Laravel Eloquent compare date from datetime field

You can use this

whereDate('date', '=', $date)

If you give whereDate then compare only date from datetime field.

SQL MAX of multiple columns?

Please try using UNPIVOT:

SELECT MAX(MaxDt) MaxDt
   FROM tbl 
UNPIVOT
   (MaxDt FOR E IN 
      (Date1, Date2, Date3)
)AS unpvt;

Getting a slice of keys from a map

You also can take an array of keys with type []Value by method MapKeys of struct Value from package "reflect":

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "reflect"
)

func main() {
    abc := map[string]int{
        "a": 1,
        "b": 2,
        "c": 3,
    }

    keys := reflect.ValueOf(abc).MapKeys()

    fmt.Println(keys) // [a b c]
}

how to delete a specific row in codeigniter?

a simple way:

in view(pass the id value):

<td><?php echo anchor('textarea/delete_row?id='.$row->id, 'DELETE', 'id="$row->id"'); ?></td>

in controller(receive the id):

$id = $this->input->get('id');
$this->load->model('mod1');
$this->mod1->row_delete($id);

in model(get the passed args):

function row_delete($id){}

Actually, you should use the ajax to POST the id value to controller and delete the row, not the GET.

How to find if directory exists in Python

So close! os.path.isdir returns True if you pass in the name of a directory that currently exists. If it doesn't exist or it's not a directory, then it returns False.

Should I declare Jackson's ObjectMapper as a static field?

com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.type.TypeFactory._hashMapSuperInterfaceChain(HierarchicType)

com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.type.TypeFactory._findSuperInterfaceChain(Type, Class)
  com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.type.TypeFactory._findSuperTypeChain(Class, Class)
     com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.type.TypeFactory.findTypeParameters(Class, Class, TypeBindings)
        com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.type.TypeFactory.findTypeParameters(JavaType, Class)
           com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.type.TypeFactory._fromParamType(ParameterizedType, TypeBindings)
              com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.type.TypeFactory._constructType(Type, TypeBindings)
                 com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.type.TypeFactory.constructType(TypeReference)
                    com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper.convertValue(Object, TypeReference)

The method _hashMapSuperInterfaceChain in class com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.type.TypeFactory is synchronized. Am seeing contention on the same at high loads.

May be another reason to avoid a static ObjectMapper

Java, how to compare Strings with String Arrays

I presume you are wanting to check if the array contains a certain value, yes? If so, use the contains method.

if(Arrays.asList(codes).contains(userCode))

How do I draw a shadow under a UIView?

In your current code, you save the GState of the current context, configure it to draw a shadow .. and the restore it to what it was before you configured it to draw a shadow. Then, finally, you invoke the superclass's implementation of drawRect: .

Any drawing that should be affected by the shadow setting needs to happen after

CGContextSetShadow(currentContext, CGSizeMake(-15, 20), 5);

but before

CGContextRestoreGState(currentContext);

So if you want the superclass's drawRect: to be 'wrapped' in a shadow, then how about if you rearrange your code like this?

- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect {
    CGContextRef currentContext = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
    CGContextSaveGState(currentContext);
    CGContextSetShadow(currentContext, CGSizeMake(-15, 20), 5);
    [super drawRect: rect];
    CGContextRestoreGState(currentContext);
}

Android: remove notification from notification bar

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

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

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

Elasticsearch error: cluster_block_exception [FORBIDDEN/12/index read-only / allow delete (api)], flood stage disk watermark exceeded

This happens when Elasticsearch thinks the disk is running low on space so it puts itself into read-only mode.

By default Elasticsearch's decision is based on the percentage of disk space that's free, so on big disks this can happen even if you have many gigabytes of free space.

The flood stage watermark is 95% by default, so on a 1TB drive you need at least 50GB of free space or Elasticsearch will put itself into read-only mode.

For docs about the flood stage watermark see https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.2/disk-allocator.html.

The right solution depends on the context - for example a production environment vs a development environment.

Solution 1: free up disk space

Freeing up enough disk space so that more than 5% of the disk is free will solve this problem. Elasticsearch won't automatically take itself out of read-only mode once enough disk is free though, you'll have to do something like this to unlock the indices:

$ curl -XPUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://[YOUR_ELASTICSEARCH_ENDPOINT]:9200/_all/_settings -d '{"index.blocks.read_only_allow_delete": null}'

Solution 2: change the flood stage watermark setting

Change the "cluster.routing.allocation.disk.watermark.flood_stage" setting to something else. It can either be set to a lower percentage or to an absolute value. Here's an example of how to change the setting from the docs:

PUT _cluster/settings
{
  "transient": {
    "cluster.routing.allocation.disk.watermark.low": "100gb",
    "cluster.routing.allocation.disk.watermark.high": "50gb",
    "cluster.routing.allocation.disk.watermark.flood_stage": "10gb",
    "cluster.info.update.interval": "1m"
  }
}

Again, after doing this you'll have to use the curl command above to unlock the indices, but after that they should not go into read-only mode again.

redistributable offline .NET Framework 3.5 installer for Windows 8

Looks like you need the package from the installation media if you're you're offline (located at D:\sources\sxs) You could copy this to each machine that you require .NET 3.5 on (so technically you only need the installation media once to get the package) and get each machine to run the command:

Dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /All /Source:c:\dotnet35 /LimitAccess

There's a guide on MSDN.

Removing a non empty directory programmatically in C or C++

You want to write a function (a recursive function is easiest, but can easily run out of stack space on deep directories) that will enumerate the children of a directory. If you find a child that is a directory, you recurse on that. Otherwise, you delete the files inside. When you are done, the directory is empty and you can remove it via the syscall.

To enumerate directories on Unix, you can use opendir(), readdir(), and closedir(). To remove you use rmdir() on an empty directory (i.e. at the end of your function, after deleting the children) and unlink() on a file. Note that on many systems the d_type member in struct dirent is not supported; on these platforms, you will have to use stat() and S_ISDIR(stat.st_mode) to determine if a given path is a directory.

On Windows, you will use FindFirstFile()/FindNextFile() to enumerate, RemoveDirectory() on empty directories, and DeleteFile() to remove files.

Here's an example that might work on Unix (completely untested):

int remove_directory(const char *path) {
   DIR *d = opendir(path);
   size_t path_len = strlen(path);
   int r = -1;

   if (d) {
      struct dirent *p;

      r = 0;
      while (!r && (p=readdir(d))) {
          int r2 = -1;
          char *buf;
          size_t len;

          /* Skip the names "." and ".." as we don't want to recurse on them. */
          if (!strcmp(p->d_name, ".") || !strcmp(p->d_name, ".."))
             continue;

          len = path_len + strlen(p->d_name) + 2; 
          buf = malloc(len);

          if (buf) {
             struct stat statbuf;

             snprintf(buf, len, "%s/%s", path, p->d_name);
             if (!stat(buf, &statbuf)) {
                if (S_ISDIR(statbuf.st_mode))
                   r2 = remove_directory(buf);
                else
                   r2 = unlink(buf);
             }
             free(buf);
          }
          r = r2;
      }
      closedir(d);
   }

   if (!r)
      r = rmdir(path);

   return r;
}

Using iFrames In ASP.NET

Another option is to use placeholders.

Html:

<body>
   <div id="root">
      <asp:PlaceHolder ID="iframeDiv" runat="server"/>
   </div>
</body>

C#:

iframeDiv.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("<iframe src=\"" + whatever.com + "\"></iframe><br />"));

How to align a div inside td element using CSS class

I cannot help you much without a small (possibly reduced) snippit of the problem. If the problem is what I think it is then it's because a div by default takes up 100% width, and as such cannot be aligned.

What you may be after is to align the inline elements inside the div (such as text) with text-align:center; otherwise you may consider setting the div to display:inline-block;

If you do go down the inline-block route then you may have to consider my favorite IE hack.

width:100px;
display:inline-block;
zoom:1; //IE only
*display:inline; //IE only

Happy Coding :)

How to select specific form element in jQuery?

It isn't valid to have the same ID twice, that's why #name only finds the first one.

You can try:

$("#form2 input").val('Hello World!');

Or,

$("#form2 input[name=name]").val('Hello World!');

If you're stuck with an invalid page and want to select all #names, you can use the attribute selector on the id:

$("input[id=name]").val('Hello World!');

How do I show a running clock in Excel?

See the below code (taken from this post)

Put this code in a Module in VBA (Developer Tab -> Visual Basic)

Dim TimerActive As Boolean
Sub StartTimer()
    Start_Timer
End Sub
Private Sub Start_Timer()
    TimerActive = True
    Application.OnTime Now() + TimeValue("00:01:00"), "Timer"
End Sub
Private Sub Stop_Timer()
    TimerActive = False
End Sub
Private Sub Timer()
    If TimerActive Then
        ActiveSheet.Cells(1, 1).Value = Time
        Application.OnTime Now() + TimeValue("00:01:00"), "Timer"
    End If
End Sub

You can invoke the "StartTimer" function when the workbook opens and have it repeat every minute by adding the below code to your workbooks Visual Basic "This.Workbook" class in the Visual Basic editor.

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
    Module1.StartTimer
End Sub

Now, every time 1 minute passes the Timer procedure will be invoked, and set cell A1 equal to the current time.

Save bitmap to location

Make sure the directory is created before you call bitmap.compress:

new File(FileName.substring(0,FileName.lastIndexOf("/"))).mkdirs();

Sending a JSON HTTP POST request from Android

try some thing like blow:

SString otherParametersUrServiceNeed =  "Company=acompany&Lng=test&MainPeriod=test&UserID=123&CourseDate=8:10:10";
String request = "http://android.schoolportal.gr/Service.svc/SaveValues";

URL url = new URL(request); 
HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();   
connection.setDoOutput(true);
connection.setDoInput(true);
connection.setInstanceFollowRedirects(false); 
connection.setRequestMethod("POST"); 
connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"); 
connection.setRequestProperty("charset", "utf-8");
connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Length", "" + Integer.toString(otherParametersUrServiceNeed.getBytes().length));
connection.setUseCaches (false);

DataOutputStream wr = new DataOutputStream(connection.getOutputStream ());
wr.writeBytes(otherParametersUrServiceNeed);

   JSONObject jsonParam = new JSONObject();
jsonParam.put("ID", "25");
jsonParam.put("description", "Real");
jsonParam.put("enable", "true");

wr.writeBytes(jsonParam.toString());

wr.flush();
wr.close();

How to hide "Showing 1 of N Entries" with the dataTables.js library

If you also need to disable the drop-down (not to hide the text) then set the lengthChange option to false

$('#datatable').dataTable( {
  "lengthChange": false
} );

Works for DataTables 1.10+

Tensorflow set CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES within jupyter

You can do it faster without any imports just by using magics:

%env CUDA_DEVICE_ORDER=PCI_BUS_ID
%env CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0

Notice that all env variable are strings, so no need to use ". You can verify that env-variable is set up by running: %env <name_of_var>. Or check all of them with %env.

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

I did the following:

create a file called case

paste the following in the file:

#!/bin/sh

cd /home/"$1"

save it and then:

chmod +x case

I also created an alias in my .bashrc:

alias disk='cd /home/; . case'

now when I type:

case 12345

essentially I am typing:

cd /home/12345

You can type any folder after 'case':

case 12

case 15

case 17

which is like typing:

cd /home/12

cd /home/15

cd /home/17

respectively

In my case the path is much longer - these guys summed it up with the ~ info earlier.

how to define ssh private key for servers fetched by dynamic inventory in files

I had a similar issue and solved it with a patch to ec2.py and adding some configuration parameters to ec2.ini. The patch takes the value of ec2_key_name, prefixes it with the ssh_key_path, and adds the ssh_key_suffix to the end, and writes out ansible_ssh_private_key_file as this value.

The following variables have to be added to ec2.ini in a new 'ssh' section (this is optional if the defaults match your environment):

[ssh]
# Set the path and suffix for the ssh keys
ssh_key_path = ~/.ssh
ssh_key_suffix = .pem

Here is the patch for ec2.py:

204a205,206
>     'ssh_key_path': '~/.ssh',
>     'ssh_key_suffix': '.pem',
422a425,428
>         # SSH key setup
>         self.ssh_key_path = os.path.expanduser(config.get('ssh', 'ssh_key_path'))
>         self.ssh_key_suffix = config.get('ssh', 'ssh_key_suffix')
> 
1490a1497
>         instance_vars["ansible_ssh_private_key_file"] = os.path.join(self.ssh_key_path, instance_vars["ec2_key_name"] + self.ssh_key_suffix)

Access host database from a docker container

From Docker 17.06 onwards, a special Mac-only DNS name is available in docker containers that resolves to the IP address of the host. It is:

how to add the missing RANDR extension

First off, Xvfb doesn't read configuration from xorg.conf. Xvfb is a variant of the KDrive X servers and like all members of that family gets its configuration from the command line.

It is true that XRandR and Xinerama are mutually exclusive, but in the case of Xvfb there's no Xinerama in the first place. You can enable the XRandR extension by starting Xvfb using at least the following command line options

Xvfb +extension RANDR [further options]

Set width of a "Position: fixed" div relative to parent div

You can also solve it by jQuery:

var new_width = $('#container').width();
$('#fixed').width(new_width); 

This was so helpful to me because my layout was responsive, and the inherit solution wasn't working with me!

error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.5:

Mixaz's above answer worked for me. However I had issues installing the package because of PGP check failures. Installing it by skipping the signature worked, you could try this :

How to change package name in android studio?

In projects that use the Gradle build system, what you want to change is the applicationId in the build.gradle file. The build system uses this value to override anything specified by hand in the manifest file when it does the manifest merge and build.

For example, your module's build.gradle file looks something like this:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
    compileSdkVersion 20
    buildToolsVersion "20.0.0"

    defaultConfig {
        // CHANGE THE APPLICATION ID BELOW
        applicationId "com.example.fred.myapplication"
        minSdkVersion 10
        targetSdkVersion 20
        versionCode 1
        versionName "1.0"
    }
}

applicationId is the name the build system uses for the property that eventually gets written to the package attribute of the manifest tag in the manifest file. It was renamed to prevent confusion with the Java package name (which you have also tried to modify), which has nothing to do with it.

Check existence of input argument in a Bash shell script

It is:

if [ $# -eq 0 ]
  then
    echo "No arguments supplied"
fi

The $# variable will tell you the number of input arguments the script was passed.

Or you can check if an argument is an empty string or not like:

if [ -z "$1" ]
  then
    echo "No argument supplied"
fi

The -z switch will test if the expansion of "$1" is a null string or not. If it is a null string then the body is executed.

Use StringFormat to add a string to a WPF XAML binding

  1. In the target directory:
<Directory "**/usr/local/PATH**">
    AllowOverride None
    Require all granted

    Header always set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
    Header always set Access-Control-Allow-Methods "POST, GET, OPTIONS, DELETE, PUT"
    Header always set Access-Control-Allow-Headers "x-requested-with, Content-Type, origin, authorization, accept, client-security-token"
    Header always set Access-Control-Expose-Headers "Content-Security-Policy, Location"

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} OPTIONS
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1 [R=200,L]

</Directory>

If running outside container, you may need to restart apache service.

Push origin master error on new repository

HTML - Arabic Support

You not only have to put the meta tag, telling that it is UTF-8 but really make the document UTF-8. You can do that with good editors (like notepad++) by converting them to "unicode" or "UTF-8 without BOM". Than you can simply use arabic characters

As this page is UTF-8, here are some examples (I hope I don't write anything rude here): ???

If you use a server side scripting language make sure that it does not output the page in a different encoding. In PHP e.g. you can set it like this:

header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');

How to Uninstall RVM?

It’s easy; just do the following:

rvm implode

or

rm -rf ~/.rvm

  • ~/.bash_profile
  • ~/.profile

And maybe others depending on whatever shell you’re using.

What is the Swift equivalent of respondsToSelector?

Update Mar 20, 2017 for Swift 3 syntax:

If you don't care whether the optional method exists, just call delegate?.optionalMethod?()

Otherwise, using guard is probably the best approach:

weak var delegate: SomeDelegateWithOptionals?

func someMethod() {
    guard let method = delegate?.optionalMethod else {
        // optional not implemented
        alternativeMethod()
        return
    }
    method()
}

Original answer:

You can use the "if let" approach to test an optional protocol like this:

weak var delegate: SomeDelegateWithOptionals?

func someMethod() {
  if let delegate = delegate {
    if let theMethod = delegate.theOptionalProtocolMethod? {
      theMethod()
      return
    }
  }
  // Reaching here means the delegate doesn't exist or doesn't respond to the optional method
  alternativeMethod()
}

Scrolling to element using webdriver?

You are trying to run Java code with Python. In Python/Selenium, the org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actions are reflected in ActionChains class:

from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains

element = driver.find_element_by_id("my-id")

actions = ActionChains(driver)
actions.move_to_element(element).perform()

Or, you can also "scroll into view" via scrollIntoView():

driver.execute_script("arguments[0].scrollIntoView();", element)

If you are interested in the differences:

MIPS: Integer Multiplication and Division

To multiply, use mult for signed multiplication and multu for unsigned multiplication. Note that the result of the multiplication of two 32-bit numbers yields a 64-number. If you want the result back in $v0 that means that you assume the result will fit in 32 bits.

The 32 most significant bits will be held in the HI special register (accessible by mfhi instruction) and the 32 least significant bits will be held in the LO special register (accessible by the mflo instruction):

E.g.:

li $a0, 5
li $a1, 3
mult $a0, $a1
mfhi $a2 # 32 most significant bits of multiplication to $a2
mflo $v0 # 32 least significant bits of multiplication to $v0

To divide, use div for signed division and divu for unsigned division. In this case, the HI special register will hold the remainder and the LO special register will hold the quotient of the division.

E.g.:

div $a0, $a1
mfhi $a2 # remainder to $a2
mflo $v0 # quotient to $v0

log4net hierarchy and logging levels

I have been using TRACE in conjunction with PostSharp OnBoundaryEntry and OnBoundaryExit for a long time. I wonder why these other levels are not in the documentation. Furthermore, what is the true priority of all these levels?

check for null date in CASE statement, where have I gone wrong?

Try:

select
     id,
     StartDate,
CASE WHEN StartDate IS NULL
    THEN 'Awaiting'
    ELSE 'Approved' END AS StartDateStatus
FROM myTable

You code would have been doing a When StartDate = NULL, I think.


NULL is never equal to NULL (as NULL is the absence of a value). NULL is also never not equal to NULL. The syntax noted above is ANSI SQL standard and the converse would be StartDate IS NOT NULL.

You can run the following:

SELECT CASE WHEN (NULL = NULL) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END AS EqualityCheck,
CASE WHEN (NULL <> NULL) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END AS InEqualityCheck,
CASE WHEN (NULL IS NULL) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END AS NullComparison

And this returns:

EqualityCheck = 0
InEqualityCheck = 0
NullComparison = 1

For completeness, in SQL Server you can:

SET ANSI_NULLS OFF;

Which would result in your equals comparisons working differently:

SET ANSI_NULLS OFF

SELECT CASE WHEN (NULL = NULL) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END AS EqualityCheck,
CASE WHEN (NULL <> NULL) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END AS InEqualityCheck,
CASE WHEN (NULL IS NULL) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END AS NullComparison

Which returns:

EqualityCheck = 1
InEqualityCheck = 0
NullComparison = 1

But I would highly recommend against doing this. People subsequently maintaining your code might be compelled to hunt you down and hurt you...

Also, it will no longer work in upcoming versions of SQL server:

Getting the closest string match

A very, very good resource for these kinds of algorithms is Simmetrics: http://sourceforge.net/projects/simmetrics/

Unfortunately the awesome website containing a lot of the documentation is gone :( In case it comes back up again, its previous address was this: http://www.dcs.shef.ac.uk/~sam/simmetrics.html

Voila (courtesy of "Wayback Machine"): http://web.archive.org/web/20081230184321/http://www.dcs.shef.ac.uk/~sam/simmetrics.html

You can study the code source, there are dozens of algorithms for these kinds of comparisons, each with a different trade-off. The implementations are in Java.

Auto start node.js server on boot

Here is another solution I wrote in C# to auto startup native node server or pm2 server on Windows.

javascript createElement(), style problem

yourElement.setAttribute("style", "background-color:red; font-size:2em;");

Or you could write the element as pure HTML and use .innerHTML = [raw html code]... that's very ugly though.

In answer to your first question, first you use var myElement = createElement(...);, then you do document.body.appendChild(myElement);.

Best way to remove items from a collection

If you want to access members of the collection by one of their properties, you might consider using a Dictionary<T> or KeyedCollection<T> instead. This way you don't have to search for the item you're looking for.

Otherwise, you could at least do this:

foreach (SPRoleAssignment spAssignment in workspace.RoleAssignments)
{
    if (spAssignment.Member.Name == shortName)
    {
        workspace.RoleAssignments.Remove(spAssignment);
        break;
    }
}

Dynamically generating a QR code with PHP

It's worth adding that, in addition to the QR codes library posted by @abaumg, Google provides a QR Codes API QR Codes APImany thanks to @Toukakoukan for the link update.

To use this , basically:

https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?chs=300x300&cht=qr&chl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F&choe=UTF-8
  • 300x300 is the size of the QR image you want to generate,
  • the chl is the url-encoded string you want to change into a QR code, and
  • the choe is the (optional) encoding.

The link, above, gives more detail, but to use it just have the src of an image point to the manipulated value, like so:

<img src="https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?chs=300x300&cht=qr&chl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F&choe=UTF-8" title="Link to Google.com" />

Demo:

What are SP (stack) and LR in ARM?

LR is link register used to hold the return address for a function call.

SP is stack pointer. The stack is generally used to hold "automatic" variables and context/parameters across function calls. Conceptually you can think of the "stack" as a place where you "pile" your data. You keep "stacking" one piece of data over the other and the stack pointer tells you how "high" your "stack" of data is. You can remove data from the "top" of the "stack" and make it shorter.

From the ARM architecture reference:

SP, the Stack Pointer

Register R13 is used as a pointer to the active stack.

In Thumb code, most instructions cannot access SP. The only instructions that can access SP are those designed to use SP as a stack pointer. The use of SP for any purpose other than as a stack pointer is deprecated. Note Using SP for any purpose other than as a stack pointer is likely to break the requirements of operating systems, debuggers, and other software systems, causing them to malfunction.

LR, the Link Register

Register R14 is used to store the return address from a subroutine. At other times, LR can be used for other purposes.

When a BL or BLX instruction performs a subroutine call, LR is set to the subroutine return address. To perform a subroutine return, copy LR back to the program counter. This is typically done in one of two ways, after entering the subroutine with a BL or BLX instruction:

• Return with a BX LR instruction.

• On subroutine entry, store LR to the stack with an instruction of the form: PUSH {,LR} and use a matching instruction to return: POP {,PC} ...

This link gives an example of a trivial subroutine.

Here is an example of how registers are saved on the stack prior to a call and then popped back to restore their content.

SQL Server SELECT INTO @variable?

It looks like your syntax is slightly out. This has some good examples

DECLARE @TempCustomer TABLE
(
   CustomerId uniqueidentifier,
   FirstName nvarchar(100),
   LastName nvarchar(100),
   Email nvarchar(100)
);
INSERT @TempCustomer 
SELECT 
    CustomerId, 
    FirstName, 
    LastName, 
    Email 
FROM 
    Customer
WHERE 
    CustomerId = @CustomerId

Then later

SELECT CustomerId FROM @TempCustomer

How do you properly use WideCharToMultiByte

You use the lpMultiByteStr [out] parameter by creating a new char array. You then pass this char array in to get it filled. You only need to initialize the length of the string + 1 so that you can have a null terminated string after the conversion.

Here are a couple of useful helper functions for you, they show the usage of all parameters.

#include <string>

std::string wstrtostr(const std::wstring &wstr)
{
    // Convert a Unicode string to an ASCII string
    std::string strTo;
    char *szTo = new char[wstr.length() + 1];
    szTo[wstr.size()] = '\0';
    WideCharToMultiByte(CP_ACP, 0, wstr.c_str(), -1, szTo, (int)wstr.length(), NULL, NULL);
    strTo = szTo;
    delete[] szTo;
    return strTo;
}

std::wstring strtowstr(const std::string &str)
{
    // Convert an ASCII string to a Unicode String
    std::wstring wstrTo;
    wchar_t *wszTo = new wchar_t[str.length() + 1];
    wszTo[str.size()] = L'\0';
    MultiByteToWideChar(CP_ACP, 0, str.c_str(), -1, wszTo, (int)str.length());
    wstrTo = wszTo;
    delete[] wszTo;
    return wstrTo;
}

--

Anytime in documentation when you see that it has a parameter which is a pointer to a type, and they tell you it is an out variable, you will want to create that type, and then pass in a pointer to it. The function will use that pointer to fill your variable.

So you can understand this better:

//pX is an out parameter, it fills your variable with 10.
void fillXWith10(int *pX)
{
  *pX = 10;
}

int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
  int X;
  fillXWith10(&X);
  return 0;
}

Elegant ways to support equivalence ("equality") in Python classes

Instead of using subclassing/mixins, I like to use a generic class decorator

def comparable(cls):
    """ Class decorator providing generic comparison functionality """

    def __eq__(self, other):
        return isinstance(other, self.__class__) and self.__dict__ == other.__dict__

    def __ne__(self, other):
        return not self.__eq__(other)

    cls.__eq__ = __eq__
    cls.__ne__ = __ne__
    return cls

Usage:

@comparable
class Number(object):
    def __init__(self, x):
        self.x = x

a = Number(1)
b = Number(1)
assert a == b

What is Activity.finish() method doing exactly?

@user3282164 According to the Activity life-cycle it should go through onPause() -> onStop() -> onDestroy() upon calling finish().

The diagram does not show any straight path from [Activity Running] to [onDestroy()] caused by the system.

onStop() doc says "Note that this method may never be called, in low memory situations where the system does not have enough memory to keep your activity's process running after its onPause() method is called."

HTML Best Practices: Should I use &rsquo; or the special keyboard shortcut?

One risk of using the keyboard shortcut is that it requires using a non-ASCII encoding. That might be fine, but if your source is loaded by different editors in different locales, you might hit trouble somewhere along the line.

It might be safer to use either &#8217; or &rsquo; (which are equivalent) as both are ASCII.

Echo equivalent in PowerShell for script testing

How to use jQuery in chrome extension?

You have to add your jquery script to your chrome-extension project and to the background section of your manifest.json like this :

  "background":
    {
        "scripts": ["thirdParty/jquery-2.0.3.js", "background.js"]
    }

If you need jquery in a content_scripts, you have to add it in the manifest too:

"content_scripts": 
    [
        {
            "matches":["http://website*"],
            "js":["thirdParty/jquery.1.10.2.min.js", "script.js"],
            "css": ["css/style.css"],
            "run_at": "document_end"
        }
    ]

This is what I did.

Also, if I recall correctly, the background scripts are executed in a background window that you can open via chrome://extensions.

phpMyAdmin is throwing a #2002 cannot log in to the mysql server phpmyadmin

After Many attempts in getting this fixed, it was found out that the issue was with Mysql users not being allowed to login

netstat -na | grep -i 3306

If it is listening on all interfaces, then you can assign any of your interfaces to this

$cfg['Servers'][$i]['host'] = 'ANY INTERFACE';

Try to Login using the above IP using the comand line

mysql -u bla -p -h <Above_IP_address>

If this works then your phpmyadmin will also work, If not fix the mysql.user table so that the above command works and allows you to login to mysql.

Common elements in two lists

Using Java 8's Stream.filter() method in combination with List.contains():

import static java.util.Arrays.asList;
import static java.util.stream.Collectors.toList;

/* ... */

List<Integer> list1 = asList(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
List<Integer> list2 = asList(1, 3, 5, 7, 9);

List<Integer> common = list1.stream().filter(list2::contains).collect(toList());

Appending a list to a list of lists in R

There are two other solutions which involve assigning to an index one past the end of the list. Here is a solution that does use append.

resultsa <- list(1,2,3,4,5)
resultsb <- list(6,7,8,9,10)
resultsc <- list(11,12,13,14,15)

outlist <- list(resultsa)
outlist <- append(outlist, list(resultsb))
outlist <- append(outlist, list(resultsc))

which gives your requested format

> str(outlist)
List of 3
 $ :List of 5
  ..$ : num 1
  ..$ : num 2
  ..$ : num 3
  ..$ : num 4
  ..$ : num 5
 $ :List of 5
  ..$ : num 6
  ..$ : num 7
  ..$ : num 8
  ..$ : num 9
  ..$ : num 10
 $ :List of 5
  ..$ : num 11
  ..$ : num 12
  ..$ : num 13
  ..$ : num 14
  ..$ : num 15

python: NameError:global name '...‘ is not defined

You need to call self.a() to invoke a from b. a is not a global function, it is a method on the class.

You may want to read through the Python tutorial on classes some more to get the finer details down.

CodeIgniter: Unable to connect to your database server using the provided settings Error Message

In your configurations, specify the port number your database is on. You can find the port number at the top left corner of phpMyAdmin. It would look something like this

const DB_HOST = 'localhost:3308';

Why Git is not allowing me to commit even after configuration?

That’s a typo. You’ve accidently set user.mail with no e. Fix it by setting user.email in the global configuration with

git config --global user.email "[email protected]"

I have the same problems, I solved it by add @Access(AccessType.PROPERTY)

C# Form.Close vs Form.Dispose

As a general rule, I'd always advocate explicitly calling the Dispose method for any class that offers it, either by calling the method directly or wrapping in a "using" block.

Most often, classes that implement IDisposible do so because they wrap some unmanaged resource that needs to be freed. While these classes should have finalizers that act as a safeguard, calling Dispose will help free that memory earlier and with lower overhead.

In the case of the Form object, as the link fro Kyra noted, the Close method is documented to invoke Dispose on your behalf so you need not do so explicitly. However, to me, that has always felt like relying on an implementaion detail. I prefer to always call both Close and Dispose for classes that implement them, to guard against implementation changes/errors and for the sake of being clear. A properly implemented Dispose method should be safe to invoke multiple times.

How to delete node from XML file using C#

You can use Linq to XML to do this:

XDocument doc = XDocument.Load("input.xml");
var q = from node in doc.Descendants("Setting")
        let attr = node.Attribute("name")
        where attr != null && attr.Value == "File1"
        select node;
q.ToList().ForEach(x => x.Remove());
doc.Save("output.xml");

Line Break in XML?

If you use CDATA, you could embed the line breaks directly into the XML I think. Example:

<song>
    <title>Song Title</title>
    <lyric><![CDATA[Line 1
Line 2
Line 3]]></lyric>
</song>

Difference between Xms and Xmx and XX:MaxPermSize

Java objects reside in an area called the heap, while metadata such as class objects and method objects reside in the permanent generation or Perm Gen area. The permanent generation is not part of the heap.

The heap is created when the JVM starts up and may increase or decrease in size while the application runs. When the heap becomes full, garbage is collected. During the garbage collection objects that are no longer used are cleared, thus making space for new objects.

-Xmssize Specifies the initial heap size.

-Xmxsize Specifies the maximum heap size.

-XX:MaxPermSize=size Sets the maximum permanent generation space size. This option was deprecated in JDK 8, and superseded by the -XX:MaxMetaspaceSize option.

Sizes are expressed in bytes. Append the letter k or K to indicate kilobytes, m or M to indicate megabytes, g or G to indicate gigabytes.

How to display count of notifications in app launcher icon

Android ("vanilla" android without custom launchers and touch interfaces) does not allow changing of the application icon, because it is sealed in the .apk tightly once the program is compiled. There is no way to change it to a 'drawable' programmatically using standard APIs. You may achieve your goal by using a widget instead of an icon. Widgets are customisable. Please read this :http://www.cnet.com/8301-19736_1-10278814-251.html and this http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/appwidgets/index.html. Also look here: https://github.com/jgilfelt/android-viewbadger. It can help you.

As for badge numbers. As I said before - there is no standard way for doing this. But we all know that Android is an open operating system and we can do everything we want with it, so the only way to add a badge number - is either to use some 3-rd party apps or custom launchers, or front-end touch interfaces: Samsung TouchWiz or Sony Xperia's interface. Other answers use this capabilities and you can search for this on stackoverflow, e.g. here. But I will repeat one more time: there is no standard API for this and I want to say it is a bad practice. App's icon notification badge is an iOS pattern and it should not be used in Android apps anyway. In Andrioid there is a status bar notifications for these purposes:http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/notifiers/notifications.html So, if Facebook or someone other use this - it is not a common pattern or trend we should consider. But if you insist anyway and don't want to use home screen widgets then look here, please:

How does Facebook add badge numbers on app icon in Android?

As you see this is not an actual Facebook app it's TouchWiz. In vanilla android this can be achieved with Nova Launcher http://forums.androidcentral.com/android-applications/199709-how-guide-global-badge-notifications.html So if you will see icon badges somewhere, be sure it is either a 3-rd party launcher or touch interface (frontend wrapper). May be sometime Google will add this capability to the standard Android API.

Why can't I define my workbook as an object?

You'll need to open the workbook to refer to it.

Sub Setwbk()

    Dim wbk As Workbook

    Set wbk = Workbooks.Open("F:\Quarterly Reports\2012 Reports\New Reports\ _
        Master Benchmark Data Sheet.xlsx")

End Sub

* Follow Doug's answer if the workbook is already open. For the sake of making this answer as complete as possible, I'm including my comment on his answer:

Why do I have to "set" it?

Set is how VBA assigns object variables. Since a Range and a Workbook/Worksheet are objects, you must use Set with these.

Read a HTML file into a string variable in memory

AngularJS routing without the hash '#'

In fact you need the # (hashtag) for non HTML5 browsers.

Otherwise they will just do an HTTP call to the server at the mentioned href. The # is an old browser shortcircuit which doesn't fire the request, which allows many js frameworks to build their own clientside rerouting on top of that.

You can use $locationProvider.html5Mode(true) to tell angular to use HTML5 strategy if available.

Here the list of browser that support HTML5 strategy: http://caniuse.com/#feat=history

Check which element has been clicked with jQuery

Answer from vpiTriumph lays out the details nicely.
Here's a small handy variation for when there are unique element ids for the data set you want to access:

    var id = event.target.id;
    console.log('id = ' + id); 
});

Java itself has no equivalent features, but third-party libraries exist which offer similar functionality, e.g.Kilim.

What are the differences between virtual memory and physical memory?

See here: Physical Vs Virtual Memory

Virtual memory is stored on the hard drive and is used when the RAM is filled. Physical memory is limited to the size of the RAM chips installed in the computer. Virtual memory is limited by the size of the hard drive, so virtual memory has the capability for more storage.

Update Git branches from master

You have basically two options:

  1. You merge. That is actually quite simple, and a perfectly local operation:

    git checkout b1
    git merge master
    # repeat for b2 and b3
    

    This leaves the history exactly as it happened: You forked from master, you made changes to all branches, and finally you incorporated the changes from master into all three branches.

    git can handle this situation really well, it is designed for merges happening in all directions, at the same time. You can trust it be able to get all threads together correctly. It simply does not care whether branch b1 merges master, or master merges b1, the merge commit looks all the same to git. The only difference is, which branch ends up pointing to this merge commit.

  2. You rebase. People with an SVN, or similar background find this more intuitive. The commands are analogue to the merge case:

    git checkout b1
    git rebase master
    # repeat for b2 and b3
    

    People like this approach because it retains a linear history in all branches. However, this linear history is a lie, and you should be aware that it is. Consider this commit graph:

    A --- B --- C --- D <-- master
     \
      \-- E --- F --- G <-- b1
    

    The merge results in the true history:

    A --- B --- C --- D <-- master
     \                 \
      \-- E --- F --- G +-- H <-- b1
    

    The rebase, however, gives you this history:

    A --- B --- C --- D <-- master
                       \
                        \-- E' --- F' --- G' <-- b1
    

    The point is, that the commits E', F', and G' never truly existed, and have likely never been tested. They may not even compile. It is actually quite easy to create nonsensical commits via a rebase, especially when the changes in master are important to the development in b1.

    The consequence of this may be, that you can't distinguish which of the three commits E, F, and G actually introduced a regression, diminishing the value of git bisect.

    I am not saying that you shouldn't use git rebase. It has its uses. But whenever you do use it, you need to be aware of the fact that you are lying about history. And you should at least compile test the new commits.

Sass .scss: Nesting and multiple classes?

Christoph's answer is perfect. Sometimes however you may want to go more classes up than one. In this case you could try the @at-root and #{} css features which would enable two root classes to sit next to each other using &.

This wouldn't work (due to the nothing before & rule):

_x000D_
_x000D_
container {_x000D_
    background:red;_x000D_
    color:white;_x000D_
    _x000D_
    .desc& {_x000D_
      background: blue;_x000D_
    }_x000D_
_x000D_
    .hello {_x000D_
        padding-left:50px;_x000D_
    }_x000D_
}
_x000D_
_x000D_
_x000D_

But this would (using @at-root plus #{&}):

_x000D_
_x000D_
container {_x000D_
    background:red;_x000D_
    color:white;_x000D_
    _x000D_
    @at-root .desc#{&} {_x000D_
      background: blue;_x000D_
    }_x000D_
_x000D_
    .hello {_x000D_
        padding-left:50px;_x000D_
    }_x000D_
}
_x000D_

It's compiler dependent. That said, in general using " prioritizes headers in the current working directory over system headers. <> usually is used for system headers. From to the specification (Section 6.10.2):

A preprocessing directive of the form

  # include <h-char-sequence> new-line

searches a sequence of implementation-defined places for a header identified uniquely by the specified sequence between the < and > delimiters, and causes the replacement of that directive by the entire contents of the header. How the places are specified or the header identified is implementation-defined.

A preprocessing directive of the form

  # include "q-char-sequence" new-line

causes the replacement of that directive by the entire contents of the source file identified by the specified sequence between the " delimiters. The named source file is searched for in an implementation-defined manner. If this search is not supported, or if the search fails, the directive is reprocessed as if it read

  # include <h-char-sequence> new-line

with the identical contained sequence (including > characters, if any) from the original directive.

So on most compilers, using the "" first checks your local directory, and if it doesn't find a match then moves on to check the system paths. Using <> starts the search with system headers.

What do \t and \b do?

Backspace and tab both move the cursor position. Neither is truly a 'printable' character.

Your code says:

  1. print "foo"
  2. move the cursor back one space
  3. move the cursor forward to the next tabstop
  4. output "bar".

To get the output you expect, you need printf("foo\b \tbar"). Note the extra 'space'. That says:

  1. output "foo"
  2. move the cursor back one space
  3. output a ' ' (this replaces the second 'o').
  4. move the cursor forward to the next tabstop
  5. output "bar".

Most of the time it is inappropriate to use tabs and backspace for formatting your program output. Learn to use printf() formatting specifiers. Rendering of tabs can vary drastically depending on how the output is viewed.

This little script shows one way to alter your terminal's tab rendering. Tested on Ubuntu + gnome-terminal:

#!/bin/bash
tabs -8 
echo -e "\tnormal tabstop"
for x in `seq 2 10`; do
  tabs $x
  echo -e "\ttabstop=$x"
 done

tabs -8
echo -e "\tnormal tabstop"

Also see man setterm and regtabs.

And if you redirect your output or just write to a file, tabs will quite commonly be displayed as fewer than the standard 8 chars, especially in "programming" editors and IDEs.

So in otherwords:

printf("%-8s%s", "foo", "bar"); /* this will ALWAYS output "foo     bar" */
printf("foo\tbar"); /* who knows how this will be rendered */

IMHO, tabs in general are rarely appropriate for anything. An exception might be generating output for a program that requires tab-separated-value input files (similar to comma separated value).

Backspace '\b' is a different story... it should never be used to create a text file since it will just make a text editor spit out garbage. But it does have many applications in writing interactive command line programs that cannot be accomplished with format strings alone. If you find yourself needing it a lot, check out "ncurses", which gives you much better control over where your output goes on the terminal screen. And typically, since it's 2011 and not 1995, a GUI is usually easier to deal with for highly interactive programs. But again, there are exceptions. Like writing a telnet server or console for a new scripting language.

How to create a function in SQL Server

This one get everything between the "." characters. Please note this won't work for more complex URLs like "www.somesite.co.uk" Ideally the function would check for how many instances of the "." character and choose the substring accordingly.

CREATE FUNCTION dbo.GetURL (@URL VARCHAR(250))
RETURNS VARCHAR(250)
AS BEGIN
    DECLARE @Work VARCHAR(250)

    SET @Work = @URL

    SET @Work = SUBSTRING(@work, CHARINDEX('.', @work) + 1, LEN(@work))   
    SET @Work = SUBSTRING(@work, 0, CHARINDEX('.', @work))

    --Alternate:
    --SET @Work = SUBSTRING(@work, CHARINDEX('.', @work) + 1, CHARINDEX('.', @work) + 1)   

    RETURN @work
END

git stash -> merge stashed change with current changes

What I want is a way to merge my stashed changes with the current changes

Here is another option to do it:

git stash show -p|git apply
git stash drop

git stash show -p will show the patch of last saved stash. git apply will apply it. After the merge is done, merged stash can be dropped with git stash drop.

How to read all of Inputstream in Server Socket JAVA

int c;
    String raw = "";
    do {
        c = inputstream.read();
        raw+=(char)c;
    } while(inputstream.available()>0);

InputStream.available() shows the available bytes only after one byte is read, hence do .. while

How to prevent buttons from submitting forms

You're using an HTML5 button element. Remember the reason is this button has a default behavior of submit, as stated in the W3 specification as seen here: W3C HTML5 Button

So you need to specify its type explicitly:

<button type="button">Button</button>

in order to override the default submit type. I just want to point out the reason why this happens.

C# : assign data to properties via constructor vs. instantiating

Second approach is object initializer in C#

Object initializers let you assign values to any accessible fields or properties of an object at creation time without having to explicitly invoke a constructor.

The first approach

var albumData = new Album("Albumius", "Artistus", 2013);

explicitly calls the constructor, whereas in second approach constructor call is implicit. With object initializer you can leave out some properties as well. Like:

 var albumData = new Album
        {
            Name = "Albumius",
        };

Object initializer would translate into something like:

var albumData; 
var temp = new Album();
temp.Name = "Albumius";
temp.Artist = "Artistus";
temp.Year = 2013;
albumData = temp;

Why it uses a temporary object (in debug mode) is answered here by Jon Skeet.

As far as advantages for both approaches are concerned, IMO, object initializer would be easier to use specially if you don't want to initialize all the fields. As far as performance difference is concerned, I don't think there would any since object initializer calls the parameter less constructor and then assign the properties. Even if there is going to be performance difference it should be negligible.

ToString() function in Go

When you have own struct, you could have own convert-to-string function.

package main

import (
    "fmt"
)

type Color struct {
    Red   int `json:"red"`
    Green int `json:"green"`
    Blue  int `json:"blue"`
}

func (c Color) String() string {
    return fmt.Sprintf("[%d, %d, %d]", c.Red, c.Green, c.Blue)
}

func main() {
    c := Color{Red: 123, Green: 11, Blue: 34}
    fmt.Println(c) //[123, 11, 34]
}

Password masking console application

Here's a version that adds support for the Escape key (which returns a null string)

public static string ReadPassword()
{
    string password = "";
    while (true)
    {
        ConsoleKeyInfo key = Console.ReadKey(true);
        switch (key.Key)
        {
            case ConsoleKey.Escape:
                return null;
            case ConsoleKey.Enter:
                return password;
            case ConsoleKey.Backspace:
                if (password.Length > 0) 
                {
                    password = password.Substring(0, (password.Length - 1));
                    Console.Write("\b \b");
                }
                break;
            default:

}

How can I find all matches to a regular expression in Python?

Use re.findall or re.finditer instead.

re.findall(pattern, string) returns a list of matching strings.

re.finditer(pattern, string) returns an iterator over MatchObject objects.

Example:

re.findall( r'all (.*?) are', 'all cats are smarter than dogs, all dogs are dumber than cats')
# Output: ['cats', 'dogs']

[x.group() for x in re.finditer( r'all (.*?) are', 'all cats are smarter than dogs, all dogs are dumber than cats')]
# Output: ['all cats are', 'all dogs are']

Hashset vs Treeset

One advantage not yet mentioned of a TreeSet is that its has greater "locality", which is shorthand for saying (1) if two entries are nearby in the order, a TreeSet places them near each other in the data structure, and hence in memory; and (2) this placement takes advantage of the principle of locality, which says that similar data is often accessed by an application with similar frequency.

This is in contrast to a HashSet, which spreads the entries all over memory, no matter what their keys are.

When the latency cost of reading from a hard drive is thousands of times the cost of reading from cache or RAM, and when the data really is accessed with locality, the TreeSet can be a much better choice.

When to use async false and async true in ajax function in jquery

ShowPopUpForToDoList: function (id, apprId, tab) {
    var snapShot = "isFromAlert";
    if (tab != "Request")
        snapShot = "isFromTodoList";
    $.ajax({
        type: "GET",
        url: common.GetRootUrl('ActionForm/SetParamForToDoList'),
        data: { id: id, tab: tab },
        async:false,
        success: function (data) {
            ActionForm.EditActionFormPopup(id, snapShot);
        }
    });
},

Here SetParamForToDoList will be excecuted first after the function ActionForm.EditActionFormPopup will fire.

Upload file to SFTP using PowerShell

There isn't currently a built-in PowerShell method for doing the SFTP part. You'll have to use something like psftp.exe or a PowerShell module like Posh-SSH.

Here is an example using Posh-SSH:

# Set the credentials
$Password = ConvertTo-SecureString 'Password1' -AsPlainText -Force
$Credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ('root', $Password)

# Set local file path, SFTP path, and the backup location path which I assume is an SMB path
$FilePath = "C:\FileDump\test.txt"
$SftpPath = '/Outbox'
$SmbPath = '\\filer01\Backup'

# Set the IP of the SFTP server
$SftpIp = '10.209.26.105'

# Load the Posh-SSH module
Import-Module C:\Temp\Posh-SSH

# Establish the SFTP connection
$ThisSession = New-SFTPSession -ComputerName $SftpIp -Credential $Credential

# Upload the file to the SFTP path
Set-SFTPFile -SessionId ($ThisSession).SessionId -LocalFile $FilePath -RemotePath $SftpPath

#Disconnect all SFTP Sessions
Get-SFTPSession | % { Remove-SFTPSession -SessionId ($_.SessionId) }

# Copy the file to the SMB location
Copy-Item -Path $FilePath -Destination $SmbPath

Some additional notes:

  • You'll have to download the Posh-SSH module which you can install to your user module directory (e.g. C:\Users\jon_dechiro\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules) and just load using the name or put it anywhere and load it like I have in the code above.
  • If having the credentials in the script is not acceptable you'll have to use a credential file. If you need help with that I can update with some details or point you to some links.
  • Change the paths, IPs, etc. as needed.

That should give you a decent starting point.

How to: "Separate table rows with a line"

Just style the border of the rows:

?table tr {
    border-bottom: 1px solid black;
}?

table tr:last-child { 
    border-bottom: none; 
}

Here is a fiddle.

Edited as mentioned by @pkyeck. The second style avoids the line under the last row. Maybe you are looking for this.

Shell script to delete directories older than n days

This will do it recursively for you:

find /path/to/base/dir/* -type d -ctime +10 -exec rm -rf {} \;

Explanation:

  • find: the unix command for finding files / directories / links etc.
  • /path/to/base/dir: the directory to start your search in.
  • -type d: only find directories
  • -ctime +10: only consider the ones with modification time older than 10 days
  • -exec ... \;: for each such result found, do the following command in ...
  • rm -rf {}: recursively force remove the directory; the {} part is where the find result gets substituted into from the previous part.

Alternatively, use:

find /path/to/base/dir/* -type d -ctime +10 | xargs rm -rf

Which is a bit more efficient, because it amounts to:

rm -rf dir1 dir2 dir3 ...

as opposed to:

rm -rf dir1; rm -rf dir2; rm -rf dir3; ...

as in the -exec method.


With modern versions of find, you can replace the ; with + and it will do the equivalent of the xargs call for you, passing as many files as will fit on each exec system call:

find . -type d -ctime +10 -exec rm -rf {} +

LocalDate to java.util.Date and vice versa simplest conversion?

tl;dr

Is there a simple way to convert a LocalDate (introduced with Java 8) to java.util.Date object? By 'simple', I mean simpler than this

Nope. You did it properly, and as concisely as possible.

java.util.Date.from(                     // Convert from modern java.time class to troublesome old legacy class.  DO NOT DO THIS unless you must, to inter operate with old code not yet updated for java.time.
    myLocalDate                          // `LocalDate` class represents a date-only, without time-of-day and without time zone nor offset-from-UTC. 
    .atStartOfDay(                       // Let java.time determine the first moment of the day on that date in that zone. Never assume the day starts at 00:00:00.
        ZoneId.of( "America/Montreal" )  // Specify time zone using proper name in `continent/region` format, never 3-4 letter pseudo-zones such as “PST”, “CST”, “IST”. 
    )                                    // Produce a `ZonedDateTime` object. 
    .toInstant()                         // Extract an `Instant` object, a moment always in UTC.
)

Read below for issues, and then think about it. How could it be simpler? If you ask me what time does a date start, how else could I respond but ask you “Where?”?. A new day dawns earlier in Paris FR than in Montréal CA, and still earlier in Kolkata IN, and even earlier in Auckland NZ, all different moments.

So in converting a date-only (LocalDate) to a date-time we must apply a time zone (ZoneId) to get a zoned value (ZonedDateTime), and then move into UTC (Instant) to match the definition of a java.util.Date.

Details

Firstly, avoid the old legacy date-time classes such as java.util.Date whenever possible. They are poorly designed, confusing, and troublesome. They were supplanted by the java.time classes for a reason, actually, for many reasons.

But if you must, you can convert to/from java.time types to the old. Look for new conversion methods added to the old classes.

Table of all date-time types in Java, both modern and legacy

java.util.Date ? java.time.LocalDate

Keep in mind that a java.util.Date is a misnomer as it represents a date plus a time-of-day, in UTC. In contrast, the LocalDate class represents a date-only value without time-of-day and without time zone.

Going from java.util.Date to java.time means converting to the equivalent class of java.time.Instant. The Instant class represents a moment on the timeline in UTC with a resolution of nanoseconds (up to nine (9) digits of a decimal fraction).

Instant instant = myUtilDate.toInstant();

The LocalDate class represents a date-only value without time-of-day and without time zone.

A time zone is crucial in determining a date. For any given moment, the date varies around the globe by zone. For example, a few minutes after midnight in Paris France is a new day while still “yesterday” in Montréal Québec.

So we need to move that Instant into a time zone. We apply ZoneId to get a ZonedDateTime.

ZoneId z = ZoneId.of( "America/Montreal" );
ZonedDateTime zdt = instant.atZone( z );

From there, ask for a date-only, a LocalDate.

LocalDate ld = zdt.toLocalDate();

java.time.LocalDate ? java.util.Date

To move the other direction, from a java.time.LocalDate to a java.util.Date means we are going from a date-only to a date-time. So we must specify a time-of-day. You probably want to go for the first moment of the day. Do not assume that is 00:00:00. Anomalies such as Daylight Saving Time (DST) means the first moment may be another time such as 01:00:00. Let java.time determine that value by calling atStartOfDay on the LocalDate.

ZonedDateTime zdt = myLocalDate.atStartOfDay( z );

Now extract an Instant.

Instant instant = zdt.toInstant();

Convert that Instant to java.util.Date by calling from( Instant ).

java.util.Date d = java.util.Date.from( instant );

About java.time

The java.time framework is built into Java 8 and later. These classes supplant the troublesome old legacy date-time classes such as java.util.Date, Calendar, & SimpleDateFormat.

To learn more, see the Oracle Tutorial. And search Stack Overflow for many examples and explanations. Specification is JSR 310.

The Joda-Time project, now in maintenance mode, advises migration to the java.time classes.

You may exchange java.time objects directly with your database. Use a JDBC driver compliant with JDBC 4.2 or later. No need for strings, no need for java.sql.* classes. Hibernate 5 & JPA 2.2 support java.time.

Where to obtain the java.time classes?

Adding sheets to end of workbook in Excel (normal method not working?)

A common mistake is

mainWB.Sheets.Add(After:=Sheets.Count)

which leads to Error 1004. Although it is not clear at all from the official documentation, it turns out that the 'After' parameter cannot be an integer, it must be a reference to a sheet in the same workbook.

Submit form using a button outside the <form> tag

I had an issue where I was trying to hide the form from a table cell element, but still show the forms submit-button. The problem was that the form element was still taking up an extra blank space, making the format of my table cell look weird. The display:none and visibility:hidden attributes didn't work because it would hide the submit button as well, since it was contained within the form I was trying to hide. The simple answer was to set the forms height to barely nothing using CSS

So,

CSS -

    #formID {height:4px;}

worked for me.

python plot normal distribution

Unutbu answer is correct. But because our mean can be more or less than zero I would still like to change this :

Changing the highlight color when selecting text in an HTML text input

All answers here are correct when it comes to the ::selection pseudo element, and how it works. However, the question does in fact specifically ask how to use it on text inputs.

The only way to do that is to apply the rule via a parent of the input (any parent for that matter):

_x000D_
_x000D_
.parent ::-webkit-selection, [contenteditable]::-webkit-selection {_x000D_
 background: #ffb7b7;_x000D_

_x000D_
.parent ::selection, [contenteditable]::selection {_x000D_

How to see PL/SQL Stored Function body in Oracle

SELECT text 
FROM all_source
where name = 'FGETALGOGROUPKEY'
order by line

alternatively:

select dbms_metadata.get_ddl('FUNCTION', 'FGETALGOGROUPKEY')
from dual;

More elegant way of declaring multiple variables at the same time

I like the top voted answer; however, it has problems with list as shown.

  >> a, b = ([0]*5,)*2
  >> print b
  [0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
  >> a[0] = 1
  >> print b
  [1, 0, 0, 0, 0]

This is discussed in great details (here), but the gist is that a and b are the same object with a is b returning True (same for id(a) == id(b)). Therefore if you change an index, you are changing the index of both a and b, since they are linked. To solve this you can do (source)

>> a, b = ([0]*5 for i in range(2))
>> print b
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
>> a[0] = 1
>> print b
[0, 0, 0, 0, 0]

This can then be used as a variant of the top answer, which has the "desired" intuitive results

>> a, b, c, d, e, g, h, i = (True for i in range(9))
>> f = (False for i in range(1)) #to be pedantic

How to send file contents as body entity using cURL

I know the question has been answered, but in my case I was trying to send the content of a text file to the Slack Webhook api and for some reason the above answer did not work. Anywho, this is what finally did the trick for me:

curl -X POST -H --silent --data-urlencode "payload={\"text\": \"$(cat file.txt | sed "s/\"/'/g")\"}" https://hooks.slack.com/services/XXX

Update all objects in a collection using LINQ

Here is the extension method I use...

    /// <summary>
    /// Executes an Update statement block on all elements in an  IEnumerable of T
    /// sequence.
    /// </summary>
    /// <typeparam name="TSource">The source element type.</typeparam>
    /// <param name="source">The source sequence.</param>
    /// <param name="action">The action method to execute for each element.</param>
    /// <returns>The number of records affected.</returns>
    public static int Update<TSource>(this IEnumerable<TSource> source, Func<TSource> action)
    {
        if (source == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("source");
        if (action == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("action");
        if (typeof (TSource).IsValueType)
            throw new NotSupportedException("value type elements are not supported by update.");

        var count = 0;
        foreach (var element in source)
        {
            action(element);
            count++;
        }
        return count;
    }

Freezing Row 1 and Column A at the same time

Select cell B2 and click "Freeze Panes" this will freeze Row 1 and Column A.

For future reference, selecting Freeze Panes in Excel will freeze the rows above your selected cell and the columns to the left of your selected cell. For example, to freeze rows 1 and 2 and column A, you could select cell B3 and click Freeze Panes. You could also freeze columns A and B and row 1, by selecting cell C2 and clicking "Freeze Panes".

JS: Uncaught TypeError: object is not a function (onclick)

I was able to figure it out by following the answer in this thread: https://stackoverflow.com/a/8968495/1543447

Basically, I renamed all values, function names, and element names to different values so they wouldn't conflict - and it worked!

Replace special characters in a string with _ (underscore)

string = string.replace(/[\W_]/g, "_");

When should I use the new keyword in C++?

Which method should I use?

This is almost never determined by your typing preferences but by the context. If you need to keep the object across a few stacks or if it's too heavy for the stack you allocate it on the free store. Also, since you are allocating an object, you are also responsible for releasing the memory. Lookup the delete operator.

To ease the burden of using free-store management people have invented stuff like auto_ptr and unique_ptr. I strongly recommend you take a look at these. They might even be of help to your typing issues ;-)

Parsing JSON object in PHP using json_decode

This appears to work:

$url = 'http://www.worldweatheronline.com/feed/weather.ashx?q=schruns,austria&format=json&num_of_days=5&key=8f2d1ea151085304102710%22';
$content = file_get_contents($url);
$json = json_decode($content, true);

foreach($json['data']['weather'] as $item) {
    print $item['date'];
    print ' - ';
    print $item['weatherDesc'][0]['value'];
    print ' - ';
    print '<img src="' . $item['weatherIconUrl'][0]['value'] . '" border="0" alt="" />';
    print '<br>';
}

If you set the second parameter of json_decode to true, you get an array, so you cant use the -> syntax. I would also suggest you install the JSONview Firefox extension, so you can view generated json documents in a nice formatted tree view similiar to how Firefox displays XML structures. This makes things a lot easier.

Maximum concurrent connections to MySQL

As per the MySQL docs: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/server-system-variables.html#sysvar_max_user_connections

 maximum range: 4,294,967,295  (e.g. 2**32 - 1)

You'd probably run out of memory, file handles, and network sockets, on your server long before you got anywhere close to that limit.

How to run a function when the page is loaded?

Rather than using jQuery or window.onload, native JavaScript has adopted some great functions since the release of jQuery. All modern browsers now have their own DOM ready function without the use of a jQuery library.

I'd recommend this if you use native Javascript.

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
    alert("Ready!");
}, false);

Application Crashes With "Internal Error In The .NET Runtime"

I've experienced "internal errors" in the .NET runtime that turned out to be caused by bugs in my code; don't think that just because it was an "internal error" in the .NET runtime that there isn't a bug in your code as the root cause. Always always always blame your own code before you blame someone else's.

Hopefully you have logging and exception/stack trace information to point you where to start looking, or that you can repeat the state of the system before the crash.

Why does ANT tell me that JAVA_HOME is wrong when it is not?

When you say you have "clearly set" JAVA_HOME to "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_14" - is that what you see when you run "set" from the command line? I believe Ant will guess at a value for JAVA_HOME if one isn't set at all... is it possible that you've set JAVAHOME instead of JAVA_HOME?

If it's nothing like that, I suggest you edit the ant.bat batch file (and whatever it calls - I can't remember whether it's convoluted or not offhand) to print out JAVA_HOME at the start and at various other interesting places.

E: Unable to locate package npm

If you have installed nodejs, then you also have npm. Npm comes with node.

How to compile c# in Microsoft's new Visual Studio Code?

Install the extension "Code Runner". Check if you can compile your program with csc (ex.: csc hello.cs). The command csc is shipped with Mono. Then add this to your VS Code user settings:

"code-runner.executorMap": {
        "csharp": "echo '# calling mono\n' && cd $dir && csc /nologo $fileName && mono $dir$fileNameWithoutExt.exe",
        // "csharp": "echo '# calling dotnet run\n' && dotnet run"
    }

Open your C# file and use the execution key of Code Runner.

Edit: also added dotnet run, so you can choose how you want to execute your program: with Mono, or with dotnet. If you choose dotnet, then first create the project (dotnet new console, dotnet restore).

Jobs.aspx

This is the phyiscal file -> CodeFile="Jobs.aspx.cs"

This is the class which handles the events of the page -> Inherits="Members_Jobs"

Jobs.aspx.cs

This is the partial class which manages the page events -> public partial class Members_Jobs : System.Web.UI.Page

The other part of the partial class should be -> public partial class Members_Jobs this is usually the designer file.

you dont need to have partial classes and could declare your controls all in 1 class and not have a designer file.

EDIT 27/09/2013 11:37

if you are still having issues with this I would do as Bharadwaj suggested and delete the designer file. You can then right-click on the page, in the solution explorer, and there is an option, something like "Convert to Web Application", which will regenerate your designer file

How do you configure an OpenFileDialog to select folders?

On Vista you can use IFileDialog with FOS_PICKFOLDERS option set. That will cause display of OpenFileDialog-like window where you can select folders:

var frm = (IFileDialog)(new FileOpenDialogRCW());
uint options;
frm.GetOptions(out options);
options |= FOS_PICKFOLDERS;
frm.SetOptions(options);

if (frm.Show(owner.Handle) == S_OK) {
    IShellItem shellItem;
    frm.GetResult(out shellItem);
    IntPtr pszString;
    shellItem.GetDisplayName(SIGDN_FILESYSPATH, out pszString);
    this.Folder = Marshal.PtrToStringAuto(pszString);
}

For older Windows you can always resort to trick with selecting any file in folder.

Working example that works on .NET Framework 2.0 and later can be found here.

Perform Segue programmatically and pass parameters to the destination view

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

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

refresh leaflet map: map container is already initialized

What you can try is to remove the map before initialising it or when you leave the page:

if(this.map) {
  this.map.remove();
}

What exactly are DLL files, and how do they work?

DLL files contain an Export Table which is a list of symbols which can be looked up by the calling program. The symbols are typically functions with the C calling convention (__stcall). The export table also contains the address of the function.

With this information, the calling program can then call the functions within the DLL even though it did not have access to the DLL at compile time.

Introducing Dynamic Link Libraries has some more information.

justify-content property isn't working

I was having a lot of problems with justify-content, and I figured out the problem was "margin: 0 auto"

The auto part overrides the justify-content so its always displayed according to the margin and not to the justify-content.

Extract substring using regexp in plain bash

Using pure :

$ cat file.txt
US/Central - 10:26 PM (CST)
$ while read a b time x; do [[ $b == - ]] && echo $time; done < file.txt

another solution with bash regex :

$ [[ "US/Central - 10:26 PM (CST)" =~ -[[:space:]]*([0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}) ]] &&
    echo ${BASH_REMATCH[1]}

another solution using grep and look-around advanced regex :

$ echo "US/Central - 10:26 PM (CST)" | grep -oP "\-\s+\K\d{2}:\d{2}"

another solution using sed :

$ echo "US/Central - 10:26 PM (CST)" |
    sed 's/.*\- *\([0-9]\{2\}:[0-9]\{2\}\).*/\1/'

another solution using perl :

$ echo "US/Central - 10:26 PM (CST)" |
    perl -lne 'print $& if /\-\s+\K\d{2}:\d{2}/'

and last one using awk :

$ echo "US/Central - 10:26 PM (CST)" |
    awk '{for (i=0; i<=NF; i++){if ($i == "-"){print $(i+1);exit}}}'

Conditional Replace Pandas

np.where function works as follows:

df['X'] = np.where(df['Y']>=50, 'yes', 'no')

In your case you would want:

df['my_channel'] = np.where(df.my_channel > 20000, 0, df.my_channel)

How to format Joda-Time DateTime to only mm/dd/yyyy?

Call js-function using JQuery timer

You can use setInterval() method also you can call your setTimeout() from your custom function for example

function everyTenSec(){
  console.log("done");
  setTimeout(everyTenSec,10000);
}
everyTenSec();

Saving a text file on server using JavaScript

It's not possible to save content to the website using only client-side scripting such as JavaScript and jQuery, but by submitting the data in an AJAX POST request you could perform the other half very easily on the server-side.

However, I would not recommend having raw content such as scripts so easily writeable to your hosting as this could easily be exploited. If you want to learn more about AJAX POST requests, you can read the jQuery API page:

http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.post/

And here are some things you ought to be aware of if you still want to save raw script files on your hosting. You have to be very careful with security if you are handling files like this!

File uploading (most of this applies if sending plain text too if javascript can choose the name of the file) http://www.developershome.com/wap/wapUpload/wap_upload.asp?page=security https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Unrestricted_File_Upload

ES6 Map in Typescript

Here is an example:

Demo

The ORDER BY clause is invalid in views, inline functions, derived tables, subqueries, and common table expressions

You do not need to use ORDER BY in inner query after WHERE clause because you have already used it in ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY VRDATE DESC).

SELECT 
    * 
FROM (
    SELECT 
        Stockmain.VRNOA, 
        item.description as item_description, 
        party.name as party_name, 
        stockmain.vrdate, 
        stockdetail.qty, 
        stockdetail.rate, 
        stockdetail.amount, 
        ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY VRDATE DESC) AS RowNum  --< ORDER BY
    FROM StockMain 
    INNER JOIN StockDetail 
        ON StockMain.stid = StockDetail.stid 
    INNER JOIN party 
        ON party.party_id = stockmain.party_id 
    INNER JOIN item 
        ON item.item_id = stockdetail.item_id 
    WHERE stockmain.etype='purchase' 
) AS MyDerivedTable
WHERE 
    MyDerivedTable.RowNum BETWEEN 1 and 5 

Converting a JS object to an array using jQuery

If you are looking for a functional approach:

var obj = {1: 11, 2: 22};
var arr = Object.keys(obj).map(function (key) { return obj[key]; });

Results in:

[11, 22]

The same with an ES6 arrow function:

Object.keys(obj).map(key => obj[key])

With ES7 you will be able to use Object.values instead (more information):

var arr = Object.values(obj);

Or if you are already using Underscore/Lo-Dash:

var arr = _.values(obj)

Efficient way of having a function only execute once in a loop

If the condition check needs to happen only once you are in the loop, having a flag signaling that you have already run the function helps. In this case you used a counter, a boolean variable would work just as fine.

signal = False
count = 0 
def callme(): 
     print "I am being called"  
while count < 2: 
     if signal == False : 
         callme()
         signal = True
     count +=1

How to confirm RedHat Enterprise Linux version?

I assume that you've run yum upgrade. That will in general update you to the newest minor release.

Your main resources for determining the version are /etc/redhat_release and lsb_release -a

ASP.NET Custom Validator Client side & Server Side validation not firing

Also check that you are not using validation groups as that validation wouldnt fire if the validationgroup property was set and not explicitly called via

 Page.Validate({Insert validation group name here});

LINQ query to find if items in a list are contained in another list

List<string> l = new List<string> { "@bob.com", "@tom.com" };
List<string> l2 = new List<string> { "[email protected]", "[email protected]" };
List<string> myboblist= (l2.Where (i=>i.Contains("bob")).ToList<string>());
foreach (var bob in myboblist)
    Console.WriteLine(bob.ToString());

GCD to perform task in main thread

As the other answers mentioned, dispatch_async from the main thread is fine.

However, depending on your use case, there is a side effect that you may consider a disadvantage: since the block is scheduled on a queue, it won't execute until control goes back to the run loop, which will have the effect of delaying your block's execution.

For example,

NSLog(@"before dispatch async");
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
    NSLog(@"inside dispatch async block main thread from main thread");
});
NSLog(@"after dispatch async");

Will print out:

before dispatch async
after dispatch async
inside dispatch async block main thread from main thread

For this reason, if you were expecting the block to execute in-between the outer NSLog's, dispatch_async would not help you.

Add jars to a Spark Job - spark-submit

Other configurable Spark option relating to jars and classpath, in case of yarn as deploy mode are as follows
From the spark documentation,

spark.yarn.jars

List of libraries containing Spark code to distribute to YARN containers. By default, Spark on YARN will use Spark jars installed locally, but the Spark jars can also be in a world-readable location on HDFS. This allows YARN to cache it on nodes so that it doesn't need to be distributed each time an application runs. To point to jars on HDFS, for example, set this configuration to hdfs:///some/path. Globs are allowed.

spark.yarn.archive

An archive containing needed Spark jars for distribution to the YARN cache. If set, this configuration replaces spark.yarn.jars and the archive is used in all the application's containers. The archive should contain jar files in its root directory. Like with the previous option, the archive can also be hosted on HDFS to speed up file distribution.

Users can configure this parameter to specify their jars, which inturn gets included in Spark driver's classpath.

File URL "Not allowed to load local resource" in the Internet Browser

You just need to replace all image network paths to byte strings in HTML string. For this first you required HtmlAgilityPack to convert Html string to Html document. https://www.nuget.org/packages/HtmlAgilityPack

Find Below code to convert each image src network path(or local path) to byte sting. It will definitely display all images with network path(or local path) in IE,chrome and firefox.

string encodedHtmlString = Emailmodel.DtEmailFields.Rows[0]["Body"].ToString();

        // Decode the encoded string.
        StringWriter myWriter = new StringWriter();
        HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(encodedHtmlString, myWriter);
        string DecodedHtmlString = myWriter.ToString();

        //find and replace each img src with byte string
         HtmlDocument document = new HtmlDocument();
         document.LoadHtml(DecodedHtmlString);
         document.DocumentNode.Descendants("img")
          .Where(e =>
        {
            string src = e.GetAttributeValue("src", null) ?? "";
            return !string.IsNullOrEmpty(src);//&& src.StartsWith("data:image");
        })
        .ToList()
                    .ForEach(x =>
                    {
                        string currentSrcValue = x.GetAttributeValue("src", null);                                
                        string filePath = Path.GetDirectoryName(currentSrcValue) + "\\";
                        string filename = Path.GetFileName(currentSrcValue);
                        string contenttype = "image/" + Path.GetExtension(filename).Replace(".", "");
                        FileStream fs = new FileStream(filePath + filename, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
                        BinaryReader br = new BinaryReader(fs);
                        Byte[] bytes = br.ReadBytes((Int32)fs.Length);
                        br.Close();
                        fs.Close();
                        x.SetAttributeValue("src", "data:" + contenttype + ";base64," + Convert.ToBase64String(bytes));                                
                    });

        string result = document.DocumentNode.OuterHtml;
        //Encode HTML string
        string myEncodedString = HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(result);

        Emailmodel.DtEmailFields.Rows[0]["Body"] = myEncodedString;

Are static methods inherited in Java?

All methods that are accessible are inherited by subclasses.

From the Sun Java Tutorials:

A subclass inherits all of the public and protected members of its parent, no matter what package the subclass is in. If the subclass is in the same package as its parent, it also inherits the package-private members of the parent. You can use the inherited members as is, replace them, hide them, or supplement them with new members

The only difference with inherited static (class) methods and inherited non-static (instance) methods is that when you write a new static method with the same signature, the old static method is just hidden, not overridden.

From the page on the difference between overriding and hiding.

The distinction between hiding and overriding has important implications. The version of the overridden method that gets invoked is the one in the subclass. The version of the hidden method that gets invoked depends on whether it is invoked from the superclass or the subclass

Inserting data into a temporary table

To insert all data from all columns, just use this:

SELECT * INTO #TempTable
FROM OriginalTable

Don't forget to DROP the temporary table after you have finished with it and before you try creating it again:

DROP TABLE #TempTable

Select2() is not a function

I was having this problem when I started using select2 with XCrud. I solved it by disabling XCrud from loading JQuery, it was it a second time, and loading it below the body tag. So make sure JQuery isn't getting loaded twice on your page.

Print a file's last modified date in Bash

On OS X, I like my date to be in the format of YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM in the output for the file.

So to specify a file I would use:

stat -f "%Sm" -t "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M" [filename]

If I want to run it on a range of files, I can do something like this:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
for i in /var/log/*.out; do
  stat -f "%Sm" -t "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M" "$i"
done

This example will print out the last time I ran the sudo periodic daily weekly monthly command as it references the log files.


To add the filenames under each date, I would run the following instead:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
for i in /var/log/*.out; do
  stat -f "%Sm" -t "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M" "$i"
  echo "$i"
done

The output would was the following:

2016-40-01 16:40
/var/log/daily.out
2016-40-01 16:40
/var/log/monthly.out
2016-40-01 16:40
/var/log/weekly.out

Unfortunately I'm not sure how to prevent the line break and keep the file name appended to the end of the date without adding more lines to the script.


PS - I use #!/usr/bin/env bash as I'm a Python user by day, and have different versions of bash installed on my system instead of #!/bin/bash

LINQ Using Max() to select a single row

More one example:

Follow:

 qryAux = (from q in qryAux where
            q.OrdSeq == (from pp in Sessao.Query<NameTable>() where pp.FieldPk
            == q.FieldPk select pp.OrdSeq).Max() select q);

Equals:

 select t.*   from nametable t  where t.OrdSeq =
        (select max(t2.OrdSeq) from nametable t2 where t2.FieldPk= t.FieldPk)

height: calc(100%) not working correctly in CSS

If you are styling calc in a GWT project, its parser might not parse calc for you as it did not for me... the solution is to wrap it in a css literal like this:

height: literal("-moz-calc(100% - (20px + 30px))");
height: literal("-webkit-calc(100% - (20px + 30px))");
height: literal("calc(100% - (20px + 30px))");

Java: convert seconds to minutes, hours and days

my quick answer with basic java arithmetic calculation is this:

First consider the following values:

1 Minute = 60 Seconds
1 Hour = 3600 Seconds ( 60 * 60 )
1 Day = 86400 Second ( 24 * 3600 )
  1. First divide the input by 86400, if you you can get a number greater than 0 , this is the number of days. 2.Again divide the remained number you get from the first calculation by 3600, this will give you the number of hours
  2. Then divide the remainder of your second calculation by 60 which is the number of Minutes
  3. Finally the remained number from your third calculation is the number of seconds

the code snippet is as follows:

int input=500000;
int numberOfDays;
int numberOfHours;
int numberOfMinutes;
int numberOfSeconds;

numberOfDays = input / 86400;
numberOfHours = (input % 86400 ) / 3600 ;
numberOfMinutes = ((input % 86400 ) % 3600 ) / 60 
numberOfSeconds = ((input % 86400 ) % 3600 ) % 60  ;

I hope to be helpful to you.

how to achieve transfer file between client and server using java socket

Reading quickly through the source it seems that you're not far off. The following link should help (I did something similar but for FTP). For a file send from server to client, you start off with a file instance and an array of bytes. You then read the File into the byte array and write the byte array to the OutputStream which corresponds with the InputStream on the client's side.

Edit: Here's a working ultra-minimalistic file sender and receiver. Make sure you understand what the code is doing on both sides.

What is the meaning of curly braces?

"Curly Braces" are used in Python to define a dictionary. A dictionary is a data structure that maps one value to another - kind of like how an English dictionary maps a word to its definition.

Python:

dict = {
    "a" : "Apple",
    "b" : "Banana",
}

They are also used to format strings, instead of the old C style using %, like:

ds = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']
x = ['has_{} 1'.format(d) for d in ds]

print x

['has_a 1', 'has_b 1', 'has_c 1', 'has_d 1']

They are not used to denote code blocks as they are in many "C-like" languages.

C:

if (condition) {
    // do this
}

PostgreSQL - query from bash script as database user 'postgres'

The safest way to pass commands to psql in a script is by piping a string or passing a here-doc.

The man docs for the -c/--command option goes into more detail when it should be avoided.

   -c command
   --command=command
       Specifies that psql is to execute one command string, command, and then exit. This is useful in shell scripts. Start-up files (psqlrc and ~/.psqlrc)
       are ignored with this option.

       command must be either a command string that is completely parsable by the server (i.e., it contains no psql-specific features), or a single
       backslash command. Thus you cannot mix SQL and psql meta-commands with this option. To achieve that, you could pipe the string into psql, for
       example: echo '\x \\ SELECT * FROM foo;' | psql. (\\ is the separator meta-command.)

       If the command string contains multiple SQL commands, they are processed in a single transaction, unless there are explicit BEGIN/COMMIT commands
       included in the string to divide it into multiple transactions. This is different from the behavior when the same string is fed to psql's standard
       input. Also, only the result of the last SQL command is returned.

       Because of these legacy behaviors, putting more than one command in the -c string often has unexpected results. It's better to feed multiple
       commands to psql's standard input, either using echo as illustrated above, or via a shell here-document, for example:

           psql <<EOF
           \x
           SELECT * FROM foo;
           EOF

How to update primary key

You shouldn't really do this but insert in a new record instead and update it that way.
But, if you really need to, you can do the following:

  • Disable enforcing FK constraints temporarily (e.g. ALTER TABLE foo WITH NOCHECK CONSTRAINT ALL)
  • Then update your PK
  • Then update your FKs to match the PK change
  • Finally enable back enforcing FK constraints

Finding the 'type' of an input element

If you are using jQuery you can easily check the type of any element.

    function(elementID){    
    var type = $(elementId).attr('type');
    if(type == "text") //inputBox
     console.log("input text" + $(elementId).val().size());
   }

similarly you can check the other types and take appropriate action.

Can ordered list produce result that looks like 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 (instead of just 1, 2, 3, ...) with css?

The solutions posted here did not work well for me, so I did a mixture of the ones of this question and the following question: Is it possible to create multi-level ordered list in HTML?

/* Numbered lists like 1, 1.1, 2.2.1... */
ol li {display:block;} /* hide original list counter */
ol > li:first-child {counter-reset: item;} /* reset counter */
ol > li {counter-increment: item; position: relative;} /* increment counter */
ol > li:before {content:counters(item, ".") ". "; position: absolute; margin-right: 100%; right: 10px;} /* print counter */

Result:

How to access the local Django webserver from outside world

I'm going to add this here:

  1. sudo python manage.py runserver 80

  2. Go to your phone or computer and enter your computers internal IP (e.g 192.168.0.12) into the browser.

At this point you should be connected to the Django server.

This should also work without sudo:

python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

How to subtract X days from a date using Java calendar?

I believe a clean and nice way to perform subtraction or addition of any time unit (months, days, hours, minutes, seconds, ...) can be achieved using the java.time.Instant class.

Example for subtracting 5 days from the current time and getting the result as Date:

new Date(Instant.now().minus(5, ChronoUnit.DAYS).toEpochMilli());

Another example for subtracting 1 hour and adding 15 minutes:

Date.from(Instant.now().minus(Duration.ofHours(1)).plus(Duration.ofMinutes(15)));

If you need more accuracy, Instance measures up to nanoseconds. Methods manipulating nanosecond part:

minusNano()
plusNano()
getNano()

Also, keep in mind, that Date is not as accurate as Instant.

Javascript Print iframe contents only

Print PDF directly from JavaScript

Cross browser solution for printing pdf from base64 string:

  • Chrome: print window is opened
  • FF: new tab with pdf is opened
  • IE11: open/save prompt is opened

.

const blobPdfFromBase64String = base64String => {
   const byteArray = Uint8Array.from(
     atob(base64String)
       .split('')
       .map(char => char.charCodeAt(0))
   );
  return new Blob([byteArray], { type: 'application/pdf' });
};

const isIE11 = !!(window.navigator && window.navigator.msSaveOrOpenBlob); // or however you want to check it

const printPDF = blob => {
   try {
     isIE11
       ? window.navigator.msSaveOrOpenBlob(blob, 'documents.pdf')
       : printJS(URL.createObjectURL(blob)); // http://printjs.crabbly.com/
   } catch (e) {
     throw PDFError;
   }
};

printPDF(blobPdfFromBase64String(base64String))

BONUS - Opening blob file in new tab for IE11

If you're able to do some preprocessing of the base64 string on the server you could expose it under some url and use the link in printJS :)

How to convert a string to an integer in JavaScript?

In my opinion, no answer covers all edge cases as parsing a float should result in an error.

function parseInteger(value) {
    if(value === '') return NaN;
    const number = Number(value);
    return Number.isInteger(number) ? number : NaN;
}
parseInteger("4")            // 4
parseInteger("5aaa")         // NaN
parseInteger("4.33333")      // NaN
parseInteger("aaa");         // NaN

Find and replace entire mysql database

This isn't possible - you need to carry out an UPDATE for each table individually.

WARNING: DUBIOUS, BUT IT'LL WORK (PROBABLY) SOLUTION FOLLOWS

Alternatively, you could dump the database via mysqldump and simply perform the search/replace on the resultant SQL file. (I'd recommend offlining anything that might touch the database whilst this is in progress, as well as using the --add-drop-table and --extended-insert flags.) However, you'd need to be sure that the search/replace text wasn't going to alter anything other than the data itself (i.e.: that the text you were going to swap out might not occur as a part of SQL syntax) and I'd really try doing the re-insert on an empty test database first.)

Difference between __getattr__ vs __getattribute__

Lets see some simple examples of both __getattr__ and __getattribute__ magic methods.

__getattr__

Python will call __getattr__ method whenever you request an attribute that hasn't already been defined. In the following example my class Count has no __getattr__ method. Now in main when I try to access both obj1.mymin and obj1.mymax attributes everything works fine. But when I try to access obj1.mycurrent attribute -- Python gives me AttributeError: 'Count' object has no attribute 'mycurrent'

class Count():
    def __init__(self,mymin,mymax):
        self.mymin=mymin
        self.mymax=mymax

obj1 = Count(1,10)
print(obj1.mymin)
print(obj1.mymax)
print(obj1.mycurrent)  --> AttributeError: 'Count' object has no attribute 'mycurrent'

Now my class Count has __getattr__ method. Now when I try to access obj1.mycurrent attribute -- python returns me whatever I have implemented in my __getattr__ method. In my example whenever I try to call an attribute which doesn't exist, python creates that attribute and set it to integer value 0.

class Count:
    def __init__(self,mymin,mymax):
        self.mymin=mymin
        self.mymax=mymax    

    def __getattr__(self, item):
        self.__dict__[item]=0
        return 0

obj1 = Count(1,10)
print(obj1.mymin)
print(obj1.mymax)
print(obj1.mycurrent1)

__getattribute__

Now lets see the __getattribute__ method. If you have __getattribute__ method in your class, python invokes this method for every attribute regardless whether it exists or not. So why we need __getattribute__ method? One good reason is that you can prevent access to attributes and make them more secure as shown in the following example.

Whenever someone try to access my attributes that starts with substring 'cur' python raises AttributeError exception. Otherwise it returns that attribute.

class Count:

    def __init__(self,mymin,mymax):
        self.mymin=mymin
        self.mymax=mymax
        self.current=None

    def __getattribute__(self, item):
        if item.startswith('cur'):
            raise AttributeError
        return object.__getattribute__(self,item) 
        # or you can use ---return super().__getattribute__(item)

obj1 = Count(1,10)
print(obj1.mymin)
print(obj1.mymax)
print(obj1.current)

Important: In order to avoid infinite recursion in __getattribute__ method, its implementation should always call the base class method with the same name to access any attributes it needs. For example: object.__getattribute__(self, name) or super().__getattribute__(item) and not self.__dict__[item]

IMPORTANT

If your class contain both getattr and getattribute magic methods then __getattribute__ is called first. But if __getattribute__ raises AttributeError exception then the exception will be ignored and __getattr__ method will be invoked. See the following example:

class Count(object):

    def __init__(self,mymin,mymax):
        self.mymin=mymin
        self.mymax=mymax
        self.current=None

    def __getattr__(self, item):
            self.__dict__[item]=0
            return 0

    def __getattribute__(self, item):
        if item.startswith('cur'):
            raise AttributeError
        return object.__getattribute__(self,item)
        # or you can use ---return super().__getattribute__(item)
        # note this class subclass object

obj1 = Count(1,10)
print(obj1.mymin)
print(obj1.mymax)
print(obj1.current)

how to parse JSON file with GSON

You have to fetch the whole data in the list and then do the iteration as it is a file and will become inefficient otherwise.

private static final Type REVIEW_TYPE = new TypeToken<List<Review>>() {
}.getType();
Gson gson = new Gson();
JsonReader reader = new JsonReader(new FileReader(filename));
List<Review> data = gson.fromJson(reader, REVIEW_TYPE); // contains the whole reviews list
data.toScreen(); // prints to screen some values

Jenkins CI: How to trigger builds on SVN commit

You can use a post-commit hook.

Put the post-commit hook script in the hooks folder, create a wget_folder in your C:\ drive, and put the wget.exe file in this folder. Add the following code in the file called post-commit.bat

SET REPOS=%1   
SET REV=%2

FOR /f "tokens=*" %%a IN (  
'svnlook uuid %REPOS%'  
) DO (  
SET UUID=%%a  
)  

FOR /f "tokens=*" %%b IN (  
'svnlook changed --revision %REV% %REPOS%'  
) DO (  
SET POST=%%b   
)

echo %REPOS% ----- 1>&2

echo %REV% -- 1>&2

echo %UUID% --1>&2

echo %POST% --1>&2

C:\wget_folder\wget ^   
    --header="Content-Type:text/plain" ^   
    --post-data="%POST%" ^   
    --output-document="-" ^   
    --timeout=2 ^     
    http://localhost:9090/job/Test/build/%UUID%/notifyCommit?rev=%REV%    

where Test = name of the job

echo is used to see the value and you can also add exit 2 at the end to know about the issue and whether the post-commit hook script is running or not.

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

Connection timeouts (assuming a local network and several client machines) typically result from

a) some kind of firewall on the way that simply eats the packets without telling the sender things like "No Route to host"

b) packet loss due to wrong network configuration or line overload

c) too many requests overloading the server

d) a small number of simultaneously available threads/processes on the server which leads to all of them being taken. This happens especially with requests that take a long time to run and may combine with c).

Hope this helps.

Update records using LINQ

This worked best.

(from p in Context.person_account_portfolio 
 where p.person_id == personId select p).ToList()
                                        .ForEach(x => x.is_default = false);

Context.SaveChanges();

Convert date to day name e.g. Mon, Tue, Wed

Your code works for me.

$input = 201308131830; 
echo date("Y-M-d H:i:s",strtotime($input)) . "\n";
echo date("D", strtotime($input)) . "\n";

Output:

2013-Aug-13 18:30:00
Tue

However if you pass 201308131830 as a number it is 50 to 100x larger than can be represented by a 32-bit integer. [dependent on your system's specific implementation] If your server/PHP version does not support 64-bit integers then the number will overflow and probably end up being output as a negative number and date() will default to Jan 1, 1970 00:00:00 GMT.

Make sure whatever source you are retrieving this data from returns that date as a string, and keep it as a string.

How to query nested objects?

The two query mechanism work in different ways, as suggested in the docs at the section Subdocuments:

When the field holds an embedded document (i.e, subdocument), you can either specify the entire subdocument as the value of a field, or “reach into” the subdocument using dot notation, to specify values for individual fields in the subdocument:

Equality matches within subdocuments select documents if the subdocument matches exactly the specified subdocument, including the field order.


In the following example, the query matches all documents where the value of the field producer is a subdocument that contains only the field company with the value 'ABC123' and the field address with the value '123 Street', in the exact order:

db.inventory.find( {
    producer: {
        company: 'ABC123',
        address: '123 Street'
    }
});

tar: file changed as we read it

To enhance Fabian's one-liner; let us say that we want to ignore only exit status 1 but to preserve the exit status if it is anything else:

tar -czf sample.tar.gz dir1 dir2 || ( export ret=$?; [[ $ret -eq 1 ]] || exit "$ret" )

This does everything sandeep's script does, on one line.

ORDER BY date and time BEFORE GROUP BY name in mysql

I think this is what you are seeking :

SELECT name, min(date)
FROM myTable
GROUP BY name
ORDER BY min(date)

For the time, you have to make a mysql date via STR_TO_DATE :

STR_TO_DATE(date + ' ' + time, '%Y-%m-%d %h:%i:%s')

So :

SELECT name, min(STR_TO_DATE(date + ' ' + time, '%Y-%m-%d %h:%i:%s'))
FROM myTable
GROUP BY name
ORDER BY min(STR_TO_DATE(date + ' ' + time, '%Y-%m-%d %h:%i:%s'))

How to redirect to Login page when Session is expired in Java web application?

Inside the filter inject this JavaScript which will bring the login page like this. If you don't do this then in your AJAX call you will get login page and the contents of login page will be appended.

Inside your filter or redirect insert this script in response:

String scr = "<script>window.location=\""+request.getContextPath()+"/login.do\"</script>";
response.getWriter().write(scr);
