memory event sequence as the intermediate step.

How to obtain the query string from the current URL with JavaScript?

If you happened to use Typescript and have dom in your the lib of tsconfig.json, you can do:

const url: URL = new URL(window.location.href);
const params: URLSearchParams = url.searchParams;
// get target key/value from URLSearchParams object
const yourParamValue: string = params.get('yourParamKey');

// To append, you can also leverage api to avoid the `?` check 
params.append('newKey', 'newValue');

Bootstrap 3 collapsed menu doesn't close on click

I found that after much struggle, trial and error, the best solution for me on jsfiddle. Link to inspiration on jsfiddle.net. I am using bootstrap's navbar navbar-fixed-top with collapse and hamburger toggle. Here is my version on jsfiddle: jsfiddle Scrollspy navbar. I was only getting basic functionality using the instructions on getbootsrap.com. For me, the problem was mostly in the vague directions and js recommended by the getbootstrap site. The best part was that adding this extra bit of js (which does include some of what is mentioned in the above threads) solved several Scrollspy issues for me including:

Collapsed/toggled nav menu hides when nav "section" (e.g. href="#foobar") is clicked (issue addressing this thread).
Active "section" was successfully highlighted (ie. js successfully created class="active")
Annoying vertical scroll bar found on collapsed nav (only on small screens) was eliminated.

NOTE: In the js code shown below (from the second jsfiddle link in my post):

topMenu = $("#myScrollspy"),

...the value "myScrollspy" must match it the id="" in your HTML like so...

<nav id="myScrollspy" class="navbar navbar-default navbar-fixed-top">

Of course you can change that value to whatever value you like.

HTML for the Pause symbol in audio and video control

Unicode Standard for Media Control Symbols

Pause: ??

The Unicode Standard 13.0 (update 2020) provides the Miscellaneous Technical glyphs in the HEX range 2300–23FF

Miscellaneous Technical

Given the extensive Unicode 13.0 documentation, some of the glyphs we can associate to common Media control symbols would be as following:

Keyboard and UI symbols

23CF ⏏︎ Eject media

User interface symbols

23E9 ⏩︎ fast forward
23EA ⏪︎ rewind, fast backwards
23EB ⏫︎ fast increase
23EC ⏬︎ fast decrease
23ED ⏭︎ skip to end, next
23EE ⏮︎ skip to start, previous
23EF ⏯︎ play/pause toggle
23F1 ⏱︎ stopwatch
23F2 ⏲︎ timer clock
23F3 ⏳︎ hourglass
23F4 ⏴︎ reverse, back
23F5 ⏵︎ forward, next, play
23F6 ⏶︎ increase
23F7 ⏷︎ decrease
23F8 ⏸︎ pause
23F9 ⏹︎ stop
23FA ⏺︎ record

Power symbols from ISO 7000:2012

23FB ?︎ standby/power
23FC ?︎ power on/off
23FD ?︎ power on
2B58 ?︎ power off

Power symbol from IEEE 1621-2004

23FE ?︎ power sleep

Use on the Web:

A file must be saved using UTF-8 encoding without BOM (which in most development environments is set by default) in order to instruct the parser how to transform the bytes into characters correctly. <meta charset="utf-8"/> should be used immediately after <head> in a HTML file, and make sure the correct HTTP headers Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 are set.

Examples:

HTML

&#x23E9; Pictograph 
&#x23E9;&#xFE0E; Standardized Variant

CSS

.icon-ff:before { content: "\23E9" }
.icon-ff--standard:before { content: "\23E9\FE0E" }

JavaScript

EL_iconFF.textContent = "\u23E9";
EL_iconFF_standard.textContent = "\u23E9\uFE0E"

Standardized variant

To prevent a glyph from being "color-emojified" ⏩︎ / ⏩ append the code U+FE0E Text Presentation Selector to request a Standardized variant: (example: ⏩︎)

Inconsistencies

Characters in the Unicode range are susceptible to the font-family environment they are used, application, browser, OS, platform.
When unknown or missing - we might see symbols like � or ▯ instead, or even inconsistent behavior due to differences in HTML parser implementations by different vendors.
For example, on Windows Chromium browsers the Standardized Variant suffix U+FE0E is buggy, and such symbols are still better accompanied by CSS i.e: font-family: "Segoe UI Symbol" to force that specific Font over the Colored Emoji (usually recognized as "Segoe UI Emoji") - which defies the purpose of U+FE0E in the first place - time will tell…

Scalable icon fonts

To circumvent problems related to unsupported characters - a viable solution is to use scalable icon font-sets like i.e:

Font Awesome

Player icons - scalable - font awesome

    <div style="width:200px;float:left;display:inline-block;">
        Hello world
    </div>
    <div style="margin-left:200px;">

How can I style an Android Switch?

It's an awesome detailed reply by Janusz. But just for the sake of people who are coming to this page for answers, the easier way is at http://android-holo-colors.com/ (dead link) linked from Android Asset Studio

A good description of all the tools are at AndroidOnRocks.com (site offline now)

However, I highly recommend everybody to read the reply from Janusz as it will make understanding clearer. Use the tool to do stuffs real quick

How to get current timestamp in milliseconds since 1970 just the way Java gets

How to sort with a lambda?

Got it.

sort(mMyClassVector.begin(), mMyClassVector.end(), 
    [](const MyClass & a, const MyClass & b) -> bool

});

I assumed it'd figure out that the > operator returned a bool (per documentation). But apparently it is not so.

How to change the background colour's opacity in CSS

How do I get the difference between two Dates in JavaScript?

If you don't care about the time component, you can use .getDate() and .setDate() to just set the date part.

So to set your end date to 2 weeks after your start date, do something like this:

function GetEndDate(startDate)
{
    var endDate = new Date(startDate.getTime());
    endDate.setDate(endDate.getDate()+14);
    return endDate;
}

To return the difference (in days) between two dates, do this:

function GetDateDiff(startDate, endDate)
{
    return endDate.getDate() - startDate.getDate();
}

Finally, let's modify the first function so it can take the value returned by 2nd as a parameter:

function GetEndDate(startDate, days)
{
    var endDate = new Date(startDate.getTime());
    endDate.setDate(endDate.getDate() + days);
    return endDate;
}

Can I calculate z-score with R?

Username and password in https url

When you put the username and password in front of the host, this data is not sent that way to the server. It is instead transformed to a request header depending on the authentication schema used. Most of the time this is going to be Basic Auth which I describe below. A similar (but significantly less often used) authentication scheme is Digest Auth which nowadays provides comparable security features.

With Basic Auth, the HTTP request from the question will look something like this:

GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: example.com
Authorization: Basic Zm9vOnBhc3N3b3Jk

The hash like string you see there is created by the browser like this: base64_encode(username + ":" + password).

To outsiders of the HTTPS transfer, this information is hidden (as everything else on the HTTP level). You should take care of logging on the client and all intermediate servers though. The username will normally be shown in server logs, but the password won't. This is not guaranteed though. When you call that URL on the client with e.g. curl, the username and password will be clearly visible on the process list and might turn up in the bash history file.

When you send passwords in a GET request as e.g. http://example.com/login.php?username=me&password=secure the username and password will always turn up in server logs of your webserver, application server, caches, ... unless you specifically configure your servers to not log it. This only applies to servers being able to read the unencrypted http data, like your application server or any middleboxes such as loadbalancers, CDNs, proxies, etc. though.

Basic auth is standardized and implemented by browsers by showing this little username/password popup you might have seen already. When you put the username/password into an HTML form sent via GET or POST, you have to implement all the login/logout logic yourself (which might be an advantage and allows you to more control over the login/logout flow for the added "cost" of having to implement this securely again). But you should never transfer usernames and passwords by GET parameters. If you have to, use POST instead. The prevents the logging of this data by default.

When implementing an authentication mechanism with a user/password entry form and a subsequent cookie-based session as it is commonly used today, you have to make sure that the password is either transported with POST requests or one of the standardized authentication schemes above only.

Concluding I could say, that transfering data that way over HTTPS is likely safe, as long as you take care that the password does not turn up in unexpected places. But that advice applies to every transfer of any password in any way.

Summarizing count and conditional aggregate functions on the same factor

Assuming that your original dataset is similar to the one you created (i.e. with NA as character. You could specify na.strings while reading the data using read.table. But, I guess NAs would be detected automatically.

The price column is factor which needs to be converted to numeric class. When you use as.numeric, all the non-numeric elements (i.e. "NA", FALSE) gets coerced to NA) with a warning.

library(dplyr)
df %>%
     mutate(price=as.numeric(as.character(price))) %>%  
     group_by(company, year, product) %>%
     summarise(total.count=n(), 
               count=sum(is.na(price)), 
               avg.price=mean(price,na.rm=TRUE),
               max.price=max(price, na.rm=TRUE))

data

I am using the same dataset (except the ... row) that was showed.

df = tbl_df(data.frame(company=c("Acme", "Meca", "Emca", "Acme", "Meca","Emca"),
 year=c("2011", "2010", "2009", "2011", "2010", "2013"), product=c("Wrench", "Hammer",
 "Sonic Screwdriver", "Fairy Dust", "Kindness", "Helping Hand"), price=c("5.67",
 "7.12", "12.99", "10.99", "NA",FALSE)))

How to reposition Chrome Developer Tools

How to get index of an item in java.util.Set

One solution (though not very pretty) is to use Apache common List/Set mutation

import org.apache.commons.collections.list.SetUniqueList;

final List<Long> vertexes=SetUniqueList.setUniqueList(new LinkedList<>());

it is a list without duplicates

https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-collections/javadocs/api-3.2.2/index.html?org/apache/commons/collections/list/SetUniqueList.html

Windows service on Local Computer started and then stopped error

The account which is running the service might not have mapped the D:-drive (they are user-specific). Try sharing the directory, and use full UNC-path in your backupConfig.

Your watcher of type FileSystemWatcher is a local variable, and is out of scope when the OnStart method is done. You probably need it as an instance or class variable.

Interfaces vs. abstract classes

Another thing to consider is that, since there is no multiple inheritance, if you want a class to be able to implement/inherit from your interface/abstract class, but inherit from another base class, use an interface.

How to fix error "Updating Maven Project". Unsupported IClasspathEntry kind=4?

This issue has been fixed in m2e 1.5.0 which is available for Eclipse Kepler (4.3) and Luna (4.4)

Please see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=374332#c14

The problem is caused by the fact that STS (the Spring IDE/Eclipse), as well Eclipse and other Eclipse based IDE's, use the m2e(clipse) plugin but that eclipse:eclipse has been probably been run on the project. When m2e encounters a "var" .classpath entry, it throws this error.

The update sites are specified at the following url:
http://eclipse.org/m2e/m2e-downloads.html

If you can't use m2e 1.5.0 for any reason, then :

Disable the maven nature for the project (via the right-click menu)
Run mvn eclipse:clean (while your project is open in STS/eclipse). Depending on the timing, you might need to do a refresh or two on the project before re-enabling the maven nature. You should be able to see that your project has lost it's Maven nature. (The eclipse:clean goal just deletes the .project, .classpath and .settings/ files/directories. You can also just remove those files (again while the project is open) instead of running mvn eclipse:clean.)
Re-enable the maven nature.
(Most of the time, this can be done by right-clicking on the project in question in the package explorer pane, and then choosing 'Configure'-> 'Convert to Maven Project')

How to add minutes to my Date

Just for anybody who is interested. I was working on an iOS project that required similar functionality so I ended porting the answer by @jeznag to swift

private func addMinutesToDate(minutes: Int, beforeDate: NSDate) -> NSDate {
    var SIXTY_SECONDS = 60

    var m = (Double) (minutes * SIXTY_SECONDS)
    var c =  beforeDate.timeIntervalSince1970  + m
    var newDate = NSDate(timeIntervalSince1970: c)

    return newDate
}

WebRTC vs Websockets: If WebRTC can do Video, Audio, and Data, why do I need Websockets?

WebSockets:

Ratified IETF standard (6455) with support across all modern browsers and even legacy browsers using web-socket-js polyfill.
Uses HTTP compatible handshake and default ports making it much easier to use with existing firewall, proxy and web server infrastructure.
Much simpler browser API. Basically one constructor with a couple of callbacks.
Client/browser to server only.
Only supports reliable, in-order transport because it is built On TCP. This means packet drops can delay all subsequent packets.

WebRTC:

~~Just beginning to be supported by Chrome and Firefox. MS has proposed an incompatible variant. The DataChannel component is not yet compatible between Firefox and Chrome.~~
WebRTC is browser to browser in ideal circumstances but even then almost always requires a signaling server to setup the connections. The most common signaling server solutions right now use WebSockets.
Transport layer is configurable with application able to choose if connection is in-order and/or reliable.
Complex and multilayered browser API. There are JS libs to provide a simpler API but these are young and rapidly changing (just like WebRTC itself).

What is the equivalent of ngShow and ngHide in Angular 2+?

My issue was displaying/hiding a mat-table on a button click using <ng-container *ngIf="myVar">. The 'loading' of the table was very slow with 300 records at 2-3 seconds.

The data is loaded using a subscribe in ngOnInit(), and is available and ready to be used in the template, however the 'loading' of the table in the template became increasingly slower with the increase in number of rows.

My solution was to replace the *ngIf with:

_x000D_

<div [style.display]="activeSelected ? 'block' : 'none'">

_x000D_

. Now the table loads instantly when the button is clicked.

Entity Framework code-first: migration fails with update-database, forces unneccessary(?) add-migration

I understand this is a very old thread. However, wanted to share how I encountered the message in my scenario and in case it might help others

I created an Add-Migration <Migration_name> on my local machine. Didn't run the update-database yet.
Meanwhile, there were series of commits in parent branch that I must down merge. The merge also had a migration to it and when I fixed conflicts, I ended up having 2 migrations that are added to my project but are not executed via update-database.
Now I don't use enable-migrations -force in my application. Rather my preferred way is execute the update-database -script command to control the target migrations I need.
So, when I attempted the above command, I get the error in question.

My solution was to run update-database -Script -TargetMigration <migration_name_from_merge> and then my update-database -Script -TargetMigration <migration_name> which generated 2 scripts that I was able to run manually on my local db.

Needless to say above experience is on my local machine.

Get current time in hours and minutes

how to instanceof List<MyType>?

The major concern here is that the collections don't keep the type in the definition. The types are only available in runtime. I came up with a function to test complex collections (it has one constraint though).

Check if the object is an instance of a generic collection. In order to represent a collection,

No classes, always false
One class, it is not a collection and returns the result of instanceof evaluation
To represent a List or Set, the type of the list comes next e.g. {List, Integer} for List<Integer>
To represent a Map, the key and value types come next e.g. {Map, String, Integer} for Map<String, Integer>

More complex use cases could be generated using the same rules. For example in order to represent List<Map<String, GenericRecord>>, it can be called as

    Map<String, Integer> map = new HashMap<>();
    map.put("S1", 1);
    map.put("S2", 2);
    List<Map<String, Integer> obj = new ArrayList<>();
    obj.add(map);
    isInstanceOfGenericCollection(obj, List.class, List.class, Map.class, String.class, GenericRecord.class);

Note that this implementation doesn't support nested types in the Map. Hence, the type of key and value should be a class and not a collection. But it shouldn't be hard to add it.

    public static boolean isInstanceOfGenericCollection(Object object, Class<?>... classes) {
        if (classes.length == 0) return false;
        if (classes.length == 1) return classes[0].isInstance(object);
        if (classes[0].equals(List.class))
            return object instanceof List && ((List<?>) object).stream().allMatch(item -> isInstanceOfGenericCollection(item, Arrays.copyOfRange(classes, 1, classes.length)));
        if (classes[0].equals(Set.class))
            return object instanceof Set && ((Set<?>) object).stream().allMatch(item -> isInstanceOfGenericCollection(item, Arrays.copyOfRange(classes, 1, classes.length)));
        if (classes[0].equals(Map.class))
            return object instanceof Map &&
                    ((Map<?, ?>) object).keySet().stream().allMatch(classes[classes.length - 2]::isInstance) &&
                    ((Map<?, ?>) object).values().stream().allMatch(classes[classes.length - 1]::isInstance);
        return false;
    }

Visibility of global variables in imported modules

This post is just an observation for Python behaviour I encountered. Maybe the advices you read above don't work for you if you made the same thing I did below.

Namely, I have a module which contains global/shared variables (as suggested above):

#sharedstuff.py

globaltimes_randomnode=[]
globalist_randomnode=[]

Then I had the main module which imports the shared stuff with:

import sharedstuff as shared

and some other modules that actually populated these arrays. These are called by the main module. When exiting these other modules I can clearly see that the arrays are populated. But when reading them back in the main module, they were empty. This was rather strange for me (well, I am new to Python). However, when I change the way I import the sharedstuff.py in the main module to:

from globals import *

it worked (the arrays were populated).

Just sayin'

"for" vs "each" in Ruby

See "The Evils of the For Loop" for a good explanation (there's one small difference considering variable scoping).

Using each is considered more idiomatic use of Ruby.

How to push a docker image to a private repository

Simple working solution:

Go here https://hub.docker.com/ to create a PRIVATE repository with name for example johnsmith/private-repository this is the NAME/REPOSITORY you will use for your image when building the image.

First, docker login
Second, I use "docker build -t johnsmith/private-repository:01 ." (where 01 is my version name) to create image, and I use "docker images" to confirm the image created such as in this yellow box below: (sorry I can not paste the table format but the text string only)

johnsmith/private-repository(REPOSITORY) 01(TAG) c5f4a2861d6e(IMAGE ID) 2 days ago(CREATED) 305MB(SIZE)

Third, I use docker push johnsmith/private-repository:01 (Your private repo will be here example https://hub.docker.com/r/johnsmith/private-repository/)

Done!

How do I get specific properties with Get-AdUser

This worked for me as well:

Get-ADUser -Filter * -SearchBase "ou=OU,dc=Domain,dc=com" -Properties Enabled, CanonicalName, Displayname, Givenname, Surname, EmployeeNumber, EmailAddress, Department, StreetAddress, Title | select Enabled, CanonicalName, Displayname, GivenName, Surname, EmployeeNumber, EmailAddress, Department, Title | Export-CSV "C:\output.csv"

What's the best way to join on the same table twice?

My problem was to display the record even if no or only one phone number exists (full address book). Therefore I used a LEFT JOIN which takes all records from the left, even if no corresponding exists on the right. For me this works in Microsoft Access SQL (they require the parenthesis!)

SELECT t.PhoneNumber1, t.PhoneNumber2, t.PhoneNumber3
   t1.SomeOtherFieldForPhone1, t2.someOtherFieldForPhone2, t3.someOtherFieldForPhone3
FROM 
(
 (
  Table1 AS t LEFT JOIN Table2 AS t3 ON t.PhoneNumber3 = t3.PhoneNumber
 )
 LEFT JOIN Table2 AS t2 ON t.PhoneNumber2 = t2.PhoneNumber
)
LEFT JOIN Table2 AS t1 ON t.PhoneNumber1 = t1.PhoneNumber;

Creating self signed certificate for domain and subdomains - NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID

As Rahul stated, it is a common Chrome and an OSX bug. I was having similar issues in the past. In fact I finally got tired of making the 2 [yes I know it is not many] additional clicks when testing a local site for work.

As for a possible workaround to this issue [using Windows], I would using one of the many self signing certificate utilities available.

Recommended Steps:

Create a Self Signed Cert
Import Certificate into Windows Certificate Manager
Import Certificate in Chrome Certificate Manager
NOTE: Step 3 will resolve the issue experienced once Google addresses the bug...considering the time in has been stale there is no ETA in the foreseeable future.**

As much as I prefer to use Chrome for development, I have found myself in Firefox Developer Edition lately. which does not have this issue.

Hope this helps :)

How can I display an image from a file in Jupyter Notebook?

Courtesy of this page, I found this worked when the suggestions above didn't:

import PIL.Image
from cStringIO import StringIO
import IPython.display
import numpy as np
def showarray(a, fmt='png'):
    a = np.uint8(a)
    f = StringIO()
    PIL.Image.fromarray(a).save(f, fmt)
    IPython.display.display(IPython.display.Image(data=f.getvalue()))

Typescript empty object for a typed variable

Really depends on what you're trying to do. Types are documentation in typescript, so you want to show intention about how this thing is supposed to be used when you're creating the type.

Option 1: If Users might have some but not all of the attributes during their lifetime

Make all attributes optional

type User = {
  attr0?: number
  attr1?: string
}

Option 2: If variables containing Users may begin null

type User = {
...
}
let u1: User = null;

Though, really, here if the point is to declare the User object before it can be known what will be assigned to it, you probably want to do let u1:User without any assignment.

Option 3: What you probably want

Really, the premise of typescript is to make sure that you are conforming to the mental model you outline in types in order to avoid making mistakes. If you want to add things to an object one-by-one, this is a habit that TypeScript is trying to get you not to do.

More likely, you want to make some local variables, then assign to the User-containing variable when it's ready to be a full-on User. That way you'll never be left with a partially-formed User. Those things are gross.

let attr1: number = ...
let attr2: string = ...
let user1: User = {
  attr1: attr1,
  attr2: attr2
}

Convert Java object to XML string

As A4L mentioning, you can use StringWriter. Providing here example code:

private static String jaxbObjectToXML(Customer customer) {
    String xmlString = "";
    try {
        JAXBContext context = JAXBContext.newInstance(Customer.class);
        Marshaller m = context.createMarshaller();

        m.setProperty(Marshaller.JAXB_FORMATTED_OUTPUT, Boolean.TRUE); // To format XML

        StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
        m.marshal(customer, sw);
        xmlString = sw.toString();

    } catch (JAXBException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    return xmlString;
}

Alternative to the HTML Bold tag

What you use instead of the b element depends on the semantics of that element's content.

The elements b and strong have co-existed for a long time by now. In HTML 4.01, which has been superseded by HTML5, strong was meant to be used for "strong emphasis", i.e. stronger emphasis than the em element (which just indicated emphasis). In HTML 5.2, strong "represents strong importance, seriousness, or urgency for its contents"; the aspects of "seriousness" and "urgency" are new in the specification compared to HTML 4.01. So if you used b to represent content that was important, serious or urgent, it is recommended that you use strong instead. If you want, you can differentiate between these different semantics by adding meaningful class attributes, e.g. ... and ... and use appropriate CSS selectors to style these types of "emphasis" different, e.g. using different colours and font sizes (e.g. in your CSS file: strong.warning { color: red; background-color: transparent; border: 2px solid red; }.).
Another alternative to b is the em element, which in HTML 5.2 "represents stress emphasis of its contents". Note that this element is usually rendered in italics (and has therefore often been recommended as a replacement for the i element).
I would resist the temptation to follow the advice from some of the other answers to write something like .... Firstly, the class attribute doesn't mean anything in non-visual contexts (listening to an ePub book, text to speech generally, screen readers, Braille); secondly, people maintaining the code will need to read the actual content to figure out why something was bolded.
If you used b for entire paragraphs or headings (as opposed to shorter spans of texts, which is the use case in the previous bullet point), I would replace it with appropriate class attributes or, if applicable, WAI-ARIA roles such as alert for a live region "with important, and usually time-sensitive, information". As mentioned above, you should use "semantic" class attribute values, so that people maintaining the code (including your future self) can figure out why something was bolded.
Not all uses of the b may represent something semantic. For example, when you are converting printed documents into HTML, text may be bolded for reasons that have nothing to do with emphasis or importance but as a visual guide. For example, the headwords in dictionaries aren't any more "serious", "urgent" than the other content, so you may keep the b element and optionallly add a meaningful class attribute, e.g.  or replace the tag with  based on the argument that b has no meaning in non-visual contexts.

In your CSS file (instead of using style attributes, as some of the other answers have recommended), you have several options for styling the "bold" or important text:

specifying different colours (foreground and/or background);
specifying different font faces;
specifying borders (see example above);
using different font weights using the font-weight property, which allows more values than just normal and bold, namely normal | bold | bolder | lighter | 100 | 200 | 300 | 400 | 500 | 600 | 700 | 800 | 900,
etc.

Note that support for numeric font-weight values has not always been great.

Remove the legend on a matplotlib figure

I made a legend by adding it to the figure, not to an axis (matplotlib 2.2.2). To remove it, I set the legends attribute of the figure to an empty list:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig = plt.figure()
ax1 = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax2 = ax1.twinx()

ax1.plot(range(10), range(10, 20), label='line 1')
ax2.plot(range(10), range(30, 20, -1), label='line 2')

fig.legend()

fig.legends = []

plt.show()

Plot multiple columns on the same graph in R

To select columns to plot, I added 2 lines to Vincent Zoonekynd's answer:

#convert to tall/long format(from wide format)
col_plot = c("A","B")
dlong <- melt(d[,c("Xax", col_plot)], id.vars="Xax")  

#"value" and "variable" are default output column names of melt()
ggplot(dlong, aes(Xax,value, col=variable)) +
  geom_point() + 
  geom_smooth()

Google "tidy data" to know more about tall(or long)/wide format.

malloc for struct and pointer in C

When you malloc(sizeof(struct_name)) it automatically allocates memory for the full size of the struct, you don't need to malloc each element inside.

Use -fsanitize=address flag to check how you used your program memory.

function is not defined error in Python

Yes, but in what file is pyth_test's definition declared in? Is it also located before it's called?

Edit:

To put it into perspective, create a file called test.py with the following contents:

def pyth_test (x1, x2):
    print x1 + x2

pyth_test(1,2)

Now run the following command:

python test.py

You should see the output you desire. Now if you are in an interactive session, it should go like this:

>>> def pyth_test (x1, x2):
...     print x1 + x2
... 
>>> pyth_test(1,2)
3
>>>

I hope this explains how the declaration works.

To give you an idea of how the layout works, we'll create a few files. Create a new empty folder to keep things clean with the following:

myfunction.py

def pyth_test (x1, x2):
    print x1 + x2

program.py

#!/usr/bin/python

# Our function is pulled in here
from myfunction import pyth_test

pyth_test(1,2)

Now if you run:

python program.py

It will print out 3. Now to explain what went wrong, let's modify our program this way:

# Python: Huh? where's pyth_test?
# You say it's down there, but I haven't gotten there yet!
pyth_test(1,2)

# Our function is pulled in here
from myfunction import pyth_test

Now let's see what happens:

$ python program.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "program.py", line 3, in <module>
    pyth_test(1,2)
NameError: name 'pyth_test' is not defined

As noted, python cannot find the module for the reasons outlined above. For that reason, you should keep your declarations at top.

Now then, if we run the interactive python session:

>>> from myfunction import pyth_test
>>> pyth_test(1,2)
3

The same process applies. Now, package importing isn't all that simple, so I recommend you look into how modules work with Python. I hope this helps and good luck with your learnings!

Parse (split) a string in C++ using string delimiter (standard C++)

Answer is already there, but selected-answer uses erase function which is very costly, think of some very big string(in MBs). Therefore I use below function.

vector<string> split(const string& i_str, const string& i_delim)
{
    vector<string> result;
    
    size_t found = i_str.find(i_delim);
    size_t startIndex = 0;

    while(found != string::npos)
    {
        result.push_back(string(i_str.begin()+startIndex, i_str.begin()+found));
        startIndex = found + i_delim.size();
        found = i_str.find(i_delim, startIndex);
    }
    if(startIndex != i_str.size())
        result.push_back(string(i_str.begin()+startIndex, i_str.end()));
    return result;      
}

Append text using StreamWriter

Also look at log4net, which makes logging to 1 or more event stores — whether it's the console, the Windows event log, a text file, a network pipe, a SQL database, etc. — pretty trivial. You can even filter stuff in its configuration, for instance, so that only log records of a particular severity (say ERROR or FATAL) from a single component or assembly are directed to a particular event store.

Styling an anchor tag to look like a submit button

The best you can get with simple styles would be something like:

.likeabutton {
    text-decoration: none; font: menu;
    display: inline-block; padding: 2px 8px;
    background: ButtonFace; color: ButtonText;
    border-style: solid; border-width: 2px;
    border-color: ButtonHighlight ButtonShadow ButtonShadow ButtonHighlight;
}
.likeabutton:active {
    border-color: ButtonShadow ButtonHighlight ButtonHighlight ButtonShadow;
}

(Possibly with some kind of fix to stop IE6-IE7 treating focused buttons as being ‘active’.)

This won't necessarily look exactly like the buttons on the native desktop, though; indeed, for many desktop themes it won't be possible to reproduce the look of a button in simple CSS.

However, you can ask the browser to use native rendering, which is best of all:

.likeabutton {
    appearance: button;
    -moz-appearance: button;
    -webkit-appearance: button;
    text-decoration: none; font: menu; color: ButtonText;
    display: inline-block; padding: 2px 8px;
}

Unfortunately, as you may have guessed from the browser-specific prefixes, this is a CSS3 feature that isn't suppoorted everywhere yet. In particular IE and Opera will ignore it. But if you include the other styles as backup, the browsers that do support appearance drop that property, preferring the explicit backgrounds and borders!

What you might do is use the appearance styles as above by default, and do JavaScript fixups as necessary, eg.:

<script type="text/javascript">
    var r= document.documentElement;
    if (!('appearance' in r || 'MozAppearance' in r || 'WebkitAppearance' in r)) {
        // add styles for background and border colours
        if (/* IE6 or IE7 */)
            // add mousedown, mouseup handlers to push the button in, if you can be bothered
        else
            // add styles for 'active' button
    }
</script>

Android 8: Cleartext HTTP traffic not permitted

While the working answer, for me, was this by @PabloCegarra:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
    <base-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
        <trust-anchors>
            <certificates src="system" />
        </trust-anchors>
    </base-config>
</network-security-config>

You may receive a security warning regarding the cleartextTrafficPermitted="true"

If you know the domains to 'white list' you should mix both accepted answer and the above one:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
    <base-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="false">
        <trust-anchors>
            <certificates src="system" />
        </trust-anchors>
    </base-config>
    <domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
        <domain includeSubdomains="true">books.google.com</domain>
        <trust-anchors>
            <certificates src="system" />
        </trust-anchors>
    </domain-config>
</network-security-config>

This code is working for me, but my app needs to retrieve data from books.google.com only. By this way the security warning disappears.

PHP - Modify current object in foreach loop

Surely using array_map and if using a container implementing ArrayAccess to derive objects is just a smarter, semantic way to go about this?

Array map semantics are similar across most languages and implementations that I've seen. It's designed to return a modified array based upon input array element (high level ignoring language compile/runtime type preference); a loop is meant to perform more logic.

For retrieving objects by ID / PK, depending upon if you are using SQL or not (it seems suggested), I'd use a filter to ensure I get an array of valid PK's, then implode with comma and place into an SQL IN() clause to return the result-set. It makes one call instead of several via SQL, optimising a bit of the call->wait cycle. Most importantly my code would read well to someone from any language with a degree of competence and we don't run into mutability problems.

<?php

$arr = [0,1,2,3,4];
$arr2 = array_map(function($value) { return is_int($value) ? $value*2 : $value; }, $arr);
var_dump($arr);
var_dump($arr2);

<?php

$arr = [0,1,2,3,4];
foreach($arr as $i => $item) {
    $arr[$i] = is_int($item) ? $item * 2 : $item;
}
var_dump($arr);

If you know what you are doing will never have mutability problems (bearing in mind if you intend upon overwriting $arr you could always $arr = array_map and be explicit.

Notepad++ - How can I replace blank lines

This should get your sorted:

Highlight from the end of the first line, to the very beginning of the third line.
Use the Ctrl + H to bring up the 'Find and Replace' window.
The highlighed region will already be plased in the 'Find' textbox.
Replace with: \r\n
'Replace All' will then remove all the additional line spaces not required.

Here's how it should look: enter image description here

How can I change IIS Express port for a site

If we are talking about a WebSite, not web app, my issue was that the actual .sln folder was somewhere else than the website, and I had not noticed. Look for the .sln path and then for the .vs (hidden) folder there.

How to capitalize first letter of each word, like a 2-word city?

There's a good answer here:

function toTitleCase(str) {
    return str.replace(/\w\S*/g, function(txt){
        return txt.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + txt.substr(1).toLowerCase();
    });
}

or in ES6:

var text = "foo bar loo zoo moo";
text = text.toLowerCase()
    .split(' ')
    .map((s) => s.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + s.substring(1))
    .join(' ');

I just did this and it does what I want it to do.

How to style HTML5 range input to have different color before and after slider?

Building on top of @dargue3's answer, if you want the thumb to be larger than the track, you want to fully take advantage of the <input type="range" /> element and go cross browser, you need a little extra lines of JS & CSS.

On Chrome/Mozilla you can use the linear-gradient technique, but you need to adjust the ratio based on the min, max, value attributes as mentioned here by @Attila O.. You need to make sure you are not applying this on Edge, otherwise the thumb is not displayed. @Geoffrey Lalloué explains this in more detail here.

Another thing worth mentioning, is that you need to adjust the rangeEl.style.height = "20px"; on IE/Older. Simply put this is because in this case "the height is not applied to the track but rather the whole input including the thumb". fiddle

Working with select using AngularJS's ng-options

I hope the following will work for you.

<select class="form-control"
        ng-model="selectedOption"
        ng-options="option.name + ' (' + (option.price | currency:'USD$') + ')' for option in options">
</select>

How to access custom attributes from event object in React?

I think it's recommended to bind all methods where you need to use this.setState method which is defined in the React.Component class, inside the constructor, in your case you constructor should be like

    constructor() {
        super()
        //This binding removeTag is necessary to make `this` work in the callback
        this.removeTag = this.removeTag.bind(this)
    }
    removeTag(event){
        console.log(event.target)
        //use Object destructuring to fetch all element values''
        const {style, dataset} = event.target
        console.log(style)
        console.log(dataset.tag)
    }
   render() {
   ...
      <a data-tag={i} style={showStyle} onClick={this.removeTag.bind(null, i)}></a>
   ...},

Object variable or With block variable not set (Error 91)

As I wrote in my comment, the solution to your problem is to write the following:

Set hyperLinkText = hprlink.Range

Set is needed because TextRange is a class, so hyperLinkText is an object; as such, if you want to assign it, you need to make it point to the actual object that you need.

What is the opposite of :hover (on mouse leave)?

Although answers here are sufficient, I really think W3Schools example on this issue is very straightforward (it cleared up the confusion (for me) right away).

Use the :hover selector to change the style of a button when you move the mouse over it.

Tip: Use the transition-duration property to determine the speed of the "hover" effect:

Example
.button {
    -webkit-transition-duration: 0.4s; /* Safari & Chrome */
    transition-duration: 0.4s;
}

.button:hover {
    background-color: #4CAF50; /* Green */
    color: white;
}

In summary, for transitions where you want the "enter" and "exit" animations to be the same, you need to employ transitions on the main selector .button rather than the hover selector .button:hover. For transitions where you want the "enter" and "exit" animations to be different, you will need specify different main selector and hover selector transitions.

AngularJS For Loop with Numbers & Ranges

Hi you can achieve this using pure html using AngularJS (NO Directive is required!)

<div ng-app="myapp" ng-controller="YourCtrl" ng-init="x=[5];">
  <div ng-if="i>0" ng-repeat="i in x">
    <!-- this content will repeat for 5 times. -->
    <table class="table table-striped">
      <tr ng-repeat="person in people">
         <td>{{ person.first + ' ' + person.last }}</td>
      </tr>
    </table>
    <p ng-init="x.push(i-1)"></p>
  </div>
</div>

Java Strings: "String s = new String("silly");"

I would just add that Java has Copy constructors...

Well, that's an ordinary constructor with an object of same type as argument.

jQuery: using a variable as a selector

You're thinking too complicated. It's actually just $('#'+openaddress).

Actionbar notification count icon (badge) like Google has

Edit Since version 26 of the support library (or androidx) you no longer need to implement a custom OnLongClickListener to display the tooltip. Simply call this:

TooltipCompat.setTooltipText(menu_hotlist, getString(R.string.hint_show_hot_message));

I'll just share my code in case someone wants something like this: enter image description here

A 64x64 pixel image with 10 pixel wide paddings from all sides. You are supposed to have 8 pixel wide paddings, but I find most default items being slightly smaller than that. Of course, you'll want to use different sizes for different densities.

Error in file(file, "rt") : cannot open the connection

One better check that can be done if you get such error while accessing a file is to use the file.exists("file_path/file_name") function. This function will return TRUE if the file is existing and accessible, else False.

How can I clear the Scanner buffer in Java?

This should fix it...

Scanner in=new Scanner(System.in);
    int rounds = 0;
    while (rounds < 1 || rounds > 3) {
        System.out.print("How many rounds? ");
        if (in.hasNextInt()) {
            rounds = in.nextInt();
        } else {
            System.out.println("Invalid input. Please try again.");
            in.next(); // -->important
            System.out.println();
        }
        // Clear buffer
    }
    System.out.print(rounds+" rounds.");

How to create Drawable from resource

You must get it via compatible way, others are deprecated:

Drawable drawable = ResourcesCompat.getDrawable(context.getResources(), R.drawable.my_drawable, null);

Is there an equivalent method to C's scanf in Java?

Take a look at this site, it explains two methods for reading from console in java, using Scanner or the classical InputStreamReader from System.in.

Following code is taken from cited website:

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;

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

    System.out.println("Enter something here : ");

    try{
        BufferedReader bufferRead = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
        String s = bufferRead.readLine();

        System.out.println(s);
    }
    catch(IOException e)
    {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

  }
}

import java.util.Scanner;

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

      System.out.println("Enter something here : ");

       String sWhatever;

       Scanner scanIn = new Scanner(System.in);
       sWhatever = scanIn.nextLine();

       scanIn.close();            
       System.out.println(sWhatever);
  }
}

How to generate and validate a software license key?

Simple answer - No matter what scheme you use it can be cracked.

Don't punish honest customers with a system meant to prevent hackers, as hackers will crack it regardless.

A simple hashed code tied to their email or similar is probably good enough. Hardware based IDs always become an issue when people need to reinstall or update hardware.

Good thread on the issue: http://discuss.joelonsoftware.com/default.asp?biz.5.82298.34

How can I get the behavior of GNU's readlink -f on a Mac?

Better late than never, I suppose. I was motivated to develop this specifically because my Fedora scripts weren't working on the Mac. The problem is dependencies and Bash. Macs don't have them, or if they do, they are often somewhere else (another path). Dependency path manipulation in a cross-platform Bash script is a headache at best and a security risk at worst - so it's best to avoid their use, if possible.

The function get_realpath() below is simple, Bash-centric, and no dependencies are required. I uses only the Bash builtins echo and cd. It is also fairly secure, as everything gets tested at each stage of the way and it returns error conditions.

If you don't want to follow symlinks, then put set -P at the front of the script, but otherwise cd should resolve the symlinks by default. It's been tested with file arguments that are {absolute | relative | symlink | local} and it returns the absolute path to the file. So far we've not had any problems with it.

function get_realpath() {

if [[ -f "$1" ]]
then
    # file *must* exist
    if cd "$(echo "${1%/*}")" &>/dev/null
    then
        # file *may* not be local
        # exception is ./file.ext
        # try 'cd .; cd -;' *works!*
        local tmppwd="$PWD"
        cd - &>/dev/null
    else
        # file *must* be local
        local tmppwd="$PWD"
    fi
else
    # file *cannot* exist
    return 1 # failure
fi

# reassemble realpath
echo "$tmppwd"/"${1##*/}"
return 0 # success

}

You can combine this with other functions get_dirname, get_filename, get_stemname and validate_path. These can be found at our GitHub repository as realpath-lib (full disclosure - this is our product but we offer it free to the community without any restrictions). It also could serve as a instructional tool - it's well documented.

We've tried our best to apply so-called 'modern Bash' practices, but Bash is a big subject and I'm certain there will always be room for improvement. It requires Bash 4+ but could be made to work with older versions if they are still around.

sed one-liner to convert all uppercase to lowercase?

Here are many solutions :

To upercaser with perl, tr, sed and awk

perl -ne 'print uc'
perl -npe '$_=uc'
perl -npe 'tr/[a-z]/[A-Z]/'
perl -npe 'tr/a-z/A-Z/'
tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]'
sed y/abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz/ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ/
sed 's/\([a-z]\)/\U\1/g'
sed 's/.*/\U&/'
awk '{print toupper($0)}'

To lowercase with perl, tr, sed and awk

perl -ne 'print lc'
perl -npe '$_=lc'
perl -npe 'tr/[A-Z]/[a-z]/'
perl -npe 'tr/A-Z/a-z/'
tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'
sed y/ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ/abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz/
sed 's/\([A-Z]\)/\L\1/g'
sed 's/.*/\L&/'
awk '{print tolower($0)}'

Complicated bash to lowercase :

while read v;do v=${v//A/a};v=${v//B/b};v=${v//C/c};v=${v//D/d};v=${v//E/e};v=${v//F/f};v=${v//G/g};v=${v//H/h};v=${v//I/i};v=${v//J/j};v=${v//K/k};v=${v//L/l};v=${v//M/m};v=${v//N/n};v=${v//O/o};v=${v//P/p};v=${v//Q/q};v=${v//R/r};v=${v//S/s};v=${v//T/t};v=${v//U/u};v=${v//V/v};v=${v//W/w};v=${v//X/x};v=${v//Y/y};v=${v//Z/z};echo "$v";done

Complicated bash to uppercase :

while read v;do v=${v//a/A};v=${v//b/B};v=${v//c/C};v=${v//d/D};v=${v//e/E};v=${v//f/F};v=${v//g/G};v=${v//h/H};v=${v//i/I};v=${v//j/J};v=${v//k/K};v=${v//l/L};v=${v//m/M};v=${v//n/N};v=${v//o/O};v=${v//p/P};v=${v//q/Q};v=${v//r/R};v=${v//s/S};v=${v//t/T};v=${v//u/U};v=${v//v/V};v=${v//w/W};v=${v//x/X};v=${v//y/Y};v=${v//z/Z};echo "$v";done

Simple bash to lowercase :

while read v;do echo "${v,,}"; done

Simple bash to uppercase :

while read v;do echo "${v^^}"; done

Note that ${v,} and ${v^} only change the first letter.

You should use it that way :

(while read v;do echo "${v,,}"; done) < input_file.txt > output_file.txt

Laravel 5.2 redirect back with success message

You should remove web middleware from routes.php. Adding web middleware manually causes session and request related problems in Laravel 5.2.27 and higher.

If it didn't help (still, keep routes.php without web middleware), you can try little bit different approach:

return redirect()->back()->with('message', 'IT WORKS!');

Displaying message if it exists:

@if(session()->has('message'))
    <div class="alert alert-success">
        {{ session()->get('message') }}
    </div>
@endif

Difference between webdriver.get() and webdriver.navigate()

CASE-1

In the below code I navigated to 3 different URLs and when the execution comes to navigate command, it navigated back to facebook home page.

public class FirefoxInvoke {
                @Test
                public static void browserInvoke()
                {
                    System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "gecko-driver-path");
                WebDriver driver=new FirefoxDriver();
                System.out.println("Before"+driver.getTitle());
                driver.get("http://www.google.com");
                driver.get("http://www.facebook.com");
                driver.get("http://www.india.com");
                driver.navigate().back();
                driver.quit();
                }

                public static void main(String[] args) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            browserInvoke();
                }

            }

CASE-2:

In below code, I have used navigate() instead of get(), but both the snippets(Case-1 and Case-2) are working exactly the same, just the case-2 execution time is less than of case-1

public class FirefoxInvoke {
                @Test
                public static void browserInvoke()
                {
                    System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "gecko-driver-path");
                WebDriver driver=new FirefoxDriver();
                System.out.println("Before"+driver.getTitle());
                driver.navigate().to("http://www.google.com");
                driver.navigate().to("http://www.facebook.com");
                driver.navigate().to("http://www.india.com");
                driver.navigate().back();
                driver.quit();
                }

                public static void main(String[] args) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            browserInvoke();
                }

            }

So the main difference between get() and navigate() is, both are performing the same task but with the use of navigate() you can move back() or forward() in your session's history.
navigate() is faster than get() because navigate() does not wait for the page to load fully or completely.

Bootstrap: Position of dropdown menu relative to navbar item

Even if it s late i hope i can help someone. if dropdown menu or submenu is on the right side of screen it's open on the left side, if menu or submenu is on the left it's open on the right side.

$(".dropdown-toggle").on("click", function(event){//"show.bs.dropdown"
    var liparent=$(this.parentElement);
    var ulChild=liparent.find('ul');
    var xOffset=liparent.offset().left;
    var alignRight=($(document).width()-xOffset)<xOffset;


    if (liparent.hasClass("dropdown-submenu"))
    {
        ulChild.css("left",alignRight?"-101%":"");
    }
    else
    {                
        ulChild.toggleClass("dropdown-menu-right",alignRight);
    }

});

To detect vertical position you can also add

$( document ).ready(function() {
        var liparent=$(".dropdown");
    var yOffset=liparent.offset().top;
        var toTop=($(document).height()-yOffset)<yOffset;
    liparent.toggleClass("dropup",toTop);
});

How to compare two dates along with time in java

Since Date implements Comparable<Date>, it is as easy as:

date1.compareTo(date2);

As the Comparable contract stipulates, it will return a negative integer/zero/positive integer if date1 is considered less than/the same as/greater than date2 respectively (ie, before/same/after in this case).

Note that Date has also .after() and .before() methods which will return booleans instead.

Create 3D array using Python

There are many ways to address your problem.

First one as accepted answer by @robert. Here is the generalised solution for it:

def multi_dimensional_list(value, *args):
  #args dimensions as many you like. EG: [*args = 4,3,2 => x=4, y=3, z=2]
  #value can only be of immutable type. So, don't pass a list here. Acceptable value = 0, -1, 'X', etc.
  if len(args) > 1:
    return [ multi_dimensional_list(value, *args[1:]) for col in range(args[0])]
  elif len(args) == 1: #base case of recursion
    return [ value for col in range(args[0])]
  else: #edge case when no values of dimensions is specified.
    return None

Eg:

>>> multi_dimensional_list(-1, 3, 4)  #2D list
[[-1, -1, -1, -1], [-1, -1, -1, -1], [-1, -1, -1, -1]]
>>> multi_dimensional_list(-1, 4, 3, 2)  #3D list
[[[-1, -1], [-1, -1], [-1, -1]], [[-1, -1], [-1, -1], [-1, -1]], [[-1, -1], [-1, -1], [-1, -1]], [[-1, -1], [-1, -1], [-1, -1]]]
>>> multi_dimensional_list(-1, 2, 3, 2, 2 )  #4D list
[[[[-1, -1], [-1, -1]], [[-1, -1], [-1, -1]], [[-1, -1], [-1, -1]]], [[[-1, -1], [-1, -1]], [[-1, -1], [-1, -1]], [[-1, -1], [-1, -1]]]]

P.S If you are keen to do validation for correct values for args i.e. only natural numbers, then you can write a wrapper function before calling this function.

Secondly, any multidimensional dimensional array can be written as single dimension array. This means you don't need a multidimensional array. Here are the function for indexes conversion:

def convert_single_to_multi(value, max_dim):
  dim_count = len(max_dim)
  values = [0]*dim_count
  for i in range(dim_count-1, -1, -1): #reverse iteration
    values[i] = value%max_dim[i]
    value /= max_dim[i]
  return values


def convert_multi_to_single(values, max_dim):
  dim_count = len(max_dim)
  value = 0
  length_of_dimension = 1
  for i in range(dim_count-1, -1, -1): #reverse iteration
    value += values[i]*length_of_dimension
    length_of_dimension *= max_dim[i]
  return value

Since, these functions are inverse of each other, here is the output:

>>> convert_single_to_multi(convert_multi_to_single([1,4,6,7],[23,45,32,14]),[23,45,32,14])
[1, 4, 6, 7]
>>> convert_multi_to_single(convert_single_to_multi(21343,[23,45,32,14]),[23,45,32,14])

If you are concerned about performance issues then you can use some libraries like pandas, numpy, etc.

Conversion hex string into ascii in bash command line

You can use something like this.

$ cat test_file.txt
54 68 69 73 20 69 73 20 74 65 78 74 20 64 61 74 61 2e 0a 4f 6e 65 20 6d 6f 72 65 20 6c 69 6e 65 20 6f 66 20 74 65 73 74 20 64 61 74 61 2e

$ for c in `cat test_file.txt`; do printf "\x$c"; done;
This is text data.
One more line of test data.

How to stop mongo DB in one command

My special case is:

previously start mongod by:

sudo -u mongod mongod -f /etc/mongod.conf

now, want to stop mongod.

and refer official doc Stop mongod Processes, has tried:

(1) shutdownServer but failed:

> use admin
switched to db admin
> db.shutdownServer()
2019-03-06T14:13:15.334+0800 E QUERY    [thread1] Error: shutdownServer failed: {
        "ok" : 0,
        "errmsg" : "shutdown must run from localhost when running db without auth",
        "code" : 13
} :
_getErrorWithCode@src/mongo/shell/utils.js:25:13
DB.prototype.shutdownServer@src/mongo/shell/db.js:302:1
@(shell):1:1

(2) --shutdown still failed:

# mongod --shutdown
There doesn't seem to be a server running with dbpath: /data/db

(3) previous start command adding --shutdown:

sudo -u mongod mongod -f /etc/mongod.conf --shutdown
killing process with pid: 30213
failed to kill process: errno:1 Operation not permitted

(4) use service to stop:

service mongod stop

and

service mongod status

show expected Active: inactive (dead) but mongod actually still running, for can see process from ps:

# ps -edaf | grep mongo | grep -v grep
root     30213     1  0 Feb04 ?        03:33:22 mongod --port PORT --dbpath=/var/lib/mongo

and finally, really stop mongod by:

# sudo mongod -f /etc/mongod.conf --shutdown
killing process with pid: 30213

until now, root cause: still unknown ...

hope above solution is useful for your.

How to see the changes between two commits without commits in-between?

What about this:

git diff abcdef 123456 | less

It's handy to just pipe it to less if you want to compare many different diffs on the fly.

C++ - Hold the console window open?

Roughly the same kinds of things you've done in C#. Calling getch() is probably the simplest.

Check if xdebug is working

Run

php -m -c

in your terminal, and then look for [Zend Modules]. It should be somewhere there if it is loaded!

If you're using Ubuntu, it may not show up here because you need to add the xdebug settings from /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini into /etc/php5/cli/php.ini. Mine are

[xdebug]
zend_extension = /usr/lib/php5/20121212/xdebug.so
xdebug.remote_enable=on
xdebug.remote_handler=dbgp
xdebug.remote_mode=req
xdebug.remote_host=localhost
xdebug.remote_port=9000

How to parse an RSS feed using JavaScript?

For anyone else reading this (in 2019 onwards) unfortunately most JS RSS reading implementations don't now work. Firstly Google API has shut down so this is no longer an option and because of the CORS security policy you generally cannot now request RSS feeds cross-domains.

Using the example on https://www.raymondcamden.com/2015/12/08/parsing-rss-feeds-in-javascript-options (2015) I get the following:

Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://feeds.feedburner.com/raymondcamdensblog?format=xml' from origin 'MYSITE' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.

This is correct and is a security precaution by the end website but does now mean that the answers above are unlikely to work.

My workaround will probably be to parse the RSS feed through PHP and allow the javascript to access my PHP rather than trying to access the end-destination feed itself.

How to automatically allow blocked content in IE?

That's something I'm not sure that you can change through the HTML of the webpage itself, it's a client-side setting to tell their browser if they want security to be high. Most other browsers will not do this but from what I'm aware of this is not possible to stop unless the user disables the feature.

Does it still do what you want it to do after you click on 'Allow'? If so then it shouldn't be too much of a problem

'node' is not recognized as an internal or an external command, operable program or batch file while using phonegap/cordova

In Windows, you need to set node.js folder path into system variables or user variables.

1) open Control Panel -> System and Security -> System -> Advanced System Settings -> Environment Variables

2) in "User variables" or "System variables" find variable PATH and add node.js folder path as value. Usually it is C:\Program Files\nodejs;. If variable doesn't exists, create it.

3) Restart your IDE or computer.

It is useful add also "npm" and "Git" paths as variable, separated by semicolon.

How do I use Wget to download all images into a single folder, from a URL?

How to prevent a double-click using jQuery?

This is my first ever post & I'm very inexperienced so please go easy on me, but I feel I've got a valid contribution that may be helpful to someone...

Sometimes you need a very big time window between repeat clicks (eg a mailto link where it takes a couple of secs for the email app to open and you don't want it re-triggered), yet you don't want to slow the user down elsewhere. My solution is to use class names for the links depending on event type, while retaining double-click functionality elsewhere...

var controlspeed = 0;

$(document).on('click','a',function (event) {
    eventtype = this.className;
    controlspeed ++;
    if (eventtype == "eg-class01") {
        speedlimit = 3000;
    } else if (eventtype == "eg-class02") { 
        speedlimit = 500; 
    } else { 
        speedlimit = 0; 
    } 
    setTimeout(function() {
        controlspeed = 0;
    },speedlimit);
    if (controlspeed > 1) {
        event.preventDefault();
        return;
    } else {

        (usual onclick code goes here)

    }
});

Twitter Bootstrap 3: how to use media queries?

Bootstrap 3

Here are the selectors used in BS3, if you want to stay consistent:

@media(max-width:767px){}
@media(min-width:768px){}
@media(min-width:992px){}
@media(min-width:1200px){}

Note: FYI, this may be useful for debugging:

<span class="visible-xs">SIZE XS</span>
<span class="visible-sm">SIZE SM</span>
<span class="visible-md">SIZE MD</span>
<span class="visible-lg">SIZE LG</span>

Bootstrap 4

Here are the selectors used in BS4. There is no "lowest" setting in BS4 because "extra small" is the default. I.e. you would first code the XS size and then have these media overrides afterwards.

@media(min-width:576px){}
@media(min-width:768px){}
@media(min-width:992px){}
@media(min-width:1200px){}

Update 2019-02-11: BS3 info is still accurate as of version 3.4.0, updated BS4 for new grid, accurate as of 4.3.0.

Excel VBA, How to select rows based on data in a column?

The easiest way to do it is to use the End method, which is gives you the cell that you reach by pressing the end key and then a direction when you're on a cell (in this case B6). This won't give you what you expect if B6 or B7 is empty, though.

Dim start_cell As Range
Set start_cell = Range("[Workbook1.xlsx]Sheet1!B6")
Range(start_cell, start_cell.End(xlDown)).Copy Range("[Workbook2.xlsx]Sheet1!A2")

If you can't use End, then you would have to use a loop.

Dim start_cell As Range, end_cell As Range

Set start_cell = Range("[Workbook1.xlsx]Sheet1!B6")
Set end_cell = start_cell

Do Until IsEmpty(end_cell.Offset(1, 0))
    Set end_cell = end_cell.Offset(1, 0)
Loop

Range(start_cell, end_cell).Copy Range("[Workbook2.xlsx]Sheet1!A2")

Reference member variables as class members

It's called dependency injection via constructor injection: class A gets the dependency as an argument to its constructor and saves the reference to dependent class as a private variable.

There's an interesting introduction on wikipedia.

For const-correctness I'd write:

using T = int;

class A
{
public:
  A(const T &thing) : m_thing(thing) {}
  // ...

private:
   const T &m_thing;
};

but a problem with this class is that it accepts references to temporary objects:

T t;
A a1{t};    // this is ok, but...

A a2{T()};  // ... this is BAD.

It's better to add (requires C++11 at least):

class A
{
public:
  A(const T &thing) : m_thing(thing) {}
  A(const T &&) = delete;  // prevents rvalue binding
  // ...

private:
  const T &m_thing;
};

~~Anyway if you change the constructor:~~

class A { public: A(const T *thing) : m_thing(*thing) { assert(thing); } // ... private: const T &m_thing; };

it's pretty much guaranteed that you won't have a pointer to a temporary.

~~Also, since the constructor takes a pointer, it's clearer to users of A that they need to pay attention to the lifetime of the object they pass.~~

Maven in Eclipse: step by step installation

First install maven in your system and set Maven environment variables

M2_HOME: ....\apache-maven-3.0.5 \ maven installed path
M2_Repo: D:\maven_repo \If change maven repo location
M2: %M2_HOME%\bin

Steps to Configures maven on Eclipse IDE:

Select Window -> Preferences Note: If Maven option is not present, then add maven 3 to eclipse or install it.
Add the Maven location of your system

To check maven is configured properly:

Open Eclipse and click on Windows -> Preferences
Choose Maven from left panel, and select installations.
Click on Maven -> "User Settings" option form left panel, to check local repository location.

Changing the child element's CSS when the parent is hovered

Not sure if there's terrible reasons to do this or not, but it seems to work with me on the latest version of Chrome/Firefox without any visible performance problems with quite a lot of elements on the page.

*:not(:hover)>.parent-hover-show{
    display:none;
}

But this way, all you need is to apply parent-hover-show to an element and the rest is taken care of, and you can keep whatever default display type you want without it always being "block" or making multiple classes for each type.

ASP.NET MVC Ajax Error handling

Unfortunately, neither of answers are good for me. Surprisingly the solution is much simpler. Return from controller:

return new HttpStatusCodeResult(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest, e.Response.ReasonPhrase);

And handle it as standard HTTP error on client as you like.

Check if file exists and whether it contains a specific string

Instead of storing the output of grep in a variable and then checking whether the variable is empty, you can do this:

if grep -q "poet" $file_name
then
    echo "poet was found in $file_name"
fi

============

Here are some commonly used tests:

   -d FILE
          FILE exists and is a directory
   -e FILE
          FILE exists
   -f FILE
          FILE exists and is a regular file
   -h FILE
          FILE exists and is a symbolic link (same as -L)
   -r FILE
          FILE exists and is readable
   -s FILE
          FILE exists and has a size greater than zero
   -w FILE
          FILE exists and is writable
   -x FILE
          FILE exists and is executable
   -z STRING
          the length of STRING is zero

Example:

if [ -e "$file_name" ] && [ ! -z "$used_var" ]
then
    echo "$file_name exists and $used_var is not empty"
fi

Random string generation with upper case letters and digits

I was looking at the different answers and took time to read the documentation of secrets

The secrets module is used for generating cryptographically strong random numbers suitable for managing data such as passwords, account authentication, security tokens, and related secrets.

In particularly, secrets should be used in preference to the default pseudo-random number generator in the random module, which is designed for modelling and simulation, not security or cryptography.

Looking more into what it has to offer I found a very handy function if you want to mimic an ID like Google Drive IDs:

secrets.token_urlsafe([nbytes=None])
Return a random URL-safe text string, containing nbytes random bytes. The text is Base64 encoded, so on average each byte results in approximately 1.3 characters. If nbytes is None or not supplied, a reasonable default is used.

Use it the following way:

import secrets
import math

def id_generator():
    id = secrets.token_urlsafe(math.floor(32 / 1.3))
    return id

print(id_generator())

Output a 32 characters length id:

I know this is slightly different from the OP's question but I expect that it would still be helpful to many who were looking for the same use-case that I was looking for.

TSQL - Cast string to integer or return default value

I would rather create a function like TryParse or use T-SQL TRY-CATCH block to get what you wanted.

ISNUMERIC doesn't always work as intended. The code given before will fail if you do:

SET @text = '$'

$ sign can be converted to money datatype, so ISNUMERIC() returns true in that case. It will do the same for '-' (minus), ',' (comma) and '.' characters.

Why doesn't wireshark detect my interface?

I hit the same problem on my laptop(win 10) with Wireshark(version 3.2.0), and I tried all the above solutions but unfortunately don't help.

So,

I uninstall the Wireshark bluntly and reinstall it.

After that, this problem solved.

Putting the solution here, and wish it may help someone......

UITableView example for Swift

For completeness sake, and for those that do not wish to use the Interface Builder, here's a way of creating the same table as in Suragch's answer entirely programatically - albeit with a different size and position.

class ViewController: UIViewController, UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource  {

    var tableView: UITableView = UITableView()
    let animals = ["Horse", "Cow", "Camel", "Sheep", "Goat"]
    let cellReuseIdentifier = "cell"

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()

        tableView.frame = CGRectMake(0, 50, 320, 200)
        tableView.delegate = self
        tableView.dataSource = self
        tableView.registerClass(UITableViewCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: cellReuseIdentifier)

        self.view.addSubview(tableView)
    }

    func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
        return animals.count
    }

    func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
        let cell:UITableViewCell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier(cellReuseIdentifier) as UITableViewCell!

        cell.textLabel?.text = animals[indexPath.row]

        return cell
    }

    func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
        print("You tapped cell number \(indexPath.row).")
    }

}

Make sure you have remembered to import UIKit.

No compiler is provided in this environment. Perhaps you are running on a JRE rather than a JDK?

An alternative if jaipster's answer does not work is to go to:
Window > Preferences > Java > Installed JREs

Then to edit the jre so that it points to the jdk and not the jre (the jre home filed in the jre package editor)

That worked for me.

Setting width/height as percentage minus pixels

Another way to achieve the same goal: flex boxes. Make the container a column flex box, and then you have all freedom to allow some elements to have fixed-size (default behavior) or to fill-up/shrink-down to the container space (with flex-grow:1 and flex-shrink:1).

#wrap {        
  display:flex;
  flex-direction:column;
}
.extendOrShrink {
  flex-shrink:1;
  flex-grow:1;
  overflow:auto;
}

See https://jsfiddle.net/2Lmodwxk/ (try to extend or reduce the window to notice the effect)

Note: you may also use the shorthand property:

   flex:1 1 auto;

C++: Print out enum value as text

You can use a simpler pre-processor trick if you are willing to list your enum entries in an external file.

/* file: errors.def */
/* syntax: ERROR_DEF(name, value) */
ERROR_DEF(ErrorA, 0x1)
ERROR_DEF(ErrorB, 0x2)
ERROR_DEF(ErrorC, 0x4)

Then in a source file, you treat the file like an include file, but you define what you want the ERROR_DEF to do.

enum Errors {
#define ERROR_DEF(x,y) x = y,
#include "errors.def"
#undef ERROR_DEF
};

static inline std::ostream & operator << (std::ostream &o, Errors e) {
    switch (e) {
    #define ERROR_DEF(x,y) case y: return o << #x"[" << y << "]";
    #include "errors.def"
    #undef ERROR_DEF
    default: return o << "unknown[" << e << "]";
    }
}

If you use some source browsing tool (like cscope), you'll have to let it know about the external file.

Execute command on all files in a directory

You can use xarg:

ls | xargs -L 1 -d '\n' your-desired-command

-L 1 causes pass 1 item at a time
-d '\n' splits the output of ls based on new line.

Start systemd service after specific service?

After= dependency is only effective when service including After= and service included by After= are both scheduled to start as part of your boot up.

Ex:

a.service
[Unit]
After=b.service

This way, if both a.service and b.service are enabled, then systemd will order b.service after a.service.

If I am not misunderstanding, what you are asking is how to start b.service when a.service starts even though b.service is not enabled.

The directive for this is Wants= or Requires= under [Unit].

website.service
[Unit]
Wants=mongodb.service
After=mongodb.service

The difference between Wants= and Requires= is that with Requires=, a failure to start b.service will cause the startup of a.service to fail, whereas with Wants=, a.service will start even if b.service fails. This is explained in detail on the man page of .unit.

How do you create a Swift Date object?

According to @mythz answer, I decide to post updated version of his extension using swift3 syntax.

extension Date {
    static func from(_ year: Int, _ month: Int, _ day: Int) -> Date?
    {
        let gregorianCalendar = Calendar(identifier: .gregorian)
        let dateComponents = DateComponents(calendar: gregorianCalendar, year: year, month: month, day: day)
        return gregorianCalendar.date(from: dateComponents)
    }
}

I don't use parse method, but if someone needs, I will update this post.

Error:Conflict with dependency 'com.google.code.findbugs:jsr305'

The reason why this happen is that diff dependency use same lib of diff version.
So, there are 3 steps or (1 step) to solve this problem.

1st

Add

configurations.all {
    resolutionStrategy.force 'com.google.code.findbugs:jsr305:2.0.1'
}

to your build.gradle file in android {...}

2nd

Open terminal in android studio
run ./gradlew -q app:dependencies command.

3rd

Click Clean Project from menu bar of android studio in Build list.
It will rebuild the project, and then remove code in 1st step.

Maybe you need just exec 2nd step. I can't rollback when error occurs. Have a try.

Detecting input change in jQuery?

As others already suggested, the solution in your case is to sniff multiple events.
Plugins doing this job often listen for the following events:

$input.on('change keydown keypress keyup mousedown click mouseup', handler);

If you think it may fit, you can add focus, blur and other events too.
I suggest not to exceed in the events to listen, as it loads in the browser memory further procedures to execute according to the user's behaviour.

Attention: note that changing the value of an input element with JavaScript (e.g. through the jQuery .val() method) won't fire any of the events above.
(Reference: https://api.jquery.com/change/).

Send raw ZPL to Zebra printer via USB

ZPL is the correct way to go. In most cases it is correct to use a driver that abstracts to GDI commands; however Zebra label printers are a special case. The best way to print to a Zebra printer is to generate ZPL directly. Note that the actual printer driver for a Zebra printer is a "plain text" printer - there is not a "driver" that could be updated or changed in the sense we think of most printers having drivers. It's just a driver in the absolute minimalist sense.

jQuery post() with serialize and extra data

You could have the form contain the additional data as hidden fields which you would set right before sending the AJAX request to the corresponding values.

Another possibility consists into using this little gem to serialize your form into a javascript object (instead of string) and add the missing data:

var data = $('#myForm').serializeObject();
// now add some additional stuff
data['wordlist'] = wordlist;
$.post('/page.php', data);

What is Python Whitespace and how does it work?

Whitespace just means characters which are used for spacing, and have an "empty" representation. In the context of python, it means tabs and spaces (it probably also includes exotic unicode spaces, but don't use them). The definitive reference is here: http://docs.python.org/2/reference/lexical_analysis.html#indentation

I'm not sure exactly how to use it.

Put it at the front of the line you want to indent. If you mix spaces and tabs, you'll likely see funky results, so stick with one or the other. (The python community usually follows PEP8 style, which prescribes indentation of four spaces).

You need to create a new indent level after each colon:

for x in range(0, 50):
    print x
    print 2*x

print x

In this code, the first two print statements are "inside" the body of the for statement because they are indented more than the line containing the for. The third print is outside because it is indented less than the previous (nonblank) line.

If you don't indent/unindent consistently, you will get indentation errors. In addition, all compound statements (i.e. those with a colon) can have the body supplied on the same line, so no indentation is required, but the body must be composed of a single statement.

Finally, certain statements, like lambda feature a colon, but cannot have a multiline block as the body.

App installation failed due to application-identifier entitlement

In my case it was because of the certificate.

because my own certificate to sign the app wasn't part of the developper team (new employee), upgrading the app from the App Store to a new version wasn't allow.

So in case it happen to you and you can't manage to obtain a "good" certificate, just clone the git appStore version, open two Xcode projects, compile the old version, update the settings as you wish, the compile the new one and you're done.

a little bit dirty and tricky but I hope it could help someone.

How to enable scrolling of content inside a modal?

After using all these mentioned solution, i was still not able to scroll using mouse scroll, keyboard up/down button were working for scrolling content.

So i have added below css fixes to make it working

.modal-open {
    overflow: hidden;
}

.modal-open .modal {
    overflow-x: hidden;
    overflow-y: auto;
    **pointer-events: auto;**
}

Added pointer-events: auto; to make it mouse scrollable.

Embed website into my site

You can embed websites into another website using the <embed> tag, like so:

<embed src="http://www.example.com" style="width:500px; height: 300px;">

You can change the height, width, and URL to suit your needs.

The <embed> tag is the most up-to-date way to embed websites, as it was introduced with HTML5.

IntelliJ inspection gives "Cannot resolve symbol" but still compiles code

If all my pom.xml files are configured correctly and I still have issues with Maven in IntelliJ I do the following steps

Read how to use maven in IntelliJ lately
Make sure IntelliJ is configured to use Bundled Maven 3
Find and TERMINATE actual java process that is executing Maven 3 repos indexing for IntelliJ(Termination can be done while IntelliJ is running). In case any problems with indices or dependencies not available(thought repositories were configured in pom.xml).
Forced Update for all repositories in "IntelliJ / Settings / Build Tools / Maven / Repositories / ". Takes most of the time, disk space and bandwidth! Took me 20+ minutes to update index for Maven central repo.
Hit Re-import all Maven project once again from IntelliJ
It is a good practice to do steps 1-4 to leave IntelliJ and its demon java processes running over night, if you have multiple repositories and a complex project, so you have everything in sync for the next day. You can in theory use all popular indexed repos out there and launch index update for all repos at the same time(I suppose IntelliJ creates a queue and runs updates one after another) then it can take hours to complete(you will need to increase heap space for that too).

P.S. I've spent hours to understand(step 3) that IntelliJ's java demon process that handles maven index update was doing something wrong and I simply need to make IntelliJ to start it from scratch. Problem was solved without even restarting IntelliJ itself.

Errors: "INSERT EXEC statement cannot be nested." and "Cannot use the ROLLBACK statement within an INSERT-EXEC statement." How to solve this?

This is the only "simple" way to do this in SQL Server without some giant convoluted created function or executed sql string call, both of which are terrible solutions:

create a temp table
openrowset your stored procedure data into it

EXAMPLE:

INSERT INTO #YOUR_TEMP_TABLE
SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET ('SQLOLEDB','Server=(local);TRUSTED_CONNECTION=YES;','set fmtonly off EXEC [ServerName].dbo.[StoredProcedureName] 1,2,3')

Note: You MUST use 'set fmtonly off', AND you CANNOT add dynamic sql to this either inside the openrowset call, either for the string containing your stored procedure parameters or for the table name. Thats why you have to use a temp table rather than table variables, which would have been better, as it out performs temp table in most cases.

How to find the 'sizeof' (a pointer pointing to an array)?

In strings there is a '\0' character at the end so the length of the string can be gotten using functions like strlen. The problem with an integer array, for example, is that you can't use any value as an end value so one possible solution is to address the array and use as an end value the NULL pointer.

#include <stdio.h>
/* the following function will produce the warning:
 * ‘sizeof’ on array function parameter ‘a’ will
 * return size of ‘int *’ [-Wsizeof-array-argument]
 */
void foo( int a[] )
{
    printf( "%lu\n", sizeof a );
}
/* so we have to implement something else one possible
 * idea is to use the NULL pointer as a control value
 * the same way '\0' is used in strings but this way
 * the pointer passed to a function should address pointers
 * so the actual implementation of an array type will
 * be a pointer to pointer
 */
typedef char * type_t; /* line 18 */
typedef type_t ** array_t;
int main( void )
{
    array_t initialize( int, ... );
    /* initialize an array with four values "foo", "bar", "baz", "foobar"
     * if one wants to use integers rather than strings than in the typedef
     * declaration at line 18 the char * type should be changed with int
     * and in the format used for printing the array values 
     * at line 45 and 51 "%s" should be changed with "%i"
     */
    array_t array = initialize( 4, "foo", "bar", "baz", "foobar" );

    int size( array_t );
    /* print array size */
    printf( "size %i:\n", size( array ));

    void aprint( char *, array_t );
    /* print array values */
    aprint( "%s\n", array ); /* line 45 */

    type_t getval( array_t, int );
    /* print an indexed value */
    int i = 2;
    type_t val = getval( array, i );
    printf( "%i: %s\n", i, val ); /* line 51 */

    void delete( array_t );
    /* free some space */
    delete( array );

    return 0;
}
/* the output of the program should be:
 * size 4:
 * foo
 * bar
 * baz
 * foobar
 * 2: baz

#include <stdarg.h>

Stored procedure or function expects parameter which is not supplied

In my case I received this exception even when all parameter values were correctly supplied but the type of command was not specified :

cmd.CommandType = System.Data.CommandType.StoredProcedure;

This is obviously not the case in the question above, but exception description is not very clear in this case, so I decided to specify that.

Base64 decode snippet in C++

According to this excellent comparison made by GaspardP I would not choose this solution. It's not the worst, but it's not the best either. The only thing it got going for it is that it's possibly easier to understand.

I found the other two answers to be pretty hard to understand. They also produce some warnings in my compiler and the use of a find function in the decode part should result in a pretty bad efficiency. So I decided to roll my own.

Usage:

BYTE buf[] = "ABCD";
std::string encoded = Base64::encode(buf, 4);
// encoded = "QUJDRA=="
std::vector<BYTE> decoded = Base64::decode(encoded);

A bonus here is that the decode function can also decode the URL variant of Base64 encoding.

Converting dictionary to JSON

No need to convert it in a string by using json.dumps()

r = {'is_claimed': 'True', 'rating': 3.5}
file.write(r['is_claimed'])
file.write(str(r['rating']))

You can get the values directly from the dict object.

How to get Tensorflow tensor dimensions (shape) as int values?

In later versions (tested with TensorFlow 1.14) there's a more numpy-like way to get the shape of a tensor. You can use tensor.shape to get the shape of the tensor.

tensor_shape = tensor.shape
print(tensor_shape)

what does this mean ? image/png;base64?

That is, you are referencing an image, but instead of providing an external url, the png image data is in the url itself, embedded in the style sheet. data:image/png;base64 tells the browser that the data is inline, is a png image and is in this case base64 encoded. The encoding is needed because png images can contain bytes that are invalid inside a HTML document (or within the HTTP protocol even).

Open and write data to text file using Bash?

If you are using variables, you can use

first_var="Hello"
second_var="How are you"

If you want to concat both string and write it to file, then use below

echo "${first_var} - ${second_var}" > ./file_name.txt

Your file_name.txt content will be "Hello - How are you"

PHP function use variable from outside

Do not forget that you also can pass these use variables by reference.

The use cases are when you need to change the use'd variable from inside of your callback (e.g. produce the new array of different objects from some source array of objects).

$sourcearray = [ (object) ['a' => 1], (object) ['a' => 2]];
$newarray = [];
array_walk($sourcearray, function ($item) use (&$newarray) {
    $newarray[] = (object) ['times2' => $item->a * 2];
});
var_dump($newarray);

Now $newarray will comprise (pseudocode here for brevity) [{times2:2},{times2:4}].

On the contrary, using $newarray with no & modifier would make outer $newarray variable be read-only accessible from within the closure scope. But $newarray within closure scope would be a completelly different newly created variable living only within the closure scope.

Despite both variables' names are the same these would be two different variables. The outer $newarray variable would comprise [] in this case after the code has finishes.

What is a callback in java

In Java, callback methods are mainly used to address the "Observer Pattern", which is closely related to "Asynchronous Programming".

Although callbacks are also used to simulate passing methods as a parameter, like what is done in functional programming languages.

"std::endl" vs "\n"

The std::endl manipulator is equivalent to '\n'. But std::endl always flushes the stream.

std::cout << "Test line" << std::endl; // with flush
std::cout << "Test line\n"; // no flush

Add one day to date in javascript

Note that Date.getDate only returns the day of the month. You can add a day by calling Date.setDate and appending 1.

// Create new Date instance
var date = new Date()

// Add a day
date.setDate(date.getDate() + 1)

JavaScript will automatically update the month and year for you.

EDIT:
Here's a link to a page where you can find all the cool stuff about the built-in Date object, and see what's possible: Date.

Create a File object in memory from a string in Java

The File class represents the "idea" of a file, not an actual handle to use for I/O. This is why the File class has a .exists() method, to tell you if the file exists or not. (How can you have a File object that doesn't exist?)

By contrast, constructing a new FileInputStream(new File("/my/file")) gives you an actual stream to read bytes from.

dynamically add and remove view to viewpager

I find a good solution for this issue, this solution can make it work and no need to recreate Fragments.
My key point is:

setup ViewPager every time you delete or add Tab(Fragment).
Override the getItemId method, return a specific id rather than position.

How to save .xlsx data to file as a blob

Here's my implementation using the fetch api. The server endpoint sends a stream of bytes and the client receives a byte array and creates a blob out of it. A .xlsx file will then be generated.

return fetch(fullUrlEndpoint, options)
  .then((res) => {
    if (!res.ok) {
      const responseStatusText = res.statusText
      const errorMessage = `${responseStatusText}`
      throw new Error(errorMessage);
    }
    return res.arrayBuffer();
  })
    .then((ab) => {
      // BE endpoint sends a readable stream of bytes
      const byteArray = new Uint8Array(ab);
      const a = window.document.createElement('a');
      a.href = window.URL.createObjectURL(
        new Blob([byteArray], {
          type:
            'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet',
        }),
      );
      a.download = `${fileName}.XLSX`;
      document.body.appendChild(a);
      a.click();
      document.body.removeChild(a);
    })
    .catch(error => {
      throw new Error('Error occurred:' + error);
    });

How do I syntax check a Bash script without running it?

I actually check all bash scripts in current dir for syntax errors WITHOUT running them using find tool:

Example:

find . -name '*.sh' -exec bash -n {} \;

If you want to use it for a single file, just edit the wildcard with the name of the file.

How to use document.getElementByName and getElementByTag?

I assume you are talking about getElementById() returning a reference to an element whilst the others return a node list. Just subscript the nodelist for the others, e.g. document.getElementBytag('table')[4].

Also, elements is only a property of a form (HTMLFormElement), not a table such as in your example.

How to sort List<Integer>?

You can use the utility method in Collections class public static <T extends Comparable<? super T>> void sort(List<T> list) or

public static <T> void sort(List<T> list,Comparator<? super T> c)

Refer to Comparable and Comparator interfaces for more flexibility on sorting the object.

Versioning SQL Server database

I'm also using a version in the database stored via the database extended properties family of procedures. My application has scripts for each version step (ie. move from 1.1 to 1.2). When deployed, it looks at the current version and then runs the scripts one by one until it reaches the last app version. There is no script that has the straight 'final' version, even deploy on a clean DB does the deploy via a series of upgrade steps.

Now what I like to add is that I've seen two days ago a presentation on the MS campus about the new and upcoming VS DB edition. The presentation was focused specifically on this topic and I was blown out of the water. You should definitely check it out, the new facilities are focused on keeping schema definition in T-SQL scripts (CREATEs), a runtime delta engine to compare deployment schema with defined schema and doing the delta ALTERs and integration with source code integration, up to and including MSBUILD continuous integration for automated build drops. The drop will contain a new file type, the .dbschema files, that can be taken to the deployment site and a command line tool can do the actual 'deltas' and run the deployment. I have a blog entry on this topic with links to the VSDE downloads, you should check them out: http://rusanu.com/2009/05/15/version-control-and-your-database/

Global variables in AngularJS

I just found another method by mistake :

What I did was to declare a var db = null above app declaration and then modified it in the app.js then when I accessed it in the controller.js I was able to access it without any problem.There might be some issues with this method which I'm not aware of but It's a good solution I guess.

What does "control reaches end of non-void function" mean?

It means it's searching for a function that needs to be completed.

else if(val == sorted[mid]) return mid;

so, remove the if() part and modify the code or add an else() at the end which returns an int.

What is MVC and what are the advantages of it?

MVC is the separation of model, view and controller — nothing more, nothing less. It's simply a paradigm; an ideal that you should have in the back of your mind when designing classes. Avoid mixing code from the three categories into one class.

For example, while a table grid view should obviously present data once shown, it should not have code on where to retrieve the data from, or what its native structure (the model) is like. Likewise, while it may have a function to sum up a column, the actual summing is supposed to happen in the controller.

A 'save file' dialog (view) ultimately passes the path, once picked by the user, on to the controller, which then asks the model for the data, and does the actual saving.

This separation of responsibilities allows flexibility down the road. For example, because the view doesn't care about the underlying model, supporting multiple file formats is easier: just add a model subclass for each.

Array[n] vs Array[10] - Initializing array with variable vs real number

In C++, variable length arrays are not legal. G++ allows this as an "extension" (because C allows it), so in G++ (without being -pedantic about following the C++ standard), you can do:

int n = 10;
double a[n]; // Legal in g++ (with extensions), illegal in proper C++

If you want a "variable length array" (better called a "dynamically sized array" in C++, since proper variable length arrays aren't allowed), you either have to dynamically allocate memory yourself:

int n = 10;
double* a = new double[n]; // Don't forget to delete [] a; when you're done!

Or, better yet, use a standard container:

int n = 10;
std::vector<double> a(n); // Don't forget to #include <vector>

If you still want a proper array, you can use a constant, not a variable, when creating it:

const int n = 10;
double a[n]; // now valid, since n isn't a variable (it's a compile time constant)

Similarly, if you want to get the size from a function in C++11, you can use a constexpr:

constexpr int n()
{
    return 10;
}

double a[n()]; // n() is a compile time constant expression

Eclipse - Failed to create the java virtual machine

I had exactly the same problem, one day eclipse wouldn't open. Tried editing eclipse.ini to the correct java version 1.7, but still the same error. Eventually changed :

...and all working.

Why I can't change directories using "cd"?

You can do following:

#!/bin/bash
cd /your/project/directory
# start another shell and replacing the current
exec /bin/bash

EDIT: This could be 'dotted' as well, to prevent creation of subsequent shells.

Example:

. ./previous_script  (with or without the first line)

CSS Selector "(A or B) and C"?

Not yet, but there is the experimental :matches() pseudo-class function that does just that:

:matches(.a .b) .c {
  /* stuff goes here */
}

You can find more info on it here and here. Currently, most browsers support its initial version :any(), which works the same way, but will be replaced by :matches(). We just have to wait a little more before using this everywhere (I surely will).

Google MAP API Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'offsetWidth' of null

In a case I was dealing with, the map div was conditionally rendered depending if the location was being made public. If you can't be sure whether the map canvas div will be on the page, simply check that your document.getElementById is returning an element and only invoke the map if it's present:

var mapEle = document.getElementById("map_canvas");
if (mapEle) {
    map = new google.maps.Map(mapEle, myOptions);
}

Getting Django admin url for an object

If you are using 1.0, try making a custom templatetag that looks like this:

def adminpageurl(object, link=None):
    if link is None:
        link = object
    return "<a href=\"/admin/%s/%s/%d\">%s</a>" % (
        instance._meta.app_label,
        instance._meta.module_name,
        instance.id,
        link,
    )

then just use {% adminpageurl my_object %} in your template (don't forget to load the templatetag first)

Formatting numbers (decimal places, thousands separators, etc) with CSS

You cannot use CSS for this purpose. I recommend using JavaScript if it's applicable. Take a look at this for more information: JavaScript equivalent to printf/string.format

Also As Petr mentioned you can handle it on server-side but it's totally depends on your scenario.

Mongodb find() query : return only unique values (no duplicates)

Javascript regular expression password validation having special characters

After a lot of research, I was able to come up with this. This has more special characters

validatePassword(password) {
        const re = /(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[!@#$%^&*()+=-\?;,./{}|\":<>\[\]\\\' ~_]).{8,}/
        return re.test(password);
    }

Change the borderColor of the TextBox

Isn't it Simple as this,

txtbox1.BorderColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;

Why is my element value not getting changed? Am I using the wrong function?

As the plural in getElementsByName() implies, does it always return list of elements that have this name. So when you have an input element with that name:

<input type="text" name="Tue">

And it is the first one with that name, you have to use document.getElementsByName('Tue')[0] to get the first element of the list of elements with this name.

Beside that are properties case sensitive and the correct spelling of the value property is .value.

Is there a JavaScript strcmp()?

Javascript doesn't have it, as you point out.

A quick search came up with:

function strcmp ( str1, str2 ) {
    // http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net
    // +   original by: Waldo Malqui Silva
    // +      input by: Steve Hilder
    // +   improved by: Kevin van Zonneveld (http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net)
    // +    revised by: gorthaur
    // *     example 1: strcmp( 'waldo', 'owald' );
    // *     returns 1: 1
    // *     example 2: strcmp( 'owald', 'waldo' );
    // *     returns 2: -1

    return ( ( str1 == str2 ) ? 0 : ( ( str1 > str2 ) ? 1 : -1 ) );
}

from http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net/techblog/article/javascript_equivalent_for_phps_strcmp/

Of course, you could just add localeCompare if needed:

if (typeof(String.prototype.localeCompare) === 'undefined') {
    String.prototype.localeCompare = function(str, locale, options) {
        return ((this == str) ? 0 : ((this > str) ? 1 : -1));
    };
}

And use str1.localeCompare(str2) everywhere, without having to worry wether the local browser has shipped with it. The only problem is that you would have to add support for locales and options if you care about that.

How to increase the timeout period of web service in asp.net?

you can do this in different ways:

Setting a timeout in the web service caller from code (not 100% sure but I think I have seen this done);
Setting a timeout in the constructor of the web service proxy in the web references;
Setting a timeout in the server side, web.config of the web service application.

see here for more details on the second case:

Perform Segue programmatically and pass parameters to the destination view

The answer is simply that it makes no difference how the segue is triggered.

The prepareForSegue:sender: method is called in any case and this is where you pass your parameters across.

How Can I Set the Default Value of a Timestamp Column to the Current Timestamp with Laravel Migrations?

Given it's a raw expression, you should use DB::raw() to set CURRENT_TIMESTAMP as a default value for a column:

$table->timestamp('created_at')->default(DB::raw('CURRENT_TIMESTAMP'));

This works flawlessly on every database driver.

New shortcut

As of Laravel 5.1.25 (see PR 10962 and commit 15c487fe) you can use the new useCurrent() column modifier method to set the CURRENT_TIMESTAMP as a default value for a column:

$table->timestamp('created_at')->useCurrent();

Back to the question, on MySQL you could also use the ON UPDATE clause through DB::raw():

$table->timestamp('updated_at')->default(DB::raw('CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP'));

Gotchas

MySQL

Starting with MySQL 5.7, 0000-00-00 00:00:00 is no longer considered a valid date. As documented at the Laravel 5.2 upgrade guide, all timestamp columns should receive a valid default value when you insert records into your database. You may use the useCurrent() column modifier (from Laravel 5.1.25 and above) in your migrations to default the timestamp columns to the current timestamps, or you may make the timestamps nullable() to allow null values.
PostgreSQL & Laravel 4.x

In Laravel 4.x versions, the PostgreSQL driver was using the default database precision to store timestamp values. When using the CURRENT_TIMESTAMP function on a column with a default precision, PostgreSQL generates a timestamp with the higher precision available, thus generating a timestamp with a fractional second part - see this SQL fiddle.

This will led Carbon to fail parsing a timestamp since it won't be expecting microseconds being stored. To avoid this unexpected behavior breaking your application you have to explicitly give a zero precision to the CURRENT_TIMESTAMP function as below:
```
$table->timestamp('created_at')->default(DB::raw('CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(0)'));
```
Since Laravel 5.0, timestamp() columns has been changed to use a default precision of zero which avoids this.

Thanks to @andrewhl for pointing out this issue in the comments.

Batchfile to create backup and rename with timestamp

Renames all .pdf files based on current system date. For example a file named Gross Profit.pdf is renamed to Gross Profit 2014-07-31.pdf. If you run it tomorrow, it will rename it to Gross Profit 2014-08-01.pdf.

You could replace the ? with the report name Gross Profit, but it will only rename the one report. The ? renames everything in the Conduit folder. The reason there are so many ?, is that some .pdfs have long names. If you just put 12 ?s, then any name longer than 12 characters will be clipped off at the 13th character. Try it with 1 ?, then try it with many ?s. The ? length should be a little longer or as long as the longest report name.

How do I get the APK of an installed app without root access?

When you have Eclipse for Android developement installed:

Use your device as debugging device. On your phone: Settings > Applications > Development and enable USB debugging, see http://developer.android.com/tools/device.html
In Eclipse, open DDMS-window: Window > Open Perspective > Other... > DDMS, see http://developer.android.com/tools/debugging/ddms.html
If you can't see your device try (re)installing USB-Driver for your device
In middle pane select tab "File Explorer" and go to system > app
Now you can select one or more files and then click the "Pull a file from the device" icon at the top (right to the tabs)
Select target folder - tada!

What is the best way to repeatedly execute a function every x seconds?

I ended up using the schedule module. The API is nice.

import schedule
import time

def job():
    print("I'm working...")

schedule.every(10).minutes.do(job)
schedule.every().hour.do(job)
schedule.every().day.at("10:30").do(job)
schedule.every(5).to(10).minutes.do(job)
schedule.every().monday.do(job)
schedule.every().wednesday.at("13:15").do(job)
schedule.every().minute.at(":17").do(job)

while True:
    schedule.run_pending()
    time.sleep(1)

Convert ascii char[] to hexadecimal char[] in C

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(void){
    char word[17], outword[33];//17:16+1, 33:16*2+1
    int i, len;

    printf("Intro word:");
    fgets(word, sizeof(word), stdin);
    len = strlen(word);
    if(word[len-1]=='\n')
        word[--len] = '\0';

    for(i = 0; i<len; i++){
        sprintf(outword+i*2, "%02X", word[i]);
    }
    printf("%s\n", outword);
    return 0;
}

Find first element by predicate

However this seems inefficient to me, as the filter will scan the whole list

No it won't - it will "break" as soon as the first element satisfying the predicate is found. You can read more about laziness in the stream package javadoc, in particular (emphasis mine):

Many stream operations, such as filtering, mapping, or duplicate removal, can be implemented lazily, exposing opportunities for optimization. For example, "find the first String with three consecutive vowels" need not examine all the input strings. Stream operations are divided into intermediate (Stream-producing) operations and terminal (value- or side-effect-producing) operations. Intermediate operations are always lazy.

Datatable vs Dataset

It really depends on the sort of data you're bringing back. Since a DataSet is (in effect) just a collection of DataTable objects, you can return multiple distinct sets of data into a single, and therefore more manageable, object.

Performance-wise, you're more likely to get inefficiency from unoptimized queries than from the "wrong" choice of .NET construct. At least, that's been my experience.

Tainted canvases may not be exported

Check out CORS enabled image from MDN. Basically you must have a server hosting images with the appropriate Access-Control-Allow-Origin header.

_x000D_

<IfModule mod_setenvif.c>
    <IfModule mod_headers.c>
        <FilesMatch "\.(cur|gif|ico|jpe?g|png|svgz?|webp)$">
            SetEnvIf Origin ":" IS_CORS
            Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*" env=IS_CORS
        </FilesMatch>
    </IfModule>
</IfModule>

_x000D_

You will be able to save those images to DOM Storage as if they were served from your domain otherwise you will run into security issue.

_x000D_

var img = new Image,
    canvas = document.createElement("canvas"),
    ctx = canvas.getContext("2d"),
    src = "http://example.com/image"; // insert image url here

img.crossOrigin = "Anonymous";

img.onload = function() {
    canvas.width = img.width;
    canvas.height = img.height;
    ctx.drawImage( img, 0, 0 );
    localStorage.setItem( "savedImageData", canvas.toDataURL("image/png") );
}
img.src = src;
// make sure the load event fires for cached images too
if ( img.complete || img.complete === undefined ) {
    img.src = "data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw==";
    img.src = src;
}
