Programs & Examples On #Mysqlimport

The mysqlimport client provides a command-line interface for the MySQL database to the LOAD DATA INFILE SQL statement.

How do I import a .sql file in mysql database using PHP?

As we all know MySQL was deprecated in PHP 5.5.0, and it was removed in PHP 7.0.0 ref so I have converted accepted answer to mysqli.

<?php
// Name of the file
$filename = 'db.sql';
// MySQL host
$mysql_host = 'localhost';
// MySQL username
$mysql_username = 'root';
// MySQL password
$mysql_password = '123456';
// Database name
$mysql_database = 'mydb';

$connection = mysqli_connect($mysql_host,$mysql_username,$mysql_password,$mysql_database) or die(mysqli_error($connection));

// Temporary variable, used to store current query
$templine = '';
// Read in entire file
$lines = file($filename);
// Loop through each line
foreach ($lines as $line)
{
// Skip it if it's a comment
if (substr($line, 0, 2) == '--' || $line == '')
    continue;

// Add this line to the current segment
$templine .= $line;
// If it has a semicolon at the end, it's the end of the query
if (substr(trim($line), -1, 1) == ';')
{
    // Perform the query
    mysqli_query($connection,$templine) or print('Error performing query \'<strong>' . $templine . '\': ' . mysqli_error($connection) . '<br /><br />');
    // Reset temp variable to empty
    $templine = '';
}
}
 echo "Tables imported successfully";
?>

Importing a csv into mysql via command line

For importing csv with a header row using mysqlimport, just add

--ignore-lines=N

(ignores the first N lines of the data file)

This option is described in the page you've linked.

What's the difference between select_related and prefetch_related in Django ORM?

Gone through the already posted answers. Just thought it would be better if I add an answer with actual example.

Let' say you have 3 Django models which are related.

class M1(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=10)

class M2(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=10)
    select_relation = models.ForeignKey(M1, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    prefetch_relation = models.ManyToManyField(to='M3')

class M3(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=10)

Here you can query M2 model and its relative M1 objects using select_relation field and M3 objects using prefetch_relation field.

However as we've mentioned M1's relation from M2 is a ForeignKey, it just returns only 1 record for any M2 object. Same thing applies for OneToOneField as well.

But M3's relation from M2 is a ManyToManyField which might return any number of M1 objects.

Consider a case where you have 2 M2 objects m21, m22 who have same 5 associated M3 objects with IDs 1,2,3,4,5. When you fetch associated M3 objects for each of those M2 objects, if you use select related, this is how it's going to work.

Steps:

  1. Find m21 object.
  2. Query all the M3 objects related to m21 object whose IDs are 1,2,3,4,5.
  3. Repeat same thing for m22 object and all other M2 objects.

As we have same 1,2,3,4,5 IDs for both m21, m22 objects, if we use select_related option, it's going to query the DB twice for the same IDs which were already fetched.

Instead if you use prefetch_related, when you try to get M2 objects, it will make a note of all the IDs that your objects returned (Note: only the IDs) while querying M2 table and as last step, Django is going to make a query to M3 table with the set of all IDs that your M2 objects have returned. and join them to M2 objects using Python instead of database.

This way you're querying all the M3 objects only once which improves performance.

You can use just JavaScript:

window.location = 'http://address.com';

How to convert byte[] to InputStream?

Should be easy to find in the javadocs...

byte[] byteArr = new byte[] { 0xC, 0xA, 0xF, 0xE };
InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(byteArr);

Change the "No file chosen":

Try this its just a trick

<input type="file" name="uploadfile" id="img" style="display:none;"/>
<label for="img">Click me to upload image</label>

How it works

It's very simple. the Label element uses the "for" tag to reference to a form's element by id. In this case, we used "img" as the reference key between them. Once it is done, whenever you click on the label, it automatically trigger the form's element click event which is the file element click event in our case. We then make the file element invisible by using display:none and not visibility:hidden so that it doesn't create empty space.

Enjoy coding

Why would a "java.net.ConnectException: Connection timed out" exception occur when URL is up?

I'd recommend raising the connection timeout time before getting the output stream, like so:

urlConnection.setConnectTimeout(1000);

Where 1000 is in milliseconds (1000 milliseconds = 1 second).

Shall we always use [unowned self] inside closure in Swift

Update 11/2016

I wrote an article on this extending this answer (looking into SIL to understand what ARC does), check it out here.

Original answer

The previous answers don't really give straightforward rules on when to use one over the other and why, so let me add a few things.

The unowned or weak discussion boils down to a question of lifetime of the variable and the closure that references it.

swift weak vs unowned

Scenarios

You can have two possible scenarios:

  1. The closure have the same lifetime of the variable, so the closure will be reachable only until the variable is reachable. The variable and the closure have the same lifetime. In this case you should declare the reference as unowned. A common example is the [unowned self] used in many example of small closures that do something in the context of their parent and that not being referenced anywhere else do not outlive their parents.

  2. The closure lifetime is independent from the one of the variable, the closure could still be referenced when the variable is not reachable anymore. In this case you should declare the reference as weak and verify it's not nil before using it (don't force unwrap). A common example of this is the [weak delegate] you can see in some examples of closure referencing a completely unrelated (lifetime-wise) delegate object.

Actual Usage

So, which will/should you actually use most of the times?

Quoting Joe Groff from twitter:

Unowned is faster and allows for immutability and nonoptionality.

If you don't need weak, don't use it.

You'll find more about unowned* inner workings here.

* Usually also referred to as unowned(safe) to indicate that runtime checks (that lead to a crash for invalid references) are performed before accessing the unowned reference.

Using headers with the Python requests library's get method

This answer taught me that you can set headers for an entire session:

s = requests.Session()
s.auth = ('user', 'pass')
s.headers.update({'x-test': 'true'})

# both 'x-test' and 'x-test2' are sent
s.get('http://httpbin.org/headers', headers={'x-test2': 'true'})

Bonus: Sessions also handle cookies.

JavaScript: set dropdown selected item based on option text

A modern alternative:

const textToFind = 'Google';
const dd = document.getElementById ('MyDropDown');
dd.selectedIndex = [...dd.options].findIndex (option => option.text === textToFind);

How to capture the screenshot of a specific element rather than entire page using Selenium Webdriver?

I wasted a lot of time on taking screenshot and I want to save yours. I have used chrome + selenium + c# the result was totally horrible. Finally i wrote a function :

driver.Manage().Window.Maximize();
             RemoteWebElement remElement = (RemoteWebElement)driver.FindElement(By.Id("submit-button")); 
             Point location = remElement.LocationOnScreenOnceScrolledIntoView;  

             int viewportWidth = Convert.ToInt32(((IJavaScriptExecutor)driver).ExecuteScript("return document.documentElement.clientWidth"));
             int viewportHeight = Convert.ToInt32(((IJavaScriptExecutor)driver).ExecuteScript("return document.documentElement.clientHeight"));

             driver.SwitchTo();

             int elementLocation_X = location.X;
             int elementLocation_Y = location.Y;

             IWebElement img = driver.FindElement(By.Id("submit-button"));

             int elementSize_Width = img.Size.Width;
             int elementSize_Height = img.Size.Height;

             Size s = new Size();
             s.Width = driver.Manage().Window.Size.Width;
             s.Height = driver.Manage().Window.Size.Height;

             Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(s.Width, s.Height);
             Graphics graphics = Graphics.FromImage(bitmap as Image);
             graphics.CopyFromScreen(0, 0, 0, 0, s);

             bitmap.Save(filePath, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);

             RectangleF part = new RectangleF(elementLocation_X, elementLocation_Y + (s.Height - viewportHeight), elementSize_Width, elementSize_Height);

             Bitmap bmpobj = (Bitmap)Image.FromFile(filePath);
             Bitmap bn = bmpobj.Clone(part, bmpobj.PixelFormat);
             bn.Save(finalPictureFilePath, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png); 

Format cell if cell contains date less than today

Your first problem was you weren't using your compare symbols correctly.

< less than
> greater than
<= less than or equal to
>= greater than or equal to

To answer your other questions; get the condition to work on every cell in the column and what about blanks?

What about blanks?

Add an extra IF condition to check if the cell is blank or not, if it isn't blank perform the check. =IF(B2="","",B2<=TODAY())

Condition on every cell in column

Mysql: Setup the format of DATETIME to 'DD-MM-YYYY HH:MM:SS' when creating a table

As others have explained that it is not possible, but here's alternative solution, it requires a little tuning, but it works like datetime column.

I started to think, how I could make formatting possible. I got an idea. What about making trigger for it? I mean, adding column with type char, and then updating that column using a MySQL trigger. And that worked! I made some research related to triggers, and finally come up with these queries:

CREATE TRIGGER timestampper BEFORE INSERT ON table
FOR EACH
ROW SET NEW.timestamp = DATE_FORMAT(NOW(), '%d-%m-%Y %H:%i:%s');
CREATE TRIGGER timestampper BEFORE UPDATE ON table
FOR EACH
ROW SET NEW.timestamp = DATE_FORMAT(NOW(), '%d-%m-%Y %H:%i:%s');

You can't use TIMESTAMP or DATETIME as a column type, because these have their own format, and they update automatically.

So, here's your alternative timestamp or datetime alternative! Hope this helped, at least I'm glad that I got this working.

Is there a pretty print for PHP?

If you want a nicer representation of any PHP variable (than just plain text), I suggest you try nice_r(); it prints out values plus relevant useful information (eg: properties and methods for objects). enter image description here Disclaimer: I wrote this myself.

Permissions for /var/www/html

I have just been in a similar position with regards to setting the 777 permissions on the apache website hosting directory. After a little bit of tinkering it seems that changing the group ownership of the folder to the "apache" group allowed access to the folder based on the user group.

1) make sure that the group ownership of the folder is set to the group apache used / generates for use. (check /etc/groups, mine was www-data on Ubuntu)

2) set the folder permissions to 774 to stop "everyone" from having any change access, but allowing the owner and group permissions required.

3) add your user account to the group that has permission on the folder (mine was www-data).

SQL Server Installation - What is the Installation Media Folder?

For me the Issue was I didn't run the setup as Administrator, after running the setup as administrator the message go away and I was prompted to install and continue process.

Javascript change color of text and background to input value

Things seems a little confused in the code in your question, so I am going to give you an example of what I think you are try to do.

First considerations are about mixing HTML, Javascript and CSS:

Why is using onClick() in HTML a bad practice?

Unobtrusive Javascript

Inline Styles vs Classes

I will be removing inline content and splitting these into their appropriate files.

Next, I am going to go with the "click" event and displose of the "change" event, as it is not clear that you want or need both.

Your function changeBackground sets both the backround color and the text color to the same value (your text will not be seen), so I am caching the color value as we don't need to look it up in the DOM twice.

CSS

#TheForm {
    margin-left: 396px;
}
#submitColor {
    margin-left: 48px;
    margin-top: 5px;
}

HTML

<form id="TheForm">
    <input id="color" type="text" />
    <br/>
    <input id="submitColor" value="Submit" type="button" />
</form>
<span id="coltext">This text should have the same color as you put in the text box</span>

Javascript

function changeBackground() {
    var color = document.getElementById("color").value; // cached

    // The working function for changing background color.
    document.bgColor = color;

    // The code I'd like to use for changing the text simultaneously - however it does not work.
    document.getElementById("coltext").style.color = color;
}

document.getElementById("submitColor").addEventListener("click", changeBackground, false);

Color Values

CSS colors are defined using a hexadecimal (hex) notation for the combination of Red, Green, and Blue color values (RGB). The lowest value that can be given to one of the light sources is 0 (hex 00). The highest value is 255 (hex FF).

Hex values are written as 3 double digit numbers, starting with a # sign.

Update: as pointed out by @Ian

Hex can be either 3 or 6 characters long

Source: W3C

Numerical color values

The format of an RGB value in hexadecimal notation is a ‘#’ immediately followed by either three or six hexadecimal characters. The three-digit RGB notation (#rgb) is converted into six-digit form (#rrggbb) by replicating digits, not by adding zeros. For example, #fb0 expands to #ffbb00. This ensures that white (#ffffff) can be specified with the short notation (#fff) and removes any dependencies on the color depth of the display.

Here is an alternative function that will check that your input is a valid CSS Hex Color, it will set the text color only or throw an alert if it is not valid.

For regex testing, I will use this pattern

/^#(?:[0-9a-f]{3}){1,2}$/i

but if you were regex matching and wanted to break the numbers into groups then you would require a different pattern

function changeBackground() {
    var color = document.getElementById("color").value.trim(),
        rxValidHex = /^#(?:[0-9a-f]{3}){1,2}$/i;

    if (rxValidHex.test(color)) {
        document.getElementById("coltext").style.color = color;
    } else {
        alert("Invalid CSS Hex Color");
    }
}

document.getElementById("submitColor").addEventListener("click", changeBackground, false);

On jsfiddle

Here is a further modification that will allow colours by name along with by hex.

function changeBackground() {
    var names = ["AliceBlue", "AntiqueWhite", "Aqua", "Aquamarine", "Azure", "Beige", "Bisque", "Black", "BlanchedAlmond", "Blue", "BlueViolet", "Brown", "BurlyWood", "CadetBlue", "Chartreuse", "Chocolate", "Coral", "CornflowerBlue", "Cornsilk", "Crimson", "Cyan", "DarkBlue", "DarkCyan", "DarkGoldenRod", "DarkGray", "DarkGrey", "DarkGreen", "DarkKhaki", "DarkMagenta", "DarkOliveGreen", "Darkorange", "DarkOrchid", "DarkRed", "DarkSalmon", "DarkSeaGreen", "DarkSlateBlue", "DarkSlateGray", "DarkSlateGrey", "DarkTurquoise", "DarkViolet", "DeepPink", "DeepSkyBlue", "DimGray", "DimGrey", "DodgerBlue", "FireBrick", "FloralWhite", "ForestGreen", "Fuchsia", "Gainsboro", "GhostWhite", "Gold", "GoldenRod", "Gray", "Grey", "Green", "GreenYellow", "HoneyDew", "HotPink", "IndianRed", "Indigo", "Ivory", "Khaki", "Lavender", "LavenderBlush", "LawnGreen", "LemonChiffon", "LightBlue", "LightCoral", "LightCyan", "LightGoldenRodYellow", "LightGray", "LightGrey", "LightGreen", "LightPink", "LightSalmon", "LightSeaGreen", "LightSkyBlue", "LightSlateGray", "LightSlateGrey", "LightSteelBlue", "LightYellow", "Lime", "LimeGreen", "Linen", "Magenta", "Maroon", "MediumAquaMarine", "MediumBlue", "MediumOrchid", "MediumPurple", "MediumSeaGreen", "MediumSlateBlue", "MediumSpringGreen", "MediumTurquoise", "MediumVioletRed", "MidnightBlue", "MintCream", "MistyRose", "Moccasin", "NavajoWhite", "Navy", "OldLace", "Olive", "OliveDrab", "Orange", "OrangeRed", "Orchid", "PaleGoldenRod", "PaleGreen", "PaleTurquoise", "PaleVioletRed", "PapayaWhip", "PeachPuff", "Peru", "Pink", "Plum", "PowderBlue", "Purple", "Red", "RosyBrown", "RoyalBlue", "SaddleBrown", "Salmon", "SandyBrown", "SeaGreen", "SeaShell", "Sienna", "Silver", "SkyBlue", "SlateBlue", "SlateGray", "SlateGrey", "Snow", "SpringGreen", "SteelBlue", "Tan", "Teal", "Thistle", "Tomato", "Turquoise", "Violet", "Wheat", "White", "WhiteSmoke", "Yellow", "YellowGreen"],
        color = document.getElementById("color").value.trim(),
        rxValidHex = /^#(?:[0-9a-f]{3}){1,2}$/i,
        formattedName = color.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + color.slice(1).toLowerCase();

    if (names.indexOf(formattedName) !== -1 || rxValidHex.test(color)) {
        document.getElementById("coltext").style.color = color;
    } else {
        alert("Invalid CSS Color");
    }
}

Case statement in MySQL

I hope this would provide you with the right solution:

Syntax:

   CASE  
        WHEN search_condition THEN statement_list  
       [WHEN search_condition THEN statement_list]....
       [ELSE statement_list]  
   END CASE

Implementation:

select id, action_heading,  
   case when
             action_type="Expense" then action_amount  
             else NULL   
             end as Expense_amt,   
    case when  
             action_type ="Income" then action_amount  
             else NULL  
             end as Income_amt  
  from tbl_transaction;

Here I am using CASE statement as it is more flexible than if-then-else. It allows more than one branch. And CASE statement is standard SQL and works in most databases.

npm install errors with Error: ENOENT, chmod

Be careful with invalid values for keys "directories" and "files" in package.json

If you start with a new application, and you want to start completely blank, you have to either start in a complete empty folder or have a valid package.json file in it.

If you do not want to create a package.json file first, just type: npm i some_package

Package with name "some_package" should be installed correctly in a new sub folder "node_modules".

If you create a package.json file first, type: npm init Keep all the defaults (by just clicking ENTER), you should end up with a valid file.

It should look like this:

{
  "name": "yourfoldername",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC"
}

Note that the following keys are missing: "directories", "repository" and "files". It looks like if you use incorrect values for "directories" and/or "files", you are not able to install the package. Leaving these keys out, solved the issue for me.

Also note key "main". This one is present, but it does contain an invalid value. No file "index.js" exists (yet). You can safely remove it.

Now type: npm i some_package and package with name "some_package" should be installed correctly in a new sub folder "node_modules".

How to solve a timeout error in Laravel 5

I had a similar problem just now. However, this had nothing to do with modifying the php.ini file. It was from a for loop. If you are having nested for loops, make sure you are using the iterator properly. In my case, I was iterating the outer iterator from my inner iterator.

How do I log a Python error with debug information?

If you look at the this code example (which works for Python 2 and 3) you'll see the function definition below which can extract

  • line number
  • code context
  • file path

for an entire stack trace, whether or not there has been an exception:

def sentry_friendly_trace(get_last_exception=True):
    try:
        current_call = list(map(frame_trans, traceback.extract_stack()))
        alert_frame = current_call[-4]
        before_call = current_call[:-4]

        err_type, err, tb = sys.exc_info() if get_last_exception else (None, None, None)
        after_call = [alert_frame] if err_type is None else extract_all_sentry_frames_from_exception(tb)

        return before_call + after_call, err, alert_frame
    except:
        return None, None, None

Of course, this function depends on the entire gist linked above, and in particular extract_all_sentry_frames_from_exception() and frame_trans() but the exception info extraction totals less than around 60 lines.

Hope that helps!

How to use a variable in the replacement side of the Perl substitution operator?

On the replacement side, you must use $1, not \1.

And you can only do what you want by making replace an evalable expression that gives the result you want and telling s/// to eval it with the /ee modifier like so:

$find="start (.*) end";
$replace='"foo $1 bar"';

$var = "start middle end";
$var =~ s/$find/$replace/ee;

print "var: $var\n";

To see why the "" and double /e are needed, see the effect of the double eval here:

$ perl
$foo = "middle";
$replace='"foo $foo bar"';
print eval('$replace'), "\n";
print eval(eval('$replace')), "\n";
__END__
"foo $foo bar"
foo middle bar

(Though as ikegami notes, a single /e or the first /e of a double e isn't really an eval(); rather, it tells the compiler that the substitution is code to compile, not a string. Nonetheless, eval(eval(...)) still demonstrates why you need to do what you need to do to get /ee to work as desired.)

How to get everything after a certain character?

I use strrchr(). For instance to find the extension of a file I use this function:

$string = 'filename.jpg';
$extension = strrchr( $string, '.'); //returns ".jpg"

Why can't I push to this bare repository?

I use SourceTree git client, and I see that their initial commit/push command is:

git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false push -v --tags --set-upstream origin master:master

Getting Image from URL (Java)

Try:

public class ImageComponent extends JComponent {
  private final BufferedImage img;

  public ImageComponent(URL url) throws IOException {

  }

  @Override
  protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
    super.paintComponent(g);
    g.drawImage(img, 0, 0, img.getWidth(), img.getHeight(), this);
  }

  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    final URL kitten = new URL("https://placekitten.com/g/200/300");

    final ImageComponent image = new ImageComponent(kitten);

    JFrame frame = new JFrame("Test");
    frame.add(new JScrollPane(image));

    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    frame.setSize(400, 300);
    frame.setVisible(true);
  }

Python, print all floats to 2 decimal places in output

Not directly in the way you want to write that, no. One of the design tenets of Python is "Explicit is better than implicit" (see import this). This means that it's better to describe what you want rather than having the output format depend on some global formatting setting or something. You could of course format your code differently to make it look nicer:

print         '%.2f' % var1, \
      'kg =' ,'%.2f' % var2, \
      'lb =' ,'%.2f' % var3, \
      'gal =','%.2f' % var4, \
      'l'

How to check if an excel cell is empty using Apache POI?

Gagravarr's answer is quite good!


Check if an excel cell is empty

But if you assume that a cell is also empty if it contains an empty String (""), you need some additional code. This can happen, if a cell was edited and then not cleared properly (for how to clear a cell properly, see further below).

I wrote myself a helper to check if an XSSFCell is empty (including an empty String).

 /**
 * Checks if the value of a given {@link XSSFCell} is empty.
 * 
 * @param cell
 *            The {@link XSSFCell}.
 * @return {@code true} if the {@link XSSFCell} is empty. {@code false}
 *         otherwise.
 */
public static boolean isCellEmpty(final XSSFCell cell) {
    if (cell == null) { // use row.getCell(x, Row.CREATE_NULL_AS_BLANK) to avoid null cells
        return true;
    }

    if (cell.getCellType() == Cell.CELL_TYPE_BLANK) {
        return true;
    }

    if (cell.getCellType() == Cell.CELL_TYPE_STRING && cell.getStringCellValue().trim().isEmpty()) {
        return true;
    }

    return false;
}

Pay attention for newer POI Version

They first changed getCellType() to getCellTypeEnum() as of Version 3.15 Beta 3 and then moved back to getCellType() as of Version 4.0.

  • Version >= 3.15 Beta 3:

    • Use CellType.BLANK and CellType.STRING instead of Cell.CELL_TYPE_BLANK and Cell.CELL_TYPE_STRING
  • Version >= 3.15 Beta 3 && Version < 4.0

    • Use Cell.getCellTypeEnum() instead of Cell.getCellType()

But better double check yourself, because they planned to change it back in future releases.


Example

This JUnit test shows the case in which the additional empty check is needed.

Scenario: the content of a cell is changed within a Java program. Later on, in the same Java program, the cell is checked for emptiness. The test will fail if the isCellEmpty(XSSFCell cell) function doesn't check for empty Strings.

@Test
public void testIsCellEmpty_CellHasEmptyString_ReturnTrue() {
    // Arrange
    XSSFCell cell = new XSSFWorkbook().createSheet().createRow(0).createCell(0);

    boolean expectedValue = true;
    boolean actualValue;

    // Act
    cell.setCellValue("foo");
    cell.setCellValue("bar");
    cell.setCellValue(" ");
    actualValue = isCellEmpty(cell);

    // Assert
    Assert.assertEquals(expectedValue, actualValue);
}

In addition: Clear a cell properly

Just in case if someone wants to know, how to clear the content of a cell properly. There are two ways to archive that (I would recommend way 1).

// way 1
public static void clearCell(final XSSFCell cell) {
    cell.setCellType(Cell.CELL_TYPE_BLANK);
}

// way 2
public static void clearCell(final XSSFCell cell) {
    String nullString = null;
    cell.setCellValue(nullString); 
}

Why way 1? Explicit is better than implicit (thanks, Python)

Way 1: sets the cell type explicitly back to blank.
Way 2: sets the cell type implicitly back to blank due to a side effect when setting a cell value to a null String.

Change tab bar tint color on iOS 7

Try the below:

[[UITabBar appearance] setTintColor:[UIColor redColor]];
[[UITabBar appearance] setBarTintColor:[UIColor yellowColor]];

To tint the non active buttons, put the below code in your VC's viewDidLoad:

UITabBarItem *tabBarItem = [yourTabBarController.tabBar.items objectAtIndex:0];

UIImage *unselectedImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"icon-unselected"];
UIImage *selectedImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"icon-selected"];

[tabBarItem setImage: [unselectedImage imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal]];
[tabBarItem setSelectedImage: selectedImage];

You need to do this for all the tabBarItems, and yes I know it is ugly and hope there will be cleaner way to do this.

Swift:

UITabBar.appearance().tintColor = UIColor.red

tabBarItem.image = UIImage(named: "unselected")?.withRenderingMode(.alwaysOriginal)
tabBarItem.selectedImage = UIImage(named: "selected")?.withRenderingMode(.alwaysOriginal)

How to get build time stamp from Jenkins build variables?

One way this can be done is using shell script in global environment section, here, I am using UNIX timestamp but you can use any shell script syntax compatible time format:

        def BUILDVERSION = sh(script: "echo `date +%s`", returnStdout: true).trim()
    }

    stages {

ThreeJS: Remove object from scene

I had The same problem like you have. I try this code and it works just fine: When you create your object put this object.is_ob = true

function loadOBJFile(objFile){            
    /* material of OBJ model */                                          
    var OBJMaterial = new THREE.MeshPhongMaterial({color: 0x8888ff});
    var loader = new THREE.OBJLoader();
    loader.load(objFile, function (object){
        object.traverse (function (child){
            if (child instanceof THREE.Mesh) {
                child.material = OBJMaterial;
            }
        });
        object.position.y = 0.1;
      // add this code
        object.is_ob = true;

        scene.add(object);
    });     
}

function addEntity(object) {
    loadOBJFile(object.name);
}

And then then you delete your object try this code:

function removeEntity(object){
    var obj, i;
            for ( i = scene.children.length - 1; i >= 0 ; i -- ) {
                obj = scene.children[ i ];
                if ( obj.is_ob) {
                    scene.remove(obj);

                }
            }
}

Try that and tell me if that works, it seems that three js doesn't recognize the object after added to the scene. But with this trick it works.

Lodash .clone and .cloneDeep behaviors

Thanks to Gruff Bunny and Louis' comments, I found the source of the issue.

As I use Backbone.js too, I loaded a special build of Lodash compatible with Backbone and Underscore that disables some features. In this example:

var clone = _.clone(data, true);

data[1].values.d = 'x';

I just replaced the Underscore build with the Normal build in my Backbone application and the application is still working. So I can now use the Lodash .clone with the expected behaviour.

Edit 2018: the Underscore build doesn't seem to exist anymore. If you are reading this in 2018, you could be interested by this documentation (Backbone and Lodash).

How to do a GitHub pull request

To learn how to make a pull request I just followed two separate help pages on Github (linked below as bullet points). The following command line commands are for Part 1. Part 2, the actual pull request, is done entirely on Github's website.

$ git clone https://github.com/tim-peterson/dwolla-php.git
$ cd dwolla-php
$ git remote add upstream https://github.com/Dwolla/dwolla-php.git
$ git fetch upstream
// make your changes to this newly cloned, local repo 
$ git add .
$ git commit -m '1st commit to dwolla'
$ git push origin master
  • Part 1: fork someone's repo: https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo

    1. click the 'fork' button on the repo you want to contribute to, in this case: Dwolla's PHP repo (Dwolla/dwolla-php)
    2. get the URL for your newly created fork, in this case: https://github.com/tim-peterson/dwolla-php.git (tim-peterson/dwolla-php)
    3. type the git clone->cd dwolla-php->git remote->git fetch sequence above to clone your fork somewhere in your computer (i.e., "copy/paste" it to, in this case: third_party TimPeterson$) and sync it with the master repo (Dwolla/dwolla-php)
    4. make your changes to your local repo
    5. type the git add->git commit->git push sequence above to push your changes to the remote repo, i.e., your fork on Github (tim-peterson/dwolla-php)
  • Part 2: make pull-request: https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests

    1. go to your fork's webpage on Github (https://github.com/tim-peterson/dwolla-php)
    2. click 'pull-request' button
    3. give pull-request a name, fill in details of what changes you made, click submit button.
    4. you're done!!

Reading a json file in Android

Put that file in assets.

For project created in Android Studio project you need to create assets folder under the main folder.

Read that file as:

public String loadJSONFromAsset(Context context) {
        String json = null;
        try {
            InputStream is = context.getAssets().open("file_name.json");

            int size = is.available();

            byte[] buffer = new byte[size];

            is.read(buffer);

            is.close();

            json = new String(buffer, "UTF-8");


        } catch (IOException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
            return null;
        }
        return json;

    }

and then you can simply read this string return by this function as

JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(json_return_by_the_function);

For further details regarding JSON see http://www.vogella.com/articles/AndroidJSON/article.html

Hope you will get what you want.

How to find a Java Memory Leak

A tool is a big help.

However, there are times when you can't use a tool: the heap dump is so huge it crashes the tool, you are trying to troubleshoot a machine in some production environment to which you only have shell access, etc.

In that case, it helps to know your way around the hprof dump file.

Look for SITES BEGIN. This shows you what objects are using the most memory. But the objects aren't lumped together solely by type: each entry also includes a "trace" ID. You can then search for that "TRACE nnnn" to see the top few frames of the stack where the object was allocated. Often, once I see where the object is allocated, I find a bug and I'm done. Also, note that you can control how many frames are recorded in the stack with the options to -Xrunhprof.

If you check out the allocation site, and don't see anything wrong, you have to start backward chaining from some of those live objects to root objects, to find the unexpected reference chain. This is where a tool really helps, but you can do the same thing by hand (well, with grep). There is not just one root object (i.e., object not subject to garbage collection). Threads, classes, and stack frames act as root objects, and anything they reference strongly is not collectible.

To do the chaining, look in the HEAP DUMP section for entries with the bad trace id. This will take you to an OBJ or ARR entry, which shows a unique object identifier in hexadecimal. Search for all occurrences of that id to find who's got a strong reference to the object. Follow each of those paths backward as they branch until you figure out where the leak is. See why a tool is so handy?

Static members are a repeat offender for memory leaks. In fact, even without a tool, it'd be worth spending a few minutes looking through your code for static Map members. Can a map grow large? Does anything ever clean up its entries?

Where will log4net create this log file?

if you want to choose dynamically the path to the log file use the method written in this link: method to dynamic choose the log file path.

if you want you can set the path to where your app EXE file exists like this -

var logFileLocation = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName
(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location);

and then send this 'logFileLocation' to the method written in the link above like this:

Initialize(logFileLocation);

and you are ready to go! :)

Java Date vs Calendar

Dates should be used as immutable points in time; Calendars are mutable, and can be passed around and modified if you need to collaborate with other classes to come up with a final date. Consider them analogous to String and StringBuilder and you'll understand how I consider they should be used.

(And yes, I know Date isn't actually technically immutable, but the intention is that it should not be mutable, and if nothing calls the deprecated methods then it is so.)

add elements to object array

You can try

Subject[] subjects = new Subject[2];
subjects[0] = new Subject{....};
subjects[1] = new Subject{....};

alternatively you can use List

List<Subject> subjects = new List<Subject>();
subjects.add(new Subject{....});
subjects.add(new Subject{....});

How can I see what I am about to push with git?

There is always dry-run:

git push --dry-run

It will do everything except for the actually sending of the data.

If you want a more graphical view you have a bunch of options.

Tig and the gitk script that come with git both display the current branch of your local copy and the branch of the remote or origin.

alt text

So any commits you make that are after the origin are the commits that will be pushed.

Open gitk from shell while in the branch you want to push by typing gitk&, then to see the difference between what is on the remote and what you are about to push to the remote, select your local unpushed commit and right-click on the remote and choose "Diff this -> selected": alt text

Calling Oracle stored procedure from C#?

It's basically the same mechanism as for a non query command with:

  • command.CommandText = the name of the stored procedure
  • command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
  • As many calls to command.Parameters.Add as the number of parameters the sp requires
  • command.ExecuteNonQuery

There are plenty of examples out there, the first one returned by Google is this one

There's also a little trap you might fall into, if your SP is a function, your return value parameter must be first in the parameters collection

When should I create a destructor?

UPDATE: This question was the subject of my blog in May of 2015. Thanks for the great question! See the blog for a long list of falsehoods that people commonly believe about finalization.

When should I manually create a destructor?

Almost never.

Typically one only creates a destructor when your class is holding on to some expensive unmanaged resource that must be cleaned up when the object goes away. It is better to use the disposable pattern to ensure that the resource is cleaned up. A destructor is then essentially an assurance that if the consumer of your object forgets to dispose it, the resource still gets cleaned up eventually. (Maybe.)

If you make a destructor be extremely careful and understand how the garbage collector works. Destructors are really weird:

  • They don't run on your thread; they run on their own thread. Don't cause deadlocks!
  • An unhandled exception thrown from a destructor is bad news. It's on its own thread; who is going to catch it?
  • A destructor may be called on an object after the constructor starts but before the constructor finishes. A properly written destructor will not rely on invariants established in the constructor.
  • A destructor can "resurrect" an object, making a dead object alive again. That's really weird. Don't do it.
  • A destructor might never run; you can't rely on the object ever being scheduled for finalization. It probably will be, but that's not a guarantee.

Almost nothing that is normally true is true in a destructor. Be really, really careful. Writing a correct destructor is very difficult.

When have you needed to create a destructor?

When testing the part of the compiler that handles destructors. I've never needed to do so in production code. I seldom write objects that manipulate unmanaged resources.

Postgres error on insert - ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0x00

If you need to store null characters in text fields and don't want to change your data type other than text then you can follow my solution too:

Before insert:

myValue = myValue.replaceAll("\u0000", "SomeVerySpecialText")

After select:

myValue = myValue.replaceAll("SomeVerySpecialText","\u0000")

I've used "null" as my SomeVerySpecialText which I am sure that there will be no any "null" string in my values at all.

Rails: How does the respond_to block work?

The meta-programming behind responder registration (see Parched Squid's answer) also allows you to do nifty stuff like this:

def index
  @posts = Post.all

  respond_to do |format|
    format.html  # index.html.erb
    format.json  { render :json => @posts }
    format.csv   { render :csv => @posts }
    format.js
  end
end

The csv line will cause to_csv to be called on each post when you visit /posts.csv. This makes it easy to export data as CSV (or any other format) from your rails site.

The js line will cause a javascript file /posts.js (or /posts.js.coffee) to be rendered/executed. I've found that to be a light-weight way to create an Ajax enabled site using jQuery UI pop-ups.

Uninstall / remove a Homebrew package including all its dependencies

EDIT:

It looks like the issue is now solved using an external command called brew rmdeps or brew rmtree.

To install and use, issue the following commands:

$ brew tap beeftornado/rmtree
$ brew rmtree <package>

See the above link for more information and discussion.


Original answer:

It appears that currently, there's no easy way to accomplish this.

However, I filed an issue on Homebrew's GitHub page, and somebody suggested a temporary solution until they add an exclusive command to solve this.

There's an external command called brew leaves which prints all packages that are not dependencies of other packages.

If you do a logical and on the output of brew leaves and brew deps <package>, you might just get a list of the orphaned dependency packages, which you can uninstall manually afterwards. Combine this with xargs and you'll get what you need, I guess (untested, don't count on this).


EDIT: Somebody just suggested a very similar solution, using join instead of xargs:

brew rm FORMULA
brew rm $(join <(brew leaves) <(brew deps FORMULA))

See the comment on the issue mentioned above for more info.

How to plot a function curve in R

I did some searching on the web, and this are some ways that I found:

The easiest way is using curve without predefined function

curve(x^2, from=1, to=50, , xlab="x", ylab="y")

enter image description here

You can also use curve when you have a predfined function

eq = function(x){x*x}
curve(eq, from=1, to=50, xlab="x", ylab="y")

enter image description here

If you want to use ggplot,

library("ggplot2")
eq = function(x){x*x}
ggplot(data.frame(x=c(1, 50)), aes(x=x)) + 
  stat_function(fun=eq)

enter image description here

How to get the anchor from the URL using jQuery?

If you just have a plain url string (and therefore don't have a hash attribute) you can also use a regular expression:

var anchor = url.match(/#(.*)/)[1]

ORA-01008: not all variables bound. They are bound

I'd a similar problem in a legacy application, but de "--" was string parameter.

Ex.:

Dim cmd As New OracleCommand("INSERT INTO USER (name, address, photo) VALUES ('User1', '--', :photo)", oracleConnection)
Dim fs As IO.FileStream = New IO.FileStream("c:\img.jpg", IO.FileMode.Open)
Dim br As New IO.BinaryReader(fs)
cmd.Parameters.Add(New OracleParameter("photo", OracleDbType.Blob)).Value = br.ReadBytes(fs.Length)
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() 'here throws ORA-01008

Changing address parameter value '--' to '00' or other thing, works.

Error: select command denied to user '<userid>'@'<ip-address>' for table '<table-name>'

A bit late to the party but, should you have root access, you can do the following directly:

Log into your mysql as root,

$ mysql -u root -p

Show databases;

mysql>SHOW DATABASES;

Select mysql database, which is where all privileges info is located

mysql>USE mysql;

Show tables.

mysql>SHOW TABLES;

The table concerning privileges for your case is 'db', so let's see what columns it has:

mysql>DESC db;

In order to list the users privileges, type the following command, for example:

mysql>SELECT user, host, db, Select_priv, Insert_priv, Update_priv, Delete_priv FROM db ORDER BY user, db;

If you can't find that user or if you see that that user has a 'N' in the Select_priv column, then you have to either INSERT or UPDATE accordingly:

INSERT:

INSERT INTO db (Host,Db,User,Select_priv,Insert_priv,Update_priv,Delete_priv) VALUES ('localhost','DBname','UserName','Y' ,'N','N','N');

UPDATE:

UPDATE db SET Select_priv = 'Y' WHERE User = 'UserName' AND Db = 'DBname' AND Host='localhost';

Finally, type the following command:

Dynamically add data to a javascript map

Javascript now has a specific built in object called Map, you can call as follows :

   var myMap = new Map()

You can update it with .set :

   myMap.set("key0","value")

This has the advantage of methods you can use to handle look ups, like the boolean .has

  myMap.has("key1"); // evaluates to false 

You can use this before calling .get on your Map object to handle looking up non-existent keys

How to add new DataRow into DataTable?

You can try with this code - based on Rows.Add method

DataTable table = new DataTable();
DataRow row = table.NewRow();
table.Rows.Add(row);

When should static_cast, dynamic_cast, const_cast and reinterpret_cast be used?

static_cast is the first cast you should attempt to use. It does things like implicit conversions between types (such as int to float, or pointer to void*), and it can also call explicit conversion functions (or implicit ones). In many cases, explicitly stating static_cast isn't necessary, but it's important to note that the T(something) syntax is equivalent to (T)something and should be avoided (more on that later). A T(something, something_else) is safe, however, and guaranteed to call the constructor.

static_cast can also cast through inheritance hierarchies. It is unnecessary when casting upwards (towards a base class), but when casting downwards it can be used as long as it doesn't cast through virtual inheritance. It does not do checking, however, and it is undefined behavior to static_cast down a hierarchy to a type that isn't actually the type of the object.


const_cast can be used to remove or add const to a variable; no other C++ cast is capable of removing it (not even reinterpret_cast). It is important to note that modifying a formerly const value is only undefined if the original variable is const; if you use it to take the const off a reference to something that wasn't declared with const, it is safe. This can be useful when overloading member functions based on const, for instance. It can also be used to add const to an object, such as to call a member function overload.

const_cast also works similarly on volatile, though that's less common.


dynamic_cast is exclusively used for handling polymorphism. You can cast a pointer or reference to any polymorphic type to any other class type (a polymorphic type has at least one virtual function, declared or inherited). You can use it for more than just casting downwards – you can cast sideways or even up another chain. The dynamic_cast will seek out the desired object and return it if possible. If it can't, it will return nullptr in the case of a pointer, or throw std::bad_cast in the case of a reference.

dynamic_cast has some limitations, though. It doesn't work if there are multiple objects of the same type in the inheritance hierarchy (the so-called 'dreaded diamond') and you aren't using virtual inheritance. It also can only go through public inheritance - it will always fail to travel through protected or private inheritance. This is rarely an issue, however, as such forms of inheritance are rare.


reinterpret_cast is the most dangerous cast, and should be used very sparingly. It turns one type directly into another — such as casting the value from one pointer to another, or storing a pointer in an int, or all sorts of other nasty things. Largely, the only guarantee you get with reinterpret_cast is that normally if you cast the result back to the original type, you will get the exact same value (but not if the intermediate type is smaller than the original type). There are a number of conversions that reinterpret_cast cannot do, too. It's used primarily for particularly weird conversions and bit manipulations, like turning a raw data stream into actual data, or storing data in the low bits of a pointer to aligned data.


C-style cast and function-style cast are casts using (type)object or type(object), respectively, and are functionally equivalent. They are defined as the first of the following which succeeds:

  • const_cast
  • static_cast (though ignoring access restrictions)
  • static_cast (see above), then const_cast
  • reinterpret_cast
  • reinterpret_cast, then const_cast

It can therefore be used as a replacement for other casts in some instances, but can be extremely dangerous because of the ability to devolve into a reinterpret_cast, and the latter should be preferred when explicit casting is needed, unless you are sure static_cast will succeed or reinterpret_cast will fail. Even then, consider the longer, more explicit option.

C-style casts also ignore access control when performing a static_cast, which means that they have the ability to perform an operation that no other cast can. This is mostly a kludge, though, and in my mind is just another reason to avoid C-style casts.

How to create a new object instance from a Type

If you want to use the default constructor then the solution using System.Activator presented earlier is probably the most convenient. However, if the type lacks a default constructor or you have to use a non-default one, then an option is to use reflection or System.ComponentModel.TypeDescriptor. In case of reflection, it is enough to know just the type name (with its namespace).

Example using reflection:

ObjectType instance = 
    (ObjectType)System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().CreateInstance(
        typeName: objectType.FulName, // string including namespace of the type
        ignoreCase: false,
        bindingAttr: BindingFlags.Default,
        binder: null,  // use default binder
        args: new object[] { args, to, constructor },
        culture: null, // use CultureInfo from current thread
        activationAttributes: null
    );

Example using TypeDescriptor:

ObjectType instance = 
    (ObjectType)System.ComponentModel.TypeDescriptor.CreateInstance(
        provider: null, // use standard type description provider, which uses reflection
        objectType: objectType,
        argTypes: new Type[] { types, of, args },
        args: new object[] { args, to, constructor }
    );

The modern approach: flexbox

Simply add the following CSS to the container element (here, the div):

div {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: space-between;
}

_x000D_
_x000D_
div {_x000D_
  display: flex;_x000D_
  justify-content: space-between;_x000D_
}
_x000D_
<div>_x000D_
 <img src="http://placehold.it/100x100" alt=""  /> _x000D_
 <img src="http://placehold.it/100x100" alt=""  />_x000D_
 <img src="http://placehold.it/100x100" alt="" />_x000D_
</div>
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

The old way (for ancient browsers - prior to flexbox)

Use text-align: justify; on the container element.

Then stretch the content to take up 100% width

MARKUP

Entity Framework: There is already an open DataReader associated with this Command

It is not about closing connection. EF manages connection correctly. My understanding of this problem is that there are multiple data retrieval commands executed on single connection (or single command with multiple selects) while next DataReader is executed before first one has completed the reading. The only way to avoid the exception is to allow multiple nested DataReaders = turn on MultipleActiveResultSets. Another scenario when this always happens is when you iterate through result of the query (IQueryable) and you will trigger lazy loading for loaded entity inside the iteration.

How to set up a Web API controller for multipart/form-data

I normally use the HttpPostedFileBase parameter only in Mvc Controllers. When dealing with ApiControllers try checking the HttpContext.Current.Request.Files property for incoming files instead:

[HttpPost]
public string UploadFile()
{
    var file = HttpContext.Current.Request.Files.Count > 0 ?
        HttpContext.Current.Request.Files[0] : null;

    if (file != null && file.ContentLength > 0)
    {
        var fileName = Path.GetFileName(file.FileName);

        var path = Path.Combine(
            HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/uploads"),
            fileName
        );

        file.SaveAs(path);
    }

    return file != null ? "/uploads/" + file.FileName : null;
}

Read binary file as string in Ruby

First, you should open the file as a binary file. Then you can read the entire file in, in one command.

file = File.open("path-to-file.tar.gz", "rb")
contents = file.read

That will get you the entire file in a string.

After that, you probably want to file.close. If you don’t do that, file won’t be closed until it is garbage-collected, so it would be a slight waste of system resources while it is open.

Create normal zip file programmatically

.NET has a built functionality for compressing files in the System.IO.Compression namespace. Using this you do not have to take an extra library as a dependency. This functionality is available from .NET 2.0.

Here is the way to do the compressing from the MSDN page I linked:

    public static void Compress(FileInfo fi)
    {
        // Get the stream of the source file.
        using (FileStream inFile = fi.OpenRead())
        {
            // Prevent compressing hidden and already compressed files.
            if ((File.GetAttributes(fi.FullName) & FileAttributes.Hidden)
                    != FileAttributes.Hidden & fi.Extension != ".gz")
            {
                // Create the compressed file.
                using (FileStream outFile = File.Create(fi.FullName + ".gz"))
                {
                    using (GZipStream Compress = new GZipStream(outFile,
                            CompressionMode.Compress))
                    {
                        // Copy the source file into the compression stream.
                        byte[] buffer = new byte[4096];
                        int numRead;
                        while ((numRead = inFile.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) != 0)
                        {
                            Compress.Write(buffer, 0, numRead);
                        }
                        Console.WriteLine("Compressed {0} from {1} to {2} bytes.",
                            fi.Name, fi.Length.ToString(), outFile.Length.ToString());
                    }
                }
            }
        }

Live video streaming using Java?

The best video playback/encoding library I have ever seen is ffmpeg. It plays everything you throw at it. (It is used by MPlayer.) It is written in C but I found some Java wrappers.

  • FFMPEG-Java: A Java wrapper around ffmpeg using JNA.
  • jffmpeg: This one integrates to JMF.

Xcode: Could not locate device support files

Here is the correct way of handling support errors from Xcode. All you have to do is add support to Xcode's DeviceSupport folder.

Open this link, extract the zip and copy the folder. https://github.com/mspvirajpatel/Xcode_Developer_Disk_Images/releases/tag/12.3.1

NOTE: A new version of iOS 13.0 beta recently released. If your Xcode throws iOS 13.0 support files needed, then click the link below:

https://github.com/amritsubedi/iOS-Developer-Disk-Image/blob/master/13.0.zip

Then, go to Applications -> Xcode. Right click and open Show Package Contents. Then, paste to Contents -> Developer -> Platforms -> iPhoneOS.platform -> DeviceSupport and restart Xcode.

Note: If you have a problem with any other version of iOS, then download the right iOS Developer Disk Image and paste it in the above-mentioned folder.

This will work. Press this to visually see the path.

Detecting an undefined object property

This is probably the only explicit form of determining if the existing property-name has an explicit and intended value of undefined; which is, nonetheless, a JavaScript type.

"propertyName" in containerObject && ""+containerObject["propertyName"] == "undefined";
>> true \ false

This expression will only return true if the property name of the given context exists (truly) and only if its intended value is explicitly undefined.

There will be no false positives like with empty or blank strings zeros nulls or empty arrays and alike. This does exactly that. Checks i.e., makes sure the property name exists (otherwise it would be a false positive), than it explicitly checks if its value is undefined e.g. of an undefined JavaScript type in it's string representation form (literally "undefined") therefore == instead of === because no further conversion is possible. And this expression will only return true if both, that is all conditions are met. E.g. if the property-name doesn't exist, - it will return false. Which is the only correct return since nonexistent properties can't have values, not even an undefined one.

Example:

containerObject = { propertyName: void "anything" }
>> Object { propertyName: undefined }

// Now the testing

"propertyName" in containerObject && ""+containerObject["propertyName"] == "undefined";
>> true

/* Which makes sure that nonexistent property will not return a false positive
 * unless it is previously defined  */

"foo" in containerObject && ""+containerObject["foo"] == "undefined";
>> false

if else statement in AngularJS templates

I agree that a ternary is extremely clean. Seems that it is very situational though as somethings I need to display div or p or table , so with a table I don't prefer a ternary for obvious reasons. Making a call to a function is typically ideal or in my case I did this:

<div ng-controller="TopNavCtrl">
        <div ng-if="info.host ==='servername'">
            <table class="table">
                <tr ng-repeat="(group, status) in user.groups">
                    <th style="width: 250px">{{ group }}</th>
                    <td><input type="checkbox" ng-model="user.groups[group]" /></td>
                </tr>
            </table>
        </div>
       <div ng-if="info.host ==='otherservername'">
            <table class="table">
                <tr ng-repeat="(group, status) in user.groups">
                    <th style="width: 250px">{{ group }}</th>
                    <td><input type="checkbox" ng-model="user.groups[group]" /></td>
                </tr>
            </table>
        </div>
</div>

How to navigate through a vector using iterators? (C++)

Vector's iterators are random access iterators which means they look and feel like plain pointers.

You can access the nth element by adding n to the iterator returned from the container's begin() method, or you can use operator [].

std::vector<int> vec(10);
std::vector<int>::iterator it = vec.begin();

int sixth = *(it + 5);
int third = *(2 + it);
int second = it[1];

Alternatively you can use the advance function which works with all kinds of iterators. (You'd have to consider whether you really want to perform "random access" with non-random-access iterators, since that might be an expensive thing to do.)

std::vector<int> vec(10);
std::vector<int>::iterator it = vec.begin();

std::advance(it, 5);
int sixth = *it;

Find object by its property in array of objects with AngularJS way

For complete M B answer, if you want to access to an specific attribute of this object already filtered from the array in your HTML, you will have to do it in this way:

{{ (myArray | filter : {'id':73})[0].name }}

So, in this case, it will print john in the HTML.

What does the 'export' command do?

In simple terms, environment variables are set when you open a new shell session. At any time if you change any of the variable values, the shell has no way of picking that change. that means the changes you made become effective in new shell sessions. The export command, on the other hand, provides the ability to update the current shell session about the change you made to the exported variable. You don't have to wait until new shell session to use the value of the variable you changed.

Accessing MVC's model property from Javascript

If "ReferenceError: Model is not defined" error is raised, then you might try to use the following method:

$(document).ready(function () {

    @{  var serializer = new System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer();
         var json = serializer.Serialize(Model);
    }

    var model = @Html.Raw(json);
    if(model != null && @Html.Raw(json) != "undefined")
    {
        var id= model.Id;
        var mainFloorPlanId = model.MainFloorPlanId ;
        var imageDirectory = model.ImageDirectory ;
        var iconsDirectory = model.IconsDirectory ;
    }
});

Hope this helps...

Secondary axis with twinx(): how to add to legend?

You can easily get what you want by adding the line in ax:

ax.plot([], [], '-r', label = 'temp')

or

ax.plot(np.nan, '-r', label = 'temp')

This would plot nothing but add a label to legend of ax.

I think this is a much easier way. It's not necessary to track lines automatically when you have only a few lines in the second axes, as fixing by hand like above would be quite easy. Anyway, it depends on what you need.

The whole code is as below:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib import rc
rc('mathtext', default='regular')

time = np.arange(22.)
temp = 20*np.random.rand(22)
Swdown = 10*np.random.randn(22)+40
Rn = 40*np.random.rand(22)

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

#---------- look at below -----------

ax.plot(time, Swdown, '-', label = 'Swdown')
ax.plot(time, Rn, '-', label = 'Rn')

ax2.plot(time, temp, '-r')  # The true line in ax2
ax.plot(np.nan, '-r', label = 'temp')  # Make an agent in ax

ax.legend(loc=0)

#---------------done-----------------

ax.grid()
ax.set_xlabel("Time (h)")
ax.set_ylabel(r"Radiation ($MJ\,m^{-2}\,d^{-1}$)")
ax2.set_ylabel(r"Temperature ($^\circ$C)")
ax2.set_ylim(0, 35)
ax.set_ylim(-20,100)
plt.show()

The plot is as below:

enter image description here


Update: add a better version:

ax.plot(np.nan, '-r', label = 'temp')

This will do nothing while plot(0, 0) may change the axis range.


One extra example for scatter

ax.scatter([], [], s=100, label = 'temp')  # Make an agent in ax
ax2.scatter(time, temp, s=10)  # The true scatter in ax2

ax.legend(loc=1, framealpha=1)

Set order of columns in pandas dataframe

You could also do something like df = df[['x', 'y', 'a', 'b']]

import pandas as pd
frame = pd.DataFrame({'one thing':[1,2,3,4],'second thing':[0.1,0.2,1,2],'other thing':['a','e','i','o']})
frame = frame[['second thing', 'other thing', 'one thing']]
print frame
   second thing other thing  one thing
0           0.1           a          1
1           0.2           e          2
2           1.0           i          3
3           2.0           o          4

Also, you can get the list of columns with:

cols = list(df.columns.values)

The output will produce something like this:

['x', 'y', 'a', 'b']

Which is then easy to rearrange manually.

<p style="margin-left:5em;">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut lacinia vestibulum quam sit amet aliquet. Phasellus tempor nisi eget tellus venenatis tempus. Aliquam dapibus porttitor convallis. Praesent pretium luctus orci, quis ullamcorper lacus lacinia a. Integer eget molestie purus. Vestibulum porta mollis tempus. Class aptent taciti sociosqu ad litora torquent per conubia nostra, per inceptos himenaeos. </p>

That'll do it, there's a few improvements obviously, but that's the basics. And I use 'em' as the measurement, you may want to use other units, like 'px'.

EDIT: What they're describing above is a way of associating groups of styles, or classes, with elements on a web page. You can implement that in a few ways, here's one which may suit you:

In your HTML page, containing the <p> tagged content from your DB add in a new 'style' node and wrap the styles you want to declare in a class like so:

<head>
  <style type="text/css">
    p { margin-left:5em; /* Or another measurement unit, like px */ }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut lacinia vestibulum quam sit amet aliquet.</p>
</body>

So above, all <p> elements in your document will have that style rule applied. Perhaps you are pumping your paragraph content into a container of some sort? Try this:

<head>
  <style type="text/css">
    .container p { margin-left:5em; /* Or another measurement unit, like px */ }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <div class="container">
    <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut lacinia vestibulum quam sit amet aliquet.</p>
  </div>
  <p>Vestibulum porta mollis tempus. Class aptent taciti sociosqu ad litora torquent per conubia nostra.</p>
</body>

In the example above, only the <p> element inside the div, whose class name is 'container', will have the styles applied - and not the <p> element outside the container.

In addition to the above, you can collect your styles together and remove the style element from the <head> tag, replacing it with a <link> tag, which points to an external CSS file. This external file is where you'd now put your <p> tag styles. This concept is known as 'seperating content from style' and is considered good practice, and is also an extendible way to create styles, and can help with low maintenance.

jQuery $.ajax request of dataType json will not retrieve data from PHP script

Try this...  
  <script type="text/javascript">

    $(document).ready(function(){

    $("#find").click(function(){
        var username  = $("#username").val();
            $.ajax({
            type: 'POST',
            dataType: 'json',
            url: 'includes/find.php',
            data: 'username='+username,
            success: function( data ) {
            //in data you result will be available...
            response = jQuery.parseJSON(data);
//further code..
            },

    error: function(xhr, status, error) {
        alert(status);
        },
    dataType: 'text'

    });
        });

    });



    </script>

    <form name="Find User" id="userform" class="invoform" method="post" />

    <div id ="userdiv">
      <p>Name (Lastname, firstname):</p>
      </label>
      <input type="text" name="username" id="username" class="inputfield" />
      <input type="button" name="find" id="find" class="passwordsubmit" value="find" />
    </div>
    </form>
    <div id="userinfo"><b>info will be listed here.</b></div>

Getting only Month and Year from SQL DATE

As well as the suggestions given already, there is one other possiblity I can infer from your question:
- You still want the result to be a date
- But you want to 'discard' the Days, Hours, etc
- Leaving a year/month only date field

SELECT
   DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, 0, <dateField>), 0) AS [year_month_date_field]
FROM
   <your_table>

This gets the number of whole months from a base date (0) and then adds them to that base date. Thus rounding Down to the month in which the date is in.

NOTE: In SQL Server 2008, You will still have the TIME attached as 00:00:00.000 This is not exactly the same as "removing" any notation of day and time altogether. Also the DAY set to the first. e.g. 2009-10-01 00:00:00.000

2 ways for "ClearContents" on VBA Excel, but 1 work fine. Why?

It is because you haven't qualified Cells(1, 1) with a worksheet object, and the same holds true for Cells(10, 2). For the code to work, it should look something like this:

Dim ws As Worksheet

Set ws = Sheets("SheetName")
Range(ws.Cells(1, 1), ws.Cells(10, 2)).ClearContents

Alternately:

With Sheets("SheetName")
    Range(.Cells(1, 1), .Cells(10, 2)).ClearContents
End With

EDIT: The Range object will inherit the worksheet from the Cells objects when the code is run from a standard module or userform. If you are running the code from a worksheet code module, you will need to qualify Range also, like so:

ws.Range(ws.Cells(1, 1), ws.Cells(10, 2)).ClearContents

or

With Sheets("SheetName")
    .Range(.Cells(1, 1), .Cells(10, 2)).ClearContents
End With

How to present a modal atop the current view in Swift

You can try this code for Swift

 let popup : PopupVC = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("PopupVC") as! PopupVC
 let navigationController = UINavigationController(rootViewController: popup)
 navigationController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationStyle.OverCurrentContext
 self.presentViewController(navigationController, animated: true, completion: nil)

For swift 4 latest syntax using extension

extension UIViewController {
    func presentOnRoot(`with` viewController : UIViewController){
        let navigationController = UINavigationController(rootViewController: viewController)
        navigationController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationStyle.overCurrentContext
        self.present(navigationController, animated: false, completion: nil)
    }
}

How to use

let popup : PopupVC = self.storyboard?.instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier("PopupVC") as! PopupVC
self.presentOnRoot(with: popup)

What's the longest possible worldwide phone number I should consider in SQL varchar(length) for phone

In the GSM specification 3GPP TS 11.11, there are 10 bytes set aside in the MSISDN EF (6F40) for 'dialing number'. Since this is the GSM representation of a phone number, and it's usage is nibble swapped, (and there is always the possibility of parentheses) 22 characters of data should be plenty.

In my experience, there is only one instance of open/close parentheses, that is my reasoning for the above.

$(document).ready equivalent without jQuery

Three options:

  1. If script is the last tag of the body, the DOM would be ready before script tag executes
  2. When the DOM is ready, "readyState" will change to "complete"
  3. Put everything under 'DOMContentLoaded' event listener

onreadystatechange

  document.onreadystatechange = function () {
     if (document.readyState == "complete") {
     // document is ready. Do your stuff here
   }
 }

Source: MDN

DOMContentLoaded

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
   console.log('document is ready. I can sleep now');
});

Concerned about stone age browsers: Go to the jQuery source code and use the ready function. In that case you are not parsing+executing the whole library you're are doing only a very small part of it.

Angularjs: input[text] ngChange fires while the value is changing

I had exactly the same problem and this worked for me. Add ng-model-update and ng-keyup and you're good to go! Here is the docs

How to remove leading and trailing zeros in a string? Python

Did you try with strip() :

listOfNum = ['231512-n','1209123100000-n00000','alphanumeric0000', 'alphanumeric']
print [item.strip('0') for item in listOfNum]

>>> ['231512-n', '1209123100000-n', 'alphanumeric', 'alphanumeric']

Java: How to stop thread?

One possible way is to do something like this:

public class MyThread extends Thread {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        while (!this.isInterrupted()) {
            //
        }
    }
}

And when you want to stop your thread, just call a method interrupt():

myThread.interrupt();

Of course, this won't stop thread immediately, but in the following iteration of the loop above. In the case of downloading, you need to write a non-blocking code. It means, that you will attempt to read new data from the socket only for a limited amount of time. If there are no data available, it will just continue. It may be done using this method from the class Socket:

mySocket.setSoTimeout(50);

In this case, timeout is set up to 50 ms. After this time has gone and no data was read, it throws an SocketTimeoutException. This way, you may write iterative and non-blocking thread, which may be killed using the construction above.

It's not possible to kill thread in any other way and you've to implement such a behavior yourself. In past, Thread had some method (not sure if kill() or stop()) for this, but it's deprecated now. My experience is, that some implementations of JVM doesn't even contain that method currently.

Getting an "ambiguous redirect" error

Bash can be pretty obtuse sometimes.

The following commands all return different error messages for basically the same error:

$ echo hello >
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline`

$ echo hello > ${NONEXISTENT}
bash: ${NONEXISTENT}: ambiguous redirect

$ echo hello > "${NONEXISTENT}"
bash: : No such file or directory

Adding quotes around the variable seems to be a good way to deal with the "ambiguous redirect" message: You tend to get a better message when you've made a typing mistake -- and when the error is due to spaces in the filename, using quotes is the fix.

How to convert string to IP address and vice versa

here's easy-to-use, thread-safe c++ functions to convert uint32_t native-endian to string, and string to native-endian uint32_t:

#include <arpa/inet.h> // inet_ntop & inet_pton
#include <string.h> // strerror_r
#include <arpa/inet.h> // ntohl & htonl
using namespace std; // im lazy

string ipv4_int_to_string(uint32_t in, bool *const success = nullptr)
{
    string ret(INET_ADDRSTRLEN, '\0');
    in = htonl(in);
    const bool _success = (NULL != inet_ntop(AF_INET, &in, &ret[0], ret.size()));
    if (success)
    {
        *success = _success;
    }
    if (_success)
    {
        ret.pop_back(); // remove null-terminator required by inet_ntop
    }
    else if (!success)
    {
        char buf[200] = {0};
        strerror_r(errno, buf, sizeof(buf));
        throw std::runtime_error(string("error converting ipv4 int to string ") + to_string(errno) + string(": ") + string(buf));
    }
    return ret;
}
// return is native-endian
// when an error occurs: if success ptr is given, it's set to false, otherwise a std::runtime_error is thrown.
uint32_t ipv4_string_to_int(const string &in, bool *const success = nullptr)
{
    uint32_t ret;
    const bool _success = (1 == inet_pton(AF_INET, in.c_str(), &ret));
    ret = ntohl(ret);
    if (success)
    {
        *success = _success;
    }
    else if (!_success)
    {
        char buf[200] = {0};
        strerror_r(errno, buf, sizeof(buf));
        throw std::runtime_error(string("error converting ipv4 string to int ") + to_string(errno) + string(": ") + string(buf));
    }
    return ret;
}

fair warning, as of writing, they're un-tested. but these functions are exactly what i was looking for when i came to this thread.

Adding CSRFToken to Ajax request

Here is code that I used to prevent CSRF token problem when sending POST request with ajax

$(document).ready(function(){
    function getCookie(c_name) {
        if(document.cookie.length > 0) {
            c_start = document.cookie.indexOf(c_name + "=");
            if(c_start != -1) {
                c_start = c_start + c_name.length + 1;
                c_end = document.cookie.indexOf(";", c_start);
                if(c_end == -1) c_end = document.cookie.length;
                return unescape(document.cookie.substring(c_start,c_end));
            }
        }
        return "";
    }

    $(function () {
        $.ajaxSetup({
            headers: {
                "X-CSRFToken": getCookie("csrftoken")
            }

Create a OpenSSL certificate on Windows

If you're on windows and using apache, maybe via WAMP or the Drupal stack installer, you can additionally download the git for windows package, which includes many useful linux command line tools, one of which is openssl.

The following command creates the self signed certificate and key needed for apache and works fine in windows:

openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout privatekey.key -out certificate.crt

"No such file or directory" error when executing a binary

Well another possible cause of this can be simple line break at end of each line and shebang line If you have been coding in windows IDE its possible that windows has added its own line break at the end of each line and when you try to run it on linux the line break cause problems

What are the differences between Mustache.js and Handlebars.js?

One more subtle difference is the treatment of falsy values in {{#property}}...{{/property}} blocks. Most mustache implementations will just obey JS falsiness here, not rendering the block if property is '' or '0'.

Handlebars will render the block for '' and 0, but not other falsy values. This can cause some trouble when migrating templates.

Validate fields after user has left a field

outI used a directive. Here is the code:

app.directive('onBlurVal', function () {
    return {
        restrict: 'A',
        link: function (scope, element, attrs, controller) {

            element.on('focus', function () {
                element.next().removeClass('has-visited');
                element.next().addClass('has-focus');
            });

            element.on('blur', function () {

                element.next().removeClass('has-focus');
                element.next().addClass('has-visited');
            });
        }
    }
})

All my input control has a span element as the next element, which is where my validation message is displayed and so the directive as an attribute is added to each input control.

I also have (optional).has-focus and has-visited css class in my css file which you see being referenced in the directive.

NOTE: remember to add 'on-blur-val' exactly this way to your input control without the apostrophes

trace a particular IP and port

You can use the default traceroute command for this purpose, then there will be nothing to install.

traceroute -T -p 9100 <IP address/hostname>

The -T argument is required so that the TCP protocol is used instead of UDP.

In the rare case when traceroute isn't available, you can also use ncat.

nc -Czvw 5 <IP address/hostname> 9100

Switch statement for string matching in JavaScript

var token = 'spo';

switch(token){
    case ( (token.match(/spo/) )? token : undefined ) :
       console.log('MATCHED')    
    break;;
    default:
       console.log('NO MATCH')
    break;;
}


--> If the match is made the ternary expression returns the original token
----> The original token is evaluated by case

--> If the match is not made the ternary returns undefined
----> Case evaluates the token against undefined which hopefully your token is not.

The ternary test can be anything for instance in your case

( !!~ base_url_string.indexOf('xxx.dev.yyy.com') )? xxx.dev.yyy.com : undefined 

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

(token.match(/spo/) )? token : undefined ) 

is a ternary expression.

The test in this case is token.match(/spo/) which states the match the string held in token against the regex expression /spo/ ( which is the literal string spo in this case ).

If the expression and the string match it results in true and returns token ( which is the string the switch statement is operating on ).

Obviously token === token so the switch statement is matched and the case evaluated

It is easier to understand if you look at it in layers and understand that the turnery test is evaluated "BEFORE" the switch statement so that the switch statement only sees the results of the test.

Purpose of ESI & EDI registers?

In addition to the string operations (MOVS/INS/STOS/CMPS/SCASB/W/D/Q etc.) mentioned in the other answers, I wanted to add that there are also more "modern" x86 assembly instructions that implicitly use at least EDI/RDI:

The SSE2 MASKMOVDQU (and the upcoming AVX VMASKMOVDQU) instruction selectively write bytes from an XMM register to memory pointed to by EDI/RDI.

Difference between xcopy and robocopy

The most important difference is that robocopy will (usually) retry when an error occurs, while xcopy will not. In most cases, that makes robocopy far more suitable for use in a script.

Addendum: for completeness, there is one known edge case issue with robocopy; it may silently fail to copy files or directories whose names contain invalid UTF-16 sequences. If that's a problem for you, you may need to look at third-party tools, or write your own.

Optimal number of threads per core

One example of lots of threads ("thread pool") vs one per core is that of implementing a web-server in Linux or in Windows.

Since sockets are polled in Linux a lot of threads may increase the likelihood of one of them polling the right socket at the right time - but the overall processing cost will be very high.

In Windows the server will be implemented using I/O Completion Ports - IOCPs - which will make the application event driven: if an I/O completes the OS launches a stand-by thread to process it. When the processing has completed (usually with another I/O operation as in a request-response pair) the thread returns to the IOCP port (queue) to wait for the next completion.

If no I/O has completed there is no processing to be done and no thread is launched.

Indeed, Microsoft recommends no more than one thread per core in IOCP implementations. Any I/O may be attached to the IOCP mechanism. IOCs may also be posted by the application, if necessary.

Rails where condition using NOT NIL

For Rails4:

So, what you're wanting is an inner join, so you really should just use the joins predicate:

  Foo.joins(:bar)

  Select * from Foo Inner Join Bars ...

But, for the record, if you want a "NOT NULL" condition simply use the not predicate:

Foo.includes(:bar).where.not(bars: {id: nil})

Select * from Foo Left Outer Join Bars on .. WHERE bars.id IS NOT NULL

Note that this syntax reports a deprecation (it talks about a string SQL snippet, but I guess the hash condition is changed to string in the parser?), so be sure to add the references to the end:

Foo.includes(:bar).where.not(bars: {id: nil}).references(:bar)

DEPRECATION WARNING: It looks like you are eager loading table(s) (one of: ....) that are referenced in a string SQL snippet. For example:

Post.includes(:comments).where("comments.title = 'foo'")

Currently, Active Record recognizes the table in the string, and knows to JOIN the comments table to the query, rather than loading comments in a separate query. However, doing this without writing a full-blown SQL parser is inherently flawed. Since we don't want to write an SQL parser, we are removing this functionality. From now on, you must explicitly tell Active Record when you are referencing a table from a string:

Post.includes(:comments).where("comments.title = 'foo'").references(:comments)

What's the difference between jquery.js and jquery.min.js?

Jquery.min.js is nothing else but compressed version of jquery.js. You can use it the same way as jquery.js, but it's smaller, so in production you should use minified version and when you're debugging you can use normal jquery.js version. If you want to compress your own javascript file you can these compressors:

Or just read topis on StackOverflow about js compression :) :

jQuery Ajax POST example with PHP

Changing file permission in Python

os.chmod(path, stat.S_IRUSR | stat.S_IRGRP | stat.S_IROTH)

stat

The following flags can also be used in the mode argument of os.chmod():

stat.S_ISUID Set UID bit.

stat.S_ISGID Set-group-ID bit. This bit has several special uses. For a directory it indicates that BSD semantics is to be used for that directory: files created there inherit their group ID from the directory, not from the effective group ID of the creating process, and directories created there will also get the S_ISGID bit set. For a file that does not have the group execution bit (S_IXGRP) set, the set-group-ID bit indicates mandatory file/record locking (see also S_ENFMT).

stat.S_ISVTX Sticky bit. When this bit is set on a directory it means that a file in that directory can be renamed or deleted only by the owner of the file, by the owner of the directory, or by a privileged process.

stat.S_IRWXU Mask for file owner permissions.

stat.S_IRUSR Owner has read permission.

stat.S_IWUSR Owner has write permission.

stat.S_IXUSR Owner has execute permission.

stat.S_IRWXG Mask for group permissions.

stat.S_IRGRP Group has read permission.

stat.S_IWGRP Group has write permission.

stat.S_IXGRP Group has execute permission.

stat.S_IRWXO Mask for permissions for others (not in group).

stat.S_IROTH Others have read permission.

stat.S_IWOTH Others have write permission.

stat.S_IXOTH Others have execute permission.

stat.S_ENFMT System V file locking enforcement. This flag is shared with S_ISGID: file/record locking is enforced on files that do not have the group execution bit (S_IXGRP) set.

stat.S_IREAD Unix V7 synonym for S_IRUSR.

stat.S_IWRITE Unix V7 synonym for S_IWUSR.

stat.S_IEXEC Unix V7 synonym for S_IXUSR.

How to retrieve value from elements in array using jQuery?

Your syntax is incorrect.

card_value = $(array[i]).val(); or card_value = array[i].value;

array[i] is not a jQuery object (for some reason).

Checking your browser's console can be helpful for things like this.

Skip rows during csv import pandas

skip[1] will skip second line, not the first one.

typeof !== "undefined" vs. != null

If the variable is declared (either with the var keyword, as a function argument, or as a global variable), I think the best way to do it is:

if (my_variable === undefined)

jQuery does it, so it's good enough for me :-)

Otherwise, you'll have to use typeof to avoid a ReferenceError.

If you expect undefined to be redefined, you could wrap your code like this:

(function(undefined){
    // undefined is now what it's supposed to be
})();

Or obtain it via the void operator:

const undefined = void 0;
// also safe

Making custom right-click context menus for my web-app

You can watch this tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDyEfKWCzhg Make sure the context menu is hidden at first and has a position of absolute. This will ensure that there won't be multiple context menu and useless creation of context menu. The link to the page is placed in the description of the YouTube video.

$(document).bind("contextmenu", function(event){
$("#contextmenu").css({"top": event.pageY +  "px", "left": event.pageX +  "px"}).show();
});
$(document).bind("click", function(){
$("#contextmenu").hide();
});

Converting HTML to PDF using PHP?

If you wish to create a pdf from php, pdflib will help you (as some others suggested).

Else, if you want to convert an HTML page to PDF via PHP, you'll find a little trouble outta here.. For 3 years I've been trying to do it as best as I can.

So, the options I know are:

DOMPDF : php class that wraps the html and builds the pdf. Works good, customizable (if you know php), based on pdflib, if I remember right it takes even some CSS. Bad news: slow when the html is big or complex.

HTML2PS: same as DOMPDF, but this one converts first to a .ps (ghostscript) file, then, to whatever format you need (pdf, jpg, png). For me is little better than dompdf, but has the same speed problem.. but, better compatibility with CSS.

Those two are php classes, but if you can install some software on the server, and access it throught passthru() or system(), give a look to these too:

wkhtmltopdf: based on webkit (safari's wrapper), is really fast and powerful.. seems like this is the best one (atm) for converting html pages to pdf on the fly; taking only 2 seconds for a 3 page xHTML document with CSS2. It is a recent project, anyway, the google.code page is often updated.

htmldoc : This one is a tank, it never really stops/crashes.. the project looks dead since 2007, but anyway if you don't need CSS compatibility this can be nice for you.

What's the fastest way to delete a large folder in Windows?

and to delete a lot of folders, you could also create a batch file with the command spdenne posted.

1) make a text file that has the following contents replacing the folder names in quotes with your folder names:

rmdir /s /q "My Apps"  
rmdir /s /q "My Documents"  
rmdir /s /q "My Pictures"  
rmdir /s /q "My Work Files"

2) save the batch file with a .bat extension (for example deletefiles.bat)
3) open a command prompt (Start > Run > Cmd) and execute the batch file. you can do this like so from the command prompt (substituting X for your drive letter):

X:  
deletefiles.bat

Getting rid of \n when using .readlines()

for each string in your list, use .strip() which removes whitespace from the beginning or end of the string:

for i in contents:
    alist.append(i.strip())

But depending on your use case, you might be better off using something like numpy.loadtxt or even numpy.genfromtxt if you need a nice array of the data you're reading from the file.

How to safely upgrade an Amazon EC2 instance from t1.micro to large?

From my experience, the way I do it is create a snapshot of your current image, then once its done you'll see it as an option when launching new instances. Simply launch it as a large instance at that point.

This is my approach if I do not want any downtime(i.e. production server) because this solution only takes a server offline only after the new one is up and running(I also use it to add new machines to my clusters by using this approach to only add new machines). If Downtime is acceptable then see Marcel Castilho's answer.

How to get the mobile number of current sim card in real device?

Sometimes you can retreive the phonenumber with a USSD request to your operator. For example I can get my phonenumber by dialing *116# This can probably be done within an app, I guess, if the USSD responce somehow could be catched. Offcourse this is not a method I would recommend to use within an app that is to be distributed, the code may even differ between operators.

What is the best way to connect and use a sqlite database from C#

ADO.NET 2.0 Provider for SQLite has over 200 downloads every day, so I think you are safe using that one.

Download a file from NodeJS Server using Express

Use res.download()

It transfers the file at path as an “attachment”. For instance:

var express = require('express');
var router = express.Router();

// ...

router.get('/:id/download', function (req, res, next) {
    var filePath = "/my/file/path/..."; // Or format the path using the `id` rest param
    var fileName = "report.pdf"; // The default name the browser will use

    res.download(filePath, fileName);    
});

How to loop through a dataset in powershell?

The PowerShell string evaluation is calling ToString() on the DataSet. In order to evaluate any properties (or method calls), you have to force evaluation by enclosing the expression in $()

for($i=0;$i -lt $ds.Tables[1].Rows.Count;$i++)
{ 
  write-host "value is : $i $($ds.Tables[1].Rows[$i][0])"
}

Additionally foreach allows you to iterate through a collection or array without needing to figure out the length.

Rewritten (and edited for compile) -

foreach ($Row in $ds.Tables[1].Rows)
{ 
  write-host "value is : $($Row[0])"
}

What's the difference between a proxy server and a reverse proxy server?

Difference between Proxy server (also called forward proxy) and Reverse Proxy Server depends on the point of reference.

Technically, both are exactly the same. Both serve the same purpose of transmitting data to a destination on behalf of a source.

The difference lies in 'on whose behalf is the proxy server acting / who is the proxy server representing?'

If the proxy server is forwarding requests to internet server on behalf of the end users (Example: students in a college accessing internet through college proxy server.), then the proxy is called 'Forward proxy' or simply 'Proxy'.

If the proxy server is responding to incoming requests, on behalf of a server, then the proxy is called 'Reverse Proxy', as it is working in the reverse direction, from the point of view of the end user.

Some Examples of Reverse proxies:

  1. Load balancer in front of web servers acts as a reverse-proxy on behalf of the actual web servers.
  2. API gateway
  3. Free Website hosting services like (facebook pages / blog page servers) are also reverse proxies. The actual content may be in some web server, but the outside world knows it through specific url advertised by reverse-proxy.

Use of forward proxy:

  1. Monitor all outbound internet connections from an organization
  2. Apply security policies on internet browsing and block malicious content from being downloaded
  3. Block access to specific websites

Use of Reverse proxy:

  1. Present friendly URL for a website
  2. Perform load balancing across multiple web servers
  3. Apply security policy and protect actual web servers from attacks

Want to download a Git repository, what do I need (windows machine)?

To change working directory in GitMSYS's Git Bash you can just use cd

cd /path/do/directory

Note that:

  • Directory separators use the forward-slash (/) instead of backslash.
  • Drives are specified with a lower case letter and no colon, e.g. "C:\stuff" should be represented with "/c/stuff".
  • Spaces can be escaped with a backslash (\)
  • Command line completion is your friend. Press TAB at anytime to expand stuff, including Git options, branches, tags, and directories.

Also, you can right click in Windows Explorer on a directory and "Git Bash here".

Addition for BigDecimal

Just another example to add BigDecimals. Key point is that they are immutable and they can be initialized only in the constructor. Here is the code:

import java.util.*;
import java.math.*;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner sc;
        boolean first_right_number = false;
        BigDecimal initBigDecimal = BigDecimal.ZERO;
        BigDecimal add1 = BigDecimal.ZERO;
        BigDecimal add2 = BigDecimal.ZERO;

        while (!first_right_number)
        {
            System.out.print("Enter a first single numeric value: ");
            sc = new Scanner(System.in);
            if (sc.hasNextBigDecimal()) 
            {
                first_right_number = true;
                add1 = sc.nextBigDecimal();
            }
        }

        boolean second_right_number = false;
        while (!second_right_number)
        {
            System.out.print("Enter a second single numeric value: ");
            sc = new Scanner(System.in);
            if (sc.hasNextBigDecimal()) 
            {
                second_right_number = true;
                add2 = sc.nextBigDecimal();
            }
        }
        BigDecimal result = initBigDecimal.add(add1).add(add2);
        System.out.println("Sum of the 2 numbers is: " + result.toString());
    }
}

What is com.sun.proxy.$Proxy

What are they?

Nothing special. Just as same as common Java Class Instance.

But those class are Synthetic proxy classes created by java.lang.reflect.Proxy#newProxyInstance

What is there relationship to the JVM? Are they JVM implementation specific?

Introduced in 1.3

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.3/docs/relnotes/features.html#reflection

It is a part of Java. so each JVM should support it.

How are they created (Openjdk7 source)?

In short : they are created using JVM ASM tech ( defining javabyte code at runtime )

something using same tech:

What happens after calling java.lang.reflect.Proxy#newProxyInstance

  1. reading the source you can see newProxyInstance call getProxyClass0 to obtain a `Class

    `

  2. after lots of cache or sth it calls the magic ProxyGenerator.generateProxyClass which return a byte[]
  3. call ClassLoader define class to load the generated $Proxy Class (the classname you have seen)
  4. just instance it and ready for use

What happens in magic sun.misc.ProxyGenerator

  1. draw a class(bytecode) combining all methods in the interfaces into one
  2. each method is build with same bytecode like

    1. get calling Method meth info (stored while generating)
    2. pass info into invocation handler's invoke()
    3. get return value from invocation handler's invoke()
    4. just return it
  3. the class(bytecode) represent in form of byte[]

How to draw a class

Thinking your java codes are compiled into bytecodes, just do this at runtime

Talk is cheap show you the code

Change button text from Xcode?

If you've got a button that's hooked up to an action in your code, you can change the title without an instance variable.

For example, if the button is set to this action:

-(IBAction)startSomething:(id)sender;

You can simply do this in the method:

-(IBAction)startSomething:(id)sender {
    [sender setTitle:@"Hello" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
}

Or if you're wanting to toggle the name of the button, you can create a BOOL named "buttonToggled" (for example), and toggle the name this way:

-(IBAction)toggleButton:(id)sender {
    if (!buttonToggled) {
        [sender setTitle:@"Something" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
        buttonToggled = YES;
    }
    else {
        [sender setTitle:@"Different" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
        buttonToggled = NO;
    }
}

I want to get the type of a variable at runtime

If by the type of a variable you mean the runtime class of the object that the variable points to, then you can get this through the class reference that all objects have.

val name = "sam";
name: java.lang.String = sam
name.getClass
res0: java.lang.Class[_] = class java.lang.String

If you however mean the type that the variable was declared as, then you cannot get that. Eg, if you say

val name: Object = "sam"

then you will still get a String back from the above code.

How to use jQuery to show/hide divs based on radio button selection?

$(document).ready(function(){

It's correct input[name=group1] in this example. However, thanks for the code!

What is the most efficient way to create a dictionary of two pandas Dataframe columns?

In Python 3.6 the fastest way is still the WouterOvermeire one. Kikohs' proposal is slower than the other two options.

import timeit

setup = '''
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randint(32, 120, 100000).reshape(50000,2),columns=list('AB'))
df['A'] = df['A'].apply(chr)
'''

timeit.Timer('dict(zip(df.A,df.B))', setup=setup).repeat(7,500)
timeit.Timer('pd.Series(df.A.values,index=df.B).to_dict()', setup=setup).repeat(7,500)
timeit.Timer('df.set_index("A").to_dict()["B"]', setup=setup).repeat(7,500)

Results:

1.1214002349999777 s  # WouterOvermeire
1.1922008498571748 s  # Jeff
1.7034366211428602 s  # Kikohs

Can I add extension methods to an existing static class?

Maybe you could add a static class with your custom namespace and the same class name:

using CLRConsole = System.Console;

namespace ExtensionMethodsDemo
{
    public static class Console
    {
        public static void WriteLine(string value)
        {
            CLRConsole.WriteLine(value);
        }

        public static void WriteBlueLine(string value)
        {
            System.ConsoleColor currentColor = CLRConsole.ForegroundColor;

            CLRConsole.ForegroundColor = System.ConsoleColor.Blue;
            CLRConsole.WriteLine(value);

            CLRConsole.ForegroundColor = currentColor;
        }

        public static System.ConsoleKeyInfo ReadKey(bool intercept)
        {
            return CLRConsole.ReadKey(intercept);
        }
    }
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            try
            {
                Console.WriteBlueLine("This text is blue");   
            }
            catch (System.Exception ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
                Console.WriteLine(ex.StackTrace);
            }

            Console.WriteLine("Press any key to continue...");
            Console.ReadKey(true);
        }
    }
}

MySQL delete multiple rows in one query conditions unique to each row

Took a lot of googling but here is what I do in Python for MySql when I want to delete multiple items from a single table using a list of values.

#create some empty list
values = []
#continue to append the values you want to delete to it
#BUT you must ensure instead of a string it's a single value tuple
values.append(([Your Variable],))
#Then once your array is loaded perform an execute many
cursor.executemany("DELETE FROM YourTable WHERE ID = %s", values)

Can I set max_retries for requests.request?

A cleaner way to gain higher control might be to package the retry stuff into a function and make that function retriable using a decorator and whitelist the exceptions.

Reproducing the code in that link :

:param delay: Amount of delay (seconds) needed between successive retries.
:param times: no of times the function should be retried

How to merge multiple dicts with same key or different key?

From blubb answer:

You can also directly form the tuple using values from each list

ds = [d1, d2]
d = {}
for k in d1.keys():
  d[k] = (d1[k], d2[k])

This might be useful if you had a specific ordering for your tuples

ds = [d1, d2, d3, d4]
d = {}
for k in d1.keys():
  d[k] = (d3[k], d1[k], d4[k], d2[k]) #if you wanted tuple in order of d3, d1, d4, d2

Can I force a UITableView to hide the separator between empty cells?

The following worked very well for me for this problem:

- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForFooterInSection:(NSInteger)section {

CGRect frame = [self.view frame];
frame.size.height =  frame.size.height - (kTableRowHeight * numberOfRowsInTable);

UIView *footerView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:frame];
return footerView; }

Where kTableRowHeight is the height of my row cells and numberOfRowsInTable is the number of rows I had in the table.

Hope that helps,

Brenton.

Create a user with all privileges in Oracle

My issue was, i am unable to create a view with my "scott" user in oracle 11g edition. So here is my solution for this

Error in my case

SQL>create view v1 as select * from books where id=10;

insufficient privileges.

Solution

1)open your cmd and change your directory to where you install your oracle database. in my case i was downloaded in E drive so my location is E:\app\B_Amar\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\BIN> after reaching in the position you have to type sqlplus sys as sysdba

E:\app\B_Amar\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\BIN>sqlplus sys as sysdba

2) Enter password: here you have to type that password that you give at the time of installation of oracle software.

3) Here in this step if you want create a new user then you can create otherwise give all the privileges to existing user.

for creating new user

SQL> create user abc identified by xyz;

here abc is user and xyz is password.

giving all the privileges to abc user

SQL> grant all privileges to abc;

 grant succeeded. 

if you are seen this message then all the privileges are giving to the abc user.

4) Now exit from cmd, go to your SQL PLUS and connect to the user i.e enter your username & password.Now you can happily create view.

In My case

in cmd E:\app\B_Amar\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\BIN>sqlplus sys as sysdba

SQL> grant all privileges to SCOTT;

grant succeeded.

Now I can create views.

converting epoch time with milliseconds to datetime

Use datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp:

>>> import datetime
>>> s = 1236472051807 / 1000.0
>>> datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(s).strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f')
'2009-03-08 09:27:31.807000'

%f directive is only supported by datetime.datetime.strftime, not by time.strftime.

UPDATE Alternative using %, str.format:

>>> import time
>>> s, ms = divmod(1236472051807, 1000)  # (1236472051, 807)
>>> '%s.%03d' % (time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S', time.gmtime(s)), ms)
'2009-03-08 00:27:31.807'
>>> '{}.{:03d}'.format(time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S', time.gmtime(s)), ms)
'2009-03-08 00:27:31.807'

Loading a .json file into c# program

You really should use an established library, such as Newtonsoft.Json (which even Microsoft uses for frameworks such as MVC and WebAPI), or .NET's built-in JavascriptSerializer.

Here's a sample of reading JSON using Newtonsoft.Json:

JObject o1 = JObject.Parse(File.ReadAllText(@"c:\videogames.json"));

// read JSON directly from a file
using (StreamReader file = File.OpenText(@"c:\videogames.json"))
using (JsonTextReader reader = new JsonTextReader(file))
{
  JObject o2 = (JObject) JToken.ReadFrom(reader);
}

boto3 client NoRegionError: You must specify a region error only sometimes

One way or another you must tell boto3 in which region you wish the kms client to be created. This could be done explicitly using the region_name parameter as in:

kms = boto3.client('kms', region_name='us-west-2')

or you can have a default region associated with your profile in your ~/.aws/config file as in:

[default]
region=us-west-2

or you can use an environment variable as in:

export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=us-west-2

but you do need to tell boto3 which region to use.

Android Get Current timestamp?

From developers blog:

System.currentTimeMillis() is the standard "wall" clock (time and date) expressing milliseconds since the epoch. The wall clock can be set by the user or the phone network (see setCurrentTimeMillis(long)), so the time may jump backwards or forwards unpredictably. This clock should only be used when correspondence with real-world dates and times is important, such as in a calendar or alarm clock application. Interval or elapsed time measurements should use a different clock. If you are using System.currentTimeMillis(), consider listening to the ACTION_TIME_TICK, ACTION_TIME_CHANGED and ACTION_TIMEZONE_CHANGED Intent broadcasts to find out when the time changes.

jQuery UI Color Picker

Make sure you have jQuery UI base and the color picker widget included on your page (as well as a copy of jQuery 1.3):

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://dev.jquery.com/view/tags/ui/latest/themes/flora/flora.all.css" type="text/css" media="screen" title="Flora (Default)">

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://dev.jquery.com/view/tags/ui/latest/ui/ui.core.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://dev.jquery.com/view/tags/ui/latest/ui/ui.colorpicker.js"></script>

If you have those included, try posting your source so we can see what's going on.

Java 6 Unsupported major.minor version 51.0

That version number (51.0) indicates that you are trying to run classes compiled for Java 7. You will need to recompile them for Java 6.

Note, however, that some features may no longer be compatible with Java 6, which is very old, and no longer (publicly) supported by Oracle.

What does "javascript:void(0)" mean?

It is a very popular method of adding JavaScript functions to HTML links.
For example: the [Print] links that you see on many webpages are written like this:

<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="callPrintFunction()">Print</a>

Why do we need href while onclick alone can get the job done? Because when users hover over the text 'Print' when there's no href, the cursor will change to a caret (ꕯ) instead of a pointer (👆). Only having href on an a tag validates it as a hyperlink.

An alternative to href="javascript:void(0);", is the use of href="#". This alternative doesn't require JavaScript to be turned on in the user's browser, so it is more compatible.

Set the layout weight of a TextView programmatically

In the earlier answers weight is passed to the constructor of a new SomeLayoutType.LayoutParams object. Still in many cases it's more convenient to use existing objects - it helps to avoid dealing with parameters we are not interested in.

An example:

// Get our View (TextView or anything) object:
View v = findViewById(R.id.our_view); 

// Get params:
LinearLayout.LayoutParams loparams = (LinearLayout.LayoutParams) v.getLayoutParams();

// Set only target params:
loparams.height = 0;
loparams.weight = 1;
v.setLayoutParams(loparams);

  1. Fisrt, we make selection using the subset function. Other possibilities can be used, like, subset(dataframe, var4 =="some" & var5 > 10). The "&" operator can be used to select all "some" and over 10. Also the operator "|" could be used to select "some" or "over 10".
  2. The next step is to plot the results of the subset, using tilde (~) operator, that just imply a formula, in this case var.response ~ var.independet. Of course this is not a formula, but works great for this case.

How to Query an NTP Server using C#?

The .NET Micro Framework Toolkit found in the CodePlex has an NTPClient. I have never used it myself but it looks good.

There is also another example located here.

Naming Classes - How to avoid calling everything a "<WhatEver>Manager"?

Specific to C#, I found "Framework Design Guidelines: Conventions, Idioms, and Patterns for Reusable .NET Libraries" to have lots of good information on the logic of naming.

As far as finding those more specific words though, I often use a thesaurus and jump through related words to try and find a good one. I try not to spend to much time with it though, as I progress through development I come up with better names, or sometimes realize that SuchAndSuchManager should really be broken up into multiple classes, and then the name of that deprecated class becomes a non-issue.

adding noise to a signal in python

For those who want to add noise to a multi-dimensional dataset loaded within a pandas dataframe or even a numpy ndarray, here's an example:

import pandas as pd
# create a sample dataset with dimension (2,2)
# in your case you need to replace this with 
# clean_signal = pd.read_csv("your_data.csv")   
clean_signal = pd.DataFrame([[1,2],[3,4]], columns=list('AB'), dtype=float) 
print(clean_signal)
"""
print output: 
    A    B
0  1.0  2.0
1  3.0  4.0
"""
import numpy as np 
mu, sigma = 0, 0.1 
# creating a noise with the same dimension as the dataset (2,2) 
noise = np.random.normal(mu, sigma, [2,2]) 
print(noise)

"""
print output: 
array([[-0.11114313,  0.25927152],
       [ 0.06701506, -0.09364186]])
"""
signal = clean_signal + noise
print(signal)
"""
print output: 
          A         B

How to simulate target="_blank" in JavaScript

I personally prefer using the following code if it is for a single link. Otherwise it's probably best if you create a function with similar code.

onclick="this.target='_blank';"

I started using that to bypass the W3C's XHTML strict test.

Exit codes in Python

The exit codes only have meaning as assigned by the script author. The Unix tradition is that exit code 0 means 'success', anything else is failure. The only way to be sure what the exit codes for a given script mean is to examine the script itself.

how to get last insert id after insert query in codeigniter active record

Try this

function add_post($post_data){
   $this->db->insert('posts', $post_data);
   $insert_id = $this->db->insert_id();

   return  $insert_id;
}

In case of multiple inserts you could use

$this->db->trans_start();
$this->db->trans_complete();

Multiple queries executed in java in single statement

I think this is the easiest way for multy selection/update/insert/delete. You can run as many update/insert/delete as u want after select (you have to make a select first(a dummy if needed)) with executeUpdate(str) (just use new int(count1,count2,...)) and if u need a new selection close 'statement' and 'connection' and make new for next select. Like example:

String str1 = "select * from users";
String str9 = "INSERT INTO `port`(device_id, potition, port_type, di_p_pt) VALUE ('"+value1+"', '"+value2+"', '"+value3+"', '"+value4+"')";
String str2 = "Select port_id from port where device_id = '"+value1+"' and potition = '"+value2+"' and port_type = '"+value3+"' ";
try{  
    Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
    theConnection=(Connection) DriverManager.getConnection(dbURL,dbuser,dbpassword);  
    theStatement = theConnection.prepareStatement(str1);
    ResultSet theResult = theStatement.executeQuery();
    int count8 = theStatement.executeUpdate(str9);
    theStatement.close();
    theConnection.close();
    theConnection=DriverManager.getConnection(dbURL,dbuser,dbpassword);
    theStatement = theConnection.prepareStatement(str2);
    theResult = theStatement.executeQuery();

    ArrayList<Port> portList = new ArrayList<Port>();
    while (theResult.next()) {
        Port port = new Port();
        port.setPort_id(theResult.getInt("port_id"));

        portList.add(port);
    }

Java - Getting Data from MySQL database

Something like this would do:

public static void main(String[] args) {

    Connection con = null;
    Statement st = null;
    ResultSet rs = null;

    String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/t";
    String user = "";
    String password = "";

    try {
        Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
        con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, user, password);
        st = con.createStatement();
        rs = st.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM posts ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1;");

        if (rs.next()) {//get first result
            System.out.println(rs.getString(1));//coloumn 1
        }

    } catch (SQLException ex) {
        Logger lgr = Logger.getLogger(Version.class.getName());
        lgr.log(Level.SEVERE, ex.getMessage(), ex);

    } finally {
        try {
            if (rs != null) {
                rs.close();
            }
            if (st != null) {
                st.close();
            }
            if (con != null) {
                con.close();
            }

        } catch (SQLException ex) {
            Logger lgr = Logger.getLogger(Version.class.getName());
            lgr.log(Level.WARNING, ex.getMessage(), ex);
        }
    }
}

you can iterate over the results with a while like this:

while(rs.next())
{
System.out.println(rs.getString("Colomn_Name"));//or getString(1) for coloumn 1 etc
}

There are many other great tutorial out there like these to list a few:

As for your use of Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance(); see JDBC connection- Class.forName vs Class.forName().newInstance? which shows how you can just use Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver") as its not necessary to initiate it yourself

What's the fastest way to convert String to Number in JavaScript?

You can try using UnitOf, a measurement and data type conversion library we just officially released! UnitOf is super fast, small in size, and efficient at converting any data type without ever throwing an error or null/undefined. Default values you define or UnitOf's defaults are returned when a conversion is unsuccessful.

//One liner examples
UnitOf.DataType("12.5").toFloat(); //12.5 of type Float is returned. 0 would be returned if conversion failed.
UnitOf.DataType("Not A Num").toInt(10); //10 of type Int is returned as the conversion failed.

//Or as a variable
var unit = UnitOf.DataType("12.5");
unit.toInt(5); //12.5 of type Float is returned. 5 would be returned if the conversion failed.
unit.toFloat(8); // 12 of type Int is returned. 8 would be returned if the conversion failed.

Changing the color of an hr element

As a general rule, you can’t just set the color of a horizontal line with CSS like you would anything else. First of all, Internet Explorer needs the color in your CSS to read like this:

“color: #123455”

But Opera and Mozilla needs the color in your CSS to read like this:

“background-color: #123455”

So, you will need to add both options to your CSS.

Next, you will need to give the horizontal line some dimensions or it will default to the standard height, width and color set by your browser. Here is a sample code of what your CSS should look like to get the blue horizontal line.

hr {
border: 0;
width: 100%;
color: #123455;
background-color: #123455;
height: 5px;
}

Or you could just add the style to your HTML page directly when you insert a horizontal line, like this:

<hr style="background:#123455" />

Hope this helps.

Why am I getting AttributeError: Object has no attribute

Request header field Access-Control-Allow-Headers is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Headers

The headers you are trying to set are response headers. They have to be provided, in the response, by the server you are making the request to.

They have no place being set on the client. It would be pointless having a means to grant permissions if they could be granted by the site that wanted permission instead of the site that owned the data.

do { ... } while (0) — what is it good for?

It helps to group multiple statements into a single one so that a function-like macro can actually be used as a function. Suppose you have:

#define FOO(n)   foo(n);bar(n)

and you do:

void foobar(int n) {
  if (n)
     FOO(n);
}

then this expands to:

void foobar(int n) {
  if (n)
     foo(n);bar(n);
}

Notice that the second call bar(n) is not part of the if statement anymore.

Wrap both into do { } while(0), and you can also use the macro in an if statement.
